once view my query :
select t.branch_cd,b.branch_e_name,t.vndr#,v.vndr_name,
sum(nvl(t.sales_actl_amt,0)) sales_actl_amt
from inv_sales_trgt_val t,branches b,vendor v where
t.branch_cd=b.branch_cd and
t.vndr#=v.vndr# and
(t.yymm between :fiscal_month and :fiscal_month2) and
(:fiscal_month<>trunc(:fiscal_month2,-2)) and :fiscal_month2<>trunc(:fiscal_month2,-2)) and t.branch_cd between :from_branch and to_branch and
t.vndr# between :from_vndr and :to_vndr
group by t.vndr#,v.vndr_name,t.branch_cd,b.branch_e_name
order by t.vndr#,t.branch_cd;
how can i get last year sales_actl_amt .

To get last year Net Value by fiscal period

Dear experts,
Since yesterday am trying to get solution where still unable to succeed.The report requirement is that they need Planned sales and actual sales qty of current fiscal year/period wise and in first column to get last year Actual sales for same period.(Ex:009.2006 to 011.2006 is input and in first coloumn 009.2005 to 011.2005)
This is the situation:
I have kept restricted W2 for fiscal year varient in filter and have created quantity sales(for last year) RKF with variable as "From fiscal year/period-13 and To Fiscal year/period-1"(with offset) and have placed in Key Figure structure in column section.Above this Structure have kept Fiscal year/period info object with variable "From Fiscal Year/period to To Fiscal year/period.This is because i need period wise breakup.
I understand that above we have "From Fiscal year/period infoobject" and below that in key figure structure u have the above quoted key figure with quantity sales of previous year.I want period wise it has to show me last year(period wise) quantity with current year Planned aty and sales Qty
Have gone through all threads and now it feels that i should to for variable exit ?...Do i have any option apart from variable exit?...If so could anybody can provide code for the same...Kindly gimme solution.
Maximum points will be awarded..
Thanks and Rgds

Hi,
I hope, you are entering values 009.2006 to 011.2006 for the variable "From Fiscal Year/period to To Fiscal year/period". Am I right?
If so, Donot restrict the fiscal year period with "From Fiscal Year/period to To Fiscal year/period like as you mentioned:--
<i>Above this Structure have kept Fiscal year/period info object with variable "From Fiscal Year/period to To Fiscal year/period.This is because i need period wise breakup.</i>
To get the break up Priod wise, taking Fiscal year period characterstics above the structure is sufficient with ou any restriction.
Under the characterstic fiscal year period take two KF (same kf called SALES QTY two times with different heading like " last year Actual sales" and "current year Actual sales ") . First KF will be restricted with customer exit varible on Fiscal year period characterstic. Second KF will be restricted with user entry varible on Fiscal year period characterstic.
In case if you enter the value 009.2006 to 011.2006 as the iput to user entry varible, the code should generate the value 009.2005 to 011.2005 to Customer exit varible.

How to get all the column values from a table source

Hi,
I have created one table source on a employee table and some customized attributes using global settings>search attributes.
Now these customized attributes mapped with the table columns through attribute mapping from the sorce tab.
Using doOracleSearch method i passed last parameter i.e. Integer array of customized attributes.
After execution of doOracleSearch method i am getting the results but customized attributes are not coming.
getCustomAttributes method returns null instead of some values.
Please refer following code for more info:
Integer[] fetchAttr=new Integer[2];
fetchAttr[0]=new Integer(137);
fetchAttr[1]=new Integer(138);
result =
stub.doOracleSearch("BTM",
new Integer(1),
new Integer(10),
Boolean.TRUE,
Boolean.TRUE,
group,
"en",
"en",
Boolean.TRUE,
null,
null,
fetchAttr);
ResultElement[] resElements = result.getResultElements();
for(int i = 0; i < resElements.length; i++)
System.out.println("Title : " + resElements[0].getTitle());
System.out.println("Snippet : " + resElements[0].getSnippet());
System.out.println("URL : " + resElements[0].getUrl());
System.out.println("non default : " + resElements[0].getCustomAttributes()); // it returns null here
}

Confirm the attributes you are asking SES for match those on the data source being searched. One thing to try is to simply tell SES to return all custom attributes for your search. Here is a snippet to build a list of all attribute IDs and pass them to your search...
// Create and set SOAP URL
OracleSearchService searchService = new OracleSearchService();
searchService.setSoapURL("http://myserver:7777/search/query/OracleSearch");
// Set attributes to fetch (all)
Attribute[] attributesAll = searchService.getAllAttributes("en");
ArrayList<Integer> attributeIds = new ArrayList<Integer>();
for(Attribute a: attributesAll)
attributeIds.add(a.getId());
Integer attributeIdArrayAll[] = new Integer[attributeIds.size()];
attributeIdArrayAll = attributeIds.toArray(attributeIdArrayAll);
// Query
OracleSearchResult result = searchService.doOracleSearch("some text", ..........[other params], attributeIdArrayAll);
// Print out results
ResultElement[] resElements = result.getResultElements();
for(int i = 0; i < resElements.length; i++)
// Get document
ResultElement doc = resElements;
// Print Title
System.out.println("Title: " + doc.getTitle());
// Print custom attributes
CustomAttribute[] attributes = doc.getCustomAttributes();
for(int j = 0; j < attributes.length; j++)
CustomAttribute attr = attributes[j];
System.out.println("[Custom Attribute] " + attr.getName() + ": " + attr.getValue());
Hope this helps.

Join to get 'Note' Column value from CS_SR_NOTES_V - Ramya

Hi All,
what is the join to get the 'NOTE' column value from the CS_SR_NOTES_V while joining to the cs_incidents_all _b table.
One join is joining with the INCIDENT_ID of CS_INCIDENTS_ALL_B
to the INCIDENT_ID of the CS_SR_NOTES_V....but the other column 'ID' of
CS_SR_NOTES_V is to join to which column of CS_INCIDENTS_ALL_B ??????

APP_OBJ_CODE='SR'
ID IS JTF_NOTE_ID
APP_OBJ_ID IS same AS incident_id
I don't think you need additional join apart from incident_id since view CS_SR_NOTES_V retrieves only SR notes, and an SR can have multiple notes.

How Can I get multi column values from dynamic search help?

Hi Gurus;
I'm using dynamic search help in my program.
I want to get multi column values from search help. But I dont know solution for this issue.
I'm using F4IF_INT_TABLE_VALUE_REQUEST FM.
How Can I get multi column values from dynamic search help?
Thanks.

Believe it or not, the same FM worked for me in a dynpro. I will try to explain here how it works in custom screen and then you can do your work for other screens or program types. I am not going to write my actual work but will explain in general.
I have 4 fields (FLD1, FLD2, FLD3, FLD4) and i made the search based on FLD2 and when user click on a line (could be any field), then this would bring the line on to the screens.
There are like 3 steps.
You have your value_tab for my fields FLD1, FLD2, FLD3 and FLD4. This is just the data that we pass into the FM. (data: IT_VALTAB type table of ZVAL_TABLE)
Next map the screen fields into an internal table (data: It_dynpfld type table of dselc ). I also have other internal tables defined (just to keep it straight, i will be putting here) data: It_return type standard table of ddshretval.
Next step is to call the function module. Make sure you have values in IT_VALTAB.
call function 'F4IF_INT_TABLE_VALUE_REQUEST'
exporting
        retfield        = 'FLD2'
        value_org       = 'S'
      tables
        value_tab       = It_VALTAB
        return_tab      = It_return
        dynpfld_mapping = It_dynpfld
      exceptions
        parameter_error = 1
        no_values_found = 2
        others          = 3.
    if sy-subrc <> 0.
      message id sy-msgid type sy-msgty number sy-msgno
      with sy-msgv1 sy-msgv2 sy-msgv3 sy-msgv4.
    else.
      perform get_selected_fields tables It_return.
    endif.
The code within the perform GET_SELECTED_FIELDS - We need to map the result fields after user selects it. The code goes like this. This is step is to update the dynpro fields.
I need a internal table as well as a work area here. like,
data: lt_fields type table of dynpread,
        la_fields type dynpread.
field-symbols: <fs_return> type ddshretval.
so fill out LT_FIELDS from the IT_RETURN table
loop at lt_return assigning <fs_return>.
    la_fields-fieldname = <fs_return>-retfield.
    la_fields-fieldvalue = <fs_return>-fieldval.
    append la_fields to lt_fields.
    clear: la_fields.
endloop.
Call the FM to update the dynpro
call function 'DYNP_VALUES_UPDATE'
    exporting
      dyname               = sy-repid
      dynumb               = '1002' "This is my screen number. You could use 1000 for selection screen (hope so)
    tables
      dynpfields           = lt_fields
    exceptions
      invalid_abapworkarea = 1
      invalid_dynprofield = 2
      invalid_dynproname   = 3
      invalid_dynpronummer = 4
      invalid_request      = 5
      no_fielddescription = 6
      undefind_error       = 7
      others               = 8.
if sy-subrc <> 0.
    message id sy-msgid type sy-msgty number sy-msgno
            with sy-msgv1 sy-msgv2 sy-msgv3 sy-msgv4.

How to get 2 return values from a single SelectInputText?

Hi,
I am using the std Search form,
The table I am using has fields like ID,Name,Status, and a few more
I use a SelectInputText(pop up the ID and Name list) and populate the result back on the Search page
What I am looking for is to have another output-text box on the search page which will show the Name corresponding the above selected ID.
Can I have more than 1 returnActionListener for the SelectInputText to return more than one value??
OR should I use something else?
Regards,
Zoheb

But Frank, the SelectInputText automatically displays the returnEvent.getReturnValue() and I can't do anything about it. My ReturnListener method parses values from the hash table and assigns them to multiple fields on the screen. But the SelectInputText overwrites the value that I assign and displays the entire hashmap as the value of that field. The actual value displayed in the SelectInputText item ends up looking like this:
{KEY1=Key1Value, KEY2=Key2Value}
My ReturnListener method assigns the value Key2Value to field #2 (which is an InputText, not a SelectInputText) and it displays correctly.
My ReturnListener method assigns the value Key1Value to field #1 (which is the SelectInputText that launched the dialog) but instead of displaying Key1Value in the field, the page displays the entire hashmap in that field.
How can I force the SelectInputText to display "Key1Value" instead of "{KEY1=Key1Value, KEY2=Key2Value}"?

How to retrieve a column field value from an ADF table ?

All,
I have a backing bean where I have bounded a field of an ADF table.
I would like, in the bean, to read the value of that field so that I can use it inside a task flow router.
The question: how to read a value from a ADF table column field ?
In the bean I have the getter and setter of the RichInputText ADF table field. But when I type:
System.out.println("the name is: " + this.getName().getValue());
or
System.out.println("the name is: " + this.Name().getValue());
I get a null pointer exception.
Thanks in advance,
Sergio.

Thanks Marvin, but this is not really what I'm looking for. Or at least, it does not sounds like to be :)
I need to get the value contained in a row cell of an ADF table.
Let's say the table (two rows, three cells) contains these values:
"table_A", "123", "John"
"table_B", "456", "Peter"
When I click on the first row, I need the value: "table_A". Once I got that value, I extract the last char, in this case: "A", and then I call a specific task flow from a task flow router (specified in the task flow router Cases property).
When I click on the second row, the same process applies, only the router now points to another flow view.
So to summarize, I need to get the value of a row cell in an ADF table. How to do that from within a javaBean in JDeveloper 11g Release 2 ?
This is what I have in the bean; so far I've bounded the related row cell (herkunft) to the bean. Each time I select a row on the ADF table, the function setHerkunft() runs - I see that from within the JDeveloper console - but when I try to get its value, I get a null value - hence the surrounding if statement.
package bean;
import javax.faces.component.UIComponent;
import javax.faces.context.FacesContext;
import javax.faces.event.ValueChangeEvent;
import oracle.adf.view.rich.component.rich.input.RichInputText;
+public class taskFlowBean {+
public RichInputText herkunft;
public static String taskFlowView = "C";
+public taskFlowBean() {+
System.out.println("taskFlowBean constructor call");
+}+
+public void setHerkunft(RichInputText herkunft) {+
System.out.println("set herkunft");
this.herkunft = herkunft;
if (this.getHerkunft().getValue() != null )
System.out.println("herkunft is: " + this.getHerkunft().getValue());
+//here taskFlowView will set accordingly with the herkunft value.+
+}+
+public RichInputText getHerkunft() {+
System.out.println("get herkunft");
return herkunft;
+}+
+public String getTaskFlowView() {+
System.out.println("get taskFlowView ! : " this.taskFlowView);+
return this.taskFlowView;
+}+
+}+

Getting last year sale , this year sale and getting there percentage

Hi,
I am using three query in my report
first query : to get this year actual sales

How to get Last Year Sales and YTD Sales without using AGO and TODATE?

Hi all,
I have got Company and Time dimensions and Sales Fact. My requirement is to get Last Year sales for each company without using AGO function and YTD without using TODATE function. (Due to performance issue as AGO and TODATE do not insert a Cache entry).
Can someone please help me to achieve my requirement? Thanks in advance.

Hi Satya,
Thanks again for your reply. To start with I don't have data for the years 2012 and 2011 to test as I am using SH sample schema from Oracle. I have applied your solution but it does not seem to be working for the previous years like 2000, 2001. My requirement is to have a dashboard prompt "YEAR" and let the user choose whatever year he wants.
Please have a look at the column formulas of my analysis (As per your solution) :

AmountYTD: FILTER("F1 Sales"."Amount" USING "D1 Time"."CALENDAR_YEAR" =YEAR(CURRENT_DATE))
Amount LY: FILTER("F1 Sales"."Amount" USING "D1 Time"."CALENDAR_YEAR" =YEAR(CURRENT_DATE)-1)and the physical query generated by BI Server: (as you can see I have got a filter CALENDAR_YEAR= 2000)

Using Fiscal/Year Period to get last year all months data

Hi,
Had a requirement to get Last Years 1-12 months data based on Fiscal/Year Period. So here i am using Fiscal/Year period as my input. Please let me know with code.
Regards,
Vishnu

Hi ,
Where you want to write code ?
Well the basic logic will be like :
TYPES: BEGIN OF ty_range,
sign TYPE c LENGTH 1,
option TYPE c LENGTH 2,
low TYPE c LENGTH 8,
high TYPE c LENGTH 8,
END OF ty_range.
DATA : t_range TYPE TABLE OF ty_range,
w_range LIKE LINE OF t_range.
DATA :v_lastyear type c length 4 .
v_lastyear = sy-datum(4) - 1 .
w_range-sign = 'I'.
w_range-option = 'EQ'.
concatenate v_lastyear '001' t into w_range-low.
concatenate v_lastyear '012' t into w_range-high.
APPEND w_range TO t_range.
****it will select data from source package for last one year .Internally year and period store like YYYYPPP (2011001)
select SOURCE_PACKAGE WHERE 0fiscper IN t_range.
you can modify selection statement as per your requirement .
hope this will be helpful .

What is odiref. function to fetch column value from data store

Hi
Please Provide ODI Ref Function to fetch the column value from source/target data store
for ex: i want to fetch deptno from dept table by using odiref function.
Thanks
Cnu

Hi Cnu,
There are no odiRef functions to get data from source/target tables. Rather you can generate such query using odiRef functions and then use such query in the source command text. The retrieved data columns can then be used int eh target side command. You can find more details t Introduction to the Substitution API - 11g Release 1 (11.1.1)

How to refer a column value of a single row in conditional column display?

Hello,
does anybody have an idea, how i can refer a column value of a single row in conditional display of a column?
So my idea is, that a report has a column, which value is only displayed, when another column value of this row has a specific value.
I want to solve this problem with condition type: PL/SQL Function Body returning a boolean.
But I do not know how to refer the column value of each single row!
Thank you,

Here's a solution that, to me, seems easier to implement but, that's, of course, in the eye of the implementer.
Rather than using APEX to generate a link column for you, actually create the link as part of your SQL.
select '<a href="f?p=102:3:491847682940364::::P3_CONTACT_ID:' || CONTACT_ID || "><img src="/i/themes/theme_1/ed-item.gif" alt="Edit"></a>' CONTACT_LINK, ...
etc.
Test this out. You'll see that it works just like making a column a link using the column attributes.
Next, we'll change the SQL to use a DECODE statement to either display the link or nothing depending on what your criteria is. For example, let's assume you only want a link for active contacts.
select Decode( CONTACT_STATUS, 'A', '<a href="f?p=102:3:491847682940364::::P3_CONTACT_ID:' || CONTACT_ID || "><img src="/i/themes/theme_1/ed-item.gif" alt="Edit"></a>', NULL ) CONTACT_LINK, ...
etc.
This will not display the link in any rows in which the CONTACT_STATUS is not active, i.e. "A"
