Input Readiness of Query with optional variables

Hi,
I built one input ready query which is input ready upon execution with only one set of selections, for any other set of selections, it is not input ready.Query is built on aggregation level on the top of multiprovider. There are no data slices built, No lock entries in RSPLSE as well. Is it like if a variable in the selection screen of the query is optional, will it be moved to free characteristic and because of that input readiness of the query will disappear?? In my case, country is authorized variable which is optional. Please let me know if any one has solution for this.
Thanks,
Bindu

Hi,
Check if:
1. You have added characteristic InfoProvider in filter area and restricted that to your plan cube?
2. Any Keyfigure in query will have input-ready cell only if all the characterictics in the aggregation level of that query has unique values for that cell.
In your case you have moved Country to free characteristic area and might have not provided any value for it as it's optional. So system is not finding a unique value for this characteristic for input-ready cells.
Enter value for Country variable and then execute, query will be input-ready.

Deepti

Input-Readiness of Query with drill down

Hello experts,
I've got an issue with the input readiness of a query.
In the Query I use the characterisitc "Plan" as a drill-down-characterisitc.
So I don't filter the query for the characterisitc 'plan' but I use it as drill-down-characterisitc, that ervery row is assigned to one 'plan'.
My problem is that the query is not input-ready.
Every other selection is correct. If I change my filter and filter the query for just one "Plan"-> everything works fine and the query is input ready.
When I filter for more than one "Plan" the query is not input-ready, even the characteristic "Plan" is used as drill down charactersitic in the query rows.
Furthermore:
In the characterisitc-relationships of the cube, the characterisitc "Plan" is used as source characteristic for relationships with derivation.
I tried to deactivate all characteristic-relationships. Same problem:
- Input ready if I filter for just one plan
- Not input ready if I filter for more than one plan and use the plan for drill-down
It is not:
- a data slice problem
- not a problem of the unique selection in any other characterisitcs
- data load behaviour of the cube
- chnge mode settings in query
If you have any idea, please let me know
Thanks
Johannes

Hallo Herr Hilscher,
Not input ready if I filter for more than one plan and use the plan for drill-down
Kannst du noch mal erklären?
Danke.

Query with bind variable, how can use it in managed bean ?

Hi
I create query with bind variable (BindControlTextValue), this query return description of value that i set in BindControlTextValue variable, how can i use this query in managed bean? I need to set this value in String parameter in managed bean.
Thanks

Put the query in a VO and execute it the usual way.
If you need to, you can write a parameterized method in VOImpl that executes the VO query with the parameter and then call that method from the UI (as a methodAction binding) either through the managed bean or via a direct button click on the page.

SQL query with Bind variable with slower execution plan

I have a 'normal' sql select-insert statement (not using bind variable) and it yields the following execution plan:-
Execution Plan

I have the same query but instead running using bind variable (I test it with both oracle form and SQL*plus), it takes considerably longer with a different execution plan:-

TABLEA has around 3million record while TABLEB has 300 records. Is there anyway I can improve the speed of the sql query with bind variable? I have DBA Access to the database
Regards
Ivan

Many thanks for your reply.
I have run the statistic already for the both tableA and tableB as well all the indexes associated with both table (using dbms_stats, I am on 9i db ) but not the indexed columns.
for table I use:-
begin
dbms_stats.gather_table_stats(ownname=> 'IVAN', tabname=> 'TABLEA', partname=> NULL);
end;
for index I use:-
begin
dbms_stats.gather_index_stats(ownname=> 'IVAN', indname=> 'TABLEB_IDX_003', partname=> NULL);
end;
Is it possible to show me a sample of how to collect statisc for INDEX columns stats?

From Clause query with form variables

forms 9.0.4 rdbms 9.2
Is it possible to create a From Clause query with form variables generated from another block (but in the same form)? I am not having any success.
I searched Metalink. It appears that according to DOC ID # 69884.1, in Forms 6i, this is not possible. Metalink suggest in DOC ID 104771.1 implementating a dynamic From Clause, but when I duplicate the example on my system, I receive an Oracle error. Further investigation from the web form (DISPLAY ERROR) indicates that the system does not see the dynamic value.
Has anyone else run into this error? Has this been fixed in forms 9.0.4 and I am just missing something? Does a dynamic from clause query work? Can anyone point me to an example or post an example or offer any advise.
thanks in advance

As far as I know it is not possible to use block items in a from clause query in forms 9.0.4. Here is my solution for a From-Clause-Query via the 'Query-Data-Source-Name-Property':
To use the values of the block items in my from clause query I implemented a database package with getter and setter routines for the block item values I needed for the query.
In the Key-Exeqry-Trigger of the From-Clause-Query-Block I set the global package variables with values of the block-items I am interested in. In the From-Clause-Query I used the values in the where-clause via package functions which return the global package variables.
Hope my solution will work for your problem.

SPARQL query with OPTIONAL

Hi,
When I run a SPARQL query with OPTIONAL in the WHERE clause, I saw a lot of "select 1 from ***" kind of queries got executed. The query runs very slow. I'm running Jena adaptor 2 against Oracle 11.1.0.6. We have about half million triples in the model. The queries we need to run tend to be complex and they run pretty slow. Does Oracle 11.1.0.7 have big query performance improvement over 11.1.0.6? Is there anything that we can do on the application side or on the database side to boost the query performance? Thanks,
Weihua

Native database support for OPTIONAL in SEM_MATCH based RDF query has been made available via patch 7600122 on 11.1.0.7. Direct use of SEM_MATCH to query your data from SQL has significant performance benefits.

Query with 2 variables

I have a query with two variables (Employee and Date). The query is working fine if both of the variables are check and values assigned. But if only one variable is checked and a value assigned then the query will return 0 results. Is it possible that the query cannot work with only one variable out of the 2? Do I need a workaround or am i doing something wrong?
Here is the query:
SELECT T0.DocNum, T0.DocDate, T0.DocDueDate, T0.CardCode, T0.CardName, T0.Address, T0.DocTotal, T0.U_Employee, T1.firstName,T1.lastName, T0.Comments FROM OVPM T0 LEFT JOIN OHEM T1 ON T0.U_EMPLOYEE = T1.FIRSTNAME' 'T1.LASTNAME WHERE T0.DocType = 'A' AND T0.U_EMPLOYEE = [%0] AND T0.DocDate =[%1].
Thank you so much for your help,
Irina Stanca

AFAIK, at least with 'complex queries' unchecked parameter gets
some default/blank value. Therefore, you should allow default values in your
WHERE clause.
You want: WHERE T0.COL = @VAR
You write: WHERE (T0.COL = @VAR OR [logical test for @VAR is a default value])
Snippets like this may help you in finding out that default value:
-- snip --
/SELECT FROM [dbo].[OHEM] T9/
declare @VAR_EMPL as char(20)
/* WHERE */
set @VAR_EMPL = /* T9.lastName */ '[%0]'
/SELECT FROM [dbo].[OVPM] T8/
declare @VAR_DATE as char(20)
/* WHERE */
set @VAR_DATE = /* T8.DocDate */ '[%1]'
SELECT '@VAR_EMPL: ' + '|' + @VAR_EMPL + '|' + '@VAR_DATE: ' + @VAR_DATE + ' DATEDIFF: ' + cast(DATEDIFF(day, CAST('1900-01-01' as datetime), CAST(@VAR_DATE as datetime)) as varchar)
[/code]
-- snip --
Yes, it looks like the default value for dates is '1900-01-01'.
Therefore, you may want to code this way
.. WHERE (DocDate = @VAR_DATE OR DATEDIFF(day, CAST('1900-01-01' as datetime), CAST(@VAR_DATE as datetime)) > 0)
I also noticed a date-related issue that may cause problems in complex queries
if you work with dates from last century AND if your date format in B1 is YY instead of CCYY:
you enter 1907 and B1 interprets it as 2007.

Report query with bind variable

Trying to create a report query for xsl-fo print. For output format I pick "derive from item" then pick the item name from the list, on the next screen, I paste the query with the bind variable. on the next step test query, I always get "data not found" regardless what value I type in. This is the same query that I ran under sql commands without any issues.
Does anyone run into the same issue as I have when attempted to create a query with bind var ? There is no problem creating a query without bind varibles. . thanks.

Generating this same query in shared component query builder and testing it returns no data found. If I remove the last line, it works. but with the last line, it return no data found. It seems no one has been able to provide solution to this issue

Issue with SQL Query with Presentation Variable as Data Source in BI Publisher

When I try to view data after creating the data set, I get the following error:
Failed to load XML
XML Parsing Error: mismatched tag. Expected: . Location: http://172.20.17.142:9704/xmlpserver/servlet/xdo Line Number 2, Column 580:
Now when I remove those Presention variables (@{PV1}, @{PV2}) in the query with some hard coded values, it is working fine.
So I know it is the PV that's causing this error.
How can I work around it?
There is no way to create equivalent report without using the direct sql..
Thanks in advance

I have found a solution to this problem after some more investigation. PowerQuery does not support to use SQL statement as source for Teradata (possibly same for other sources as well). This is "by design" according to Microsoft. Hence the problem
is not because different PowerQuery versions as mentioned above. When designing the query in PowerQuery in Excel make sure to use the interface/navigation to create the query/select tables and NOT a SQL statement. The SQL statement as source works fine on
a client machine but not when scheduling it in Power BI in the cloud. I would like to see that the functionality within PowerQuery and Excel should be the same as in Power BI in the cloud. And at least when there is a difference it would be nice with documentation
or more descriptive errors.

Af:query with bind variables and Saved Search

I have a VO and view criteria(VC).
VC has a criteria item ObsoleteDate with range specified as bindVariables "dateFrm" and "dateTo" I dragged & dropped the named criteria as af:Query with table. Table toolbar has 2 buttons in which I set & clear the bind variables. Data is fetched as per as expected based on the VC & bind variables.
The problem is,
If I save my search with bind variables set and swap between the saved searches , all works fine. But the moment I clear bind variables & swap between searches.. "dateFrm" is populated and "dateTo" is null and I get an Exception oracle.jbo.AttrValException: JBO-27035: Attribute Obsolete Date: is required.
Why is this happening?? Saved search is supposed to save the VC with all the bind values set while saving and clearing bind variables shouldn't affect the saved search, right?? Or I have understood it wrong?
I am using JDeveloper 11.1.2.3.0
Thanks

ODT Query Window. Query with binding variable?

I have the ODT 11.1.0.7.20 installed.
In "Query Window", I execute an SQL with binding variables. But I only get ORA-01008 errors. How do I do that?
I want to double click an SQL and load it in "Query Window". How do I do that?
I want to right click an SQL and select "Open with Query Window". How do I do that?
In Query Window I want to load an SQL either by drag and drop or by select a function "Open SQL". How do I do that?
Why none of these functionalities work as you could expect?
Thanks,
Tobias

Finally i found the problem..
The problem was that i had to remove one line from the properties of my table departments, the property: selectedrowkeys, because it only passed the last selected row.
Still, i apreciate the help and i had to replace some code in the bean.java , because of the exception error and you didn't had to do that. Maybe i did some configuration in the wrong way and it went wrong.
Thanks for the help.

How to add '%' to a query with bind variables

Hi,
I am using oracle jdeveloper 11g.
I am trying to create a table to display rows using the below query in a jspx page,
select * from ade_txns where series='WORKPLACE_PT.11.1.1.8.0_GENERIC' and transaction like 'rkumara%'
I am using a view with query and binding variables as below,
select * from ade_txns where series= :p_series and transaction like :p_QAEngineer
I will be passing p_QAEngineer using binding variable using 'ExecuteWithParams' using a dropdown(eg: 'rkumara'). But I need to add a '%' to this value as I am using a 'LIKE' clause in my query.
I tried using,
select * from ade_txns where series= :p_series and transaction like :p_QAEngineer+'%'
But this is not working for me.
Can someone please tell me how i can solve this.
Thanks,
Ranjeet

does this help also?
How to add regular expression in viewobject bind variables

Repeated rows resulting from executeWithParams on query with bind variable

hi
Please consider this example application created using JDeveloper 11.1.1.3.0
at http://www.consideringred.com/files/oracle/2010/RepeatedRowsIssueApp-v0.01.zip
It has a View Object "EmployeesVO" based on a SQL query with a bind variable "EmailBVar".
The page "findEmployees.jspx" has executeWithParams dropped as an "ADF Parameter Form..." and the "EmployeesVOVI" collection as a table.
On "EmployeesVOVIIterator" the RangeSize has been modified from the default 25 to 10.
So, all straightforward stuff.
A scenario (sc1), running the page "findEmployees.jspx", specifying a value and clicking the "ExecuteWithParams" button results in repeated rows shown in the table, that is the first row (and subsequent rows) are repeated at row 11 (and subsequent rows),
as can be seen in the screencast at http://screencast.com/t/bn9QvV0qt
question:
- (q1) How can the repeated rows in scenario (sc1) be explained/avoided?
many thanks
Jan Vervecken

Thanks for your reply Nick Haralabidis.
it can be avoided by setting the EmployeesVO Access Mode to Range Paging and setting the Range Size to 10. Indeed, that does seem to avoid the repeating rows.
Now why you get this behavior when you don't specify Range Paging on the VO I don't know. It could be because: 1) it is a bug - the obvious answer ;) , 2) because setting the RangeSize on the EmployeesVOVIIterator without setting the Access Mode on the EmployeesVO to Range Paging is conflicting - but then again there is no warning or error produced by JDeveloper, 3) ...It does look like unintended behaviour, for a "default approach" like this.
In documentation section "39.1.5 Efficiently Scrolling Through Large Result Sets Using Range Paging " ...
at http://download.oracle.com/docs/cd/E14571_01/web.1111/b31974/bcadvvo.htm#ADFFD1179
... this Range Paging for a View Object seems to be described as an optimization, not as a requirement for functionally correct behaviour.
- about (q1)
Another approach that seems to avoid the repeated rows in scenario (sc1) is removing the value for the RangeSize attribute on the iterator, so the RangeSize is not specified.
Using the modified example application
at http://www.consideringred.com/files/oracle/2010/RepeatedRowsIssueApp-v0.02.zip
... this can be seen in scenario (sc2) in the screencast at http://screencast.com/t/0bpCo33i8J
Although, the documentation in section "22.4.2.2 Iterator RangeSize Attribute " ...
at http://download.oracle.com/docs/cd/E14571_01/web.1111/b31974/web_form.htm#ADFFD706
... does not seem to mention anything about not specifying the RangeSize attribute, it does say "... You can set it to -1 to have the full record set returned. ...".
As can be seen in scenario (sc2) the EL expression #{bindings.EmployeesVOVIIterator.rangeSize} resolves to -1 which suggests that not specifying the RangeSize attribute is the same as configuring the RangeSize attribute to -1.
questions:
- (q2) What is the preferred way to avoid having "the full record set returned", without having repeated rows as in scenario (sc1)?
- (q3) Is the default configuration of RangeSize="25" on the iterator intended behaviour (for an interator supporting an executeWithParams action)?

Create collection from query with bind variable

Create SAP B1 Query with Optional User Input Fields

Hi All... any help is greatly appreciated, I am new to this forum and hope to contribute in the near future once I become more of an expert with B1.
I have a query I need to build that will search about 10 UDF's. The problem is, I don't know how to make the user input fields optional within the query. Currently, I have the following queries as testing searching 2 UDF"s:
SELECT T0.[ItemCode], T0.[ItemName], T0.[OnHand] FROM OITM T0 WHERE T0.[U_Quality] = [%0] OR T0.[U_LengthFT] =[%1]
This query works when leaving one of the user input fields blank. However, the values it provides are wrong because it is an OR statement which will show item codes with a certain quality OR a certain size.
The following query is the same as above but switched the OR to AND:
SELECT T0.[ItemCode], T0.[ItemName], T0.[OnHand] FROM OITM T0 WHERE T0.[U_Quality] = [%0] AND T0.[U_LengthFT] =[%1]
This query provides me with the correct values but will not work if one of the user defined fields is not filled out.
How do I go about getting the results I want and not having the user fill out all the UDF's for the query to execute properly?

I think I figured it out
SELECT T0.ItemCode, T0.ItemName, T0.OnHand
FROM OITM T0
WHERE (T0.U_Quality = '[%0]' OR '[$0]' = '0') AND (T0.U_LengthFT ='[%1]' OR '[%1]' = '0')
SAP must be defaulting empty user input field values to "0"
I tried the above query and it worked!!!
Is there anything you can add if I am missing something?
Thanks, Alec.
