ODI Variable using SYSDATE - Issues comparing against EBS last_update_date
Hello All,
I followed the directions in the Oracle blog "Using Variables in ODI: The Timestamp Example". I created the variables and the package. My interface is trying to load incremental data from the source GL_JE_BATCHES table to my target table. I am comparing the last_update_date field in the GL_JE_BATCHES table to the LastUpdate variable. Using the standard variable build per the blog [Select sysdate from dual] I am receiving all kinds of errors. When I view the value in the variable I see 2009-12-23 [no quotes]. I have tried all kinds of to_char and to_date conversions on both the variable and the last_update_date fields. No matter what I've tried and Ican't make the variable work. Now I'm up against a deadline and I'm reaching out for some help! Hopefully someone else is working during the holidays!
Thanks!
Cheryl
