Error in CASE statement used in Reports query

My query has lots of selection criteria. I'm trying to use CASE for that.
This is a part of my query with parameters:
AND ad.location IN (CASE &p_location
WHEN 1 THEN
(SELECT TRIM(code_nbr) FROM code_detail
WHERE code_nbr like 'LC%')
WHEN 2 THEN -- then the user can type in more than 1 locations
&p_location1|| p_location2
END)
AND --- there are more conditions after this
The query fails that invalid relational operator in this CASE statement.
Any suggestions...is there any other way to do it...Thanks in advance

I would recommend the use of lexical parameters in the before report trigger
Set up a parameter SQL_WHERE - text, 4000 chars.
In your datamodel get rid of the case statement and just put &SQL_WHERE
In the before report trigger modify your case statement to be something like:
&SQL_WHERE:=' and ad.location in ';
case when :p_location = 1 then
&SQL_WHERE:=&SQL_WHERE||' select trim(code_nbr) from code_detail etc';
end
This way you can debug and test your case statement in the pl/sql environment. Plus the query should run faster as you are moving the complex where statement into a separate part of the report

'Missing select' error for update statement using WITH clause

Hi,
I am getting the below error for update statement using WITH clause
SQL Error: ORA-00928: missing SELECT keyword
UPDATE A
set A.col1 = 'val1'
     where
A.col2 IN (
WITH D AS
SELECT col2 FROM
(SELECT col2, MIN(datecol) col3 FROM DS
WHERE <conditions>
    GROUP BY PATIENT) D2
WHERE
<conditions on A.col4 and D2.col3>

Hi,
The format of a query using WITH is:
WITH d AS
    SELECT ... -- sub_query
SELECT ...   -- main query
You don't have a main query. The keyword FROM has to come immediately after the right ')' that ends the last WITH clause sub-query.
That explains the problem based on what you posted. I can't tell if the real problem is in the conditions that you didn't post.
I hope this answers your question.
If not, post a complete test script that people can run to re-create the problem and test their ideas. Include a little sample data (CREATE TABLE and INSERT statements, relevant columns only) for all the tables involved, and the results you want from that data.
In the case of a DML operation (such as UPDATE) the sample data should show what the tables are like before the DML, and the results will be the contents of the changed table(s) after the DML.
Explain, using specific examples, how you get those results from that data.
Always say what version of Oracle you're using (e.g. 11.2.0.2.0).

Case statement in a multiple query

I think you're getting the idea, but:
You're still selecting 2 columns in the (scalar) subquery. Did you read the link I posted for you?
"a) scalar subqueries - *a single row, single column query that you use in place of a "column"*, it looks like a column or function."
You must move that query outside, join to template.
Something like:

How to Generate a MDX statement using a BEX query

Hello,
Is there any possiblity in BW to generate a MDX statement using a BEx query?
Thanks,
Ravi

BW does not generate any MDX statement for Bex query.I have tried ample number of times to acheive this but failed.
Like an Infocube the Query is also an object where in you can write MDX queries on BEx Queries.
As it is I never found BW rendering MDX queries.But with MDX queries you can get something but how far it helps I don't know.
RSCRM_BAPI is obsolete and it is recommended to use RSCRM_REPORT somewhere I have read ,but when I went to that transaction I never found that "MDX" button at all.
It was converted to "OLAP Check" which gave me some warning on the key figures and that's it.
Somehow I feel BW is not comfortable with MDX.

Using crystal reports query (.qry) as datasource in crystal 9

I have a problem using crystal reports query as a datasource in crystal reports 9. When Im using a report withing application i cannot change database or server property of the query.
For example - during report design im using one odbc for query but I want to change it during runtime.
Changing any options beside username or password results in external exception. Im using Builder XE as application environment.
I tried switching to SQL commands which works but i lose all the fields on report when changing from query to report.
Is there a way to make query work or to change query to sql command without losing all the fields (and putting them back on the report manually)?

Hello,
Unfortunately .QRY files are no longer supported as of CR 9. We replaced it with the Command Object where it basically did the same thing only you had to write the query yourself.
The problem is because the Command Object can be anything CR has no way of mapping a query to the database field within the report so it auto deletes all of the fields.
The only way is to create new reports, you can open the original report in one window and then create your new report, copy the SQL into the Command windows and then copy and paste the report objects from the window with the old report into the new report window.
There is no migration wizard to do this. I have heard of others who used the RAS server or RDC to get the objects from one report and .add them to the new report. Depending on the number of reports you have depends on if it is worth the time writing that app or just rebuild all of your reports.
Thank you
Don

SQL Query CASE statement using two fields

Hi,
I have two fields. One is called rescategory1, the other is called rescategory2.
I'm not sure if its a CASE statement I need or some sort of WHERE clause but I want to create a query that does the following or something similar:
CASE rescategory2
WHEN rescategory1 = '44' AND rescategory2 = '1' THEN 'Backup'
WHEN rescategory1 = '44' AND rescategory2 = '2' THEN 'Hardware'
END AS [Resolution Sub Category]
Basically, I'm looking to give rescategory2 a value based on that of rescategory1 and rescategory2 combined.
How do I write this?
Cheers
Paul

do you mean this?
rescategory2 = CASE
WHEN rescategory1 = '44' AND rescategory2 = '1' THEN 'Backup'
WHEN rescategory1 = '44' AND rescategory2 = '2' THEN 'Hardware'
END
ie assigning value for rescategory2

Hi,
For OPTIONAL support in 11.1.0.7.0, you need the following patch
Patch 7600122: CURLY BRACE SYNTAX,VIRTUAL MODELS, NETWORK INDEXES AND HINTO FRAMEWORK SUPPORT
Support for SPARQL FILTERs in SEM_MATCH is not available for 11.1.0.7.0. You will need version 11.2.0.1.0 or later for FILTER support. With 11.2.0.1.0, we recommend that you apply our latest patch set:
Patch 9819833: SEMANTIC TECHNOLOGIES 11G R2 FIX BUNDLE 2
All of the above patches are available through My Oracle Support.

are you using this in pl/sql block or at SQl
there two things.
you are missing

2. if rou are using pl/sql block then INTO clause goes after all the column,

Need to Pass Active Directory Attributes into OBIEE for use in Report Query

Hi,
We're using OBIEE 11.1.1.5 and have integrated it with AD security. Users successfully log into OBIEE and BIP (which is integrated with OBIEE) using their network/AD accounts.
Next step for us is to be able to pass some AD attributes that are on the user accounts into OBIEE and BIP so we can restrict data queries for the person logged in.
I've searched the web and so far have only come up with specific steps for setting this up in BIP. Since BIP is integrated with OBIEE, we have not set any of the MSAD/LDAP security up there - it is all in OBIEE. I have been unable to find the equivalent for adding the attribute names for data query bind variables.
With our current setup, we are unable to filter the report data automatically based on who has logged into the application (analytics and BIP). We have security setup within the catalog so only certain AD groups can access objects, but beyond that we need to be able to secure the data using AD attribute information. For example, all of our users should be able to access an Open Purchase Order report, but they should only be able to see their own purchase orders - not everyone in the company.
Anyway, we're looking to be able to pass AD attributes into OBIEE so that we can use this data in our Analytics and BIP queries.
How can we get this setup?
Thank you in advance!

Hello,
crpe32 as a report engine was deprecated as of CR 9. But I now assume you maybe using Delphi? Would be more informative if you gave all this info first so we don't have to ask or guess...
Search here if you are using delphi on "delphi" and you'll find more info and how to's.
If you are not using Delphi then your only option now is to either move to the RDC which also was deprecated in CR XI R2 or use our .NET assemblies and upgrade to Visual Studio 2008 or 2010.
Thank you

Help with error select case statement (ORA-00932: inconsistent datatypes)

Hi,
I'm struggling to get my sql query work on Oracle..
I have a table MyTable with 5 columns ( Column1, Column2, Column3, Column4, Column5 ) all are of type NVARCHAR2.
I need to check whether Column 3, Column 4 are empty or not in that order..and if they values then I wanna append it to Column2.
For example
If a row contains the following values,
Column 2 = a.b
Column 3 = 123
Column 4 = xyz
then column CA = a.b/123/xyz where column CA = temp column
If either Column 3 or Column 4 is empty/null, then I don't need to append value for that column..
For example
Column 2 = a.b
Column 3 = either NULL or ''
Column 4 = xyz
then CA = a.b/xyz where column CA = temp column
similarly..
Column 2 = a.b
Column 3 = 123
Column 4 = either NULL or ''
then CA = a.b/123 where column CA = temp column
Here is my query..
select MyTable.Column1 as CA0,
MyTable.Column2 as CA1,
MyTable.Column3 as CA2,
MyTable.Column4 as CA3,
MyTable.Column5 as CA4,
MyTable.Column2 + CASE WHEN MyTable.Column3 > '' THEN '/' + MyTable.Column3 ELSE '' END + CASE WHEN MyTable.Column4 > '' THEN '/' + MyTable.Column4 ELSE '' END CA
from MyTable;
This query works just fine against SQL Server db, but gainst Oracle I'm getting
ORA-00932: inconsistent datatypes: expected NUMBER got CHAR
00932. 00000 - "inconsistent datatypes: expected %s got %s"
Could you please let me know what I'm doing wrong. I need to get this query working on both SQL Server and Oracle..
Please let me know your suggestions and thoughts..
Cheers,

I need to check whether Column 3, Column 4 are empty or not in that order..and if they values then I wanna append it to Column2. In Oracle, you can do it this way - no need to do all kinds of difficult things:
select col2||col3||col4

else -1
end
Kindly help me out in fixing this error or suggest any alternate way to use the above query in OWB expression builder.
Thanks,

We are using OWB version 10.2.0.1.0. While using the below case statement We are getting the validation message as 'The expression is not properly formed'.
Did you try to deploy the mapping ? Some time the expression validator gives wrong error messege.
Try to deploy the mapping and see if you are still getting this issue
Case statement used in expression builder:
case when (INGRP1.CHARGETYPE in ('O','F') or INGRP1.TARIFF_GROUP in ('SMSINT','MMSINT')or ( INGRP1.CALL_TYPE = '002' and INGRP1.TARIFF_GROUP = 'MTV'))
then
(select call_zone_reltn_key from call_zone_reltn where
call_zone_cd=substr(case
               when substr( INGRP1.B_SUBNO,1,2)='00'
               then
               substr( INGRP1.B_SUBNO,3)
               else substr( INGRP1.B_SUBNO,1)
