LC,
ORA-01820:     format code cannot appear in date input format
Cause:     A date specification contained an invalid format code. Only the following may be specified when entering a date: year, month, day, hours, minutes, seconds, Julian day, A.M./P.M. and B.C./A.D.
Action:     Remove the invalid format code from the date specification.
Looking at the cause,you can't use a format code like W in the date format for converting a text to date. To_date doesn't accept it.

FIrst of all you should stay with the date format. Instead of converting it into a string you could TRUNCATE it to the first day of the Iso-Wekk.
And to enable index usage you just have to put a certain range on your queries.
example
select *
from t
where col_date >= trunc(sysdate, 'IW') ;if col_date can hold values that are greater than syste. Or if you use another date value to compare than sysdate. Then you need to compare with a range. Just like this
select *
from t
where col_date >= trunc(sysdate, 'IW')
and col_date < trunc(sysdate, 'IW')+7 ;If you want to input a certain WEEK and get all entries from that week you can start with the first day of the iso-Year and add the number of weeks to it.
example using iso-Week 40
select *
from t
where col_date >= trunc(sysdate, 'IYYY') + 7 * 40
and col_date < trunc(sysdate, 'IYYY')+7 * (40 + 1);However calendar arithmetic is complex. We have to be careful for special cases. For example the beginning of the ISO-Year 2011 is the 3rd Jan 2011. So if we run this logic on the first or second of January *2011* we would get the calendar week 40 from *2010*. This is probably not what you want.
To take this into account we must make sure that we are using the proper year. There are several possibilities how to do it. In this case I choose to use the normal TRUNC to get the first day of the normal year (1.1.2011) then add a week and truncate again.
example
select *
from t
where col_date >= trunc(trunc(sysdate,'YYYY)+7, 'IYYY') + 7 * 40
and col_date < trunc(trunc(sysdate,'YYYY)+7, 'IYYY')+7 * (40 + 1);Edited by: Sven W. on Dec 3, 2010 8:52 AM

How to get date in format(1st jan 2006 ).

can we get get the date in the 1st jan 2006 format .
we can get the date in format 1 jan 2006 by using (d MMM yyyy) but i am not able to get st, nd, or rd after the day in(d mmm yyyy)format like 1st 2nd 3rd 4th

Search and thou shall find. I read a similar thread just yesterday, school task?
you can say that you have a String postfix, which is set like this:
String postfix = "";
switch(dayOfMonth) {
     case 1:case 21:case31: postfix = "st"; break;
     case 2:case 22: postfix = "nd"; break;
     case 3:case 23: postfix = "rd"; break;
     default: postfix = "th";

The ORA-02063 just tells you that the error came from a different server, PULSARL, which means you must be selecting across a database link.
Btw, what does this mean:
AND a.usagedate >=
TO_CHAR (TO_DATE ( '2011-05-22 11:40:47', 'yyyy-MM-dd HH:mm:ss'))Why are you converting a string into DATE and then back into string? - What data type is usagedate?

Java.sql.SQLException: ORA-01157: cannot identify/lock data file 7 - see DB

I am deploying my application components on Oracle RAC database, when i install my app component i will run a script which creates a user and tablespace on bot rac-nodes(node1 and node2)
as database is clustered, the user are created on 2 nodes and tablespace is stored in a shared location for two rac nodes
i am able to successfully run my script on rac-node1 and and installed my component and when i started installing the app component on node2 getting error
java.sql.SQLException: ORA-01157: cannot identify/lock data file 7 - see DBWR trace file
ORA-01110: data file 7: '/db/db/db/ora10g/10.2.0/admin/dbadmin_01.dbf'
ORA-06512: at "ADMIN.XL_SP_DBCHECK", line 48
ORA-06512: at line 1
"dbadmin_01.dbf is the custom tablespace which created by me"
i a mgetting error while installing the app component on rac-node2

You should not create database files outside of the ASM.
I'm not sure you can move the datafile, I would export the data from the tablespace (if there is data you need there), delete the tablespace and recreate it in the ASM, then import the data back.
If you want to move the datafile, you can try using RMAN (from node1).
First connect to the database with sqlplus and execute:
alter tablespace <tbs_name> offline;Then start RMAN: rman target /
BACKUP AS COPY DATAFILE '<file>' FORMAT '+<ASM_DG>';Then in sqlplus, execute:
alter tablespace <tbs_name> online;I'm not sure it will work, and I hope I got the commands right because I can't check it right now.
Good luck

Cannot Paste Duration data--format changes upon Paste!

I'm pasting some tabular data and one column is Duration (Ex: 01:19:00) and when I paste the data in values like 01:19:00 become 1:19 AM.
I need the actual durations so they can be computed.... how can I get Numbers to stop automatically changing these values???
Thanks,
Robert

For those which don't want to pre-format a table, I wrote this script which protect the durations.
CAUTION :
as the developers forgot to include duration in the list of formats settable thru AppleScript, I apply the format text. You will have to change it to duration 0:00:00.
--[SCRIPT iTunestoNumbers]
Enregistrer le script en tant que Script : iTunestoNumbers.scpt
déplacer le fichier ainsi créé dans le dossier
<VolumeDeDémarrage>:Users:<votreCompte>:Library:Scripts:Applications:Numbers:
Il vous faudra peut-être créer le dossier Numbers et peut-être même le dossier Applications.
Copier des données dans iTunes. Si elles contiennent des durées,
aller au menu Scripts , choisir Numbers puis choisir “iTunestoNumbers”
Le script les colle dans une table d'un nouveau document Numbers
dont certaines colonnes sont définies au format texte pour préserver les dites durées.
Il vous faudra retoucher le format en spécifiant durée, 0:00:00 dans l'Inspecteur de cellules.
Je suis désolé mais les dévelopeurs ont oublié d'inclure durée dans les formats applicables à l’aide d’AppleScript.
--=====
L’aide du Finder explique:
L’Utilitaire AppleScript permet d’activer le Menu des scripts :
Ouvrez l’Utilitaire AppleScript situé dans le dossier Applications/AppleScript.
Cochez la case “Afficher le menu des scripts dans la barre de menus”.
Sous 10.6.x,
aller dans le panneau “Général” du dialogue Préférences de l’Éditeur Applescript
puis cocher la case “Afficher le menu des scripts dans la barre des menus”.
--=====
Save the script as a Script: iTunestoNumbers.scpt
Move the newly created file into the folder:
<startup Volume>:Users:<yourAccount>:Library:Scripts:Applications:Numbers:
Maybe you would have to create the folder Numbers and even the folder Applications by yourself.
Copy datas from iTunes. If they contain durations,
go to the Scripts Menu, choose Numbers, then choose “iTunestoNumbers”
The script will paste the datas in a Numbers new table
whose some columns are defined as text to protect the duration entries.
You will have to adjust the format to duration 0:00:00 thru the Inspector of Cells.
I apologize but the develpers forgot to include duration in the list of formats settable thru AppleScript.
--=====
The Finder’s Help explains:
To make the Script menu appear:
Open the AppleScript utility located in Applications/AppleScript.
Select the “Show Script Menu in menu bar” checkbox.
Under 10.6.x,
go to the General panel of AppleScript Editor’s Preferences dialog box
and check the “Show Script menu in menu bar” option.

Java.sql.SQLException: ORA-01157: cannot identify/lock data file : PLz Help

My datafiles are in ASM file system, however the only one file ACIPEN_DATA is the one, which is not in ASM file system, and this the file which is in concern.
We are getting the following exception in the lxkratgas1.lex1.lexmark.com when connecting to ACIPEN_DATA.
This exception is coming up sometimes and the sometimes the file is getting processed successfully

ORA-01830: date format picture ends before converting entire input string at OCI call OCIStmtFetch

Hi all,
We are trying to create a BIP Data Model based on an Answer, but after selecting report, it hangs when I try to Apply to create a query based on Oracle BI. When I try to open the query in aswers, going to results tab I'm getting this error (OBIEE 11.1.1.6.2):
ORA-01830: date format picture ends before converting entire input string at OCI call OCIStmtFetch
I suppose that BIP data model is not able to create it because of this error. But this answer is working fine inside dashboards, etc. It only does not work when editing it. Query is doing something like this: "USING "- Collection Attributes"."Due Date" >= TIMESTAMPADD(SQL_TSI_DAY, -30, CAST ('01/04/2009' AS DATE))"
Any ideas?

Solved watching date format in generated SQL and changing default date format in presentation variables default values inside criteria according to SQL format.

ORA-01157: cannot identify/lock data file error in standby database.

Hi,
i have a primary database and standby database (11.2.0.1.0) running in ASM with different diskgroup names. I applied an incremental backup on standby database to resolve archive log gap and generated a controlfile for standby in primary database and restored the controlfile in standby database.But when i started the MRP process its not starting and thows error in alert log ORA-01157: cannot identify/lock data file. When i queried the standby database file it shows the location on primary database datafiles names not the standby database.

Then I created a disk group:
CREATE DISKGROUP STORE EXTERNAL REDUNDANCY DISK '/dev/asm210';
Then I created a new tablespace:
CREATE TABLESPACE store DATAFILE '+STORE';
I did all this operations from NODE1.
What is happening now is that everytime I try to read something from new diskgroup FROM NODE2 I get the ORA-01157:
ORA-01157: cannot identify/lock data file 13 - see DBWR trace file
ORA-01110: data file 13: '+STORE/evodb/datafile/store.256.719232707
No problem to read from NODE1.
The simple query on dba_data_file work from NODE1 and fails from NODE2 with the ORA-01157.
I found this on the alert log:
<msg time='2010-05-18T10:06:41.084+00:00' org_id='oracle' comp_id='rdbms'

I didn't understand what do you mean with thread...
But I think you found the problem
Initialization files of both ASM instance are: SPFILE='/dev/spfileASM'
that SPFILE is (common for both):
+ASM2.__oracle_base='/u01/app/oracle'#ORACLE_BASE set from environment
+ASM2.asm_diskgroups='ONLINELOG','ARCHIVELOG','DATA'
+ASM1.asm_diskgroups='ONLINELOG','ARCHIVELOG','DATA','STORE'#Manual Mount
*.asm_diskstring='/dev/asm*'
*.cluster_database=true
*.diagnostic_dest='/u01/app/oracle'
+ASM1.instance_number=1
+ASM2.instance_number=2
*.instance_type='asm'
*.large_pool_size=12M
+ASM1.local_listener='LISTENER_ASM'
+AC
Then I executed another query:
From ASM1
SQL> select instance_name from v$instance;
INSTANCE_NAME
+ASM1
SQL> select name, state from v$asm_diskgroup;
NAME STATE
ARCHIVELOG MOUNTED
DATA MOUNTED
ONLINELOG MOUNTED
STORE MOUNTED
SQL>
From ASM2
SQL> select instance_name from v$instance;
INSTANCE_NAME
+ASM2
SQL> select name, state from v$asm_diskgroup;
NAME STATE
ARCHIVELOG MOUNTED
DATA MOUNTED
ONLINELOG MOUNTED
STORE DISMOUNTED
SQL>
Than the question is:
how can I mount the disk group STORE also on ASM2?
I think the problems is into the spfile lines:
+ASM2.asm_diskgroups='ONLINELOG','ARCHIVELOG','DATA'
+ASM1.asm_diskgroups='ONLINELOG','ARCHIVELOG','DATA','STORE'
How can I change the +ASM2.asm_diskgroups value?
Thanks

What is wrong?

It is most likely that the NLS files are missing from the server/pc.
Also look at the apachectl file.
Find the following line:
NLS_LANG=${NLS_LANG=""}; export NLS_LANG
Modify this line to look like the following:
NLS_LANG=AMERICAN_AMERICA.CL8MSWIN1251; export NLS_LANG

ASM diskgroups unmounting, getting ORA-01157: cannot identify/lock data fil

All,
We've recently purchased a RAMSAN device for better throughput. I created the initial diskgroup with the following syntax:
CREATE DISKGROUP EMTPRD0X_SSD01 NORMAL REDUNDANCY
FAILGROUP RS1 DISK '/dev/rdsk_ramsan_primary' NAME ssd_prim
FAILGROUP RS2 DISK '/dev/rdsk_ramsan_backup' NAME ssd_bkup;
and then created a temporary tablespace on top of that diskgroup:
create temporary tablespace temp04 tempfile '+EMTPRD0X_SSD01' size 25g, '+EMTPRD0X_SSD01' size 25g, '+EMTPRD0X_SSD01' size 25g, '+EMTPRD0X_SSD01' size 25g, '+EMTPRD0X_SSD01' size 25g;
Everything seemed fine at first and then end users started seeing the following errors in the alert log:
SUCCESS: diskgroup EMTPRD0X_SSD01 was mounted
SUCCESS: diskgroup EMTPRD0X_SSD01 was dismounted
SUCCESS: diskgroup EMTPRD0X_SSD01 was mounted
SUCCESS: diskgroup EMTPRD0X_SSD01 was dismounted

ORA-01110: data file 3009: '+EMTPRD0X_SSD01/emtprd0x/tempfile/temp04.256.732210281'
After talking with Oracle support I was told that the only workaround for diskgroups unmounting themselves is to put a control file/redo log/dummy tablespace inside of that diskgroup and continually write/read from it.
Does that make sense?
They pointed me to note 603204.1 - Why FRA Diskgroup Gets Mounted/Dismounted.
The system is a 3 node Oracle 10.2.0.4 rac running on ASM Solaris x86 64bit.
Any ideas?
Thanks,
