DBAdapter Merge

Trying to update a table using DBAdapter and Merge operation. The table has besides other columns creation_date and last_update_date. What is the best way to populate the creation_date and last_update_date to sysdate when inserting a row, and only populate last_update_date when updating a row in the database?
Thanks,

I'm using database triggers as well, if your acquanted with pl/sql that would be the 1st choice, especially because you can generate the needed triggers for all your audit columns.
On the other hand you can define annotations in JPA, EJB3.0 now to populate your audit-columns automatically, maybe this can be done as well in the toplink mapping files?
It should be possible, but I don't now until which level annotations are supported in toplink used by the dbAdapters.
Kind regads,

DBAdapter Merge failed

Hi Experts,
Does anyone had issue (ORA-00001: unique constraint) while invoking DBAdapter Merge (Insert and Update) to a table
which having a primary key of combination of 3 fields?
My table is :
LOCAL_CURRENCY NOT NULL CHAR(4)
FOREIGN_CURR NOT NULL CHAR(4)
DATE_MOD NOT NULL CHAR(8)
CONV_RATE NOT NULL NUMBER(15,7)
with PK: LOCAL_CURRENCY, FOREIGN_CURR, DATE_MOD
The detail of bindFault from BPEL is:
ORA-00001: unique constraint (TS.SYS_C0013840) violated
Exception occured when binding was invoked. Exception occured during invocation of JCA binding: "JCA Binding execute of Reference operation 'merge' failed due to: DBWriteInteractionSpec Execute Failed Exception. merge failed.
This fault happened when i want to update CONV_RATE for a particular record in DB.
For example, a record in DB (LOCAL_CURRENCY = 'EUR', FOREIGN_CURR ='USD', DATE_MOD= '20110101',CONV_RATE='1.5') is updated to new CONV_RATE='1.6'.
My environment: SOA Suite 11.1.1.3, DB target Oracle 11g.
Any hints are most welcome.
Thanks.

I am having a similar problem. Trying to perform a merge on DB2 AS400 from BPEL. The table has a composite key with 6 fields (JD Edwards table):
SELECT * FROM DEVDTA.F0902 WHERE GBAID = ? AND GBCTRY = ? AND GBFY = ? AND GBFQ = ? AND GBLT = ? AND GBSBL = ?
When trying to call DB Adapter merge operation for an existing record I get the following error:
<Mar 23, 2011 2:19:50 PM PDT> <Error> <oracle.soa.adapter> <BEA-000000> <JCABinding=> [default/integ_F0902!1.0*soa_e5af67e1-0aba-417a-a7d6-3b1295a14cfe.World_F0902_Sync]:merge One-way operation merge() failed>

Is this a known limitation, or a bug? This is on SOA BPEL 11.1.1.4.

DBAdapter merge operation error

Hello,
I run into a problem when trying the DBAdapter merge operation. I believe the merge operation first executes a query operation based on the primary keys, if not found, then will execute an insert operation, my problem is when I pass in the input as " " for one primary key, seems the merge operation internally transform it to "" then do the query, so there is no record found, then it will do the insert with the right primary key " ", which results in the violation of the unique constraint (suppose I inserted a record with primary key " " before).
Does anyone have any suggestion for this?
Thanks.

Weblogic OSB 10.3 DBAdapter merge not working

I am using the DBAdapter to execute a database insert or update from a Publish Action. When using the merge operation it is not performing an update but instead always performing an insert, therefore I always get a unique constraint error due to the record already being in the table.
Is there something special I need to do in order to tell the mapping file which fields are the primary key so it recognizes it needs to be an update versus an insert?
Thanks in advance

I figured it out, the toplink file had every column specified as the primary key, once I only used the correct keys, it worked just fine.

DbAdapter Merge/Insert

Whilst using DBAdapter the merge/insert operation doesn't seem to recuperate unlike the Select operation , after the database is bounced.It requires the application server to be bounced after the database comes back up for the insert/merge to work !! Am I missing anything ?

Hi there,
merge/insert may take longer to recover from than select because the former because of an issue with transactional contexts.
If the select fails and the connection is recovered, then the select can proceed right there because there is no transactional context to worry about.
If the merge/insert fails and the connection is recovered, I still have to throw the exception if I was in the middle of a transaction. The latest drivers seem to let beginTransaction always pass, so a Merge/insert always fails as the first exception happens midway through the transaction. Unfortunate but just means you need to give merge/insert more retries.
Please see the
integration/orabpel/samples/tutorials/122.DBAdapter/InsertWithCatch
tutorial for how to configure this but basically you need to open the bpel.xml and add two properties to your partnerlink:
<partnerLinkBinding name="BPELSamples">
<property name="wsdlLocation">insert.wsdl</property>
<property name="retryInterval">60</property>
<property name="retryMaxCount">60</property>
</partnerLinkBinding>
You can also define the connection in the data-sources.xml, and then allow the app server to manage the connection pool.
Thanks

DbAdapter (nolock in merge operation)

Hello,
I'm currently with performance problems when I do various operations on a SQL Server 2000 using a dbAdapter(merge operations).
I did some analysis in the database and realized that I am having lock in "select" operation, and I have to wait for the "update". How can I add the command "nolock" at the end of this query?
Thanks
Zanatto

Yes, this is to prevent confusion when the merge result falls outside of the active filter and is thus hidden from the user. Sometimes it will, sometimes it won't - so we chose consistency of behavior.
You should be able to prevent this by clicking the padlock icon in the upper right of the grid view and filter area. This will lock the filter.

The INSERT operation works fine with the database adapter, but I cannot get MERGE and UPDATE operations to work as expected!
Thanks.

hi Sudeep,
We are at first hand struggling with DB adapter problem getting down everytime. Don't know the reason why.
DB adapter is in down state and when trying to make it up gives below error:
"weblogic.application.ModuleException: weblogic.connector.exception.RAException: Jndi Name is null or empty."
I just created a simple sync process using DB adapter (custom select) and deplyed successfully. I hope jndi name is not to be configured in weblogic-ra.xml file.
This is the first time we are using this JNDI name (eis/DB/calvindb).
Any inputs will be appreciated.
Thanks,
Nikhil

DBAdapter Import Errors of OSB 10.3.1 projects in OSB 11.1.1.5 Eclipse

Hi,
I am in th eprocess of upgrading OSB 10.3.1 to 11.1.1.5. I am also using DBAdapter in the OSb Services. To upgrade the projects went to sbconsole of 10.3.1 and selected
Export Resources and also selected Include Dependencies. Once the jar was export I imported it OEPE that was installed with OSB 11.1.1.5 version.
I am getting the below errors it's complaining for the DBAdapter jca files. The same works in 10.3.1 OSB Workshop. I only see the below errors in workshop 10.3.1 but when opening in

The process for DBAdapter configuration in JDeveloper has changed from 10.3.1 to 11g. You will need to recreate the DBAdapter related resources and then use it.
Refer to Section 24.1.7 @ http://docs.oracle.com/cd/E14571_01/relnotes.1111/e10132/osb.htm#insertedID1
Steps for DBAdapter configuration should be available @ http://docs.oracle.com/cd/E14571_01/doc.1111/e15866/jca.htm#BABDBGDJ

ESB: two problems about DBAdapter in ESB

hi,i am a new
two problems:1.Using DBAdapter read records, but how to keep the records instead of deleting them after read.
2.i use the merge functionality in the outbound-DBadapter,but it only does INSERT,not UPDATE.
thank you!

You are looking in wrong place. If you try to add new routing rule in RS component you will find two kinds of operation to choose (insert and update). You have probably built one rule (with insert operation) but the second one is not used.

Questions on Merging Dis-similar Data Types...

I am using Web-I version 11.5.8.834 (We do not use the Crystal Reports module, all of our reports are built with Web-I).
I have two questions:
Question 1: First I am attempting to create a report from two different universes and need to merge a dimension from each universe. The two dimensions have similar data, but one is set up as a "string", and the other universe has the same data set up as a "number". Our IT department creates and maintains the universes and I have requested that one of the dimension data type be changed to match the other, but I am told that other users have already set up reports using these dimensions and to change them at this point might cause a problem with their reports. So my first question is: Can two separate dimensions be setup within a single universe, using the same data field, each having different data types (e.g., a field with numeric data be set up as a "string" and a second dimension be setup as a "number")? If this works, I can make a recommendation to our IT department to do this and I will not have to resort to Question 2. but just in case, here is Question 2:
Question 2: I have two other dimensions that I might be able to use, but it requires creating a variable and "trimming" data off of each of the fields. The first universe is a part number with three alpha characters followed by four numeric characters (PRT1234). The second universe has a serial number, in which the first four characters match the last four characters of the other universe (1234-00111). If I trim off the first three characters from the first universe using a variable (=right([Part_Number];4), and trim off the last six characters from the second universe using a variable (=left([Serial_Number],4), the variables will have matching data. The second question is: Can variables be merged? I've tried, but it isn't working so far. If so, can someone give me some hints on how to do it?

Charles,
Can variables be merged?
No, local variables cannot be merged. The manipulation must be performed at the database level via Designer before the data comes across to the report. As an aside, your IT deparatment can create "new" objects just for you, placed in the list under a separate sub-class that manipulates the data to your liking and will not upset other users who already built reports using the original columns of data. I guess my point is that you can have multiple objects placed in your universe that derive from the same column in a given table -- user A has it per their flavor and user B has it per his flavor.
Thanks,
John

Can I merge several different Verizon plans (different family members each have own plans) into one plan (i.e. can I take over all their lines), if all lines on all plans are on Edge?

I was originally told by Verizon that if I joined, I can eventually take over the lines of various family members. Now that I've joined, and my family members all upgraded their phones and are on Edge, Verizon is telling us that we can't merge into one plan (because Edge lines can't be transferred to another account).
Is this true, and, if so, what is my recourse since I was lied to.

Well, yes and no (as far as being lied to). I asked on several occasions (I have the chat transcripts to prove it) if there would be any issue if the lines were all already on Edge, and was told each time that under no circumstances would there be any issue. The latest being today (I know it's after the fact, but I wanted proof that this is what the chat people are saying). I asked "I have currently have an account with 3 phones on Edge. My brother and his wife, and my parents, also have plans all on Edge. I would like to 'take over' their lines. I want to make sure there is no issue with the Edge plan and that I can simply 'take over' their lines with no problems." I was told "Yes. That would be correct." Again, this is what I was told in the past as well (my original post didn't make clear the timing of the chats and upgrades to Edge..). Every time I chatted I mentioned that the accounts were going to be on Edge or (later on) were already on Edge. Even before my family members upgraded to Edge, not one single chat or phone representative (and my brother asked the same thing in a store) mentioned NOT to upgrade to Edge because it couldn't be transferred. Everyone just said yep, no problem. The ONLY reason I even joined Verizon (I was on Straight Talk) was because of the More Everything and Edge plans (we wanted a family plan with 6 people and over 10GB so we'd each save $25/line). Otherwise I never would have joined Verizon and my family wouldn't have upgraded either.

HT4910 Have two phones with same apple id as I got one for my hubbie .he tried to back up his numbers in I cloud . Our contacts have now merged and neither can delete from our phone without it coming off the other . Any ideas how we can stop this

Have two iPhones with the same id as I got hubbie one in week and when I got it they asked for email address so I gave the one we use, so when my husband started phone up he just put my password in. When he tried to back his numbers on iCloud they all appeared on my phone and now I can't delete his numbers without them deleting on his phone as well . Any help would be appreciated.

You'll have to migrate one of the phones to a different account, then delete the other person's data from each account (you can continue to share the same Apple ID for purchasing from the iTunes and app stores).
Decide which iPhone will be keeping the current iCloud account. On the one that will be changing accounts, if you have any photos in photo stream that are not in your camera roll or backed up somewhere else save these to your camera roll by opening the photo stream album in the thumbnail view, tapping Edit, then tap all the photos you want to save, tap Share and tap Save to Camera Roll.
Once this is done, go to Settings>iCloud, scroll to the bottom and tap Delete Account. (This will only delete the account from this phone, not from iCloud. The phone that will be keeping the account will not be effected by this.) When prompted about what to do with the iCloud data, be sure to select Keep On My iPhone. Next, set up a new iCloud account using a different Apple ID (if you don't have one, tap Get a Free Apple ID at the bottom). Then turn iCloud data syncing for contacts, etc. back to On, and when prompted about merging with iCloud, choose Merge. This will upload the data to the new account.
Finally, go to icloud.com on your computer and sign into each iCloud account separately and manually delete the data you don't from each account.

I have three itunes accounts and want to merge them

I have three iTunes accounts and have found that at times we have purchased multiple of the same items as a result. Can I merge two of the lesser accounts by gifting or otherwise migrating the songs, apps, videos etc to one master account?

Not Possible...

I brought my itunes library onto a mac from a windows machine and now i have two separate libraries. How can I merge them?

I moved to Mac from a Windows machine where I had downloaded all of my CDs into iTunes. When I got my Mac it only put my purchased items into my library. So I merged my windows library and it created a whole new user account with that on it. I now have two libraries and can only sync music with one account or I lose all of my imported CDs. Help! How do I merge them.

The easiest way is to get both computers on your home network and copy the files over the network. It's easier than you think
Check this earlier thread:
[How do I move my itunes library to new computer|http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?messageID=7937172&#7937172]
That thread mentions Target Disk Mode, which won't help moving from a PC to a Mac. But you can use file sharing to copy the files.
As the articles all say: don't forget to de-authorize your PC before you get rid of it.

I have 3 iTunes accounts and want to merge them into only one of them. I also have money on all 3 accounts

I have 3 iTunes accounts and want to merge them into only one of them. I also have money on each account. Not sure how to go about this.

You cannot merge the accounts.
Sorry.
