Use query results in transformation

Hello experts,
is it possible to use the results of a query to load data to a infocube?
We have an infocube containing detailed data. On this cube a query is built with a lot of calculated key figures. Now we would like to load these calculated key figures to a more aggregated cube.
Thanks in advance,
Ralph

I would look at the APD process that Edwin mentions. Typically, the way it would work is you use your query as input, writing the results to a DSO, then datamart the results form there to the cube.
APD could also be used to directly update a Mstr Data infoobject if that made more sense, then datamart that to he cube.
I'm not familiar with the CRM / falt file approach mentioned. Might be fine for what you want to do. The APD process has more options to perform additional manipulation of the data and even joining it with other query results if you wanted, plus the results end up in a DSO that I think might provide more options for retaining and managing the query results.
You can review the online help for APD, also SAP's Data Mining class BW380 (might have a new name for BI 7.0) covers this area.

Using Query Results in Queries

I understand how to "Using Query Results in Queries" through
this link:
http://www.adobe.com/livedocs/coldfusion/5.0/Developing_ColdFusion_Applications/queryDB11. htm;
However, does anyone know how to do this inside a component?
note: the first query gets parameters through a form and the second
query is called through a grid bind.

I didn't read the link, but there are two ways to use query
results in other queries. At least two that I know about.
One is to use valuelists. Since your link was for Cold Fusion
5, that's probably what they mentioned.
The other is with Query of Queries.
You do it in a component the same way you do it in a
template.

How to use query-result as a new query-fiter

HI, All
Is it possible to execute sub-query filtererd by the pre-query-reslted lists ?
As far as I investigated, only way to do is that I combine two suject-areas by using set operations like "Union" or around.
But in this way, there is an impractical restriction to define these datatype and column in common. (namely, "Union" conditions)
I just want to query filtered by ex-query-results at anytime; for example, I extract a customer lists by one query and use various analysis in the group of customer list.
Please give me some advise.
Regards

First create a Request with your FilterQuerey. Secund Create a Request und create a Filter. Under Advanced you will find the path to the first Requst. Than you can select the columns.
Thats it :-)

Use Query Results as XML?

Hey all, I searched the forums but didn't find anything that
quite fit this particular issue, I'm hoping someone can help me
out.
I am storing a string of text in a database field. It's an
XML string (not technically, but it's formatted to BE xml).
I am pulling this from the database in ColdFusion and trying
to use it as XML, but having no luck. I can get as far as pulling
it and dumping the data and I get this:
<root><Booleanval>on</Booleanval><SuperDooperSelector>1</SuperDooperSelector><ContentBody> words</ContentBody><ContentTitle>AWESOME</ContentTitle><DocumentName>Content
1</DocumentName></root>
It's a test so the values are a bit goofy but it appears as
it should nonetheless. I am wondering if there is a way I can parse
this into actual XML and access these attributes the same way I
normally would in ColdFusion. It won't let me use XMLParse(#myvar#)
because it is technically a query.
Does anyone know how I can use this data as XML in
ColdFusion?

Use Query Results in Subsequent Query

Is it possible to use a value returned in query number one in
query number two as the "where"? For example, Box Number is
returned in query number one, and I want to query again for
additional information based upon the box number.

Yeah, it is just a variable and can be used as anyplace
another variable
can be used.
But when one is doing this kind of thing at least 8 out of 10
times, it
can be done with a single query with a proper join.

Edited by: sachin.mali on Oct 26, 2010 4:43 PMYOu'll have to have sqlplus spool the output to a file, then figure out some way of parsing that file. Too bad you're stuck with Windows. With any *nix you could do the file parsing with one line of code.

Problem in using query-database() function in Transformation

Hi All,
I am using JDev and SOA 10.1.3.4.
I have an async process.
In that I am doing a transformation in which source is InputVariable and target is result.
In Transformation I am using query-database function to fetch a record from DB and am assigning that to result.
*<xsl:value-of select='orcl:query-database(concat("select ename from emp where empid=",/ns1:DBXSLProcessRequest/ns1:input),false(),false(),"jdbc:oracle:thin:scott/tiger@localhost:1521:abcd")'/>*
I am not getting any error but query-database is not returning any thing I maen it is returning null.
If i run that query in SQL prompt it is returning the empname.
Please help me out.
Regards
PavanKumar.M

Hi Pavan
I tried following in BPEL transform actvity's XSL file, and it works fine and returns the sysdate for me.
<xsl:value-of select='orcl:query-database("select sysdate from dual",false,false,"jdbc/myDS")'/>
Can you try above in new XSL file of Transform activity and let me know its gives you the result? if it works you can start making changes according to your requirement.
steps to follow:
1.create connection pool in EM, and make sure its working fine by using test on connection pool.
2.create Datasource and point to above created connection pool. and restart the oc4j_soa
3.rename the xsl file name of transform activity in BPEL and use above query-database function.some times xsl files are cached even if you make changes it will not take effect so for testing if you rename it will be good.
Thanks

Sending email using PL/SQL based on a query result

Hello all,
I want to create a procedure using PL/SQL, based on a query result.Here is the scenario:
I have multiple tables in Target and Source databases that I want to compare(not the whole table but queries on these tables) and if they differ, I want to shoot an email. I have some ideas how to implement this but not sure whether it is the best approach.
select Acct_id, total from SourceTableA
minus
select Acct_id, total from TargetTableA
select Acct_id, sum from SourceTableB
minus
select Acct_id, sum from TargetTableB
If the result of any of above queries > 0 then I want to shoot an email and want to repeat this procedure in the morning every day.
I know how to implement send_mail procedure using UTL_SMTP package and how to schedule tha job by dbms_job package. But I am not sure how to implement the result of minus query. In case if minus > 0 then I also want to send the name of tables in the email message where source and target tables are not same. Should i use cursor, variable or insert the result in a new table? any help would be highly appreciated. Thanks in advance.
Khan

Actually these queries are the part of our daily testing that we run everyday manually(after the scheduled ETL load) to see if there are any discrepencies between our datawarehouse tables and source tables. So instead of running these queries manually everyday we want to schedula a procedure that will shoot an email in case of any discrepency and indicate which tables have problems.

How to use one query results in another query

hi,
in help.sap I have founded that using variable type replacement path I can use one query results in another query. It is wrote there that I have to choose query name results I want to get in variable definition but I do not know where.
How I can do this?

Hi Andrzej,
please check out this thread: Set parameters values depending on other parameters

My last column needs to be Entitlement which should be the carry over of 2012 + carry over of 2013 = 31 - which should be my entitlement for 2013.
Not sure if that makes any sense.
Please see images attached.
Is there a way to do this with no ABAP, as I am not able to write the customer exit.
Thank you

You may try with Cell definitions concept by introducing a "Calyear structure" in rows and define 2013 cell accordingly. Rest all cells other than in Entitle ment KF take the definitions of their respective CKFs/RKFs. Leave all cells blank other than 2013 in Entitlement KF.
Remove Calyear infoobject which is there currently in rows pane and then create a structure in place of it. Every year, you will need to enhance the Calyear structure and make the cell definitions accordingly as per your business requirement.
Please have a look at my blog to get a brief idea on what I am saying.

Export query result to csv using Export Wizard

Been a decade since I last used Oracle and related tools.
I had to use Oracle server again, I have a query over multiple tables, I am to run a scheduled script that will spit out the query result as a csv file.
I started with SQL Developer Export wizard, in step "Specify Data", I am at a loss, where to specify the query itself? I see a Name,Schema,Type input, a text area below, Up,UpAll,Down,DownAll buttons etc etc. Where do I specify my query here? Can someone please help?
Is this the best way to go about to schedule a data export (query to csv) daily?

To export a user query rather than a whole table, run it in a worksheet and export using the context menu on the result grid. However none can be scheduled.
Instead you can look at the SPOOL command and schedule it through SQL*Plus. Any questions can go to the iSQL*Plus and/or SQL And PL/SQL forum.
Have fun,
K.
