Grouping Table Problem

Using CF8. I'm creating a report using cfdocument what will export as a PDF. I want the report to look like the following:
Vendors Within the City
   comm_cd sub-heading
     vendor name
address
loc_code
     vendor name
address
loc_code
   comm_cd sub-heading
     vendor name
address
loc_code
   comm_cd sub-heading
     vendor name
address
loc_code
Vendors Outside the City
   comm_cd sub-heading
     vendor name
address
loc_code
     vendor name
address
loc_code
The loc_code is what determines which grouping the record will be in. Here is the code I'm working with so far without the second heading...not sure where to put it.
My query that is being called from the switch
<cfquery dbtype="query" name="getVendor">
     SELECT DISTINCT
     comm_cd,
     comm_desc,
     vend10,
     mbe,
     gender,
     ethnic,
     lgl_nm,
     street_address,
     city,
     state,
     zip,
     loc_code,
     phone,
     fax
     FROM
          variables.savedlist
     ORDER BY
     comm_cd,
     lgl_nm
</cfquery>
<cfscript>
   variables.location = 0;
</cfscript>
<cfif listFind('LO,AU,SL',getvendor.loc_code)>

    What am I doing wrong? I know I need a <cfelse> in there along with the heading 'Vendors Outside the City'. But no matter where I put it nothing seems to work correctly.
     Thanks

Hi,
in that case you can group them using Sort table parameter. you can build the sort table based on month, and the data will be grouped based on month. this is another possibility.
sort-fieldname = 'MONTH'.
sort-up = 'X'.
append sort to it_sort.
pass this IT_sort to alv grid FM.

Group by problem at pivot table

Hi,
firstly i am making a table, everything is ok,
after i click pivot table, st_desc column writes same value again, i couldnt understand the reason.
please check my screen shots below,

kindly advise please

that my fault
there is a null at the beginning of the value, they are different,

Mobility Group Table *MUST* be populated in each WLC in same mobility group

For what it's worth,
I recently discovered that when you have multiple controllers and want to implement Mobility Groups, more is needed than simply entering the same Default Mobility Group Name for each controller within the mobility group. The following is required:
a) The IP address of the "Virtual" interface on each controller must be identical on each controller within the mobility group.
b) The Default Mobility Group Name must be identical on each controller within the mobility group (case sensitive).
c) The mobility table must be populated with an entry for each controller within the mobility group.
Otherwise, you will see some inexplicable behavior such as:
* LWAP access points refusing to change to a different controller, even if their primary controller is explicitly set and the LWAP is rebooted.
* LWAP access points unable to find any other wireless controller other than the one pointed to by the "CISCO-LWAPP-CONTROLLER" DNS entry (presumably, this would also be the case if DHCP Option 43 is used to point the LWAP to a controller). Once the first controller reaches its max. capacity of LWAPs, no more LWAPs can join.
* Even MASTER CONTROLLER MODE has no effect.
Cisco TAC was able to explain the great mystery of the Mobilty Group Table to me. However, unless you know your problem is related to mobility groups issues, you might not know to start there (I know I didn't).
The least difficult method I have found for populating the mobility group table is as follows:
Build a text file with one entry for each controller in the mobility group as follows:
Log into the GUI for each controller and selecting: Controller -> Mobility Management -> Mobility Groups, click the "EDIT ALL" button and copy the MAC and IP address from the text box into a text file using NOTEPAD. Repeat this for each controller, creating a new line for each:
The format for the entries is as follows:
00:1a:6c:91:22:A0 192.168.20.44
00:1a:6c:91:22:B4 192.168.20.45
Once the text file is completed (one entry for each controller in the mobilit group), click the EDITALL button and copy the entire contents of the text file and paste it into the text box on the controller GUI, click the APPLY button and click Save Changes. Repeat for each controller.
Again, make sure that the following settings are IDENTICAL in each of the controllers in the Mobility Group:
* The IP address of the "virtual" interface ( Controller -> interfaces ) must be the same on all controllers.
* The "Default Mobility Domain Name" ( Controller -> General ) must be identical on each controller in the mobility group (note: the Mobility Domain Name is case sensitive).
After making changes directly to the controllers, a "refresh from controller" in the WCS might be needed to get the WCS to attempt to synchronize itself with the controllers.
Here is a link to the 4.2 Wireless Controller Configuration Guide which discusses this in greater detail.
http://www.cisco.com/en/US/products/ps6366/products_configuration_guide_chapter09186a00808e638b.html
It is unfortunate that there are currently no mechanisms in the WCS 4.2 to make these changes in bulk (i.e.: The WCS has no Controller Template to do this).
Also, if you ever need to replace a controller, you will need to update the Mobility Group Table in each controller in the Mobility Group (since the tables will have the MAC address of the old controller which will now be different in the new replacement controller).
Despite having used the "unified" product for some time now, there are still surprises from time to time. I just thought that I would share my experience for those who may want avoid it and/or who may be encountering any of odd the behavior described above.

Hi John,
Nice work with this very relevant info! Please post a short reply here so that we can give this the nice rating it deserves :)

Grouping Table Columns

Hi All,
In my webdynpro application we need to "Group Table Column". I am using NWDS 2.0.9. The "Insert Group COlumn" feature is not there in NWDS 2.0.9. If so how ca i group my table columns. Can anyone provide me a solution for this.
Regards,
Divya

Hi Divya,
I have done this in my application too.
I have used two tables,
The things you need to do is,
1. Create a scroll container
2. Create 1st table,
3. assign the columns coming under its header.
4. create the 2nd table,
5. assign the rest of the columns under that header.
6. Table properties to be set
7. Now make footer visible false for both the table.
8. visible no of rows = -1
9. assigning same context or model node to both the tables will make it as one table itself, and selecting row in one table will also select same row in other table.
10.Dont keep wrapping as true in any table cell editor, because if there occurs any wrapping in one table, the alignment of rows will be disturbed for both.
11.And using scroll container instead of footer will not create the scrolling event of footer in the application.
This will solve your problem.

How to maintain TEXT ID GROUP (table TTXERN)

Dear SAP,
I am having a problem on how to maintain TEXT ID GROUP (table TTXERN). Where is it configured and why after upgraded to ECC6, this table doesn't cover all data availbale in table TTXER?
Your expert advice is realy much appreciated. will give points for those who help me out this problem.
TQ
Regards,
Nazrul

You need to run the program SDTXT1AID, it will list all entries present in TTXER but missing in TTXERN.
It is very common to come across this issue during SAP upgrade.
You can refer to the std documentation of the program &/or Google it to find further details

Mutating table problem help required

Hi. I am rather hoping someone will be able to help me with this problem.
I have two tables, sa and mv. Create script below:
create table mv (
moduleId Char(2) CONSTRAINT ck_moduleId CHECK(moduleId in ('M1', 'M2', 'M3', 'M4', 'M5', 'M6', 'M7', 'M8')),
credits Number(2) CONSTRAINT ck_credits CHECK(credits in (10, 20, 40)),
constraint pk_mv primary key(moduleId)
create table sa (
stuId Char(2) CONSTRAINT ck_stuId CHECK(stuId in ('S1', 'S2', 'S3', 'S4', 'S5')),
moduleId Char(2),
constraint pk_sa primary key(stuId, moduleId),
constraint fk_moduleid foreign key(moduleId) references mv(moduleId)
And the scripts below is to insert data into both:
insert into mv VALUES('M1', 20)
insert into mv VALUES('M2', 20)
insert into mv VALUES('M3', 20)
insert into mv VALUES('M4', 20)
insert into mv VALUES('M5', 40)
insert into mv VALUES('M6', 10)
insert into mv VALUES('M7', 10)
insert into mv VALUES('M8', 20)
insert into sa VALUES('S1', 'M1')
insert into sa VALUES('S1', 'M2')
insert into sa VALUES('S1', 'M3')
insert into sa VALUES('S2', 'M2')
insert into sa VALUES('S2', 'M4')
insert into sa VALUES('S2', 'M5')
insert into sa VALUES('S3', 'M1')
insert into sa VALUES('S3', 'M6')
Now for the actual problems.
Firstly I need to try and overcome the mutating table problem by ensure that stuid = S1 in table sa can not take both moduleId M5 and M6.
Just one or the other. I have created a single trigger, but if fails because of the mutating table problem.
The second problem I need to overcome is that none of the stuids can have moduleIds where total credit value of more than 120 credits. Credit value is stored in the mv table.
Many thanks in advance for any assistance.

Use a statement level trigger:

Grouped tables not grouping

I don't know if it's a coincidence or not, but recently I installed the iPhone SDK 3.0 beta 2, and I can't seem to create grouped tables anymore. It's a bit strange, and I keep looking for a possible code error, but I don't see one. I'm building for 2.2.1, so I'm not even trying to use any of the newer libs.
It's a really simple static table, two sections, one row in the first, one row in the second. Title on each section. Each of the rows ends up in the right section, the UITableView just isn't using the grouped table style. It's set in the nib file in IB, and if I open up the nib in a text editor the setting looks correct. Has anybody else experienced any kind of issue like this?
Other grouped tables that I created pre-upgrade to 3.0 beta 2 are still working just fine, I just can't seem to create any new nibs that work.
This is all testing in the simulator, btw.

Are you overriding the methods that declare the number of rows and sections in your view controller class as shown below?
- (NSInteger) numberOfSectionsInTableView: (UITableView *) tv {
return 2;
- (NSInteger) tableView: (UITableView *) tv numberOfRowsInSection: (NSInteger) section {
return 1;
If you have already done this, you could try re-creating the xib file to see if it helps.
And finally, you may want to install beta 3 to see if you are still having this problem.
Good luck!

Autonomous Trigger / Mutating Table Problem

We have a specific problem in one of our applications being developed where by the database needs to enforce a specific business requirement.
We need to use a database trigger to enforce some data integrity which involves more than one table as such cannot use standard constraint. The integrity has to be maintained in the database as the DML statements may be coming from a Java application or PL/SQL code as such we need the logic all in one place.
The problem being that within the trigger we need to examine the state of the table the trigger is associated with as well as one other table. Obviously using a trigger on a table that is being affected by DML statements causes the dreaded mutating table problem.
One suggested solution to this was to make the trigger or the code the trigger called autonomous. This allows the trigger to execute by only showing the trigger the original state of the table before any of the DML statements have affected it.
The problem is this seems to work for single row DML statements but not for multi row DML statements. In multi row the trigger only sees the original state of the table, not the state of the table plus the changes made by any other actions in the same DML statement.
Below I have shown an example of what I'm seeing.
I have grossly simplified the example code below to only refer to a single table and use stupidly simple logic
I do realise i appear to be implementing uniqueness in my own PL/SQL code, this is purely for the example.
CREATE TABLE mutate_test
id INTEGER NOT NULL,
value VARCHAR2(255) NOT NULL
ALTER TABLE mutate_test ADD CONSTRAINT pk_mutate_test PRIMARY KEY(id);
ALTER TABLE mutate_test ADD CONSTRAINT ck_mutate_test CHECK (value = UPPER(value));
CREATE OR REPLACE FUNCTION duplicate_found(in_value IN mutate_test.value%TYPE) RETURN BOOLEAN IS
PRAGMA AUTONOMOUS_TRANSACTION;
v_value_found INTEGER;
BEGIN
SELECT COUNT(*)
INTO v_value_found
FROM mutate_test
WHERE value = in_value;
IF v_value_found > 0 THEN
RETURN TRUE;
ELSE
RETURN FALSE;
END IF;
END;
CREATE OR REPLACE TRIGGER tr_mutate_test BEFORE INSERT OR UPDATE ON mutate_test
FOR EACH ROW
BEGIN
IF duplicate_found(:new.value) = TRUE THEN
RAISE_APPLICATION_ERROR(-20000,'Duplicate value found');
END IF;
END;
INSERT INTO mutate_test (id,value) VALUES (1,'CLIFF');
INSERT INTO mutate_test (id,value) VALUES (2,'SULA');
COMMIT;
SELECT * FROM mutate_test;
-- Should fail as row 1 already has a value of CLIFF
INSERT INTO mutate_test (id,value) VALUES (3,'CLIFF');
COMMIT;
SELECT * FROM mutate_test;
-- Should fail as row 1 is already set to CLIFF
UPDATE mutate_test SET value = 'CLIFF' WHERE id = 2;
COMMIT;
SELECT * FROM mutate_test;
UPDATE mutate_test SET value = 'CLIFFORD' WHERE id = 1;
COMMIT;
SELECT * FROM mutate_test;
INSERT INTO mutate_test (id,value) VALUES (3,'RONNY');
INSERT INTO mutate_test (id,value) VALUES (4,'TIM');
INSERT INTO mutate_test (id,value) VALUES (5,'MONIQUE');
COMMIT;
SELECT * FROM mutate_test;
-- Wanted result would be row 1 would be updated from CLIFFORD to CLIFF
-- and the others raise errors, or all of them raise errors.
UPDATE mutate_test SET value = 'CLIFF' WHERE id IN (1,3,4);
COMMIT;
SELECT * FROM mutate_test;

This is all from a University application that deals with eLearning.
Shell = Mapping from the system to an external eLearning application, ie: unique id of the Blackboard course shell, or WebBoard board.
Term = Academic term
Sector = University sector, ie: Higher Education, TAFE, etc..
Resource = eLearning tool, ie: Blackboard, WebBoard, etc..
Resource Level = Whether the resource is being offered at a Course or Program level
Resource Mapping = Association of a resource to shell
What we are trying to achieve is that shells cannot be used across sector boundaries.
The real table structure is (grossly simplified again)
CREATE TABLE sector (sector_pk INTEGER PRIMARY KEY);
CREATE TABLE sector_pattern (sector_pk INTEGER REFERENCES sector(sector_pk), pattern CHAR(2) NOT NULL UNIQUE CHECK (pattern = UPPER(pattern)));
CREATE TABLE term (term_pk INTEGER PRIMARY KEY, term CHAR(4) NOT NULL UNIQUE CHECK (term = UPPER(term)));
CREATE TABLE resource_level (resource_level_pk INTEGER PRIMARY KEY, term_pk INTEGER REFERENCES term(term_pk));
CREATE TABLE shell_detail (shell_detail_pk INTEGER PRIMARY KEY);
CREATE TABLE resource_mapping (resource_mapping INTEGER PRIMARY KEY, resource_level_pk INTEGER REFERENCES resource_level(resource_level_pk), shell_detail_pk INTEGER REFERENCES shell_detail(shell_detail_pk));
Based on the Ask Tom article linked I'd liked to use a MATERIALIZED VIEW on the following query
SELECT DISTINCT rm.shell_detail_pk,sp.sector_pk
FROM resource_mapping rm, resource_level rl, term t, sector_pattern sp
WHERE rm.resource_level_pk = rl.resource_level_pk
AND rl.term_pk = t.term_pk
AND SUBSTR(t.term,3,2) = sp.pattern;
Then apply a UNIQUE constraint on that VIEW.
But I'm receiving a
SQL Error: ORA-12054: cannot set the ON COMMIT refresh attribute for the materialized view
I'm not sure how to create the MATERIALIZED VIEW LOG entries for the above VIEW.
Any ideas anyone? ;)
Need to do some more reading and research but as Tom says
"I'm asking around about the future of "SQL" as far as enhancments go like that
(will update when I get some feedback), but -- you are not limited to triggers
(in fact, I would avoid triggers as it is virtually IMPOSSIBLE to implement
cross row/cross object constraints with them!!!! at least correctly)"
So I think i'll give up on the TRIGGER approach as it doesn't meet our requirements.

Possible new feature for SQL Data modeler: grouping tables by subfolder/

When creating models of more than 500 tables. it would be nice if there was a way to be able group sets of tables into subfolders.
while I might have a centralized schema, meaning the physical schema inside a database can have all 500 tables.
for example:
I might choose to group tables by product.
HR folder contains all my HR_<tables>
OrderEntry folder contains all my OE_<tables>
Inventory folder conatins all my INV_<tables>
this will help to view in the explorer window when searching for a table.

I might choose to group tables by product.
HR folder contains all my HR_<tables>
OrderEntry folder contains all my OE_<tables>
Inventory folder conatins all my INV_<tables>You can use subviews for that. Subview can be created in different ways:
- drag&drop from browser
- using selected objects on diagram
- context menu for table in browser
- context menu for subview in browser - you can create similar subview and use it as starting point
- context menu for schema object in relational model - such subview becomes schema bound - you can update it later with tables added/removed to/from that svchema

Aggregate query on global cache group table

Hi,
I set up two global cache nodes. As we know, global cache group is dynamic.
The cache group can be dynamically loaded by primary key or foreign key as my understanding.
There are three records in oracle cache table, and one record is loaded in node A, and the other two records in node B.
Oracle:
1 Java
2 C
3 Python
Node A:
1 Java
Node B:
2 C
3 Python
If I select count(*) in Node A or Node B, the result respectively is 1 and 2.
The questions are:
how I can get the real count 3?
Is it reasonable to do this query on global cache group table?
I have one idea that create another read-only node for aggregation query, but it seems weird.
Thanks very much.
Regards,
Nesta

Do you mean something like
UPDATE sometable SET somecol = somevalue;
where you are updating all rows (or where you may use a WHERE clause that matches many rows and is not an equality)?
This is not something you can do in one step with a GLOBAL DYNAMIC cache group. If the number of rows that would be affected is small and you know the keys or every row that must be updated then you could simply execute multiple individual updates. If the number of rows is large or you do not know all the ketys in advance then maybe you would adopt the approach of ensuring that all relevant rows are in the local cache grid node already via LOAD CACHE GROUP ... WHERE ... Alternatively, if you do not need Grid functionality you could consider using a single cache with a non-dynamic (explicitly loaded) cache group and just pre-load all the data.
I would not try and use JTA to update rows in multiple grid nodes in one transaction; it will be slow and you would have to know which rows are located in which nodes...

SQL recursion problem in custom groups table

hi all,
Consider the following seemingly simple table structure ( with sample rows ) :
PERMISSION_ID P_ID DESCRIPTION DESIGNATION
============= ==== =========== =======
1776 Null Z-ENGINEERING 88888
1860 Null Z-LABORATORY 88888
1909 Null Z-RESEARCH 88888
1902 Null Z-PLANT 88888
1905 Null Z-SOFTWARE DESIGN 88888
1903 Null Z-BLANKET 88888
1904 Null Z-OFFICE 88888
40000 1909 James Gosling 67890

40006 1776 Brian Kernighan 84251
40007 1904 Z-ENGINEERING 88888
Explanation of table structure :
(1) All rows with P_ID = {Null} are the root groups, and they all have a uniform DESIGNATION of 88888.
(2) All rows that starts with 40000 are memberships; under these memberships scheme, a root group can become a member of another root group, cascaded, which means that root groups can be members of another root group or they can be members of multiple root groups ( and cascaded even ), as long as the cascade do not end up in a circular reference, or an endless cycle. The idea here is so that the memberships for both groups and human members can be chained.
(3) Both root groups and human memberships are stored in the same table above, using rules (1) & (2) as the logic.
(4) No additional table may be added to this table in order to implement rules (1), (2), & (3); columns may be added, though.
(5) Use only plain SQL statements ( SELECT, CONNECT BY, PRIOR, NOCYCLES, etc ... ); PL/SQL, functions, and procedures are strongly discouraged.
Desired output of the query is as follows :
The SELECT query should return a list of all human members which belongs to a specific root group. Using the example table above, the initial query should have the following intended result set:
(start with p_id = 1909) -- 1909 is root group Z-RESEARCH
PERMISSION MEMBERS
========== =======
40000 James Gosling
40001 Edgar Codd
40003 Z-SOFTWARE DESIGN
40005 Z-OFFICE
However, Z-SOFTWARE DESIGN has it's own member , Dennis Ritchie, so the updated result set should be :
PERMISSION MEMBERS
========== =======
40000 James Gosling
40001 Edgar Codd
40004 Dennis Ritche
40005 Z-OFFICE
Same is true for Z-OFFICE, but it's member is another root group, Z-ENGINEERING, whose member is Brian Kernighan, thus the final result set list would be as follows, which is the final intended list :
PERMISSION MEMBERS
========== =======
40000 James Gosling
40001 Edgar Codd
40004 Dennis Ritche
40002 Alan Turing
40006 Brian Kernighan
The problem now would be, how to generate the final intended list using the table scheme illustrated above, with no additional tables, but possible additional columns, using Oracle's SELECT ... START WITH ... CONNECT BY PRIOR ?
Any theoretical advice is greatly appreciated; even our consulting firm cannot solve this problem. Coming here to the Oracle Forums itself is a last resort. Perhaps someone here can take a gander at this seemingly simple problem. Fact is, solving this problem has lots of applications, one of which is the ability to mimic Outlook's nested distribution groups list.
Thank you so much for your time.

Ok, first time back at a database, here my 2 cent.
I use the with-clause to simulate your sample-data, i have also added the master-reference-column i suggested. Just restrict the result to the group you want to. (i only put the id's in the query)

Group by problem from huge table

Hi,
I have a huge cdr table which contains 700 million records. There s no partition only , index on gsm_no column. (main_cdr_table)
And i have another table with the following columns . gsm_no , cdr_count , last_digit. (gsm_temp)
What i want to do is , to get a sum from main_cdr_table for each gsm_no and store it another table , like this.
insert into my_temp
select gsm_no,sum(price_amount)
from main_cdr_table
group by gsm_no
As you see this way is not efficient. What can you offer to perform this operation?
Thanks...

Alas I'm a rather underprivileged user . (some thirteenth pig we use to say)
Nevertheless I could try to find out something useful (reporting to investigate big table compression(s) should look serious enough in these vacation times )
As far as I can remember, maybe a year ago, I was investigating various table compressions but using only a 3M rows table collecting 100% sample statistics to check the results.
There was quite a difference when comparing the number of blocks, but a rather small one when comparing select timings. A 3M rows table seems too small for the task.
A 92M table might reveal new facts.
At the moment I know collecting 100% sample statistics took 4.5 hours.
Regarding automagical things I cannot check how things get done (I can only read in the documentation about that), the storage is definitely data aware (usually you don't need an index for each and every low cardinality - storage full scan seems to be smart enough to almost always get just the blocks where the required rows are located)
I'll let you know about the findings.

Sorry, no further findings possible for now - ORA-01625: unable to extend temp segment by 8192 in tablespace ...

Update Nested Table Problem

Hi All,
I have a update problem in nested table.
Below is my query:
CREATE OR REPLACE TYPE TRACER.SEARCH_DATA AS TABLE OF VARCHAR2(20);
UPDATE TRACER_SEARCH_SCHEDULE_LOT_NUM
SET NOT_FOUND_SOR_LOT_NUM = SEARCH_DATA(
SELECT
COLUMN_VALUE
FROM
TABLE (SELECT SORTING_LOT_NUMBER FROM TRACER_SEARCH_SCHEDULE_LOT_NUM WHERE JOB_ID = 8)
WHERE
TRIM(COLUMN_VALUE) NOT IN (SELECT DISTINCT (SORTING_LOT_NUMBER) FROM SEARCH_SCHEDULE_RESULT_LOT_NUM WHERE JOB_ID = 8)
) WHERE JOB_ID = 8;
ORA-00936: missing expression
or I try as following
DECLARE
sor_lot_num_not_found SEARCH_DATA :=
SEARCH_DATA
SELECT
FROM
TABLE (SELECT SORTING_LOT_NUMBER FROM TRACER_SEARCH_SCHEDULE_LOT_NUM WHERE JOB_ID = 8)
WHERE
TRIM(COLUMN_VALUE) NOT IN (SELECT DISTINCT (SORTING_LOT_NUMBER) FROM SEARCH_SCHEDULE_RESULT_LOT_NUM WHERE JOB_ID = 8)
BEGIN
UPDATE TRACER_SEARCH_SCHEDULE_LOT_NUM SET NOT_FOUND_SOR_LOT_NUM = sor_lot_num_not_found WHERE JOB_ID = 8;
END;

I have try on the Select Statement, it work. So is it the way that I assign data from nested table and update method is wrong?

Hi,
I think MULTISET operators might interest you.
http://download.oracle.com/docs/cd/B19306_01/server.102/b14200/operators006.htm
Not tested :
UPDATE tracer_search_schedule_lot_num
SET not_found_sor_lot_num =
      sorting_lot_number
      MULTISET EXCEPT ALL
      CAST(
        MULTISET(
          SELECT distinct sorting_lot_number
          FROM search_schedule_result_lot_num
          WHERE job_id = 8
        AS search_data
WHERE job_id = 8
;
