Need Help with simple date conversion

Hi all,
I have been creating integrations from custom Oracle tables to my Hyperion Planning application. I have most of them working, but am having issues loading dates to the application.
The dates in the source are formatted as M/DD/YY.
Hyperion can only recieve the dates if they are in MM-DD-YYY format. (atleast that is the error I receive when I load the interface)
Could someone please help me build an ODI expression that will convert/format the date? My SQL is pretty weak.
Thanks,
Nick

Thanks for the reply. I guess one of my issues is I am trying to do this conversion in my Sunopsis Memory Staging Area. So I guess I should be using SQL to convert the date, but I am still having issues.
Here is the error from my log file when I attempt a straight mapping of the date...

Here is the SQL statement from the operator when I attempt (poor attempt) at converting the date....

10.1.2: Problem with ConrolHint Date-Formatter

Hi,
when defining an control hint of format type Simple Date and format "yyyy-MM-dd G 'at' hh:mm:ss" in an EO the business components browser shows values like "2005-01-04 n. Chr. at 12:00:00". But the SQL column contains a correct time fragment like "9:35:21.0". Without control hint definition the value is displayed as "2005-01-04 9:35:21.0" !!
The attribute is defined as DATE/oracle.jbo.domain.Date.
Any workaround?
With JDev9052 I get the same results! Please, have a look at Date (Formatter) problem in JDev 9052
Markus

Hello,
is is bug really not fixed?
When I take a look at the Entries in the Bug Fixed List
(Bugs Fixed in Oracle JDeveloper 10g 10.1.2), I would have though differently:
2825228 3730910 BC4J RT DEFAULTDATEFORMATTER DOES NOT SUPPORT NEW TIMESTAMP DOMAIN?
3730910 BC4J DOMAIN TIMESTAMP DOMAIN NOT EQUIVALENT TO JAVA.SQL.TIMESTAMP, FORMATING BROKEN?
3668688 3730910 BC4J DATA_TAGS TIME VALUES NOT SHOWN IN JSP - WHEN USING SQL DIALECT SQL92?
Or is this referring to an other problem?
Greetings
Harald.

Need help with simple XML validation

I am new to Spry and need some help creating a simple
validation. There is a form field which must not contain a value
already in the database. I have a script which accepts a parameter
and returns a boolean result. Here is the XML:
<samples>
<sample>
<ISFOUND>0</ISFOUND>
</sample>
</samples>
1. How do I call this script when the form field changes and
pass the form value as the parameter?
2. How do I check the returned value in the XML and throw an
error if true?
I appreciate any help with this. Please let me know if there
is a better way to achieve the same result.
Thanks,
Rich

I enabled the call to the XML response. However, I am having
trouble identifying when the call is complete so I can parse the
result. How do I run my check after the data load and display the
proper message?

Need help with saving data and keeping table history for one BP

Hi all
I need help with this one ,
Scenario:
When adding a new vendor on the system the vendor is suppose to have a tax clearance certificate and it has an expiry date, so after the certificate has expired a new one is submitted by the vendor.
So i need to know how to have SBO fullfil this requirement ?
Hope it's clear .
Thanks
Bongani

Hi
I don't have a problem with the query that I know I've got to write , the problem is saving the tax clearance certificate and along side it , its the expiry date.
I'm using South African localization.
Thanks

Need help with Rollback data if there is error in Data load

Hi All,
We are trying to load data to Oracle 11g database. We want a trigger, procedure or something like that to rollback the data if there are errors in load. Is it possible to do rollback after all the records has been parsed ? So if we try to load 100 records and if there are 30 records with error, we want to rollback after all the 100 records are parsed.
Please advice.

>
Thanks for the suggestion. I'll try that option. So currently we are only loading data that is validated and erroneous records are rejected using trigger. So we don't get any invalid data in table. But Now users are saying that all the records should be rejected if there is even one error in the data load.
>
I generally use a much simpler solution for such multi-stage ETL processes.
Each table has a IS_VALID column that defaults to 'N'. Each step of the process only pulls data with the flag set to 'Y'.
That allows me to leave data in the table but guarantee that it won't be processed by subsequent stages. Since most queries that move data from one stage to another ultimately have to read table rows (i.e. they can't just use indexes) it is not a performance issue to add a predicate such as "'AND IS_VALID = 'Y'" to the query that accesses data.
1. add new unvalidated data - automatically flagged an invalid by default of 'N" on IS_VALID column
2. run audit step #1 - capture the primary key/rowid of any row failing the audit.
3. run audit steps #2 through #n - capture error row ids
4. Final step - update the data setting IS_VALID to 'Y' only if a row passes ALL audits: that is, only if there are NO fatal errors for that row captured in the error table.
That process also allows me to capture every single problem that any row has so that I can produce reports for the business users that show everything that is wrong with the data. There are some problems that the business wan't to ignore, others that can be fixed in the staging tables then reprocessed and others that are rejected since they must be fixed in the source system and that can take several days.
For data that can be fixed in the staging tables the data is fixed and then the audit is rerun which will set the IS_VALID flag to 'Y' allowing those 'fixed' rows to be included in the data that feeds the next processing stage.

Need Help With Simple ABAP Code

Hello,
I'm loading data from a DSO (ZDTBMAJ) to an Infocube (ZCBRAD06). I need help with ABAP code to some of the logic in Start Routine. DSO has 2 fields: ZOCTDLINX & ZOCBRDMAJ.
1. Need to populate ZOCPRODCD & ZOCREFNUM fields in Infocube:
    Logic:-
    Lookup /BI0/PMATERIAL, if /BIC/ZOCBRDMAJ = /BIC/OIZOCBRDMAJ
    then /BIC/ZOCPRODCD = ZOCPRODCD in Infocube
           /BIC/ZOCREFNUM = ZOCREFNUM in Infocube
2. Need to populate 0G_CWWTER field in Infocube:
    Logic:
    Lookup /BIC/PZOCTDLINX, if /BIC/ZOCTDLINX = BIC/OIZOCTDLINX
    then G_CWWTER = 0G_CWWTER in Infocube.
I would need to read single row at a time.
Thanks!

I resolved it.

Help with a Date variable

I'm creating a jscript to automatically rename a file the current days date, but i can't figure out how to get it to put a zero in front of days/months that are single digits. Can anyone help me real quick? Heres the code i already have, pay no attention to the "dh" part, it has to be there:
var todayFileName = "dh" +
today.getFullYear() + "" +
today.getMonth() + "" +
(today.getDate()+1); + " " +

This little javascript function should help.
Note that it is only meant to work with valid dates. Putting in a -7 for the parameter will result in something not so nice :-)
function twoDigitNo(no){
return (no < 10) ? "0" + no : no;
}Cheers,

Help with simple script

I was wondering if someone could help me with a simple bit of action script 3. I need to make a movie clip (single_mc) disappear when the user clicks on the mouse (stop_btn). Here’s what I have so far.
function setProperty(event:MouseEvent):void
single_mc.alpha=0;
stop_btn.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, setProperty);
Also I was wonder if you could recommend an Action script 3 book for me. I would like one that is not a training book, but has situations and then the script written out. For example: I click a button and a movie symbol disappears from the stage. I am a graphic artist, that from time to time, needs simple interaction in flash, but cant justify the time to learn the script.
Thanks for your time

use the snippets panel to help with you with sample code for basic tasks.
function setProperty(event:MouseEvent):void
single_mc.visible=false;
stop_btn.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, setProperty);

Please help with simple Drag N Drop

I’m desperate and need some help with this simple drag
and drop. Here is the scenario…this animation is for a
kindergarten course. I have 6 different colored teddy bears on the
floor and the bears are to be placed on the middle shelf in the
room, in no particular order. I have the code in place to drag the
bears, and they return to their original location if dropped in the
wrong area. Everything works, except I can’t make the bears
stick to the target area. The target area has to be the same for
all 6 bears. Can someone help me out with this?
I have a feeling that the problem has something to do with my
instance names, but I have tried everything I can think of and
cannot get it to work. Is there some way I can post, send, or
attach my .fla file for someone to look at? I’m desperate.
PLEASE HELP!

Help with calender dates

Hello every one
I have a table with calender dates and there is a indicator which says if it is a working day or an holiday. Is there a way I can write a procedure that will help me fill that indicator column based on the calender dates.
My table looks something like this
date indicator
01/01/2011 Holiday
01/02/2011 working day
01/03/2011 working day
12/31/2011 working day

Good Friday or Easter Monday as a holiday I can't help you with that.
here is easter both julian and gregarian

Help with simple programming

Hello everyone.
First time posting, i hope someone would be able to help me out. There are 5 classes that i have to do, but i only need help with one of them. I've been stuck on this one pretty long and can't continue without it.
Instructions:
     Has boolean data member face, either HEADS or TAILS.
     Has a Random data member flipper which is instantiated in the constructor.
     Class constructor has no parameters and randomly chooses the result HEADS or TAILS. (See method flip())
     Method getFace() returns the face showing on the coin.
     void method flip() randomly selects HEADS or TAILS.
package coinflip;
import java.util.Random;
* @author Blank
public class Coin {
    boolean face = false;
    int flip_coin;
    Random flipper = new Random();
    int getFace() {
        return flip_coin;
      Coin() {
        if (flip_coin == 0) {
            face = true;
        } else {
            face = false;
    public void flip() {
        flip_coin = flipper.nextInt(2);
}i really don't know why the random isn't working. I hope someone would be able to find my errors and instruct me on how to fix them. I would be able to continue the rest of the classes as soon as i got this figured out.
Oh and can someone teach me how to import this class into a main one? So i can test it out. This is what i have for it.public class Main {
     * @param args the command line arguments
    public static void main(String[] args) {
     Coin flipCoin = new Coin();
     for(int i=0;i<6;i++){
     System.out.println(flipCoin.getFace());
}Many Thanks!

Constructors are only executed once. What im confused about is:
Class constructor has no parameters and randomly chooses the result HEADS or TAILS. (See method flip())
I thought i would flip() into the constructor. Mind helping me out on the whole class because it seems i am clueless about this whole class.
Edit:
public class Coin {
    boolean face = false;
    int flip_coin;
    Random flipper = new Random();
    int getFace() {
        flip();
        return flip_coin;
    Coin() {
       //flip();
    public void flip() {
        flip_coin = flipper.nextInt(2);
}K i reread what you wrote about the constructor and method. So i placed flip() method in getFace(); because its being called in the main(it gives me random numbers). The problem now is following the directions.
I just dont understand this description. Class constructor has no parameters and randomly chooses the result HEADS or TAILS. (See method flip())
What do you think it means.

Help with simple applet - dragging box

Hi I need help with a simple applet concept.
I have a picture drawn in the background, but I need to draw a square and resize it when I drag.
So with the picture in the background I click, drag the mouse, and it draws a rectangle from the starting point to where the mouse is while the mouse is clicked.
The only problem is I can't figure out how to do this without redrawing the whole picture. If I don't repaint, it just keeps stretching around rectangles and leaving them there.
I don't really need exact code, just an idea on how to do this without repainting the background every time the mouse is moved (because the picture in the background is complicated to draw and takes like a second).
Thanks
[nvm, found out about xormode]

..the picture in the background is complicated to draw and takes like a second).Paint the 'picture in the background' to a BufferedImage, then when it comes to paint()/paintComponent(), draw the BI to the Graphics object (clipped, if necessary (1)), then draw the rectangle to the Graphics object. This would be further optimised at time of rendering, by drawing both the 'picture in the background' BI and rectangle to a second BI, and finally writing that 2nd BI to the Graphics object.
1) There are potentially other improvements that can be made, particularly with clipping, but I suspect if you try as I suggested, the rendering will be very quick and responsive. I have 40 FPS sound trace animations that do a great deal more on each call to paintComponent(), before bursting the final BI to screen.
