Using a SQL Query in an Alert and Matching a String

I've created an alert in 12.0.4 using a SQL Query and the field that I'm trying to match is a string. Originally the query returned multiple rows but when the alert still didn't fire, I modified the query WHERE clause to return only one row:
NAME RESPONSE
Are area lights working? No
My expression in the metric is RESPONSE. In the Monitor I'm matching a string equal to No. (Do I need double quotes around the matchvalue? Single quotes? No quotes?) The metric is in the 15min scan group, the role is xMII Developers and I'm in that role. The monitor alert string is ' = '. Both metric and monitor are active and I've subscribed to the monitor. Other alerts in the 15min scan group (all based on tag queries) are firing off properly.
Why is nothing showing up in the Alert Log?

David,
Did you figure out the answer? If not, I will try to find someone to address your question.

SQL query error - Literal does not match format string

Hi All,
When I am removing these code form query then it is running fine else it is giving error of "Literal does not match format string."

It is flexfield segment so it can contain anything. For my query it is returning date.....Oh dear. Two really bad design decisions in one, there - storing dates as varchar2 and storing more than one type of data in one column. I suggest you read this: http://www.simple-talk.com/opinion/opinion-pieces/bad-carma/ in order to see just why that might be a bad design.
If you have any influence at all over the way your tables/app is designed, then I would highly recommend changing the design, as it will save you countless headaches like the one you've currently got.
If you are absolutely stuck with that design, then a) poor you and b) you'll have to add in some filters onto your queryto make sure you're only selecting rows with dates in that column.

How to use this sql query in oracle?

Hi all,
i am using one sql query that is
SELECT @ToDate = '2012-10-03 00:00:00.000'
select @BetweenDate = DATEADD(MM,-1,@ToDate)
select @FromDate = DATEADD(m,DATEDIFF(m,0,@BetweenDate),0)
SELECT @ToDate = DATEADD(month, ((YEAR(@BetweenDate) - 1900) * 12) + MONTH(@BetweenDate), -1)
so @todate value is = '2012-10-03 00:00:00.000'
so in @betweendate value will come 1 month before like '2012-09-03 00:00:00.000'
again in @fromdate value will come like that '2012-09-01 00:00:00.000' means first date of @betweendate
and again @todate value will come like that '2012-09-30 00:00:00.000' means last date of @betweendate
it's happening in sql and i have to use same logic in oracle also.
how to use it??
thanks

declare
todate date:= to_date('2012-10-03 00:00:00','yyyy-mm-dd hh:mi:ss');
betwendate date := add_months(todate,-1);
for datediff / additions you can direct subtract/add two different date variables
like
datediff = betweendate -todate
dateadd := todate+1;

I want to use the SQL query IF EXIST to update or insert data in a ms access table, but it doesn´t work

Hi,
I want to use the SQL query IF EXIST to update or insert data in a ms access table, but it doesn´t work
(fault number -2147217900)
I want to search for a value in a ms access table , if it exist i want to update it, if not i want to insert a new row.
Working with LabView 7.1, database con. toolset.
Who can HELP?
Thanks a lot
Marco

Hello,
I think that If exist is not a standar SQL command (I know it exists I think in Oracle and SQL server), MS access doesn't support it, so I think the best way to do it is first make a Select and then either an Update or an insert, sorry...

Using multiple sql query

Im writing a jsp that pulls data from the database and loads it into dropdown-list looks like this:
<select name="Source">
<%
conn = DriverManager.getConnection(url, username, password);
Statement stmt = conn.createStatement(ResultSet.TYPE_SCROLL_SENSITIVE,ResultSet.CONCUR_READ_ONLY);
ResultSet rs = stmt.executeQuery("SELECT BBCourseID(Sroffer.SrofferID)course_name, SrofferSchedule_Faculty.FacultyID AS FacultyID FROM SrofferSchedule_Faculty srofs JOIN SrofferScheduleID sros ON srofs.SrofferScheduleID= sro.SrofferScheduleID JOIN Sroffer sro ON sro.SrofferID= sros.SrofferID WHERE srofs.FacultyID=IDnumber");
rs.beforeFirst();
while (rs.next()) {%>
<option value="<%=courseid=rs.getString("BBCourseID")%>"><%=courseid%> <%=rs.getString("course_name")%></option>
<%}
%>
</select>
Problem is, I have to pull the FacultyID from cams using this sql query
("SELECT FacultyID FROM FacultyPortal WHERE PortalAlias="") berfore i can run the query above. Don't know how to do this in a jsp
Edited by: JohnsonJ on Mar 26, 2009 5:53 PM

You know how to get a connection and how to execute a query and how to process the resultset - so what's standing in your way of doing that for the faculty ID?
Isn't there a join you can do to get that in one query?
And finally - you really shouldn't do this in a JSP, use a servlet to package the result up in some Java Collection and process it with JSTL tags.

This document covers requirements for UEFI support.

Dear Meghanath,
Please use the following query, Hope your purpose will serve.
select T1. Dscription,T1.docEntry,T1.Quantity,T1.Price ,
CAST(T2.LineText as nvarchar (MAX))[LineText]
from OQUT T0 INNER JOIN QUT1 T1 ON T0.DocEntry = T1.DocEntry LEFT OUTER JOIN

Parse User Pasted Text and use in SQL query

I am trying to take some user pasted text (typically would come from Excel) and parse those values and put into a query.
text area:
":P11_text"
query:
"select *
from table
where column in :P11_text;"
I have tried some variations of replace and translate in order to parse that list of values...something like: translate(:P11_text, chr(10)||chr(13), ',' ).....and many variations of this.
I have been able to replace the end of lines with the commas, but it appears that I am not getting my single quotes captured, even when trying to force them in. The best attempt returned single quotes and commas in between values but not at the beginning and end of the list of values.
I would bet that there is an easy way to accomplish this or an easy way to accomplish the requirement in a different way altogether.
Please point me in the right direction.

I finally got this one figured out!
create or replace type myTableType as table
of varchar2(4000)
create or replace
function in_list( p_string in varchar2 ) return myTableType
as
l_string long default p_string || ',';
l_data myTableType := myTableType();
n number;
begin
loop
exit when l_string is null;
n := instr( l_string, ',' );
l_data.extend;
l_data(l_data.count) :=
ltrim( rtrim( substr( l_string, 1, n-1 ) ) );
l_string := substr( l_string, n+1 );
end loop;
return l_data;
end;
--The SQL Query is:
select *
from t wher c in (select *
from THE
( select cast( in_list(translate(:p10_prolist,chr(10)||chr(13),',')) as

SQL query for custom alert view

I have created a custom alert view and scoped to show alerts related to group of servers.
Alert view Criteria: Resolution State - New, Severity - Warning and Critical, Group - "Group 1"
I am trying to query the Operations Manager database to show the alerts with same criteria using below query.
select MonitoringObjectName, ResolutionState, Priority, Severity, TimeRaised, TimeAdded, TimeResolved, AlertStringName, AlertStringDescription from AlertView where ResolutionState = '0' AND (Severity = '2' or Severity = '1')
AND
MonitoringObjectId IN (select TargetObjectId from RelationshipGenericView
where SourceObjectDisplayName = 'Group 1')
in Console i see both warning and critical alerts where as in SQL query output i see only critical alerts. Could you please correct if I am using wrong query. also please share your suggessions if i am completely wrong on this.
Kind Regards,
Bommi
~Bommi

your query looks perfectly fine. Are you sure if the alerts you see in the console are of the 'Resolution State =0' (New). It might be the case where the alert have moved to a fidderent resolution state.
Also, take a sample warming alert from console, query for the same in DB and check the Severity value. If it is '2'.

Is there a way to consolidate calculations used in SQL Query Data Sets?

I am building SQL Query Data Sets against multiple DB Views which all have different date formats. I have the date parameter working well, but want to consolidate the changes that I have to do to it especially for the quarter. For example the SQL against a monthly view would use "where year_month > to_char(:ST_DATE, 'YYYY-MM')" which is not too hard, but to make that work for the quarterly view I need several concats and a decode to get a "> '2012-Q2'". I would like not to have to do this within every where clause. I had put this into a global element hoping to use that in a filter for the data set, but the filter does not have access to global elements only parameters.
Is there any way to refer to a calculated global element from the data set to do this? I am using Layout Templates, so even if I wanted to I could not do the condition within the template.
 Thanks,
 Rick

Change the following line to include the red coloured parts
<div class="MasterColumn" spry:repeat="ds4" spry:setrow="ds4" spry:hover="MasterColumnHover" spry:select="MasterColumnSelected">
{Dsp_#}{Dsp_WkDay}{Dsp_Event}
</div>
The add the following style rule to your document:
.MasterColumn span {
 display: inline-block;
I hope this helps.

SQL Query returns values like "---" and "NA"

Hi
When I execute a sql query in MII it returns values like "---" and "NA" for empty Char and numeric fields respectively.
I have checked the database and made sure that these fields does not have any value. This happens only when I run the query through MII. Can any one know how can we get rid of these values?
Thanks in advance
Shaji

Shaji,
MII sets those values as a default if it discovers null values in a query result. You can change this default behaviour in several ways.
First, have a look at the document [Setting custom null values in XML|http://www.sdn.sap.com/irj/scn/go/portal/prtroot/docs/library/uuid/70628af0-8ec4-2c10-7da2-f451e412dd8f?quicklink=index&overridelayout=true]. Then you may also use SQL functions like [NVL|http://www.techonthenet.com/oracle/functions/nvl.php] to change the value directly in the SQL query. You can also change the value inside the MII BLT to whatever you need.

Sql query to seperate character and number data in a column

Hi,
We have a test table on 10.2.0.4 db as below;
10:44:34 TEST:WAULT > desc t;
Name Null? Type
EMP VARCHAR2(10)
10:43:18 TEST:WAULT > select * from t;

-123
-856359
SCOTT
-657
16 rows selected.
The question is; we need to segregate the character data and numerical data in the EMP field, using sql query.
Plz suggest as to how we can achieve this.
Also, plz suggest how the use of reqexp can be made in this to achieve the same.
Thanks,
