HANA Changing the type of a column

Hi All,
Can we change the data type of a column using any function in HANA using a calculated column...
There is a function called Date() which changes a date type of a field which is loaded from SLT into HANA(The fields loaded from SLT are by default given type as Nvarchar), but this function does not change the type of the field.
Is there a way to change the type of a field.
Thanks,
Sneha

Hi Sneha,
I have not explored the SAP LT to that extent.
But for your query, I think it will not touch the already replicated data. It might not even allow to apply the type transformation as tables already have data. You might have to restart the replication for tables having date. But really not sure on this. There is a separate community totally for SAP LT in SCN. You can raise this query here http://scn.sap.com/community/replication-server.
In our scenario we are keeping the date fields as NVARCHAR(8) and left it to that. In case of any calculations based on dates, we have used time functions and/or Time Attribute Views in HANA. If you want to go for a similar logic, I might be able to help further.

  • The type of this column cannot be changed because it is currently being indexed

    Hi,
    We have a custom library with some columns defined. This library we have saved as a template and then trying to create a library using the template. When we try creating the new library using the template we get the following error:
    The type of this column cannot be changed because it is currently being indexed.
    We are not trying to change any column type just creating a new library using the template. The existing library does have a couple of indexes specified. Removing a index that is applied on a column of choice data type (drop down selection) seems to work.
    However, would like to know why this is an issue with the index?
    Although this is perfectly supported. Checked, this does not happen when I try with a new library with a choice data type and index applied on that library, it creates the template and then a new library correctly. So, what's going wrong with my earlier
    library?

    Hi Croute,
    I had checked that thread earlier and tried the Managed Metadata Service Application solution. However does not help in my case. I still get the error.
    Also, just to cross-check we created a new library from scratch and added choice column and applied index on this column. Saved this as template and created a new library using this template. It works fine without the error. So not sure what is wrong with
    the earlier library and list template that gives the error
    The type of this column cannot be changed because it is currently being indexed.
    Also, note even after giving this error the library is created with all the columns and indexes. But we need to provide a reason for the error above.

  • Is there a way to change the type of hash for passwords in active direcroty?

    I would like to know what type of hash used for active directory passwords and if there is a way to change the type of hash.

    Hi,
    Windows generates and stores user account passwords by using two different password representations, generally known as "hashes." When you set or change the password for a user account to a password that contains fewer than 15 characters, Windows generates
    both a LAN Manager hash (LM hash) and a Windows NT hash (NT hash) of the password.
    You can configure the type to only store the stronger NT hash of your password.

  • Error value = 73, How to change the type of password?

    I want to use the famous wiki integrated in leopard, so I had to configure open directory and DNS.
    Well my problem come from that I can't configure open Directory, just after creating a new admin, I have no possiblity to change the type of password, there is just the type shadow, and I know that we had to choose open directory's type.
    Obviously, I'm authenticated in the workgroup manager
    Which services I had to turn on to use open directory's type?
    Or which mac I have to hit.
    THX

    Hi
    So I had to configure open directory and DNS
    What did you do or not do exactly?
    My problem come from that I can't configure open Directory
    You won't be able to configure Open Directory to allow different password types unless you either bind your Server to an existing KDC or make your Server the KDC. For the Server to be a KDC (Kerberos Distribution Center) it has to be an Open Directory Master. Successful promotion to an Open Directory Master Role absolutely depends on a correctly configured and running DNS Service - either on the server itself or on another server on the same network.
    There are plenty of posts in these forums outlining how to configure your Server in terms of DNS as well as how to promote to Open Directory Master. Apple themselves make available Admin Manuals that should assist:
    http://images.apple.com/server/macosx/docs/OpenDirectory_Adminv10.5.pdf
    http://images.apple.com/server/macosx/docs/NetworkServices_Adminv10.5.pdf
    Failing this these forums (as already mentioned) as well as:

  • I want to change the type of a Result Set

    Hello all,
    I was using a ResultSet object to store the results of a query, and when i attempted to use the ResultSet function "last()", i had a SQL exception saying that I cannot use this function on a ResultSet of type TYPE_FORWARD_ONLY. How can I change the type of a ResultSet to be for example TYPE_SCROLL_SENSITIVE, so that i can use the 'last()' function? I can only find a function caleed getType() but i want a function to allow me to set the type of the ResultSet.....
    Thanks a lot

    The type is determined when you create the Statement or PreparedStatement object. See the documention for Connection.createStatement or Connection.prepareStatement.

  • Is there any way to change the type of Transport like workbench to Customiz

    Hi All,
    Here we are having very silly question.
    Is there any way to change the type of Transport like from
    Workbench to Customize and from Customize to Workbench within the same client.
    Assume that there the no object associated with the transport.
    Your quick respose is highly appreciated...
    Thanks in Advance!

    No this cannot be done.
    Both work bench and custimizing are separate entites when it comes to tranport layers config.
    You cannot save a report change into customizing request this will be saved into work bench request only .
    In the same way table entries or some customizing tasks can be captured only into custimizing tr.

  • Can't change the type of media from Home videos to TV Shows.

    My aim is to organize videos into folders, so I followed the well known workaround to change the type of videos to 'TV Show' and group them by name of the 'show'. After changing the type, videos are moved to 'TV Shows', but when I try to play them on iPad, the player shows up for a fraction of second and closes (the "downloading" icon appears, of course running endlessly, since the files are mine, not downloaded). After that, when I try to play the video in iTunes, the exclamation mark appears, and the only thing I can do with the video is delete it...
    I have, in fact, succeeded in this conversion with one of the files, but only once. After deleting it and trying once again, the same problem appeared. Is this a software bug, or a new feature in iOS 8.1 and the only thing I can do to get my videos organized is rely on third party apps?

    OK, the problem is solved. I've beed uploading the videos directly to iPad ("On My Device" section) and then trying to change the type to TV Show, while I should first import them into iTunes library, then change the type, and finally sync.

  • Dynamically change the type of a field

    Hello,
    After finishing reading the adobe documentation and looking at almost all the samples in the Adobe website, i still have no clues how to do the dynamic type changing in the E-Forms.
    Do you think it's possible to change dynamically the type of a field at runtime or during the generation of the pdf?
    Example:
    i send a table to the PDF with the following information:
    Table X line 1 column1 --> textfield type
    Table X line 2 column1 --> Numeric field type
    The result must be the generation of the table X with at the first line a text field and at the second line a Numeric. Of course those field will be editable.
    Possible ?? or not?
    Thx for your help,
    Pelaez Lopez Philippe

    Let me guess, you would like to work with Adobe as you would work with WD. You cannot generate forms from scratch. And that is equal to create a single field, than dynamically duplicate it, distribute it all around the paper and change the types to the right ones. This is not possible. You can only create a superbig form and use hiding.
    If you would like to see a super-big-crazy example, check form MEDRUCK delivered by SAP. This form is superbig, but your output can contain only few fields according to the print type you need.
    If you form is that complicated you cannot build it this way, then the requirement is probably not structured and goes against the meain stream (which needs the structure:))

  • I need to change the sum of a column's total with javascript.

    Hi,
    The HTML output of a SUM column is as follows:
    <td align="center" headers="COST" class="t2data"><b> 827.49</b></td>
    I need to change the sum total with javascript.
    The initial loading of the page SUMs the DB values correctly. Then onchange JS for a couple of factors may change one items COST.
    When that one item's COST changes I need to reSUM the total with JS.
    I was trying the following.. I don't know JS to well.
         var tds = document.getElementsByTagName('td');
         for (var xtd in tds) {
         //alert('Here:'+xtd.headers);
         if (xtd.headers=="COST") {
         // you found the element, do what you need
         alert(xtd.innerHTML);
         After inserting the above code into my javascript is popups up
         my alert, "Here:undefined"
         and never hits the alert(xtd.innerHTML);

    Hi Ya'll,
    I got the following working. See any problems?
    headers=="COST" actually showed up in each row of the whole column, including the SUM. So it ended up being great so I could sum it in the JS.
    I had to change the column type to NUMBER from VARCHAR2 for the initial SUM to work, so adding any formating to the SQL was not good. It looks pretty much what Andy has though... I found a slight hesitation it it though.. I have to work out a bug that prints the old total instead of the first.
    var ltotal =0;
    var tds = document.getElementsByTagName('td');
    for (var k=0; k<tds.length; k++) {
    if (tds[k].headers=="COST") {
    var inputObjs= tds[k].getElementsByTagName('input');
    if(inputObjs.length>0) {
    for (var j=0;j<inputObjs.length;j++) {
    ltotal+= parseFloat(inputObjs[j].value);
    //alert(inputObjs[j].value);
    //alert(ltotal);
    }else{
    tds[k].innerHTML=ltotal;

    I have in the table control a table. This table show varoius columns , but one column shows numbers. My boss detected that there are showed the numbres but without decimals . for example 10 is showed instead of 10.35. The format of the column is char .
