Regarding the Usage of oracle external tables.

HI All,
I am using POI API for generating Oracle external tables. If that excel sheet is having empty sheets then its throwing null pointer exception. Can anybody help me out in resolving this problem.
Thanks and Regards,
Venky

Do you use the technique described by Casimir Saternos in this OTN article?

How to create Oracle Table in DWB from Oracle external table

Dear all,
I have create Oracle External Table by using DWB. Kindly tell me steps that how could i able to import this external oracle table into internal oracle table now.
When I deploye this External table message arise "Name is using by an existing object.
any help would be ppreciated.
Thanks

In your database is there a table already existing with the same name as your external table? If there is then you can try and rename your external table in OWB and then deploy it again.
Then you can create a mapping with your source as the External Table Operator and the target as a Table Operator. When you run the mapping the data from the external table will be imported into the oracle table.
I hope this helps.

How do you set up csv as an oracle external table

How do you set up csv as an oracle external table?

Hi,
>>where do I specify which csv file to read from the external table..
Please, read either the link provided by Andrew or the link that I have posted in my previous post.
"# DEFAULT DIRECTORY - specifies the default location of files that are read or written by external tables. The location is specified with a directory object, not a directory path. See Location of Datafiles and Output Files for more information.
# LOCATION - specifies the location of the external data. The location is specified as a list of directory objects and filenames. If the directory object is not specified, then the default directory object is used as the file location."

Help needed regards the usage of STL.....with CC

Hi All,
I am relatively new to SOLARIS. I am trying to figure out the options for using the STL components in the project.
The project needs to be compiled with both CC ang g++, should support both SOLARIS and LINUX systems. That's why i am going for STL components rather than using the RW-Components of Tools.h++.
I have the following doubts regards the usage of STL.
CC provides the -library option to link the libraries we require.
The following is what i understood from the documentation:
No ( -library ) option provides - default libraries included -lCstd -lCrun -lm -lw -lcx -lc+
-library=iostream+ - libraries included -liostream -lCstd -lCrun -lm -lw -lcx -lc+
-library=iostream,no%Crun+ - libraries included -liostream -lCstd -lm -lw -lcx -lc+
-library=stlport4+ - libraries included -lstlport4 -lCrun -lm -lw -lcx -lc+
-library=iostream,no%Cstd+ - Invalid combination, some header files missing [[ *iostream, sstream* ]]
When we try to make a new project, which of the following is recommended?
#! - Use libCstd suppplied along with solaris package.
When solaris makes a new release, is it always guaranteed that project is compatible with new libCstd ? (Is there a backward compatibility?)
The STL components which can be used in the project are limited. i.e we can use only those that come along with libCstd.....right?
Might not be compatible with other c++ compilers. ( Not compatible with g++ ) Right?
#2 - Use libCStd along with libiostream
Can we use STL (supported by libCstd ) + Classic-iostreams and still have the backward-compatibility?
Compatible with other C++ compilers....provided care has been taken of the CC STL Specializations. ( Compatible with g++ ) Right?
#3 - Use stlport4. Is it stable and backward-compatible ?
We can exploit usage of STL to the maximum.
Is it guranteed that the project (using -library=stlport4 ) will be backward compatible ?
Can the SunStudio (ORACLE) organization gurantee that stlport will take care of the changes in the CPP standards ?
i.e Is it guranteed that STLPORT and SUN-STUDIO packages will always be in sync?
Among the above three which is preferred method to go ensuring stability and backward-compatibility.
Thanks in advance.
Cheers,
Sreekar

In general, you don't need any options to use the C++ Standard Library (which includes what is sometimes loosely called the "STL"). Consider this toy program:
// file vec.cc
#include <vector>
#include <iostream>
int main()
    std::vector<int> vi(10);
    vi[1] = 1;
    std::cout << "vi[1]=" << vi[1] << '\n';
}You can compile and run the program as either
CC vec.cc && a.out
g++ vec.cc && a.outWith CC, by default you get the original libCstd. You use the -library option to select STLport or (on or selected versions of Solaris) Apache stdcxx instead. With g++, you just get the g++ library libstdc++, which should be suitable for all purposes.
For a discussion of which library to select with CC, see this thread:
Differnce between LibCstd and LibStlport
The optional libiostream is provided to provide support for programs written for the very old version of iostreams that was provided with the original AT&T Cfront compiler in the 1980's and early 1990's. There is usually no reason to use this obsolete library with code written after 1998.
The Solaris libCstd.so.1 (and libCrun.so.1) is always compatible with various releases of Studio, with one caveat: Each Studio release specifies the minimum patch level of Solaris libraries that is required to run programs created by the compiler. Any newer version of the library is guaranteed to be compatible. Thus, it is always safe to update the library, and an update might be required when using binaries created by a newer compiler.
A version of the STLport library ships with the compiler. C++ binaries created by an older compiler that link to libstlport.so.1 should still work when linked into a program created by a newer compiler. Use of the static libstlport.a is generally not safe when mixing binary code from different compiler releases.
Binaries created by Studio CC in default mode are not compatible with binaries created by g++. Even if you can get a program to link, which is doubtful, the program is not likely to run correctly.
Studio CC does provide a g++ compatibility mode as follows:
On supported versions of Linux with Studio 12.2 (C++ 5.11).
On Solaris/x86 and supported versions of Linux with Studio 12.3 (C++ 5.12).
In this mode, CC uses the g++ headers and the g++ runtime libraries.
Refer to the -compat=g option in the C++ Users Guide for details.
We plan to support the new C++ Standard, C++11, in a future compiler release. Because the ABI (binary interface) used by the current compilers is not adequate to support all the new features in C++11, we expect binaries built in C++11 mode to be incompatible with binaries created by earlier compilers. None of the existing C++ support libraries will be used in C++11 mode. A new library that provides full C++11 support will be used instead. We expect the new compiler to continue to provide the current C++03 mode as an option, being source and binary compatible with our earlier compilers.

How to remove carraige return from the field while loading external table

I am facing an issue of not getting rid of carraige returns present in the fileds of the source .csv file while loading the records into external table.
I had tried using LRTRIM, but it does not help.
The error I am getting is:
KUP-04021: field formatting error for field POPULATION_DESCRIPTION
KUP-04037: terminator not found
I am pasting one record out of the .csv file which is causing this error as below:
"Business Card Accounts
",123,7 BizCard - Gamers,Control,"Business Card Accounts
",75270,75271
You can see the carraige return in the 1st field as well as 5th field. Filed are separated by commas & eclosed by double quotes.
Could anybody help on this please?

Can you copy the file to an external table only version, and then dos2unix it?
Alternatively, you can use the ACCESS PARAMETERS area in your external table definition to set that your RECORDS DELIMITED BY carriage returns, instead of the default.
Check out the example here http://www.psoug.org/reference/externaltab.html

Oracle External Table SELECT FROM problem from workstation

At Solaris Oracle database server console.
Created directory on the Solaris server as Oracle owner.
As SYS created oracle directory object on that Solaris directory
Granted read/write to SCHEMA_OWNER on that oracle directory object.
Using OS Oracle user, moved a tab-delimited flat file into the Solaris directory.
Logged on a SCHEMA_OWNER using SQLPLUS on the Solaris database server.
Ran external table script in SQLPLUS.
External table was created.
Ran Select * from ext_table.
Appropriate dataset returned.
So at the Oracle Solaris server console,
the create external table script worked without errors,
and a select from statement on the external table worked without errors.
Move to developer workstation:
Logged on as SCHEMA_OWNER using SQLPLUS on Windows workstation.
TNSNAMES of course points to the Solaris database server.
Ran the external table script in SQLPLUS.
External table was created.
Ran Select * from ext_table.
This failed with these errors:
ORA29913 error executing ODCIEXTTABLEOPEN callout
ORA29400 data cartridge error
cant open logfile.log
OS permission denied
ORA06512 sys.oracle_loader line 19
So how can I select from external tables from a windows workstation?
Any guidance on this problem would be appreciated.

Thank you for your response.
I am not creating the external table on the workstation.
In both cases,
from the Solaris console
and from the Windows workstation
the external table is being created on the Solaris file system
in an Oracle Directory object
running an SQL script from SQLPLUS prompt.
The external table creator, schema owner, has read and write permissions
granted by SYS on the oracle directory object.
The problem is:
Logged in as the schema owner,
you can select * from ext_table from the Solaris console SQLPLUS,
but you can not select * from ext_table from the Windows workstation SQLPLUS.
You can DROP TABLE ext_table from the Windows workstation SQLPLUS.
You just cannot select * from ext_table from the Windows workstation SQLPLUS.
I guess as a test,
I can drop from the ext_table creation script the references
to discardfile, badfile, and logfile,
and remove this other file objects from the equation...
which appears to be a file permissions problem.

Regarding the usage of HR_INFOTYPE_OPERATIONS function module in ECM badi i

Hi All,
We have requirement where we need to update the infotype 0015 while implementing the badi 'HRECM00_ACTIVATION'.
To achieve this functionality we are calling the HR_INFOTYPE_OPERATION function module to update the infotype 15. But we are getting the runtime error.
Can some one suggest how to solve this issue.
Thanks & Regards,
Sreelatha Gullapalli.

thanx for ur reply...
But i want to use Transmission Medium 5 only as i have the requirement to Send the data as an EMAIL or FAX depending on the Communication Method specified in the Partner Number.
Actually SAP Help also explains the usage of this medium using the same requirement as mine... but then it never anywhere specified on how the Print Program will be...
I also checked the standard output type CPAC used in Application V7 to which transmission medium 5 is assigned. And the print program assigned to this output type has no coding on sending the email using the FM. So i am very very confused.... I have seen few postings in this forum on this topic.. but not clear enuf to clarify my confusion...
Kind Regards,

Is there a cookbook for Float ad Double?
Thomas Lieber

What I usually do in situations like this is that I connect to the database using a sql client and the same connection information as I specified to OIM and see if the attribute is present.
Perhaps you got the wrong db name? Or schema name?
Everything looks good so most probably there simply is some little typo somewhere.
Hope this helps
