BPM Naming Standards

I am working on a project that is just beginning to use ALBPM. The project is in the planning phase now and moving quickly into the design phase. The ALBPM installation is a newer technology for the company. What I am looking for is any standards or best practices around naming. Are there any recommendations or reference documents?
Thanks in advance

Hi,
You can also refer to the ALBPM User manual ([url http://edocs.bea.com/albsi/docs60/studio/index.html]http://edocs.bea.com/albsi/docs60/studio/index.html). Refer to the section Process Business Language > Programming > Code Conventions
A similar user manual is present for v5.7 also

How to set naming standards for SQL Developer

I am using SQL Developer version 3.0.04.
In the newly integrated and very useful Data Modeler, we can set preferences for the naming standards to be applied when creating logical and relational model objects ( primary keys, foreign keys, et cetera). I would like to know if there is a way to set naming standards for the relational objects we create in SQL Developer on existing tables ( ( primary keys, foreign keys, et cetera).
Any help in setting such preferences would be appreciated.

Hi,
If you want to set up a diagram for an existing database, you can use File/Data Modeler/Import/Data Dictionary to import its definitions.
Alternatively you can open a Data Modeler Browser (using View/Data Modeler/Browser), expand the node for Design "Untitled_1",
expand the node for Relational Models, and select Show from the Right-click drop-down menu for "Relational_1" to create a Relational Model diagram.
You can then drag Tables from SQL Developer's Connections tree onto the diagram.
Once you have a Relational Model you can reverse engineer it to an Entity-Relationship model using the << button in the button bar
(or by selecting "Engineer to Logical Model" from the drop-down menu for the Relational Model).
Note that there is now a separate forum for SQL Developer Data Modeler topics: SQL Developer Data Modeler

Problem with Applying Naming Standards to Keys and Constraints

Hi
I have an issue, and not sure where to go. I have 3 relational models in 1 design. I set up my foreign key template. I applied it to the first relational model, and it worked like a charm. When I bring up the "Apply Naming Standards" window for the second model and click on OK, nothing happens. The window just stays there and the OK button turns gray. I checked the log, but no messages are written. I just have to click on cancel to close the window. Has anyone got any suggestions on what to do? I even went back in and changed a table name to make sure that a foreign key name should change, and still nothing happens.

Hi Joep,
thanks for design. I logged bug for that problem - some FK columns keep information about non existent foreign keys.
Here is a transformation script you can run for relational model:
columns = model.getColumnSet().toArray();
for (var t = 0; t<columns.length;t++){
column = columns[t];
nodes = column.getRefColAndAssocIDs().toArray();
for (var i = 0;i<nodes.length;i++){
node = nodes;
if(node.fkAssocId!=null){
fk = column.getDesign().getDesignObject(node.fkAssocId);
if(fk==null){
column.removeFKAssociation(node.fkAssocId);
column.setDirty(true);
And of course you have to save design - it's better to use "save as".

Naming Standards: What are you using?

I'd like to hear what different organizations are using for naming standards to manage their XI environment.
When you have a new interface or need to call up an existing interface, how do you know where to find them?
Do you break out your interfaces by Sender SC, XI SC and receiver SC?
How do you organize namespaces?

Hi Mark,
Well, The name space itself it means that it used for unique identifier.Normally in realtime business cases lot of process would be involved..when you are developing the interface and when you start up with namespace..The name space should give you the what exactly the scenario..for which type of scenarios..
Let me take an example suppose if u are implementing the all sales order scenario you can probably implement a name space such that it should reflect the all sales order related objects.
<b>Ex: http://xyzcompany.com./salesorders</b>
The above namespace tell you that the vendor is xyzcompany and the corresponding objects of slaes orders.
Hope I am clear.
Thanks and Regards,
Chandu.

DataModeler v3.3.0 - Naming standards template for surrogate keys creation

I'm using DM 3.3.0.734 and in the logical model we now can define in the entity properties to "Create Surrogate Key".
When we use Engineer to relational model, for each entity is automatically created a new column using the naming template {entity}_ID as NUMERIC (without precision) and is defined as primary key.
My questions are:
Is possible to define a different naming standard for surrogate key creation?. We define id_{entiry}
Is possible to set the precision of NUMERIC surrogate key?
If we define entity's column as Primary UID, these columns are included in an unique constraint, but are using the naming standards for PK.
As consequence are created the following:
Unique constraint name: entity_PK
Primary key(surrogate)name: entity_PKv1
There is any way to define naming standards like "{entity}_UID" for unique constraints, or even, "{entity}_SK" for surrogate primary key name?
Can anyone help with some of these topics?
Regards,
Ariel.

Hi Ariel,
Naming standards template for surrogate keys creation I logged enhancement request for that.
How to change those bad names (going to change them one by one is not an option):
1) If those "transformed" unique keys are the only ones you have in relational model then simply can apply naming standards
2) You can write transformation script to do that for you
3) you can use new functionality - search, export to excel file, change the names there (using find/replace will be faster) and return changed data back to relational model
you can find description for that here:
https://apex.oracle.com/pls/apex/f?p=44785:24:13179871410726::NO:24:P24_CONTENT_ID,P24_PREV_PAGE:6621,16

http://www.thatjeffsmith.com/archive/2012/11/sql-developer-data-modeler-v3-3-early-adopter-collaborative-design-via-excel/
You should search for _PK, then filter result on Index and you can export result using report functionality (to XLS or XLSX output format). You can create template and include only table and name (of index) as properties to be included into report.

Sql Developer Data Modeler 3.0 EA1: Preference- Naming standard- Templates

I am trying to figure out how the naming standard templates work.
When I go to:
Preference -> Naming standard -> Templates
It says that 'Attribute Relation' is '{ref entity} {ref attribute}'
What is the consequence of this?
I thought, it would mean that when creating a primary key attribute (ID) on an entity (DEPARTMENT), the related "foreign key" attribute (that is automatically created in related detail entities, such as EMPLOYEES) would be named DEPARTMENT ID.
Instead it is just called ID. Is that the intended behavior?

Edited by: marc66 on 2010-10-29 05:59

Marc,
you should check "FK Attribute name synchronization" setting in "Preferences>Data Modeler>Model>Logical model" - probably it's checked and you cannot change the name of FK attribute.
I found another bug here - FK attribute doesn't follow changes in referred entity - I logged it in bug database. As workaround you can apply defined templates at entity level (there is button in entity dialog) or for whole logical model (using pop-up menu in the browser).

How to set naming standards templates

I'm currently working with oracle sddm 4.0.0.833 and i'd like to change settings for objects like identifiant : emp_pk instead of employee_pk.
In Sue Harper's book sqldeveloper 2.1, there's a menu naming standard. I cannot find it in my version!
jm

Hi,
First find the node in the Browser for your Design (it's the node above "Logical Model") and then display its Properties dialog.
In its left-hand panel, expand the Settings node. Then expand the Naming Standard node, and you can select the Templates node to display the Template options.

Data Modeler - applying naming standards to relational model

Hi,
first of all thanks for the new data modeler build (584) - it really fixed some issues (e.g. unique keys with non mandatory referenced ids are now persistent) ...
BUT ... why is there an option to disable foreign key names when applying naming rule although it does not work?
I like my primary key names etc. to follow some naming rules, but I don't like foreign keys to follow rules, just because neither "Benutzer_Id3" follows the company internal naming rules nor is it very easy to understand at all.
Steps taken:
* logical model is complete
* generate relational model
* foreign key names are as intended (e.g. "User_Id_Modifier")
* right click the relational model
* click "Apply Naming Standards ..."
* remove the check mark from "Column Foreign Key"
* click "OK"
The foreign key column is changed regardless of checkbox state :-( - even deselecting all check boxes still applies naming rules to the foreign key columns.
Is there a fix/workaround for that or need I to go back to build 570?
Thanks god I still have my 570 compatible model ins SVN
regards stueckl

Hi,
unfortunately that functionality for all tables in relational model is broken - you still can use it at table level - "Naming rules" button in table dialog.

NAMING STANDARDS FOR WEB DYNPRO ABAP

Hi All,
Do we need to follow any naming standards in WebDynpro ABAP, could you please send some documents or any links for Naming Standards .
Thanks,
Raju.

Hi Raju,
This is a very good question which we cant answer as we are not working in your company.
Well, the naming conventions standards vary based on different company Standards. So the best I could say is, check out your company Standards documents to get to understand the Naming Convention standards.

Hi AD,
You can try something like this.
Layout Sets:
Layout sets may have names up to 30 characters in length, using the format
Zx(2-30)
Example: ZNEWLAYOUT New layout is the layout set name.
If you copy a standard layout set, insert a Z as the first character .If the standard layout set already has 30 characters replace the first character with Z.
Styles:
Style may have names up to 30 characters in length, using the format
Zx(2-30).
Example: ZSTYLE.
If you copy a standard layout set, insert a Z as the first character .If the standard layout set already has 30 characters replace the first character with Z.
Standard Text IDs:
Standard text IDs may have name up to 4 characters in length using the format
Znnn.
Example: ZTXH.
If you copy a standard layout set, insert a Z as the first character .If the standard layout set already has 4 characters replace the first character with Z.
Standard Text Names:
Standard text names may have names up to 32 characters in length using the format Zx(2-32).
Example: ZSTANDARDTEXT.
If you copy a SAP standard text name, insert a Z as the first character .If the SAP standard text name set already has 32 characters replace the first character with Z.

Logical Model Naming Standard (Title Case) and Foward ENGINEERING how to???

Hi,
I just installed the datamodeler v3.3.0.747.
I want to use the Title Case style as separator style in my logic Model... To do this, i go to the Preferences Settings (Tools > Preferences > Naming Starndard > Logic Model) and set the Title Case as separator Style...
However, when i do foward engineering of the logical model... The Style is omitted and everything is like the logical model... For example,
If i create an entity called: ManagedAccount, i will expected that when i do fwd enginnering, the table associated to that entity will be call as Managed_Account; However, i still getting ManagedAccount...
So, What am i doing wrong??? or this is a bug???
Thanks!

Hi,
in order to get it working in current release you need to create glossary even empty one and set its property "Incomplete Modifiers" to true (check the check box with that name), and to to add that glossary in "Tools>Preferences>Data Modeler>Naming Standard".
We'll change it in next release to work without glossary for this particular case.

Channel and Dist naming standards

I'd like to solicit any advice on naming standards for Channels and
Distributions. We are in our design phase and looking to put standards
in place that could easily scale to a larger entity if necessary.
Thank you,
Dave

very hard to do that in a short time.. for channels
1) figure out what you want to patch / install / do
2) figure out which kind of services you have you want to do 1) with
3) figure out which kind of hardware / os you are running 2) on
4) figure out which locations have different requirements to 1) to 3)
5) think about having an at least 2 phase approach, better 3 to rollout
distributions, 2 phase = testing and rollout, 3 phase = testing, initial
rollout, final rollout
for example...
some people would like to patch their webservers... so you create a
webserver channel... but perhaps not all of them have to same content... so
you create another channel for every content
some people would like to use ZDM application distribution so they create
an app channell... but than they figure out they would like to do
loadbalancing in a site so you need one channel for every site...
some people would like to patch their nw server... but it is not a good
idea to rollout the patch to all servers at the same time... so you create
a channel to test the patch, one channel to do a initial install on a
average of you server environment, and another one for the rest of the
servers..
and so on ;-)
best way is to really play around with the product first to find the
limitations to your ideas and after that good planning.
if you put 1 to 5 into the channelname the channels should scale very well
distribution naming is similar
