Loading Null values from source to target

Hello all,
Please help me in this issue....
I am trying to load data from source ( state column, varchar50) into target (state column,varchar10).....
in my source i have 10records for state...... 9states with lenght<10 and 1 NULL value......
when i am trying to load the records from source to target...i am getting this error.....
12899 : 72000 : java.sql.SQLException: ORA-12899: value too large for column "TARGET"."STATE" (actual: 11, maximum: 10)
why is taking the lenght of NULL as 11...........
Thanks

there might be some special characters or international characters instead of Varchar2(10 byte ) try varchar2(10 char) and try again. As some of the unicode symbols or characters can take two byes even though they are single characters

RRI - Jump query, unable to pass the variable value from source to target

Hi,
I've a source query which has a variable on 0vendor, from this query i jump to another query for which i want to pass the this variable value, in the target query i've vendor in free characteristics (no filter or variable in there), and in RSBBS i tried the assignment details options keeping vendor as generic, tried variable and the variable name but nothing seem to work.
But when query is run i can jump into target query but the vendor variable value doesnt get passed thru the values i get in target query is for all rather than for the variable entered vendor value in the source.
btw we're in NW2004s.
any help appreciated with points.
thanks
Mayil

Anyways, I read somewhere that a variable with replacement path in target query would work, tried it seem to work.
let me know if there other way to do it without creating a variable in target query.
thanks

To extract null Values from the source in Infopackage selections - Very Urg

Hi All,
I need to pull the data which has null values from source. I tried to write routine by giving l_t_range-low = '' , space. nothing is working.
Please guide me with sample code.
Very Urgent.
Regards
Mano

Hi Mario.
Assuming that you want to avoid uploading of records having
zero for a keyfigure:
Create a startroutine for transfer rules and add this coding:
DELETE DATAPAK WHERE VALUE = '0'.
OR
LOOP AT DATAPAK.
IF DATAPAK-VALUE = 0..
DELETE DATAPAK.
ENDIF.
ENDLOOP.
'VALUE' represents the fieldname in transferstructure
Please let me know if i misundersttod the issue.

Wants to eliminate null values from mapping queue

Hi All,
How can I eliminate null values from 'display queue' of a target mapping.
Can it be done through a UDF? Kindly help.
Because of null value, it is creating issue in the mapping logic.
Thanks,
John

We can remove null values using node functions.
Check the below thread:
Re: How to remove [] form Message Mapping Display Queue
Or
Try with the below UDF:
for (int i=0; i<a.length;i++)
if (! a<i>.equals(ResultList.SUPPRESS) || ! a<i>.equals(""))
result.addValue(a<i>);
Thanks,

GG configuration - Changes are not replicating from Source to Target

Hi,
I am new in golden gate configuration. I have set up GG between two oracle databases to replicate the changes from source to target database.
But when I update or insert in HR.JOBS table in source, it is not propagating to target. I didn't find any error in error log.
Could you please help me to suggest the configuration I did wrong here?

Need help Take out the null values from the ResultSet and Create a XML file

hi,
I wrote something which connects to Database and gets the ResultSet. From that ResultSet I am creating
a XML file. IN my program these are the main two classes Frame1 and ResultSetToXML. ResultSetToXML which
takes ResultSet & Boolean value in its constructor. I am passing the ResultSet and Boolean value
from Frame1 class. I am passing the boolean value to get the null values from the ResultSet and then add those
null values to XML File. When i run the program it works alright and adds the null and not null values to
the file. But when i pass the boolean value to take out the null values it would not take it out and adds
the null and not null values.
Please look at the code i am posing. I am showing step by step where its not adding the null values.
Any help is always appreciated.

Null values from DB2 cause problems

Hi,
I have another problem with database link to DB2 using IBM iSeries Access for Linux on 64 bit OEL5 with Oracle Database gateway and unixODBC 2.2.14.
DB link works. However, null values from DB2 cause problems. Date columns that are null on db2 return a date '30.11.0002', and character columns that are null return an error ORA-28528: Heterogeneous Services datatype conversion error.
isql returns correct results.
How can i fix this? Perhaps set some parameters for data conversion on the gateway?
Thank you.

If the driver is not fully ODBC level 3 compliant and misses functions, we're lost. But sometimes the drivers are ODBC level 3 compliant but miss the correct 64bit implementation. In those cases we can tell the gateway to use the 32bit ODBC level 3 standard by setting in the gateway init file:
HS_FDS_SQLLEN_INTERPRETATION=32

How can I delete null values from List Item?

Hi Friends,
I used List item for field job_Type, I entered values in List item at design time through property pallet. When I run form I will see null values in this List Item.
How can I remove these null values from the List?
Best regards,
Shahzad

Dear Shahzad,
It can be removed by adding the following code in the When-new-Form-Instance.
Set_item_property('List name', required, property_true);
:block_name.list_name := <put your default value here>; (If you didn't oput the default value, then you will get some problem and the cursor may not navigate away from the list).

How to post null values from h:inputText?

Hello,
I have a form made of h:inputText fields that map to an entity class as the backing bean. Whenever I post the form from a web page, all the fields that I did not fill out and that are mapped to String fields in the entity class are set to "" (empty string) instead of null.
However, I would like to post null values to my entity, because that would indicate that the user did not fill out the field. In other contexts (outside of the web app) it is possible to set the fields to empty strings, but from the web app it should always be null. How can I get JSF to do this correctly?
Also, when reading entitys with null values from the database, these are converted to empty h:inputText fields, so this direction works as expected.
Ulrich

I haven't seen a solution for this as far.
This is how I do it:
public void action() {
    if (isEmpty(inputValue)) {
        // do your thing
    } else {
        // do your thing
public static boolean isEmpty(Object value) {
    if (value == null) {
        return true;
    if (value instanceof String && ((String) value).trim().length() == 0) {
        return true;
    if (value instanceof Collection && ((Collection) value).size() == 0) {
        return true;
    // And go so on .. make it an utility method.
    return false;
}

How to replace NULL values from main table

Dear all,
I like to remove the NULL values from a main table field. Or the question is how to replace any part of the string field in MDM repository main table field.
e.g. I have a middle name field partly the value is NULL in some hundreds of records, I like to replace NULL values with Space
any recommendation.
Regards,
Naeem

Hi Naeem,
You can try using Workflows for automatically replacing NULLs with any specific value.
What you can do is: Create a workflow and set trigger action as Record Import, Record Create and Record Update. So, that whenever any change will occur in the repository; that workflow will trigger.
Now create an assignment expression for replacing NULLs with any specific value and use that assignment expression in your workflow by using Assign Step in workflow.
For exiting records, you will have to replace NULLs manually using the process given by Preethi else you can export those records in an Excel spreadsheet which have NULLs and then replace all NULLs with any string value and then reimport those records in your MDM repository.
Hope this will solve your problem.
Regards,
Varun

i need to remove null values from the output
Hello,
What exactly do you mean with "remove", to filter the rows out from result set or to replace the null value by an other value e.g. 0? This can be done with the
ISNULL function:
ISNULL(case when ac.new_businessstartdate > = CTE.scheduledstart
then (CTE.scheduleddurationminutes) end, 0) as PreStartHours, ...

Prevent null values from displaying in answers OBIEE 11g

Is there any possibilities in OBIEE to Prevent null values from displaying in answers
For example, If i have two records in table
TV         cost=NULL(having agg rule sum in BMM layer)
RADIO   cost=10(having agg rule sum in BMM layer)
in answers i get two records
TV       NULL
RADIO 10
but i want to get one, only with not null cost

Just want to clarify your question,You want to eliminate the NULL values from the report am i right? If that is the case then put the filter COST <> NULL.
Do let me know the updates?
Thanks,

Error while selecting NULL value from Popup Key LOV(numeric or value error)

Hi,
I have a item P1_DEPTNO with following properties.
P1_DEPTNO - Popup Key LOV (Displays description, returns key value)
LOV - P1_DEPT_LOV
select deptname d, deptno r from deptP1_DEPTNO item properties
List of Values
Named LOV - P1_DEPT_LOV
Display Null - Yes // changed to Yes, so that it can accept NULL values.
Null display value - NULL
Null return value -   (blank)PL\SQL Process -
declare
v1 number;
begin
if :P1_DEPTNO is null OR :P1_DEPTNO = '' then
    v1 := 0;
else
    v1 := :P1_DEPTNO;
end if;
// rest of the PL\SQL process
end;Now, when I run the page and select NULL value from Popup LOV and submit, I get the following error.
ORA-06502: PL/SQL: numeric or value error: character to number conversion error.When, I select any other value other than NULL, then it's working perfectly fine.
Only in case of NULL value, I am getting this error.
ANY idea, why this error is coming??
Thanks,
Deepak

Hi Varad,
I did the following change
Null display value - (blank) // by default it is displaying '%' in the select this
Null return value - -1
but when I select % (null value) from the popup list, it displays the return value -1 in the text field.
My question is why it is displaying the return value -1 in the text field...*It should display the display value in the text field (i.e blank in this case)*
then, I did the following change
Null display value - (blank) // by default it is displaying '%' in the select this
Null return value - // a single space, so that when I select %(null value) from the list, it should display blank in the text field...
then I did the following change in the PL\SQL process.
PL\SQL process
declare
v1 number;
begin
if :P1_DEPTNO = ' ' then // -- checking the value of single space ' ' when we select %(null) in the popup list, BUT even I select %(null), control is not coming here.
    v1 := 0;
else
    v1 := :P1_DEPTNO;
end if;
// rest of the PL\SQL process
end;Thanks,
Deepak

How to Load Historical values from Material Prices

Hi
I have to load historical values from Material Prices.
I'm using extractors 0CO_PC_ACT_02 and 0CO_PC_ACT_05.
Do you know how I can do this in a easy way?
Help is appreciated.
thanks in advance.
best regards

Hi Joao,
This extractor0CO_PC_ACT_05 takes the data from table MBEW. ( data for the current period, previous period and last period of the previous year )
If material ledger is active, then it takes the information from table ckmlhd for those materials.
It does not look like fetching from MBEWH.
Please validate my above comments with sample extraction for a material and plant.
If that is the case, I would suggest you have to create a custom extractor based on MBEWH to get the historic price data and with 0CO_PC_ACT_05 you can get the prices for the previous period as they get completed .
0CO_PC_ACT_02 gets you the inventory value and not the price in the same way.
You might have to think about 0CO_PC_ACT_06 and 0CO_PC_ACT_07, if you have project stock and sales order stock in your business scenario.
Please let me know, how this goes.
Thanks,
Krishnan.
