Hi,
CHAR datatype is always blank padded if you are storing any value less than the specified length.

Doubt in Query designer

Hi all:
I have a doubt in Query ...
I have an infocube for GR quantities and other infocube for confimation quantities.
In a multiprovider,i collect this two cubes.In query designer,if i given GR date as i/p,
confirmation quantities doesnt display.IF i didnt give GR date as i/p,then both GR and Confimation
quantities display in seperate line.In that case if i see the confirmation quantitis column,GR quantity is
and same for GR quanitiy.
Waiting for your inputs.
Rgds

MSK,
These two pieces of information are at different levels. GR Date is mapped only to the GR quantities cube and no mapped to the confirmation quantities cube.
Map GR date in the multi-provider to a date in the confirmation quantities cube.

Small doubts regarding devices and permissions

Hill all,
Continuing with my experiences with Oracle 11gR2 and Solaris 11, i came up with some "small" doubts regarding the permissions and owners of the devices to be used as ASM diskgroups. I was able to install Grid and the database, both 11.2.0.3.0, in a single-instance configuration, but i had a small issue when creatind the diskgroup for the database data (+DATA). I created 3 devices (VirtualBox) to be used in the +DATA dg, and gave the the "oracle:dba" owner, with the permission 660. My doubts are:
1) It wouldn't be more correct to make the owner of the device the user grid? (grid:dba)
2) The permission 660 to the devices is the correct, or recommended permission? It did work with this permission.
Thanks in advance.

It depends on the user and group that runs the ASM instance. It can be oracle/dba, but can also be a different user, e.g. grid/asmadmin
http://docs.oracle.com/cd/E11882_01/install.112/e22489/storage.htm#CHDFAGJD
660 means rw. That should be ok. No other user/group than the ASM instance needs to access the devices.

Urgent--- small doubt

Hi
I need some docs for 8i installation on win2K. Also I've a small doubt.... I want to move one database (8.1.7.4) to a new server. On this new server I have to install Oracle 8.1.0...... Now the doubt is if I do backup/restore from the old server, do I still have to apply patch 4 on the new server???
Any input is appreciated.
Regards

Hi,
I suggest you apply the patch becuase the database backup has the version info which is 8.1.4. Thus when you will use the 8.1.0 Oracle kernel to start a 8.1.4 database then it might give an error. It is best suited to apply the patches in the new server the way it is in the old one. Once you have applied the patches in Oracle kernel (Oracle Software) you may go ahead with opening the database.
This will keep the versions of the Oracle kernel and the version info in the database control file in sync.
Regards.

Small Doubt Regarding SY-MANDT

Hi All,
     SELECT changenr FROM cdhdr CLIENT SPECIFIED INTO CORRESPONDING FIELDS OF TABLE it_cdhdr
                                         WHERE mandant = syst-mandt
                                         AND   objectclas = 'MATERIAL'
                                         AND   objectid   = wa_matl-matnr
                                         AND   tcode      = 'MM02'.
     I have written the select stament as shown above.
     In this i have a doubt like adding a field sy-mandt in the where condition will increase the Efficiency of program or not.
regards,
raghu.

Hi..
No doubt the efficency would be affected but from business point of view there will many things that need to be checked as in:
If you are viewing data from CDHDR and CDPOS which is client specific then you are not viewing complete data.
These tables give us and document changes made to a particular object in SAP but if anything is cross client like company code(lets assume) then changes to it wont be visible in all the clients..
so there can be some key information you can miss out while working on some of the objects.
else in this case its good to make query cross client.

Doubt in query statement in receiver jdbc

HI
Again a doubt in XML format for receiver jdbc.
I want to execute a query
select sum(col1) sum(col2) from tablename where startdate <= tdate.
My payload message looks like this
<AggregateFn action="SQL_QUERY">
<access>SELECT sum(Weight) FROM KmFuelTrace WHERE resourceno = '$resno$' AND startdate = '$sdate1$'</access>
- <key>
<resno compareOperation="EQ">CHILLED_02</resno>
<sdate1 compareOperation="LT">06/08/2007</sdate1>
</key>
</AggregateFn>
I am getting a error "Data type mismatch in criteria expression" .
I have defined the datatypes correctly with DateTrans function . I think its the problem with access statement.
How to give the selection criteria for non-text fields. (can i use same quotes and dollar combination for date field too) . Or is there any other mistake in the xml structure

Aarthi,
Try the following
<AggregateFn action="SQL_QUERY">
<access>SELECT sum(Weight) FROM KmFuelTrace WHERE resourceno = '$resno$' AND startdate = $sdate1$</access>
- <key>
<resno compareOperation="EQ">CHILLED_02</resno>
<sdate1 compareOperation="LT">06/08/2007</sdate1>
</key>
</AggregateFn>
Also check what us the date format that database uses and give the similar format.

In the above query the result will in seperate rows, bu i want it as

Can anyone help me to write a query for this type of output.
Thanks,

Character string buffer too small (select list query based LOV)

Hi,
Using the select list query based LOV with a select witch is too big, you get this error.
report error:
ORA-20001: Error fetching column value: ORA-06502: PL/SQL: numeric or value error: character string buffer too small
When using the Popup LOV query based LOV) then it works nice.
Can that be solved somehow?
With the Popup LOV the return value is displayed in stead of the description.

Hi Andy,
How do I incorporate your suggestion on a report ?
Example : I have
select apex_item.display_and_save(1,column1,5) col1,
apex_item.display_and_save(2,column2,5) col2 ,
apex_item.popup_from_query(3, emp_name, 'select user_name, name empname from table2) col3
Table 2 is a long list , and I'm getting string buffer too small due to this.
Your suggestion with HTP is good but I'm not sure how to implement it for reports as I'll like the user to change the values with the select_list.
I'm not using forms as they want mulit-record on the same page.
Hope to hear back from you soon.
Thanks very much.

A small doubt in credit management

hi,
i have a small query related to credit management,
Eg: For customer XXX there is 1000/- as credit limit. He has used all the total amount which is shown in credit exposure 999%.
How the system behaves or what is the impact on credit exposure that is 999% for this customer when it comes to raising of credit memo request to the same customer let's take credit memo request value is 100/-.
please explain.
regards,
balajia.

Hello Friend,
See basically the Credit Management Works as:
1. Every Invoice & Debit Memo increses the Debit Amount which is Receivables from Customers. Thus this increases the Credit exposure.
2. Every Credit Memo decreases the Debit Amount (as it is a Credit entry) which decreses the Receivables from Customers. Thus thus this reduces the Credit exposure & the percentages...
Hope this clears...
Thanks,
Jignesh Mehta

Doubts in Query & Infoset Builder

Hi All,
I have a problem/doubt with my query, Due to a requirement I have to place a Check box in my Selection scree of Query.
Unfortunately when I place my Checkbox in Info-set(SQ02), Its showing check Box at first place.
Example:
We have a Query with selection screen fields as
MBLNR
MJAHR
MATNR
MENGE
Now When I add a Checkbox in SQ02 & when I run the report, I am getting this Checkbox, at Top of selection screen.
Actually I am looking to have this Check box after my selection-screen elements.
I tried with Sequence on selection-screen, but its only working with the fields declared in Selections.
Is there any chance like I can declare my Selection screen parameters in the position I want.
Please advice me.
Thanks,
Dileep .C

(!)select * from emp where rownum>5
it wont give o/p/what is the reason.
if we mention rownum<=5 then it gives o/p what is the reasonIts because rownum is applied to the row at the last stage of fetch. It is applied to the row which would be displayed to the user. So after your row is ready to be shown to the requester, it is assigned rownum as 1 and then oracle checks if it is greater than 5. Since the result is false, this row is rejected and next row is given rownum as 1 and checked again. Since all rows would fail (as all rows would be assigned as rownum 1) you would get no rows selected.

i have two data bases. i want to import 2 tables from database1 to data base2.how to do it.
Well you can use

expdp/impdp
copy commmand
db link
(3)i have servers at 3 locations us,uk,asia.
if data is changed in one server.it should reflect in all servers.
if we query from any server we have to get same result how to do it.You can use

Small Doubt in ALE config

Hi,
Iam reffering this blog to do ALE settings
/people/swaroopa.vishwanath/blog/2007/01/22/ale-configuration-for-pushing-idocs-from-sap-to-xi
If i completly follow this Blog means , Is there is any need to do in WE20 & WE21 entries ????
Instead of doing through this blog can i do in this way....
1) Create LS in SALE
2) Create RFC Destination in SM59 with the above created LS name
3) Create WE21 Port
4) Create We20 Partner Profile
Is this way is ok rather than going in the Above mentioned Blog.
What is the difference between these Two Approches
Regards

Hi Vamasi,
After creating distribution model, you can generate partner profile automatically by just one single push button. It avoids our manual process of creating partener profile.
However you can create partner profile manually as well using WE20 / WE21. But in both cases you need distribution model if you want to send message to XI system.
"Generate the partner profiles by selecting the navigation path from the main menu, Environment --> Generate Partner profiles " --> Will make life easier by auto. generating profile for you base on distribution model parameter. ( Just one click n everything would be done).
Both are doing same thing.
Hope this will ans. your query.
Thanks,
Nilesh

Doubt abt query outlines

I am working on performance issue in my project.I want to create stored outlines for the query fetching the results.But in user_Outlines table a, under category default the outline is shown as USED .How can I make this USED for my query?
If I have session level stored outlines under default category and some other category for same query and then when I run the query which stored outline is considered is taken by query ?Is it default one?
Please clarify...

I don't understand your question.
The USED flag indicates if an outline has been employed. Unused outlines can be purged immediately. Outlines with a used status must be set to unused before they can be removed with a package procedure call. Outlines get used by executing their query.
I personally don't use outlines. Using hints effectively is tricky, and hints can produce unexpected results when upgrading or patching database versions. I use hints when necessary but prefer to control them myself instead of letting the database do it. I might use outlines of other methods to get a query to run efficiently did not work but they wouldn't be my first choice
