Help needed in partitioning a Table

Hi,
We can partiton a table by the following
create table sales (
     product_id     number,
     trans_amt     number,
     sales_dt     date,
     state_code     varchar2(2)
partition by list (state_code)
partition ct values ('CT'),
partition ca values ('CA'),
partition def values (default)
But if we dont know the values like 'CT' , 'CA' ....how can we do the partition

If you really don't know the values at all, or values that can change in future, use hash-partitioning.
For values that you mostly know and is unlikely to change, use list-partitioning, and accept you to do some maintenance in shuffling values around the partitions when they change.
But, hopefully you do know your states and they don't change too often.

I wouldn't go for partitioning table for 25,000 rows by month. Just a though.
Anyway, the partitioning question cannot be take in 5 minutes, you should ask yourself why you want it (do you have to archive "old" rows ?), study, benchmark...
But first of all, the reading of the following article may help you before choosing to go in partition, and choose how use it : Partition Decisions
In all cases, we cannot answer on which column you have to partition table, we don't know application queries and what are the "key" column(s) (which you should know before decide).

PS : partition is an option of Entreprise Edition with additional fee (an other point to take in account).

Help needed XML to Internal table and vice versa

Hello frnds, I need to convert Internal table to XML and Vice versa.
Now I am able to most of the part except for this...
the xml which I have to generate looks something like this...
- <trade_dt>
- <![CDATA[ 20111108000000:20111108235959
]]>
</trade_dt>
its a range I think
And then the reponse which I get back the XML is like
- <lockinfo>
- <![CDATA[
TRD_HEADER     1045     1          2
ACT_CASHFLOW     1042               1
TRD_TERM     1045               2
]]>
</lockinfo>
Is there any provision in class cl_ixml or class if_ixml_element to handle this part.....
Edited by: Amit Sawant on Dec 28, 2011 3:51 PM

Hello Amit,
I would suggest you, to use the XSL-Transformations, which can be inbound used in ABAP.
For example:
DATA:
l_xml       TYPE string,
lt_flights TYPE TABLE OF SFLIGHT.
SELECT * FROM SFLIGHT INTO TABLE LT_FLIGHT.
CALL TRANSFORMATION id
SOURCE DATA = lt_flights
RESULT XML l_xml.
Now, you have a XML-String which is in the ABAP-XML Notation, which means, that ABAP can move this XML-Data back into an internal table/structure.
For the backward, you have to use the following statement:
CALL TRANSFORMATION id
SOURCE XML l_xml
RESULT DATA = lt_flights.
As you will see, it is very easy. The Transformation "id" is just one example and build in. When you have to transform the data, or do not want to have the ASX-Notation in it, you should at least define your own transformations with the transaction XSLT_TOOL and use it similar to the transformation "id".
Kind Regards,
Hendrik

You don't. But I don't recall suggesting that you not use
HTML. I just
suggested that you use best-practice HTML, no? Or maybe you
meant to ask
how you would go about building your site without learning
HTML? In that
case, I think you are outta luck. Using DW without knowing
HTML is a very
punishing experience, I'm afraid.

Help needed in creating a table that updates itself at runtime.

I am working on creating a sniffer in java and need a GUI that will show the incoming packets as they are sniffed. How can I use tables such that they automatically update as and when the packets arrive.
Any help on this matter would be appreciated thanks

Help needed for report on tables vbak and vbap

Hello,
I needed help in one of my work issues, this is my first project and Iam still learning. kindly help.
I was asked to take erdat,vbeln,posnr from selection screen and compare it with the data already in tables vbap,vbak. If the data
already exists and exception needs to be raised saying that the 'data exists',but if the data is not present in the tables the
tables have to be updated. This has to be done using function module only.
Then I have to write a REPORT calling the above function module and finally displaying the number of records updated and the
list of them.
I have started writing a function module:
FUNCTION z_tableupdate.
""Local Interface:
*" IMPORTING
*"     VALUE(DATE) LIKE VBAK-ERDAT DEFAULT SY-DATUM
*"     VALUE(SALESORDERNO) LIKE VBAK-VBELN
*"     VALUE(ITEMNO) LIKE VBAP-POSNR
*" EXPORTING
*"     VALUE(EX_VBAP) LIKE VBAP STRUCTURE VBAP
*"     VALUE(SYS) LIKE SY-SYSID
*"     VALUE(EX_VBAK) LIKE VBAK STRUCTURE VBAK
*" EXCEPTIONS
*"      DATA_UPDATED
*"      DATA_EXISTS
SELECT * FROM vbak INTO vbak_wa WHERE erdat = date
                                    AND vbeln = salesorderno.
ENDSELECT.
SELECT * FROM vbap INTO vbap_wa WHERE posnr = itemno.
ENDSELECT.
IF sy-subrc EQ 0.
    ex_vbap = vbap_wa.
    ex_vbak = vbak_wa.
ELSE.
    RAISE data_exists.
ENDIF.
sys = sy-sysid.
ENDFUNCTION.
How is the above code for function module, will this work??
Now can I write a report to call the above function module and update the record?? if so, how to update ??? please help...Lots of thanks in advance.

Hi
Welcome to SDN forum
Whay can't you write a simple report in SE38.
why you are using Fun module
Nothing wrong in it.
But first become perfetc in reports in SE38 and then do using the fun modules
write a simple select statement like
SELECT AVBELN AERDAT BPOSNR BMATNR
INTO TABLE ITAB
FROM VBAK AS A JOIN VBAP ON
AVBELN = BVBELN
WHERE A~VBELN IN S_VBELN AND
             A~ERDAT IN S_ERDAT AND
             B~POSNR IN S_POSNR.
IF SY-SUBRC <> O.
WRITE: / 'No data found'.
ENDIF.
First write this in SE38 by defining a proper selection screen and internal tables
then do as fun module
see the doc for fun module
Function Modules;
Check this matter.
Function Modules are Global ABAP programs created by SAP for reusable purpose.they have IMPORT,EXPORT and TABLE parameters, and EXCEPTIONS to through when error occurs.
You can create them from TCode SE37.
Go through the following doc:
Function modules are cross-program, reusable procedures that are organized into function groups, and whose functions are implemented between the statements FUNCTION and ENDFUNCTION. Function modules and their interfaces are created in the Function Builder.
Function Module Interfaces
The parameter interface of a function module is defined in the Function Builder. It includes the definition of interface parameters and the specification of exceptions that can be triggered by a function module. The Function Builder automatically generates comment lines below the FUNCTION statement in the source code of the function module, which represent the interface of the function module with the following syntax:
Syntax
... [IMPORTING parameters]
[EXPORTING parameters]
[CHANGING parameters]
[TABLES table_parameters]
[{RAISING|EXCEPTIONS} exc1 exc2 ...]
The syntax and semantics of IMPORTING, EXPORTING, CHANGING, RAISING, and EXCEPTIONS mainly correspond to the definition of method interfaces with [CLASS-]METHODS. The additional option of defining table parameters using TABLES is obsolete.
Interface parameters
The interface parameters are defined on the relevant tab pages in the Function Builder.
IMPORTING parameters are input parameters. When the function module is called, a suitable actual parameter must be specified for every non-optional input parameter. The content of the actual parameter is passed to the input parameter when the call is made. The content of an input parameter for which 'pass by reference' is defined cannot be changed in the function module.
EXPORTING parameters are output parameters. When the function module is called, a suitable actual parameter can be specified for every output parameter. The content of an output parameter that is defined for 'pass by value' is transferred to the actual parameter if the function module is completed without errors. An output parameter that is defined for pass by reference is not initialized when the function module is called.
CHANGING parameters are input and output parameters. When the function module is called, a suitable actual parameter must be specified for every non-optional input or output parameter. When the function module is called, the content of the actual parameter is passed to the input/output parameter, and when the function module is completed, the content of the input/output parameter is passed to the actual parameter.
TABLES parameters are table parameters. Table parameters are obsolete CHANGING parameters that are typed as standard tables with a header line. If an internal table without a header line or a table body is passed as an actual parameter to a formal parameter of this type, an empty local header line is generated in the function module. If an internal table with a header line is used as an actual parameter, both the table body and the header line are passed to the function module. Pass by value is not possible in formal parameters defined using TABLES. Formal parameters defined with TABLES can be replaced by formal parameters defined with CHANGING. A local work area can be created for the internal table in the function module by using the addition LIKE LINE OF itab of the DATA statement.
Exceptions
The exception of a function module are defined on the Exceptions tab page in the Function Builder. Here you can select exception classes to define whether class-based exceptions are declared or non-class-based exception are defined. Class-based exceptions are represented in the above syntax by RAISING, and non-class-based exceptions are represented by EXCEPTIONS.
The addition RAISING is used to declare class-based exceptions that can be propagated from the function module to the caller. Exceptions in the categories CX_STATIC_CHECK and CX_DYNAMIC_CHECK must be explicitly declared, otherwise a propagation can lead to an interface violation. A violation of the interface leads to the treatable exception CX_SY_NO_HANDLER. Exceptions of the category CX_NO_CHECK are implicitly always declared. The declaration of exceptions of the category CX_STATIC_CHECK is statically checked in the syntax check. For exceptions of the category CX_DYNAMIC_CHECK, the check is not performed until runtime. In a function module in which class-based exceptions are declared with the RAISING addition, the statement CATCH SYSTEM-EXCEPTIONS cannot be used. Instead, the relevant treatable exceptions should be handled in a TRY control structure.
The addition EXCEPTIONS is used to define a list of non-class-based exceptions that can be triggered in the function module using the statements RAISE or MESSAGE RAISING. Exceptions defined in this way - as with formal parameters - are bound to the function module and cannot be propagated. If an exception of this type is triggered in a function module, and no return value has been assigned to it with the homonymous addition EXCEPTIONS of the CALL FUNCTION statement when the call was made, this leads to a runtime error.
Note
For new developments after release 6.10, SAP recommends that you work with class-based exceptions that are independent of the function module.
RFC is a technology which is used to access a functions (Modules) from
the remote systems.
If a function module is set as remote enabled which can be access from
the remote system via RFC.Eg: U can access the Remote enabled function modules in ur VB,Webdynpro,Java,Visual composer program.
A function module can be set as remote enabled by SE37->Go to ur FM->click the option Button "remote enabled".
But Normal function modules can not accessd from the remote system.
Good Example for RFC enabled function module is : BAPI(Business Application Programming Interface)
Note: All BAPIs are Remote enabled but not all remote enabled function modules are BAPI.
CALLING A FUNCTION MODULE:
1)In U ABAP Editor --> Click "Patter" ---> Selection Option Button "Call Function"
--> Write the Corresponding FM name --> Hit Enter
2)The appropriate import ,export Parameters will be displayed in ur editor
3)Pass the Values Here.

Help needed with comparing two tables

Hi
I have two tables which have same column names but different entries in each one of them and some common entries between the two tables.
Table A has all the entries of Table B and some extra ones.. and I need SQL to give me those extra ones that are not in Table B
Table A columns names (col1, col2 col3 ...) and data
col1 col2 col3 col4 col5 col6
a1 a2 a3 a4 a5 a6
b1 b2 b3 b4 b5 b6
c1 c2 c3 c4 c5 c6
d1 d2 d3 d4 d5 d6
All columns are varchar2
Table B columns names ( col1,col2 ..) and data
col1 col2 col3 col4 col5 col6
a1 a2 a3 a4 a5 a6
c1 c2 c3 c4 c5 c6
All columns are varchar2
So the answer I would like to get is
b1 b2 b3 b4 b5 b6
d1 d2 d3 d4 d5 d6
because these two entries are not in Table B but in Table A
Appreciate if you can help me with this because I have millions of records that I need sort through and get the entries and cannot be done manually..
Thanks in Advance

Help needed with conditions in Table View

Another question regarding the dashboard we are building:
We use a custom function module to display marketing attributes for a particular customer. There are three kinds of marketing attributes of which we want to display the value:
- Z_QUADRANT
- Z_SOW
- Z_WALLET
If I use the function module as a data service in Visual Composer and use a standard table view as ouput, we get these kind of output:
Atnam - Atwrt - Atflv - Atzhl (<-- these are the column labels)
Z_QUADRANT - 4 - 0 - 0
Z_SOW - 0 - 5 - 0
Z_WALLET - 0 - 75.000 - 0
I just want to display the data as follows:
QUADRANT: 4
SOW: 5%
WALLET: 75.000
So I need to hide the obsolete fields and values and just need to display the relevant values. How can I achieve this? I was guessing I needed to implement some sort of conditional formula like "IF atnam = Z_QUADRANT, display Atwrt(value)" or something, but I am terrible at these kind of things. Can somebody explain it to me or point in the right direction of some good documentation or guide on this? Thanks in advance!
Best regards,
Jan Laros

I now chose to use a form which uses the output from the tables. This is the table I use as input for the form:
http://tweakers.net/ext/f/DWmYaePz4gdzVhwMJ3naA5UQ/full.jpg
I use the following formula for the quadrant:
IF(@ATNAM=="EU_BP_NPS_QUADRANT",@ATWRT,"0")
This returns a value of "4" which is correct.
For SOW I use the following formula:
IF(@ATNAM=="EU_BP_NPS_SOW",@ATFLV,"WRONG")
Strangely enough the return value is "WRONG" in the form. What am I missing here?

Jan

Help needed in downloading int table

Hi All,
I have to download an internal table into an Excel file in directory "c:\...." using file name: UPLD_YYMMDD_#, where # changes if more than 1 file
is run on any date. Ex: UPLD_080222_1, UPLD_080222_2, etc.
How can i do this with different file nos changing?
Thanks in advance.

You could use this FM TMP_GUI_GET_FILE_EXIST to check if the file exists...Otherwise, you assign a different number...

Help needed for updating a table

install date cost term jan02 feb02 mar02 apr02 may02 jun02
jan 02 30 3 10 10 10
feb02 120 6 20 20 20 20 20 20
mar02 25 5 5 5 5 5 5
The table contains all the columns seen above, try to write a script which will update the months column(jan02 feb02...jun02) with the cost(cost/term) depending on the install date and the term.
ex: if the term is 3 months I have to update jan feb and mar with the cost/term value spilt across 3 months
if the term is 6 months I have to update jan feb mar apr may jun with the cost/term value spilt across 6 months
if the term is 5 months I have to update jan feb mar apr may with the cost/term value spilt across 5 months

Oops, copy and past mistake. This is better:
update your_table
set jan02 = decode(greatest((term-1)*-1, 0), 0, cost/term, null)
, feb02 = decode(greatest((term-2)*-1, 0), 0, cost/term, null)
, mar02 = decode(greatest((term-3)*-1, 0), 0, cost/term, null)
, apr02 = decode(greatest((term-4)*-1, 0), 0, cost/term, null)
, may02 = decode(greatest((term-5)*-1, 0), 0, cost/term, null)
, jun02 = decode(greatest((term-6)*-1, 0), 0, cost/term, null)

Looks like you don't have partition license or don't have a complete install of Oracle version 8.0.5. The best way to check is do a sqlplus user/passwd and look for a message that said "Production with the Partitioning and objects options" to appear before the SQL> prompt. Hope this helps....

Partitioning Streamed table

Hello Team,
We're running Oracle streams on 9205/Sun Platform. Tables are getting larger and larger for reporting database.
Here's the scenario:
Proddb ===> Proddb2 (Streams to one direction)We purge Prod every year and Proddb2 every three years. Tables are getting larger and we need to partition these tables (100 Million Rows min - 300 Million Max).
Here's the Challenging Questions:
1. Should we drop streams, partition tables and re-setup again
A. If we re-setup again we need to syncronise databases, if so, how?
B. To sync we need to export from Proddb to Proddb2 does it overright existing
data from proddb2?
2. Stop the streams and partition the tables and try re-starting it again and see, we
never done this and I don't know if it works. I am assuming sequences will fail.
3. Any other alternative solution from your site??
Thanks in advance.

You can do it differentlty. It is possible to use partitioned table on one side and non-partitioned table on different side.
1) offline.
You can use DBMS_STREAMS.SET_TAG procedure in order to skip any statements to be propagated. You can do anything like rename tables create newone and copy data
Start replication - everything is in sync.
2) You can just convert table to partitioned table. All data will stay in first partition and you can start new one.
If you want to keep same partitons on both sides you need to enable DDL replication as well

Help needed. I have a 3TB external hard drive partitioned into 1TB's. I used one partition as backup for the main computer hard drive. But now it is greyed out as shown in the disk utility and its name changed, i dont know how that happened, i tried verif

Help needed. I have a 3TB external hard drive partitioned into 1TB's. I used one partition as backup for the main computer hard drive. But now it is greyed out as shown in the disk utility and its name changed, i dont know how that happened, i tried verifying and repairing it but had no luck. I also tried mounting and unmounting it but still no solution. Anyone to help please?

Looks bad. I would strongly advise backing up the stuff on the other two partitions as soon as possible in case the rest of the drive goes wrong.
Beyond that, Disk Utility has limited abilities to repair disks, DiskWarrior uses a different approach and might, emphasis might be more successful. It has certainly done the job for me in the past when Disk Utility could not.
