Need help on: Automation of Daily Data Load

Hi all,
We need to start our Daily Data load from DAC by Manually. So right now my client has asked us to do Automation of Daily Data Load.
Starting the Daily Data Load Manually(DAC) Process: First we have to check whether the ASCP Plans updated or not
Right now we are checking whether the plans got updated or not, so for this we are using following query
SELECT LTrim(RTrim (compile_designator)),data_completion_date,TO_CHAR(data_completion_date ,'DD-MON-YYYY HH24:MI:SS') FROM apps.msc_plans
WHERE LTrim(RTrim (compile_designator))
in( 'Plan01,'Plan02','Plan03','Paln04') ORDER BY 2 desc
from this query we will able to see whether all the plans got updated or not. From all the Four Plans, two plans will get updated as of Sysdate(mm/dd/yyy) ,Timestamp(hh:mm:ss)(for example i.e. Plan01 08/25/2011 11:20:08 PM, Plan02 08/25/2011 11:45:06 PM) and rest two plans get updated on Sysdate+1(mm/dd/yyy), Timestamp(hh:mm:ss)(for example i.e. Plan03 08/26/2011 12:20:05 AM, Plan04 08/26/2011 12:45:08 AM)
So after checking the plans , we start the Daily Load in DAC manually.
May I know how should I convert my above sql query which I am using for checking the plans updated or not in informatica, so as to automate the Daily Load in informatica level..
Need help.

You cannot replicate what is done with DAC at Informatica level. DAC is a separate Oracle product that orchestrates and manages the ETL load (including Index management, etc). The reason Oracle developed DAC is because it allows you to manage a large scale DW load for a large ERP system. As suggested, you can invoke the DAC execution plan via a command but you cannot replicate everything the DAC does at Informatica level. If this helps, please mark as helpful.

Need help! Can't validate date overlaps for a tabular column

Hello all,
The validation I created to validate whether new or updates rows does not overlap with any records in the table isn't working.
The columns are StartDt and EndDt
Validation Type: NOT EXISTS
Validation expresion:
select 1
 from sample S
 WHERE S.STARTDT BETWEEN :STARTDT AND :ENDDT
OR(S.ENDDT BETWEEN :STARTDT AND :ENDDT)
or (S.STARTDT <= :STARTDT and S.ENDDT >= :ENDDT)
or (:STARTDT <= S.STARTDT and :ENDDT >= S.ENDDT)
Error Message:
Times overlap
When Buttons pressed
-Select Button-
The validation works if a new row or updated row overlaps any existing start and end date records but it doesn't work if I update startdate and end date rows that doesn't overlap existing date times
Example:
TABLE DISPLAYS THE FOLLOWING RECORDS
NAME START DATE END DATE
TEST 1/1/2012 12/31/2012
If I update the rows to the following values, I receive an error message (although those values don't overlap any records in the table)
NAME START DATE END DATE
TEST 6/1/2012 10/30/2012
Any ideas? Do I need to change my code?

Logic for date range overlap testing only requires two conditions in the WHERE clause:
ORACLE-BASE - Overlapping Date Ranges
WHERE S.STARTDT <= :ENDDT AND S.ENDDT >= :STARTDT -- TRUE for ranges that overlap
It looks a little odd, but, if you scribble out a 'logic table', it makes sense.
Condition
A.start <= B.end
A.end >= B.start
A__A B--B
true
false
A__B=A--B
true
true
A__B==B__A
true

Hi, write a start routine in transfer rules like this.
DATA: l_s_datapak_line type TRANSFER_STRUCTURE,
 l_s_errorlog TYPE rssm_s_errorlog_int,
 l_s_glaccount type /BI0/PGLACCOUNT,
 new_datapak type tab_transtru.
 refresh new_datapak.
 loop at datapak into l_s_datapak_line.
 select single * from /BI0/PGLACCOUNT into l_s_glaccount
 where CHRT_ACCTS eq l_s_datapak_line-field name in transfer structure/datsource for CHRT_ACCTS
and GL_ACCOUNT eq l_s_datapak_line-field name in transfer structure/datsource for GL_ACCOUNT
and OBJVERS eq 'A'.
 if sy-subrc eq 0.
 append l_s_datapak_line to new_datapak.
 endif.
 endloop.
 datapak = new_datapak.
 if datapak[] is initial.
abort <> 0 means skip whole data package !!!
 ABORT = 4.
 else.
 ABORT = 0.

Need help in laoding flat file data, which has \r at the end of a string

Hi There,
Need help in loading flat file data, which has \r at the end of a string.
I have a flat file with three columns. In the data, at the end of second column it has \r. So because of this the control is going to the beginning of next line. And the rest of the line is loading into the next line.
Can someone pls help me to remove escape character \r from the data?
thanks,

Have you looked into the sed linux command? here are some details:
When working with txt files or with the shell in general it is sometimes necessary to replace certain chars in existing files. In that cases sed can come in handy:
1 sed -i 's/foo/bar/g' FILENAME
The -i option makes sure that the changes are saved in the new file – in case you are not sure that sed will work as you expect it you should use it without the option but provide an output filename. The s is for search, the foo is the pattern you are searching the file for, bar is the replacement string and the g flag makes sure that all hits on each line are replaced, not just the first one.
If you have to replace special characters like a dot or a comma, they have to be entered with a backslash to make clear that you mean the chars, not some control command:
1 sed -i 's/./,/g' *txt
Sed should be available on every standard installation of any distribution. At lesat on Fedora it is even required by core system parts like udev.
If this helps, mark as correct or helpful.

Gurus...Need help....extract data from BKPF header table and BSEG line item

Gurus,
I have to write the logic to fetch data from bkpf and bseg. Need help on how can i do that..
I have to get bukrs belnr gjahr ldgrp from BKPF for a given date and company code. For all these documents, then i have to get the line items from BSEG if the ldgrp is I1 or SPACE.
If the ldgrp is not I1 or SPACE then i have to fetch the records from BSEG_ADD and then generate a ALV report with all the data including the data that was fetched from BKPF.
So, it wil be a combined ALV report that displays header as well as LINE item data together...
Can u please help me with the code...I am not sure how can everything go all together in one internal table....Becoz once its there in one table then only a ALV list can be generated.......
Cheers:
Sam

hi Sam, this may be of some similar thing.
Use this program, I got this prog from a source and we added a small conditional check in the program which checks document numbers in BSEG and also comapres in BKPF and sees if the output from BSEG falls under the posting data range specified in the initial selection.
Now just so you know, this output is kinda messed up, so you will have to play with it in Excel to extract the document numbers, if that is what you want.

Need help with code for adding dates to form

Hello forum goers
I'm new to making forms and figured out how to auto add the date, however I need the form to change the date for every copy made.
For example today is 06/08/2012 if I print 10 copies of the form it will output 10 pages ranging from 06/08/2012 to 06/17/2012. If code exists to do this I would be very gratefull to whoever helps, I also wouldn't mind if that is not possible for manually inputing the start / end dates.
Currently I print 15-30 copies of the form and hand write each of the dates but I'm just getting to busy to do that. I also cannot print one a day it must be in batches.
Thanks in advanced.

What you are asking for is more complex than just setting the current date. Each time the form prints it has to know that it has to change the date. I would suggest doing this.
First, setup a document level script to set the date to the current date. I suspect that you have already done this?
Next, Create a "DidPrint" document action to increment the date. To do this the script will need to scan the current text value of the date, add one day to it, and then reformat it. You'll find information on this type of scripting in these articles:
http://acrobatusers.com/tutorials/working-with-date-and-time-in-acrobat-javascr
ipt
http://acrobatusers.com/tutorials/working-with-date-and-time-in-acrobat-javascr
ipt-part-2
http://acrobatusers.com/tutorials/working-with-date-and-time-in-acrobat-javascr
ipt-part-3
Since the increment happenes in the Did Print you will need to print each copy individually. If you enter 10 copies in the print dialog it won't work. You have to print one at a time. You can automate this activity with a console script.
One of the advantages of incrementing in the DidPrint is that you can also manually enter a date and it will increment from there.

[Urgent] Need help calculating difference between two dates

I'm trying to write a code to display the current day and time, then accept two dates from the user and display the difference between the two dates. To display the current date and time, I've used the SimpleDateFormatter library but I'm having difficulty calculating the difference between two dates. Could someone please help me with this?
Below is my code so far
import java.util.Date;
import java.util.Scanner;
import java.text.SimpleDateFormat;
public class DateFormatter {
     public void displayNow()
          Date todaysDate = new Date();
          SimpleDateFormat formatter = new SimpleDateFormat("yyyy-MMM-dd HH:mm:ss");
          String formattedDate = formatter.format(todaysDate);
          System.out.println("Today's date and time is: "+formattedDate);
     public void calculateDifference(Date startDate, Date endDate)
          /* This is whre i need help! */
     public static void main(String[] args)
          DateFormatter df = new DateFormatter();
          Scanner sc = new Scanner(System.in);
          df.displayNow();
          System.out.println("Please enter a date: ");
          String date1 = sc.next();
          System.out.println("Please enter another date: ");
          String date2 = sc.next();
}The methods displayNow() and calculateDifference(Date startDate, Date endDate) are essential and cannot be skipped out.

Of course, it takes some time to learn what the intelligent questions are. You have my sympathy. Try asking questions about how to do a particular task, instead of asking people to tell you what to do. It starts to get easier after a while.
actually dude i started on this on monday.. but there were so many other stuff to do along with this.. and i did try referring up the Calendar utility but it was a bit confusing actually.. it was only after that did i come to this forum.. nor am i very good at Java.. anyhoo thanks for your sympathies :P

Need help masking or hiding sensitive data in LDAP entries.

I am currently working on a schema for holding user account information
in LDAP. We are storing user SSN information as part of the custom
schema that we have created and need help hiding that data from people
who may be browsing the directory, either using the console or other
means. The end result we are trying to achieve is the same as the way
that the userPassword attribute is stored in the directory. When viewed
it appears as all asterisks but it can still be passed and read normally
elsewhere. If anyone has any information on how to do this it would be
greatly appreciated.
Thanks

Read the section in the manual on access control. Personally, if you have an
SQL database that contains information about individuals as well, you might
want to consider putting the SSNs in there and not in the directory for
security reasons. i.e. I just read a CERT advisory about buffer overflows in
the Beta version of iPlanet 5.0 (supposed to be fixed in the release
version) which basically means full system compromise. Personally, I would
not recommend putting SSNs in the directory at all if the directory is
accessible over the Internet. There's always security holes here and there
and I doubt that you want to leak this kind of information onto the
Internet.

Need help in automating batch placing of images on spreads

My workflow is :
I have jpeg files (mostly 100+).
They are the size of 2 pages (e.g. 1 spread per jpeg file)
I need to place them on either even or odd page (aligned Top-Left).
Currently I’m doing this work manually.
Need help to automate this.
Thanks and regards.

As I mentioned earlier I have very little experience with JavaScript.
I also copied the ImageCatalog script to a new file and read it atleast five times, and tried to wrap my head around the flow of execution.

Need help finding the row where BI load failed

Hi all,
We use an ETL tool to load data from our staging database into our production data warehouse environment. The environment is Oracle 10g Release 1 on Red Hat Enterprise Linux Server. The ETL tool is Business Objects Data Integrator. At hand the issue is that the data load failed due to an Oracle error
ORA-12899: value too large for column
When I examined the table definition in question, the load fails on one of the table columns in staging since the column is a VARCHAR2 with length of 5 and the ETL load wants to load a value for the table of length 13.
One possible solution is to change the column definition to accomodate the data load. However, since this is a production system, I cannot do this right now.
Is there a method to find exactly what row it failed on during the ETL load for the table in question?
Thanks!
B. Scott

1) Yes, DML error logging is nice feature but it is New Feature in Oracle Database 10g Release 2.
2) Some tools (e.g. Oracle Warehouse Builder) enable you to run your "mappping" (ETL job) in 2 modes - set based (single transaction INS/UPD/DEL/MERGE) or in row based mode (PL/SQL loop, row by row processing). OWB even enables failover mode (I failed in set-based mode, let's failover to row-based mode to find out where is the problem; the errors will be reported in log; you can set maximum number of errors before the mapping terminates with failure status).
3) If you do not have this functionality in your tool than I suggest: Try to understand the transformation and investigate the source data. You can usually find the culprit in the source data. Sometimes you can even extract the SQL behind the transformation and run CTAS (create table as select) and find the exceptions.

Pavel

Need help in correcting the BW Delta loads

Hi All,
I have deleted entire data of the data targets and the init request of that data target,
but I need to correct that now, please guide me with ur suggestions:
I have tried with the following options, but it is not bringing the old data from the r3 system.
1) I ran the init without data transfer and then the delta, but it didn't bring any records.
2)I ran the init without data trnafer and then did the fullload, but I am unable to activate the full load request as it gave the error message indicating there is init, so full request can't be activated.\
I am using 3.5 system.
Please give ur suggestion.
Thanks,
Vinay

Hi,
Since you are using an AP (A/c Payable) extractor, it is FI related & do as one of the fellow users has suggested.
Kindly go through the Notes mentioned above.
You need to fill the setup tables only if its Logistics data (LO).
Also, try doing a fresh INIT with Data Trasnfer. And, then setup your Delta InfoPackage in the Process Chain.
Hope this helps.

Vishal

Need help with RANK() on NULL data

Hi All
I am using Oracle 10g and running a query with RANK(), but it is not returning a desired output. Pleas HELP!!
I have a STATUS table that shows the history of order status.. I have a requirement to display the order and the last status date (max). If there is any NULL date for an order then show NULL.
STATUS
ORD_NO | STAT | DT
1 | Open |
1 | Pending |
2 | Open |
2 | Pending |
3 | Open |1/1/2009
3 | Pending |1/6/2009
3 | Close |
4 | Open |3/2/2009
4 | Close |3/4/2009
Result should be (max date for each ORD_NO otherwise NULL):
ORD_NO |DT
1 |
2 |
3 |
4 |3/4/2009
CREATE TABLE Status (ORD_NO NUMBER, STAT VARCHAR2(10), DT DATE);
INSERT INTO Status VALUES(1, 'Open', NULL);
INSERT INTO Status VALUES(1, 'Pending', NULL);
INSERT INTO Status VALUES(2, 'Open', NULL);
INSERT INTO Status VALUES(2, 'Pending',NULL);
INSERT INTO Status VALUES(3, 'Open', '1 JAN 2009');
INSERT INTO Status VALUES(3,'Pending', '6 JAN 2009');
INSERT INTO Status VALUES(3, 'Close', NULL);
INSERT INTO Status VALUES(4, 'Open', '2 MAR 2009');
INSERT INTO Status VALUES(4, 'Close', '4 MAR 2009');
COMMIT;
I tried using RANK function to rank all the orders by date. So used ORDER BY cluse on date in descending order thinking that the null dates would be on top and will be grouped together by each ORD_NO.
SELECT ORD_NO, DT, RANK() OVER (PARTITION BY ORD_NO ORDER BY DT DESC)
FROM Status;
...but the result was something..
ORD_NO |DT |RANKING
*1 | | 1*
*1 | | 1*
*2 | | 1*
*2 | | 1*3 | | 1
3 |1/6/2009 | 2
3 |1/1/2009 | 3
4 |3/4/2009 | 1
4 |3/2/2009 | 2
I am not sure why didn't the first two ORD_NOs didn't group together and why ranking of 1 was assigned to them. I was assuming something like:
ORD_NO |DT |RANKING

Hi,
If i well understood, you don't need rank
SELECT   ord_no, MAX (dt)KEEP (DENSE_RANK LAST ORDER BY dt) dt

Urgent!!! Need help in file read/write data to a serial port

Hi,
I really need someone's help in order for me to complete my project. I have attached a vi which I have taken from an example and integrate to my project. In the vi, I have managed to get the encoder counts using Ni 9411. I need to read/write that data from ni9411 to ni9870 without using any serial port as they are connected to a NI 9104 chasis. May I know whether I am correct in writing the data to my ni9870 port using the vi I have attached? Does anyone know how i can convert the number of counts to a 8-bit data/byte so that I can send the data through the RS232 port? I really need someone's help as I need to finished in 2 weeks time.
I have also attached an vi on controlling the epos2 controller using instrument driver. Does anyone know how can i integrate this vi to the fpga vi (the one which I need to read/write data to 9870) as I need to send those data to control my epos2 controller.
Please help me!!!

Afai,
As I allready suggested you here, call your local NI Office and ask for assistance!
You really need assistence in a higher level that we can provide via the forums. Otherwise I don't see a chance for you to finish your project in time.
1. Convert I32 to U8 to write it to the 9870 could be done like this:
2. The vi to control the epos2.
There is NO way ( absolutely NO way) to port this vi to FPGA. It's based on VISA calls, uses an event-structure, both are not available at the FPGA.
The only thing you could do is to analyze the VI, the instruction set and design an FPGA vi which handles the specific instructions you would need.
I have no experience with epos2 and I'm not 100% sure if this would work as you would like to use it. And doing this needs deep knowledge of LabVIEW, VISA, Instrument Drivers, the epos hardware, FPGA programming, and so on...

Need help to upload Excel Chinese data into Oracle

Hello
I am very new at internationalization. We are writing an application that
reads Chinese data from a Microsoft Excel file and writes it out into Oracle
8i. This is what we have done:
1. Use JDBC-ODBC driver to read the Excel data directly from .xls.
2. Write data into oracle database.
When we open Excel, we can view the Chinese characters. When we use SQL
PLus, we see only ????. When we write another servlet to retrieve the data,
it is displayed as ????. The few questions I have are:
1. How can I verify that the Chinese data has been accurately inserted into
the database?
2. Do I need to set anything special (environment variables, config files
etc) in BEA Weblogic 5.1 and Oracle 8i?
The environment we have are:
1. BEA Weblogic SP9 running on WIn NT.
2. Oracle 8i running on Solaris.
Thanks

Make sure that the characters are correct in the app server after you get
them out of Oracle and before you put them into the web page. This will help
you determine if the problem is in the JDBC access to Oracle or the encoding
into the web page. Make sure that you verify that the hex values of each
character from the db test case are what you expect.

Hi Kev
1. "It doesn't work" means that I still see ??? in the database. WHen I
retrieve the data, it is still displayed as ??? in a browser.
2. Codeset to use to display should be UTF-8.
3. Charset in database server is UTF8. I did a "select * from
database_parameters" to get this value.
4. I copied the Chinese characters from Excel and pasted on Notepad. Icould
see the Chinese characters with the Chinese emulator turned on. WHen Icopy
??? from SQL*Plus and paste it into notepad, I see ???.
Presume:
1. Yes, running SQL*PLUS on BEA machine.
2. BEA machine running on WIndows 200 professional. We downloaded aChinese
emulator. WIndows 2000 is the English version.

Hi Bernard,
Please first clarify:-
1) "It doesn't work" means... cannot display the chinese character as
you
desired?
2) Which codeset that you want it to display, Chinese traditional big5?UTF-8,
i would think it's still in Java/JDBC codeset.
3) What's the charset in the database server? Get help from DBA if you
not
sure
how to obtain this information.
4) Try paste the result(select via SQL*Plus) onto Win Notepad, what's
the
outcome?
Presume:
1) you're running SQL*Plus on your BEA machine?
2) BEA machine is running on Chinese O/S or hv NJStar installed andrunning?
Let me know if i could be of further help.

Thanks Kev.
We had changed the registry in the BEA machine to
AMERICAN_AMERICA.UTF8.
THis was done for the Oracle registry in the BEA machine.
Unfortunately,
it
still doesn't work.
Cheers,
Bernard

Hi Bernard,
I take about the same approach as you while resolving codeset
problem.
So,
first
i make sure SQL*Plus could display my desired result before proceedto
application(be
it Swing, servlet, JSP console etc..). You may try set the NLS_LANGon
your client
machine(same machine as where you run SQL*Plus) to the SAME as
database
server
character set, for instance America_American.US7ASCII. You should
able
to
see
the Chinese characters.
Hope this help with your first question. I can't help for the restanyway.
good luck!
