Problems with updating data in excel spreadsheet using ODI

That's my first post on this forum, therefore I'd like to say Hello to everybody reading it before I present my problem.
First I configured the ODBC connection to the xls file which conteins my data - the file isn't defined as read-only in the ODBC connection. The next step was setting up a Microsoft Excel Data Server in the topology manager in which I inserted the physical model and of course a logical one referencing the physical one. These steps allowed me to insert a model with my table in the Designer - I can view data throug the option 'view data' appearing after the right-click on the datastore. One of the columns was defined as primary key in constraints. I can use this xls file datastore as a source in an interface - loading the target finishes with a success. But I can't update the data in the xls file using the 'data' option appearing after right-click on the datastore correspondig to it in the designer. The new window with data from file appears without any problem, but when I try to update any of the fields I recieve an error:
*"See com.borland.dx.dataset.DataSetException error code: BASE+37*
*com.borland.dx.dataset.DataSetException: DataSet has no unique row identifiers.*
*Note: For QueryDataSets you need to disable metaDataUpdate.ROWID in the MetaDataUpdate property, in addition to setting the RowId property on a column.* - don't know where to configure it

What should I do to be able to modify data from the xls file that way (is it possible in any way)?

It is not possible to update the data directly from ODI on some technologies, mainly due to some driver limitations.
I would suggest to edit the spreadsheet in Excel.
Thanks,

Problem with uploading data from excel using BDC for tcode f-02

Hi All,
I am uploading data from excel using BDC for tcode f-02. The problem here is, while recording, the values of some fields are recording twice. I dont know why it's happening so. But if I run my abap program, I have to give those fields twice in my excel sheet. Otherwise data does not upload. But it is not the feasible way. We must give those fields once in excel. Please tell me, how I can solve the issue.
With regards,
Rosaline.

Hi,
in BDC each and every action is recording. If your press enter in same screen that also recorded once aging may be this is your case repeating field values will appear. we can solve the problem for repeat fields like below.
suppose in your excel having repeated field X1 X2 X3 the X2 contains repeated field X3 means delete the X3 field.
Now In your itab having X1 and X2 fields. While in the LOOP the ITAB pass the X2 field to repeated the fields.
LOOP at ITAB to WA.
CLEAR bdcdata_wa.
bdcdata_wa-fnam = 'BDC_CURSOR'.
bdcdata_wa-fval = 'RM08M-EBELN'.
APPEND bdcdata_wa TO bdcdata_tab.
CLEAR bdcdata_wa.
bdcdata_wa-fnam = 'INVFO-BLDAT'.
bdcdata_wa-fval = wa-X2." 1st time pass the X2 fields
APPEND bdcdata_wa TO bdcdata_tab.
CLEAR bdcdata_wa.
bdcdata_wa-fnam = 'INVFO-BLDAT'.
bdcdata_wa-fval = wa-X2." pass the same value to repeated field
APPEND bdcdata_wa TO bdcdata_tab.
Endloop.
Hope you can understand.

Problem with Exporting Data to Excel

Hi Everyone,
I have problem with exporting the data to a excel file. I am using a XP
system in German which uses comma "," as the decimal point , and I also set
"Use localized decimal point*" under the FronPanel Options to be true. But
the exported excel file can not recognize (or just ignore) the comma for a
whole column (flow rate), for examle "1,234" (1.234 in non-german system)
would be 1234. But if I open its text file where the data came
from by calling Excel directly, there will be no problem. Is this a bug of
LabVIEW, or I forget some settings?
Thanks a lot!
Le
P.S: The LabVIEW version is 8.2.1 and the Office version is Office2007.

Hi Le,
Sound familiar; here in The Netherlands we have the same problem. That is why we use the English versions for XP and Office.
I don’t quite understand how you interface to Excel. Directly with ActiveX or through a CSV file.
Can you explain a bit more ?

Thanks Jhoskin and Rudi .......
I am able to write data to excel sheet now. I am attaching one"test.zip" file that contains a VI named "Squence.vi "that contains another subVI named "Write U94006 Table To XL.vi"which does the functionality of counting the number of rows in the excel sheet and writing data in the next blank row. I am using the same subVI in the VI named "Sequence.vi"two times so it is taking a lot of time in opening and closing the excel sheet. Will you please suggest some way of calling the subVI only one time.

Weird problem with loading data from an XML using a for loop

Hi,
I have a strange problem. I have encountered this thing many a times but still don't know the proper workaround for it.
I am trying to load swf file, a video file or an image. They can be present on a local system or on a remote server also. All the entries corresponding to the files to be loaded is made in an XML file. I traverse through the nodes of the XML using a for loop. On the complete event of loader info, example:.
loader.contentLoaderInfo.addEventListener(Event.COMPLETE, onComplete);
I fill a container with the loaded data.
My problem is when I am using for loop it doesn't works properly but if i use a statement like this:
someFunc()
     if(i<arr.length())
     ... do something...
     loader.contentLoaderInfo.addEventListener(Event.COMPLETE, onComplete);
private function onComplete(e:Event):void
... do something...
i++;
All files are loaded properly.
I think this can be because the for loop processes pretty fast but the content takes time to load, which ultimately leads to some wierd results.
Please let me know how can this thing be done correctly by using a for loop also.

You don't want to use a for loop to load several items. The way you almost appear to have it is the proper approach... load a file and use the completion of its loading to trigger loading the next file.

Problem while writing data on xls file using jxl API

Hi,
I am getting problem while writing data on excel file using jxl api.
When i write data on file and all handles associated to the file are closed, file size increases but when i open the file nothing is written in it and when file is closed manually from excel window, file size decreased to its original that was before writing data.
here is code:
          FileOutputStream os = new FileOutputStream(this.dirPath + this.fileName, true);
          WritableWorkbook this.workbook = Workbook.createWorkbook(os);
after writing data following handler are closed:
this.os.flush();
                    this.workbook.write();
                    this.workbook.close();
                    this.os.close();
                    this.os = null;
can any body help me.
Thanks in advance

Err, I did help you. I did understand your problem; and I solved it for you. What was missing was that you apparently made no effort to understand what you were being told. Or even consider it. You just argued about it, as though you were the one with the solution, instead of the one whose code didn't work.
And the other thing that was missing was the part where you said 'thank you' to me for solving your problem. Somewhat more appropriate than biting the hand that fed you, frankly. I do this for nothing, on my own gas, and it's extremely irritating when people keep asking about problems I have already solved for them. I am entitled to discourage that. It's part of making them more efficient actually.
But it happens often enough that it also makes me think I'm just wasting my time. Probably I am.

Problem with Java Dates and UPDATE for SQL2000

I am having problems with the date formats for Java. I am trying to put the current date time into a SQL table, here it the code I am using:
var Today = new Date()
var conn = Server.CreateObject( "ADODB.Connection" )
conn.Open( "Provider=SQLOLEDB;Server=(local);Database=BillTracking;UID=sa;PWD=;")
var sql = "UPDATE BillAssignments SET DatePosted = " + Today + " WHERE AssignmentID = '" + Request.QueryString("AssignmentID") + "'"
var rs = conn.execute(sql)
I keep getting different errors and I have been unable to find a solution yet. I know that I need to change the date format from the Java standard to the one that SQL likes.
Help....
Norm...

Please tell us where the Java part of this comes in. I see that you are using JavaScript to load up data via an ADO connection (presumably on an IIS platform) - but I do not see where you are using Java

nowadays have many user have problem with update to ios7 and need active with apple id maybe in the future in order escape from these problems must be stop use these products else. Because of simple user don't know about this technology and sometime just hear from other user that it 's difficult to use then force they change phone that use to handle to another.

It is a feature to discourage the theft of iPhones by making them useless if resold. It's not going anywhere. It's simple: just don't buy a phone until you make sure that the activation lock has been disabled.

Problem with controlling Annotations from Excel VBA

Hi,
I have a PDF document that has plenty of sticky notes attached to it. These sticky notes have been added by multiple authors on all pages of the document. I am trying to import the contents of these sticky notes, their author and the page number to an excel spreadsheet. I am using Excel 2007 and Acrobat Professional 9.0.
This is the code that I am currently using to import the sticky notes, but the problem that I am facing is that when I run the macro -
Same sticky note contents, author and page numbers are imported multiple times
Not all sticky notes are imported, only some of them appear in the final excel spreadsheet
When I compare the number of sticky notes to that in the original PDF file, the number is correct. But the content is repeated content and that is the reason why only some of the sticky notes are imported.
This is an activity that I need to do on regular basis and the number of sticky notes that I need to import to excel may range between 100 to 200. It is really difficult to do this task manually, so an excel VBA macro could prove really helpful.

Make sure you are current with 9.x patches, just on general principles.
The code seems fine – nothing jumping out at me.
You can also look at using the JSObject methods and trying this via the JavaScript stuff – that will give you more access to the Annotation information…

Is anyone else having problems with Apertures Date fields?

After experiencing a sysems failure I began restoring my images from backups. I have had no end of problems with Image dates. I have come to the determination that Aperture is NOT using either the "Create Date" or "DateTimeOriginal" as the image "Date" or "Date Created" data if other fields have other dates.
Here is a clip from my image metadata using exiftool:
File Modification Date/Time     : 2012:09:23 19:53:15-04:00
File Access Date/Time           : 2013:01:16 11:34:38-05:00
File Inode Change Date/Time     : 2013:01:16 11:31:32-05:00
Create Date                          : 2006:02:20 11:51:12.10
Date/Time Original              : 2006:02:20 16:51:12.10
Modify Date                          : 2006:02:20 11:51:12.10
And here is what Aperture utilized on import
Date:                               9/23/12 7:53:15 PM EDT
Date Created                         9/23/2012 7:53:15 PM
So Aperture utlized the File Modification Date/Time as the Create Date despite that the fact that the Create Date field is present and is properly formatted in the original image.
According to the Aperture mapping table, this shouldn't be happening.
Now, before someone recommends that I use Aperture's Date Adjust utility - I'm talking about slightly over 30,000 images. Editing images one at a time, or in blocks when you don't know what field Aperture is using as the Create Date would require individual inspection of each image followed by manual adjustment of each image. That approach isn't acceptable.

Hmm ok, let me restate the issue then, I thought I was clear. I could have pointed out in my original post however, that only the EXIF and IPTC date fields were displayed from the metadata dump.
The data set presented in my first post is the EXIF dataset from the file which clearly shows the image was captured by digital camera at
Create Date                          : 2006:02:20 11:51:12.10
Date/Time Original              : 2006:02:20 16:51:12.10
(The delta of 5 hours is the result of Zulu versus local time offset)
But, when I ingested it into Aperture, the import routine utilized the IPTC field
File Modification Date/Time     : 2012:09:23 19:53:15-04:00
which is updated by the OS whenever you move the file around outside of Aperture. (a number of image data fields are updated by the OS - filename for example is another.). This resulted in the image date fields being stamped in Aperture as:
Date:                               9/23/12 7:53:15 PM EDT
Date Created                         9/23/2012 7:53:15 PM
Which obviously came form the File Modification Date/Time field and not (either) the Create Date or Date/Time Original fields.

Call Excel SpreadSheet using OLE and set format = text

Hi All,
I am working on an object, where I need to call Excel SpreadSheet using OLE.
In SpreadSheet, I need to show data as text (Without Excel Internal Modifications).
i.e
if i pass 03/2007 as month in excel, it should show 01/2007 not jan-07.
I am trying to use the code as below.
call method of cell 'SET_FORMAT' = text.
set property of text 'CATEGORY' = 4.
this code is not giving me desired output.
Is there any other method i can call? or property I can set?
can somebody pls send me a document with list of all formattiong methods and properties. I will really appreciate the help.
Regards,
Hardik

Hi, you should concatenate the character ( ' ) into your text, example
CONCATENATE '''' text INTO text.
Then print the variable Text into excel and you will see the format as Text,
Thanks and regards.

Facing problem with a date column in select query

Hi,
I am facing problem with a date column. Below is my query and its fainling with " invalid number format model" .
Query: SELECT *
FROM EMP
WHERE trunc(LAST_UPDATED) >= to_date(to_char(22-05-2009,'dd-mm-yyyy'),'dd-mm-yyyy')
LAST_UPDATED column is "DATE" data type.
Please help me Thanks

You do not need the TRUNC here in any case.
I don't think so. What if the user wants only data for 22nd May and the table has records with date later than 22nd also? In that case your query willl not work. In order for the Index to work, I think the query can be written like this I think Sean is right though. Use of TRUNC Function is quiet useless based on the condition given here, since the to_date Function used by OP will always point to midnight of the specified date, in this case 22-05-2009 00:00:00.

Edit: I think Sean proved his point... ;)

Problem with the date conversion

Hi Friends,
i am facing the problem with the date conversion, Actuall my requirement is to pass the date to the screen based on the user setting roles(SU01).
I have fetched the user setting date format by using the funciton module SUSR_GET_USER_DEFAULTS, The function module picks the exact user date setting (Like as MM/DD/YYYY, MM.DD.YYYY, DD.MM.YY).
After that i have implemented the FORMAT_DATE_4_OUTPUT funciton module for converting of the user role setting date format into system date format.
for the english language case the funciton module FORMAT_DATE_4_OUTPUT works fine but the funciton module not supported for other languages
Can you please provide the Function Moudle for user setting date conversion.
The funciton module is most important for us,
Thanks
Charan

I didnt touch any config files or something else. Only created new User and DAD.
any ideas what should I do to fix that ??
thnx in advice

Hello,
My guess is that you are speaking about PLSQL Server Pages (PSP), and the PLSQL Web Toolkit.
This is why I do not think that you will have lot of answer since this forum is targeted toward Web Services developer (XML, SOAP, and so on)
I am inviting you to ask your question on the general Oracle Application Server - General or PLSQL forums.
