Mapping multiple columns of a table to single dimension using odi

Hi John,
Can we map multiple columns of a table to a single dimnesion?
For example, in RDBMS, for the employee details, Grade position etc will be in different columns, and in Planning these would be as members of one dimension.
So while loading data from oracle to essbase can we map these multiple columns to single dimension?
If yes how?

Hi,
In your staging area/target you can concatentate the columns.
So in your interface and on your target datastore, pick the column which is going to hold the details of the concatenation.
Then in the expression editor use the CONCAT function, or you could use ||
eg CONCAT(<sourceCol1>, <sourceCol2>)
or <sourceCol1> || <sourceCol2>
obviously you need to change the information between <sourceCol1> to your source datastore column
Cheers

How to update multiple columns from different tables using cursor.

Hi,
i have two tables test1 and test2. i want to udpate the column(DEPT_DSCR) of both the tables TEST1 and TEST2 using select for update and current of...using cursor.
I have a code written as follows :
DECLARE
v_mydept1 TEST1.DEPT_CD%TYPE;
v_mydept2 TEST2.DEPT_CD%TYPE;
CURSOR C1 IS SELECT TEST1.DEPT_CD,TEST2.DEPT_CD FROM TEST1,TEST2 WHERE TEST1.DEPT_CD = TEST2.DEPT_CD AND TEST1.DEPT_CD = 'AA' FOR UPDATE OF TEST1.DEPT_DSCR,TEST2.DEPT_DSCR;
BEGIN
OPEN C1;
     LOOP
          FETCH C1 INTO v_mydept1,v_mydept2;
          EXIT WHEN C1%NOTFOUND;
          UPDATE TEST2 SET DEPT_DSCR = 'PLSQL1' WHERE CURRENT OF C1;
          UPDATE TEST2 SET DEPT_DSCR = 'PLSQL2' WHERE CURRENT OF C1;
     END LOOP;
     COMMIT;
END;
The above code when run says that it runs successfully. But it does not updates the desired columns[DEPT_DSCR].
It only works when we want to update single or multiple columns of same table...i.e. by providing these columns after "FOR UPDATE OF"
I am not sure what is the exact problem when we want to update multiple columns of different tables.
Can anyone help me on this ?

oops my mistake.....typo mistake...it should have been as follows --
UPDATE TEST1 SET DEPT_DSCR = 'PLSQL1' WHERE CURRENT OF C1;
UPDATE TEST2 SET DEPT_DSCR = 'PLSQL2' WHERE CURRENT OF C1;
Now here is the upated PL/SQL code where we are trying to update columns of different tables --
DECLARE
v_mydept1 TEST1.DEPT_CD%TYPE;
v_mydept2 TEST2.DEPT_CD%TYPE;
CURSOR C1 IS SELECT TEST1.DEPT_CD,TEST2.DEPT_CD FROM TEST1,TEST2 WHERE TEST1.DEPT_CD = TEST2.DEPT_CD AND TEST1.DEPT_CD = 'AA' FOR UPDATE OF TEST1.DEPT_DSCR,TEST2.DEPT_DSCR;
BEGIN
OPEN C1;
LOOP
FETCH C1 INTO v_mydept1,v_mydept2;
EXIT WHEN C1%NOTFOUND;
UPDATE TEST1 SET DEPT_DSCR = 'PLSQL1' WHERE CURRENT OF C1;
UPDATE TEST2 SET DEPT_DSCR = 'PLSQL2' WHERE CURRENT OF C1;
END LOOP;
COMMIT;
END;
Please let us know why it is not updating by using using CURRENT OF

Sort functionality using MULTIPLE columns in a table control

Hi all,
I have a custom screen with table control.Now i need to provide SORT functinality in this screen for the columns in the table control.
My questins:
1.Is it possible to seelct MULTIPLE columns in a table control for SORTING?If yes,what explicit settings do i need to do while creatng the TABEL CONTROL in the screen?DO I need to select "Column selection " as MULTIPLE??
2.How do I write the code for SORT functinonality for multiple columns?
I know how to write the code for SORTING on basis of single column .
Thanks!

Hi Rob,
Thanks for the reply.
However I was thinking to apply the same logic as for single columns as follows:
types : begin of ty_fields,
            c_fieldname(20),
           end of ty_fields.
data : t_fields type table of ty_fields,
           wa_fields like line of t_fields.
WHEN 'SORTUP'.(Ascending)
      loop at TABLE tc01-cols INTO wa_tc01 where selected = 'X'.
      SPLIT wa_tc01-screen-name AT '-' INTO g_help g_fieldname.
      wa_fields-c_fieldname = g_fieldname.
      append wa_fields to t_fields.
      endloop.
      describe table t_fields lines l_index.
      c_count = 1.
      if c_count <= l_index.
      read table t_fields into wa_fields index c_count.
      case c_count.
      when '1'.
      l_field1 = wa_fields-c_fieldname.
      when '2'.
     l_field2 = wa_fields-c_fieldname.
    and so on depending on the no of columns in the table control...
      endcase.
      endif.
      SORT t_tvbdpl_scr BY l_fields1 l_fields 2......l_fieldn.
Let me know if the above method will work!Also for the above method to work will the type of fields(columns on whihc sort function will be applied) matter???
Thanks again for your time.

How to use a USER_DATASTORE to index multiple columns in different tables

I would appreciate if somebody can give an example or point to links with examples on how to use USER_DATASTORE on multiple columns in different tables. THe Oracle Text documentation only shows multiple columns in the same table.
Thanks in advance.

I am not sure why your getting the wrong results but you should seriously reconsider the approach your are taking. Using functions like this is very ineffecient and should be avoided at all cost.

Mapping multiple Siebel BC's to a single OPA entity

My colleague referred me to this forum, so glad to know there's support for such niched technology.
Wondering if anyone has tried mapping multiple BC's to the same OPA entity using IO? This is not possible via BO Mapping due to user-key constraint on Entity Name. However, thought this may be achievable w/ IO Mapping by defining IO Component user property.
The goal is to create multiple instances of an OPA entity based on different Siebel components. Initial attempts resulted in the last IC processed overwriting previous entity instances collected. Not sure if I missed additional development steps but wanted to verify w/ everyone before seeking alternative solution.
Thanks for sharing any advise or ideas.
Kevin

Hi Kevin, welcome to the forums.
With IO mappings you can map different Integration Components (ICs) into the same OPA entity under certain conditions.
The most typcial case of this is when you want to map the attributes of a child (ic) into the same entity that its parent is mapped to. The most important thing here is that there must be only one child otherwise it will not be clear which child to use to populate the attributes.
You can do this by specifying the following User Properities on the Integration Component that you want to merge with its parent
name: OPAEntity value: the OPA Entity that the Integration component should be mapped to
name: OPAParent value: the OPA Entity that will by the parent of the above property. If the entity specified in "OPA Entity" is global this property is not necessary
See "Integrtion Object User Properties" in Oracle Policy Automation Connector for Siebel Developer's Guide
Example
We have a mapping for the Employee Business object as an IO mapping (I'll use the "Employee Interface" IO). This Integration object has a subcomponent "Personal Address". We want to map both the Employee and Personal Address components to the global entity.
Because Employee is the top level component of the IO, it will be mapped to global by default.
To map Personal Address component to attributes int the global enity, I only need to set the User Property "OPAEntity" to "global". Attributes will be mapped automatically if name matches can be found, otherwise I can specify the attributes using the OPAAttribute property.
Note: this only works when there is one (or none) Personal Addresses for the Employee, if an attempt to load an employee with more than one Personal Address is made, the attributes of Personal Address is unknown.
Hope this helps
Cheers

Display 2 different structured internal tables in single screen using ALV

Hi,
I have two internal tables. Both has different structures. My requirement is to display both the internal tables in single screen using ALV Grid but NOT using OO ALV Grid display.
Is there any way of spliting the Final ALV display screen into two with two different headers and details as shown below.
Header1 for internal table 1
Data of internal table 1
Header1 for internal table 2
Data of internal table 2
Can anyone suggest a better way to display this.
Regards,
Senthil

hi
first think i can say ALV GRID means only for OO ALV it is not possible to display two I.T. data in singr report screen.
better to use of the fm: REUSE_ALV_BLOCK_LIST_DISPLAY
so that u can display both I.T. data in separate report list under single screen
Check the example programs:
BALVBT01 Testprogram ALV: Block list
BCALV_TEST_BLOCK_LIST Program BCALV_TEST_BLOCK_LIST

How to disaply multiple column of a table in a single flex datagrid column

Hi,
I have a table in my database which has say 3 column (Firstname,LastName,Location). I wanted to display these 3 different values in a single column in flex datagrid.
Could you please help me out in this
Thanks,
Pratik

Generally, in such scenarios each column is made corresponding to the column in database only and not single column.
However, we can setStyle of a datagrid to make it appear as if all three columns have been populated in single.
set verticalGridLines="false" for dataGrid. Further cosmetic changes can be made to realise the required look.
In some cases, labelFunction of a datagridColumn also suffices the need.

I am unable to sort multiple columns in a table created in Pages.

I had been using Appleworks up until I installed Lion and have now switched to iWork. I created a table within a Pages document and am able to sort a single column (using the Table Inspector and choosing Sort from Edit Rows and Columns) but the Sort option is grayed out when I attempt to sort multiple columns.
In another post, someone talked about this being a problem if you have merged fields. I do not believe I have done this (to be honest I don't know the function of merging fields).
This is very frustrating as I was easily able to sort these tables in Appleworks.

Thanks for your quick response! I have been trying that but then found that Numbers would only let me print in landscape view so I had to paste the table back into Pages. Is there a way to print in portrat view (from Numbers?)
Not so. In the lower left corner of the window, there's an icon that looks like a piece of paper. If you see this:
you are in Sheet View, or normal, mode. If you see this:
You are in Print View mode. Now you see the icons for portrait and landscape modes. Click your choice. Then arrange your content to fit the pages as you wish.

Map excel columns to oracle table column using forms 6i

Hello,
I am importing data from excel to oracle table using oracle forms 6i.
Suppose my table have 3 columns id, name,sal. The excel sheet i am importing having
3 or more colums, also excel sheet columns are not in order as per table columns.
i.e my table have id, name, sal
and excel have name, sal, id
my question is how can i map excel colums with table colums and insert it into table.
I am using oracle 6i forms (ole2 package).
Thanks

What was wrong with the first answer to the same question?

Can I update 2(or multiple) columns in a table based on one of update col?

Hi All,
I have a table emp:
empno number
,salary number
,comm number
Now, the comm column is always a % of the salary column (but still would like to store the comm in the table as a column).
Assuming that someone get a salary increment and I need to update the commission as well based on the new salary value, should I still use 2 update statements or is there anyway, I can achive in a single update clause itself?
example:
if the old values were:
=============
1234 10000 1000
and if I do the following,
update emp
set salary = salary + 3000
,comm = salary * 10/100
where empno = 1234;
the comm value still points to the old salary value and the table looks like:
emp:
===
1234 13000 1000
instead of:
1234 13000 1300 (10% of the new salary - 13000)
so, the only way to achieve this is to issue 2 update statements? Or is there any way of achieving in one single update statement? Please let me know.
Am on Oracle 10.2.0.3.0.
Thanks,
Srini.

Or you could create a after update trigger on salary column that updates comm whenever Sal updates.
What happens if someone else issues an update on salary and forgets to update the commission? Wont you have incorect data then?
Also, commision is a redundant column . I dont think it is a good idea to have computed values as a separate column.
Thanks,
Rajesh,

Problem about mapping 1 column with different tables..

Hi,
I have 3 Tables (I will give examples not exact tables but same structure and logic)
Cars :
   ID ( Car ID)
   Name
Planes :
   ID ( Plane ID)
   Name
Processes :
   ID ( Process ID )
   Type
   VehicleID {code}*Sample Processes Table Data*
{code:java}ID     Type      VehicleID
1          1               1
2          1               2
3          2               1
3          2               2{code}
When type is *1*, This is *Car* and means that *VehicleID* maps to *Cars Table*,
When type is *2*, This is *Plane* and means that *VehicleID* maps to *Planes Table*.
And So On 3, 4, 5, 6 .. for Additional tables.
How can i map something like that? I can not merge these tables, they all must be separated..
I used to handle this by writing native SQL with some functions, however with JPA i could not figure it out..
Thanks again
Regards.

I do not know an easy way to do this in pure JPA. EclipseLink though is able to do this using a variable one to one mapping:
http://wiki.eclipse.org/Introduction_to_Relational_Mappings_%28ELUG%29#Variable_One-to-One_Mapping
This can be set using a customizer or JPA like annotations:
@VariableOneToOne(
targetInterface=Vehicle.class,
cascade=PERSIST,
fetch=LAZY,
discriminatorColumn=@DiscriminatorColumn(name="TYPE", discriminatorType=INTEGER),
discriminatorClasses={
@DiscriminatorClass(discriminator="1", value=Cars.class),
@DiscriminatorClass(discriminator="2", value=Planes.class)

Excel source multiple column values to oledb destination single column in ssis 2012

Excel sheet has 4 columns which is filled with data till 500 rows on each column. I want to insert those excel data into single column(PolicyIds) and am using oledb destination. In excel souce i dont hav any column header. Can anyone suggest me how can i do
this effectively. (May be i can use script task to get range of data and use it as SQL variable). Is there any best approaches.
Sample excel
A          B             C             D
1001     1005       1009        1013

1003     1007       1011        1015
1004     1008       1012        1016

Inside Excel Source, use Data Access Mode - SQL Command as below:
select F1 from [Sheet1$] where F1 is not null
union all
select F2 from [Sheet1$] where F2 is not null
union all
select F3 from [Sheet1$] where F3 is not null
union all
select F4 from [Sheet1$] where F4 is not null

String search in multiple columns of a table

Hi,
I have a requirement in which i want to search a particular string say 'ABC' in columns col1,col2,col3 of table tab1. If the string is there in either of these columns i need to pick up that row.
Currently i am using 'INSTR' ,'OR' clauses to achieve this.
But it is taking long time to execute.
Can anybody suggest me an alternative for this which will give me better execution time.

Multiple Column hiding in advance table using Switcher

Hi All,
I am having requirement of hiding multiple columns in advance table using swithers.
Lets says I am searching for the the parties in party search page. If the party is of type person then two columns should be visible one is firstName and LastName.
and If party is of type organization then firstName and lastName column shpould be hidden and only the PartyName column should be visible.
Is this possible through switchers if yes please explain?
Br, 903096

Hi ,
This can be done through switcher case , along with switcher you also need to use SPEL binding the each of those attribute
that you wish to hide .
Go through delete exercise to understand how to implement switchers case .
Let me know if you need any help .

How to filter rows where multiple columns meet criteria, ignoring rows where only some columns meet criteria

Hi All,
Question: How do I filter rows out of a query where multiple columns are equal to a single question mark character?
Background: I'm using SQL 2008 R2. Furthermore, the part of my brain that helps me create less-than-simple queries hasn't been working for the last 4 days, apparently, and now I need help.
We have about 4,000 rows in a table. This data set was generated from an exported report, and many of the rows in the detail table were not actual data rows but were simply "header" rows. For those table rows, most of the columns have
a single question mark as the value.
Some of the detail rows have one or more question mark values, too, so it's important that these rows don't get filtered out.
When I include criteria like "WHERE col1 <> '?' AND col2 <> '?' AND col3 <> '?' AND col4 <> '?'", all rows with a question mark value for even a single one of those columns get filtered out. How do I filter out rows
where all columns 1-4 contain a question mark value?
Thanks for your help,
Eric

I just tried to create to create a scenario for you. Please see ig you're looking for something like this.
Create table test_Question_mark
RecordID INT identity(1,1),
Col1 varchar(10),
Col2 varchar(10),
Col3 varchar(10),
Col4 varchar(10),
insert into test_Question_mark (Col1, Col2, Col3, col4) values ('?','?','?','?')
insert into test_Question_mark (Col1, Col2, Col3, col4) values ('?','??','?','?')
insert into test_Question_mark (Col1, Col2, Col3, col4) values ('?','??','??','?')
insert into test_Question_mark (Col1, Col2, Col3, col4) values ('??','??','??','??')
insert into test_Question_mark (Col1, Col2, Col3, col4) values ('?','?','?','?')
insert into test_Question_mark (Col1, Col2, Col3, col4) values ('??','test ??','??','??')
insert into test_Question_mark (Col1, Col2, Col3, col4) values ('??','test ?','??','??')
--drop table test_Questio_mark
select * from test_Question_mark
select * from test_Question_mark
WHERE
(CHARINDEX('?', Col1,1) > 0 AND CHARINDEX('?', Col1, CHARINDEX('?', Col1,1)+1) = 0) AND
(CHARINDEX('?', Col2) > 0 AND CHARINDEX('?', Col2, CHARINDEX('?', Col2,1)+1) = 0) AND
(CHARINDEX('?', Col3,1) > 0 AND CHARINDEX('?', Col3, CHARINDEX('?', Col3,1)+1) = 0) AND
(CHARINDEX('?', Col4,1) > 0 AND CHARINDEX('?', Col4, CHARINDEX('?', Col4,1)+1) = 0)
--drop table test_Questio_mark
I hope above solution will help.
Thanks!
