SSIS option to trim all character fields upon import?

Does SSIS have an option to automatically trim (both left and right) all character data before importing it into a table?
TIA,
edm2

Nitesh is right... should be done in the source query or within a Derived Column with a
TRIM. Other option could be a Script Component to trim all columns at once:

Trim All Text Field quickly?

Currently i got over +40 textfields which uses DML and the column is 255 VARCHAR
Wondering if there a quick way of trimming all these fields before the update happens.
As of right now im doing it like this... is there way a to grab all textfield and just loop and trim or something simliar....? i was thinking of using javascript and copy paste 40 names in an array and loop trim and set value but that seem ugly to me. as i have to go in to it every time if a new field is needed...
:P1_name := trim(:P1_name)
:P1_boat := trim(:P1_boat)
:P1_book := trim(:P1_book)
:P1_game := trim(:P1_game)
:P1_phone := trim(:P1_phone)
:Px_item := trim(:Px_item)Edited by: PandaOracle on Feb 14, 2012 2:19 PM

Instead of JavaScript there is a jQuery solution to you problem. Here is a JavaScript function you can call on your Submit button of your page:
function f_trim_textb() {
//trim all the text fields
$('input[type="text"]').each(function() {
   oval = $(this).val();
   tval = $.trim(oval);
   $(this).val(tval);
//submit the page
apex.submit({request:"SUBMIT"});
}Refer: http://api.jquery.com/jQuery.trim/
Well however this is not the only solution! You can use PL/SQL process that executes before page submit and do thing what you have suggested above:
:P1_name := trim(:P1_name)
:P1_boat := trim(:P1_boat)
:P1_book := trim(:P1_book)
:P1_game := trim(:P1_game)
:P1_phone := trim(:P1_phone)
:Px_item := trim(:Px_item)Yet another solution is setting the attribute Post Calculation Computation in the Source section of Item Attributes to:
trim(:Px_item)Hope it helps!

Left and right trim all af:inputText fields

Hi,
ADF 10.1.3.4
we have a requirement to left and right trim all input text fields in the application. Is there an easy way to do this?
Thanks,
Mike

Hi...
If you want to get the values after a request was send, you can do it simply in the following way:
import java.util.Iterator;
import java.util.Map;
import java.util.Map.Entry;
import javax.faces.context.FacesContext;
import javax.servlet.http.HttpServletRequest;
HttpServletRequest request = (HttpServletRequest)FacesContext.getCurrentInstance().getExternalContext().getRequest();
Map<String, String[]> requestParameters = request.getParameterMap();
Iterator iter = requestParameters.entrySet().iterator();
while (iter.hasNext()) {
Entry entry = (Entry)iter.next();
String key = (String)entry.getKey();
String value = ((String[])entry.getValue())[0];
if (key.contains("<Your HTML-Element Id>")) {
// trim your value
}These code you can put into your submitAction in the backing Bean where your inputfields are locaded. In the request are a lot of data and you dont want do trim all of this. The <Your HTML-Element Id>-String is a string you can locate your inputfields. For example "form1.inputField1". If you render the page, you can look at the HTML-Element Ids to get your Ids. Maybe you can use "key.contains("form1")" to get all fields in Form1.

Is this happening with one particular network or with all? Make sure iOS is updated on the device.
Try this:
Reboot ipad by pressing and holding both the home and sleep/wake buttons at the same time until the apple logo appears on the screen, then let go. Then try to connect to network.
Go to settings, Toggle airplane mode on/off. Make sure bluetooth is off. Turn on wif (airplane mode off). Try to connect.
Reset Network Settings
Go to settings/general/reset/reset network settings. Then try to connect to network.
If its your home router, then reboot router by unplugging for 5-10min. (do this while you're resetting network settings).
If problem persists, then check for firmware updates on your router.(you check router manufacturer support website for downloads and instructions).

Concatenating non-character fields

Hi,
I have a nested structure which I am trying to convert into a flat structure so that I can output this to a flat file.
I am trying to concatenate all the fields within my nested structure into a text field but the concatenate command does not automatically convert numerics/quantities.
An extract of my code is as follows:-
loop at itab-rec2 into wa2.
      concatenate wa2-ntgew wa2-gewei wa2-volum
                  wa2-ean11 into text.
      tlines-line = text.
      append tlines.
      clear text.
endloop.
Can anyone advise me on how I can convert the numeric/qty fields into a character string so I can the concatenate all the fields into a string.
Thanks,
Ruby

Hi Ruby,
mybe this could help:
<pre>
data:
lv_separator type c,
lv_offset type syfdpos,
lv_len    type sytleng,
lv_chars type tab512.
field-symbols:
<any> type any.
lv_separator = abap_char_utilities=>horizontal_tab.
loop at itab.
do.
    assign component sy-index of structure itab to <any>.
    if sy-subrc <> 0.
      exit."loop
    endif.
    describe field <any> output length lv_len.
    write <any> to lv_chars+lv_offset(lv_len).
    add lv_len to lv_offset.
if field separator is needed add these lines
    write lv_separator to lv_chars+lv_offset(1).
    add 1 to lv_offset.
enddo.
transfer lv_chars to file.
clear lv_chars.
endloop." at itab.
</pre>
This will write a formatted output file but it will use the output formatting options defined for the actual user/language/system. This will determine the representation of numeric and date fields and all other fields with output conversion. That means that in the file you will have what you see on a list or grogram screen, not what you see in debugger. Fields are separated by tabulator. As all fields always are output in the same length, you may omit this part.

IDoc Error 51 - Make Entry in All Required Fields

hi,
I am using a scenario where an idoc is being posted into an R/3 system from a legacy application. For some reason I keep getting Idoc error 51 (Document not posted).
Once I drill down further, the specific error states "Make entry in all required fields". Have checked to make sure all mandatory fields have been mapped and proper constant values have been specified.
But cannot seem to get rid of the problem. Could anybody help out in determining how else to troubleshoot this and identify the possible cause?
thx,
Manpreet

Manpreet,
What IDoc Type you are trying to post ? One way is debugging the inbound function module using WE19. The second option is talking to a functional consultantor who worked, what fields are needed for that particular IDoc.
I wouldn't care much about whether the IDoc is posted or not because, it is the ABAP ALE/EDI consultant's job to do that. The only way XI Developer is concerned is when it is not posting, ABAPer would tell what's missing.
Hope this info helps.

How to accomodate more than 255 characters in character field

HI All
i need to accomodate more than 255 characters in character field. How can i do that ?
thanks in advance!!!

Hi,
You can try the following things:
1. Use a datatype STRING and check it will work.
2. In se11 transaction goto datatype and search for char* in data elements.
You will find predefined data types ,you can make use of it.
For eg. char2000,char3000,char4000 etc.
Hope this will help.

Required Fields upon user selection

I have several forms that have been requested to move to Adobe Forms. I have the forms created, but need some help on how to require certain fields when only others are selected. I have one that has a drop down of 3 options and only when a certain option is selected a comments field needs to be required.
Other forms are required fields depending on a radio button or check box the end user selects they then must complete certain fields and all others are optional. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

As far as I know, you're just limited to whatever fields are in the transaction... That applies for any of the setup tables processes.
If you need to limit the data that goes to BW, you can do so by putting the logic in CMOD, EXIT_SAPLRSAP_001, Include ZXRSAU01 for the specific extractor.

Sql injection character fields

Is it true that with MSSQL in the background, character fields can't be used for sql injection?
A)   One source says that in MSSQL single quotes are escaped into double quotes.
B)   Another source says that " SQL injection (within ColdFusion apps) is really only an issue with non textual fields. If a text value is tampered with you'll end up with tampered text, but that text will all be part of the core string (within quotes) passed as a value, and will therefore not be executed as separate statements. Numbers, on the other hand, are not enclosed within quotes, and so extraneous text can be tampered "
Questions about A):   How does escaping 's with "s help, by making string literals in MSSQL not valid?
                                How could A) above be true when names like O'Mally are being stored with a single quote ?
Questions about B)    Does it mean code like DELETE * FROM atable would just be stored as a string and not execute ?
                                If so, is that accurate ?

To actually answer your question's.
A) A single quote in SQL is a comment. To store a single quote as DATA one has to escape it by doubling it. So to store O'Mally it would be passed as o''Mally.
The simple SQL injection attack is to end a number value with a random value, that is followed with a ; to end the SQL statment and then another statement can be run, this is then followed by a single quote to comment out any other SQL in the original statement. ColdFusion automatically escapes single quotes in text fields in most situations, so this is harder to do with text fields, but not impossible.

Not Reflecting all the field defined in User Field Key - WBS

Dear SAP Gurus,
I am not able to view the fields which are user defined in field key. I need all four character fields and date fields.
Please guide...
Regards

Hi,
First check in transaction OPS1 for these user fields. Next check whether there's an authorization object specified to these user fields. If yes, then maybe you wont be having access to it. Kindly check and confirm.

Update (All Mapped Fields) Import Action creates a new record.....

Hi All,
I am on MDM 5.5 sp6,and this weird thing happens everytime i run the "update all mapped fields" option in the import manager,it creates a new duplicate field with the updated value record.Is this a bug in sp6 or I guess i am going wrong somewhere.I want to update a particular field in the qualified table and i am using a import file which has values for qualified field on the main table and the values for the qualified table itself.
Any Help greatly appreciated
Thanks

Hi Aravind,

MDM should not behave in this way. I thing there is an issue with the Matching Field you have choosen.
I think you have choosen all the FIeld as the Matching Field ( Tab) while IMporting.
Hence any change in any value, creates another dupliacte record( which we do not want)
Please select any Field with unique values ( like the Material ID, Customer ID etc) which will ensure that the particular records are updated with the new Values coming in.
You will find the new value getting updated for the records which are already present. It will not create a duplicate record
Hope it helps.

Using "Update All Mapped Fields" with multi-value attributes

Is it possible to update a value in a multi-value attribute through the import manager? It appears that if a source value is different then it just gets added as another value to the record.
For example, a product has an attribute of speed which is measured in revolutions/minute. Some products can be rated at two speeds (i.e. 1800/3600).
I created a numeric attribute for speed and enable only nominal rating and selected multi-valued.
In import manager, I set "/" as multi delimiter for source field. This created two entries in destination attribute, 1800 and 3600.
However, if on subsequent imports the speed values changes for this record (i.e. 1200 and 1800) then I will now have 1200, 1800, and 3600 as values for this record.
Would the proper solution be to create two individual numeric attributes that are single valued (i.e. Speed1 and Speed2)?

Hi Aaron,
in your example it would make sense to use two different attributes called "Speed1" and "Speed2". Using the multi value option, MDM allows you to store a list of values into a single field. This list is more or less unlimited, you can add as many values as you like. A change of an existing value is not possible. The reason is that Import Manager does not know, which value you've changed! So it simply adds the "new" record (which is the 1200 in your example) to your value list. This is the intended behaviour of the "update all mapped fields option". If you really want to replace the values, you can check if the "Replace" option is useable for you. But note, that the replace will replace the complete existing record with the incoming new one. This means if the product you want to import with the replace option is smaller than the existing one (maybe it does not contain values for all segments), you'll loose data in MDM.

How to set Character field's Format Mask?

dear all,
how to set Character field's Format Mask?
i searched the forum and found the following, where can i use this code and how to change and set its format mask.
SRW.SET_FORMAT_MASK('mask');
Thanks

Nadeem,
If you have database 10g, look into function REGEXP_REPLACE. Otherwise you can also try this (you might already know).
SELECT SUBSTR('CHHOCMIPO07020001', 1,2)||'-'||SUBSTR('CHHOCMIPO07020001' ,3,2)||'-'||
SUBSTR('CHHOCMIPO07020001' , 5,2)||'-'||SUBSTR('CHHOCMIPO07020001' , 7,3)||'-'||
SUBSTR('CHHOCMIPO07020001' , 10,2)||'-'||SUBSTR('CHHOCMIPO07020001' , 12,2)||'-'||
SUBSTR('CHHOCMIPO07020001' , 14,4)
FROM dual
CH-HO-CM-IPO-07-02-0001
If you have to use this at many places, create a function, pass the raw value, manipulate the string and return.

HOW YOU GET IMOVIE TO SELECT/TRIM ALL THE TRACKS IN THE TIMELINE?

trying to burn dvd of my vacation and imported the clips from the camera into imovie. worked great. i imported my audio into garageband to add some filters, compression and eq, and imported it back into imovie as a separate track. then, i muted the origional audio track from the camera. still great. now, i need to trim some clips because idvd says my movie too long to burn on a single-layer disc. not great, *****! so, then i went back to imovie and trimmed a clip and now the audio that is after the trimmed track is totally out of sync. really really *****!!!! it turns out that imovie only trimmed the video and left my second audio track alone. WHY??? ***!!! does anyone know how to trim clips so that imovie trims all the tracks? do you hold down 'shift' or 'option' or something??? there must be a way to do it. HELP!!! god, i hope i can burn this disc sometime in 2007.

yea, thanks matt but i thought of that. if i do that i have to do my whole idvd project over again. i dont think i have enuff sanity left for that. i have a really complicated idvd project thats totally done. i think im just gonna burn it to a DLdisc instead.
but hey, maybe you can help me with this question:
i made a disk image of my vacation in maui, which is 1 hour 43 mins & chose the 'best quality' option. it has lots of violent ocean footage w/lots of motion, crazy colors, rainbows etc. its taken from a canon alura dv cam & looked awesome in imovie. my imovie project is roughly 23gb. when i watched the 4gb disk image that idvd created in DVD Player, it looked really blocky especially in the water/ocean scenes. like a bad divx rip from 1997, haha. im not happy with it at all. i kinda thought about how idvd would get 23gb compressed down to 4gb and worried about how it would look. well, my worring paid off cause it looks like crap.
then, i looked at the project info window in idvd. if i select 'best performance' the capacity changed from 3.6gb to 6gb, whoa??? uh, that doesnt make sense. \ im gonna try to encode it using this 'best performance' that they speak of, and see if it helps. i just want my movie to look good and ill do anything, ill use a dvdisc if i have to! why spend hours making a perfect imovie/garageband/idvd project if your source footage looks like dog poop in the final stage. im assuming it will look better when i select this 'best performance' thingie because common sense and logic tell me 6gb is bigger than 3.6.
then i got really CRAZZIIEE and looked at the 4gb idvd image next to 1 of my source .dv files in vlc player. vlc player says my disk image is getting about 4-6,000kb/s fluctuating, BUT my .dv file is 30,000kb/s sustained!!! how do i get 30,000kb/s sustained on my dvd??? wow, that would be great!!! prob not possible with my luck? my dvd player will explode into flames when i try to play it, right? also, how can i get the quailty higher? idvd is only going to use 6gb of a dual-layer disc, why if it has the capacity to hold 9gb? any help would be greatly appreciated!!! i thought about dvd studio pro but i would only try that if it will import my idvd theme perfectly, cause im not doing all that crap again. if im stuck with a 9gb dldisc that only used 6 gb, at least thats better than 3.6gb. ill settle for that if i have to.
mahalo,
