Decimal conversion error (Data Integrator 11.7.000)

Did someone encoutered this error? Any solution?
1004 3488 RUN-050802 06/01/2009 10:43:23 Cannot convert data <-.91> into type <DECIMAL>. Context: Column <Project Column AIColumn7>.
It happens when I try to perform a multiplication of a number with -0.91
Thanks

this seems to be happening for a specific optimization plan
tried with 11.7.3.0 and oracle 9i, since the query is not getting pushed down so most likely not a issue with database
I am trying to reproduce this using 2 source table and multiplying 2 columns in mapping by selecting a int column from one table and decimal (6,2) column from other table and output is also decimal (6,2)
is there anything else in the mapping expression for the other column, which might be creating multiple nodes for optimizer
can you give some more information about the DF, like outer join, where condition
since you mentioned both the source are oracle, why is the expression not getting pushed down ?

Decimal Conversion Error During Export

Hi All
We are migrating our production system from HP-UX to SOLARIS and Informix to Oracle.
During the export phase for the process SAPAPPL1 terminates with error :

Importing data error: SIGNEDDATA conversion error

The complete description is:
The number of failing rows exceeds the maximum specified. (Microsoft Data Transformation Services (DTS) Data Pump (8004202c): TransformCopy 'DTSTransformation__13' conversion error: General conversion failure on column pair 1 (source column 'SIGNEDDATA' (DBTYPE_STR), destination column 'SIGNEDDATA' (DBTYPE_NUMERIC)).)
We are trying to convert a value that come with miles separators, use the character "." (point) as separator and "," (comma) as decimal separator, we use a vb function (replace) to change the points for null string, but it doesn't work. Do you have any suggestion to solve this?
We are using BPC 7.0 MS SP3.
Thanks in advance,

Hi Mariana,
I've had the same kind of problem, which gave me the
General conversion failure on column pair 1 (source column 'SIGNEDDATA' (DBTYPE_STR), destination column 'SIGNEDDATA' (DBTYPE_NUMERIC)).)
errror message
My issue was resolved by changing the CREDITNEGATIVE=NO option to CREDITNEGATIVE=YES, because BPC probably converted negative values as 'string' values in stead of 'numeric' when importing SAP FI data with the minus sign '-' at the end (100-) instead of SQL signeddata (-100)
But I have to be carefull, my Account Dimension setup is as follows:
Balance Sheet Asset => AccType=AST
Balance Sheet Liabilities => AccType=LEQ
Profit and Loss Revenues => AccType =INC
Profit and Loss Expenses => AccType=INC
My flat file seperator is a comma (,) and decimalpoint is a point (.)
We are using BPC 7.5 MS SP07 Patch 02 and I'm not using any VBA to convert the amount.
Maybe it can help?

BestPractices Error - Set Decimal Notation and Date Format

Hello everyone,
first of all, I don't know, if this is the right forum for my question, but I hope so
We're trying to implement the Best Practices Scenarios to a new SAP ERP System.
We did the steps of the following url, where everything worked fine: http://help.sap.com/bp_dm603/DM_DE/html/index_DE.htm
Then we integrated Best Practices 603V8 via Solution Builder (TA: /n/SMB/BBI). But now, when we switch to Implementation Assistant and try to activate Scenario DE_109 --> 100(DE) --> Folder USERSETTINGS, we receive the following error in report /SMB99/SU3_O009_B32: Set Decimal Notation and Date Format.
So we called transaction SU3 and changed Decimal Notation and Date Format, but the error still exists.
Anybody knows what to do?
Thanks for your help!
Best regards
Patrick
PS: We executed Testscript /SMB99/SU3_C009_B32 via TA SECATT and there is the error:
TCD SU3 0,292 sec N Maintain Users Own Data

Data conversion error. Overflowed the specific type.

Hi guys, as usual I am struggling with the data conversion. I have got a column BS as Float in SQL, the usual values is 10.5656445, 899.66552366 etc. I'll try to move in Excel the data but I wish to have only one decimal. I try decimal in the data conversion
with precision 1 but it returns me the same value now I am trying
numeric, precision 1 but it returns the error "Conversion failed because the data value overflowed the specified type". Any suggestion? Thanks

Could you tell me what should be the result for 10.5656445, 899.66552366? Is that 10.5, 899.6 ?
If yes then, set Precision: 4, Scale: 1
(This is a total of 4 digits, 3 digits for the whole number and 1 for the fractional)
Cheers,

Most simple query on Event Hub stream (json) constantly gives Data Conversion Errors

Hello all,
Been playing with ASA in December and didn't have any issues, my queries kept working and outputted the data as needed. However, since January, I created a new demo, where I now constantly get Data Conversion errors. The scenario is described
below, but I have the following questions:
Where can I get detailed information on the data conversion errors? I don't get any point now (not in the operation logs and not in the table storage of my diagnostic storage account)
What could be wrong in my scenario and could be causing these issues
The scenario I have implemented is the following:
My local devices send EventData objects, serialized through Json.Net to an Event Hub with 32 partitions.
I define my query input as Event Hub Stream and define the data as json/utf8. I give it the name TelemetryReadings
Then I write my query as SELECT * FROM TelemetryReadings
In the output, I create an output on blob with CSV/UTF8 encoding
After that, I start the job
The result is an empty blob container (no output written) and tons of data conversion errors in the monitoring graph. What should I do to get this solved?
Thanks

So, apparently the issue was related to the incoming objects, I had. I was sending unsupported data types (boolean and Dictionary). I changed my code to remove these from the json and that worked out well. There was a change that got deployed
that (instead of marking the unsupported fields as null, they were throwing an exception). That's why things worked earlier.
So, it had to do with the limitation that I mentioned in my earlier comment:
https://github.com/Azure/azure-content/blob/master/articles/stream-analytics-limitations.md
Unsupported type conversions result in NULL values
Any event vales with type conversions not supported in the Data Types section of Azure Stream Analytics Query Language
Reference will result in a NULL value. In this preview release no error logging is in place for these conversion exceptions.
I am creating a blog post on this one

Finding Error while creating Data Integrator Repositor

Hi,
I am working in SAP BO Data Integrator. I have created databeses and its login. Installed SQL Server and while installing Data Integrator I got an error for creating a new repository which is as follows
Cannot open connection to the repository. The error message from the underlying DBMS is <ODBC call <SQLDriverConnect> for data source <MSSERVER\SQLEXPRESS> failed: <[Microsoft][ODBC SQL Server Driver][SQL Server]Login failed for user 'AIO_REPO_IDOC'.

Can anyone resolve this problem.

Hi,
I used SQL Server Authentication to logon to databases and for DI Version I am using SAP BusinessObjects XI 3.2.
I tried it again by deleting all databases and then create the same databases but on creating repository for table AIO_REPO_IDOC in repository manager gives error which is as follows
Cannot open connection to the repository. The error message from the underlying DBMS is <ODBC call <SQLDriverConnect> for data source <IDHASOFT238933\SQLEXPRESS> failed: <[Microsoft][ODBC SQL Server Driver][SQL Server]Login failed for user 'AIO_REPO_IDOC'.

An error occurred during creation of the local repository. (BODI-300054)
I also tried through another tool to acces the databases. It is working successfully.

Unit Conversion Error in Direct Input method for data transfer

Hi Experts,
I am getting a error "E MG 427: Conversion error: field BMMH6-MEINH; content PAK" When I am uploading Alt. UoM using BMHH6 structure in Direct Input. I checked value for UoM in converted data it is "PAC". I think system is internally converting it to PAK so the error is coming.
Please let me know what need to be done to avoid this error.
Thanks in Advance..

Hi
Before passing this unit to the program
check the conversion Exit in the Domain of the Field
and use the fun module
CONVERSION_EXIT_ALPHA_INPUT and pass that value and see how it takes
otherwise use the fun module UNIT_CONVERSION_SIMPLE and pass the value to program

Data Conversion Errors for the last week

We've been running a simple Stream Analytics job for little over a month now with a very light workload. Input is Event hub and output SQL Server. We noticed today that we haven't received anything into SQL Server since 2014-12-08 (we don't receive events
every day so we only know that everything still worked on the 8th of December), so we checked the job's logs. It seems that job is failing to process all the messages: The value of "Data Conversion Errors" is high.
I wonder what could have happened? We haven't touched the client since we started the job so it's still sending the messages in same format. And we haven't touched the job's query either.
Has there been an update to either to Stream Analytics or to Events Hub which could cause the issue we're seeing?

I've followed word for word the TollApp Instructions (except the thing with NamespaceType "Messaging" that has been added to New-AzureSBNamespace).
I have 0 line in output, and this is the service log:
Correlation ID:

Then I stopped the job, and connected to the event hub with a console app and received that:

Note the bug on the 3rd message. In my opinion it's unrelated, it could be the writeline that can't keep up with the stream in the console application. And at worst it's in the stream, but then I should see at least some lines in output for the correctly
formatted messages.

A conversion error occurred while the program -- display data on the screen

HI all,
Iam getting a dump error described below:
A conversion error occurred while the program was trying to
display data on the screen.
The ABAP output field and the screen field may not have the
same format.
Some field types require more characters on the screen than
in the ABAP program. For example, a date field on a screen needs
two characters more than it would in the program. When attempting to
display the date on the screen, an error will occur that triggers the
error message.
              Screen name.............. " Ztable_MM_MRQ "
              Screen number............ 0100
              Screen field............. "WA_PO_ITEMS-MENGE"
              Error text............... "FX015: Sign lost."
Further data:
Give us step by step procedure to rectify the same with T.codes

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

Hi,
I have a file where fields are wrapped with ".
=========== file sample
"asdsa","asdsadasdas","1123"
"asdsa","asdsadasdas","1123"
"asdsa","asdsadasdas","1123"
"asdsa","asdsadasdas","1123"
==========
I am having a .net method to remove the wrap characters and write out a file without wrap characters.
======================
asdsa,asdsadasdas,1123
asdsa,asdsadasdas,1123
asdsa,asdsadasdas,1123
asdsa,asdsadasdas,1123
======================
the .net code is here.
========================================
public static string RemoveCharacter(string sFileName, char cRemoveChar)
object objLock = new object();
//VirtualStream objInputStream = null;
//VirtualStream objOutStream = null;
FileStream objInputFile = null, objOutFile = null;
lock(objLock)
try
objInputFile = new FileStream(sFileName, FileMode.Open);
//objInputStream = new VirtualStream(objInputFile);
objOutFile = new FileStream(sFileName.Substring(0, sFileName.LastIndexOf('\\')) + "\\" + Guid.NewGuid().ToString(), FileMode.Create);

==================================
however when I run the bulk load utility I get the error
=======================================
Bulk load data conversion error (type mismatch or invalid character for the specified codepage) for row 1, column 3 (NumberOfMultipleMatches).
==========================================
the bulk insert statement is as follows
=========================================
BULK INSERT Temp
FROM '<file name>' WITH
FIELDTERMINATOR = ','
, KEEPNULLS
==========================================
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:

Date field - no date entered - conversion error

Hi,
i've a input text field with a datepattern attached in my jsp, whose requrired attribute is set to false. If i submit the page and no date is entered, JSF returns "Conversion error occured" for the date field.
For testing purposes i made a simple JSP which contains only this date field and a reload button, which only submits the form. When the button is clicked the conversion error is displayed as described.
What am i doing wrong here?
thx

Data Integrator - Bulk Load Append ERROR

Hi,
Im working in a SYBASE database and i have the following error:
My source table for example have 1000 rows and i set my target table with the bulk load append option every 100 rows to commit, but every time when the process ends in my target i have 900 rows, i think the data integrator dont commit the last 100 rows.
I have a "clean" pass of data, no where, no joins is a simple copy from one table to another table.
Anyone can give me a solution or something to solve this problem?
Thanks a lot...

Sybase ASE or IQ and which version ?
what is the Data Integrator version that you are using ?
is the job failing with errors ? may be the last batch is not committed because of constraints on the target table, did you try inserting the same set of rows without bulk load ? try inserting the rows without bulk load and see if it gives any errors
