How to set pl/sql function as background job in apex?

Hi,
I wrote a function which returns boolean value based on result.This function updates a table everyday.How to set this as a background job?or do I need to use dbms_job only?
Thanks,
Mahender.

No, you can use APEX_PLSQL_JOB.
Example:
DECLARE
l_sql VARCHAR2(4000);
l_job NUMBER;
BEGIN
l_sql := 'BEGIN MY_PACKAGE.MY_PROCESS; END;';
l_job := APEX_PLSQL_JOB.SUBMIT_PROCESS(
p_sql => l_sql,
p_status => 'Background process submitted');
--store l_job for later reference
END;

If I help you, please stamp my answer as CORRECT or HELPFULL :)

How to call a SQL function from an XSL expression

Hi
In R12, in Payroll Deposit adivce/Check writer, We need to sort the earnings tag <AC_Earnings> in to two different categories as regular and other earnings. In the DB and form level of element defintiion we have a DFF which differentiates between the two kinds of earnings. But the seeded XML that is gerneated by the check writer does not have this field.
The seeded template displays all the earnings in one column. How can we achieve this in the template without modifying the seeded XML.
The one approach i have is to write a function and based on the return value sort the data. For this I need to know :

How to set a image as a background in a frame

How to get the SQL Signon that Agent Jobs "Run As" or "Executed as User"

How to get the SQL Signon that Agent Jobs "Run As" or "Executed as User"?
I have an install SQL scripts that creates a Linked Server. I want to put some security on the Linked Server and only grant the Agent Job Signon (the "Run As" or "Executed as User") access to the linked server. I need to retrieve the
Agent Job Signon (something like "NT SERVICE\SQLAgent$FIDEV360BI02").
I could query certain jobs and SUBSTRING the Message column - using some form of the query below, which would return "Executed as user: NT SERVICE\SQLAgent$SSDEVBI02. The step succeeded." But that is pretty imprecise.
use msdb
SELECT [JobName] = JOB.name,
[Step] = HIST.step_id,
[StepName] = HIST.step_name,
[Message] = HIST.message,
[Status] = CASE WHEN HIST.run_status = 0 THEN 'Failed'
WHEN HIST.run_status = 1 THEN 'Succeeded'
WHEN HIST.run_status = 2 THEN 'Retry'
WHEN HIST.run_status = 3 THEN 'Canceled'
END,
[RunDate] = HIST.run_date,
[RunTime] = HIST.run_time,
[Duration] = HIST.run_duration,
[Retries] = HIST.retries_attempted
FROM sysjobs JOB
INNER JOIN sysjobhistory HIST ON HIST.job_id = JOB.job_id
-- CHANGE THIS
-- WHERE JOB.name like '%GroupMaster%' or Job.name like '%etlv%'
ORDER BY HIST.run_date, HIST.run_time

by default all sql jobs are executed as sql server agent account, unless otherwise a proxy is setup.
you can get the proxy information as Olaf mentioned, if the proxy_id is null for the step, it implies that the job step was executed as sql server service account and in such case it will be null
so, if it is null, it ran as sql server agent account.
so, one work around is get the sql server agent service account and if the proxy is null, that means it ran as sql server agent account, so, use isnull function. the disadvantage would be if the sql server agent account was switched, you might not get the
accurate information as the new account will show up though the job really ran as old account, to get this information, you need to get this from the logmessage column as you mentioned above.
try this code...
/*from sql 2008r2 sp1, you get the service accounts using tsql,otherwise you have to query the registry keys*/
declare @sqlserveragentaccount varchar(2000)
select @sqlserveragentaccount= service_account
from sys.dm_server_services
where servicename like '%sql%server%agent%'
select message,isnull(name,@sqlserveragentaccount) as AccountName
from sysjobhistory a inner join sysjobsteps b
on a.step_id=b.step_id and a.job_id=b.job_id
left outer join sysproxies c on c.proxy_id=b.proxy_id
Hope it Helps!!

Help w/MaxDB Function; also: how does the "Debug SQL" function work?

Hi there forum folks,
In my former life, I was a Basis guy, but I haven't had the pleasure of working directly with SAP applications in a few months. My current project is to attempt to use MaxDB in a real estate environment. We're tracking home listings so that we can build statistical reports... such as "what agents are in the Top 100 in postal code X?"
Anyway, as part of this project, I have attempted to construct my very first MaxDB database function. Unfortunately, it doesn't give me the answers I'm hoping to see. Here's the function:
CREATE FUNCTION COUNT_LISTINGS (AGENTID CHAR(10)) RETURNS FIXED(6,1) AS
VAR COLISTINGAGENTID CHAR(10);
      LISTINGAGENTID   CHAR(10);
      MLSNUMBER        CHAR(7);
      UNITS            FIXED(6,1);
SET UNITS = 0;
DECLARE FUNCTIONRESULT CURSOR FOR
    SELECT MLSNUMBER,
           LISTINGAGENTID,
           COLISTINGAGENTID FROM FREDDIE.GLAR_SOLDS
     WHERE LISTINGAGENTID = :agentid OR COLISTINGAGENTID = :agentid;
IF $COUNT IS NULL THEN
    BEGIN
      CLOSE FUNCTIONRESULT;
      RETURN UNITS;
    END
ELSE
    SET $RC = 0;
WHILE $RC = 0 DO BEGIN
    FETCH FUNCTIONRESULT INTO :mlsnumber, :listingagentid, :colistingagentid;
    IF ( LISTINGAGENTID   = AGENTID AND COLISTINGAGENTID IS NULL ) OR
       ( COLISTINGAGENTID = AGENTID AND LISTINGAGENTID   IS NULL ) THEN
      SET UNITS = UNITS + 1
    ELSE
      SET UNITS = UNITS + 0.5;
END;
CLOSE FUNCTIONRESULT;
RETURN UNITS;
I've tried to follow the official MaxDB documentation. My first deviation from that standard was the use of the "$COUNT" variable (instead of the "$RC" variable) immediately after the DECLARE/SELECT statement above. When I tried to use $RC, for either a successful or unsuccessful query, $RC was always set to a non-zero value.
I believe I'm past that, but now my issue is down around that FETCH statement. The UNITS variable doesn't end up with the value I expect. I know that it can be terribly confusing to try to analyze someone else's logic, but here's a brief narrative that describes what I'm trying to do...
The GLAR_SOLDS table holds one line for each home sold. It's keyed by the MLSnumber. Each record also stores up to four agents who've been involved in the transaction: the listing agent, the co-listing agent, the selling agent, and the co-selling agent. The database function I've written above pertains to the listing side only. If I can get this to work, a separate function will process the selling side. If no co-listing agent is involved in a given sell, that agent should get credit for 1 unit sold. If he/she has help from a co-listing agent, the agent should only get credit for 1/2 unit sold.
Also, does anyone know how the "Debug SQL" functionality is supposed to work within Database Studio? When I right-mouse click on my function, and follow the path thru "Debug As...", after entering the connection & function arguments, I'm presented with an empty screen. If you could point me to some documentation somewhere, I'd gratefully read it.
I'm using MaxDB 7.7.06.09 on Windows XP (WIN32) with MaxDB Database Studio 7.7.06.09 (build 009-123-202-944).
Thanks everyone for your help & advice.
~Fred

Fred,
please either provide the full SQL statements for your example or stick with mine.
I'm not going to build it up myself a second time to suit yours now.
> But now, my issue is how do I store the resultant data in its own table?
So where is the problem?
INSERT INTO <target table> (field 1, field 2, ...) (<your query>) UDPATE DUPLICATES-
With my tables this looks like this:
create table sell_result (list_agent varchar(20) primary key, SUM_CREDIT fixed (10,2))
insert
into sell_result (list_agent,sum_credit)
    ( select list_agent, sum (credit) as SUM_CREDIT
      from ( select sh.object_id,lag.name as list_agent, 1 as credit
             from soldhomes sh join agents lag on lag.id = sh.list_agent_id
            union all
             select sh.object_id, lag.name as list_coagent, 0.5 as credit
             from soldhomes sh join agents lag on lag.id = sh.list_coagent_id
      group by list_agent
update duplicates
Check what we have now
sqlcli db770=> select * from sell_result
| LIST_AGENT           | SUM_CREDIT        |
| -------------------- | ----------------- |
| Lars                 |              4.50 |
| Lisa                 |              3.00 |
| Mona                 |              2.50 |
| Paul                 |              2.50 |
4 rows selected (600 usec)
Now add some sales data...
Insert into soldhomes values (11, 1, 2, NULL, NULL)
Insert into soldhomes values (12, 2, NULL, NULL, NULL)
Insert into soldhomes values (13, 2, NULL, NULL, NULL)
Re-run the INSERT command and you're done:
sqlcli db770=> select * from sell_result
| LIST_AGENT           | SUM_CREDIT        |
| -------------------- | ----------------- |
| Lars                 |              5.50 |
| Lisa                 |              3.00 |
| Mona                 |              5.00 |
| Paul                 |              2.50 |
4 rows selected (390 usec)
Neat, isn't it?

Hi,
Thanks for the reply and you are correct, I am using BADI and I am calling this BAPI inside the method.
Now I am trying to execute this BAPI from SE38 and I am getting the error message, "Error in processing ,Function was not executed". I am able to see this message in the return parameter of the BAPI (Error type - 'E'). And it is giving dump after the call to BAPI_TRANSACTION_COMMIT.

How to set Query SQL Statement parameter dynamically in Sender JDBCAdpter

Hi All,
I have one scenario in which we are using JDBC Sender Adapter.
Now in this case,we need to set Query SQL Statement with a SELECT statement based on some fields.
This SQL statement is not constant, it would need to be changed.
Means sometimes receiver will want to execute SQL statement with these fields and sometimes they will want to execute it with different fields.
We can create separate channels for each SQL statement but again that is not an optimum solution.
So ,I am looking out for a way to set these parameters dynamically or set SQL statement at Runtime.
Can you all please help me to get this?

Shweta ,
<i>Sometimes receiver will want to execute SQL statement dynamically</i>....
How you will get the query dynamically? Ok Let me assume, consider they are sending the query through file, then its definitely possible. But u need BPM and also not sender JDBC receiver adapter instead, receiver JDBC adapter.
SQL Query File ->BPM>Synchronous send [Fetch data from DB]--->Response -
>...............
Do u think the above design will suit's ur case!!!!
Best regards,
raj.

How to use Pl/Sql function in Discoverer report

Hi Everybody,
Would you be able to provide a workflow/guidance how to use sql function in Discoverer right from creating the function using PLSQL Developer.
(I am new to Oracle environment... prev. worked as analyst with Microsoft Access... took PL/Sql class in school a few years ago)
We are using Discoverer Desktop.
a) Just emailed dba for permission to create pl/sql function.
b) Recently got Discoverer Administrator installed on my pc.
can you pls add to the list:
c)....
d)....
etc.?
tx for your help, sandra

Hi Kranthi,
Thx for your warm words....
The links you provided are great! Thx soooo much!
Thanks to you and the rest of forum members, am able to use what you've all taught me
with other Discoverer reports.... so i was able to do more on my own....
About a month ago, I got access to Discoverer Admin, and was able to paste SQL to create a custom folder.
Then i joined the custom folder to an existing baseline folder.
I have found that sometimes when I use calc within a calc when the calcs use analytic functions, that Discoverer
just displays null in the column. I thought that maybe instead I could create my own function as a work-around.
I wrote IT for permissions to create views, functions etc. Hopefully, they'll approve and can move toward learning
pl/sql functions for Discoverer.
tx again, sandra

How to call pl/sql function from element values

EBS 11.5.10.2
XMLP 5.6.3
Hello,
I noticed that the output of the rdf-to-data template conversion process makes use of an undocumented feature of data templates, and I would like to get input from experts as to which situations this feature is usable.
The closest thing I can find in the documentation is a sample in the user guide. There is a "General Ledger Journals Data Template Example" that has a <dataStructure> section that contains <element> nodes which are NOT children of a <group> node. I can't find any explanation of this in the user guide.
I've noticed from converted templates that in these un-grouped elements you can make calls to PL/SQL functions in the "value" attribute, like this:
<dataStructure>
<group name="G_LINES" source="Q_MAIN">
    <element name="Line_Num"           value="Line_Num"/>
</group>
<element name="C_CALCULATED_VALUE" dataType="number" value="XX_CUSTOMPROCS.SOME_FUNCTION"/>
</dataStructure>Has anyone had any success being able to call PL/SQL functions from grouped elements? Whenever I try, it doesn't seem to work.
When I try something like this:
<dataStructure>
<group name="G_LINES" source="Q_MAIN">
    <element name="Line_Num"           value="Line_Num"/>
    <element name="some_calculation"   value="XX_CUSTOMPROCS.SOME_FUNCTION"/>
    <element name="some_calculation_b" value="XX_CUSTOMPROCS.SOME_FUNCTION_B(:Line_Num)"/>
</group>
<element name="C_CALCULATED_VALUE" dataType="number" value="XX_CUSTOMPROCS.SOME_FUNCTION"/>
</dataStructure>The <SOME_CALCULATION/> and <SOME_CALCULATION_B/> nodes come out empty in the output data xml file, but <C_CALCULATED_VALUE> would have a value as desired.

ah - perfect. That makes sense. Thank you for the response!
But what about when we need to pass parameters to those functions whos values are the results of aggregate element values?
This happens a lot in the converted data templates, where pl/sql package functions are meant to replace formula columns from the original Oracle Report. Take this example from the conversion of ARXAGMW.rdf (Aging Report, 7 Buckets):
(note the function call in the value of "Set_Percent_Inv_Inv" is using aggregate results from subgroups)
<group name="G_INV_INV" dataType="varchar2" source="Q_Invoice">
    <element name="Total_Inv_Inv_Amt" function="sum" dataType="number" value="G_Invoice.C_Amt_Due_Rem_Inv"/>
    <element name="Total_Inv_Inv_B0" function="sum" dataType="number" value="G_Invoice.C_Inv_B0"/>
    <element name="Total_Inv_Inv_B1" function="sum" dataType="number" value="G_Invoice.C_Inv_B1"/>
    <element name="Total_Inv_Inv_B2" function="sum" dataType="number" value="G_Invoice.C_Inv_B2"/>
    <element name="Total_Inv_Inv_B3" function="sum" dataType="number" value="G_Invoice.C_Inv_B3"/>
    <element name="Total_Inv_Inv_B4" function="sum" dataType="number" value="G_Invoice.C_Inv_B4"/>
    <element name="Total_Inv_Inv_B5" function="sum" dataType="number" value="G_Invoice.C_Inv_B5"/>
    <element name="Total_Inv_Inv_B6" function="sum" dataType="number" value="G_Invoice.C_Inv_B6"/>
    <element name="Set_Percent_Inv_Inv" dataType="number" value="XX_CUSTOMPROCS.XXC_ARXAGMW.set_percent_inv_invformula(:Total_Inv_Inv_Amt, :Total_Inv_Inv_B0, :Total_Inv_Inv_B1, :Total_Inv_Inv_B2, :Total_Inv_Inv_B3, :Total_Inv_Inv_B4, :Total_Inv_Inv_B5, :Total_Inv_Inv_B6)"/>

    <group name="G_Cust_Inv" dataType="varchar2" source="Q_Invoice">
      <group name="G_Site_Inv" dataType="varchar2" source="Q_Invoice">
        <group name="G_1" dataType="varchar2" source="Q_Invoice">
          <group name="G_Invoice" dataType="varchar2" source="Q_Invoice">
            <element name="C_Amt_Due_Rem_Inv" dataType="number" value="C_Amt_Due_Rem_Inv"/>
            <element name="C_Inv_B0" dataType="number" value="C_Inv_B0"/>
            <element name="C_Inv_B1" dataType="number" value="C_Inv_B1"/>
            <element name="C_Inv_B2" dataType="number" value="C_Inv_B2"/>
            <element name="C_Inv_B3" dataType="number" value="C_Inv_B3"/>
            <element name="C_Inv_B4" dataType="number" value="C_Inv_B4"/>
            <element name="C_Inv_B5" dataType="number" value="C_Inv_B5"/>
            <element name="C_Inv_B6" dataType="number" value="C_Inv_B6"/>
          </group>
        </group>
      </group>
    </group>
</group>
...All of these groups and sub-groups are based on one single query, so I am not sure how I would move the function call into the query without changing the results of the function.
In the example above, elements Sum_Percent_B0_Inv through Sum_Percent_B6_Inv grab the results of the calculation done in set_percent_inv_invformula. Here is the essence of that function:
sum_percent_b0_inv := ROUND ((total_inv_inv_b0 / total_inv_inv_amt) * 100, 2);
sum_percent_b1_inv := ROUND ((total_inv_inv_b1 / total_inv_inv_amt) * 100, 2);
sum_percent_b2_inv := ROUND ((total_inv_inv_b2 / total_inv_inv_amt) * 100, 2);
sum_percent_b3_inv := ROUND ((total_inv_inv_b3 / total_inv_inv_amt) * 100, 2);
sum_percent_b4_inv := ROUND ((total_inv_inv_b4 / total_inv_inv_amt) * 100, 2);
sum_percent_b5_inv := ROUND ((total_inv_inv_b5 / total_inv_inv_amt) * 100, 2);
sum_percent_b6_inv := ROUND ((total_inv_inv_b6 / total_inv_inv_amt) * 100, 2);The only solution I can think of is to have separate queries, one for each subgroup, that do the "sum" in sql; but that seems terribly inefficient.

How to use PL/SQL Function after registering

Hi,
I have successfully registered a PL/SQL Function within Discw Admin. But i don't know how to use it further??? Please let me know the steps to use it in folders (admin) or in plus.
Actually i have a stored procedure which fetches the records from the base tables and i have to develop a report based on that data.
Please reply ASAP.
Thanks,
Jay

Hi Jay,
If this function is a stored procedure in the right schema, you can access this function in your custom SQL like any other database functions (e.g. SUM, AVG, MAX, etc).
If you are not using a custom folder (ie. your own SQL), you can access this function in the workbook (Tools --> Calculations --> New Button --> Select Function Radio Button --> All Functions or Database Folders.). This calculation wil become a new column in the workbook.

John
