Changes in the Datatype

Hi,
Scenario : Webservice -> XI -> JDBC or any scenaio
I have to pass a mandatory integer datatype input as per the <b>latest</b> changes, but my old Sender client(To send the request value to XI) has the old code so it can pass only String or other than integer datatypes.. What all errors we have to face for this case?
Note: The old sender client is not updated with the latest changes. In future also we don't want to update it.
Regards
Sara

Hi
I dont think you will face any errors without the update

How to change the datatype in the oracle table?

Hi,
I need to change the datatype of the column in Oracle table. That column contains some data. I do not want to loose those data.
For altering a table/column condition are:
1. either table should not contain any data.
2. either that column should not contain any data.
Please suggest how i can handle this situation.
Thanks.

Hello,
Suppose you have currently datatype of column as VARCHAR and you want to convert it in NUMBER. Do following
1-Add another column with NUMBER datatype in your table.
ALTER table tablename
ADD testcolumn NUMBER;2-Update your actual column data to this test column.
UPDATE tablename
SET testcolumn = actualcolumn;
COMMIT;3-Update your actual column data to null;
UPDATE tablename
SET actualcolumn = NULL;
COMMIT;4-Change Datatype of actual column.
ALTER table tablename
MODIFY actualcolumn NUMBER;5-Update actualcolumn to testcolumn
UPDATE tablename
SET actualcolumn = testcolumn;
COMMIT;
please mark if it help you or correct

Why does my IN operator change the datatype

Hi
This doesn't make any sense, but i'm hoping there's an obvious answer which you guys have seen a million times before.
I have this criteria in my WHERE clause
AND rpg_id = (SELECT rpg_id
                                         FROM integration.rep_elig_groups
                                        WHERE pel_id IN(34))because of this clause no results are return in my query. However if i use a to_number function like this:
AND rpg_id = to_number(SELECT rpg_id
                                         FROM integration.rep_elig_groups
                                        WHERE pel_id IN(34))OR
AND to_char(rpg_id) = (SELECT rpg_id
                                         FROM integration.rep_elig_groups
                                        WHERE pel_id IN(34))i get the expected results returned.
The sub query:-
SELECT rpg_id
                                         FROM integration.rep_elig_groups
                                        WHERE pel_id IN(34)returns the value 226. rpg_id in this table is a NUMBER datatype. As is rpg_id in the original outer query.
I looked at synonyms, views, and other objects it might be using for the rep_elig_groups table, but there are none.
Then i tried changing the IN operator for an EQUALS operator and would you believe it, it worked.
AND rpg_id = (SELECT rpg_id
                                         FROM integration.rep_elig_groups
                                        WHERE pel_id IN(34))can someone please explain what ORACLE is thinking here!!!
Many thanks

I ran the expain plans in TOAD for both queries, with the only difference changing the operator from IN to =. I'm very surprised there is such a difference between the two!!

Change the datatype of the Keyfigure

Dear all
I have a Keyfigure which was earlier defined as Decimal with 3 decimals places.But now with the change in the Customer's requirement , I need to make it with 8 decimal place. the way out is to either increase the decimal places supported ( but this is not working , i tried ) or to change the datatype to FLTP , but again this option is non-editable , so i am not able to change it either.
I also tried to create a new InfoObject , but then i would have to change evrything from infosource to update rules.
BI-Guru's , Is there any way out here ?
Thanks
Ramesh

Hi,
you won't be able to change your KeyFig without reloading your target with your new key figure setting. Indeed changing to floating point will change your figures...
You have to create a new KeyFig, map your URules... an reload your data in your target; you could use a copy of your cube in order to do so.
hope this helps...

Change the datatype of all the columns

Oracle version 10g.
I have a table with 150 columns.
I'd like to change the datatype of all the columns in my table to varchar.
Do we have a query for this task?
Thanks.

Not knowing yet what you'll answer to John:
If your table is empty, you can use the datadictionary to generate a statement and execute it using dynamic SQL or spool the query to a file that does the DDL and run that...
Example:
MHO%xe> create table bla (col1 number, col2 number);
Tabel is aangemaakt.
MHO%xe> select column_name, data_type from user_tab_columns where table_name = 'BLA';
COLUMN_NAME                    DATA_TYPE
COL1                           NUMBER
COL2                           NUMBER
MHO%xe> declare
2    l_sql varchar2(4000);
3    l_sep varchar2(1);
4 begin
5    l_sql := 'alter table BLA modify ('||chr(10);
6    for rec in ( select column_name from user_tab_columns where table_name = 'BLA')
7    loop
8      l_sql := l_sql||l_sep||' '||rec.column_name||' varchar2(50)'||chr(10);
9      l_sep := ',';
10    end loop;
11    --
12    dbms_output.put_line(l_sql||' )');
13    --
14    execute immediate l_sql||' )';
15    --
16 end;
17 /
alter table BLA modify (
COL1 varchar2(50)
, COL2 varchar2(50)
PL/SQL-procedure is geslaagd.
MHO%xe> select column_name, data_type from user_tab_columns where table_name = 'BLA';
COLUMN_NAME                    DATA_TYPE
COL1                           VARCHAR2
COL2                           VARCHAR2

Getting error while creating form and report on webservice: ORA-20001: Unable to create form on table. ORA-02263: need to specify the datatype for this column.

I get the following error
ORA-20001: Unable to create form on table. ORA-02263: need to specify the datatype for this column.
Please someone help to solve this as i need to fix it urgently.

i exported the application from apex.oracle.com and imported it to our environment
import went fine, but when I ran the IR page I got
ORA-20001: get_dbms_sql_cursor error ORA-00904: : invalid identifier
evidently the problem is a lack of public execute on DBMS_LOB, which is used in the generated IR source.
while waiting for the DBA to grant privs on DBMS_LOB, changing the dbms_lob.getlength call to length() fixes the IR.
however, i am not getting the download link on the associated form page... changed templates, that's not the issue -- we'll see if that's a dbms_lob issue as well

Must not modify the datatype of a mapped attribute

Hi!
I have an inputfield in my WD with extended value help (countryKey and CountryName, coming from R/3). The selected country should be passed to a bapi import parameter mapped in a model, but the problem is that an exception occurs stating that I cannot change the data type of the context attribute because it is mapped to a model.
How is this usually done?
Thanks,

ContextException: AttributeInfo(SearchView.Iv_Land1): must not modify the datatype of a mapped attribute

Hi,
1. Create sub-node under your model node with cardinality 1..1 (non-singleton used in sample below)
2. In this sub-node create calculated attribute with the same primitive type as desired attribute has (say, string).
3. In setter / getter write code that will modify original attribute:
/* getter */
return element.node().parentElement().getAttributeValue("OriginalModelAttr");
/* setter */
element.node().parentElement().setAttributeValue("OriginalModelAttr", value);
4. Rebind your input field to newly created attribute, and apply any value set modifications to it.

As you see above in the bold I do define the data types after every column name , the problem is incase there is change in datatype I do need to manually edit the procedure to change the datatype is there a way I can variablize them something like tablename.columname%type.
Any answers are greatly appreciated.

Two questions:
1. Does your database have a version number?
SELECT * FROM v$version;2. Why are you storing XML in a CLOB column rather than one of XMLType?

Hi,
I guess you did as below.
You have created the context attribute PROJE in View Context as well as in Controller Context.
And then you have changed the type of PROJE attribute in View Context by binding it to some Simple type.
After that you have mapped this attribute to the PROJE attribute in Controller context.
That is why it is giving that error.
If my guess is correct:
Then delete the context mapping - by right click on the PROJE attribute in the View Controller.
Now in Comp Controller change the type of PROJE attribtue by binding the simple type.
And now do the mapping between the attribtues.

How Can I Sync Multiple Changes at the same time?

Is there a way to configure iTunes so that I can make changes in multiple sections, and only sync or apply them when I've made all of them?
For example: I want to changes setting in Music, Apps, and Books. Today, it seems like I have to go to change settings,hit apply, and wait for the iTunes to sync for each one. What I want to do it make changes in all of them, then hit apply/sync and wait for the iTunes to sync all my changes in one swoop.
The seems very intuitive and saves the user a lot of time. Can iTunes be configured to due this?

The OP's question asked - in iTunes for Windows, if it was possible to "configure iTunes" (not the iPod) and then "Sync those changes to the iPod in one step"
Is there a way to configure iTunes so that I can make changes in multiple sections, and only sync or apply them when I've made all of them?
For the media, one can;
untick songs in the Library in order for them to be removed at the next Sync (and obviously the reverse to put them back on),
the same procedure for books,
create and modify Playlists,
remove or add photos to the chosen Photos folder (in Windows of course, not in iTunes) which then get removed or added at the next Sync,
and then connect the iPod. One can prevent an iPod from Syncing at initial connection time, so that further changes to things such as which Apps to Sync (which does need to iPod to be connected), choices of Selected Playlists only, etc. (ditto) can be made by choosing the appropriate pane. As yet, whenever I've done this, I have never had to Sync one change before switching to a different pane. The first change causes the Apply and Revert buttons to appear. I ignore them and continue to make further changes on the other panes. Then I select Apply. The Apply/Revert buttons are removed and replaced by a Sync button. So, although there is the Apply, then Sync to be done, it can hardly be described as a burden.
Are you saying Chris, that you have to apply one change at a time, followed by a sync before making any other change?

In Numbers, how can i change only the year in a date formatted column of data?

I'm using Numbers 3.5.2 on an iMac running Yosemite 10.10.2.
This column is a listing of dates tied to info that needs to happen on a particular date each year. Rather than re-key all the dates so the year advances to 2015, it would be great if I could change just the year for the entire column, leaving the day and month intact.
Thanks in advance for your help.

If you already have a column of dates, and just want change the year in the entire column, rather than reenter the dates, then you could use a formula something like this:
The formula in B2, copied down the column:
=DATE(YEAR(A2)+1,MONTH(A2),DAY(A2))
Then select the new column, command-c to copy, and Edit > Paste Formula Results. The original column can then be deleted.

When I share a pages document as a PDF (via e-mail) all the pictures change from the original document, most are missing with just a few of them repeated in the spots where others had been. How do I do this without the document changing?

When I share a pages document as a PDF (via e-mail) all the pictures change from the original document, most are missing with just a few of them repeated in the spots where others had been. How do I do this without the document changing?
I need to be able to send it to a PC in order to print it.

Hard to say what is happening without examining the file.
If you like click on my blue name and email me both the .pages file and the the .pdf you have made from it.
Peter
ps It would help to say what version of Pages you are using and on what you are running it. iOS or Mac and what version.

Our custom DCs have dependencies in MSS standard DCs.

In version 3.6 I can not open a website link from original page, I keep getting a new window that is blank and asking me to put in a web address. What has changed with the new version?

When on a page if I click on a web link I get a new window that is blank and asks me enter a web address. This started happening with the new 3.6 version. It seems to have something to do with what I choose for the location in my privacy settings as the window changes with each setting but I still cannot get to the new site. Any ideas? I have no problem with this in IE and I have to keep opening IE when I encounter the problem on Firefox which is annoying.

Start Firefox in [[Safe Mode]] to check if one of the add-ons is causing the problem (switch to the DEFAULT theme: Tools > Add-ons > Themes).
* Don't make any changes on the Safe mode start window.
See:
* [[Troubleshooting extensions and themes]]
If it does work in Safe-mode then disable all extensions and then try to find which is causing it by enabling one at a time until the problem reappears.
* Use "Disable all add-ons" on the [[Safe mode]] start window to disable all extensions.
* Close and restart Firefox after each change via "File > Exit" (Mac: "Firefox > Quit"; Linux: "File > Quit")
