Business meta data management

Hello,
I could not find a way to capture business related meta data inside OWB, or I am missing something. I need to capture, business rules, validation , defintions etc inside the OWB. Could someone point me to the righ direction and steps.
Thanks
Syed

Hi Syed,
I think the way to model business rules today in very much related to the PL/SQL implementation, however it is very possible to add special fields in your repository that allow you to link to documents, urls and other things. The same will go for the browser where you can link to pages outside of the OWB content.
To create a user defined property you can take a look at:
http://otn.oracle.com/products/warehouse/sdk/Scripting%20Pages/Scripting_5_meta_meta.htm
There it is described how you can create a user defined property where you can add the links or document links I mentioned.
The release we are working on right now will have some very interesting features for you, but that is a few months out...
Thanks,
Jean-Pierre

Script to Stop and Start Oracle Meter Data Management

Hi,
This is my first post in Oracle forums so if i open this in the wrong thread please forgive me.
I tried to create a windows batch script to stop and start Oracle Meter Data Management but i can´t.
@echo off
D:\spl\MDMDEV\bin\splenviron.cmd -e MDMDEV
D:\spl\MDMDEV\bin\spl.cmd stop
D:\spl\MDMDEV\bin\splenviron.cmd -e MDMDEV
D:\spl\MDMDEV\bin\spl.cmd stop
The batch exits in the first command and i can´t understand why.
Another thing is if i use spl.cmd stop command it doesn´t do nothing, is this normal?
Thanks in advanced for all replies.
Best Regards.
Nuno

I had to put a call command in mine. I think it is because you are trying to run a .cmd file within your bat file. You're actually changing shells. Thats why you need the call.
call d:\spl\mdmdev\bin\splenviron.cmd -e mdmdev
call d:\spl\mdmdev\bin\spl.cmd start
I actually set mine up to use variables so all I had to change from script to script was the environment...
<snip>
SET SPLENV=MDMDEV
SET INSTALLDRIVE=D:
SET INSTALLDIR=SPL
SET BINDIR=%INSTALLDRIVE%\%INSTALLDIR%\%SPLENV%\bin
%INSTALLDRIVE%
cd %BINDIR%
REM Set envornment
call %BINDIR%\splenviron.cmd -e %SPLENV%
REM Wait a few seconds for environment to setup
ping localhost -n 5 > nul
REM Start SPL Web
call %BINDIR%\spl.cmd start
</snip>
I was unable to find a way to get this to run as a service. Have you?
I'm currently running these scripts in the startup/shutdown script section of the local machine policy (gpedit.msc).

Integration Oracle Utilities CC&B w/ non-Oracle bespoke Meter Data Management system

Hello all,
In your opinion, what's the best way to integrate a bespoke (non-Oracle) Meter Data Management system with Oracle CC&B 2.3.1 or 2.4?
I came up with a few possible scenarios and would love to hear your opinion:
1. Use CC&B Meter Read upload (MUP) batch process to upload reads from our bespoke Meter Data system.
2. The bespoke Meter Data Management system adds Meter Reads to CC&B using a CC&B Inbound Service.
3. At Billing time, CC&B invokes a Get Consumption Algorithm (invoked before the Bill Segment Creation Algorithm) which is responsible for requesting the reads from our bespoke Meter Data Management system.
This is the approach used by the Oracle CC&B-Oracle MDM integration when it comes to Usage requests/transactions.
4. Any other idea? Feel free to share.
Thanks

CC&B and Meter Data Management Integration Usage Requests

Hello.
We investigating the following issue: Trying to create a Bill in CC&B with getting usage data from Meter Data Management using Usage Requests engine. Help pages of CC&B describe the big picture of Usage Requests and configuration overview. So this information is not enough for correct and complete adjustments. There is no any information about outbound and inbound XML messages formats.
CC&B help contains link to the document: Oracle Utilities Customer Care and Billing - Meter Data Management Integration Implementation Guide, but our attempts of searching of this document was ineffectual.
It's interesting to get any information about Usage Requests from CC&B to Meter Data Management or link to the document mentioned above.
Thanks in advance!
P.S. Our current setup of Usage Request gives the next log during bill segment generation (we are using jms queues and xsl transformation of outbound and inbound messages. So MDM sends a response, but something wrong in further processing on CC&B side). As a result we get a bill segment in Error state with remark "Usage Request for Bill Segment is not found.".

Oracle Meter Data Management Integration with SAP ISU

Hello Everyone,
I am aware of the fact that Oracle has released a Media pack for the subject integration as discussed here and that media pack works only for SAP ERP 6.0 EHP 5 with ISU_AMI_2.
We have got OU MDM Release 2.1 Media Pack v4 and SAP ERP 6.0 EHP 4 with ISU_AMI_1 and hence Adapter in MDM won't help to achieve integration with SAP as our SAP EHP is lower than what is required for the MDM adapter. We have got SAP PI which would help the SAP End in the integration.
What are the possible work-around(s) to achieve the integration between Oracle MDM and SAP ISU without using the Media Pack/Adapter?
How does MDM exposes its services (inbound/outbound) to be consumed/triggered by External systems (i.e. SAP ISU)?
List of Services (inbound/outbound) exposed by Oracle MDM for integration?
Your time and help is much appreciated.
Regards,
Adil Khalil

Maximum IMD size that can be processed by Meter Data Management v2.x

Does anyone know the maximum IMD size that MDM 2.x can process? I was trying to process an MV90 Interval IMD with 15 minute cuts for a period of 6 months (trying to load historical usage in one go). MDM is timing out and failing to process the IMD. The IMD has been created and is failing when I am trying to do Additional Processing (with just a dummy VEE group so no 'real' validation is happening).

You have to options:
1. The router that is internal must have a static route to the ASA to reach the VPN networks and must have a distribute static so that other routers that form part of EIGRP know how to route to the VPN networks.
2. You can configure on the ASA "set reverse-route" on the crypto map then configure EIGRP on the ASA and add redistribute static so that routes learned via VPN (considered static routes) can be pushed through EIGRP.

Meta data and data asset management

I am looking for suggestions and or products that can support managing our footage.
Our goal is for an editor to search for a clip using the data entered in the “description” (metadata) field of clips and sub-clips that have been logged in various projects.
Here is the outline.
We record clips of high def footage and we import batches of these clips; sometimes a few dozen, and sometimes thousands. We bring these batches into a Premiere Pro CS5 project by importing the video clips from within a P2 card folder structure, or avchd, or dslr footage or ??/any format we collect...
We log a description of the clips and of sub-clips, and then we edit a film from those elements. After 1 project, or after 50 projects, we have all the detailed description (metadata) we've entered about each clip and sub-clip captured, and this data lives within the CS5 project. We can only search it from within the original project.
If we start a new project and we need to look back at footage from old projects, we can only search for footage by going into that old project . We would like to have the metadata write back to our archive (or a copy of the footage in a new archive.) If the archive and the clips and sub-clips had the metadata from the project we could search and find assets. Among the obstacles is that sub-clips share the name of the clip it comes from so there is no “place” for it’s metadata. We've tried using Project Manager>Collect Files & Copy to New Location but the subclip .mxf files created through this process are copies of the source clip despite being labeded "random.subclip001". When imported, this "random.subclip001" file shows up in Premiere as the original "random" source clip name.
We are looking at a small library – but it’s big for us. About 20 terabytes… A typical client might have 4-6 terabytes of assets we would like to look through for a shot, or an interview… Has anyone made inroads on this?
Many thanks for any thoughts and ideas.
Sincerely,
Rees Candee

Hi Abhilash,
Meta Data-
In BW the meta-data contain data about data.
It is like having information about the information.
You have the business related meta-data for example the description used in your reports or the technical related meta-data for example the rules used in the transformation or the extraction. These are the two types of meta-data you have in the metadata repository that you manage with the metadata manager
http://help.sap.com/saphelp_nw04/helpdata/en/80/1a6197e07211d2acb80000e829fbfe/content.htm
Meta Data Repository
It is the repository which Manages Meta Data, for example like when talking about an ODS in the metadatarepository you can read about which characteristics, key figures, infosource and updaterules are used in it. And creation date, owner etc.
Thanks,
Sudhakar

I managed to transfer the music from 1 pc to 1 other pc (to be played by iTunes). Bit didn't fixe the transfer of the meta data (for example the rating). Does anyone know how to use your old playlists, etc..(= meta data) on the other PC? So, please help!

I managed to transfer the music from 1 pc to 1 other pc (it is played perfectly on the other PC (Windows 7- pc) by the newly downloaded and installed iTunes, version 10.6.1.7). But I didn’t fix the transfer of the meta data (for example the rating). Does anyone know how to use (or import) your old playlists, etc..(= meta data) on the other PC? So, short: how to migrate the meta data from one pc to an other pc?
It's a pity that it seems not to be possible to import on the new pc e.g. the ratings!!!
I don't want to start again with rating my (beautiful classical) music!
Thanks, from Amsterdam, NL

If so, perhaps try the instructions from the following post:

BW meta data repositary - toolset

Hi,
I would like to suggest a toolset for our users to search on the various KPI's, Formulas, InfoObjects available in BW currently. This should be an easy search - without much need of any training.
Can you suggest any toolset? Can Information Steward be used? Has anyone used it before for creating such a meta data repository.
Please suggest.
Thanks,
Purbali

The Metadata Management module of Information Steward is the recommended tool for your needs. Section "3.3 SAP NetWeaver Business Warehouse Metadata" of the SAP Information Steward User Guide gives an exhaustive description of related features and functionality. Happy reading!

Meta data,Transaction data and Master data

Hi all,
Could you plz make me clear exactly wht does Meta data,Transaction data and Master data mean and the differences

Hi Ganesh,
<b>MASTER Data</b> is the data that exists in the organization like employee details, material master, customer master, vendor master etc. These are generally created once.
Master data are distributed throughout the company, they are often not standardised and often redundant. As a result it is very costly to offer efficient customer service, keep track of supply chains and make strategic decisions. With SAP Master Data Management (SAP MDM) these important business data from across the company can be brought together, harmonised and made accessible to all staff and business partners. As a key component of SAP NetWeaver, SAP MDM ensures data integrity via all IT systems.
Regardless of the industry, companies often work with different ERP and Legacy systems. The result: the business processes are based on information about customers, partners and products which is displayed in different ways in the systems. If the data are recorded manually, there are more inconsistencies: some data sets are entered several times, others cannot be retrieved by all divisions of the company.
As corporate applications are becoming increasingly complex and produce ever greater amounts of data, the problem is intensified further. Nevertheless, your employees must work with the inconsistent data and make decisions on this basis. The lack of standardised master data easily leads to wrong decisions, which restrict efficiency and threaten customer satisfaction and profitability.
In a word: in order to save costs and ensure your companys success it is necessary to consolidate master data about customers, partners and products, make them available to all employees beyond system boundaries and use attributes valid company-wide for the purpose of description.
<b>TRASNACTION Data</b> - These are the business documents that you create using the master data - Purchase orders, sales orders etc

Feature Request: Better dimensional meta data displayed

Aside from every other problem with how Bridge lets the user display, sort and interact with meta data (aside from the actual metadata palette), it would be way more useful to have the Dimension meta data displayed under an image shown in 'real world' dimensions.
For example: I'm looking at my 'final images' that have been converted to CMYK, and sized for delivery. At this point Pixel Dimensions are pretty useless. What I really want to do is quickly scan my images, seeing Inches (or CM) with a PPI. My clients never ask for pixel dimensions (unless we are talking about the web, which we aren't) - they ask for 8.76" x 5.34" at 266ppi. It would just be nice to use bridge to double check the image sizes before delivery.
thks
andy

Thanks for you feedback. You wish has been granted (dimensions can now be displayed in pixels, inches or centimeters. Go to Preferences > Thumbnails to select which dimension to display below the thumbnail, or Preferences > Metadata to customize the metadata pane). Check out the free beta of Bridge CS3 (http://labs.adobe.com/technologies/photoshopcs3/)

Data Manager not available in the BPC 7.0 Action Pane

Hi,
I have just installed BPC 7.0 and everything is working fine, except I don't have access to the Data Manager.

1. Click the Business Planning and Consolidation icon on your desktop.
2. From the Business Planning and Consolidation launch page, select Business Planning and Consolidation for Excel.
3. From the Getting Started - BPC for Excel action pane, select Manage Data.
I don't have "Manage Data" as an option in the Action Pane. The options I have under Available Task Categories are: "Reporting & Analysis", "Journals" and "Open System Reports".
I also do not have a menu called eData.
Any ideas on what I can do?
Thanks,
Sam

Can No Longer Edit Song Meta Data In Latest iTunes 11.1???

I just discovered that since the update to version 11.1 I can no longer manually edit the meta data by using the Show info function, all options are greyed out. For instance I can no longer adjust the volume level on a song nor can I edit the fields for song title and artist tec. There is also no longer any tab for album art when using the Show Info function on a song that has no album cover art. On songs that already have an album cover there will be an album art tab but the options there are all greyed out so I can not change the album cover art if I wanted too. This really *****, I can no longer edit album cover art for songs that have another cover already and I can not add any cover picture at all for songs that have no cover art (unless I manage to get the cover from the iTunes store but that is very often not successfull).
Another bug I found is that I can no longer add any video file to my playlists.
So this new update really ***** for me and have ruined my itunes experience.
Do anyone else in here have the same problem?
I really hope Apple will fix these bugs as soon as possible!

I think I finally found a solution to this problem. It appears that for some reason, some songs you download will maintain write protection that the original owner had set on his/hers computer. In my case for this Ellie Goulding album that I had problem with, it turned out my friend who gave it to me had some of the songs stored on his iPad and that caused the files to become write protected it seems, and this write protection was transfered over to my PC. To solve this issue, everytime you encounter a song in iTunes that you can not edit just right click it and select Show/View In Explorer, that will take you to the storage location of the file in question. Now right click the song and select Properties and see if it is write protected, if it is then just uncheck that option and click ok. Now you should be able to edit the meta data for that song again. So it appears this is not a bug in iTunes but rather a write protection issue.

Scheduling Agreement Date Management

I am running into limitiations with the standard SAP date management functionality in the firm zone of Scheduling agreements. I am for any configuration options or customizations out there that can resolve our issues.

As pointed out already above you need to use a periodic lot sizing procedure.
Use Lot sizing procedure P, Lot size indicator K and Scheduling =2
As per your requirement, you need to create a calendar using MD25 with Months (Workdays) as a calculation rule with 1 as the period in the box provided.
After a MRP run the delivery date would point to the last day of the month.
But the requirement is a bit surprising as say for a requirement on the 1st of the month you will have the delivery showing up on the last day of the same month. Under what circumstances do you have this requirement as a valid one in your business case?
