SQL Concat function seem not to work properly in SQL query data model. BIP 11g

I try to use this function to show entire name CONCAT(name, ' ', surname) and it doesnt show the surname. it looks like it only tooks 2 arguments. I use it with the option "Add element by expression" within a SQL Query - Data set.
Lucia

i don't believe you
please post more info, may be screen or sql or some more useful statement
CONCAT(name, ' ', surname) and it doesnt show the surname
may be because for some case "surname" is empty or may be you incorrect use concat function
one way mentioned by BluShadow is " || " operator - http://docs.oracle.com/cd/B28359_01/server.111/b28286/operators003.htm#SQLRF51156
and another is concat function http://docs.oracle.com/cd/B28359_01/server.111/b28286/functions026.htm#SQLRF00619
so for your case it can be like
CONCAT(CONCAT(name, ' '), surname)

Using Concat function - in Excel Source

Hi,
I am using an Excel file as a source and oracle table as a target.
In the Excel file i need to concatenate two columns and map it to the target oracle column based on a condition.
I used the concat function in Expression Editor, but its throwing an error 'Undefined expression' as our source is not a oracle.
What should i do to execute the excel function in ODI?
Thanks in Advance

Hi,
Probably, you have mistake in Excell syntax, try to concutenate columns by Oracle (set 'target' radiobutton in mapping and use '||') and we will see...

Using Oracle Analytical Workspace With Excel

Hi i have created an analytical workspace on Oracle Analytical Workspace, Now suppose i want to access this workspace from Excel , is this possible ?? If so How

Hi,
I understand there are three Oracle plug-ins for Excel: OLAP, OBIEE, and Essbase. I presume the plug-in you are using is the OLAP plug-in, which only works with Oracle 10g or earlier. Starting in Oracle 11g, however, Oracle recommends you use the Simba MDX Provider for Oracle OLAP (http://www.oracle.com/us/corporate/press/036550 and http://www.oracle.com/us/corporate/press/173668).
If you use the MDX Provider, your application can connect directly to the Oracle OLAP cube. Since you are using Excel, your users don't need to connect through Oracle, and you do not need to manipulate the retrieved data before displaying it. Excel and its PivotTables will generate MDX queries against the Oracle database through the MDX Provider, so you don't need to use any plug-ins or APIs. This means you don't need to learn any new menus or APIs -- you just use native Excel functionality. Furthermore, your data is coming live from the Oracle database. Each time you open your workboook, you refresh your data with the Data -> Refresh button, and your spreadsheet data is current, not a stale copy.
Please let me know if I am missing something in your requirements. Feel free to contact me directly if you have any questions or concerns.

How to use Special Characters in CONCAT function or another form with Xquer

Hello everyone
I'm using PS3 OEPE within message flow (proxy)and I'm using Xquery.
I'm using the CONCAT function, but this does not allow me to concatenate special characters not allowed, for example:
I want to concatenate these strings:
String1 = “&lt;get-person&gt;&lt;id-person&;gt;”
String2 = “123”
String3 = “&lt;/id-person&;gt; &lt;/get-person&gt;”
I want to represent characters regex. It means no XML characters
Someone knows some way, any function that allows me to concatenate in OSB these values with Xquery?
Edited by: chromosoma on Sep 5, 2012 5:59 PM

Hi,
It seems to me you're doing things in the most complicated way possible...
Firstly, you should use codepoints-to-string not the reverse... Secondly, the function work with decimals, not hexa
http://www.xqueryfunctions.com/xq/fn_codepoints-to-string.html
http://www.xqueryfunctions.com/xq/fn_string-to-codepoints.html
This works...
concat(codepoints-to-string(38),'lt',codepoints-to-string(59),'get-person')But this also works... Note that I've inserted a space between the & and the lt so the forum formatting can show it...
let
$String1 := "& lt;get-person& gt;& lt;id-person& gt;",
$String2 := "123",
$String3 := "& lt;/id-person& gt;& lt;/get-person& gt;"
return
concat($String1,$String2,$String3)And, finally this also works... So what's the reason for escaping < and > with &lt and &gt; and why codepoints?
let
$String1 := "<get-person><id-person>",
$String2 := "123",
$String3 := "</id-person></get-person>"
return
concat($String1,$String2,$String3)Cheers,
Vlad

Duplicate Rows In Oracle Pipelined Table Functions

Hi fellow oracle users,
I am trying to create an Oracle piplined table function that contains duplicate records. Whenever I try to pipe the same record twice, the duplicate record does not show up in the resulting pipelined table.
Here's a sample piece of SQL:
/* Type declarations */
TYPE MY_RECORD IS RECORD(
MY_NUM INTEGER
TYPE MY_TABLE IS TABLE OF MY_RECORD;
/* Pipelined function declaration */
FUNCTION MY_FUNCTION RETURN MY_TABLE PIPELINED IS
V_RECORD MY_RECORD;
BEGIN
-- insert first record
V_RECORD.MY_NUM = 1;
PIPE ROW (V_RECORD);
-- insert second duplicate record
V_RECORD.MY_NUM = 1;
PIPE ROW (V_RECORD);
-- return piplined table
RETURN;
END;
/* Statement to query pipelined function */
SELECT * FROM TABLE( MY_FUNCTION ); -- for some reason this only returns one record instead of two
I am trying to get the duplicate row to show up in the select statement. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Can you provide actual output from an SQL*Plus prompt trying this? I don't see the same behavior

How to implement the Oracle Group by function in Crystal reports?

Hi all,
In SQL, for example we have a group function like:
select district,state, country, continent, sum(no.of people) from world.
Now, How to implement this group function in crystal reports? Please advise.
Thanks in advance..
Regards,
sriram

Hi Vinay,
Thanks for the prompt reply.
In one of our report, we are supposed to perform group by for 14 columns to get sum of 3 columns and there by displaying 17 columns in the report.
When we tried in crystal reports to implement this oracle group by functionality:
1. We created 14 groups from the Insert->Group option.
2. By performing this, we got 14 group sections vertically(one inside the other).
3. Then we created the sum(15th column),sum(16th column), sum(17th column) by Insert->Summary option.
4. We suppresed all the group sections except for the last group.
5. Then, dragged all the groups to the last group section along with the summary fields.
This is how, we tried to acheive the oracle group by function in Crystal reports.
Please advise, whether our approach is right. If not, please suggest the appropriate approach with a bit detailed explanation.
Thanks,
Sriram.

Problems with concat-function in xdofx-paragraph

hi their,
i have a problem with the concat-function in xdofx-paragraph.
i fill variable with the decode-function and i will these evaluate in if-then-else-statement. it must be nested.
now i would like to bring together element tag(field) with variable, but those not work.
i try the simple if-statement and it works. why?
<?variable@incontext: v_sa?><?xdofx: decode(SA, ’GS’,’Grundschule’, ’MS’,’Mittelschule’,’GYM’,’Gymnasium’, ’BS’,’Berufsschule’,’AFS’,’Förderschule’,’B2’,’2.Bildungsweg’)?><?end variable?>
don't works
<?xdofx:if SA and SPR then concat(SPR,string($v_sa)) else SPR end if?>
works
<?if: SA or SPR?><?if:SA and SPR?><?concat(SPR,string($v_sa))?><?end if?>
can anyone help me, please
thanks a lot for advice
best regards
Holger Hauschild

I don't know if you ever resolved this, but you may just ned to change a setting on your query properties. When data is entered into planning layouts and saved, that data is put into a "yellow" request in the underlying infocube.
Until the necessary volume of data is posted which causes this to change to "green", it remains yellow. Note that this request could also be changed to green several ways. i.e. manually, by flipping the "real-time infocube behavior" switch, etc.
Anyway, as long as it "yellow" your query, by default will not consider it, unless you change it's properties to tell it to consider "yellow" requests. This can be done via RSRT and pressing the "properties" button. Choose request status "2" and your problem should be solved

Using concat Function in Mapping

Hello,
I have a mapping where I'm using the standart concat function to concatenate the content of two queues. Every queue has normally only one entry. When both queues have one entry, it is working without any issues.
But now my problem: First queue has one entry and second queue has only a supresser. When I want to concatenate both queues, the result is also a supresser. But I'd like to have that the result will be the entry of the first queue when second queue exists of supresser...
How can I get this realized that the concat function is also working in this case?
Is there maybe a workaround?
Thank you for your help.

Hi Lukas
You can add the node function MapwithDefault with default value space after the field which is having suppress value.
Then add the output of MapwithDefault to the second input of concat function.
This will generate the output as the value of first field.
let me know if you have any doubts.

Goup by in oracle vs group function in coldfusion

Hello
what is the difference between goup by in oracle vs group
function in coldfusion?

It's easier to list the similarities:
Both use the word "group".
Other than that: they're different things.
Both are well documented in their respective documentation
sources (which
are avaialble online). Suggest you read up.

10g - cache, report contains oracle user defined function

hi, experts,
from http://obiee101.blogspot.com/2008/07/obiee-cache-management.html
Reasons Why a Query is Not Added to the Cache:
•Non-cacheable SQL element. If a SQL request contains Current_Timestamp, Current_Time, Rand, Populate, or a parameter marker then it is not added to the cache.
•Non-cacheable table. Physical tables in the Oracle BI Server repository can be marked 'noncacheable'. If a query references any non-cacheable table then the query results will not be added to the cache.
•Cache hit. In general, if the query gets a cache hit on a previously cached query, then the results of the current query are not added to the cache. The exception is query hits that are aggregate roll-up hits.
•Result set is too big.
Query is cancelled. This can happen by explicit cancellation from Oracle BI Presentation Services or the Administration Tool, or implicitly through timeout.
•Oracle BI Server is clustered. Queries that fall into the ‘cache seeding’ family are propagated throughout the cluster. Other queries continue to be stored locally. Therefore, even though a query may be put into the cache on Oracle BI Server node 1, it may not be on Oracle BI Server node 2.
I would like to know
if the request (report on dashboard) calls an oracle user defined function, can the cache be created and saved for this report?
thank you very much!

Hi stephen,
if the request (report on dashboard) calls an oracle user defined function, can the cache be created and saved for this report?Yes,it is cached.....function defined in database is called in OBIEE is cached and saved.
More information and example can be found here http://oraclebizint.wordpress.com/2007/09/10/oracle-bi-ee-10133-support-for-native-database-functions-and-aggregates/
Hope it helps you.Check all other questions you posted are answered?

Issue in concat function

Hi All,
I have a requirement like all the input variable of BPEL Notification process have to be sent in the mail body.
But when i use concat function I am getting error as 'Invalid XQuery Expression'.
I have used concat like
Concat('Hi the of the Customer you are looking for is Name:','','INPUT VARIABLE WHICH I GET', 'Age', '',''INPUT VARIABLE2 WHICH I GET')
Can anyone say me how this can be done.
Thanks in advance

Hi vivek thanks for your reply.
The example which u have given wil work for different variables. But I want to assign all the inputvariables in my Notification Process Mail body.
Any example where concat can be used for many string variables will be of great help.
I wil explain the scnerio
I am getting the Customer Name, Customer ID, Customer Address.... as input to BPEL Notification process.
I want my Notification body to look like this.
Hi,
The details of customer are:
Name of the Customer : Vivek (THIS IS THE INPUT VARIABLE WHICH I GET IN BPEL PROCESS)
Customer ID: 2334566(THIS IS THE INPUT VARIABLE WHICH I GET IN BPEL PROCESS)
Customer Address: 47, XXXXXX, XXX street, xxxx-444444(THIS IS THE INPUT VARIABLE WHICH I GET IN BPEL PROCESS)
what expression can i use to concat all these things. I want to do it in one expression.
I have nearly 15 input variables which has to be send in my mail.

Concern on Message Mapping - Concat function

Hello Experts,
We have a concern in our message mapping structure. The target field is "Sold-To id" at line level and source filed is "Customer No" which appears in the header node. We are using a series of concat functions while mapping these two fields. Now, the issue is that the second concact function's input queue does not read all the values passed from the first concat function's output queue. We have checked their respective contexts but could not find the cause of this behaviour.
Due to this the mappiing fails and the target field is not populated with the required values.
Kindly advice.
Thanks in advance,
Elizabeth Jacob.

Hi Elizabeth,
You have
1 KUNNR value
2. VTWEG values
2 SPART values
And you wan two output to be generated (1 for each concatenated value of KUNNR, VTWEG and SPART). Is this right??
If yes then use the node function useoneasmany with KUNNR, so that KUNNR get repeated twice(one for each value of VTWEG and SPART)
Your mappign shoudl be like this
KUNNR --------------------------------|
VTWEG (context line)----------------| useoneasmany---------------------------------------| concat -----------------------------------| concat
VTWEG( do not change context) --| VTWEG( do not change context) --| SPART do not change context) --|
