NVL Function and Truncate Function in Template Builder

Hi Guys,
How would I use NVL function and Truncate function in the Word Template Builder.
These functions do not work in the Query Builder when i use SQL Query as the Dataset while creating a report.
I could not find examples in the Publisher Guide either.
Thanks
rkingmdu

Hi
How can you not use the functions in your query? Does the builder return an error? ow about just pasting your query into the report definition does the nvl/trunc work then ?

Excel function and ev function not working in static column key

I have created a evdre report and I notice that when I tried to use any excel function and ev functions in the static column key cell to get the value for that cell, it's not working.
e.g I have Col key define as:
ColKeyRange Sheet!&$J$12:$N$14
In K13 which is key id for time. I define is as = $K$10 where K10 is the time value from current view, it not working,the value is still K13 = $K$10. then I tried to use EVCVW function to replace K10, it also not working, but I use the same function in the description of the ID underneath, both of the are working, Any thought?

Hi,
That was exactly what I meant. They just dont work on the green ID areas or the yellow data region. Few days back even I tried that, but didnt work. So, I followed the different approach. I dont remember about the dynamic templates. Are you sure that the functions were written in the green ID region?
I remember this used to work fine in the MS version. However, in the NW version, even I am not able to make them work.

Analytic function and aggregate function

What are analytic function and aggregate function. What is difference between them?

hi,
Analytic Functions :----------
Analytic functions compute an aggregate value based on a group of rows. They differ from aggregate functions in that they return multiple rows for each group. The group of rows is called a window and is defined by the analytic_clause. For each row, a sliding window of rows is defined. The window determines the range of rows used to perform the calculations for the current row. Window sizes can be based on either a physical number of rows or a logical interval such as time.
Analytic functions are the last set of operations performed in a query except for the final ORDER BY clause. All joins and all WHERE, GROUP BY, and HAVING clauses are completed before the analytic functions are processed. Therefore, analytic functions can appear only in the select list or ORDER BY clause.
Analytic functions are commonly used to compute cumulative, moving, centered, and reporting aggregates.
Aggregate Functions :----------
Aggregate functions return a single result row based on groups of rows, rather than on single rows. Aggregate functions can appear in select lists and in ORDER BY and HAVING clauses. They are commonly used with the GROUP BY clause in a SELECT statement, where Oracle Database divides the rows of a queried table or view into groups. In a query containing a GROUP BY clause, the elements of the select list can be aggregate functions, GROUP BY expressions, constants, or expressions involving one of these. Oracle applies the aggregate functions to each group of rows and returns a single result row for each group.
If you omit the GROUP BY clause, then Oracle applies aggregate functions in the select list to all the rows in the queried table or view. You use aggregate functions in the HAVING clause to eliminate groups from the output based on the results of the aggregate functions, rather than on the values of the individual rows of the queried table or view.
let me know if you are feeling any problem in understanding.
thanks.

LINQ Canonical Functions and Oracle Functions

Hello,
I am using EntityFramework (.NET 4) to access a Oracle Database (11g Express Edition Release 11.2.0.2.0 - 64bit Production).
For the most part it is working fine, but now I've stumble into a issue using LINQ Canonical Functions, that aparently are supported (see : Mapping LINQ Canonical Functions and Oracle Functions)
I am running the following expression :
var expirationDuration = 3000;
var record = Context.Table
.Where(x => x.Created.AddMilliseconds(expirationDuration) > DateTime.Now )
.FirstOrDefault();
And im getting a exception :
"LINQ to Entities does not recognize the method 'System.DateTime AddMilliseconds(Double)' method, and this method cannot be translated into a store expression."
Shouldn't AddMilliseconds be translated to (expression) + INTERVAL like the docs mentions?
Thanks for help
Regards,Nuno

Neither ODP.NET nor SQLClient recognizes System.DateTime AddMilliseconds(Double) method as a valid method
I would suggest you use EntityFunctions AddMilliseconds instead.

Having trouble with using variables in functions and after functions..

Morning,
I have simplified this, as it represents the core of what’s I obviously don't know how to do.
Problem:
Say I populate that variable by reading in a list if IP addresses from file, finding the line that matches the hostname and place that string into the $IPAddress variable for use later throughout the script.   I did not run into a significant problem
until I decided to convert the routine of looking up the IP address and populating the variable into a function.   As soon as I made it a function, and called that function, the $IPAddress variable only had the data in it until the function completed.
Once the function had done its work, and had placed the data into the variable, I expected that “new” data to be available after the function had completed..in that variable. But it’s like the $IPAddress variable in the main script is a totally
different data then the variable with the same name that’s used within the function.
So I think this demonstrates some of what’s kicking my butt..
$IPAddress = "This is the wrong data”
Function TestFunction ()
$IPAddress #call to display the contents of the variable at the start of the function.
$IPAddress = Read-Host -Prompt "Please enter the text ‘Goober’"
$IPAddress   #call to display the contents of the variable at the end of the function.
TestFunction
$IPAddress
The output I get is:
This is the wrong data
"Please enter ‘Goober’" : where I enter Goober
Goober
This is the wrong data
Huh?
I had expected:
This is the wrong data
"Please enter ‘Goober’" : where I enter Goober
Goober
Goober
What good is the repeatability of a function if it’s output is lost?

THis seems to work.. IS there any reason NOT to do this?
$Global:IPAddress= "This is the wrong data” #"
Function TestFunction{
    Write-Host $IPAddress-fore green
      $host.ui.RawUI.FlushInputBuffer()
     $Global:IPAddress =
Read-Host -Prompt
"Please enter the text ‘Goober’"
    return$Global:IPAddress
TestFunction
return$Global:IPAddress

Analytical View - Substring function and Other functions.

Hello All

Difference between Shipping function and install function in O2A

Hi,
I am asking this query from domain perspective than from technology. There are two functions in O2A namely install order and shipping function. Can anyone please explain the activities under these function.
1. Engineer takes the equipment to customer premises: Is this install order of ship function?
2. Is shipping function related to supply chain from vendor perspective and not customer perspective.
Please let me know your views. Thanks

According to me the logic might be Shipping and Install functions are mutually exclusive. So The scenario might be like this:-
Shipping Function:-
1. Some shipping company ships the equipment to the customer and that is tracked in CSP's system that customer has received the shipment.
Install function:-
2. Customer would have confirmed some appointment date in CAF form.
3. Field Engineer will then goto the customer premises and then install the equipment.

Using sum function and round function in single text form field

Hi all,
I have a column Name - A . In the rtf template i have summed up the column A and showing it. But the output is coming as 99.9999997. I want to round it to 100.
I tried using <?round(sum(A),2)?> but dint workout.
I also tried using variables. It is also not working.. I used <?xdoxslt:set_variable($_XDOCTX,’ABS',sum(A)?> and then i used get variable to get it.... But it throwing error while using sum in the set variable step.
Can anyone please help me..
Thanks
Sunil

Hi Sunil,
Calculate the sum into a Variable. and apply round function on the variable to get the desired value.
Calculating sum:
<?xdoxslt:set_variable($_XDOCTX,'v',xdoxslt:get_variable($_XDOCTX,'v')+DOLLARS)?> (its running sum formula,should be placed inside the table to get sum of all rows of particular column)
here Variable 'v' holds the sum value
apply round function:
<?round(xdoxslt:get_variable($_XDOCTX,'v'))?>
Thanks and Regards,
Aravind

Aggregate functions and normal function in SELECT statement

hi
i am using MS Access DataBase ...
i have lot of integer coloumns in my Database
i want to retrieve the coloumn values as well as the min , max and avg of that coloumn
i dont know whether its possible to do in a single statement or not
generally if we retrieve the values of a particular coloum
we say " SELECT length FROM TABLENAME WHERE somecondition"
and then get the values as int len = rs.getInt("length")..... over a loop
but how to retieve the value of an aggregate function?
like if i say "SELECT avg(colname),max(colname),min(colname) FROM TABLENAME WHERE somecondition"
how do i retrieve this value ???
i dont know if its possible or not ....pls help.........

Give names too each column
SELECT avg(colname) average,max(colname) max,....
and then rs.getInt("average")
This works in Oracle and Sybase, not sure on MS access tough

How to use analytic function with aggregate function

hello
can we use analytic function and aggrgate function in same qurey? i tried to find any example on Net but not get any example how both of these function works together. Any link or example plz share with me
Edited by: Oracle Studnet on Nov 15, 2009 10:29 PM

select
t1.region_name,
t2.division_name,
t3.month,
t3.amount mthly_sales,
max(t3.amount) over (partition by t1.region_name, t2.division_name)
max_mthly_sales
from
region t1,
division t2,
sales t3
where
t1.region_id=t3.region_id
and
t2.division_id=t3.division_id
and
t3.year=2004
Source:http://www.orafusion.com/art_anlytc.htm
Here max (aggregate) and over partition by (analytic) function is in same query. So it means we can use aggregate and analytic function in same query and more than one analytic function in same query also.

BIPublisher Template Builder Error: System Error &H80040111 (-21472211231)

Hi,
I have installed BIPublisher Desktop 10.1.3.4.2 on my Windows XP SP3 machine and i can see Template Builder Add-In added to MS Word. But, When ever i try to access Template builder menu, word is displaying the following error and i can't do anything.
"*System Error &H80040111 (-21472211231) Cannot Supply Requested Class Factory" (On header it says, Microsoft Visual Basic)..*
I had same installation (BIP 10.1.3.4.2 on Windows XP SP3 system) at my earlier client and no issues there. In both cases i have Microsoft Office 2007. I tried BIPublisher 11.1.1.5 Desktop too but same error. Can any one suggest any thing?. We tried re-installing MS Office but no luck. I found couple of posts on Microsoft support website but nothing helped.
Thank you
Vijay

AT LAST IT WORKED...
We installed Office 2010 by keeping Office 2007 (you can do this by creating new installation folder for new office). Then we were able to get rid of this error using Word 2007. Looks like our office 2007 installation is missing few Visual Basic libraries which were fulfilled with Office 2010 installation. WHich may be strange as the office copy we have is our client copy (federal Govt). Luckily my client maintains both office 2007 and 2010. For those who doesn't have Office 2010, i am not sure what you can do but sorry.
Thank you
Vijay

XML Publisher 6.5.2 MS word Template Builder fails

Dear all,
My env is: Oracle DB 10.1.0.5 on redhat Linux, XML publisher 6.5.2 on Windows 2000.
While using the XML publisher GUI from the browser, I am able to connect successfully to the database.
However, when I try to build a RTF template from MS word, I am unable to do so. The MS word template builder wizard is throwing an exception, and I do not know how to solve it in spite of some googling around.
I gave the same connect identifier in the XMLP GUI (which connects) and also in the template builder (which fails to connect).
Any help/pointers for this will be welcome.
Best regards,
Ambarish.

ODBC functions SQLExecDirectW and SQLExecute functions return error:"DIAG [22001] [Microsoft][SQL Server Native Client 10.0]String data, right truncation (0) "

Problem Description:
ODBC functions SQLExecDirectW and SQLExecute functions return error:”DIAG [22001] [Microsoft][SQL Server Native Client 10.0]String data, right
truncation (0) “. When we enable tracing in the ODBC administrator, in the SQL.log we see that values for the arguments: ColumnSize, BufferLength, and StrLen_or_IndPtr of ODBC function SQLBindParameter are not being displayed.
Environment Used:
OS: Microsoft Windows Server 2003 R2 Standard x64 Edition.
Complier: Microsoft Visual Studio 2008 SP1 for x64.
Database: Microsoft SQL Server 2008
MDAC: Microsoft Data Access Components SDK 2.8
Note: This problem is seen only in our 64bit application. However, in 32bit
SQLExecDirectW and SQLExecute functions return successfully.
As we could not find the values of 6th, 9th and 10th arguments(ColumnSize,
BufferLength, and StrLen_or_IndPtr) passed to
SQLBindParameter in the ODBC traces for 64bit, we are not sure whether the values for the above mentioned arguments are received correctly by SQLBindParameter or not. This information would help us to debug further. So, could you please let us know why
these values are not displayed.
1)Here is the extract of the SQL.log file for 32bit where the values for SQLULEN , SQLLEN and SQLLEN* are displayed properly:
PR0CNFG 1028-15f0 ENTER SQLBindParameter

Hi Nalsr,
From my research, I found:
"[Microsoft][ODBC SQL Server Driver]String
data right truncation" error may be returned from a call to
SQLBindParameter if the size of the string parameter being used is greater than the size of the column being compared to. In other words if the
string size of the <expression> to the left of the <comparison_operator> is less than the
string size of the <expression> to the
right, ODBC may return this error.
The resolution is to make the string size of the <expression> to the
right of the <comparison_operator> less than or equal to the
string size of the <expression> on the left.
It is difficult to track down this type of problem when third party development applications are being used. ODBC Trace can be used to help determine if this problem is occuring.
Here is an example where the customer has submitted a query "select count(*) from type1 where type1 = ?", type1 is varchar(5) and the
data type being passed by the application is char[9].
Here is the relevant portion of the trace. The following information from the "exit" of SQLDescribeParam
SWORD * 0x0095e898 (12)
UDWORD * 0x0095e880 (5)
Maps to the following with the actual value in parenthesis - SQL_VARCHAR Size 5:
SQLSMALLINT *DataTypePtr
SQLUINTEGER *ParameterSizePtr
The "exit" value from SQLBindParameter provides the following
information:
SWORD 1 <SQL_PARAM_INPUT>
SWORD 1 <SQL_C_CHAR>
SQL Data Type SWORD 12 <SQL_VARCHAR>
Parameter Size UDWORD 5
SWORD 0
Value PTR 0x0181c188
Value Buffer Size SDWORD 5
String Length SDWORD * 0x0181c103 (9)
The string length parameter is the length of the
string being bound to the parameter, in this instance there is a size mismatch which results in the SQLError and the SQLErrorW with the message "[Microsoft][ODBC SQL Server
Driver]String data
right truncation" .
Hope this could be helpful.
Best regards,
Halin Huang

Segment builder and/or functionality....

We are looking for a technical / functional explanation of the AND / OR functions within the segment builder tool u2013 how they work on their own and how they work together (AND OR / OR AND / AND AND / OR OR). Anyone have a good answer?

Hi Ned,
I can give some oversight on the use of these operators in Segmentation while creating a Profile set.
To use these first you need to understand the concept of MultiFilters.
Multifilters: All filters that are selected at one time are treated as one multifilter.
Which means you can select more than one filter at a time and drop in the segmentation profile set screen to create one profile.To do this you need to first select one filter and hold ctrl key on your keyboard and select the other filter.
So to explain this multiple selection i have an example below:
Note: To achevie this both the Attributes are from one Attribute List: Attribute List XYZ has
Channel Attribute 1
Filter 1 - Email
Filter 2 - Phone
Priority Attribute 2
Filter 1 - High
Filter 2 - Medium
Filter 3 - Low
Scenario1 -
So now if i select OR within Attribute and select both the filter email, phone and drop on the right hand screen i will get a profile (Email OR Phone)
Scenario 2-
If i select OR within Attribute and AND across all attribute
Select filter email, phone (together) and select filter high,low (together) and drag and drop in the profile set screen i would be seeing a Profile (Email OR Phone) AND (High OR Low)
In the same way you can change the operands (OR,AND) for within an Attibute & across all attributes depending on your requirement to create your Profile & TG.
Thus this is how you use these operands during multifilter selection.
Hope this helps !
Regards,
Naveen
