Using pl/sql functions for transformation

How can I use pl/sql functions in the transformation mapping field for my interface?
I have a name field where firstname and lastname are concatenated via a space-character and I would like to extract this 'name' field to 2 separate database attributes.
This means that I need to use a function that uses SUBSTRING and INSTR to be able to get the firstname and lastname separatly out of the name-field.
The INSTR-function isn't known inside the expression editor in ODI so I'm wondering how I can use my own function?

Hi Romanna,
Are you sure? Where did you do your transformation?
-Source, Staging area or Target
I try this on Oracle target...
FIRST_NAME = substr(MYTABLE.FIRST_LASTNAME, 1, instr(MYTABLE.FIRST_LASTNAME, ' ')-1)
LAST_NAME = substr(MYTABLE.FIRST_LASTNAME,instr(MYTABLE.FIRST_LASTNAME, ' ')+1)

Using pl/sql function for each day between two dates.

Hi,
create TABLE EMP(
ID_EMP NUMBER,
DT_FROM DATE,
DT_TO DATE,
CREATE_DATE DATE);
into EMP(ID_EMP, DT_FROM, DT_TO, CREATE_DATE)
Values(100, TO_DATE('07/01/2008 00:00:00', 'MM/DD/YYYY HH24:MI:SS'), TO_DATE('04/30/2010 00:00:00', 'MM/DD/YYYY HH24:MI:SS'),TO_DATE('05/08/2009 14:11:21', 'MM/DD/YYYY HH24:MI:SS'));
I have a function called elig_pay_dates(date p_date), which returns the code for person payment eligibility for a particular date. For paid dates it's 'P' and for unpaid dates it's 'N'.
How can I check this function between two dates for each day. Example : 07/01/2008 to 04/30/2010.
By using this function with select I needs to display the dates when there is a change in status.
I am expecting data in following manner from above logic(this is example):
07/01/2008 --- 07/01/2009 ---'P'
07/02/2009 -- 07/25/2009 ----'N'
07/26/2009 -- 01/01/2010 ---'P'
01/02/2010 -- 01/13/2010 --'N'
01/14/2010 -- 01/18/2010 --'P'
01/19/2010 -- 04/30/2010 -- 'N'
I thought of looping for each day date but that seems to be expensive for online application. Is there any way that I can achieve this requirement with sql query ?
Thanks for your help,

Certainly not the best way to code the requirement, but it does achieve the result you are looking for in a fairly quick time

2. For the year, I would use another form field and do something like this next to the month above: <?xdofx:substr(../fsg:ColContext[2]/fsg:ColHeadLine2,5,2)?> for a result of '05'

Hasan
XSL has many native string manipulation functions so you do not need to use our SQL functions when a native XSL one will do:
<?if:substring(normalize-space(../fsg:ColContext[2]/fsg:ColHeadLine2),1,3)='SEP'?>September<?end if?>
See that dang normalize space function again ... had to use it on my FSG sample.
Would it not be easier to either:
1. Have the FSG generate the September YYYY format or
2. Have FSG generate XSD date formats, 'YYYY-MM-DD', then you can just specify the date format in the form fields

How to use Pl/Sql function in Discoverer report

Hi Everybody,
Would you be able to provide a workflow/guidance how to use sql function in Discoverer right from creating the function using PLSQL Developer.
(I am new to Oracle environment... prev. worked as analyst with Microsoft Access... took PL/Sql class in school a few years ago)
We are using Discoverer Desktop.
a) Just emailed dba for permission to create pl/sql function.
b) Recently got Discoverer Administrator installed on my pc.
can you pls add to the list:
c)....
d)....
etc.?
tx for your help, sandra

Hi Kranthi,
Thx for your warm words....
The links you provided are great! Thx soooo much!
Thanks to you and the rest of forum members, am able to use what you've all taught me
with other Discoverer reports.... so i was able to do more on my own....
About a month ago, I got access to Discoverer Admin, and was able to paste SQL to create a custom folder.
Then i joined the custom folder to an existing baseline folder.
I have found that sometimes when I use calc within a calc when the calcs use analytic functions, that Discoverer
just displays null in the column. I thought that maybe instead I could create my own function as a work-around.
I wrote IT for permissions to create views, functions etc. Hopefully, they'll approve and can move toward learning
pl/sql functions for Discoverer.
tx again, sandra

How to process validations using PL/SQL function

Hi.
I created a page with a form to process DML operations against a database table. Also created a validation using PL/SQL function that returns a boolean value:
declare
v_dummy varchar2(1)
begin
select 'X'
into v_dummy
from s_customer
where id = :p2_id;
return (TRUE);
exception
when no_data_found then
return (FALSE);
when others
return (TRUE);
end;
In this case i want to send a message to the user indicating that an certain row (the one with :p2_id value) already exists in the database. The piece of code above will do the job. If this function returns true, it means the row is in the DB already.
The problem is that i donÂ´t know what do to or how to tell htmldb that a TRUE value should issue a message or be processed as en error, whilst a FALSE means OK.
How do i tell htmldb what to do?
Suppose must do something with "expression 1" , "expression 2", etc.
Any ideas???

HÃ³la LuÃs,
when you pick the PL/SQL function body returning a boolean, it implicitly means that TRUE means OK, while FALSE means error, always.
In order to associate such error to a given form field, you have to go back to the page definiton / validations and specify the name of the item in the corresponding field.
When you first create the validation rule, this value is not present even if you ask for the error message inline with the field.
The error message text can be specified in the validation definition, if I am not wrong.
When you need to return special error messages, including dynamic content for instance, you can use the Function Returning Error Message type, which reports an error when the string returned by the function is not null. This comes in handy when you want to display an item's code, for example, rather than generic text.
Even in this case, you must go back to the validation and specify the name of the field if you want to see it inline.
Hope it helps,
Flavio

How to Use the language function for assignment and validation

Hi All,
If anyone can explain me in details with example ,how to use the language function for assignments and validations?
Thanks
Arnab

Hi Arnab,
The expression is checked only for the current MDM session.
If u login with the ABC language it will always show the ABC language no matter how many times u execute it.
Try connecting to the DM with the XYZ language.
It should go to the if part rather than else.
Hope it helps.

How to use Spell-check functionality for textbox (like Orkut, gtalk)

How to use Spell-check functionality for tex Hello Friends,
I am working on a JSP application. I wanted to add Spell check for text box like we have here, when we post a message. It automatically shows red line under the word, when ever spelling is wrong. Please tell me how I can do this. If possible, the code too.
Thanks.

I believe the spell checking you see here, or on any other site, is the spell checking built into Firefox. At least that's what I see. Are you using Firefox?

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

How do i use PL/SQL function in filter operator

Hi,
i want to use one pl/sql function in filter operator. how do i use it in filter condition.
error i am getting is
" error occured during expression validatation.
my filter condition is
INOUTGRP1.LAST_UPDATE_DATE > "GET_LAST_UPDATE_DATE"()
can any one suggest me what is the problem for this error.
Regards,
Jyothy

I tried and getting the same error. don't know why!!
However, There is another way of accomplishing it.
You can add a "Mapping Input Parameter" to your mapping and in the default value field call the function "Get_Last_Update_date". Then add the output field from this operator to the filter operator. Then edit the filter condition to replace the function call with output value from the Input parameter operator.
This should work...

Displaying diff dates using PL/SQL expression for 'display only' item ?

Aren't these rules equivalent to "Monday this week, where Monday is the first day of the week"? In which case the PL/SQL Expression you require is:

Using HANA SQL Functions in select list of CDS Views

Dear Expert,
Kindly please let me know if we can use the HANA SQL Function (Ex: ADD_DAYS, SECONDS_BETWEEN) in the select list of CDS Views?
If I create a CDS like below I get error that timestamp is not supported.
For Example:
@AbapCatalog.sqlViewName: 'ZMR_H_CA'
@EndUserText.label: 'CAG A'
define view viewname
with parameters start_ts:abap.dec( 15, 0 ) , end_ts:abap.dec( 15, 0 )
as select from table {
key resource_key,
TO_TIMESTAMP(begtstmp) as start_tmp,
TO_TIMESTAMP(begtstmp) as end_tmp
where
(begtstmp > $parameters.start_ts or endtstmp > $parameters.start_ts )
and
(begtstmp < $parameters.end_ts or endtstmp < $parameters.end_ts )
Thanks,
Giri

Hi Giri,
the list of provided features can be found in the ABAP Language Documentation (F1 in the CDS View).
As CDS in ABAP is abstracted from the database layer, the database features are not directly accessible. That means, you cannot use any HANA or MaxDB feature available. So the answer to your question is no. The reason for this is, that ABAP CDS views can be created on all SAP-supported databases, hence, we can only provide those features, supported by all databases.
Having said this, there are some exception, e.g. the CDS views with input parameters, which are not supported by all databases. In these cases, you'd have to additionally use the utility class CL_ABAP_DBFEATURES (see http://scn.sap.com/community/abap/blog/2014/10/10/abap-news-for-740-sp08--abap-core-data-services-cds) for more details.
Best,

If I write a very simple pl/sql procedure to wrap as a web service to return the XML from an XMLtype table column, the jdeveloper (11.1.1.3) web service generation process seems to ignore the detail
of the registered XMLTypes' schema, and converts the 'output' to an xsd:string in the generated WSDL file, which has knock on effect that generated data controls are 'dumb' in only seeing output as a string, and providing no real data functionality at XML schema level. Since I know web service data controls work fine when provided with the correct level of detail in the WSDL, what am I missing in terms of pursuading jdeveloper to generate wsdl's with full xsd schema info for the return XMLType?
This is my table:
ID NOT NULL NUMBER(12)
SPEC SYS.XMLTYPE(XMLSchema "http:
//localhost:8080/public/demo
/xsd/sample2.xsd" Element "b
ooks") STORAGE BINARY
PRD_ID NOT NULL NUMBER(10)
ISSUE NOT NULL NUMBER(6)
EDIT_NO NOT NULL NUMBER(6)
PUBLISHED_BY_PEO_ID NUMBER(10)
PUBLISHED_ON_DT DATE
EFFECTIVE_FROM_DT NOT NULL DATE
EFFECTIVE_TO_DT DATE
=======================================================
This is the XML Schema:
<xsd:schema xmlns:xsd="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema"
targetNamespace="urn:books"
xmlns:bks="urn:books">
<xsd:element name="books" type="bks:BooksForm"/>
<xsd:complexType name="BooksForm">
<xsd:sequence>
<xsd:element name="book"
type="bks:BookForm"
minOccurs="0"
maxOccurs="unbounded"/>
</xsd:sequence>
</xsd:complexType>
<xsd:complexType name="BookForm">
<xsd:sequence>
<xsd:element name="author" type="xsd:string"/>
<xsd:element name="title" type="xsd:string"/>
<xsd:element name="genre" type="xsd:string"/>
<xsd:element name="price" type="xsd:float" />
<xsd:element name="pub_date" type="xsd:date" />
<xsd:element name="review" type="xsd:string"/>
</xsd:sequence>
<xsd:attribute name="id" type="xsd:string"/>
</xsd:complexType>
</xsd:schema>
=================================================
This is the pl/sql:
function GetSpecificationById (p_spec_id in NUMBER) return XMLType
IS
l_specification sys.XMLType;
BEGIN
select specification
into l_specification
from specifications
where id = p_spec_id;
return l_specification;
EXCEPTION
WHEN OTHERS THEN -- handles all other errors
ROLLBACK;
END GetSpecificationById;
==============================================
And this is the generated WSDL:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8" ?>
<wsdl:definitions
name="MyWebService1"
targetNamespace="http://devsafetrytrailcom/MyWebService1.wsdl"
