To delete first and last character of a string???

Hi Everybody !!!
Do you know a method that can permit to delete in a string the first and the last character?
For instance I have in my string this word : [the word]
I would like to delete the '[' and the ']' character.
Is exist a method that permit to delete this character?
Thanks !!!

Look at the substring method of the String class.
Note that since string is immutable, you'll need to assign the results of substring to a variable (could be the same as the original or different).

How can I stop the last character of my password from being displayed?

Sorry, I'm sure this would have been asked before, but I couldn't locate it..
When unlocking my iPad, how can I stop it from displaying the last character of my password to everyone in the vicinity? This has got to be the fastest way to find out someone's password (just look at the screen as they type their 'secure' password!?). Having the iPad display your password letter by letter is really not acceptable when working in a non-secure environment.
Is there a setting somewhere, or will this be addressed in a new iOS, or just ignored as a 'that's the way it is'?
Thanks in advance,
Andy

Hi,
This may have been the way it has been on iOS since 2008 (not sure about that though), however I know (based on working in the IT industry for 20 years) that nobody on this planet can successfully argue that it would be 'acceptable security practice', for me to display 'every last letter' as I type of a secure 'root' password on my screen every day when you log in... Nobody would think it acceptable to display even their LAN/Domain password on the screen in this same manner. So why is iOS different?!
iOS on a phone (it used to be argued) doesn't need to be very secure as it is almost entirely phone numbers and email addresses that are being stored. However in recent years when the applications got better, and tablets came out, security became a much bigger issue as more and more people started using the functions of 'smart' phones to store more 'sensitive' data.
Kind regards,
Andy
Are you suggesting that someone looking over your shoulder can't see the keys that you're tapping with your fingers? In the interest of security, i would never, under any circumstances, enter a password when others are around.

Extracting the first page from all pdf's in a folder and save them to a new file

Hi,
As Bridge apparantly is unable to create a decent-looking PDF from a bunch of other PDF's, we're looking for alternative solutions. The problem is, that I haven't done much scripting in Acrobat.
Pseudocode:
Select Folder where PDF files are stored
Create list of PDF files
Get first page from each and add it to temporary new PDF
Save temporary new PDF in high quality
Would that be possible in Acrobat? And where would I start? I can't even find a Scripting Guide for Acrobat (like the ones for Illustrator and InDesign).. and there seems to be no sample scripts included either :-(
Thanks,
Thomas

This can be done using a combination of an Action and a script. The script in the Action will collect the paths of the files you want to process and the folder-level script will extract the first page from each file and generate a new PDF from it. You don't need a plugin for this task, so you don't really need the SDK.
The Acrobat JavaScript Reference can be found here: http://www.adobe.com/devnet/acrobat/javascript.html

SQL select Statement -first day and last day of the month - 1 year from now

Hi,
I need to write a SQL to get the dates in between first day and last day of the month one year from now.
SELECT last_day(add_months(sysdate,12)) as lastday from dual
What could be the Query to get the first day of the month one year from now..
ie ..Sysdate - 3-DEC-2009
Result - 1-DEC-2010
thank you

Hi,
You can use TRUNC with 2 arguments to get the first DATE in a month, year, quarter, week, hour, minute, ISO year, ...
SELECT TRUNC ( ADD_MONTHS ( SYSDATE
                           , 12
              , 'MONTH'
              )     AS first_of_month
FROM    dual
;The DATE returned will be in the same month, year, quearter, ... as the first argument.
\We convered the last day of the month in [your previous question|http://forums.oracle.com/forums/message.jspa?messageID=3942939#3942939].
At that time, I warded about using LAST_DAY as a cutoff point; TRUNC is a much better way.
For example, to find all appointment_dates in the current month next year:
SELECT *
FROM    appointments
WHERE   appointment_date >= TRUNC (ADD_MONTHS (SYSDATE, 12), 'MONTH')
AND     appointment_date < TRUNC (ADD_MONTHS (SYSDATE, 13), 'MONTH')Note that
the first part of the WHERE clause calls for dates on or equal to the beginning of the 12th month in the future, but
the second part of the WHERE clause calls for dates before, not equal to , the beginning of the 13th month in the future.

Date of last extraction from DataSource 0HR_PY_PP_2 is not available

Hello all,
We are using this data source to extract data for HR in BW. We are currently on BI 7.0
When I used this datasource in BW development system it worked fine. But now I am trying to extract data using the same datasource in BW QA system and I am getting this error.
"Date of last extraction from DataSource 0HR_PY_PP_2 is not available HR_BIW_PP"
The datasource is delta supported so I am trying to init it, and thats when I am getting this error.
Has anyone seen this message before, can some give some suggestions?
Thanks in advance

Just quick check, check rsa3 if you can get any data and also it seems like it is complaining about changes in extract structure, can you compare the extract structure of the two system manually? If you have made changes to the extract structure, did you move that change in the source system? Sometimes it worth it to replicate the datasource and reactivate the transfer structure using program RSActiTran.
thanks.

Date of last extraction from DataSource 0HR_PP_REC_52 is not available

Hi ,
Iam getting another error for data source 0HR_PP_REC_52 , it follows:
Date of last extraction from DataSource 0HR_PP_REC_52 is not available HR_BIW_PP 1
Please help as iam not aware of this type of extrcator.
Thanks in advance.

Hi,
Did you delete the request under scheduler menu of your infopackage?
Scheduler->Init options from the Source system->delete the request
run Init with transfer option now. If it doesn;t help, simply replicate the datasources once and try initializing.

Select from table where last character in string is numeric

Hello,
I have a table STREETS with a field called ADDRESS. I would like to select all records from streets where the last character in Address is a number.
Select ADDRESS from STREETS where regexp_like(substr(address, ?,?,), '[0-9]');
--? means that I don't know what to put in here!
I'm not sure if substr is the best approach for this, since i only want the last character and the records are of varying lengths.
Thanks!

Hi,
If you want to use regular expressions:
WHERE     REGEXP_LIKE ( address
              , '[0-9]$'
              )You can get the same results, probably more efficiently, without regular expressions:
WHERE     INSTR ( '0123456789'
           , SUBSTR (address, -1)
           )     > 0

This is a startup bug error where certain initial log positions are not resolved at initialization.
This should happen only if the first log switching didn't occur after the db was created and before extract was started
It is bug (11839680).
It is resolved by performing a database log switch.
Other causes and solutions:
If some of the nodes in RAC are not active, OGG will hit this error when trying to find the redo logs for those inactive nodes.
The solution in this case is to exclude those inactive nodes from GG, e.g. THREADOPTIONS PROCESSTHREADS SELECT 1

DATA EXTRACTION FROM ORACLE & SYBASE

Hello members...
Good day. This is my first posting in this site. I am new to Oracle and have a question regarding Data extraction from Oracle and Sybase.
My project has two applications one having Oracle as the database and the other has Sybase as the database. On the proposed production schedule, there would be a interface data update from the Oracle database to the Sybase database.
My aim is to check if the data update is in sync after the update. We plan to extract the data from the two databases (Oracle and Sybase) and compare in a Third Party tool. We have the tool to compare. Can any of you suggest a nice data extraction tool. I have to set this data extraction as a batch in the nightly batch schedule.
Thanks in advance,
Regards,
Krishna Kumar...

Sybase provides the best data extraction utility called BCP. You can load and extract data. It is very user friendly. From your unix prompt if you type in BCP ? you will all the switches and
help messages you need to use. It is so simple.
Oracle dosn't have such a utility to extract data from table.
You need to write a Stored procedure and use UTF_FILE package to
extract data from table and write into a file.

Find the last character in an aplhanumreic string

Hi guys first time poster long time hiding in the shadows,
hopefully someone can help me
I have set of username stored and I need to find the last
character before the number for example
abc123 I would want to find c
ab123 I would want to find b
any suggestions as to how I would do this?
Thanks in advance

Here's one way:
<CFSET YourString = "abc123")>
<CFSET LastChar = "">
<CFSET Pos = 1>
<CFSET CharLen = Len(YourString)>
<CFLOOP from="1" to="#CharLen#" step="1">
<CFSET Char = right(left(YourString,Pos),1)>
<CFIF Not IsNumeric(Char)>
<CFSET LastChar = Char>
<CFSET Pos = Pos + 1>
<CFELSE>
<CFBREAK>
<CFIF>
</CFLOOP>

Errors extracting from Essbase to flat file

New to ODI, I have the environment working - so I think
Using ODI 11.1.1.6.0 Studio, no web services, just the studio.
Essbase 9.3.3 is source
Target is flat file on C:\ drive of PC
PC is Windows 7, 32 bit
running an interface to extract from Essbase outline (metadata) to a flat file (csv) the integration step (4) "Extract Metadata" fails. The first 3 steps are sucessful (drop work table, create work table, begin essbase metadata extract).

The "Code" tab of the errored session step has "stats=essbaseAppReader.extract()" in the Target Code, nothing in the Source Code
In the integration, the "Staging area different from Target" is NOT checked (flat file target).
The log file shows the outline was read and the members retreived, the log for this execution show:

Only the file name being written to in the Target exists, it is updated with the column headings:
C1_SORTID,C2_PARENTNAME,C3_MEMBERNAME,C4_ALIAS,C5_DATASTORAGE,C6_TWOPASSCALC,C7_CONSOLIDATION,C8_UDA,C9_FORMULA,C10_COMMENT
There are no other files in the the Target flat file folder
I did have to add a primary key to the target datastore, added as PK_Sortid on the "SortID" column in order to get the flow to run. The LKM used is "LKM Hyperion Essbase METADATA to SQL.GLOBAL", the CKM is "CKM SQL.GLOBAL" ( the only one showing from the drop down).
I don't know what else to check or change.
thanks

I think I saw somewhere in your post that Staging different from target is NOT checked, probably why you are getting lots of 'loading to staging area errors'. Your staging area has to be able to support relational operations i.e a relational database such as SQL Server or Oracle or the SUNOPSIS Memory Engine. In your interface make sure you check the staging differnet from target and for example select the SUNOPSIS Memory Engine as your staging area. Resave the interfece and re-run.

Bi publisher report, data table, column label displays last character

Hello all,
I have created various reports on BI Publisher (win2008 R2 64bit 11g (.1.1.5) version). After altering some access rights, all the reports that include data tables display only the last character of the column label. All the column data is reported correctly.
example:
- TotalNumber -
4234
234
4
became
- r -
4234
234
4
Any ideas about what is going on???
Thank you

Thanks for the suggestion Simon.
I just created a view based on the 46-column SELECT statement from dual above and then set "SELECT * FROM myview" as the Source Query.
Unfortunately I get exactly the same error.
Thanks,
Andy
