Problem searching non-string values within property bundles

Platform: Windows NT 4.00.1381
Ifs version: 1.1
The documents I want to search on have an associated property bundle containing properties of type String, Integer, Date...
A. OK: When I search on a property of type String, correct documents are returned successfully.
B. OK: When I search on a property of type Integer, but specifying a String as query value, no documents are returned, as expected.
C. BAD: When I search on a property of type Integer, specifying an Integer as query value, an exception is thrown, describing that the SQL query is invalid because of a missing right parenthesis.
Here is the exception stack trace, with Verbose set to ON:
oracle.ifs.common.IfsException: IFS-22012: Search failed. Invalid query may have been specified

PropertyBundle pb = po.getPropertyBundle();
if (pb != null)
Property[] props = pb.getProperties();

else

search.close();
Any help would be greatly appreciated...

Hi Mathieu,
Looks like this is a bug. Here's why
you are getting the exception.
Search API generates SQL based on your
search constructs. It uses the LibrarySession's Localizer to get String
representations of values in the search.
In this case, after converting 1234 to
string, it ended up with 1,234 which is
confusing the SQL parser.
I will look into what we need to do this.
In the meanwhile, there is a workaround.
If you can set the NumberFormat on
LibrarySession's Localizer object to
setGroupingUsed(false) and that should make
your searches work.
Try by inserting this code prior to
running the search.
LibrarySession sess;
Localizer loc = sess.getLocalizer();
NumberFormat nf = loc.getNumberFormatter();
nf.setGroupingUsed(false);
loc.setNumberFormatter(nf);
I have not tested the side effects of doing
this on other parts of iFS. You could
do the reverse to reset the NumberFormat
right after the search, so that these
changes do not affect other aspects of
iFS.
Let me know if this helps your search run.
Thanks for finding an interesting issue.

How to search for a value within a tolerance in an array?

I am trying to search in an array for a value of say 10 plus or minus 2. In other words, I want a value of true if there is any value in the array between 8 and 12.

canadian;
LabVIEW includes with a VI called In Range and Coerce. You can test the value using that VI.
I also created a VI for exactly that. You can download it from here:
http://www.jyestudio.com/lview.shtml
It is called Search 1D array using conditions. Let me know if it is useful. Even more efficient, you can look at the code of that VI and then extract the functionality you want for your application.

Performing ldapsearch filtered by non-string value

Hi all.
I'm using OID as my central users repository.
I know how to perform ldapsearches with filters like (cn=*) and (objectclass=*)
In OID there is an attribute of type binary called orclobjectsid.
When I'm trying to perform search with filter (orclobjectsid=*), I'm receiving the following error:
Unable to search LDAP [[LDAP: error code 53 - Function Not Implemented]]
What am I doing wrong?

Check If attribute is indexed. If not,index an attribute using catalog.sh.

LAG & LEAD functions... Any Way to Retrieve the 1st non-NULL Values?

My question is this... Has anyone found an elegant way of getting the LAG & LEAD functions to move to the 1st NON-NULL value within the partition, rather than simply using a hard-coded offset value?
Here's some test data...
IF OBJECT_ID('tempdb..#temp') IS NOT NULL DROP TABLE #temp
CREATE TABLE #temp (
BranchID INT NOT NULL,
RandomValue INT NULL,
TransactionDate DATETIME
PRIMARY KEY (BranchID, TransactionDate)
INSERT #temp (BranchID,RandomValue,TransactionDate) VALUES
(339,6, '20060111 00:55:55'),
(339,NULL, '20070926 23:32:00'),
(339,NULL, '20101222 10:51:35'),
(339,NULL, '20101222 10:51:37'),
(339,1, '20101222 10:52:00'),
(339,1, '20120816 12:02:00'),
(339,1, '20121010 10:36:00'),
(339,NULL, '20121023 10:47:53'),
(339,NULL, '20121023 10:48:08'),
(339,1, '20121023 10:49:00'),
(350,1, '20060111 00:55:55'),
(350,NULL, '20070926 23:31:06'),
(350,NULL, '20080401 16:34:54'),
(350,NULL, '20080528 15:06:39'),
(350,NULL, '20100419 11:05:49'),
(350,NULL, '20120315 08:51:00'),
(350,NULL, '20120720 11:48:35'),
(350,1, '20120720 14:48:00'),
(350,NULL, '20121207 08:10:14')
What I'm trying to accomplish... In this instance, I'm trying to populate the NULL values with the 1st non-null preceding value.
The LAG function works well when there's only a single null value in a sequence but doesn't do the job if there's more than a singe NULL in the sequence.
For example ...
SELECT
t.BranchID,
t.RandomValue,
t.TransactionDate,
COALESCE(t.RandomValue, LAG(t.RandomValue, 1) OVER (PARTITION BY t.BranchID ORDER BY t.TransactionDate)) AS LagValue
FROM
#temp t
Please note that I am aware of several methods of accomplishing this particular task, including self joins, CTEs and smearing with variables.
So, I'm not looking for alternative way of accomplishing the task... I'm wanting to know if it's possible to do this with the LAG function.
Thanks in advance,
Jason

I just wanted to provide a little follow-up now that I had a little time to check up and digest Itzik’s article and tested the code posed by Jingyang.
Turns out the code posted by Jingyang didn’t actually produce the desired results but it did get me pointed in the right direction (partially my fault for crappy test data that didn’t lend itself to easy verification). That said, I did want to post the version
of the code that does produce the correct results.
IF OBJECT_ID('tempdb..#temp') IS NOT NULL DROP TABLE #temp

) AS RandomValueNew
FROM
#temp AS t
In reality, this isn’t exactly a true answer to the original question regarding the LAG & LEAD functions, being that it uses the MAX function instead, but who cares? It still uses a windowed function to solve the problem with a single pass at the data.
I also did a little additional testing to see if casting to BINARY(4) worked across the board with a variety of data types or if the number needed to be adjusted based the data… Here’s one of my test scripts…
IF OBJECT_ID('tempdb..#temp') IS NOT NULL DROP TABLE #temp

Looks like BINARY(4) is just fine for any INT or DATE/DATETIME values. Bumping it up to 8 was need to capture the largest BIGINT value. For text strings, the number simply needs to be set to the column size. I tested up to 255 characters without a problem.
It’s not included here, but I did notice that the NUMERIC data type doesn’t work at all. From what I can tell, SS doesn't like casting the binary value back to NUMERIC (I didn't test DECIMAL).
Thanks again,

Help to search for a string value and return the index in the arraylist

Hello,
I just start java programming for the last three weeks and I cannot find a solution for this problem. I have the following List with string and integer value as shown below:
List<Empl> list= new ArrayList<Empl>();
     list.add(new Empl(1,"Jim", "Balu",88);
     list.add(new Empl(3,"Bob", "Howards",2);
     list.add(new Empl(2,"Chris", "Hup",8);
I have no problem of sorting this arraylist either by firstname or lastname. However, I cannot think of a way to search for a firstname or lastname and returing the whole row. I do not want to use index since I am asking user to enter the name to search. Here is my code to search for an empl based on index.
System.out.print("Please enter index to search or (q)uit: ");
          String ans = sc.next();
          System.out.println();
          int ians = Integer(ans);
          if (ans.equalsIgnoreCase("q"))
                    choice = "n";
          else
          System.out.println("index " + list.get(ians)); //this will print out the whole row based on the index
Since the user will never seen the contents of the arraylist, is there a way that I can search by string last/first name and will get the index location in int if the result is met?
Please advice and thank you.
Bob.

Empl e = new Empl(1,"Jim", "Balu",88);
list.add(e);
firstNames.add(e.firstName());As long as you always add them in the same order, the indexes will match, so you could do something like
ians = firstNames.indexOf(nameToFind);to return the index of the name, if it's there (if not, it will return -1).
I wouldn't recommend this as standard practise, but it should be OK for the level you're at.
NOTE: indexOf() returns the index of the FIRST matching item. You may want to think about what you want to do if there are more than 1.

How to solve sync problem between Outlook calendar and iPhone when reminder is set to _some_ non-standard values?

Hi,
I am having a sync problem between my iPhone/iPad and Outlook calendar events (Outlook 2010).
Here is the description of the problem:
1. In Outlook - please create a new event/appointment (e.g. "Test").
2. Reminder is set by default to 15 minutes. You can change it by using a dropdown menu - please select: "0,5 days".
3. Click on "0,5 days" and change it manually to "14,5 days".
4. Click on "Save & Close".
5. (Do not snooze or dismiss the reminder.)
6. Sync with your iPhone/iPad.
7. Open this new event on iPhone/iPad - you can see that alert is set to "15 minutes before" instead to a correct value that was set in Outlook.
The same problem can be seen if you set the reminder to e.g. "3 weeks" (standard value is "2 weeks").
However, it is interesting that non-standard values like "1,5 days" (and all other until "13,5 days") are synced without any problem.
Does anyone have a solution how to solve this problem (different than the trivial solution of not using those strange values)?
Thanks!

Thanks to another post (https://discussions.apple.com/message/17501071#17501071) I reset the sync history, here is what to do:
Launch iTunes.
Before you hook up your iPhone to the PC and iTunes do this: Go to iTunes Edit menu > Preferences… > select the iPhone > click the Reset Synch History button > click OK.
Connect the iPhone to the PC and let iTunes recognize it.
In the top right corner is the iPhone icon, click on the left side of the iPhone icon > the iPhone menu launches.
In the menu along the top click on Info > make your selections > click Sync button > it gives you a dialog at the top with the steps it’s going through during the sync.
In the top left of the iTunes app > click Exit.

Searching for a substring within a string

can someone reccomend a simple way to search for a substring within a string and count the number occurences of that substring.
The substring and the string will be provided as command line parameters.
Thanks

A simple way would be to use the indexOf methods in String:

Not sure what this has to do with event handling though :-P

Problem to get max string value

Hi
my problem is i don't get correct result when i get max string value from my table. for example, it returns '9' as max value while i have some bigger string values like 73, 80,65, ...
i found
some solutions to handle this problem (like converting to char or adding some zero in the begining of my value) but it does not appropriate for my situation because my string value maybe everything (some of my customers can use numbers while some other
else can use alphabetical+numbers)!.
can anybody help me ?
thanks in advance

When I see NVARCHAR(50)(50) I am pretty sure the data was declared by an ACCESS programmer who has no idea what he is doing. Do you really have first
and last names that need fifty UNICODE characters ? You will get them! If you invite garbage data, it will come. The USPS uses VARCHAR(20) for names; this has to do with the size of mailing labels and the fact
that Latin-1 is required by ISO in ALL languages.
lease read the "Stairway to Data" series and pay attention to last sections on the design of encoding schemes. What you have is useless and dangerous because it has no data integrity. Tag
numbers (learn what that means, please) need a regular expression and I like to have a check digit. My first guess, without an specs is that you need something like this:
patient _case_nbr CHAR() NOT NULL PRIMARY KEY
CHECK (patient _case_nbr
LIKE '[ ABC][0-9][0-9][0-9][0-9][0-9]')
Fixed length for the forms and display, characters limtied to the Latin-1 Unicode set, and easy to sort.

Problem with prepared statement where cluase when passing string value.Help

I am updating a table using the following code. I am using string parameter in where clause. if I use Long parameter in where clause with ps.setLong , this code is working. Is there any special way to pass string value? Am I doing anything wrong?
===================
updateMPSQL.append("UPDATE MP_Table SET ");
     updateMPSQL.append("MPRqmt = ?,End_Dt = ? ");
          updateMPSQL.append("where POS = ? ");
          System.out.println(updateMPSQL.toString());
          con     = getConnection(false) ;
          ps      = con.prepareStatement(updateMPSQL.toString());
          ps.setLong(1,MPB.getMPRqmt());
          ps.setDate(2,MPB.getEnd_Dt());
          ps.setString(3,MPB.getPos());
result = ps.execute();
          System.out.println("Result : " + result);
==========
Please help me.
Thanks in advance.

doesn't Pos look like a number rather than a string variable?
if I use Long
parameter in where clause with ps.setLong , this code
is working.
updateMPSQL.append("where POS = ? ");
ps.setString(3,MPB.getPos());

Problems converting string value to database timestamp

I have values coming from a flat file in the form YYYYMM. I need to convert this value to a database timestamp. The reason for this is, furhter down in the flow, I need to bump this value up against a database table column in the form of YYYYMMDD HH:MM:SS.
The first thing I do is tack on a day to the value so I have a string value in the form of YYYYMMDD. Once this is done, I then try to pass the value to a data conversion transformation. A sample value looks like this:
20140801
When I try to conver the string to DT_DBTIMESTAMP, I get:
"The conversion returned status value 2 and status text "The value could not be converted because of a potential loss of data.".
I don't get it. The string is length 50. What am I missing?

Had to break apart the source.
SUBSTRING([Paid Period],1,4) + "-" + SUBSTRING([Paid Period],5,2) + "-01 " + "00:00:00.000"

How to pass dynamically generated string value as array name in TestStand?

Hi All,
I have a string variable which holds an array name as its value. The string value is a dynamically generated one. Now my problem is how to retrieve the values within the array where as the array name is stored in a string variable.
for eg:
fileglobals.InfoName = "Array_Name" --> fileglobals.InfoName is a string variable, Array_Name is the array name generated dynamically and it is known only at run-time.
Array_Name[0] = "a";
Array_Name[1] = "b";
Array_Name[2] = "c";
In the above case, I have to retrieve the values of a, b and c
Any help is greatly appreciated
Thanks

Hi,
Looking at your sequencefile.
You seem to be trying to save into FlieGlobals.InfoName a string with the values of "FileGlobals.Info_0".."FileGlobals.Info_n" where n is the value of Parameter.TestSocket.Index.
Then you are setting the value into FileGlobals.TempName from "StationGlobals.FileGlobals.Info_0" assuming Parameter.TestSocket.Index is 0.
Is this correct?
I realise this is a cutdown sequence file but you must make sure These variable actually exist in either FileGlobals or StationGlobals. Also with FileGlobals each SequenceFile has its own FileGlobals unless you have set the properties of the SequencFile to use a common FileGlobals.
What was the precise error you was seeing as it will properly telling you what variable of property it can't find.

String value changes single quote ' to double quote "

I am creating a list with different bill codes within single
quotes as follows
<cfset corlist = " '1100 ','1200 ','1300 ','1700 ','1800
','1950 ','7001 ' ">
when I do an output
for
<cfoutput>AND idbillcode IN ( #corlist
#)</cfoutput>
I get the values as follows
AND idbillcode IN ( '1100 ','1200 ','1300 ','1700 ','1800
','1950 ','7001 ')
However when I put the same string within a cfquery the
single quotes get replaced by double quotes as follows
AND idbillcode IN ( ''1100 '',''1200 '',''1300 '',''1700
'',''1800 '',''1950 '',''7001 '') which throws an error.
Anybody has any clues.
Thanks.

That is ColdFusion escaping the single quotes, by doubling
them so that
you can search for strings such as "singhpk's code does not
work".
(Note the single quote/apostrophe that would normally break
this string
if it was not escaped.
To tell CF not to do this, one uses the
preserveSingleQuotes() function.
The documentation has all the details.
