Fields missing from MYSQL table in Database Expert

I have just updgraded from Crystal XI to 2011 and I am still having issues with joining a mysql table to any other table.
Fields show up in field explorer but when I try to uise Database expert the only filed in the MYSQL table is the ID field.
Am I missing something here. Same problem with both versions. When I runa report using just the mysql table evrything works fine.

Typically if the field doesn't show up the CR can't figure out what type it is which means when we query the DB for the field type the client/server returns the wrong type or some type that CR doesn't support.
How is the field defined on the server?
Thank you
Don

Reading Data from a Table With an Expert

Hi all - I'm trying to write an Expert in OWB that would read data from a table and create a new table based on that information. I have the table creation part down, but how can I read data from a table with an Expert? From what I've read, Experts only deal with metadata, and there is no mechanism in Experts to actually read data in the tables. Does OraTcl work in Experts? Has anyone ever came across this problem, and if so, how did you solve it? Thanks in advance for your time! - Don

Hi Don
Can also use Java and JDBC from within Tcl, see the routines in this file below, take modify or whatever;
http://blogs.oracle.com/warehousebuilder/ombora.tcl
source <dir>\ombora.tcl
set g_user scott
set g_upwd zzzzzz
set g_hostname localhost
set g_port 1521
set g_srvname ora111
oraconnect $g_user $g_upwd $g_hostname:$g_port:$g_srvname
oraselect "select * from emp" ""
As well as dumping the results to stdout (you probably want to comment that part out and change any other part you don't like), g_res is a ResultSet object you can use to do whatever.

Reading Field Labels from Lookup Table

Post Author: Ohmylord
CA Forum: Formula
I'm trying to read the field labels from the database so I can have one set of reports and have them work in multiple languages by changing the display value. I created a lookup table that has these fields and values: ID    EnglishValue   DisplayValue1    Customer   Cliente2   CustomerNumber    Numero del Clienteetc.   I then created a formula field for each label (@Customer Label, @CustomerNumber Label). The formula just contains the DisplayValue field. Then I used Select Records and added a Where ID=1 or ID=2. The problem is that whatever the last value I put in for the ID applies to each of the different formulas I created. In other words, it reads the labels from the database, but they are all the same. It seems like it should be pretty easy but I'm obviously missing something. Most reports probably have 15 or so labels on them. Thanks for any help!

CA Forum: Formula
Here's some sample data from the table I created.
   Translation
   Autonumber
   ID
   EnglishLabel
   DisplayValue
1
1
Customer
Cliente
2
2
Customer Number
Codice Cliente
3
3
Quote Date
Data Quota
4
4
Expiration Date
Data Scadenza
What I want on the report is 4 fields each one would show a different value. The simplified select statement I'm trying to get for the different fields is something like:Field 1 - Select DisplayValue where ID=1Field 2 - Select DisplayValue where ID=2etc for the other 2 fields.   When a different user has a different language we would just populate the DisplayValue with different data.

Fields missing in Oracles tables created by Infospokes

Hi S.A.P Gurus!
My problem is as follows:
We have created Infopokes with Oracle table as destination.
Even though, the transport to other systems is correct, and the infospoke have all the fields, when we execute it, some fields are missing in the destination (oracle table), and they should appear.
Does anyone know what we could do to avoid this problem?
Thanks in advance!
Kind regards.

Hi Raul,
Was just going through your thread ..and found that you were able to transfer the data to the oracle table.
I am aslo working on infospoke where I have to transfer the data from my Infoobject to a table in Oracle.
For that i have created a infospoke and executed it to get the data in the another tabel in sap.
The problem is that I dnt know how to move the data from this table in SAP to oracle table . Did u used any interface for this or any kind of ABAP programming that you have done.
Please suggest how this can be implemented.
I have open up a thread for this InfoSpokes InfoSpokes
Reward Points will be awarded.

Insert or Modify statement from internal table to database table

Hi All,
I have three tables wakh, wrf and wakp. I have an internal table with 5 columns col1, col2, col3, col4 and col5.
The value in Col1 is my article no and the articleno. is in the table wakh. The value in col2 is my ccode and it is in the table wrf. The rest three columns col3, col4 and col5 are unit, qty and price and they are in the wakp table. Now when my articleno is equal to ccode I need to update the col3, col4 and col5 values in the wakp. wakp has around 20 columns.
Can anyone of you guys please give me the code for this issue. Your help is highly appreciated and thanks for all for your time.
Cheers,
Cheng

Hi Rob,
let me explain you the whole process what i am trying to do. I have a screen where there are 3 fields. In my first field I have a promoiton no. As soon as the user enters the promotion no. its description will be populated in my second field. If the promotion is not maintained then it will throw an error. In my third field User will upload an excel sheet which has 5 columns articleno, colorcode, salesunit, qty, mdprice. Here articleno is coming from wakh and colorcode is in wrf_charval table and the rest three fields are coming from wakp table. So for the article no. which is in col1. and for its corresponding colorcode which is in col3 i need to update col3, col4, col5 values.
With my below code I am able to upload the excel into internal table and display it. So instead of displaying I need to update in the database. Can you please let me know how I need to attach the function module within my code and update accordingly.

Create PHP form from MySQL table structure

Hi folks
Not directly DW related, but ....
Anybody got any recommendations for a utility which would
create a quick head
start by creating the php/html code for a basic form using
the field structure
of a MySQL table ?
Thanks for any suggestions.

Hi Joe
Thanks for this ...
phpMyEdit looks very good and very useful, and I'm playing
with it to see just
how configurable it proves to be.
It looks good for general admin tasks etc. bet whether it
proves suitable for
end user (public) use remains to be seen.
It is basically a class which generates the page code server
side at runtime
using the parameters you set in a calling script, but of
course you can grab
the source code for the generated page which may prove to
satisfy my initial
request.
Anyway ... from what I've seen so far I could recommend that
it is well worth
some time exploring the possibilities.
Cheers,
Ronnie

Fields missing from CREMAS03

I am tasked to update vendor master data using IDOCS and i immediately thought that CREMAS03 will do the job. However i am having difficulty in finding the following fields in the idoc
1. SMTP_ADDR - mail address
2.DEFLT_COMM - Standard Comm. type
3. Building Code, Room and Floor
4. House No
5. Telephone extensions
Are they really missing from the IDOC?. is there any other mechanism to populate these fields?. You help will be much appreciated.
Arul

More info:
I looked at the IDOC structure using we60 before posting here. I can not find these filds. is there any trick in passing these fields? is there any other alternative method of updating these fields?.

Fields missing from extractor

Hi Guys,
I have 65 fields in an extractor (Generic Datasource). When I replicate the datasource and go to the fields tab in datasource, i see that one of the line is being skipped.
After Pos. 26, i see Pos. 28, 29..... Pos. 26 and Pos. 27 are both currency but we have identified one as WAERS and WAERS_LOC (Coming from different tables).
Secondly, when I create a transformation for the DSO and join it with this datasource, I see only 61 fields (instead of 64 or 65).
Has somebody encountered this problem before ? How do I fix it ?

Hi,
I understand that on the left you are seeing the fields you have in your datasource and on the right side, the infoobjects you have in your infoprovider. They don't have to be identical. If you want them to be the same means that you want to upload all the fields you have in your datasource. Then you have to add the corresponding infoobjects to your infoprovider.
If you are refering that your datasource is different than the one you see in the transformation, it could be that you haven't replicated it correctly. Select the source system and replicate it again.
Hope it helps,
Regards.

Fields missing from webservice datasource in SSRS

We are using a XML webservice as a datasource for SSRS. The webservice is returning the hierarchy of departments of our company.
The data is consumed by SSRS but some fields are missing.
This is (simplified) what is returned by the webservice:
<department>
<nr>1</nr>
<name>name1/name>
</department>
<department>
<nr>2</nr>
<name>name2/name>
<parentdepartment>1</parentdepartment>
</department>
etc
The field parentdepartment is missing from the fieldlist, even if I add it by hand it will be empty.
At this forum I found that fields are even skipped when the first item has an empty value for a certain field so the absence of a field in the first item must certainly be the
problem. Nr 1 has no parentdepartment field.
Is there a way around this like skipping the first department, we don't need it, or forcing the SSRS-datasource to add the parentdepartment field.
As it is used by many applications we prefer not to change the webservice to skip the first or add dummy values to the first item.

Typically if the field doesn't show up the CR can't figure out what type it is which means when we query the DB for the field type the client/server returns the wrong type or some type that CR doesn't support.
How is the field defined on the server?
Thank you
Don

               destroySessionCommand.setSession(sessionId);

                    destroySessionCommand.execute();
               } catch (CommandException e) {
                    e.printStackTrace();

               System.out.println(e.getLocalizedMessage());
               e.printStackTrace();
Kindly let me know where i am going wrong. MaterialNumber field is a TEXT not a lookup table field. Above fields are from the main table.
Thanks,

Hi Friends,
I got the solution. It was the error because of not having a the below statement.
limitingCommand.setPageSize(1);
As i havent used that statement, it was trying to get 1000 records, and i dont know exactly what makes this to get that error. Anyhow., As i want to use for updation, i cn live with one record.
Thanks,
Raags

Copy data from mysql to oracle database help?

Im an sql newb and trying to understand how I can automatically copy data from one dtabase to another systems database on the same server.
We have two differnt applications, but both share customer information, but one is on a win server, while the other is on oracle.
Each time a customer contacts us via online chat (win server, mysql), we want to copy their entire chat transcript into our CRM's (oracle) customer account. So the folks that use the CRM can see the past chat histories. I hope this makes sense.
Where can i look to get started on this?
Thanks

You could look at Heterogeneous Services (see the forum here Heterogeneous Connectivity but if you want to push data from mysql to oracle you might be better looking at it from the mssql side. I don't know what they offer.
It might be simpler to do it at the client end. ie cut and paste from the online chat application into a new utility which inserts into the oracle database.
Incidentally, this forum is specifically for the SQLDeveloper tool. You might get more general help in the "database - general" or "sql and pl/sql" forums

Field selection from differant tables

hello all,
         i need to select differant fields from differant tables when i select common fields from both the tables, is it necessary that the common field need to be a primary key in both tables.
thanks in advance
seenu

HI,
    No its not required that the common field be part of the primary key in both tables only thing is you need to prefix the table name if the field names are same. But if you are using a INNER JOIN then there is no need to select both fields since you know the content of both fields will be same if JOIN is ON these fileds as well.

Sesh
