Oracle: error while trying to use formulas - oracle

I created an element with an input value of type "Day" , when i write a formula i get this error.
Any idea what's wrong?
APP-FF-33232:
EATC_EXTRA_DAYS_ENTRY_EFFECTIVE_DATE_ENTRY_VALUE has null or not found allowed, but no
default set specified.
Cause: If a Database Item has
null allowed, or not found allowed,
then the item must also specify a
default set to be used to provide
default values in the event of these
occurring. The item named has one of
these conditions allowed, but the
default set column in the
FF_DATABASE_ITEMS table is null.
Action: Please refer to your
local support representative.

I'm not an expert in Oracle Apps (to say the least) but the error message is fairly clear. You - or someone - have written a Fast Formula which references a database column EATC_EXTRA_DAYS_ENTRY_EFFECTIVE_DATE_ENTRY_VALUE. Apparently this column can be nullable, in which case your Formula needs to provide a default value. Something like:
default for EATC_EXTRA_DAYS_ENTRY_EFFECTIVE_DATE_ENTRY_VALUE is 01-JAN-2010
Or perhaps you can use SYSDATE or CURRENT_DATE rather than a fixed value.

Solution to error: You called database item in Fast formula,
you need to initialize the date to specific date
alias EATC_EXTRA_DAYS_ENTRY_EFFECTIVE_DATE_ENTRY_VALUE as day
default for day is 01-jan-2010

Informatica cloud: use field in pre/post sql commands

I am trying to delete a set of data in the target table based on a column (year) from the lookup in IICS (Informatica Cloud).
I want to solve this problem using pre/post sql commands but the constraint is I can't pass year column to my query.
I tried this:
delete from sample_db.tbl_emp where emp_year = {year}
I want to delete all the employees in a specific year i get from lookup return
For Ex:
I got year as '2019', all the records in table sample_db.tbl_emp containing emp_year=2019 must be deleted.
I am not sure how this works in informatica cloud.
Any leads would be helpful.
How are you getting the year value? A pre/post SQL may not be the way to go unless you need to do this as part of another transformation, i.e., before or after the transformation runs. Also, does your org only have ICDI, or also ICAI? ICAI may be a better solution depending on the value is being provided.
The following steps would help you achieve this.
Create an input-output parameter in your mapping.
Assign the result of your lookup in an expression transformation to the parameter using SetMaxVariable
Use the parameter in your target pre SQL as
delete from sample_db.tbl_emp where emp_year = $$parameter
Let me know if you have any further questions

Open formula doesn't return name

I have written open formula in Pentaho Report Designer 5.0.1 as:
=SINGLEVALUEQUERY("SELECT name FROM income_product where order_no=1";)
Rather than writing a query on data set and call from SINGLEVALUEQUERY() I want the string value from the above query.
PRD doesn't complain about the above formula as syntax error; it just returns null/nothing. What (if anything) is wrong in that formula?
I want to write that formula to generate dynamic column name for a report having order number 1 or greater. Is there any other way to make the column name dynamic for a report?
By "Dynamic column name", I mean making different organization have unique income_product_order.
If I just assign the order_no of income_product it automatically gets income_product_name as the column name for all organizations.
Did you set up your connection correctly? try adding a query over that connection and paste that query there. Does it return any data?
This is a good blog post on the subject: https://www.on-reporting.com/blog/using-queries-in-formulas-in-pentaho/
You can enable the "Display the index columns (...)" option under Settings. It'll allow you to reference columns either by name or by index (column0, column1, etc.)

IIF Statement in TablixFilter issue

I'm trying to filter a matrix in my report. I have names of 4 drivers and I want the Matrix5 to show the name of a default driver in case SELECT ALL is checked in filter. Otherwise I want the matrix to show whoever is checked.
I set an expression at matrix filter as;
=IIF(Parameters!Sofor.Count=4,"abcdef",Parameters!Sofor.Value)
-abcdef is the name of the default driver for the tablix
-Sofor is the driver name parameter and has 4 total possible name options, 5 if we consider SELECT ALL too.
It works well if I check SELECT ALL but stops working if I select only one option.
Error I'm getting is as follow;
"The processing of FilterExpression for the tablix "Tablix5" cannot be performed. Cannot compare data of types System.String and System.Object[]. Please check the data type returned by the FilterExpression"
Though the error sounds pretty self explanatory I still can't understand what I'm doing wrong. Any help please?
Parameters!Sofor.Value is an array of values (the object) because its a multi-select parameter. (what happens when the user chooses 2 drivers?)
Try
=IIF(Parameters!Sofor.Count=4,"abcdef",Parameters!Sofor.Value(0))

Hibernate - Orderding criteria by formula property

Say I have an entity MyEntity, and it has a formula-based property fmlaProp. Now say I create a criteria:
s.createCriteria(MyEntity.class)
.setProjection(
Projections.distinct(
Projections.property("fmlaProp")))
.addOrder(Order.asc("fmlaProp"));
in this case I get the following SQL:
SELECT DISTINCT fmlaProp-sql FROM MY_ENTITY_TABLE ORDER BY fmlaProp-sql
Which gives an error on Oracle saying that order-by expression is non-selected. Then I tried the following criteria:
s.createCriteria(MyEntity.class)
.setProjection(
Projections.distinct(
Projections.alias(
Projections.property("fmlaProp"),
"alias1"))
.addOrder(Order.asc("alias1"));
Which generates "order by alias1" which works fine. But it is kind of ugly -- the code must "know" of those formula properties, which violates "write once" principle. Any thoughts or suggestions on that? Thank you in advance.
This is expected behavior from Hibernate. It doesn't have to do with the formula property specifically, but that you want to do ordering with a projected value. From the Hibernate Docs:
An alias can be assigned to a projection so that the projected value can be referred to in restrictions or orderings. Here are two different ways to do this...
As far as alternatives, you could try making the formula property a virtual column (in versions of Oracle 11 and above) or wrapping the table in a view with this column computed. That way, Oracle will know fmlaprop directly, which can be used just like a "normal" column.

Enterprise Architect Oracle long field column properties

I have a little problem with Enterprise Architect by Sparx System.
Im trying to model database schema for Oracle. I created table with primary key with data type long. But when im trying to modify column properties (set AutoNum = true) I see empty properties. I read documentation of EA and saw that I need to setup this property to generate sequence syntax.
When I change data type to number, or switch database to mysql (for example) everything is alright, there are properties so Im able to modify AutoNum value.
Did you had similar problem and found solution ? or maybe im doing something wrong.
regards
It's becouse Oracle use sequence instead of autoincrement option. I've checked it and I think you have to use NUMBER column type and then set AutoNum property (you have to select Generate Sequences in options to get proper DDL code too). Instead of LONG data type you can set PRECISION and SCALE options on NUMBER type ie NUMBER(8) mean you can have 8 digits number and it can be set up to 38, so if you don't want to store info about every star in the universe will be enought for your scenario :)
