Getting OS File Record Count

Hi,
I've been looking for ways to get the record count(number of lines) of a txt file from a OS using a Oracle procedure without having to loop into the file line by line as on UTL_FILE.GET_LINE proc. If anyone has a one way method to get the number of lines of a OS file thru PLSQL without using loops, please let me know.
I appreciate your inputs on this matter.

How to get a total record count before grouping?

I need to group a report on a formula that does roughly the following:
[record count] / ( [total record count] / 20 )
What this acheives is to label each record with a number of 1 - 20 which I want to group on. Getting this figure is the easy part, what is not working is the fact that I cannot group from a formula that is calculated after grouping. I overcame a portion of this by using "Whilereadingrecords" (rather than "count", running totals, or while printing records) to acheive a record count.
I can't figure out how to get a total record count done before grouping. Is there a way to do this with "WhileReadingRecords"?? Is this even possible?
Thanks
John

Hi John,
The order of how Crystal does things dictates the order of which features you can use. Crystal has a two pass method. In the first pass it does things like passing the query, grouping, summarizing. In the second pass it does formulas, formatting, etc.
Unfortunately Crystal does the Grouping before summarizing so what you want to do can't be done in Crystal. The best way to get around this to either create a SQL Command or view/stored procedure that will do the summarizing for you. Then in the report you can use it.
Hope this helps,
Brian

Hi
You can design a flow for Full load flow and incremental flow from flat file to Table.
Create a table at target database like.. (create table with last_execution and palce the V_FULL_LOAD value and LAST_EXECUTION_DT columns in last_execution table)
Add faltfile as table in model, create a variable as V_FULL_LOAD and make sure that the default values is 01-01-1900
Create one more variable like V_LAST_EXECUTION_DATE (in this variable write a case statement that if V_FULL_LOAD value is 'Y" then full load should happen and same time you should check that V_FULL_LOAD column is balnk then write insert statment else write update statement to update last_execution_dt column, similar for 'N')
please provide your *personal mail ID*, i will send a doc file realted to your query.
we have to tables present in work repository (SNP_STEP and STEP_LOG tables) using tables we can get how many records are inserted/updated and we can find how many records are not transfer and gor error.
Thanks

Problem in getting correct update records count while getUpdateCount()

hi,
I have used "Select in Insert" queries for migrating data from one table to another.
like
INSERT INTO TABLE1 (COL1, COL2)
SELECT COL1,COL2,... FROM TABLE2
WHERE COL1 = ... AND COL2 = ...;
Case 1:
I added these statements as addBatch() & at the end i execute method " executeBatch()".
Then i execute
getUpdateCount() method
on that prepareStatement ,but that count was not correct all the time.
Case 2:
If i run the same code with executeUpdate() method , it returned me the correct number of records counts that are inserted into the table.
I cudn't able to understand that it is failing for case1.
Can anybody tell the reason for this behaviour .......................

How to get the total record count for the report

Hi,
How can I get count of the total records shown in the report. When we set the report attributes, we have an option "Set Pagination from X to Y of Z"
Does anyone know how can I get the Z value from APEX variables.
I know we can use that query and get the count but I just want to know how we can use APEX Variables effectively.
Thanks in advance.

You write a loop, something like this:
Go_block('B1');
If not form_success then
Raise Form_Trigger_failure;
End if;
First_Record;
If not form_success then
Raise Form_Trigger_failure;
End if;
Loop
If :system.record_status in('CHANGED','INSERT') then
-- modify the record here--
End if;
Exit when :System.Last_Record = 'TRUE';
Next_Record;
End Loop;
First_Record;But be very careful-- If your block can fetch a large number of rows, (over 100), this loop can take a long time, and you should not use this method. The loop will continue fetching more rows from the database until all rows satisfying the query are retrieved.

To get (n-1) record count

Hello,
I've two levels of group fields in my report. I count total no of records at both levels. But what we really need is at level two is (total records - 1) i.e, (n-1) records to be displayed.
How do I get this count?
Thanks in advance and I appreciate your time.
Arun.

You can create a summary column Countrec, with a count function. Then create a formula column CF_1:
function CF_1Formula return Number is
begin
return :Countrec - 1;
end;Instead of displaying Countrec, you display CF_1.

Records count in Receiver File Adapter

Hi All,
I have a scenario IODC to File. The requirement is to get the total record count in the Trailer record of the Target File .Please help.
Regards,

Hello,
The requirement is to get the total record count in the Trailer record of the Target File
In your XML, decide which IDOC field you get your records from and then do a similar mapping
IDOC field -> removeContext -> count -> TrailerRecordfield
Hope this helps,

Get estimated record count

for pagination, we want to show the total pages. the way is to get the total count,then divided by the record number per page. The problem is its too expensive to get the total count.
In pl/sql, we can get the estimated record count with
select * from table(dbms_xplan.display_cursor(null,null,'ALLSTATS LAST')); but my question is how to get this number from application code, like java or php.
Thanks,

Hi,
Though what you're trying to do can be achieved in three steps *(i)* importing of java.io.* and java.sql.* packages *(ii)* establishment of a connection using JDBC driver, and *(iii)* query execution, it would NOT be constructive for the fact that a SELECT statement (as stated in the above reply) will always be a part of the query sentence for the following reasons:
(a) When objects are executed in Java, the first statement that is compiled is a SQL statement.
(b) Parameters cannot be defined in SQL strings.
Hence, as per my understanding, you can either stick to the existing approach or modify it as per the defined standards and not customized ones.

Generate target/out file with header record as Record Count ?

Hi Kareem, Please try the below approach. Pipeline 1: Load actual data(without header with record count) from source to target. Let say your file name is intermediate1.dat Pipeline 2: Take the target from pipeline 1 as source and create the header with count of source file using an aggregator. The filename of target for pipeline 2 will be your final file(header and detail data). Pipeline 3: Take the target of pipeline 1 again and do 1-to-1 load to the target file of second pipeline. In session properties, dont forget to tick the check box append if exists for the third pipeline target. There may be other simple approaches also. If you have no time in hand try the above approach. Let me know if you find any issues. Thanks,Deeshan.

How to display a record count in a text field?

Hi Dan,
Thank you for your reply and yes I was able to select "Source Type" and "SQL Query". The SQL expression I used was:
SELECT COUNT(ID) FROM master_table;
This worked great to count the total number of records from the master_table. However what I am trying to do is to get a record count each time I complete a search from my search page. I have input fields on this page and a GO button which executes the query. The SQL query is location in one place under Regions/Display Point. My display field on my search page is named P16_COUNT2 and I was trying to make this work inside the main query code. I tryed something like this, COUNT(ID) INTO :P16_COUNT2, to pass the record count each time I execute the GO botton to P16_COUNT2 field. This I could not get to work. Any ideas how to proceed?

File Adapter - how to get the file count from a folder

Hi All,
I have a requirement that have to poll a directory when the file count is reached to number N (ex:number of files avilable in folder is 5) otherwise it should wait and not pick any of the files. Is it possible to get the file count from a folder using file adapter ?? otherwise please suggest me an approach to achieve this requirement.
Thanks,
JJ

Hi Sarath,
Thank you for your reply.
Go with the list files operation of file adapter it will gives you the number of files in the specified folder as you given. . - this step is already done.
When the number of files reaches your count startup your webservice that which can polls the files. . . - how can i acheive this?? Have to poll the directory and process the number files - please let me know, what could be added to the webservice which is being invoked after cheking file count from parent process.
The reason for the above question is - we cannot use ReadFile operation in second webservice because it will be automatically triggered when the file is avilable. Also SyncRead operation supports reading one file in b/w bpel process. Kindly explain me the implementation steps.
Thanks,
JJ

How do I get the codec for .mov files recorded on an ipad, so I can edit them in premiere El. 12?

I have .mov files recorded from an ipad with these specs:
AAC, Mono, 44.100 KHZ
H.264 320x568 (yes the ipad was used vertically, not horizontally)
29.96 fps
I want to edit them in premiere 12, but get this error message:
This type of file is not supported or the required codec is not installed.
What are my options? Thanks!

linn749
Thanks for the reply.
As for orientation, there is a rotation feature in Premiere Elements 12....at the Timeline level, you can right click the clip and select Rotate 90 Left or Rotate 90 Right. So that may help.
This is what you may want to try and see what this looks like
1. Open Premiere Elements 12 to its Expert workspace
2. Go to File Menu/New/Project and Change Settings
3. In the Change Settings dialog, change the project preset to NTSC DV Widescreen.
4. Before you exit that area, in the last dialog that you see (new project dialog), make sure you have a check mark next to "Force Selected Project Setting on this Project".
5. Back in the Expert workspace, use Add Media/Files and Folders/ to bring your video into Project Assets from where you will drag it to Video Track 1. We can talk about edits if necessary.
6. Publish+Share/Disc/DVD disc with preset set for NTSC_Widescreen_Dolby DVD.
7. Place your DVD 4.7 GB/120 min disc in the burner, in the burn dialog, have a check mark next to "Fit Content to Available Space". Hit Burn.
If you decide to take the Timeline to YouTube instead,
Publish+Share/Social Websites/YouTube, using Presets = Flash Video for YouTube (Widescreen)
Hit Next and follow the instructions.
(Upload to YouTube from within Premiere Elements 12 has limits of 2 GB and 15 minutes. Anything exceeding that, you need to export to file saved to the computer hard drive and then upload that file to YouTube at the YouTube web site where you might be able to get extended limits.
Please let us know if you are OK with the above information.
Thanks.
ATR
Add On...If you want to "decorate" the black borders in the Timeline content, drag the video to Video Track 2 and put a colored background on Video Track 1 directly below the Video Track 2 content.

How to get the FILE COUNT from File directory

Hello,
i have to develop a scenario like, get the file count from source file directory and validate whether the file count is 5 or not. if 5 files exist i need to process those 5 files to DB tables. if file count is not equal to 5 then i need to send a mail to customer that files are missed at source directory. (subject as files were missed at source directory and in content i need to display the file names exist at source file directory. So that missed file will be generated by the customer based on this mail).
Could you please let me know how to get the count of files from source file directory. if it is possible only with UDF please provide the Java code
Best Regards,
SARAN

Do these files have some fixed names?
Can you try to use the option Advanced Selection For Source File to make XI pick all 5 files in one shot?
Check this blog on the same -

If this is not a option - BPM sounds the only possible way.

I need to update specific records(of variable lengths) in a file. I can get the correct record but when I update it(add info), it overwrites part of the record following it. I am using labview 6.0

I need to update specific records(of variable lengths) in a file. I can get the correct record but when I update it(add or change info), it overwrites part of the record following it. I am using labview 6.0. I need to be able to insert information into the middle of a file without disturbing the data before and after

It's hard to give more specifics without more detail, but in general you're going to need to read in the entire file, split it into three pieces (everything before the record of interest, the record itself, and everything after the record of interest), modify the record, reassemble the three pieces in proper order, and write the whole thing back to the file.Of course if the file is very large you might not want to actually implement it this way, but conceptually at least, this is what you are looking at.If this file some sort of proprietary format?Mike...PS: this type of issue is why I really like databases...
