Can't evaluate functions or SQL

Hmmm, I'm wondering what I'm doing wrong here:
Using a text box and
select sysdate from dual
SQL query returns date
(no, I'm not using #)
I'm logged in as PORTAL30, have created a new form and am using 3.0.8 against 8.1.7 ... but the text area is empty when I run the form ...
I also can't get user or portal30.wwctx_api.get_user functions to work ...
Ideas?

Doug,
Is this form item by any chance not part of the base table?
If it's not then you will need a Javascript function to populate the field. Non-table items do not support database-side default values yet.
Thanks,
Dmitry

Can i use function inside sql in a form ?????

Here SERIAL_NUM is a function, this sql work fine in TOAD and SQLPLUS but inside the form iam getting error saying "function serial_num cannot be used in a sql" Why is it like that ?? Is there anyother way to execute this sql ?
cursor c1 is
SELECT msn.ATTRIBUTE7 Order_No,
SERIAL_NUM(i.SERIAL_NUMBER) Serial_No,
msn.ATTRIBUTE5 Firmware,
msn.ATTRIBUTE15 Site_Pref
FROM atrd.INSTALLER_INFO i,
mtl_serial_numbers msn
where SERIAL_NUM(i.SERIAL_NUMBER)=msn.SERIAL_NUMBER

hi,
yes of course you can use the functions in sql as well as in forms( within sql statements).
here i think you are not connected to the Specified user which is having the function Serial_num
or other thing may that ur syntax
just check both of them that may help you.

How to use evaluate function for sql server function

Hi Team,
We have imported a column(date dtat type) from SQL server cube . By default it imported as varchar,. We have three option in physical layer for this column(Varchar,Intiger,unknown)
So we want to convert this column into date.can we use evaluate or there is any option to do that.?

Hi,
I am not sure your requirement. But how pass evaluate function obiee?
syntax:- EVAULATE('your db function(%1,%2)', parameter list)
here %1 and %2 are the no.of parameters (columns or may constant values) to be passed for the db-function
if you have 3 parameters then you need to use %3 also.. means the columns to be passed.
following exapmples are for ORACLE db,
ex1: EVALUATE('upper(%1)', 'satya ranki reddy') gives the result as -> SATYA RANKI REDDY
ex2: EVALUATE('upper(%1)', 'Markets.Region') here Markets.Region is column.
you also can call the user-defined functions through evaulate
EVALUATE('functioname(%1,%2), column1, column2)
the above function has 2 parameters to be inputted
Hope this help's
Thanks

Can call a function from SQL COMMAND but can't from the SHUTTLE help please

I've read this article
ARTICLE
I've written the code in a function called SURVEY_USERS that takes one variable
when I run the following in the SQL builder:
SELECT SURVEY_USERS('canns') from DUAL;I get
SELECT smteam.division_manager DS, smteam.division_manager RV from SMTEAM where smteam.division_manager=canns and rownum = 1
UNION
SELECT SMTEAM.dept_manager DS, smteam.dept_manager RV from SMTEAM LEFT where smteam.division_manager=canns
UNION
SELECT smteam.wdmanagername DS, smteam.wdmanagername RV from SMTEAM where smteam.division_manager=cannswhich is what I want but when I put in into the "list of values definition".
RETURN SCREPORTS.SURVEY_USERS('canns');I get
Error     ORA-06550: line 1, column 188: PL/SQL: ORA-00904: "CANNS": invalid identifier ORA-00904: "CANNS": invalid identifier ORA-06550: line 1, column 7: PL/SQL: SQL Statement ignored ORA-00904: "CANNS": invalid identifierI'm just confused as to what I'm doing wrong. I'm passing the same thing to the function...and it appears to be working in the SQL workshop and not the actual LOV Shuttle.

Calling Function in SQL Server through DBLINK

Hello
I need to call a function that exists in other database (*SQL Server*) through DBLINK
Is It possible? If yes, please give me the syntax
Thanks

Hi,
You can call remote functions on SQL*Server if you create the database link using the Database Gateway for SQL*Server (DG4MSQL).
You need to install and configure DG4MSQL then you can call remote functions as follows -
SELECT function1@Remote_DB(7782) FROM dual;
You need to set the parameter -
HS_CALL_NAME
in the DG4MSQL init<sid>.ora file with the owner and name of the function, for example -
HS_CALL_NAME = "owner1.function1, owner2.function2 "
and if you want to return values using the function you need to set the parameter in the gateway init file -
HS_FDS_PROC_IS_FUNC=TRUE
For full details you need to refer to the documentation -
Oracle® Database Gateway for SQL Server User’s Guide, 11g Release 2 (11.2)
Oracle® Database Heterogeneous Connectivity User’s Guide 11g Release 2 (11.2)
which is available from -
http://www.oracle.com/pls/db112/homepage
and click on the 'Integration Information' option on the left.
The documentation has further details on how to call and use remote functions.
For information about installing and configuring the gateway and links to further information have a look at the following note -
Note.1083703.1 Master Note for Oracle Gateway Products
available in My Oracle Support
You cannot use the Database Gateway for ODBC (DG4ODBC) to create the database link as it does not supported stored procedures or remote functions.
Regards,
Mike

Can we use Evaluate Function in Dashboard Prompt

Hi
Can anybody tell me
Can we use Evaluate Function in Dashboard Prompt.
If yes...How
Thanks in Adv

Yes ! You Can!
while creating the dashboard prompt, under "Show" pick SQL results and you write the SQL statement and include the EVALUATE function.
I have several such examples. Most of of dashboard pages are parameter driven.
1. 1st paratmeter - users specify the dates
2. 2nd parameter - constrains the results for the period specified in 1st paramter and my SQL for 2nd paramter looks like this -
SELECT table1.column1
FROM table, datedim1, table1,table2
WHERE datedim1.date BETWEEN EVALUATE( 'TO_DATE(%1,%2)','@{presentation variable1}','dd/mm/yyyy') AND EVALUATE('TO_DATE(%1,%2)', '@{presentation variable 2}','dd/mm/yyyy')

Can Evaluate function return object type

Hi
Evaluate function can be used to call db functions in OBIEE. I have a function which returns an object ( pl/sql table).
Created a simple report in Oracle Answers and added following in one of the columns
evaluate( 'get_ccid(%1)' as t_ccid , @{p_request})
When I try to run this in Oracle answers, getting syntax error. If same function returns varchar or number it works well.

evaluate( 'get_ccid(%1)' as t_ccid , @{p_request})Eakta, You syntax seems to be wrong here. What type of data your presentation variable contains here ?? You are saying its working fine with Number datatype..so can you try..somthing like below with some default value..
EVALUATE('get_ccid(%1)',@{p_request}{2})
OR
EVALUATE('get_ccid(%1)' as varchar(250),@{p_request}{ABC})
Also, refer

Can we use Evaluate function in Prompt

Hi all
Can we use Evaluate Function in Dashboard Prompt?
I need some exposure on how to use it.
I am working on a HRMS-OLTP Source where I need to work with Oracle Functions from OBIEE.
IF somebody can tell me that, It will be a favour for me....
ThanQ
Anand V

Hi All,
Here's an example of how to use evaluate. This use calls the Oracle TO_DATE function: EVALUATE('TO_DATE(%1,%2)' as DATE, '03/03/2009', 'MM/DD/YYYY')
Here's how it works: EVALUATE( '<FUNC>' AS <DATATYPE>, VALUE1,VALUE2,etc)
FUNC) Is the syntax for the function you are calling. Any parameters have to be replaced by %<number>, where number refers to the order in which you specify your parameters.
DATATYPE) The datatype that the function will evaluate to. In this case, DATE.
VALUE1) The latter part of the formula is a comma separated list of all the parameters used in the function. In this case, it's the date I want to cast
VALUE2) This is the second parameter. You need as many as you referenced in your function. In this case, it's the date format.
Good luck and if you found this post useful, please award points!
Best regards,
-Joe

Equivalent of to_date function in Ms SQL and using it in Evaluate function

Hi,
I am trying to find out a function in MS SQL which is equivalent to to_date function in oracle. Please find below the advanced filter i am trying to use in OBIEE.
Evaluate('to_date(%1,%2)' as date ,SUBSTRING(TIMES.CALENDAR_MONTH_NAME FROM 1 FOR 3)||'-'||cast(TIMES.CALENDAR_YEAR as char(4)),'MON-YYYY')>=Evaluate('to_date(%1,%2)' as date,'@{pv_mth}'||'@{pv_yr}','MON-YYYY') and Evaluate('to_date(%1,%2)' as date ,SUBSTRING(TIMES.CALENDAR_MONTH_NAME FROM 1 FOR 3)||'-'||cast(TIMES.CALENDAR_YEAR as char(4)),'MON-YYYY') <=timestampadd(sql_tsi_month,4,Evaluate('to_date(%1,%2)' as date,'@{pv_mth}'||'@{pv_yr}','MON-YYYY'))
The statement above works fines with oracle DB with to_date function. The same statement throws an error with MS SQL since to_date is not a built in function.
With MS SQL I tried with CAST, not sure how to pass parameters %1 and %2.
Please help me how to use Evaluate function and passing parameters along with to_date funtion in MS SQL.
Regards!
RR

Hi,
please refer to this thread for useful information on using to_char and to_date functions of oracle in MS SQL server:

Dbx: Can't evaluate local variables in optimized functions

I turned on the optimization for the whole product. Now I found that I can not print the local variables declared in side the main funciton or inside the function locals.
eg.
int factorial (int n)
int factorial = 1;
while (n > 1)
factorial *= n--;
return factorial;
When I tried to print n or factorial, I would not able to do so...
Is there any way can I get the local variables printed?
Is there any compiler options to overcome this problem and printing the local variables...
I know this is an difficult question becuase the locals go to Register instead of memory. By reverting it back to memory, I may loose the efficiency I gained with this optimizations.

dbx: Can't evaluate local variables in optimized functions

Dbx typically cannot show auto variables in optimized code. The reason is that the variables typically do not have a stable location, or might be eliminated altogether. Similarly, source code lines don't have a stable relationship to object code. The debug data emitted by Sun compilers is not enough to keep track of these issues.
We plan to provide better debugging of optimized code in a future release.
Dbx can show the value returned from a function, which in your case might be enough.

Evaluate function in OBIEE

Hi All,
I tried using Evaluate and Evaluate_Aggr in the column formula of a report.
Evaluate_Aggr() is erroring saying the dimension Work Order is incorrectlly defines logical Table Source Mapping for a dimension of Work Order. If I revoke the implicit fact coniguration on this Subject Area which I have, the report executes as expected. But this implicit configuration is required in my scenario for other reports to work.
Using Evaluate() works perfectly.
Can anyone help me in fixing this?
Shld I add any other configuration in the RPD to resolve this issue?
Thanks

I used the following evaluate function in my report under Edit Column Formula of the particular field.

The test_eval function in my DB takes one parameter of type number and returns a number. The "Contract BC Parameters Fact"."Bill Amt Lcy" field is of DOUBLE type as found in BMM layer.
I wish to know if I am right by placing the evaluate function in report or should I use it in BMM layer? Can I get anybodies assistance in knowing how to arrive at using a DB user-defined function in a report.
