Details on data types for posting data to DB2 on AS400 from XI

Hi
We have a scenario in which we post data from XI (3.0, SP23 ) to DB2 on AS400 and we are using jdbc adapters ( jdbc drivers from IBM deployed on XI J2EE server as per SAP's instructions )
On AS400-DB2, there are two files F1 and F2 that we have to update in a particular library L1 - on a server S1. Each of the two files has a single field with the same name as that of the file.
I have the following questions :
1. How do we construct/specify the data type in order to convert XML from XI to the sql that DB2 needs - I do understand there is a standard data type structure used to convert XML to sql calls when we use JDBC receiver adapter type communication channel. Do we use the same for posting XML data from XI to DB2 too ?
2. What is the url for the jdbc driver - to connect to DB2 on AS400 ?
Please share experiences of XI -- > posting to DB2 using JDBC.

Used standard xml -->SQL constructs

What is the data type for the Data Dashboard XY Graph?

Hey all,
I am playing with the new Data Dashboard (!!) on my iPad 2 and am having trouble setting up the shared variables that host data to the XY Graph.
On my PC, in my Project (inside of a variable library) I have set up shared variables for all of the other controls/indicators available in the app; They all work great. However, I have not been able to identify the data type that is for the XY Graph in Data Dashboard. Of course, inside LabVIEW, I use a cluster of 2 arrays; this is not an available data type that I can select while creating a new variable on the hosting side. I have even gone so far as to create a custom control from my XYGraph in LabVIEW and then creating the data type "From Custom Control..." with no success.
What gives? Am I missing something obvious? Thanks for the help!!
Tom
Solved!

Great question, Aerogoob.
The XY graph can be bound to a 1d array of "points", where each point is a cluster of two numerics (X and Y). To create a shared variable of this type, you can set the data type to "From Custom Control..." in the shared variable properties dialog. Of course, first you'll have to build the custom control of the correct type: array of cluster of two numerics.
If any of that doesn't make sense, please post back and we can walk you through it in more detail.
Also, just for completeness, the chart indicator can be bound to a scalar numeric or to an array of numerics. The graph indicator can only be bound to an array of numerics.

Incorrect MIME type for XML Data Connection POST requests

It appears that Xcelsius 2008u2019s XML Data Connection logic does not specify the correct MIME type for the data it sends to the server in its POST request. Using an HTTP debug proxy, I was able to see that Xcelsius sends XML data in the POST, but is setting a content-type of u201Cx-www-form-urlencodedu201D. According to the W3C spec:
http://www.w3.org/TR/html401/interact/forms.html#h-17.13.4.1
Data sent with a MIME type of u201Cxxu201D should be encoded as key?value pairs, like this:
key1=val1&key2=val2&Submit=Submit
So, what Xcelsius is doing is clearly incorrect. Worse, if your server process is a Java servlet, you may find that the POSTed data will be gobbled up by the servlet container and you wonu2019t be able to read it using a getInputStream(), or getReader() call because itu2019s already been processed by a call to the getParameter() method.
The correct mime type for POSTing an XML formatted request from Xcelsius should be "text/xml".

Hi,
The Error #2032 your getting is due to the Flash player security.
To remove this this error you need one crossdomain Xml file in the root directory which actually provides a lot more control over who has access to your data from a SWF. The cross domain policy is attached as crossdomain.xml.
In the XML file, it is used a wildcard (*). This allows a SWF located on any machine to access your data source. You can certainly use an IP address or domain name to restrict access rather to opening it up completely. I always start with the wildcard to make sure my dashboard works, then start restricting access as necessary.
Here is a whitepaper with everything you need to know about Flash player security:

Please let me know if you need any more clarification.

Data Type for a Longitude/Latitude Column in an Oracle dB Table?

Greetings All,
What is the recommended data type for a Longitude(Lon) or Latitude(Lat) Column of an Oracle dB Table? I am creating a signs inventory table in our Oracle database to be used as a data warehouse for our signs inventory. The Lon and Lat fields along with some other data will be populated from a MS access file exported from our Geodatabase. Currently the data type for the Lon and Lat fields of the MS access file is defined as "Double". A couple of Examples of the Lon and Lat data are as follows:
Lat                       Lon
59.4564555909     -135.3133542922
64.841125            -148.01808
...What data type should these two columns be defined in the new Oracle database table??? Should the data type be defined as FLOAT(126), NUMBER(10, 6), or else? Any suggestions/help on this would be greatly appreciated.
If the data type is defined as NUMBER(10,6), the first example of Lon "-135.3133542922" will be truncated to "-135.313354" or would I receive an error while trying to import the data from an access file to the Oracle dB?
Thanks in advance for any/all the help.

Orchid,
Is SDO_GEOMETRY available in Oracle 10g?Yup. I'm still on 10g as well; there's no shame in that.
How do I format my lat/long's into WKT and use the SDO_GEOMETRY constructor?The March 16th example shows the steps, but I take it you're trying to get your data from MS Access into Oracle. Is that right? If so, consider these options:
OPTION 1, When you have < 50k records
Simply write a query that returns INSERT statements that you can run against Oracle.
For example, let's say you have a table in MS Access defined as msaCoords (ID, LongX, LatY).
Let's say, your destination table in Oracle is named oraCoords(ID NUMBER, Geometry MDSYS.SDO_GEOMETRY). Then,
SELECT "INSERT INTO oraCoords (ID, Geometry) VALUES (" & ID & ", SDO_GEOMETRY('POINT (" & LongX & "," & LatY & "'), 8307);" FROM msaCoords;
-- "MS-ACCESS QUERY RESULTS"
INSERT INTO oraCoord (ID, Geometry) VALUES (1, SDO_GEOMETRY('POINT (-135.3133542922,59.4564555909'), 8307);
INSERT INTO oraCoord (ID, Geometry) VALUES (2, SDO_GEOMETRY('POINT (-148.01808,64.841125'), 8307);Save those MS-ACCESS QUERY RESULTS to a text-file (D:\MyPts.sql). Launch SqlPlus and type @D:\MyPts.sql
Once it's done, type Commit into SqlPlus and you're done.
OPTION 2, when you have > 50k records
Use SqlLoader. There's an example posted { here | http://forums.oracle.com/forums/thread.jspa?messageID=9412123&#9412123 }

What is the best data type for wallet application?

Hi Friends..
I want to know what is the best data type for wallet application..
Assume that, i want to the Total of money saved digitally in Applet Wallet..
And then if there's any transaction the Total of money which saved digitally in Applet Wallet would be Subtracted or Added depends on how much money that spent or saved..
Which one is the best implementation of these scenarios :
1. I save the User ID and Total of money in the Java Card, and then if there's any transactions, it would be added or subtracted directly and then saved again in the Java Card
2. Or.. I save the User ID in the Java Card whereas Total of money in the Database, and then if there's any transactions, the ID would be read from the Card, and then select the Database based on that ID, and then Add or Subtract the money depends on how much money spent in the Transaction
Please help me regarding this
Thanks in advance

Hi,
Personally I would choose to store the total amount stored on the card. You could use two shorts (short[] perhaps) to store an integer (add more shorts to increase precision) and simply handle overflow your self. You could even look into using a third party library (or class) that treats a byte array as a big integer etc. There were some posts recently on floating point arithmetic that could be helpful for you since you will probably want to use decimals and JC does not natively support floats.

Power View in SharePoint Server - The data extension type for a data source is not valid

Hi All,
All of a sudden I am getting following error when trying to create Power View report using shared report data source (no error testing the connection):
"The current action cannot be completed. The data extension type for a data source
'http://dev/Shared Ducuments/Sales.rsds' is not valid for this operation"
I already have a data source (I had created it after creating my site collection a week ago) and when I use this source to create Power View report then there is no error but I am getting above error when I create another similar data source and use it to create
a Power View report.
Please help me to resolve the error.
Thanks

I am going nuts! I had selected 'Analysis Services' instead of 'Microsoft BI Semantic Model for Power View'

Data Type for Process Flow... PB with Date?

I've got a problem by passing parameters in process flow.
I have a mapping with a parameter DATE_EXEC (data type : DATE) and a default value that is TO_DATE('20/01/2007' , 'dd/mm/yyyy') . My mapping is working good when i launch it.
I have a process flow which contains the mapping. This process has a parameter DATE_EXEC (data type : DATE). I bind the 2 DATE_EXEC. But when i launch my mapping the value is not recognized, I try with :
- TO_DATE('20/01/2007' , 'dd/mm/yyyy')
- 20/01/2007
- 2007.01.20
- 2007-01-20
My question is what are the data type in process flow? They are not ORACLE TYPE.
For example , a parameter in a mapping which is a VARCHAR2 must be input between quotes but if you bind it to a parameter of a process flow which is a STRING (not ORACLE Data type) , you must input it without quotes?
Anybody has some rules about that?
I apologize for my english, i'm a french people.

Here is some information on the literal quote or not quote query and what I think you need to do at the end, hope it helps. Not exactly intuitive...since the flow designer (you) have to know what is a PLSQL object and what is not.
1. Literal = FALSE
When Literal = FALSE is set then the value entered must be a valid PL/SQL expression which is evaluated at the Control Center e.g.
'Hello World!'
22 / 7
2. Literal = TRUE
When Literal = TRUE then the value is dependent on the the type of Activity. If the activity is a PL/SQL object i.e. Mapping or Transformation, then the value is PL/SQL snippet. The critical difference here is that the value is macro substituted into the call for the object. The format of the value is identical to that entered as default value in the Mapping editor. e.g.
'Hello World!'
sysdate()
If the activity type is not a PL/SQL object then the value is language independent. e.g.
Hello World
3.1427571
What you should try......
Check the map activity parameter in your process flow to see if literal is false (an expression), set it to false and then try using your TO_DATE('20/01/2007' , 'dd/mm/yyyy') expression, deploy your flow and execute. Alternatively the user guide defines the DATE type for flow with the format YYYY-MM-DD so you can have the parameter value as '2007-01-20' use literal equal to true and remember and quote your value.

Query regarding the data type for fetcing records from multiple ODS tables

hey guys;
i have a query regarding the data type for fetcing records from multiple ODS tables.
if i have 2 table with a same column name then in the datatype under parent row node i cant add 2 nodes with the same name.
can any one help with some suggestion.

Hi Mudit,
One option would be to go as mentioned by Padamja , prefxing the table name to the column name or another would be to use the AS keyoword in your SQL statement.
AS is used to rename the column name when data is being selected from your DB.
So, the query Select ename as empname from emptable will return the data with column name as empname.

Labview How to specify 1d array of clusters as data types for variant to data

Hi, I'm new to labview. Can anyone tell me how to specify 1d array of clusters as data types for variant to data?

First of all, you should be sure that there is such a data type within the variant; otherwise, you will run into errors.
I recommend you to create the cluster and create a type definition from it. Then drop an array shell from the array palette and drop the cluster type into that array.
Connect that constant to the data type input of the Variant To Data function.

Default date type for IT0041 in action

Hi,
I configure feature DATAR to set 01 as default date type for IT0041, but when I do hiring action, default date type will be 01,02,12.
Don't know where to change the default.

Hi,
Please verify if there is any dynamic action in table V_T588Z set-up for same which may cause override over default.
Also, verify if your DATAR feature is set up correctly for relevant country grouping and activated.

How create data type for coulmn name having special characters in IR

hi ,
any idea how to create how to do create data type for coulmn name having special characters

Hi Amit,
Can you ellaborate ?
Actually if you are reading a file(or anything else) which contains special characters, the data type can be created as done for other interfaces. But it is in the adapters that we actually take care of handling these special characters.
