APD - Query Data Source with InfoProvider - Infoset

Hello
I have one infoset created and is set-up as InfoProviders. I have written a query that runs on Infoset. It is OLDB switched on.
When I go into RSANWB, this query is not avalable as Data source?
I could not find any documentation or OSS note specifing this limitations. We are BW 3.5 SP15.
Any clue.
Pankaj

With some more reasearch, I have found that Function "RSCRM_REPORTS_F4" is used to get the list of the queries.
It has one parameter I_SHOW_NEWISQ and it is passed as BLANK. This is what control what type of query object will be shown.
Do we have any Option to Control this?

APD with query data source

Hi,
I'm facing a problem, i created APD which have query data source, this query have so many calculated keyfigure and these calculated keyfigure has Exception Aggregation field is "Use Standard Aggregation" and on Calculations tab "local calculation is "Nothing defined". so Bex query result is defferent from query column "SUM". my problem is all query fields are map in APD there i'm suing the aggregation transformation which is using SUM and load data into DSO.
Now query indiviual sum for each column is equal to DSO field sum but diffferent from BEx query sum, is there any posibility to take BEx query sum in DSO
Please help me to fix this issue.
Thanks,

Hi,
Could not understand your issue correctly. Could you please give sample values?
My suggestion would be to create the query without any result rows and load it in the APD with 1:1 transformation.
Does that fulfill your requirement?
Thank.

Generic Data source with Infoset Query

Hi All,
Please provide me the links or PPT's or Information or PDF's for the creation of the Generic Data source with Infoset Query or
Please explain in clear steps how to create Generic Data source with Infoset Query.
Thanks & Regards,
Ravi

Oopps...being a BI guy, always think of BW
I have never created, though I will suggest to follow this:
A query can be created to extract information from master records i.e Infotypes. For example, by creating a query , the data relating to an employee contained in various Infotypes can be extracted.
Proceedure :
Decide on the various Infotypes we want to make the query. Decide on the area where we want to query i.e Global area or Standard area. Standard area is client specific and globel area will include all clients.
Menu : HR u2013 PM u2013 Admn - Information System - Adhoc Query
Select area standard and select the user group already created
Creation of new query :
TC SQ03 - Select Environment u2013 Select Standard Area - Enter -- If new user group is to be created, enter name of the user group, click on create and enter necessary information and exit after saving
TC SQ02 - Enter name of the Infoset u2013 Create u2013 enter name of Infoset - Data source -- > Table join by basis table u2013 give name of table e.g pa0000 - Enter - Click on insert table if we want to include more tables u2013 give name of table one by one and after finishing, place cursor on the joining lines and right click to delete unwanted relationships - check - and go back - field groups - include all table fields - click on generate button - go out
TC SQ03 - Select user group - eg. Payroll
Infoset - Enter name of newly created Infoset
Assign users and Infosets - Assign infosets - put tick on payroll - save and go back
TC PAAH - Expand the nodes and put tick on relevant fields depending upon necessity
Save the query by giving the same name as infoset for easyness..
Thanks...

An error occurred querying a data source - with REST services

Hi,
I have a SharePoint 2013 form library library with an info-path form. I need to get the logged in user's 'Display Name' on my form load automatically.
I used REST service to fetch the current user details. In the preview mode of the form, its showing the right name. But when I publish this form to library I am getting the following error.
REST Service --> http://site url/_api/SP.UserProfiles.PeopleManager/GetMyProperties
Please help me to resolve this issue.
Thanks in advance for your time and reply :)

Hi,
According to your post, my understanding is that an error occurred querying a data source with REST services.
It is defiantly permission issue with GetUserProfileByName service
and could be many reasons of this problem. You first try with UDCX file and make sure that UPS is running.

Query for records on a block with Query Data Source Type : Procedure

Hi All,
The veriosn of form I'm using is:
Forms [32 Bit] Version 6.0.8.23.2
I have a block based on a procedure.
But when I enetr-query and search for records specific to ceratin criteria even then the result of the Query is all records.
Is Query not allowed on a block with Query Data Source Type : Procedure.
Hope my question is clear.
Thanks in advance.
Regards
Arif

When you use a table based block, forms can construct any select with any where clause based on the given inputs. Using a procedure based block, forms cannot "know" which in or out parameter of the procedure corresponds to which item. Even if Forms could pass the value of an item to an argument automagically, the procedure would have to "do something" with the argument, and you´d have to code it.
So, any item that should be used in the where-clause must be mapped to an argument.
Perhaps it would be easier to use a table based block querying a view? For DDL, you could use an instead-of-trigger on the view.

Setting Query Data Source Arguments Property for Block with TYPE Procedure

Hi,
I have a block whose type is 'Procedure', this returns a PL/SQL table.
I pass an IN OUT variable declared in the Package header and all works well.
What I need to know is how, if I have ANOTHER argument, how do I set it programatically prior to EXECUTE_QUERY.
I can see how to set the Name and Value manually at the "Query Data Source Arguments" property but if I need to set it dynamically in the code how would I do it.

Thanks,
Worked it out.
Set the VALUE to the name of a Global variable and populated the variable before executing the procedure.
Thanks

Generic Data source based on Infoset

Hi,
I have a Generic data source based on Infoset. i need hostorical data from this data source, when i extract it is given me only current data. Infoset based on PNPCE logical database, in the Infoset query (ECC6) when i select "All" it gives all data, but when i extract with RSA3 with perticular personal number it just give me 1 record,
Please help me to fix this problem.
Thanks

i think you mean to get data relevant to a date. have you setup the begda/enda as selection parameters in the generic datasource? that would be the only aside from a custom program to first fetch the data and then send it to bi.
with the dates, you can pull it with the relevant date range setup in the infopackage

Question on Dynamic Query Data Source and Form Folders in Oracle Forms 6i

Hi there -
I have one interesting requirement in Oracle Forms.
This is what I wanted to do.
1. Have a LOV and Go button on Form.
2. From LOV, I will select a pre-defined custom table and click Go.
3. Based on the selected custom table, I have to populate the Block (Tabular Format).
4. User should be able to do update, delete, insert on this block.
5. User should be able to use the Oracle Form folders functionality (select only necessary column and save views etc. Std folder functionality).
6. If user selects a different custom table name in the LOV on top, I need to refresh the data from the block based on this new table. Remaining functionality should be as it is (steps 3 to 5).
You can see here, I am going to have dynamic query data source (Table Name as well as column mapping) on the block. I do not know before hand how many columns the user selected table has!
This is what I have planned for this so far but I have some major questions before I can move on with this design:
1. I am going to create a table structure with fixed number of column in form (40 cols assuming that the custom table will not have more that 40 cols). (Kind of limitation but it's okay as of now).
2. Dynamically populate the block based on the table name selected by the user from LOV. Dynamically change the table column names based on the table selected etc.
3. Perform insert, update, delete using PL/SQL package.
So far it looks okay.
Now my real question is,
Can user still be able to user "Folders" functionality here? I have never done this kind of development before and I doubt the dynamic column naming, dynamic column data source will really work for "folders"!
Also, I am not really sure whether user will be able to save these "folder" queries?
Okay so form experts, can you ppl suggest me if this is really going to work? Are there any better ways to do this?
Initially I tried to do this in OA Framework but I got stuck at because as per OAF developer guide "I cannot user OAF personalization for dynamic items, regions etc".
For more info on that thread see this link...
Re: setUserCustomizable issue!
Thanks in advance for the help.

Any suggestion anyone?

Forms clause query data source data block in oracle forms

Hello experts,
I am new in oracle forms.I am using oracle forms 11g with weblogic 10.3.5 at windows 7.Through googaling I know how to create a database block,forms clause data block and stored procedure based datablock in oracle forms.I want to know that as in case of Database based datablock, could we commit form either on editing records or on insertion or deletion in data block.
I tried this but got error frm 40501.If we can perform editing and creation in such type of datablock then please tell me how.
Thank You,
regards
aaditya

When I base my datablock on a query using the "From Clause" property of the block query data source in the oracle Forms 6i,
I get the strange error
"ORA-00928: missing SELECT keyword"
The query I see in the Display Error in Help Menu is
SELECT DAY_NUMBER,CONSULTANT_ID,EVENT_ID,EVENT_NUMBER,SESSION_NUMBER,HOURS_UNPAID,HOURS_PAID,PAPERWORK FROM (EVENT_ASSIGNED_CONSULTANT) WHERE (CONSULTANT_ID=:1)
What should I do now?????? Please remove the brackets () from the table name.
Instead of (EVENT_ASSIGNED_CONSULTANT) use
EVENT_ASSIGNED_CONSULTANT

Abnormal termination of runform when PROCEDURE is used as Query Data Source Type

I created a package with a procedure that returns a table of records. This
procedure tested OK in SQLPLUS. I then created a form and in this form a block
that used this procedure as the Query Data Source Name, and of course the Query
Data Source Type has been set to PROCEDURE. This form runs beautifully when the
number of records returned is small (a few hundreds). But when the number of
records is large (I have one case where the total number of records returned
was 11099) then it will crash. I also found that whenever this happens, there
will be a file in my C:\TEMP with funny namessuch as s90, s81, etc. They are
always the same size (5008 kBytes).
Anyone any ideas?

Create a view and base your block on view.That could solve the problem unless you have other requirements specifically.<HR></BLOCKQUOTE>
Chandra,
Thank you for your suggestion. Unfortunatel, we have requirements that translate to logics too complicated to be handled by views, and that is why we use PROCEDURES. This actually works very well and very fast, except when we have lots of records returned, then it fails. I am just wondering whether this is a configuration problem ???

Frm-41380 error - cannot set the blocks query data source

Fairly new forms so bare with me. I am creating a form based on one table. This table has one column that is a nested table.
table name: szrtime
table columns: szrtime_code, szrtime_styp_list
szrtime_styp_list is a table of varchar2(1).
main block is szvtime_block
the block that contains the nested table is szvtime_styp_block
I read that I could use a WHEN_NEW_RECORD_INSTANCE trigger on the main block to display the related nested table. I have tried the folllowing:
Declare
select_stmt Varchar2(512) ;
Begin
If :szvtime_block.szvtime_code Is not null Then
     select_stmt := '(SELECT column_value FROM TABLE ( SELECT szrtime_styp_list FROM szrtime WHERE szrtime_code = ''' || :SZVTIME_BLOCK.SZVTIME_CODE || '''))';
     Go_Block('SZVTIME_STYP_BLOCK' );
     Clear_Block ;
     message('select_stmt = '||select_stmt);
Set_Block_Property( 'SZVTIME_STYP_BLOCK', QUERY_DATA_SOURCE_NAME, select_stmt ) ;
Execute_Query ;
Go_Block('SZVTIME_BLOCK') ;
Else
Go_Block('SZVTIME_STYP_BLOCK' );
Clear_Block ;
Go_Block('SZVTIME_BLOCK') ;
End if ;
End ;
The result is the frm-41380 error.
I have tried change the query data source type on the nested table block to Table or From-clause but did not help. The select statement that is valid and returns the correct result in Toad.
Any suggestions on what to look for? Thank you.
Todd

> But what is giving me pause is that the user will be updating, deleting, and inserting
into this table and, of course, the nested table column.
It would give me pause, too. I've never used nested tables, so I poked around in Forms on-line help. In Forms 6i, it specifically states that Forms does not support the Nested Table structure.
In Forms 10g help, it describes Nested Table structures, but says NOTHING about how a form would handle it. And that implies to me that it is still not supported. So good luck.
In addition to creating the view, you may need to provide your own nested table updating procedures via a package on the server which your form can call. I know Forms supports passing pl/sql tables ("indexed by binary_integer"), so you could pass your nested table back and forth between the package and the form in that format.

About Query Data Source Columns property

Hello everyone,
I'm new to Oracle Forms version 10.1.0.2.
When I create a data block based on a table using Data Block Wizard, the block's Query Data Source Columns property is automatically populated with column definition entries corresponding to the columns of the base table.
I tried making changes to these entries, for example by changing the data types to wrong data types or even deleting them, and I found that those changes had no effect on the block at all. The form was still working as I wanted.
Please explain what is exactly the role of the block's Query Data Source Columns property.
Thank you very much.
p.s: The F1 key help says "The Query Data Source Columns property is valid only when the Query Data Source Type property is set to Table, Sub-query, or Procedure". So, please explain in each context of Query Data Source Type.

p.s: The F1 key help says "The Query Data Source Columns property is valid only when the Query Data Source Type property is set to Table, Sub-query, or Procedure". So, please explain in each context of Query Data Source Type.
IMHO those properties are very self-explaining: It is the data source of the block, or in other terms: how it is populated.
Table means the data block is based on a table and subsequently will be populated by
select col1, col2, col3 from your_table
With sub-query the block will be populated with your subquery; forms will issue
select col1, col2, col3 from (
-- this is your subquery
select col1, col2, col3 from tab1, tab2 where [....]
With Procedure in short you'd have a stored procedure which returns a ref cursor and the block will be populated by the ref cursor.
As for your question about the name: this actually should matter; the default is NULL which means that there needs to be a column which has the exact name as the item so in the above sample with table the item associated with your_table.col1 should be named col1. If it isn't the property should be named like the column. If this property also doesn't reflect the name this shouldn't work IMO.
cheers

Query data source type = procedure or from clause

1)I have a form where a block is based on a from clause. In the source name I entered a simple sql statement.
Isn't the items suppose to show without any other action or
WHAT ELSE DO I NEED TO DO IN ORDER TO SEE THE BLOCK ITEMS EQUIVALENT TO THE COLUMNS IN THE QUERY?
2) I have a form where a block is based on a procedure.
First I created a package in a program unit with the procedures query_procedure, insert_procedure, update_procedure, delete_procedure and lock_procedure.
Then I set the query data source name to the package query_procedure. The columns and arguments were automatically filled by Forms - they are fine as well.
Forms automatically created the block triggers insert-procedure,delete-procedure, update-procedure and lock-procedure.
Everything seems to be fine but when I run the form and execute the query I get frm 40505 - unable to perform query.
What am i doing wrong?
This is the package:

for ur q1:
create the text items manually in the layout editor or in the obj navigator then specify there properties manually in the the pallette.
database item = yes
column name = field name in ur select statement
for q2:
try running the form again and press F8 then if an error occur press F1 or shift F1 to show the error in ur code.
i suspect u forgot to specify a value for the in parameter the reason why u get an error that is specify the actual parameter for ur in argument then press F8.

Problem during the setting the query data source name in forms 6i

We are now doing assignments in forms 6i actually there is a problem during setting the query data source name in run time.
The problem is
declare
v_query varchar2(200),
begin
v_query :='(select empno,ename,deptno from emp where hiredate =' || control .value1 ||')';
go_block('emp');
set_block_property('emp',query_data_source_name,v_query);
end;
that bolded area is the problem that ia varchar value the single qoutes embedded with that value.how can i embedded single qoutes in that concatenation.
That is now query will run like select empno,ename,deptno from emp where hiredate =control.value
But we need like select empno,ename,deptno from emp where hiredate ='control.value'

Thanks for your response
We fixed the error
and the answer is
declare
v_query varchar2(200),
begin
v_query :='(select empno,ename,deptno from emp where hiredate = ' ' ' || control .value1 ||' ' ' ) ' ;
go_block('emp');
