External table - bad row - Please help

Hi,
I have one external table which is associated with a LOAN.DAT file.
If some rows are bad means external table is dumping a bad file with
the 'bad row' in .bad file. Is there any way to identify what is the reason for
this or which column caused the row to be bad?
Regards,
Mathew Collins.

Hi Mathew,
Is there any way to identify what is the reason for this or which column caused the row to be bad?
Not that know of. I usually just carefully inspect the row and compare it with the format mask:
I have a reproduceable example, here, this might help:

External Table Help

I have created an external table but when i try to select data it seems to be empty, where could be the problem?
Thanks

The log file and bad file are part of the external table definition. I'm not where where Oracle Warehouse Builder (OWB) would put those files-- they may be in the same directory as the data file. You could check the external table definition to be sure, though.

How do you set up csv as an oracle external table

How do you set up csv as an oracle external table?

Hi,
>>where do I specify which csv file to read from the external table..
Please, read either the link provided by Andrew or the link that I have posted in my previous post.
"# DEFAULT DIRECTORY - specifies the default location of files that are read or written by external tables. The location is specified with a directory object, not a directory path. See Location of Datafiles and Output Files for more information.
# LOCATION - specifies the location of the external data. The location is specified as a list of directory objects and filenames. If the directory object is not specified, then the default directory object is used as the file location."

Can we take backup of external table using expdp

Can we take backup of external table using expdp, please suggest any doc.
thanks in advance.

@Fahd
About the ACCESS_METHOD parameter
-It's undocumented data pump parameter and it's should be used only when requested by Oracle Support
-It's purpose is to specify the loading/unloading method, not filtering object types during the export or import
-If this parameter is not specified,the Data Pump will automatically choose the best method to load or unload the data...
so,
the External Tables method
-Is used by the data pump if data cannot be moved in the default method to load/unload data ,
and that is direct path mode, or if there is a situation where parallel SQL can be used to speed up the data move even more

Help with external table authorization

Hi Every One,
I am using OBIEE 11.1.1.6.
I have setup MSAD authentication through rpd and every user is able to login to analytics.
And there is an external table in the database where I have all the user and their groups( all users in MSAD are in this table)
I have created session variable called GROUP to have these usergroups for authorization.
I have created the groups in the front end with exact names that are in the external table.
But I cant set up the Required privilages
every user is seeing all the reports and subject areas.
Do I need to create the application roles with exact names as groups names in rpd?
Do i need to create groups in weblogic console?
Please help me in this regard.

Hi,
I have created the groups in the front end with exact names that are in the external table.
Do I need to create the application roles with exact names as groups names in rpd?No need to create any groups or application roles in rpd.
Test Authorization init block properly.
Create application roles under console, which are nothing but groups in your external table. Apply security to dashboards accordingly.

In the previous version, the menu table in table options, there is an option that gives me the option: the Return key moves to next cell. I do not see this option in the new number. can you help me please?

Hi silvano,
If you use a regular pattern when entering values, press enter (return) after entering the last value in a row. That will take you to the first Body Cell of the next row.
Start in Cell B2
1 Tab 2 Tab 3 Enter
4 Tab 5 Tab 6 Enter
7 Tab 8 Tab 9 Enter
Now you are ready to type into B5 .
Another way that some people find easier is to enter one column at a time
Start at B2
1 enter
4 enter
7 enter
etc.
Now start with C2.
Use whatever suits your work flow.
Regards,
Ian.

I am new with iMac and I am trying to copy some file from my external HDD but it does not let me also I can't delete anything from this HDD using the finder. Can somebody help me , please?

I am new with iMac and I am trying to copy some file from my external HDD that a used with my PC but it does not let me also I can't delete anything from this HDD using the finder. Can somebody help me , please?

No, unfortunately, when you format a drive, it will erase all the contents. So you will need to find a temporary "storage" place to put the stuff using a PC so you have access to it. Then reformat using Disk Utility (Applications > Utilities). If only using with mac, format Mac OS Extended (Journaled) and use GUID Partition scheme under Partitions/Options. After formatting, you can drag the files back.

I run an itune 10.4 and would like to back up my entire library to a DVD, because I do not have an external hard drive to back it up to (as the "help" topic is sugesting). Is it possible and if so, can someone help me please.

This is no longer done via iTunes.
Use whatever CD/DVD burner software is installed on your computer.
Add the iTunes media folder to the list of files/folders to burn to disc.

My PC computer was wiped (virus) including itunes. How do I transfer the many playlists and music to the new re-installed itunes?? Ipod is synced to old itunes. I have all original music files on external hard drive. Please help?

New itunes is trying to wipe the ipod. But have many many playlists (many hours making) which I want to save. Any help would be appreciated.

If you want to just extract the playlists from your iPod, plug it in iTunes. When it appears under devices, right->click on it and choose Export Playlists. Save them to a location such as your desktop and them import them into your library once you have copied and imported all of your music back into it.
See this older post from another forum member Zevoneer covering the different methods and software available to assist you with the task of copying content from your iPod back to your PC and into iTunes.
