Use of Decition Table as a CASE parameter giving Dump.

Hi All,
   I am trying to use dicision table as a case statement parameter when I try to select the decision table in the parameter system is going for dump I believe that I can have the DT as a case paramete. Decision table has only one result column. based on that result I would like to do different formulas please let is allowed to use DT in case statement parameter ??
for example:
I have a DT DEC_TAB created and it has 5 columns and 4 columns are used to determine the 5th column and 5th column based on the 5th column value I would like to carry out diffrent activity.
like
CASE DEC_TAB
WHEN '10'
   Some other DT to be called
WHEN '20'
   Some other DT to be called.
Help is appriciated.

Lohith

Hi Lohith,
I am not sure if all corrections can be omplemented with notes. Anyway, you should open a message for SAP support.

Table Maintenance screen giving dump

Hi All
I have inserted a new key field in a existing Z table. After that i have adjusted the database and tried to recreate the table maintenance generator, it is giving the warning message as follows
Table ZUPI_WIP is extendable without limits
Field ZUPI_WIP-REVAL_FLAG shortened (new visible length: 000015)
Field ZUPI_WIP-MATNR shortened (new visible length: 000009)
Field ZUPI_WIP-REVAL_FLAG shortened (new visible length: 000007)

Field ZUPI_WIP-REVAL_FLAG shortened (new visible length: 000003)
When i tried to maintain this table through SM30 it is giving dump.
Kindly help me in resolving this issue.
Thanks & Regards

Hi!
You are making changes in the ztable after u have created the table maintenence generator so you need to again modify the table maintenece generator code also.
so,
in the table maintenence screen you must do these steps....like
go this way...
Utilities->table maintenence generator
there
in generated objects->change .
check all screens and modify the table maintenece generator.
the error will be removed.
also the errors are warnings actually the source code is taking that much lenght in its source code try to shorten the field lenghts for which u are getting errors.
If you still have issues plz revert yout query.

Why we use Tables statement in case of using SELECT-OPTIONS:

hi all,
Why we use Tables statement in case of using the following coding in an ABAP program ...
tables: vbak.
SELECT-OPTIONS: s1 for vbak-vbeln.
here if we dont provide the tables statement why it does not work ????
pls answwer ....???

Hi
This statement is not allowed in classes and declares a data object table_wa as a table work area whose data type is adopted from the identically named structured data type table_wa from the ABAP Dictionary. table_wa must be defined as a flat structure in the ABAP Dictionary. You can specify database tables or Views for table_wa.
Work table areas declared with TABLES are interface work areas and should only be declared in the global declaration section of a program for the following purpose:
reward if usefull
The statement TABLES is required for exchanging data between screen fields that were defined in a program screen when transferring from the ABAP Dictionary and the ABAP program. For the screen event PBO, the content of the table work area is transferred to identically named screen fields; for PAI, the system adopts the data from identically named screen fields.
In executable programs, flat table work areas can be used for adopting data that were provided for the event GET table_wa from a linked logical database. TABLES is synonymous with the statement NODES for this purpose.
Work table areas declared with TABLES behave like the data declared with the addition COMMON PART, meaning the data are used by the programs of a program group.
Table work areas declared with TABLES can be declared in subroutines and
function modules. However, this is not recommended. A table work area declared in a procedure is not local but belongs to the context of a framework program. The table work area can be viewed starting from the declaration in the framework program and lives as long as the framework program. In contrast to normal program-global data, the content of the table work areas declared in subroutines and function modules is stored temporarily when these subroutines and function modules are called. Value assignments that were made during runtime of the procedure are preserved until the procedure is completed. When exiting the procedure, the table work areas are filled with the contents that they contained when the procedure was called. Table work areas declared in procedures behave like global data to which the statement LOCAL is applied in the procedure.
The form TABLES * is obsolete.

Reg Using , Changing and Tables

hi all,
I am using select-options for matnr.
i am using an internal table with matnr, mbrsh , mtart fields .
i want to use subroutine with using matnr and changing it_mara.
So in the FORM and ENDFORM block how to declare the variables in the FORM stmt.
If i use LIKE its working. but i want to use TYPE stmt. Please help in solving the problem. If possible please provide any small example
Sample code is as follows:
perform get_data using      s_matnr
                    changing it_mara.
FORM get_data USING    P_S_MATNR type XXXXXXXXX
               CHANGING P_IT_MARA type XXXXXXXX
               select .....from mara into p_it_mara where matnr in p_s_matnr.
ENDFORM.
<REMOVED BY MODERATOR>
Thanks in advance.
Thanks and Regards.

NO need for using parameter in your case. as you are using select options simply use changing parameters alone.
perform get_data changing it_mara.
FORM get_data CHANGING P_IT_MARA type XXXXXXXX
select .....from mara into p_it_mara where matnr in s_matnr.
ENDFORM.

How to load the data using a plsql table in ODI.

Hi All ,
Can anyone help me on this ?
We have a PLSQL procedure which returns a plsql table as out parameter.
We are supposed to load the data in to a file using this plsql table (Table type) in ODI.
Can this be done using ODI?

Hi,
We have one process with a ref cursor (Oracle) as a source and remote Oracle DB as a target. I ended up writing my own KM that populates a global temporary table from the cursor first and then transfers the data to target. If temporary table is an option for you, the rest is pretty easy.

Use of Association Tables in Place of FK's -- O/R Mapping

We are currently in the process of redesigning one of our systems following an OO model to be implemented in Java. Our current Oracle database is 8.1.7. We care coding sql in JDBC directly without the use of mapping tools. My role in the project is a jr. schema dba.
The oo designer on our team objects to holding foreign key attributes in the Java classes when (form the object model's perspective) they aren't need (i.e. using collections will indicate parent-child relationships).
To get around the "foreign key problem" the oo designer is pushing for the use of "association tables" in the database to replace foreign key relationships. The designer and other members of the team (the sr. schema dba) cite literature on O/R mapping which suggests that this technique is a valid and viable approach.
So as a simple example...
DEP EMP
=======          =======
# dep_no     # emp_no
dep_name     dep_no
          emp_name
Becomes...
DEP EMP          A_DEP_EMP
=======          =======     =========
# dep_no     # emp_no     # dep_no
dep_name     emp_name     # emp_no
Where A_DEP_EMP is the association table showing the relationship between department and employee.
To me it seems like we are making poor and unnecessary database design decisions to support the object model. My objections to this association table approach is that we are failing to use the inherent strengths of the a relational database:
1) Both the dep and emp must exist before the association is built (assuming the association has FK's to the DEP and EMP tables) -- and yes I'm aware delaying the enforcement of FKs until commit time is an option
2) The model does not protect against inserting orphaned emps into the EMP table (assuming we'd want to protect against this)
3) The association table indicates a N:M cardinality. Assuming the design calls for a 1:M cardinality a UK on the emp_no column in the association table would be required. When I brought this up, the sr. schema dba raised concerns about the overhead of the UK and suggested that the application would be responsible for enforcing the cardinality requirements.
The alternative that seems more appealing is managing the FK details in a persistence layer of the Java classes (currently the notion of separate view and entity objects is absent in our design -- the database interface is directly in each low-level java class).
If i am correct in my understanding of Oracle's implementation of BC4J the foreign keys are handled in the persistence layer (view object) with out the need for actively maintaining them in the entity Object. Other O/R mapping models also seem to suggest that this is the way to go (e.g. Martin Fowler's recommendations http://www.martinfowler.com/isa/).
So my question for the community at large:
- Which approach would you use?
- Has anyone been working with association tables in place of foreign keys? If so what are your experiences?
- am i off-base with my objections?
any feedback / comments much appreciated

Martin,
I have seen these kind of discussions over and over again and now you happen to be right in the middle of one. Without going into technical details some statements that might help:
1) object model designers and relational model designers will NEVER 'agree' since the techniques used are, by nature, too different (they solve different problems, which is fine, but when you start to talk about them they give problems)
2) my experience is that they do not have to 'agree', as long as they can 'work alongside eachother'. You are not there to tell the object designers how to do their work the same way they are not there to tell you how to do your job.
3) as a senior DBA, I regard it my primary task to enforce regulations that will make the data stored as meaningfull and correct as possible. If I'm following relational principles to do so, I will use all of them where I find them applicable regardless how that data is used later on. Any suggestion by any person that undermines this principle will not get implemented. Exceptions (<0.1%) not taken into account. Also, there is a 'political correct' way of telling this and a 'bold' way.
4) choose the 'political correct' one since it will save you a lot of stress :)
5) if you violate rule 3, and shit happens, you will be held accountable (and rightfully so).
6) if you have a more senior person telling you what to do, do it, but state your concerns very clearly in an email and save that mail + reply somewhere safe for future discussions. Refer to this if shit happens and you are, unrightfully so, held accountable.
7) as a DBA, never trust application logic to enforce data integrity. It is your job, not the application developer's and you have the facilities to do so much easier than the app dev. Application developers don't have a primary task of testing data integrity, if it looks ok on the screen they pass their tests. you on the other hand perform special tests they don't. This is your additional value to the project.
8) in oracle 8i and above I found the use of views and 'in stead of'-triggers very usefull for mimicing objects. Object designers/developers think they get simple tables they can map objects to and underneatch you yourself check everything is ok. The disadvantage of this is that you need to do some extra work not easily accounted for and might run into some performance issues, but that is your challange as you want to become a senior DBA ;). The advantage is that the discussion is over :) and reporting and other, none object applications can interface more easily (which might be an actual design decisive argument, I've used it successfully multiple times).
9) try to stay away from discussions of how things are done best between the two methods and why one method 'is better' than the other. Try to find a workable solution that will violate the least of the two designing principles and implement that.
A lot is dependent on your project and it might be that in your case these senior people are quite right in their suggestions, but I've found that the above 'rules' work most of the time for me. I hope they at least give you something to think about. From what I read from your post, it sounds like you know the technical pros and cons but you have a tough time communicating to your peers. Perhaps these rules help a bit.
Success,
Lennert

JPA - TroubleShooting - Error in Datatypes used in Creating Tables

h1. JPA - TroubleShooting - Error in Datatypes used in Creating Tables
h2. Error Description
The error appears when JPA is trying to automatically
generate tables from Entities. It uses types it shouldn't because they aren't
supported by the Database Engine. If you examine the createDDL.jdbc file you
are going to find not supported data types. You could run the statements that
are listed there directly to your Database Engine and find out that they don`t
run generating syntax errors like the error posted below.

h2. TroubleShooting
Looks like it wants "NUMERIC", not "NUMBER".
[http://www.postgresql.org/docs/8.1/interactive/datatype.html#DATATYPE-NUMERIC]
I had this problem using Firebird. I found out it had to do
with the database jdbc driver. I tried using a different database engine, like
Microsoft SQL Server 2000 with the corresponding driver and it worked as it
should. I suspect the JDBC driver has to supply in some way the datatypes it
supports to JPA TopLink Library.
Edited by: juanemc2 on Apr 1, 2008 7:39 AM

In Hibernate you can supply the "dialect" to use for SQL generation. I assume TopLink to have a similar functionality.
This is not a generic JPA issue, but rather something with the specific implementation you're using.
Or rather it is a generic SQL issue, caused by different database engines using slightly (or not so slightly) different SQL syntax which causes problems when generating SQL automatically.

Convert data in table to mix case

Hi All,
I have a table that contains data.
This table has to columns, an id and description.
I would like to update my table to convert data to mix case.
As of now, all of my data in the table are lower case.
What I mean by mix case is first letter for each word is uppercase and the rest are lower case.
is there a function i can use ?
example:
Amended/Resentence, Type UnknownThanks

You can use the INITCAP function.
update table
set description = INITCAP(description);Example:
create table test (description varchar(50));
Table created
insert into test values ('amended/resentence, type unknown');
1 row inserted
select * from test;
DESCRIPTION
amended/resentence, type unknown
update test set description = initcap(description);
1 row updated
select * from test;
DESCRIPTION
Amended/Resentence, Type Unknown

Passing PL/SQL table type as IN Parameter to DB Adapter

Hi,
I have an requirement to pass multiple record values(array of values) to an API from BPEL process.
For this,
1) I have created a package procedure having PL/SQL table type variable as IN Parameter.
2) In the BPEL process, created a DB adpater pointing to the above API.(Created wrapper API impicitly)
When I intiated the BPEL process passing multiple values, the API is taking only the first value, ignoring rest of the values.
Any reason, why only the first value is accepted by the API ?
Thanks,
Rapp.

If I understand correctly, JPublisher generates a wrapper API for an underlying API that takes a PL/SQL table as an IN parameter. The wrapper will generate and use a SQL nested table as the type for the IN parameter of the wrapper procedure.
The DB adapter DOES support nested tables, varrays, and objects as IN parameters of an API. The problem you are seeing is most likely due to the way you are modeling your BPEL process, specifically with respect to your Assign activities.
When you Assign TO an IN parameter, make sure that you drill down all the way and choose the parameter name in the InputParameters root element. Similarly, when you Assign FROM the API value, you must drill down and choose the name of the OUT parameter in the OutputParameters root element.
In a Transform activity, you would use the FOR construct on the target side to get the values of the nested table or varray from the source side.

Using Field/Column Date Value In Case Statement

I have code that the first part works (the part that evaluates null). However, it appears the second part doesn't work. The error I get is:
Data Value out of range
Can you use the a table column value in a Case statement? What I'm trying to do is: where all mbr06..values are 12/31/9999, then null; if mbr06.. values are equal to or less than today's date, then put the value in mbr02.mbr02_cancel_proc_date..
Note, the table MBR02 does have dates that go back as far as 11/17/1858..could that be an issue?
Thanks for any assistance..
            cast((case
            when mbr06.mbr06_exp_date = to_date('31-dec-9999') then null
            when mbr06.mbr06_exp_date <= sysdate then mbr02.mbr02_cancel_proc_date

The error is due to the CAST, not to the CASE.
Cause: Value from cast operand is larger than cast target size.Post at least the whole cast ...

BADI cant use an internal table with header line

hi,
In BADI, we cant use an internal table with header line, and I am calling a function module which requires internal table as import parameter, now, the table I am passing is without a header line, So how to solve this problem ?

You can use a type and then create an internal table of that type.
types :
begin of t_<example>
*field list
end of t_<example>
data :
gt_<table> type standard table of t_<example>
pass this to the FM

Cannot Drop table with lower case name

Hi,
One of my developer created a table through application in oracle 10g R2,
when I list tables
select * from tab;
the table name is shown in lower case or Initcap.
I cannot drop or manipulate that table.
How can I drop that table(s)?
Thanks & Regards,
Fahim

use the same case what your table has used and put double quotes on both sides for example if your table is lower case use like:
DROP TABLE "your_table";HTH

How to find memory used by page tables

Is there a way to find out how much memory is currently being used by page tables? I am new to Solaris ;-)
I want to quantify the advantages of Intimate Shared Memory (in the context of a large Oracle database with lots of concurrent users). I want to contrast this against Linux which does not have a method of allowing different processes to share page tables that map onto shared memory. Thus, with a large number of concurrent connections where each connection creates a new process that maps onto the Oracle shared memory, a significant amount of memory can be consumed just by the page table entries.

Yes, a very recent acquisition :-) ......I'm busy working my way through it, just taught myself about mdb today but I still can't figure how to get the amount of memory being used by page tables only. The dcmd ::memstat can give me the total amount of memory being used by the kernel but I would like some more detail than that.
On Linux you can simply look at /proc/meminfo and it contains a wealth of information. I was hoping Solaris would be similar....but isn't that always the case when doing something new? We hope it's like what we already know :-) Below is an example from Linux showing that 1860 kB have been to store page table entries.
[root@makalu ~]# cat /proc/meminfo | grep PageTables
PageTables: 1860 kB
[root@makalu ~]#
