Reading Timestamp value into an SSIS variable

I need to read the last timestamp value (MAX(TimeStampValue)) from a table, store it in a variable in SSIS and using the variable, perform a comparison against another table and load delta records.
The string data type is not playing well with the timestamp data type and things get even more complicated if I try to store the timestamp value as a varchar in a table.
Is there any variable data types in SSIS that will store the timestamp value easier than a string?

It could be due to the time stamp value being incompatible with the date time functions which you need to fix.
So to make it conform manipulate on its value to get the proper format.
PS: Varchar WILL swallow any text, please be more specific, think how others would be reproducing YOUR issue.

Read the value of user input variable during calculation of virtual char

Hello
Virtual characteristics is populated in custom BAPI based on values specified by user in the variable screen.
How to read the value of user input variable outside the user exit for custom variables?
The one way is to create faked user exit variable, read the value of user input variable in corresponding FM and insert it into table. Then value of this variable will be derived from the table.

How to read RGB values into Set

Hi,
I have been told that to count the total number of unique colors in an image is by reading each pixel RGB values into a set.
I have checked this and it is true that the set can do this fine if considering only either one channel of the R,G or B (this does not allow me to know the exact number of color exist). However, I am confuse on how to have all three R, G and B values into a set so that the set can consider the whole 3 values of RG and B as a color which can then be differentiated separately.
I think pixelgrabber allow to getPixel RGB values but I am working with JIU getsample method. Perhaps I missed out other methods in JIU which have the same functionality as in pixelGrabber.
I am working on an image analysis so I need to figure out this out first.
I am hoping anyone can help me out with this and I thank you.

as mentioned, pack the rgb values into an integer.
instead of a set, you will get better performance and
memory useage using a sorted, dynamically allocated
int array. With some minor work, you better this
structure by using more than one sorted array and a
cheap rgb mask hashing mechanism. I don't know what
JIU is, but look at the source of java.awt.Color for
details on how to pack/unpack rgb values.Hi,
Thank for your feedback. I have tried to pack the rgb values into an integer. At the moment I just making used of Set (will look into probably ArrayList after I get the rgb values correct). However, I am not sure whether my code is correct (which I doubt) or not. Not sure how the output looks like that. If you could have a look at it and confirm me, I would be very much thanking you.
the code snippet:
public void countColour() {
int r, g, b;
int[] rgb1DArray = new int[h * w];
int[] rgb = new int[4];
Set set = new HashSet();
int alpha = 255;
for (int i = 0, cnt = 0; i < w; i++) {
for (int j = 0; j < h; j++) {
r = intImg.getSample(0, i, j);
g = intImg.getSample(1, i, j);
b = intImg.getSample(2, i, j);
System.out.println(r+ "," g "," +b); // just checking rgb values
//rgb[0] = alpha;
rgb[1] = r;
rgb[2] = g;
rgb[3] = b;
System.out.println(rgb[0]+ "," rgb[1] "," rgb[2] "," +rgb[3]);
rgb1DArray[cnt] = ((rgb[1])<<16)|
((rgb[2]<<8))|(rgb[3]);
System.out.println("rgb["+cnt+"] :" +rgb1DArray[cnt]);
output:
Image file size is 230 x 236
204,221,203
0,204,221,203
rgb[0] :13426123
204,212,191
0,204,212,191
rgb[1] :13423807

Reading a value into a variable

How can I fill a variable with an integer from the keyboard??
Using the codeline
var = (int)System.in.read; System.in.read;System.in.read;
I don�t get the number but the aschii code for the character.
Why??
DEADOC

You get the ascii code because thats what System.in reads.
Read a string and then parse it into an int
StringBuffer sb = new StringBuffer();
int i;
while ((i = System.in.read()) != 10 && i != 13) { // read until you hit enter
sb.append((char)i);
String s = sb.toString(); // the string you entered
int var = Integer.parseInt(s); // will throw an exception if the string cannot be parsed to an int
System.out.println("You entered: "+var); // print the integer value

Child package cannot read param value from parent ssis package

Hi all,
I think I must be crazy !! i have a big problem in my ssis project .
i have more than 40 package one parent and 39 childs
i use configuration method to get variable values from parent to child packages and it work well .. but when i copy my ssis project
to the production server i face the following problem .. childs package didn't read the variables values from the parent package
i revised the configuration many times i can't find any missing !!
any help please ...
Thanks,

Do not copy the packages from the projet to the production server, but you must generate the manifest installation including your configuration, and deploy them.
Note : not forget to include the configuration.

Passing struts-tag value to java / javascript variable in JSP

Hello all,
Im trying to pass the value got from the struts-tag to the java variable in the Jsp. However Im not able to get the o/p. Can u guys help me on this pls...
<logic:notEmpty name="TreeBean" property="list">
    <logic:iterate id="Type" name="TreeBean" property="list" indexId="i">
     <br/><bean:write name="Type" />
    </logic:iterate>
</logic:notEmpty>Here the list can be populated in the jsp page. However i want the values into jsp list. Im not able to populate the same..
<% List jspList = null;
%> I want the values into the jspList variable for further processing. Can u guz pls help me on this....

Which do you want it in?
A java variable for use in <% scriptlet code %> or a javascript variable for use on the client end?
scriptlet:
<jsp:useBean id="TreeBean" type="java.util.List" class="java.util.ArrayList" scope="?????" />
Having scriptlet code on the page is considered bad coding style.
What is it you are trying to accomplish by making the value accessible?
What are you trying to do in java / javascript that can't be done with JSP tags?

How to execute a function and return the result into a bind variable

Hi,
I am trying to calculate the sum of salaries of all persons with a particular JOB_ID using a function TOTAL_INCOME(v_job_id).
create or replace function total_income
+(v_job_id IN varchar2)+
RETURN number IS
v_total number(6);
cursor get_sal is
select salary from employees
where job_id = v_job_id;
BEGIN
v_total := 0;
for emp in get_sal
loop
v_total := v_total emp.salary;+
end loop;
dbms_output.put_line('Total salary of '||v_job_id||' is: '|| v_total);
return v_total;
END;
Now I woud like to execute this function and assign the returned value into a bind variable test_sal
variable test_sal number(6)
SELECT total_income('AD_VP') into :test_sal FROM DUAL;
dbms_output.put_line('Total Sal:'||:test_sal);
This is returning the below errors:

Error at line 0
ORA-01036: illegal variable name/number
dbms_output.put_line('Total Sal:'||:test_sal);
Error at line 3
ORA-00900: invalid SQL statement
Could someone help me what could be the problem?? Thanks for your time...

Dear,
If everything you will do will be done inside PL/SQL (stored procedure or stored function) then you don't have to care about bind variable.
When using PL/SQL (static SQL) you will never encounter issues related to bind variables. PL/SQL itself takes care of your code and uses bind variables behind the scene.
The only situation where you have to look carefully to the use of bind variables within PL/SQL is when you use Dynamic sql into stored procedures or functions.
So, see in the light of the above comment, if you have to care about returning your function into a bind variable?
Best regards

Saving the output of JSTL into a java variable

Hi All, Apologies if this has been asked before, but i've been looking for an answer to this question for 2 hours and can't find anything..
I have a simple JSP page which queries a database. The database will only return one value, which is printed out perfectly with:
<c:forEach var="row" items="${qryPosts.rows}">
<c:set var="email" value="${row.email}" />
<c:out value="${row.email}" />
</c:forEach>
First question: Do i have to go through all this if I know there will only ever be one value returned from my SQL statement?
Second question: How can I get the returned value into a JSP variable, so I can use it in my java code.
Thanks very much to anyone who can help,
Regards,
Brett

First a couple of disclaimers. If you've been looking through this forum, you've probably come across these pointers before.
- don't use SQL in a JSP page. It should be in a Servlet/Bean.
- don't mix JSTL and scriptlet code within a JSP. It makes the page even worse than scriptlet alone.
Those are just recommendations based on my experience, and best practice.
Having said that, here are the answers to your questions
1 - No, you don't need to have a forEach loop
If you know that there will be one and only one result returned, you can get at it via the expression
${qryPosts.rows[0].email}
With regards to getting it out to java code
<c:set var="email" value="${qryPosts.rows[0].email}"/>
and then you can use this:
<jsp:useBean id="email" type="java.lang.String"/>
or scriptlet code like this:
<%
String email = pageContext.findAttribute("email");
%>

Without using applets geting the output into a javascript variable

Hi,
I'm not using executeCommand applets in my webpage,but with the url
i'm running the transaction. I'm passing the url to iframe as a <b>src</b> in the same page itself. like
<b>document.getElementById("<iframe>").src="http://localhost/Lighthammer/Runner?Transaction=<Transaction_Name>&<Input_params>=<value>&OutputParameter=*"</b>. It will take 10 seconds to execute the transaction and load into the iframe.
So I'm giving the
<b>SetTimeout("alert(document.getElementById('<iframe>').docuemnt.body.innerHTML",10000);</b>
In the iframe i'm able to see the output as "<u>oktransaction executed</u>" in <u>xml format</u>.
But in the alert I'm not able to see the same content. <i>In the alert I'm able to see</i>
<u><iframe id="<id of iframe>" src="<Which i set in the script>"></iframe></u>
Help me to get the OutputParameter value into a javascript variable.

Rakesh,
A couple of observations:
1. Why are you calling Runner directly? You should be using an XacuteQuery template, and reference "/Lighthammer/Illuminator?QueryTemplate=Folder/TRX" syntax when changing the URL in the iFrame.
2. You are also using "localhost" which is not portable and may also be causing your problem since your parent page will be based upon the server path, whereas you are forcing the browser to load localhost content into the iFrame (which unless you are physically sitting on the xMII server itself will never work).

Jeremy Good

It will be great, if you could explain in detail.
other thing i found out is in Initialization method i can read i_t_data_charsel table values , where it contains filter slected values.but could not pass these values to execute method
Is there is any way that i can pass values from init method to execute method.
A tabular structured parameter with name "MY_TABSTRUC" is defined for the function type. "MY_TABSTRUC" consists of the two parameter components "MY_ELEM" and "MY_DATASEL". You access the parameter values as follows:

       L_VAL(20)          TYPE C,
       TAB_SEL            TYPE RSPLF_T_CHARSEL.
get table of parameter MY_TABSTRUC:
TAB_PARAM_STRUC = I_R_PARAM_SET->GET_TAB_PARAM_STRUC( 'MY_TABSTRUC' ).
process all lines:

Store multiple values into a variable

I was wondering if it was possible to store multiple values into one varaible. Something along the lines of...
Oracle: 10g
--Table xSample (this is obviously a dumbed down version of the table for the sake of showing what I want to accomplish
S_ID   YEAR
1         2009
2         2009
3         2009
4         2009
--Query
select     s_id
into       pID
from      xSample
where    year = 2009;Basically the reason I was trying to figure out how to store multiple values into a variable is b/c I was going to use that variable (pID) as a parameter and have it's values passed dynamically when the proc was called. The values would go into a query that would look something like:
select *
from cust_data
where person_id in (pID)
aka
select *
from cust_data
where person_id in (1,2,3,4)Not sure if this is possible, but if anyone knows of a way I could accomplish this that would be great.
Edited by: user652714 on Dec 23, 2009 9:37 AM

Here's a basic idea building a comma seperated list, then consuming it in another query (taking the in list approach from Tom's post, linked earlier).
create table xsample (s_id number not null, year number);
insert into xsample select level, 2009 from dual connect by level <=4;
commit;
declare
   --4000 should be lots ... hopefully?
   v_parameter_list varchar2(4000);
begin
--create the comma seperated list
select
    substr(max(sys_connect_by_path(s_id, ',') ), 2, 4000)
into
    v_parameter_list
from
    select s_id, row_number() over(order by 1) as rn
    from xsample
    where year = 2009
start with rn = 1
connect by prior rn = rn - 1;
--consume the comma seperated list
for x in
    with data as
      select
        trim( substr (txt,
        instr (txt, ',', 1, level ) + 1,
        instr (txt, ',', 1, level+1)
        - instr (txt, ',', 1, level) -1 ) ) as token
      from
        select ','||v_parameter_list||',' txt
        from dual
      connect by level <= length(v_parameter_list)-length(replace(v_parameter_list,',',''))+1
    select *
    from xsample
    where s_id in (select * from data)
loop
    dbms_output.put_line('next item = ' || x.s_id);
end loop;
end;
