How to pass XDIM_MEMBERSET scope to SQL?

Hi all.
I need to run a script, based on the entries that were just entered by users, from a BPC Input Schedule.
Basically, I need to call an SQL script from default logic.  (SQL 2008 R2), BPC 7.5 SP7.
However, I need to also be able to pass the scope outlined by XDIM_MEMBERSET in the default logic.
I have tried using the information from both
How to Pass Data Manager Selections(Scope) to Stored Procedure - SAP BPC MS
and
SAP BPC MS: Passing Data Manager Selection (Scope) to SSIS Package
but both of those only appear to work from user prompts (selection box), whereas I need something that works whenever a user hits SEND on an input schedule.
Can anyone give me any pointers?
The closest I can get so far is that there seems to be both a %SELECTION% and a %TOSELECTION% variable that appear to contain what I need, but I now need some way to send that scope to either a variable or a temporary table in SQL.
Thanks
Craig

Hi Craig,
don't use the document of Vadim if you are on MS version, script has different in NW version also in the behaviour so you can have some problem.
Don't use *XDIM_MEMBERSET in default logic, this routine will be execute on every send data and you will force some scope also when the data has another scope.
You can use *XDIM_FILTER and after *RUN_STORED_PROCEDURE=<your stor proc>('%CATEGORY_SET%', etc.) to run this stored procedure only in  if the dimension(s) is specified in the filter.
e.g.
*XDIM_FILTER ENTITY=[ENTITY].[h1]properties("IDCODE")="XXXX"
*XDIM_FILTER CATEGORY=[CATEGORY].[H1].properties("IDCODE")="ACTUAL"
*RUN_STORED_PROCEDURE=mySTPR([APPSET], '%TIME_SET%', [%SCOPETABLE%], [%LOGTABLE%])  (this is just an example don't know your parameter of the s.p.)

  • How to Passing clob to PL/SQL pipeline function

    I have a PL/SQL stored function which takes clob as input parameter and sends the results in a pipe line.

    Please any one can help me how to solve this.
    Thanks in advance.

    Hóla LuÃs,
    when you pick the PL/SQL function body returning a boolean, it implicitly means that TRUE means OK, while FALSE means error, always.
    In order to associate such error to a given form field, you have to go back to the page definiton / validations and specify the name of the item in the corresponding field.
    When you first create the validation rule, this value is not present even if you ask for the error message inline with the field.
    The error message text can be specified in the validation definition, if I am not wrong.
    When you need to return special error messages, including dynamic content for instance, you can use the Function Returning Error Message type, which reports an error when the string returned by the function is not null. This comes in handy when you want to display an item's code, for example, rather than generic text.
    Even in this case, you must go back to the validation and specify the name of the field if you want to see it inline.
    Hope it helps,
    Flavio

    You will see this error if the search condition was entered with an invalid or missing relational operator.
    You need to include a valid relational operator such as
      =, !=, ^=, <>, >, <, >=, <=, ALL, ANY, [NOT] BETWEEN, EXISTS, [NOT] IN, IS [NOT] NULL, or [NOT] LIKE in the condition. in the sql statement.
    Can you throw some more light on how are you designing your project?

  • How to pass two parameters to sql query

    I try to create a sql script to update two columns in one table. I want to set it as parameter. When people execute this sql script, they need to pass parameter into sql query, then query will be executed successfully. The problem is I am only able to pass one parameter. If set two parameters in one line code, it will get ORA-00933 errors. Please advice me where I was wrong. The code is simple and like this:
    update MY_TABLE set year = &year AND month = &month where application_type = 'xxxx';
    If I only have: update MY_TABLE set year = &year where application_type = 'xxxx'; It works. If I set two parameters to pass value. It will get error.

    Hi,
    When you UPDATE two or more columns in the same statement, use ',' instead of 'AND' to separate them:
    update  MY_TABLE
    set     year = &year
    ,       month = &month
    where   application_type = 'xxxx';The correct syntax for all SQL statements, including UPDATE, can be found in the [SQL Language manual|http://download.oracle.com/docs/cd/B28359_01/server.111/b28286/statements_10008.htm#sthref9598].

  • How to pass parameters to a SQL query or Data template

    Hi,
    The requirement is that my final report will take 'date' as input from the user and print only those records which have date later than the user-supplied 'date'. ('Date' is a field in the database).
    I know the way to achieve this is to use user-defined parameters.
    I have read the user guide, and have created user parameters. From the user guide: "The Report Editor allows you to define your query, define
    the parameters that you want users to pass to the query,..."
    However there is no example given. (I could not find).
    Any guidance?

    So, I have noticed that, Where ever a STRUCTURE is involved in external routine, there is a problem. I want to know, How to implement functions with STRUCTURE as OUT parameter.
    Forgot to mention: This is my FILETIME object which corresponds to FILETIME structure of win32.The problem is that this passes the parameter by reference and not value. In a vanilla C/C++/Delphi program, you will create a variable of that struct and then pass a long pointer to that variable when making the API call. That pointer will be dereferenced and the memory it points to, populated. This is not a problem as the underlying DLL you call that does this, uses your process's data segment.
    Extproc is different. In order to protect the integrity of the database server process, an external call is done by a "proxy" process. It acts as the interface between your PL/SQL code and the actual external call.
    In this case, this "proxy" process will be doing the implicit LoadLibrary() call to load kernel32.dll interface - and the DLL will expect to dereference and access this process's memory struct to populate it. This "proxy" process in turn needs to know that despite it calling the interface by reference, it needs to return that parameter to PL/SQL by value - as your PL/SQL code cannot dereference a pointer passed back by that "proxy" process and access its memory to gain access to that struct.
    In basic terms - that argument is a 32 bit number containing a pointer. That is what the "proxy" process needs to pass to the interface call. Your code is passing a struct and not a pointer, right?
    And that is the basic problem I believe. How to address this.. not sure. You can have your own DLL as interface that does not use pointers but expect arguments to be passed by value. But this will suck as you then need to include a custom DLL to deploy and have PL/SQL call that, instead of simply accessing and calling the native kernel interface.
    Doubt that many Win32 programmers with OCI (Oracle Call Interface) frequents this forum. So perhaps this is not the best place to ask. I would be hitting Metalink (support.oracle.com) search function in your sho3s though as there should be support notes dealing with this subject matter.

  • How to pass parameter value as "where [fieldname] = [fieldvalue]" in sql query under query type in SSRS report?

    I am having trouble with passing dynamic string to sql query for executing SSRS reports.
    I am using oracle database and I want to pass where clause parameter as "where LAND_NR = 6" to my select query.
    For example: I want to execute Select * from employee :p_where.
    where p_where parameter holds value "where LAND_NR = 6"
    So it will treat as "Select * from employee where LAND_NR = 6" statement which will give me the list of records to display in my reports.
    But it's not taking correct sql command throwing an error as "SQLcommand not properly ended."
    How can I achieve this?

    You need to use dynamic sql
    But please keep in mind that since you're using Oracle you may be better off posting this in some Oracle forums
    This forum is specifically for SQL Server

  • How to pass 100+ tags in a single sql/tag query

    <b>In my current application I have to pass 180+ tags in a single query to retrieve data from iHistorian.
    I want to know how to pass more thatn 100 tags in a single SQL or TAG Query using OLEDB or UDC connectors.
    If anybody has done it in the past ,please share with me and also let me know how to do it</b>

    Currently you can only query a maximum of 128 tags, this is a hard limit and may be changed in future releases of xMII, but < 11.5 (im fairly sure 12 also) all have the limit of 128.
    As for iHistorian with the OLEDB UDS, you can write a query that would return over 128 queries becasue this is an input limitation on the UDSs. (PLEASE DON"T ASK US HOW TO WRITE iHistorian QUERIES... we aren't experts in iHistorian).
    Please note that though you can query over 128 tags, the performance may not be what you expect... This may take a very long time to return.

    Thanks in advance.

    Have you tried doing a google search on "SOAP_API.add_parameter" to see what comes back? I see a lot of hits come back so hopefully one of those will help you. I've never used soap_api as I used utl_http to make WS calls. This required me to build the SOAP message (aka XML of a specific nature) by hand and then pass it to the WS using utl_http. How this approach is done via SOAP_API, I can't say.
