Need Help with simple date conversion

Hi all,
I have been creating integrations from custom Oracle tables to my Hyperion Planning application. I have most of them working, but am having issues loading dates to the application.
The dates in the source are formatted as M/DD/YY.
Hyperion can only recieve the dates if they are in MM-DD-YYY format. (atleast that is the error I receive when I load the interface)
Could someone please help me build an ODI expression that will convert/format the date? My SQL is pretty weak.
Thanks,
Nick

Thanks for the reply. I guess one of my issues is I am trying to do this conversion in my Sunopsis Memory Staging Area. So I guess I should be using SQL to convert the date, but I am still having issues.
Here is the error from my log file when I attempt a straight mapping of the date...
B9708547A,Plan1,2001-08-27,OrganizationNone,Project Type None,BegBalance,FY11,RateNone,Working,Final,Cannot load dimension member, error message is: com.hyperion.planning.HspRuntimeException: Date is incorrectly formatted, expecting "MM-DD-YYYY" format.
Here is the SQL statement from the operator when I attempt (poor attempt) at converting the date....
sql= """select C2_MT_PROJECTID "Project",'Plan1' "Data Load Cube Name",CONVERT(C1_MT_PROJ_START_DT,Date('MM-DD-YYYY')) "StartDate",'OrganizationNone' + ',' + 'Project Type None' + ',' + 'BegBalance' + ',' + 'FY11' + ',' + 'RateNone' + ',' + 'Working' + ',' + 'Final' "Point-of-View" from "C$_0Project" where      (1=1) """
Here is the error from the operator get...

Need Help With Simple ABAP Code

Hello,
I'm loading data from a DSO (ZDTBMAJ) to an Infocube (ZCBRAD06). I need help with ABAP code to some of the logic in Start Routine. DSO has 2 fields: ZOCTDLINX & ZOCBRDMAJ.
1. Need to populate ZOCPRODCD & ZOCREFNUM fields in Infocube:
    Logic:-
    Lookup /BI0/PMATERIAL, if /BIC/ZOCBRDMAJ = /BIC/OIZOCBRDMAJ
    then /BIC/ZOCPRODCD = ZOCPRODCD in Infocube
           /BIC/ZOCREFNUM = ZOCREFNUM in Infocube

Need help with simple XML validation

I am new to Spry and need some help creating a simple
validation. There is a form field which must not contain a value
already in the database. I have a script which accepts a parameter
and returns a boolean result. Here is the XML:
<samples>
<sample>
<ISFOUND>0</ISFOUND>
</sample>
</samples>
1. How do I call this script when the form field changes and
pass the form value as the parameter?
2. How do I check the returned value in the XML and throw an
error if true?
I appreciate any help with this. Please let me know if there
is a better way to achieve the same result.
Thanks,
Rich

I enabled the call to the XML response. However, I am having
trouble identifying when the call is complete so I can parse the
result. How do I run my check after the data load and display the
proper message?

Beginner needs help with simple code.

I just statrted learnind java, and I need some help with this simple program. For some reason everytime I enter my Farenheit value, the Celsius conversion returns as 0.0. Would really appreciate the help. Thanks.
Here's the code:
public class TempConverter
public static void main(String[] args)
double F = Double.parseDouble(args[0]);
System.out.println("Temperature in Farenheit is: " + F);
double C = 5 / 9;
C *= (F - 32);
System.out.println("Temperature in Celsius is: " + C);
}

double C = 5 / 9This considers "5" and "9" to be integers and does an integer division, discarding the remainder. The result of that division is 0. Trydouble C = 5.0/9.0;

I need help with simple problems. im a student.

i'd like to be advanced with my studies so i will post questions.. i need help on how to answer. thank you.
1. create a java program that will evaluate if the value entered is a positive, negative, vowel, consonant and special characters.
im actually done with the positive and negative using if else statements.. i used an integer data type. now my question is how do conjoin the characters when i need to evaluate a vowel and a consonant. i cant use char either. please help. i dont know what to do yet.
2. create java program that will translate the input from numbers to words. e.g. input:123 output: one hundred twenty-three.
i have an idea to use a switch case statement. but i have no idea on how will i be able to do it. so if you guys can help me.. well then thankies..

Welcome to the Sun forums. First, please note that you have posted in the wrong forum. This forum is for topics related to Sun's JavaHelp product. You should post your questions in the New to Java forum.

Need Help with simple array program!

Hi, I have just recently started how to use arrays[] in Java and I'm a bit confused and need help designing a program.
What this program does, it reads in a range of letters specified by the user. The user then enters the letters (a, b or c) and stores these characters into an array, which the array's length is equal to the input range the user would enter at the start of the program. The program is then meant to find how many times (a,b and c) appears in the array and the Index it first appears at, then prints these results.
Here is my Code for the program, hopefully this would make sense of what my program is suppose to do.

When reading in the letters to store into the array, I get the last letter I entered placed into the entire array. Also I believe my code to find the Index is incorrect.
Example Testing: How many letters would you like to read? 3
Enter letter (a, b or c) (# to quit): a
Enter letter (a, b or c) (# to quit): b
Enter letter (a, b or c) (# to quit): c
It prints "There are no a's'" (there should be 1 a at index 0)
"There are no b's" (there should be 1 b at index 1)
and "There are 3 c's, first appearing at index 0" ( there should be 1 c at index 2)
The last thing is that my code for when the user enters "#" that the input of letters would stop and the program would then continue over to the counting and searching part for the letters, my I believe is correct but I get the same problem as stated above where the program takes the character "#" and stores it into the entire array.
Example Testing:How many letters would you like to read? 3
Enter letter (a, b or c) (# to quit): a
Enter letter (a, b or c) (# to quit): #
It prints "There are no a's'" (should have been 1 a at index 0)
"There are no b's"
and "There are no c's"
Can someone please help me??? or does anyone have a program simular to this they have done and would'nt mind showing me how it works?
Thanks

Without thinking too much...something like this
for(int start = 0; start < size; start++) {
            System.out.println("Please enter a letter (a, b or c) ("+size+" max), enter # to stop:");
            input = Keybd.in.readChar();
            while((input != 'a') && (input != 'b') && (input != 'c') && (input != '#')) {
                Screen.out.println("Invalid Input");
                System.out.println("Please enter a letter (a, b or c) ("+size+" max, enter # to stop:");
                input = Keybd.in.readChar();
            if(input == '#') {
                    break;
            letter[start] = input;
        }you dont even need to do start = size; coz with the break you go out of the for loop.

Need help with Rollback data if there is error in Data load

Hi All,
We are trying to load data to Oracle 11g database. We want a trigger, procedure or something like that to rollback the data if there are errors in load. Is it possible to do rollback after all the records has been parsed ? So if we try to load 100 records and if there are 30 records with error, we want to rollback after all the 100 records are parsed.
Please advice.

>
Thanks for the suggestion. I'll try that option. So currently we are only loading data that is validated and erroneous records are rejected using trigger. So we don't get any invalid data in table. But Now users are saying that all the records should be rejected if there is even one error in the data load.
>
I generally use a much simpler solution for such multi-stage ETL processes.
Each table has a IS_VALID column that defaults to 'N'. Each step of the process only pulls data with the flag set to 'Y'.
That allows me to leave data in the table but guarantee that it won't be processed by subsequent stages. Since most queries that move data from one stage to another ultimately have to read table rows (i.e. they can't just use indexes) it is not a performance issue to add a predicate such as "'AND IS_VALID = 'Y'" to the query that accesses data.
1. add new unvalidated data - automatically flagged an invalid by default of 'N" on IS_VALID column
2. run audit step #1 - capture the primary key/rowid of any row failing the audit.
3. run audit steps #2 through #n - capture error row ids
4. Final step - update the data setting IS_VALID to 'Y' only if a row passes ALL audits: that is, only if there are NO fatal errors for that row captured in the error table.
That process also allows me to capture every single problem that any row has so that I can produce reports for the business users that show everything that is wrong with the data. There are some problems that the business wan't to ignore, others that can be fixed in the staging tables then reprocessed and others that are rejected since they must be fixed in the source system and that can take several days.
For data that can be fixed in the staging tables the data is fixed and then the audit is rerun which will set the IS_VALID flag to 'Y' allowing those 'fixed' rows to be included in the data that feeds the next processing stage.

Need help regarding Simple Data Client and Simple Data Server VIs

Hi everyone.
I have a simple objective. I just want to test the 2 example VIs, "Simple Data Client" and "Simple Data Server" between 2 computers. I just want to check whether is this working between the 2 computers.
What I have done for now is that I changed the "address", from "localhost" in the "Simple Data Client.vi" to the IP address of the computer running the "Simple Data Server". I runned the "Simple Data Server" VI in one of the computers first followed by the "Simple Data Client" in the other computer. Nothing is received and the client just timed out.
Can anyone please help me troubleshoot and tell me what are the possible problems for this? Are there any wires connections between 2 computers that I am missing or any other configurations I have to make before I can successfully do this?
Thanks.
Regards,
Jonathan

Hi Lee.P.
I understand that. I was just feeling frustrated about the project not working. Sincere apologies from me.
I was wrong about the error number. It is not Error 60. It is Error 59 - The network is down, unreachable, or has been reset.. Yes, I have tried changing the port numbers at the 2 computers when trying to send/receive.
Could anything else be the problem?

Need help with enhanced data source in Production system

Hello Gurus,
1. I enhanced a datasource in BW and populated the field using customer exit using CMOD function. In Dev system, i dont have much data, so I deleted the whole data and did full load.
what shud I do in Production side, so that Delta wudnt be affected??since in production, we have millions of records, we wont do full load., what is the best way to populate the field in production after transporting the datasource to production without disturbing delta's, to reflect the new field for previous years data???
2. can we put 0customer and 0material in the same dimension?? how its going to affect the performance?
Thanks in advance.,
Best Regards,
Pavan

Hi,
Please see this
1.
see this thread
populated the new field with historic data
2. can we put 0customer and 0material in the same dimension?? how its going to affect the performance?
Its better not to use them in a single dimension because one customer and take more than one material so if you have 100 customer and 1000 materials this combination will generate a large number of records. Its always better to keep characteristic which are having 1:N relation ship in one dimensional in you case customer and material will have an M:N type of relationship.which will result in slow performance.

Need help with simple file sharing application

I have an assignment to build a Java File Sharing application. Since I'm relatively new to programming, this is not gonna be an easy task for me.
Therefore I was wondering if there are people willing to help me in the next few days. I will ask questions in this thread, there will be loads of them.
I already have something done but I'm not nearly halfway finished.
Is there a code example of a simple file sharing application somewhere? I didn't manage to find it.
More-less, this is what it needs to contain:
-client/server communication (almost over)
-file sending (upload, download)
-file search function (almost over)
-GUI of an application.
GUI is something I will do at the end, hopefully.
I hope someone will help me. Cheers
One more thing, I'm not asking for anyone to do my homework. I will only be needing some help in the various steps of building an application.
As I said code examples are most welcome.
This is what I have done so far
Server:
package ToJeTo;
import java.io.*;
import java.net.*;
public class MultiServer {
    public static ServerSocket serverskiSoket;
    public static int PORT = 1233;
    public static void main(String[] args) throws IOException {
        try {
            serverskiSoket = new ServerSocket(PORT);
        }catch (IOException e) {
            System.out.println("Connection impossible");
            System.exit(1);
        do {
            Socket client = serverskiSoket.accept();
            System.out.println("accepted");
            ClientHandler handler = new ClientHandler(client);
            handler.start();
        } while(true);
}Client:
package ToJeTo;
import java.io.IOException;
import java.io.PrintWriter;
import java.net.*;
import java.util.Scanner;
public class MultiClient {
    public static InetAddress host;
    public static int PORT = 1233;
    public static void main(String[] args) {
        try {
            host = InetAddress.getLocalHost();
        }catch (UnknownHostException uhe) {
            System.out.println("Error!");
            System.exit(1);
        sendMessages();
    private static void sendMessages() {
        Socket soket = null;
        try {
            soket = new Socket(host, PORT);
            Scanner networkInput = new Scanner(soket.getInputStream());
            PrintWriter networkOutput = new PrintWriter(soket.getOutputStream(), true);
            Scanner unos = new Scanner(System.in);
            String message, response;
            do {
                System.out.println("Enter message");
                message = unos.nextLine();
                networkOutput.println(message);
                response = networkInput.nextLine();
                System.out.println("Server: " + response);
            }while (!message.equals("QUIT"));
        } catch (IOException e) {
            e.printStackTrace();
        finally {
            try{
                System.out.println("Closing..");
                soket.close();
            } catch (IOException e) {
                System.out.println("Impossible to disconnect!");
                System.exit(1);
}ClientHandler:
package ToJeTo;
import java.io.*;
import java.net.*;
import java.util.*;
public class ClientHandler extends Thread {
    private Socket client;
    private Scanner input;
    private PrintWriter output;
    public ClientHandler(Socket serverskiSoket) {
        client = serverskiSoket;
        try {
        input = new Scanner(client.getInputStream());
        output = new PrintWriter(client.getOutputStream(), true);
        } catch (IOException e) {
            e.printStackTrace();
        public void run() {
            String received;
            do {
            received = input.nextLine();
            output.println("Reply: " + received);
            } while (!received.equals("QUIT"));
            try {
                if (client != null)
                    System.out.println("Closing the connection...");
                    client.close();
            }catch (IOException e) {
                System.out.println("Error!");
}Those three classes are simple client server multi-threaded connection.

Now the other part that contains the search function looks like this:
package ToJeTo;
import java.io.*;
import java.util.*;
public class User {
    String nickname;
    String ipAddress;
    static ArrayList<String> listOfFiles = new ArrayList<String>();
    File sharedFolder;
    String fileLocation;
    public User(String nickname, String ipAddress, String fileLocation) {
        this.nickname = nickname.toLowerCase();
        this.ipAddress = ipAddress;
        sharedFolder = new File(fileLocation);
        File[] files = sharedFolder.listFiles();
        for (int i = 0; i < files.length; i++) {
            listOfFiles.add(i, files.toString().substring(fileLocation.length()+1));
public static void showTheList() {
for (int i = 0; i < listOfFiles.size(); i++) {
System.out.println(listOfFiles.get(i).toString());
@Override
public String toString() {
return nickname + " " + ipAddress;
User Manager:
package ToJeTo;
import java.io.*;
import java.util.*;
class UserManager {
    static ArrayList<User> allTheUsers = new ArrayList<User>();;
    public static void addUser(User newUser) {
        allTheUsers.add(newUser);
    public static void showAndStoreTheListOfUsers() throws FileNotFoundException, IOException {
        BufferedWriter out = new BufferedWriter(new FileWriter("List Of Users.txt"));
        for (int i = 0; i < allTheUsers.size(); i++) {
                System.out.println(allTheUsers.get(i));
                out.write(allTheUsers.get(i).toString());
                out.newLine();
        out.close();
}Request For File
package ToJeTo;
import java.util.*;
public class RequestForFile {
    static ArrayList<String> listOfUsersWithFile = new ArrayList<String>();
    Scanner input;
    String fileName;
    public RequestForFile() {
        System.out.println("Type the wanted filename here: ");
        input = new Scanner(System.in);
        fileName = input.nextLine();
        for (User u : UserManager.allTheUsers) {
            for (String str : User.listOfFiles) {
                if (str.equalsIgnoreCase(fileName))
                    listOfUsersWithFile.add(u.nickname);
    public RequestForFile(String fileName) {
        for (User u : UserManager.allTheUsers) {
            for (String str : User.listOfFiles) {
                if (str.equalsIgnoreCase(fileName))
                    listOfUsersWithFile.add(u.nickname);
    public static List<String> getAll() {
        for (int i = 0; i < listOfUsersWithFile.size(); i++) {
            //System.out.println("User that has the file: " + listOfUsersWithFile.get(i));
        return listOfUsersWithFile;
}Now this is the general idea.
The user logs in with his nickname and ip address. He defines his own shared folder and makes it available for other users that log on to server.
Now each user has their own list of files from a shared folder. It's an ArrayList.
User manager class is there to store another list, a list of users that are connected with server.
When the user is searching for a particular file, he is searching through all the users and their respective files lists. Therefore for each loop inside a for each loop.
Now the problem is how to connect all that with Client and Server class and put it into one piece.
GUI should look somewhat like this:
