Hi,
You can schedule routines (jobs) to be run periodically using the job queue. For more details on creating jobs, here is the documentation link:

Hope that helps.

    Kindly let me have your solutions.
    Thanks in advance,

    This approach can be dangerous. You are currently trying to update all columns in the tables to null if any of the columns are 'N/A'. Your query does not exclude external tables which may not be updatable. Your other query does not exclude data types that can not include 'N/A' such as number. You might want to move your commit outside the loop as you may end up committing partial updates.
    You might try to capture the SQL that you are generating;
    create table t(col2 varchar2(4000));Then in your package;
    insert into t values(v_sql_stmt);
    -- EXECUTE IMMEDIATE v_sql_stmt;

  • Automatically updating table column in OBIEE

    Hi folks,
    I have a requirement for say i have to update a table column based on a condition, but this update should happen on daily basis (i mean it should be scheduled once daily) by checking if any records in that column meets the condition then update it
    example :- column='Pending' then update it with 'Approved' . As transactions records comes on daily into the table.OBIEE should check and update the row so next time it doesnt show this row as 'Pending' .
    I have thought of 2 approaches for this
    1) Through writeback it is possible to update but manually ( the issue is it cant be automated or scheduled on daily basis and update multiple records on a go)
    2) Writing a stored procedure or function for update, but how can i accomplish this procedure to be scheduled or run once daily.how to use it?
    Any thoughts on the above two points or any method you guys can think off.
    Any help is appreciated !
    Cheers,
    KK

    Kranthi,
    This shud be easy...
    - Create a direct database request...with Update Statement
    eg: Update table set col = 'Approved' where col = 'Pending'
    - Create an ibot using the above DDR and schedule it on daily basis.
    This will update the full table with new value on daily basis based on the condition

  • Updating table column

    Hi All,
         How can I update the column of a table?
    More precisely, I am having a table with five rows and five columns and I already put values
    in all by using the program.When user clicks a button, I have to show different values in
    each cells of my last column.
    Thanks
    priya.

    Hi Priya,
    Lets say that you have a view controller's context structure as follows...
    YBAPI_INPUT
    |_OUTPUT
      |_TABLE_NODE
        |_COLUMN1
        |_COLUMN2
        |_COLUMN3
        |_COLUMN4
        |_COLUMN5
    The follwoing code will help you in accessing values in the last row.
    for (int i = 0; i < wdContext.nodeYBAPI_INPUT().nodeOUTPUT().nodeTABLE_NODE().size(); i++) {
    wdComponentAPI.getMessageManager().reportSuccess(wdContext.nodeYBAPI_INPUT().nodeOUTPUT().nodeTABLE_NODE().getTABLE_NODEElementAt(i).setCOLUMN5("SET NEW VALUE HERE"));
    Hope this helps.

  • How can i Auto Size the Column width in RDLC Report

    Hi Friend's,
    I have created Windows application with RDLC Report. I am binding(Generating) dynamic columns and data's in RDLC Report Using Matrix control, I need to make Auto size of Column width for each Column in
    Matrix of RDLC report. So Can any one suggest me to make the Auto Size of Column Width in RDLC.
    Thanks in Advance,
    Mohan G

    Hi Mohan,
    In Reporting Services, the column width/height is hard-coded, hence, we cannot set the column width/height dynamically or based on an expression. So is the report size.
    In addition, since it is a RDLC report, we need a ReportViewer control to display this report within a custom application. If you need to change the size of the whole report, we can set the AsyncRendering property of the ReportViewer control to false, and
    set the SizeToReportContent property to true.

  • Can I auto update the address book?

    When  I plug in the Touch the battery charges, but the apple address book does not update automatically? Anyway that it could?

    Short answer - no.
    Once you subscribe to a Podcast it will auto update automatically. If you don't want to get every show that's released, simply don't subscribe and donwload the shows you want.
    I think an easier solution is just to change your iPod Prefrences so that only the podcasts you select are transferred to your iPod. This way you will have all your podcasts on your Mac and only the ones you choose on your iPod.

  • Update table column with same auto-increment value, via T-SQL stored procedure

    Good Evening to every one,
    I have a table 'Contracts' as we can see in the picture below (I exported my data on An Excel Spreadsheet). Table's primary key is 'ID' column.
    I am trying to create a stored procedure (i.e. updContractNum), through which I am going to update the 'Contract_Num' column, in every row where the values on Property_Code, Customer, Cust_Category and Amnt ARE EQUAL, as we can see in the schema above.
    The value of Contract_Num is a combination of varchar and auto_increment (integer). For example, the next value on 'Contract number' column will be 'CN0005' for the combination of 11032-14503-02-1450,00
    I' m trying to use CURSORS for this update but I am new in using cursors and I am stuck in whole process. I atttach my code below:
    CREATE PROCEDURE updContractNum
    AS
    --declare the variables
    DECLARE @CONTRACT_NUM VARCHAR(10); -- Contract Number. The value that will be updated on the table.
    DECLARE @CONTRACT INTEGER; -- Contract number, the auto increment section on contract number
    DECLARE @CONTR_ROW VARCHAR(200); -- Contract row. The row elements that will be using on cursor
    DECLARE CONTRACT_CURSOR CURSOR FOR -- Get the necessary fields from table
    SELECT PROPERTY_CODE, CUSTOMER, CUST_CATEGORY, AMNT
    FROM CONTRACTS;
    OPEN CONTRACT_CURSOR -- open a cursor
    FETCH NEXT FROM CONTRACT_CURSOR INTO @CONTR_ROW
    WHILE @@FETCH_STATUS = 0 -- execute the update, for every row of the tabl
    BEGIN
    --update Contract_Num, using the format coding : contract_number = 'CN' + 0001
    UPDATE CONTRACTS
    SET CONTRACT_NUM = 'CN'+@CONTRACT_NUM+1
    END
    CLOSE CONTRACT_CURSOR
    Thank you in advance!

    You dont need cursor
    You can simply use an update statement like this
    UPDATE t
    SET Contract_Num = 'CN' + RIGHT('00000' + CAST(Rnk AS varchar(5)),5)
    FROM
    SELECT Contract_Num,
    DENSE_RANK() OVER (ORDER BY Property_Code,Customer,Cust_category,Amnt) AS Rnk
    FROM table
    )t

  • Update table column from another

    Hi,
    I´m having trouble updating data from one table to another. I wish to syncronize the geometry field of the table FAROLFAROLIM from FAROLFAROLIM_OUT. By standard SQL I've tried this:
    update FAROLFAROLIM f, FAROLFAROLIM_OUT ff set f.GEOM = ff.GEOMETRY
    where f.IDFAROLFAROLIM = ff.IDFAROLFAROLIM
    Can you help me figuring out what is wrong???
    Thanks in advance
    Operator

    dude you are doing wrong thing...
    please use following command.
    UPDATE FAROLFAROLIM f
    SET (f.GEOM) =
    ( SELECT ff.GEOMETRY
    FROM FAROLFAROLIM_OUT ff
    WHERE f.IDFAROLFAROLIM = ff.IDFAROLFAROLIM );

  • Why can't I adjust table column widths at dev time?

    LV8 on XP:  I get the column separator pointer, <-||->, but when I click and attempt to drag,
    nothing happens.  Checking "Moveable Column Separators" on the
    pop-up menu has no effect (as expected, Help says its for run time).

    Another thing you can do is press CTRL-M to change to run-time mode.  In this mode, the front panel controls behave as through they were running. 
    I really like this mode and often use it for an inital mock-up.  of course since it is not really running, property nodes, invoke node, events, and locals will have no effect, but it does let you play with things and see controls "work" without having any code behind it.

  • How can I auto-update all book file links after making a new copy of my project?

    Using Indesign CC 2014,
    Windows 7x64.
    I've created a catalog, using a book file (.indb) which connects 20 Indesign files (.indd) together (so page numbering is continuous, etc).
    Each of the 20 Indesign files all have numerous art asset links and cross references. In total, ~200 files are involved.
    Once finished with the whole thing, I made a copy of the entire folder structure and placed it elsewhere, because I now need to create a modified version of this catalog project for a different company.
    In the end I need to wind up with 2 different, but very similar catalogs.
    Here's my problem: when I made the copy of the entire project and opened the copied over book file, I've found that it's still referencing the older 20 Indesign files back in the first folder structure.
    It's not using the new stuff.
    Same goes for all the art asset links inside each Indesign file.
    Looks like absolute paths only.
    What's the standard operation procedure here? What can I do to avoid having to manually re-link numerous art assets, etc?
    Surely, this is a common need among Indesign users.

    Hey, Peter!
    I've delayed my response here.
    Been dinking around, trying things.
    That's a smart suggestion, but the Package command will round up all assets into a nice compact folder structure ready for production. It's not really what I need.
    I need to keep things as they are, fully editable and unaltered - my folder structure is carefully crafted as is, and I definitely don't need all the fonts dumped into a folder.
    Here's what I'm doing now - I make a complete new copy of the folder structure in question. It includes all InDesign files and linked artwork, etc. Everything.
    I then CHANGE the name of root folder of the folder structure I initially copied. This breaks all the absolute paths of the copy.
    Then I open each InDesign file and the CORRECT links are still automatically found because it looks inside the new folder structure I just made by creating the copy. So all links get "fixed".
    Thank goodness InDesign is far more intelligent about finding missing links than Illustrator.
    This is the best solution I've found. It's not perfect, but nothing ever is.

  • Can't auto update applications

    I have a problem with updating applications. When i confirm an application to update itself, it downloads the new version and tries to install and relaunch but fails and gives me "__ application does not have permissions to write to the applications directory! Are you running off a disk image...".
    I am not running the application from disk image. I think it is related to permissions. Tried disk utility and repaired the permissions and it didn't help. Any suggestions?
    Thanks

    I am not running the application from disk image. I think it is related to permissions. Tried disk utility and repaired the permissions and it didn't help.
    I'll guess that you're trying to update a third-party application. I don't believe a Disk Utility "repair permissions" operation will help you with such things.
    I'd use the Finder menu function File -> Get Info to compare the ownership and permissions of the application that's giving you trouble with one that's not.
    Other possibly-relevant issues: Are you running from an administrative account? Is it the only administrative account on the computer? Was it the account that was used to install that application?

  • Making a jtable auto updates itself from a mysql table

    Pretty much what the title says. How can i auto update the jtable for every time my mysql table is updated in anyway? i am implementing this auto update function in my admin program which displays a list of users who are online etc. from the moment a user is offline/online or changes other details displayed in my jtable, i want it to auto update the jtable as soon as the actual mysql table has been updated with new data...
    I was thinking of re doing the whole jtable i made and create a thread for that table that has a infinite while loop that keeps repainting the jtable with the new updated data from a mysql table query eg select * from table and store the data into a resultset which then gets transferred into a vector. Load the vector into the jtbale and their ya go�.
    what you think of this approach? Is their a better way to do this?
    at the moment, as soon as my application opens, the jtable views all the data from my sql table, however if it doesnt auto updates itself, cheers

    i am implementing this auto update
    function in my admin program which displays a list of
    users who are online etc. from the moment a user is
    offline/online or changes other details displayed in
    my jtable, i want it to auto update the jtable as
    soon as the actual mysql table has been updated with
    new data...Well you can make some changes to make implementation easy
    Ex: Create a table to keep a log of the changes in the system the dmin program read the log and replicate the changes as specified in the log on the table model.
    When reading the log the admin program keep track of the sequence no of the last read log entry and it reads ony the entries which has larger seq numbers than the last read seq no
    I dont think that it is critical to make this to be cloase to real time. An Update once a 1 or 2 secs should be sufficient.

  • Can't turn off auto update

    I want to turn off automatic update notification for flash.  I can get to the global notification setup page and uncheck the automatic update, but there doesn't appear to be any kind of save settings button or anything on that web page.  So all I do is close Internet explorer after unchecking the autoupdate box.  If I then reopen internet explorer and go back to the flash global notifications page, the check for updates box is checked.  How do I shut it off???
    Thanks,
    Bob

    Thanks, but the page you linked to, is the page I was using, and restarting
    the computer makes no difference.  I can uncheck auto update, but when I bring up the setting again, it is rechecked.
    Any other suggestions?  If it matters, I'm in windows xp sp3 single user, with admin rights on the account.
    Thanks,

  • How to implement authorisation on table columns

    Can anyone suggest a smart way to use Weblogic platform capabilities to implement
    a table column security/authorisation "control". ie. control on a column by column
    basis who can view or update a column? Scenario - a primary data owner "owns"
    a set of records in a database, but would like to give (or delegate) selected
    access to groups of users to view and/or update the content of certain fields
    in the recordset.
    Seems like this is probably not that uncommon a requirement but can't seem to
    find any design patterns for this.

    Seems like this is probably not that uncommon a requirement but can't seem to
    find any design patterns for this.The first question is, if you are going through an application server
    why do you need to do anything clever at all? You can check the role of
    authenticated users and grant or deny access based on that (i.e. some
    dynamically generated SQL dependent on role)?
    If you really need support at the DBMS level, you can use SQL VIEWs.
    Create a view containing the appropriate columns and grant permissions
    to that view to the appropriate users. With an app server you will need
    multiple connection pools though and it quickly gets messy.
    Alternatively use stored procedures. Depending on your DBMS this might
    be required (if views aren't updatable) or could give better
    performance. Or worse performance.
