BCS External Content Type using Stored Procedure with parameter

I have a requirement wherein I will be using External Content Type (BCS) using a Stored Procedure.
The stored procedure has parameters.
I have set up Read List and Read Item
However, when I visited my list, I cannot enter any parameter.
Can you show me a guide on how to configure this with parameters?
Thanks!

BCS external content type migration

Hi,
We are migrating from SP 2010 to SP2013 via simple content db backup restore method.
2010 site has external lists connected to SQL DB via BCS.
When we took backup of whole 2010 content db and restored to 2013 n done upgrade. Post that I have noticed none of External content type is available in 2013. All the external lists are broken.
Is any way to migrate External content types from 2010 to 2013.

Hi Praful,
The external content types are stored in the Business Connectivity Services(BCS) application database, so if you only migrating content database the external content types will not be available in the new environment.
You need to detach the BCS application database from the old environment and then copy and attach the database to the new environment.

External Content Type Using SQL

I’m trying to setup an external content type using just SharePoint designer.
I will need to be able to show other individual within the organization how to create these content types so getting it to work with just SharePoint designer is the goal.
No Programming involved please.
Abbreviated Steps I have taken
The account that we will use to connect to 2012 SQL server has been created and the correct permissions have been granted to the database.
The secure store service account has been created and setup
Go into SharePoint designer 2010 to create the external content type using
Impersonated Custom Identity and inputting in the username and password that was setup in SQL server and added to the secure store credentials for the secure store service. I receive error cannot login with the provided credentials.
I have searched the web trying to correct this issue and cannot find anything that will assist.
Everything either shows you to connect with windows identity (not an option) or breezes past this issue.

To connect as an impersonated custom identity you have to:
1. Be sure SQL login on SQL Server uses SQL authentication
(not Windows one!)
2. Create target application in Secure Store with:
a. Target app type - "Group"
b. Field types - Username and
Password
3. Don't forget to grant required permission to a new Traget Application.
Here is a good guide (look at steps 4-8):

How to use stored procedure with many return results and variable with perl

Hi everybody,
i´m writtting now a Perl programm, wich use a oracle stored procedure with more than 1 result and 1 variable(I have to return 2 variable fpr each result). I don´t now how I can get it.I already search the web but I didn´t find.
My example:
PROCEDURE get_projects_and_sub_projects (
v_project_id IN INTEGER,
v_project_c_id OUT INTEGER,
v_project_id_find OUT VARCHAR2
IS
BEGIN
SELECT c_id, proj_id
INTO
v_project_c_id,
v_project_id_find
FROM t_projet
WHERE t_projet .ksa_pro_art_kbz = 'KU'
AND t_projet.proj_id LIKE v_project_id || '%';
EXCEPTION
WHEN NO_DATA_FOUND
THEN
v_project_c_id := NULL;
v_project_id_find := NULL;
WHEN OTHERS
THEN
kmessages.error (NULL,
'get_projects_and_sub_projects',
'Project-Name: ' || v_project_id,
'Errornumber: '
|| SQLCODE
|| ' Error: '
|| SQLERRM,
TRUE,
TRUE
raise_application_error (-20001,
'Error '
|| SQLCODE
|| ' get_projects_and_sub_projects: '
|| SQLERRM,
TRUE
END get_projects_and_sub_projects;
in Perl Program:
sub get_projects_unterprojects_name($$){
my ($db_handle, $proj_name_id) = @_; #$db_handle ist the DB Connection return value
my $db_proj_c_id;
my $db_proj_name;
eval{ my $csr = $db_handle->prepare(q{
BEGIN
pro_doc_ber.get_projects_and_sub_projects(:proj_name_id, :db_proj_c_id, :db_proj_name);
END;
# parameter value
$csr->bind_param(":proj_name_id", $proj_name_id);
# return values
$csr->bind_param_inout(":db_proj_c_id", \$db_proj_c_id, 11);
$csr->bind_param_inout(":db_proj_name", \$db_proj_name, 20);
$csr->execute(); };
But this didn´t work. Could somebody give me some idea?
Thank you
Felx

Some additional info would probably be helpful.
What is your programming enviironment? Java?
In any case I suspect that you will need to use the OCI to deal with specific Oracle types such as user defined object types -- thats not standard ANSI SQL.
In Java I believe you need to use OPAQUE, there are some examples out there. I'm mostly a PL/SQL developer with some Java expereince so others here are more qualifed to answer your question more directly.

Have you set up a wildcard DNS entry for the spapps.com domain?
Also if you're trying to connect from the server you might be hitting loop back check issues.

XI/PI: jdbc receiver using stored procedure with arrays

The company needs an interface to search for header data and detail to a legacy system.
This interface from ERP to legacy system is synchronous and uses stored procedure.
The definition of the stored procedure is as follows:
PROCEDURE
Generar_Detalle_Vtas_Pagadas
    (p_cvendedor                 IN bdc_vendedores.cvendedor%TYPE,
    p_fdesde                   IN DATE,
    p_fhasta                     IN DATE,
    v_encabezado_ct           OUT encabezado_ct,
    v_detalle_vtas_pagadas_ct OUT detalle_vtas_pagadas_ct,
    err_num                 OUT NUMBER
Data types used in stored procedure:
TYPE encabezado_ct AS OBJECT
( CREGION         NUMBER(22),
XREGION         VARCHAR2(50),
CMERCADO        NUMBER(22),
XMERCADO        VARCHAR2(50),
CTVENDEDOR      VARCHAR2(5),
XCTVENDEDOR     VARCHAR2(50),
XDENOMINACION   VARCHAR2(15))
TYPE detalle_vtas_pagadas_ct AS OBJECT
(     CITEM           VARCHAR2(10),
      XIDENTIFICADOR VARCHAR2(15),
      XCONTRATO       VARCHAR2(15),
      XVALOR          VARCHAR2(30),
      CCUENTA         VARCHAR2(15),
      FACTIVACION     DATE,
      XDOMINIO        VARCHAR2(30),
      CCED            VARCHAR2(20),
      XCLIENTE        VARCHAR2(161),
      CCPO            VARCHAR2(60) )
As shown, this has three input parameters varchar and date respectively and has three output parameters, two of which are defined with a data
type such as table and the other number.
The problem is to define the signature of the stored procedure in XI when defining the data type request, the message type and mapping system
legacy because the data type is not supported (tables: detalle_vtas_pagadas_ct,encabezado_ct )

FORM 2:
defined as an array, but the error tells me that we need to define the attribute either input or output

Using Stored Procedures with TopLink / JPA : Success explanation

For those who have to use Stored Procedures in TopLink this is my success history :
To call an Stored Procedure from the persistence, we have to use the direct JDBC connection because my TopLink version ( Essentials 10g ) ? to date ( 10g ) does not have support for Stored Procedures.
Here is my code :

I have my entity manager setup in a singleton.
I'm finding it's costly to generate the emf, but if I don't close the em (enitity manager) and emf (entity manager factory) my open cursor count climbs until I exceed the max number of open cursors on the database (11g RAC)
I'm committing the connection, and uow, and closing the em at the end of each call.
But until I close the emf, the open cursors aren't released.
TransactionhistoryPkg tranPkg = new TransactionhistoryPkg(conn); //Class created over database package via JPublisher
tranPkg.transactionhistoryInsSp(insertTrans.getCardId()); // executes db package
tranPkg.closeConnection();
conn.commit();
uow.commit();
uow.getAccessor().decrementCallCount();
em.close();
Am I missing something really obvious here??

Using stored procedures with a timestamp parameter with Delphi and ADO

Dear Oracle experts,
I have a problem concerning using a stored procedure with Delphi.
I try to use a stored procedure which hast two input parameters ( a integer and a timestamp).
The timestamp parameter is my problem since I would like to use the "to_timestamp"
Oracle-function to create the timestamp parameter to be inserted into my procedure.
If I insert the to_timestamp statement as a adodatetime I have to perform the conversion to the oracle timestamp in my application.
If I want to use the to_timestamp statement I have to use the ftstring datatype but in that case I get an error because I use a string as input for my procedure were it awaits a timestamp.
So the problem seems to be that the function call "to_timestamp" is not interpreted if it is transferred through my ADO component.
Do you know how to use a procedure with Delphi (ADO) with a function as input parameter ?
Best regards,
Daniel Wetzler
P.S. :
This is the Delphi code to use my Procedure.
FactsTempDS:=TADODataset.Create(nil);
Sproc1 := TAdoStoredProc.Create(nil);
Sproc1.Connection := TDBConnection(strlistConnectionstrings.objects[iConnectionIndex]).Connection;
Sproc1.ProcedureName := 'ECSPACKAGE.PROCFINDINITIALSWITCHSTATE';
Sproc1.Parameters.CreateParameter ('SwitchID',ftInteger,pdinput,0,0);
//Sproc1.Parameters.CreateParameter ('StartTime',ftdatetime,pdinput,50,0);
Sproc1.Parameters.CreateParameter ('StartTime',ftString,pdinput,50,0);
Sproc1.Parameters.Findparam('SwitchID').value:=SwitchID;
Sproc1.Parameters.FindParam('StartTime').Value:= 'to_timestamp(''2005/12/30 19:36:21'', ''YYYY/MM/DD HH:MI:SS'')';
Sproc1.CursorType := ctKeyset;
Sproc1.ExecuteOptions:=[];
Sproc1.Open;
Sproc1.Connection := nil;
FactsTempDS.Recordset:= sproc1.Recordset;
if FactsTempDS.RecordCount=0
then raise Exception.Create('No line switch variable found for switch '+IntToStr(SwitchID)+' before starttime. Check BDE dump filter.')

"The server was unavle to process the request due to an internal error. For more information about the error, either turn on IncludeExceptionDetails (either from ServiceBehaviorAttribute or from the <serverDebug> configuration behavior) on

Hi,
Based on your description, you encountered the error when you create the content type.
You can turn on IncludeExceptionDetails or use Service Trace Viewer Tool to see the details about the error.
There is a similar case:

Please help - Can not use stored procedure with CTE and temp table in OLEDB source

Hi,
I am going to create a simple package. It has OLEDB source , a Derived transformation and a OLEDB Target database.
Now, for the OLEDB Source, I have a stored procedure with CTE and there are many temp tables inside it. When I give like EXEC <Procedure name> then I am getting the error like ''The metadata could not be determined because statement with CTE.......uses
temp table.
Please help me how to resolve this ?

you write to the temp tables that get created at the time the procedure runs I guess
Instead do it a staged approach, run Execute SQL to populate them, then pull the data using the source.
You must set retainsameconnection to TRUE to be able to use the temp tables

Using stored procedures with dabasae controls

Hi. We have two questions.
Answer 1:
We are working with Sybase and we are trying to use stored procedures (SP) with databse controls but we don't know how to obtain SP's return. We can to use SP normally if that SP don't have any return. Next example works fine but "stored_procedure_name" actually returns an number (error code) and we need to obtain it:
* @jc:sql statement="{call stored_procedure_name (?)}"
Answer 2:
Do you know how to call SP dinamically? This mean to call an sql statemente where stored_procedure_name and its parameters could be pased as paremeters. That looks as:
* @jc:sql statement="{call {sql: spName} {sql: listOfParameters}}"
Thak you very much for your comments.

How to use Stored Procedures with SQLServer2005 and WAS 6.x

Hi All
I've got a problem, during the call to a StoredProcedure in SQLServer i've get the next message:
Exception : com.microsoft.sqlserver.jdbc.SQLServerException: Fetch size cannot be negative
The stored procedure is working correctly if I run my process out of WAS 6.x but if I get a connection from the pool the process don't work.
Help please, thanks.

Your procedure has a single OUT parameter ... and yet it appears you are trying to stuff something into it ... that is never going to work. Additionally everything else about your stored procedure would have gotten you a FAIL grade were you been in my beginning PL/SQL class.
The syntax, a cursor loop, is obsolete and has been for more than 10 years.
The formatting and use of case makes even the few lines written hard to read.
And either no commit ever takes place or you are trying to do incremental commits in origseq: Both of which are bad practice.
This code should use BULK COLLECT to collect all relevant records into an array and then pass the array to origseq ... no loops ... and end with a commit.
