APD: Query keyfigure fetches no values

Hello experts,
I am using a query as inforprovider in an APD. The query has 2 keyfigures and several other characteristics. All data is properly populated when the query is executed independently. But when i see intermediate result of query result in APD, one out of the 2 kefigures shows blank values. All other fields are working fine. As such, this value is not being passes to the target in APD.
Please guide.
Thanks,
Abhishek.

Hi Rick,
As mentioned in the post above - 'I randomly created a formula in the query over the volume key figure which was not showing value in APD earlier. But I did not use this formula in the APD, I am still using the old key figure. Surprisingly, this resolved the issue.' Not sure of the reason though.
Regards,
Abhishek.

Query should fetch single value

Hi,
I have created a Key figure with exception aggregate as Last value with reference char as order.
I have data like
Ord date KY KY2
01   ...    22   221
01 ...     22   223
02 ...     23   234
I want to get in the query KY= 22 for Ord=01 but i am getting KY= 44.
The exception aggregate is not working. IS there any other option.
Thanks,

Hi,
If you keep the Order no in the rows, then take Line item no as exception char.

Fetching multiple values from XML node

Hi,
I have the below XML string / Data stored in one of a table column. I am trying to extract the values of ITEM_NAME node. using the query :
select extractvalue(xml_data, '/BILL/BILL_DTL/RECORD/ITEM_NAME') from XMLTable;
If i use this query i am getting the error as : ORA-19025 EXTRACTVALUE returns value of only one node
XML String / XML data
<BILL>
.....<BILL_NO>1000</BILL_NO>
.....<SRNO>3456</SRNO>
.....<BILL_DTL>
........<RECORD>
...........<LINE_NO>1</LINE_NO>

........</RECORD>
........<RECORD>
..........<LINE_NO>2</LINE_NO>
..........<ITEM_NAME>NISSAN CEDRIC</ITEM_NAME>
.......</RECORD>
.....</BILL_DTL>
</BILL>
The structure of the table is given below.
SQL> DESC XMLTABLE;
Column_Name ---------------Type
DOC_ID -------------------------NUMBER
XML_DATA --------------------XMLTYPE
What will be the query to fetch the values from the ITEM_NAME node.
Thanks & Regards

A late answer but just to show that it can be done with XMLTable (the built-in Oracle function) when you expect to return multiple rows from one input.
WITH XMLTable AS
(SELECT XMLTYPE('<BILL>
   <BILL_NO>1000</BILL_NO>
   <SRNO>3456</SRNO>
   <BILL_DTL>
      <RECORD>
         <LINE_NO>1</LINE_NO>
         <ITEM_NAME>TOYOTA COROLLA</ITEM_NAME>
      </RECORD>
      <RECORD>
         <LINE_NO>2</LINE_NO>
         <ITEM_NAME>NISSAN CEDRIC</ITEM_NAME>
          </RECORD>
     </BILL_DTL>
</BILL>') xml_data
   FROM dual
SELECT item_name
FROM XMLTable,
       XMLTable('/BILL/BILL_DTL/RECORD'

Weird ORA-01406: fetched column value was truncated error for SELECT query

DB version:10gR2
When one of our application fires the below query, we get
ORA-01406: fetched column value was truncatederror.
select     trk_dtl,
     trk_type,
     trk_id,
     trk_desc,
from     shp_dtl
where     shp_type = 'HN'
and     shp_type = 828;The documentation says
Cause:In a host language program, a FETCH operation was forced to truncate a character string. The program buffer area for this column was not large enough to contain the entire string. The cursor return code from the fetch was +3.But when the application is pointed to an identical schema in the same instance, we don't get this error. So, this has got nothing to do client application as the documentation says.
Any idea what other possibilities are there?

Query help - Fetch employees working on two consecutive weekends(SAT/SUN)

Hello Gurus,
I have the following requirement and i need your help on this.
We have a table with all employees effort logged in for the days they have worked. a sample data is given below
TD_date     Emp_id     Effort     Archive_month
2-Mar-13     123     8     Mar-13
9-Mar-13     123     8     Mar-13

16-Mar-13     312     8     Mar-13
In the above sample data, we have employee 123 who worked on consecutive SATURDAY and 312 who worked on consecutive weekends (9th, 10th and 16th March) but the employee 213 worked on 1st weekend and 4th weekend of the month(Archive_month). So the output should return the employees who worked on two consecutive weekends as below.
Emp_id
123
312
I have written a query to fetch all employees who worked only on a SAT or SUN which is given below, but i am not able to return the employees who worked on consecutive weekends and i need your help.
select emp_id, count(*)
from timesheet_archive
where archive_month = '03/2013'
and trim(to_char(td_date,'DAY')) in ('SATURDAY','SUNDAY')
group by emp_id having count(*) > 1
order by td_date desc
Please help me with an approach in SQL or PL/SQL to generate a report of employees who worked on two consecutive weekends.

Please help..it's Urgent..How to fetch the value from table row from Page

Hi,
I have created a table with 2 LOV's , LOV2 is dependent on LOV2.
Here I can not use the general Dependent LOV concept, as these values are coming from 2 different LookUps.
I am not able to fetch the user input for LOV1 (from page) .that is why not able to set the where cluse fro 2nd LOVVO.
I have used this code:
if ("ViolationCat".equals(lovInputSourceId)) {
OAMessageLovInputBean msglov =
(OAMessageLovInputBean)webBean.findChildRecursive("ViolationCat");
// String p_violation_category = "'"+(String)msglov.getValue(pageContext)+"'";
String p_violation_category =
(String)msglov.getValue(pageContext);
// System.out.println(" p_violation_category =" +
// p_violation_category);
String v_violation_category = "";
//System.out.println("vcat=" + vCat);
OAViewObject violationVO =
(OAViewObject)am.findViewObject("SNI_Violation_DtlsVO2");
Number vcatViolationIdnum =
(Number)violationVO.getCurrentRow().getAttribute("ViolationId");
String vcatViolationId = "" + vcatViolationIdnum;
pageContext.putTransactionValue("vcatViolationId",
vcatViolationId);
pageContext.putTransactionValue("p_violation_category",
p_violation_category);
String query =
" SELECT LOOKUP_CODE, \n" + " MEANING, \n" +
" LOOKUP_TYPE \n" +
" FROM apps.fnd_lookup_values \n" +
" WHERE LOOKUP_TYPE ='SNI_VIOLATION_CATEGORY' AND MEANING=?";
PreparedStatement ps = txn.createPreparedStatement(query, 1);
try {
ps.setString(1, p_violation_category);
ResultSet rs = ps.executeQuery();
//System.out.println("before while,");
// rs.next();
// v_violation_category = rs.getString("LOOKUP_CODE");
// System.out.println("v_violation_category="+v_violation_category);
while (rs.next()) {
//System.out.println("inside while");
v_violation_category = rs.getString("LOOKUP_CODE");
// System.out.println("v_violation_category=" +
// v_violation_category);
ps.close();
} //try ends
catch (Exception e) {
e.getMessage();
//System.out.println("in catch.." + e.getMessage());
OAViewObject subCatVO =
(OAViewObject)am.findViewObject("SNI_ViolationSubCategoryVO1");
//System.out.println("get VO before where clause: subCatVO::"+subCatVO.getQuery());
subCatVO.setWhereClause("LOOKUP_TYPE like '%SNI_VIOL_SUB_CAT_" +
v_violation_category + "'");
System.out.println("after set where clause VO: subCat VO::" +
subCatVO.getQuery());
subCatVO.executeQuery();
// System.out.println("query of subCat VO::" +
// subCatVO.getQuery());
//End of sub category Validation
It is working fine only for the 1st row of teh table.
I have tried to fetch the value using :
String violationCategory = (String)violationVO.getCurrentRow().getAttribute("ViolationCategory");
String violationSubcategory = (String)violationVO.getCurrentRow().getAttribute("ViolationSubcategory");
But it is fetching null value.
Please tell me how can I able to fetch the values.

Hi
in your scenarion,first u have to identify the particular row of table where the changes is being made ,u have to use this code .when u select the lov ,first it will give the row refernce and then u have to catch the lov event
OAApplicationModule am =
(OAApplicationModule)pageContext.getApplicationModule(webBean);
String event = pageContext.getParameter("event");
if ("<ItemPPREventName>").equals(event))
// Get the identifier of the PPR event source row
String rowReference =
262
pageContext.getParameter(OAWebBeanConstants.EVENT_SOURCE_ROW_REFERENCE);
Serializable[] parameters = { rowReference };
// Pass the rowReference to a "handler" method in the application module.
am.invokeMethod("<handleSomeEvent>", parameters);
In your application module's "handler" method, add the following code to access the source row:
OARow row = (OARow)findRowByRef(rowReference);
if (row != null)

Help Needed: Facing the error ORA-01406: fetched column value was truncated

Hi Everyone,
When I run a particular PL/SQL query using Oracle 9i ODBC driver, it is working fine and fetching me the desired results.
However, when I run the same query using the Oracle 10g ODBC driver, I am getting the error: ORA-01406: fetched column value was truncated.
I have checked all the fields of the table and they are well within the allowable limit.
Can you please let us know what needs to be done to resolve this issue?

Well it's obviously a problem with the client software. Doesn't Datastage have some way of configuring these things?

It is comparing the selected value against the List<SelectItem> returned by getSetoresOrigem() as it is during the apply request values phase of the form submit request.Ok. That's what I supposed JSF was doing.
BalusC wrote:
If the selected value isn't in there, then you will get this error.I can understand this, but is this right? As I said, the old value isn't really there because I changed the list values to new ones. But the new value (the value of fSetorOrigem ) corresponds to a value that exist in the new list items, so a valid value. So JSF is not considering that I also changed the list, not just the value. It is comparing the new value with the old list, not the new one. Acting like this JSF is making the page looks like a static HTML page, not a dynamic one. If I can't change the list and the value, what's the point of that? In my point of view I'm not doing anything wrong, I'm not violating any JSF rules.

Problem fetching multiple values in a TIMESTAMP column

Hi all,
I'm having a problem trying to fetch multiple values in a TIMESTAMP column. I can successfully fetch the TIMESTAMP column if I do the following:
OCIDateTime tstmpltz = (OCIDateTime )NULL;
rc = OCIDescriptorAlloc(p_env,(dvoid **)&tstmpltz, OCI_DTYPE_TIMESTAMP,
0, (dvoid **)0);
rc = OCIDefineByPos(p_sql, &p_dfn, p_err, 1, &tstmpltz, sizeof(tstmpltz),
SQLT_TIMESTAMP, 0, 0, 0, OCI_DEFAULT);
This works fine. I can then do what I want with the OCIDateTime variable tstmpltz, like convert it to a text string, etc.
But what I am trying to do is fetch many rows of data that could include a TIMESTAMP column. For character columns this is no problem. I simply allocate a buffer of the correct width and length and then do my OCIDefineByPos to point to the start and the character data gets filled in. Same for numeric columns as well.
I can do this with a TIMESTAMP column if I do the OCIDefineByPos with a column type of SQLT_CHR. But the problem I'm running into when I do things this way is if I fetch a Timestamp value that is before 1950 I believe it is, I get back the wrong century. So for instance 1900 comes back as 2000. I think this is because the default date format when fetching is a 2 digit year. So I've tried to the do following:
long fetchrows = 50;
unsigned char *descpp1;
descpp1 = (unsigned char *)calloc(fetchrows, sizeof (OCIDateTime *));
int i;
for (i = 0; i != fetchrows; i++)
/* Allocate descriptors */
rc = OCIDescriptorAlloc((void *)p_env,(void **)&descpp1[i * sizeof (OCIDateTime *)], OCI_DTYPE_TIMESTAMP,
0,(void **)0);
// Bind the column
rc = OCIDefineByPos(p_sql, &p_dfn, p_err, 1, descpp1, sizeof(descpp1),
SQLT_TIMESTAMP, 0, 0, 0, OCI_DEFAULT);
rc = OCIStmtExecute(p_svc, p_sql, p_err, (ub4) 50, (ub4) 0,
(CONST OCISnapshot *) NULL, (OCISnapshot *) NULL,
OCI_DEFAULT);
And I get an "ORA-01403: no data found" error. I'm missing something here but I can't figure out what it is. Is this proper way to fetch multiple Timestamp columns ?
Thanks,
Nick

Hi Nick,
I think the "trick" here is that when you call OCIDescriptorAlloc normally you would pass a pointer to an OCIDateTime pointer (i.e. OCIDateTime**). However, you're being sneaky here and using unsigned char * with malloc/calloc for the reasons you have already mentioned. So, that changes things a bit because in this scenario the "destination address" where OCI is going to put the address for the OCIDateTime descriptor is in the memory you have dynamically allocated rather than in the target pointer of an OCIDateTime** declaration. So far so good, but the problem, as you've discovered, comes about when you need to get the OCIDateTime* to pass into the OCIDateTimeToText function. In your call you have this:
(OCIDateTime *)descpp1[0 * sizeof (OCIDateTime *)]However, that isn't the address of the descriptor it's a pointer to the address so, depending on your actual calls, etc. you'll either get a memory violation or an invalid OCI handle error. What you can do is get the address from that memory location and stuff it into a proper OCIDateTime* and then it can be used in the OCIDateTimeToText function.
I'm probably doing a terrible job explaining it, but I have cobbled together a sample which does what you want (at least as far as I can tell). Of course, being OCI, there's a fair bit of code, but here's the main parts.
I created a table called "ts_test" that has the following structure and sample data:
SQL> desc ts_test
Name             Null?    Type
TS_ID                     NUMBER
TS_VALUE                  TIMESTAMP(3)
SQL> select * from ts_test order by ts_id;
     TS_ID TS_VALUE
         1 01-JAN-09 08.00.00.123 AM
         2 01-JAN-09 12.34.56.789 PM
         3 01-JAN-09 04.46.00.046 PM
         4 01-JAN-09 10.00.00.314 PM
4 rows selected.I use the same query as above in the OCI sample code to get the values back out of the table.

...Obviously there's lots left out, but hopefully that can be of some help. I've not really thoroughly reviewed the code so there may be a few things to fix. Anyway, using the above table and data the full sample outputs this on my system:
Timestamp value[1]: 01-JAN-09 08.00.00.123 AM
Timestamp value[2]: 01-JAN-09 12.34.56.789 PM
Timestamp value[3]: 01-JAN-09 04.46.00.046 PM
Timestamp value[4]: 01-JAN-09 10.00.00.314 PM
ENTER to continue...Thanks,

Report error: ORA-20001: Error fetching column value

Hi,
I try to build a tabular form with 1 column as "Select List (Query based on LOV)". This select list should display round about 1.100 rows in the LOV ordered by name. So I got the error: report error:
ORA-20001: Error fetching column value: ORA-06502: PL/SQL: numerischer oder Wertefehler: character string buffer too small
When I try tho define this column as Popup LOV (Query based LOV) only the the ID of the attribute and not the display value appeares in the row. The LOV it self displays the display number and not the the ID. I want to see the display value in the column of the particular row and the LOV and return the ID to the record by insert or update as it is normal in LOVs of form regions.
This lot of rows in the LOV is necessary because it is a part to develop formulas like (number_of_acquisitions - number_of_old_parts)/100 or so. The most formulas will be more complex. In the database there should only be the ID as reference to the attributes.
Please help me to display the attribute bases on LOV in every particular row.
Thank you
Siegwin

In Apex 4 there is now a column type "Popup Key LOV (named LOV)" which is exactly what you are looking for.

Query on fetching the no.of days between Invoice date and due date in rtf template embedded BI Publisher Report

Hi Experts,
We have a requirement to fetch the value of 'No of days' between Invoice date and due date (Two variable date fields on the template) in an Analysis.
Please let me know the procedure of how to achieve the same.
Regards,
Rev

it's good for ideas but implementation a bit different
Oracle Business Intelligence Publisher Report Designer's Guide
This function provides a method to get the difference between two dates in the given locale. The dates need to be in "yyyy-MM-dd" format. This function supports only the Gregorian calendar. The syntax is as follows:
<?xdoxslt:date_diff(‘format’, ‘YYYY-MM-DD’, ‘YYYY-MM-DD’, $_XDOLOCALE, $_XDOTIMEZONE)?>
where
format is the time value for which the difference is to be calculated
Example:
<?xdoxslt:date_diff(‘d’, ‘2006-04-08’, ‘2006-04-01’, $_XDOLOCALE, ‘America/Los_Angeles’)?>
returns
-7

From two given tables, how do you fetch the values from two columns using values from one column(get values from col.A if col.A is not null and get values from col.B if col.A is null)?

From two given tables, how do you fetch the values from two columns using values from one column(get values from col.A if col.A is not null and get values from col.B if col.A is null)?

Hi,
Use NVL or COALESCE:
NVL (col_a, col_b)
Returns col_a if col_a is not NULL; otherwise, it returns col_b.
Col_a and col_b must have similar (if not identical) datatypes; for example, if col_a is a DATE, then col_b can be another DATE or it can be a TIMESTAMP, but it can't be a VARCHAR2.
For more about NVL and COALESCE, see the SQL Language manual: http://docs.oracle.com/cd/E11882_01/server.112/e26088/functions119.htm#sthref1310
I hope this answers your question.
If not, post a little sample data (CREATE TABLE and INSERT statements, relevant columns only) for all tables involved, and also post the results you want from that data.
Explain, using specific examples, how you get those results from that data.
Always say which version of Oracle you're using (e.g., 11.2.0.2.0).

Fetches more values into one variable

Hi, inside a cursor loop I'd like to assign, each fetch, a value to a variable, in order, at the end to have a collection of all the values fetched into the same variable.
The code is the following:
CREATE OR REPLACE procedure APPS.AAA as
v_pino varchar2(64);
CURSOR tks_opened_range IS
SELECT incident_number AS YP_TKS_OPENED_WITHIN_RANGE FROM cs.cs_incidents_all_b a, cs_incident_statuses_b b, Cs_Incident_Statuses_Tl c
WHERE b.incident_status_id = c.incident_status_id
AND a.incident_status_id = b.incident_status_id
AND (b.attribute1 <> '3' OR b.attribute1 IS NULL)
AND c.language = 'EL'
AND ((sysdate - to_date(incident_attribute_6, 'dd-mm-yyyy hh24:mi'))*1440) BETWEEN 1 AND 11111111111
AND incident_attribute_2 IN ('ΓΕΝΙΚΗ ΔΙΕΥΘΥΝΣΗ ΤΕΧΝΟΛΟΓΙΑΣ')
ORDER BY incident_number;
rec_tks_opened_range tks_opened_range%ROWTYPE;
begin
FOR rec_tks_opened_range IN tks_opened_range
LOOP
v_pino := rec_tks_opened_range.YP_TKS_OPENED_WITHIN_RANGE;
DBMS_OUTPUT.PUT_LINE('v_pino: ' || v_pino);
end loop;
end AAA;
This works with the variable v_pino!....but at the end, the value of the variable v_pino is ONLY the last fetched by the cursor.
Is there a way to declare a variable (or better a collection) or a new type in order to have all the data fetched into this variable and the end of the fetching ?
I need to know this trick because, after, I have to assign this variable to a pipelined table function.
Thanks in advance
Alex

Great Devang !! Thanks a lot ! It works ! Now I am able to retrieve all the values I need and store them into my variable gino
I searched on the note you mentioned in your mail in order to pass an array as a variable to a table function (PIPE ROW call), but I didn't find nothing about it.
Now I explain to you my situation.
I already implemented a table function that works perfectly. I have 2 cursors declared and 2 PIPE ROW calls.
FUNCTION statistic_report_2_1 (p_resolv_time_ll varchar2, p_resolv_time_ul varchar2, p_ypiresia varchar2)
RETURN xxi_statistic_rep_2_1_tab PIPELINED
IS
-- CURSORS FOR THE FIRST SHEET - Tickets opened per group and per duration
-- Cursor for tickets opened within 1 hour --
CURSOR tks_opened_1_h IS
SELECT incident_number AS YP_TKS_OPENED_WITHIN_1_HOUR
FROM cs.cs_incidents_all_b a, cs_incident_statuses_b b, Cs_Incident_Statuses_Tl c
WHERE b.incident_status_id = c.incident_status_id
AND a.incident_status_id = b.incident_status_id
AND (b.attribute1 <> '3' OR b.attribute1 IS NULL)
AND c.language = 'EL'
AND ((sysdate - to_date(incident_attribute_6, 'dd-mm-yyyy hh24:mi'))*1440) < 60
AND incident_attribute_2 IN (SELECT * FROM TABLE(CAST(xxi_szf_discoverer.ypiresia_values(p_ypiresia) AS xxi_ypiresia_list_tab)))
ORDER BY incident_number;
rec_tks_opened_1_h tks_opened_1_h%ROWTYPE;
-- Cursor for tickets opened between 1 hour and 3 hours --
CURSOR tks_opened_1_3_h IS
SELECT incident_number AS YP_TKS_OPENED_BE_1_3_HOURS FROM cs.cs_incidents_all_b a, cs_incident_statuses_b b, Cs_Incident_Statuses_Tl c
WHERE b.incident_status_id = c.incident_status_id
AND a.incident_status_id = b.incident_status_id
AND (b.attribute1 <> '3' OR b.attribute1 IS NULL)
AND c.language = 'EL'
AND ((sysdate - to_date(incident_attribute_6, 'dd-mm-yyyy hh24:mi'))*1440) BETWEEN 60 AND 179
AND incident_attribute_2 IN (SELECT * FROM TABLE(CAST(xxi_szf_discoverer.ypiresia_values(p_ypiresia) AS xxi_ypiresia_list_tab)))
ORDER BY incident_number;
rec_tks_opened_1_3_h tks_opened_1_3_h%ROWTYPE;
PRAGMA AUTONOMOUS_TRANSACTION;
BEGIN
-- FIRST SHEET OPEN CURSORS --
TICKETS NUMBER OPENED WITHIN 1 HOUR
FOR rec_tks_opened_1_h IN tks_opened_1_h
LOOP
PIPE ROW(stat_rep_2_1_type(
rec_tks_opened_1_h.YP_TKS_OPENED_WITHIN_1_HOUR
END LOOP;
-- TICKETS NUMBER OPENED BETWEEN 1 HOUR AND 3 HOURS --
FOR rec_tks_opened_1_3_h IN tks_opened_1_3_h
LOOP
PIPE ROW(stat_rep_2_1_type(
,rec_tks_opened_1_3_h.YP_TKS_OPENED_BE_1_3_HOURS));
END LOOP;
RETURN;
END statistic_report_2_1;
But, in this way and with this syntax, I obtain for each PIPE ROW call only one field filled each time, because I can’t call 2 cursors in a nested loop together (data duplication);
For example:
1st PIPE ROW call : only the first field is filled and into the second I have to put ‘’
2nd PIPE ROW call : only the second field is filled and into the first I have to put ‘’
….and I cant’ call with a single PIPE ROW call two cursor variables…..
Into a Discoverer report this data layout is really bad (you can imagine with thousand
of records).
For this reason I thought to use an array variable (gino) to pass to a single PIPE ROW call outside the cursor loop……but it doesn’t work !!!
Can you suggest me how to resolve this problem….if it possible ?
Did I have to declare other TYPE or collection ?
Thanks you so much
Alex
