No joins found where required

We were using Disc 9i(db is 8i) and now it is migrated to Disc 10g(db is 9i). After migrating it gives 'No joins found where required'. Actually there is no joins with that folder.
Joins Activity in workbook/worksheet question says applying patch 4999700 is the solution whereas this patch is for 10.1.2.1.0 and my db version is 9.2.0.6.0 & Disc 10g version is 9.0.4.43.18
Can anyone help.
Prasath.

That is interesting that it works in Desktop but not Plus. Try what Jayu says as this has fixed similar problems in the past on this forum (why? ... good question ... but it does seem to be a 'feature').

EUL import error: "No joins found where required"

Has anyone received the following error while importing a Business Area: "No joins found where required"? The import process fails when the error is thrown. The error is thrown after the "Creating and assigning Item Classes...." process.
My OracleBI Discoverer Administrator version info is:
Discoverer Administrator client - 10.1.2.48.18
End User Layer - Library - 10.102.48.18
End User Layer - 5.1.1.0.0.0
The export file was created using the same Admin client.
I recently upgraded the End User Layer from 4.1.14.0.0.0 (Admin client version = 4.1.48.06.00). So, this is my first attempt to import an "eex" file created from the 10.1.2.48.18 Admin client.
The export file was created via the "Selected Business Area" option, not "The entire End User Layer" option.
Any suggestions?
Thanks!!!!!

I'm trying to import an updated version of a Business Area into an existing 5.1.1.0.0.0 End User Layer in which the Business Area that I am trying to import already exists. I am using the "Refresh the object" radio button for the "If two objects match then what action should occur?" option in the "Import Wizard" the same as I used with version 4 of Discoverer. I think this functionality should work as in did previously.
In reviewing the export log I don't see any mention of joins. The following steps are shown in the export log following the "Exported the following Data:" entry:
1) Exported the following Business Areas:
2) Exported the following Folders:
3) Exported the following Item classes:
4) Exported the following Item Hierarchies:
5) Exported the following Date Hierarchies:
6) Exported the following Functions:
7) Exported the following Summaries:
8) Exported the following Workbooks:
9) Exported the following Automated Summary Management Policies:

CAN NOT IMPORT BUSINESS AREA AS IT SAYS - JOINS NOT FOUND WHERE REQUIRED

We have recently migrated from Disco 4.1.48.08 to 10.1.2
Everything looks ok - we are able to look at existing workbooks and business areas. And we can export business areas successfully.
However
When we try to import some business areas it returns - JOINS NOT FOUND WHERE REQUIRED and fails. This is now causing a problem with how we promote from our test/uat and prod environments.
any ideas ?

Here's some information from Support that helped me...
Discoverer has many options on exporting and importing objects. Entire End User Layers, Entire Business Areas or only selected objects could be exported. To simplify the process of exporting and importing Business Areas, it is suggested that the export and import process should be done with entire Business Areas. The reason why it is not recommended that selected objects are exported and imported as a norm is to simplify maintenance.
It is still possible to export and import selected objects, but a knowledgeable Administrator is recommended to head the procedure. The process could get
very complex and difficult to manage.
Some Additional Notes:
- Join conditions are exported, but are not indicated as an object. Join conditions are only exported ** if ** the joining folders are exported.
- If the ‘refresh’ option is performed in Discoverer Administrator on an object and the underlying object on the database is not available, the object is dropped from the EUL. It is of utmost importance that the objects exist on the underlying database before the ‘refresh’ option is executed.
- Functions and Workbooks are not exported when exporting an entire Business Area. Functions and Workbooks have to be exported separately.
The first bullet is what was giving me this error "JOINS NOT FOUND WHERE REQUIRED". I was unable to do a full export - another unrelated error, so I came up with an alternate solution. I created a new BA that only contained the standard folders that my two custom BA's referenced - by JOINS and inclusion in my complex folders. I exported all 3 and they imported into the new instance with no issue.

ORA-01858: a non-numeric character was found where a numeric was expected

hi ,
This was the code which shows the sales rep invoice amount and collected amount but while running report thru concurrent program its showing the following error:
ORA-01858: a non-numeric character was found where a numeric was expected
WHERE TO_CHAR ( TO_DATE ( PS.GL_DATE , 'DD/MON/YY' ) , 'MON-YYYY' ) BETWEEN TO_CHAR ( TO_DATE ( : ==> P_todate , 'YYYY/MM/DD' ) , 'MON-YYYY' ) AND TO_CHAR ( TO_DATE ( : P_todate , 'YYYY/MM/DD' ) , 'MON-YYYY' ) AND ps.customer_id = cust.custome
The Actual Code was this

So to_date function accepts a string as input and returns a date. When a date is input instead, it is implicity converted to the required type of the function paremeter, which is a string, so that to_date can convert it back to a date again.
If you are lucky with the implicit conversion, you get the same date back, if you are not you might get a different date or an error.
From your query it appears that this conversion from a date, to a string, to a date, and then back to a string using to_char this time, is being done to remove the time or day part of the date. The actual range comparison is being done on strings rather than dates, which is dangerous as strings sort differently than dates.
In this example if I sort by date, Jan 01 comes between Dec 00 and Feb 01 as you would expect.
SQL> select * from t order by d;
D
12-01-2000
01-01-2001
02-01-2001When converted to strings, Feb 01 comes between Dec 00 and Jan 01, which is probably not the desired result
SQL> select * from t order by to_char(d,'DD-MON-YY');
D
12-01-2000
02-01-2001
01-01-2001If you want to remove time and day parts of dates you should use the trunc function
trunc(d) removes the time, trunc(d,'mm') will remove the days to start of month.

Outer Join with Where Clause in LTS

HI all,
I have a requirement like this in ANSI SQL:
select p1.product_id, p1.product_name, p2.product_group
from product p1 left outer join product_group p2 on p1.product_id = p2.product_id
and p2.product_group = 'NEW'
In Regular SQL:
select p1.product_id, p1.product_name, p2.product_group
from product p1, product_group p2
WHERE p1.product_id *= p2.product_id and p2.product_group = 'NEW'
In OBIEE, I am using a left outer join between these two in Logical table Source, and also, Gave
p2.product_group = 'NEW' in WHERE clause of LTS.
This doesn't seem to solve purpose.
Do you have any idea how to convert WHERE clause in physical query that OBIEE is generating to something like
product p1 left outer join product_group p2 on p1.product_id = p2.product_id AND p2.product_group = 'NEW'
I am using Version 10.1.3.4.1
Creating an Opaque view would be my last option though.

Hello
I have read your post and the responses as well. and I understand that you have issues with the Outer Join with where Clause in LTS.
Try this solution which worked for me (using your example ) -
1. In the Physical Layer created a Complex join between PRODUCT and PRODUCT_GROUP tables and use this join relationship :
PRODUCT.PROD_ID = PRODUCT_GROUP.PROD_ID AND PRODUCT_GROUP.GROUP_NAME = 'MECHANICAL'
2. In the General Tab of PRODUCT table LTS add PRODUCT_GROUP table and select Join Type as Left Outer Join.
3. Check Consistency and make sure there are no errors .
when you run a request you should see the following query generated -
select distinct T26908.PROD_ID as c1,
     T26908.PROD_NAME as c2,
     T26912.GROUP_NAME as c3
from
     PRODUCT T26908 left outer join PRODUCT_GROUP T26912 On T26908.PROD_ID = T26912.PROD_ID and T26912.GROUP_NAME = 'MECHANICAL'
order by c1, c2, c3
Hope this works for you. If it does please mark this response as 'Correct' .
Good Luck.

Absolute dynamic select query with dynamic join and where

Has anyone ever tried creating an absolutely dynamic SELECT query with dynamic Join and Where conditions.
I have a requirement of creating such a query in an Utility Class, and i have written the code. But its throwing my sysntax errors.
Please let me know where am I going wrong OR is it really possible to create such a dynamic Query??
    SELECT (FIELDS) INTO TABLE IT_TABLES
      FROM ( (ME->TABLE1) inner join ( me->table2 )
      on ( on_condition ) )
      WHERE (me->where_fields).
Ags.

It worked for me in a following way:
select * into corresponding fields of table <result_table>
        from (join_string)
        where (l_where).
Where the contents of join_string were dynamically build using concatenation. So it will be something like
concatenate ME->TABLE1 'as a INNER JOIN' me->table2 'as b ON (' into join_string separated by space.
<...>
add here matching/reference colums, something like
concatenate 'a~' me->TABLE1_JOIN_COL into temp1.
concatenate 'b~' me->TABLE2_JOIN_COL into temp2.
concatenate join_string temp1 '=' temp2 into join_string separated by space.
<...>
concatenate join_string ')' into join_string separated by space.
And then use similar approach for l_where variable.

Error while pulling data from an Oracle database. ORA-01858: a non-numeric character was found where a numeric was expected

I'm trying to pull data from an Oracle database using SSIS. When I try to select a few fields from the source table, it returns the following error message:
    [OLE DB Source [47]] Error: SSIS Error Code DTS_E_OLEDBERROR. An OLE DB error has occurred. Error code: 0x80040E14.
    An OLE DB record is available. Source: "OraOLEDB" Hresult: 0x80040E14 Description: "ORA-01858: a non-numeric character was found where a numeric was expected".
    An OLE DB record is available. Source: "OraOLEDB" Hresult: 0x80004005 Description: "ORA-01858: a non-numeric character was found where a numeric was expected".
The source columns are a combination of numeric and texts, and I've also tried selecting one of them, which didn't work. I'm using the Oracle client 11.2.0.1, and it works fine with any other data sources I have connected to so far. How can I resolve this
error?

Hi H.James,
According to your description, the issue is a non-numeric character was found where a numeric was expected while pulling data from an Oracle database in SSIS.
Based on the error message, the issue should be you are comparing a number column to a non-number column in a query. Such as the query below (ConfID is a number, Sdate is a date):
where C.ConfID in (select C.Sdate
                   from Conference_C C
                   where C.Sdate < '1-July-12')
Besides, a default behavior for the Oracle OleDb Provider that change the NLS Date Format of the session to 'YYYY-MM-DD HH24:MI:SS can also cause the issue. For more details about this issue, please refer to the following blog:

How can you change your line access selection? I have found where you can change your plan selection, but can you change the line access fee or is that a set amount?

How can you change your line access selection? I have found where you can change your plan selection, but can you change the line access fee or is that a set amount?

DIVAB71,
Great question. The line access fees for the account are a set amount and can not be changed unless you are going from a basic to a smartphone or vice versa. If you are wondering about adding the month to month discount if you are out of contract Ann154 has provided great information on how to access and add the feature.

What is joins?where we use it. is it DD concept? abap

hi abapers,
what is joins?where we use it. is it DD concept?
regards,
anjan

hi srinivas.
chk this simple example.
u will get good idea.
table emp
empno name
a sasi
b xxx
c yyy
table sal
empno salary
a 1000
b 2000
Inner join
select eempno ename
s~sal
into table int_table
from emp as e
inner join sal
on
eempno = sempno.
if you made inner join between table a and b by emp no
the selection retrives only if the condition satisfy the output will be
a sasi 1000
b xxx 2000
Outer join
select eempno ename
s~sal into table int_table
from emp as e
LEFT OUTER JOIN sal
on
eempno = sempno.
if you made outer join (left /right ) the left table kept as it is the
if the condition satisfy the right table entries will fetch else leave it blank
the output will be
a sasi a 1000
b xxx b 2000
c yyy

Java.rmi.UnmarshalException: skeleton class not found but required for clie

Hello everyone,
I am new to RMI and getting a strange exception. I am using Java 1.5.0_07 both on client and server. They are running on the same machine, the rmi registry is started inside the server application.
I am wondering why java complains about skeletons, I thought they are automatically created when using java 5.0?
Please have a look at the stacktrace below.
Thank you for your help.

ORA-01858: a non-numeric character found where a digit was expected

Hi,
I'll cut introductions short. We're trying to read data from a flat file (OWB ver.9.2. by the way). After successfully mapping, then generating (with two insignificant warnings), we execute.
Although it says the execution was 'successful', more than a dozen errors return in the form of ORA-01858: a non-numeric character found where a digit was expected
a - Here is the error:
Record 1: Rejected - Error on table "TOPSSTAGE"."FLTR_DCS_IRREG", column "OPERATIVE_FLIGHT_LEG_DATE".
ORA-01858: a non-numeric character was found where a numeric was expected
*it's actually repeated 20 times (Record 1, Record 2, and so on and so forth...) with the same exact error description and details.
b - Here's the part of the OWB-generated script that defines the creation of that field/column:
"OPERATIVE_FLIGHT_LEG_DATE" DATE "mm/dd/yyyy"
c - And here's the data from the flat file (1 of 4 rows)
"2/20/2007","I","0899","N","TPE","MNL","0","0","0","0","0","0","0","0","0","0","0","0","0","0","0","0","0","750","950","746","955"," P3231",,"04","32","32",,,,,,,,"758","946",,"A000","4","D000","5","000","0","0","0","0","D","P","0","0","0","0","0","0","0","0","0","0","0","2/22/2007","000","012","144","2/20/2007","2/20/2007"
*the part where it is in bold is the one that is mapped from the column OPERATIVE_FLIGHT_LEG_DATE to the OPERATIVE_FLIGHT_LEG_DATE column (flat to physical, right?)
it is set as DATE in all settings (mapping, file, etc..)
Any form of help will be greatly appreciated :)
Thanks!

Hi Bharadwaj,
Yes, I believe you are right. And yes that column is designated a primary key. The weird thing is, we do have null values being entered into the table from the flat file, but these values are far from the "OPERATIVE_FLIGHT_LEG_DATE" column (index-wise). Let me give you an example of our case:
this is a row in the flat file: (sample data only)
"2/20/2007","I","0899","N","TPE","MNL","0","0","0","0","0","0","0","0","0","0","0","0","0","0","0","0","0","750","950","746","955"," P3231",,"04","32","32",,,,,,,,"758","946",,"A000","4","D000","5","000","0","0","0","0","D","P","0","0","0","0","0","0","0","0","0","0","0","2/22/2007","000","012","144","2/20/2007","2/20/2007"
as you can see, I've made the 'null' values bold, as well as the data for OPERATIVE_FLIGHT_LEG_DATE (which shows up, as you can see, at the end of the row).
Now, in the OWB table, the OPERATIVE_FLIGHT_LEG_DATE column is set as a primary key (or foreign, i think, I'll check again) and, thus, is set as one of those columns to first receive data transferred from the flat file.
We see nothing wrong with our mask (which is mm/dd/yyyy by the way) as well as with our data type settings. It has to be with the flat file I guess. We're gonna try putting in dummy values in place of the null ones in the flat file. I'll get back to you asap. Thanks for helping out. :D

ORA-00923:FROM KEYWORD NOT FOUND WHERE EXPECTED

I have nade a oracle ODBC TO MS-EXCEL.While writting query in microsoft query editor I got the error msg
ORA-00923:FROM KEYWORD NOT FOUND WHERE EXPECTED
The following query runs fine on sql plus editior
wht could be the reason ,pls guide me
select ORDR_H.ORDERDT,ordR_h.orderno,ordr_h.partycd "CODE",
DECODE (PARTY_M.PARTY_TY,1,'TRADE',2,'NTR'),
party_m.party_n1,c1.citee_nm "Stockist Place",
c.citee_nm "CONSIGNEE PLACE"

where
ordr_h.orderno=ordr_d.orderno

and c1.citee_cd=party_ct
and ordr_h.partycd=party_m.party_cd
and ordr_h.orderdt>='01-jan-09'
order by 2,3

One thing that comes to mind is that ODBC does not allow Oracle-specific syntax.

'FROM keyword not found where expected'error while Inserting into Text file

Hi,
I have created a simple interface for testing purpose. All it has to do is to Read the data from a Source Text file and put it into another text file (exactly the same headers as that of source) ...
I am using Oracle as my staging area.
But at 'Insert column Header' Stage, it gives me a warning 'FROM keyword not found where expected' and when it goes to the next step 'Insert Rows' it gives me the same error 'FROM keyword not found where expected' and aborts its execution.
I checked the query for insertion and found nothing wrong in it (FROM Statement is just where it is expected, that is) but somehow its not working.
Can somebody help me out as i have done it before on other Installations and dont know why it is occuring that too for the simplest thing in ODI ...
Regards,
Nitesh.

Probably you missed the concat operator.

JDBCaccess message ORA-01858: a non-numeric character was found where a num

Any help much appreciated.

Hi Deepak,
I would first look at your session state, this should show what was passed to the procedure.
I would suggest that if you have a select list showing a null value that that would be the issue as it passes %null% through.

Michael
