How do I manipulate process variables within sql?

Hi,
I am working with Oracle 10gR2.
my main problem is to indicate a problem within the execution of a SQLPLUS.
I saw in this forum that there is a bug and the return code will be ignored.
So it was suggested:
As a workaround you can define processflow variable and bind RESULT_CODE parameter of Sql*plus activity to this variable. Then you can define transition from
sqlplus activity with custom ("complex") condition (like PF_VAR_RC=2 etc.).What exactly shall this mean?
I am now on the way to solve this by manipulating the process variable within SQLPLUS. But how can I access this variable and manipulate it within PLSQL?
Many thanks
cheers Daniel

Hi Daniel,
even with this "bug" it is possible to get result of execution SQL*Plus activity:
- SQL*Plus command exit 0 produce SUCCESS return code in SQL*Plus activity
- SQL*Plus command exit 1 (or with other non zero value) produce FAILURE return code in SQL*Plus activity

How do I use a variable within a sql statement

I am trying to use a local variable within an open SQL step but I keep getting an error.
My sql command looks like this "SELECT BoardDetailID FROM BoardDetails WHERE SerialNumber = " + locals.CurrentSerialNo
If I replace the locals.CurrentSerialNo with an actual value such as below the statement works fine.
"SELECT BoardDetailID FROM BoardDetails WHERE SerialNumber = " + " 'ABC001' "
Can someone tell me how to correctly format the statement to use a variable?

Hi,
Thanks for the reply. I have changed the required variable to a string, but with no success. I have reattached my updated sequence file and an image of the error.
When looking at the Data operation step I see that the sql statement is missing everything after the last quotation mark.
Thanks again,
Stuart

How to start/stop process flow from sql*plus?

Hi,
i know how to start a process flow via sqlplus_exec_template.sql, but i cannot find any information on how to stop (and rollback) a working flow from sql*plus. Any help would be appreciated.

Hi,
I've had a go.
How should I interpret the results of list_requests:
owner_owr@ORKDEV01> @list_requests

Whilst a process flow is executing the last query will list executions, all of which have status BUSY:

owner_owr@ORKDEV01>
As an aside, I will attempt to get rid of the READY deployment and deployment unit using deactive_deployment.sql
Now, if I attempt to use deactivate_execution.sql on any of the executions with status BUSY I get:
owner_owr@ORKDEV01> @deactivate_execution
Voer waarde voor 1 in: 396136
declare
FOUT in regel 1:
.ORA-20003: The object is not in a valid state for the requested operation

ORA-06512: at "OWNER_OWR.WB_RTI_EXECUTION", line 774
ORA-06512: at "OWNER_OWR.WB_RT_EXECUTION", line 90
ORA-06512: at line 4
owner_owr@ORKDEV01>
So all the seems to remain is to use abort_exec_request.sql
This does the job, but the script itself hangs.
I think it has to do with the l_stream_id not being checked again after the initial IF. I think it should probably be part of the loop condition as it is again reset in the do_acks inside the loop.
Cheers & thanks,

Script logic - how to use a selection variable within an allocation logic

Hi,
I want to implement a simple top-down distribution to distribute values from a yearly budget (Y20xx.TOTAL) to a quarter budget (Q20xx.Q1, ... Q20xx.Q4) using the actuals of the previous year as reference.
If we hard code the members it works fine:
*RUNALLOCATION
*FACTOR=USING/TOTAL
*DIM ACCOUNT WHAT=ACC_NOT_ASSIGNED; WHERE=BAS(FIN); USING=<<<; TOTAL=<<<
*DIM TIME WHAT=Y2009.TOTAL; WHERE=BAS(Q2009.TOTAL); USING=BAS(Q2008.TOTAL); TOTAL=<<<
*DIM CATEGORY WHAT=SBO; WHERE=<<<; USING=ACTUAL; TOTAL=<<<
*ENDALLOCATION
Of course, we want to make this dynamic, using the values inputted in the selection screen of the package: time, entity and category.
So if we start with write the following logic, it does not work anymore:
*RUNALLOCATION
*FACTOR=USING/TOTAL
*DIM ACCOUNT WHAT=ACC_NOT_ASSIGNED; WHERE=BAS(FIN); USING=<<<; TOTAL=<<<
*DIM TIME WHAT=%TIME_DIM%; WHERE=BAS(Q2009.TOTAL); USING=BAS(Q2008.TOTAL); TOTAL=<<<
*DIM CATEGORY WHAT=%CATEGORY_DIM%; WHERE=<<<; USING=ACTUAL; TOTAL=<<<
*ENDALLOCATION
So, how to use the selection variables in this allocation logic? %TIME%, %CATEGORY% also did not work ...

Hi Dries,
Looks like you solved this, but if I can just add a small point -- when you use syntax like this:
*DIM ACCOUNT WHAT=ACC_NOT_ASSIGNED; WHERE=BAS(FIN);
*DIM TIME WHAT=Y2009.TOTAL; WHERE=BAS(Q2009.TOTAL);
each time the logic runs, it will scan through the dimension from the FIN and Q2009.TOTAL members, one level at a time, until it reaches the base members (where calc = 'n'). This may happen very quickly, if the dimension has very few levels, but could take a bit of extra time if it's a particularly deep dimension. (By which I mean many levels of hierarchy -- not some 1970's Pink Floyd musical reference.)
You may speed things up by using a member property instead of the BAS(xyz). Flag all the base members using a specific property value, and that way the logic engine can pick up the complete list of members in the WHERE clause, in a single query.
*DIM Account What=ACC_NOT_ASSIGNED; Where=[FloydProperty]="DarkSideOfTheMoon"; ...
This adds some maitenance work in the dimension, which may be problematic if your admins are changing it regularly (and will cause problems if they forget to update this particular property).
I can't predict how much time this will save you (maybe not much at all), but anyway I figure you'd want to know exactly what work you're asking the system to perform.

Tim

How to call a session variable into sql?

for example, I have a coldfusion session variable - session.testvar
I am writing a Stored procedure in sql server 2000. The query within my stored procedure needs to insert a value into a table. The value needs to be my CF session variable. I have no idea how this is done, does anyone else have a hunch?
I am using coldfusion 8 and sql server 2000.

Pass it to the SP as a variable
- there are examples in the cf docs

How do I use a variable within paragraphFormat?

I would like to insert the firstname of a client within paragrapgFormat(). ie: paragraphFormat(Hi #firstname#, your info......) When I output this the firstname just shows as #firstname#. Is there a way to get his to work?

The first instance of 'FirstName' is a variable name. Whereas the last instance is a substring within the string defined by getInfo.message. I am assuming that the message you have saved in the database is:
"Hi" & FirstName & ",
We are writing to you to inform you that we received your request to schedule the...
You could modify the code as follows. Give the queries separate names, say, getUser and getMessage. Omit the columns userID and messID from the respective queries. This is because the where-clauses already specify the values.
What you could then do is replace the substring " & FirstName & " in getMessage.message with the variable getUser.FName. The result would be something like

<CFQUERY Name="getUser" datasource="#application.dsn#">
SELECT fNname, lName, email, company, phone
FROM users
where userID = 1
</CFQUERY>
<cfset firstNameString = " " & trim(getUser.fName) & " ">

<cfquery name="getMessage" datasource="#application.dsn#">
select name, message
from messages
where messID = 1
</cfquery>
<table width="300" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" border="1">
<tr><td>
<cfoutput query="getMessage">
<cfset msg = replaceNoCase(message, '" & FirstName & "', firstNameString)>
#paragraphFormat(msg)#
</cfoutput>
</td></tr>
</table>
Having said that, there are still 2 things I fail to understand. Firstly, why loop across the query when there is just one row? Secondly, why do you save a static message in the database when you could just save it in the CFML code as a string variable?

How do I set a variable within a 'for' loop grid array

I'm afraid I'm stuck again!
The next stage in the animation that I'm working on, is to set up a boolean, 'drilled = false', so that all instances of the attachMovie ('openCircle') have a boolean 'drilled = false' associated with them. Then when someone clicks on one of the instances of the attachMovie ('openCircle'), the boolean becomes 'drilled = true', but only for that instance that has been clicked.
What I've done is to set the variable (boolean)(highlighted in bold below) within both 'for' loops within the grid array, but it just returns an undefined value. Do I need to setup a separate array? (see code below):-
//set up grid for solid array
var spacing:Number = 5.75;
var cols:Number = 20; // number of columns in grid
var rows:Number = 20; // number of rows in grid
var leftMargin:Number = 154;
var topMargin:Number = 169;
var depth:Number = 100; // starting point for depth
var drilled:Boolean;
for (i=1; i<=rows; i++) {
for (j=1; j<=cols; j++) {
          drilled[rows,cols]=false;
                    trace(drilled);
          current = attachMovie("openCircle_mc", "openCircle_mc"+i+"_"+j, depth++);
          current._x = leftMargin + ((i-1) * (spacing + current._width));
          current._y = topMargin + ((j-1) * (spacing + current._height));
          current.row=i;
          current.col=j;
//          current.oil = Math.floor(Math.random()*1.1); // about 1/10 objects have oil=1, 9/10 oil=0
          //open circle initially invisible, visible on rollOver
          current._alpha = 0;
          current.onRelease=function(){
                    trace(this.row+" "+this.col);
   current.drilled = true;
          current.onRollOver = function() {
                                 this._alpha = 100;
          current.onRollOut = function() {
                                 this._alpha = 0;
I'd be grateful for any help. Thanks.

I'm sorry for asking this question again, but I really need to have the 'drilled' variable to be available at all times outside the openCircle_mc, so if I can set up the 'drilled' variable as an array that would be good. Below is the code that isn't working:
/* set all values of 'drilled' to false */
var col:Number = 20; // number of columns in grid
var row:Number = 20; // number of rows in grid
for (g=1; g<=row; g++) {
          for (h=1; h<=col; h++){
                      drilled[g,h] = false;
Very many thanks

How to calculate a rolling average within SQL Server Compact

There are at least a dozen ways to skin this cat in regular SQL Server, but I am trying to solve this problem within the limitations of SQL CE. I have a table of stock values:
Stock, Date, Open, High, Low, Close
and I want to add 1 column "RollingAVG" which is simply the AVG(Close) over a specified timeframe (say 30 days)
This code here works in SQL Server 2012 just fine (of course) but I need something that produces the same results in SQL CE. Any thoughts? Thanks!
SELECT b.Symbol,b.DateTrade, b.ValueClose,
(SELECT
AVG(a.ValueClose)
FROM
HistoryPrice a
WHERE
a.DateTrade >= DATEADD(d,-30,b.DateTrade)
AND a.DateTrade <= b.DateTrade
AND a.Symbol = b.Symbol
) as Rolling30Close
(SELECT
MIN(a.ValueLow)
FROM
HistoryPrice a
WHERE
a.DateTrade >= DATEADD(d,-30,b.DateTrade)
AND a.DateTrade <= b.DateTrade
AND a.Symbol = b.Symbol
) as Min30Day
(SELECT
MAX(a.ValueHigh)
FROM
HistoryPrice a
WHERE
a.DateTrade >= DATEADD(d,-30,b.DateTrade)
AND a.DateTrade <= b.DateTrade
AND a.Symbol = b.Symbol
) as Max30Day
FROM
HistoryPrice b
order by Symbol,DateTrade desc

Hi,
AVG function is supported in SQL Server Compact. However, embedded select clause is not supported in Visual Studio and a SQL Execution error will be thrown out.
I suggest you optimize your query. You can refer to the below code:

Accessing a javascript variable within a EL, does anyone ....

know how to do this.
I have a variable, say eventid, defined as:
<SCRIPT>
var eventid = "GA20045533";
</SCRIPT>
and a button defined as:
<hx:commandExButton >
<f:param id="param_eventID" name="eventID" value = "#{window.eventid}" ></f:param>
</hx:commandExButton>but this somehow fails. How can I access this variable within the EL for the param tag??

if you want to access the variable in the same page at the same time?
you can't
if you want to access the variable in other page? wich is called from the form? then you just call the parameter request.getParameter("province")
the value must be the same that the selected index, otherwise use a hidden input for store the selectedIndex

How to change the default directory from within SQL*Plus ?

Hello,
I want to change the default directory directly from within SQL*Plus to be able to launch my command files with simple instructions like :
@my_command.sql
If I haven't launched SQL*Plus from the directory containing the file my_command.sql, how do I change the default directory to the directory of my command files ?
I've searched through the Oracle documentation, there's no SET DEFAULTDIR or something like that. When I do a SHOW ALL, there's no variable containing the default directory.
If you have an idea...

Jérôme.

Hi JÃ©rÃ´me (Jé²´me ?),
You cannot directly do that, but you can use @@ instead of @ to run subscripts in the same directory as the superscript

prompt call y

How to insert, as an input variable within formula, the total time window on scope?

How to insert, as an input variable within formula, the total time window on scope (i.e. 20ms/div x 10 div = 200ms)?
BELOW IS AN EXAMPLE OF ISSUE:
FORMULA FOR ACTION INTEGRAL:
STATISTICS:
Input variable: DPO4034(CH1);
Check Box: number of samples.
FORMULA
Input variable 0: DPO4034(CH1); alias: x0
Input variable 1: "Total Time Window on Scope???"; alias: x1
Input variable 2: Number of Samples (CH1); alias: x2
Under Operation Setup: Formula
Y= (x0^2)*(x1/x2)
Output: Processed Data 1 (CH1)
THEN USING STATISTICS:
Input signal: Processed Data 1 (CH1)
Check Box: SUM
Output: CH1 Action Integral [A^2s]
Solved!
Go to Solution.

Hi again Catherine,
I have now added another TekScope (TDS3032B) along with the DPO4034 and run the same work-around on the TDS3032B using CH1 as the "real" signal channel and CH2 as the "burst width" channel. However, the value returned for CH2 is nominally 99E+36 (min 99E+36, max 99E+36) with very few retrievals of correct burst width (~200ms). Seems the SignalExpress program is unable to consistently retrieve from TDS3032B the actual burst width (scope's time scale/window) and defaults to 99E+36 value. Any ideas on what is occurring and how to make it work? Attached are some screen captures to help guide discussion.
Regards,
Michael

How can I set a variable number of values in a SQL IN clause?

Hi,
How can I set a variable number of values in a SQL IN clause without having to change the text of the SQL statement each time?
I read the link http://radio.weblogs.com/0118231/2003/06/18.html. as steve wrote.
SELECT *
FROM EMP
WHERE ENAME IN (?)
But we need the steps not to create type in the system and would there be any other solution if we would like to use variable number of values in a SQL IN clause ?
We are using JDeveloper 10.1.3.2 with Oracle Database 10.1.3.2
Thanks
Raj

Hi,
can you please explain why the solution from steve is not the right solution for you.

How to get value of process variable in another flex form

Hi,
currently we are using Flex 3 for form development in LiveCycle ES workspace.
We have got an "Assign Task" service operation. This service operation has got a process variable defined for "input" and "output".
The service will be called in a flex form. When the process is called a task will be sent to a user.
When the user opens this task another flex form will be opened. All these steps work fine!
How it's possible to get the value of the defined process variable from the first flex form (which starts the process)
to the flex form which will be displayed when the user opens the task?
Thanks very much for your help!
Holger

Solutions:
-The 'proper' way for application specific stuff is to use a properties file, not env vars.
-Use System.getenv(), only works for versions before 1.3
-Use the java command line option '-D'
-Use Runtime.exec(), similar to the way you suggested.
-Use JNI.

With session.setAttribute("name",object) you can store a Attribute in the session object.
with session.getAttribute("name") you can get it.
That's it.
