NCo 3 crashes when invoking functions that return a time field

I'm using NCo 3 (.NET 2 target framework) with Visual Studio 2010. When I invoke a function that returns time fields (like BAPI_ALM_ORDER_GET_DETAIL) NCo crashes with the following message:
SAP.Middleware.Connector.RfcTypeConversionException: Cannot convert 240000 into TIME (HHmmss)
I'm currently using NCo version 3.0.0.42. Is there a newer version? Obviously this is a bug inside the NCo library which I can't fix from the outside rendering the connector almost useless.
Is this a known problem? Does anyone know if it is already fixed in newer revisions of NCo?

I'm using NCo 3.02 (.NET 4 target framework) with Visual Studio 2010.
When I invoke a function that returns date fields (like BAPI_SALESORDER_GETLIST) NCo crashes with the following message:
SAP.Middleware.Connector.RfcTypeConversionException: Cannot convert DOCDATE....
Below is the code I'm using:
              Dim customer_orderAPI As IRfcFunction = ecc.Repository.CreateFunction("BAPISALESORDER_GETLIST")
                customer_orderAPI.SetValue("CUSTOMER_NUMBER", "0000020000")

                Else

  • I get an error when i try to execute a function that returns a date value

    Hi,
    I'm new in ODP.NET, i'm make a package that contains a function that returns a date i.e.
    Package Body General_pkg is
    Function Get_Day Return Date is
    vd_day date;
    Begin
    select sysdate into vd_day from dual;
    return vd_day;
    end Get_Day;
    End General_pkg;
    i use the next code to execute the function:
    OracleCommand cmdData = new OracleCommand("General_pkg.Get_Day", cnx);
    cmdData.CommandType = Commandtype.StoredProcedure;
    OracleParameter PRM;
    PRM = new OracleParameter();
    PRM.ParameterName = "VDATE";

    When i execute this code, i have and exception, which say "identifier GENERAL_PKG.Get_Day must be declare..."
    Obviously the package is correctly created in ORACLE i tested first in sql plus and it works but in ODP.NET they don't recognize the package or the function i don't know... please help!!!

    OOOOOPSS.... i forgot that i change the user in my conecction string that's why it didn't work...
    i guess i had to much beer last night.;. :)

  • HT204088 Why does AppStore crash when I try to return to Utilities category after viewing a second or third app (AppStore quits ,iPad (1.1) goesto home page with AppStore on it. 20+ of 32GB available, 28 apps installed, iOS 5.1.1 (says sw "up to date")

    My ipad(1.1) jumps out of Appstore after I've viewed 2or 3 apps, seems to be happening more often now. It returns to the page the Appstore icon is on. When I select Appstore again, it opens on the page of the last app downloaded, then I can return and browse Utilities category until next crash. It has 20+ GB available of 32GB, 28 apps installed, I don't use iTunes. I don't know what OS is installed, it's not cellular enabled. I haven't checked other categories and unsure if reducing open browser tabs affects the problem, possibly lets Appstore run longer before crashing. It always crashes when I attempt to return to the category. OSVersion is 5.1.1, Update Check says software is up to date. It has crashed if I scroll thru the pages of apps too fast.

  • SOLVED: How can I use or call a function that returns %ROWTYPE?

    Hi
    edit: you can probably skip all this guff and go straight to the bottom...In the end this is probably just a question of how to use a function that returns a %rowtype.  Thanks.
    Currently reading Feuerstein's tome, 5th ed. I've downloaded and run the file genaa.sp, which is a code generator. Specifically, you feed it a table name and it generates code (package header and package body) that will create a cache of the specified table's contents.
    So, I ran:
    HR@XE> @"C:\Documents and Settings\Jason\My Documents\Work\SQL\OPP5.WEB.CODE\OPP5.WEB.CODE\genaa.sp"
    749  /
    Procedure created.
    HR@XE> exec genaa('EMPLOYEES');which generated a nice bunch of code, viz:
    create or replace package EMPLOYEES_cache is
        function onerow ( EMPLOYEE_ID_in IN HR.EMPLOYEES.EMPLOYEE_ID%TYPE) return HR.EMPLOYEES%ROWTYPE;
        function onerow_by_EMP_EMAIL_UK (EMAIL_in IN HR.EMPLOYEES.EMAIL%TYPE) return HR.EMPLOYEES%ROWTYPE;
        procedure test;
    end EMPLOYEES_cache;
    create or replace package body EMPLOYEES_cache is
        TYPE EMPLOYEES_aat IS TABLE OF HR.EMPLOYEES%ROWTYPE INDEX BY PLS_INTEGER;
        EMP_EMP_ID_PK_aa EMPLOYEES_aat;

        EMP_EMAIL_UK_aa EMP_EMAIL_UK_aat;
        function onerow ( EMPLOYEE_ID_in IN HR.EMPLOYEES.EMPLOYEE_ID%TYPE)
            return HR.EMPLOYEES%ROWTYPE is
            begin
                return EMP_EMP_ID_PK_aa (EMPLOYEE_ID_in);
            end;
        function onerow_by_EMP_EMAIL_UK (EMAIL_in IN HR.EMPLOYEES.EMAIL%TYPE)
            return HR.EMPLOYEES%ROWTYPE is
            begin
                return EMP_EMP_ID_PK_aa (EMP_EMAIL_UK_aa (EMAIL_in));
            end;
        procedure load_arrays is
            begin

                    end if;
                end loop;
            end test;
        BEGIN
            load_arrays;
        end EMPLOYEES_cache;
    /which I have run successfully:
    HR@XE> @"C:\Documents and Settings\Jason\My Documents\Work\SQL\EMPLOYEES_CACHE.sql"
    Package created.
    Package body created.I am now trying to use the functionality within the package.
    I have figured out that the section
        BEGIN
            load_arrays;
        end EMPLOYEES_cache;
    /is the initialization section, and my understanding is that this is supposed to run when any of the package variables or functions are referenced. Is that correct?
    With that in mind, I'm trying to call the onerow() function, but it's not working:
    HR@XE> select onerow(100) from dual;
    select onerow(100) from dual
    ERROR at line 1:
    ORA-00904: "ONEROW": invalid identifier

    ERROR at line 1:
    ORA-00936: missing expressionHe provides the code genaa.sp, and a very brief description of what it does, but doesn't tell us how to run the generated code!
    Now, I have just done some googling, and it seems that what I am trying to do isn't possible. Apparently %ROWTYPE is PL/SQL, and not understood by SQL, so you can't call onerow() from sql. Correct?
    So I try wrapping the call in an exec:
    HR@XE> exec select employees_cache.onerow(100) from dual;
    BEGIN select employees_cache.onerow(100) from dual; END;
    ERROR at line 1:

    Of course, now that I'm looking at it again, it seems that the way to go is indicated by the first error:
    PLS-00428: an INTO clause is expected in this SELECT statement
    So am I supposed to create a type of EMPLOYEES%ROWTYPE in a PL/SQL procedure, and the idea of this code, is that the first call to onerow() runs the initialiation code, which populates the cache, and all subsequent calls to onerow() (whether by my session or any other) will use the cache?
    I've had a stab at this, but still, no joy:
    create or replace procedure testcache is
        emp employees%rowtype;
        begin
            select employees_cache.onerow(100) from dual into emp;
            dbms_output.put_line('Emp id: ' || emp.employee_id);
        end testcache;

    Ha, figured it out
    >
    Hopefully you also figured out that the example is just that: a technical example of how to use certain Oracle functionality. Unfortunately it is also an example of what you should NOT do in an actual application.
    That code isn't scaleable, uses expensive PGA memory, has no limit on the amount of memory that might be used and, contrary to your belief will result in EVERY SESSION HAVING ITS OWN CACHE of exactly the same data if the session even touches that package.
    Mr. Feuerstein is an expert in SQL and PL/SQL and his books cover virtually all of the functionality available. He also does an excellent job of providing examples to illustrate how that functionality can be combined and used. But the bulk of those examples are intended solely to illustrate the 'technical' aspects of the technology. They do not necessarily reflect best practices and they often do not address performance or other issues that need to be considered when actually using those techniques in a particular application. The examples show WHAT can be done but not necessarily WHEN or even IF a given technique should be used.
    It is up to the reader to learn the advantages and disadvantages of each technicalogical piece and determine when and how to use them.

    That is correct. To be used by SQL you would need to create SQL types using the CREATE TYPE syntax. Currently that syntax does not support anything similar to %ROWTYPE.

    >
    NO! That is a common misconception. Each session has its own set of package variables. Any session that touches that package will cause the entire EMPLOYEES table to be queried and stored in a new associative array specifically for that session.
    That duplicates the cache for each session using the package. So while there might be some marginal benefit for a single session to cache data like that the benefit usually disappears if multiple sessions are involved.
    The main use case that I am aware of where such caching has benefit is during ETL processing of staged data when the processing of each record is too complex to be done in SQL and the records need to be BULK loaded and the data manipulated in a loop. Then using an associative array as a lookup table to quickly get a small amount of data can be effective. And if the ETL procedure is being processed in parallel (meaning different sessions) then for a small lookup array the additional memory use is tolerable.
    Mitigating against that is the fact that:
    1. Such frequently used data that you might store in the array is likely to be cached by Oracle in the buffer cache anyway
    2. Newer versions of Oracle now have more than one cache
    3. The SQL query needed to get the data from the table will use a bind variable that eliminates repeated hard parsing.
    4. The cursor and the buffer caches ARE SHARED by multiple sessions globally.
    So the short story is that there would rarely be a use case where ARRAYs like that would be preferred over accessing the data from the table.

  • Function that returns currently selected cell address or column

    Is there a function that returns the address (or just the column) of the currently selected cell? Simply put, something like =selectedcolumn.
    Background: I want to display help text in a cell, and I want that help text to change according to which cell (actually, which column) the user has selected. I have put the help texts in a hidden row. They take up too much space to be displayed all the time. I want one cell to contain the help text of the column of the currently selected cell.
    Trying to not use Filemaker for this project if possible
    Thanks for any help /Matt

    The Numbers method, using comments as Barry showed, is probably the best method.  An alternate method which is more complex would be to use an Applescript running in the background.  The Applescript can scan in the background for which cell/column is currently selected and write that cell/column address into a cell in your table. A formula in your table (most likely a lookup formula) can use that address to serve up the correct help text in a diffrerent cell in the table or in another table.
    Some problems with this methodare
    The script is not part of the document. It is a separate entity.
    The script must be started manually. It will not automatically start when the Numbers document is opened.
    If the Numbers document is to be used on other Macs, each would also need the script installed.

  • Function that returns N values, without using a string

    Hi, how can i make a function that returns several valures (that hasn't a exact number of returned values, it could return 3 values, or 7) without using a string?
    When i need to return several values from a function, i put the values inside a varchar like thus 'XXX,YYY,ZZZ' and so on. Don't know if this has a poor performance.
    If you can supply simple examples for what im asking, i would be nice.
    (without using a string)

    Can i create the type objects inside a package? If i
    can, they will be local to the package, right?Yes, you're right.

    Hi all,
    Thank you all for your kind responses.
    The scenario I have is I need to insert the value of a particular field into a database table. E.g. MessageId, to keep track of the messages going through XI.
    Naturally, such operations return void. These operations are already encapsulated in a custom jar file.
    My purpose of using a UDF is solely to invoke the operation.
    But I realized I each UDF has to have a return type, and the output of this UDF must be mapped to a node in the outgoing message.
    Currently, my UDF returns an empty string, by using the implementation as below, I manage to perform my desired operation without affecting the result:
    MessageId -- UDF -- CONCAT -
    InstitutionCD_Transformed
    InstitutionCode_____
    But as you can see, this is not an elegant way of doing things.
    That's why I'm seeking alternative solutions for this problem.
    Bhavesh, you mentioned something about doing the operation in the initialization/cleanup section.
    Can you please explain more?
    Thanks.

  • Problem with a simple function that return a number

    Hi,
    I'm writing a function that return a number. I receive always an error (invalid number) but I don't understand why.
    The function is this:

    object_inserted := 1;
    else
    object_inserted := 100;
    END IF;
    RETURN object_inserted;

    I have left only an if and an assignment because I do not find the error.
    When I execute the function I receive always this error:

    Could someone help me?
    Thanks bye bye.

    I changed in this way:

    IS
    object_present NUMBER;
    object_inserted NUMBER;
    table_name_p VARCHAR2(4000);

    RETURN object_inserted;
    END COUNT_OBJECT;and now the error is:

    rec mytable%rowtype;
    begin
    rec.rowid := 1;
    return rec;
    end;
    eventually i'll want to call this from java. but for now i'd settle for calling it from the XE web front end (and sqlplus).
    SQLPLUS: i try to call it from sqlplus by first declaring a variable where i can store the return:
    var a mytable%rowtype;
    it instantly stops me saying that i can only declare a var of a particular type. so what do i do?
    XE interface: i tried various ways to call getc(), but they were all unsuccessful. what should i be doing?
    thanks so much for your time.

    Given a function like this:
    CREATE OR REPLACE FUNCTION get_employee
         ( p_empno emp.empno%TYPE )
         RETURN emp%ROWTYPE
    AS
         v_result emp%ROWTYPE;
    BEGIN
         SELECT * INTO v_result
         FROM   emp
         WHERE  empno = p_empno;
         RETURN v_result;
    END get_employee;You can call it within PL/SQL like this:
    DECLARE
         rec emp%ROWTYPE;
    BEGIN
         rec := get_employee(7902);
         DBMS_OUTPUT.PUT_LINE(rec.ename);
    END;However,
    1. Unless there is a column named "ROWID" in the table (unlikely since it would conflict with the actual rowid and is therefore not allowed), the type will not have an attribute named "rowid".
    2. "1" would not be a valid rowid anyway.
    3. %ROWTYPE defines a PL/SQL type, which will not be recognised in other environments such as SQL and Java.

  • Deploy resulset of PL\SQL function, that returns ANYTABLE%TYPE

    How can deploy resulset of PL\SQL function, that returns ANYTABLE%TYPE in SQL?

    <BLOCKQUOTE><font size="1" face="Verdana, Arial">quote:</font><HR>Originally posted by angelrip:
    Hello everyone,
    I've come through the following problem:
    1.- I created an PL/SQL stored procedure which returns a REF CURSOR element, definition looks like this:
    PACKAGE PKG_LISTADOS AS
    TYPE tuplas IS REF CURSOR;
    /* Procedimientos exportados por el paquete */
    PROCEDURE inicializarModuloListados;
    FUNCTION recaudacionUltimoMes(medioPago DEF_MEDIO_PAGO.MEDIO_PAGO%TYPE)
    RETURN tuplas;
    2.- Now I would like to call the stored procedure and retrieve the PL/SQL cursor as a ResultSet Java Object. The code I wrote is this:
    Connection conn;
    XmlDocument paramDef;
    conn=poolMgr.getConnection str_poolDBConnection);
    try
    CallableStatement cstmt=conn.prepareCall("{?=call PKG_LISTADOS.recaudacionUltimoMes(?)}");
    cstmt.registerOutParameter(1, java.sql.Types.OTHER);
    cstmt.setString(2, "MONEDA");
    cstmt.executeQuery();
    ResultSet rs=(ResultSet)cstmt.getObject(1);
    catch(SQLException sqlE)
    3.- However, I can't make it OK, all the time I get the following error:
    SQL Error(17004), java.sql.SQLException: Non valid column type
    May anyone help me with this, thanks in advance:
    Miguel-Angel<HR></BLOCKQUOTE>
    Do something like the following:
    cstmt = conn.prepareCall("{call customer_proc(?, ?)}");
    //Set the first parameter
    cstmt.setInt(1, 40);
    //Register to get the Cursor parameter back from the procedure
    cstmt.registerOutParameter(2, OracleTypes.CURSOR);
    cstmt.execute();
    ResultSet cursor = ((OracleCallableStatement)cstmt).getCursor(2);
    while(cursor.next())
    System.out.println("CUSTOMER NAME: " + cursor.getString(1));
    System.out.println("CUSTOMER AGE: " + cursor.getInt(2));
    cursor.close();

  • Is there any function that returns the latest DDL statement

    can anyone tell me if there is any FUNCTION that returns latest DDL statement performed in a schema.
    OR
    if there is any TABLE that will be populated with latest
    DDL statement in schema.
    THANK YOU.

    The table all_objects (and/or dba_objects) contains a column called last_ddl_time. Thus, a query like
    scott@jcave > SELECT max(last_ddl_time)
      2  FROM all_objects
      3 WHERE owner = 'SCOTT';
    MAX(LAST_DDL_TI
    28-NOV-03will tell you the last time any object owned by SCOTT had DDL issued against it.

  • Function that returns the date/time ?

    We would like to make a validation in the Activity status based on the activity End Time.
    Pls... is there a function that returns something that I could compare with: "8/6/2009 01:00 PM" ?
    I know of Today but I understand that today() returns just the day (no time).
    Txs.
    Antonio

    Hi Antonio,
    You can try using the function -: Timestamp()
    To quote the CRM On Demand help files...
    "+The Timestamp function in Expression Builder returns the server date and time converted to the current user's time zone setting. For example, if the current user's time zone setting is set to Eastern Daylight Time (EDT) -0400 UTC, the Timestamp function converts the server time to EDT. The TimeStamp function performs UTC (universal time code) conversion. NOTE: Arithmetic operations (for example, add or subtract) are not supported with the Timestamp() function.+"
    Hope this helps.
    Regards,
    Cameron

  • Memory leak in JCO when calling an ABAP-function that returns larg tables

    Hello everybody,
    I think discovered a memory leak in JCO when the calling functionions that have exporting tables with large datasets. For example the ABAP-function RFC_READ_TABLE, which in this example I use to retrieve data from a table called "RSZELTTXT", which contains ~ 120000 datasets. RFC_READ_TABLE exports the data as table "DATA".
    Here a simple JUnit test:
    http://pastebin.ca/1420451
    When running it with Sun Java 1.6 with standard heap size of 64mb I get a heapsize OutOfMemory error:
    http://pastebin.ca/1420472
    Looking at the heap dump (which I unfortunately cannot post here, because of it' size), I can see that I've 65000 char[512] array objects in my heap, which don't get cleaned up. I think, each char[512] array stands for one dataset in the exporting table "DATA", since the table contains 120000 datasets, the heap is full after the first 65000 datasets are parsed. Apparently, JCO tries to read all datasets in memory instead of justing reading the dataset to which the pointer (JCoTable.setRow(i)) currently points to and releasing it from memory after the pointer moves forward ...
    Did anybody else experience this?
    Is SAP going to remove to issue in upcoming versions of JCO?
