Data conversion is necessary at field level

Hi everybody.
Im a BW consultant in a BCS project, and I had to make a change in a objetct that is used in BCS as a custom attribute.
What I made, is to remove the ALPHA routine in the object.
Later, the BCS consultant generetad the data basis again, and now when enter the UCWB a warning is showed, the message below:
But I dont know how to do the procedure showed in the message, does anyone face with the same problem? Any suggestion?

Field /BIC/ZC_EMPBPM: Data conversion is necessary
Message no. UGMD418
Diagnosis
Following a change to the definition of field /BIC/ZC_EMPBPM it is necessary to convert the old data for this field before the new attributes can be activated. This arises, for example, when the following attributes have been changed:
Conversion exit
Version or time dependency of hierarchies
System Response
You cannot start the application. A data conversion is necessary first.
Procedure
Execute the necessary data conversion at the field level. To do this, press the respective button with the symbol in the hierarchical detail display at the level of field /BIC/ZC_EMPBPM. If necessary, the system will prompt you for more information in a separate dialog box.
Regards!

Hi,
I quess the following should help.
Execute UCWB01 t-code, goto your data basis, in the tabstrip for assigning roles drag and drop any characteristic, then save. The system will find the change and check and regenerate data structures (that's what you need).
Then either in UCWB or UCWB02 t-code got your ConsArea and regenerate it.

How to fix the field level Error(Invalid Date)

Hi All,
Error: 1 (Field level error)
  SegmentID: ACK
  Position in TS: 5
  Data Element ID: ACK05
  Position in Segment: 5
  Data Value: 162014
  8: Invalid Date
can anyone help me out, How to fix above error? i searched about this but only information about the error is given and no where it is mentioned how to fix it and how is it generated please help me out.
Thanks,
Nitish

Are you sending or receiving the EDI?
Either way, "162014" is simply not a valid EDI data format. Dates in x12 are expressed as CCYYMMDD so December 30, 2013 would appear as 20131230.
If you are receiving, you need to contact the sender and have them correct the output.
If you are sending, you need to property format that date value. For example:
myDateVar.ToString("yyyyMMdd");

Date conversion for internal table

Hi experts,
I have an issue with Date conversion.
i have declared my internal table with type same as that of standard table from which im fetching data.
The date is coming in YYYYMMDD format and i have to change it to MM/DD/YYYY format.
I tried using a function Module and used Mask as well . It is working but wen im putting the value back into my internal table it is truncating my conver sion .
For eg : 20110530 after conversion and wen im putting it back to internal table value is : 05/30/20
bacuse of length issue "11" disappeared.
I tried changing the type declaration of my internal table to : date(10) type c.
But wen im executing the code, the place were im putting the values from my standard table to internal, it is giving run time error.
can anyonenhelp me with this?

Hi,
Why not have the date in MMDDYYYY format truncating the '/' part. Doing this would reduce the size to 8. Which can later be added in any field level rotine.

Data conversion of material BOM by LSMW

Hi,
Right now I try to work on LSMW setting for data conversion of material BOM. However, I forgot how to set
the linkage of BOM header & item at LSMW since my last
experience was 1 year ago. I have set up 2 source structures, BOM_HD (header) & BOM_IT (item) from 2 files. Both source
structures contain one same source field, BOM_ID. From this identical BOM_ID field, the linkage of BOM header and items is set up between 2 files. Can
anyone know how to make the setting at LSMW ?
Thanks.
Regards,
Nancy

hello nancy,
their is no need of getting seperate reacording for both header and item. it will be enough if with only one in th lsmw in the first step u select the direct input method
and at source structure level create two strucutres such that one can be for header and the other would be for item
then in the same way while specifying file give first the header file and then the item file.
at the same step check whether the convert data is getting the logical path and file name or not if u dont then double click at that possition and create it. then ur recording will be done perfectly.
if u want the entire steps with screen shot i can send u

While inserting numeric data into a character datatype field and vice versa

Oracle tries an automatic conversion, when possible. Post an example of a character type data inserted into a numeric column.

R/3 Date Conversion problem

How to convert the R/3 Date to Array.

If you are receiving a date field from R/3, please use <b>SimpleDateFormat</b>(class) to re-arrange your date in any fashion. Along with the method <b>format</b> you can just have your date in any format :
DD-MM-YYYY
MM-DD-YY
DD-MMMMM-YYYY (Month will be spelled out as text)
All you need to do is :
SimpleDateFormat sf = new SimpleDateFormat("DD/MM/YYYY");
sf.format(myDateField);
Since R/3 date conversion is usually for this reason, I mentioned the above class.

Data Conversion Logic

I am now trying to implement a data conversion logic(such as UOM field), I want to load all the data conversion rules in the cache from file and keep them in the cache. So when mapping starts it just picks up the data conversion rules from the cache.
Using GlobalContainer it is ok for one mapping even several UOM fields(just load from file once). But it will load from file again when the mapping is triggered again.
Is there any logic I can use to implememt the data conversion just load from file once?
Regards,
Nick

Hi Arnold,
normally every input should be made in LC, why you enter the data in group currency?
However if you have to start from group currency the only solution to avoid this error is to put at the end of sprunconversion the ON_ERROR_CONTINUE clause.
But remember he will stop to notify every type of error so you have to be very careful and have this clear in mind when some issue occurs with the currency conversion.

Data Conversion issue

Hello I'm new to Oracle DB and still learn SQL.
I have a problem with data conversion in a CASE expression.
Example:
select ... ,
CASE column WHEN 1 THEN
select max(column)
from table
where ...
ELSE 0 END AS value,
from     ...
where ...
order by ...
What I'm basically intend to do is to select a value from another table depending on the value of
a special column.
The problem now is that the
select max(column)
from table
where ...
statement in its original form selects the right value as float (e.g. 0.24)which I need.
But the same statement embedded in the CASE expression returns (e.g. 0 ) which seems to be the same result converted to an integer or something.
I tried to convert the result in the CASE expression but without success.
Does anybody know what could cause this behavior and how to fix it ?
Thanks for any help with this.

Welcome to the forum!
Whenever you have a problem, post a complete script that people can run to re-create the problem. Include CREATE TABLE and INSERT statements for a little sample data if necessary. (A lot of folks show the problem using commonly available tables, such as those in the scott or hr schemas, so they don't have to post any sample data.)
if your problem involves an error message, post the complete error message you're getting, including line numbers.
Always say which version of Oracle you're using, e.g. 10.2.0.1.0.
Sorry, I can't re-create the problem.
I did something as similar as I could to what you posted:
SELECT       deptno
,       CASE deptno
          WHEN 10
          THEN (
               SELECT MAX (sal)
               FROM     scott.emp
               WHERE     deptno     = d.deptno
          ELSE 0
       END          AS value
,       dname
FROM       scott.dept     d
WHERE       deptno     <= 30
ORDER BY deptno
;And it ran, producing this output:
`   DEPTNO      VALUE DNAME
        10       5000 ACCOUNTING
        20          0 RESEARCH
        30          0 SALES

Issue with Date Conversion when loading XML File into Oracle 10g Database

Hello all,
I have the interface shown in the screenshot below. In it, amongst other actions, I'm mapping an XML file element representing a date to an Oracle table column defined as DATE. The source and target columns are highlighted in the screenshot.
!http://img223.imageshack.us/img223/1565/odiscr275.jpg!
When I execute the interface, I get the following error message:
java.lang.IllegalArgumentException at java.sql.Date.valueOf(Date.java:103)
I'm assuming this refers to the date conversion!
I've already tried replacing SRC_TRADES.DEAL_DATE with TO_DATE( SRC_TRADES.DEAL_DATE, 'DD/MM/YYYY' ) in the Implementation tab. This function was not recognised when I executed the interface, so it didn't work! The date value in the XML file is in DD/MM/YYYY format.
I'm guessing that Oracle SQL Date functions don't work in the Implementation tab. Please could somebody let me know:
1. Which Date Conversion function I could use instead?
2. Where I can find a reference for the methods/functions I can use in the Implementation tab (if such a reference exists)?
Cheers.
James

Hi.
Try to change the execution area to staging area. After You change it, write in the mapping box just SRC_TRADERS.DEAL_DATE. When You use TO_DATE, the source field typu should be varchar2, not date (as it is in your source datastore)

Oracle 10g - Varchar(2) to Date conversion

I have a single table, SOURCE_DATA,containing import data. The import data contains a date in the yyyymmddmmss(20110125032841) format and is stored
in a varchar(2) field type named EVENT_DATE_AD when it is imported. When the import is complete, the EVENT_DATE_AD must be converted to a date(including time) and used to update the EVENT_DATE date type field. The table contains hundreds of thousands of records. What is the easiest way to import this data into the table, convert the date and update the EVENT_DATE field and set the CONVERT_DATE_CD = 1. The CONVERT_DATE_CD is a flag to verify this record has been processed. Right now I convert the .csv file to .xsl and import the data in to Oracle. I'm really not too concerned about the import process. Just the conversion and update. Any suggestions are appreciated.
CREATE TABLE "SOURCE_DATA_TEST"
   (     "CUID" NUMBER(9,0),
     "EMAIL" VARCHAR2(255 BYTE),
     "EVENT_DATE" DATE,
     "EVENT_DATE_AD" VARCHAR2(20 BYTE),
     "CONVERT_DATE_CD" NUMBER(1,0)
INSERT INTO SOURCE_DATA_TEST VALUES (11133,'myemail.com',null,'20110125032841',0);
INSERT INTO SOURCE_DATA_TEST VALUES (11134,'myemail.com',null,'20110125032843',0);
commit;

This works for the date but the time is not stored. When I select on the EVENT_DATE the following displays:
25-JAN-11
I changed the NLS_DATE_FORMAT = MM/DD/RRRR.
Now it displays
2/25/2011.
But, still no time. Any suggestions?A column of type DATE will ALWAYS store the time component.
However, most Oracle databases are configured to only display the date component when selecting a DATE column.
To display the time component, you MUST ensure that it will be displayed. There are 3 ways to do that
1) Configure the database to display the time component for all dates;
2) Configure the SESSION to display the time component for all dates; and/or
3) Use the TO_CHAR function and add the format to that displays the time component.
Your NLS_DATE_FORMAT only is designed to show the date component. Use 'hhmiss' to add Hours, Minutes and Seconds.
And read the fine SQL Langiuage Reference manual, chapter 2, to get an idea how to use the other several dozen formatting capabilities.

Bulk load data conversion error (type mismatch or invalid character for the specified codepage) for row 1, column 3 (NumberOfMultipleMatches).

Hi,

======================
asdsa,asdsadasdas,1123
asdsa,asdsadasdas,1123
asdsa,asdsadasdas,1123

Does anybody know what is happening and what needs to be done ?
PLEASE HELP
Thanks in advance
Vikram

To load that file with BULK INSERT, use this format file:
9.0
4
1 SQLCHAR 0 0 "\"" 0 "" ""
2 SQLCHAR 0 0 "\",\"" 1 col1 Latin1_General_CI_AS
3 SQLCHAR 0 0 "\",\"" 2 col2 Latin1_General_CI_AS
4 SQLCHAR 0 0 "\"\r\n" 3 col3 Latin1_General_CI_AS
Note that the format file defines four fields while the fileonly seems to have three. The format file defines an empty field before the first quote.
Or, since you already have a .NET program, use a stored procedure with table-valued parameter instead. I have an example of how to do this here:

Execute SQL Task - UPDATE or Data Flow Data Conversion

Good Morning folks,
I want to know which is more fast to convert data type.
I want to convert nvarchar(255) to datetime2,
using t-sql (execute sql task)
UPDATE TBL
SET FIELD1= CAST(FIELD1AS DATETIME2)
GO
or data conversion(data flow)
Thank..

Itz Shailesh, my t-sql have only UPDATE, not many UPDATES... so it's one batch, no 2,3,4... So.. it's Only one update.. ex: update table set field1 = cast(field1 as datetime2), field2 = cast(field2 as datetime2). not : update table set field = cast(field
as datetime2) go update table set field2 = cast(field2 as datetime2) go.... understand?
Yeah, I understand that you have to update just 1 field. What I am saying, if you have to update millions of rows then you must update rows in batches ( lets say batch of 50k). This way you will only touch 50k rows at a time and not all rows from table.
I see that your rows are less however I would still prefer the option of data conversion transformation over update statement.
