Passing a CLOB as input parameter

Can someone help me pass a CLOB to a stored procedure in oracle:
begin
-- Call the procedure
A(p_ccn => :p_ccn,
p_xml => :p_xml,
p_out_err_status => :p_out_err_status,
p_out_err_msg => :p_out_err_msg);
end;
Here p_xml is a CLOB.
If I have to run procedure A from SQL*PLUS how do I execute this? When I enter the xml as a string I get this error
ORA-01405: fetched column value is NULL
Please help

CREATE OR REPLACE PROCEDURE A ( p_clob CLOB ) IS
BEGIN
DBMS_OUTPUT.PUT_LINE(TO_CHAR(DBMS_LOB.GETLENGTH(p_clob)));
END;
Procedure created.
SET SERVEROUT ON
EXEC A ( 'XYZ');

Calling a stored procedure with a CLOB as input parameter

Hello,
I was unsuccessfully trying to call a stored procedure with a clob as input parameter from my C++ application using occi.
Anyone got a working example to look at?
I already checked the thread Invalid OCI handle when creating a Blob which didn't help.
The problem seems to be that I don't have a lob locator to write my data (xml file) to. I tried creating a temporary clob using the sys.dbms_lob package which only resulted in a major headache on my part...
I would appreciate any help.
Kind regards
Horst
my environment:
Visual Studio 2008, C++ application
Oracle 11g

To start using a blob you have to insert it into the database and then get it back. Sounds weird but that is how it is. Here is a very simple program to do this:
#include<occi.h>
#include <iostream>
using namespace oracle::occi;
using namespace std;
int main()
try
    Environment *env = Environment::createEnvironment(Environment::OBJECT);
    Connection *conn = env->createConnection("hr","hr","");
    string stmt1 = "insert into blob_tab values (:1) ";
    string stmt2 = "select col1 from blob_tab";
    Blob blob(conn);
    blob.setEmpty(conn);
    Statement *stmtObj = conn->createStatement(stmt1);
    stmtObj->setBlob(1,blob);
    stmtObj->executeUpdate();
    conn->commit();
    Blob blob1(conn);
    Statement *stmtObj2 = conn->createStatement(stmt2);
    ResultSet *rs = stmtObj2->executeQuery();
    while(rs->next())
     blob1 = rs->getBlob(1);
    string stmt3 = "begin my_proc(:1) ;end;";
    Statement *stmtObj3 = conn->createStatement(stmt3);
    stmtObj3->setBlob(1,blob1);
    stmtObj3->executeUpdate();
catch (SQLException e)
    cout << e.getMessage();
/* The tables and procedure are primitive but ok for demo
    create table blob_tab(col1 blob);
    create or replace procedure my_proc(arg in blob)
    as
    begin
     -- just a putline here. you can do other more meaningful operations with the blob here
      dbms_output.put_line('hello');
   end;
}Hope this helps.
Thanks,
Sumit

MII BLS Trasaction calling SAP RFC call - How to pass XML document as input parameter

Hi,
1. I am very new to the SAP and SAP xMII workbench.
I have a webpage with iGrid applet embedded on it. We have multiple rows in the iGrid applet that can be selected by user.
After selecting single or multiple grid rows user clicking a 'button' on the web page.
We are using iCommand applet (ExacuteQuery] to call the BLS transaction.
Using iCommand applet on the webpage we are passing parameters to BLS Transaction.
Would like to pass on the single/ multiple selected grid row values as a XML document to BLS Transaction variable which is an Input parameter for SAP RFC call.
I am using SAP JCo Session to make the RFC call.
Any pointers will be helpful.
2. Which is a best track in SAP training courses to get formal training.
Thanks,
Senthil

Hi Senthil,
What version of MII (or xMII) are you working with? There are some examples of this type of transaction in the wiki which you may want to download and take a look at.

Pass a datarow as input parameter in a stored procedure

Hi everyone!
I wonder if anyone know how to pass a datarow (better if tipized like "tablenameRow") as input parameter for a stored procedure.
links or suggestions are welcome! (i'm newbie in .net programming, so if you can post some code i'll be really grateful!)
Thank you!

Hi,
YES!! its possible you can pass a datarow to a SP from your Dot net application.
Here below i'm going to give you an example for Desktop Application.
For Passing a datarow as Input Parameters, your SP need to support for all these parameters.
I mean, if a data row has 03 Columns. Then your procedure should be able to take 03 arguments/parameters.
--Adjust code according to your need.
--Its for C# Desktop application.
--Visual Studio Professional, Framework (2.0)
//Setting connections.
OracleConnection con=new OracleConnection("Data Source=orcl9i; user id=scott; password=tiger");
OracleComand cmd=new OracleCommand(con);
cmd.Type=CommandType.StoredProcedure; //you are useing SP
cmd.Text="my_stored_procedure"; //Mention SP name.
--if DataRow has Three columns. You need three parameters.
OracleParameter p1=new OracleParameter ();//By default parameters are input parameters.
OracleParameter p2=new OracleParameter ();
OracleParameter p3=new OracleParameter ();
//We assume that Datarow already has data in it.
p1.ParametersName="sp_var1 ";
p1.OracleDbType=OracleDbType.Varchar;
p1.Value=tablenameRow[1]; //Here DataRow object's Column1 is input.
p2.ParametersName="sp_var2 ";
p2.OracleDbType=OracleDbType.Varchar;
p2.Value=tablenameRow[2]; //Here DataRow object's Column2 is input.
p3.ParametersName="sp_var3 ";
p3.OracleDbType=OracleDbType.Varchar;
p3.Value=tablenameRow[3]; //Here DataRow object's Column3 is input.
cmd.OracleParameter.Add(p1); //Add parameters.
cmd.OracleParameter.Add(p2); //Add parameters.
cmd.OracleParameter.Add(p3); //Add parameters.
cmd.ExecuteNonQuery(); //Execute Procedure here.
Feel free to ask if still found problem.

How do I properly pass values into an input parameter form and app module?

Using JDeveloper 11.1.1.4
I created an application module that calls a PL/SQL procedure that uses input parameters. I exposed this to the data control and dropped the object on a jsff as a input parameter form. I need to set some of the input parameters on this form from values gathered and stored in a pageFlowScope bean. What is the proper way so that the values will: 1. show on the form, and 2. get to the java code in the application module that calls my procedure? An example field from my form is:
        <af:inputText value="#{bindings.pPayerId.inputValue}" label="Payer ID"
                      required="#{bindings.pPayerId.hints.mandatory}"
                      columns="#{bindings.pPayerId.hints.displayWidth}"
                      maximumLength="#{bindings.pPayerId.hints.precision}"
                      shortDesc="#{bindings.pPayerId.hints.tooltip}" id="it8">
          <f:validator binding="#{bindings.pPayerId.validator}"/>
          <af:convertNumber groupingUsed="false" pattern="#{bindings.pPayerId.format}"/>
        </af:inputText>Thanks,
Troy

Thanks Shay for pointing me in that direction.
I didn't find the NDValue in the bindings, so I went to the pagedef xml and found it there. Changing the NDValue successfully delivered the value to the app module when the method was executed, but didn't show the value on the form. I had to add the same #{pageFlowScope.paramsBean.fileFormatParam} to the value of the input field and it now is working as needed.

Pass context variables to input parameter

Hello,
I want to pass context parameters to a service call.
If you read the context parameters, they are aways declared of type wd_this->element_<context-name>
If I pass the context paramter to the service call, I get a type mismatch error.
So how could I pass context parameters to a service call without binding it, because the ui-element is already bound to another context element.
Regards Christian

Hello,
I've solved the problem.
The parameter of the service call was a table parameter.
I've forgotten to check the table-operation checkbox at the wizard.

Need to pass field value as input parameter for a task

I have the following scenario:
User opens a task from UWL and sees a UI in which a Quote no. is generated, which is saved in the backend. Next time the user comes to this UI(from the same task in his UWL) he should see the Quote no. generated. Also, the data is fetched from backend by calling BAPI which takes the Quote no. as input, which was generated the first time user visited this UI.
My concern is how can I store this Quote no. in GP, which was generated the first time, so that user sees the data specific to quote no., as relevant for that task.
Please help.
Thanks and Regards
Aanchal

Hi Srinivasan,
Thanks for ur quick response.
I am explaining my issue further.
User comes to this UI (first time), Quote no. is generated. User fills some other fields( but does not complete whatever he has to) and saves the data to backend. Now user closes the window (task remains in his UWL), but now when he opens the task, he should see the Quote no. which was generated earlier and also data which he saved(by calling BAPI). How can I get this quote no.?
Can you please explain what you mean by "expose the quote no. at process level"?
Thanks and Regards
Aanchal

Calling PLSQL Procedure with CLOB input parameter from JDBC

Hi..
I've got a PLSQL procedure with a CLOB object as input parameter:
function saveProject (xmldoc CLOB) RETURN varchar IS
I want to call that procedure from my JDBC Application as...
String data = "..."
CallableStatement proc = conn.prepareCall
("begin ? := saveProject (?); end;");
neither
proc.setCharacterStream(2, new StringReader(data, data.length());
nor
proc.setString(2, data);
will work.
The Application throws java.sql.Exception: ... PLS-00306 wrong
number or types of arguments in call 'SAVEPROJECT'
How can I use set setClob method?
The Problem is: with Oracles CLOB implementation I can't create
an Instance, and from the CallableStatement a can't get a
Locator for a CLOB-Object.
This CLOB stuff makes me really nuts!
please somebody help me.. thanks
Alex

Hi All,
You can not make it like that.
You can not make clob as input parameter.
Do you want an easy way?
This is the easy way.
sample:
function myFunction(S varchar2(40))
return integer as
begin
insert into TableAAA values(S)
--TableAAA only contains 1 column of clob type
end;
This will work the problem with this is the parameter is in
varchar2 right? so there will be limited length for it.
You can do this to call that function:
nyFunction('My String that will be input into clob field');
There's another slight difficult way, I understand that you have
installed Oracle client/server in your system, try to look at
jdbc folder and try to find demo.zip in that folder, you can
find several ways of doing thing with jdbc.
Have a nice day,
Evan

How can I pass Recordsets as input parameter to a Function ?

Hi Gurus,
I want to create a function that receive recordsets as input parameter also returns recordsets as output.
I have a requirement to do stock taking for all order items of one Order number in one single query execution (to avoid row by row basis).
From the post in the forum I know that a function can return recordsets / query result using REF CURSOR or pipelined table function.
My question is : how to pass the recordsets as input parameter to that function ?
(because I could have 75 rows item in one order number)
Below is the DDL and the query :
create table stocks (Product char(4), Warehouse char(5), expireddate date, qty_available number)
insert into stocks values('P001', 'WH001', '01-dec-2006', 30)
insert into stocks values('P001', 'WH002', '01-dec-2006', 50)
insert into stocks values('P001', 'WH002', '01-jan-2007', 50 )
insert into stocks values('P001', 'WH001', '01-Mar-2007', 150)
insert into stocks values('P002', 'WH003', '01-dec-2006', 25)
insert into stocks values('P002', 'WH003', '15-Jan-2007', 50)
insert into stocks values('P002', 'WH003', '01-Mar-2007', 75)
insert into stocks values('P003', 'WH001', '01-dec-2006', 30)
insert into stocks values('P003', 'WH002', '15-Jan-2007', 40)
insert into stocks values('P003', 'WH003', '01-Mar-2007', 50)
CREATE TABLE Order_Detail (PRODUCT_ORD CHAR(4), QTY_ORD number, Priority_WH CHAR(5) )
INSERT INTO Order_Detail VALUES ('P001', 75, 'WH003') // previously 'WH002'
INSERT INTO Order_Detail VALUES ('P002', 45, 'WH002')
INSERT INTO Order_Detail VALUES ('P003', 55, NULL)
The query for stock taking :
select product,warehouse,expireddate, least(qty_available-(sm - qty_ord),qty_available) qty
from ( select product,warehouse,expireddate,qty_available,qty_ord, sum(qty_available) over(partition by product order by s.product,expireddate,decode(warehouse,priority_wh,0,1),warehouse ) sm
from stocks s,order_detail o
where s.product = o.product_ord order by s.product,expireddate,decode(warehouse,priority_wh,0,1) )
where (sm - qty_ord) < qty_available

Hi,
This my requirement :
I have (simplified)Order_Detail as below :
CREATE TABLE Order_Detail (PRODUCT_ORD CHAR(4), QTY_ORD number, Priority_WH CHAR(5) )
INSERT INTO Order_Detail VALUES ('P001', 75, 'WH003') // previously 'WH002'
INSERT INTO Order_Detail VALUES ('P002', 45, 'WH002')
INSERT INTO Order_Detail VALUES ('P003', 55, NULL)
Then I want to do stock taking from my STOCK table (described on my first post on this thread)
create table stocks (Product char(4), Warehouse char(5), expireddate date, qty_available number)
The rule is : The stok taking is on First In First Out basis, on expireddate.
And I want to do it in single query.
I want to make this a Function / Stored Procedure so that other transaction can also make use of this query.
That is why I need to pass the 3 rows oy mr Order_Detail above, do the query, and return the result.
Then INSERT the result into ORDER_DETAIL_PER_EXPIRED_DATE table.
I hope this clear my requirement, is this possible ?
Thank you,
xtanto

PL/SQL Input parameter

Beginning my quest to learn PL/SQL....
If you have a procedure which has an input statement which is define like the following...
i_MyField IN OPS_User.MyField%Type
I want this field to accept either NULL or a numeric value. If it is defined on OPS_User.MyField as being numeric and not null, can I still pass nulls to the input parameter?
Thanks for your assistance!!

Hello,
The %TYPE is used to define the type of the input parameter, it does not imply that Oracle will perform runtime check of your arguments.
Example
MANAG>SELECT version from v$instance;
VERSION
9.2.0.4.0
MANAG>
MANAG>CREATE TABLE TEST_IT_1ST
2 (
3 MY_FIELD VARCHAR2(12) NOT NULL
4 )
5 ;
Table created.
MANAG>
MANAG>
MANAG>INSERT INTO TEST_IT_1ST(MY_FIELD) VaLUES(NULL);
INSERT INTO TEST_IT_1ST(MY_FIELD) VaLUES(NULL)
ERROR at line 1:
ORA-01400: cannot insert NULL into ("OPS$RSTMANAG"."TEST_IT_1ST"."MY_FIELD")
MANAG>
MANAG>
MANAG>CREATE OR REPLACE PROCEDURE MY_TEST(MY_PARAM IN TEST_IT_1ST.MY_FIELD%TYPE) IS

5 /
Procedure created.
MANAG>
MANAG>EXECUTE MY_TEST(NULL);

MANAG>EXECUTE MY_TEST('More than twelve characters !');
More than twelve characters !
PL/SQL procedure successfully completed.

Passing multiple values to a single input parameter

Hi folks,
I have a Microstrategy query successfully passing input parameter to a calculation view. For example I can pass a movement type to a material movements calculation view input parameter. However if I try to pick more than one movement type the query then fails;
Generated SQL that works looks like this;
select
sum(a11.TOTALQUANTITY) WJXBFS1
from
"_SYS_BIC"."MyPackage/CA_TEST_PASS_PARAMETER"
('PLACEHOLDER' = ('$$MoveType$$', '101')
a11
When choosing more than one value in Microstrategy the SQL now fails and looks like this;
select
sum(a11.TOTALQUANTITY) WJXBFS1
from
"_SYS_BIC"."MyPackage/CA_TEST_PASS_PARAMETER"
('PLACEHOLDER' = ('$$MoveType$$', '101'),
'PLACEHOLDER' = ('$$MoveType$$', '103'))
a11
If I cut and paste the SQL and run directly in HANA studio the error is;
Could not execute 'select sum(a11.TOTALQUANTITY) WJXBFS1 from "_SYS_BIC"."MyPackage/CA_TEST_PASS_PARAMETER" ...' in 66 ms 361 µs .
SAP DBTech JDBC: [2048]: column store error: search parameter error: [2018] A received argument has an invalid value;TABLE/VIEW parameter: ( 'PLACEHOLDER'='$$MoveType$$, 103') not supported
Is it possible to pass multiple values in a single parameter? I'm using SP67 for this test.
Thanks,
-Patrick

Ravi, also to answer one of your questions about how this will work in Microstrategy; I just heard back from my Microstrategy developer and he is trying MSTR Freeform SQL query with syntax like this;
select (sumPAR_TEST.TOTALQUANTITY TOTALQUANTITY
from "_SYS_BIC"."MyPackage/CA_TEST_PASS_PARAMETER"
('PLACEHOLDER' =('$$MoveType$$', '[Movement Type]')) PAR_TEST
In this example [Movement Type] is the microstrategy prompt. Unfortunately though it translates like this which is missing extra single quotes around each value;
select     sum(PAR_TEST.TOTALQUANTITY) TOTALQUANTITY
from     "_SYS_BIC"."development.pr1959/CA_TEST_PASS_PARAMETER"
('PLACEHOLDER' = ('$$MoveType$$', ''101', '102''))   PAR_TEST
instead of what we need which is;
('PLACEHOLDER' = ('$$MoveType$$', '''101'', ''102'''))   PAR_TEST
So at this point we are not sure if this will be possible or not.

How can I pass dynamic value as a user input parameter in discoverer?

Hi,
I have a requirement for a discoverer report like this: The report will display only details for Suppliers that have expired (or soon to be) Insurance details. That is the Expiration Date is less than or equal to the day the report is being run plus any days specified in the Number of Days in the Future Parameter.
The sample code as:
SELECT s.segment1 vendor_number
,s.vendor_name
,flv1.meaning classification
,pca.certificate_number
,pca.certifying_agency
,pca.expiration_date
,flv2.meaning status
FROM ap_suppliers s
,pos_bus_class_attr pca
,fnd_lookup_values flv1
,fnd_lookup_values flv2
WHERE pca.vendor_id = s.vendor_id
AND flv1.lookup_code = pca.lookup_code
AND flv1.lookup_type = pca.lookup_type
AND flv2.lookup_code = pca.class_status
AND flv2.lookup_type = 'POS_BUS_CLASS_STATUSES'
AND pca.expiration_date <= trunc(sysdate) + <No. of Days in the Future>
order by pca.expiration_date asc
Now the parameter is Number of Days in the Future (Enter the number days in the future to extract the data. This will default to 0).
Is it possible in discoverer to do so as in query i do that like a condition as pca.expiration_date <= trunc(sysdate) + <No. of Days in the Future>.
How can I pass <No. of Days in the Future> as a user input parameter in discoverer?
Please help.

Hi,
All you need to do is to create the condition in the discoverer instead of in the query.
Create a custom folder containing the following sq (note that i removed the condition)l:
SELECT s.segment1 vendor_number
,s.vendor_name
,flv1.meaning classification
,pca.certificate_number
,pca.certifying_agency
,pca.expiration_date
,flv2.meaning status
FROM ap_suppliers s
,pos_bus_class_attr pca
,fnd_lookup_values flv1
,fnd_lookup_values flv2
WHERE pca.vendor_id = s.vendor_id
AND flv1.lookup_code = pca.lookup_code
AND flv1.lookup_type = pca.lookup_type
AND flv2.lookup_code = pca.class_status
AND flv2.lookup_type = 'POS_BUS_CLASS_STATUSES'
Then create a discoverer report using this folder using all fields.
Create a new calculation as (use this exact syntax):
Sysdate + :No_of_Days_in_the_Future
Create a new condition:
pca.expiration_date <= <your calculation>
To complete it add a sort as you did in the SQL.
That's it.

Passing the same input parameter twise in execute sql task

Hi All, I want to insert some values to 3 different tables in sql server. Execute sql task is used to populate three tables. Here is the sql statement.
DECLARE @Dt AS DATE
SET @Dt = ?
INSERT INTO TABLE1 SELECT ?, COL2, COL3 FROM TABLE_A
INSERT INTO TABLE2 SELECT ?, COL2, COL3 FROM TABLE_B
Input parameter is mapped as follows :
Variable name : User::EffectiveDate
Direction : Input Data Type :
Date Parameter name :0
Parameter size :-1
User::EffectiveDate is datetime variable.
When the package is executed, it throws an error.
[Execute SQL Task] Error: Executing the query " " failed with the following error: "Multiple-step OLE DB operation generated errors. Check each OLE DB status value, if available. No work was done.". Possible failure reasons: Problems
with the query, "ResultSet" property not set correctly, parameters not set correctly, or connection not established correctly. I am not sure what I am doing wrong here. If anyone could point me to the right direction, I really appreciate.
Thanks
shamen

To expand on the other answers.
Your SQL command
DECLARE @Dt AS DATE
SET @Dt = ?
INSERT INTO TABLE1 SELECT ?, COL2, COL3 FROM TABLE_A
INSERT INTO TABLE2 SELECT ?, COL2, COL3 FROM TABLE_B
It using 3 input variables. I assume you didn't pass 3 variables and you want @DT to be column 1 in each. In that case you would use:
DECLARE @Dt AS DATE
SET @Dt = ?
INSERT INTO TABLE1 SELECT @Dt, COL2, COL3 FROM TABLE_A
INSERT INTO TABLE2 SELECT @Dt, COL2, COL3 FROM TABLE_B
