Add Command when selecting data tables

I've been playing with the Add Command option that allows you to enter an SQL statement to select data for the report. I was wondering what people use this type of command for? I've used Crystal over 10 years but while I've been using Crystal XI for only about 3 years, I have never used this option.
So what advantages does it have over the graphically selection and linking of data tables?
What types of reporting is usually done with them?
TIA, rasinc

You have to know your database well and have fairly good SQL skills, but I've found that there are things I can't do directly in Crystal that I can do when I use a command as the data source. A couple of examples are:
1. When I want to use cross-server joins (MS SQL) or dbLinks (Oracle) to get data from a second (or third!) database, this is the only way to do it short of using a stored procedure, which has it's own issues.
2. When I want to do something complex in the SQL, such as using a set of selects with Unions to "pivot" data without using a cross-tab.
Also, Crystal doesn't always create the most efficient SQL so if I'm having problems with query performance in a report, I'll re-write it using a command so that I can tweak the performance.

Connected webpart - add item with selected data

Hi!
I have a page with connected web parts.
Example:
List one: Companies
a address List with companies
List two: Employees
A list with employees and a relation to companies (Company name).
On the view item on companies i have list Employees connected. When i add an item i would like to have the Company name selected in the drop down.
I have seen examples on using JavaScript but this doesn´t work in SharePoint 2013. Anyone with a solution for this, Jslink perhaps?

Hi,
According to your post, my understanding is that you wanted to add item with selected data in connected webpart.
I recommend to use lookup column in the Employees to add a relation to companies.
You can check “Yes” under “Require that this column contains information”. Then you need to select an company when you add a item.
The result is as below:
If you want to set the defult value for the lookup column, you can use InfoPath and no code.
For more information, please refer to:
SharePoint 2010 - Set default value for a lookup column using InfoPath and no code
In addition, a simple add-on(SharePoint Default Value Add-On) which inject a "default value" section into "Create Column" dialog， seems to be a solution.
Thanks,

Yes but this is a regular operation and the INSERT is the only opportunity.
BTW, look at what else I have just found:
INSERT INTO Local_Table (a, b)SELECT col1, col2 FROM DUAL INNER JOIN Table1@remote ON (1=1) LEFT JOIN Table2@remote ON (...)
OK.

Cannot see table data when selecting data tab

In SQL developer 2.1, when I look at table definitions I see the column names and types etc, then when I click on the data tab to see the data in that table, I don't see the data only row numbers, this does'nt happen in version 1.54. Any idea what it could be causing the data not to be displayed?

I don't know if there is a synonym or not, I'll have to check. In the table browser when I click on a table I get the table columns in the main window with tabs on top for 'data', 'constraints' etc. when I select data, I see row numbers on the left, column names at the top but no data when there is data in the table (checked it using sql).
I've gone back to version 1.5.5, thanks for your help.

Generating dynamic command links in data table

Hi,
I have a requirement to generate dynamic number of columns in a datatable. Also these columns should contain a command link.
I have written following piece of code to do so...
public UIData getDataTableBinding()
     UICommand comm = null;
     UIColumn col;
     UIOutput out = null;
     Application app = app = FacesContext.getCurrentInstance().getApplication();
// Suppose I want to generate 7 columns
     for(int j = 0; j < 7; ++j) {
     out = new UIOutput();
     col = new UIColumn();
     comm = new UICommand();
     ValueBinding vb = app.createValueBinding("#{" + j + "}");
     out.setValueBinding("value", vb);
     out.setRendererType("javax.faces.Text");
     comm.setRendererType("javax.faces.Link");
comm.getChildren().add(out);
     MethodBinding mbButton = app.createMethodBinding("#{pc_File1.doLink1Action}",
null);
     comm.setAction(mbButton);
     col.getChildren().add(comm);
     dataTableTemp.getChildren().add(col);
     return dataTableTemp;
I have bound the "binding" attribute of the data table to getDataTableBinding()
method.
If I remove all the references to UICommand i.e comm variable, table is displayed properly, but if
I try to include a command link component as mentioned above I get "Assertion failed error"
SRVE0068E: Could not invoke the service() method on servlet Faces Servlet. Exception thrown :
javax.servlet.ServletException: javax.faces.el.EvaluationException: Error getting property

     at com.ibm._jsp._File1._jspService(_File1.java:92)
     at com.ibm.ws.jsp.runtime.HttpJspBase.service(HttpJspBase.java:88)
Any kind of help on this issue would be appreciated,
Thanks in advance,
Raina

Hi,
I solved my problem just by replacing UIOutput component with HtmlOutputText component and then making it as a child component of UICommand component.
Now I am facing a new problem. Whenever I try to refresh the page I get following exception
"SRVE0026E: [Servlet Error]-[Faces Servlet]: java.lang.IllegalStateException: Duplicate component ID 'form1:table1:cmd0' found in view."
I am explicitly setting the component id of the UICommand component using the setViewId() method.
This problem is observed only when I refresh the page. In case I navigate to another page and then again come back to this current page, then I don't get this exception.
Your help would be appreciated,
Raina

KUP-01005 error when selecting external table

Hi All,
My name is arun. I am having trouble resolving the following error. I tried to google, search oracle forum but no avail. I would really appreciate some help? I hope someone point me to the right direction with this problem. Thank you.
Scenario :
I have done the following :
1. Created the external directories using a user account(KDEV199). However by default its owned by SYS user.
2. Created the table necessary for selection. This was done by user account(KDEV199)
3. I have granted the folder privileges owned by oinstall:oracle where the 2 physical files exists. Thus all the files is owned by oracle. This was done at OS layer.
4. I have created 2 files necessary to extract data & read in oracle. This was done at OS layer.
The problem is that i have the following when i try to select the table :
SQL> select * from TEXN_IGM_MST;
select * from TEXN_IGM_MST
ERROR at line 1:
ORA-29913: error in executing ODCIEXTTABLEOPEN callout

ORA-01410 when selecting data via ROWID

hi there,
after update on 11.2.0.2 we are getting the following error in our application when selecting a record using the comparison via the ROWID:
select s.rowid , S.VRZNG_ENHT_TITEL from vws_vrzng_enht_haupt_sys s where s.rowid='AAASN0AAFAAACBUAAB';
-- => ORA-01410 (it doesn't matter which other column additionally to the rowid will be chosen)
performing the same select but using the * for all data
select s.rowid , s.* from vws_vrzng_enht_haupt_sys s where s.rowid='AAASN0AAFAAACBUAAB';
-- => one row will be received.
that is very strange to me.
Using the former release 10.2.0.4 everything was fine without receiving such an error.
Also the dirty workaround with setting the optimizer_features_enable to 10.2.0.4 will work....
Has anyone faced this error, too? Any help will be higly appreciated.
thanks Stefan

All data disappaers from report when fourth data table is added?!

I've designed a report in CR XI that relies on a stored proc and two additional linked sql tables. Everything works great in this configuration.
BUT, when I add one more data table (a fourth data source), no data appears in the report. The link between this newest table and the other tables is a good join: I've verified it in sql, in Access, etc...
I even attempted to "work around" the problem by adding a subreport that is based on the new sql table, instead of including the sql table to the main report. Unfortunately, the subreport approach yields the same problem of no data displaying in the report.
Is there some sort of limitation on how may data sources can be used in a CR report if one of the sources is a stored procedure??!
Thanks in advance for any assistance with this problem,
--Pete

4 data sources should not be an issue... When you add the fourth data source, how are you linking it to the others? can you create a report using just the new datasource, and does it return records ? You say you have a good join, you may want to verify that. Is if a left outer join to the main table ?

Incorrect year conversion when selecting date from DatePicker

Hi,
I have a problem when I select date from the date picker calendar to the inputDate item.
The date in input item and date picker calendar are displayed as Buddhist year (Gregorian year + 543) ex. year 2012 is 2555 Buddhist year.
When I selected date from the date picker, the year put in the inputDate item is converted to Gregorian year (2012). It should be buddhist year (2555)
Does anybody know where I can check how the year is converted?
Thanks.
nat...

Hi Bijesh,
I use version 11.1.2.2.0. Actually, I got the patch from Oracle support already but it is not working properly with my application. The behavior is like this...
- First, I set the current date as a default date in the inputDate item and date is shown correctly -- 10/10/2555.
- The calendar in datePicker is also displayed correctly with year 2555.
- But when I selected the date from the datePicker, it put 10/10/2012 in the inputDate item.
I am not sure where I can check how the year is converted back to Gregorian. Any clue?
Thanks.

Heterogeneous Connectivity: Error when select data from table

Hi all,
I use Heterogeneous Connectivity in Oracle 10g Linux to connect SQL server Database. I use FeeTDS ODBC driver. After configuration, I create database link in Oracle, Database link is active.
But in SQLplus, I write: select * from all_catalog@DBL; It views all tables and views in sql server database.
When I write: select * from AA@DBL; It produce error:
ORA-00942: table or view does not exist
[Generic Connectivity Using ODBC]Record AA has no fields. Loading failed
ORA-02063: preceding 2 lines from DBL
Please help me. Thank you very much!

I am sorry, i did not go through the entire message of yours
Does AA exist, does not contain columns, describe the table please.
Maybe you should not try Select * from ,,,, rather Select specific fields.. Also if in the remote database, the field and tablename are written in lower case you may want to try
select "field_name" , from "aa" etc

Change mm/dd/yyyy to dd/mm/yyyy when selecting date via dateSelector??

Hi Experts,
i have attribute of date type that has been binded to input field in a web dynpro Java application. when application is executed user can select a date via DateSelector that appears automatically.
Problem is after the date has been selected input field is populated in mm/dd/yyyy format ( ex 03/28/2008). My client wants that to be changed . It must read 28/03/2008 (dd/mm/yyyy).
I tried creating simple type using base type Date and setting representation dd/MM/yyyy however that does NOT work!!
Edited by: Eureka on Mar 28, 2008 5:30 PM

Hi,
Simple type with representation dd/MM/yyyy works for me.
Here is what I have done.
Create a simple type
Name :testDateFormat
package : com.test
Dictionary : Local Dictionary
Built-In-Type : Date
In the Representation Tab :
Format : dd/MM/yyyy
In the WD view created a context of type : com.test.testDateFormat and assinged the context to the inputfield
Now I see date format dd/MM/yyyy, make sure the u specify the correct format.

AE

Please do some more research before offering advice:
PACKAGE SIZE is for memory management, not performance.
Creating a secondary index is using a hammer to swat a fly and the order in the SELECT is not relevant.
FAE does not improve performance over a JOIN.
