I think this is a pretty serious limitation. One way around this is to create a view that performs this sub-select and then to use that view in your query.

1. Think about the scenario in PSQuery and build it in PSQuery
2. Think about the scenario in SQL, write and test in SQL and then replicate the logic in PSQuery

I prefer the second approach, as I think it lets you be more expressive and utilise the full power of SQL. Then the challange isn't how do you write the query, it becomes how to do you make PSQuery generate the SQL…

Since I don't have the table/view names, I figure the SQL might look something like this?

 select A.ID, A.SUBJECT, A.CRSE_NUMBER, A.SECTION, count(distinct B.ORG) from TABLE1 A inner join TABLE2 B on A.SUBJECT = B.SUBJECT group by A.ID, A.SUBJECT, A.CRSE_NUMBER, A.SECTION having count(distinct B.ORG) > 1 

This joins the two tables together on subject, groups by the fields in TABLE1 and then counts the number distinct ORGs in TABLE2 and only returns cases where there is more than 1 distinct ORG.

To do this PSQuery:

• Add your two tables in the query, standard join on the common fields (e.g. INSTITUTION, SUBJECT)

• Select the appropriate fields you need from TABLE1

• Click on Having, and add the having criteria. You will need to add an expression which is count(distinct B.ACAD_ORG) as an aggregate function so that it generates the correct having SQL. I don't think you can get around this without using an expression. Make it greater than or equal to a constant value of 1.

• Go to expressions and add your expression as a field as well (to list the distinct ORGs)

Here's a screenshot of the expression I think you would need:

Here's a screenshot of the having crteria properties you would then use:

Note this took a bit of fiddling to get right in PSQuery, hopefully I have the steps right, please reply if you have any problems.

2 Tables:

table 1

ID SUBJECT CRSE_NUMBER SECTION
1 TEST 500 1
1 PRP 600 3

2 TEST 100 1
2 TE 100 1

3 PRP 200 4
3 BT 500 1
3 SD 200 5

Joined with table 2 on subject

SUBJECT ORG

TEST TEST
TE TEST
PRP PRP
BT BTL
SD SDY

I need to find all IDs that have more then 1 ORG so it would only retrieve:

ID SUBJECT CRSE_NUMBER SECTION
1 TEST 500 1
1 PRP 600 3

3 PRP 3200 4
3 BT 4500 1
3 SD 4200 5

Help is appreciated.

Could you provide some more information about what you mean by the place where is managed the link to our cobol? COBOLs are generally run through the PeopleSoft application through the process scheduler or through Remote Call via PeopleCode.

Remote call settings are configured in the application server configuration file (psappsrv.cfg) and by default it wil look for compiled COBOL files in:

• Windows: %PS_HOME%\cblbin[A/E/U] (A = non-unicode, E = EBDIC or U = unicode)
• Unix: %PS_HOME%\cblbin

These settings can be overridden.

Within the application, all you can really do in relation to COBOLs is to confirm that remote call is working through:

• PeopleTools > Utilities > Debug > PeopleTools Test Utilities

For COBOLs run through the process scheduler, you can check the configuration of the COBOL process types related to your process scheduler OS and database through:

• PeopleTools > Process Scheduler > Process Types

Thanks in advance for your help. I have a recurrence set up with custom dates of the last day of each month -1. For 2009 I have only two dates left for this year, November 29 and December 30. When I try to schedule reports using this recurrence the instance is scheduled for December 30 and it skips November 29.

My questions are.
How are users out there currently using Active Directory with Peoplesoft?

Does PeopleSoft have the ability to query or write directly to Active Directory? If so how?

My initial thoughts were to have PeopleSoft instigate the creation of the user and then pass needed information to a web service or something to have the Active Directory account portion created. is this an ok method?

Looking for any assitance or direction one could provide.

Thanks.

Meow!!

You may be referring to Guest access which is set up via your web profile under the Security tab of the web profile.

PeopleTools > Web Profile > Web Profile Configuration » Security

Look for the Publis Users section and you will see a UserId and a password.

This says what user will be automatically logged in when a direct link is served. Obviously the user (normally a GUEST user) will need access to the direct link. You could then publish your defaulter list generation process under the Guest user (via a role and permission of course) and then directly serve the link to this menu/component.

Let us know if this helps…

Then on each menu where the componet is accessed use the search view override to override this search view with the search view you wish to use online i.e. The one with the security in it.

If you are using the CI within an Application Engine or other batch process then you most likely dont need security on the search view thus increasing performance.

Hope this helps for those using AE.

There are two different SQR binary paths, one with ORA for Oracle and one with MSS for Microsoft SQL Server.
The path to the SQRW tool is something like this: %PS_HOME%\bin\sqr\ORA\BINW or %PS_HOME%\bin\sqr\MSS\BINW.

Not sure if this makes a difference ?

Showing error in Command prompt as

Oracle OCIServerAttach error
Cannot logon to the database.

When running Microsoft SQL Server as databse.why i am getting Oracle error.

IN SQRW i gave
Username = sa
Password = sa
Database = FSCM89

Username and Password are same as of Microsoft SQL Server database.

I think there may be settings to change my database from Oracle to Sql server.Can any one help me in resolving this issue.

This might be possible using Component Interface PeopleCode.

I believe you would need to:

1. Create the appropriate method in your CI method PeopleCode
2. Call the method as part of the code you use to access the CI

Some delivered examples are the USER_PROFILE component interface which includes additional methods (functions) like ResetPassword and SetPassword. Another example is the PROCESSREQUEST component interface.

Step 2 is really the trick. If you are using a CI for the inbound data conversion then it should simply be a matter of calling the "pre-edit" method before you insert/update/delete and save data using the CI. However, I'm not sure if that's what you are actually doing?

I have inbound conversion data using a business unit from legacy. I need to change this field to be the new PeopleSoft business unit. I have a PeopleSoft record where I can access this cross reference, and would like to write the code in the Component Interface. My goal is to not touch delivered components/pages/record peoplecode, but to somehow use the component interface's peoplecode. Is this possible?

… content type text/html of the response message does not match the content type of the binding (text/xml; charset=utf-8). If using a custom encoder, be sure that the IsContentTypeSupported method is implemented properly …

Just wondering if the line where you pass data to the web service object, you should be passing the actual EmplID rather than the object?

So change the line to:

 emplResponse = MyWebService.EmpCreate(emplRqst.EMPLID) 

It would seem like this is a type mismatch error. Not sure if I'm reading your code right so apologies if that's what you are in fact doing.

The service operations security link is supposed to bring up a pop-up window. So if you are using IE you may need to tweak your security settings (Tools > Internet Options > Security) to allow pop ups etc. I've generally found the easiest solution is to make the entire PeopleSoft site (or even the entire domain e.g. *.peoplesoftwiki.com) a trusted site. If that doesn't work then, yes there may be something quite wrong, but hopefully that's all it is.
