Best approach to publish new table or new column on existing table on MDW?

Hi,
I'm refering to Olite R3 without any patches. I don't use Java API, I use MDW.
if I have a new table or a new column on a existing table, what's the best approach to publish it?
I'm asking this because I've trying lots of approaches and the only solution was, step-by-step:
1) On MDW, drop the publication item
2) Add again the publication item
3) Associate the publication item to the publication
4) Save everything
5) File / Deploy (if I don't do it, it does not work)
6) Tools/Package... (that's where it's a problem: if I don't remove the app and create it again it does not work!)
7) on the client side, I perform a msync with "force refresh"
That's the only way I found to publish new items for sure. Any other action does not push the new table or new column to the client's embbeded DB.
Any comments?
Regards,
Maurício Américo Vernaschi.

I do not use MDW, rather a mix of java and the final publish step you use, but
Adding new PIs should be easy, just add them and re-publish (no need to drop anything)
for changes, if you just have new columns and the sql statement is 'select * from' then you should just need to make the changes in the base schema objects, and run the publish with no changes and the updates should be picked up. If selecting specific columns, then update and re-publish.
When using MDW at the end you can save the application as a jar file, and then use this jar file to publish in the mobile manager - this is the best wayto publish.
Have a look at this jar file in winzip, and you will find it contains a web.xml file. This is the xml definition of the publication items, and for simple changes it is possible to just edit this file and republish via the mobile manager

Best Approach to Compare Current Data to New Data in a Record.

Which is the best approach in comparing current data to new data for every single record before making updates?
What I have is a table with 5,000 records that need to be updated every week with data from a data feed, but I dont want to update every single record week after week. I want to update only records with different data.
I can think of these options:
1) two cursors (one for current data and one for new)
2) one cursor for new data and one varray for current data
3) one cursor for new data and a select into for current data.
Thanks for your help.

I don't recommend it over merge, but in theory you could use a checksum (OWA_OPT_LOCK.checksum()) on the rows and if they differ then copy the new row into the destination table. Or you might be able to use rowscn to see if things have changed.
Like I said, I don't know that I 'd take either approach over merge, but they are options.

Actually, rowscn between 2 tables may not be an option. I know you can turn a rowscn into a time value so if that rowscn is derived from anything but the column values for the row that would foil that approach.

Best approach for publishing a paid version and an ad supported free version of the same app

Hi,
One of my Windows 8 store app is almost ready for store submission.
What is the best approach for publishing a paid version and an ad supported free version of the same app.
Can I do the following
1. Submit the app with unlimited free trial to store
2. During the free trial ads will be displayed
3. If the user purchases the app, then the ad would not displayed
Any advise is greatly
appreciated.
Best Regards

Although the in-App purchase option is good but for ad based apps my approach is different.
I would suggest putting 2 different apps in the store, one free with Ads and one without. Reason being you want the extra reference and xaml ad controls depending upon how
many you have on the paid version of the apps. I would keep my apps as lighter and cleaner as possible specially when its a paid app.
I currently manage both free and paid app through one solution and reuse most of the code except for the views.

Adding a new Big INT column to existing table in production, which holds 700 million records will impact anything in production?

Hi Guys,
I have to add a new Big INT column to existing table in production, which holds 700 million records and would like to know the impact?
I have been tolled by one of my colleagues that last time they tried adding a column to same table during working hour and it locked out the table and impacted the users.
Please suggest/share If any one had similar experience.
Thanks Shiven:) If Answer is Helpful, Please Vote

If you add a new column to a table using an ALTER TABLE ADD command and specify that the new column allows NULLs and you do not define a default value, then it will take a table lock. However, once it gets the table lock, it will essentially run instantly
and then free the table lock. That will add this new column as the last column in the table, for example
ALTER MyTable ADD MyNewColumn bigint NULL;
But if you your change adds a new column with a default value, or you do something like using table designer to add the new column in the middle of the current list of columns, then SQL will have to rewrite the table. So it will get a table lock, rewrite
the whole table and then free the table lock. That will take a considerable amount of time and the table lock will be held for that whole period of time.
But, no matter how you make the change, if at all possible, I would not alter a table schema on a production database during working hours. Do it when nothing else is going on.

Best approach to delete records that are not in the source table anymore.

I have a situation where I need to remove records from dimensions that are not in the source data anymore. Right now we are not maintaing history, i.e. not using SCD but planning for the next release. If we did that it would be easy to figure the latest records. The load is nightly and records are updated and new added.
The approach that I am considering is to join the dimension tables the the sources on keys and delete what doesn't join. However, is there perhaps some function in OWB that would allow to do this automatically on import so it can be also in place for the future?
Thanks!

Bear in mind that deleting dimension records becomes problematic if you have facts attached to them. Just because this record is no longer in the active set doesn't mean that it wasn't used historically, and so have foreign key constraints on it in your database. IF this is the case, a short-term solution would be to add an expiry_date field to the dimension and update the load to set this value when the record disappears rather than to delete it.
And to do that, use the target dimension as a source table, outer join it to the actual source table on the natural key, and so your update will set expiry_date=nvl(expiry_date,sysdate) to set to sysdate if this record has not already been expired on all records where the outer join fails.
Further consideration: what do you do if the record is re-inserted into the source table? create a new dimension key? Or remove the expiry date?
But I will say that I am not a fan of deleting records in most circumstances. What do you do if you discover a calculation error and need to fix that and republish historical cubes? Without the historical data, you lose the ability to do things like that.

How add new field as primary key for existing table

Hi,
There is table with name REVIEWER_REUSE_EFFORT and the table has 8000 rows in it.
Now the enhacement i must do on this table is there is no primary key on this table. so i must create a ID also add values to this table of ID
Table structure is like this
Create table REVIEWER_REUSE_EFFORT
PRO_ID number,
POBJ_ID number,
TASK_ID number,
POTENTIAL_EFFORT number,
COMMENTS varchar2(1200),
CREATED_BY varchar2(100),
CREATION_DATE sysdate
UPDATED_BY varchar2(1200),
UPDATED_DATE sysdate
Please suggest me how to add values in that 8000 rows
Thanks
Sudhir

Hi,
If you want to add a new column and update the new column with sequence of number
alter table REVIEWER_REUSE_EFFORT add (ID number);

Specific Model not showing rows in a table in a column of a table

Hello,
Fairly simple issue here (I think):
I have a table bound to a global model and its rows bound to "/items"
I then have a column within that table which has a valuehelpfield that pops open a dialog with a table.
This tables rows inside the dialog are bound to a temp model. Now I know this temp model has the correct data and format and I do not get a "no data" messages when I bind it's rows to the node on the temp model, and to double check that I tried binding it to an incorrect node and it did say "no data" and I tripple checked by getting the jsonstring of the model and it's exactly how it should be.
Here is the code:
oTable.addColumn(new sap.ui.table.Column({
            label: new sap.ui.commons.Label({
                text: "Shop",
                required: true
            width: "200px",
            template: new sap.ui.commons.ValueHelpField({
            value:"{shopdesc}",
             valueHelpRequest: function(oEvent){
             var locModel = oTable.getModel();
             var rowContextPath = oEvent.getSource().getBindingContext().getPath();
             var oRowObj = oEvent.getSource().getBindingContext().getObject();
          var oDataOld = sap.ui.getCore().getModel().getData();
         var tempModel = new myJSONModel;
      tempModel.setData({
      shops: []
sap.ui.getCore().setModel(tempModel, "tempModel");
         tempModel = sap.ui.getCore().getModel('tempModel');
            d = tempModel.getData();
            arr = d.shops;
          var shops = oDataOld.shops;
             for (var i = 0; i < shops.length; i++) {
                 if (shops[i].area == oRowObj.area) {
                         arr.push(shops[i]);
             var oValueHelpDialog = new sap.ui.commons.Dialog(
                        { modal: true,
                            title: "Select a Shop",
                            closed: function (oEvent) {
                            var oContext = oTableJobs.getContextByIndex(oTableJobs.getSelectedIndex());
                            if (oContext) {
                           var oSel = oContext.getModel().getProperty(oContext.getPath());
                         locModel.setProperty(rowContextPath + "/shop", oSel["shop"]);
                         locModel.setProperty(rowContextPath + "/shopdesc", oSel["shopdesc"]);
             var oTableJobs = new sap.ui.table.Table({
                 visibleRowCount: 15,
                 firstVisibleRow: 1,
                 selectionMode: sap.ui.table.SelectionMode.Single,
                 width : "300px"
             var oOkButton = new sap.ui.commons.Button({
                 text: "OK",
                 press: function (oEvent) {
                   oEvent.getSource().getParent().close();
             oTableJobs.addColumn(new sap.ui.table.Column({
                 label: new sap.ui.commons.Label({text: "shop"}),
                 template: new sap.ui.commons.TextField().bindProperty("value", "shop"),

             var jsonString = tempModel.getJSON();
             alert(jsonString);
                 oTableJobs.bindRows("tempModel>/shops");

        var oModel = sap.ui.getCore().getModel();
        oTable.setModel(oModel);
        oTable.bindRows("/items");
Any help would be appreciated, I can't see what's wrong here, all seems fine to me! Thanks!

HI Bob
I briefly scan thru your code and spotted one common issue. When we are binding property, we need to include the model name. e.g.
template: new sap.ui.commons.TextField().bindProperty("value", "shop"),
should be
template: new sap.ui.commons.TextField().bindProperty("value", "tempModel>shop"),

Table partitioning (intervel partitioning) on existing tables in oracle 11g

Hi i'm newbie to table partitioning. I'm using 11g. I have table of size 32 gb (which has 22 million records) and i want to apply interval partition on that table. I created a empty table with a partition having columns same as source table and take dump of the source table and import into the new partition table. can you please suggest how to import table dump into new table? also is there any other better idea to do the same.

Hi,
imp user/password file=exp.dmp ignore=y
The ignore=y causes the import to skip the table creation and continues to load all rows.
On the other hand, you can insert data into the partitioned table with a subquery from the non-partitioned table such as follows;
insert into patitioned_table
select * from original_table;
Hope it helps,

Creating a table/temporary table joining two or three existing tables

Hi,
I want to perform a join on three tables and want that the result obtained should create a new table and get copied into it ?
More clearly, I m performing some joins on three tables.
I want that a new table(may be temporary) should be created that contains the column names and data of the result obtained after performing joins on the existing tables.
Plz help me as soon as possible.
Thanks

Hi,
The problem is not in performing join.
what the exact problem is that, a SELECT query is executed, and whatever the result is obtained, a new table should be created according to the result that table must be populated with that result.
In Oracle we do like this........
create table new_tablename as (select * from table1 left outer join table2 on (table1.id = table2.id))
But in DB2 this query doesnt work. So what can be the corresponding query for DB2 ?? This is exactly what I want to know.
Thanks

Add additional column in existing table

How to add columns for existing table dynamically?

Hi,
I created table structure only. I want to add columns for this existing table. Columns are not fixed, according to the user choice i need to write code.
Plz give me reply asap.
Thanks
Shirisha

Hi Shirisha,
I think the following code snippet will help you.
int l_no_cols = 0;
//Get the number of columns in this variable, something like the following
//l_no_cols = wdContext().currentContextElement().get<Context_attribute_name>;
IWDTable l_tab;
IWDTransparentContainer l_tbl_cont = (IWDTransparentContainer)view.getElement("TableDataCont");//ID of Container
l_tab = (IWDTable)view.getElement("TableData");//ID of Table
l_tab.setVisible(WDVisibility.VISIBLE);
l_tab.bindDataSource(wdContext.nodeTable_Data().getNodeInfo());
for(int a = 1; a <=l_no_cols; a++)
//Creating the column
IWDTableColumn l_tab_col = (IWDTableColumn)view.createElement(IWDTableColumn.class,"COL"+a);
//Creating Caption for Column Header
IWDCaption l_tab_cap = (IWDCaption)view.createElement(IWDCaption.class,"Caption"+a);
l_tab_cap.setText("Col"+i);
l_tab_col.setHeader(l_tab_cap);
//Creating Table Cell Editor for column
IWDInputField l_tab_cell = (IWDInputField)view.createElement(IWDInputField.class,"CellEditor"+a);
//creating context node attribute for the column dynamically
wdContext.nodeTable_Data().getNodeInfo().addAttribute("Col"+i,"com.sap.dictionary.String");
l_tab_cell.bindValue(wdContext.nodeTable_Data().getNodeInfo().getAttribute("Col"+i));
l_tab_col.setTableCellEditor(l_tab_cell);
l_tab.addColumn(l_tab_col);
l_tbl_cont.addChild(l_tab);

Create a new table style based on an existing table in a document

Hi,
In a document I'm working on, there is a specific table. It is made in the past by a colleague, and it has a very suitable format.
Therefore I would like to use the layout of this table on all future tables in my document (or even in others).
Is there an option to select my table, and create a new table style with it, so that I can use it over and over again? That would be very helpful.
I'm working in MS Word, MS Office Professional Plus 2010, on a Windows 7 64-bit OS.
Best regards, Sietske
Ps.: I know
a question like this was already asked, but the answer was quite dissatisfying (because it was not answering the question)
Pps: Note that I'm now creating a new table style from scratch, so an answer to the above question is not that urgent, but it would still be nice to know for future use.

you can use format painter
i hope that you already know about it.
Nope, not the right answer. With Format Painter, you can copy the format of the table, but you can't create a new Table Style with it. I am looking for a solution as well.

Can I create a new table using strcuture of another existing table ????

hello all -
If I need to create table as the duplicate table for another table. I donot need data from that table, as I am going to populate date later on.
So all need is the structure, constraints of the table to create a new table.
create table new_temp as
select * from old_temp;
above command creates a table with the data, what if I donot want the data, only the defination.
Any help woud really appreciated.
Thanks
Rama

but create table as select..
CAN'T create constraint on new table it copy only data
not constraint
so create new table with structure as well as
constraint use
SELECT dbms_metadata.get_ddl('TABLE','EMP') FROM DUAL;
only in 9i
