InfoPath 2010 SQL Data Connection - Related Table is Not a Repeating Group

I'm creating a InfoPath 2010 database form. In my main connection I want to query a parent table and a related child table. When I go through the wizard, the resulting data structure is not correct. The child group that InfoPath creates isn't
a repeating group, but it should be. I've done this many times before and never had this problem.
In other words, when I open up the main data source, the little blue disclosure triangle is missing from the child group.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Thank you.

Hi,
ODBC driver for Excel does not support deleting data.
I'm afraid there is no solution via SQL as in Oracle to use SQL with Excel you can only use ODBC, see OLEDB in previous versions to 11G.
Unfortunately with ODBC or OLEDB driver for Excel , DELETE is not supported.

BizTalk 2010 SQL adapter connection to SQL2014.

I tried to connect BizTalk 2010 SQL adapter connection to SQL2014. The adapter found the database but the test connection said it would not connect.
Can this be done?

XML Data from Relational Tables

Hi,
My requirement is to pull data from relational tables into xml format and port it to the user (either as a file or allow the user to access it directly from their browser). What is the best way to accomplish this. Your suggestions are appreciated.
thanks.

Marco,
Thanks for your reply, did try that , but I want the users to query this view also. Due to the nature of the xml structure I am getting the correct results. May be my xpath query is not right? My xml is as below:
<node1 attribute-node1 = "somevalue1">
<cnode1 attribute-cnode1 = "somevalue2">
<cnode2 attribute-cnode2 = "somevalue3">
<cnode3>somevalue4</cnode3>
<cnode4>somevalue5</cnode4>
</cnode2>
<cnode2 attribute-cnode2 = "somevlaue6">
<cnode3>somevalue6</cnode3>
<cnode4>somevalue7</cnode4>
</cnode2>
</cnode1>
</node1>
and my requirement is like : the user wants to see only cnode2 with attribute value "somevalue3" (along with the rest of the xml) ie
<node1 attribute-node1 = "somevalue1">
<cnode1 attribute-cnode1 = "somevalue2">
<cnode2 attribute-cnode2 = "somevalue3">
<cnode3>somevalue4</cnode3>
<cnode4>somevalue5</cnode4>
</cnode2>
</cnode1>
</node1>
Need the correct xpath query for this.
Thanks

Powerpivot 2012 on Excel 2010 - External Data connections not saving passwords, having to re-enter password EVERYTIME I refresh data

Hey Guys,
Using Excel 2010 with latest version of Powerpivot 2012 available 11.1.3129.0
For my SQL Server Data connections in Powerpivot I DO NOT have any issue, when clicking refresh it never asks me to enter a password and uses my Windows AD info.
However, for my plethora of other external data connections (Informix, Oracle, Etc...) that I would like to have fluid use within Powerpivot, big problems.
Lets start with Oracle. Below is a screenshot of my connection tab within Powerpivot.
So as you can see, all the details are entered and Allow Saving Password is selected. Now I will close out of Powerpivot and Excel completely and re-open. I will navigate to the Powerpivot tab
and select Powerpivot Window. And then will select to "Refresh All" and am quickly prompted with the "Data Source Credentials" window to re-enter my data source password, again.
What I have already tried. The above method for starters in which I use a connection string under Table Import Wizard --> Others (OLEDB/ODBC)... I found it the least annoying route, although
still have to re-enter password everytime, which is what I hope this forum can help with.
I also have tried doing a direct Oracle connection in Table Import Wizard but also does not eliminate my #1 problem.
I have also created an ODC file to try and use that with stored credentials within the file, also still asks for password each and everytime.
The same thing happens with my other data connections to Informix and DB2. So any help and/or suggestions anyone has would be great. I also cant upload these powerpivots to our powerpivot gallery
on SharePoint 2010, I have a sneaking suspicion it is due to the version of powerpivot I am currently using.
Thanks

Hi there,
My company is not using Excel 2013, only 2010. So that is what I have to work with. From what I have read this is a huge hole in the Powerpivot 2012 framework and is extremely frustrating. This seems so basic and simple and like something everyone using
this product would use, and yet it still doesnt work.
Great feedback. Connect is the right place for this feedback on 2010 as well. Thanks!

Opening an Excel 2003 file in Office 2010 Universal Data Connection error when opening the file from a domain.

Hi.
One of my users are having problem with old accounting files in Excel 2003 when opening Excel 2010.
The user experience that linked information is not being updated properly.
And suspects that it something do with Universal Data Connection .
How can an Excel 2003 spread sheet be converted to Excel 2010 spread sheet and still contain active links?
When the user is opening and converting the file as mention in your suggestion, on the common share on a common domain, the links "breaks".
we are not using SharePoint on our domain.
But when doing it on a local machine, the links does not "breaks".
Looking forward to get solved to this problem.
Thank you in advance.
Rgds

it sounds link, the links changed from relative paths to absolute path. You need to use absolute path in original file.

Mapping with xml-schema XML-data to relational tables

Hello,
is it possible to map data from xml documents to relational tables with xml-schema?
I mean not in nested tables but in relational tables with primary and foreign keys!
With SQL Server 2005 it is very easy, I dont believe that Oracle couldn't do this!
I searched but i cant find anything about that!
Thx
user445232

indeed, oracle does this for xml schema based xmltype data, however, these underlying tables are not accessable to the application. Maybe It should for next version, so folks who like to use relational model can use it without mapping it manually.
Actually, nested tables, are the same, their underlying tables (segments) are indeed relational tables, oracle manages them internally and not visiable to the application. You can find them in the user_segments, user_objects views though.

SharePoint 2010 and InfoPath 2010 - Load data from another form

Hello,
I have two questions on this topic.
Is it possible to open an empty InfoPath form and give the user the option of loading it with data from a previously submitted form? They want the ability to save some time of filling in some fields that were entered in an earlier form. Any description
of how or a link would be appreciated.
Also, if I create an InfoPath form template in a SharePoint Form Library like above, the user would like to be able to have multiple forms associated with each other. There would be some key that packaged them with each other. Then from within
one of the form, there would be an option to submit the whole "package" at once. All the forms associated with that one key. Again, any examples or links would help.
Thank you!

You can use InfoPath Query Data connection to point to a library / list where your data is located.
For loading data, you should be using Form Load event, and then populate ID's to a Drop down list.
when the user selects the ID from the Drop Down list, you can write another rule to query data based on the ID's from the list and store the values in your current form.
For the second question, you should try creating a single form with multiple views. and show hide views based on user or business logic.
You can write multiple submit rules to submit Form data to different different library / list.
here are some links for your reference -

Sql*loader and relate tables

I have a file formated like the following:
111|1,2,3|
222|7,8|
Oracle relate table looks like:
tab1 (id1 number, id2 number)
Can sql*loader handle this kind of data? I should have 5 records in tab1 once the load is finished.
tab1 should have:
111,1
111,2
111,3
222,7
222,8

NO
It will not work like that.
You have to have data file like
111|1
111|2
111|3
222|7
222|8

Loading XML Data into Relational Table

Hello,
I receive an XML file generated from another tool (on Windows), I am trying to create a Linux shell script that will gather the needed XML file from my Linux database server, then have Oracle use this file to load the XML data into a relational table. This activity & data will be needed on an ongoing basis.
I have tried this two ways. First, I loaded the XML document into the database and tried to extract the data directly from the document, but that is not working. Now I want to try to read the data directly from the file on the server via select, however I am not getting any data returned. In the Select statement below, I am simply trying to query the data to see what is returned for my testing.
Create Table ci_results_table (transactionID Varchar2(100), //transactionID should be PrimaryKey but was getting NULL value errors during insert test, so removed PK
message Varchar2(200),
ci Varchar2(50),
processeddate xmltype,
status Varchar2(50),
sourcefile VarChar2(100));
select x.*
from XMLTable(
     'TSPLoadResults/Results'
     PASSING xmltype(bfilename('CMDB_DEVADHOCRESULTS_DIR','LoadResults-HP_146.results.xml'), nls_charset_id('AL32UTF8'))
     COLUMNS
       transactionID Varchar2(100) PATH 'TransactionID',
       Result XMLType PATH 'Result',
       Message Varchar2(200) PATH 'Message',
       PrimaryKey Varchar2(50) PATH 'PrimaryKey',
       ProcessedDate date PATH 'ProcessedDate',
       Status Varchar2(50) PATH 'Status',
       SourceFile VarChar2(100) PATH 'SourceFileName'
   ) x
Eventually I will need to build on this to limit the data returned to those records where SourceFileName is like 'HPDS%' and insert what is returned in to the ci_results_table. Attached is a sample Results XML file I am trying to load, It is named "ResultsTransformedtoUnix" because I used dos2Unix to convert it to Unix which may be right or wrong. (The output file I send out has to be transformed to DOS format before the other application can read it). Original file (before Unix conversion) named in script is also attached.
Please help. Thank you!

Hi,
I see some wrong things in your query.
1) The obvious one, explaining why you're not getting any data : there's a typo in the XQuery expression, it's "Result" not "Results"
2) ProcessedDate cannot be extracted as a date (at least not directly) since it actually represents a timestamp, use TIMESTAMP WITH TIME ZONE datatype and cast back to DATE in the SELECT clause
3) transactionID is an attribute, it must be accessed with '@' (or 'attribute::' axis)
4) If the file encoding is truly ISO-8859-1 as the prolog suggests, then do not use AL32UTF8 but the corresponding charset name : WE8ISO8859P1
Here's the working query :
select x.transactionID
     , x.Message
     , x.Primarykey
     , cast(x.ProcessedDate as date) ProcessDate
     , x.Status
     , x.SourceFile
from XMLTable(
       '/TSPLoadResults/Result'
       PASSING xmltype(bfilename('XML_DIR','LoadResults-HP_146.results.xml'), nls_charset_id('WE8ISO8859P1'))
       COLUMNS
         transactionID Varchar2(100)            PATH '@transactionID',
         Message       Varchar2(200)            PATH 'Message',
         PrimaryKey    Varchar2(50)             PATH 'PrimaryKey',
         ProcessedDate timestamp with time zone PATH 'ProcessedDate',
         Status        Varchar2(50)             PATH 'Status',
         SourceFile    VarChar2(100)            PATH 'SourceFileName'
     ) x
Using this query directly over the file will only perform decently (for large files) on 11.2.0.4 and onwards.
On prior versions, first load the file in a (temporary) XMLType column with Binary XML storage and SELECT from there.
because I used dos2Unix to convert it to Unix which may be right or wrong.
This conversion shouldn't be necessary.

Extracting data from Relational tables in 11.1.2.1

I want to extract the following data sets from relational tables
1. Attribute and its associated base member
2. Smartlist value of an account
Does any one have a code to extract this kind of data? Even pointing to the correct table names will be helpful.
Thanks

The table layouts can be found in the [documentation for EPMA|http://www.oracle.com/technetwork/middleware/bi-foundation/epm-data-models-11121-354684.zip] . If this doesn't work, there are other options to export hierarchies to text files. You can use life cycle management or the [EPMA File Generator|http://docs.oracle.com/cd/E17236_01/epm.1112/epma_file_gen_user/launch.html].

Need to reform sql data in a table

I have data in a table like this
Group     measure     value
group1     Total     20
group1     price     500
group1     balance     800     I need to make the data in a new table like this, please HELP, Doug
Group     total     price     balance
group1     20     500     800

Hi,
That's called a Pivot , and here's one way to do it in Oracle 8.1 and up:
SELECT       grp          -- GROUP is not a good column name
,       SUM (CASE WHEN measure = 'Total'   THEN value END)     AS total
,       SUM (CASE WHEN measure = 'price'   THEN value END)     AS price
,       SUM (CASE WHEN measure = 'balance' THEN value END)     AS balance
FROM       a_table
GROUP BY grp
;Starting in Oracle 11, there's a cleaner way to get the same results.

Alex is right; if you search this site for "Pivot" or "Rows to Columns", you'll find plenty of matches.

Data Model: Relational Tables/Columns Naming Options

Hello,
My design consists of several Relational models.
1. Using Logical model properties, I defined Naming Options (Max. Name Length, Character Case, Valid Characters) applicable to all Entities, Attributes and Views.
2. But for Relational models, Tables/Columns/Views Naming Options (Max. Name Length, Character Case, Valid Characters) can only be defined per Relational model and not for all the models.
Question: Is it possible to define Tables/Columns/Views Naming Options (Max. Name Length, Character Case, Valid Characters) applicable to all Relational models? If yes, please inform me.
Thanks
Chiedu

Andrey,
When You select all the columns, you need to hold the Shift key to select all. Don't let it go to do the copy. So, still holding the shift key, right click for the context menu. The menu only has 2 items, Copy and Delete. Now Copy. Then you can go to the diagram and select paste, to paste them in each of the tables you want those columns to appear in.

New posted data in underlying table is not fetched in datasource (RSA3).

Hi Gurus,
I am using DataSource 0CA_TS_IS_1 in RSA3. To meet the requiremnt we posted some new data in the underlying database transparent table (CATSDB). But datasource is not extracting new data whatever is posted in underlying database transparent table (CATSDB). This is standard SAP delivered datasource.
Is there any conditions to be followed to post the entries in table (CATSDB) so that it will be extracted by the datasource 0CA_TS_IS_1 in RSA3 and then later in BW.
Thanks in advance.
Uday Shankar.

After posting new data in the table (CATSDB), functional guys should execute TIME EVALUATION jobs in source system (R/3 or ECC). Otherwise 0CA_TS_IS_1 would not fetch any data in RSA3 and then in BW.
