Populating Ranks in table through OWB

I am having trouble using DENSE_RANK in OWB (I am running the mapping in set-based mode).
I want to select data from one table, rank the rows, then insert the rows with the rank into another table. But I get an error when I validate the expression and the mapping fails when I try to execute it.
When trying to validate the expression, I receive this error:
Line 1, Col 14:
PLS-00103: Encountered the symbol "OVER" when expecting one of the following:
. ( * % & = - + ; < / > at in is mod not rem
<an exponent (**)> <> or != or ~= >= <= <> and or like
between ||
The expression looks like this...
DENSE_RANK() OVER (PARTITION BY INGRP1.CUSTOMER_ID
ORDER BY INGRP1.SEQ)
When I generate the intermediate result and run it in SQL Plus, it runs without errors.
How can I use RANK in an expression and insert the rank into a table in OWB?
Thanks!

Sorry, the Rank and other analytical functions syntax is not currently supported. It has to do with the fact that analytic functions are SQL only, they are not valid in the PL/SQL environment. Today, if you put an analytical function into an expression, ignore the validation error and force the map to run in set-based mode, OWB will generate the correct SQL statement. But it unfortunately will be not deployable. The next release of OWB removes this limitation.
Until then, the workaround is to use the analytical functions in views that serve as sources to OWB maps.

Simple Delete of records of a table through OWB.

Hi,
I wanted to run a simple delete based on a filter through OWB Release 1, how can this be implemented? Any help will be appreciated.

Ola,
One of the loading types in a target table is 'DELETE'. This option can be used in a mapping to delete data from a certain table...
Create the mapping according the specs (conditions where you want to delete data). Set the loading type to delete and run the mapping. And you're done!
Keep in mind that data you delete from a table is completely gone. Sometimes - especially from a data warehouse point of view - it is not wise or allowed to delete the data. Instead of removing the records you could also add a column which indicates wether the record is valid or not. We call this column 'Indicator_Logical_Deleted' and load the values 0 and 1.

Hi
Please follow below steps for creating module(repository owner) and
1. login design center thru repository owner ( start--> Oracle - OUIHome1 --> Warehouse Builder -- Design Center)
2. Under your project (Ex : MY_PROJECT) , create new module and crete new location and register that location
Note : enter repository owner user and password
3. Expand your repostory owner module and expand transformations and right click and select import
now follow my eariler steps :
2. Import WB_XML_LOAD procedure . and exit to repository owner.
3. connect to owb design center through your repository user (ex : REP_USER)
Create New mapping and drag one Constant Operator and create one attribute, paste / edit following code
'<OWBXMLRuntime>'||
'<XMLSource>'||
'<file>E:\SOURCE\emp.xml</file>'||
'</XMLSource>'||
'<targets>'||
'<target truncateFirst = "FALSE" dateFormat="yyyy.MM.dd">rep_user.emp</target>'||
'</targets>'||
'</OWBXMLRuntime>'
4. Drag pre mapping operator and select WB_XML_LOAD procedure
5. Connect Constant Operator attribute to pre mapping operator.
6. Drag two dummy tables and connect source to target. (ex : drag t1 (table) tab two times and connect.
7. Validate and deploy the mapping.
8. grant necessary grant command to rep_owner user to rep_user user.
(Note : target truncateFirst = "FALSE" by default truncate the table. So you have to give grant privileges
To rep_user , select ,insert, delete privileges.
9. Execute the mapping , and check EMP table. (Note : before loading EMP table delete all records ).

Can we change table into XML through OWB

Hi everyone,
Is it possible to change table into XML through OWB?
Can anybody help me.
just send me the steps to do
Thanks in advance
Rachit

Hello, Rachit
As far as I understand our question you need to export data from the table into XML file.
I dont think you have direct operator within OWB (at least for ver. 9.2.0.4). But anyway, you could write PLSQL procedure using DBMS_XMLQUERY to perform XML generation and transform it with your stylesheet.
Unfortunately, this package uses DOM to work with XML, so could have a serious memory consumption while trying to export large tables this way.

Inserting Record In same table through triggers.

Hi,
I've a table cus_mst ( cus_div_cd vachar2(1), cus_cd varchar2(5), cus_nm varchar2(100) )
Records are inserted in this table through forms ...
We need to automatically insert a record with a diff div_cd for any record inserted in the table .
If div_cd 'I' is entered automatically a record with div cd 'S' with other coulmns having same values should get inserted .
In case div_cd is 'S' then record with div_cd 'I' should get created.
Eg : If in insert ( 'S', 'A0001', 'ABC COmpany' ); another record with values ( 'I', 'A0001', 'ABC Comapny' ) gets created;
One way to do is to insert records in a view ( on the table ) and use instead of trigger to insert the corresponding record. But that is not possible as development team has to change form and use view instead of table.
Have tried doing it by populating a collection in-each-row trigger and then using statment level trigger to insert from the collection. But this leads to recursive error.
Would be great to get more insights into this..
thanks
cheers

Stuck on using an External Table in OWB 11.

I am using Oracle 11, and OWB 11.
I am trying to get some information from a CSV file, into an Oracle table. Here is what I have currently done:
1. I have setup a location called CSV_FILE and this is pointing to my local drive in a folder called c:\CSV
2. I have added the file to the Files tab, imported the metadata and the file is called Export_WithHeaders_CSV.csv
3. I have setup a new external table called CSV and pointed it to the above File and set the default llocation to CSV_FILE
4. I then right clicked on the external table and created the Data File pointing it to the CSV_FILE, and filling in the Data File Name with: Export_WithHeaders_CSV.csv
I am trying to do 2 things, the first is to just view the data in the external table through Design Center, and the 2nd is too add it to an OWB map to import into an Oracle Database. When I try to view the data (Right click on CSV, and select Data) I get the following error:
ORA-29913: error in exectuing
ODCIEXTTABLEOPEN callout
ORA-29400: data cartridge error
KUP-04040: file
Export_WithHeaders.csv in
CSV_FILE not found
I am able to generate and validate the external table without an erro, but I am not able to see any data, and I know the file contains close to 120 records?
When I bring the external table into a simple OWB map, just mapping it directly to a table, the map validates fine, but when I run the map, the test data shows a row_count of 0? I have been beating my head against the wall for a good 2.5 days now, and any help would be greatly appreciated....

Hi,
This problem may be due to several reasons. I am aware of few reasons.
1)Have you deployed the external table first?
2) If you do not have your data base client and server running in the same machine, you should place the csv file in the database server machine's 'c:\CSV' folder in order to create the external table through database. Then do a select count(*) statement.
3)Another reason may be as gerardnico said the file name you refered may be wrong.
I don't know your requirement. If you could create the external table succefully and if you get value for the select count(*) from <external_table_name>, then try to import the external table into the Design Center and map it with the Table you need.
If you are doing it purely with OWB then,
Do you have the file Export_WithHeaders.csv in the Server machine's 'c:\CSV_FILE' folder?
Because while importing the metadata of the CSV file the OWB will point to your local machine's 'c:\CSV_FILE' that is why your Validation and Deployment is success without errors.
But while executing the map it will take the data from Server machine. It will search for the Location 'c:\CSV_FILE' in the server machine and will look for the file Export_WithHeaders.csv there. So create athe same folder setup which you have in your client machine and run this again.
Try this if you do not get any better answers in this thread

How to take snapshots of data in a table via OWB

Hi Gurus,
We have a requirement of taking a snapshot of the data in a table every week,which will later be used in a report for weekly comparisions.
How can we achive this through OWB.
Is it somehow related to Materialised views?
Could you please guide me how to go ahead.
Thanks

I would reckon that is what is required. you need to build materialized view and refresh it once a week and this refresh can be scheduled thorugh owb or db directly.

The same code to insert / update the exact same table in local instance works fine.No any binding problem. So i am pretty sure all ? mark in SQL are set with some value before sending to Oracle.
Someone please advise what is possible problem. Db link is not set correctly? or we can not update remote table by dblink.
By the way i can do insert / update from TOAD to the remote table through DBLINK. Problem happens only in Java code.
thanks!
Gary

dblink links from one database instance to another.
So it is certainly a source of possible problems when it works on one database and not another.
You should start by looking at the dblink and it possible testing it in the database not via java.
Note as well that that error suggests that it is coming from the Oracle database. I believe if you had a bind parameter problem in your java code that the error would come from the driver. But that is a guess on my part.

Adding data into a custom table through a report transaction

Is it possible to add data into a table through a report transaction. I have been asked to create a report in which when we add certain data in the selkection screen it updates thoses particular fields and the rest of the records can be fille dout in the output. Basically I have a customised allocation table called zalloc. I have to create a report with selection screen having receiving plant, material document of the original transfer psoting , issuning plant , line item number , batch, receiving and issuning storage location. I need to validate this against the mseg table and whatever entry I make in teh selection screen should update my zalloc table from here.
Can anyone help me with this please.
Thanks

Hi Aarav,
Yes, It is possible to add records to a table using a report transaction. You can use Update or Modify to insert records in a table.Convert the data fetched from the ZALLOC and convert it into an internal table of the same format as that of the ZALLOC table and simply do an
loop at itab_zalloc into wa_zalloc.
*INSERT INTO ZALLOC FROM WA_zalloc*.
endloop.
OR
INSERT ZALLOC FROM TABLE ITAB_ZALLOC
OR
UPDATE ZALLOC FROM TABLE ITAB__ZALLOC .
Update will modify if that record exist and returns sy-subrc as non zero if entry does not exist.
OR
MODIFY updates an existing DB entry or, in no matching entry exists, inserts a new entry into the DB table

XREF3 field not getting populated in BSEG table while posting MIRO

Hi,
1.- According to SAP Note 904652 - MIRO: Different from FB60
https://service.sap.com/sap/support/notes/904652
MIRO is an independent Materials Management (MM) transaction that does not
claim to be the same as the accounting transactions (such as FB60 or FB01).
MIRO was developed to allow users to process vendor invoices within the
context of the MM procurement processes as simply as possible.
For this reason, among other differences, the field selection was limited
to the absolutely necessary. For example, the following fields from the
accounting document are not available in Transaction MIRO (this list is not
complete):
Reference key (BSEG-XREF1, -XREF 2, -XREF 3)
2.- SAP Note 1156325 - BAdIs in the Logistics Invoice Verification environment
https://service.sap.com/sap/support/notes/1156325
Have a look at badi MRM_ITEM_CUSTFIELDS.
This badi will create a new tab at item level in order to display the new fields.
I haven´t used this badi so i cannot talk from experience here.
Think twice before deciding.
Best regards.

Is it possible to upload few column in table through Apex Data Loading

Hi All,
I have to do upload into the table through a csv file . The table's primary key i have to load the rest through user's uploaded file. Is it possible to do the data loading to the table only to required columns and fill the other columns from backend. Or is there any other way to do this?

Hi,
Your query is not really clear.
>

How do you plan to "link" the rows from these 2 sets of data in the "backend"? There has to be a way to have a relation between them.

ORA-01776: cannot modify more than one base table through a join view

I have created EO based on a database view than consists of two tables, and only one is updateable.
When I try to update a row using EO, I got a following message: "ORA-01776-cannot modify more than one base table through a join view"
In Forms, this issue is resolved by setting "Query Only" property of non-updateable items to "True".
Is it possible to do something like that in ADF BC?
Thanks

Thanks for answer.
When I set "updateable" property to "Never", that attribute is protected from any change.
I'm sorry for incomplete usecase.
I have set up a list of value on that attribute, because it is a lookup field for another table and I need to get an ID from that table.
Basically, I need that attribute to be updateble for BC, but not for database.

Cannot modify more than one base table through a join view

hi guys, my current problem is that i have a datablock based on a view, now all the fields bar 1 are updateable, but this one field that is obtained through a join is displayed, the user can enter data in this field which then pupulates other fields which are required, but this specific field should not be updated. Is there an option to state this as i keep getting the error:
cannot modify more than one base table through a join view
Any help would be greatly appreciated, thanks.

the user can enter data in this field which then pupulates other fields So, using the value of "this field" you then query the rest of the fields? Can you show us the code you use to populate the rest of the fields?
but this specific field should not be updatedHave you tried setting the "Query Only" property of the field to "Yes" and the other DML properties (Ins, Upd, Del) to No?
Also, what is your Forms version?
Thanks,
Craig B-)
