Certification SAP_NW700 _TADM_51)Oracle : Confusing format

Hallo,
The certification question are of the type ->
Q) < The question described >. This question has two correct answers.
        Option
        a) XXX GGGG YYY - T/F
        b) GGG XXXX HHH   - T/F
        c ) TTT HHH SSS   - T/F
        d) SSS OOO FFFF   - T/F
I am confused with SAP terminology of <correct answers> and <T/F> .
A clear question - does <two correct> answers implies I have to mark two of the option as True and two False
OR does <two correct > answers does not imply anything about number of options being True of False.
Please tell me from your experience ( if you have given Tech ed and suceeded ) do I assume <two correct> answers as
two true and two false - ( Here I have a hint - 2F & 2T)
OR
I take no assumption and mark True / False as I like. Of course If I know correct answer I will do the question correctly
but I may loose the extra mark for the <probable hint> given. ( Here 4 can be true / 4 can be false - whatever !!)
I hope you understand . Please I need a feedback on this desperately.

Hallo Matt,
Thank you. I scored 82 % and finally could clear the exam assuming what you guys had said.
But I would like to complain about two things
a ) Why the invigilator told me ( and lot of examinees in the hall ) that no relationship exist. In future the invigilator should be well informed.
b) Why the pattern itself is confusing - not technically but linguistically. To be serious SAP does not seems to be testing our aptitude or language skills. The pattern should be corrected.
So I would like to forward my concern to authorized SAP ( Educational/Tech- Exam team Bangalore/ and also the Uebersetzer ) so the next time examiner is informed.
Whom Can I complain to ?
Please let me know.
Thanks,
Gunjan.

XSL Transformation to Oracle Canonical Format

XSL Transformation to Oracle Canonical Format
Posted: Aug 6, 2007 9:31 AM Reply
I am having issues with transforming XML into Oracle Canonical Format. Can someone, please tell me what am doing wrong?
The source XML:
<transform>
<key old="driver" new="3" transform1="specified">
<value old="-1" new="-1" description="NA" />
<value old="0" new="0" description="no" />
<value old="1" new="1" description="yes" />
</key>
</transform>
I must transform it with XSL into Oracle Canonical format:
<ROWSET>
<ROW>
<column_name_1 />
<column_name_2 />
<column_name_3 />
</ROW>
<ROW>
<column_name_1 />
<column_name_2 />
<column_name_3 />
</ROW>
</ROWSET>
So, I came up with this stylesheet.
<?xml version="1.0"?><xsl:stylesheet version="1.0" xmlns:xsl="http://www.w3.org/1999/XSL/Transform">
<xsl:template match="/">
<ROWSET table = "table4xml">

<xsl:value-of select="@transform1" />
</TRANSFORM1>
<VALUEOLD>
<xsl:value-of select="@valueold" />
</VALUEOLD>
<VALUENEW>
<xsl:value-of select="@valuenew" />
</VALUENEW>
<DESCRIPTION>
<xsl:value-of select="@description" />

</ROW>
</ROWSET>
</xsl:template>
</xsl:stylesheet>
Table TABLE4XML
KEY
KEY_OLD
KEY_NEW
TRANSFORM1
VALUEOLD
VALUENEW
DESCRIPTION
I must have made a mistake within the XSL code, because the PL/SQL procedure that am using inserts a row of NULLs into the table.
Am I correct that the given XML file should look in canonical format as this??
<ROWSET>
<ROW>
<key>
<old>driver</old>
<new>3</new>
<transform1>specified</transform1>
<value>
<old>-1</old>
<new>-1</new>
<description>NA</description>
</value>
</key>
</ROW>
</ROWSET>

There is a misunderstanding in your question. Oracle canonical format has a root node named <rowset> and its children have the name of <row>. And its grandchildren have the name of <column>. This is all of canonical family, no other grand-grand-children :)
Also here is an example for null values in canonical format. They are not presented in XML.
SQL> set serveroutput on
SQL> select null "col1", 'data' "col2" from dual;
c col2
data
SQL> DECLARE
2 ctx dbms_xmlgen.ctxHandle;
3 xml CLOB;
4 BEGIN
5 ctx := dbms_xmlgen.newContext('select null "col1", ''data'' "col2" from dual');
6 dbms_output.put_line(ctx);
7
8 xml := dbms_xmlgen.getXML(ctx);
9 dbms_output.put_line(xml);
10
11 dbms_xmlgen.closeContext(ctx);
12 END;

Convert Oracle date format masks to Java format masks

Have an application based on Oracle that stores data in text form (for display) and in native date format. It is being migrated to another application with a Java based front end that can only use Java format masks to display the dates in the desired display format.
Is there a way to translate the Oracle format masks to Java? I can do this in SQL or PL/SQL using the database or in Java.
I really don't want to write detailed code to parse the masks, although if parsers are available to take an oracle mask into its metadata (minute, year, etc), it may be possible for me to write the code.
This seems like something that must have been done many times over the years. I would prefer to reuse workable code rather than reinventing the wheel.
To be clear, I do not need to alter data or convert dates shown in string form. Just the format masks so the new app will display dates in the same manner as the old app. Fortunately, both apps handle interpreting the format masks in their native technology, so it is just converting the format mask.

kenmadsen wrote:
Both applications have a varchar2 column and a date column. A date picker selects and returns the date in native format for storage and the application uses the mask to format the varchar2 column for display (and storage). The old application uses an Oracle date format mask DD-Mon-YYYY HH24:MI and the new application uses Java date masks (DD-MM-YYYY hh:mm). (I may not have the translation from HH24 to hh correct).
The date column and the display column store the same information (a date), but one is stored natively and the other is displayed as the application administrator want the particular row to be formatted for display. (the mask is a column in the same table as the other 2 columns). Each row has characteristics (other columns) that determines what the data is and how it should be shown (some things need to show time; others only the date)
So the problem is, when migrating, the new application cannot render the dates as the old app did because "Mon" is Oracle format, not Java format.
No data is being converted in the migration, except for the mask itself. Both applications have the same record structure with respect to these columns and they both use the mask to generate the formatted varchar2 data for display in the application and storage.too bad you insist on try to describe with words rather than actual CODE.
Please explain again why this is an Oracle problem & NOT a Java problem?
Oracle RDBMS is a data repository & can't automagically change data content for you.

Import a shape file to oracle spatial format within an oracle pl/sql proced

hi,
My task is to import an esri sde shape file to oracle sdo format within pl/sql procedure.
i am using oracle 10g, arcgis 9 and arcsdo, geometry type is line, please anyone could help how can i achieve this task, would be very thankful
Best Regards,

There are no "in database" tools around that do this AFAIK. Most/all tools are external to the database and have to be invoked externally.
If you created an external "batch file" that did the right processing, you would still have to work out how to execute this batch file from within Oracle. AFAIK the standard method is to use create custom code that uses DBMS_PIPE to communicate with the operating system to execute the batch file. DBAs hate this approach and it does require programming.
The other method could be to write a trivial piece of Java that when passed the full path to the batch file executes the file. You would then load the compiled Java class into the Oracle JVM and then create a simple PL/SQL wrapper around it. I can't do it at the moment, but can come back with the code and instructions later on in the week.
<SHAMELESS PLUG>
As an aside (it seems appropriate to mention this now), I have been developing tools that do run inside the Oracle JVM an can export Oracle data (including sdo_geometry) to a number of formats:
* xSV (ie comma separated, tab separated, any other single character)
* Excel Spreadsheet
* ESRI Shapefile (including the writing of the PRJ file using a user supplied PRJ string and also I write a MapInfo TAB file to "wrap" the shapefile).
When exporting to xSV or Excel Spreadsheet one can chose to encode the SDO_GEOMETRY data as GML or WKT.
(I am working on a KML exporter as well.)
However, note that these tools EXPORT data and do not IMPORT data.
The tools, currently are running in production at a customer site (tabbed shapefile export option) and work well. Export jobs are defined and given to the Oracle JOB or SCHEDULER and correctly run at the appropriate time writing the data to an operating system directory defined internally (with appropriate permissions) as an Oracle Directory object.
I am now considering selling the exporter tool and am looking for testers. (The pricing of these tools will be exceedingly low.)
</SHAMELESS PLUG>
Now, while I hadn't planned to write any importer for a shapefile for my Exporter, I might consider it if you get stuck and can't find a satisfactory tool.

Export Data of Tables in Oracle to format DBF

People,
I need your help! I have a question...How I do for to export the a table (data) Oracle to format table in DBF using PL/SQL?
Please, I am waiting an answer...
Thanks a lot
Tavares, Marcelo

I would probably export to a simple text file (ASCII-delimited or fixed-length fields), then import to Excel and save as Dbase format.
But the following link provides a way to do it directly in PL/SQL:

The answer is CONVERSION_EXIT_SDATE_INPUT.
But read forum rules of engagement, date question are usually not allowed, as they have all been posted several times since Y2K preparation : Read Please read "The Forum Rules of Engagement" before posting!

Certification status of Oracle 10g server on windows 7

Hi all,
I'm trying to understand if Oracle 10g server is certified on windows 7, but I have found conflicting informations.
Note 952302.1 "Is Microsoft Windows 7 certified to install/run Oracle Database Server/Client ?" says :
"Microsoft Windows 7" certification will begin with "Oracle Database 11gR2 (11.2.0.x)". That means, Oracle Database 11gR2 will be the first Oracle Database product certified/supported to install/run on "Microsoft Windows 7".
Oracle also planning to certify "10.2.0.5 Client" on Windows 7. Please refer following article for further information
Note 1061272.1 Statement of Direction: Oracle Database 10g Release 2 Client (10.2.0.5) with Microsoft Windows 7 and Windows Server 2008 R2
Note 1061272.1 "Statement of Direction: Oracle Database 10g Release 2 Client (10.2.0.5) with Microsoft Windows 7 and Windows Server 2008 R2" has only informations related to oracle 10g CLIENT.
So far, so good: Oracle clearly says that only oracle 10g client is certified on windows 7...
However, if I look for info in the "certification" tab in Metalink I found conflicting informations. I have build a matrix looking for:
Product: "Oracle Server - Enterprise Edition"
Release / version: All release / Versions
Platform / Version: "Microsoft Windows (32 bit) > 7"
Tier: All tiers
And - surprise!- I see that Oracle 10gR2 is in the "Extended Support" status !
The certifications detail says that Oracle 10.2.0.5.0 is required, and that "11gR1 database and client and 10gR2 database certification are not planned for Windows 7" !
This is really a mess!
Did you found some clearer documentations ?
How can we shed some light on this topic?
thanks,
andrea

Conversion of white spaced flat file to oracle table format

hello friends
I have found out that SQL*Loader can load data from .txt format into table format in oracle.
Please if anynone can provide me with the syntax for conversion of white spaced data in text format would be of great help
Regards,

The utilities guide provides some sample cases.
Just change the field terminator and adjust the field definitions

CERTIFICATION DETAILS FOR ORACLE DATABASE 11gR2 (11.2.0.3) with Oracle 9i AS.

Hi,
My client is planning to upgrade from 10.2.0.2 to 11.2.0.3 database(AIX 6L). Client having ORACLE 9I AS on different machine and connecting to 10.2.0.2. I am trying to check the certification details for this. but could not able to. Any references please?
I gone through MOS certification, but could not find any thing related to this combination.
I am in the way of checking further options as well..
Regards
DBA....

Well, seeing as how AS 10g has been gone since 2009 Oracle Application Server 10g 9.0.4 & 9.0.4.x (Doc ID 295948.1) I'm not sure an older version would be supported. Now, that's been superseded by an alleged lifetime support policy http://www.oracle.com/us/support/library/lifetime-support-technology-069183.pdf
but that probably has a funny definition of who's life.

Migration Issues from Informix to Oracle (datetime format)

Hello, i am performing a Migration from Informix to Oracle, drive by Migration Workbench, i have an error migrating data from datetime and date fields. I suppose its related by datetime and date format, cause the error tells "Incorrect day or month" when i am migrating data from informix. Targets Oracle database date format is DD/MM/YYYY and source`s Informix database date format like MM/DD/YYYY. Is there any way, in OMW, to specify the mask of datetime or date format to convert date strings from informix to oracle format? Or have i got migrate offline and modify control file to do that with sql*loader?
How can i do that?
Example, especify to_date('....', 'MM/DD/YYYY H24:MI:SS') format for migrating informix datetime fields to Oracle.

The problem i have is, several tables witch contains date and datetime fields, at the same table in informix, by migrating drive by omwb to oracle, the date format i receive from informix at reading is DD/MM/YYYY and datetime format receiving is HH24:MI:SS. Migrating date and datetime types from informix to date, both types to date in oracle, i get an error while matching DD = HH24, MM = MI and YYYY = SS where nls_date_format is DD/MM/YYYY and, the same error matching HH24 = DD, MI = MM and SS = YYYY when nls_date_format is HH24:MI:SS.
If i set nls_date_format as "DD/MM/YYYY HH24:MI:SS" i get the same error, cause reading data from informix results in data format "DD/MM/YYYY" for date fields and "HH24:MI:SS" for datetime fields.
I have more than 200 tables in informix with this problem to migrate to oracle, i can solve by migrating offline, modifying datacontrol file to casting to_date format, but over 200 tables, 200 datacontrol files... is there any way for solving that by online migration in omwb?

Regarding Certification Details in Oracle Portal

Hi All,
I did OCA and OCP certification two years back. I have used weblink to see the history of my certification details with score card in oracle portal. Now i m hutting for the same link to see my certification details in the portal.
If anybody know how to see our certified details in oracle portal please forward me the same and its quite urgent.
Thanks in advance.

Prabu

Hi Prabu,
There is currently not a way to view your certification history online. We are working on a system that will allow this, but the system is still several months out. If you need to verify your certification details for a 3rd party (or for yourself), you can send an email to [email protected] and request verification of your certification(s). If you need to verify for a 3rd party, simply copy the 3rd party on the request and ask that the verification team reply to all in their response. Your 3rd party will receive the information required.

Your statements may be ambiguous, I cannot be sure what you mean by 'fundamentals exams'.
There is a developer track for those interested in PL/SQL developer, is that what you are looking for?

Oracle XML format to VB ADO XML xslt

Hello all,
I believe Oracle produces XML in the following format:
<?xml version = '1.0?>
<row>
<xxx3>abc</xxx3>
<xxx2>def</xxx2>
</row>
BUT, I need to get it in the following XML form:
<xml abcdef>
<rs:data>
<z:row a="abc">
<z:row b="def">
</rs:data>
</xml>
Does anybody have an xslt to do this or can anybody point me in the direction of how to do it please?
Thanks in advance,
Carlos
