In WL 6.1 SP4 random value updated in NUMBER column

Our application used to update a NUMBER(15) column in Oracle with current time
in milliseconds.
After migrating from SP3 to SP4 I observed that ORA-01438 was being thrown during
the update intermittently.
Increasing the size to default NUMBER, I observed that the values getting inserted
are sometime random like 59, 81 digits long!
The update code just does a prepared statement and does setObject of a java.lang.Long.
I am using the oracle thin driver in oracle's classes12.zip.
I am sure that this is happening since using SP4, have anyone faced similar problems?

We have changed default thin driver to 920 from 817 in 610sp4. If you are using 817
dbserver, please put 817 classes12.zip in your classpath before weblogic.jar and you will
be ok.

In XML Output the values of Number column tags are not displayed properly

Hi,
Our Client have been using AR Invoice Print Program for a long time and it is heavily customized. Also they are using an old version of the RDF. So we have taken the latest version of the RDF (RAXINV.rdf) for Oracle Apps 11.5.10.2 by raising a SR and implement Client's old RAXINV.rdf into it.
All was ok, but when we are running the program, the XML Output did not generate properly. For the Q_INVOICE query (G_ORDER_BY, G_INVOICE and G_INV_TERM group), the value of some of the scaler number columns are not appeared properly. The tags are coming correctly, but the value is appearing as '*', instead of the correct value. We have checked in the RDF Level (By putting srw.message and check in the log file) that those columns are having proper value. So there is no issue with the RDF.
But because of the above mentioned problem, the some of the PDF output field values also is not generated correctly.
I think that because of the lexical parameters which was implementing the Q_INVOICE query (&COMMON_QUERY) this issue is coming. Because the issue is only in the Q_INVOICE query group (G_ORDER_BY, G_INVOICE and in G_INV_TERM group) not in any other query group.
There is no problem with the scaler character columns. The issue is only with the number columns.
Also we have checked that if we hardcode the value of the number columns in the above mentioned lexical parameter, this problem doesn't appear.
If we put TO_CHAR function to those number columns in the lexical parameter (COMMON_QUERY), then this issue get solved. But we can't do it because of performance issue and also Client won't approve it.
Please help.
With Thanks and Regards

I don't know how to read the code you pasted or I would have checked this myself.
Do your fields in the internal table reference dictionary objects or elementary types? If not using dictionary types, the column names will be blank by default. If you can't change your fields to be dictionary types, you can try this to change the column names:
I made a method inside my local class to add the names:
        call method set_colname
          EXPORTING iv_tab = alv_tab
                    iv_colid = 'xxxx' "fieldname from the table
                    iv_stxt = text-t54
                    iv_mtxt = text-t55
                    iv_ltxt = text-t55.
METHOD set_colname .
data:
          alv_cols type REF TO cl_salv_columns_table,
          alv_col type REF TO cl_salv_column.
TRY .
*... Change fieldnames
        call METHOD iv_tab->get_columns RECEIVING value = alv_cols.
        call method alv_cols->get_column EXPORTING columnname = iv_colid RECEIVING value = alv_col.
        IF iv_stxt <> ''.
          CALL METHOD alv_col->set_short_text EXPORTING value = iv_stxt.
        ENDIF.
        IF iv_mtxt <> ''.
          CALL METHOD alv_col->set_medium_text EXPORTING value = iv_mtxt.
        ENDIF.
        IF iv_ltxt <> ''.
          CALL METHOD alv_col->set_long_text EXPORTING value = iv_ltxt.
        ENDIF.

Weighted random value (1-10) e.g.3 will be 50 % of records

Hello,
i need to generate random values into my table. For the simplification, lets say that i need to generate values in range from 1 to 10. For this there is a lot of ways.
e.g. UPDATE test_number SET random_value = round (dbms_random.value (1,10))
But what I need is something like weighted random values. I need random values to be inserted into column, but I need e.g. 3 to be inserted more times than other values e.g. if i have 100 rows i want to have 3 in 50 random rows
Do you have any idea how to achieve it?
Thanks a lot for any help or reply !

Hi,
You can do something like this:
WITH     got_p_num     AS
     SELECT     LEVEL                         AS id
     ,     FLOOR (dbms_random.value (1, 19))     AS p_num
     FROM     dual
     CONNECT BY     LEVEL     <= 10
SELECT       id
,       p_num
,       CASE
          WHEN p_num     < 3     THEN p_num
          WHEN p_num     < 12     THEN 3
                                 ELSE p_num - 8
       END     AS r_num
FROM       got_p_num
ORDER BY r_num
;If you want the number 3 to appear on half of the rows; that means that, out of 18 random numbers, you expect 3 to occur 9 times, and the other numbers to appear once each. The query above generates random integers in the range 1 through 18 inclusive, and calls this number p_num. The CASE statement maps p_num to what you really want, a n integer between 1 and 10, with 3 occurring 9/18 (= 1/2) of the time.
Instead of using a CASE expression, you might want to create a table, that has one row for every number that can be in the output, and the probability of picking that number. You could then join to that table to convert the raw random number to the id that you want.

Select statement for JDBC receiver synch scenario for capturing random value from ECC portal

Dear Experts,
I am working on ECC <----> SAP-PO 7.31 <----> JDBC synchronous scenario. I am clear about the config part except the Select statement. I will be
capturing 2 random values from the portal i.e. VendId and VendName in ECC to get the vendor details like Vendor Country, Vendor Status, Vendor Contact , Vendor Address etc from JDBC vendor table/view VENDETAIL.
What would be the select statement to capture the random values for ECC portal? My select statement would look some thing like this..
Select f1,f2,f3,f4 from table VENDETAIL where key1 = "VendId" and "VendName"
Please suggest if the above select statement works for the above scenario...
Regards
Rebecca

Hi Rebecca,
Your statement should work fine.
Please see the statement we use below.
SELECT eT_cashier, eT_proc_yn, eT_proc_date FROM eTest WHERE eb_proc_yn = 'N'
Just remember to update the change indicator so that you dont duplicate your records.
UPDATE eTest SET eb_proc_yn = 'Y' WHERE eb_proc_yn = 'N'.

How can i get the random values from database?

Hi,
i want to get random values from database.
I try my best find no solution
plz give solution in either sql query or java method.
thanks in advance.

try this:
Give a numeric row-id to each row of database.
say (1-100) for 100 rows
In the program use random function to get random number between 0 and 1. this value u multiply with 100(or total number of rows) and take integer value of it . u then perform sql query to select the a row which matches randomly genarated value with row-id assigned to each row of database

Now I want to update the new column value with old column value.I mean i have to copy the data. But data amount is very huge. Its more than 1.5 crores of data. But on promote day, I have only 1 hr of outage. Please suggest the effective solution to achieve this.

Hi Stew
I have 1 primary key in my table and 11 foreign keys in my table.there are 20 check constraints as well.
If i go for an online redefine of a table, these objects will be created back automatically?
Please clarify.
This is my table. Here Remarks is the column with CLOB datatype. To support multi language, I need to change it to NCLOB. That column having data so i cant rename it.
So I added new column , after renaming that remarks to old_remarks. Now new column remarks is ready with NCLOB data type, but no data in it.
To copy the old remarks column into new remarks column, i thought to write one script. But how it is achievable using "DBMS_REDEFINITION". Please explain me,

Update table a columns using columns from table b (values of 2 columns of table b need to taken from table c)

Guys,
I need to update table A columns col3, col4, col5 and col6 by table b columns col3, col4, col5 and col6 however table b col5 and col6 values need to come from table c col1.
Means table b col5 and col6 have values in it however i need to replace them with value from table c col1 and need to update table a col5 and col6 accordingly.
table a and table b has col1 and col2 in common.
i am trying something like this.
Update a
a.col3 = b.col3,
a.col4 = b.col4,
a.col5 = (select col1 from table_c c where c.col2=b.col5),
a.col6 = (select col1 from table_c c where c.col2=b.col6)
from table_A a inner join table_b
on a.col1=b.col1 and a.col2=b.col2
can someone help me reframe above update query?
thanks in advance for your help.

Try the below:(If you have multiple values, then you may need to use TOP 1 as commented code in the below script)
create Table tableA(Col1 int,Col2 int,Col3 int,Col4 int,Col5 int,Col6 int)
Insert into tableA values(1,2,3,4,5,6)
create Table tableB(Col1 int,Col2 int,Col3 int,Col4 int,Col5 int,Col6 int)
Insert into tableB values(1,2,30,40,50,60)
create Table tableC(Col1 int,Col2 int,Col3 int,Col4 int,Col5 int,Col6 int)
Insert into tableC values(100,50,30,40,2,2)
--Insert into tableC values(200,50,30,40,2,2)
Insert into tableC values(100,60,30,40,2,2)
Select * From tablea
Update a Set
a.col3 = b.col3,
a.col4 = b.col4,
a.col5 = (select col1 from tablec c where c.col2=b.col5 ),
a.col6 = (select col1 from tablec c where c.col2=b.col6 )
from tableA a inner join tableb b
on a.col1=b.col1 and a.col2=b.col2
--Update a Set
--a.col3 = b.col3,
--a.col4 = b.col4,
--a.col5 = (select Top 1 col1 from tablec c where c.col2=b.col5 Order by c.Col1 asc),
--a.col6 = (select Top 1 col1 from tablec c where c.col2=b.col6 Order by c.Col1 asc)
--from tableA a inner join tableb b
--on a.col1=b.col1 and a.col2=b.col2
Select * From tablea
Drop table tablea,Tableb,TableC

Selecting random values from an array based on a condition

Hi All,
I have a small glitch here. hope you guys can help me out.
I have an evenly spaced integer array as X[ ] = {1,2,3, ....150}. and I need to create a new array which selects 5 random values from X [ ] , but with a condition that these random values should have a difference of atleast 25 between them.
for example res [ ] = {2,60,37,110,130}
res [ ] = {10,40,109,132,75}
I have been thinking of looping thru the X [ ], and selecting randomly but things look tricky once I sit down to write an algorithm to do it.
Can anyone think of an approach to do this, any help will be greatly appreciated ...

For your interest, here is my attempt.
import java.util.Random;
public class TestDemo {
    public static void main(String[] args) throws Exception {
        for (int n = 0; n < 10; n++) {
            System.out.println(toString(getValues(5, 25, 150)));
    private final static Random RAND = new Random();
    public static int[] getValues(int num, int spread, int max) {
        if (num * spread >= max) {
            throw new IllegalArgumentException("Cannot produce " + num + " spread " + spread + " less than or equals to " + max);
        int[] nums = new int[num];
        int max2 = max - (num - 1) * spread - 1;
        // generate random offsets totally less than max2
        for (int j = 0; j < num; j++) {
            int next = RAND.nextInt(max2);
            // favour smaller numbers.
            if (max2 > spread/2)
                next = RAND.nextInt(next+1);
            nums[j] = next;
            max2 -= next;
        // shuffle the offsets.
        for (int j = num; j > 1; j--) {
            swap(nums, j - 1, RAND.nextInt(j));
        // add the spread of 25 each.
        for (int j = 1; j < num; j++) {
            nums[j] += nums[j-1] + spread;
        return nums;
    private static void swap(int[] arr, int i, int j) {
        int tmp = arr;

Asset values updation in Eco. Dep area 50

Dear All,
I have created one asset for Good will as on 01.02.2010 (go live date 01.02.2010) by using AS91, and i updated APC cost and Acum Depreciation for Dep area 50 - Eco. Depreciation only.
Right now my client want to add some new values (because of wrong value updated at the time of take over values)
How can i do the additions for those assets. i have total 4 Dep. areas but this asset have only one dep. area 50 - Eco. Dep. , more over they run the Dep. for last year (FY - 1st Jan. to 31 Dec.) Please suggest me.
Regards
Radha

Dear Murali,
I have done all those things, and we updated some values for Good Will with Negative sign, but right now we have to add some Negative value in the same asset.
EX: Asset no. 10001
take over values 100000
actual value 250000
Right now i have to add 150000 in that asset

Update trigger fails with value too large for column error on timestamp

Hello there,
I've got a problem with several update triggers. I've several triggers monitoring a set of tables.
Upon each update the updated data is compared with the current values in the table columns.
If different values are detected the update timestamp is set with the current_timestamp. That
way we have a timestamp that reflects real changes in relevant data. I attached an example for
that kind of trigger below. The triggers on each monitored table only differ in the columns that
are compared.
CREATE OR REPLACE TRIGGER T_ava01_obj_cont
BEFORE UPDATE on ava01_obj_cont
FOR EACH ROW
DECLARE
v_changed boolean := false;
BEGIN
IF NOT v_changed THEN
    v_changed := (:old.cr_adv_id IS NULL AND :new.cr_adv_id IS NOT NULL) OR
                 (:old.cr_adv_id IS NOT NULL AND :new.cr_adv_id IS NULL)OR
                 (:old.cr_adv_id IS NOT NULL AND :new.cr_adv_id IS NOT NULL AND :old.cr_adv_id != :new.cr_adv_id);
END IF;
IF NOT v_changed THEN
    v_changed := (:old.is_euzins_relevant IS NULL AND :new.is_euzins_relevant IS NOT NULL) OR
                 (:old.is_euzins_relevant IS NOT NULL AND :new.is_euzins_relevant IS NULL)OR
                 (:old.is_euzins_relevant IS NOT NULL AND :new.is_euzins_relevant IS NOT NULL AND :old.is_euzins_relevant != :new.is_euzins_relevant);
END IF;
[.. more values being compared ..]
    IF v_changed THEN
    :new.update_ts := current_timestamp;
END IF;
END T_ava01_obj_cont;Really relevant is the statement
:new.update_ts := current_timestamp;So far so good. The problem is, it works the most of time. Only sometimes it fails with the following error:
SQL state [72000]; error code [12899]; ORA-12899: value too large for column "LGT_CLASS_AVALOQ"."AVA01_OBJ_CONT"."UPDATE_TS"
(actual: 28, maximum: 11)
I can't see how the value systimestamp or current_timestamp (I tried both) should be too large for
a column defined as TIMESTAMP(6). We've got tables where more updates occur then elsewhere.
Thats where the most of the errors pop up. Other tables with fewer updates show errors only
sporadicly or even never. I can't see a kind of error pattern. It's like that every 10.000th update
or less failes.
I was desperate enough to try some language dependend transformation like
IF v_changed THEN
    l_update_date := systimestamp || '';
    select value into l_timestamp_format from nls_database_parameters where parameter = 'NLS_TIMESTAMP_TZ_FORMAT';
    :new.update_ts := to_timestamp_tz(l_update_date, l_timestamp_format);
END IF;to be sure the format is right. It didn't change a thing.
We are using Oracle Version 10.2.0.4.0 Production.
Did anyone encounter that kind of behaviour and solve it? I'm now pretty certain that it has to
be an oracle bug. What is the forum's opinion on that? Would you suggest to file a bug report?
Thanks in advance for your help.
Kind regards
Jan

No Quantity/ value update at Movement type

Hello All,
At Material type level with valuation area SAP controls check / uncheck Quantity/ Value updating (OMS2)
In our specific business scaenraios, we use material type (HALB) with valuation area combination with / without Quanity & Value updating. Hnece, above setting will not work in our scenario.
is it possible to have control of Quantity/ Value updating by using a custom movement (ex: copy of 101 to 1Z1)?
Really appreciate your thoughts!
Thanks

Sort key '011' (site number) without value update in FI document

Hi
With regards to vendor master already with sort key 011(site number) was maintained. However, there is always no values update on assignment field in the accounting document. The accounting document was integrated thru MM module when logistic invoice verification done thru tcode MIRO.
Can anyone please kindly help.

Kang Ring

Hi ,
As you are using Std sort key,there should be no problem as there is no other setting other than maintaining the sortkey in the GL.
Please Check the Sort key of the Gl in FS00 which is hitting from MIRO and also confirm that you have maintain the Plant in the concern MM transactions you are referring.

Quantity/value updating

Dear expert:
i create a PO (with account assignment) with a material belongs to a material type has not set quantity and value updating. i get a material document when i do goods receipt against this purchase order. i know there will no quantity and value update, but i wonder where the data is stored. please give me some clue.
thanks and best regards,

Hi David,
When you are creating PO with qty & value updating untick, system will ask for account assignment mandatory (ex: K cost centre) while creating PO & when you do GR the qty part will go to cost centre consumption & value will be booked for that cost centre used. you can see controlling document in GR, for PO without cost cenre you see accounting entries here you see cost centre entries.
