Access data from from two lists based on lookup columns and insert into another

Hi,
I am new in SharePoint and is stuck in some problem.
I want to insert data in to a list by fetching data from 2 lists.
The scenario is :
List A Columns : EmployeeName, EmployeeID, EmployeeSalary
List B Columns : DepartmentName, EmployeeID, ManagerID
EmployeeID is lookup column
I want to fetch data from these 2 lists and insert data into another list:
List C Columns: EmployeeName, EmployeeSalary, DepartmentName
Can someone please explain me all the possible approaches to do the above task

If ListA and ListB are the lists that you created, it would be better to generate the lists data into one list not seperate lists, as they both represents the property information of one employee.
If they are existing lists, you may have following considerations:
1. if you are a programmer, it would be easier to have a lookup column at ListA, to generate the EmployeeName, EmplyeeSalary, then using ItemAdded event, to generate the DepartmentName column based on EmployeeID column.
2. have a lookup column look at ListA, use workflow, set when item is created, start the workflow automatically, then in the workflow, find ListB related item based on EmployeeID column, to set the DepartmentName column, SharePoint designer workflow
set Item Value activity can do this work, you can research to find more information about how to do this.

Hi, extract data from xml file and insert into another exiting xml file

i am searching code to extract data from xml file and insert into another exiting xml file by a java program. I understood it is easy to extract data from a xml file, and how ever without creating another xml file. We want to insert the extracted data into another exiting xml file. Suggestions?

RandomAccessFile? If you know where you want to insert it.Are you sure about this? If using this, the receiving file would have to have bytes inserted that exactly match the number of bytes replaced. I'm thinking that you'll likely have to stream through the second XML with a SAX parser and copy information (or insert new information) as you stream with an XML writer of some sort.

If the files are small, you can load the target file in a DOM document, insert the data from the source file and persist the DOM.
If the files are large, you probably want to use a StAX or SAX.

How to get the data from one table and insert into another table

Hi,
We have requirement to build OA page with the data needs to be populated from one table and on save data into another table.
For the above requirement what the best way to implement in OAF.
I understand that if we attach VO object instance to region/page, we only can pull and put data in to only one table.
Thanks

You can achieve this in many different ways, one is
1. Create another VO based on the EO which is based on the dest table.
2. At save, copy the contents of the source VO into the dest VO (see copy routine in dev guide).
3. commiting the transaction will push the data into the dest table on which the dest VO is based.
I understand that if we attach VO object instance to region/page, we only can pull and put data in to only one table.
if by table you mean a DB table, then no, you can have a VO based on multiple EOs which will do DMLs accordingly.Thanks

Hello EVERYBODY
I have a table called sound with the following attributes. in the music attribute i have stored some messages in the different language like hindi, english etc. i want to concatinate all hindi messages and store in the another table with only one attribute of type LONG RAW.and this attribute is attached with the sound item.
when i click the play button of sound item the all the messages recorded in hindi will play one by one automatically. for that i'm doing the following.
i have written the following when button pressed trigger which will concatinate all the messages of any selected language from the sound table, and store in another table called temp.
and then sound will be played from the temp table.
declare
     tmp sound.music%type;
     temp1 sound.music%type;

Looking data from more than one table and inserting into another.

Hello,
I am giving you the Table structures as per my requirement..
CREATE TABLE TEMP_A
(NAME VARCHAR2(100) primary key);
CREATE TABLE TEMP_B
(STRUCTURE VARCHAR2(10));
CREATE TABLE TEMP_C
( NAME VARCHAR2(100),
STRUCTURE VARCHAR2(10),
VALUE VARCHAR2(10));
Alter table TEMP_C
add constraint fk_name_tempc foreign key(name) references TEMP_A(name)
INSERT INTO TEMP_A VALUES('SMITH');
INSERT INTO TEMP_A VALUES('ALLEN');
INSERT INTO TEMP_A VALUES('WARD');
INSERT INTO TEMP_A VALUES('JONES');
COMMIT;
INSERT INTO TEMP_B VALUES('IN');
INSERT INTO TEMP_B VALUES('IN_MIN');
INSERT INTO TEMP_B VALUES('IN_TYP');
INSERT INTO TEMP_B VALUES('IN_MAX');
INSERT INTO TEMP_B VALUES('DIP');
INSERT INTO TEMP_B VALUES('TIM');
COMMIT;
INSERT INTO TEMP_c VALUES('SMITH','C1','');
INSERT INTO TEMP_c VALUES('SMITH','C2','');
INSERT INTO TEMP_c VALUES('SMITH','D1','');
INSERT INTO TEMP_c VALUES('ALLEN','D2','');
INSERT INTO TEMP_c VALUES('ALLEN','R1','');
INSERT INTO TEMP_c VALUES('WARD','R2','');
COMMIT;
i want to say is it should insert into table 'TEMP_C' values as :
For 'SMITH' there should be (6 * 3) = 18 records.
( 6 distinct values of TEMP_B for SMITH to be inserted into TEMP_C against 'C1')
( 6 distinct values of TEMP_B for SMITH to be inserted into TEMP_C against 'C2')
( 6 distinct values of TEMP_B for SMITH to be inserted into TEMP_C against 'D1')
For 'ALLEN' there should be (6 * 2) = 12 records.
( 6 distinct values of TEMP_B for ALLEN to be inserted into TEMP_C against 'D2')
( 6 distinct values of TEMP_B for ALLEN to be inserted into TEMP_C against 'R1')
For 'WARD' there should be (6 * 1) = 6 records.
( 6 distinct values of TEMP_B for WARD to be inserted into TEMP_C against 'R2')
Like this if there are records for JONES also , it should also do the same way( Depending on the No. of records present
in the table 'TEMP_C' for 'JONES').
Thanks in advance,

I can query the data in screen. I need into insert the data into the emp_temp.
I don't know how to do this . Please help me.
Thanks
Subra

You can create a VO based on EO on emp_temp table.....
And u have attached a Different VO on the page... Right...
Now what u can do is....once u click on apply....
u can set the each attributes of EO based VO explicitly via code, from the values of second VO.... and then commit.....
Perhaps this might help...

Read data from E$ table and insert into staging table

Hi all,
I am a new to ODI. I want your help in understanding how to read data from an "E$" table and insert into a staging table.
Scenario:
Two columns in a flat file, employee id and employee name, needs to be loaded into a datastore EMP+. A check constraint is added to allow data with employee names in upper case only to be loaded into the datastore. Check control is set to flow and static. Right click on the datastore, select control and then check. The rows that have violated the check constraint are kept in E$_EMP+ table.
Problem:
Issue is that I want to read the data from the E$_EMP+ table and transform the employee name into uppercase and move the corrected data from E$_EMP+ into EMP+. Please advise me on how to automatically handle "soft" exceptions in ODI.
Thank you

Hi Himanshu,
I have tried the approach you suggested already. That works. However, the scenario I described was very basic. Based on the error logged into the E$_EMP table, I will have to design the interface to apply more business logic before the data is actually merged into the target table.
Before the business logic is applied, I need to read each row from the E$EMP table first and I do not know how to read from E$EMP table.

How to get additional field from the second list base on lookup information column ?

Hi everyone,
Currently I created a SharePoint hosted Apps project and I need to know how can I get additional field from the second list base on lookup information column. example List1 Have 2 columns column1 and column2(Lookup Information from list2 (category)),
List2 have 3 columns title, and category, and color. so how can get the title and color from list2 base on this lookup information column (SharePoint Hosted apps and Javascript code)? that is possible?
Best regards,
------------------------------------------------------------ ---Tola---

You can build one custom lookup control. Refer to the following post
http://www.stuartroberts.net/index.php/2012/10/03/enhanced-lookup-field-part-1/
Alternatively, try the following solution from codeplex

Then I need to insert the all the value for this three column into a table which has the three column name ID, Name, Age
Anyone knows? I need to do this urgently...Thank in advanced

1. Use BufferedReader and read the file line by line.
2. Loop thru the file and do the following steps with in this loop.
3. Use StringTokenizer to seperate each line into three values (columns).
4. Now create a insert statement with these values and add the statement to the batch (using addBatch() method of PreparedStatement or Statement).
5. Finally (after exiting the loop), execute these batch of statements (using ps.executeBatch()).

[Forum FAQ] SharePoint 2013: Extracting values from a multi-value enabled lookup column and merge values to a multi-value enabled column

For some business requirements, users want to extract values from a multi-value enabled lookup column
and add items to another list based on each separate value. In contrast, others want to find duplicate values in the list and merge associated values to a multi-value enabled column and then
add items to another list based on the merged value. All of these can be achieved using SharePoint Designer 2013 Workflow.
How to extract values from a multi-value enabled lookup column and add items to another list based
on each separate value using SharePoint Designer 2013.
Important actions: Loop Shape; Utility Actions
Three scenarios

How to merge values to a multi-value enabled column and add item to another list based on the
merged value using SharePoint Designer 2013.
Important actions: Call HTTP Web Service; Build Dictionary
Things to note
Steps to create Workflow
How to
extract values from a multi-value enabled lookup column and
add items to another list based on each separate value using SharePoint Designer 2013.
For example, they have three lists as below. They want to
extract values from the Destinations column
in Lookup2 and add items to Lookup3 based on each country and set Title to current item: ID.
Lookup1:
Title (Single line of text)
Lookup2:
Title (Single line of text), Destinations (Lookup; Get information from: Lookup1 in Title column).\
Lookup3:
Title (Single line of text), Country (Single line of text).
Important action
1. Loop Shape: SharePoint Designer 2013 support two types of loops: loop n times and loop with condition.
Loops must also conform to the following rules:
Loops must be within a stage, and stages cannot be within a loop.
Steps may be within a loop.
Loops may have only one entry and one exit point.
2. Utility Actions: It contains many actions, such as ‘Extract Substring from Index of String’ and ‘Find substring in String’.
Three scenarios
We need to loop through the string returned from the look up column and look for commas. There are three
scenarios:
1. No comma but string is non-empty so there is only one country.
2. At least one comma so there is at least two or more countries to loop.
3. In the loop we have consumed all the commas so we have found the last country.
Things to note
There are two things to note:
1. "Find string in string (output to Variable:index)" will return -1 if doesn't find
the searched for string.
2. In the opening statement "Set Variable: Countries to Current Item:Destinations" set the return
field as "Lookup Values, Comma Delimited".
Steps to create Workflow
Create a custom list named Lookup1.
Create a custom list named Lookup2, add column: Destinations (Lookup; Get information from: Lookup1 in Title column).
Create a custom list named Lookup3, add column: Country (Single line of text).
Create a workflow associated to Lookup2.
Add conditions and actions:
Start the workflow automatically when an item is created.
Add item to Lookup2, then workflow will be started automatically and create multiple items to lookup3.
See the below in workflow History List:
How to merge values to a multi-value enabled column and add item to another list based on the
merged value using SharePoint Designer 2013
For example, they have three lists as below. They want to find duplicate values in the Title column in
Lookup3 and merge country column to a multi-value enabled column and then add item to lookup2 and set the Title to Current Item: Title.
Lookup1:
Title (Single line of text)
Lookup3:
Title (Single line of text), Country (Single line of text).
Lookup2:
Title (Single line of text), Test (Single line of text).
Important actions
"Call HTTP Web Service"
action: In SharePoint 2013 workflows, we can call a web service using a new action introduced in SharePoint 2013 named Call HTTP Web Service. This action
is flexible and allows you to make simple calls to a web service easily, or, if needed, you can create more complex calls using HTTP verbs as well as allowing you to add HTTP headers.
“Build Dictionary"
action:
The Dictionary variable type is a new variable type in the SharePoint 2013 Workflow.
The following are the three actions specifically designed for the Dictionary variable type: Build Dictionary, Count Items in a Dictionary and Get an Item from a Dictionary.
The "Call HTTP Web Service" workflow action would be useless without the new "Dictionary" workflow action.
Things to note
The
HTTP URI is set to https://sitename/_api/web/lists/GetByTitle('listname')/items?$orderby=Id%20desc and the HTTP method is set to “GET”. Then the list will be sort by Id in descending order.
Use Get
d/results(0)/Id form
Variable: ResponseContent (Output to
Variable: maxid) to get the Max ID.
Use Set
Variable: minid to Current List:ID to get the Min ID.
Use Copy from
Variable: destianation , starting at
1 (Output to
Variable: destianation) to remove the space.
Steps to create Workflow
Create a custom list named Lookup1.
Create a custom list named Lookup2, add column: Test (Single line of text).
Create a custom list named Lookup3, add column: Country (Single line of text).
Create a workflow associated to Lookup3.
Add a new "Build Dictionary" action
to define the http request header:
Add a Call HTTP Web Serviceaction, click on
this and paste your http request.
To associate the
RequestHeader variable, select the Call action property,
set the
RequestHeaders property to
RequestHeader:
In the Call action, click on
response and associate the response to a new
variable: ResponseContent (of type Dictionary).
After the Call action add Get item from Dictionary action to get the Max ID.
Add Set Workflow Variable action to get the Min ID.
Add Loop Shape (Loop with Condition) to get all the duplicate titles and integrate them to a string.
Create item in Lookup2.
The final Stage should look like this:
Start the workflow automatically when an item is created.
Add item to Lookup3, then workflow will be started automatically and create item to lookup2.
See the below in workflow History List:

GREAT info, but it may be helpful to note that when replacing a portion of the variable "Countries" with a whitespace character, you may cause the workflow to fail in a few specific cases (certain lookup fields will not accept this and will automatically
cancel). I only found this out when recreating your workflow on a similar, but much more complex list set.
To resolve this issue, I used another utility action (Extract Substring from Index of List) to clear out the whitespace. I configured it as "Copy from
Variable: Countries, starting at
1 (Output to Variable: Countries), which takes care of this issue in those few cases.
Otherwise, WOW! AWESOME JOB! Thanks! :)
