Expression builder

i want to use if function in expession builde .
iig(month( @[User::edate) ==2 and year(@[User::edate) ==2015), 4 ,12)
please help me

Hi coool_sweet,
According to your description, you created a variable of datetime type named edate and a variable of int, you want to use iif function in expression builder. If that is the case, we can use the expression like below:
month( @[User::edate] ) == 2 && year( @[User::edate] ) ==2015? 4 : 12
The following screenshot is for your reference:
If you have any more questions, please feel free to ask.

Expression Builder: convert string to number

Hi all,
I'm having trouble building a field validation rule for bank account numbers.
The numbers have 12 positions, so I cannot use a string or text number.
The validation rule to be implemented is that the last two digits are calculated based on the first 10 (modulo 97).
However, when I use the Mid function to pick the first characters, I am unable to do any calculations on it. Apparently, the string to number conversion doesn't work (it should work when I read the manual, as it says that when using an operator between two data types, the second type is converted to the first (cf. example of 1234+abcd (should result in 1234 as to the manual))). So I tried '1*Mid(...)' or '0+Mid(...)'. Syntactically the expression builder accepts it and I can save it. BUT when I change the particular value on the screen, it gives me an SSO error (not the Field Validation error message I entered).
Why isn't there simply a function ToNumber (like ToChar)????? How could I workaround this?
Any input very welcome!
Frederik

Apparently, I was a bit confused when typing the first sentence, it should be:
The numbers have 12 positions, so I cannot use an integer or number data type, but have to use String.

Using Decode in Expression Builder...

Hi everybody,
I want to use the DECODE function of SQL in an Expression Builder....
Of course this function does not exist in any of the transformation categories(arithmetic,character,e.t.c.) in the expression builder.
I have read in the OWB on-line help that in the Expression Builder there should be an 'Others' drop - down list in order to select any of the available SQL clauses - one of them is 'decode'...
The problem is that this drop - down list in the Expression Builder is disabled.....
How can I use this function anyway..????
Instead of using ... in the Expression Builder...
decode(<column_name>,'1','val_one','2','val_two') what can I use to do the same....???
As regards the problem that the drop-down list is disabled , what may be the cause..???
I use Microsoft XP machine , Oracle 10g (v.10.2) and OWB v.10.1.0.4
The documentation says....
"This allows you to deploy the DECODE functionality in all operating modes (setbased, rowbased, etc.) and transparently across Oracle database releases (8.1, 9.0 and 9.2)."
The above means that the cause is the incompatibility..????
Thanks , a lot
Simon

I am using OWB 9.2.0.8 and I can't reproduce the problem you are having with 10.1, but did you try just typing it into the expression?
Or, better yet, use CASE. The syntax is easier to read. I think OWB translates DECODEs to CASE when the SQL is generated.
(Case <column_name>
When '1' Then 'val_one'
When '2' Then 'val_two'
End)

How to use SQL OVER and PARTITION BY in OBIEE Expression Builder??

Hi there,
I want to create a new logical coulmn with the following SQL query.
SUM(Inventory Detail.Qty) OVER(PARTITION BY Inventory Detail.A,Inventory Detail.B,Item.C,Inventory Detail.D,MyDATE )/SUM(Inventory Detail.Qty) OVER(PARTITION BY Inventory Detail.A,Inventory Detail.B,Item.C )
How to use the OVER and PARTITION BY in OBIEE Expression Builder??
Thanks in Advance

hi bipin,
We cant use by in Expression builder(rpd) .But use the same formula like this in Fx of answers
SUM(Inventory Detail.Qty) OVER(PARTITION BY Inventory Detail.A,Inventory Detail.B,Item.C,Inventory Detail.D,MyDATE )/SUM(Inventory Detail.Qty) >OVER(PARTITION BY Inventory Detail.A,Inventory Detail.B,Item.C )SUM(Inventory Detail.Qty by Detail,ITEM,Mydate)/SUM(qty by detail,item)
First check the numerator whether it was giving correct results or not then go with denominator
compare the results with sql that u have
Let me know if that does work
thanks,
saichand.v

Checking for empty tags using expression builder for XPATH

I am creating several filters in a mediator for several parallel paths. I am trying to route the mediator to the correct DB adapter based on what tags are empty in the incoming XML. The XML has 1 required tag and 3 optional. So for the expression, I am using the expression builder to load the tag name then putting either [text()] or [not(text())] immediately after each tag with an "and" in between for the 3 optional elements. The problem I am having is they always return false. For example, if I enter a value for an optional tag and put [text()] after it, it evaluates to false. What is the correct way to check if an element has text or not?
Thanks in advance!

Hi,
Its not recognizing the getVariableData func... instead try this:
string-length(xpath)>0
ex: string-length($in.body/imp1:manoj/imp1:C1)>0
It works... Happy deploying ... :)

How to use TRUNC function with dates in Expression Builder in OBIEE.

Hi There,
How to use TRUNC function with dates in Expression Builder in OBIEE.
TRUNC (SYSDATE, 'MM') returns '07/01/2010' where sysdate is '07/15/2010' in SQL. I need to use the same thing in expression builder in BMM layer logical column.

use this instead:

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

Compare only DATE portion of a datetime field in Expression builder

Hi! All,
This may be a simple question, but I couldn't find the answer. I have a query where I want to say :
Expression exp = exp1.get("startDateTime").equal(pDate);
here pDate is a java.util.Date class with a time stamp.
I wish to basically compare just the DATE portion of the value stored in the data base with only the DATE portion of "pDate" and ignore the time component.
How do I do this in expression builder?
By the way we are on Toplink 9.0.4.5
Thanks

There are a couple of ways to accomplish this. You could use between(beginningOfDay,endOfDay) where beginning of day is 12:00:00am on the date specified in pDate and end of day is 11:59:59pm on pDate. Or you could consider using a combination of dateName(), datePart(), and/or truncateDate() expressions to compare at the day, month, year level. I am not sure which would give you better performance, so you might need to do some testing to verify.
In the first case, create beginningOfDay and endOfDay based upon the date housed in pDate. Then:
Expression selectionCriteria = exp1.get("startDateTime").between(beginningOfDay,endOfDay);
In the second case, there would be a little more code to write:
Expression startDateTimeExp = exp1.get("startDateTime");
Expression dayExp = startDateTimeExp.datePart("day");
Expression monthExp = startDateTimeExp.datePart("month");
Expression yearExp = startDateTimeExp.datePart("year");
int desiredDay = get day of month from pDate;
int desiredMonth = get month of year from pDate;
int desiredYear = get year from pDate;
Expression selectionCriteria = dayExp.equal(desiredDay).and(monthExp.equal(desiredMonth)).and(yearExp.equal(desiredYear));
Check out the TopLink API docs on the Expression class for more details on what these Expression building methods do : http://download-west.oracle.com/docs/cd/B10464_05/web.904/b10491/index.html

Why is ADF Bindings node not displayed in Expression Builder window?

Hello,
I'm using Oracle JDeveloper Studio Edition Version 11.1.1.1.0, and I've created a Fusion Web Application and I've configured ADF Authentication and Security for my web project, using the provided wizard.
On a certain page, I've placed a Go Link component, and I'm trying to edit the Text and Destination Property using EL Expressions. When I open the Expression Builder window all I can see are the following nodes: ADF Controller Objects, ADF Managed Beans, JSF Managed Beans and JSP Objects, but no ADF Bindings. I need to access the securityContext properties, and from what I've read in B31974-03, I need ADF Bindings.
Also, I've tryied using the search field from the Expression Builder windows, without any luck.
This is probably a newbie problem, but I really can't figure it out. Please help.
Bogdan.

Hi,
maybe your problem is that you don't have created pageDef related with your page. Try right click on your page and Go To Page Definition. It will create the related pageDef if it does not exist.
Hope this helps

Can multi-select picklist be used in Expression Builder?

Does CRMOD allow the use of multi-slect picklist in Expression Builder within workflow?

Thanks Suddu your process worked. This can be done it is just a little more manual than being able to select the field from the drop down list.
To do this go to Admin, Application Customization, choose your record type, then Field Setup. Click on Rename Fields, then Advanced and copy the multi-select picklist field. Paste it into expression builder and at the end of the name add _ITAG. You will also need to add the brackets as well. Doing this will allow you to use a mspl in expression builder.

How to user #{or} in expression builder

Dear All,
am using jdeveloper 11.1.1.3
I have an input text in an adf page , I need to disable this input text depending on two bindings with or operator--> if one of them is true then disable the input text...
If this possible and if yes then how ?
I noticed the Operands in the expression builder popup but i dont know how to use it
Regards,
Lama

You can use 'and' and 'or' instead of '&&' and '||', which is especially nice for '&&' as you would have to use '& amp ;& amp ;' (without spaces) if typed into source of the jspx directly.

Max date by month in expression builder

Hello
I'd need to create a new logical column and use the expression builder to make this column return only the last day of each month. I know at answers level I can write something like this in the formulas: Max(Date by month). However I can't do that in expression builder as it doesn't like the word 'by'..
Is there a way to get it done?
Thanks in advance!

Hello,
The max(date) should work in logical layer. As when you pull in month it automatically groups by month.
thanks,

Object type mappings in expression builder

Hi,
I'm trying to use expression builder to give me a query returning all instances of an object with a particular foreign key, and where 'active' = true.
'active' is a CHAR field in the database with values 'T' or 'F' and this is mapped to a Boolean in workbench as true and false.
All works fine in normal operations, retrieving and writing the data.
I've written the expression as
myId EQUAL arg
AND
active EQUAL 'true'
where 'true' is a literal of type Boolean.
Unfortunately, running this query generates an error that no mapping exists for 'true'.
I've also tried changing it to
active EQUAL 'T'
where 'T' is a literal of type String.
This also generates an error.
It seems to me as though the object type mapping is confusing the expression builder and it can't generate the sql correctly.
Any ideas?

Can you post the specific version of TopLink, the exact code you are using to construct and execute your query, as well as the error message with stack trace. With these items we should be able to provide an answer for you.

"Others Tab" disabled in Expression Builder

I am tryng to create a very simple mapping with one source (Table) an Expresion Operator and a Target table. The problem I am facing is that the "Others Tab (Dropdown)" is coming as disabled in the Expression Builder. If any one can help me on this that will be really helpful for me !~
Thanks
Anish

As well as using the transformation route it is possible to just type whatever you want here (within the context of the expression operator and the mode in which it will be executed). If you want to refer to attributes of the operate use the Inputs tab.
It looks to be disabled in the expression operator but not in other operators such as filter, aggregator

Hi, I dont think this function is supported in workflow expressions. It is only available in reporting / analytics. Even there it only Rounds a noninteger numerical expression to the next highest integer. Even the function round doesnt seem to be available in workflow functions list
