Primary/Unique key for GL_IMPORT_REFERENCES

Hi all,
We are on EBS11.5.10. I have the following requirement. I need to put a snapshot log on GL_IMPORT_REFERENCES which we will use to interface data to out reporting environment. Therefore i need to set a primary key on GL_IMPORT_REFERENCES, this is required for creating the snapshot log.
Can anyone suggest what combination of fields would be unique for this table, as no unique key is set.
TIA

mma,
but do you tie them in with ETL? or they're simply uniqe auto-number-like?
Thanks
I just found this:
http://datawarehouse.ittoolbox.com/groups/technical-functional/informatica-l/re-about-oracle-bi-and-fact-tables-and-image-tables-1515935
Looks like there's a new methodology for extending the DWH. I'm still looking into this, but I still think auto-numbering ROW_WID is a good idea.
Mma, perhaps - could you provide me with an example or two to present this change. Thanks

Normal Indexes created for Primary/Unique Keys in Oracle8/8i

I remeber prior to Oracle8, when we create a Primary/Unique Key constraints, an unique index will be created by default. But I am noticing now in 8/8i when we create either Primary or Unique key, only normal/simple index is created. We are not able to override this normal index either by dropping and recreating the index alone. I believe it would be pretty much better in case of performance if we have a unique index for this columns. Can anybody help why is it changed so in 8/8i??
Thanks,
R. M.

Dear Rob,
since your answer was helpful and since it was the only one I will grant you full points on that.
Thanks again for your input. In case other developers should look this thread up being confronted
with the same kind of problem, here is how we solved it:
We added an artificial primary key (a number of type NUMC 8) to the table which is supposed to
include the structure. This key alone takes care of the uniqueness of eacht entry.
All the others fields that we want to have available for a fast direct access, including the ones
from the included structure, are put together in a secondary index.
best regards
Andreas

Problem with unique key for Fiscal_T_Time dimension lookup

Hi,
In my mapping, I use Lookup on Fiscal_T_Time dimension provided by oracle. The validation gives me a warning,saying "VLD-1603:Lookup condition for key lookup Fiscal_T_Time does not contain a complete unique key". I'm using <source_group>.date as input and L_Day_day as lookup column, which is shown as I select the unique key from the drop down list. Both have type matches. The configuration on the dimension also shows the constraint of the unique Key. What can be wrong?

Continue my issue in another thread by Daming Wang on "More constraints need to add to Dimension". Thanks.

Detect the fields which are primary/foreign keys for each schema's tables

Hello everybody,
I'd like to know if it's possible to select a field in one of the dictionary tables to identify the fields of a table which are PK or FK in this one. I'd like to do this to generate the fields that I need to put in a technical design.
Actually I have this (if it can help you to understand what I'd like to do) :
select table_name "Table name",
column_name "Physical field name",
case when data_type = 'NUMBER' then data_type || '(' || NVL(data_precision,0) || ',' || NVL(data_scale,0) || ')'
when data_type = 'VARCHAR2' then data_type || '(' || data_length || ')'
else data_type
end "Datatype",
case when nullable = 'Y' then 'FALSE'
when nullable = 'N' then 'TRUE'
end "Not null",
/* Here I'd like to retrieve TRUE or FALSE if the field to display is a primary key or not and the same for foreign keys*/
from all_tab_columns
where table_name in (select table_name
from all_tables
where table_name like '%project_name%'
and table_name not like '%TMP%');
Thanks a lot for your help,
Florent

Unique key for Qualified tables

Hello Experts,
We are currently facing an issue with qualified tables. We need to retain existing system keys as below:
Item (Main table)
Item_Id, Item_Number
Item_Price (Qualified Table)
Item_Price_Id, Item_Id, Price_Type_Id, Price
E.g.
1, Pencil
2, Pen
3, Notepad
1, 1, Retail_Price, $10
2, 1, Wholesale_Price, $5
3, 2, Retail_Price, $15
4, 2, Wholesale_Price, $10
We need to migrate the existing ids (Item_Price_Id) in MDM qualified table and need to maintain the same as max(Item_Price_Id) + 1 for all future records.
Is there a way we can achieve this?
Your help is greatly appreciated.
Thanks in advance,
Vinay

Hi Karol,
The Interface Iprinciple has this function as it:
Gets the unique identifier which unambiguously identifies the object's principal type and principal's data record(s) in the data store (e.g. a relational database).
Note: the unique ID is a case sensitive string
Use this identifier to keep and persist references to principals. As this identifier contains internal information and is usually not readable, it should not be displayed in user interfaces.
UME implementation guarantees to return Strings which are not longer than 255 characters.
Returns:
a non-null String identifying this principal
I hope this helps you.

Problems Engineering Surrogate Primary Key with Unique Key

SDDM 3.3.0.747 with 2 problems (at least so far). I am hoping that the problem is with this SDDM rookie and I have overlooked some setting. PROBLEM 1 I don’t want to start a religious debate about surrogate vs. natural keys but I am having a problem engineering both correctly from the logical model. I am a rookie when it comes to SDDM but have many years of experience with Designer. By default I like to have both a natural UID (UK) and a surrogate key based primary UID (PK) which is used for foreign keys. The problem I am having with engineering is I can successfully engineer the surrogate PK’s, engineer the FK’s using the PK’s but cannot get the unique key to contain the surrogate keys in the child table. If I check the identifying property in the relations, the PK columns and the UK columns are included in the child PK and the UK contains no columns. The Setup I have defined two reference entities, PROBABILITY and SEVERITY with natural unique keys defined. I also have a child entity RISK_ASSESMENT with relationships back to the PROBABILITY and SEVERITY entities and both have the “Use surrogate keys:”: check box checked. The unique key for the RISK_ASSESMENT entity includes the relationships back to PROBILITY and SEVERITY. None of the entities have a PK or surrogate key defined and they all have the “Create Surrogate Key” check box checked. In addition the following preferences are set: Data Modeler/Model/Logical NOT Checked - Use And Set First Unique Key As Primary Key NOT Checked – Name – Keep as the name of the Originating attribute Checked – Entity Create Surrogate Key Checked – Relationship Use Surrogate Key PROBLEM 2 When the foreign key columns are engineered I want the names to have a prefix “FK_” but they don’t. Templates are set as follows: Data Modeler/Naming Standard/Templates Foreign Key: FK_{child}{parent} Column Foreign Key: FK_{ref column} Engineer to Relational Model/General Options Checked - Apply name translation Marcus Bacon

I have been switching between SD 4 EA1 and SDDM 3.3 trying to get things to work and trying out the template table for adding audit columns (really nice!).
Concerning Problem1. No matter what settings I use and whether I use SDDM 3.3 or SDI cannot get the FK columns to be included in the UK even though the relations are included in the UID in the entitty. When I open the properties of the child table and click on the naming standards button and click ok it complains that the UK is not complete. I add the FK columns to the UK and all is well including the naming standards.
Concerning Problem 2. Sometimes it engineers the names for FK's from the template and sometimes it doesn't. Didn't see a pattern. Gave up trying and used Naming Standards button. I still had to change a few.
The good new is, that after make changes needed in UK's and Column names of 18 tables, I know have everything deployed to Test except FK Indexes. I think I have to do those by hand.

What is this key for? What is it called?

I have searched and searched, on Google, Wiki etc. but there's no mention of this key, not even in the manual:
http://www.paulofierro.com/images/secondaryEnterKey.jpg
On my MacBook Pro, it is placed in the bottom, between the Apple-key and the left-arrow key (on the right of the space bar).
What is it's use? What is it called? And why is the symbol also on the enter-key?

On my MBP it doesn't have a symbol, but instead says "enter," and has the exact same functionality as the "enter/return" key.
It's there for using the numpad. If you hit "num lock," then use keys 7,8,9,u,i,o,j,k,l,m,. it turns into a numpad equivalent to what's on the right edge of desktop keyboards. Much like a desktop, while you're using the number subscripts on these keys, there's always an enter key at the bottom right edge (makes it easier for entering long sets of numbers).
Even without num lock on, this secondary enter key still functions just like the primary enter key for regular functions.

How shall we do validation for Unique Key and Multiple Primary Key?

Hi,
I have table created From EO in which one column is checked as Unique.
How to do validation for column checked as Unique.
I know how to do validation for column checked as primary key.
Below is sample code for primary key validation
if (getRvSize() != null)
throw new OAAttrValException(OAException.TYP_ENTITY_OBJECT,
getEntityDef().getFullName(), // EO name
getPrimaryKey(), // EO PK
"RvSize", // Attribute Name
value, // Attribute value
"AK", // Message product short name
"FWK_TBX_T_EMP_ID_NO_UPDATE"); // Message name
if (value != null)
OADBTransaction transaction = getOADBTransaction();
Object[] rvKey = {value};
EntityDefImpl rvDefinition = xxczVAGCSRVSizingEOImpl.getDefinitionObject();
xxczVAGCSRVSizingEOImpl rv =
(xxczVAGCSRVSizingEOImpl)rvDefinition.findByPrimaryKey(transaction, new Key(rvKey));
if (rv != null)
throw new OAAttrValException(OAException.TYP_ENTITY_OBJECT,
getEntityDef().getFullName(), // EO name
getPrimaryKey(), // EO PK
"RvSize", // Attribute Name
value, // Attribute value
"AK", // Message product short name
"FWK_TBX_T_EMP_ID_UNIQUE"); // Message name
What changes need to be done for above code in order to do the validation for Unique Key.
I have one more Question
How shall we do the Validation for Multiple Primary Key in a table?
- Mithun

1. If you just validate on one attribute like your unique key, then put your logic in the set<Your AttributeName) method
2. If you want to do the cross validation ( like validating multiple attributes) then put your logic in the validateEntrity Method
How to do that?
1. Create a Validation View object.
2. Associate your VVO to the VAM
3. Create entity expert.
4. Have method in entity expert for your validation (you would be calling AM and then VO execute the query and do the validation.
5. You would be calling the Entity experty method from your EO either setMethods or validateEntity.
I have given just the high level points.
Hope this helps.
Thanks,
RK

Cheers,
Sudhir reddy.

For your own sanity, you should learn to format your code, or use a tool to do it for you. For the sanity of the forum members, you should preserve that code using the \ tagsCREATE TABLE CUSTOMER
CUS_NUM NUMBER(10) PRIMARY KEY,
CUS_NAME VARCHAR2(50),
ADDRESS VARCHAR2(50)
CREATE TABLE ITEM
ITEM_NUM NUMBER(10),
ITEM_DESC VARCHAR2(50),
TYPE VARCHAR2(50),
TYPE is a reserved word. Call it ITEM_TYPEITEM_STATUS VARCHAR2(50),
CONSTRAINT PK_ITEM PRIMARY KEY(ITEM_NUM,TYPE)
CREATE TABLE ITEM_TYPE
TYPE VARCHAR2(50) PRIMARY KEY,
again, with the reserved word.TYPE_NAME VARCHAR2(50),
SKU VARCHAR2(50),
RATING VARCHAR2(50)
CREATE TABLE ORDERS
ORDER_NUMBER NUMBER(10),
be consistent. NUM or NUMBER. Pick one and stick with it.CUS_NUM NUMBER(10),
ITEM_NUM NUMBER(10),
ORDER_POINT VARCHAR2(50),
DISPATCH_POINT VARCHAR2(50),
PRIORITY VARCHAR2(50),
ORDER_STATUS VARCHAR2(50),
CONSTRAINT PK_ORDERS PRIMARY KEY(ORDER_NUMBER,ITEM_NUM),
CONSTRAINT FK1_ORDERS FOREIGN KEY (CUS_NUM) REFERENCES CUSTOMER(CUS_NUM),
CONSTRAINT FK2_ORDERS FOREIGN KEY (ITEM_NUM) REFERENCES ITEM(ITEM_NUM)

Any easy way to generate unique primary key for database table?

I'm currently playing with the J2EE reference implementation from Sun which comes with the IBM Cloudscape database. This Cloudscape database supports the use of an AutoIncrement field.
First question: Can I use CMP and assume that the database will generate a proper key for me? Anyone tried it out successfully before?
Also, based on what I've heard so far, it seems that generating database primary key is not really well-supported by J2EE using CMP in that a lot of J2EE developers have to resort to workarounds like using a session bean, JDBC and (1) some seed numbers for ID implanted in the database itself (as in the J2EE tutorial DukesBankApp example) or (2) using the SQL MAX aggregation command + 1. Usign seed number is contradictory to good database design and using MAX is dangerous for heavy traffic application if 2 beans try to insert themselves into the database at the same time (synchronizarion problem).
Anyway I find it dumb that we still have to go back to JDBC and SQL which was the reason why the concept Entity Bean was introduced; to make database persistence transparent! Now it seems that J2EE makes it worse and more troublesome than before.
Second Question: Is there any easy (hopefully transparent/automatic) way of generating primary key ID?

if you want to rely on your container or database then go hard, will probably be faster.
to make a cross container/db soln I used a CMP Entity bean called Sequence with one field for uid
I use one instance and increment the field each time.
To do the logic, I have a utils class with static method, no need for session bean overhead
I reckon this approach is OK considering all things

How to create one primary key for each vendor

Hi all
i am doing IDOC to jdbc scenario
i am triggering idoc from R/3 and the data is going into DB table vendor through XI.
structures are as follows:
sender side: ZVendorIdoc (this is a customized IDOC , if i triger IDOC for multiple vendors then it triggers only 1 idoc with multiple segment )
Receiver side:
DT_testVendor
    Table
        tblVendor
            action UPDATE_INSERT
            access                     1:unbounded
                cVendorName         1
                cVendorCode        1
                fromdate                1
                todate                    1
             Key1
                cVendorName         1
if i trigger idoc for multiple vendors ,for example vendor 2005,2006 and 2010 . then i can see that the only key comes from the very first field (2005) and the whole record for vendor 2005,2006 and 2010 goes into the table with this(2005) as a primary key
now again if i send data for these three vendor 2005, 2006 , 2010, in which record for the vendor 2005 is same and for 2006 and 2010 are different than it takes 2005 as a primary key and it does not update the data in the table.
my requirement is like this:   for each vendor there should be one unique key assigned.
                                          for above said example there should come three keys one for each vendor .
could you please help me how to do this???????????

Hi,
In Mapping Make the statement is 0-unbounded.For each vendor create a statement.This will solve your problem.

Diff b/w primary key and unique key?

what is the diff b/w primary key and unique key?

Hi,
With respect to functionality both are same.
But in ABAP we only have Primary key for the Database tables declared in the Data Dictionary.
Unique is generally is the term used with declaring key's for internal tables.
Both primary and Unique keys can identify one record of a table.

If the value for clustering factor approaches the number of blocks in the base table, then the index is said to be clustered. http://www.oracle.com/pls/db112/search?remark=quick_search&word=clustered+index
There is no create clustered index in Oracle.
- Clustering factor affects the efficiency of an index.
- There can be clustered tables that you can create indexes on.
- An Index Organized table is a similar concept to the Microsoft SQL Server clustered index, but it isn't the same thing at all.
