Suggested Buyer Field in oracle iprocurrement requisition

Hi Gurus,
please tell me the prupose of suggested buyer field in the iprocurrement requisition.
also please suggest me how a buyer knows that a requisition is available for autocreate process for PO creation. Does oracle sends any notification to the buyer once a requisition is approved. what is the message type for this notification.
Thanks,
SamD

When the buyer goes to the autocreate screen, the buyer name is filled in with his/her on that screen by default.
If the iprocurement requisition has the suggested buyer filled in, the requisition will appear when he searches on the autocreate screen.
As far as I know, no notification is sent to the buyer when a requisition is approved.
Hope this helps

How suggested buyer id gets populated in requisition lines

How suggested buyer id gets populated in requisition lines when we select the external catalog? Where we need to do the setup? Please suggest.

Sorry, I have misguided you a little.
You can do that using POR_CUSTOM_PKG client extension provided by Oracle for iProcurement.
Assign the suggested buyer value in the line defaults function.
Thanks,
PS.

Suggested Buyer in iProcurement

We have an issue in Purchasing where one of the buyers is asking how a PO got automatically got created with her as the buyer without her intervention.
I have checked the corresponding iProc requisition for the PO and could find the buyer's name in the 'Suggested Buyer' field. This explains how the PO got created in her name. But now when we asked the person who created the requisition, he said that they never put the name in the Suggested Buyer's field. So my guess is it got populated automatically. However I checked the the CPA for the req, but the buyer for that CPA is not the same.
Is there something I am missing? How could have the suggested buyer's name got there automatically if it is not there on the CPA?

The suggested buyer can be defaulted from master item. You can check if the suggested buyer comes from the item. In Item attributes go to purchasing and check if it is the same default buyer which is on requisition form for the same item.

Blank space updatation to Collection field in Oracle 10g

Hi,
we have the Oracle 9i database in the dev environment and Oracle 10g in Production environment.
In Oracle 9i, the below scenario works find, but in Oracle 10g it won'nt, The scenerio is ,
Update table1
set test_collection = ' '; -- works fine in Oracle 9i , but it wont works in Oracle 10g,
Update tabel1
set test_collection = null; -- works in both the versions.
Please suggest,.
raja k

What is myv, is that the collection name ?? See post number 5 of this thread where I declared it.
>
In Oracle 9i, we need not to specify the collection
name while updating the collection type field in the
table. 9.2.0.6 was notoriously buggy and wasn't considered stable till 9.2.0.7 if I recall correctly. And now (thankfully) it's unsupported.
The sql code was written in concern to Oracle 9i, now
while migrating to Oracle 10g, we are getting the
problem with this. The problem is , i don'nt have the
access to Production environment, which is migrated
to Oracle 10g, we develop the code on Oracle 9i, and
will release to deploy on Oracle 10g. Develop in 9i and deploy to 10g! Do you really think that's a good setup? How about upgrading your development environment to match production.
update table1 set test_collection = null; - this
works fine in Oracle 9i ,
update table1 set test_collection = ''; - this works
fine in Oracle 9i ,
but in Oracle 10g ,
update table1 set test_collection = null; - this
works fine in Oracle 10g ,
update table1 set test_collection = ''; - this won'nt
works in Oracle 10g , Yes, I already understand what your issue is.
as you suggested, do we need to specify the
collection name while updating the collection type
field. in Oracle 10g, In Oracle 9i , it won'nt
required ?? Yes, this would be the correct way to do it.
Karthick,
because null is not same as ''
SQL> select * from dual where ''=null
2 /
no rows selectedErrrm, yes it is actually...
SQL> select 1 from dual where '' is null;
1
1
SQL>
... if you use the correct condition for checking nulls.

Issue related with CLOB field in Oracle and PI

Dear Experts,
We are trying to transfer material Long description from SAP to Oracle table.
There is a field in Oracle table 'LNG_DESC' which is defined as CLOB.
In PI mapping we have defined that fields as String type with Maxlength as 14000.
There are few materials for which this limit is excedding and we are getting ORA:014
String too Long' error in communication channel.
Kindly suggest that how can we define a field in PI as CLOB or how to handle this
situation.
Thanks
Sumit

Hi Hank,
The reason could be either improper set up and loading sequence followed, or transactions not locked while performing set up filling and initialization.
There could be two approaches to rectify this.
1. Redo the inventory data, as per how to document.
2. Identify the transactions that are not captured, by running the reports and analysing the date on which transactions are not captured(this could be quite painful) and then fill set up of movements just for these documents and load to cube without discurbing the deltas.
Do write back to me, if you have any questions.

Importing an SQL Server TEXT data type field in Oracle - problem with LONG

Hello,
I work in Oracle 9i and I created a view on a distant SQL Server database that contains a TEXT data type field. But I have a problem when I select that field in Oracle; I have the following error message: "ORA-00997: forbidden use of LONG data type".
Could anybody have a solution for me, to solve that problem?
Thanks a lot!

It is very difficult to suggest anything without seeing your code. I don't even know if what you are seeing is the actual value or an error code. Often, negative numbers are indicative of error codes.
For instance -1 could mean that you have an invalid reference or path, etc...
Can you post your code?

Defaulting Suggested Buyer on Non-Catalog request

I'd like to know how I can default the suggested buyer (line delivery details) for non-catalog items. These items are not associated with a requisition template, are not in inventory, and we do not want to key off of categories. We would like the default buyer to always default to the same one user.
I attempted to personalize the page by adding the default user name into the initial value of "Message Lov Input: Suggested Buyer", but that does not seem to be working. I was hoping that would override al logic in the system and force her name.
Any suggestions?
Thanks,
Suzanne

Hi Suzanne

Inserting to a CLOB field in Oracle 8i Database

Hi All,
I am trying to insert a value to a CLOB field in Oracle 8i DB.
The value gets inserted when the size is less (Up to around 80 Bytes).
When the size becomes larger the insertion does not take place but no exception is thrown.
Please see below the code I have written.
PreparedStatement preparedStatement = null;
          try {
               connection = getConnection(MMAKeys.WMDS_DATASOURCE);
               String query = "UPDATE s_mmhp_batch SET MMHP_REPORT_CLOB=(?) WHERE MMHP_BATCH_ID=(?) AND MMHP_USER_ID=(?) AND MMHP_MEMBER_KEY=(?)";
          preparedStatement=connection.prepareStatement(query);
          Reader r = new StringReader(clobReport);
          preparedStatement.setCharacterStream(1, r, clobReport.length());
          oracle.sql.CLOB newClob = oracle.sql.CLOB.createTemporary(connection , false, oracle.sql.CLOB.DURATION_CALL);
          newClob.putString(1,clobReport);
          preparedStatement.setClob(1,newClob);
          preparedStatement.setInt(2,batchId);
          preparedStatement.setString(3,userId);
          preparedStatement.setString(4,memberKey);
          preparedStatement.executeUpdate();
          System.out.println("inside the write to Batch method after executing the query");
          } catch (SQLException exception) {
               throw new DAOException(
                    "MREDMMSDAO -> writeToTable():SQLException"
                         + exception.getMessage());
          } catch (Exception exception) {
               throw new DAOException(
                    "MREDMMSDAO -> writeToTable():Exception"
                         + exception.getMessage());
          } finally {
               closeStatement(preparedStatement);
               closeConnection(connection);
I came to know that this method is not supported in Oracle 8i.
I tried to create an empty CLOB and call the putValue() method.
But Then, I got an exception stating that the method is not supported.
Is there any other way to insert a CLOB value to Oracle 8i?
Please help.
Thanks in advance,
Neelambary

And cursor.callproc('insert_clob_proc', (clob,))
doesn't work for you?
PrzemekYes - I should have been more clear in my original post. The callproc function works until we have a value which is over 32K. At values over 32K, we get an error message "ORA-01460: unimplemented or unreasonable conversion requested". I believe this is because we are sending the value as a string and so we would need to figure out how to send as a CLOB in cx_Oracle? Here is some code to use to test if interested...
Oracle (Oracle Database 10g Release 10.1.0.4.0 - Production):
CREATE TABLE clob_test (CLOB_FIELD CLOB);
CREATE OR REPLACE PROCEDURE ins_clob_test (v_clob_field IN CLOB)
AS
BEGIN
INSERT INTO clob_test (clob_field) VALUES (v_clob_field);
END ins_clob_test;
Python (2.5):
conn = cx_Oracle.connect(xhash['oraclelogin'])
cursor = conn.cursor()
clob_var = 'Some test data' * 10000
cursor.callproc('ins_clob_test',(clob_var,))
conn.commit()
cursor.close()
conn.close()
I should also mention that I am the Oracle developer and not the Python programmer - my knowledge of Python is very limited. I would like the Python programmers to use the procedures (packages) I have created to do their inserts but this situation has caused them to put the SQL directly in their code.
Thanks again for any assistance you can provide.

How could I Write data into a field in Oracle whose data type is VARCHAR2

The target data I want to write into Oracle is in http://tw.yahoo.com/info/utos.html.
Now, these data is stored in Mysql database and the field which stores these data uses "Text" as its data type.
I want to derive these data from mysql database and store them into a field of oracle database.
In oracle, I create field whose data type is varchar2(4000) to store these data.
I use JSP to derive data from mysql and insert into oracle through JDBC.
But the result of the page shows me that "javax.servlet.ServletException: Data size bigger than max size for this type: 25623".
Please anyone could help to resolve this problem?
Thank you very much.

My hunch is that the problem is that VARCHAR2(4000), but default, allocates 4000 bytes of storage. Depending on your database character set, a single character may require up to 4 bytes of storage.
If you are on 9i, you can declare the column VARCHAR2(4000 CHAR) to allocate 4000 characters of storage. You can also set NLS_LENGTH_SEMANTICS to CHAR, which will cause Oracle to assume that your declarations are in characters rather than bytes.

Extracting xmldata from clob field in oracle

I have an xml document stored in xmltype (clob)field in oracle
Below is the xml data inside the xml ( I have kind of 300 elements similar to this inside the xml)
<ns1:E-I12_IS_13 ObjID="I12" ObjType="e">5437090</ns1:E-I12_IS_13>
<ns1:E-I13_IS_14 ObjID="I13" ObjType="e">5</ns1:E-I13_IS_14>
<ns1:E-I14_IS_15 ObjID="I14" ObjType="e">9</ns1:E-I14_IS_15>
The requirement is to get all the elements from the xmldata and compare against the 15-16 oracle tables ( here xml is converted and stored in these tables by a tibco process)
select dbms_lob.instr(clobcolumnname,'E-I13_IS_14') from tablename where ( given condition to extract specific transaction)
the above statement gives me position of the string
select dbms_lob.substr(clobcolumnname,6( length of element value),870(position from where the value starts)) from tablename where condition
the abv statement gives me the element value
but I want to extract the value for any element by giving the element name ( if u see any value comes after objtype="e" between > and < tags)
can anyone on this forum tell me to extract the element value just by giving element name ( since I have to do the same for n number of elements - how to find position of > and < tags??)

URGENT!Can I user a THIN jdbc driver to access a CLOB field from oracle 8.0.5 DB?

URGENT!Can I user a THIN jdbc driver to access a CLOB field from oracle 8.0.5 DB?

I think you'd need to contact Oracle support to get access to older versions of the driver.
Since 8.0.5 isn't supported any longer, however, is it possible for you to update your Oracle client to one of the supported releases-- 8.1.7 or 9i?
