Report parameters being passed in URL - invalid identifier error

Hi
Id anyone aware of any format in which we should be passing values in the url to the report deployed on the server?
A parameter that takes in the format 'e123','e234' - example for emp_id parameter.
If we pass in this form, even a single value as 'e123' in the url to run the report -
The value e123 is taken in single quotes and it displays the error
REP-300: "e123": invalid identifier
That is, it displays the error as if the string was entered in double quotes.

Hi, Aaron.
I tried what you said, and my code wouldn't parse correctly. Let me show you the whole module of PL/SQL that I'm dealing with here. I did not write this. This is something I'm maintaining and updating. The part that chokes is near the bottom.
declare
l_sql varchar2(4000) := 'select user_name,total from (select user_name,count(*) total from eba_ver2_cust_activity ' ;
begin
if :P23_START_DATE is not null and :P23_END_DATE is not null then
l_sql := l_sql || ' where ACTIVITY_DATE between ''' || to_char(to_date(:P23_START_DATE,'dd-mon-yyyy'),'dd-mon-yyyy')
|| ''' and ' || '''' || to_char(to_date(:P23_END_DATE,'dd-mon-yyyy') ,'dd-mon-yyyy') || '''' ;
elsif :P23_START_DATE is not null then
l_sql := l_sql || ' where ACTIVITY_DATE >= ''' || to_char(to_date(:P23_START_DATE,'dd-mon-yyyy'),'dd-mon-yyyy') ||
elsif :P23_END_DATE is not null then
l_sql := l_sql || ' where ACTIVITY_DATE <= ''' || to_char(to_date(:P23_END_DATE,'dd-mon-yyyy'),'dd-mon-yyyy') || ''''
end if;
if :P23_ACTIVITY_TYPE != '%null%' and :P23_ACTIVITY_TYPE is not null then
if :P23_START_DATE is not null or :P23_END_DATE is not null then
l_sql := l_sql || ' and activity_type_id = ' || :P23_ACTIVITY_TYPE ;
else
l_sql := l_sql || ' where activity_type_id = ' || :P23_ACTIVITY_TYPE ;
end if;
end if;
l_sql := l_sql || ' group by user_name )' ;
return l_sql ;
end ;
I appreciate all the help. As for the job market for Apex programmers around here, I wouldn't know. I was a COBOL programmer for many years. I'm approaching retirement, and this will probably be my last IT job.

Invalid Identifier error in Discoverer Workbook

Hi All,
I have created a workbook in Discoverer desktop containing 2 worksheets(2 Reports)in it.
After creating the first report I ran it and able to see the out put.
Then created the 2nd report and successfully gave the output.
After that if i switch to the first report(1st sheet) in the workbook it gives "ORA:09004 Invalid Identifier" Error and I am not able to run the report.
Then i closed the workbook and tried reopening. But that time it gives the following error,
"Unable to find the error text for this exception"
"Attempt to open workbook failed"
I have saved the workbook in the database.
Can anyone tell me what is the cause for this error? What is the solution for this errors? Whether the workbook will be lost permanently?
Thanks
Alaka

Hi,
What is "m_Xml" ?
Give us something we can use to reproduce the issue.
The query you gave cannot be run.

Invalid identified error in procedure

hi
I have a package that has a declare variable ,vfilename. I set the value of the variable vfilename to a file name for eg 'abc.txt' when the package scenario is callled. Now this file is the source for an interface that loads from this file to a target table. The interface has source datastore resource defined as a variable.
After running this interface a procedure is called that will update a metadata table where the record has file_name col value=vfilename.
to do this in the ODI procedure I am calling a plsql procedure as below
Begin
update_load_status(#vfilename)
end;
When this procedure runs I get an error as below
904 : 42000 : java.sql.SQLException: ORA-00904: "abc"."TXT": invalid identifier
If I call the procedure by hard coding the value i.e update_load_status('abc.txt'). It works fine.
I have tried concat etc but still the value is not getting passed correctly and I am getting the invalid identified error. Is there a way to get around this?

If you are saying this code -update_load_status('abc.txt'). work
then call the variable this way
Begin
update_load_status('#vfilename');
end;

Invalide identifier error, when use subselect

You may need to use something other than the contact_name in the order by in the row_number function if you require the values in specific columns, but given your sample data, I have no idea what that might be.

Why do I get a "DATE1 : ORA-00904 Invalid identifier" error ?

Hi,
Despite my efforts, I can't see why I get a "DATE1 : ORA-00904 Invalid identifier' error whith this request.
{code}With S1 as (
SELECT TRUNC(DATE1, 'MM'),
ROUND(SUM(VALEUR), 2)
FROM EVV_E036

The line in error is this one : {code}ON months.n = TRUNC(DATE1, 'MM'){code}
Any idea much appreciated !

hi,
I have done this and get no more errors. Now I see that the values I get are equal to 0. Or, I do get values different from 0 in my table ! I can't see why the left join gives 0. I have to dig this and come back tomorrow.

IKM MTI , invalid identifier error

Hi,
I am using employees table as my source and inserting data into employees_1,employees_2 and employees_3 target tables using IKM Multi Table insert.
I get an invalid identifier error on insert new rows step of the last interface:-
ODI-1228: Task INT_EMP3 (Integration) fails on the target ORACLE connection TARGET.
Caused By: java.sql.SQLSyntaxErrorException: ORA-00904: "C11_DEPARTMENT_ID": invalid identifier
Usually this error occurs when there is a type mismatch. I have checked the data type but there is no mismatch.
The code generated is :-
insert all
when 1=1 then
into TARGET.EMPLOYEES_1
(EMPLOYEE_ID, FIRST_NAME, LAST_NAME, EMAIL, PHONE_NUMBER, HIRE_DATE, JOB_ID, SALARY, COMMISSION_PCT, MANAGER_ID, DEPARTMENT_ID)
values
(C1_EMPLOYEE_ID, C2_FIRST_NAME, C3_LAST_NAME, C4_EMAIL, C5_PHONE_NUMBER, C6_HIRE_DATE, C7_JOB_ID, C8_SALARY, C9_COMMISSION_PCT, C10_MANAGER_ID, C11_DEPARTMENT_ID)
when 1=1 then
into TARGET.EMPLOYEES_2
(EMPLOYEE_ID, FIRST_NAME, LAST_NAME, EMAIL, PHONE_NUMBER, HIRE_DATE, JOB_ID, SALARY, COMMISSION_PCT, MANAGER_ID, DEPARTMENT_ID)
values
(C1_EMPLOYEE_ID, C2_FIRST_NAME, C3_LAST_NAME, C4_EMAIL, C5_PHONE_NUMBER, C6_HIRE_DATE, C7_JOB_ID, C8_SALARY, C9_COMMISSION_PCT, C10_MANAGER_ID, C11_DEPARTMENT_ID)

select
     C1_EMPLOYEE_ID EMPLOYEE_ID,
     C2_FIRST_NAME FIRST_NAME,
     C3_LAST_NAME LAST_NAME,
     C4_EMAIL EMAIL,
     C5_PHONE_NUMBER PHONE_NUMBER,

     C11_DEPARTMENT_ID DEPARTMENT_ID
from     ODI_WORK_PRERNA.C$_0EMPLOYEES_1
where     (1=1)
When i run this code at the back end after removing the column alias from the select statement, the query works fine. Otherwise it throws the same error at the backend as well.
Please let me know how to resolve this issue.
Thanks,
Prerna
P.S. For now i modified the km to generate a query without column alias and the interface is working fine. But i want to know why am i getting this error with the column alias.

If you see the insert statement the values you are defining are C1_column_name:
into TARGET.EMPLOYEES_1
(EMPLOYEE_ID, FIRST_NAME, LAST_NAME, EMAIL, PHONE_NUMBER, HIRE_DATE, JOB_ID, SALARY, COMMISSION_PCT, MANAGER_ID, DEPARTMENT_ID)
values
*(C1_EMPLOYEE_ID, C2_FIRST_NAME, C3_LAST_NAME, C4_EMAIL, C5_PHONE_NUMBER, C6_HIRE_DATE, C7_JOB_ID, C8_SALARY, C9_COMMISSION_PCT, C10_MANAGER_ID, C11_DEPARTMENT_ID)*
But when you are selecting data the alias names are different :
select
C1_EMPLOYEE_ID EMPLOYEE_ID,
C2_FIRST_NAME FIRST_NAME,
C3_LAST_NAME LAST_NAME,
C4_EMAIL EMAIL,
C5_PHONE_NUMBER PHONE_NUMBER,
C6_HIRE_DATE HIRE_DATE,
C7_JOB_ID JOB_ID,
C8_SALARY SALARY,
C9_COMMISSION_PCT COMMISSION_PCT,
C10_MANAGER_ID MANAGER_ID,
C11_DEPARTMENT_ID DEPARTMENT_ID
from     ODI_WORK_PRERNA.C$_0EMPLOYEES_1
where     (1=1)
It is a SQL problem. There is another example you can check i.e.
Select Employee_id from ( select employee_id c1_employee_id from employees);
When Employee_ID comes to the outer query its name is changed to c1_employee_id , so this sql will give you same error as invalid identifier.
Change the IKM again and provide same names or even remove the alias.
Hope it helps

Problem with empty report parameters when passed to PL/SQL function

Hi,
We have come across what appears to be a bug in the JRC. When passing a report parameter to a PL/SQL function as a parameter, empty parameters are changed before being sent to the function. More specifically, an empty string "" ends up as the value "(')" in the PL/SQL function parameter. In our report we print the report parameters on the first page so we know that the parameters are OK before being passed to the database.
The problem exists for version 12.2.203, 12.2.204 and 12.2.205 of the JRC.
We have identified a workaround, but it is not exactly elegant: Before executing the report we modify all empty parameters ("") to " " . In the PL/SQL function, we trim all parameters before using them.
We call the function using a command object with a sql syntax like this example:
select * from table (qa_batch_release.get_qa_br('{?p_report_id}','{?p_reg_set_number}','{?p_cr_number}','{?p_change_id_decode}','{?p_country_id}','{?p_mfg_item_no}','{?p_4_no}','{?p_5_no}','{?p_7_no}'))
The PL/SQL function is a table returning function.
Best regards, Thor

Hi Kishore,
using #COLUMN_VALUE# would probably not make much sense, because normally a report has multiple columns and not just the numeric column which you want to verify if it's negative. But APEX will fire the template condition for each column, because the report template is a column cell template.
What you can do to make it more generic is to use for example
#CHECK_AMOUNT#
in the template and provide a not displayed column in your SQL statement which contains your value which is named CHECK_AMOUNT. For example:
SELECT NAME
, BALANCE
, BALANCE AS CHECK_AMOUNT
FROM XXX;Because this CHECK_AMOUNT column would be a generic name, you can use this template in all your reports as long as you provide this column.
Thope that helps

INVALID IDENTIFIER error in SEQUEL statement

I'm having trouble with this SELECT statement in a report with search items. The search item in Question is the string "Email." Any activity record that has "Email" in the activity_type field is to be selected. The line of code is:
select user_name,total from (select user_name,count(*) total from eba_ver2_cust_activity where activity_type = Email group by user_name )
order by 2 desc,2 desc
There are some substitutions in here. The value "Email" is from :P23_ACTIVITY_TYPE on the page.
The error I get is:
failed to parse SQL query:
ORA-00904: "EMAIL": invalid identifier
The problem is that the String constant is being interpreted as an identifier name. Some sbustitutions are made to general the SELECT statement that fails. The relevant portion of the code generating the erroneous SELECT is:
if :P23_ACTIVITY_TYPE != '%null%' and :P23_ACTIVITY_TYPE is not null then
if :P23_START_DATE is not null or :P23_END_DATE is not null then
l_sql := l_sql || ' and activity_type_id = ' || :P23_ACTIVITY_TYPE ;
else
l_sql := l_sql || ' where activity_type_id = ' || :P23_ACTIVITY_TYPE ;
end if;
Either way, the contents of :P23_ACTIVITY_TYPE are treated as an identifier instead of a string. Please help.

Hi, Aaron.
I tried what you said, and my code wouldn't parse correctly. Let me show you the whole module of PL/SQL that I'm dealing with here. I did not write this. This is something I'm maintaining and updating. The part that chokes is near the bottom.
declare
l_sql varchar2(4000) := 'select user_name,total from (select user_name,count(*) total from eba_ver2_cust_activity ' ;
begin
if :P23_START_DATE is not null and :P23_END_DATE is not null then
l_sql := l_sql || ' where ACTIVITY_DATE between ''' || to_char(to_date(:P23_START_DATE,'dd-mon-yyyy'),'dd-mon-yyyy')
|| ''' and ' || '''' || to_char(to_date(:P23_END_DATE,'dd-mon-yyyy') ,'dd-mon-yyyy') || '''' ;
elsif :P23_START_DATE is not null then
l_sql := l_sql || ' where ACTIVITY_DATE >= ''' || to_char(to_date(:P23_START_DATE,'dd-mon-yyyy'),'dd-mon-yyyy') ||
elsif :P23_END_DATE is not null then
l_sql := l_sql || ' where ACTIVITY_DATE <= ''' || to_char(to_date(:P23_END_DATE,'dd-mon-yyyy'),'dd-mon-yyyy') || ''''
end if;
if :P23_ACTIVITY_TYPE != '%null%' and :P23_ACTIVITY_TYPE is not null then
if :P23_START_DATE is not null or :P23_END_DATE is not null then
l_sql := l_sql || ' and activity_type_id = ' || :P23_ACTIVITY_TYPE ;
else
l_sql := l_sql || ' where activity_type_id = ' || :P23_ACTIVITY_TYPE ;
end if;
end if;
l_sql := l_sql || ' group by user_name )' ;
return l_sql ;
end ;
I appreciate all the help. As for the job market for Apex programmers around here, I wouldn't know. I was a COBOL programmer for many years. I'm approaching retirement, and this will probably be my last IT job.

It gives an error while parsing: "XXXLOC"."LOC_ID" invalid identifier
LOC_ID is of numeric data type in the database. and when I run thi query in SQL editor after replacing "XXXLOC"."LOC_ID" with a numeric value say 456 . The query can be put as
((select name from (
select loc_id,name,row_number()over( order by r) rn from (
SELECT 0, loc_id, Misc1_txt NAME,'A' STATUS ,rownum r
                    FROM dvxloc
                   WHERE loc_id = 456                   union
SELECT     parent_loc_id, loc_id, (SELECT a.Misc1_txt
                                                     FROM dvxloc a
                                                    WHERE a.loc_id =b.loc_id) NAME,'B' ,ROWNUM
                        FROM dvxlocpath b
                  START WITH b.loc_id = 456                  CONNECT BY PRIOR parent_loc_id=loc_id
)                where name is NOT NULL        order by STATUS, R
) where rn = 1))
The above query runs flawlessly in a SQL editor. and also this is parsed by the crystal sql expression editer
I'm totally messed up of looking for altenatives. I have to deliver a report to the client and stuck on this part only.
The below query parses perfectly in crystal:
(select locname
from dvxloc where loc_id in(select loc3 from dvxlocpath
where loc_id = "XXXLOC"."LOC_ID"))

You said the above works in SQL Editor but does your original work?
((select name from (
select loc_id,name,row_number()over( order by r) rn from (
SELECT 0, loc_id, Misc1_txt NAME,'A' STATUS ,rownum r
FROM dvxloc
WHERE loc_id = "XXXLOC"."LOC_ID"
union
SELECT parent_loc_id, loc_id, (SELECT a.Misc1_txt
FROM dvxloc a
WHERE a.loc_id =b.loc_id) NAME,'B' ,ROWNUM
FROM dvxlocpath b
START WITH b.loc_id = "XXXLOC"."LOC_ID"
CONNECT BY PRIOR parent_loc_id=loc_id
) where name is NOT NULL order by STATUS, R
) where rn = 1))
Crystal does nothing to the SQL in the command editor, what you type in is what we pass.
What database are you connecting to? And if it has a tracing tool what SQL are you seeing from Crystal when you try to run the report?

Multi-row sub query returns ORA-00904 :invalid identifier error

I am creating a report from two tables that I am not joining. I want a single line for every row in table1 that meets a date range. Table2 can contain none or many rows for each recored in table1. I want to get up to two fields from table2.
I was using a case statement to check if there was data and then an in-line query or subquery. Once again, the idea is to have a single line on the report for each table1 record.
I get this error with the code below. It seems the nested multi-row subquery can not see the a.cr_mas_cr_no identifier.

Iceman,
Thanks for the reply I will try your suggestion.
I will try and explain why I think two subqueries (an in-line query with a subquery?) are required. I will use the creation of the column RTP #1 as the example as the RTP #2 column is only different in the rownum selected.
Looking only at the lines that fail, here is my analysis. (If I rem out the two case lines the query runs, I just don't get two columns of data I need.) I will only examine the first case as the second is changed to extract the second approval via the rownum = 2 criteria. The first statement checks there is at least one RTP approval stored for the request and then gets the user who approved the request if the test is true.
case when
(select count(appr_user) from crrm_cr_approvals where appr_cr_no =a.cr_mas_cr_no and appr_type = 'RTP') > 0
then
The above part works fine and the correct count of approvals is returned.
(select appr_user from (select * from crrm_cr_approvals where appr_cr_no=a.cr_mas_cr_no and appr_type = 'RTP') where rownum = 1)
end
"RTP #1",
I moved the parenthesis to the correct location. There can be multiple approvals for a given parent record. Some parent records need one, some need two approvals. If I replace
(select appr_user from (select * from crrm_cr_approvals where appr_cr_no =a.cr_mas_cr_no and appr_type = 'RTP') where rownum = 1)
with
(select appr_user from approvals where appr_cr_no =a.cr_mas_cr_no and appr_type = 'RTP' and rownum = 1)
The correct result is returned because it returns exactly one row as rownum=1 limits the query. When rownum = 2 then the query returns null as the rownum never gets to two as the rownum column is built via the set created by the second subquery.
The subquery builds a set of approvals for a specific "cr_no" and appr_type of "RTP". the outer query then looks at the rownum of the second query
Here is where I got the rownum information from;
http://www.oracle.com/technology/oramag/oracle/06-sep/o56asktom.html
So here is what I think is happening;
1. Main query From and Where are processed. This should provide the "set" for the query
2.The from subqueries for RTP #1 and RTP #2 should be able to access the a.cr_mas_cr_no field and build a set from the approvals table.
3.The RTP #1/2 subquery (inline maybe a better description?) would then get the correct row from the from subquery.
The error "invalid identifier" refers to the a.cr_mas_cr_no field. I assume it means it can not resolve the table alias inside the subquery.
So maybe your grouping would help, I will try.

You have a variable, nothing more. You DO NOT need dynamic SQL here, just trust me (then go read about it and learn why ... it will serve your career well to do some reading).
You don't need 2 cursors here, for lack of not wanting to try to decipher this in it's entirety i took a simple hack and utilized an IN clause.

ORA-00904 invalid identifier error

Here are the steps to reproduce this. My DB version is 9i R2.
1) create table xmlsun1 of xmltype;
2) create table xmlsun2 as select * from xmlsun1;
Two Tables of XML Type created successfully
3) insert into xmlsun1 values(xmltype('<employees><employee id="35"><FirstName>Tom</FirstName><LastName>Kyte</LastName></employee></employees>'));
4) insert into xmlsun2 values(xmltype('<employees><employee id="35"><FirstName>Tom</FirstName><LastName>Kyte</LastName></employee></employees>'));
Now when i query, i can see one record in each tables.
The problem is only when updation.
5) update xmlsun1 x
set value(x) = updatexml(value(x),'/employees/employee/@id','37')
where existsnode(value(x),'/employees/employee[FirstName = "Tom"]') = 1;
1 row updated
6) update xmlsun2 x
set value(x) = updatexml(value(x),'/employees/employee/@id','37')
where existsnode(value(x),'/employees/employee[FirstName = "Tom"]') = 1;
This updation fails with the error : ORA-01775: looping chain of synonyms
I tried to change alias of xmlsun2 to y
update xmlsun2 y
set value(y) = updatexml(value(y),'/employees/employee/@id','37')
where existsnode(value(y),'/employees/employee[FirstName = "Tom"]') = 1;
I get an error saying that Y is an invalid identifier. Now, how can i update the table xmlsun2? I can't use the alias x nor any other alias.
Thanks,
Sundar

I've filed bug 5560960 for this behavoir, which is still not what you are describing.. Do you have SYNONYMS defined somewhere in your example ?

Discoverer report :ORA -00904 Invalid Identifier

Hi ,
we are using an apps mode EUL (version4i) ,
in the business area "Account Receivables"--->Customer Transaction Lines Folder,
when we pull up any item from this folder to create a report, it shows a
"ORA-00904 Invalid Identifier " error
how to fix it , whether the Item might be Deleted in view definition of this folder,
just a refresh of the folder is enough ?
thanks in advance

Hi,
Refreshing the folder should be your first step.

Also I haved checked the following schedular tables in my database.
SQL> select table_name from all_tables where table_name like 'S_NQ%'
+2 /+
TABLE_NAME
S_NQ_ERR_MSG
S_NQ_INSTANCE
S_NQ_JOB_PARAM
S_NQ_JOB
SQL> select SEQ_NAME.CURRVAL FROM DUAL;
select SEQ_NAME.CURRVAL FROM DUAL

ERROR at line 1:
ORA-02289: sequence does not exist
Please help me out in solving this as I have tried almost all possible solutions.

Hello,
In the delivery email configuration server page (under BI Publisher Admin Tab), the username / password to enter is the one defined on the email server itself. It is the user that will be user to send the emails when scedhuling a report.
It may not be Administrator/ Administrator (not a user defined with OBI admin tool) but the username/password defined on the email server itself.
Moreover, to properly configure the BI Publisher Scheduler, it is a prerequistes to create bipsched user on Oracle DB and install the schema tables in Oracle DB (by clicking on Install Schema button after defining database connection under Admin / Scheduler Configuration tab)
From the error your are getting 'SEQ_NAME unknown..., it appears that the tables are not created'.
Hope this helps and good luck
