Issue with data extracted to "loader" format

I only just noticed something weird (yet probably not directly related to sqldeveloper)
Using 3EA4, I see the following line when unloading a query result to "loader" format:
CONTINUEIF NEXT(1:1) = '#'
I assumed this is harmless , yet today I've noticed it cause sql*loader to systematically
ignore the first character of every line in the data section of the .ldr file!
I am using this format often as it conveniently bundles spec and data (ldr=ctl+dat),
but have never paid attention to this glitch before. Could this perhaps affect this
particular version of sql*loader only? Right now I only have access to the 10.2.0.1.0
win32 version that comes with XE10g. Can someone confirm?
If such a widespread (free, from Oracle, I assume attracted a lot of users) version
is affected, wouldn't it make sense to not generate the offending line from sqldeveloper?

Wow - on closer inspection I see sqldeveloper actually systematically includes
a leading space, whicn can then be eaten by the CONTINUEIF while enabling
the support for multi-line records.
My problem only occurred because I had stripped that leading space.
Every little thing counts, it seems :-(

Issues with data exported in CSV format

Hi,
I'm wondering if anyone else is having problems with exporting system data as a CSV? I can successfully run an export, however many of the CSV files contain superfluous line breaks resulting in the comma delimiting not working properly when viewing the records in Excel.
Does this sound familiar to anyone else?
Cheers,
Cameron

Are you talking about the case where you export some records and when you open using microsoft excel everything looks as if in a text file? If so,then yes. Infact yesterday I was exporting and having the issue. Donot remember having the issue before the upgrade. What I did is opened a blank microsoft excel sheet.Then File>Open and chose the csv file.Then modified in the text import wizard to get it in the right format.

Issue with Data Extraction from OAGIS 9 User Area Tags ...

We are working on displaying the data coming from OAGIS9 into Excel sheet. We created a custom Schema for the Excel sheet and are able to display all the data in OAGIS9 except for the ones in UserArea. We are facing issue in extracting data from tags present in UserArea of OAGIS 9 schema and transforming it into our Custom built schema.
Can you please suggest us some way in which we extract data from userArea?
Thanks in advance ~

Here is the example with instructions, we have just done it and working
1.You need to have the custom schema that is coming with in the <UserArea>/<any>
For example this custom schema is like this one shown below and you are using this CutomerPartyMaster of OAGIS
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<xs:schema xmlns="http://www.userarea.com/mdm/oagisextensions" elementFormDefault="qualified" targetNamespace="http://www.userarea.com/mdm/oagisextensions" xmlns:xs="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema">
<xs:element name="Customer" type="CustomerType" />
<xs:complexType name="CustomerType">
<xs:sequence>
<xs:element minOccurs="0" name="Gender" type="xs:string" />
<xs:element minOccurs="0" name="DOB" type="xs:date" />
<xs:element minOccurs="0" name="SSN" type="xs:string" />
<xs:element minOccurs="0" name="PAN" type="xs:string" />
</xs:sequence>
</xs:complexType>
</xs:schema>
and the Input data snippet will be like this inside CustomerPartyMaster
<tnsa:UserArea>
     <tnso:Customer>
          <tnso:Gender>string</tnso:Gender>
          <tnso:DOB>1980-10-13</tnso:DOB>
          <tnso:SSN>string</tnso:SSN>
          <tnso:PAN>string</tnso:PAN>
     </tnso:Customer>
</tnsa:UserArea>
where xmlns:tnsa="http://www.openapplications.org/oagis/9" and xmlns:tnso="http://www.userarea.com/mdm/oagisextensions"
Lets assume your Target Schema is like this where only DOB is coming from userarea
<CreateRequest>
<record>
<firstname></firstname>
<lastname></lastname>
<dob></dob>
</record>
</CreateRequest>
2.declare the name space of incoming userarea custom schema in your xsl file like this
xmlns:nsext="http://www.userarea.com/mdm/oagisextensions"
3.here is xsl code that copies element from CustomerPartyMaster/UserArea
<xsl:template match="/">
<imp1:CreateRequest>
<xsl:for-each select="/inp1:ESBProcessCustomerRequest/body/ns4:ProcessCustomerPartyMaster/ns4:DataArea/ns4:CustomerPartyMaster">
     <imp1:record>
<xsl:for-each select="ns4:UserArea/nsext:Customer/nsext:DOB">
          <imp1:dob>
          <xsl:value-of select="."/>
          </imp1:dob>
     <imp1:record>
</xsl:for-each>
where imp1 is target schema namespace
     ns4 is OAGIS standard namespace.

Issue with Date Conversion when loading XML File into Oracle 10g Database

Hello all,
I have the interface shown in the screenshot below. In it, amongst other actions, I'm mapping an XML file element representing a date to an Oracle table column defined as DATE. The source and target columns are highlighted in the screenshot.
!http://img223.imageshack.us/img223/1565/odiscr275.jpg!
When I execute the interface, I get the following error message:
java.lang.IllegalArgumentException at java.sql.Date.valueOf(Date.java:103)
I'm assuming this refers to the date conversion!
I've already tried replacing SRC_TRADES.DEAL_DATE with TO_DATE( SRC_TRADES.DEAL_DATE, 'DD/MM/YYYY' ) in the Implementation tab. This function was not recognised when I executed the interface, so it didn't work! The date value in the XML file is in DD/MM/YYYY format.
I'm guessing that Oracle SQL Date functions don't work in the Implementation tab. Please could somebody let me know:
1. Which Date Conversion function I could use instead?
2. Where I can find a reference for the methods/functions I can use in the Implementation tab (if such a reference exists)?
Cheers.
James

Hi.
Try to change the execution area to staging area. After You change it, write in the mapping box just SRC_TRADERS.DEAL_DATE. When You use TO_DATE, the source field typu should be varchar2, not date (as it is in your source datastore)

Issue with Data Extraction for Master data

Hi All,
I have requriment to enhance standard Datasource(0VENDOR_ATTR) to populate certain fields from table LFBK.
I have enhanced the datasource and the i am able to pull the data in ECC via RSA3.
After that i have replicated the Datasource in BI and have activated the Datasource and the enhanced fields are available in BI datasources and have created the transformation between Datasource and 0VENDOR.
when i run the infopackage, the new enhanced fields are not getting populated. I really wonder how the data is not coming to BI, when its is getting populated in RSA3 in ECC.
Request to give your solution to solve this issue.
Regards,
Gowrisankar

Hello Gowrisankar N K ,
After making changes to your 0VENDOR_ATTR DS, make sure that you had replicate DS at BI side.
if not then please first Replicate the DS & check the newly enhanced field is available in PSA.

Issue with Date Format

Hi All,
I m facing an issue with Date format in the prompt. I have used date presentation variables in my column formula as shown below:
FILTER("SKU Order Details"."Fulfilled Quantity" USING Time."Calendar Date" <= DATE '@{todate}{2900-01-01}')
The report returns data when I don't select any date range for start & end date prompts on the page. But when I select the start & end date values in the prompt, I m getting the following error:
Error Codes: OPR4ONWY:U9IM8TAC:OI2DL65P:OI2DL65P
State: HY000. Code: 10058. [NQODBC] [SQL_STATE: HY000] [nQSError: 10058] A general error has occurred. [nQSError: 46047] Datetime value 10/22/2009 12:00:00 AM from 10/22/2009 12:00:00 AM does not match the specified format. (HY000)
I included the following formulas for start & end date prompts:
Start Date prompt: case when 1=2 then License."Ips Creation Date" else cast ('1.1.1900' as date) end
End Date prompt: case when 1=2 then License."Ips Creation Date" else cast ('1.1.2900' as date) end
Can you please help me resolve the issue.
Thanks,
Kartik

Hi Nico,
I tried putting the format that you mentioned, I m getting an error message.
My prompts have the following formula :
Start: case when 1=2 then License."Creation Date" else cast('1.1.1900' as DATE) end
End: case when 1=2 then Time."Calendar Date" else cast('1.1.2900' as DATE) end
My column formula has the following syntax:
FILTER("SKU Order Details"."Fulfilled Quantity" USING Time."Calendar Date" between DATE '@{start}{1900-01-01}' AND DATE '@{end}{2999-01-01}')
Error Message:

Issue with Data Provider name in variable screen for BEx Analyzer

Hello all,
We got an issue with Data Provider name in Variable screen in BEx Analayzer.
We want to change the DataProvider name there to Description of the report instead of its Technical name.
Any inputs are appreciated.
Thanks
Kumar

You have to create a workbook to do this.
Refresh your query/report. In Bex analyser, there is one toolbar named BEx design toolbox, If you are not able to see it in analyser, right click on the toolbar space of BEx analyser and click on BEx design toolbox. Here, goto to design mode, by clicking on a sysbol like 'A'. after that place the curser where you want to see the Query description. and click on insert text (T) in BEx toolbox. click on it and check "Query description" in constant tab. in the general tab you need to assign a dataprovider, for that assign your query name in workbook settings (in Bex design toolbox). also check the "display caption" in general tab.

Issue with data dictionary -Table maintanance generator

Hi all,
I have an issue with Data dictionary, table maintenance generator. I have entered some records in a custom table (ZBCSECROLETOGRP) and changed the delivery class from C to A. When I create the table maintainance generator, I am encountered with the following errors:
1)Field ZBCSECROLETOGRP-PORTALGROUP shortened (new visible length: 000032)
2)0012 could not be generated
3)In TCTRL_ZBCSECROLETOGRP field LENGTH has the invalid value 01
My main motto is to create the table maintainace generator and transport to the furthur systems .
Please help.
ThnX in advance,
Vishal..

HI,
Regenerate the table maintenance by selecting the checkbox of "Modified field structure" => new entry & then save.
Also ensure that the new changes are not affecting old data bcz of data type changes. If that is the case, then delete the old records, regenerate table maint. & re-enter those records which you had deleted.
Thanks,
Best regards,

Performance issues with data warehouse loads

We have performance issues with our data warehouse load ETL process. I have run
analyze and dbms_stats and checked database environment. What other things can I do to optimize performance? I cannot use statspack since we are running Oracle 8i. Thanks
Scott

Hi,
you should analyze the db after you have loaded the tables.
Do you use sequences to generate PKs? Do you have a lot of indexex and/or triggers on the tables?
If yes:
make sure your sequence caches (alter sequence s cache 10000)
Drop all unneeded indexes while loading and disable trigger if possible.
How big is your Redo Log Buffer? When loading a large amount of data it may be an option to enlarge this buffer.
Do you have more then one DBWR Process? Writing parallel can speed up things when a checkpoint is needed.
Is it possible using a direct load? Or do you already direct load?

Issue with Date format - ABAP to XML

Dear Users,
We are currently facing an issue with the date formats in XML.
We have a system (.Net), which has a webservice that we are calling for information from SAP. We created a Proxy class in SAP from the WSDL file and have attempted to use the method that gets us required information based on the Timestamp passed from SAP. However, the timestamp that the INPUT structure uses has a data element XSDDATETIME_Z.
All we can send from SAP is a simple TIMESTAMP, but the .Net system doesn't accept it since it wants the timestamp in XML format i.e. <dd-mm-yyyy>T<hh:mm:ss>Z. SAP documentation says that the field should automatically do conversion from ABAP to XML format, but that doesn't happen. We don't want to build a string from Timestamp in the XML format and send it out since we might surely miss out on the different cases involved.
Can anyone please suggest a way for us to send the date out in the required XML format?
Many thanks!

Hi Vijay,
Look at the below sample code and it works fine, i guess there is something wrong in your code or conversion, post the actual code if you are still not able figure it out with the below example.
DATA: l_xml_string TYPE string,
      l_dat_time TYPE xsddatetime_z.
CALL FUNCTION 'CACS_DATE_GET_TIMESTAMP'
EXPORTING
   I_DATE                         = sy-datum
   I_TIME                         = sy-uzeit
IMPORTING
   E_TIMESTAMP                    = l_dat_time
EXCEPTIONS
   DATE_NOT_FILLED_BUT_TIME       = 1
   DATE_HAS_NO_VALID_FORMAT       = 2
   OTHERS                         = 3.
IF sy-subrc <> 0.
* MESSAGE ID SY-MSGID TYPE SY-MSGTY NUMBER SY-MSGNO
*         WITH SY-MSGV1 SY-MSGV2 SY-MSGV3 SY-MSGV4.
ENDIF.
CALL TRANSFORMATION id
SOURCE root = l_dat_time
RESULT XML l_xml_string.
IF sy-subrc EQ 0.
write: l_xml_string.
ENDIF.

Issue with Data Load to InfoCube with Nav Attrivutes Turned on in it

Hi,
I am having a issue with loading data to a InfoCube. When i turn
on the navgational attributes in the cube the data load is failing
and it just says "PROCESSED WITH ERRORS". when i turn them off
the data load is going fine. I have done a RSRV test both on
the infoobject as well as the cube and it shows no errors. What
could be the issue and how do I solve it.
Thanks
Rashmi.

Hi,
To activate a navigation attribute in the cube the data need not be dropped from the cube.
You can always activate the navigation attribute in the cube with data in the cube.
I think you have tried to activate it in the master data as well and then in the cube or something like that??
follow the correct the procedure and try again.
Thanks

Issue with Date Format in line Graph X-AXIS

Hi all,
I have a line graph, with data in x-axis and integer values in y-axis.
I am fetching data in Mon-dd-yyyy format but in graph (x-axis) it showing in yyyy-mm-dd format.
How to change this format.
Regards,
Krishna Prasad

Hi,
Basically you are trying to convert a date into date which is not advisable. Hence convert it to char and then equate it against a character value. Also do not use trunc as it will trim out the time part of the date.
select * from test
where to_char(dob,'RRRR/MM/DD HH24:MI:SS')=:p1Then pass the parameter

Formatting issues with date mergefield in word document with switches

I have placed date mergefield with switches in word template and getting the value from SQL , while printing unable to format the date as per appropriate switch.
Example : a) {={MERGEFIELD Date \@ "MM/dd/yyyy"}}
b) {={MERGEFIELD Date \* MERGEFORMAT} \@ "MM/dd/yyyy"}
Here Date is my Mergefield.
Can someone suggest on this?

Data considered as Text datatype in my case and getting this result from SQL query and replacing mergefield and not as Date datatype.
So, formatting might not be working in this case.
Any other suggestions??
Check Paul's construction of a straight mergefield. If that doesn't work, try mine with the QUOTE. Not sure why you would use a calculation field when you are not trying to do a calculation. Paul (Macropod) knows far more about fields in Word than I do.
