SYMPTOMS
In an HMC extract accessing a UDT in a fast formula to find an email address. Defined extract
columns to contain the table, column and row names and pass these to the fast formula. The
formula uses these in a call to HR_GET_TABLE_VALUE, but the default value is always
returned. Tried changing contexts in the fast formula to the LDG of the UDT and calling
GET_TABLE_VALUE instead, but the results are the same.
Formula is below:
DEFAULT FOR DATA_ELEMENTS IS EMPTY_TEXT_TEXT
INPUTS ARE DATA_ELEMENTS (TEXT_TEXT)
L_TABLE_NAME = DATA_ELEMENTS['TABLE_NAME']
L_ROW_NAME = DATA_ELEMENTS['ROW_NAME']
L_COLUMN_NAME = DATA_ELEMENTS['COLUMN_NAME']
L_OUTPUT_VAL = ' '
L_DATA = ess_log_write('TABLE_NAME ::'+L_TABLE_NAME )
L_DATA = ess_log_write('ROW_NAME ::'+L_ROW_NAME )
L_DATA = ess_log_write('COLUMN_NAME ::'+L_COLUMN_NAME)
CHANGE_CONTEXTS(ENTERPRISE_ID=1)
(
L_OUTPUT_VAL = HR_GET_TABLE_VALUE ( L_TABLE_NAME, L_COLUMN_NAME, L_ROW_NAME, 'N/A' )
)
L_DATA = ESS_LOG_WRITE( ' Return Value : '+L_OUTPUT_VAL)
rule_value = L_OUTPUT_VAL
RETURN rule_value
Logs show that the correct values are passed to the formula:
TABLE_NAME ::JF_EMAIL_LIST_TO_CLOUD
ROW_NAME ::CASS_NOTIFICATION_EXTRACT
COLUMN_NAME ::RECIPIENT
Return Value : N/A
This query returns the expected value:
SELECT value
FROM ff_user_column_instances_f
WHERE user_row_id IN (SELECT user_row_id
FROM ff_user_rows_vl
WHERE user_table_id IN (SELECT user_table_id
FROM ff_user_tables
WHERE base_user_table_name = 'JF_EMAIL_LIST_TO_CLOUD')
AND row_name = 'CASS_NOTIFICATION_EXTRACT')
AND user_column_id IN (SELECT user_column_id
FROM ff_user_columns
WHERE user_table_id IN (SELECT user_table_id
FROM ff_user_tables
WHERE base_user_table_name = 'JF_EMAIL_LIST_TO_CLOUD')
AND BASE_USER_COLUMN_NAME = 'RECIPIENT');
CAUSE
The values for the GET_TABLE_VALUE call are:
BASE_USER_TABLE_NAME - table name
BASE_USER_COLUMN_NAME - column name
ROW_LOW_RANGE_OR_NUMBER - row name
In this instance, the row name has the problem. There is no
ROW_LOW_RANGE_OR_NUMBER value which is passed to the fomrula. When values are
updated from the User Interface (UI), the base / internal value is not changed e.g.
ROW_LOW_RANGE_OR_NUMBER, only the translated / display value is changed e.g.
ROW_NAME. This is the standard implementation.
SOLUTION
Use the following query:
select ff_user_tables_pkg.get_table_value(NNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNN, to_date('2018-11-
05', 'YYYY-MM-DD'), 'JF_EMAIL_LIST_TO_CLOUD', 'RECIPIENT',
'CASS_NOTIFICATION_EXTRACT', 'N/A')
from dual;
Also, the following query:
select u.base_user_table_name
, u.user_table_name
, u.range_or_match
, u.user_key_units
, c.base_user_column_name
, c.user_column_name
, c.data_type
, r.row_low_range_or_name
, r.row_name
, to_char(r.effective_start_date, 'YYYY-MM-DD') esd
, to_char(r.effective_end_date, 'YYYY-MM-DD') eed
, r.row_high_range
, to_char(uci.effective_start_date, 'YYYY-MM-DD') uci_esd
, to_char(uci.effective_end_date, 'YYYY-MM-DD') uci_eed
from ff_user_tables_vl u
, ff_user_columns_vl c
, ff_user_rows_vl r
, ff_user_column_instances_f uci
where u.base_user_table_name = 'YOUR UDT'
and u.legislative_data_group_id = NNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNN
and c.user_table_id = u.user_table_id
and r.user_table_id = u.user_table_id
and uci.user_column_id = c.user_column_id
and uci.user_row_id = r.user_row_id
and (r.effective_start_date between
uci.effective_start_date and uci.effective_end_date or
r.effective_end_date between
uci.effective_start_date and uci.effective_end_date);
