Content Search Query Builder - filtering for custom column value

I want to use a CSWP to display certain pages in a slideshow format on a site. However, to filter them in a preferred manner, the pages library has a custom column "Spotlight" which is a Boolean type (e.g. yes/no).
In my "Build Your Query" configuration page, I have added a keyword filter "SpotlightOWSBOOL=Yes" as the criteria to display my results. This is not working, despite the fact that I currently have pages flagged as "Spotlight"
in this library.
My question is - how can I achieve this result of displaying only pages with a custom column value "Spotlight" as "Yes"?

Hi Owen,
Could you capture a screenshot about your Crawled Property for your list column "Spotlight"? Is it name "SpotlightOWSBOOL"?
If your library column name is "Spotlight", you can create a custom
Manged Property (e.g. create name as SpotlightMangedProperty)to map the
Crawled Propery (e.g. may ows_spotlight, or ows_SpotlightOWSBOOL?) genegrated by list column "Spotlight", then start a full crawl.
Then you can add the keyword filter like below in "Build Your Query" dialog of CSWP web part, then check if the correct items are filtered.
SpotlightMangedProperty:"yes"
If the above value "yes" doesn't work, please also try
SpotlightMangedProperty:"True", or try SpotlightMangedProperty:1

Query to delete row where column value contains alphabets

Hi,
Could anyone please help me to get this query work.
Query to delete row where column value contains alphabets.
DELETE FROM BIN_ITEM WHERE order_nmb LIKE '%[A-Z]%' || LIKE '%[a-z]%'

But that won't reject strings like 'gfgG%dgh' which aren't pure alphabetic.
Try:
with test_data as (
select 'ghTYJYEhdfe' str from dual
union
select 'dfF5ssd' from dual
union
select 'rgth*dgheh' from dual
union
select 'ggf{' from dual

where regexp_instr(str,'[^[:alpha:]]')=0;

Result Source Query Builder Filter for Content Sources

I have several content sources that I want to add to a result source as a property filter. It works fine if I just have one but when I add multiple content sources it does not give me all the results. Is there a way to add more than one content source
filter to one result source.

Hi SpGurlz,
How did you set the filter with content source in the query builder for the result source?
I tested with more than one content source as filter in the query builder for the result source in my environment, and all the corresponding results were displayed fine.
The query text for the result source was set like this: {searchTerms} contentsource:file1 contentsource:file2.
Remember to add a space between the “{searchTerms}”, “contentsource:file1” and “contentsource:file2”.
You can provide the query text of your result source here and I will help to check the logic.
Best regards,
Victoria

Hi,
According to your post, my understanding is that you want to custom action for context menu in "Site Content and Structure" in SharePoint 2010.
In "SiteManager.aspx", SharePoint use MenuItemTemplate class which represent a control that creates an item in a drop-down menu.
For example, to create or delete the ECB menu for a list item in
"Site Content and Structure", we can follow the steps below:
To add the “My Like” menu, we can add the code below:
<SharePoint:MenuItemTemplate
UseShortId=false
id="OLListItemLike"
runat="server"
Text="My Like"
ImageUrl="/_layouts/images/DelItem.gif"
ClientOnClickNavigateUrl="https://www.google.com.hk/"
/>
To remove the “Delete” menu, we can comment the code below:
<SharePoint:MenuItemTemplate
UseShortId=false
id="OLListItemDelete"
runat="server"
Text="<%$Resources:cms,SmtDelete%>"
ImageUrl="/_layouts/images/DelItem.gif"
ClientOnClickScript="%SmtObjectDeleteScript%"
/>
The result is as below:
More information:
MenuItemTemplate Class (Microsoft.SharePoint.WebControls)
MenuItemTemplate.ClientOnClickScript property (Microsoft.SharePoint.WebControls)

Change layout of Adhoc query output list for Custom infotype

Hi All,
The fields in the Infoset query output on a custom infotype are aligned with the fields u2018payment typeu2019 and u2018amountu2019 appearing repeatedly(in columns) as declared in the Infotype and the output will be a long horizontal list.
Instead, the requirement is that the output list should show vertically so that If I choose u2018Payment Typeu2019 and u2018Amountu2019 as output fields, it will show a long vertical list as in the case of a standard infotype (IT0008).
Also, this way enables user to use Payment Type as a selection criteria so as to just pulling the needed payment type. When we use IT0008 in the infoset it works fine but in custom IT it does not work.
Any pointers/suggestions on how we can achieve this would be helpful.

Hi yu liang,
You can find vendor list having Vendor No. & without showing total liability for every vendor.
after executing the report,
1.You need to select "change layout (ctrl+F8)",
a small window comes, it has two part -> column content & hidden fields.
then u select "Vendor" from hidden field & move it to column content.
2. at column content there is a column named "Total". u need to remove check for your column name "amount".
now select "copy" button or enter. u will find the req. report.
u can save it also by ur name.
hope its helpful to u.......
plz, reward points as a way of thanks if helpful...

QBE Error when query by String for Number column

Hi,
I have a table with Number column.
The column structure is like below:
<af:column>
<af:inputText>
<f:validator .../>
<af:converNumber ..../>
</af:inputtext>
</af:column>
QBE is enabled for this column.
It works fine when query by Number value, such as '123'. But when I query by string like 'asd', it will return an error.
Anyone met this problem?

Hi Arun,
I am using Jdev 11.1.1.7.0.
In my case,
I have a application table, from where user can create new row inline. Some fields in the row have type Long or Number. We are also using <af:converNumber ..../> inside <af:inputText> to do format.
I do have a query panel above the table. But we want the user can also filter the records using QBE. Other columns are working fine, except the columns with type 'Number' or 'Long'.
I checked the incident log, below are some useful information:
Caused by: java.sql.SQLSyntaxErrorException: ORA-01722: invalid number
Caused by: oracle.jbo.SQLStmtException: JBO-27122: SQL error during statement preparation. Statement: SELECT ... FROM ... WHERE ... AND ( ( (MeaRulesEO.DEFAULT_MEA_PERIOD = :vc_temp_1 ) ) )
It seems 'MeaRulesEO.DEFAULT_MEA_PERIOD = :vc_temp_1' causes the error. Jdev assumes every input from QBE header as number. If String is entered, Jdev will return error.
I also checked that if the table is read-only, this problem does not exist.
Please help on this. Thank you.

Querying for custom picklist values

Hello all,
I have created a new field on my opportunity type called "Industry" and gave it picklist values. However, the system is not allowing me to query for the values using the Picklist web service. Am I missing a step here, or does the system not allow querying for custom picklist field values? I can get to certain lists of picklist values for Opportunity (Type, Probability, some others) but not the picklist I created. Am I doing something wrong?
Thanks!
-Kevin Green

Hi,
Find integration tag for custom field in Field Setup. When you call getPicklist method, pass three values like Object type(ex: Lead), integratin tag for the custom field, "" ( this is language, this field is no need for English languague)
Hope this willl work

XMLGEN: Produce XML dump of a table WITH tags for null column values

I am new to generating XML so bear with me....
We have a customer who needs an XML extract of data, including tags for any column that is null.
I created a simple test case below using DBMS_XMLGEN.getXML. The first row (A1) has no null values and thus tags for columns A, BEE and CEE are produced. The second row (A2) has null in column BEE and thus tags for only columns A and CEE are produced.
Is there a way to force a tag for null column BEE in the second row?
create table foo (A varchar2(10), BEE number, CEE date);
insert into foo values ('A1',1,sysdate);
insert into foo values ('A2',null,sysdate);
SELECT DBMS_XMLGEN.getXML('SELECT * FROM foo') FROM dual;
<ROWSET>
<ROW>
<A>A1</A>
<BEE>1</BEE>
<CEE>27-SEP-12</CEE>
</ROW>
<ROW>
<A>A2</A>
<CEE>27-SEP-12</CEE>
</ROW>
</ROWSET>

What's the database version? (SELECT * FROM v$version)
Could you use this instead :
SQL> select xmlserialize(document
2           xmlelement("ROWSET",
3             xmlagg(
4               xmlelement("ROW",
5                 xmlelement("A", a)
6               , xmlelement("BEE", bee)
7               , xmlelement("CEE", cee)
8               )
9             )
10           )
11         -- for display purpose only :
12         as clob indent

</ROW>
<ROW>
    <A>A2</A>
    <BEE/>
    <CEE>2012-09-27</CEE>
</ROW>
</ROWSET>
Or,
SQL> select xmlserialize(document
2           xmlquery(
3             '(#ora:view_on_null empty #)
4             {
5               <ROWSET>{fn:collection("oradb:/DEV/FOO")}</ROWSET>
6             }'
7             returning content
8           )
9           as clob indent
10         )
11 from dual;
XMLSERIALIZE(DOCUMENTXMLQUERY(
<ROWSET>
<ROW>
    <A>A1</A>
    <BEE>1</BEE>
    <CEE>2012-09-27</CEE>
</ROW>
<ROW>
    <A>A2</A>
    <BEE/>
    <CEE>2012-09-27</CEE>
</ROW>
</ROWSET>
(where "DEV" is my test schema)
If you want to stick with DBMS_XMLGEN, you're gonna have to use PL/SQL and setNullHandling procedure.

Using '=' to check for NULL column value

We are currently encountering an issue where 10.1.0.5 is happily accepting a check on a column for a null value with what I have always known to be an invalid syntax.
For instance:
select col1 from my table where col1=null
Although this is wrong and we are working on locating the queries formatted as such, what I am wondering is why is it working on the 10.1.0.5 version but we cannot get the same query to execute on 8i, 9i, 10.2.0...? Is there a flag that can be enabled to allow this compare?

I am familiar with the correct syntax to be using. What I am looking for is a possible explanation as to why the query below returns the correct results on 10.1.0.5 and returns nothing in all other versions. I would expect the same behavior across all instances. See the two lines in bold "AREA=NULL" and "SUBAREA=NULL"

Query not executing for one particular value

Hi
I have query on multi provider. and this multi provider is combination of Info objects only but not any ODS or cubes. I have one key figure in this multi provider.while executing the query i need to give input for variabl which has 7 different values. Query is executing fine for 6 values but not for one particular value.
query executed in listcube transaction and it is executed fine here for the same selection. then what might be the reason?
Please advise as soon as possible.
Thanks

Hi Kiran,
are you maintaining any filters in the query? or is there any logic in the exit for this variable.
regards.

)Hi Experts,
     I've provided sample data where I'm checking for just two columns viz brwr_short_name ,sic_code,but in real time
I've to check for 8 more columns so please suggest me with a better approach.
I appreciate your precious suggestions.

Hi,
Thanks for posting the CREATE TABLE and INSERT statements; that really helps!
Here's one wa. Like your 2nd approach, this uses a self-join:
WITH     got_r_num     AS
     SELECT ca_id
     ,     ROW_NUMBER () OVER ( PARTITION BY ca_id
                               ,                    fac_id
                         ORDER BY        ca_ver_num
                             )    AS r_num
     ,     brwr_short_name
     ,     TO_CHAR (sic_code)     AS sic_code
     ,     fac_id
--     ,     ...     -- Other columns (using TO_CHAR if needed)
     FROM     r_dummy
,     unpivoted_data     AS
     SELECT     *
     FROM     got_r_num
     UNPIVOT     INCLUDE NULLS
          (    txt
          FOR column_name IN ( brwr_short_name          AS 'BRWR_SHORT_NAME'
                        , sic_code               AS 'SIC_CODE'
--                        , ...     -- Other columns
SELECT       p.ca_id
,       p.fac_id
,       p.column_name
,       p.txt          AS previous_name
,       a.txt          AS after_modification
FROM       unpivoted_data   p
JOIN       unpivoted_data   a ON p.ca_id     = a.ca_id
                       AND p.fac_id     = a.fac_id
                     AND p.column_name     = a.column_name
                     AND p.r_num      = a.r_num - 1
                     AND p.txt || 'X' != a.txt || 'X'
ORDER BY a.r_num
;To include other columns, add them in the 2 places where I put the comment "Other columns".
Ca_ver_num can have any values, not just 2.00 and 3.00.
This will show cases where a value in one of the columns changed to NULL, or where NULL changed to a value.
There ought to be a way to do this without a separate sub-query like got_r_num. According to the SQL Language manual, you can put expressions in the UPIVOT ... IN list, but when I tried
...     UNPIVOT     INCLUDE NULLS
          (    txt
          FOR column_name IN ( brwr_short_name          AS 'BRWR_SHORT_NAME'
                             , TO_CHAR (sic_code)     AS 'SIC_CODE'
          )I got the error "ORA_00917: missing comma" right after TO_CHAR. Perhaps someone else can show how to eliminate one of the sub-queries.

Transfer OTL to Payroll is not working for Custom Field Values

Hi,
We have Extended the Payroll and Project layout in OTL to include custom fields.
Now linked the fields to Element entries input values.
The issue happens when a retro batch is processed and transfered to Payroll the input values are not getting pulled properly.
i.e. The retro batch creates a positive value for the new retro entry and a Counter negative value for the old record.
Only in the case of Negative value, the issue is happening. For the positive value it is pulling the record properly from the custom fields.
Can you please let me know, how to debug the same.
Also this issue happens randomly not all the employees are facing this issue.
Thanks,
Raja Rajan

Hi Rsn,
just check the put this code in
1st way--
jjust import the api in your custom Action class
import com.sap.isa.core.logging.IsaLocation;
private final static IsaLocation log = IsaLocation.getInstance(ZcustomeAction.class.getName());
then
log.error("value"+value);
in this way you can debug the code...if not possible thenn...
you can write...
System.err.println("value"+value);
you can also try to this way..i think it will work now
Thanks
Jati
