SQL*Loader issue with WHEN command

Environment: R12.1.2
We have a file coming in from a bank that needs to be loaded into a custom table using SQL*Loader.
The file has multiple record formats. Each record in the file starts with a "record type", which defines the format.
For simplicity, let me say that there is a record type of "H" with the header format, and another record type "D" has a detail record format. An "H" record may be followed by multiple "D" records until the next "H" record is encountered. Unfortunately, there is no common key, like say "Vendor Number" in both the "H" and "D" records to establish a relationship. So the plan was to use a Oracle sequence or SQL*Loader sequence to get a sequence loaded into the table as the file is being loaded. Then if consecutive "H" records had a sequence value of 100 and 112, we would know that the "D" records for the "H" 100 record are all the records with sequence value of 101 through 111.
The issue occurs as we have to use the WHEN command in the control file to direct a certain record type to specific columns of the table. Based on the populated sequence values, with the WHEN command, it seems that all the "H" records get loaded first followed by the "D" records. The sequence becomes of no use and we cannot establish a link between the "H" and "D" records. The alternative is to not use WHEN with the sequence, but load the file into generic column names which provides for less understanding in the application.
Is there a way (command feature) to ensure that SQL*Loader loads the records sequentially while using WHEN?
Thanks
Satish

I used RECNUM parameter instead of sequence and it worked fine

How to load XML file to table (non-XML) with SQL*Loader -- issue with nulls

I have been attempting to use SQL*Loader to load an XML file into a "regular" Oracle table. All fields work fine, unless a null is encountered. The way that nulls are represented is shown below:
<PAYLOAD>
<FIELD1>ABCDEF</FIELD1>
<FIELD2/>
<FIELD3>123456</FIELD3>
</PAYLOAD>
In the above example, FIELD2 is a null field and that is the way it is presented. I have searched everywhere and have not found how I could code for this. The issue is that if FIELD2 is present, it is coded like: <FIELD2>SOMEDATA</FIELD2>, but the null is represented as <FIELD2/>. Here is a sample of the control file I am using to attempt the load -- very simplistic, but works fine when fields are present:
load data
infile 'testdata.xml' "str '<PAYLOAD>'"
TRUNCATE
into table DATA_FROM_XML
FIELD1 ENCLOSED BY '<FIELD1>' AND '</FIELD1>',
FIELD2 ENCLOSED BY '<FIELD2>' AND '</FIELD2>',
FIELD3 ENCLOSED BY '<FIELD3>' AND '</FIELD3>')
What do I need to do to account for the way that nulls are presented? I have tried everything I could glean from the web and the documentation and nothing has worked. Any help would be really appreciated.

I hadn't even got that far. can you direct me to where the docs are to import data that is stored within xml but that you don't need any xml functionality, that just happens to be the format the data is stored in? thx

STATUSThe file I am trying to load is a pipe delimited file and has a string "NULL" for NULL values. So, I have added NULLIF for all columns.
Interesting thing is, Oracle allows us to have column names like TIMESTAMP or GENERATED, but I use it in the NULLIF clause, it is effectively syntax error.

SECONDARY                              VARCHAR2(1)If I remove the NULLIF clause for columns, timestamp and generated, there is no problem, the control file works fine.
How can I get around this problem ?
Thanks in advance

TIMESTAMP is a keyword for the loader and confuses it.
rename your column

2) what is the problem when the same function is used in Sql loader in direct mode.
3) is there any restriction to use the function in sql loader?
4) whether to use the function in sql loader is applicable for direct mode or conventional mode.
5) when i am running in conventional mode it is working fine . what is the reason??

Special character loading issue with SQL Loader

Hi,
I am getting the special characters as part of my input file to SQL loader. The problem is that because the length of the input string (having special characters) is more than 1000 in input data, the converted bytes length is becoming more than 4000 and the defined substrb() function in control file is not working for it and the target 'ADDR_LINE' column in table 'TEST_TAB' is defined Varchar2(1024 char).
Following is a sample ctl file and data i am using for it.
LOAD DATA
CHARACTERSET UTF8
INFILE 'updated.txt'
APPEND INTO TABLE TEST_TAB
FIELDS TERMINATED BY "|~"
TRAILING NULLCOLS
INDX_WORD ,
ADDR_LINE "SUBSTRB(:ADDR_LINE , 1, 1000)",

Is the data file created directly on the Unix server ? If not, how does it get to the Unix server ? And where does the file come from ? Is the UTF8 locale installed on the Unix server (check with the Unix sysadmin) ?

Strange sqlloader loader issue with carriage return in Unix

Oracle 10g
Solaris
Hi All, I'm having issues in running some data into a table via sqlloader. The data was extracted using concatanated SQL with a | delimiter. sql script was executed in the shell to produce the data file.
eg
a,b,c|
d,e,f|
The control file specifies a string terminator as "str '|\n'" but when i run the sqlloadr command on the unix box I states that
no terminator found after TERMINATED and ENCLOSED field.
Ive tried it with \n\r same sort of issue.
The strange scneario i encountered was when I just specified "str '|'" as I read unix would default to \n, the weird thig was that my 6 records DID load into the table succesfully but a bad file was produced with a | character in it and the log file specfied that it tried to load 7 records where 6 were succesfull and 1 failed even though I only had 6 record to play with in the 1dst place.
Any ideas / thoughts greatly appreciated?!
Kind regards
Satnam

Hi All,
Ive updated the problem..with some output... essentially Ive get it to a situation wher I load ALL my records into the table but I still get a bad file with a "|" record issue and the log file still syas that Im trying to load 7 record when I only have the 6 records.
...............SQL statment...

set feedback off

Class loading issue with JDK 1.5

I have recently loaded JDK 1.5 on a laptop that previously had version 1.3. The java code I need to run stopped working and I getget a java.lang.NoClassDefFoundError. I am logging the classpath and I see the jar file with the offending class is there.
I checked my pathing even, since I know java will have a problem with slashes at the beginning of the path when it is called via command line. But all my pathing is absolute.
In the code, I am using C to start up the JVM and then use JNI to communicate between java and C. Because of this complexity, I have searched the forums for problems with JNI and JDK 1.5. I found a case where turning off the JIT compilation kept the JVM from crashing for some users having issues with 1.5, but this approach did not work for me. Not too surprising, though, since this is really a classloading issue.
Where do I go next? Anyone else having this problem?

[http://java.sun.com/javase/6/docs/technotes/guides/security/SunProviders.html]
Reminder: Cryptographic implementations in the Sun JDK are distributed through several different providers
("Sun", "SunJSSE", "SunJCE", "SunRsaSign")
for both historical reasons and by the types of services provided.
General purpose applications SHOULD NOT request cryptographic services from specific providers. That is:
    getInstance("...", "SunJCE"); // not recommended
     vs.
    getInstance("...");            // recommended
Otherwise, applications are tied to specific providers which may not be available on other Java implementations.
They also might not be able to take advantage of available optimized providers (for example, hardware
accelerators via PKCS11 or native OS implementations such as Microsoft's MSCAPI) that have a
higher preference order than the specific requested provider.

Data load issue with export data source - BW 3.5

Hi,
We are facing issues in loading data with the help of export data source.
We have created export data source of 0PCA_C01 cube. With the help of this export datasource, we are loading data to other custom cube. Scenario is working fine in development server.
But when we transported objects to quality server data is not getting loaded to custom target cube.
It is extracting zero records. All transports are ok and we have generated export datasource in quality before transports .Also regenerated export datasource after transport and activated infosource, update rule via RS* programs. Every object is active but data is not getting extracted.
RSA3 for 80PCA_C01 datasource isn't extracting any record in Quality. Records getting extracted in development. We are in BW 3.5 with patch level 19.
Please guide us to resolve the issue.
Thanks,
Aditya

Hi
Make sure that you have relevant Role & Authorization at Quality/PRS.
You have to Transport the Source Cube first and then Create a Generate Export Data Source in QAS. Then, replicate data sources for BW QAS Soruce System. Make sure this replicated Data Source in QAS. Only then can transport new update rules for second cube.
Hope it helps and clear

SQL*LOADER script with ORA-03135: connection lost contact error

Hello,
I got a really strange problem with a script that transfer data from a database to an other. Each day we recieve the raw data in zipped txt files, then we feed it to the database with SQL Loader. This worked fine until two weeks ago. At first, I thought the error must have been in the script, but it didn't change at all since 3 months. And the weirdest thing is that sometime it works without any problems, but now I get almost anytime the "ORA-03135: connection lost contact" and it seems to happen randomly. It never fails at the same place , thought the data I feed the script is always the same.
I'm new to SQL*Loader and since the script seems to send all the data, I don't understand where that error come from. Can I do something on my workstation or the problem is on the database server ?
I think the problem would be that the connection get a timeout out on the server, but we never got that problem on the production server and it has a lot more data to transfer then my little test script.
Have you any idea on whjat the problem could be ?

03135, 00000, "connection lost contact"
// *Cause: 1) Server unexpectedly terminated or was forced to terminate.
// 2) Server timed out the connection.
// *Action: 1) Check if the server session was terminated.
// 2) Check if the timeout parameters are set properly in sqlnet.ora.I would suspect networking issues external to sqlldr & Oracle

SQL*Loader: puzzling with ORA-03106

Hello All,
I got a process that loads 3 files into a 8.1.7.2.0. Database. It uses DIRECT Path to load it. If the database is freshly started it loads the first 2 files and fails with the third one with:
Error during upi fetch: [100]
ORA-03106: fatal two-task communication protocol error
SQL*Loader-704: Internal error: uldisconnect [-1]
ORA-00600: internal error code, arguments: [729], [64], [space leak], [], [], [], [], []
If it's not started freshly it can't even load a single file. But if I do the load without DIRECT it works.
In a forum I found a hint to the Parameter SESSION_CACHED_CURSORS. I then changed it from 100 to 0 and it worked.
But I don't see the reason for that behaviour!
Any hint is appreciated!
Imre
