Using Custom SQL in DBAdapter Polling

Hi All,
I am using DB Adapter Polling Service!
The expression builder allows to use only nested AND or OR conditions. Can I write customized SQL queries for Polling?
Thanks,
CD

As the link from Anuj said, you need to also configure 'Distributed Polling' in the wizard. This speed limit trick will no longer work out of the box in 11.1.1.3 on, you will also have to set usesSkipLocking="false" in your DbAdapter connection pool definition. Skip locking eliminates the locking contention issue, so this primitive kind of load balancing is no longer needed in that case.
Thanks
Steve

DB polling using custom SQL in SOA Suite 11g

Hi,
We are trying to poll records from a database using custom sql. But all the records in the table are being picked up at the same time and not as per the polling frequency set in the adapter.
Below is the configuration from the .jca file:
<endpoint-activation portType="II_ptt" operation="receive">
<activation-spec className="oracle.tip.adapter.db.DBActivationSpec">
<property name="DescriptorName" value="II.OrderRequest"/>
<property name="QueryName" value="IISelect"/>
<property name="MappingsMetaDataURL" value="II-or-mappings.xml"/>
<property name="PollingStrategy" value="DeletePollingStrategy"/>
<property name="PollingInterval" value="60"/>
<property name="MaxRaiseSize" value="10"/>
<property name="MaxTransactionSize" value="10"/>
<property name="SequencingColumn" value="REQUEST_SAK"/>
<property name="NumberOfThreads" value="1"/>
<property name="ReturnSingleResultSet" value="false"/>
<property name="DeleteDetailRows" value="false"/>
</activation-spec>
</endpoint-activation>
Please let us know if anything else needs to be set to enable the polling as per the frequency in the adapter.
Thanks.

How to update flag in multiple tables using custom sql DB adapter

hi all,
I have a scenario: I want to update flags in multiple tables in DB2. I have used toplink update only to update all tabless after creating relationships between them. But that approach is not working as it couldnot detect emmisions with DB2 and update the complete record with blank values in other columns.
So, i want to use custom sql now. Can anybody help in resolving the issue or in writing the custom sql.
Regards
Richa

Dear SeánMacGC thanks for reply,
But "a.changed" is not a field in GNMT_CUSTOMER_MASTER_CHG. what i am doing in this procedure is i am collecting bulck data and validating field by field from GNMT_CUSTOMER_MASTER_CHG with GNMT_CUSTOMER_MASTER table as their structure is same.. if v_name is not same as v_name_chg then i am setting changed flag to "Y" changed is "changed dbms_sql.varchar2_table" and updating GNMT_CUSTOMER_MASTER in bluck where changed flag ='Y'...
type custRec is record
n_cust_ref_no dbms_sql.number_table,
v_name dbms_sql.varchar2_table,
v_name_chg dbms_sql.varchar2_table,
rowid rowidArray,
*changed dbms_sql.varchar2_table*
i cannot use simple SQL as i need to validate field for each records with GNMT_CUSTOMER_MASTER_CHG and insert into log file as well.....
to run this procedure:
execute DO_DC_NAME_UPDATE_OTHER_TAB.DO_NAME_UPDATE_OTHER_TAB;

Help required to fit custom SQL in mapping.xml file for complex queries.
Thanks,
Arun Jadhav.

"Execuite Custom SQL" in DB adapter and you'l get it.
But in this case you'll have to implement your own polling strategy (if you need one).
If you want to use one of the predefined polling strategy you should use "Poll for New or Changed records" and import all the tables you use and connect them in wizard.

Unable to use custom SQL query in report

Hi all,
I am newbie to OBIEE
I try to write a customized sql in one of the report in OBIEE answers.
No error is thrown when I click on "Set SQL" button.
But, when I try to click on "Result" tab, I get the below error message,

SQL Override. How to use custom SQL in ODI?

I am new to ODI & have an Informatica background. I am looking for an SQL override capability in ODI. I have an existing SQL which has complex joins, in-line queries, filters, unions & many other complexities. The query reads many existing tables & output 5 fields, which I need to populate in the target table. In Informatica, I would simply create a Target table of these 5 fields, import the same table as both source & target, & then override the source qualifier with the existing SQL. Does ODI have a similar feature?
I know that the same can be achieved using core ODI features, but I am trying to get it done quickly without re-inventing the wheels.
Thanks,
Dinesh.

Dinesh
you can not use SQL over-ride feature which informatica has. I am an informatica developer myself. So I can feel your pain. You are gonna miss a lot of features Informatica has. the one you are looking can not be done using ODI Interfaces. But can be done using ODI Procedures. When you create a step in Procedure you would mention the Source and target schema informations/Context Logical Schema info which should do the work for you. If your source and targets are in different Server then create a DBlink between two servers. Now when you put your select query in it put it like an insert query.

Custom Sql fails when using Date Parameter

I need to do following using DB adapter
select count(*) from some_table where creation_date >= #from_date and creation_date <= #to_date
I used Custom sql options, but It did not asked for add params. so I added manually above params in the query. I am getting following query. I don't know how to get this working. i am on 10.1.3.
Here I am getting from and to dates from a AQ message. AQ has from and to_date as date type elements. I am doing copy assign of these to SQL input params

I think the database accepts only your database format' dd-mm-yyyy'.
Try to define #from_date & #to_date as string and use to_date() in your custim sql statement.

Database Adapter Custom SQL

Hi All,
Is there any way that we can add the variables from BPEL process in custom SQL of database adapter.
Example:
I have a variable defined in BPEL process and I have assigned a value to that variable. And in invoke process accessing database adapter is having Custom Sql operation then how can I use the variable in custom sql?
Any idea, please suggest.
Regards,
Sreejit

Sreejit,
You can assign/pass a value to your custom sql of DBAdapter like this.
select from <tablename> where tname = #variablename*+
ex: select * from emp where empno=#employeenum
Use an assign/transformation activity and do the mapping from the actual variable to the input variable(shows 'employeenum' as its variable) of invoke activity which invokes the DBAdapter.
I used this scenario extensively in my projects.
Thanx,
Sen

Custom SQL in Webi reports reverting to gerenated SQL when exporting univ

Hi all -
I've searched the forum and didn't find any posts of the sorts regarding my issue. I was wondering if anyone has experienced the following behavior in WebI XI R2.
We have a few reports that run on a scheduled daily basis. The report writer created these reports with custom SQL to use the current date in the select criteria. But when we make changes to the specifc universe that these reports use and export that universe from Designer or import it from QA to Production via Import Wizard, these reports all revert to the initial generated SQL. The report writer need to go into each one of these reports to set them back to use custom SQL. I should also add that the generated SQL of these reports are fairly complicated.
We have about 20 of these report and right now we are on a monthly deploy cycle. So it's becoming an issue to get these reports set back to use custom SQL every month.
Has anyone come across an issue like this? If so, was there a resolution?
Thanks in advance for any advice on this.

Walter- Thanks. Doing the universe solution work around is my last resort which will probably be the case.
It does seem like this is some sort of bug in WEBI because it only happens in certain cases - complex custom sql. We have a other reports with custom sql that have simple select SQL that don't show this behavior when the universe is exported. So I was looking to see if anyone else has encountered this and knew if there was a patch or something that would address this issue.

Possible to execute custom SQL query?

Is it possible to execute a custom SQL query and get back a collection of
objects with Kodo JDO? Query expression languages like JDOQL are all very
well (I actually think JDOQL is pretty messy), but sometimes when you've
got a complex query (and you know you're using a RDBMS) it is best
accomplished in a SQL statement. I see Kodo has extended JDOQL, which is
good, but developing custom extensions seems to be limited to implementing
kodo.jdbc.query.JDBCFilterListener where you can customise the where
clause. What I want to be able to do is to specify the entire SQL string.
I am looking into using Kodo JDO for my organisation, and being able to
use custom SQL is something i would expect (and something we can do with
our current O/R mapping product (TopLink)).

Alex

How to add custom sql operations in Database adapters?

I have a database adapter in ESB configured with insert, update and select operations.
I wanted to add another select operation with pure sql. When I added the operation it gave me error "Start of the root element expected" while registering the service.
Can't we do like this?
I use SOA suite 10.1.3.4.
- Sam

Hi Thanks for reply.
There is an option while configuring the DB adapter "Execute Custom SQL" where you can specify the query you want to execute. It will generate the schema as per the query you enter in the wizard.
I have created adapters with this type of custom SQLs and even I have put multiple operations in the same adapters where all use Custom SQL and they are working fine.
Thease custom SQL operations can be anything insert, update, select and they even work with other operations using procedures in the same adapter. But yes we need to modify the WSDL manuallly.
My problem was that when I try to add the custom SQL operation in the adapter which is configured with normal select, insert and update operation, I was getting the error mentioned.

Conditions and Custom SQL in Webi SDK

I'm porting an application written using REBean in BusinessObjects 3.1 to use the new Webi RESTful SDK. I'm currently working with BI 4.1 SP4. There are two things that I could do in easily REBean that I am having a hard time figuring out in the new SDK.
View condition information on a data provider -- In REBean you could use the ConditionContainer object to navigate the condition tree on a query and see all of the query's conditions, including the object name and operator. This information doesn't seem to be included in the Data Provider Details web service so I'm not sure where to find it. Am I missing something? Is the Query Specification the only place where this information is available?
Identify whether a query is using custom SQL -- As far as I know, this is different than Freehand SQL data providers which are supported in the new SDK. In REBean you could use SQLDataProvider.isCustomSQL() to discover if a particular query had the Custom SQL radio button selected in the universe query panel. Again, this information doesn't seem to be included on the Data Provider Details web service. How can I tell if a query is using Custom SQL in the new Web Services SDK?
Thanks,
Ryan

Hi Ryan,
Both of your questions are possible.
1. you can get the queriesTree and conditions, including names and operators, from the specification of the dataprovider with the following request (text/xml)
GET /raylight/v1/documents/<docId>/dataproviders/<dataproviderId>/specification
2. you can identify custom SQL by returning the queryPlan of the dataprovider (application/xml)
GET /raylight/v1/documents/<docId>/dataproviders/<dataproviderId>/queryplan
Response:
      <queryplan editable="true" custom="true">
         <statement index="1">
             your customized SQL
         </statement>
      </queryplan>
I hope this helps,
Dan

LOV custom sql

Hi,
I've created LOV in a dashboard prompt using the direct SQL request. LOV populates from the custom SQL.
The problems are the LOV default value comes from the underlying presentation table and not the custom SQL. Secondly the when using the "Match" functionality to search for a value the LOV uses the underlying report table and not the custom SQL used to populate the LOV.
Does anyone know how to force the LOV to use the custom SQL for these to scenarios?
Thanks
Phil

Hi,
I have looked at John's blog regarding LOV's. I'm using custom SQL as he does, but I need to know if there is if there is any solutions for the aforementioned problems.
Thanks
