Collections in a function

I have a
funcpacka.func1 (a function in a package), funcpacka.collection ( a collection in a package)
and
procpackb.proc1 ( a procedure in a package)
from sqlplus when i call procpackb.proc1 it tries to populate funcpacka.collection
and later when i call funcpacka.func1 as a table function it retreieves these values just fine.
however if i look to do this is a single call to funcpacka.func1 and inside this i make a call to procpackb.proc1 to populate and retreieve the collection it does not work .. i am aware that dml in a table function does not work, and would need to use an autonomous block .. still no
do u see anything wrong here

Hi!
Yes things work much better when run from within the "application". I had been trying to test the code from both SQL*Plus and from the SQL WorkShop.
The problem I was having even within the application was that I was getting back NULL return values. So I put some exception handling into the code and trapped the
data_not_found and others exceptions. I also had SQL%NOTFOUND code in my function. It appears the SQL%NOTFOUND was not being processed and the exception code was. I can paste the code I was using here if you want.
I went another way around the problem and rewrote the query (esp. the where clause) for the report and it seems to be doing what I need now. I would love to get the function working and understand how it should have worked so that I can use that functionallity in other applications.
Thanks!

Catching collection returned by function in SQL statement

I am having a select query as : (I need all the values returned by the function in the select list)
select t1.col1,t2.col2, (select t.a,t.b,t.c from fn(t2.col3) t)
from
t1,t2
where t1.col1=t2.col2;
My function is like :
fn(t2.col3) returns a table in object format
Here I was able to select only one value from table returned by the funcation at a time.If I select all the values as above it was giving too many vales error.
Please any one help me in this

where t1.col1=t2.col2;Any specific reason for doing this? It adds an additional complexity to the SQL projection, and there's the additional costs of context switching to the PL/SQL engine (per row). All in all - not your typical approach and one that should have sound justification.
As for the basic method - the multiset() SQL function needs to be used to create a collection. Here's a basic example of the approach:
SQL> create or replace type TFoo as object(
2          id      number,
3          bar     varchar2(5)

Using CAST/COLLECT with a function

I have a select statement that gathers comments into a report by user ID and Project Name.
This works really well until I get to a point where the total comments exceeds 4000 characters, then I get a "character string buffer too small".
Is there another way to gather the comments and report on them in APEX?
Here is the Select Statement:
/** START SELECT
SELECT
PROJECT_NAME, USER_ID, COLLECT_FUNC(CAST(COLLECT (USER_NOTES) AS VARCHAR2_T)) as COMMENTS
FROM
TBL_PROJECT
where PROJ_DATE >= to_date('5/1/2011','MM/DD/YYYY') and PROJ_DATE <= to_date('6/30/2011','MM/DD/YYYY')
PROJECT_NAME, USER_ID
order by USER_ID;
/** END SELECT
Where the VARCHAR2_T is:
CREATE OR REPLACE TYPE "VARCHAR2_T" as table of varchar2(4000)
and the function that collects the comments is:
/*** START CODE
create or replace function collect_func (t in varchar2_t)
return varchar2
as
ret varchar(4000) := '';
i number;
begin
i := t.first;
while i is not null loop
if ret is not null then
ret := ret || ' -- <BR> ';
end if;
ret := ret || t(i);
i := t.next(i);
end loop;
return ret;
end;
/*** END CODE

If you go to the SQL Workshop, SQL Commands window and try to execute:
SELECT
PROJECT_NAME, USER_ID, COLLECT_FUNC(CAST(COLLECT (COMMENTS_FLD) AS VARCHAR2_T)) as COMMENTS
FROM
TBL_PROJECT
group by PROJECT_NAME, USER_ID
order by USER_ID;
It will work for 10 row. But if you select 1000 rows, it fails because one of the projects has more than 4000 characters in the COMMENTS_FLD field. I expanded the VARCHAR to 6000 and it still fails.The VARCHAR2maximum size of <tt>VARCHAR2</tt> value that can be returned in Oracle SQL is 4000 bytes.
To return more than 4000 bytes, modify <tt>collect_func</tt> to return a CLOB, or use a different string aggregation technique. I normally (ab)use XMLDB for this as it:
<li>allows for either VARCHAR2 or CLOB output
<li>doesn't require any additional objects or privileges
<li>produces clean and properly structured XHTML without a lot of tedious and unreadable concatenations (my colleagues point out that it introduces a lot of tedious and unreadable XMLDB stuff instead)

PS...Collective PR indicator Functionality

Hi,
I am using collective PR functionality in projects. When I upload the material from external Excel sheet and transfer the BOM, single PR is getting created in the system, however the item nos in PR are not identical with the sr. nos. given in excel sheet. If you have any information on this please share.
KPG

Hi
Did you give the WBS elements the materials should be assigned to in the excel. If you have given WBS there then the items in the PR will be according to the WBS I think. Any please verify.

Query for collection is not function on SCCM 2012 R2

Hi,
I have a System Center 2012 R2 Config Manager as single management point. The SCCM is already have Endpoint Protection Point role installed. Then I need to create a new collection that contain all SCEP clients, to as deployment target of a rule and policy.
I've try to create a query-based collection, with the following query language :
select SMS_R_SYSTEM.ResourceID,SMS_R_SYSTEM.ResourceType,SMS_R_SYSTEM.Name,SMS_R_SYSTEM.SMSUniqueIdentifier,SMS_R_SYSTEM.ResourceDomainORWorkgroup,SMS_R_SYSTEM.Client from SMS_R_System inner join SMS_G_System_INSTALLED_SOFTWARE on SMS_G_System_INSTALLED_SOFTWARE.ResourceId
= SMS_R_System.ResourceId where SMS_G_System_INSTALLED_SOFTWARE.ProductName = "System Center 2012 Endpoint Protection"
But after the collection is created, none of the emerging client that have SCEP installed.
Earlier I have apply this query on the SCCM 2012 SP1 environtment, and it is work. But now I have migrate to the SCCM 2012 R2, and this query is seems not function on R2 version.
Is there difference query language between SCCM 2012 SP1 and R2?
Thanks.
Regards, Bar Waelah

Hi,
I saw System Center 2012 Endpoint Protection is under Installed Applications (64) node when I open Resource Explorer on a computer that installed System Center 2012 Endpoint Protection.
So I edited your query, then these computers appeared on the collection.
select SMS_R_SYSTEM.ResourceID,SMS_R_SYSTEM.ResourceType,SMS_R_SYSTEM.Name,SMS_R_SYSTEM.SMSUniqueIdentifier,SMS_R_SYSTEM.ResourceDomainORWorkgroup,SMS_R_SYSTEM.Client from SMS_R_System inner join SMS_G_System_ADD_REMOVE_PROGRAMS_64 on SMS_G_System_ADD_REMOVE_PROGRAMS_64.ResourceID
= SMS_R_System.ResourceId where SMS_G_System_ADD_REMOVE_PROGRAMS_64.DisplayName like "System Center 2012 Endpoint Protection"

Yoga 13: HID Sensor Collection : Auto-rotate functionality

Hi Guys,
I bought the Yoga 13 with Windows 8 but the non pro version. I wanted the pro version on so I can connect to a domain so I did a clean install - where I deleted the partition with the old OS.
Everything went great and all drivers that were are on the other partition that I left alone installed fine.
Here is the problem: I noticed that the auto-rotate functionality no longer works. After doing some research I found that the HID Sensor Collection is what controls this. If I look at the device manager I can see that their is a exclamation point next to the HID Sensor Collection Driver along with the Light Sensor driver.
They both give me the error:
This device cannot start (Code 10).
The process hosting the driver for this device has terminated.
I tried uninstalling and reinstalling the driver - this didn't help.
I've tried searching for this driver online - no luck.
I tried using the "update driver software" and it says: Windows has determined that your driver software for this device is up to date.
Any ideas how I can get the HID Sensor Collection working?
Thanks for your help!
Solved!
Go to Solution.

I had excatly the same problem after Windows 8 Pro N 64bit install, the device manager showed HID Sensor Collection and Light Sensor with exclamation points.
I found out that this might have something to do with Windows User Mode Driver Framework, Windows Media Player contains and utilises it. As Windows 8 Pro N didn't contain Media player, I downloaded it as Media Feature Pack from http://www.microsoft.com/en-us/download/details.aspx?id=30685. After the install HID Sensor Collection and Light Sensor were fine. Also Simple Device Orientation Sensor appeared.

Incremental updates on collections/full schedule - Functional question

Hi everyone,
At a customer of mine we have the following set-up:
Almost all applications are deployed User Based
Collections are used for targetting the applications
Incremental updates are enabled on practically all collections which deploy applications
For the moment this setup is active for 498 collections (out of 714 collections).
Since it's not advised and Microsoft recommends to only have incremental updates active for 200 collections, I would like to change this setup by means of POSH. I have just finished writing it, but I still have a functional question:
Which schedule time would be best to activate for the collections? Keep the standard value to update collection every 7 days?
When would you activate "incremental updates"? Device collections with required software for faster deployment time?
I only foresee the following "downside":
We have a lot of applications who are available to "all domain users". When the AD-account is created, it will sync with SCCM and will receive their deployements. But by changing the update schedule to, let's say, 7 days.. They wouldn't be able
to see and install these applications if the collections haven't been updated yet?
Thanks for the insight with your experience!
Kr,
Sven

Wow Jörgen, thanks for this information! This was something I haven't read about. Will keep this in mind.
In your blog, you mention that you use this tool to keep track of performance issues. When do you feel that there are too many collections which have incremental updates enabled (by using the tool)?
The last weeks/months, we have a lot of issues during OSD. We have collections to which the TS is deployed.
In orchestrator we have a runbook to add workstations to SCCM + add workstation to collection + update membership of collection. But the update takes from 5 minutes to 40 minutes.. So this is the main issue that we have..
@Andrew: Thanks for your contribution! I believe you are speaking of "Global Conditions"? I haven't used it either, but I thought that this had some downsides.. For instance, we target most of the applications "Used Based" (since MS is
moving to user centric deployment). So if I target the application to the "all users" collection and create a "global condition" to only install when user is a member of a specific AD-group (for instance: Skype), then the user still sees
"skype" in the application catalog and will have an error upon installing it when he is not a member of the skype AD-group.
Maybe this is completely wrong what I'm saying.. Just did some brainstorming with collegues but haven't found the time to play with it in a test environment. @Jörgen: Please enlighten us if I'm wrong.

Table function on a collection in Dynamic SQL

Hello,
I am trying to create a refcursor by selecting from a collection using table function.
If I use the Select statement the query executes, but if I put the Select statement in a string
the collection variable does not get resolved. The resaon I am putiing it in a string is because the
WHERE clause will be passed a parameter. The code below is an anonymous block but will be changed to a
procedure once I get it to work.
I have tried many different ways but was unsuccessful.
Please see if anybody cann assist or what I am trying to achive is not possible, so provide an alternative.
The error I am getting is
ORA-00904: "V_ALARM_REC_TABLE": invalid identifier

Thanks Timur/Solomon,
mc2_dev2 is the schema name.
mc2_alarm_rec_table is a SQL type.
Here are the scripts:
CREATE OR REPLACE TYPE MC2_DEV2.mc2_alarm_rec_type IS OBJECT
( record_cnt NUMBER,
rn number,
alarm_precision_order NUMBER(6),
alarm_rule_def_uid NUMBER(6),

CREATE OR REPLACE TYPE MC2_DEV2.MC2_ALARM_REC_TABLE IS TABLE OF MC2_DEV2.mc2_alarm_rec_type;
If I popoulate the cursor with the following code:
OPEN p_recordset FOR
select a.* from table (v_alarm_rec_table) a where a.alarm_rule_def_uid = 9;
there is no issue it works just fine.
But when when I use
OPEN p_recordset FOR v_query; ---- where v_query := v_select||v_table||v_where;
the variable v_alarm_rec_table does not get resolved.

How to calculate the total of absences? How to collect data from a specific line of a table?

Hi,
Again, I made a nice coloured picture from a screen capture which summarise the improvements that I would like to make in my form,
Situation:
For an educational purpose, I made this form   to simplify the way of recording the data and also to develope the independence of the students.
( I am doing this on a voluntary basis, working extra hours on my free time but I don't really mind because I am learning a lot of things in the same time)
After being tested by the teacher, the student has to record the short date, the lines memorised, his grade, number of mistakes, and his attendance.
I created everything in Word, then converted the file in PDF, then I created all the different fields with Adobe acrobat.
There is in total 4 sheets, there are all similar except the first one in which there is a box with: date started, date finished, total time spent, absences.
Below this box there is a table with 16 lines from (A to P) and 7 columns (Days, Date, From.. to.. , Grade, No. lines memorised, No. Errors, Attendance) ( so this table is present on all the sheets)
Due to the fact that some students need more time than others, and also beacause some text need more time, I estimated a need of 4 sheets at the very most.
I would like to make the following amelioration and automate the inputting of some of the data because I know that some of the students will certainly forget, so to avoid this scenario I am trying to make this form the easiest possible.
screen capture of the form:
screen capture of the form editing, you can see the names of the different fields:
here is the form (only the first page) : http://cjoint.com/12fe/BBotMMgfYIy_memorisation_sheet_sample.pdf
In yellow 00000:
At present, the students has to input the total of absences manually, is there a way ( script) to automate this by initialising the field next to "Absences" at " 0 day"   and then everytime that Absent is selected from the COMBO BOX, it add 1 and it is displayed like this: " 1 day" then " 2 days" then " 3 days" etc … (so from what I read I have to initialise a counter a the beginning and then for (i...   ) count= count++; something like this...
Furthermore, I need a solution to overcome the possibility that a second sheet may be needed for the same student; therefore I would need the data from the "attendance column" from the second sheet ( and perhaps the 3rd and 4th aswell) to be added on the "absences field" in the first sheet
My idea: everytime that the short date is inputted in the first line (next to A) in the "Date" column of one of the 4 sheets then we check the 16 Combo box of the attendance column in this sheet instead to check 16*4=64 fields fot the 4 sheets in one go?
but I don't know at all how to write it in Javascript. Or perhaps there is a way more easier than that?
Shall I allocate a value for Absent on the “ export value”?
In purple
At present I wrote a simple script which matches the number of lines to the poem selected (Eg. if I select the poem V.Hugo, the number "36" will appear next to Number of lines).
Again I would like the make the life of the students very easy so I would like a script which detects this number “36” on the "From .. to …" column, as soon it is detected (on the first sheet or 2nd or 3rd or 4th) check from the same line if "A / Pass" or "B / Pass" have been selected in the "Grade" column ,if yes the short date inputted on this line will be written on the field next to "Date finished" .
this is a simple example with 36 lines only but somethimes, the students may have to memorise 80 lines and more, this is the reason for having 4 sheets in total.
So basically I would like to automate the field next to" Date finished:" with a script that collect the short date from the day in which the student has finished his memorisation with "A / Pass" or "B / Pass"
As for the "Total time spent" George Johnson helped me with a script that calculate the difference betwen date started and date finished (thank you)
I am sollicting your help, because after trying for hours I was really confused with the different if/else needed. And in top of that, it’s my first experience with Javascript.
I anticipate your assistance, thanking you in advance.

I found this for counting the absences, its give you the total that's perfect, but is there a better methode which avoid me to write all the fields name, more simple????
( I found the idea here : Re: Total number added automatically )
// custom calculation script for field "Total #"
function CountFields(aFields) {
var nFields = 0;
for(i = 0; i < aFields.length; i++) {
try {
// count null values, export value of Absence is 0;
if(this.getField(aFields[i]).value == "0") nFields++;
} catch(e) {
if(e['message'] == "this.getField(aFields[i]) has no properties") app.alert("unknown field name: " + aFields[i]);
else app.alert(e.toString());
} // end catch
} // end for aFields
return nFields;
// create array of field names to count
var aNames = new Array("Sheet1AttendanceA","Sheet1AttendanceB","Sheet1AttendanceC","Sheet1AttendanceD","Sh eet1AttendanceE","Sheet1AttendanceF",
"Sheet1AttendanceG","Sheet1AttendanceH","Sheet1AttendanceI","Sheet1AttendanceJ","Sheet1Att endanceK","Sheet1AttendanceL",
"Sheet1AttendanceM","Sheet1AttendanceN","Sheet1AttendanceO","Sheet1AttendanceP" );
// count the non-null fields;
event.value = CountFields(aNames);
As for the 2nd question, I've tried to do something similar to the previous script, but of course it doesn't work, but I am quite sure that the idea is similar:
I don't know also how to add the other condition: the student should get A / Pass or B / Pass in order to consider he has finished??? and also how to check these condition from page 2, 3 and 4 and collect the date
function Datefinished(bFields) {
d2.value = nFields[i].value;
for(i = 0; i < aFields.length; i++) {
try {
if(this.getField(aFields[i]).value == this.getField("NumberLines").value) d2.value = nFields[i].value;
} catch(e) {
if(e['message'] == "this.getField(aFields[i]) has no properties") app.alert("unknown field name: " + aFields[i]);
else app.alert(e.toString());
} // end catch
} // end for aFields
return nFields;
// create array of field names to check
var aNames = new Array("Texte00","Texte54","Texte56","Texte58","Texte60","Texte62","Texte64","Texte66","Te xte68","Texte70","Texte72","Texte74","Texte76","Texte78","Texte80","Texte82");
var bNames = new Array("d1","d3","d4","d5","d6","d7","d8","d9","d10","d11","d12","d13","d14 ","d15","d16","d17");   // d1 is included because in some cases a student can finish in 1 day (short text);

Setting column for filter function

I've got the following code working for filtering data in a
grid, but it's currently hard-coded to only filter on the
"Character" column. (see the searchData function) I'm capturing the
string for the column that should be searched in the filterColumn
variable, but now I'm stuck as to how to 'inject' that string into
the IF statement of the searchData function. If someone can offer
an explanation I'd appreciate it.

Just remove anchor 'start of string' from the regexp ("^").

Using the result of a function, inside a subselect

Hi!
I´m wondering if it´s possible to use the result of a function inside a subselect. Let me give you an example of what I´m trying to do here:
select * from t_node where node_pk in (get_node_parents_pk(22345));
The function get_node_parents_pk stands in for the following SELECT-statment:
select node_pk from t_node_child where parent_node_pk = 12345
The statement above would return something like this: 12435,23423,23453,23452
These values represent the node_pk value for the parent nodes.
I want the get_node_parents_pk function to return a result set similar to this so that I might call it inside the IN ( ) statement.
Any clue? =)

I created a collection type in the database:
CREATE OR REPLACE TYPE nodes_pk_arr IS TABLE OF INTEGER;
The function get_node_parents_pk () is made to return the collection type above. However, this does not work. I get the following error message:
SELECT *
FROM t_node
WHERE node_pk IN
(SELECT * FROM TABLE (get_node_parents_pk (22345)));
ORA-22905: cannot access rows from a non-nested table item
However, if I insert a nodes_pk_arr collection directly into the SQL-statement, like I do below, it works:
SELECT *
FROM t_node
WHERE node_pk IN
(SELECT * FROM TABLE (nodes_pk_arr(24564,23545,34523));
So, when returning the collection from the function I´m told that the collection is not a nested table, when in fact it is. What gives?
Also, is there no way to return a result set directly from the get_node_parents_pk() function, making it possible to write the statement like that shown below?
SELECT *
FROM t_node
WHERE node_pk IN (get_node_parents_pk (22345));
Your reply is much appreciated!
Kind regards
Robert
