Footer needs to pull data from main table

Hi Gurus,
I need to have a footer which displays the value of a tag from the main table in BI publisher. The main table in the BI Publisher has the customer information and the address information of the customer needs to print on the footer of the page that displays the customer. This address would change for each customer. There must be a way to do this. I searched through the BI Publisher forum but couldnt find any way to do this. Could you pls help.
Thanks,
Swarna

hi Paolyn,
We can't insert data's from table using publisher desktop
just double click on the footer part and added the data with the following format
<?CUSTOMERNAME?>
<?CUSTOMERNUMBER?>
The tag value should be in upper case
then close the footer and try that
Thanks,

the procedure should delete all info reg. code 760
and the table clients and also all the child records of this table
perting to code 760.
simply .. i need to delete from the table passed and also
all the child tables down the heirarchy regarding certain code ...
help ???

Hi,
Depends how you defined referential integrity.
You can use ON DELETE CASCADE, please read the next doc http://download-west.oracle.com/docs/cd/B10501_01/server.920/a96540/clauses3a.htm#1002692
Hope this help you,

Need Help Pulling Data from Oracle Table (Newby)

Let me start of by saying I'm very new to Java so the code may be messy/poorly coded (I'm trying!). However, I've come a long way already and the code is almost working (it compiles and returns what I expect in one case). What I'm trying to do is prompt the user to enter a type, then a key. I use that type to determine the SQL statement to use then I use the key as part of the SQL statement.
If I enter 'custnum' as the type, then a string as my key, it finds the record fine.
If I any of my other valid types (lname, address or phone) and then enter my key, the result set is empty. I've verified that there are matching records for the type/key I'm entering.
I've tried stepping it through the debugger and looking at various variables along the way both with the working scenario and the not-working scenario, but I can't find anything. I'm sure it's a simple coding mistake, but I don't really know how to track it down.
Any ideas on what's going wrong would be greatly appreciated. Thanks!

You're new to Java, so you can be forgiven. You actually tried to do some good things, like close resources. Good for you.
Do yourself a favor and start trying to think in terms of objects.
Let's call that class CustomerTableGateway.
Let's write separate methods for each kind of SQL statement you have.
Get the logic out of the main method. It's almost useless there.
There's a computer science principle called DRY - Don't Repeat Yourself. When you see code being repeated, see if you can find a way to rewrite it so you only do it once.
I'd recommend that you start with a Customer class. Figure out how to map a row from your CUST table into the Customer object. Have an interface that would look like this:
public interface CustomerDao
    Customer findById(String id);
    List<Customer> findByLastName(String lastName);
    List<Customer> findByName(String firstName, String lastName);
    List<Customer> findByEmail(String email);
    List<Customer> findByPhone(String phone);
}Have another interface called RowMapper:
public interface RowMapper
    Object map(ResultSet rs);
}An implementation for one of those methods might look like this:
public Customer findById(String id)
     Customer customer = null;
     PreparedStatement stmt = null;
     ResultSet rs = null;
     try
         stmt = this.connection.prepareStatement(FIND_CUSTOMER_BY_ID);
         stmt.setString(1, id);
         rs = stmt.executeQuery();
         while (rs.next())
             customer = (Customer)this.customerMapper.map(rs);
    catch (SQLException e)
        e.printStackTrace();
    finally
        DatabaseUtils.close(rs);      // move those nice close methods into a utility class so you can reuse them.
        DatabaseUtils.close(stmt);
    return customer;
}You did a pretty good job. Just go further.

I need to copy data from a table in one database (db1) to another table in

Hi
I need to copy data from a table in one database (db1) to another table in another database (db2).
I am not sure if the table exists in db2,,,if it doesnot it needs to be created as well data also needs to be inserted...
How am I supposed to this using sql statements..?
I shall be happy if it is explained SQL also...
Thanking in advance

How many rows does the table contains? There are manyway you can achieve this.
1. export and import.
2. create a dblink between two databases and use create table as select, if structure doesnot exists in other database, if structure exists, use, insert into table select command.
example:
create a dblink in db2 database for db1 database.
create table table1 as select * from table1@db1 -- when there is no structure present
-- you need to add constraints manually, if any exists.
insert into table1 select * from table1@db1 -- when there is structure present.
If the table contains large volume of data, I would suggest you to use export and import.

Pull data from a table in HTML format from external URL into a Servlet

How do I pull data from existing website html table into a Servlet?
I will need to pull the data into a servlet. So, the servelet will need to go to the URL and get the data and save them as variables.
I know I will need an array to store the data. I just dont know how to call the URL and have the servelet search the site for the <table> </table>.
I will later use this to save to a database.
Thanks

Pull data from SQL Table and display it in mail

I have a requirement to pull the data from SQL table and send it in email. Currently I am sending the hard coded info in email but is it possible to pull some data from SQL Table and than format it and send it across in the same email?
Can you guide me with steps on this.
Neil

There are several ways to do this. First is to populate a file in a data flow and then send that as an attachment in the send mail task.
As far as including the results in the email body this becomes a bit trickier. To use a variable you would need to use an SSIS variable type of
Object, this is similar to a collection in .NET. The problem once the object is populated is that it isn't like a readable result set, but again more like an array or a collection. There is no native method to take the object variable and
specify .ToString() or cast its results as text. You would need to iterate through each row and append it to another variable of type string, this could be done with a script task or ForEach container.
Also you mentioned formatting the results. What type of formatting were you looking for. A limitation of the SMTP send mail task is that the message body doesn't support HTML so if you were looking at creating a table within the mail body you
would have to use a script task or a custom component

Using ABAP DATA FLOW to pull data from APO tables

I am trying to use an ABAP Data flow to pull data from APO and receive error 150301. I can do a direct table pull and receive no error, but when I try to put it in an ABAP data data flow I get the issue. Any help would be great.

Hi
I know you "closed" this, however someone else might read it so I'll add that when you use an ABAP dataflow, logic can be pushed to ECC - table joins, filters, etc. (Which can be seen in the generated ABAP).

Is there any datasource available to pull data from NAST table?

The field I am trying to pull out of NAST (Message Status) table is NACHA. Please provide me hints if any Business Content Datasource uses this table or we have to create a custom extractor for the same?
Regards,
Joy

I dont think there is a standard business content datasource to extract data from NAST table. If you are going to use this data in some other LO modules based on the requirement enhance the datasource and append fields and write code to populate the message types.
If you are going to use this as stand alone data, then you can go ahead and create a generic datasource based on table.

Using a substitution variable to pull data from a table

Hello,
I am working with a simple program that asks the user to enter any info that will relate to a table in the db.
Thus far I have read 1,000 ways to accomplish this, and none of them work.
PROMPT
ACCEPT var PROMPT 'Enter var'
DECLARE
BEGIN
SELECT &var
FROM &table
WHERE var=tablevar;
END;

Thanks for the feedback. Though I understand your logic, it doesn't seem to properly apply here. This is a more detailed explanation of what I've done.
First, I create the table
CREATE TABLE starbright
(planet_num VARCHAR2(3),
planet VARCHAR2(20));
INSERT INTO starbright VALUES
(257, 'Neptune');
INSERT INTO starbright VALUES
(367, 'Venus');
INSERT INTO starbright VALUES
(586, 'Mars');
INSERT INTO starbright VALUES
(725, 'Earth');Now, with that table created, I want to be able to periodically use PL/SQL to call data from the table, such as below
DECLARE
p_no := '&planet_num';
BEGIN
INSERT p_no
INTO starbright;
SELECT planet_num
INTO p_no
FROM starbright
WHERE planet_num := p_no;
dbms_output.put_line( 'Result: ' || planet );
END;This is my generic error
Error report:
ORA-06550: line 2, column 6:

   constant exception <an identifier>
   <a double-quoted delimited-identifier> table LONG_ double ref

Urgent:Logic needed to fetch data from Internal Table

Here i have an internal table having Emp no,Emp name,Salary fields....
With unique Emp no.
My requirement is i want to fetch all the details of the employees(like empno,emp name, emp address..) whose salary is the third highest salary.
Note: Many employees can have unique salary.
I need the logic for that,
helpfull ans ill be rewarded.

suppose ur table has three fields like
types : begin of typ_emp,
             num type i ,
             name type char20 ,
             salary type char10 ,
           end of typ_emp.
data : it_emp type table of typ_emp ,
         it1_emp TYPE TABLE OF typ_emp ,
        wa_emp type typ_emp .
DATA : count TYPE i ,
           w_salary type i .
code is
SORT it_emp BY salary ASCENDING .
it1_emp = it_emp .
Take the all data to another table and delete all adjacent duplicates .
DELETE ADJACENT DUPLICATES FROM it_emp COMPARING salary .
   READ TABLE IT_EMP INTO WA_EMP INDEX 3.
MOVE WA_EMP-SALARY TO W_SALARY .
now the third highest salary will come into w_salary .
and now again process your internal table and retrieve whose salary is equal to w_salary ...
thanks

Unable to pull data from 2 tables of a database linked to a 2nd database

I have a Crystal V7 Report I'm upgrading to Crystal 10 or 11. It uses the following formula that works (data is in ONE MS Access database containing all three tables):
If {PayrollCalc.qSource}=0 then {AuthorizedWithholding.qDesc
else If {PayrollCalc.qSource}=1 or {PayrollCalc.qSource}= 2 then {UnionBenefitDetail.qUBDesc}
else
If {PayrollCalc.qSource}=4 then "Extra Tax" + {PayrollCalc.qID} else
If {PayrollCalc.qSource}=5 then "Payroll Insurance" else
If {PayrollCalc.qSource}=6 then {PayrollCalc.qID} else
Mid ({PayrollCalc.qID},2 )
The upgraded application software uses TWO SQL 2005 Express databases, replacing the one Access database. PayrollCalc is a table in database A while UnionBenefitDetail & AuthorizedWithholding are tables in database B. The links are left outer joined from PayrollCalc table to each of the others (I've tried all the enforcement options) but the formula no longer works. If I remark out the part of the formula from one or the other of the "extra" tables, then the one still active works great but I can't get both to work in the same subreport. There's no error, I just get a blank returned for the formula. I'm not familiar with using the Add Command so I haven't tried that. Can anyone help me?

I confirmed that the join fields are identical:
PRCalc Table - qConNo=int (32 bit), length 4
PRCalc Table - qID=varchar (byte), length 10
PRCalc Table - qSeg=int (32 bit), length 4
UnionBenefit Table - qUBID=varchar (byte), length 10
UnionBenefit Table - qUBSeg=int (32 bit), length 4
Both of these UnionBenefit fields are left outer joined FROM the PRCalc Table's qID & qSeg fields
Authorized Withholding - qConNo=int (32 bit), length 4
Authorized Withholding - qSeg=int (32 bit), length 4
These two fields are left outer joined FROM PRCalc's qConNo & qSeg fields.
The qDesc & qUBDesc fields that I'm trying to print in the same subreport using the formula that's not working are both varchar (bye), length 50 fields.
I have tried various other joins unsuccessfully. I'm convinced that the left outer join is the correct one to use since neither of the tables from Database B will always have records that match up with those in Database A (PayrollCalc's database). So yes, it appears that the left outer join does not work properly across two databases when more than one table in the 2nd database is used. It works fine if I just use one table from database B & do a separate subreport for the other table.

Hi,
check whether is it populating when u call
Function Module - PYX X_READ_PAYROLL_RESULT .
If not Use this Marcro.
RP-IMP-C2-IN.
Call this macro and check EPF[ ].This marco will populate both RT and EPF.
Check transaction - PC00_M40_ EPF

I need to pull data from a keyboard attached bar code reader, labview basic verison 8

Does anyone know how to pull the data sent by a keyboard attached bar code scanner using labview basic, version 8? I tried using the aquire input data function, however the data that it gives doesn't seem correct, and it also only seems to give one value out of the whole bar code. Any suggestions?
Thanks
Mike

You don't need anything more than a string control. A bar code scanner when used as a keyboard wedge, acts just like when you type something into the control with the keyboard. Make sure that the string control has focus and scan something.

Footer needs to pull data from main table
