VARBINARY problems in OBIEE 11g importing data from DB2 AS/400 V6R1

Hi all,
I have set up a connection between OBIEE 11g version 11.1.1.6.0 and DB2 AS/400 V6R1.
It is working fine for most of the data types, but we have the following cast sentence in a view:
CAST(
CASE WHEN A.RCATLY IN ( 1250 , 1000 ) THEN F.DESCRIPTION3 ELSE
CASE WHEN A.RCATLY=12 THEN 'AUM' ELSE
CASE WHEN F.KEYASL3='AL_EXCLUDED' THEN 'Other open items' ELSE
'AUM' END END END AS CHAR(50)) AS POS_CAT,
CAST(CASE WHEN F.DESCRIPTION3 IS NULL THEN 'Securities' ELSE F.DESCRIPTION3
END AS CHAR(50)) AS POS_DESCR
We are importing this view into OBIEE 11.1.1.6, the fileds POS_CAT and POS_DESCR are coming as BINARY, we also have tried to cast them to VARCHAR, they come as VARBINARY instead.
When we try to see the fields in a report we are getting the error below:
Error Codes: OAMP2OPY:Q4NU7XSN
Invalid Handle Of 'const saw::ExpressionBase*' Exception
I have tried to cast this fileds to VARCHAR in administration, no luck, error below:
Error Codes: OPR4ONWY:U9IM8TAC:OI2DL65P
State: HY000. Code: 10058. [NQODBC] [SQL_STATE: HY000] [nQSError: 10058] A general error has occurred. [nQSError: 43113] Message returned from OBIS. [nQSError: 46035] Datatype(VARBINARY) nullable(1) unicode(1) external char(0) conversion to datatype(VARCHAR) nullable(1) unicode(0) external char(0) is not supported. (HY000)
SQL Issued: SELECT 0 s_0, "MI"."DWSPAIN01"."POS_CAT" s_1 FROM "MI" FETCH FIRST 65001 ROWS ONLY
Any suggestion?

Thanks for your quick response, I have tried to change it in the phisycal layer, to CHAR, VARCHAR, same error, it didn't work.

OBIEE 11g - Combine data from two Oracle tables

Good day!
I tried to combine data from two Oracle tables as fact data, but it doesn't work.
My steps: I created SCOTT.EMP2 table from SCOTT.EMP table, update EMPNO and ENAME values of EMP2 table to distinguish data of my tables. Then I imported physical tables DEPT, EMP and EMP2 to BIEE 11g, created joins DEPT-EMP and DEPT-EMP2 in physical diagram. Then I dragged DEPT and EMP tables to BMM, and EMP2 table to EMP as second LTS. In Content tab for EMP and EMP2 I checked "This source should be combined with other sources at this level" checkboxes. Then I renamed logical tables EMP and DEPT to Employees and Departments and dragged them to Presentation area. In Answers I created Analysis with columns DNAME and ENAME.
The problem is that data on results tab is only from one physical table EMP or EMP2 (depending on the order of sources EMP and EMP2 of LT Employees) and not from both.
Can anybody help? Am I missed something?
Al.

Hi Al,
I think you have to define the content of the LTS.
http://download.oracle.com/docs/cd/E12096_01/books/admintool/admintool_BusModSetup16.html
You have to specify the content of the different fragments.
http://download.oracle.com/docs/cd/E12096_01/books/admintool/admintool_SetUpAggNav3.html#wp1005333
Maybe you have to add an additional column 'Source' ('EMP1', 'EMP2')
Good Luck,

Need to import data from DB2 into Essbase

I need to create a Windows process (like a daemon) to constantly check DB2 for updated records and then pull the updated record into Essbase and clean the blocks. Would it be better to:
a) Write a ESSCMD macro with the import command to somehow run constantly
b) Write a Java class that will pull the information with SQL
c) do something else?
Do you have any suggestions for the best way to do this?

What you should do depends on your skills (among other things).. It seems to me that if you write it in Java, you have a whole lot of flexibility that you don't have with scripting languages such as EssCmd or Maxl.

Using sqlldr to load CLOB data from DB2

I am stuck trying to resolve this problem. I am migrating data from DB2 to Oracle. I used DB2 export to extract the data specifying lobsinfile clause. This created all the CLOB data in one file. So a typical record has a column with a reference to the CLOB data. "OUTFILE.001.lob.0.2880/". where OUTFILE.001.lob is the name specified in the export command and 0 is the starting position in the file and 2880 is the length of the first CLOB.
When I try to load this data using sqlldr I'm getting a file not found.
The control file looks something like this:
clob_1 FILLER char(100),
"DETAILS" LOBFILE(clob_1) TERMINATED BY EOF,
I'm using Oracle 11gR2 and DB2 9.7.5
Your help is appreciated.

OK..here are additional details. Some names have changed but the idea is the same. Also the sqlldr is executing in the same directory as the data files and the control file
Primary data file is VOIPCACHE.dat Secondary datafile (file with lob data) is VOIPCACHE.001.lob

Problem Importing Data from Raiser's Edge into Crystal Reports

This is likely going to be a very simple one for the expert community. I am a novice Crystal Reports user. We received our license for the app bundled with the Raiser's Edge donation tracking software.
In previous versions of Crystal, when importing data from a Raiser's Edge export, the default method of data linking was a Left Outer Join.
However, for the latest version, it appears this has defaulted to using an Inner Join, which does not display data the way we'd like it to in our reports.
The fix we use right now (supported by Raiser's Edge support team) is simply to go in and manually adjust all of the reports table links. This can be time-consuming, however.
I would like to know if there is a way to get Crystal to import, by default, using something other than an Inner Join. Simply using the Add Command when importing the data isn't an ideal option as building a custom SQL query each time is about as time-consuming as manually changing each of the links via the Crystal GUI. (part of the reason this would be so time-consuming is that the Raiser's Edge database tables aren't intended to be directly interacted with by the end-user, so getting the information on what table names would be in play is a bit of a process).
The version of Crystal we are running is: 11.0.0.1282, Crystal Standard.
Please let me know if I've left off any vital information needed to help with this query. I'll do my best to fill in any gaps I may have left here.

Hi Michael,
Raiser's Edge db is not ideally supported with Crystal Reports.However, what you may try as of now,is to upgrade the application to release 2 and then check for the results.
Following is the link:
http://resources.businessobjects.com/support/additional_downloads/service_packs/crystal_reports_en.asp#CRXIR2
Please choose the "Service Pack 2 - Full build - ZIP - 1.03 GB - released April 2007" hyperlink.
The same keycode will work for this version also.
Thanks

Error while importing data from 8i to 9i

Hello !
I have installed 9i and now want to import data from previous database 8i which contains GB's of data.
I have exported through transporatble tablespaces but while importing to 9i i receive the following error of national character set .
Import done in WE8MSWIN1252 character set and WE8ISO8859P1 NCHAR character set
import server uses WE8ISO8859P1 character set (possible charset conversion)
export client uses US7ASCII character set (possible charset conversion)
export server uses US7ASCII NCHAR character set (possible ncharset conversion)
IMP-00003: ORACLE error 2248 encountered
ORA-02248: invalid option for ALTER SESSION
IMP-00000: Import terminated unsuccessfully
Can any one fix this problem

Shimak

If you're moving data from 10G to 9i, using EXP/IMP, I would try using the 9i EXP to create the dumpfile with data from the 10G database, and then using the 9i IMP to import that dumpfile into the 9i database.
Sounds like you have been using the 10G EXP and IMP in both cases.

Import data from excel

Hi, I am using Jdeveloper 11g 11.1.1.5.0 and I want to import data from excel in my table through the jsf page and commit it to database. How can I implement it. Its urgent please help me!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Unless you are importing Excel data to save a dying patient in the operating theatre, it's not, by definition, urgent!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! (and I must be right, because I used 22 exclamation points, where you only used 21).
Have you looked at ADF Desktop Integration to see if that would work for you? If not, you could:
1). Use an af:inputFile to upload the Excel file
2). Using something like Apache POI to read the file
3). Create rows, set the attributes, insert them, and commit them (if you're using ADF BC, you'd use a View Object to do this)

So, can somebody know how can I after filling the ID number field , populate the description and price text fields with data from excel file corresponding to this ID number ?
This form is used in Adobe reader.
Any comments are welcome.

Hi
That's what i said in my prev. Post to clear cache... :)
disable your cache from nqsconfig.ini
In cache section of NQSConfig file,
you find
ENABLE = YES;
set to NO
OR
if you are using data ware house as the source for OBIEE,
you know that when ETL is done, so just create iBot to purge cache automatically at that particular intervals,
So that report runs freshly at that time
And what happened to your View Selector question?

Import data from xml using ssis

Using Sql Server 2012 STD edition, SSDT (Visual Studio 2010 shell, .net framework 4.0.3 SP1
I am trying to import data from an xml file using ssis.
Here are the three options I tried and none worked. Please see errors that I encountered in all options and let me know what I can do to import this data in sql
server.
I created a new ssis project with an ssis package. I pulled a data flow task on the control flow. On the data flow tab I pulled an xml source and a sql server
destination. Now I tried to configure the xml source task in the the following three ways, but none worked.
1. I browse the xml file to set xml location. Browse the xsd file to set xsd location, then click ok. I get the following error:
HRESULT errorcode 0xC02090CF from a method call. There was an error setting up the mapping. Undefined complex Type 'gml_V4.1_Release:PolygonType'
is used as a base for complex type extension
2. I browse the xml file to set xml location. check "Use inline schema" Click ok. Error:
HRESULT errorcode 0xC020929E from a method call. The xml source adapter was unable to process the XML data. Multiple inline schemas are not supported.
3.I browse the xml file to set xml location. Click "Generate XSD". Error: The supplied xml instance is a schema or contains inline schema. The
class cannot infer a schema for a schema.
Thank you for your help.

Hi ,
I think something problem with the XSD file i too faced somewhat same problem, i have created XSD file from the following link and tried in my package it has worked why don't u try to create xsd file from following link and try again once.

Import data from text file

We are trying to import data from a text file into fields in a form using the importTextData method for the Doc object. The script we are using looks like this:
var doc = event.target;
var returnCode = doc.importTextData("datafile.txt",0);
The text file "datafile.txt" contains tab separated values in a header row (which corresonds to field names in the form) followed by tab separated datarows - all according to instructions in the API.
The returnCode will result in an integer value, which in our case represent "Error: Invalid Row". It would help us a lot if anyone could give us a hint on what may be wrong or even better post a working solution.
We have also tried using the importTextData method without any parameters (the user is then prompted to select the text file and then the specific row) but the result remains the same. The fields in the form are not populated with data and the message "Error: Invalid Row" is returned.
Annika Lindqvist

The problem you're experiencing is that importTextData is an Acrobat API call. As such, it executes on the AcroForm field equivalents to the XFA fields you've placed on the form. What's not indicated in the API for importTextData is that the names in the fields in the header of the text file must be the
full AcroForm SOM expression.
I've created a working sample to explain this.
First, I created a form with a table with one row in it containing 3 columns named FirstName, LastName and Country.
Then I created a data.txt file like this:
FirstName LastName Country
Fred Jones USA
Kyle Francis Canada
Sam Roberts UK
I then placed a button on the form which calls "event.target.importTextData();" and ran the form in Preview.
Of course, when I selected a row for import, nothing happened.
I then used the "Avanced | Forms | Export Data from Form..." menu option in Acrobat after filling-in the fields in the table with some text and looked at the generated text file (note that you have to specify text as the output format). In there, I was able to figure-out what the full AcroFrom SOM expression was for each field I wanted to import data into.
I changed my data file to look like this:
form1[0].#subform[0].Table1[0].Row1[0].FirstName[0] form1[0].#subform[0].Table1[0].Row1[0].LastName[0] form1[0].#subform[0].Table1[0].Row1[0].Country[0]

Afther that, importTextData worked as expected without any errors.

How to import data from excel or csv files to Oracle table

hello everybody,
I am new here and new in Oracle. I would like to know the steps how to import data from excel or csv files to Oracle table.
Let say I already have table inside the Oracle. Then my user give me the sets of data inside the Excel Worksheet.
So, how can I import the excel data into Oracle table.
Thank you in advance.
cheers,
shima

Even easier. Download JDeveloper 11G from this site.
Set up the database connection, right click on the table, select Import->Excel and specify your file to load it. On the import pop-up, you must view and update each tab indicating Columns, Data Types, and DML.
Columns -- move the selected columns that you want to load to the box on the right
Data Types -- select column name from second column to which the data for each column of the import file should load
DML -- click this tab to generate the INSERT SQL
Once done click 'Insert'

Giving dynamic sheet name while importing data from Excel in OPENROWSET query

I want to import data from Excel to table in SQL server. Sheets in Excel file can have any name. I want to get data from first sheet of the excel file.
CREATE PROC CopyExcelDataToTempTable
@ExcelPath VARCHAR(1000)
AS
BEGIN
EXEC sp_configure 'show advanced options', 1;
RECONFIGURE;
EXEC sp_configure 'ad hoc distributed queries', 1;
RECONFIGURE;
EXEC master.dbo.sp_MSset_oledb_prop N'Microsoft.ACE.OLEDB.12.0', N'AllowInProcess', 1;
EXEC master.dbo.sp_MSset_oledb_prop N'Microsoft.ACE.OLEDB.12.0', N'DynamicParameters', 1;
INSERT INTO TempData
SELECT *
FROM OPENROWSET('Microsoft.ACE.OLEDB.12.0',
SELECT CONCAT('Excel 12.0 Xml;HDR=YES;Database=', @ExcelPath),
'SELECT * FROM [Sheet1$]');
END;
Currently I am giving Sheet1 as static name in Select statement. But my sheet name is not fixed. I want to create a dynamic query. If getting Sheet name is not possible then can we put sheet with its index in Select query? There is no front end. Whatever I
want to do is in SQL server 2012. Is there any solution for this problem?

Hi Ajinkya,
To get the sheet names from an excel, you can use the Stored Procedure
SP_TABLES_EX. See the below code.
EXEC sp_addlinkedserver 'ExcelSource', '',
'Microsoft.ACE.OLEDB.12.0',
'c:\worksheet.xls',
NULL,
'Excel 8.0'
EXEC sp_addlinkedsrvlogin 'ExcelSource', 'false'
GO
EXECUTE SP_TABLES_EX 'ExcelSource'
the names in the worksheet.xls and execute result are like below.
Table name
a
b
c
d
Regarding your description, you need the first sheet of your excel. As the result shows, the sheet names are sorted, so there’s no guarantee to get the first one. The SP can work as a workaround when there’s only one sheet in your excel or the required sheet’s
name is customized to be sorted at the top first.
If you have any question, feel free to let me know.
Best regards,
Eric Zhang
