ORA-01861: literal does not match format string

[vireshkolagimat]

Hi All,

I am getting error literal does not match format string while executing the below script. I am getting the data from oracle database.

If QVD not exists, it will run without any issue. but for incremental loading  i am facing the above issue.

I am using vIncrementalExpression  variable to filter for latest records.

SET vQvdFile='C:\SalesPipeling.qvd';

SET vTableName='SalesPipeline';

SET vPK='SalesSalesPipelineId';

LET vQvdExists = if(FileSize('$(vQvdFile)') > 0, -1, 0);

IF $(vQvdExists) THEN

maxdateTab:

LOAD max(TransactionDate) as maxdate

FROM $(vQvdFile) (qvd);

LET vMaxdate = Date(Peek('maxdate',0,'maxdateTab'),'YYYY-MM-DD');

LET vLast30Days = Date(Peek('maxdate',0,'maxdateTab')-30,'YYYY-MM-DD');

IF IsNull(vMaxdate) then

LET vIncrementalExpression = '';

ELSE

LET vIncrementalExpression = 'and TransactionDate >= '&Chr(39)& '$(vLast30Days)' &Chr(39)&

' and TransactionDate <=' &Chr(39)& date(vReloadTime,'YYYY-MM-DD')&Chr(39);

ENDIF;

DROP table maxdateTab;

ELSE // QVD does not exist

LET vIncrementalExpression = 'and extract( YEAR from TransactionDate) >= extract(YEAR from sysdate)-3';

END IF

$(vTableName):

  LOAD

  floor(TRANSACTIONDATE) as TransactionDate,

SQL

  TRANSACTIONDATE,

FROM APPS.XXEGC_QV_SALES_PIPELINE_V

Where TRANSACTIONDATE > '01-Jan-14'

$(vIncrementalExpression) ;     // Include WHERE clause created in "Incremental Setup" tab

IF $(vQvdExists) THEN

// Use CONCATENATE in case we've added any new fields.

CONCATENATE ($(vTableName)) LOAD Distinct *  FROM $(vQvdFile) (qvd)

WHERE TransactionDate < '$(vLast30Days)';

END IF;

If ScriptErrorCount = 0 then

Call StoreAndDrop(vTableName,vQvdFile);

ENDIF;

SET vQvdFile='';

SET vTableName='';

SET vPK='';

Regards,

Viresh

May be check this in Debug option rather full download and highlight that line to troubleshoot. That may help to get into work

I think there are some mistakes in SQL statement ($(vIncrementalExpression))

Please run in debug mode or check log script, you can see more detail about SQL statement

Hi, This is what i see in the debugger.

ScriptErrorDetails "SQL##f - SqlState: S1000, ErrorCode: 1861, ErrorMsg: [Oracle][ODBC][Ora]ORA-01861: literal does not match format string "

ScriptError General Error

I am not able to find any error in the log file.

Hi

you can using TRACE for output SQL statement ,copy result and run in Oracle Environment

like this

TRACE SQL TRANSACTIONDATE, FROM APPS.XXEGC_QV_SALES_PIPELINE_V Where TRANSACTIONDATE > '01-Jan-14'$(vIncrementalExpression) ;

I'd suggest looking at your vLast30Days variable. Is this being set up correctly? What value does it contain following the LET statement?

[vireshkolagimat]

vLast30Days=2017-7-31

[Anil_Babu_Samineni]

Could be issue here?

Date(TRANSACTIONDATE,'Your Format') as TransactionDate;

[Or]

That particular Oracle SQL message usually indicates you've attempted to format something as a date that Oracle can't format as a date. Double-check that the formatted dates you are sending the SQL via variables are formatted in the way Oracle expects them, either by replacing the dynamic date ranges with manual date inputs in the same format, or by loading the dynamic values into your regular script and checking the format.
