User defined function - error at runtime

Hi,
I have to write a small java mapping, which has to obtain a substring 1 to 4 characters from a 5 characters string.
I used graphical mapping and the following java mapping program
try
if(NodeId.length() == 5)
NodeId = NodeId.substring(1,4);
catch (Exception e)
NodeId = "NodeIdError";
return NodeId;
In both cases i am receiving an error.
regards,
Ramesh P

Hi,
Thanks for your quick reply.
I tested in Test bed of the design time but i am receiving error at runtime only.
Error is :
"="MAPPING">GENERIC
RuntimeException in Message-Mapping transformatio"

User Defined Function Error - Can't find function

Hi All,
Version: 11.1.1.4
I created a user defined function and added it to one of my BPEL Processes. I can see the function in JDeveloper and can compile the project without issue. We placed the jar file out on the SOA Server following the oracle user defined function examples. After placing the file out on weblogic I was able to successfully deploy the project.
Oracle Deployment Steps:
To deploy user-defined functions to runtime:
1. Copy the user-defined function JAR files to BEA_Home/user_projects/domains/domain_name/lib or a subdirectory of lib. Where domain_name is the name of the Oracle WebLogic Server domain (for example, soainfra).
2. Restart the Oracle WebLogic Server.However, when I try to run the composite application I get the below error. I am not really sure why it can't find the Function? The jar is out on the server and the jar was added to the project?
Error:

try putting the jar location explicitly in weblogic server's classpath i.e. add BEA_Home/user_projects/domains/domain_name/lib to wls classpath and restart server.

Hi All,
I was trying to create user defined function for raising exception if any mapping error occur according to the blog

i have create the jar file and imported the classes but my udf is not able to resolve the method defined in the class.
Please help me in how should i import the jar correctly?

User defined function error in Labview mathscript

I m Labview 2011 user. I had a problem when i use a user defined func in mathscript.
I have used it well, but it doent work suddenly. It looks like below.
function name turned to grey color suddenly. Plz help me.

The last time I dealt with this, it was very confusing. If I remember correctly, there were 3 different places that I had to set the correct search path for the .m file:
1) Tools>Options>MathScript
2) In the Project, right-click on My Computer and select Properties>MathScript
3) Tools>MathScript Window>File>LabVIEW MathScript Properties
The documentation seems to indicate that at least 1 and 2 should be the same and 3 only applies to that window, but like I said, last time I did this I remember having to change all three.
Good luck!

Need user define function for the message mapping structure

Hi All
I am new to XI.I need the java code for Udf for the following structure.
i have two input and one out put as error.
order_nos----
user define function-------error message
order_details----
num of orders---- i.e. 10
order_details------ i.e. whole order records details
1.i have to compare the 1st input with 2nd one means if the ist input contain 10 means there are 10 orders in 2nd input.if not then i have to give error message .
2.then i have to check the fields in 2nd input has no null values.if no values the output will be error message.

Error in simple user defined function

Hi all,
I have seen one simple user defined function on scenario. Now it is working fine. Same code I have used another place. But it is giving some errors
D:/usr/sap/C08/DVEBMGS00/j2ee/cluster/server0/./temp/classpath_resolver/Mapc6fa0c70297511dbaf7e00c09f4504e7/source/com/sap/xi/tf/_ST_MM_.java:3: package javax.mail.internet does not exist

Like that it has shown 13 errors. I have given the package names in imports field what previous function has.

Hi,
Please see this from SAP help
a. You can import Java packages to your methods from the Imports input field, by specifying them separated by a comma or semi-colon:
You do not need to import the packages java.lang., java.util., java.io., and java.lang.reflect. since all message mappings require these packages and therefore import them. You should be able to access standard JDK and J2EE packages of the SAP Web Application Server by simply specifying the package under Import. In other words, you do not have to import it as an archive into the Integration Repository. You can also access classes of the SAP XML Toolkit, the SAP Java Connector, and the SAP Logging Service (see also: Runtime Environment (Java-Mappings)).
In addition to the standard packages, you can also specify Java packages that you have imported as archives and that are located in the same, or in an underlying software component version as the message mapping.
b. Create your Java source text in the editor window or copy source text from another editor.

Error in User defined function

I have created a user defined function to make a call to SAP using JCo.
But I am getting an error "package com.sap.mw.jco does not exist"
Do we need to install JCo on our server?
Thanks in advance

Hallo Vijaya Kumari,
if you use XI3.0 then you should check csn note 753294:
Symptom
A message mapping contains a user-defined function that uses a class
from the "com.sap.mw.jco", "sapxmltoolkit" or "com.sap.tc.Logging"
library. An error stating that the source code contains syntax errors
occurs when you test or activate the message mapping. When you use a
class from "com.sap.mw.jco", the system reports, for example, "package
com.sap.mw.jco does not exist".
This error only occurs in systems containing a Support Package lower
than 5.
Solution
Import Support Package 5 or higher.
You can use the following workaround as a short-term solution: Upload
the library that is referenced in the message mapping into the software
component of the message mapping as an "imported archive". Do not
activate the "imported archive" with the library since it is not needed
for the runtime. The only purpose of the archive is to allow the message
mapping to be compiled. To avoid version conflicts with newer libraries,
you should delete the archive again after you import Support Package 5
or higher.
In your case you will find the relevant jar file in the path
[sap_j2ee_engine_installaltion_path]\cluster\server0\bin\ext\com.sap.mw.jco\jrfc.jar

Error in conditional map using User Defined Function

All,
In my mapping I basically have a user defined function that returns the filename of my inbound file from the adapter-specific message attributes (file adapter). I know this is coded properly because if I simply assign this function to my destination field I can see the filename in the payload XML.
However if I conditionally check that returned value using if,then,else I get an error message stating:
"During the application mapping com/sap/xi/tf/_MaterialData2ZcustProdMastMulti_ a com.sap.aii.utilxi.misc.api.BaseRuntimeException was thrown: RuntimeException in Message-Mapping transformation"
Essentially in my if I'm checking if the value returned by my user defined function is equal to the constant "SOMECONSTANT" then I'm setting my destination field to some other constant value. Otherwise it's equal to a different constant value.
Any thoughts?

Claus,
Thanks for the help. I actually had figured the problem out on my own. Sorry for not updating the thread sooner. What happened was this (as I suspected it wasn't related to my user defined function). For the newbies out there (of which I'm one) the problem was I was comparing strings in the graphical mapping tool using the Boolean "EQUALS" rather than the Text "EQUALSS".
Can you give yourself points for solving

How to resolve the error while using user defined function.

Error while using user defined function in reports

Hi,
When I use the below user defined function in oracle reports I got the wrong number of arguments error
select test_function(id,a_number,v_date-14,b_number) from dual;
If I remove -14 from the argument it works. But iIneed to subtract 14 days from the date.
Thanks for your help.

select test_function(id,a_number,v_date-14,b_number) from dual;
you have to give the command like this to_date(v_date,'dd-mon-yyyy')-14
because the v_Date you choose in the parameter form is not having the corrent date format
the format dd-mon-yyyy is the format in which v_date is passed by the user.

Error Using imported .JAR in user-defined function

Hi All,
I am trying to use jar files provided to me in user defined function as follows:
DataEncryption temp = new DataEncryption();
String ret = new String();
ret = temp.getEncryptedData(a);
return ret;
All jar files working perfectly in java software, But when i am trying to test the mappings by using above user-defined function.
I am catching the error and put in target field then, I am getting following message in target field:
"An error occured in getEncryptedData method : java.lang.SecurityException: The provider SunJCE may not be signed by a trusted party"
Please help in finding the error.

Check if the XI Server JRE is the same as the client machine on which you have compiled your JAR.
1.4 has had this issue and i remember seeing it in a few forums.The problem should not occure in 1.5

In Ref cursor, user defined functions give "invalid column" error in EJB.

Hello,
I have written PL/SQL stored procedures/functions in Oracle 8i. They return the result set as a ref cursor.
These procedures are accessed by EJB (weblogic) using Type 4 (100% Java) JDBC Driver.
My problem is - if I use a user defined function to fetch a value in the select statement of the reference cursor, the EJB gives an error msg - invalid column name.
If instead of using the function I get the value directly from the table, it works fine. Refer the code below :
//In the PL/SQL function -
//instead of writing :
Open rc for
Select empcode, empname
from emp ;
//If I write :
Open rc for
Select empcode, mypack.getempname(empcode)
from emp ;
//getempname(empcode) is a function in
//in a package named 'mypack'
//and returns name for empcode.
//The java code gives error
//error : invalid column name
//While both are working fine and
//returning currect result in SQL Navigator.
Help me solve this mystery ?
Thanks in advance.

Hi:
When use inline Function to simplify the SQL statements, there is one thing that one should conside--Purity Level.
if you create standalone stored pl/sql function. Oracle implicitly determines the PURITY level during compilation of the stored objects or at execution of an anonymous pl/sql block.
if you implement Package inline Function( in your case),unlike standalone stored pl/sql functions, the PL?SQL Engine does not determine the purity level of package functions. Therefore, you must explicity assign the correct purity levels for the function to be called inline.
the code like:
create or replace package mypack is
function getempname(empcode emp%empid%type)
return varchar2;
PRAGMA RESTRICT_REFERENCES(getempname,WNDS,WNPS,RNPS);
end mypack;
I think it can solve your problem if you use enough "pure"to be called inline function. Or you can create the standalone function to do it.

Hello,
I have written PL/SQL stored procedures/functions in Oracle 8i. They return the result set as a ref cursor.
These procedures are accessed by EJB (weblogic) using Type 4 (100% Java) JDBC Driver.
My problem is - if I use a user defined function to fetch a value in the select statement of the reference cursor, the EJB gives an error msg - invalid column name.
If instead of using the function I get the value directly from the table, it works fine. Refer the code below :
//In the PL/SQL function -
//instead of writing :
Open rc for
Select empcode, empname
from emp ;
//If I write :
Open rc for
Select empcode, mypack.getempname(empcode)
from emp ;
//getempname(empcode) is a function in
//in a package named 'mypack'
//and returns name for empcode.
//The java code gives error
//error : invalid column name
//While both are working fine and
//returning currect result in SQL Navigator.
Help me solve this mystery ?
Thanks in advance.
Swati.
