Can't format SQL data as decimal

Hello All,
I'm having trouble getting my SQL data entered with a decimal
format. The SQL column I'm working with (Price) is configured as
Decimal (10,2). I can enter values directly in PHPMyadmin and it
works fine. I created the Insert Record and Update Record pages in
DW 8.0.2. Although either form would allow me to enter a decimal
value in the Price field when I viewed the records in the database
they had been stored as Intergers (nothing after the decimal
point). I went back to the Insert Record page and examined the
Insert Record Behaviour and in the dialog box for the Price field
was set to submit as Integer. So obviously this was wrong. However
there wasn't a 'decimal' or 'numeric' choice in the drop down menu
list. There was only 'text; integer; double; date; checkbox y,n;
checkbox 1,0; checkbox -1,0'. I selected double, but wasn't really
sure what it meant. But that seems to have allowed me to store the
value with decimal precision. But my guess is that this isn't the
correct setting. The situation is obviously the same on the Update
Record page. So that's really the basis of my question: shouldn't I
have other choices in that drop down menu.
Thanks,
Chris

Your guess is wrong. Double means a number with a floating
decimal point.

Can't create sql data source in Power BI

Hello All,
I'm trying to use the sql database from my ACT! CRM to connect to Power BI.
I've succeeded in installing the Microsoft data management gateway and connecting this Power BI. Status is 'running'.
However when I try to add sql data source, and add credentials to log on the 'act7' instance of the sql, the response is 'failed to test connection, login failed'
Can anyone help?

Hi Mark,
When you specify credential, are you able to connect to the data source directly? Meaning that if you're at home please ensure VPN is established between you and the data source. This is another factor of authentication when exposing data source for workbook
refresh.

Can't query sql data

I'm connecting fine to a SQL DB. Used the "help" sample in LS 8.0 help to enter an ID that should query the data for a specific data set. Using "click" and "FormCalc", I get an error. This is my code:
//Change the commandType from TABLE to TEXT. TEXT
//is the equivalent of SQL Property
$sourceSet.DataConnection.#command.query.commandType = numeric
//Set the Select Node. Select in this case will be
//whatever SQL Property you want
$sourceSet.DataConnection.#command.query.select.nodes.item(0).value = Concat(Select*from licenses Where userid = , ListBox1.rawValue,)
//Reopen the Data connection
$sourceSet.DataConnection.open()
I've tried the Javascript version of this, and I get no error, but nothing at all happens.

I can't format text data saved to Excel.

I am using the attached VI to write text data to an Excel file. The problem is I can't reformat the numeric data to create charts.
Can someone shed some light on this?

The reason for this is that those cells have been stored as text. This is indicated by the little triangle in the upper left of the cell. The reason for this is that in your code you are creating a 2D array of strings and writing that out. Excel directly treats this as text information, and not numerical information. If you wish to treat those value as numeric then you need to select the entire range of cells and then click on the little yellow icon to display the context menu:
You can also change the way you're writing out the data by using numerical arrays for those columns. This would mean writing out the columns in sections rather than all at once.

How do I format a date string in ISO 8601 format?

Post Author: Perth
CA Forum: Formula
I am using a SaaS application, and uploading Crystal XI report templates to run using the application's reporting page. My custom date fields are stored using the ISO date format, and are made available as text strings in the form "yyyy-mm-ddThh:mm:ss" eg. "2007-10-09T00:00:00". The SaaS vendor say use a Crystal function. I have tried CDATE, DATEVALUE etc but these don't recognise the format as a valid date. I want to display this date as dd mmm yyyy. Any ideas?

Post Author: Perth
CA Forum: Formula
I have found a solution from another forum and post it here to close this off.
It requires defining a "Report custom function". Use the formula workshop to create a function, giving it a name. Then paste this:
Function (stringVar v1)Date (ToNumber (Left (v1,4 )), ToNumber (Mid (v1, 6,2 )) , ToNumber (Mid (v1, 9,2 )) )
I can now format this date in the normal way as it is a date!

IS it possible to Format the data to CXML format in Java ?

Hi all,
I am new to Java programming. I am an SAP ABAP Developer and in my SAP CRM E-Commerce Web Shop coding, I have to do coding in Java.
My current requirement is that I have some set of data and I have to format this data to CXML format in Java. IS this possible?
Can I format the data to CXML format in Java? Are there standard API's to do this? Please let me know how should I procced with the coding?
Apart from formatting the output to CXML format, I have to also post this data to an external market place...How can I do this?
Please help me with relevant information. your help will be highly appreciated.
Regards,
Jessica Sam

It should be possible to format the data, yes. If there's a "standard API" it should be one that comes out of that SAP CRM thing, so look there.
As for "posting to an external marketplace", that's far too vague a concept to be able to answer. You should start by getting the specs about "how to post" from that marketplace.

Can't format internal disk

Hi
I have a Mac Mini from late 2012
I have installed a SSD and kept the old disk for data-storage (1 TB).
Both disk was originally formatted to "Mac OS - extended (Journaled)"
I installed the OS X successfully on the SSD - and everything is working fine on that.
BUT I can't access my data disk. I can see the disk - but I'm not allowed to edit or add anything to the disk.
I have tried a lot of stuff:
Taking the disk out of the computer and reformatting it completly with my Macbook Pro... with out any problems can access the disk and edit on it.
BUT as soon as I add it into the Mac Mini and boot up - the OSX sees the disk but won't let me edit/write to the disk.
Gives error -50
I also tried writing to it from terminal as sudo - no luck.
I tried to reformat it in recovery mode ( and tried booting from USB stick)... BUT the system keeps saying that it can't format the data disk because it can't be unmounted...!
MY EXTRA DISK CAN'T BE UNMOUNTED.... ***!? (also tried unmounting from terminal... same errors)
It has no problems deleting the SSD disk....
-I'm using the well-known; OWC Data Doubler to connect my data disk to the secondary position in the Mac Mini
Please help... because I have no idea how to fix this. (Both disk can be wiped as needed - I just want a system with SSD and normal extra disk)...

Thanks for replying.
My SSD is: Corsair SSD Force Series 3, 240GB 2.5"
I didn't know that you could change any firmware on the SSD it self... and Corsairs homepage do note write anything about it.
I tried to switch the two disk around.
Now it only sees the 1TB disk (apple original) and I'm not able to see the SSD (not even in the terminal)
So right now SSD is in the lower...
hmmm... if I had a problem with the cable or controller - would it throw this kind of error?
Next step; I'll try to install the OSX on the 1TB disk - just to see if the SSD will be reconized later.
But still looking for help.

Linked Server Problem while SQL Data Transfer using Non-sys Admin Account

Hi Team,
I've an issue while transferring the data from ServerA to ServerB. I've made the ServerB as "Linked Server" to Server A. Pre requisite like:
1) SQL Account is been created on ServerB.
2) Timeout settings for remote connections is set to "No Timeout".
When I execute the below script using Query Window, It executes successfully:
Insert into ServerB.DBName.dbo.TableName1
Select * from dbo.TableName1
But when I execute the same step by creating a SQL Job, it fails with the below error message:
Message
Executed as user: DomainName\UserName. Named Pipes Provider: Could not open a connection to SQL Server [1450]. [SQLSTATE 42000] (Error 1450) OLE DB provider "SQLNCLI" for linked server "ServerB" returned message "Login

Key figure Date in Decimal format

Hi all,
   I have a key figure 0CPR_ACFR_K (Date) which is in Decimal format.
   Data in PSA for the particular field was like this '07102008'
   but after that it is changing to 7327.98 that is in decimal format.
   But i dont want this to happen ie. it should not get converted to Decimal or
   i want to convert the decimal value again to the equivalent date.
   pls help in this.

Hi jean liker,
It will get converted due to its properties. If you want to use this particular object as keyfigure, you can create a variable with processing type replacement path and use. Its better to maintain as char.
[Replacement Path: Replacement with a Characteristic Value|http://help.sap.com/saphelp_nw04/helpdata/en/03/6ba03cc24efd1de10000000a114084/frameset.htm]

How to convert JAVA.SQL.DATE date in YYYY/MM/DD format into DD/MM/YYYY

i am using informix database which accepts date value in the form of DATE format......
the other part of my application takes date from the field in DD/MM/YYYY format...so i have to convert my java.sql.date in YYYY/MM/DD fromat into DD/MM/YYYY fromat of same type before inserting into db......
but using parse method in SimpleDateFormat class can get the result only in java.util.date format...
and also using format method can result only in string conversion........

Maybe you mean Informix (fronted by JDBC) expects date values as java.sql.Date objects?
the other part of my application takes date from the field in DD/MM/YYYY format...
so i have to convert my java.sql.date in YYYY/MM/DD format into DD/MM/YYYY format of same type before inserting into db......I am not sure why you are talking about formats here.
There is no formatting inherent in a java.util.Date object
nor in a java.sql.Date object.
but using parse method in SimpleDateFormat class can get the result only in java.util.date format...
and also using format method can result only in string conversion........You can easily create a java.sql.Date object from a java.util.Date object.
String s = "31/12/2010";
java.util.Date ud = new java.text.SimpleDateFormat("dd/MM/yyyy").parse(s);
java.sql.Date sd = new java.sql.Date(ud.getTime());
ud = sd; // java.sql.Date extends java.util.Date so no conversion is needed

Error in SQL Date Format Mask

Hi,
I am facing problem in validation data in FDQM.
When I am trying to validate data,I am getting an error as ' An Error occured.Please verify that SQL Date Format Mask is correct'
The current Date Format in our application is YYYYMMDD.
I did not have this problem earlier in validating data.This problem is occuring now only and also this error is coming for few entities only.
Could any one suggest me on how this can be resolved.
Thanks

Hi Kelly,
I checked periods in control tables and there are no duplicates.
The Period Date Format Mask is MMM-YYYY where as the SQL Date Format Mask is YYYYMMDD.
These settings are there since the time I created application.Has it got anything to do with database.
Appreciate your quick response

How can I get a date without the hour from sql server 2000 ?

hellou!
I have a JTable, and one of it's columns has to show a date. This date i have to show is specified as datetime on the Sql Server 2000 database where I have to take the data.
the query of the dataset attached to the JTable is something like "select * from Table".
The problem is that the JTable column that displays the date shows the date and the hour, for example:
7/10/04 0:00:00
and I need to show the date without the hour, only the 7/10/04. Can anyone tell me how to do that?
thank you very much! : )

The easiest way to format a date is with java.text.SimpleDateFormat. When creating it you pass a format string which can be used to parse or format date objects.
SimpleDateFormat formater = new SimpleDateFormat( "MM/dd/yyyy" );
// Get date objects directly from sql
Date foundDate = result.getDate( 1 ); //where result is the ResultSet and 1 is the date column
String formatedDate = formater.format( foundDate );Now the JTable's table model can be adjusted to store a formated String instead of a Date. If for some reason it is required to store the value as a Date overload the table model to return the formated string when getValueAt is called.

Put java.sql.Date in correct format

I need to put java.sql.Date in correct format to query an Oracle database.
Here is my code:
        SimpleDateFormat formatter = new SimpleDateFormat("dd-MMM-yy");
        java.util.Date dateChosen = jXDatePicker1.getDate();
        String strDate = formatter.format(dateChosen);
        System.out.println("Date Chosen: " + strDate); // output is: 11-Feb-00
        java.util.Date parserDate = null;
        try {
            parserDate = formatter.parse(strDate);
        } catch (ParseException re) {
            System.err.println("Exception caught: " + re.getMessage());
        // create java.sql.Date object
            java.sql.Date oraDate = new java.sql.Date(parserDate.getTime());
        System.out.println(oraDate); // date is in this format: 2000-02-11
        System.out.println("formatted oraDate: " + formatter.format( oraDate ) ); // no good, stringIf I use formatter.format( oraDate ) I get the correct format (11-Feb-00) BUT it is no longer a sql Date, it is a String which can't be use.
I have looked at the API and many other forum threads on this, any help would be greatly appreciated!

In the class with the PreparedStatement, I pass the date like this:
public class report extends javax.swing.JDialog {
     java.sql.Date newDate;
    public report(java.sql.Date passedOraDate, String passedtxtDate) {
        super();
        initComponents();
        setTitle("Report");
        setModal(true);
        newDate = passedOraDate;
        statusLabel.setText(passedtxtDate);
        System.out.println("passedtxtDate: " +passedtxtDate);
        System.out.println("newDate: " +newDate);
    }Here is the code that uses the actual PreparedStatement:
        try {
            // In my actual code I have all columns listed in query
            String query = "SELECT * FROM report WHERE repdate = ?";
            ps = conn.prepareStatement(query); // create a statement
                       ps.setDate(1, newDate); // set input parameter
            rs = ps.executeQuery();
            // extract data from the ResultSet
            ResultSetMetaData md = rs.getMetaData();
            int columns = md.getColumnCount();This is greatly edited to show relevant code!

SQL Date Format question

Hello,
The date format in an Access database is "Date Time" (
1/8/2008 6:14:34
AM ). It's a required format for some functions.
I need to group product orders by date for a simple revenue
summary page.
As the time part of the date is different for all orders,
trying to group
all orders by one date ( 1/8/2008 for example ) won't work.
It results in:
1/8/2008 6:14:34 AM $30.00
1/8/2008 7:50:23 AM $20.00
I need it to be:
1/8/2008 $50.00
I've tried convert and datetime but am having some kind of
brain cramp I
think and can't get it to work.
The base SQL is:
SELECT order_Date, Sum(order_Total) as TotalAmt FROM
OrderDetails
GROUP BY order_Date
Usage:
<% While ((Repeat1__numRows <> 0) AND (NOT
Recordset1.EOF)) %>
<td><%= Recordset1("order_Date") %></td>
<td><%= Recordset1("TotalAmt") %></td>
Repeat1__index=Repeat1__index+1
Repeat1__numRows=Repeat1__numRows-1
Recordset1.MoveNext()
Wend
%>
Any ideas are appreciated.
Take care,
Tim

Hi Baxter,
I will be summing the totals, but I haven't added that yet.
The date format was the big hurdle.
I just have to figure out how to format the date back to
mm/dd/yyy in the
repeat region on the page now.
It's coming out of the rs as yyyy/mm/dd
<%=Recordset1("orderDate")%>
I'm thinking I'll need to set up a function to format the way
orderDate
displays.
<%=FriendlyDate(Recordset1("orderDate"))%>
But, time for a break. Thanks again for the ideas.
Take care,
Tim
