Write Back Error: The system was unable to generate appropriate SQL

Question

All,
Have looked at the previous threads on this topic and it has usually been syntax problems in the xml file. I've been over it a million times and can't see any problems.
The error I'm getting is when I click the "update" button to initiate the write-back;
The system was unable to generate appropriate SQL. Please contact your system administrator.
Template: 'UPDATE WC_DEPT_GOALS_D SET Week_Beginning = @{c0}, Week_Ending = @{c1} WHERE id = @{c2} '
Record: '<record action="update"><value columnID="c2">142</value><value columnID="c0">04/30/2012</value><value columnID="c1">05/06/2011</value></record>'
My xml file is as follows;
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8" ?>
<WebMessageTables xmlns:sawm="com.siebel.analytics.web/message/v1">
<WebMessageTable lang="en-us" system="WriteBack" table="Messages">
<WebMessage name="GOALS">
<XML>
<writeBack connectionPool="GL Oracle Data Warehouse Connection Pool">
<insert> </insert>
<update>UPDATE WC_DEPT_GOALS_D SET Week_Beginning = @{c0}, Week_Ending = @{c1} WHERE id = @{c2} </update>
<postUpdate>COMMIT</postUpdate>
</writeBack>
</XML>
</WebMessage>
</WebMessageTable>
</WebMessageTables>
Week Beginning and Week End are just two columns from WC_DEPT_GOALS_D - 44 columns in total which I want to write back to. These two are datetime, the others are int or float. I can't even get it to write back with these two, let a lone the other 42! :)
Any suggestions? Thanks guys!
Please note, I've also tried it without the "postUpdate" COMMIT line. Same error.

Answer 1

If your column data type is varchar then you have to specify that in single quote
COMMIT :if your DB supports automatic commit so you don't have to add it.
check that the name in "<WebMessage name="GOALS">" is the exact same case as what you have in your report. i.e. it's Goals in the XML and then it cannot be GOALS in the Report or goals.
And also try this..
<update>UPDATE WC_DEPT_GOALS_D SET Week_Beginning = @{c0} WHERE id = @{c2}
UPDATE WC_DEPT_GOALS_D SET Week_Ending = @{c1} WHERE id = @{c2}</update>
Restart all the services and oc4j
Cheers,
