Sorting problem in BW query

Dear All,
Two of my columns in the query are 'Emp no.' and 'Seq. no.' Since 'Emp no' is at the first column, I am able to sort it.
But for each 'Emp no', there are 5 'Seq nos'. Now for each 'Emp no', I need to sort the 'Seq nos'. also.
How will I do that ? Please advise.

Hi Vishal,
I agree with you. Placing 'Seq no' in the first column will not solve my issue rather it will add up more.
Is there any other technique or manipulations you can think of ?
Thanks,
Srinivas

Sort problem on dynamic query !!

Hi,
I have a dynamic query written in pl/sql, when I check "Sort" for each field in Report Attribute, error message raised up as "ORA-01785: ORDER BY item must be the number of a SELECT-list expression".
If I do not check Sort, it works fine. In my apps I need all fields sorted by user, how to fix this problem?
My query as below:
declare
query varchar2(2000):='select';
s_class varchar2(1000);
cursor c1 is select * from demo_preference;
begin
for c1_val in c1 loop
if c1_val.login is not null then
query := query ||' ' || 'login' || ',';
end if;
if c1_val.id is not null then
query := query ||' ' || 'id' || ',';
end if;
end loop;
query := SUBSTR(query, 1, length(query)-1);
s_class := '(NVL(:P2_class, ''%'' || ''null%'') = ''%'' || ''null%'' OR
EXISTS (SELECT 1 FROM apex_collections WHERE collection_name = ''P2CLASSCOL'' AND c001 = class))';
query := query ||' ' || 'from ming.reg_report_view1 where'
|| ' ' || s_class;
return(query);
end;

Maybe the internally mapped column used when you clicked on sort is not shown in the report. Try using aliases when you construct the query string, it could help apex internally in identifying a column even if its order changes for a different user. After all the column order in the code is dynamic and I guess even the no of columns displayed might vary both of which could make sorting on a column identified with a number, invalid.
How about displaying the report query somewhere, so that you know what is the exact query being processed, it might give you better information about the problem.
If the problem persists, then use a collection that is fetched those record using the same query string and change the report to refer the collection and then set column sorting on. This way apex would get confused on what columns are being sorted and it would just sort on a c001..c050 column as though it was a string(yes problems with number columns sorting when you do this).

Problem in Adhoc Query's set operation functionality.

Hi Experts,
I am facing problem executing Adhoc Query's set operation functionality.
In Selection Tab, following operations are performed :-
Execute a query and mark it as 'Set A'.(Say Hit list = X)
Execute another query and mark it as 'Set B'.(Say Hit list = Y)
In Set operation Tab, following operations are performed :-:-
Carry out an Operations 'Set A minus Set B'.
which results in Resulting Set = Z.
Transfer the resulting set 'in hit list' and press the copy resulting set button.
In Selection Tab, Hit list is populated with Z.
And when output button is pressed, I get to see 'Y' list and not 'Z' list.
Kindly help.
Thanks.

Problems in SQL Query

Dear All,
I am having some problem in SQL query. I am trying to get total sum of one inventory using the following query it works fine:
sum(case when mt.transaction_quantity > 0 then (mt.transaction_quantity) else 0 end) "TOT_IN"
,sum(case when mt.transaction_quantity >= 0 then 0 else (abs(mt.transaction_quantity)) end) "TOT_OUT"
But when I breakup the total sum into monthly breakup it fails to return the correct some could any one help what is wrong in the following query which is returning incorrect monthly sum. Following is that query. Your help in this regard would highly be appreciated.
sum(case when mt.transaction_quantity > 0 then (decode (floor (floor (to_date('17-MAR-2009')- mt.transaction_date) / 30), 0, mt.transaction_quantity, null)) else 0 end) "MONTH1_IN"
,sum(case when mt.transaction_quantity >= 0 then 0 else (decode (floor (floor (to_date('17-MAR-2009')- mt.transaction_date) / 30), 0, abs(mt.transaction_quantity), null)) end) "MONTH1_OUT"
Thanks

Hi,
Sorry, I don't really understand what you want.
Whenever you have a question, it helps to post:
(1) The version of Oracle (and any other relevant software) you're using
(2) A little sample data (just enough to show what the problem is) from all the relevant tables
(3) The results you want from that data
(4) Your best attempt so far (formatted)
(5) The full error message (if any), including line number
Executable SQL statements (like "CREATE TABLE AS ..." or "INSERT ..." statements) are best for (2).
If you can present your problem using commonly available tables (for example, tables in scott schema, or views in the data dictionary), then you can omit (2).
Formatted tabular output is okay for (3). Type these 6 characters
{code}
(small letters only, inside curly brackets) before and after the tabular text, to preserve spacing.
What exactly do you mean by "monthly breakup"?
If you want separate figures for each calendar month, Blushadow's suggestion (TRUNC (mt.transaction_date, 'MM')) is what you want.
If you want separate figures for the last 30 days before today, then something like what you posted ("FLOOR ((:target_date - mt.transaction_date) / 30)": the extra FLOOR doesn't help any) should work, so if you ran the query on March 17, 2009, the first "month" would be February 16 through March 17.
In a CASE statement, there's rarely any need to use DECODE. The following is equivalent to the last line of code you posted:
,       SUM ( CASE
            WHEN mt.transaction_quantity >= 0
            THEN 0
            WHEN TO_DATE ('17-MAR-2009', 'DD-MON-YYYY') - mt.transaction_date
                    BETWEEN 0
                    AND     29.99999 -- 30 days minus a fraction of a second
            THEN ABS (mt.transaction_quantity)
           END
         )          AS month1_outDon't you find this easier to understand (and debug)?

Could you check the BLOB really contains UTF-8 encoded XML?
What's your database character set?The BLOB contains UTF-8 Encoded

that is a problem?
How could I change the character set of the oracle local client to the character set of the remote oracle data base?

Strange problem in a query

Hello all,
I'm facing a non-sense problem in a query, I hope you could help me.
I have defined a structure in the rows of my query. Inside the structure, I have defined several selections and formulas. Selections are basically account intervals and formulas are additions of some selections.
Some formulas are correct, adding amounts properly but others aren't. Instead of the addition, a * appears.
Even if I copy and paste now one correct formula and show both in the execution, the first one appears correctly and the second one shows a *. How is it possible?
I need some suggestions about what to do. Thank you in advance. I will assign points.

Thank you for your answers!
I have followed Mustafa advice in SPRO and now I don't see any *.
But there is a thing I can't understand now. As said before, I created a formula based on selections and it shows correctly the amount and the unit.
Then I have copied the formula and pasted after the first one. Both of them show the same value but only the first one is showing the amount.
What do you think? How is it possible if both have been defined identically?

CA Forum: Data Connectivity and SQL
It appears that your problem comes from using "+" as the concatenation operator. From the documentation for this operator:If you want to include a value from a numeric field (for example, an account
balance), you must first convert that value to a text string using the ToText function:
"Your account balance is " + ToText({file.BALANCE}) + "."
Instead of casting, you could also switch to the "&" concatenation operator which gives the added benefit of avoiding subtle bugs when attempting to concatenate strings of numbers.

Problem in xml query

Hi
I am working on BLS and having problem in xml query.I want to perform some calculation over xml columns.Than total of this as a new column.I can do this part in logic editor itself but can i do these both task by XSLT.
Can be made our own XSLT for this ?
I am feeling kind of fear to xslt. Can anybody help me in this.
Thanks a lot in advance
thomas

Ram,
In xMII there is a list of predefined xslt transforms that do something similar to what you are explaining. The 3 that I think may be what you are looking for are
they are under Calculation Transformations and Subtotal Transformation take a look at these and tell me if they are doing what you want to accomplish. In the xMII help file do a search on Inline Transforms or navigate to Advanced Topics -> Inline Transforms -> Predefined Inline Transforms. In this section there are examples of how to use these transforms and apply them in the query templates. If this is not what you are looking for can you explain in a little more detail along with a simple example of how you want this transform to work. Also why do you want to use xslt if you can already accomplish this in BLS?

Erik

Navigational Attribute Problem in Input Query

Hi,
I am having a problem in input query implementation which uses a navigational attribute. I have, for eg, only one char 'customer' in rows; i want to exclude the customers with the status D (deleted) from displaying (Status is nav. attr. of customer). I tried this by restricting in filter, Status D-"exclude". But as soon as I do this, query no longer remains input ready! (I also tried putting the same restriction in Default Values area rather than Filter, but ended with the same result )
I discovered that if, furthermore, I put Status in rows (with the above said restriction still remaining), query is again input ready.
Can't we exclude values in the filter on an input query? I want to know if this is a restriction with IP or a bug?

Hi Gregor,
Thanks for the explanation. But this makes me wonder, because due to this restriction one of the BIG advantages queries had over the planning layouts of BPS, seems to be gone. I mean, using navigational attributes for filtering; if we have to always have a single value restriction on a nav. attr., this will really be restricting. Is it expected that this will be changed in a later SP?
And there is another problem that is coming due to this. When I use the exclude filter and also the nav. attr. Status in rows, then the query becomes input ready, but there are warning messges displaying when the query opens saying -
Characteristic Customer has no master data for "C1"
Characteristic Customer has no master data for "C2"
etc... (these are the customers with status D). We are on SP15.
Please suggest what should I do to get rid of these messages?

Hi,
FND_MENU_ENTRIES_TL Table storing the record FND_MENU_ENTRIES_TL_N1(MENU_ID,PROMPT,LANGUAGE) wise in R12. But whereas in 11i, records stored FND_MENU_ENTRIES_TL_U1(MENU_ID,ENTRY_SEQUENCE,LANGUAGE).
I am confused, whether i need to recreate the index in R12, so the records will get store MENU_ID,ENTRY_SEQUENCE,LANGUAGE wise.
Could any one please suggest me how to resolve this problem.

Sorting problems in Grid View

Hi, I'm having a bit of a sorting problem when it comes to an artist with name variations. The example I'm going to use is DJ Tiesto.
There are album I have where he is credited as DJ Tiesto, and others where he is simply Tiesto.
In the end, I'd like these albums sorted chronologically under one name (say DJ Tiesto), while still preserving and showing the proper artist name for each album. I have it set to sort by "Album by Year", which is working fine.
The major problem I am having is that I can't get it to display properly across all iTunes viewing methods: List mode, Grid mode, and Coverflow.
I've tried leaving the Artist field alone, and changing the Sort Artist field to "DJ Tiesto" for all songs, and that almost works:
-List mode groups them all under "DJ Tiesto", while showing each albums Artist as the correct artist name.
-Grid mode sorted by Album groups them all under "DJ Tiesto", while showing each albums Artist as the correct artist name.
-Coverflow sorts them all in chronological order, while showing each albums Artist as the correct artist name.
Problem is, Grid mode sorted by ARTIST creates two separate artists! Some for DJ Tiesto and some for Tiesto!
To correct this I tried changing the Album Artist field for all songs to "DJ Tiesto", which solved that problem but created a bunch of new ones:
-List mode is still correctly grouping them under "DJ Tiesto", while showing each albums Artist as the correct artist name.
-Grid mode sorted by Album is still correctly grouping them under "DJ Tiesto", *however now it is not displaying the correct Artist name for each album!*
-Grid mode sorted by Artist is now grouping them all under "DJ Tiesto", *however it is not displaying the correct Artist name for each album!*
-Coverflow is sorting them in correct chronological order, *however it as well is not displaying the correct Artist name for each album!*
Using the Album Artist tag has created more problems that it has solved! Is there anyone who knows a way to achieve what I am trying to do? I have tried seemingly every option I can and have still not found a way to do this!!
Thanks!

My own method of working involves renaming the files upon import to:
i "shotdate_sequencenumber"
Files are therefore typically named
b 2007-11-25_001
etc.
This way, sorting by Filename automatically sorts by Date by default. And it wouldn't even matter if you added a descriptive text in between the date and number (
b 2007-11-25_Scotland_001

Problem with Hierarchical query

Gurus,
I have a problem with hierarchical query, which I am pasting below.
select sys_connect_by_path (Fname,'/')"PATH",Fname,id,level
,(SELECT COUNT(ID)-1 FROM (SELECT CONNECT_BY_ROOT LNAME LNAME,ID FROM CMT_PERSON
START WITH ID = 'emplo000000000126009'
CONNECT BY PRIOR ID=MANAGER_ID)
GROUP BY FNAME)"COUNT"
from CMT_PERSON
WHERE
LEVEL <= 4
----And ID='emplo000000000001877'
CONNECT BY PRIOR id=manager_id
----AND NOT LEVEL > 3
START WITH ID='emplo000000000126009'
As per the result, count is getting repeated for all the levels. That is, count is coming 16100 for every level, Can you please help where exactly I am going wrong
Regards

You do not say anything about what count you want to get?
A wild guess could be:
select
   sys_connect_by_path (p1.fname, '/') "PATH",
   p1.fname,
   p1.id,
   level,
   (select count (id) - 1
    from
       (select connect_by_root p2.lname lname, p2.id
        from cmt_person p2
        start with p2.id = p1.id
        connect by prior p2.id = p2.manager_id)
    ) "COUNT"
from cmt_person p1
where level <= 4
connect by prior p1.id = p1.manager_id
start with p1.id = 'emplo000000000126009';Since your inner query simply starts with the hardcoded employee id, naturally it will give you the same count.
My guess is your inner query should start with the person id from the outer query?
If that is not the case - please state in plain english what you are trying to accomplish ;-)
(Oh, and please paste code within tags so we can read it more easily...)
