We are having a result count issue where the pages have 10 results per page. For pagination we are getting 64 result count on page 1 (ie start=0), 25 for page 2, and 21 for page 3.
I understand as per documentation for estimated vs actual results that it is not guaranteed but the above result count is when I set filter=0 and rc=1. The rc=1 does not appear to make a difference when included or not. We are on version 7.2.0.G.252
filter=0&rc=1 should work for you and you should see the same count even after paginating.
What you need to notice is, when you click on pagination link, make sure the filter=0&rc=1 are carried over. i.e., after pagination, see if you still have the filter and rc parameters intact.
Also check using the default_frontend as your custom frontend may not be handling it?
The problem was related to the collection not the query. The content match pattern did not include a "/" at end which when resolved gave an accurate count. Thanks for the assistance.
I have a view control and make the query string by the search param from the application layout control.Full text index is already enabled, the code in the search property like below:
var queryStr="";
if(param.option=="byName"){
queryStr="[name]="+param.search;
}
else{
queryStr="[title]="+param.search;
}
return queryStr;
i found that the queryStr can be made correct,like "[name]=Vincent",but the view shows all documents contain the word "Vincent",not only the spesific field "name". Just like I used "Vincent" for search.
I want to know how to get the correct result.thank you!
Should it be?
"[name] CONTAINS "+param.search;
similar to this:
[Projectname] CONTAINS top secret
Use the word CONTAINS rather then = ?
I'm not 100% sure but there was a recent blog post on seaching just the other day: http://lostinxpages.com/2014/05/15/exporting-to-excel-using-queries-in-xpages/
Finally I find the problem. The full-text syntax works fine, both "field/FIELD/[]" or "contains/CONTAINS/=" can work. But I used an application layout for search. The search button generate two parameters: "option"(if you choosed before) and "search" by default. The search parameter is used as the value of the view control's search property directly. When I customed this property by myself ,it would not be used(if the ssjs return a null) or generate an " not understandable" error(if the ssjs return a string,which is normal in most situation). The solution is give that two parameters custom parameter name .like fieldName for option, searchText for search. After that, you can use param.fieldName and param.searchText to build your full-text search string.I have tried ,and it works fine now.
For the most part David Leedys answer should work. Some pointers on diagnosing FTI issues though.
1. Your search phrase must be surrounded by quotes. Example:
queryStr='[name] = "' + param.search + '"';
2. Get the actual fully constructed search string and test it in the Notes FTI search bar. Do you get the same incorrect results? If so, then fix the search string.
3. If it is working in the Notes client then add the following debug to the Domino servers notes.ini file (alternatively: set config from console).
Debug_FTV_Search=1
When you run a search it should generate debug like this: Search [name] CONTAINS "String"
IN FTGSearch
[22E8:008A-1710] option = 0x400219
[22E8:008A-1710] Query: ( FIELD name CONTAINS "String")

You want to check the Query and Engine Query from client search vs XPage to see what is generated. If they don't match, update your question with the results so we can see what's going on.
The disqualified section tells you if search results were dropped. For example, if your XPage was running under credentials that were not allowed to view the documents, then disqualified by ACL would have a value.
4. The Notes client has two search syntax methods. There is "Notes" and "Web" style. By default for R9 (and R8.x IIRC) is Web style (client). The server uses Notes style.
You can change the client behavior in the Basic Settings preferences.
The Web style does not understand Notes syntax unless the first word in the search is a reserved keyword and all in uppercase.
Example.
Will use "web" search: field name contains "string"
Will use "Notes" search: FIELD name contains "string"
I am not sure if that impacts XPiNC though (never tested it).
I have the following:
tmpArray[cTerms++] = "[sclenka] CONTAINS \"*" + sessionScope.sclenka +"*\"";
(With the help of Per Henrik Lausten)
Which should result in: "*term*"
But it doesn't, I get this instead: "term"
So, my question is how do I use wildcard full text search?
Thank you!
If you want to use a wildcard search, then generate the following query string:
tmpArray[cTerms++] = "[sclenka] = \"*" + sessionScope.sclenka +"*\"";
This should generate a search on "*search query*".
In general, this is a good way of performing a search since the user probably expect your search to work like that.
Source: http://www-10.lotus.com/ldd/ddwiki.nsf/dx/Searching_for_Documents#Full-text+Search
If your string is correct and you are getting no results, then test the same string in the Notes client FTI search.
You can also use the following debug on the server.
DEBUG_FTV_SEARCH=1
Then check the output on the domino console when you do a search.
So if I understand you, the result is an escaped form of the search term in which the asterisks have been removed?
Could you use the construct:
tmpArray[cTerms++] = "[sclenka] CONTAINS \"" + String.fromCharCode(42) + sessionScope.sclenka + String.fromCharCode(42) + "\"";
At least that should avoid escaping?
I think you have missed a bit of escaping characters in the String you are generating.
tmpArray[cTerms++] = "[sclenka] CONTAINS \"" + sessionScope.sclenka +"\"";
leyrer, is it possible -- just possible -- that you're doing this in a browser and your session is not authenticated? If so, you may be searching the database as "anonymous" where when you test from the browser you're searching as "leyrer".
It's just a thought - but I used to see that all the time when people would start using my NCT Search tools. They'd swear they were getting no results, and when I'd dig I'd always find that they were using the browser as anonymous rather than as a logged in session.
#GKIDD
I just tested this on my own site. I have NCTSearch setup. I accepts the search term from the the web and runs database.ftsearch() as part of its job from within lotuscript.
I searched on "data*" and got at least as many results as when I searched on "database".
Based on that, I think something else is going on.
From my earlier comment on other answer, try this: Create another agent that does JUST the search. Have it grab the search term from agent context as if it were a docid. Call the agent from the first agent using "agent.runonserver(searchterm)" see if you can fool it
Andrew, I'm getting the results with Anonymous user, but not with the wildcard. Here goo.gl/YVtXm on the first line, it says that CONTAINS or contains or = does not work when searching from the web.
Query's throwing an ORA-00907 Error when I try to paste a list of values into a criteria.
Background: I'm not a developer, I'm just an end user that's studied enough to where I can write queries using PS/Query within Peoplesoft,
for my company's implementation. I work with Peoplesoft's FSCM module
(Financials and Supply Chain Management), currently on Version FSCM
8.90.08.024, using I think Oracle 11g as the base database.
I'm mostly self-taught, and the technical experts we have are busy
with database/application stuff, or they aren't familiar with my
section's specific data needs.
I should point out that I'm unable to directly write SQL statements to
Query the database. I have to use a built-in program called "PS/Query"
(also known as Query Manager) with a GUI that writes the SQL for you
and saves it as a Query that you can run to the database to extract
data. This is relevant to my question only in that:
1. I cannot create or alter views/tables
2. I cannot perform any type of SQL Statement except "SELECT"
3. I can embed PL/SQL, MetaSQL and plain SQL into Expressions
4. At this point, Query Manager is the only option I have.
PS/Query is my only experience with SQL so far, aside from Oracle's
documentation and sites like this. From my research, it's considered
extremely confining by "actual" SQL programmers.The restrictions on it
require you to do things in a manner that violates what seem to be
best practices of SQL coding.
Query Request: I have a query I've been requested to write that pulls out spend (on Vouchers and POs) against certain system-defined
Category Codes. What I'm trying to do is pull in Voucher IDs, sum the
merchandise amounts on them by Vendor and Category Code, and display
the results. Or in other words, for every unique combination of
Vendor/Category, add up all the Voucher Amounts that have that
Vendor/Category combination.
Using the SUM (Fieldname) OVER (PARTITION BY fieldname, fieldname)
syntax.
So the end result should look something like...
Code Vendor Amount
123-45 Acme $5000.00
123-45 Apple $4200.00
123-46 Acme $750.00
With that said, here's the SQL that Query Manager is displaying to get the result set I showed above:
SELECT DISTINCT D.CATEGORY_CD, D.TN_DESCR1000, C.VENDOR_ID, E.NAME1, SUM ( A.MERCH_AMT_VCHR) OVER (PARTITION BY D.CATEGORY_CD, C.VENDOR_ID),E.SETID,E.VENDOR_ID
FROM PS_PO_LINE_MATCHED A, PS_PO_LINE B, PS_PO_HDR C, PS_ITM_CAT_TBL D, PS_VENDOR E, PS_PYMNT_VCHR_XREF F
WHERE A.BUSINESS_UNIT = B.BUSINESS_UNIT
AND A.PO_ID = B.PO_ID
AND A.LINE_NBR = B.LINE_NBR
AND B.BUSINESS_UNIT = C.BUSINESS_UNIT
AND B.PO_ID = C.PO_ID
AND D.CATEGORY_ID = B.CATEGORY_ID
AND D.EFFDT =
(SELECT MAX(D_ED.EFFDT) FROM PS_ITM_CAT_TBL D_ED
WHERE D.SETID = D_ED.SETID
AND D.CATEGORY_TYPE = D_ED.CATEGORY_TYPE
AND D.CATEGORY_CD = D_ED.CATEGORY_CD
AND D.CATEGORY_ID = D_ED.CATEGORY_ID
AND D_ED.EFFDT <= SYSDATE)
AND ( F.SCHEDULED_PAY_DT >= TO_DATE('2010-07-01','YYYY-MM-DD')
AND F.SCHEDULED_PAY_DT <= TO_DATE('2011-06-30','YYYY-MM-DD'))
AND D.CATEGORY_CD LIKE :1
AND E.VENDOR_ID = C.VENDOR_ID
AND A.BUSINESS_UNIT = F.BUSINESS_UNIT
AND A.VOUCHER_ID = F.VOUCHER_ID
ORDER BY 1
Underlying Issue: This works fine, but it can only prompt on one
Category Code at a time. Category Codes are 5 digits, a 3-digit
"Class" followed by a dash and then a 2-digit "subclass. I have a list
of 375 Category Codes I need to get this Query result for.
I've set up a prompt on this version that allows entry of a Wildcard
(So 123-%%), but that's still about a hundred separate runs of the
Query. Query Manager allows use of an "In List" expression type in
Criteria, but it requires you to manually enter each entry in the
list.
I'm trying to set it up to where I can paste a plaintext copy of the
Code list into an Expression, with proper quotes/commas, and have it
evaluate that to give me a combined list of all the NIGP codes
specified. The Prompt field created by Query Manager doesn't allow
pasting of lists (as far as I know).
Attempted Solution: I viewed the page at http://peoplesoft.ittoolbox.com/groups/technical-functional/peoplesoft-other-l/create-an-expression-in-psoft-90-query-to-paste-a-list-of-emplids-2808427 and I've tried some of the answers given there, but none of them worked. That page led to me trying this modified SQL (obviously the list of codes is truncated a bit for display here):
SELECT DISTINCT D.CATEGORY_CD, D.TN_DESCR1000, C.VENDOR_ID, E.NAME1, SUM ( A.MERCH_AMT_VCHR) OVER (PARTITION BY D.CATEGORY_CD, C.VENDOR_ID),E.SETID,E.VENDOR_ID
FROM PS_PO_LINE_MATCHED A, PS_PO_LINE B, PS_PO_HDR C, PS_ITM_CAT_TBL D, PS_VENDOR E, PS_PYMNT_VCHR_XREF F
WHERE A.BUSINESS_UNIT = B.BUSINESS_UNIT
AND A.PO_ID = B.PO_ID
AND A.LINE_NBR = B.LINE_NBR
AND B.BUSINESS_UNIT = C.BUSINESS_UNIT
AND B.PO_ID = C.PO_ID
AND D.CATEGORY_ID = B.CATEGORY_ID
AND D.EFFDT =
(SELECT MAX(D_ED.EFFDT) FROM PS_ITM_CAT_TBL D_ED
WHERE D.SETID = D_ED.SETID
AND D.CATEGORY_TYPE = D_ED.CATEGORY_TYPE
AND D.CATEGORY_CD = D_ED.CATEGORY_CD
AND D.CATEGORY_ID = D_ED.CATEGORY_ID
AND D_ED.EFFDT <= SYSDATE)
AND ( F.SCHEDULED_PAY_DT >= TO_DATE('2010-07-01','YYYY-MM-DD')
AND F.SCHEDULED_PAY_DT <= TO_DATE('2011-06-30','YYYY-MM-DD'))
AND D.CATEGORY_CD = '005-00' OR D.CATEGORY_CD IN ('015-00,'' '015-06,'' '015-10,'' '615-07'')
AND E.VENDOR_ID = C.VENDOR_ID
AND A.BUSINESS_UNIT = F.BUSINESS_UNIT
AND A.VOUCHER_ID = F.VOUCHER_ID
ORDER BY 1
And the SQL above is what's giving me the ORA-00907 error. Has anyone ran into this problem before? Massive wall of text, I know. My apologies. This is my first post here and I'm trying not to leave anything relevant out.
I've got the immediate problem that spurred this question fixed,but that request is just the tip of a very large iceberg, and at some point I need to figure out a way to be able to paste plaintext lists in as criteria using Query Manager, preferably in a way that plays nice with Analytic Grouping.
TL;DR version:
Using Peoplesoft Query Manager to do an Analytic SUM with grouping using OVER, PARTITION BY. When I try to paste a list into the criteria, it throws an ORA-00907 Error.
Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks!
Ok, after a bit more tweaking with this, I've found what I think is the underlying issue.
The error, in this case, is two-fold. Part of it was my fault (I didn't check for Peoplesoft mangling the quotation marks I pulled from Word), and part of it was the way Query Manager interprets some kinds of functions (you have to wrap some stuff in a Case When statement to get it to evaluate properly).
First, the "My Fault" part:
Every time I was pasting in my list of test NIGP Codes, I was doing it from a file I kept saved in Microsoft Word.
Which has the probably-handy "replace straight quotes with smart quotes" feature. Peoplesoft goes bonkers when its presented a "smart quote", and will display them as upside-down question marks (there's probably a technical term, I don't know it).
So when I'd test suggestions (such as fixing the quote/comma order as suggested by #Rene Nyffenegger and #WayneH) I'd start with my base test query, add in the expressions and test it, saving it as a separate query. If they didn't work, I'd go back to the base query. That way I could iterate changes and save potential tests as different versions.
My mistake was in not saving the different versions, leaving the application and going back in. It's when you save the query, leave the page, go somewhere else in Peoplesoft, then go back to open Query Manager that it actually shows you that it's doing the character conversion. You can't see it unless you do that. Even though Query Manager is doing it. So it was throwing a character Query Manager wouldn't recognize, but not showing me the character it wouldn't recognize.
I got a new work PC recently, and I've now disabled the Smart Quotes auto-replace for future use.
Second, the "Query Manager: part:
On the version of this that I got to work, I made use of wrapping the "IN" function inside a Case statement. I've found that a lot of SQL functions, when used "plain" (as I'd define them by just copy-pasting from Oracle's definitions pages and filling in the appropriate variables) tend to give PS/Query (Query Manager) heartburn. But if you wrap them inside a CASE...WHEN...END statement that evaluates the result of the function and then build a criteria that selects based on certain values of that result, the function will work and properly display a result.
So for an example, set up this expression (like in the example from #qyb2zm302). I'm using different codes from what was in my original example, but they work the same (they're all five-digit, character-typed codes consisting of three digits, a dash, then two digits)
Case when E.CATEGORY_CD IN
('375-15', '375-30', '375-54', '375-60', '380-30','938-63')
then 'true'
else 'false'
end
And then set a criteria:
AND
Case when E.CATEGORY_CD IN
('375-15', '375-30', '375-54', '375-60', '380-30','938-63')
then 'true'
else 'false'
end
= 'true'
It'll run to completion and return any rows that have that Category Code.
If you don't want to do that, you can do like in #qyb2zm302's Method 2. The only downside to that in Query Manager is that you have to enter them into individual rows in the "List", and if you can only copy-paste 25 at a time.
Wrapping it in a Case Statement lets you paste it directly into an Expression, which is far better for larger lists.
Solutions:
The above is the code I went with that worked. It's simplifying a bit for brevity's sake, but it works.
In List works through the native Query Manager option as long as you manually-populate the list
D.CATEGORY_CD = '005-00' OR works as long as you wrap it in a Case Statement
D.CATEGORY_CD IN ('015-00','015-06','015-10','615-07') works as long as you wrap it in a Case Statement
Peoplesoft hates Smart Quotes. None of the above will work if you're copying quotation marks directly from Word, but you won't see it unless you save, leave and come back to the same query in edit mode
Formatting is important. All of the above require the proper comma/quotation formatting, as pointed out by Rene and Wayne. Meaning: ('xxx-xx', 'xxx-01','xxx-02') etc
Thanks to everyone who helped on this! I don't think I've head-desked this hard before on any question, but I guess that's part of the learning process. Since all the answers posted are valid and correct (or at least a portion of the larger "correct"), I'm going to flag them all.
The
D.CATEGORY_CD IN ('015-00,'' '015-06,'' '015-10,'' '615-07'')
part looks fishy to me
Since a '' within a string "evaluates" to a single ' the first string is
'015-00,'' '
followed by (the non-string)
015-06,
The following '' is probably the thing that the parser stumbles upon since it's pretty meaningless.
Edit try it with a D.CATEGORY_CD IN ('015-00', '015-06', '015-10', '615-07').
Following the link you posted, I see 2 methods for doing what you are trying to accomplish.
I also notice that you tried a 3rd method.
Method 1
Criteria > Add Criteria
Expression Type: Character
Length: 255
Expression Text: D.CATEGORY_CD IN ('015-00','015-06','015-10','615-07') AND 1
Condition Type: equal to
Constant: 1
Method 2
Criteria > Add Criteria
Field: D.CATEGORY_CD
Condition Type: in list
Value: 015-00','015-06','015-10','615-07
Method 3 (Your Method)
Criteria > Add Criteria
Field: D.CATEGORY_CD
Condition Type: equal to
Define Expression: '015-00' OR D.CATEGORY_CD IN ('015-00','015-06','015-10','615-07')
Question) Does the below exactly match the text you are putting the Expression box?
'015-00' OR D.CATEGORY_CD IN ('015-00','015-06','015-10','615-07')
If not, what are you putting in that box?
I think the D.CATEGORY_CD criteria are giving you the problems, I changed the double quotes to single quotes and then it still looked strange to me. I then notice the commas are inside your quotes and not between them, try making the one criteria line look like this:
before:
OR D.CATEGORY_CD IN ('015-00,'' '015-06,'' '015-10,'' '615-07'')
after:
OR D.CATEGORY_CD IN ('015-00', '015-06', '015-10', '615-07')
Also, the "IN" is an implied "OR" and I am not sure if you have parenthesis around the two D.CATEGORY_CD,
I would just put the one additional code into the IN criteria and remove the "D.CATEGORY_CD =" line:
before:
AND D.CATEGORY_CD = '005-00' OR D.CATEGORY_CD IN ('015-00', '015-06', '015-10', '615-07')
after:
AND D.CATEGORY_CD IN ('015-00', '015-06', '015-10', '615-07', '005-00')
Of course, you are already ordering by CATEGORY_CD, you could remove this criteria and pull all categories in one run (that is unless there are too many rows for excel), and then you might also want to include either VENDOR_ID or NAME1 in the ORDER BY clause.
Hope that helps you.
