Question - new to BO Data Services Designer - how to automatically transform varchar column data to upper(varchar) across all columns in a table?

Hello -
New user to BO Data Services Designer. Company is using Data Services Version 12.2.
I have many tables that all need the same transformation- converting varchars fields to upper(varchar) fields
Example:
I have a table called Items. It has 40 columns, 25 of which are of type varchar.
What I have been doing is ....
I make the Item table as the source table then create a Query transform that is then attached to a new target table called - ITEMS_Production.
I can manually drag and drop columns from the source table to the query and then in the mapping area I can manually type in upper(table_name.column_name) or select the upper function and then select the table.column name from the function drop down list.
Obviously, I want to do this quicker as I have to do this for lots and lots of tables.
How can set up Data Services so that I can drag and drop an upper transform quickly and easily or automate this process.
I also know Python-Java so am happy to script something if need be.
the logic would be something like -
if there is a column with a type varchar, add the upper() transformation to column. Go to next column.
Excited to be using this new tool-
Thanks in advance.

Hi,
I'm not sure if I understood what are you trying to do. But you can modify your table in a backing bean code. JSF page code for a table:
<af:table id="product_search_results_tbl" binding="#{backingBean.boundTable}" ... />
And a backing bean code:
import oracle.adf.view.faces.component.core.data.CoreTable;
public class YourBackingBean {
    private CoreTable boundTable;
    public void setBoundTable(CoreTable boundTable) {
        this.boundTable = boundTable;
    public CoreTable getBoundTable() {
        return boundTable;
   public String insertButtonAction() {
      // Bind your button action to this method and modify here your bound table
     return null;
{code}
Look for column modification methods in a CoreTable class documentation.

How to get the primarykey columns of the table in SAP BI Java SDK

Hi, I'm new to sap BI Java SDK. I'm not getting how to get the primarykey columns, using BI JDBC Connector (for relational data sources). If anybody knows, please let me know. its very very urgent task to be done in my project. In the below following code.... I have written a code to connect to the database through resource bundle, reading table names, once user select table name, i need to show the primary key columns of that table to the user. here i'm not getting how to get the primary key columns . Please send me the code if there is any method to find out the primarykey columns or a logic to get them. I will be greatful to you.... if you can do this favour.
Please check out the following code ........

Thanks SreeKanth

Hi,
looks like you are on Infomation Builders, correct? If yes through which adapter and to what DB are you connecting?? in an R3/BW system you can do the folowing:
"(ABAP)
SELECT DISTINCT FIELDNAME
FROM DD03L
WHERE TABNAME = '/BIC/QPERSON'
AND AS4LOCAL = 'A'
AND KEYFLAG = 'X'
ORDER BY 1
Another option is goto directly to the RDBMS; in this case let me which one are you using
hope this helps...

How to insert filename as column in external table.

I have an external table that is made up by number of different files. I would like to add a new column in the table to store the actual external filename. How can this be done?
thanks in advanced

That's going to be a problem, then. The ISO 8859-1 character set doesn't support that character, so you cannot store a ™ in a CHAR or VARCHAR2 column in your database.
Potentially, you could use an NCHAR or NVARCHAR2 column, depending on your national character set. Using the national character set, though, can cause other problems, particularly for front-end applications that may not fully support those data types.
You could also potentially change your existing character set to something that does support that character, but that may be a rather involved sort of change.

How to populate the organization_code column in ST table for legacy system

Hi, dear all,
Now I use the stage table to load the setup&transaction collection data from a non-EBS legacy system to ASCP system.
My question is: how to populate the organization_code column in the stage table？If the source system is EBS system, maybe it's an inventory organization code. But for the non-EBS system, which value is need fo this field? keep it as blank? or assign some value for it?
Thanks
Edited by: 852938 on 2011-5-4 下午10:24

I find some words in the implementation guide, it says:"To collect data from your non-Oracle ERP systems or your trading partners' systems,you model each non-Oracle ERP system or trading partner as an Oracle Applications organization and store their setup and transaction data there".
But I can't find where to model the application organization for the legacy system.
anyone can give some clues? Thanks in advance.

How to update the COST column using another table's column

Dear All,
I have table:
table parts: pno, pname, qoh, price, olevel
table orders: ono, cno, eno, received, shipped
table odetails: ono, pno, qty
view:orders_view: ono, cno, eno, received, shipped,sum(qty*price)order_costview:odetails_view: ono, pno, qty, (qty*price)cost
after I update the price in parts, I need to update COST and ORDER_COST too. The orders_view does not have pno, qty, and price, the odetails_view does not have price, how can I update the COST and ORDER_COST. Please help and Thanks in advance!!!
I wrote the update the price in parts:
create or replace procedure change_price(ppno in parts.pno%type, pprice in parts.price%type) as
begin
    update parts
    set price = pprice
    where pno = ppno;
end;
show errorsthis procedure works fine.
I wrote the trigger:
create or replace trigger update_orders_v
after update of price on parts
for each row
begin
    update orders_view
    set order_cost = sum(parts.(:new.price)*parts.qty)
    where parts.pno = :new.pno;
end;
show errorsIt gives me:Errors for TRIGGER UPDATE_ORDERS_V:

3/5 PL/SQL SQL Statement ignored
4/22 PL/SQL ORA-00934: group function is not allowed hereplease help!

You could add the columns to the tables and then you would need a trigger to update those columns. However, you could just as easily select the price * qty to get the cost, without creating an additional column or trigger. I have no idea what you might want to do with a global temporary table. I think you need to explain what your purpose is, before any of us can suggest the best method. Since I have already demonstrated an update with a view, I will demonstrate an update with the cost column added to the odetails table and a trigger as you asked about. Notice that you will need triggers on both tables, the one that has qty and the one that has price.

How to split list of columns into 2 tables in SSIS 2012?

Hi,
I have 200 columns in Source. Now i want to split these columns, few into Destination A and few more columns into
Destination B. Multi cast i tried to use, but it coping all the columns . Any help would be appreciated. Thanks in Advance.
Lets assume i have columns A,B,C,D,E..
i want to move Columns A,B,D into destination A and
columns A,C,D,E INTO Destination B. please help me to implement this logic?

Hi vasu_479,
Based on your description, you want to split columns in source table into two destination tables.
After testing the scenario in my environment, we can use Multicast to achieve your requirement. Just as you said, the Multicast would return all columns. But we can use the method below to achieve the goal:
If the destination tables are existing tables, we can just map column A, B and D as Input Columns to the corresponding Destination Columns in the Mapping tab for destination A. Then map column A, C, D and E in destination B.
If the destination tables are created in the Destination component, we can modify the create table query to directly create A, B and D for destination table A, create A, C, D and E for destination table B. Then there columns would be automatically mapped
in the Mappings pane.
If there are any other questions, please feel free to ask.
Thanks,

How to get invoice status column in ap_invoice_all table

how to get the invoice_status column like "NEEDS RE VALIDATION" in account payables tables.

The invoice approval status does not come from any table / lookup.
Instead, Oracle builds it by calling the ap_invoices_pkg.get_approval_status function.
You can also call it by passing invoice_id, payment_status_flag and invoice_type_lookup_code.
All these 4 columns are present on the ap_invoices_all record.
Hope this helps

How to update a BLOB column in a table with a file in local machine?

I have a file (of XML type) in my local machine. I want to update it in a BLOB column of a table in databse server. Can anyone help me in this regard. Appreciate your help.
Regards
Walter Nicholas

Can anyone help me in this regard.That's the client's job to read data on the client PC (from keyboard/mouse/scanner/file/whatever input) and submit that to the database server for processing and/or storage.
You cannot expect the server to hack into your PC and lift that data in the file from your disk. Not that is not technically possible. You can wire rockets onto a bicycle to make it go faster, but that's not a wise thing to do. Similarly, it is not a bright idea to ignore the very basics of client-server.
Bottom line - you need client s/w on your PC to load the content of that file into Oracle. It can be done using SQL*Loader as already suggested. It can be done using a web browser (submitting it via HTTP to web-enabled PL/SQL code). You can use FTP or WebDav and upload into Oracle's XDB (XML database).
Your requirements will determine what client to use. Once off load? SQL*Loader is very easy to use for loading XML files into the database.

How to Hide a entire column in a Table Control?

Can we hide an entire column in a Table control? Plz give some hints in doing the same...

Here is a sample, if you wish to do it programattically.   If you used the table control wizard, then you should have a module which is listed in the flow logic PBO of the screen. Its probably commented out.
itabcon_change_col_attr
Uncomment it and create the module. Then put the code that I have in the module below into your module.
report zrich_0003 .
*&spwizard: declaration of tablecontrol 'ITABCON' itself
controls: itabcon type tableview using screen 0100.
data: begin of itab occurs 0,
      fld1 type c,
      fld2 type c,
      end of itab.
start-of-selection.
call screen 100.
*&      Module STATUS_0100 OUTPUT
*       text
module status_0100 output.
* SET PF-STATUS 'xxxxxxxx'.
* SET TITLEBAR 'xxx'.
endmodule.
*&      Module ITABCON_change_col_attr OUTPUT
*       text
module itabcon_change_col_attr output.
<b> data: wa like line of itabcon-cols.
loop at itabcon-cols into wa.
    if wa-screen-name = 'ITAB-FLD2'.
      wa-invisible = '1'.
      modify itabcon-cols from wa.
    endif.
endloop.</b>
