Date Node - Trailng 'z' in date field?

Hi,
In an Orchestration I write a date value to a node via a distinguished field.
For example:
MyMsg.MyfDate = System.DateTime.ParseExact(strMyDate,
"yyyy-MM-dd",
System.Globalization.CultureInfo.InvariantCulture);
In my output message I get the value I wrote
MyDate="2013-09-22Z" BUT there is a trailing 'z' in the field. The node in the schema is of type date.
How do I remove the trailing 'z' so that I get MyDate="2013-09-22"
Thanks in advance

Unfortunately, Distinguished Fields have some issues when handling xs:date in that all values are handled as UTC even if time zone information is present. Bug? Sure, either way, that's how it works.
So what's happending is when you set the MyMsg.MyfDate, it's being set as UTC, the 'Z' for Zulu.
To treat it as local time, you'll have to use xPath:
dt = System.DateTime.ParseExact(strMyDate, "yyyy-MM-dd", System.Globalization.CultureInfo.CurrentCulture);
xpath(Message_2, "/*[local-name()='YourRootElement']/*[local-name()='YourDateField']") = dt.ToString("yyyy-MM-dd");
However, if strMyDate is already in Xml format, yyyy-MM-dd, then parsing is a round-trip to the same place.

Multiple repeating SubForms binding to the same data node

Having multiple repeating SubForms binding to the same data node : In our documents, many times we need to display information from same table in multiple locations. For example, if document displays information of Insureds on one page and information of drivers on another page, we need to create a LiveCycle document with two SubForms. Each SubForm needs to have a repeating binding to CommonInsured element in XSD. LiveCycle Designer is not able to handle such case. We cannot have two subforms bound to the same node, ONLY in a case where repeating option is selected for data binding.
The only way I have found out is the following Javascript
//Get the data node from XML. You will find the code for this function in //JavaHelperFunctions library.
// InsuredDataRepeatingSubForm is a second subform.
//You need to manually add instances to this subform at the
//runtime and Insured data to each instance.
var insuArray = JavaHelperFunctions.getInsureds();
    var i=0;
    for( i=0; i<insuArray.length; i++)
       if (i>0)
var thesubform = this.InsuredDataRepeatingSubForm.instanceManager.addInstance(i);
              thesubform.InsuredName.rawValue = insuArray[i].fullName.value;
       else
               this.InsuredDataRepeatingSubForm.InsuredName.rawValue = insuArray[i].fullName.value;
Is there any way I can achieve directly using bindings since we are trying to minimize javascript that changes the layout of the form?
Thanks in advance!

Unfortunately not. I've spent countless hours/days trying to do the same thing. You have to use code. The form consumes all the data it can into the repeating elements until there is none left and it is not reused.
Here's a function I wrote just for that purpose. Feel free to use it:
function loadData(source,target){
target.setInstances(source.count);//set the target's subform instances to match the source's
for (var a=0;a<source.count;a++){//loop through each subform instance
var sourceSubform=source.resolveNode(source.name.substr(1)).all.item(a);
var targetSubform=target.resolveNode(target.name.substr(1)).all.item(a);
for (var b=0;b<sourceSubform.nodes.length;b++){//loop through the children of each
   if (sourceSubform.nodes.item(b).className=="field" && targetSubform.resolveNode(sourceSubform.nodes.item(b).name)!=null)//check for matching fields
    if (typeof(targetSubform.resolveNode(sourceSubform.nodes.item(b).name).value.exData)=="undefined" ||
     typeof(targetSubform.resolveNode(sourceSubform.nodes.item(b).name).value.exData.body)=="undefined")
     targetSubform.resolveNode(sourceSubform.nodes.item(b).name).rawValue=sourceSubform.nodes.item(b).rawValue;
    else
     targetSubform.resolveNode(sourceSubform.nodes.item(b).name).value.exData.loadXML(sourceSubform.nodes.item(b).value.exData.saveXML(),1,1);
   if (sourceSubform.nodes.item(b).className=="instanceManager" && targetSubform.resolveNode(sourceSubform.nodes.item(b).name)!=null)//check for matching subforms
    loadData(sourceSubform.nodes.item(b),targetSubform.resolveNode(sourceSubform.nodes.item(b).name));
Just make sure the source and target subform hierarchies are identifal, same name and all. It will recurse down the tree and transfer source fields (rich text and plain) to their sister targets.

How to Create BO in BOPF as to hold 3 different Nodes as Transient and Data sharing between the 3 Nodes ?

Hi All,
My requirement :
I have to create a FBI OVP Application, Displaying Search UIBB in the first Section .(Fetches Data from Standard Table)
Below this search UIBB I have to create a List UIBB (Name it as LIST_1) in the Second Section to display Search Result.(This List UIBB has to Tool Bar Actions like 'Delete' & 'MOVE' . user select a record from the list and click on delete action, Delete action has to remove the Record from the list ).
Below this List UIBB we have another List UIBB (Name it as LIST_2) which Holds the Records Moved from the LIST_1.(User selects a record in LIST_1 and Clicks on action 'MOVE' the selected record in the LIST_1 has to be Removed and it should be place in the LIST_2 ).
My Development Plan :
Step 1 : Creating a BO of type Controller Object.
Step 2 : Make ROOT Node as Transient Node-->Propose Names for Data structure, combined structure, combined Table type. Provide fields in the data type and Generate Dictionary Objects.
Create LIST_1 and LIST_2 as transient nodes ---> Propose Names for Data structure, combined structure, combined Table type. Provide fields in the data type and Generate Dictionary Objects.
For LIST_1 Create Actions 'DELETE' & 'MOVE'
Question 1) How to code to delete a Record from the LIST_1 in DELETE Action?
Question 2) How to Code to move a Record from the LIST_1 to LIST_2 based on user selection in the LIST_1 in MOVE Action ?
Question 3) Is this Possible to Handle all the 3 nodes in my requirement in a single BO or I Should Create 3 different BO as in my requirement the 3 nodes are independent and in the BO it uses KEY and Parent_Key relation with the SUB Node, Is this possible to handle all the 3 independent nodes in single BO ?
Question 4) If i Create # different BO How can i achieve this Functionality ?
Please Guide me with Your valuable Suggestions.
Thanks in Adv.
Thanks,
Kranthi Kumar.

Hello Kranti,
As I understand , you have all the required data in non BO existing standard tables. You now want to represent this data as a business object. What you need is a BO wrapper on this existing data , and a controller object would be one way to achieve this ( in theory ). Or you can create a Business Process Object/Master Data Object that acts as a BO wrapper ( with its own buffer implementation ) on top of existing data/APIs , see the standard Business Process Object BO /BOFU/BASIS_APPLICATION_LOG as an example. The Master Data Object /BOFU/BUSINESSPARTNER is another example.
Question 1) How to code to delete a Record from LIST_1 in DELETE Action ?
There is nothing to be done here. The underlying data source for the list is a BO node and the standard Delete action that you get as part of regular CRUD for a BO node will do the job. However note that this delete just deletes the record from the buffer, if this now needs to be translated to an actual delete in the standard table then you need to handle that.
There are two ways to handle the actual update to the table based on how you consume the data from the table. You can do the update within a determination set to Before Save (Before writing data). Or , you can create your own buffer implementation and handle your data manipulation there.
Question 2) How to Code to move a Record from the LIST_1 to LIST_2 based on user selection in the LIST_1 in MOVE Action ?
Add the record to the underlying node for List_2 and remove the record from the underlying node of List_1.Again , this is just buffer data manipulation , the standard tables are not touched , you will need to handle that.
Question 3) Is this Possible to Handle all the 3 nodes in my requirement in a single BO or I Should Create 3 different BO as in my requirement the 3 nodes are independent and in the BO it uses KEY and Parent_Key relation with the SUB Node, Is this possible to handle all the 3 independent nodes in single BO ?
Your BO design depends upon your requirements/use case/functionalities. Is the data related and can be defined as constituent of a single business entity ? If yes , then it should ideally be a single business object. In short , let your functionality decide the scope of your business object. Technical considerations should be secondary.
In addition , remember that too many Business Objects will create a performance overhead.
The use case that you provide is technical and it does not give me enough info to advise on the scope of the business object(s) you will need to create. From a technical perspective , handling 3 nodes in the same business object to address your use case is very much possible.
Question 4) If i Create # different BO How can i achieve this Functionality ?
I will indulge in this question from a point of technical feasibility. When you have multiple BOs and you want to establish a relationship between them , this is achieved by using Business Object Representation nodes. Business Object Representation nodes enable cross BO associations that establish a relationship between a node of the source BO with a node of the target BO.

"xfa.data.nodes.remove" wreaking havoc on dynamic forms

I have a web service that I created using Workbench, and it is using the Query Multiple Rows as XML component. It returns multiple items depending on criteria supplied by the form filler. The data is being placed into a drop down field. In order to facilitate this I followed what I had read previously in these forums, which is to load the xml into the DOM and then navigate to the nodes needed and loop through and add then into the drop down. That works great. The problem happens when I want to reset the data in the drop down in order to facilitate another query. So what happens in the form is:
A user is presented with a drop down that has two options, to 'add new object', or to 'edit existing object'.
If the user selects 'add new object', a blank form is displayed and the user can fill it out. Once the form is filled out, a web service takes the information and creates a row in the database.
If the user selects 'edit existing object' a web service fires and brings back xml data and places the data into two separate drop downs, one for 'staff lead' and one for 'departments'. When they select an option, another web service fires to query the database based on the selection. It works fine the first time. But say someone decides to change an option from either the 'staff lead' or the 'departments' drop downs, which would logically change the criteria for the query, things get crazy. I have to use the xfa.data.nodes.remove command in order to remove the nodes from the DOM so that the next query comes in and loads into the DOM correctly. If I don't do this, then the drop down keeps the previous data in it.
The problem is that once you use the command on a Dynamic form (this is important, the form must be dynamic.) things start disappearing on the form. Can't figure out why. Help...
Very important: The form needs to be a dynamic form. The problem does not happen on static forms.
Mike

I have looked at the result set and everything looks good to me. I have my root node and all of the form data elements under it, then I have the staff lead, and department node. Each have a child node named repeating, (I've tried different names there and it didn't make a difference.) and inside the repeating node are the values. In my remove statement I point to the either department or staff lead nodes (depending on which I need to clear.) and go through the xfa.data.nodes.remove step. What's interesting is that somehow this command is changing the visibility of subforms, which are not listed anywhere in the data DOM? I'm more confused now.

Addition of a Field in EKKO/Data not getting populated for that field

Hi All,
I have added a Z Field in EKKO Table through the Append Structure "CI_EKPODB".
There are around 2000 records in EKKO and for all the records that Z field is Blank.
But, when I write a Select Query in Program to Fetch the Records where that Z Field is BLANK, I get only 50 Records.
The same happens when I Execute SE16 for EKKO by giving condition Z Field = INITIAL. I get only 50 records in the output.
Please help me understand why I dont get all the Records where that Z Field is INITIAL?
Is any customization required or is this a Technical Issue?
Please help.
Thanks in Advance.

hi rohan,
if you are adding a field in a table by append structure then make that field as ZZ instead of Z to differentiate it from normal fields.
now when you have created the field in a append structure then if have not checked the initial flag.thats why u are getting this data inconsistency.
this is because earlier 2000 entries are prestent in the table , now when you add another field in the table then that field will not have value for those 2000 records.
now when you create the fiels select the init flag field,if you select this then new flag field will NOT NULL,so initial values will be filled for that field for existing 2000 records.
Note : NULL and INITIAL are different things, NULL means not defined and initial means which is having its initial value.
check that init flag and u will get those 2000 records, you are getting inconsistent data now becuse value for that field is null ie not defined.
hopr this will solve ur post and u wil get the concept of append structure.
Thanks and regards,
Tanmaya

Data flow fails on packed decimal field moving iSeries DB2 data from one iSeries DB to another

I' trying to use SSIS to move table content from one iSeries DB2 database to another. I'm using the .Net providers for OleDb\IBM DB2 for i5/OS IBMDA400 OLE DB Provider in the connection managers for the source and destination and the test connection
works fine. When I try to run the data flow task however it fails on the first packed decimal field it encounters with the exceptions ...
[select from hydro520 hydroweb2 blpmstr [16]] Error: SSIS Error Code DTS_E_INDUCEDTRANSFORMFAILUREONERROR. The "component "select from hydro520 hydroweb2 blpmstr" (16)" failed because error code 0x80004002 occurred, and the error
row disposition on "output column "MSPRIB" (55)" specifies failure on error. An error occurred on the specified object of the specified component. There may be error messages posted before this with more information about the failure.

engine called PrimeOutput(). The meaning of the failure code is defined by the component, but the error is fatal and the pipeline stopped executing. There may be error messages posted before this with more information about the failure.
...in the progress tab. Can someone kindly tell me what I need to do to get the connection manager to work with DB2 packed decimal fields? Or is it a different issue all together? Thanks tonnes for any help, Roscoe

Hi rpfinn,
From the Data Types mapping rules between SSIS and DB2, we can see that both the NUMERIC and DECIMAL data types in DB2 are mapped to DT_NUMBERIC data type in SSIS. Now that the source data in your DB2 database is NUMERIC data type, changing the DT_NUMBRIC
data type to DT_DECIMAL is invalid. Besides, if we check the data types of the target External column and Output column from the Advanced Editor for ADO NET Source adapter, the data type should be defined as DT_NUMERIC with Precision as 9 and Scale as 2. I
am not clear where you see the DT_NUMBERIC(9,0) e.g. DT_NUMERIC with Precision as 9 and Scale as 0, but it may be the cause of the issue. You need to make sure the DT_NUMERIC data type also has Scale 2 instead of 0.
If you don’t know how to modify the data type, please elaborate the Data Flow Task of the package so that we can make further analysis. Besides, the error messages you posted are incomplete, it will be helpful if you post the complete error message.

How to handle Multiple date formats for the same date field in SQL*Loader

Dear All,
I got a requirement where I need to get data from a text file and insert the same into oracle table.
I am using SQL*Loader to populate the data from the text file into my table.
The file has one field where I am expecting date date data in multiple formats, like dd/mon/yyyy, yyyy/dd/mon, yyyy/mon/dd, ,mm/dd/yyyy, mon/dd/yyyy.
While using SQL*Loader, I can see Loading is failing for records where we have formats like yyyy/dd/mon, yyyy/mon/dd, mon/dd/yyyy.
Is there any way in SQL*Loader where we can mention all these date formats so that this date data should go smoothly into the underlying date column in the table.
Appreciate your response on this.
Thanks,
Madhu K.

The point being made was, are you sure that you can uniquely identify a date format from the value you receieve? Are you sure that the data stored is only of a particular limited set of formats?
e.g. if you had a value of '07/08/03' how do you know what format that is?
It could be...
7th August 2003 (thus assuming it's DD/MM/RR format)
or
8th July 2003 (thus assuming it's MM/DD/RR format)
or
3rd August 2007 (thus assuming it's RR/MM/DD format)
or
8th March 2007 (thus assuming it's RR/DD/MM format)
or even more obscurely...
3rd July 2008 (MM/RR/DD)
or
7th March 2008 (DD/RR/MM)
Do you have any information to tell you what formats are valid that would allow you to be specific and know what date format is meant?
This is a classic example of why dates should be stored on the database using DATE datatype and not VARCHAR2. It can lead to corruption of data, especially if the date can be entered in any format a user wishes.

IXML - Checking if a specific node exists in XML data

Hi,
I´m reading XML data by using iXML classes. One XML file I´m reading contains header and
item data.
Right now I´m starting with reading the header attributes and then read all nested nodes and their attribute data. That works all fine, but now I had the error, that the XML file wrongly didn´t contain the items.
My XML reading method then ended up in a dump because the node was null:
l_node = l_iterator->get_next( ).
Can anybody give me an advice, how to check at the beginning of reading my xml data, if a specific node (in my case the node for items) exists in the XML data? If not, I want to stop with an error message. I want to check that at the beginning, before reading all element data, to keep my method structured.
Thank you very much!

Hi,
You can create a filter and set that filter to the iterator. If this is done the iterator returns you only the node with a specific node name or node ID.
You can also check the parsing in the following WIKI code gallery
https://wiki.sdn.sap.com/wiki/x/JoDmAQ
Subroutines create_set_filter_attribute and parse_xml_file would be helpful.

How to find where the data is coming from in appended field for BW extract

I am not an ABAP'er ... And this problem is about a BW Extractor
I am extracting data for my (Utility Industry) Sales Statistics Cube using 0UC_SALES_STATS_01 data source. The Extract structure is BIW_ISU_ESTA and we are appending the structure with a few fields:
I_ZAHL1
I_ZAHL2
I_ZAHL3
I see some similar fields in DBERCHZ1 which are not the same. The data gets filled in the above fields somehow. I need to find out how and where. We have now diffrent variation of the same data and I'd like to extract that transactional data as well using the same fields rather than appending more fields to an already huge extract structure. When I click on the fields in BIW_ISU_ESTA, it takes me no where. I also tried out the extractor program (RSA3) in debug mode but somehow the fields are already populated. I tried using the ABAP dictinary but can't find a way to find these fields there.
Any help would be appreciated.
Thanks a lot.
Bilal

Thanks Renata,
This is a standard business content extractor with the fields enhanced. Usually we have some user exits to populate the fields but in this case we only append the extract table. I couldn't see these fields being part of any existing includes in the extract struct but some how they get populated. I guess system knows from where to copy the data.
Thanks for your reply though. I am closing this thread as it seems not a very popular cube.

Inserting Date and Time into a date field

Okay I am a bit of a Oracle newbie. I am trying to insert the following date and time into a date field and I don't know how to format the second part of the to_Date() function.
Date/Time: 5/29/2003 7:58:45 PM
Thanks,
Branden

I believe you would want
to_date( '5/29/2003 7:58:45 PM', 'MM/DD/YYYY HH:MI:SS AM' )
Note that tahiti.oracle.com has all of Oracle's documentation, including the very useful SQL & PL/SQL reference manuals, available for free.

To filter data acording to year of date field of a table

Hi i have a table
TABLE T1(ID NUMBER, SET_DATE DATE)I want to select id values from this table by comparing year present in set_date field.
For that i wrote
select id from t1 where set_date like '%2010%' ;It's returning no rows.
But the following code is working
select id from t1 where set_date like '%10%' ;Though second code is working there is a demerit in both these code because i am not specifying to match year.It's quite possible that 10 may be present any where else, and this query will return all those rows.So how to filter rows according to year?

You should be careful that applying a function to your date column will bypass any indexes - unless it is an appropriate function based index. It is often better to convert your criteria to a match your data rather than convert your data once for every row in the table. The following example will allow the optimizer to use an index if appropriate;
with t1 as(
   select 1 id, sysdate set_date from dual union all
   select 2, add_months(sysdate,-12) from dual)
select id
from t1
where set_date between to_date('01-jan-2010', 'dd-mon-yyyy') and
      to_date('31-dec-2010 23:59:59', 'dd-mon-yyyy hh24:mi:ss');
        ID

Memory leak in Real-Time caused by VISA Read and Timed Loop data nodes? Doesn't make sense.

Working with LV 8.2.1 real-time to develop a host of applications that monitor or emulate computers on RS-422 busses. The following screen shots were taken from an application that monitors a 200Hz transmission. After a few hours, the PXI station would crash with an awesome array of angry messages...most implying something about a loss of memory. After much hair pulling and passing of the buck, my associate was able to discover while watching the available memory on the controller that memory loss was occurring with every loop containing a VISA read and error propogation using the data nodes (see Memory Leak.jpg). He found that if he switched the error propogation to regular old-fashioned shift registers, then the available memory was rock-solid. (a la No Memory Leak.jpg)
Any ideas what could be causing this? Do you see any problems with the way we code these sorts of loops? We are always attempting to optimize the way we use memory on our time-critical applications and VISA reads and DAQmx Reads give us the most heartache as we are never able to preallocate memory for these VIs. Any tips?

Hi thisisnotadream,
This problem has been reported, and you seem to be exactly reproducing the conditions required to see this problem. This was reported to R&D (# 134314) for further investigation. There are multiple possible workarounds, one of which is the one that you have already found of wiring the error directly into the loop. Other situations that result in no memory leak are:
1. If the bytes at port property node is not there and a read just happens in every iteration and resulting timeouts are ignored.
2. If the case structure is gone and just blindly check the bytes at port and read every iteration.
3. If the Timed Loop is turned into a While loop.
Thanks for the feedback!

Date not coming correctly in date field

Hi all
I have added a field on a screen of type dats (8 char)
So if user gives date as 10/11/2009 he can only update the field with 10/11/09
If i change the length to 10 then if user gives date in a wrong format also like abcdefg
then also it will be updated ?
how can thsi be resolved?

Hi,
if you are using selection screen then try the code given below..
parameters :
p_date like sy-datum.
write p_date.
otherwise if you are using screens,
then instead of drawing the input field and assigning the dats value to it,
use dictionary fields by pressing F6 on the layout of the screen,
from the table syst, select the field datum...
this works for sure...
