How can we export the Primary key values (along with other data) from an Advantage database?

One of our customers is moving from our application (which uses Advantage Database Server) to another application (which uses other database technology). They have asked us to help export their data, so that they can migrate it to another database system. So far, we have used the Advantage Data Architect (ARC32) "Export Table Structures as Code" functionality to generate SQL. We used the "Include existing data" option. The SQL contains the necessary code to recreate the tables and indexes. The customer's IT staff will alter the SQL statements as necessary for their new system.
However, there is an issue with the Primary Keys in these table. The resulting INSERT statements use AutoInc as the type for the Primary Key in each Table. These INSERT statements contains "DEFAULT" for the value of each of these AutoInc fields. The customer would like to output an integer value for each of these Primary Key values in order to maintain referential integrity in their new system.
So far, I have not found any feature of ARC32 that allows us to export the Primary Key values. We had been using an older version of ARC32, since our application does not use the latest version of ADS. I did download the latest version of ARC32 (11.10), but it does not appear to include any new functionality that would facilitate doing this sort of export.
Can somebody tell me if there is such a feature in ARC32?
Or, is there is another Advantage tool to facilitate what we are trying to accomplish?
If there are no Advantage tools to provide such functionality, what else would you suggest?

George,
It sounds like the approach you are using is the correct one. This seems to be the cleanest solution to me especially since the customer is able to modify the generated SQL statements for their new system.
In order to preserve the AutoInc values I would recommend altering the table and changing the field datatype from AutoInc to Integer. Then export the table as code which will export the actual values. After the tables have been created on the new system they can change the field datatype back to an AutoInc type if necessary.

How can I obtain the primary key of a table for an entity relation?

hello everybody
I am doing a consultation to a table in my data base, good this table has alone two fields, the first one is the code or pk and the second one is the description, to be presisos they are names of city and code.
From the beginning!!: This method this one in another class that is a Dialog that is going to call to the class SelecPlace ();
SelecPlace sl = new SelecPlace();
public void capturarLugar(){ // Simple void method in the mentioned class
        String place = txtProcedencia.getText() ; // a JTextField
        sl.executeStatement(place) ;
    }ok, now we see part of the code of the class SelectPlace
public class SelecPlace extends AbstractTableModel{
    Connection con = null;
    Statement sentencia = null ;
    ResultSet rs = null;
    ResultSetMetaData rsmd = null ;
    String[] nameColum = {} ;
    Vector datos = new Vector() ;
    public SelecPlace() { }
    public void executeStatement(String query){
      try{
         con = DBManager.getConnection() ;
         sentencia = con.createStatement(rs.TYPE_SCROLL_INSENSITIVE,
                                                                      rs.CONCUR_UPDATABLE) ;
         String sql = "select * from Place where descripcion like %"+query+"%'";
          rs = sentencia.executeQuery(sql) ;
          rsmd = rs.getMetaData();
          int nroColumnas = rsmd.getColumnCount() ;
          nameColum = new String[nroColumnas] ;
          //obtengo los nombres de columnas en cache
           for(int colum = 0; colum < nroColumnas; columna++){
                nameColum[colum] = rsmd.getColumnLabel(columna + 1) ;
           datos = new Vector();
            while(rs.next()){
                Vector newRow = new Vector();
                for(int i = 0; i < getColumnCount(); i++){
                newRow.addElement(rs.getObject("place_ID"));
                newRow.addElement(rs.getObject("description"));
                datos.addElement(nuevaFila);
            fireTableChanged(null);
        }catch(SQLException e){
            System.err.println(e);
            e.printStackTrace(System.err);
            System.out.println("error in statement");
        }catch(ClassNotFoundException cnfe){
            System.err.println(cnfe);
    }Ok, this code me works and I obtain in this case the field description of the table Place
Now my question is, how can I obtain the primary field of my table?
I need this value of this field that in the base of information in a bigint, and to take it to the first class before mentioned, for that I am working with a data base related

Certain duffymo and everyone!!, good I give you my scheme:
And generalizing my question, I want to obtain the value of the primary key of a table in the database, I obtain more values of the same row, but I need the primary key, and you see one with the primary key I want to turn a Long and it to insert with code java in foreign clave in another table of the database
Good of this form I believe that it would not be breaking the integrity relacional of the tables

How can we Restict the Char single value Variables with , , =

Hi Experts,
How can we Restict the Char value Variables with <, >, <= (without selecting Inverval or only passing single value)
For Example
We have a standard Query 0FIAR_C03_Q1005, in this
New Selection
"1 - 15 Days, Posting Date<=Key Date, Clearing Date>Key Date"
This is restricted with the
Clearing(0CLEAR_DATE)
<Clearing key date(0P_KEYD3) It is a single value SAP Exit Varible
PostingDate(0PSTNG_DATE)
<= Posting keydate(0P_KEYD3) It is a single value SAP Exit Varible
When seeing these 0P_KEYD3, 0P_KEYD3 variables in the New selection screen they looks like >0P_KEYD3, <=0PSTNG_DATE
if you define any custom variables these are looks like =ZV_DATE.
to enable < , >, <= symbols for variables what we need to do.
In other way
Say we created one variable ZV_DATE single value, processing type as customer exit.
for this we populated current day,
Now Requirement is we need to display the all the records which are <= current date,
instead of passing low and high values, i want to restrict the calday <=ZV_DATE
New selection
0calday
<=ZV_DATE
How can we achive this, this is how the business content report having the restrictions
Please sugget me.
Thanks
Chandra

Ok,
In the InfoObject 0calday in the query designer under the filter area, under characteristic restrictions right-click over that InfoObject (0calday).
In the next window (select Values for [0CALDAY] Calendar Day in the dropdown box for "Show" choose Value Ranges. Under the word "Between" dropdown box select "Less than or equal to"
Below that word click on the button of the dropdown box Select from list.
In the new window select instead of History Variables and double-click on your variable ZV_DATE.
Click on the right blue arrow to move it to the right.
And there you go.
Tip: It exists a SAP standard variable named 0DAT which is exactly the current date (don't need to use ZV_DATE variable).

How to find out the primary key of oracle apps tables

Hii,,
My Question is How to find the primary key in the apps table...Is there any Query or other way to find out???
for eg.
I want to find out the primary key of the AP_INVOICES_ALL table...just tell me how can i get the primary key of this table.
I am currently using toad for the query..
Please guide me...

you can define the primary key when you create table
or add the primary key after the table creation by 'ALTER TABLE ... ADD constraint pk_nme primary key (col1, col2)';
you could use below sql to check the detail of primary key:
1) check out the table definition directly:
select dbms_metadata.get_ddl('TABLE','EMP') FROM DUAL;
2) check out the columns of primary key:
select * from user_constraints where constraint_type='P' AND table_NAME='EMP';
select * from user_cons_columns where CONSTRAINT_NAME='PK_EMP';And BTW, it is madam, not sir. :)

How can we pass the select-option value to modulepool program?

hi,
how can we pass the select-option value to modulepool program ?
Because if i declared select-options in executable program and i used SSCRFIELDS to define push buttons in selection screen.
           My requirement if enter the values to select-options and press UPDATE pussbotton then i want call screen which contains tablecontrol.
           How i get select-option values to PAI of call screen for getting the data from database table to my internal table?

Oh I thought that you have selection-screen and again you are working on dialog programming.
if you want to use select-option directly in module pool then it is not possible.
but you can do other way.
create two varaiables
data : v_kun_low like kna1-kunnr,
         v_kun_high like kna1-kunnr.
use these two variables in layout ,let user knows that he can not give options like gt,lt,eq ,it will be always BT.
and also when you see normal report program,you can use multiple values in either low or high,but here it is not possibel.
use can enter only low value and high value.
when you come to program point of view
declare one range
ranges r_kunnr for kna1-kunnr.
do the coding like
r_kunnr-low = v_kun_low.
r_kunnr-high = v_kun_high.
r_kunnr-options = 'BT'.
r_kunnr-sign = 'I'.
append r_kunnr.
now you can use r_kunnr in select query ,it will work like select-option.
other than this there is no option.
Thanks

How can i restrict the Expenditure Type values at a specific OU ?

Dear Guys,
I would like to ask about the Expenditure Types,
I have implemented two projects for different Operating Units ,
when navigating to any Projects responsibilty,and navigating the Expenditure Type field
the values exist are all the values implemented across the OU not the values entered at this OU
How can i restrict the Expenditure Type values at a specific OU
Regards
Amr Hussien

Hello
When you set up a project there is an option called Transaction Control.
This option allow you to list the allowed or restricted elements of costs for the project.
You may enter the transaction control on a project template and that will be copied to any new project.
The cost elements may be expenditure types, expenditures categories, suppliers, employees, etc.
In your case, I suggest to set up specific project templates for each operating units. On each template enter the list of allowed expenditures types for that OU.
Doing so, the system restricts users from entering any expenditure item, supplier invoice, purchase cost etc, against an expenditure type, which is not allowed.

How can I export the universe to CSV format in Rational (java)

How can I export the universe to CSV format in Rational ,please give me one demo .thanks!!

There's no direct access to an Universe from Java - Universes do have an SDK, but it's COM-based.
If what you want is to retrieve data from the Universe, what you can do is create a Web Intelligence document reporting off that Universe, create a Query with the data you want from the Universe, then use the ReportEngine (REBean) SDK to retrieve the ResultSet from the Query - note that there's no CSV export option, so you'd have to walk through the ResultSet and write to an CSV yourself.

How can i export the data to excel which has 2 tables with same number of columns & column names?

Hi everyone, again landed up with a problem.
After trying a lot to do it myself, finally decided to post here..
I have created a form in form builder 6i, in which on clicking a button the data gets exported to excel sheet.
It is working fine with a single table. The problem now is that i am unable to do the same with 2 tables.
Because both the tables have same number of columns & column names.
Below are 2 tables with column names:
Table-1 (MONTHLY_PART_1)
Table-2 (MONTHLY_PART_2)
SL_NO
SL_NO
COMP
COMP
DUE_DATE
DUE_DATE
U-1
U-1
U-2
U-2
U-4
U-4
U-20
U-20
U-25
U-25
Since both the tables have same column names, I'm getting the following error :
Error 402 at line 103, column 4
alias required in SELECT list of cursor to avoid duplicate column names.
So How can i export the data to excel which has 2 tables with same number of columns & column names?
Should i paste the code? Should i post this query in 'SQL and PL/SQL' Forum?
Help me with this please.
Thank You.

You'll have to *alias* your columns, not prefix it with the table names:

How can we pass the master report value in to detail report

Hi All,
My question is how can I pass the master report value in to detail (Child) report filter?
I mean I have one master report if I click on employee name then I have to pass the employee id in to details report filter. Then detail report will display data for that particular employee.
How can I achieve this one in OBIEE?
Please help me to resolve this issue. Thanks in advance for your time and support.

In that case, you should look at using Go Url. In your column formula for the employee name, create a hyperlink to the detail report and pass the employee id.
Take a look at this post: Re: Dyanmic display of the Image Link URL
Thanks!

How Can i retain the Shared Variable Values after PC rebooting

Hi all,
I am facing a paculiar problem with Shared Variables. I have an application in which shared variables are used for data communication.
One of the application requirement is to retain the variable values eventhough PC is rebooted or started after crashing.
As per the my understanding, the variable values will retain eventhough the PC is rebooted. But here i can observe a paculiar problem like some library variables are retaing the values while some others not. I enabled logging for all the variables.
I tried many ways. like logging enabled, logging disabled, changing variable names, changing process names etc... But i am not getting a consistent behaviour.
I hope some you can help me in solving this issue.. "How Can i retain the Shared Variable Values after PC rebooting"
Thanks and Regards,
Mir

Hi Blackperl,
Thanks for the post and I hope your well.
What do you mean by not getting consistent behaviour.. this will all depend on excatly when the crash happens i.e. before the write or after.
Surely a better method would be to log the data to a file during the reboot...
I beleived the value read back
will be the default value for the shared variable's data type.
The LabVIEW DSC 8.0 module adds more functionality to the shared variable, including initial values and alarms.
If you enable an initial value on a shared variable, when the variable
engine comes back on-line it will default to this value. Setting a bad
status alarm for the shared variable is also a good way of handling
this type of event. Additionally, if you are using a LabVIEW Real-Time
target such as Compact RIO or Compact FieldPoint, it is appropriate to
consider hosting the shared variable engine on the real-time target.
These devices have watch-dog capabilities and are typically the
hardware controlling the critical pieces of an application. Most
Windows or PC-based targets do not have these fail-safes.
I guess, if you could explain to me again that would be great. From my point of view, if I have a cRIO and a Windows PC. If the windows PC crashes, the cRIO will still update its shared variables. Then once the PC has started up its own shared variable engine, and the bindings are loaded, it will once again continue to update its copies of the variables.
Please let me know what you think,
Kind Regards,
James.
