So I have something that I did in an execute SQL task but my project manager would rather see it in a data flow task.
INSERT INTO [dbo].[lookup_product]
([dim_global_data_source_id]
,[source_product]
,[source_product_type]
,[source_grade]
,[source_gauge]
,[source_width]
)
SELECT distinct
dim_global_data_source_id,
product_desc,
product_type,
grade,
gauge,
size1
FROM Staging_informix_Coil_is
where not exists
(select source_product
from lookup_product
where lookup_product.dim_global_data_source_id = Staging_informix_Coil_is.dim_global_data_source_id
and isnull(lookup_product.source_product,'') = isnull(Staging_informix_Coil_is.product_desc,'')
and lookup_product.source_product_type = Staging_informix_Coil_is.product_type
and isnull(lookup_product.source_grade,'') = isnull(Staging_informix_Coil_is.grade,'')
and isnull(lookup_product.source_gauge,0) = isnull(Staging_informix_Coil_is.gauge,0)
and isnull(lookup_product.source_width,0) = isnull(Staging_informix_Coil_is.size1,0)
)
`
That's the query. I need this in a workflow. Someone help me out or give me a sample
I'm with your project manager on this one. I would create a Data Flow Task. The first component would be an OLE DB Source, containing just your first SELECT (no WHERE clause).
The next component would be a Lookup, selecting the columns you need to match on from lookup_product. On the Columns tab I would match the columns as you have in your WHERE clause. On the General tab I would set it to Redirect Rows to No Match output.
The final component is an OLE DB Destination, pointing at the lookup_product table. I would connect this to the Lookup using the No Match output.

I have two separate table that store data in Apex. The main table that feeds the report is current employees. The other table I have is essentially a list of terminated employees with other information on it.
I am trying to find a way that if a name stored in both tables, that row would show up red on the report.
I put this code as an SQL Query into the report query:
select ID,
PAINT_SHOP,
"LOCKER_#",
LOCKER_LOCATION,
DEPT,
ASSOCIATE_NUMBER,
NAME__CINTAS_,
AUDIT_NOTES_,
LOCKER_TRANSFER_REQUESTED
from LOCKER_AUDIT
where (LOCKER_LOCATION = :P12_LL or :P12_LL is null)
select
NAME__CINTAS_,
case when LOCKER_TERM_LIST.NAME = 'TERMINATED' then 'salmon' else 'black' end as event_color
from Locker_Audit, LOCKER_TERM_LIST where LOCKER_AUDIT.NAME_CINTAS_ = LOCKER_TERM_LIST.NAME
*LOCKER_AUDIT --> Table for data storage of report
*LOCKER_TERM_LIST --> Table storing termed employee data
I am receiving this error:
Here is an option. Say this is your report query:
select x.*
,case when y.employee_status = 'TERMINATED' then 'salmon'
else 'black' end as event_color
from current_employees x, old_employees y
where y.employee_id = x.employee_id
Then from the content body, expand COLUMNS and look for the column you want to see in different color and click on it.
On the right frame you will see a text area called HTML Formatting.
Use some HTML there, like:
<span style="color:#EVENT_COLOR#">#YOUR_COLOURED_COLUMN#</span>
I think this would work.
I am using Visual Studio 2017 and I installed the latest crystal reportviewer (22)
What I want is to click a button and create a report from the customer that is selected in the datagridview and the addresses that are shown in the second datagridview.
I managed to do all that but the problem is that a few fields contain numbers which need to be converted to text. An SQL query I would use to do this would be like:
SELECT c.customer_nr, c.status, s.rename FROM CUSTOMERS c INNER JOIN SETUP s on s.id = c.status WHERE s.afk = 'STA'
In my SETUP database I have the columns ID,AFK and RENAME so if the status would be 1 it would convert to text: "ACTIVE", if status = 2 it would convert to "INACTIVE" for example.
I could do something with a formula field like this:
IF ({c.status} = 1) THEN "ACTIVE" ELSE
IF ({c.status}) = 2 THEN "INACTIVE"
but that is not good because i could add another status or change the name in the database etc.
So then I tried with an SQL expression field and I put something like this:
(
SELECT "SETUP"."RENAME" FROM SETUP
WHERE "SETUP"."AFK" = 'STA' AND "SETUP"."ID" = "CUSTOMERS"."STATUS"
)
There must be something wrong because I get the correct conversion but there is only one address in the database but I get 7 pages all with the same address. There should only be one address like I get when I remove the SQL expression field. Where does it go wrong?
* EDIT *
I found the problem. When I create a new database that contains only unique id's then it works. In my original database I have multiple times the id's 1,2,3,4,5 but with different abbreviations in column AFK. Somehow the query looks for the id value and every time it finds this id no matter the AFK value it generates an entry for the address value.
Maybe in the future I will find out how this exactly works for now I have a workaround.
Create a new table for example CrRepSta and add the following entries:
ID,AFK,RENAME
1,STA,Active
2,STA,Inactive
etc
The new query:
(
SELECT "CrRepSta"."RENAME" FROM CrRepSta
WHERE "CrRepSta"."AFK" = 'STA' AND "CrRepSta"."ID" = "CUSTOMERS"."STATUS"
)
And by the way the statement "CrRepSta"."AFK" = 'STA' is not really needed.
Is it possible to view the SQL used in Cognos's queries?
e.g. To get the XML definition of a report you can use the below SQL (copied from https://stackoverflow.com/a/24335760/361842):
SELECT CMOBJNAMES.NAME AS ObjName
, CMOBJECTS.PCMID
, CMCLASSES.NAME AS ClassName
, cast(CMOBJPROPS7.spec as xml) ReportDefinition
FROM CMOBJECTS
INNER JOIN CMOBJNAMES ON CMOBJECTS.CMID = CMOBJNAMES.CMID
INNER JOIN CMCLASSES ON CMOBJECTS.CLASSID = CMCLASSES.CLASSID
LEFT OUTER JOIN CMOBJPROPS7 ON CMOBJECTS.CMID = CMOBJPROPS7.CMID
WHERE CMOBJECTS.CLASSID IN (10, 37)
ORDER BY CMOBJECTS.PCMID;
... and from that XML you can often find sqltext elements giving the underlying SQL. However, where existing queries are being used it's hard to see where that data's coming from.
I'd like the equivalent of the above SQL to find Query definitions; though so far have been unable to find any such column.
Failing that, is there a way to find this definition through the UI? I looked under Query Studio and found the query's lineage which gives some information about the query columns, but doesn't make the data's source clear.
NB: By query I'm referring to those such as R5BZDDAN_GRAPH in the below screenshot from Query Studio:
... which would be referred to in a Cognos report in a way such as:
<query name="Q_DEMO">
<source>
<model/>
</source>
<selection autoSummary="false">
<dataItem aggregate="none" name="REG_REG" rollupAggregate="none">
<expression>[AdvRepData].[Q_R5BZDDAN_GRAPH].[REG_REG]</expression>
</dataItem>
<dataItem aggregate="none" name="REG_ORG" rollupAggregate="none">
<expression>[AdvRepData].[Q_R5BZDDAN_GRAPH].[REG_ORG]</expression>
</dataItem>
<!-- ... -->
UPDATE
For the benefit of others, here's an amended version of the above code for pulling back report definitons:
;with recurse
as (
select Objects.CMID Id, ObjectClasses.Name Class, ObjectNames.NAME Name
, cast('CognosObjects' as nvarchar(max)) ObjectPath
from CMOBJECTS Objects
inner join CMOBJNAMES ObjectNames
on ObjectNames.CMID = Objects.CMID
and ObjectNames.IsDefault = 1 --only get 1 result per object (could filter on language=English (LocaleId=24 / select LocaleId from CMLOCALES where Locale = 'en'))
inner join CMCLASSES ObjectClasses on ObjectClasses.CLASSID = Objects.CLASSID
where Objects.PCMID = objects.CMID --cleaner than selecting on root since not language sensitive
--where ObjectClasses.NAME = 'root'
union all
select Objects.CMID Id, ObjectClasses.Name Class, ObjectNames.NAME Name
, r.ObjectPath + '\' + ObjectNames.NAME ObjectPath --I use a backslash rather than forward slash as using this to build a windows path
from recurse r
inner join CMOBJECTS Objects
on objects.PCMID = r.Id
and Objects.PCMID != objects.CMID --prevent ouroboros
inner join CMOBJNAMES ObjectNames
on ObjectNames.CMID = Objects.CMID
and ObjectNames.IsDefault = 1 --only get 1 result per object (could filter on language=English (LocaleId=24 / select LocaleId from CMLOCALES where Locale = 'en'))
inner join CMCLASSES ObjectClasses
on ObjectClasses.CLASSID = Objects.CLASSID
)
select *
from recurse
where Class in ('report','query')
order by ObjectPath
Terminology:
Query Subject can be considered a table
Query Item can be considered a column
For your example the SQL might be defined in the R5BZDDAN_GRAPH query subject which is in turn defined in the Framework Manager model. The framework manager model is defined in a .cpf file which isn't in the content store at all. (it is an XML file though). This file is 'published' to Cognos to make packages.
There is also a cached version of the framework manager file on the actual cognos server (a .cqe file) although it is generally not recommended to rely on this
I say your SQL might be defined. If the query subject is a SQL query subject then that is where it is defined. If If the query subject is a model query subject then it is just a list of query items from other query subjects. These might be from many other query subjects which then have joins defined in Framework Manager. So there is no actual SQL defined there - it gets generated at run time
I'm not sure of your end requirement but there are three other ways to get SQL:
In Report Studio you can 'show generated SQL' on each query
In Framework Manager you can select one or more query subjects and show generated SQL
You can use a monitoring tool on your database to see what SQL is being submitted
If you just want to know how numbers are generated in your report, the most direct solution is to monitor your database.
Lastly keep in mind that in some rare cases, SQL defined in Framework Manager might be altered by the way the report is written
I am very new to Access, and what I am trying to do seems like it should be very simple, but I can't seem to get it.
I am a structural engineer by trade and am making a database to design buildings.
My Diaphragm Analysis Table includes the fields "Floor_Name", "Story_Number", "Wall_Left", and "Wall_Right". I want to write a new query that looks in another query called "Shear_Wall_incremental_Deflection" and pulls information from it based on input from Diaphragm Analysis. I want to take the value in "Wall_Right" (SW01), find the corresponding value in "Shear_Wall_incremental_Deflection", and report the "Elastic_Deflection" corresponding to the "Story_Below" instead of the "Story_Number" in the Diaphragm Analysis Table. In the case where "Story_Number" = 1, "Story_Below" will be 0 and I want the output to be 0.
Same procedure for "Wall_Left", but I'm just taking it one step at a time.
It seems that I need to use a "DLookup" in the expression builder with TWO criteria, one that Wall_Right = Shear_Wall and one that Story_Number = Story_Below, but when I try this I just get errors.
"Shear_Wall_incremental_Deflection" includes shearwalls for all three stories, i.e. it starts at SW01 and goes through SWW for Story Number 3 and then starts again at SW01 for Story Number 2, and so on until Story Number 1. I only show a part of the query results in the image, but rest assured, there are "Elastic_Deflection" values for story numbers below 3.
Here is my attempt in the Expression Builder:
Right_Defl_in: IIf(IsNull([Diaphragm_Analysis]![Wall_Right]),0,DLookUp("[Elastic_Deflection_in]","[Shear_Wall_incremental_Deflection]","[Shear_Wall_incremental_Deflection]![Story_Below]=" & [Diaphragm_Analysis]![Story_Number]))
I know my join from Diaphragm_Analysis "Wall_Left" and "Wall_Right" must include all records from Diaphragm_Analysis and only those from "Shear_Wall_incremental_Deflection"![Shear_Walls] where the joined fields are equal, but that's about all I know.
Please let me know if I need to include more information or send out the database file.
Thanks for your help.
Diaphragm Analysis (Input Table)
Shear_Wall_incremental_Deflection (Partial Image of Query)
I think what you are missing is that you can and should join to Diaphragm_Analysis twice, first time to get the Story_Below value and second to use it to get the corresponding Elastic_Deflection value.
To handle the special case where Story_Below is zero, I would write a separate query (only requires one join this time) and 'OR together' the two queries using the UNION set operation (note the following SQL is untested):
SELECT swid.Floor_Name,
swid.Story_Number,
swid.Wall_Left,
da2.Elastic_Deflection AS Story_Below_Elastic_Deflection
FROM ( Shear_Wall_incremental_Deflection swid
INNER JOIN Diaphragm_Analysis da1
ON da1.ShearWall = swid.Wall_Left )
INNER JOIN Diaphragm_Analysis da2
ON da2.ShearWall = swid.Wall_Left
AND da2.Story_Number = da1.Story_Below
UNION
SELECT swid.Floor_Name,
swid.Story_Number,
swid.Wall_Left,
0 AS Story_Below_Elastic_Deflection
FROM Shear_Wall_incremental_Deflection swid
INNER JOIN Diaphragm_Analysis da1
ON da1.ShearWall = swid.Wall_Left
WHERE da1.Story_Below = 0;
I've assumed that there is no data where Story_Number is zero.
I am trying to create a filter with SQL queries but am having trouble with numeric values linking to other tables.
Every time I try to link to another table, it takes the same record and repeats it for every element in the other table.
For example, here is query:
SELECT ELEMENTS.RID,TAXONOMIES.SHORT_DESCRIPTION,[type],ELEMENT_NAME,ELEMENT_ID,SUBSTITUTION_GROUPS.DESCRIPTION,namespace_prefix,datatype_localname
FROM ELEMENTS,SUBSTITUTION_GROUPS,TAXONOMIES,SCHEMAS,DATA_TYPES
WHERE ELEMENTS.TAXONOMY_ID = TAXONOMIES.RID AND ELEMENTS.ELEMENT_SCHEMA_ID = SCHEMAS.RID AND
ELEMENTS.DATA_TYPE_ID = DATA_TYPES.RID
AND ELEMENTS.SUBSTITUTION_GROUP_ID = 0
The last line is the actual filtering criteria.
Here is an example result:
There should only be ONE result (Item has an RID of 0). But it's repeating a copy of the one record for every result inside the substitution groups table (there's 4).
Here is my database schema for reference. The lines indicate relationships between tables and the circles indicate the values I want:
You're forgot to join between ELEMENTS and SUBSTITUTION_GROUPS in your query.
SELECT
ELEMENTS.RID,TAXONOMIES.SHORT_DESCRIPTION,[type],ELEMENT_NAME,ELEMENT_ID,SUBSTITUTION_GROUPS.DESCRIPTION,namespace_prefix,datatype_localname
FROM
ELEMENTS,SUBSTITUTION_GROUPS,TAXONOMIES,SCHEMAS,DATA_TYPES
WHERE
ELEMENTS.TAXONOMY_ID = TAXONOMIES.RID AND ELEMENTS.ELEMENT_SCHEMA_ID = SCHEMAS.RID
AND ELEMENTS.DATA_TYPE_ID = DATA_TYPES.RID
AND ELEMENTS.SUBSTITUTION_GROUP_ID = SUBSTITUTION_GROUPS.RID
AND ELEMENTS.SUBSTITUTION_GROUP_ID = 0
