Customizing af:query

Hi,
Is it possible to customize af:query component? To be precise, I need to translate Search and Reset buttons as well as Match All/Any radio buttons.
Thanks,
Goran

I have tried to create my own class and did everything like in example in the book, but it doesn't work.
Here are my steps (maybe I'm doing something wrong):
- created class SkinBundle that extends ListResourceBundle
- defined af_query.SEARCH = xxxyyy
- created trinidad-skins.xml
- defined new skin as
<skin>
<id>ts.query</id>
<family>ts</family>
<render-kit-id>org.apache.myfaces.trinidad.desktop</render-kit-id>
<bundle-name>mypackage.SkinBundle</bundle-name> //also tried with org.apache.myfaces.trinidaddemo.resource.SkinBundle - nothing
</skin>
- changed trinidad-config.xml tag <skin-family> to ts
I have also tried to add <extends>fusion</extends> but still no luck.
Everytime application uses simple skin, and of course, search and reset button remained in English.
Is there any other way to do this (not thinking of javascript :))?
Thanks
Goran

Hi Niels,
As I'm sure you know, the conundrum is that Reports doesn't know how many total pages there will be in the report until it is all done formatting, which is too late for your needs. So, one classical solution to this problem is to run the report twice, storing the total number of pages in the database using a format trigger, and throwing away the output from the first run when you don't know the total number of pages.
Alternatively, you could define a report layout so that the number of pages in the output is completely predictable based upon, say, the number of rows in the main query. E.g., set a limit of one, two, ... rows per page, and then you'll know how many pages there will be simply because you can count the rows in a separate query.
Hope this helps...

Stewart

Can we implement the custom sql query in CR for joining the two tables

Hi All,
Is there anyway to implement the custom sql query in CR for joining the two tables?
My requirement here is I need to write sql logics for joining the two tables...
Thanks,
Gana

In the Database Expert, expand the Create New Connection folder and browse the subfolders to locate your data source.
Log on to your data source if necessary.
Under your data source, double-click the Add Command node.
In the Add Command to Report dialog box, enter an appropriate query/command for the data source you have opened.
For example:
SELECT
    Customer.`Customer ID`,
    Customer.`Customer Name`,
    Customer.`Last Year's Sales`,
    Customer.`Region`,
    Customer.`Country`,
    Orders.`Order Amount`,
    Orders.`Customer ID`,
    Orders.`Order Date`
FROM
    Customer Customer INNER JOIN Orders Orders ON
        Customer.`Customer ID` = Orders.`Customer ID`
WHERE
    (Customer.`Country` = 'USA' OR
    Customer.`Country` = 'Canada') AND
    Customer.`Last Year's Sales` < 10000.
ORDER BY
    Customer.`Country` ASC,
    Customer.`Region` ASC
Note: The use of double or single quotes (and other SQL syntax) is determined by the database driver used by your report. You must, however, manually add the quotes and other elements of the syntax as you create the command.
Optionally, you can create a parameter for your command by clicking Create and entering information in the Command Parameter dialog box.
For more information about creating parameters, see To create a parameter for a command object.
Click OK.
You are returned to the Report Designer. In the Field Explorer, under Database Fields, a Command table appears listing the database fields you specified.
Note:
To construct the virtual table from your Command, the command must be executed once. If the command has parameters, you will be prompted to enter values for each one.
By default, your command is called Command. You can change its alias by selecting it and pressing F2.

Optimize query results(timing) returned from custom search query

Casey can you send the following to Oracle Support as soon as you can, we need their input on optimizing returning search results.
To Oracle:
We have noticed in the IdocScript reference guide that there is a way to optimize the query results returning to the user.
Here is the scenario: We have created a custom web query where we send a query to the UCM and return a result using a custom template via url like so
http://dnrucm.dnr.state.la.us/ucm/idcplg?IdcService=GET_SEARCH_RESULTS&QueryText=dDocTitle <matches> `AGREEMENT` <AND> xStateLeaseNum<matches>`00340`&ResultCount=30&SortOrder=Desc&SortField=dInDate&urlTemplate=/ucm/groups/public/documents/oos/hcst-search.hcst
This works fine. The problem is that when a query is broader like
http://dnrucm.dnr.state.la.us/ucm/idcplg?IdcService=GET_SEARCH_RESULTS&QueryText= xStateLeaseNum<matches>`00340`&ResultCount=30&SortOrder=Desc&SortField=dInDate&urlTemplate=/ucm/groups/public/documents/oos/hcst-search.hcst
The query takes an extremely long time to execute and the results template sometimes never comes back, which seems like a timeout.
Is there something else that we can do to optimize the query results?

Hi John,
What version of xMII are you using?
Some things I would try:
1. Clear the Java Web Start Cache - see if that makes any difference.
2. If not, what happens if you save the query under a different name, and then try using it in a new transaction?
3. Please feel free to enter you case into xMII Support via the SAP Support Portal if you are unable to make this work.

Parameter passing to custom SQL query using PL/SQL FUNCTION

Hi
In order to pass a parameter to the query in custom folder of a business area I created a function and mapped it to the Custome query using Discoverer Desktop. There is no error in mapping as the system does not throw any error. When I am inputting the Parameter for the input values everytime the query doesnot return any rows.
Can anybody help in this regard

Hi,
I need to take the request Id as input from the user and then fetch only the data pertaining to that requet Id. As a lot of complex joins are involved I need to pass request id as parameter to the custome folder.
The package i greated:
CREATE OR REPLACE PACKAGE SETPARAM
AS
param1 varchar2(25);
param2 varchar2(25);
FUNCTION SET_PARAM1(p1 IN varchar2) RETURN NUMBER ;
FUNCTION GET_PARAM1 RETURN varchar2;
END SETPARAM;
CREATE OR REPLACE PACKAGE BODY SETPARAM AS
FUNCTION SET_PARAM1(p1 IN varchar2) RETURN NUMBER IS
BEGIN
fnd_client_info.set_org_context('138');
param1 := p1;
dbms_output.put_line(param1);
RETURN 1;
END;
FUNCTION GET_PARAM1 RETURN varchar2 AS
BEGIN
RETURN param1;
END;
END SETPARAM;
I registered the set_param1 function as a pl/sql function in discoverer admin.
This function is called on the condition associated with the parameter in Discoverer Desktop when i run the report.
In the custom folder query i have this piece in the where clause
WHERE tnfo.request_id = NVL(APPS.SETPARAM.GET_PARAM1,7383588)
And everytime i get the data pertaining to request id =7383588,
Please suggest where i went wrong
thanks

Customer Ageing query

Hi
We have a standard query in BW for customer ageing query 0FIAR_C03_Q0002.
In this query we have several dates
1. Document date
2. Posting date
3. Base line date
4. Net due date.
Its very tough to understand what is the significance of these dates and how the query is calculated based on which date. I am finding it difficult to xplani to the client about this report.
Can anyone explain me about these dates and how the query is calculated on which date.
Regards
Annie

Hi
When i execute the query, there is a variable called KEY DATE(*). What is that date. When i see in the query designer, there is no variable specified in filter, free characteristics or Rows. Then from where is this varialbe is getting popping up.
and when i enter a date, how it is going to calculate. I am very much confused. need your inputs.

Possible to execute custom SQL query?

Is it possible to execute a custom SQL query and get back a collection of
objects with Kodo JDO? Query expression languages like JDOQL are all very
well (I actually think JDOQL is pretty messy), but sometimes when you've
got a complex query (and you know you're using a RDBMS) it is best
accomplished in a SQL statement. I see Kodo has extended JDOQL, which is
good, but developing custom extensions seems to be limited to implementing
kodo.jdbc.query.JDBCFilterListener where you can customise the where
clause. What I want to be able to do is to specify the entire SQL string.
I am looking into using Kodo JDO for my organisation, and being able to
use custom SQL is something i would expect (and something we can do with
our current O/R mapping product (TopLink)).

Alex

Execute custom SQL query in OIM11g

Hi,
Can you please provide me some java code snippet to execute a custom sql query and also to get db connection to execute this query in OIM 11g. I am going to run this query in an adapter.
Thanks a lot for ur help.
Mike

Hey Mike,
Use the below sample code to get db connection and then to execute a query in OIM11g.
String query = "SELECT UD_ADUSER_EMAIL FROM UD_ADUSER WHERE upper(UD_ADUSER_UID) like '%TESTU%'";
Connection con = Platform.getOperationalDS().getConnection();
PreparedStatement preparedStatement = con.prepareStatement(query);
ResultSet resultSet = preparedStatement.executeQuery();
while(resultSet.next())
System.out.println("Output:"+resultSet.getString(1));
}

Incorrectly read attributes with custom SQL query

Hi folks,
I'm trying to read in a random sampling of records from a table, so I tried:
ReadAllQuery q = new ReadAllQuery();
q.setReferenceClass(Foo.class);
q.addPartialAttribute("bar");
q.setSQLString("select * from Foo sample(10)");
q.useCursoredStream(100,100, new ValueReadQuery("select count(*) from Foo sample(10)"));
This all worked fine, the Foos were retrieved, but after the first dozen or so, all the "bar" attributes were null, which they should not be. This only occurs when using a custom SQL string. I tried bringing back all the objects (i.e., without using setSQLString) and examining them and all the "bar"s were present. But when I use setSQLString the attributes don't get read correctly.
Can anyone tell me what I'm doing wrong? Is there a better way to do it?
Thanks,
Bryn

Okay, here's the actual code:
ReadAllQuery q = new ReadAllQuery();
q.setReferenceClass(ActivityCenter.class);
boolean useCustom = true;
if (useCustom) {
q.setSQLString("SELECT SetupDt, TerminationDt, ReinstateDt, IID, upDt, ID, " +
"Stat, SubType, Acct FROM ACtr");
q.useCursoredStream(100,100, new ValueReadQuery("select count(IID) from actr"));
} else {
q.useCursoredStream(100,100);
session.logMessages();
activityCenters = (CursoredStream) session.executeQuery(q);
ActivityCenter ac = (ActivityCenter) activityCenters.read();
if (ac.getAccount() == null) {
System.err.println(ac.getID() + ": Oops!");
} else {
System.err.println(ac.getID() + ": Has account!");
System.exit(0);
So, everything about this program is the same - how the mapping is done, how things get initialized, everything. The only difference is whether I use a custom SQL query or not. Here's what it looks like when I run it both ways:
First, custom:
DatabaseSession(2433702)--Connection(393272)--SELECT SetupDt, TerminationDt, ReinstateDt, IID, upDt, ID, Stat, SubType, Acct FROM ACtr
1.1: Oops!
Now, without the custom SQL:
DatabaseSession(393272)--Connection(7896086)--SELECT SetupDt, TerminationDt, ReinstateDt, IID, upDt, ID, Stat, SubType, Acct FROM ACtr
DatabaseSession(393272)--Connection(7896086)--SELECT
//bunch of fields from the Acct attribute...
FROM Acct WHERE (IID= 'ffbe5c47f3ea762cfd50fbe9e6d6de6')
1.1: Has account!
Notice that the first query on Actr is identical in both cases. Also note there are no null Actr.acct fields in the database:
SQL> select * from actr where actr.acct is null;
no rows selected
SQL>
This is on Oracle 9i, with the thin jdbc driver.
Also, I was curious that you asked if I was using partial attributes - when I try to add a partial attribute when using the custom SQL string, I get exceptions like this one:
java.lang.ClassCastException: oracle.toplink.internal.queryframework.CallQueryMechanism
at oracle.toplink.queryframework.ObjectLevelReadQuery.initializeDefaultBuilder(Unknown Source)

Customer master Query report doesnt pick all the customer account groups

Hello experts
We have a custom Query report created using customer master tables KNA1,KNVV,KNB1 etc. We have customers maintained under 5 customer account groups. One of the selection fields in the query is account group. But it displays customers only in 4 of the 5 account groups for some reason, even though we have customers maintained in that group(prospective customers).
Any reason why this could occur? How do i ensure that customers from all account groups are visible?
Thanks in advance

Hai Ravi
In SAP query if you join
KNA1 - KNB1- KNVV
General - Sasles data - company data
May be your 5th Account type is created without company code data.
The query will display only if the data is linked in all tables.
In case if you don't have company code data but you want the details of the account group customer
In the query join screen.
Right click on the joining line between KNB1 and KNVV and select Left outer join.
Now run the report , it will show all the account group data.

Mani

Custom Report Query - Patches install on specific computer AND date installed

I'm looking to create a 2 custom reports that show installed. I have a similar report already but it shows patches needing to be installed.
Devices in a collection with columns for total number security patches installed (I'll break them out further by severity)
Breakdown of each patch installed on a computer (from report 1) and the date installed. (may also include severity, KB article, description etc. I already have these fields)
Essentially I'm looking for the query to pull this data and add to an existing report format I'm already using.
Ideas?

Garth,
Thanks for the reply. I've flipped the 2->3 in the report and that gave me what I needed.
The other piece was the date installed. This was not in either report. I did however find it under the database view ucsa.LastStatusChangeTime which my report was already pulling.

Customer Attrition Query

Hi all, I'm hoping someone can suggest the best approach to my issue.
I'm trying to write a query to analyse the retention of customer purchases for each given month. So given a simple purchase order table (Sales), which contains each purchase a customer has made I want to derive a status for a customer against each month,
the derived status has to show whether the customer has made a purchase in the previous month and in the current month, or if they have made a purchase in the previous month but not in the current month etc... the stauses can be arbitrary e.g., retained, returning
or similar...
The query will run on a table with millions of rows so has to be effiicient and I can't use any temp tables, pivot or partition functions and will probably have a left join with a calendar dimenion table.
Initial thoughts are obviously a self join with a (month -1) condition but can't think of how to determine previous month and past activity to relate the each current month.
Many thanks in advance!!!
Here is a very simple sample table,
CREATE TABLE [dbo].[SALES](
[SALE_DATE] [date] NULL,
[USERID] [int] NULL,
[INVOICE_AMOUNT] float NULL,
[SALE_YEAR_MONTH] [int] NULL,
) ON [PRIMARY]
GO
INSERT [dbo].[SALES] ([SALE_DATE], [USERID], [INVOICE_AMOUNT], [SALE_YEAR_MONTH]) VALUES ('2012-01-02', 8, 33, 201201)
INSERT [dbo].[SALES] ([SALE_DATE], [USERID], [INVOICE_AMOUNT], [SALE_YEAR_MONTH]) VALUES ('2013-01-01', 8, 232, 201301)
INSERT [dbo].[SALES] ([SALE_DATE], [USERID], [INVOICE_AMOUNT], [SALE_YEAR_MONTH]) VALUES ('2013-01-02', 8, 54, 201301)
INSERT [dbo].[SALES] ([SALE_DATE], [USERID], [INVOICE_AMOUNT], [SALE_YEAR_MONTH]) VALUES ('2013-02-02', 8, 122, 201302)
INSERT [dbo].[SALES] ([SALE_DATE], [USERID], [INVOICE_AMOUNT], [SALE_YEAR_MONTH]) VALUES ('2014-01-01', 8, 75, 201401)
INSERT [dbo].[SALES] ([SALE_DATE], [USERID], [INVOICE_AMOUNT], [SALE_YEAR_MONTH]) VALUES ('2014-01-02', 8, 333, 201401)
INSERT [dbo].[SALES] ([SALE_DATE], [USERID], [INVOICE_AMOUNT], [SALE_YEAR_MONTH]) VALUES ('2014-01-03', 8, 3325, 201401)

Why do you think that “can be arbitrary” is a clear spec that we can use to write Code????
Thanks you for the DDL, but it stinks and has to be thrown out. You have no key, illegally use FLOAT for money, have a redundant year_month column. We sell to customers, not users. Here is my guess at a skeleton:
CREATE TABLE Sales
(sale_date DATE DEFAULT CURRENT_TIMESTAMP NOT NULL,
customer_id CHAR(16) NOT NULL,
PRIMARY KEY (sale_date, customer_id),
invoice_amount DECIMAL(12,2) NOT NULL
CHECK (invoice_amount >= 0.00));
Since SQL is a database language, we prefer to do look ups and not calculations. They can be optimized while temporal math messes up optimization. A useful idiom is a report period calendar that everyone uses so there is no way to get disagreements in the DML.
The report period table gives a name to a range of dates that is common to the entire enterprise.
CREATE TABLE Month_Periods
(month_name CHAR(10) NOT NULL PRIMARY KEY
CHECK (month_name LIKE '[12][0-9][0-9][0-9]-[01][0-9]-00'),
month_start_date DATE NOT NULL,
month_end_date DATE NOT NULL,
CONSTRAINT date_ordering
CHECK (month_start_date <= month_end_date),
etc);
These report periods can overlap or have gaps. I like the MySQL convention of using double zeroes for months and years, That is 'yyyy-mm-00' for a month within a year and 'yyyy-00-00' for the whole year. The advantages are that it will sort with the ISO-8601
data format required by Standard SQL and it is language independent. The pattern for validation is '[12][0-9][0-9][0-9]-00-00' and '[12][0-9][0-9][0-9]-[01][0-9]-00'
Here is the correct syntax for INSERT INTO; that old Sybase stuff has been dead for several releases.
INSERT INTO Sales (sale_date, customer_id, invoice_amount)
VALUES ('2012-01-02', '00008', 33.00)
('2013-01-01', '00008', 232.00),

Bug : Customizing af:query component

Hi,
I am using jdev 11.1.1.6.0 version. I want to know how i can customize the error messages displayed by an af:query component. Example: suppose i am using advanced search on a field called productId. The search criteria used is 'Between' and if i mention only one value in the text field and the other text field is empty. Error message pops up saying that Attribute ProductId is required. I want to customize this message with my own error message. How can i achieve this ?
Thanks in advance.

Count the number of customer in query designer

Dear Friends,
I am trying to create a query where we have two key figures.
( Division )      (Total Customer)        (Total Customer who purchase)
10                      10                                 5
20                       20                              15
This means i need two figures one is total number of customer against
each division irrespect of sales either they purchase somthing or not means read from
master data.
and second figure i need total number of customer who purchase
from us by eash division.
second KF is achived by creating a New Formula and put 1 in detail view and
in aggregation tab i select total option and in ref. char. i choose division.
now i am getting right number of customer who purchased from us.
for KF one i dont know how can we read from master data for customer count.
i know there is a option for characterstics in advance properties choose from
transaction data or from master data but i am unable to build logic for counting using
these advance features.
any help higly appricated.
Regards,
Malik

HI,
Maintain the Total Customer as an attribute..
Then this characteristic has the values from master data..
THen Convert this characteristic into key figure using Formula Variable with Replacement path.
Using Formula varaible with replacemant path, we can convert a characteristic into key fure..
I Hope u can achieve the result now...
Hope this helps u..
Best Regards.
