Trouble getting a timestamp formatted by a 'to_char' function

We have trouble getting a timestamp formatted by a 'to_char' function and a 'group by'
for a count. By assigning the result of the to_char function to an attribute and
grouping on that attribute, we try to get the frequency of an event.
What happens is a non predictable 'IllegalArgumentException' on
'Timestamp.class' while getting the timestampvalue.
We make use of a scrollablecursor as you can see in the stacktrace.
java.lang.IllegalArgumentException: Timestamp format must be yyyy-mm-dd hh:mm:ss.fffffffff
at java.sql.Timestamp.valueOf(Timestamp.java:160)
at oracle.sql.CHAR.timestampValue(CHAR.java:567)
at oracle.jdbc.driver.ScrollableResultSet.getTimestamp(ScrollableResultSet.java:658)
at oracle.toplink.oraclespecific.Oracle9Platform.getObjectFromResultSet(Unknown Source)

at oracle.toplink.queryframework.ScrollableCursor.loadNext(ScrollableCursor.java:357)
at oracle.toplink.queryframework.ScrollableCursor.hasNext(ScrollableCursor.java:233)
After restarting the application server there is a chance that the query returns
with the expected results. But most of the times it just returns the above
mentioned exception.
I don't see the logic in the apparently random parsing of the value.
The column in the database is a timestamp, but that the reason why i'm using the
to_char method.

This is a bug in TopLink with ReportQuery. Please report this is Oracle technical support. Basically TopLink is converting to the attribute type, but should not be if a function was applied to the expression.
To workaround the issue you can use getField(/) in the expression instead of get(/) (using the database field name instead of the class attribute name).

Having Trouble Getting Charts to Format by Date over 2 Years

Using the preview of PowerBI Dashboard, using the SSAS Connector. Connected to a SSAS Tabular model.
The model is simple, a fact table and a date dim.
I want a bar chart with MM-YYYY that spans 2 years, along the X-axis.
In the Date Dim of the Tabular model, I've sorted (using the column sort feature) a column that contains MonthYear (Jan-2014 format) using the MMYYYY column as the sort'er.
Yet, no matter how I sort the MonthYear column, the web UI still creates the chart whereby: Jan-2014 is followed by Jan-2015, then Feb-2014, Mar-2014....Dec-2014.
I can't figure out how to sort the MonthYear column in the date dim to make PowerBI figure out that Jan-2014 is followed by Feb-2014, not Jan-2015.
Help please.

Hi Eric,
Sorry you've had problems with this! Try adding a column with the format YYYYMM and use that as the sorter:
201401
201402
201412
201501
201502
etc.
That should get your chart showing correctly.
It's common practice to include a DateDim column with YYYYMMDD to do this down to the day level. Hope that helps!

Formating dates with to_char function

Hi,,
Inside a pl/sql procedure Im formating a date:
v_start_date := 2011-04-01 05:00:00;
v_start_month := to_char(v_start_date,'mm');and I need that v_start_month returns = 04
but returns 4
What could I do to fix it
Many Thanks..

If you define v_start_month as a number then it will strip off the leading 0 when it displays. Define v_start_month as a varchar and it will display the way you want.
SQL> DECLARE
2    v_month    VARCHAR2(10);
3 BEGIN
4    v_month := to_char(SYSDATE,'mm');
5    dbms_output.put_line(v_month);
6 END;

Can you help me get the time format to match XML dateTime?

XML has a dateTime format which looks like this:
2002-10-10T12:00:00-05:00
and Im using XMLElement() functions in some queries to produce an xml document however it truncates the time portions of the data stored so it's just MM/DD/YYYY.
i would use a to_char function but I'm not sure what date format in Oracle to use to match the timezone portion at the end (-05:00) and how to get it to accept that 'T' in there as a separator as defined in the XML Schema spec:
http://www.w3.org/TR/xmlschema-2/
Does anyone know?

FROM     dual;Sample output:
2011-07-25T15:50:12-04:00The TO_CHAR function is described in the SQL Language reference manual:
http://download.oracle.com/docs/cd/B28359_01/server.111/b28286/sql_elements004.htm#sthref396
Look up "Format Models, Date" in the index.
To put boilerplate (that is, fixed) text , such as the letter 'T', in the output, include it in double-quotes.
TZH is the format specifier for Time Zone Hours, and TZM stands for Time Zone Minutes.

Having trouble getting my Lightroom 5.0 upgrade to accept my Lightroom 4.4 serial number.

I am having trouble getting my Lightroom 5.0 upgrade to accept my Lightroom 4.4 serial number. I recently installed Windows 8, 64 bit on a second solid state HD on my computer (had a virus problem for which I had to format C and reinstall everything). The new ss HD is drive C and my operating system and my programs are all installed there. All my documents and files are now stored on my original, reformatted drive, which is now drive D. I was using Windows 7, 64 bit. Could all this be the reason my serial number is not being recognized? PHH

Hi 48phh,
Yes Lightroom 5 takes the Serial Number of each previous version and you can do the Upgrade from any 1, 2 3, or 4 version of Lightroom,but somethig different for the Upgrade from the Mac App Store ... see how here: http://helpx.adobe.com/lightroom/kb/upgrade-mac-app-version-lightroom.html
you installed Windows 8 and installing only the operating system, but keeping all the app certainly and during the operation something can be lost, especially if you run Clean after installing the system by deleting the folder containing the old system, it's better to wait to do so.
However, no problem, because to do the 'Upgrade all you need is the old serial number and don't need Lightroom4 to be installed on your machine ...
more details here: http://blogs.adobe.com/lightroomjournal/2013/06/lightroom-5-hot-issues.html

Hi Christina, belated welcome to Apple Discussions if nobody said it already.
I've had some experiences with these new flash memory recording camcorders, and I'll give you a quick rundown of what I've learned. Many of them (JVC, Panasonic, etc.) tend to record in a .MOD file format, which is non-standard, proprietary, and unrecognizable by most software. I thought Canon was usually a little more standards-compliant, but it appears they also use this .MOD format in your specific camera model. There are likely a couple ways we can get around this though!
In order to play the files, you will likely need to change their file format (.MOD) to .AVI manually. You'll have to locate the files on your Mac, and then manually change the file names so that the file extension (after the period) is .AVI
At that point, a video player application such as http://www.videolan.org/vlc/download-macosx.html>VLC should play the files fine!
You should be able to transfer new video files from the camera to the Macbook Pro with no problems as well. Just plug in the camera to the computer via USB, and also make sure the camera is plugged in to charge. Once it's plugged in, open iMovie (came with the MBP, in the Applications folder) and the MBP should take care of the rest.
Let me know if you have any success with any of this!
FYI, the thread that I got some of the above information from is here:

Hi homero,
Thanks for your inputs.
XL.DefaultDateFormat = yyyy/MM/dd hh:mm:ss z
unlike the date format mentioned in the exception (yyyy-mm-dd hh:mm:ss.fffffffff)
Moreover, yyyy-mm-dd hh:mm:ss doesnot make much sense to me; It should be yyyy-MM-dd hh:mm:ss;
I concatenated the nanoseconds precision to the formatted date string and a different exception occurred this time in system validation stage.

Converting BPEL date format to Database Timestamp format

Hi all,
Is there any way to convert BPEL current-dateTime() format to database Timestamp format.
Sample BPEL current-dateTime(): *2011-07-14T11:51:06-04:00*
Sample Database Timestamp value: *14-JUN-11 11.51.06.936511000 AM*
If this is not possible, then could I get millisecond from any of the function used in BPEL? if yes, how?
Actually I need this to find out the time of invoke of a BPEL process upto millisecond.
Any help would be appreciated.

Re: Date conversion

(OIM) Timestamp format must be yyyy-mm-dd.....

Iam facing the following exception every time i try to save the user I have edited in the resouce profile
java.lang.IllegalArgumentException: Timestamp format must be yyyy-mm-dd hh:mm:ss[.fffffffff]
is there a way of editing the time stamp so that it should correspond to the afore said format?
I have tried naming one of the system cofigurations Default date and given it a keyword of rs.getDate() and a value of yyyy-mm-dd hh:mm:ss[.fffffffff]. But am still getting the same exception.

I really dont know what exaclty is the causative of this. Cause even when i do not have the date changed still, any changes that i make are not saved and the page page cannot be desplayed is displayed after clicking the save button.
But when i try to provision a new user to the resource, the provisioning is going on very well without any problems.
But when i try to edit the user's details pertaining to the resource they have been provisioned, thats when the TIMESTAMP FORMAT... issue and page cannot be desplayedarrises, .
Am using win2003 platform, and its OIM Version: 9.0.1.1561.0.
Could it be that the details after provisioning cannot be changed once provisioned?
Thanks

Timestamp format error

Hi,
While using the Oraclexml classes to
write an XML document to an 8.1.5 DB I get an error oracle.xml.sql.OracleXMLSQLException: Exception
'java.lang.IllegalArgumentException:Timestamp format must be yyyy-mm-dd
hh:mm:ss.fffffffff' encountered during processing ROW element 0All prior XML
row changes were rolled back. in the XML document. The data format in the file is
09/18/00 12:00:00.

If you're using it through the commandline, use the "dateFormat" option in putXML or getXML.
If you're using the OracleXMLSave class, there is the method "setDateFormat()" that you could use. OracleXMLQuery also has one.

Timestamp formats that include literal data in quotes

Is there an alternate way to specify literal text in timestamp formats, other than to quote it with double quotes? I am trying to work around a bug in SQLDeveloper (described below).
The formats I am using are:
timestamp: YYYY-MM-DD"t"HH24:MI:SS.FF6
timestamp tz: YYYY-MM-DD"t"HH24:MI:SS.FF6TZH:TZM
These formats work fine in sqlplus and in my application:
SQL> alter session set nls_timestamp_format = 'YYYY-MM-DD"t"HH24:MI:SS.FF6';
Session altered.
But when I use these them in the Database->NLS Parameters section in Preferences, I get the following error:
ORA-02248: invalid option for ALTER SESSION
If I remove the "t" from the middle, there are no errors in SQLDeveloper and the formats work correctly in the sql worksheet.
SQLDeveloper: 1.1.2.25 on Windows XP Pro
Oracle server: 9.2.0.5.0, 64bit running on Solaris

Hi JW,
if you want to track changes, implement the how-to paper about "line-items" (see SAP Service Marketplace). BPS layout will always show the latest data (price) and to show the history, you can use a simple BW query with drill-down on the timestamp.

New to CS6 Dreamweaver, creating a "Responsive Website" having trouble getting fluid divs to behave

Trying to create a "Responsive Website" and I'm having trouble getting my fluid divs that I create to "break" their link from the "Boilerplate" .
I'm using a "Fluid Grid layout Div" to create a section that has a transparent background of rgba(0,0,0,0.3) and that's perfect, then I add two more "Fluid Grid layout Div's" inside the transparent one to create a 2-column part in the section and that's where the trouble is.
None of the "formatting" I've set for the text in my ID's or Classes are being used - just reverts to what's in the "Boilerplate" i.e. "p,h2,h3" and I can't get it to "break" it's link the "Boilerplate" so I can apply my formatting.
I have been able to select my formatting at times but it is ignored and uses what's in the "Boilerplate".
Kept trying different ways to get it to work and now I've so many of both the ID's and Class's that their not all showing up as an option to be able select them.
I'm missing something basic and after two days it still escapes me.
Please somebody, tell me what I'm missing.

FluidGrid Layouts are not easy to learn. You need a good grasp of fundamental RWD concepts including CSS Media Queries. Keep your layout simple and be patient. The first time I used FGLayouts, I had to start over 9 times before I got acceptable results.

http://tv.adobe.com/watch/learn-dreamweaver-cs6/using-fluid-grid-layouts/
Best advice for beginners:
Build Mobile Layout first. Everything else is based on this primary layout. Then build Tablet layout and finally Desktop. Don't worry about content. Just build the layout & save often during development.
DO NOT TAMPER with the boilerplate.css or FGLayout.css code. Even experts can break the layout in a hurry. Use a separate external style sheet for content and typography styles.
If you're using CS6 ver 12.0, you cannot nest divs inside other divs. Everything must be inside the .gridContainer like this:
<body>
    <div class="gridContainer">
          <div> </div>
          <div> </div>
          <div> </div>
    </div>
</body>
