Call query from database as item source

Hello!
I have a query that is too long to paste it as the record source for an Apex item. It exceeds the limit of 32K.
Is there a way to save that query at database level and call it from the apex item?
If there is, please be so kind and give a small example!
Thank you,
Sebastian

Hello,
Why not put that code into a PL/SQL packaged function and use the "PL/SQL Function Body" or "PL/SQL Function or Expression" types instead?
John.

Query from a huge data source

I am currently working on the query on the BO through a Java application. Following the sample procedure, I can perform a query to extract data from the built-in Universe e-fashion using the JDK-provided web services: QueryService and ReportEngine.
However, I encountered some problems when doing the same thing in a universe that contains million rows of data [let say Unvierse A]. I am not sure how the differences between the 2 universes affect the result.
I have tried several times like setting different query objects and query condition but the results still outputs error. There are some error messages I commonly found when I tried to execute the query from the Universe A.
DataProviderInformation boDataProviderInfo = boQuerySrv.createDataProvider(boUniverseUID, boQuerySpec, boRetProp);
DocumentInformation docInfo = objReportEngine.getDocumentInformation(boQueryDocRef, null, actions, null, retBOData);
org.apache.axis2.AxisFault: Read timed out

When I tried doing the same query job in QaaWS / Webi, the report result looks fine. Am I missing some setting in Java ?
Any help is greatly appreciated.

Calling javascript from swf (which is source file of frame) - problems with OPERA

hey,
right now i have the swf-file as the source file for a frame,
because i want the swf-width depend on the browser-size.
it looks kinda like this:
<frameset cols="10,*,10">
<frame src="border.htm" name="leftFrame">
<frame src="file.swf" name="mainFrame">
<frame src="border.htm" name="rightFrame">
</frameset>
from the swf i call a javascript-code that is located in the
'border.htm'
file.
the javascript simply opens a popup window.
function open_popup() {
MM_openBrWindow('popup.htm','pop','toolbar=no,location=no,status=no,menubar=no,scrollbars =no,resizable=no,width=400,height=500');}everything
works fine ine firefox, ie, netscape (at least in another tab),but
when it comes to the opera browser (and apparently also safari)i
don't get any reaction at all ...i told opera to allow
popup-windows, so that shouldnt be the reason.now i am thinking
maybe some browsers have a problem with callingjavascripts from
within swfs that are not located in that specifichtml-file?maybe
some of you encountered the same problem ...would be grateful for
any advices ...thanx,eva

Calling portlet from an image item

I have two image items and I want to call two report portlets such that If I
click on ImageA, it should call first report portlet and If I click on ImageB,
it should call 2nd report portlet on the same portlet reigon. I mean it should
hide and show the two report portlets on the same page and same region. This is
what I have done so far :-
(1) Created a content area
(2) Created a category
(3) Added two image items in that category
(4) Created two reports and published as portlets
Any help would be much apprecited.

Hi
But the values you have given are hardcoded what if i want to capture the value on which i click and then pass it as a parameter.

Query from a NTB item to retreive data block

I have two NTB text items. first i have enter values in, then i would like to take these values to query my block (table view)
the context of my form is:
Office{ salesmen---->{Agencies---->{customers and so one.
in my form I would like to allow to the user to enter the office code (from listArea) and choose the salesman code(from a LOV). (this part i got it).
From both values office code and salesman code I want to retreive all agencies, customers products and display them on my block.
the second is:
If i can do that, i would like to put a checkbox(table view) in front each row, so when i'll check a row I could take some values and query another table to display a detail form on new canva for this row.
I know I ask a lot, but you know i'm new in the oracle world
thanks

For your first requirement: Use a Pre-Query trigger to test if your Non-Base Table (NBT) items have values. If yes - use the SET_BLOCK_PROPERTY() built-in to add the values of these items to the default where clause of the base table block. For example:
/** Pre-Query trigger */
DECLARE
   vDefWhere      VARCHAR2(500) := GET_BLOCK_PROPERTY('PARENT_BLOCK',DEFAULT_WHERE);
BEGIN
   IF ( :Control_block.C$Office_code name IS NOT NULL ) THEN
      /* Assumes there is an existing WHERE Clause */
      vDefWhere := vDefWhere|| ' AND OFFICE_CODE = :control_block.c$office_code';
   END IF;
   IF ( :Control_block.C$Sales_code IS NOT NULL ) THEN
      vDefWhere := vDefWhere||' AND SALES_CODE = :control_block.c$sales_code';
   END IF;
END;As to the your second request, why not design your form so you have a section where you select your criteria, a section that displays the queries Parent record and then a section that displays the related Child data. Then create a relationship (see the relationship code of the BLOCK in the Forms Navigator) between the Parent block and the Child block. The relationship will handle synchronizing the Child block with the Parent block as the user navigates through the different Parent records. Your form would like something like this:
|---------------------------------------------------|
| Office Code[       ] Sales Code[       ]        |
|                                                   |
|--Parent Data--------------------------------------|
| Office Code Sales Code Item1   Item2   Item3    |
| [          ] [         ] [     ] [     ] [     ] ^|
| [          ] [         ] [     ] [     ] [     ] v|
|                                                   |
|----Child Data-------------------------------------|
|                                                   |
| Child1          Child2      Child3      Child4    |
| [             ] [         ] [         ] [     ] ^ |
| [             ] [         ] [         ] [     ]   |
| [             ] [         ] [         ] [     ]   |
| [             ] [         ] [         ] [     ]   |
| [             ] [         ] [         ] [     ] v |
|---------------------------------------------------|When the user selects an Office and Sales Code - the Parent record will be queried. The relationship will automatically query the child records and display the results in the Child Data section of the form. If the user selects the second Parent record the relationship automatically queries the child records and displays them in the Child Data section again. This makes for an easier form to develop and maintain.
Hope this helps.

Re-query from database?

Pardon this basic question!
Two users using BC4J against the same database, using Swing applications.
User A inserts a new record into table T. Commits changes.
Later, user B needs to update / access the new record in T. Neither user has logged off (if B exits the program and restarts it, they can see the new record, but this isn't a desirable solution).
The way things are right now, B can't see the new record as a result of BC4J caching.
What are my options?
Thanks!

You can reexecute the query for B to freshen all new/removed rows before update. Or if all the caches are in one VM (both A and B are connecting to BC4J apps in a pool in a javaVM), then you can use commitAndSync apis instead of commit() to sync up caches in all AMs in the pool.

List<TmpResPoints> result = (List<TmpResPoints>)uow.executeQuery(query);
uow.commit();
uow.release();
return result;
But size parameter "p_fa_id_list" is 0. (geting from temp table in Data base). this code in function >>
if p_fa_id_list is null then
put_msg ('CLOB is null!');
else
put_msg ('size CLOB: ' || dbms_lob.getlength (p_fa_id_list));
end if;)
How I can call this function from dataBase and get result?
thx,
Demka.

What is the SQL generated?
The argument should just be the Clob value (a String) not the domain object.
Also try addNamedArgument, and then pass the named argument to the query.

Help with Retrieve attributes from database

Hi,
I'm using filter "Retrieve from or write to database" with select query from database by selecting attributes as column names radio button.
I'm unable to get these user attributes with column names.
For eg : select tag from test_tag where rownum=1;
I was trying so that result can be used using tag attribute (${tag}).
Please help in this regard.
Thanks,
Vani

Hi Vani,
After the retrieve filter, add a Trace Filter and leave it as it is. Execute the policy once and in the trace data that now will be displayed there you should be able to read out the exact name and type of the parameter. This way of identifying data/parameters etc is a recommended way of working while developing! Copy paste the Trace Data from the Trace filter here if you need help!
Cheers,
Stefan

Query from a non database item

Hi everybody,
Can anybody please tell me how can i make any query from a non data base item .
Will you please let me know where to set the trigger or something else which will solve the problem.
Thanks and Regards
Anutosh Bhattacharya

Hi,
For the block you want to query on use PRE-QUERY trigger.
In the PRE-QUERY trigger use the
SET_BLOCK_PROPERTY ('BLOCK', DEFAULT_WHERE, 'your query condition');
Hope this helps.

Call BEX-Query from VBA with BEX-automatic login?

Hi,
I'm trying to call a query from VBA. I have two problems/questions:
1. Automatic login?
I want to do an automatic login. I found this peace of code here, but I get an error:
Public Function LogonToYourBW()
' create Logon & RFC-Handle
logonToBW = False clear connect Flag the flag can be used to find out if connected or not
    'load SAP functionality by opening BEX file ( use your installation path)
        Workbooks.Open (c:\sappc\bw\sapbex.xla)
    With Run("sapbex.xla!sapbexGetConnection") call the connection
       ' Set the params for Auto logon
       .client = YOUR CLIENT NO
       .user = YOUR BW USER
       .Password = YOUR BW PWD I recommend to create a dummy reporting user for this task
       .Language = YOUR LANGUAGE YOU LIKE TO USE FOR QUERY DISPLAY ( i.E. EN)
       .SystemNumber = YOUR SYSTEM NO
       .ApplicationServer = YOUR SERVER Name OR IP-ADDRESS
       .UseSAPLOgonIni = FALSE 'important for automatic connection
       .logon 0, True This will provide a dialog to appear
        If .IsConnected <> 1 Then
            .logon 0, False
            If .IsConnected <> 1 Then Exit Function
        Else
            Set g_oFunction = CreateObject("SAP.Functions")
            Set g_oFunction.Connection = g_oConnection
        End If
    End With
    Run "sapbex.xla!sapbexinitConnection" this will enable the connection you just created
    logonToBW = True
End Function
The error is by this row:
Set g_oFunction.Connection = g_oConnection
Object is needed! How is the g_oConnection-object defined?
2. How can I pass values for the parameters from VBA?
If I open the query usually from SAP-BEX-Toolbar, after selecting the query, I get a parameter mask, where I must put in a value. How can I this automatize from VBA? Has anybody a short samplecode for that?
Thank you for your help
Stefan

Peter and others:
What I really want to do is write a stand-alone application that I can run from windows scheduler that queries our BW for sales data for certain items (in a tabular form) and pulls that data into a VB recordset, or a .NET dataset so that I can insert the rows into another database (SQL Server, or Access) I already know how to do all the data movement to/from datasets and databases I just cannot figure out how to programmatically grab this sales data from BW our company has workbooks already set up that aggregate WW sales information by region (IE, there is a separate workbook for each region of the world) I can manually go into the Excel interface, tell it which items to pull the sales info for, and it dumps the data into the worksheet (organized by customer, and then by cat #)
So, what Id like to do is write an app that will pull data every week or so from the BW (from each regions sales invoice detail workbook), and insert it into another database that we use for reporting other, non-sales, data.
Thoughts on this ? Is there another, non-BEx method that is better ?
thanks !!
