How can we convert CLOB datatype to string in OTBI Reports?

edited Aug 28, 2025 12:44PM in Reporting and Analytics for HCM 1 comment

Hello,

We are trying to remove HTML tags from a CLOB datatype column in OTBI report by using Substring and Replace function in the analysis. This is resulting us to get "ORA-00932: inconsistent datatypes: expected – got CLOB" error while running the analysis in dashboard.

We understand that this error is due to applying string functions to a CLOB type column. Is there any other way to remove HTML tags in an OTBI report for a CLOB datatype attribute?

Thanks,

Vaishnavi
