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.

I tested this on a unix system, and set the log path to a folder I created: $PS_HOME/log/XMLP. Note that the LogDir doesn't like environment variables, e.g. I had to hard code the path to $PS_HOME and it will throw an error if you specify a location it can't write to.

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.

Level 1 table: setid (key), recnbr (key), effdt (key), effseq (key),…
Level 2 view: setid (key), descr (key), recnbr (key), effdt (key), effseq(key),…

However when I fixed it, I put the 'descr (key)' after the last Level 1 key and it then did not give me the No Matching Buffer error.
I was confused when I got the error because I didn't even realize that I had changed the order of the keys in the Level 2 view.
thanks for your site!

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?

A couple of catches:

• Once you format the project XML it is no longer valid for re-import. So make a copy of it when doing this.
• You need an additional file PeopleCodeViewer.xsl to exist in the same directory as your edited project XML. The source for this file is on the site, but doesn't work with a straight copy and paste so, here's a formatted version of it (note all credit goes to the original site for this code)
• Simply open your edited project XML file in a browser to see the formatted results.

 <xsl:stylesheet version="1.0" xmlns:xsl="http://www.w3.org/1999/XSL/Transform"> <xsl:template match="/root"> <html> <header> <xsl:variable name="project" select="instance[@class='PJM']" /> <h1> Project: <xsl:value-of select="$project/rowset/row/szProjectName" /> </h1> <h3> Description: <xsl:value-of select="$project/rowset/row/szProjectDescr" /> </h3> </header> <body> <xsl:for-each select="instance[@class='PCM']"> <table> <tr> <td> <h5> <xsl:value-of select="rowset/row/szObjectValue_0" />: <xsl:value-of select="rowset/row/szObjectValue_1" />: <xsl:value-of select="rowset/row/szObjectValue_2" />: <xsl:value-of select="rowset/row/szObjectValue_3" />: <xsl:value-of select="rowset/row/szObjectValue_4" /> </h5> </td> </tr> <tr> <td> <pre> <xsl:value-of select="peoplecode_text" /> </pre> </td> </tr> </table> </xsl:for-each> </body> </html> </xsl:template> </xsl:stylesheet> 

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.

Thanks for the no matching buffer error tip too. I've added it to the article.

Thanks again for the help and sorry for the multiple posts here.

I got up to: Click on the Service Operation Security link, confirm the delivered permission list PTPT1200 is there and that access is set to Full Access

When I click the Service Operations Security Link it doesn't go any place. No error or anything. It is like it refreshes the Service Operations page is all. I tried a couple of other services with the same result. Maybe this is why these are not working?

However, I am still having an issue with making it work and maybe one of the things you mention above will solve this too and if so please let me know and I will try them out.

My form has 3 boxes, am emlid, last name, first name and a button. This code is part of the click event on the button:

Dim MyWebService As New MyEmployeeWebService.CI_NDU_AO_EMP2_T_PortTypeClient
Dim emplRqst As New MyEmployeeWebService.CreateCompIntfcNDU_AO_EMP2_TTypeShape

Dim EmplID As New MyEmployeeWebService.EMPLIDTypeShape
Dim LastName As New MyEmployeeWebService.LAST_NAMETypeShape
Dim FirstName As New MyEmployeeWebService.FIRST_NAMETypeShape

EmplID.Value = txtEmplID.Text
LastName.Value = txtLastName.Text
FirstName.Value = txtFirstName.Text

emplRqst.EMPLID = EmplID
emplRqst.LAST_NAME = LastName
emplRqst.FIRST_NAME = FirstName

Dim emplResponse As New MyEmployeeWebService.CreateCompIntfcNDU_AO_EMP2_TResponseTypeShape

emplResponse = MyWebService.EmpCreate(emplRqst)

I get to the the last line (emplResponse = MyWebService.empCreate(emplRqst) and an error is thrown below:

The 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. The first 572 bytes of the response were: '<?xml version="1.0" ?><SOAP-ENV:Envelope xmlns:SOAP-ENV="http://schemas.xmlsoap.org/soap/envelope/"><SOAP-ENV:Body><SOAP-ENV:Fault><faultcode>SOAP-ENV:Server</faultcode><faultstring>null</faultstring><detail><IBResponse type="error"><DefaultTitle>Integration Broker Response</DefaultTitle><StatusCode>20</StatusCode><MessageID>505</MessageID><DefaultMessage><![CDATA[Unable to find a Routing corresponding to the incoming request message.]]></DefaultMessage><MessageParameters></MessageParameters></IBResponse></detail></SOAP-ENV:Fault></SOAP-ENV:Body></SOAP-ENV:Envelope>'.

Any ideas?

Also, is there a spot where you can check what the statuscodes or MessageID's mean?

The second error message you are getting when using the IP address of the gateway is slightly more helpful. It may suggest an issue with some of the internal integration broker settings.

Can you check the following:

• Navigate to PeopleTools > Integration Broker > Integration Setup > Service Operations
• Open up the service operation GETWSDL (its part of the IB_UTILITY service)
• Confirm that on the General tab, the routing status of Any-To-Local is exists (Local-to-Local can be set to does not exists)
• Click on the Service Operation Security link, confirm the delivered permission list PTPT1200 is there and that access is set to Full Access
• In the Handlers tab, the handler is REQUSTHDLR, OnRequest, AppClass and Active.
• In the Routings tab you should have an auto generated routing with the sender node as ~~ANY~~ and receiver node as your default local node (depends on your configuration). Make sure this routing is active.
• Click on the routing hyperlink to view its properties.
• In the parameters tab, check the external alias it should just be GetWSDL. If not, then you will have a problem.

It appears that something in this area may be incorrect which is why you are getting these errors. I had a look at the code in the PT_INTEGRATION.GetWSDL application class, and the statement the error is referring to is:

 &wsdlstring = %IntBroker.GetWSDL(&wsdlname | "." | &vername); 

So it may be having problems calling the internal GetWSDL service operation.

It might also be security related. Can you check the default user ID set for the ANONYMOUS node under:

• PeopleTools > Integration Broker > Integration Setup > Nodes

This user should have the permission list PTPT1200 which is the default set under service operation security for the GETWSDL service operation. To check, run the following SQL in your database, changing the OPRID to the default user ID set on the ANONYMOUS node.

 select OPRCLASS from PSOPRCLS where OPRID = 'ANONYMOUS_NODE_DEFAULT_ID' order by OPRCLASS; 

In terms of which error log is which, the URL that uses the gateway URL should be the correct one. Although, it seems strange that you would have two, unless there is something wrong with the web server/IB configuration? Basically the gateway URL should be the URL of your web server.

Good luck, hopefully its one of these things :)

Thank you!

I followed the directions on your link below and when I get to the end othe publishing of the web service it comes up with a confirm results and a Generated WSDL URL: of the following:

http://wsdl.OurAddress.com/PSIGW/PeopleSoftServiceListeningConnector/CI_MESSAGE_CATALOG1.4.wsdl.
I then go into IE to see if is available to get the following error:

<?xml version="1.0" ?>

However, when I go into our gateway information there is an IP address specified. if i change the above to use our IP address as below:
http://123.123.123.111/PSIGW/PeopleSoftServiceListeningConnector/CI_MESSAGE_CATALOG1.4.wsdl.

I get the following error:
<?xml version="1.0" ?>

</DefaultMessage>
<MessageParameters />
</IBResponse>
</detail>
</SOAP-ENV:Fault>
</SOAP-ENV:Body>
</SOAP-ENV:Envelope>

it seems this might be an issue with all the environments we have setup? I dont' know if that IP address goes to the machine I am publishing this service on or not.

Concerning the error log. I get two different ones when i use each of the above addresses. any idea how i determine which one i should use?

My ultimate goal here is, I want to consume this web service in some of our VB.NET apps that we have. When I get this working I will then build my own web services to consume the data i require, but wanted to make sure this functioned first.

Thanks again for the assistance.

Thanks for the feedback on the Wiki. I'm glad you've found it useful.

Could you check your integration broker logs and post the error you receive there for further information? This article goes through Integration Broker Logging but basically, first try navigating to:

http://server:port/PSIGW/errorLog.html

Note the above is basically the first part of your web server gateway URL which you can get from:

• PeopleTools > Integration Broker > Configuration > Quick Configuration

Scroll to bottom of the logs for the latest error messages.

Note I've also updated the CI based web services article with some extra troubleshooting information which may be useful.

Retrieval of WSDL failed for wsdl name: NDFT.CI_MESSAGE_CATALOG1.1. (2,887) PT_INTEGRATION.GetWSDL.OnExecute Name:OnRequest PCPC:1627 Statement:33

I am not sure what this means? Also, we have multiple environments here so the environment where I created this Web Serive I preceeded the CI with the environment name and a dot.CI_MESSAGE_CATALOG1.1.wsdl

Any help would be great. Thanks for the wiki too. I have been searching for some good sites on PeopleSoft dev and they seem to be few and far between so am happy to see this.
Thanks.

Thanks

Find all user profiles that were updated in the last year.

To do this in SQL:

 select OPRID, LASTUPDDTTM from PSOPRDEFN where LASTUPDDTTM between (sysdate - 365) and sysdate order by LASTUPDDTTM desc; 

So find any user where the last update date/time LASTUPDDTTM is greater than or equal to 365 days (1 year) back from the current date, up until the current date.

Here's how you would create this expression in PS Query.

Note that I've replaced sysdate with meta-SQL - %CurrentDateTimeIn and %AddDate(%CurrentDateTimeIn, -365) to go back 365 days.

For the second part, you might want count all user profiles that were updated in the last year, grouped by each month. Here's the SQL you would write to do this:

 select to_char(LASTUPDDTTM, 'Month') as MONTH, count(distinct OPRID) from PSOPRDEFN where LASTUPDDTTM >= (sysdate - 365) and LASTUPDDTTM <= sysdate group by to_char(LASTUPDDTTM, 'Month'); 

The key here is the use of to_char to convert the month part of the LASTUPDDTTM field to a month. Here's how you would create the expression:

Add this as a field, and perform a count on the OPRID field.

also the number of resume received at the 31 of each month….

Thanks for your help

If you are trying to determine what server the logs are being logged to you can do a CTRL-J and see which app server.

Is there a way in peoplesoft to define/restrict certain users to run certain programs only on a particular application server (in a multi-node setup)

I would appreciate any pointers in that direction

Local object &oWorkApp, &oWorkSheet, &oWorkBook, &oRange, &oCells;

Heres our code compare side by side
&WorkApp = CreateObject ("COM", "Excel.Application"); your code
&oWorkApp = CreateObject("COM", "Excel.Application"); my code

&oWorkBook = ObjectGetProperty(&oWorkApp, "Workbooks"); my coode
&WorkBook = ObjectGetProperty(&WorkApp, "Workbooks"); your code

I hope it helps..

I have instantiated Excel Object in AE Peoplecode and have been successfully manipulating data cells in each worksheet tab of my workbook.
Now I want to copy a range of cells from one worksheet to another and paste its values on the other worksheet, though I dont encounter error but the
action does not execute. Also when I try to save the excel file it takes forever to save. Heres some part of my code
Appreciate your input.

get a cell range then;

&RangeSelected = &oCells.Copy;
&oWorkSheet1 = &oWorkApp.Worksheets("Sheet2");
&oCell = ObjectGetProperty(&oWorkSheet1, "Range", "A1");
&SheetSelected = &oWorkSheet1.Activate;
&oCell = ObjectGetProperty(&oCell, "PasteSpecial");

ObjectDoMethod(&WORKAPP, "Save", "C:\TEMP\TEST1.XLS");

Thanks a lot

Valkyrie

I found out the error. Actually, an old customization made at the Expense Report level was barring the PeopleCode Validation trigger.

Thanks for reading, hope to stay in touch for discussing PS!

 Local object &WorkApp; 

And remove, &WorkBook, does that make any difference?

Local object &WorkApp, &WorkBook;

&WorkApp = CreateObject ("COM", "Excel.Application");
&WorkBook = ObjectGetProperty(&WorkApp, "Workbooks");

etc
The message returned for the ObjectGetProperty statement says "Invalid parameter: CreateObject Excel.Application invalid class string for function ObjectGetProperty. The specified parameter is not correct for the function. It may be the wrong type of parameter (string, number, record, field etc) or an invalid value in this context.

Can anyone help?

I have a requirement that the moment a person logs on to the Peoplesoft portal He/She Should get a Message depending on the Data Present in the Application Table even a MessageBox would do

I think using iScript in the Sigon Peopleocde this could be done but not sure about any other possible solution.

One of the best ways I have found for writing such a script is to use the following query to identify the tables in the component and then to go through and remove the rows from the relevant tables:

 select distinct P.OCCURSLEVEL, R.RECNAME from PSPNLGROUP C inner join PSPNLFIELD P on C.PNLNAME = P.PNLNAME inner join PSRECDEFN R on R.RECNAME = P.RECNAME where C.PNLGRPNAME = 'COUNTRY_TABLE' and R.RECTYPE = 0 order by P.OCCURSLEVEL, R.RECNAME asc; 

Yes, this is a manual process and isn't always 100% correct, but at least you get an idea of which tables are involved and minimise the chances of creating a no matching buffer error.

Note that I assume the component for country table is COUNTRY_TABLE and that RECTYPE = 0 means only return tables (not views, dynamic views, derived records etc).

This will only remove the set up data. Not sure if you need to do a global search for tables with the field COUNTRY that have already used the incorrect country code?

 SYLK: File format is not valid 

Turns out that this is a known issue with Excel as reported in this Microsoft KB article (323626).

If the first two characters in your CSV file are a capital I followed by a capital D (ID) the error occurs. Change this and the error goes away. You can either change the name of the header field or use lowercase id.

An obvious one, but easy to forget.
