Quick data transformation query

Hi guys, newish to Oracle from an and am trying to do the following... so many thanks for any help!
if mytable.col1 is not blank, then copy mytable.col1 to mytable.col2 BUT, it needs reformatting during the copy.
Both columns are varchar2 col1 being 15 wide and col2 being 20 wide.
I need to transform from 'PACKAGEabcde001' to 'PACKAGEabcde 00001'
so yes, those 5 extra characters are indeed 3 spaces and 2 extra zero's.
any help muchly appreciated.

Hi,
select substr('PACKAGEabcde001', 1, 12) || ' ' || lpad(substr('PACKAGEabcde001', 13, 3), 5, '0') from mytable

Script Logic VS Data Transformation File

Hi all,
   I'm new to SAP BPC. I have knowledge of SAP BW.
   I can see conversion file, which we are referring in data transformation file. which we can use for mapping and conversion of external data into internal data.
How data transformation file different form script logic? Are we going to refer script logis in Data transformation file for each required dimension?
Can any of you give me clarity on how to place script logic and data transformation file in BPC data management flow.
I will really applicate all your help!!!
Thanks
Ben.

Nilanjan,
   I have a another quick question...
suppose my bpc application has 5 dimensions. Out of the 5 dimensions, 4 dimensions data i'm getting directly from SAP BW. assume 1 dim, i need to extract by doing look up at different table which also reside in BW.
   how to populate data for DIM 5.
   I got your point that data transformation file purely for field mapping. suppose DIM5 if i want to populate from script logic, wht do i need map in Transformation file. I hope you got my point.
   My question if how to populate a DIM in BPC using lookup approach.
Thanks,
Ben.

Using XML extraction from Oracle and XSLT data transformation

How Can I use a Variable in Data Controls query. Frank Kindly check...

Hii,
I am using JDeveloper 11g ADF BC.
My Requirement is that I hv a login screen which is taken from [http://blogs.oracle.com/shay/simpleJSFDBlogin.zip].
I hv attached BC in this application. I want to use the login usercode in the next pages after login screen. Next screen contains 3 list items which will be populating based on the user. So I created <af:selectOneChoice> using the BC( Just drag & dropped the column into the page from the data controls). But in the data control i want to use this usercode for passing the condition. Now Data is coming without any condition.
So How can I use the usercode in the Data controls query.
When I tried to display the usercode in the next page it is showing by binding the value. its code is follows
<af:outputText value="#{backing_getUser.uid}"
The program for checking the username & Password is follows.
package login.backing;
import oracle.adf.view.rich.component.rich.RichDocument;

String user = this.getUid().getValue().toString();
// String pass = inputText2.getValue().toString();
String pid = this.getPid().getValue().toString();
Connection conn;
conn = getConnection();
Statement stmt = conn.createStatement();
ResultSet rset = stmt.executeQuery ("SELECT usercode FROM guser where usercode = '"+user.toUpperCase()+"' and pwd=F_TEST('"+pid.toUpperCase()+"')");

String thinConn = "jdbc:oracle:thin:@SERVER1:1521:G5PS";
DriverManager.registerDriver(new OracleDriver());
Connection conn =
DriverManager.getConnection(thinConn, username, password);
conn.setAutoCommit(false);
return conn;
public void setInputText1(RichInputText inputText1) {
this.inputText1 = inputText1;
public RichInputText getInputText1() {
return inputText1;
public void setInputText2(RichInputText inputText2) {
this.inputText2 = inputText2;
public RichInputText getInputText2() {
return inputText2;
-----

Hi,
I didn't look at the example, but if you want to secure your application then you should use container managed security. Read this .
Anyway, you could add this before return "good"; in your login_action()
FacesContext.getCurrentInstance().getExternalContext().getSessionMap().put("username", user);Then, you can access this from anywhere in the application by using #{sessionScope.username}.

Data transformation tool in wli8.1

hi,
We are trying to explore the data transformation tool of the wil8.1.
We have cobol copy books as input and we need to end up populating oracle tables.
These are the steps we are following:
1. Use format builder to change cobol copy books into .mfl files
2. Import them into the existing schema.
3.. Create a schema(.xsd) which would take the output which then could be transferd
into the java variables while creating the .jcx file.
3. Create a .dtf file that would take in the .mfl as the input and the output
would be the .xsd file created in step 3.
4. Create a .jpd file that would be initiated with the client request and would
use the .dtf as an input in the control send node and will return the .xsd file
creted in the step3.
The xsd file we have created is:
<?xml version="1.0"?>

We have not as yet gone to the stage where we can create a .jcx file using the
output of the first stage. The error we get while trying to run the .jpd file
in the last step is:
An unexpected exception occurred while attempting to locate the run-time information
for this Web Service. Error: java.lang.NoClassDefFoundError:com/bea/transformationWeb/part1Xform/Part1XformDocument
Any help you coulde provide in this would be really appriciated.
However, your suggestions on some other method to be followed for data tranformation
from cobol copybooks to oracle tables are also welcome.

Data Transformation Service (DTS) available in Oracle SQL Developer?

Hi All,
Sorry to bother you again. Is Data Transformation Service (DTS) available in Oracle SQL Developer? So far I cannot find it. For example, i want merge First Name, Last Name column from Access,excel or cvs to migrate as Full Name in Oracle or Full name in Access,Xls or cvs split into First name & last name column in Oracle. What method or service should I use.
Regards,
Tun Tun

On wikipedia, I see that's a SQL Server component, so I don't think it's possible to use it in any other program.
But you can always tweak columns through normal queries, and even create a new table based on that, like
CREATE TABLE Table_New AS
SELECT First_Name || Last_Name FROM Table_OldHope that helps,
K.

How to display current date in query header?

Hi,
How to display current date in query header?
I use Query Designer for development.
Thanks,
Arun KK

Hi Arun,
You can define fixed header lines and footer lines so that when you generate the query list, they can receive current values of certain fields. When you define a header line or a footer line, you must specify a character string of the type &field, where field is the short name of a field.
This function allows you (for example) to place a sort criterion in the header line.
You can include the following fields as variables in the headers directly:
%NAME
Name of the user processing the query
%DATE
Current date
%TIME
Current time
%PAGE
Current page number (6 characters)
%P
Current page number (3 characters)
These fields can be used in the short forms N,D,T and P. If you want to use these letters as short names for query fields, the field values from the query are used.
You can also see the link

Oracle date parameter query not working?

http://stackoverflow.com/questions/14539489/oracle-date-parameter-query-not-working

Oracle Database Inserts Via Microsoft Data Transformation Services (DTS)

This question involves a SQL Server database and an Oracle database. The databases reside on different servers. One of our developers periodically uses Microsoft DTS (Data Transformation Services) to read data from a SQL Server database and insert it into an Oracle database. Normally the job runs once a day and reportedly inserts about 20,000 rows. The job usually runs fine. About a month ago execution of the daily job was suspended. Two days ago the developer ran a job to select and insert nine days of information. He estimated that 80,000 rows would be inserted. The job cancelled after twenty-three minutes when it filled up the 512 MB UNDO tablespace. (FYI, we use automatic UNDO management.) At the point of failure the number of active sessions spiked sharply in the Oracle database because of system I/O waits (log file parallel write, db file parallel write, and control file parallel write). The number of active sessions also spiked sharply in three other Oracle databases whose files reside on the same array of disk drives. Most of those sessions were waiting on commits (log file sync). The spikes lasted for one minute or less. Grid Control’s performance monitor shows that sqlservr.exe is the module being executed when the UNDO tablespace fills up. We ran the job a second time and closely monitored it, watching the amount of UNDO space grow until it used all 512 MB available. The symptoms described above for the first cancellation were repeated in the second cancellation.
We reran the job by processing a single day’s worth of information and that ran fine. Then we ran it for two days of information, then for six days of information. Everything ran fine. During those tests no more than 70 MB of space of UNDO were used.
Our developer reported that last week he ran the job for nine days of information, the same amount as the job that cancelled twice today. He estimates that it ran for about 80 minutes and went to a normal end-of-job.
Can anyone here offer an explanation of why we seem to be getting these varied demands for space in the UNDO tablespace? Do you know if Microsoft DTS issues a commit after each insert or only a single commit at the end-of-job?
Thank you,
Bill

Data validation query change

hi experts
I got request to change one data validation query.
In the existing query,I see three parts...in top(first part) part,we have one query view from One cube.....when we come to middle part(second)..it has one query view from second cube.....finally,the third and bottom part contains some excel formulas which substract middle part(second) total from top part(first) total and shows the result....
so when I run the query it automatically populates top part(first) from one cube and second part(middle) from other cube and shows result in third and bottom part...
my change request is:
I donot need to change the top part(first)...I need to change middle part(second view from top)....but I donot know how to change this one....if I search on technical name of this whole Datavalidation query ...it just shows query corresponding the top part of this data validation query....
Please advise how to do this if any of you have idea

Hi,
You can write UDFs in java in Graphical mapping to enhance your XI Graphical mapping functionality
The steps for doing it would be:
1. Click on Create New function Button found on Bottom left corner on your XI Mapping window.
2. Write your java code.
3. Run the Mapping Test as usual.
>>The module that is given here ...where and how it is used.
The adapters in the Adapter Framework convert XI messages to the protocols of connected external systems and the other way around. When doing so, some
functionality might need to be added specific to a situation which is possible with the use of custom modules.
Typical example would be validation of file content when using a File Adapter or modification of the message payload to a common content structure which is not supported by any of the standard SAP modules.
An Adapter module is developed as an Enterprise Java Bean and is called locally by the Adapter.
An example on modules :
