Use of xdofx:Instr function in a RTF template

I'm trying to use the xdofx:Instr function within a RTF template but am running into problems because the code produces an error. The following code worked before the data changed:
<?if:number(DS_SEQ)=1 and( M_TRANTYPE='F')?>
Now my M_TRANTYPE comes back as 'F,H' so I thought I would use the xdofx:Instr function. I redid the RTF code to read:
<?if:number(DS_SEQ)=1 and( xdofx:Instr(M_TRANTYPE,'F',1)>0 )?>
but this fails. I've tried other combinations but they also fail:
<?if:xdofx:Instr(M_TRANTYPE,'F',1)>0 ?>
<?if: xdofx:Instr('abc','a',2) >0?>
Can the xdofx:Instr be used in an "if" construct or am I missing something about its proper use?
Alex.

Alex,
Instr appears to be fine... check the xdofx syntax.
i.e.
<?xdofx: if Instr(M_TRANTYPE,'F',1)>0 then DISPLAY_XXX end if?>

Issue with ROUND function in RTF template

Hi All,
Can anyone please help me in implementing the ROUND function at the RTF template.
Need to handle rounding of amounts at the RTF template level itself.
The ROUND function should be implemented to the following tags:
<?sum(current-group()/TAXABLE_AMOUNT)?> (Record level)
<?sum(TAXABLE_AMOUNT)?> (Report level total)
Eg. If the Sum(current-group()/TAXABLE_AMOUNT) for a particular record is 401.65 then it should round of to 402
we try to do this using following syntax ..
1) by declaring variable "value"
<?xdoxslt:set_variable($_XDOCTX, value, sum(current-group()/TAXABLE_AMOUNT))?>
2) <?xdofx:round(sum(current-group()/TAXABLE_AMOUNT))?>
3)<?xdofx:round(xdoxslt:sum(current-group()/TAXABLE_AMOUNT))?>
but we ding get the solution.
A quick response on this is highly appreciable.
Thanks,
Praveen

Multiple PS Query Data Sources in RTF Template

Is it possible to use two PS Queries as Data Sources on an RTF template in XML Publisher?
There is a field in the main Data Source (PS Query) that needs to join to some other tables. This slows down the query considerably even after tweaking the join and tuning, etc. Instead of doing the join in the main PS Query Data Source, can we do any of these?
1. Do a select statement inside an RTF template Form Field?
2. Use two PS Queries on the same RTF template?
3. Import a sub template that uses its own PS Query Data Source for the field?
Hope this makes sense. Thank you.

You can have multiple data models and then use the 'concatenated SQL data source' to generate a single xml file that includes data based on both queries. You can not do a select statement inside a RTF template.
Within the RTF template you can write logic to join the two data sets... see this blog post:http://blogs.oracle.com/xmlpublisher/entry/formatting_concatenated_dataso

Error while using CURRENTMEMBER property in INSTR function

Hi,
I am looking for SQL 'LIKE' operator equivalent solution in MDX and I tried the below query.
SELECT FILTER([Company].Members, INSTR([Company].CURRENTMEMBER.NAME,"AA") >0) on columns from temp1.db
The above query is not compiling due to CURRENTMEMBER propery in INSTR function.
When I replaced [Company].CURRENTMEMBER.NAME with a constant "AABB", then the query is working fine.
SELECT FILTER([Company].Members, INSTR("AABB","AA") >=0) on columns from temp1.db
Also, CURRENTMEMBER is working fine outside INSTR function.
SELECT FILTER([Company].Members, [Company].CURRENTMEMBER.[GEN_NUMBER] = 1) DIMENSION PROPERTIES GEN_NUMBER on columns from temp1.db
Is CURRENTMEMBER property not supported in INSTR? I am using Hyperion Provider Services 9.3.1.
Is there any other solution for SQL 'LIKE' operator equivalent in MDX?
Thanks in advance,
Anil.

With Essbase 9.3.1 it ought to work. The following is a simple query that works for me:
select
filter (
     [Market].Members,
     Instr (1,
          [Market].CurrentMember.MEMBER_NAME,
          "e"
     ) > 0
) on axis(0)

Set variable to result of instr function

I am trying to set a variable to the result of the instr function. I am getting the error Caused by: oracle.xdo.parser.v2.XPathException: Namespace prefix 'xdofx' used but not declared.
My code is as is below <?xdoxslt:set_variable($_XDOCTX,’POS1’, xdofx:Instr (LINE_ITEM_DESCRIPTION,'|',1,1))?>
I know in the documentation it says "You cannot mix xdofx statements with XSL expressions in the same context" is this such a case? If so how do I go about getting the result of Isntr into a variable?
Thanks a ton

Problem with extended SQL functions in RTF Template

Hello,
I'm new to BI Publisher and I'm trying to create a new rtf template. I've created my layout and added fields without any problems, but I'm having trouble trying to insert calculations such as add,substract,multiply,divide, etc.
Here is an example of what I'm trying to do:
<?xdofx:STAFF_ASMT+100?>
Where STAFF_ASMT is one of my fields. When I add this function all I get is the actual value from that field returned on the first page, and then on other pages I get the value plus an extra zero.
So with my example data below I get: 6600 on page 1 and 51830 on page 2. Any ideas on what I'm doing wrong or if it is possible to do what I'm doing? Also, is it possible to add/substract/multiple two or more fields together?
Something like this: <?xdofx:STAFF_ASMT+GROSS_INV?>
I was going to add all of these functions to my SQL statement, but I have 30 or so calculations I want to perform in the layout and I don't want to have to write that all out in SQL.
<ROWSET>
<ROW>
<STAFF_ASMT>6600</STAFF_ASMT>
<GROSS_INV>0</GROSS_INV>
</ROW>
<ROW>
<STAFF_ASMT>5183</STAFF_ASMT>
<GROSS_INV>0</GROSS_INV>
</ROW>
</ROWSET>
Thanks for your help

How to use Table valued MSSQL function in OBIEE

Hi all,
Can some one help me to understand how to use table valued function in OBIEE? I want to use a table valued function (MSSQL function, with some input parameter), in the physical layer to pull the data?
I know for MSSQL Stored Procedure we can write as
EXEC SP_NAME @Parameter = 'VLUEOF(NQ_SESSION.Variablename)'
but now I have a table valued function in the query window I can get the data as
select * from myfunction(parametervalue)
In physical layer of OBIEE I have tried as
select * from myfunction('VLUEOF(NQ_SESSION.Variablename)'), but I'm getting error as the NQ_SESSION variable doesn't have a value , but actually I have initialized the variable but still Im getting error.
Can some one help me to solve this.
Thanks,

Not able to use @section and Sort within a group in RTF Template

When i try to use sort with for-each-group@section in my template, the Output Post processor is throwing the following exception
Caused by: oracle.xdo.parser.v2.XSLException: <Line 31, Column 84>: XML-22047: (Error) Invalid instantiation of 'xsl:sort' in 'fo:flow' context.
My tags in the RTF template are as below:
<?for-each-group@section:G_PERSON_ID;./DEPT?><?sort:DEPT;'ascending';data-type='text'?>
-- there are 2 more groups within this.
<?end for-each-group?>
I don't get the error if i remove @section from the above tag in my RTF template.
OR
IF i remove the sort tag and keep the @section , it still works.
I need the "sort" so that i can sort the output by department number and I need the "section" so that i can acheieve context based header title for the page using the tag given below in the header area of the word RTF doc. The DEPT number should change as per the data shown in the report.
DEPT <?DEPT?> CLASSIFICATION SENIORITY LISTING BY CLASS CODE & DATE
I am stuck with either being able to use the Sort or the Header feature but not both.
I guess that section is needed for the context based header title to work, because all the data shown in the current page should correspond to only one single DEPT value (to make the Header title consistent with the data). But i dont get why i am not able to sort. The exception from OPP simply beats me. Please help!!
I am using the XML Pub Desktop 5.6.2 to develop my templates.
Is there any way to acheive this? Can someone throw some light on this.
Thanks in advance.

Help About says I'm on 20.0.1
Up until last week, I was able to use the tab key when typing emails and other multi-line text boxes.
Suddenly the behavior of the tab key changed. This isn't the first time. It's been quite a while ago that the function of the tab key changed from indenting to moving around the page, then after some time it changed back to indenting.
Can we get this fixed and leave it alone, please?
I may give one of those add-ins a try, but my problem with add-ins is that they break when FF is patched or upgraded, then I'm left with out the solution they provide.
Can we just fix Firefox, please?
Thanks,
Frank
P.S. Another potential fix I came across suggested starting FF in safe mode to see if the problem goes away. It does not. It seems to be a change to FF that appeared after an update last week. On or just befor 24 Apr.

Dynamic PL/SQL & substr, instr function

I am having trouble with incorporating the SUBSTR and INSTR functions into my dynamic PL/SQL procedure using Oracle 8i.
I have data that is packed into one column seperated by a delimiter (':')
I need to seperate the data to use indicidual pieces.
If I run my query in general -
select substr(secondcol, 1, instr(secondcol, ':',1,1)-1) ONE,
substr(secondcol,instr(secondcol, ':',1,1)+1,instr(secondcol, ':',1,1)-1) TWO,
substr(secondcol,instr(secondcol, ':',1,2)+1,instr(secondcol, ':',1,1)-1) THREE,
substr(secondcol,instr(secondcol, ':',1,3)+1,instr(secondcol, ':',1,1)-1) FOUR
from temp_table where firstcol=100
This works and gives me the right result.
e.g
DATA :
Firstcol SECONDCOL
100 1:2:3:4
Result:
ONE TWO THREE FOUR
1 2 3 4
However to make this generic if I use it in a function passing it a parameter which has ':' delimited data it does not work and gives me errors. All I want is to get the output as a string that looks like my query above so I can use it in my proc.
create or replace function MYJUNK(TFieldNew IN CHAR)
RETURN CHAR IS
UpdateString Varchar2(100);
BEGIN
UpdateString := 'First=substr('||TFieldNew||', 1, instr('||TFieldNew||', '':'',1,1)-1) ONE, ';
UpdateString := UpdateString || ' Second=substr('||TFieldNew||', instr('||TFieldNew||', '':'',1,2)+1, instr('||TFieldNew||', '':'',1,1)-1) TWO, ';
UpdateString := UpdateString || ' third=substr('||TFieldNew||', instr('||TFieldNew||', '':'',1,3)+1, instr('||TFieldNew||', '':'',1,1)-1) THREE from temp_table';
return UpdateString;
END;
The function compiles but gives me run time errors
This is what I get -
SQL> select myjunk('''1:2:3:4''') from dual;
select myjunk('''1:2:3:4''') from dual
ERROR at line 1:
ORA-06502: PL/SQL: numeric or value error
ORA-06512: at "SGHDTA.MYJUNK", line 8
ORA-06512: at line 1

You are getting an error because updatestring is longer than the 100 characters you defined it as. Try using VARCHAR2(4000). Also, if you are trying to generate the sql statement, you need to get rid of first=, second= and third= when you build the string.
This is what your function returns. I put in line breaks for clarity:
First=substr('1:2:3:4', 1, instr('1:2:3:4', ':',1,1)-1) ONE,
Second=substr('1:2:3:4', instr('1:2:3:4', ':',1,2)+1, instr('1:2:3:4',':',1,1)-1) TWO,
third=substr('1:2:3:4', instr('1:2:3:4', ':',1,3)+1,instr('1:2:3:4', ':',1,1)-1) THREE
from temp_tableIf you are trying to actually parse the column, then you need something more like:
create or replace procedure MYJUNK(TFieldNew IN VARCHAR2,out1 OUT VARCHAR2,
                                   out2 OUT VARCHAR2, out3 OUT VARCHAR2) is
BEGIN
   out1 := SUBSTR(TFieldNew,1, INSTR(TFieldNew,':',1,1)-1);
   out2 := SUBSTR(TFieldNew, INSTR(TFieldNew,':',1,2)+1, INSTR(TFieldNew,':',1,1)-1);
   out3 := SUBSTR(, INSTR(TFieldNew,':',1,3)+1, INSTR(TFieldNew,':',1,1)-1);
END;
