Multiple selection parameters with TDP iSeries connection

May 26, 2016, 12:15 pm

I am using Toad Data Point 3.4.0.2038. Using an iSeries database connection I have created an SQL to select data from a table. I want to use multiple parameters for the data selection. My problem is that I am able to use 1 parameter fine but if I try to use more than 1, the select does not return data. I can use 1 parameter and hard code the second select and it will work. Example: Select * from Filename where field1 = : parm1 and field2 =:parm2 does not work. When I run the SQL it prompts me for the two values but does not return data.  If I use:  Select * from Filename where field1 = :parm1 and field2 = ‘Somevalue’,  I get prompted for the first parameter and it returns the correct information using both comparisons. I have no issues using multiple parameters with an Oracle connection.  Is there something special about using the iSeries?

Hi! I am a new data analyst for konami gaming and will be using toad data point to help me with the analysis of data. I was wondering what suggestions you might have to help me get familiar with the software.

Left join works, but inverse does not?

Hi All,

I'm new to data point, so I appreciate the help.

I've been familiarizing myself with cross-database queries, and was successful in creating a simple query like:

Select *

from DB_A.Schema_A.Table_A A

left outer join DB_B.Schema_B.Table_B  B on A.Column_1=B.Column_2

The results return in 2-3 min

However when I do the inverse

Select *

from DB_B.Schema_B.Table_B  B

left outer join DB_A.Schema_A.Table_A A on B.Column_2=A.Column_1

It ran for hours before I finally cancelled, some data loaded so I know it worked....  (also tried the Right join on the first query above)

before I launch a full IT investigation, is there anything wrong with my joins or common pitfalls I should be aware of?

Thanks in advance

Hi all.

I have this problem in several scripts but not systematically. I'm using TDP 3.8.

I use to import data from hundreds oracle db to another oracle db for consolidation.

then, export activity push filtered data in excel file (xlsm) and sometimes, lauch macros, sometimes not !

When lauching script manually from TDP, macros are always executed, the problem appears, not all times, when script is lauched from scheduler.

Problems with excel appears in 3.8 (always losting layout, don't have time to test with beta 4.0) I don't remember having the same with 3.7.

No errors appear in windows log.

Toad log report missing file, because macro don't create the .xlsx file as expected...

Can you explain ?

Data Point 3.8 numeric values retrieved from OBIEE have no decimals

I've recently started using Data Point (ver. 3.8) to pull data from an Oracle Business Intelligence server into Excel spreadsheets.  I use a very simple query and it works properly, with one exception:  numeric data is rounded (or maybe truncated) to zero decimal places.  When I run an identical query through the Oracle BI web interface, I get the decimal places; so, I know something is definitely wrong on the Toad side.  

I've found a few forum threads from a few years ago stating a CR was submitted for this problem.  Am I missing something, or is this still not resolved?  

Thanks for any help you can provide.

I am new to Toad.  I have downloaded two different freeware versions to test connectivity to the databases that I connect to.  I can connect to the Microsoft SQL databases through Toad for SQL and I could connect to the Sybase ASE databases through Toad for SAP.  Is there Toad package that has the ability to connect to Microsoft SQL and ASE in the same software package?  Any help here would be great.

Thanks,

Troubleshooting Syntax Error

Hi all,

I'm receiving the following error when attempting to automate a .tim import template

Steps taken:

1) Wrote and tested SQL query against data source, it works

2) Created an import template to query one database (Teradata database) and import the results into a SQL Server database. When I choose to run the import now, it works totally fine.

3) When I choose to send to automation (or create a new automation script and use the import wizard to load up the .tim file that I created in step 2), the automation run fails with the following error:

Import_Activity - [Teradata][ODBC Teradata Driver][Teradata Database] Syntax error, expected something like an 'EXCEPT' keyword or an 'UNION' keyword or a 'MINUS' keyword between ')' and ';'.  ("Embedded Query" into "[Clarity - Tapestry].dbo.WFP_PRODUCTION")

To reiterate: the sql that drives the import step works in TOAD Data Point when I run from the sql editor, the import .tim works when I run it manually. However, it does not work when run via automation.

i wanted to start using the Project Manager to organize all my sql files... i have managed to add several to a project by right-clicks ~> add ~> Existing File.... however, the only way i can seem to execute the sql files is to open then run. Is there a way that i can simply right-click the file name in the project manager window and execute directly from there?

Background process counting tables hanging Toad Data Point

A few times a day Toad hangs while a background process is "Counting Tables".  I did not ask it to this and do not know what triggers it.  I wish it would only do this once when I first connect (SQL Server connection) and not do it again unless I want it to refresh. Is there any way to make Toad stop doing this automatically?

Thanks to any and all who can help me on this.

Issue with Cross-Connection Query that's not really a Cross-Connect Query

I am connecting through Oracle on TDP version 3.8.  I am running a basic "Select * from table_Name" and am getting a message saying, "Cross-connection queries cannot execute in a standard editor.  DO you want to change this into cross-connection mode?"  The issue is that this isn't a cross-connection query. I am connected to Oracle logged into the schema where the table is housed, and when I hit "No" on the option it runs the query anyway.  Does anyone know of a setting or something I can look at to get this to stop firing?

Timeout Waiting for Connection from Handler FTP

I'm using TDP 4.0 Beta and have started to often receive FTP timeouts saying timeout waiting for the packet from handler.  I never experienced this in earlier versions, plus when I retry, the file goes over fine.  This is with multiple different FTP sites as well, which is odd how its happening to so many.  The question I have is, is there a way to change the timeout settings on FTP, or set up retry's, etc. for FTP processes using the FTP activity in automation?

Thanks

Unable to create Sharepoint Connection

June 30, 2016, 3:59 pm

Up until today, I had sharepoint connections created that were working. Today, they were unable to connect. When I attempted to load properties, i received the following error "There was a connect error:

I thought this was odd, as i wasn't even connecting to it, just trying to look up the properties. I wound up just deleting the connections and trying to create a new sharepoint connection. When I choose create new connection and select sharepoint from the group, TOAD hangs for a few minutes, and I receive the same error as above. This is also disconcerting, as I'm not even trying to connect to anything, merely add a new connection. I never get to the prompt where I can add the sharepoint url or connection string.

I checked my connections.xml to see if there may have been some issues there, but there are no defined sharepoint connections listed. 

I get straight to a connection properties window for any of the relational data sources, but receive this error when attempting any of the Business Intelligence data sources. Is there possibly a config file thats been corrupted?

Any thoughts?

Loop Dataset Activity Not Working In TDP 4.0 Beta batch, but works fine in 3.8 batch

July 5, 2016, 8:34 am

Team,

I'm experiencing issues getting an automated task to run correctly using 4.0 Beta.  Basically its an automation task that uses a loop dataset variable to input the database name to spit out 10 different files switching the database name in the loop variable each time in just one select to file task.  The entire automation works fine in 3.8 and in the 3.8 batch mode through the task scheduler.  Now that I'm using the 4.0 beta, this same task works absolutely fine while running in TDP 4.0 Beta itself, its just failing when I use it in the batch mode for 4.0 beta called through the task scheduler.  From the looks of the log, its not recognizing the variable for the connection for some reason in batch mode.  I'm attaching the log files for both 3.8 and 4.0 for reference.  The automation itself has settings I'd like to send separately if needed, so just let me know if I need to send that.

Any way this can be tested in both versions also and see if you run into a similar issue?  I'd hate for 4.0 to launch and this issue is present and I have to use two different versions. 

Lastly, I use an I-Series ODBC connection on my end for this, which requires the unquote information for the variables to be fed into the queries correctly.  Let me know if you need further information.  Thanks!
