Importing a spreadsheet with value NULL

I have exported a query from a database into Excel and some of the values are NULL.
I am attempting to import this spreadsheet into SQL Server using SSIS 2012 (Data Tools). I have created a package that includes a source and a destination. In the source I select all of the fields. One of the rows contains a list of dates
and some NULL values. When I create a table I set this field's datatype to datetime, but when I attempt to carry out the import I receive an error message because the NULL value is in fact a text and not a blank value.
As a (not so) quick fix I have deleted all of the NULL values so that they are blank. This will import the data into the datetime field in my newly created table. Is there any way I can amend the package so that it will set NULL values into the
spreadsheet to a null in the database table.

Use the Derived Column Transformation in which set the incoming NULL to DBNULL
e.g isnull(column)?dbnull(dt_date):column

Can't import AppleWorks spreadsheet with Japanese

I can't import an AppleWorks spreadsheet with Japanese writing into Numbers. The fonts are all just like this.
Å@Å@â∫ãLÇÃÇ∆Ç®ÇËå©êœÇËÇ¢ÇΩÇµÇ‹Ç∑ÅB
In AppleWorks, the fonts are fine.

How do I get AppleWorks to export to TAB delimited?
Save As… text in the File Format drop-down menu. You will need to add the .txt extension to the file name. AppleWorks won't do it for you & Numbers may not recognize the file as one it can open without the extension.

When importing a spreadsheet with redeem codes into apple configurator, it says it's not the right codes for the app. But it is the right codes. I used one of the codes to purchase the app in itunes.

I have a cart of 25 ipads with a macbook air. I have logged into my VPP account and purchased the needed number of copies. I downloaded the spreadsheet. I took the first code from the spreadsheet, and logged into itunes using a regular account (not my VPP account), and used the code to download the app. I put the app into configurator and then tried to add the spreadsheet with the codes in it. It comes up and tells me that it is not the correct spreadsheet for that app. But it is the correct spreadsheet!! I tried re-downloading the spreadsheet again and even tried re-downloading the app. So I've now used two of my redeem codes and still can't get it to accept it into apple configurator. I removed the app from apple configurator and re-added it. The error message says it's not the right codes for the app "Grammar Games by Tap To Learn" and to please get the codes for "Grammar Games by Tap To Learn." It's the same one!

It won't let me edit my post, so I'm typing this reply to add...
I tried taking the version number out of the title. It looked like there were two spaces in the title "Grammar Games by Tap to Learn". So I even made sure that matched. I still can't import my codes. Any other things to try would be really appreciated.

0requid with value null

Hi Guys,
I have raise a doubt about null values in the 0requid. Currently, i have a cube that have been load, rollup and collapsed till a specif date and afterward only rollup have been done. In adition, the loads are deltas from an ods to this cube.
My doubt is how can affect this null values of the 0requid to my delta loads? How can affect rollup/collapsed processes to the delta load, because there are a mix between null 0requid and normal values in this field?
Thanks in advance for your collaboration.
Best Regards,

Hello
I'm using CMP EntityBean with WLS81 and Oracle DB. Now I have a finder method with two fields in the where clause. One of these two field can be null. But this isn't working. It seems like WLS is doing the following "....WHERE field1 = 'xxx' AND field2 = null". This isn't working in Oracle, it has to be like that: ".... AND field2 is null".
Could anybody confirm this behaviour and maybe tell me if this is a bug or not.
Regards,
StephanIt's standard SQL semantics. Null is defined as 'uncomparable' to other values, so
where XYZ = null will never be true. That's why they have 'is null'.

Can not import excel spreadsheet with more than one spreadsheet from an email

i get excel files sent to me all the time by email and have been able to open most of them. Went to a apple store and was told i needed to install numbers app on my iphone 4 to open them up because their was more than likely two or more work sheets in that file. i am on the road and can't get to my imac. I bought numbers did all the updates on the iphone and sync to itunes. it still cant open the spreadsheets if they have more than one work sheet. it does ask do you want to open in numbers i answer the question it starts the import then get error message spreadsheet couldn't be imported. the file format is invalid.
this is frustrating to by an app that was suggested by apple for the solution and it doesn't work.
by the way i have excel on the macbook pro and imac so that is not an issue need to be able to see on the phone while traveling.
by the way it says microsoft excel 97-2004 worksheet 16 kb open in "numbers"
Any suggestions

Hi Caroline
you should be able to apply the exact same principles to your multi query report. The XML will have a main root node and then the results of the queries underneath.
So if you had 3 queries you'd get something like
<REPORTNAME>
<G_FIRST_QUERY>
</G_FIRST_QUERY>
<G_SECOND_QUERY>
<G_SECOND_QUERY>
<G_THIRD_QUERY>
<G_THIRD_QUERY>
</REPORTNAME>
In the template you will be able to map on to the separate sections of the XML very easily.

The site is wrong and makes up its own terminology as it goes along.
If the value for clustering factor approaches the number of blocks in the base table, then the index is said to be clustered. http://www.oracle.com/pls/db112/search?remark=quick_search&word=clustered+index
There is no create clustered index in Oracle.
- Clustering factor affects the efficiency of an index.
- There can be clustered tables that you can create indexes on.
- An Index Organized table is a similar concept to the Microsoft SQL Server clustered index, but it isn't the same thing at all.

Problem in summation on a column with possible null values

Hi,
I want to do summation on a column.
If I use <?sum(amount)?>, if there is any null value,its giving NaN as output.
From the forum I got the below syntax
<?sum(AMOUNT[number(.)!='NaN'])?>
but it is also not giving me the expected result. Its always displays 0.
I want some thing like sum(NVL(amount,0)). Could some body please help me out?
Thanks in Advance,
Thiru

If the column has many, many null values, and you want to use the index to identify the rows with non-null values, this is a good thing, as a B*Tree index will not index the nulls at all, so, even though your table may be very large, with many millions of rows, this index will be small and efficient, cause it will only contain index entries for those rows where the column is not null.
Hope that helps,

Example program for returninng and importing with value addition

HI ,
I want few example programs on how to use the abap oops with returning addition and importing with value addition as Im getting syntax error for the Program when Im declaring them with these additions
Thnaks .

Hello,
This statement declares a general instance method meth. Use additions ABSTRACT and FINAL to make the method abstract or final.
The additions IMPORTING, EXPORTING and CHANGING define the parameter interface of the method. After every addition, the corresponding formal parameters are defined by a specification of the list parameters.
The other additions determine which exceptions the method can propagate or trigger and determine whether the method is abstract or final.
Note
Within a method, you can use the logical expression IS SUPPLIED to check whether an actual parameter was assigned to an optional formal parameter at the call.
Addition 1
... IMPORTING parameters PREFERRED PARAMETER p
Effect
IMPORTING defines input parameters. When calling the method, you need not specify an appropriate actual parameter for every non-optional input parameter. During the call, the content of the actual parameter is passed to the input parameter. The content of the input parameter - for which the reference transfer is defined - cannot be changed in the method.
Use PREFERRED PARAMETER to identify an input parameter p1 p2 ... of list parameters after IMPORTING as a preferred parameter. This specification makes sense only if all input parameters are optional. When calling the method with the syntax
CALL METHOD meth( a ).
the actual parameter a is assigned to the preferred parameter if you have appropriate use of a functional method at an operand position.
Addition 2
... EXPORTING parameters
Effect
EXPORTING defines output parameters. When calling the method, you can specify an appropriate actual parameter for every output parameter. The content of the output parameter - which is defined for value transfer - is passed to the actual parameter at the call after the method has been completed successfully.
Note
An output parameter that is defined for the reference transfer is not initialized when the method is called. Therefore, no read access to it should take place before the first write access.
Addition 3
... CHANGING parameters
Effect
CHANGING defines input/output parameters. When calling the method, you must specify an appropriate actual parameter for every non-optional input/output parameter. The content of the actual parameter is passed to the input/output parameter at the call, and after the method has been completed, the content of the input/output parameter is passed to the actual parameter.
Example
The method read_spfli_into_table of this example has an input and an output parameter, which are typed fully by reference to the ABAP Dictionary.
CLASS flights DEFINITION.
PUBLIC SECTION.
    METHODS read_spfli_into_table
       IMPORTING VALUE(id) TYPE spfli-carrid
       EXPORTING flight_tab TYPE spfli_tab.
ENDCLASS.
Addition 4
... RAISING exc1 exc2 ...
Effect
Use addition RAISING to declare the class-based exceptions exc1 exc2 ... that can be propagated from the method to the caller.
For exc1 exc2 ..., you can specify all exception classes that are visible at this position and are subclasses of CX_STATIC_CHECK or CX_DYNAMIC_CHECK. You must specify the exception classes in ascending order corresponding to their inheritance hierarchy.
Exceptions of the categories CX_STATIC_CHECK and CX_DYNAMIC_CHECK must be declared explicitly, otherwise a propagation results in a violation of the interface. An interface violation results in a treatable exception CX_SY_NO_HANDLER. Exceptions of category CX_NO_CHECK are always implicitly declared.
Notes
The declaration of exceptions of category CX_STATIC_CHECK is checked statically at the syntax check. For exceptions of category CX_DYNAMIC_CHECK, the check is executed at runtime.
In a method in which class-based exceptions are declared with the addition RAISING, you cannot use the statement CATCH SYSTEM-EXCEPTIONS. Instead, handle the relevant treatable exceptions in a TRY control structure.
Example
In class math, you can propagate all exceptions represented by class CX_SY_ARITHMETIC_ERROR and its subclasses from within method divide_1_by. If, for example, the input parameter operand is filled at the call with the value 0, then the exception CX_SY_ZERODIVIDE is triggered, propagated, and can, as shown in the example, be handled by the caller in a TRY control structure.
CLASS math DEFINITION.
PUBLIC SECTION.
    METHODS divide_1_by
       IMPORTING operand TYPE I
       EXPORTING result TYPE f
       RAISING   cx_sy_arithmetic_error.
ENDCLASS.
CLASS math IMPLEMENTATION.
METHOD divide_1_by.
    result = 1 / operand.
ENDMETHOD.
ENDCLASS.
START-OF-SELECTION.
DATA oref TYPE REF TO math.
DATA exc TYPE REF TO cx_sy_arithmetic_error.
DATA res TYPE f.
DATA text TYPE string.
CREATE OBJECT oref.
TRY.
    oref->divide_1_by( EXPORTING operand = 4
                       IMPORTING result = res ).
    text = res.
CATCH cx_sy_arithmetic_error INTO exc.
    text = exc->get_text( ).
ENDTRY.
MESSAGE text TYPE 'I'.
Addition 5
... EXCEPTIONS exc1 exc2 ...
Effect
Use addition EXCEPTIONS to define a list of non-class-based exceptions exc1 exc2..., which can be triggered with the statements RAISE or MESSAGE RAISING in the method. You specify identifiers exc1 exc2 ... for the exceptions to be defined at will and directly. Exceptions defined in this way are bound to the method - similar to formal parameters - and cannot be propagated.
If such an exception is triggered in a method and no return value has been assigned to it in the addition EXCEPTIONS of the CALL METHOD statement in the method call, then a runtime error occurs.
Note
The additions RAISING and EXCEPTIONS cannot be used simultaneously. For new developments starting at release 6.10, we recommend to use class-based exceptions, which are independent of the respective method.
Example
In the class math, for method divide_1_by an exception arith_error is defined, which is triggered in the method with the RAISE statement if an arithmetic error occurs. If, for example, the input parameter operand is filled with value 0 at the call, the exception arith_error is triggered in the method-internal handling of exception CX_SY_ZERODIVIDE and handled after the call of the method by evaluating sy-subrc.
CLASS math DEFINITION.
PUBLIC SECTION.
    METHODS divide_1_by
       IMPORTING operand TYPE I
       EXPORTING result TYPE f
       EXCEPTIONS arith_error.
ENDCLASS.
CLASS math IMPLEMENTATION.
METHOD divide_1_by.
    TRY.
        result = 1 / operand.
      CATCH cx_sy_arithmetic_error.
        RAISE arith_error.
    ENDTRY.
ENDMETHOD.
ENDCLASS.
START-OF-SELECTION.
DATA res TYPE f.
DATA oref TYPE REF TO math.
CREATE OBJECT oref.
oref->divide_1_by( EXPORTING operand = 4
                   IMPORTING result = res
                   EXCEPTIONS arith_error = 4 ).
IF sy-subrc = 0.

Import spreadsheet with non developer user rigths

Hi pals,
I'm trying to create simple application for importing data from spreadsheet with Import Utility but it's imposible if user is not with developer rigths. Users daaily have to import data from few spreadsheets and export part of these data in formated CSV files.
So, is Data Import/Export allowed only for developer rigths or is possibile to create funtionality for standart user to import data?
Best,
Kiril

Kiril -
There is an example application for this (copy and paste from Excel, that is) here:
http://www.oracle.com/technology/products/database/application_express/howtos/howto_create_upload_spreadsheet_form.html
It says it's specific to 1.6, although I'm sure it can be tweaked for 2.0 or 2.2. Even if not, it would certainly give you some ideas about how to do it.
Hope this helps.

John.

Security Attributes with Multiple/NULL values

I have a couple of situations where I can't seem to get the authorization component working as I need it to work for a database source.
1) In the first case, I have two attributes set for "grant security attributes" in the data source, one of which has a single attribute value, and the other which has multiple values, e.g.
I want to set "grant security attributes" to something like "client_id role_id" where for my dataset, client_id will always be a single numeric value, but I might have multiple role_ids that can view this record. How do I specify in my data source query those multiple attribute values? I tried separating them with spaces, e.g.
SELECT ...
'A B' role_id
FROM
where "A" and "B" represent unique values (looking to match A OR B). I also tried delimiting them with commas, but neither spaces nor commas seems to work consistently.
On the authorization end, using oracle.search.plugin.security.auth.db.DBAuthManager as the authorization plug-in, I have the authorization query set as
SELECT client_id, security_lvl as role_id from test_user_id where user_id = ?
Each user may have more than one role, so in the above query, security_lvl could be something like "B C"; I'm assuming from the documentation that the delimiter for attribute values in this case should be a space.
The crawler logs make it appear that everything is getting indexed, so I suspect the issue is on the authorization front.
2) In the second case, one of my security attributes for the data source may be NULL, meaning that there's no particular authorization restriction on a particular record, so to use the same example as in #1,
role_id might be NULL for some records, in which case, I want those records returned in the search if the client_id matches, but I can't get the records with the NULL role_id to be returned at all. Again, the crawler logs indicate that everything is being indexed, and I'm not sure if there's a log where I can further troubleshooting authorization issues.
Any guidance would be appreciated.
Thanks

1) The security attributes are OR'd together so if the user has any ONE of the attributes (either client ID or role ID), the document can be seen by the user. What I would try is to create a view to call rather than directly against the table. The view can then leverage a PL/SQL function and encapsulate the logic behind the security tokens to return.
So the view would look like this...
CREATE OR REPLACE VIEW USER_SECURITY_V AS
SELECT
USER_T.ID,
MY_SECURITY_FUNCTION(USER_T.ID) AS AUTH_ID
FROM
USER_T
The PL/SQL function would look something like this...
CREATE OR REPLACE FUNCTION MY_SECURITY_FUNCTION(USER_ID NUMBER) RETURN VARCHAR2 IS
-- Do whatever you need to do to build a single space-deliminted list of tokens for both Client and Role ID "CLIENTID4 ROLEID5 ROLEID9" then return
END;
The data source authorization query then would look like this...
SELECT AUTH_ID FROM USER_SECURITY_V A WHERE A.ID = ?
Using a PL/SQL Function to control the tokens gives you the flexibility of modifying security without having to touch the data source directly
2) I don't quite follow. If any ONE of the tokens match, the document is returned. If the role ID is null, you might try stamping each document a "master" security token indicating it's open to everyone such as "ALL". Then in the PL/SQL Function, return "ALL" in front of the actual values.
The crawler logs will only tell you what is indexed at crawl time, not how searching is actually working. Try checking the server logs. These should be under something like oracle/ses/seshome/search/base_domain/servers/AdminServer/logs
Hope this helps!

Error while populating drop down list with values from a database

Hi all,
I have a JSP page with a drop down list that is to be populated with values from a database.
This is the code in my JSP file:
     
         
         <% ArrayList<Integer> floornumbers = dataManager.getAllFloorNumbers();
            Iterator<Integer> iterator = floornumbers.iterator(); %>
         
         <form id="floorselectionform">
              <input type="hidden" name="action" value="floorselected"/> 
              Select floor | <select name="floorselector" id="floorselector">
                   <% while (iterator.hasNext()) { %>
                   <option value="<%=iterator.next().intValue()%>"> <%=iterator.next().intValue()%> </option>
                   <% } %>
              </select>
              <input type="submit" value="Go!"/>
         </form>   The DataManager.java class simply forwards this to its respective Peer class, which has the code shown below:
      package seatplanner.model;
    import java.sql.Connection;
    import java.sql.ResultSet;
    import java.sql.SQLException;
    import java.sql.Statement;
    import java.util.ArrayList;
    /* This class handles all floor operations */
     public class FloorPeer
     /* This method returns all the floor numbers */
     public static ArrayList<Integer> getAllFloorNumbers(DataManager dataManager) {
        ArrayList<Integer> floornumbers = new ArrayList<Integer>();
        Connection connection = dataManager.getConnection();
        if (connection != null) {
          try {
            Statement s = connection.createStatement();
            String sql = "select ID from floor order by ID asc";
            try {
              ResultSet rs = s.executeQuery(sql);
              try {
                while (rs.next()) {
                  floornumbers.add(rs.getInt(1));
              finally { rs.close(); }
            finally {s.close(); }
          catch (SQLException e) {
            System.out.println("Could not get floor numbers: " + e.getMessage());
          finally {
            dataManager.putConnection(connection);
        return floornumbers;
     } The classes compile properly, but when I load this page up in Tomcat it just freezes and does not load the form. I tested the DB connection and it works fine.
What am I doing wrong in the JSP code?
Thanks for the help in advance.
UPDATE: I commented out the form, and added <%=floornumbers.size()%> right above the commented code to check if the ArrayList is indeed getting populated with the values from the database (the values are of type integer in the database). The page still freezes like before. I'm puzzled now :confused: .

Wrong usage of Iterator.

         
         <% ArrayList<Integer> floornumbers = dataManager.getAllFloorNumbers();
            Iterator<Integer> iterator = floornumbers.iterator(); %>
         
         <form id="floorselectionform">
              <input type="hidden" name="action" value="floorselected"/> 
              Select floor | <select name="floorselector" id="floorselector">
                   <% while (iterator.hasNext()) {
                                Integer inte = iterator.next();
                        %>
                   <option value="<%=inte.intValue()%>"><%=inte.intValue()%></option>
                   <% } %>
              </select>
              <input type="submit" value="Go!"/>
         </form>or make use of enhanced loop as you are already using J2SE 5.0+ for avoiding confusions.

         
         <% ArrayList<Integer> floornumbers = dataManager.getAllFloorNumbers(); %>
         
         <form id="floorselectionform">
              <input type="hidden" name="action" value="floorselected"/> 
              Select floor | <select name="floorselector" id="floorselector">
                   <% for(Integer inte:floornumbers) {%>
                   <option value="<%=inte.intValue()%>"><%=inte.intValue()%></option>
                   <%}%>
              </select>
              <input type="submit" value="Go!"/>
         </form>and a lot better thing would be making usage of basic Taglib provided with JSTL spec or struts spec which make life easier and simple.
something like usage of <c:forEach/> or <logic:iterate/> would be lot better without writing a single scriptlet code.
Hope that might help :)

Create xml file with values from context

Hi experts!
I am trying to implement a WD application that will have some input fields, the value of those input fields will be used to create an xml file with a certain format and then sent to a certain application.
Apart from this i want to read an xml file back from the application and then fill some other context nodes with values from the xml file.
Is there any standard used code to do this??
If not how can i do this???
Thanx in advance!!!
P.S. Points will be rewarded to all usefull answers.

Hi,
you need to create three util class for that:-
XMLHandler
XMLParser
XMLBuilder
for example in my XML two tag item will be there e.g. Title and Organizer,and from ur WebDynpro view you need to pass value for the XML tag.
And u need to call buildXML()function of builder class to generate XML, in that i have passed bean object to get the values of tags. you need to set the value in bean from the view ui context.

SRM MDM, Error, "Table with Code 'null' does not exist in repository"

Hi experts,
We has SRM MDM scenario, while doing OCI settings, we are able to connect with MDM repository but getting follwoing error message in portal, "java.lang.IllegalArgumentException: Table with Code 'null' does not exist in the repository 'Repository' or is one of the system table (e.g. Workflows) that is not exposed in repository schema"
Can You please suggest,
Thanks and Regards,
Munish

Hi everyone,
Sudhanshu and Anshuk:- Thanks for your response, let me try and explain the real scenario in details:-
We have deployed the SRM-MDM Catalog Search UI in Portal.
We tried accessing the http://<Portal Host>:<Portal Port>/SRM-MDM/SRM_MDM
Then we got a screen (Search UI App screen), where in we have provided the MDM Server name, then the MDM Server Password, then presses the Connect button, then below this, it displayed the Repository name created in the MDM. We have selected the Repository, then provided the Credentials of a User (Name: T_CORP) in MDM which has "Catalog Manager", and the "UI Configuration Manager" Roles. Please note that these Role names were created by us in MDM. Is it the right procedure or do we have any standard Roles delivered by SAP in MDM to map? If any standard Roles are available, where we need to check these.
Once the Credentials of MDM User is provided, and then selected the "Login" button.
Then we are getting the below error.
"java.lang.IllegalArgumentException: Table with Code 'null' does not exist in the repository 'Repository' or is one of the system table (e.g. Workflows) that is not exposed in repository schema"
Please clarify; we are not configuring any values in iViews. Where we need to do this, I mean name of the iView, and what values do we need provide generally? We are just running the Search UI App application; I don't think it is an iView, because the URL shows the Application name details, etc...
Please guide us, how to fix this Error.
Thanks and Regards,
Munish

You can try this Excel library, it can help u to
export datatable to excel to Database.
After add the reference to your project ,add the following code:
private void button1_Click(object sender, EventArgs e)
//connect database
OleDbConnection connection = new OleDbConnection();
connection.ConnectionString @"Provider=""Microsoft.Jet.OLEDB.4.0"";Data Source=""demo.mdb"";User Id=;Password="
OleDbCommand command = new OleDbCommand();
command.CommandText = "select * from parts";
DataSet dataSet = new System.Data.DataSet();
OleDbDataAdapter dataAdapter = new OleDbDataAdapter(command.CommandText,connection);
dataAdapter.Fill(dataSet);
DataTable t = dataSet.Tables[0];
//export datatable to excel
Workbook book = new Workbook();
Worksheet sheet = book.Worksheets[0];
sheet.InsertDataTable(t, true, 1, 1);
book.SaveToFile("insertTableToExcel.xls");
System.Diagnostics.Process.Start("insertTableToExcel.xls");
