Set party number sequence with a specific value

Hi all,
I have a requirement to start the customer party number sequence from a specific number, so whenever a new customer is created the party number will be above a certain value. Any suggestions on how I can do that?
Thanks, Mike.

Thanks for the feedback. I got it with following SQL statements to start from 700000.
alter sequence ar.HZ_PARTY_NUMBER_S increment by 700000 ;
select HZ_PARTY_NUMBER_S.nextval from dual ;
alter sequence ar.HZ_PARTY_NUMBER_S increment by 1 ;

How to export image sequence with a specific number

Hello
I'm looking how, like in after, I can export an image sequence with a starting specific number. I spend hours to rename images with Renamer, boring, stupid!
Thank you for helping

Use Bridge. You can do them all at once with Batch Rename.

Checking a number sequence with regular expressions

Hello,
Suppose I have a text in the pattern:
A1=ha,A2=bla,A3=cha,...
I don't know how many sections of "A#=$" (# denotes number, $ denotes text) will be in the text, but I want to verify that the numbers of the A's form the natural ascending number sequence (i.e 1,2,3,...). I prefer to use regular expressions to do this, but if there's another way, I will be glad to hear it too.
Therefore my question is: How can I use regular expressions to check for a sequence of numbers? I know I can search for groups I've caught previously in the expression, but how can I compute the next number in the sequence from the group and search for the result?
Thank you very much!

What I'd do--and I'm not saying this is optimal, just what pops immediately to mind--is have a regex that matches "A(\\d+)=" (assuming the ha, bla, cha can never be "A1" etc.--if they can, you can still do it, but it's more complicated), then you iterate with the Matcher, and each time, you get the Integer.valueOf what you matched. You keep track of the last value, and compare the current to the last. If current is < last (or <= last, depending on your requirements), fail.
Something like this. I don't recall Matcher's methods off the top of my head, so you'll have to fix the details.
Matcher m = Pattern.matcher("A(\\d+)=");
int maxSoFar = Integer.MIN_VALUE;
while (m.matches(input)) {
    int current = Integer.parseInt(m.getMatchedField("$1"));
    if (current <= maxSoFar) {
        // fail
    else {
        maxSoFar = current;
} maxSoFar =

Override web.xml With Server Specific Values

Not sure if here or the OC4J/J2EE forum is most appropriate place for this question:
We're currently working on migrating from the old jserv setup to 9.0.4 app server with OC4J. We have the infrastructure installed and are managing the application through Enterprise Manager. In my web.xml file I provide initialization parameters to one of my servlets using something similar to the following:
<servlet>
<servlet-name>util.GlobalPropertyManager</servlet-name>
<servlet-class>util.GlobalPropertyManager</servlet-class>
<init-param>
<param-name>mhris.batch.outputdir</param-name>
<param-value>d:/dev/java/mhris/defaultroot/batch/</param-value>
</init-param>
</servlet>
Now, this directory path I've provided is only good on my local workstation. When I deploy to my UNIX production servers, I need to override this with a valid path depending on the server being deployed to (no, they don't all have the same directory setup, yeah it's a pain). These servers include our production boxes, development server, test, training, etc.
Currently under JSERV, I provide server specific values in the Global Init Parameters section of my property file (don't remember why we didn't use the Servlet Init Parameters property instead). This works very well since this file is not touched when we land updates, so the values are set once for each server.
Under OC4J, I understand that I can override the values in web.xml by using an orion-web.xml file BUT it appears that this file resides in the WAR I deploy, so each server will get the same orion-web.xml rather than maintaining its own set of values.
Is there another .xml file I can use to provide these initalization parameters? global-web-applications.xml looked promising but I wasn't completely sure I could put values for my application in it or where exactly they should go (ie. inside the existing <web-app> section or if I should create a second one specifically for my app).
Any ideas or will I have to reploy a different orion-web.xml file to each of my servers?
Appreciate the assistance,
Michael

Michael,
First, I would just modify the web.xml during each deployment.
Second, I would recommend using the same relative path with the web-app context. Then, you can use the Servlet API to retrive the real path of the web-app context.
I don't think it is necessary to use orion-web.xml or other properties files.

How to count ONLY fields with a specific value

I modified the code below from the API reference to count combobox fields with a value of "MT" so I could total the number of a specific choice the form user input.
var count = 0;
for (var i=0; i<this.numFields; i++)
var fname = this.getNthFieldName(i);
if ( this.getField(fname).type == "combobox" && this.getField(fname).value == "MT" ) count++;
this.getField("mTurb").value = count.value;
Here's the problem: I tried to use a similar script, modified only slightly from this form, in another total field to tally a different choice made with comboboxes and the script continues to tally the first choice. An example of one of the modified versions of the script is below.
var gcount = 0;
for (var i=0; i<this.numFields; i++)
var gname = this.getNthFieldName(i);
if ( this.getField(gname).type == "combobox" && this.getField(gname).value == "MT" ) gcount++;
this.getField("gPack").value = gcount.value;
I suspect I'm just missing something painfully obvious to seasoned scripters, but I can't seem to figure it out and I need this script to be able to count the number of 9 different options in the comboboxes.

OK, you can use a script like the following as the custom calculate script for the text fields that perform the counts:
// Custom calculate script for text field
(function () {
    // Declare and initialize variables
    var fn, s = "MT", count = 0;
    // Loop through the combo boxes
    for (var i = 1; i < 25; i++) {
        // Determine the current field name
        fn = "M" + util.printf("%02d", i));
        // See if the field value matches
        if (getField(fn).valueAsString === s) count++
    // Set this field value to the count
    event.value = count;
Change the value of the "s" variable to match the item that you want to count. The first and last lines prevent the unnecessary creatio of global variables, which is good. It also makes it easy to transfer to a more general document-level routine, which would be event better, something like:
// Custom calculate script for text field
function getCBCount(s) {
    var fn, count = 0;
    // Loop through the combo boxes
    for (var i = 1; i < 25; i++) {
        // Determine the current field name
        fn = "M" + util.printf("%02d", i));
        // See if the field value matches
        if (getField(fn).valueAsString === s) count++
    // Set this field value to the count
    event.value = count;
You would then call this function from the individual text boxes with the following custom calculate script:
getCBCount("MT");
and replace "MT" with the vlaue you want to count.

Invalid number error - with comma separated values

FUNCTION fn_check_value(
p_ids_in IN VARCHAR2
RETURN NUMBER
IS
v_nCheckValue NUMBER;
CURSOR vCur
IS
SELECT COUNT(*)
FROM t1
WHERE col_id IN (p_ids_in); -- col_id is number field
BEGIN
OPEN vCur;
FETCH vCur INTO v_nCheckValue;
CLOSE vCur;
Return v_nCheckValue;
END fn_check_value;
I get following error when the input is 3,4. Works fine with single value
Execution failed: ORA-01722: invalid number

If you have more than one number in the list being passed in through p_ids_in then you could try the following
CURSOR vCur
IS
SELECT COUNT(*)
FROM t1
where
INSTR(chr(44) || p_ids_in || chr(44), chr(44) || col_id || chr(44) ) > 0;
This will do pattern matching and will return a true if the pattern matches.
For example, if p_ids_in = '3,4'
then INSTR (',3,4' , ',3,') > 0 will return a true.
This approach is useful if you have more than one value inside a string.

Distribute Layers with a Specific Value

I found this old post where Paul Riggot created this wonderful and very useful script, something I was looking for, but just wondering if I can request for some few updates to it.
1) Seems like this does not work properly with CC version, works with my cs4. Is it possible to support CC? The spacing distances are really off...
2) The distances between layers are not exactly the same as specified in the dialog, is it possible to make it more accurate. So for example, if I specified 23px for the horizontal gaps, when i measure it gives me 25px.
3) On first time, is it possible to make the horizontal and vertical input fields have zero? Right now it defaults to 10px for each.
Here's the original binary code, which you have to copy and paste into a text file and change the file type to be "filename.jsx" to work.

Thx.

Thanks, I've read in the forums that Paul has stopped being active anymore which is a big shame. I did find his site with the source file for this distribute script. I just hope maybe someone here can help to support CC version, work properly and make it more accurate. It's a great script but its very important to make exact spacing values. Other wise, this is no better than the built in distribute tools of Photoshop.
here's the script code:

Same Sequence# with different applied value in v$archived_log

Hi everyone,
I have an issue with one of the dataguard servers here.
Basically, looking at the v$managed_standby, it is still applying the latest archived log sequence.
However when I checked for unapplied archived log from v$archived_log, I found at least 1 sequence# which was quite old (around a few days old) not applied.
my query to check this is:
SELECT sequence# from v$archived_log where applied = 'NO';result:
SEQUENCE#
    40154
    40546with a different query I found an interesting result
select sequence#, recid, stamp, status, applied from v$archived_log where sequence# in (40154, 40546);result:
SEQUENCE#      RECID      STAMP S APP
    40154       8093 777156019 D NO
    40154       8095 777156053 D YES
    40546       8486 777673729 D NO
    40546       8487 777673734 D YESAt the time I ran this query, the v$managed_standby are as follow:
select process, status, sequence# from v$managed_standby;result:
PROCESS   STATUS        SEQUENCE#
ARCH      CLOSING           40562
ARCH      CLOSING           40557
MRP0      APPLYING_LOG      40563
RFS       IDLE                  0
RFS       IDLE              40563A simple solution to get those un-applied archived log to be applied is to restart the standby database instance.
Another finding from the production database:
select recid, stamp, sequence#, creator, registrar, standby_dest from v$archived_log where sequence# in (40154, 40546);result:
RECID      STAMP SEQUENCE# CREATOR REGISTR STA

45450 777156051      40154 ARCH    ARCH    YES
46231 777673709      40546 ARCH    ARCH    NO
46232 777673728      40546 LGWR    LGWR    YES
46233 777673733      40546 ARCH    ARCH    YESThe question is of course, why is this happening?
Can this be prevented?
Thank you,

Even if old archives applied or not, it will keep transfer the archivelogs from primary. Please confirm that you been executed above query in standby.. is it?Yes I ran it from the standby database

How many remote/standby destinations you have in your DR setup?
Might this query you have executed in primary, You should always use DEST_ID when executing from primary (or) do check in standby database, Because the applied column you have to check in standby , If you see above the same sequence showing applied in one destination & not applied on other instance, so please do select for dest_2 or in standby.I have only 1 standby destination.
The query above was executed in the standby database server as well as to show that the same sequence# has different result in the applied column.
CKPT wrote:

Can this be prevented?What is your Online redo log file size (or) how much average archive log file size?
This issue happens when Network glitch while transferring archives from primary to standby RFS , So when is big enough in such conditions it will be in status can be WAIT_FOR_LOG.
BTW, which redo transport you are using? -- recommended to use LGWR
Is there any network problem?
check for exact problem either from primary alert log file or from below query,
SQL> select severity,error_code,message,to_char(timestamp,'DD-MON-YYYY HH24:MI:SS') from v$dataguard_status;
SQL> select sequence#, to_char(completion_time,'DD-MON-YYYY HH24:MI:SS') from v$archived_log where sequence# in (40154, 40546);
HTH.The redolog file size is 100MB and so does the archive log file size.
I'm using LGWR ASYNC
these are the result of the query which I modified slightly:
query:
select severity,error_code,message,to_char(timestamp,'DD-MON-YYYY HH24:MI:SS') from v$dataguard_status where message like '%40154%' or message like '%40546%';result:

It appeared to me that sequence 40546 has been sent twice, by LNS and ARC1.

Why does the primary database has to send twice?

ORDER BY with a Specific value first

I am creating an Employee Contact page in ASP that populates a table with a SQL query (command). I want to sort the employees by last name (which is obviously an easy SORT BY property), but I need to show the Managers first. How can I display
employees that have 'Managers' in their 'Job Title' first, then the rest of the employees by last name.

create table #t (id int, title char(1))
insert into #t values (4,'A')
insert into #t values (2,'M')
insert into #t values (3,'D')
insert into #t values (1,'M')
insert into #t values (5,'M')
insert into #t values (6,'e')
insert into #t values (7,'X')
select * from #t order by
case when title ='m' then 1 end desc, title

Compare column to another column with a specific value?

What i need to do is compare a column that holds the SiteNames of holidays to another column with the DifficultyDescription of holidays.
I want to show that sites that are not included in boldANY*bold* holiday with an “easy” or “moderate” rating.
Some of my SiteNames have holidays with different difficulty ratings....
e.g Yellowstone National Park(SiteName) - H2 - Moderate(DifficultyDescrip)
Yellowstone National Park(SiteName - H3 - Strenuous(DifficultyDescrip)
In this example i would want Yellowstone not to be in the results of my query as one of its results is 'moderate'.
I want to show holidays that are not in boldANY*bold* holiday with 'easy' or 'moderate'
Here is my attempt so far...
select it220_holdet.holcode.holcode as holcode
         it220_holdet.diffdetails.diffdescrip as diffdescrip
         it220_sitedetails.sitename as sitename
from it220_holidaydetails it220_holidaydetails,
etc....
where it220_sitedetails.sitename != it220_diffdetails.diffdescrip = 'Easy' <<<< where the sitename is not equal to a difficulty description of 'Easy'
and     it220_sitedetails.sitename != it220_diffdetails.diffdescrip = 'Moderate' <<<< where the sitename is not equal to a difficulty description of 'Moderate'
Is the logic of this correct? The error message i am getting is SQL command not properly ended.
Is this more of a syntax problem than logic. Any help would be great.
Thanks in advance!

Hi,
Ok,
Problem is in this part of query
where   "IT220_HOLIDAYDETAILS"."DIFFRATING"="IT220_DIFFDETAILS"."DIFFCODE"
and      "IT220_HOLIDAYDETAILS"."HOLCODE"="IT220_LOOKUP_SITEHOLIDAY"."HOLCODE"

and "IT220_SITEDETAILS"."SITENAME" = "IT220_DIFFDETAILS"."DIFFDESCRIP"
Check are you joining correct columns.
And remove possibility that tables values are in different cases
SELECT "IT220_HOLIDAYDETAILS"."HOLCODE" AS "HOLCODE",

Setting the Previous row with New row value

Dear All,
I have a af:showDetailItem in which i have a af:table where i can add the Warranty details of Products in which i have:
eg:
Product | WEF | ValidUntil
================================================
Prod1 | 01-05-11 | 01-06-11
Prod2 | 02-06-11 |
Here i want to enter the "Valid Until" only when i create an entry for new Warrenty details and enter the WEF.ie Valid Until will be WEF-1 of the next row.
so any idea of how to solve this problem.?
Regards,
Soya.

Hi,
Aren't effective-dated entities used to create a new column based on some existing column in the same row.
But my need is to set the value of the previous row when the new row is inserted.
Product | WEF | ValidUntil
================================================
Prod1 | 01-05-11 | *01-06-11*
Prod2 | *02-06-11* |

Setting gaps to specific values

I want to set gaps between object (rectangles) to specific values. I want to be able to enter a value rather than use gap tool, Ctrl+drag.
I'd also like to be able to lock this gap if that is in any way possible.
How do I do this?

Ok, yes, thank you Rob, that worked wonderfully. Do you know how it decides it anchoring point when it distributes? Right now it just moves the lower object down and the more right object to the right, while the objects in the upper left always stay put.

How can I replace column value with a particular value in SQL

Hi All,
Can anyone please tell me how can I format my output with replacing a column value with a specific value which actually depends on the present value of the column
I am executing the following SQL statement
select state,count(id) from <table_name> where composite_dn= <composite_dn_name> group by state;
My Present output is:
State No.Of Instance
1 3
3 28
I want to replace the value in the column state as follows
State No.OfInstances
Completed 3
Faulted 28
I want "1" to be reppaced by "Completed" and "3" to be replaced by "Faulted"
Is is possible with SQL or PL/SQL , if it is then how can I achieve this required result. Please help!!
Thanks in Advance!!

Hi Roshni,
I guess this CASE clause can be simulated by a DECODE and also it is very easy to use.
Refer -- http://www.techonthenet.com/oracle/functions/decode.php
select decode(t1.state,t2.state_id,t2.state_name), t1.count_id
from <table_2> t2, (select state,count(id) count_id
from <table_name>
where composite_dn= <composite_dn_name>
group by state) t1
where t1.state = t2.state_id;HTH

        Dim oEdit As SAPbouiCOM.EditText
        Dim oItem As SAPbouiCOM.Item, sValue As String
     'This line worked in previous versions but fails in 8.8.1
     sValue = oForm.Items.Item("cEditText").Specific.Value
     'This works in 8.81 as well as previous versions.
                     oItem = oForm.Items.Item("cEditText")
                     oEdit = oItem.Specific
                     sValue = oEdit.Value
Has anyone else encountered this? Have I got something set up wrong or is the ".Specific.Value" syntax no longer supported.
Thanks for any comments on this.

Siva,
Yes the code you provided also works. Thanks.
I don't see why SAP made a change that causes working code to now fail. We are supporting a large app that has used the syntax in many different places and it will be a pain to go through and make the changes.
Does anyone know if this was intentional? Will it possibly be restored in a future release?

Check number sequence - previous record variable

Post Author: rmhogan

I am trying to highlight a record that is out of number sequence with the previous record. I am guessing that I need to create 2 variables (one for the current number and one for the previous number). I cannot seem to get this to work.
Any help would be appriciated.
Example ....
Check Number
016000123
016000124
016000126 <--- out of sequence (I want to highlight this detail line)
016000127

Thanks so much. However, I am getting a error saying ... "The formula result must be a number". The fields are strings in the database, however I have converted the to numbers in a formula [tonumber() function].
Any ideas.
