SSIS and timestamp comparison for selection

Hi all.
I have a situation I do not understand how to fix.
I have two tables - one to store settings and another one the store some data.
My SQL Server is of 2008 R2 version.
My Visual Studio is of 2008 version (I tried to work in VS 2013 with SSDT of the latest version installed - all the same).
The data table has a column of timestamp data type.
I'm using the timestamp column as determinator and I put max value of the timestamp column in the settings table after my process completes.
Then I need to get that stored value and select from the data table only records which timestamp value is bigger than one stored in the settings table.
What do I do to reproduce the situation.
I created SSIS package.
I added new variable of string data type, called it "LastTS".
Then added new "Execute SQL Task", entered "SELECT CONVERT(VARCHAR(18), LastTimestamp) FROM Parameters", mapped result set to User::LastTS variable.
Then I added new "Data Flow Task".
In that task I added "OLE DB Source" and entered "SELECT c.ProtocolType, c.[Timestamp] AS StatusChangeTime FROM Command AS c WHERE c.[RowVersion] > cast(? as binary(8))" and mapped its resultset for next processing.
Everything is ok.
Now I start my package.
My LastTS variable gets its right value.
But my "OLE DB Source" fails with message as follows:
[OLE DB Source [1]] Error: SSIS Error Code DTS_E_OLEDBERROR. An OLE DB error has occurred. Error code: 0x80040E21.
An OLE DB record is available. Source: "Microsoft SQL Server Native Client 10.0" Hresult: 0x80040E21 Description: "Invalid character value for cast specification".
What is the problem?
I found a lot of answers like "you can use string variable to work with timestamp data" but nothing helped.
What should I do to resolve my problem?

IT worked fine for me. Here's a complete package:

Only 'EQ' and 'I' allowed for selection parameters

Hi!
We are generating the list of POs with open GR thru ME2M with selection parameters of WE101 and WE107, however, we encountered an error which states "Only 'EQ' and 'I' allowed for selection parameters."
What shall we do?

Hi,
This error will have nothing to do with the selection parameter setting but the variant you are defining for your ME2M transaction. Can you therefore provide detailed info on how you set it up in your system?
Cheers,
HT

How to have more months and years appear for selection in the archives for blog posts?

Hello,
How to have more months and years appear for selection in the archives for blog posts? It just shows past 3 months in the year 2014, but we have many blog posts in years 2013, 2012 and 2011 and further back. I am using the OOB SharePoint blog
feature.

Hi,
Thanks for the reply; it doesn't add anything as RSA6 was one of the options I listed and this was my fall back option if there was no other special treatment for the COPA datasources.
I have found out why this, and other fields, are not available in KEB0. The program uses a Function called KERA_COPA_METADATA_INTERFACE within which there is a section that selects the COPA fields:
***** 1. RULES (choice/class)
* set rules for fixed fields
PERFORM COPA_SET_RULES_FIXED_FIELDS USING I_ACCTCOST
                                      CHANGING E_T_RULES[].
When you look at this code section there is a hard coded list of fields to exclude:
MRULE 'MANDT     ' NEVER FORGET_IT NEVER FORGET_IT.
MRULE 'PAOBJNR   ' NEVER FORGET_IT NEVER FORGET_IT.
MRULE 'PASUBNR   ' NEVER FORGET_IT NEVER FORGET_IT.
MRULE 'PAPAOBJNR ' NEVER FORGET_IT NEVER FORGET_IT.
MRULE 'PAPASUBNR ' NEVER FORGET_IT NEVER FORGET_IT.
MRULE 'HRKFT     ' NEVER FORGET_IT NEVER FORGET_IT.
MRULE 'HZDAT     ' NEVER FORGET_IT NEVER FORGET_IT.
MRULE 'USNAM     ' NEVER FORGET_IT NEVER FORGET_IT.
MRULE 'RKESTATU ' NEVER FORGET_IT NEVER FORGET_IT.
MRULE 'TIMESTMP ' NEVER FORGET_IT NEVER FORGET_IT.
MRULE 'PERDE     ' NEVER FORGET_IT NEVER FORGET_IT.
MRULE 'PERIO     ' OBLIGATORY CHAR_CE3 OBLIGATORY CHAR_CE3.
MRULE 'COPA_AWTYP' NEVER FORGET_IT NEVER FORGET_IT.
MRULE 'COPA_AWORG' NEVER FORGET_IT NEVER FORGET_IT.
As this is a standard delivered SAP function I do not recommend that you change this code as you will invalid your SAP support and upgrade paths.

How to incorporate File name and timestamp automatically into select and save file dialog box?

Hello,
i am trying to incorporate the file name which is inputed by the user along with the timestamp into the selected and save file dialog box. Can you help?
Thanks
Solved!
Go to Solution.

You can pass a default file name to the 'File Dialog' Express VI.
Use the 'selected path' output to open the file.
Now is the right time to use %^<%Y-%m-%dT%H:%M:%S%3uZ>T
If you don't hate time zones, you're not a real programmer.

Can I have a LOV for display and a LOV for select values in a form ?

My LOV are in table :
lov_return, lov_display, lov_available
To avoid a loss in translating lov_return in lov_display values, I manage a flag, lov_available, Y/N to filter out obsoleted values.
By example, at the beginning of using the application, I have :
LOV_RETURN
LOV_DISPLAY
LOV_AVAILABLE
1
TOP
Y
2
CENTER
Y
3
BOTTOM
Y
And I have records with 1, 2 or 3 in the field corresponding with the LOV.
So far, so good.
Then I want to have a slightly different set of values in my LOV, for new records :
LOV_RETURN
LOV_DISPLAY
LOV_AVAILABLE
1
TOP
Y
2
CENTER
N
3
BOTTOM
Y
4
CENTER-TOP
Y
5
CENTER-BOTTOM
Y
So, when I edit an old record in my form, I want the 2 to be well deciphered into CENTER, and in the SELECT list, I want TOP,BOTTON,CENTER-TOP,CENTER-BOTTOM.
When I assign the dynamic LOV : select lov_display d,lov_return r from lov_table where lov_available = 'Y', to the corresponding field in my FORM, even allowing extra values will not help and will display '2' instead of 'CENTER'.
Is there a way I can manage to show the translated 'CENTER' in the field, and offer a list of values taking in account the 'availability' of the value, other than including the PX_FIELD test in my SQL for the dynamic LOV ?

A common logical problem I encountered back the days of Oracle Forms.
A solution I often see is displaying invalid options with an asterisk, and applying validation to ensure users don't change to invalid selection.
No doubt there are some clever ways to tart this up with jQuery, also.

Quick and easy question for selection structures

i'm new to java since I started an online course at school, and I was wondering if there was an 'and' conjuctive? i want to have a selection condition where two criteria must be met as opposed to using || where either one triggers a statement.
the assigment is about using client programs. i want a dog to interect a certain way when it is aggressive AND hungry
ex:
if (dog1.getAgression () > 5 'AND' dog1.getHunger () > 5)
// dog is hungry and territorial
System.out.pritnln (dog1.getName + ": ");
dog1.barkAngry
}

Variable displaying incorrect data for selection in template

Hello Friends,
We have an InfoObject 0CALMONTH. On this InfoObject we have created a variable PERIOD (Z_INTER). This InfoObject and variable is used in two queries (A & B). In BEx the variable is working fine for both the queries, that means the variable shows the correct period (04/2005 to 01/2007). This data exists in our dataprovider.
Now in a web template, I pull a chart and associate query A as the dataprovider and the variable works fine. It also does so if I associate query B as the dataprovider. The problem starts when I pull two charts, simultaneously in the template, and associate one with query A and other with query B. This time the variable acts funny and shows and incorrect period for selection (03/1995 to 03/2005). We do not have any data for the year 1995 to 2004 in the dataprovider.
So you see individually the queries (and variable) run fine but as soon as I ask them to co-exist in the same template, I get aberrations. We are not sure from where this previous years data is being pulled.
Please assist. Thanks!
Regards,
Prem.

Hi,
I feel 1995 year data should be available in any one of the cube. Check the complete data in the cube directly with 'manage' tab or 'listcube' transaction code.
And one more idea in my mind is, remove the variables from the queries and use 'filter' option in WAD for filtering the caleder month.
Try this also: Use only one variable for both reports. I mean to say, remove variable in one report. Check whether both reports also running fine.
Once you try this, let me know the status. According that we will try more things.

I am having problems with the Preview application. When I try to use it to open a pdf document it gets hung-up and I have to select force quit to close it. Any ideas on how to resolve this problem? Thanks for any help

Can you open the Preview program without loading a file, like by itself?
If it doesn't load then I suspect a corrupt Preview preference file.
Deleting the System Preference or other .plist file
Can you open other files with Preview, like jpg's and images?
How about other PDFs? or is it just that one you have downloaded?

Keeps asking for Select a certificate or enter a name and password for network

everytime i start my mac it asks for "Select a certificate or enter a name and password for network" and when i'll close it and reopen it, it still asks.
can somebody help with what am i suppose to do?

If you are currently showing WiFi status in the menu bar, you would see this icon:
If you see that near the top right corner, click it and choose "Join other network" from the drop down list.
If you do not see that icon, then go to System Preferences (under the Apple logo in the menu bar), ciick "Network", then choose "WiFi" and choose something (probably "Assist me" at the bottom) there.

C# compiling error: 'System.Array' does not contain a definition for 'Select' and no extension method 'Select' accepting a first argument of type 'System.Array' could be found (are you missing a using directive or an assembly reference?)

Hello experts,
I'm totally new to C#. I'm trying to modify existing code to automatically rename a file if exists. I found a solution online as follows:
string[] allFiles = Directory.GetFiles(folderPath).Select(filename => Path.GetFileNameWithoutExtension(filename)).ToArray();
string tempFileName = fileName;
int count = 1;
while (allFiles.Contains(tempFileName ))
tempFileName = String.Format("{0} ({1})", fileName, count++);
output = Path.Combine(folderPath, tempFileName );
string fullPath=output + ".xml";
However, it gives the following compilation errors
for the Select and Contain methods respectively.:
'System.Array' does not contain a definition for 'Select' and no extension method 'Select' accepting a first argument of type 'System.Array' could be found
(are you missing a using directive or an assembly reference?)
'System.Array' does not contain a definition for 'Contains' and no extension method 'Contains' accepting a first argument of type 'System.Array' could be
found (are you missing a using directive or an assembly reference?)
I googled on these errors, and people suggested to add using System.Linq;
I did, but the errors persist.
Any help and information is greatly appreciated.
P. S. Here are the using clauses I have:
using System;
using System.Data;
using System.Windows.Forms;
using System.IO;
using System.Collections.Generic;
using System.Text;
using System.Linq;

Besides your issue with System.Core, you also have a problem with the logic of our code, particularly your variables. It is confusing what your variables represent. You have an infinite loop, so the last section of code is never reached. Take a look
using System;
using System.Collections.Generic;
using System.Linq;
using System.Text;
using System.Threading.Tasks;
using System.IO;
namespace consAppFileManipulation
class Program
static void Main(string[] args)
string fullPath = @"c:\temp\trace.log";
string folderPath = @"c:\temp\";
string fileName = "trace.log";
string output = "";
string fileNameOnly = Path.GetFileNameWithoutExtension(fullPath);
string extension = Path.GetExtension(fullPath);
string path = Path.GetDirectoryName(fullPath);
string newFullPath = fullPath;
string[] allFiles = Directory.GetFiles(folderPath).Select(filename => Path.GetFileNameWithoutExtension(filename)).ToArray();
string tempFileName = fileName;
int count = 1;
//THIS IS AN INFINITE LOOP
while (allFiles.Contains(fileNameOnly))
tempFileName = String.Format("{0} ({1})", fileName, count++);
//THIS CODE IS NEVER REACHED
output = Path.Combine(folderPath, tempFileName);
fullPath = output + ".xml";
//string fullPath = output + ".xml";
UML, then code

How to use the selection profile and status profile for production order?

Hi expert,
I want to know how to use the selection profile and status profile for production order. what's the usage for these two selection profile and status profile ?
Please help me.
thanks in advance.
george.shi

Hi George,
There are are two types of statuses.One is system status and second one is user status.These statuses will tell us current situation of an order.
We can't change system statuses.But we can create our own statuses through status profile.With this profile we can control user statuses.
In this status profile,
1.We define the sequence in which user statuses can be activated,
2.We define initial statuses
3. Allow or prohibit certain business transactions.
Selection profiles are used to select the objects (say production orders) with different status combinations.We assign status profiles to selection profiles in BS42 T-Code.
Regards,
Raja.

I have just upgraded to Mountain Lion and my signatures for my Mail is not showing up. I have the signatures inthe preference panes and selected for the email address, but when I make a new message, the signature shows as none and doesn't give me a choice

I have just upgraded to Mountain Lion and my signatures for my Mail are not showing up. I have the signatures inthe preference panes and selected for the email address, but when I make a new message, the signature shows as none and doesn't give me a choice. Yesterday, the signatures were stacking instead of switching to the one I wanted to choose.

I had this and fixed it.
I had upgraded to Mountain Lion and my signatures in Mail were fine. But then about a week later, I got a new computer and used Migration Assistant to copy my stuff to the new machine. Upon opening Mail, I had all the correct Signature information in the Preferences>Signatures window, but nothing worked.
After lots of hunting, I found the Signature Folder. It's in:
Yourusername>Library>Mail>V2>MailData>Signatures
Looking at my previous setup (which works) I saw in that folder two types of files: .webarchive and .siganture
Looking in my new machine's Signature folder, I saw only the .webarchive folders, not the .signature folders
Since this was literally a clone of my previous setup to a new machine, here's what I did:
1. Quit Mail
2. In Problem machine, go to
Yourusername>Library>Mail>V2>MailData>Signatures
3. Move the Signatures folder someplace safe, but out of the MailData folder
4. Get the Signatures Folder from the working install (like a backup) and copy it to the MailData folder on the problematic machine
5. Start Mail on the problem machine
This worked for me. I don't know why Migration Assistant didn't copy the full signature folder, but this fixed it. It worked perfectly partly because I had just backed up with Carbon Copy Cloner and the very next day set up the new machine. I don't know where Lion or earlier versions of mail stored signatures, but the absence of the .signature filetype seems to be the problem.
Hope this helps

Item availability for selected items and directly create the delivery

Hi All,
For a very big sales order ..lets say having 700 line items ...is there any convenient way to create the delivery for selected items ..e.g. 30-40 line items rather going and selecting the line items then doing the item availability.
do you have any LSMW format by which we can do the item availability for selected items and directly create the delivery.
kindly Guide me..
With Regards
Azeez.Mohd

Hi ,
There is no stand way of doing it . You need to take help of abaper to do this :
1. Create a t code where if you give sale order number , it displays a report with all the items with a check box near to it as we see in SE16 .
2. This report could be best in ALV form where users can do "ctr+f" and search only the required materials then select those lines and press a button on the top of report .
3. Once the button is pressed , program will run vL01n ( create delv in backgrnd) in a BDC form . At time of delev creating , the bdc program in backgrnd uses only those items which were selected by user and not the other items .
4. Program will create a delv using a BDC in background and return the delv number for user to view tht.
U can also try using FM : RV_DELIVERY_CREATE to create delv in backgrnd after user selection if BDC is getting tricky.
Hopefully ,this shuld work and will be a easy process for the customers.
Let us know the outcome .. .
B O L ..
Hope this Helps !!!

Functionality for Select and Save layout in a report output

Hi,
I had developed a report program containing several fields in the output and requires the Functionality for Select layout and Save layout in a report output.
Please suggest.
Thanks,
Shariq.

While calling the FM for List Display ( "REUSE_ALV_LIST_DISPLAY" or "REUSE_ALV_GRID_DISPLAY" ) set the Parameter I_SAVE for Setting the Layout and Selecting a different Layouts.
The possible values for I_SAVE are "A", "U", "X" or others. Depending on the requiement you can set different values for the Parameter I_SAVE.
' ' = display variants cannot be saved
Defined display variants (e.g. delivered display variants) can be selected for presentation independently of this flag.
Changes can not be saved.
'X' = standard save
Display variants can be saved as standard display variants.
User-specific saving is not possible.
'U' = only user-specific saving
The user can only save display variants user-specifically
'A' = standard and user-specific saving
The user can save a display variant user-specifically and
as standard display variant. The user chooses in the display variant
save popup.
