Adventure works database sample question

Dear all,
I need to build a database structure for a shop which is actually selling home furniture and I have seen that quite many table from the AW database could fit my scenario but I have some points that I do not catch in that sample.
If anyone could light my brain I will appreciate.
1- First of all in many tables I can see a reference to a BusinessEntityID but could find any table where BusinessEntity is define ?
2- In my scenario my company will have full control on the database and will resell the software to shops. Shops can be a single shop of belonging to a HeadOffice which is the owner of those shops. The following picture illustrate this
- Shops Owner 1 to 3 are customers of My COMPANY
- Shop 1 to Shop 3 are customers of respective ShopOwner
How can I define and identify those entity in AW sample database ?
Thnaks for help
regards

So does a BusinessEntiy is nothing else than a CUSTOMER in fact ?
IN orther word does each of my blue box in my picture is a BusinessEntity = a Customer?
May be it is just a matter of naming but need to catch it correctly :-)
Hi wakefun,
A business entity is a person or business which has zero or more addresses and zero or more people related to it. For example, the people related to a store would typically be purchasing agents of a retail sporting or bicycle store who buy bicycles wholesale
from AdventureWorks Cycles. A person related to an employee might be the employee’s emergency contact.
In AdventureWorks2008R2 and 2012, the concept of a customer has also been broadened, a customer can be any person or a store. This enables employees (for example) to be customers without storing redundant information about them.
For more information about BusinessEntity tables in AdventureWorks2008R2, you can review the following post.

Adventure Works STORE sample table question

Dear all,
I am actually studing the database structure of the AW sample database, which is quite close to one of my current project architecture.
I have seen in this sample database that the CUSTOMER table seems to be used to identify either a STORE of a physical Person through the PersonID column.
My question is that if we define a STORE information from that sample databse where can we find the address, tel, ... of the STORE ?
Does those information for a store is actually not in that sample or do we consider that there is at least a contact person for a defined STORE and the address and telephone of that physical primary contact person identify also the STORE contact info ?
Thanks for clarification
regards

Hi,
You can use the following query to achieve the version of SQL Server.
Select @@version
As the previous comments, you can either upgrade to SQL Server 2012 or attach the AdventureWorks2008 database in the link which KevinNicholas provided.

BIBeans on WinNT - killer of previously working OLAP samples?

I installed JDeveloper 9i RC and BiBeans RC. I applied all the latest OLAP patches and started working on BiBeans tutorial. I installed the demo database bibdemo schema and started creating OLAP connection required by Designer wizard. As other people already posted, the connection won't work until upcoming OLAP Patch for WinNT/2000.
So I tried to go back to my previously working OLAP samples (generated from OLN OLAP API Fundamentals class) and noticed that they didn't work any more.
Here is the output of the sample program:
**** Obtained CORBA stub for /etc/OLAPServer/OLAPServer1 ****
**** OLAP Services connection start ****
**** OLAP Services connection made ****
*** Metadata provider created ***
Exception in thread main
oracle.express.mdm.MetadataNotFoundException
     java.lang.String oracle.express.mdm.MetadataPropertyBag.getStringPropertyValue(java.lang.String)
     oracle.express.mdm.MdmObject oracle.express.mdm.MdmObjectFactory.createMdmObject(java.lang.String, oracle.express.mdm.MetadataPropertyBag, oracle.express.mdm.MdmMetadataProvider, oracle.olapi.data.source.DataProvider)
     oracle.express.mdm.MdmObject oracle.express.mdm.MdmMetadataProvider.getMetadataObject(java.lang.String)
     oracle.express.mdm.MdmSchema oracle.express.mdm.MdmMetadataProvider.getRootSchema()
     void oracle.practices.OLAPPractices.execute(java.lang.String[])
     void oracle.practices.OLAPPractices.main(java.lang.String[])
Process exited with exit code 1.
The line that generates the exception is:
MdmSchema root = mdp.getRootSchema();
I noticed that installing BIBDEMO sample schema removed the old SH measures and cubes. I tried changing the user/pwd from SH to BIBDEMO and got the same error.
What's causing the problem. Can I easily undo the BIBDEMO changes and make the OLAP API samples work again. Or am I stuck waiting for the upcoming OLAP Patch?
/Stan

Hi Stan
Can you tell us exactly what you did?
What versions of the Beans and Oracle9i OLAP did you have first?
What version of the OLAP patch did you install?
What OS are you using? I initially installed Oracle 9i Database for MS Windows NT/2000 from CD-ROM (version 9.0.1). I have also installed JDeveloper 3.2.3 from an accompanying CD-ROM. I don't remember if BI Beans existed in that release, probably not.
Then I downloaded JDeveloper 9i RC and BIBeans AddIn for JDeveloper. I installed the following patches:
- Oracle9i Patch Set Version 9.0.1.2.0,
- Oracle OLAP Release 1 Patch Set Version 9.0.1.1.1,
- Oracle OLAP Best Practices for Cube Aggregation and Query Operations Release 1 (9.0.1) for Windows and UNIX, Part Number A92122-01,
- XADEMO.BAT for Oracle OLAP.
I'm using Windows NT 4 with SP 6a.
I have also re-installed the SH_CAT schema as you suggested in the other note, but that didn't make the problem go away. I'm still getting MetadataNotFoundException when calling mdp.getRootSchema().

Sample questions

Hi Harold and Brian
I would like to know if it is possible to use your samples questions (i.e. http://www.oracle.com/global/us/education/certification/sample_questions/exam_1Z0_046.html) in my next official publications. Would like also to know if we can just write a book about a Oracle certification or shall we also ask Oracle before the book hits the streets?
Who shall I ask before using those questions please? What kind of authorization shall I request?
Thanks.
Regards,
Hub

Hi Aman
Thanks for your question, it is about the Oracle under Linux OCE? I'm working hard to get the chapters written in a new format with Q&A, exercices. Hopefully will be printed next year, after I delivery all the 15 chapters.
unfortunately my co-author was supposed to furnish some chapters dropped the project (besides that he didn't wrote a word for that book) so therefore will the writing / editing take longer time than expected.
I'll keep you informed.

Hub

CRM certification sample questions

Hi
If anybody has done the CRM ,can you please provide some guidance regarding some sample questions
Thanks
Jaya

Questions are not available. If you want guidance here it is.
Clearing the certification is drectly proportional to your capability of mugging up and remembering the stuff.
Questions are asked only from the corresponding manuals. So read every line. Dont skip anything.
Reading the manual 8 times or more should help you sail smoothly thru the certificaiton exam without any thunderstorms.
Menu paths are generally not asked. Same for transaction codes. However try to memorize the commonly used transaction codes and menu paths.
Preparation method: mug up the whole manual. Practical work exp. is not at all required. (something strange abt the certfs)
hope this helps

Sample Questions of SAP MI Certification Exam

Hi Friends,
I am appearing for the SAP Certification Exam in MI.
I am not sure what kind of questions SAP is going to ask in the exam, because inspite of searching at so many places (SAP sites), I have not got even a single question to have an idea.
I think somebody of you must have appeared for certification exam or have some source for getting sample questions,
Please revert with some useful information....
Thanks,
Deepak

Hi Deepak,
I did not attend any MI certifications but can suggest you a few.
As people working on MI are very few,we need to wait and see untill the TechEd completes.
Any how from my exp working on MI for 1 year, i can suggest few things from MIddleware and backend.
1)Types of syncbo's(TO1,SO1,UO1,T51)(importance of these),unit testing syncbos(emulator),how we assign/unassign applications on our MI client using NWA,types of bapis,how we upload application to nwa.
2) Client side...wat are the general APIs we need to use(Ex:to getlist of records, modify record from client, to sync etc we use specific APIs)(Need to know what all APIs to use.
3) How to generate mobile ID using Merep_pd
4) MI supports on what platforms.
5) All MI features like (Replication,cascade download, cascade delete,filtering,multilanguage feature etc)
6)Smartsync tools as wella s generic sync related Questions
May be end to end work flow of MI will work(Create record from client and sync, check in worklist monitor and in Middleware and backend)
These are all very specific and basics of MI.
I heard SAP certifications are not going to be very easy.
So all the best for certification.
Hope this basic info helps you.
Thanks,
Karthick
