Is it possible to return an operator-type from a function/decode ?

Hi ,
I have a query that is calling a decode and based on the operator type (i.e <> , >= , <= etc ..) that it returns to compare 2 fields of a table
is this possible and if so could anyone advise me how to ?
below is my current declaration that gives invalid relational operator error
SELECT 1 into TmpCnt FROM Tbl1a where
a.id = ID and a.part = PART and a.parmn = TESTNAME
and a.paval DECODE(TESTCONDITION , 'LT' , '<' ,
'LE' , '<=' ,
'EQ' , '=' ,
'GE' , '>=' ,
'GT' , '>' ,
'NE' , '<>' ) TPARAMVALUE ';
tks & rdgs

You can't replace an operator with an expression.
For a limited number of operators you may be able to code this explicitly, something like...
SELECT 1
FROM   tbl1a
WHERE a.ID = ID
AND    a.part = part
AND    a.parmn = testname
AND    DECODE (testcondition,
         'LT', CASE WHEN a.paval <= tparamvalue THEN 'Y' END,
         'LE', CASE WHEN a.paval = tparamvalue THEN 'Y' END,
         'EQ', CASE WHEN a.paval >= tparamvalue THEN 'Y' END,
         'GE', CASE WHEN a.paval >= tparamvalue THEN 'Y' END,
         'GT', CASE WHEN a.paval > tparamvalue THEN 'Y' END,
         'NE', CASE WHEN a.paval != tparamvalue THEN 'Y' END) = 'Y'Otherwise you are looking at Dynamic SQL.

PowerShell: Possible to return a DataReader object from a function call

I have to interact with several different db's. I was wondering how I could use a common Function for the connection and commnad params and have it return a DatReader object that I then could evaluate?
Example: (psuedo-code)
Function SqlCmd(Db, instance, command) {... return <DataReader onject>}
$Datareader= SqlCmd Db instance command
if ($Datareader.HasRows) {..to something..}
Thanks
TR

Hi TR,
This is possible by using the Dot.Net Sql objects. Below is a small function which takes a connection string and a SQL query string and returns a DataReader object:
function
Get-SQLData()
param (
   [string]$sqlConnectionString,
   [string]$query
# Create a connection to the OLAP Database
$connection
=
New-Object
System.Data.SqlClient.SqlConnection
$sqlConnectionString
$connection.Open()
if (!$?)
{throw
"Could not open the connection."}
$command
=
New-Object
System.Data.SqlClient.sqlCommand
$query,
$connection
$dataReader
=
$command.ExecuteReader()
,$dataReader
The most important thing to note in this entire function in the comma in front of the $dataReader at the end of the function. As PowerShell implicitly tries to unpack collection objects, this comma forces the collection to
be returned intact allowing you to use it as required. So here is an example of usage:
$dr
=
Show-SQLData
$sqlConnectionString
$query
if ($dr.HasRows)
   while ($dr.Read())
"$($dr[0]) $($dr[1]) $($dr[2])"
Hope that helps!

Returning an array type from a local method in Web Dynpro Java application

Hi,
In my project, we have a requirement to display 18 rolling months along with the year, starting from current month.
How I am going to approach is that I will get the system date and get the current month and send the month and year value to a local method which will return 18 rolling months along with the year.
But, when I tried to create a new method there is no option to return an array type. It was greyed out.
So, we can not return an array type from a method from Web Dynpro for Java application?
If so, what is the alternative and how am I going to achieve it?
I will appreciate your help!
Regards
Ram

HI
You can create new methods in
//@@begin others
private ArrayList MyMethod(){
// ** Put your code here
return new ArrayList();
//@@end
Other option are create a context node with cardinality 0...n with one or more attributes, and in your method create the needed registers into this node. To read this values, you only need to read your context node.
Best regards

How to return a entire table from a Function in Oracle?

Can anyone pls let me know if there is some way to return an entire table from a function which is called from a stored procedure?
Thanks

> Can anyone pls let me know if there is some way to return an entire table from a function which

For what purpose?
Do you realise that this means pulling Megabytes (or even many Gugabytes) of data from disk, into the buffer cache, and then copying that data into PL/SQL memory (using a function) in order to give a stored proc that data?
This is just plain crazy.. resource wise, performance wise, scalability wise.. this is exactly how NOT to use Oracle.
Why don't you instead tell us what problem you want to solve. Forget for the moment what you think the solution should be. (and asking us how to get a potentially flawed solution, to work)
Let's get an accurate problem definition so that we can provide you with suggestions and recommendation on what Oracle features can be used to address that problem.

Is it possible to run an operating system from an external hard drive?

Really weird question here, but I've always wanted to know this. I have a MBP 13" mid-2012 and I installed a 256GB SSD. I currently have OSX 10.9 and Windows 8.1 installed on the drive, but is it possible to actually run an operating system from an external hard drive. I don't want to install anymore operating systems onto the internal SSD because I don't want to run out of space. So, I'm wondering can I install Linux on an external hard drive, the same way I would on an internal hard drive and just plug it in via USB 3 or Thunderbolt? Is it actually possible to use a computer this way? I know I can boot from a usb stick, so is it possible to actually use a computer with an operating system installed in an external hard drive?

windows don't support being installed on usb mass storage installs like usb

Is it Possible to import an IDoc type from R/3 into APO system

Hi Gurus ,
Could you please guide if we can import an IDoc type from R/3 system to APO system ?? If yes , can you please give the guidelines / step - by - step procedure for this.
Thanks in advance ,
Roseline

hi
yes u can export an idoc from r/3 to a legacy system.
the brief outline is as follows:
1. set up an rfc connection. it has to be 'T' type in t-code sm59
configure the saprfc.ini file if on windows based os. if on unix based os configure rfcexec.c to have the login details of apo system.
2.set up logical systems( at least 1 each for r/3 and apo) using T-code SALE.
3.assign clients to the logical sytems using T-code SALE..
4.create ports using tcode we20.
5. create idoc segments using we30 and release.
6. create idoc type using we31.
7. create message type using we81.
8. assign message to idoc using we82.
9.build a customer model using tcode bd64.
10. create an outbound process code usint tcode we41.
it will help if you specify your idoc that you want to use- for vendor, customer and material there are predefined distributions and idocs.
Thanks.

Possibility of returning derived type from inherited operator

Hello forum,
I am wondering the possibility of returning a derived type from an inherited operator. A test case would include two class definitions such as:
Public Class Base
Dim _a
Public ReadOnly Property A As Integer
Get
Return _a
End Get
End Property
Public Shared Operator +(ByVal base1 As Base, _
ByVal base2 As Base) As Base
Return New Base(base1.A + base2.A)
End Operator
Public Sub New(ByVal a As Integer)
_a = a
End Sub
End Class
Public Class Derived
Inherits Base
Public Sub New(ByVal a As Integer)
MyBase.New(a)
End Sub
End Class
and implementation such as:
Dim derivedA As Derived = New Derived(1)
Dim derivedB As Derived = New Derived(1)
Dim derivedResult As Derived = derivedA + derivedB
'would like result as derived, not base!
This test case returns the error that the derivedResult cannot by cast to the base type (as this is how the operator is defined). I am wondering: is there a way to change the operator definition so that the derived type is returned from the operation? There
could be many derived types and avoiding overloading the method in each type definition could reduce the amount of code.
Many thanks.

I'm just Frank, not "Mr. Smith". ;-)
I suspect that Reed is onto it with generics. He's quite familiar with it and in a question I posted a few years ago - about derived classes - he answered it using generics.
Let's see what you or he comes up with. :)
Still lost in code, just at a little higher level.
Haha, I was like "who is Mr. Smith.... oh yeah, that's Frank's last name". ;)
@James3210: same here... it's just Reed. Wearing a shirt with a collar is about as formal as I get. :)
Anyway, back to the subject at hand, I think the generic method in conjunction with the operator overload is the way to go. Since you'll have to write the operator on each class anyway, at least you can copy-paste the operator code and then just change
the type used for "T":
Public Class FooBase
Private anInteger As Integer
Protected Shared Function Add(Of T As {FooBase, New})(source As T, target As T) As FooBase
Return New T() With {.anInteger = source.anInteger + target.anInteger}
End Function
Public Shared Operator +(source As FooBase, target As FooBase) As FooBase
Return FooBase.Add(Of FooBase)(source, target)
End Operator
End Class
Public Class DerivedFoo
Inherits FooBase
Public Overloads Shared Operator +(source As DerivedFoo, target As DerivedFoo) As DerivedFoo
Return FooBase.Add(Of DerivedFoo)(source, target)
End Operator
End Class
Public Class DerivedFooTwo
Inherits FooBase
Public Overloads Shared Operator +(source As DerivedFooTwo, target As DerivedFooTwo) As DerivedFooTwo
Return FooBase.Add(Of DerivedFooTwo)(source, target)
End Operator
End Class
In this example the shared Add() method is internal to the FooBase objects, but you could make the access modifier public if you wanted to expose the method for direct use.
-EDIT-
Sorry, I forgot you wanted to return the object type from the operator, not the internal result. I've updated the code to return a new object instance.

How to use an Object Type from Another Database

Hi,
I have this requirement that I need to call a stored procedure from another DB (db1) but I am having a problem with this because one of the input parameters uses an object type defined in that DB (db1). Is it possible to use an object type from another database? TIA!

We can't use a remote type as procedure argument, even with the same OID.

Return a flat file from an RFC

Hi,
I have created a function module that at the moment returns 4 tables. I want to create a flat file based on these tables and return that file from the function instead of the tables. I can create a flat file using the function GUI_DOWNLOAD.
Is there a way to return a flat file from the function?
Regards,
Mark

No, but you can return all four tables in single flat table. First you would need to create a structure in SE11, it would have one field, of type string. In your function module interface, you would have a tables parameter like the structure that you just created. No in the code of the function module, instead of writing your data of each internal table to the corresponding tables parameter to update the one table with the flat structure.
Make Sense?

WSDL operation type possible in PI

Hi folks,
Normally a wsdl (webservice) can have multiple action types, for example a particuar service can be used to show distance between 2 points, validate addresses, etc etc,
ideally the wsdl will have in it a wsdl operation type indicating what the consumer of theservice needs out of the service,
But in PI i havn't come across something similar where in the wsdl generates an operation type..
Is it somethng possible in PI?
I don't want to use a field in the schema (Request type) indicating this intent...but instead create a wsdl operation ....

NO , you cannot create multiple opearations for a WSDL in PI.
You have to use External tool ( Altova XML SPY) to do that, then you can import the WSDL in XI to check it.
But you can't create mutilple operations except one request , one response and a fault message type.

Container operation type single

hi all
I am facing a problem. i have a BPM which has a block step-->Propertie mode=ForEach. inside this block i define some container operation type single whichs ones take some values. i need that the values of the containers elements update for each message in the block(ForEach).is it possible or i need to define the contasiners as multiline??
T&R
Rodrigo

hi,
there no way to define it as single and update the value.
i need the those values to pass them as IMPORT to a Message Mapping. so the containers has to be singles.
if no, i have to define another step in the BPM to get the first value of the all multiline container operation??
thanks.
