Using Variable in the Data Template

Hi All,
I am on BIP 10.1.3.4.1 and DB is SQL Server. My Data Model is a Data Template wherein I have written multiple SQL Statements. I want to use a variable in my Data Template, assign it a value and use that variable to limit one of the SQL statements in the where clause like
declare @cnt int;
set @cnt = select count(asset_id) from asset
How do I use in the data template. I tried using it in a separate SQL statement but it throws me an error when i run the report like
"Need to declare the scalar variable '@cnt'
Can we have a variable section like parameter section we have in the data template to declare the parameters?
Any help would be highly appreciated.
Thanks,
Ronny

Sorry for the shot follow up, can anybody please reply on this?

What are Parameters? How are they differenet from Variables? Why can't we use variables for passing data from one sequnece to another? What is the advantage of using Parameters instead of Variables?

Hi,
Using the Parameters is the correct method to pass data into and out of a sub sequence. You assign your data to be passed into or out of a Sequence when you are in the Edit Sequence Call dialog and in the Sequence Parameter list.

Unless until it is a Manual Journal, SLA page doesn't give you the provision to change them.
Even for Manual Journal, it won't allow you to change, if that is transferred to GL.
Only option is to UNDO the accounting and correct the setup to create correct journals. You may contact Oracle Support.

Does Less Than ( ) operator works in the data template SQL within CDATA ??

All,
I am trying to use <= operator (<= sysdate) in the data template sql query and it's throwing Java exceptions.
I have CDATA around my sql and XML parser should ignore '<' symbol. Query works fine if I use 'ampersandlt;=' operator. Here is my query

<![CDATA[select * from table where date_column <= sysdate]]>
</sqlStatement>
Just want to know if this is a bug.

Problem was solved. Use 'ampersandlt;' where ampersand is '&' for less than

Try this..
select * from table where date_column <= sysdate

Here's a quick example I threw together that generates a sort-of-bell-curve shaped data distribution, then performs the binning and plotting.

SPSiteDataQuery - filter by file Title - Can I use variable for the filter value?

I use SPsiteDataQuery to search across multiple lists and filter by file title. I have the file title information in a variable.
Can I use variable in the filter value?
string fileName = "Policies.doc"
SPSiteDataQuery spQry = new SPSiteDataQuery();
spQry.ViewFields = "<FieldRef Name='Title'/><Value Type='Text'>fileName</Value>"

If I have understood correctly, you want to search based upon a File title in all the sites. You can include a query to filename in the spQry
spQry.Query = "<Where>" +
"<Eq>" +
"<FieldRef Name=\"FileLeafRef\"/>" +
"<Value Type=\"Text\">" + fileName + "</Value>" +
"</Eq>" +
"</Where>";

. wat is multiprovider wat mechanism it will use to get the data? can we c

hi gurus,
wat is multiprovider wat mechanism it will use to get the data? can we create multiprovider on one cube?wat is the advantage?
thankx in advace,
i will assign points.

Hi
A MultiProvider is a type of InfoProvider that combines data from a number of InfoProviders and makes them available as a whole to reporting. The MultiProvider does not itself contain any data. Its data comes entirely from the InfoProviders on which it is based. These are combined using a union operation.
InfoProviders and MultiProviders are the objects or views that are relevant for reporting.
MultiProviders only exist as a logical definition. The data is still saved in the InfoProviders it is based on.
A query based on a MultiProvider is divided into sub-queries internally. There is a sub-query for each InfoProvider in the MultiProvider. These sub-queries are usually processed in parallel.
ADV
A MultiProvider allows reporting using several InfoProviders.
InfoCube and InfoCube: You have an InfoProvider with actual data for a logically
closed business area and an equivalent InfoProvider with plan data. You can
combine the two InfoProviders into one MultiProvider so that you can compare
the actual data with the planned data of a query.
InfoCube and InfoObject: You have an InfoCube with your products and sales.
Combine the InfoObject 0MATERIAL with it. In this way you can display the
"slow-moving items" since products that do not result in sales are also displayed.
Ya you can create multiprovider for one cube but what is need to create for single cube ?

Calling a package function in the data template

Hello All,
I am not able to understand the concept of calling a function from the data template.
In my data template, I put the sql statement as
<sqlStatement name="Q_SEL">
<![CDATA[ Select l_period_name PERIOD_NAME
from xla_tb_ap_report_pvt.get_period_name(1) ]]>
</sqlStatement>
Is it possible to call a specific package function as shown above in a select statement?
I am getting the message "ORA-00933: SQL command not properly ended" when I tried with the above. Could you pls. point out what the error is in the above sqlStatement?
1) My instance is R12.1.3
2) The base pkg function 'xla_tb_ap_report_pvt.get_period_name' expects a number to be passed in as 'IN' parameter.
Thanks,
Monkey

I tried another version of the sql statement (after going through some older posts) like:
<sqlStatement name="Q_SEL">
<![CDATA[ Select xla_tb_ap_report_pvt.get_period_name(1) PERIOD_NAME
from dual]]>
</sqlStatement>
My group is :
<group name="G_PERIOD_NAME" source="Q_SEL">
<element name="PERIOD_NAME" value="PERIOD_NAME"/>
</group>
Now getting the error message:
ORA-00904: xla_tb_ap_report_pvt.get_period_name : invaild identifier
What is it that i am doing wrong?
Thanks,
Monkey

Hi,
Activate a database trace using ST01. Then perform the MM03 operation and goto the SD Texts tab. Now stop the trace and see if you can locate either a table or program which you can utilize in the log.

Can anyone confirm the date used for pushing the data into AR interface table? Is it abse don Actual ship date or scheduled ship date?

Can anyone confirm the date used for pushing the data into AR interface table? Is it abse don Actual ship date or scheduled ship date? We are facing a scenario where trx date is lower than the actual ship to which logically sounds incorrect.
Appreciate any quick response around this.

Hi,
Transaction date will be your autoinvoice master program submission level date (If you haven't setup any logic.
Please check the program level default date, if user enter old date ststem will pick the same.
Customer is trying to set the value of the profile OM:Set receivables transaction date as current date for non-shippable lines at the responsiblity level. System does not set the transaction date to current date in ra_interface_lines_all.
CAUSE
Customer has used the functionality in R11i. But after the upgrade to R12, the system functions differently than R11i.
SOLUTION
1.Ensure that there are no scheduled workflow background process run.
2.Set the profile "OM: Set Receivables Transaction Date as Current Date for Non-Shippable Lines" at Responsibility level only as Yes.
3.Now switch the responsibility to which the profile is set.
4.Create order for Non-Shippable Lines and progress it to invoicing.
5.Ensure that the 'workflow background process' concurrent program is run in the same responsibility and this line is considered in it.
6.Now check if the 'SHIP_DATE_ACTUAL' is populated to ra_interface_lines_all
