Problem with transformations involving excel source or destination

I am using SQL server 2008 R2.None of the transformations involving excel source or destination is working fine.What can be done?

Hi Sapna,
According to your description, you are
experiencing the issue that transformations involving excel source or destination is working fine, right?
It's hard to give you the exactly reason that cause this issue based on the limited information. Here are some articles that use Excel as the source or destination, please refer to the link below.

Problem with transforming coordinate systems

Hiho,
i've got a problem with transforming coordinate systems.
When I'm trying to transform a sdo_geometry object to another coordinate sytem and then back to the old system, the coordinates are not the same.
Here's an example:
StartSystem SRID is 8220 (Longitude / Latitude (DHDN))
TargetSystem SRID is 8307 (Longitude / Latitude (WGS84))
Original object:
Polygon: {ExteriorRing: LineString: { (0.0, -90.0) (1.5, 0.0) (0.0, 90.0) (4.5, 0.0) (0.0, -90.0)} }
Transformed object:
Polygon: {ExteriorRing: LineString: { (0.0, -5156.620156177403) (85.94366926962347, 0.0) (0.0, 5156.620156177403) (257.8310078088704, 0.0) (0.0, -5156.620156177403)} }
Transformed back to old system:
Polygon: {ExteriorRing: LineString: { (0.0, -5156.620156177403) (4924.209525017614, 0.0) (0.0, 5156.620156177403) (14772.628575052844, 0.0) (0.0, -5156.620156177403)} }
Any ideas what to do?
Thanks for the help in advance.

Hi Dirk
Since the transform you are trying to do is just a datum conversion of lat./long. coordinates, even the first transform yields obvious rubbish. What you have provided here does not illustrate how you submitted your polygon to CS_TRANSFORM.
Provide the syntax of your construction of the corresponding SDO_GEOMETRY object and your SQL select statement that gave these results.

Problem with sorting involving user defined types and reports

Hello!
I have a problem with sorting involving Reports and user defined objet types.
I have created the following object types
CREATE TYPE type_balance_compte AS OBJECT
NUM_CPT_SEQ NUMBER(8)
,NUM_CPT VARCHAR2(35)
CREATE TYPE TB_type_balance_compte IS TABLE OF type_balance_compte
At the reports query I use:
SELECT ...
FROM table(cast(test_pkg.balance_comptes(:P_num_soc) as TB_type_balance_compte)) c
The procedure balance_comptes will retrieve data from various tables into the type.
The report is ordered by a certain string field that usually contains characters and numbers.
I need to have numbers always before characters, meaning the data should come in this order in the report for example:
0
1
A
B
So, before the report query, I have placed a call to DBMS_SESSION.SET_NLS( 'nls_sort', 'binary' ) to guarantee NLS_SORT in case it is originally set to FRENCH.
The problem here is that even after this call, I have the report ordered like this
A
B
0
1
And not the numbers before as it should be.
To try and find out where the problem was, I have created a table to use instead of the object type described above. In this case, it worked correctly. So all I know by now is that is has something to do with the type or cast, but what exactly? Does anybody now how to solve this without using a table?
Many thanks
Ariadne

I have placed a call to DBMS_SESSION.SET_NLS( 'nls_sort', 'binary' ) why not order directly then:
SQL> select *
      from table (sys.dbms_debug_vc2coll ('A', 1, '5', 'C', 'a'))
order by nlssort (column_value, 'NLS_SORT = binary')
COLUMN_VALUE
1
5
A
C
a
5 rows selected.?

Problems with transforming special characters

Hi,
I develop a small educational application ( http://sourceforge.net/projects/pauker/ ). I work with JDK-1.4.0 on Mandrake Linux 8.2. At first I used serialized objects to save the lessons to a file. This worked well until I wanted to change some public members of the involved classes. That's why I switched over to the new and shiny XML. Now I have a different problem!
Pauker saves its lessons in gziped XML files. Users from all over the world can create lessons containing very different characters. There are European characters like �� and asian characters. Loading this lessons on a system with a different encoding works fine. Saving such a lesson on a system with a different encoding can destroy the lesson.
Example:
On a german system a user creates a lesson with the letter � on a card side and saves it. A different user working on an english system loads this lesson. The character "�" is displayed correctly. The english user saves the lesson. The character "�" will be replaced by a question mark in the xml file. Next time the english user loads the lesson she will not see "�" but "?" on the display.
Here is a little example program that does the transformation in exactly the way Pauker does. Please test it out.
import java.io.*;
import javax.xml.parsers.*;
import javax.xml.transform.*;
import javax.xml.transform.dom.*;
import javax.xml.transform.stream.*;
import org.w3c.dom.*;
public class XMLTest {
public XMLTest() {
try {
// create document
DocumentBuilderFactory documentBuilderFactory = DocumentBuilderFactory.newInstance();
DocumentBuilder documentBuilder = documentBuilderFactory.newDocumentBuilder();
Document document = documentBuilder.newDocument();
// fill document
Element element = document.createElement("Element");
document.appendChild(element);
element.appendChild(document.createTextNode("��"));
// transform to XML
TransformerFactory transformerFactory = TransformerFactory.newInstance();
Transformer transformer = transformerFactory.newTransformer();
//transformer.setOutputProperty(OutputKeys.ENCODING, "ISO-8859-1");
transformer.setOutputProperty(OutputKeys.INDENT, "yes");
transformer.setOutputProperty("{http://xml.apache.org/xslt}indent-amount", "2");
DOMSource source = new DOMSource(document);
ByteArrayOutputStream outputStream = new ByteArrayOutputStream();
StreamResult result = new StreamResult(outputStream);
transformer.transform(source, result);
System.out.println("original: ��");
System.out.println(outputStream.toString());
} catch (Exception e) {
e.printStackTrace();
System.out.println();
public static void main(String[] args) {
new XMLTest();
So what do I have to do to fix this problem? I have a lot of new features waiting in the CVS but this bug is still open and discussed. I dont want to release a new version with such a gaping hole in it...
Thanks a lot!
If you prefer to reply peronally, please use Ronny.Standtke at gmx.de

I don't see how you can say that there's a problem with saving your XML files when the code you post doesn't actually save it to a file. Your transform is being written to a ByteArrayOutputStream, which isn't used except for this statement which I assume is for debugging:System.out.println(outputStream.toString());Of course that is useless for debugging the problem you describe, for two reasons:
1. the toString() method uses your system's default encoding, which may be ISO-8859-1 but is definitely not UTF-8. You could write toString("UTF-8") but that is a waste of time because:
2. You use System.out.println() to examine the data, which writes it to a console that also probably does not use UTF-8. I don't know what encoding it does use, but UTF-8 is unlikely.
So, save your files using the UTF-8 encoding as robadmin suggested. And to test the result, make sure you use a tool that understands the UTF-8 encoding.

Problems with transformation; infoobject not updated in DSO.

Hi all,
We are having some problems with one of our transformations between PSA and DSO.
Suddenly some of the fields are not filled in the DSO. The mapping for field Sales order number worked fine, and then I added an infoObject in the DSO to hold the info for Sales order item. I also replaced the infoobject that was supposed to hold the sales order number. After this, none of the two fields has any data in DSO. I checked the PSA, and the data is available here. I tested the rule in Rule details and for sales order number it gives the correct result, but for sales order item it gives a runtime error; assertion failed. I checked on SAP Notes, and found 929934. But the corrections are already added in our system.
Has anyone got any ideas on what to do?
BR,
Linda

Hi,
There are a number of problems in Transformation when either a source field or target field is changed.
This can lead to inconsistent transformation.
You can raise a message to SAP or best thing is if possible delete the Transformation and create a new one.

Problem with opening an excel spreadsheet

Hello,
I need to open an excel sheet when the user clicks on a link.
When I run the code I get SAVE/ DOWNLOAD dialog box.
Is it possible to get around the SAVE/DOWNLOAD dialog and open the excel sheet directly.
In other words, is it possible to download the excel sheet to a temp directory and open it from there.
Please help,
Thanks in advance.

Hi,
I am able to open the excel sheet successfully from the web application but what is happening is that when it opens it sets the title of the excel sheet as the URL from where it was downloaded.
The problem with this is that the macros within the excel sheet are not working.
If i save the excel sheet and give it a name, the macros are working.
So, obviously it is something to do with the title.
Is it possible for me to pass the filename along with the code to open the excel sheet.
Thanks for your help so far.

Strange problem with Transformations Mapping

Hi All,
I am facing a strange problem with respect to the data loading to ods from data source.
I have mapped a field, Number of days which is the difference between posting date and payment date (field in ECC, length char 5) mapped to characteristic zdate_1 length 5 without alpha conversion. (Date difference is calculated in ECC)
When I load data in production it is not fetching the records from PSA (Values exist for this field in PSA).
I have 90 fields in datasource whichbring data to PSA.
Same is working perfectly in Quality and Dev servers.
Where could the problem be?
Please suggest a solution.

Problem with opening MS Excel files through Portal

Hi All,
I have a user that is complaining about the behaviour of MS Excel files in the Portal. The MS Excel files do not match their behaviour at the windows level. The issue has to do with how MS Excel files never seem to open in a maximized sate when you open them from the portal. The same cannot be said about MS Word files. The behaviour of MS word files is consistent between windows and portal.
Solutions will be REWARDED.
Thanks & Regards,
Krishnen Subramanian.

Hi Hussain,
I hav uploaded the excel file into my KM contentafter that when i try to open it , it does not open as maximized.
Let me explain:
I create a new excel file on my desktop:
I open this file:
I maximize the workbook and save:
I close Excel and then open the file right back up:
I notice that Excel and the workbook open up maximized. I close Excel again.
I now upload the file to the portal:
I then open the file from here:
It is noticed that the Excel is not maximized. We would like for it to behave as it does from the desktop. In other words, if it is saved as maximized, it should open from the portal that way. If it is saved as half way open, it should open that way from the portal.
I have found that MS Word documents behave in the portal as they do on the desktop. I create an MS Word file on my desktop:
There appears to be something portal related that prevents MS Excel files from opening maximized.
Hope you will be abl to solve the message.
Thanks & Regards,
Krishnen Subramanian.

Problem with transform(source, result)

Dear gurus,
I have DOM document as source in my java program. The document has data for 1 record insert into a table.
The insert will be done on the database side with dbms_xmlsave.insertxml(insctx, xmldoc) where xmldoc is my document and has VARCHAR2 type.
I am looking for the correct syntax at the time when I do
transformer.transform(source, result);
so that I can pass 'result' to my database function that will do the insert with dbms_xmlsave.
Can I have 'result' as of type 'String'?
Thank you.
Anatoliy

Folks,
Never mind - I found an example, I am using
Writer outWriter = new StringWriter ( ) ;
StreamResult outResult = new StreamResult ( outWriter ) ;
transformer.transform ( source, outResult ) ;
String strResult = null;
strResult = outResult.getWriter ( ) .toString ( ) ;
but now the problem is with the first line of the xml doc which is
<?xml version = '1.0'?>
The CallableStatement doesn't like the single quotes! What should I do - get rid of the first line OR change single quote with douable quotes OR may be something else?
Thank you.
Anatoliy

Problem with Export to Excel from ALV view.

Hello @all,
i have a problem on my webdynpro application. I use the component SALV_WD_TABLE. I become display my data but when i want to export the table to ecel, i became a short dump with the message in the browser: Access via 'NULL' object reference not possible.
When i look at ST22. The system show this text.
What happened?
    Error in the ABAP Application Program
    The current ABAP program "CL_SALV_WD_A_MODEL_TABLE======CP" had to be
     terminated because it has
    come across a statement that unfortunately cannot be executed.
Error analysis
    An exception occurred that is explained in detail below.
    The exception, which is assigned to class 'CX_SY_REF_IS_INITIAL', was no
     caught in
    procedure "IF_SALV_BS_MODEL_COLUMN~GET_HEADER_BIND_DDIC_FIELD" "(METHOD)
     was it propagated by a RAISING clause.
    Since the caller of the procedure could not have anticipated that the
    exception would occur, the current program is terminated.
    The reason for the exception is:
    You attempted to use a 'NULL' object reference (points to 'nothing')
    access a component (variable: "LR_HEADER").
    An object reference must point to an object (an instance of a class)
    before it can be used to access components.
    Either the reference was never set or it was set to 'NULL' using the
    CLEAR statement.
How to correct the error
    If the error occures in a non-modified SAP program, you may be able to
    find an interim solution in an SAP Note.
    If you have access to SAP Notes, carry out a search with the following
    keywords:
    "OBJECTS_OBJREF_NOT_ASSIGNED" "CX_SY_REF_IS_INITIAL"
    "CL_SALV_WD_A_MODEL_TABLE======CP" or "CL_SALV_WD_A_MODEL_TABLE======CM0
    "IF_SALV_BS_MODEL_COLUMN~GET_HEADER_BIND_DDIC_FIELD"
    If you cannot solve the problem yourself and want to send an error
    notification to SAP, include the following information:
    1. The description of the current problem (short dump)
       To save the description, choose "System->List->Save->Local File
    (Unconverted)".
    2. Corresponding system log
       Display the system log by calling transaction SM21.
       Restrict the time interval to 10 minutes before and five minutes
    after the short dump. Then choose "System->List->Save->Local File
    (Unconverted)".
    3. If the problem occurs in a problem of your own or a modified SAP
    program: The source code of the program
       In the editor, choose "Utilities->More
    Utilities->Upload/Download->Download".
    4. Details about the conditions under which the error occurred or which
    actions and input led to the error.
The exception must either be prevented, caught within proedure
"IF_SALV_BS_MODEL_COLUMN~GET_HEADER_BIND_DDIC_FIELD" "(METHOD)", or its
possible occurrence must be declared in the
RAISING clause of the procedure.
To prevent the exception, note the following:
Information on where terminated
    Termination occurred in the ABAP program "CL_SALV_WD_A_MODEL_TABLE======CP" -
     in "IF_SALV_BS_MODEL_COLUMN~GET_HEADER_BIND_DDIC_FIELD".
    The main program was "SAPMHTTP ".
    In the source code you have the termination point in line 19
    of the (Include) program "CL_SALV_WD_A_MODEL_TABLE======CM030".
    The termination is caused because exception "CX_SY_REF_IS_INITIAL" occurred in
    procedure "IF_SALV_BS_MODEL_COLUMN~GET_HEADER_BIND_DDIC_FIELD" "(METHOD)", but
     it was neither handled locally nor declared
    in the RAISING clause of its signature.
    The procedure is in program "CL_SALV_WD_A_MODEL_TABLE======CP "; its source

Problem with SQL query region source containing OLAP clauses

Hi team,
I believe I found a bug when HTMLDB validates the SQL Query in a report region.
My query includes an ORDER BY clause within a windowing function and HTMLDB refuses to accept the source owing to the presence of the ORDER BY and the column heading sort preference.
Clearly the order-by in a window function has little to do with the column heading sort, but this error prevents me from updating the conditional display item in the page definition.
Note also that the page was imported smoothly from the 1.5 version, so probably the region source is not checked at that time, but only when you update it "manually".
So, in the end, if I don't change anything the page works because the sql query is assumed to be correct but unfortunately I need to change the condition and I cannot.
The problem shows up in page 126 of app 21670, SQL query region.
Bye,
Flavio
PS: may be I can work around this by using the pl/sql function returning the sql query.

Flavio,
We're aware of this problem. For now, your workaround is described in this thread:
HTMLDB 1.6 and "order by" in analytic functions

Problem with the SQL Data Source (Essbase server in Unix Env)

I too have the same problem.
I have setup the Datasource for an Oracle db in the Essbase Server (which is on a Unix Box) using the Oracle Wire Protocol.I tested the ODBC connection in the Server and it connect with the credentials.
But if i choose the same DSN in the EAS and try to connect i get the below error
Error: 1021001 Failed to Establish Connection With SQL Database Server.
I even downloaded a document from the Oracle site.. on the SQL interface in Essbase but i could not find the inst-sql.sh file to enable Essbase SQL Interface on the server. Is this required??
I tried with both the User & System DSN on the server but no luck.
Any help on this will be highly appreciated. Thanks in advance.
Posting in a new thread since the old one is answered and no points available to score.

It can depend on the version, it is different for version 11, further information :- How to define a relational data source in (odbc.ini) V11 Essbase?

Encountering problems with exporting complex excel sheets to SWF

Please help me with this problem:
I have a complex Excel sheet, with functions like VERT.LOOKUP, INDEX etc. This should work in Xcelsius, but I have problems when having a preview in SWF. In the Xcelsius Present 2008 drawing window, all buttons work perfectly, but when I preview it, all outcomes are gone (buttons do work).
When removing VERT.LOOKUP and table shortnames (see example) it sometimes does work. So my guess is that SWF does not support VERT.LOOKUP and/or table shortnames. Does anyone know anything about this problem and maybe can help me? I use the 30-day trial version of Xcelsius Present.
Table example:
_______PROD1____PROD2____PROD3
YEAR1___10________20________30
YEAR2___20________15________50
YEAR3___30________10________100
In Excel, when you give names to this table (Insert/Name/Make --> columns & rows), you can get info out of this table with the simple function =YEAR1 PROD2. --> 20.
Thank you very much!

Yeah, I know. But VERT.LOOKUP is supported. The strange thing about this is dat Xcelsius is displaying is well when not in the preview mode.
