Illegal use of sequence operator

Hi All,
In my map I am using a sequence in the expression operator and then I am putting the output to a joiner and after that data is moved to target table but while validating this map I am getting error:sequence operator r used in complex mapping which requires generation using nested subquery.sequences r not allowed to be used in nested subqueries. Can anyone tell me how can this issue be resolved.
Thanks n Regards,
Amrit

Hi,
You can try moving the Sequence operator after join, ie as a final step close to target.

  • VLD-1800: Illegal use of sequence operator(s)

    I'm getting the following error.
    VLD-1800: Illegal use of sequence operator(s)
    ["ACCT_SEQ"] in a complex mapping.
    Does anyone know why this wuld be happening?
    Also, what constitutes a complex mapping?
    Any help is greatly appreciated.

    Hi John,
    Can you explain what your mapping is supposed to execute (merge statement with sequence, multi table insert with sequence, ...) ?

  • Connecting the Sequence Operator to the Mapping Output Parameter?

    my OWB Client: 10.2.0.2.8
    my OWB Repository: 10.2.0.2.0
    I need to obtain a sequence number (from the Sequence Operator), then output it
    using the Mapping Output Parameter, if possible.
    I have tried two things:
    1. Connect Sequence Operator nextval variable to the Mapping Output Parameter.
    This generates error:
    "Table,View Or Sequence reference 'xx_SEQ.NEXTVAL' not allowed in this
    context"
    2. Join the Sequence Operator nextval variable with a source table, then
    connect a port from the dataflow to Mapping Output Parameter.
    This generates error:
    "Mapping Input Parameter and Mapping Output Parameter are intended to be
    executed before and after the data flow of the mapping and cannot accept
    inputs from any part of the data flow."
    From what I have seen so far, it appears it may not be possible to use the
    Sequence Operator along with the Mapping Output Parameter. If Im wrong, please
    let me know of an example of how the Sequence Operator and Mapping Output
    Parameter can be connected.
    Thanks

    User -
    Look at adding a Post-Mapping Process to your mapping, there you have a choice of built in functions or custom ones that could return a sequence value for you. You may have to create the sequence outside of OWB ...

  • How to use parallel sequence for split the operation qty. urgent or other o

    PP guru
    My scenario is as follows.
    I ve one material suppose…xyz.
    For that material I' ve created bom, routing.
    In routing I' ve mention only one operation. 0010.
    Now I' ve the production order of 1000 kg.
    I want to use two work centers to run this production order. ( e.g.work center a and b)
    In routing I used work center a.
    In short I want split that operation.
    So what I ve to do or use parallel sequence and how???
    or else is there any other option to split the order to two or more machines/work center?
    Pls explain me in brief.
    Regards,
    Ram

    Hi,
      If you want to carry the production with two different work centers , first you need to split the operation qty.
    For this in the order type dependent parameters OPL8
    in the controlling tab page enable the indicator Cost collector
    and set the default rule as PP2.
      Create a Product cost collector with KKF6N.
       Now in the production order , select the operation and choose functions--->>> split.
       Now enter the operation split quantity and execute.
       Now in MD04 you can see two production order.
       In the second production order change the work center in the operation overview as desired and save.

  • Programatically Loading Several Sequences Using LV Simple Operator Interface

    I am playing around with the supplied LV(2009) Simple Operator Interface for running TestStand (4.2) and hoping that someone can point me in the right direction.  I know this may be too generic for a concise solution, but hopefully I can get some suggestions on the best approach for this. Here is a short description of what I am trying to accomplish. 
    I am testing 2 unique UUTs on a single test fixture that is controlled by a PCI-7831R DAQ.  Each UUT will have a unique serial number and report generated.  Therefore, I am using 2 unique sequence files created using TestStand.  Basically, I want to be able to read in a barcode on the test fixture and have the operator interface load the 2 unique sequence files based on information contained in the barcode.  The operator will then hit a button to start the sequence file executions.  I want the first sequence file to run and test the first UUT.  Once the first sequence file is finished, I want the second sequence file to load and run on the second UUT.
    I can use the simple operator interface to load both sequence files.  I then have to select the combo box to select which one I want to run.  This works fine, however, I am trying to automate this so that the operator doesn't have to open the files and continually use the combo box to select sequence files.
    Any ideas or suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

    I have figured out a solution (for my initial application at least) of programmatically loading the sequence files.  When the operator interface first starts, there is a prompt where the user will scan a barcode that is loaded on the front of the fixture.  For all of our product lines, we will have a unique format for the fixture barcode.  Included in this barcode is a product specific software ID number.  I create a folder with the same software ID number and store the sequence files there.  I then parse the barcode and open all *.seq files in that folder.  I have this working correctly now. 
    Once the sequence files are opened, the user must scan each UUT ID barcode before installing them on the fixture.  The intent is to have both UUTs installed on the fixture at the same time so they can be tested serially.  If, however, they do not scan one of the UUTs, it will not be tested.  Basically this is due to the fact that they may want to run only a single board.  Once all of the UUT barcode scanning has been completed, I have another button that will execute the sequence files using the 'Single Pass' execution entry point.  I agree that the 'Single Pass' and 'Test UUTs' points should be hidden from the user.  Once the execute test(s) button is pressed, it will check each UUT barcode to make sure that it is valid.  If both UUT's have valid barcodes, it will run the first UUT and then the second using the 2 sequence files that were previously loaded, otherwise, it will run only one or the other.  The UUT(s) will then be removed and the process starts over again from the UUT ID barcode scanning.  They will not have to scan the fixture barcode again since the correct sequence files have already been loaded.
    Currently I have the UUT/Sequence File associations hard-coded in the UI.  I will need to put my thinking cap on so that as we increase the product lines (several are already in the pipeline) we can use the same UI without any modifications.  Scalability is King!

  • Confirmation of parallel sequence operation.

    Hello friends,
    I want to do confirmation of parallel sequence operation. I use 3 or5 work centers  at a time for doing one operation. So i have defined parallel sequences for standard sequence. When I do confirmation of quantity and activity time in CO11N for one parallel sequence, other sequence quantity and activity time should be decreased. But system takes actual  quantity and time.
    How to make settings , so that  quantity and activity values should be decreased automatically for next parallel sequence.
    Waiting for Reply!

    Dear ,
    You are not able get the paralle sequence operation in CO11N because production order will copy the Routing based on the Order Type dependent paramter-OPL8-Routing  set up.
    Here , basically , you might have chkeced Alternative Sequence  and Sequence Exchange field (0)  , so while creation production order , routing with operation which are in alternative sequnce will be copied  and will be used in CO11N confirmation.
    2.You need to maintain "Operation Sequence is not checked " for operation sequence for the Ordertype/Plant combination in confirmation parameters using transaction OPK4.-Confirmation parameters of Order
    Try and revert back

    Hello, good people. Please help!
    I am working on a project that consists of one .ai file that contains 27, letter sized art boards.
    I am using Adobe cs5-Illustrator on a macbook pro.
    I have opened and closed and save this file many, many times—I have been working on this for the last 2+weeks.
    Today, when I tried to open the file I received an error message that read: "can't open the illustration. the illustration contains an illegal operand. Offending operator '((((((((((((((((((((((( 1Gm
    A screen shot of the entire message is below. Can anyone please help me to ward of this "offending operator?"
    Thank you in advance.

    AAhlene,
    It is strange that the offending operation is not shown in context within the message.
    Are you saving to your own harddisk( see below)?
    One thing often tried first is to create a new document and File>Place the (PDF contents, if any, of the) corrupted one to see how much may be rescued that way.
    Here are some websites where you can see whether it can rescue the actual file, and if it can, you may pay for a subscription to have it done,

  • Use of Sequence in Match-Merge

    Dear All,
    I have a source table containing name and address data. I want to do householding, which means I need to split the data using a match-merge operator. The address data is the merged output, and the name data is the cross-reference output. All well and good so far.
    I want eventually to load the outputs into two levels of a Customer dimension (although for testing right now, I'm just using two ordinary target tables). I know that I will need a 'business key' to link the merged and the cross-reference outputs (as the two dimensional levels). I decide that I shall create a column in both outputs called HH_SEQ, and load this Household Sequence number from a Sequence (which I prepared earlier).
    In Merge Rules, for the Attribute HH_SEQ, I use a Rule Type of Sequence, and select the appropriate Sequence from the drop-down list box. I map this attribute in the MERGE outgroup to the appropriate column in the target merged table, and MM_HH_SEQ in the XREF outgroup to the appropriate column in the target cross-reference table.
    Here is the issue: to get HH_SEQ to be available as a potential Output Attribute in either Merge Output or Cross-Reference Output, it must first be present as a Source Attribute. Which means I had to add it to Input Attributes first. But of course it is not on my input source table! And thus I get a "VLD-1000 Input parameter INGRP1.HH_SEQ does not have input" warning.
    Either I'm just not understanding how to use the Sequence rule type properly (the documentation is pretty atrocious, mind), or there is some technique required here that is just not apparent from several days of experimentation.
    All help gratefully received!
    Regards,
    Donna
    p.s. it does actually compile and run just fine!

    Hi Donna
    I think you are using it in the correct way! I've seen other examples like this from the MM creators.
    The warning can be ignored, I think it is there to highlight a potential issue if it was being used for a scenario other than what you are doing.

  • Problems with Sequence Operator in OWB

    Hi everybody,
    i want to use a sequence in my mapping. Now i have two problems.
    The first problem is the following. When i want to import my sequence (exists on my DB) i can select the sequence in the Selection Window, but when i click on Import i didn't see it in the Design Center, also there is no window which tells me that i have successfully imported the sequence.
    The second problem is, when i drag the Sequence Operator into my Mapping i shows the Selection Window where i have to select the poject and object to bind the operator. But i can't select any object.
    Can anyone help me with my problems and tell me how i can use a Sequence and the Sequence Operator in my Mapping
    Many thanks in advance.
    Greetings

    Hi everyone!
    I'm having a repeated problem with sequences in OWB: I'm filling a TIME table with 1096 rows. Now matter how and when I create the sequence it always starts with 2 instead of 1. Moreover, the last value of the sequence is 1101, when it was supposed to be 1097 or 1098....
    I did achieve the right ouput sometimes, but I must be doing something wrong. Here are the several ways I've tried in OWB:
    1) I've created all the sequences by sql code, in SQL DEVELOPER or PLUS*, and then imported to OWB. Because of being imported, I didn't have to deploy each sequence. Then, I've connected (by drag and drop to the canvas mapping) the sequence I wanted with NEXTVAL (as I always do) attached do TIME_ID of table TIME;
    2) I've dropped and created, several times(as before), the sequences and never had problems..until now. I've also experimented creating, by scratch, the sequences just in OWB and then deploy them in Control Center. After this, deployed the mapping and executed, just like in 1).
    So, the difference lies on how I create the sequences and what are the correct steps to create, deploy (if needed), deploy the map and execute the map.
    This is insain and I really need this to work. I've tried so many ways....
    Could someone PLEASE help me with this? Any thoughts?

  • Preuut and postuut sequences are not executing when run using UI. They run when using the sequence editor.

    I am using TestStand 3.5 and LabVIEW 8 in a Windows XP environment.
    I have a sequence that runs properly when run from the sequence editor.  I have made a few minor mods to the simple Operator Interface that ships with TestStand.  When I run my sequence using the modified Operator Interface, the PreUUT and PostUUT sequences do not execute.  Only the main sequence executes.  This also happens when I run the demo sequences that ship with TestStand.
    What am I missing?

    Hi,
    It sound like you are executing the sequences without the process model, do you get a report at the end of the execution?
    What are these minor mods you have done?

  • Help:set up simple test sequence, operator selects particular test then teststand links to part of sequence file and performs test

    Hi,
    I am extremely new to TestStand, please see question below and offer advice.
    I want to set up a simple test sequence.
    I want a message to popup on screen that asks the operator which unit of 6(max 10) Units to test(i.e. there are say 6-10 box's to select from).
    Then the sequence goes to the particular part of the sequence and performs the test on which ever unit was selected.
    What is the best way to do this?
    Could i use message popups to do this?and if so what do i need to do link it to the correct part of the sequence file?
    Do message popups only allow 6 options to select from?
    Thanks,
    Solved!
    Go to Solution.

    Hi,
       You can do using message popup method. You can ask the user which unit want to execute by inserting message in message expression in message popup step settings.Something like below
    "Enter unit number to execute 
     1.  Unit1
     2.  Unit 2
     10. Unit 10"
    then check "Enable response text box" from options tab in step settings.When user enters unit number you can get the user entered value by inserting the below statement in post expression of message popup step settings
        Locals.String = Step.Result.Response 
        Note : String is a local variable to be defined.
    Convert that string in to number and send that output to switch expression there by you can use a sequence call step to call sequence whichever to be executed. (I hope your each unit will be seperate sequence file)
    I hope these resolves your problem. If you don't understand let me know so that I can develop a small example and send it to.

    First, it appears you have an illegal ASCII character after REWARDS - the "–" character.
    Did you SET ESCAPE ON ?
    Here is what I did after changing out the illegal character in SQL Developer, I executed it as a script.
    set escape on
    SELECT  'c' temp
            ,q'[Rewards-ALL (UK/IE,US,Germany \& China)]'  search_string
    FROM
             dual   ;
    TEMP SEARCH_STRING                         
    c    Rewards-ALL (UK/IE,US,Germany & China)I don't know why you are using the q operator. It is designed to eliminate the need for doubling up single quotes - the string you have does not have any quotes.

    How can I use Sequence Operator within a single mapping ???
    I get a single value with Sequence.NextVal. Then, I need to use this value for further operations in the same mapping. For example: use value to update target table(s), pass the value to Post-Mapping Operator, pass the same value to Mapping-Output Operator and so on.

    If all there is on the mapping is a sequence and a table, it looks as if he wants to use a single sequence value to either insert a single row to the table, or update the table with a single sequence nextval.
    This is a valid task, but not really the sort of bulk inserts/updates that mappings are designed to do.
    Assuming that I am correct, what I would suggest in this case, is replace the sequence with a constant of type number and set it's initial value via it's expression property to the sequence nextval. I would suggest making a database function such as:
    CREATE OR REPLACE FUNCTION get_next_sequence_number_fnc (sequence_name in varchar2)
    RETURN NUMBER PARALLEL_ENABLE
    IS
    retval number := null;
    BEGIN
    -- Sequence nextval wrapper to overcome SQL limitations on nextval
    execute immediate 'select '||sequence_name||'.nextval from dual' into retval;
    return retval;
    END;
    to do this task, so the Constant would get instatiated with an expression of get_next_sequence_number_fnc('your_sequence_name')
    I haven't worked a major project yet that didn't need to use a get_next_sequence_number_fnc function to be able to access a sequence in a normally disallowed part of a complex query, so it's a handy function to keep around.
    This will iterate once in the generated package specification, and then you could pass that variable value to both the table and post-mapping procedure without any problems.
