10g Writeback issues

Question

Hi,
I'm new to OB and new to this forum. I was asked to add the writeback function to a subject area I created, so I did some research and found a couple walkthroughs. I did everything I thought I was supposed to do, but when i go into the frontend, the writeback button does not show in the column I setup.
I setup my writeback simply for making the xml simple.

you can see the setup in the backend. The subject area is FOLSUM_TEST, the connection pool is called folsum, and in the table AIF I am trying to make a simple report with account number and last comment 1. I want last comment 1 to be able to do the writeback. I set up AIF as non-cacheable. I am using an admin login so i have the "execute direct database request" ability. Last Comment 1 is VARCHAR 255 length.
Here is my XML -
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8" ?>
<WebMessageTables xmlns:sawm="com.siebel.analytics.web/message/v1">
<WebMessageTable lang="en-us" system="WriteBack" table="Messages">
<WebMessage name="WriteBack">
<XML>
<writeBack connectionPool="folsum">
<insert>INSERT INTO FOLSUM_TEST.AIF ‘Last Comment 1’ (@{c1})</insert>
<update>UPDATE FOLSUM_TEST.AIF SET ‘Last Comment 1’='@{c1}' WHERE ‘Account Number’=@{c0}</update>
</writeBack>
</XML>
</WebMessage>
</WebMessageTable>
</WebMessageTables>
So I put this in the right location, and I get no writeback ability when I load the report. I am thinking that the possible problem is that the column is named Last Comment 1 instead of LAST_COMMENT_1 as one word? I put single ticks and double ticks around the column header but neither worked. I have double checked the columns label as c1 and c0,in short I am at a loss as to what could be wrong here. Oh yeah, the server is on XP and my pc is on win7. I followed these 2 walkthroughs.

Answer 1

I have gotten the writeback button to show, and it is not greyed out. I get an error message when I try to save the data though-
State: HY000. Code: 10058. [NQODBC] [SQL_STATE: HY000] [nQSError: 10058] A general error has occurred. [nQSError: 43093] An error occurred while processing the EXECUTE PHYSICAL statement. [nQSError: 16001] ODBC error state: 01000 code: 3621 message: [Microsoft][ODBC SQL Server Driver][SQL Server]The statement has been terminated.. [nQSError: 16001] ODBC error state: 22003 code: 248 message: [Microsoft][ODBC SQL Server Driver][SQL Server]The conversion of the nvarchar value '010134848600000' overflowed an int column. Maximum integer value exceeded.. [nQSError: 16015] SQL statement execution failed. (HY000)
SQL Issued: EXECUTE PHYSICAL CONNECTION POOL folsum UPDATE AIF SET "Last Comment 1"= 'CBCS Nationa' WHERE "Account Number"=0000030857
I'm assuming I have some setting wrong having to do with the nvarchar value mentioned, but I have no idea why and can't find this issue on searching. The database column is varchar type with 255 characters if that helps.
thank you
