How to become Oracle Functional Consutant

Hi
I want to switch over to Oracle Functional side. How should I start and what path should I adopt to become an Oracle Functional Consultant?
Thanx and regards.
Anand

Anand,
Try the following:
- Find an empty room in your office where you will be along.
- Sit down on a char and close you eyes.
- Say very slowly:
"I am not a technical Oracle Apps Consultant!"
"I am not a technical Oracle Apps Consultant!"
"I am not a technical Oracle Apps Consultant!"
"Now I am Functional Consultant!!!!"
Basically this is it. You are Oracle Functional Consultant after that procedure.
Let to be a bit more serious.
There is no such thing like Oracle Functional Consultant. Oracle Apps consist of 400+ modules. As functional consultant you can have expertise and knowledge in some of the modules and corresponding business fields. For example: HR, Payroll, AP, AR, CSC etc.
As you can see you need to be more specific, which module you would like to be an expert in.
There is a corresponding implementation guide in the Apps Docs set. I believe it would be a good starting point for you.
And very good luck to you.

How to call oracle Function which has If else condition in Data Template

Hi,
currently I am working on creating Data Template which uses a Oracle Function which I need to make use in my data template. But I have some confusions on using the same. Could anybody please help me in this regard.
I have a function like this,

I have created data template like following,
<sqlStatement name="Q_INVOICE">
               <![CDATA[

</sqlStatement>
But how does I create a element for the "t1.ship_city || ', ' || t1.ship_state || ' ' || t1.ship_zip" column in the oracle function. I normally create an element like following,
<group name="G_INVOICE" source="Q_INVOICE">
               <element name="CUST_ORDER_NBR" value="cust_order_nbr"/>
               <element name=":dest_id" value="dest_id"/>
</Group>
But how do i create element if a column name is kind of dynamic. Please help. I cannot Rename/change the Column in SQL Query. Please let me know If I could handle this whole logic in BI Publsiher.

How to convert Oracle function in UDB

Hi ,
i am writing this function in oracle.Could you please convert this function in UDB because i am new in this and dont know how to use decode function in UDB
Please following is the code for oracle.
CREATE OR REPLACE function fun ( localex varchar2,titlex varchar2)
return number
as x number;
begin
select sum ( decode (count (username),max(prereq_count),1,0) ) x into x from
SELECT
prereq_count,
username
FROM
table1
group by username ;
return x;
end fun;
Regards
Vishal

First, you posted in the wrong forum for UDB, this is DB2 on z/OS
Secondly, your question is not SAP related (at least I can't see that).
Thirdly, you posted the same question for SQL-Server:

How to call oracle function from ejb3

i'm trying to call an oracle query-function from ejb3.
The oracle function:
create or replace FUNCTION getSecThreadCount(secId in NUMBER,avai in NUMBER)
RETURN SYS_REFCURSOR is cur SYS_REFCURSOR;
m_sql VARCHAR2(250);
BEGIN
m_sql:='select count(thrId) from thread where secId='|| secid||'
and thrAvai='|| avai;
open cur for m_sql;
return cur;
END;
I'v tried several ways to call it,but all failed:
1. the calling code:
public Object getSectionThreadCount(int secId,int avai){
          Query query=manager.createNativeQuery("{call getSecThreadCount(?,?) }");
          query.setParameter(1, secId);
          query.setParameter(2, avai);
          return query.getSingleResult();
but i got the exception:
Exception in thread "main" javax.ejb.EJBException: javax.persistence.PersistenceException: org.hibernate.exception.SQLGrammarException: could not execute query; nested exception is: javax.persistence.PersistenceException: org.hibernate.exception.SQLGrammarException: could not execute query

PLS-00221: 'GETSECTHREADCOUNT' not procedure or not defined
ORA-06550: row 1, col 7:

2. the calling code:
@SqlResultSetMapping(name = "getSecThreadCount_Mapping")
@NamedNativeQuery(name = "getSecThreadCount",
query = "{?=call getSecThreadCount(:secId,:avai)}",
resultSetMapping = "getSecThreadCount_Mapping",

          @QueryHint(name = "org.hibernate.readOnly", value = "true")})
public Object getSectionThreadCount(int secId,int avai){
          Query query=manager.createNamedQuery("getSecThreadCount");
          query.setParameter("secId", secId);
          query.setParameter("avai", avai);
          return query.getSingleResult();
but i run into the exception:
Exception in thread "main" javax.ejb.EJBException: javax.persistence.PersistenceException: org.hibernate.exception.SQLGrammarException: could not execute query; nested exception is: javax.persistence.PersistenceException: org.hibernate.exception.SQLGrammarException: could not execute query
javax.persistence.PersistenceException: org.hibernate.exception.SQLGrammarException: could not execute query
Caused by: java.sql.SQLException: lost in index IN or OUT parameter:: 3
By the way, i have successfully called the function from hibernate. And i use oracle 11g, JBoss5 RC1.
Could anyone tell me how to call the function from EJB3?
Thanks.

}Basically you just ignore the refcursor outbound parameter.
This is a stored function, have yet to try outbound refcursor parameters in stored procedures...

How to bring oracle function into ODI

Hi,
I have a oracle function which I have to bring into ODI, could you please let me know how to do that?
Thanks!
Regards,
Supreeth

Hi Supreeth ,
Before invoking a stored procedure from Oracle Data Integrator (ODI), run it outside ODI (i.e. SqlPlus), on the database, using the same database user as entered in the ODI Topology for this connection and make sure it is working properly .
Then, when invoking the stored procedure from Oracle Data Integrator (ODI):
1. Create an ODI Specific Procedure.
2. Insert a step and, in the "Technology" drill down box, choose the appropriate RDBMS. Leave the context to "<Execution Context>".
3. The precise syntax for calling RDBMS stored procedures in ODI may vary from one Technology to another one.
For Oracle technologies, the syntax is as follows:
BEGIN
<%=odiRef.getObjectName (pMode, My_Procedure, pLogicalSchemaName, pContextName, pLocation)%> (MY_PARAM1, MY_PARAM2...);
END;
where
* My_Procedure - is the stored procedure name
* MY_PARAM1, MY_PARAM2... - are stored procedure parameter values
* pMode, pLogicalSchemaName, pContextName, pLocation - are parameters of the getObjectName Substitution Method.
At my Oracle instance I have a function called MY_FUNCTION
So my syntax would be
<%=odiRef.getObjectName ("L","MY_FUNCTION","D")%>
Thanks,
Sutirtha

How to set Oracle function as a PreparedStatement parameter?

Hi all,
I was wondering if it is possible to use Oracle function as a PreparedStatement parameter? For example:
PreparedStatement pstmt = new PreparedStatement("update table set date=? where ...");
pstmt.set???(1, sysdate);I can put the function in the sql directly of course, but the parameter is depending on some condition. Any idea is greatly appreciated.
Joey

First, sysdate isn't a function, it's really a pseudo-value.
Second, it doesn't exist on the Java side, therefore it can't be bound via a set statement.
The correct and standard way is to put it in the SQL; if the use of sysdate is conditional, you can:
1) embed the conditionality in the SQL, e.g.:
PreparedStatement pstmt = new PreparedStatement("update table set date= decode( ?, 0, ?, 1, sysdate, sysdate) where ...");2) for more complex conditionality, define a custom function and embed that in your SQL
3) do it on the Java side and use more than one preparedstatement

How to use oracle functions in Crystal Reports XI using Oracle Server

Hi all,
Is it possible to use oracle functions in Crystal Reports XI using Oracle Server as Data Source.
If i try to use a procedure,i am getting error with message "Invalid Arguement Provided".
Functions are not visible objects like tables,views and stored procedures.
The jdbs driver i m using is oracle.jdbc.driver.OracleDriver.

I think it is not possible to add functions in crystal directly for any database. You need to use those functions in a stored procedure and add that storedprocedure as a datasource.

How to use complex function as condition in Oracle Rule Decision Table?

How to use complex function as condition in Oracle Rule Decision Table?
We want to compare an incoming date range with the date defined in the rules. This date comparison is based on the input date in the fact & the date as defined for each rule. Can this be done in a decision table?

I see a couple of problems here.
First, what you posted below is not a syntactically valid query. It seems to be part of a larger query, specifically, this looks to be only the GROUP BY clause of a query.

As you discovered, if you attempt to do so, you'll find it doesn't work. If you stop and think about how SQL is processed, it should make sense to you why the SQL is not valid.
If you want to apply a filter condition such as:
trunc(max(RD.DATERECEIVED)) BETWEEN TO_DATE('01/08/2011','DD/MM/YYYY') AND TO_DATE('01/08/2011','DD/MM/YYYY')you should do it in a HAVING clause, not a where clause:

group by ....
having max(some_date) between this_date and that_date;Hope that helps,
