Can source and target tables be the same

Hi there,
I need to restate profit center column in the delivery fact table. Historical Profit Centers need to be populated since today is the first time we brought in Profit Center field from LIPS table. The source for the delivery fact table is SAP LIPS table. so what I did is:
joined the LIPS and delivery fact table on (LIPS.delivery number = deliveryfacttable.delivery number & LIPS.delivery line item number = deliveryfacttable.delivery line item number) to get the profit center.
So the source and the target delivery fact table are the same. Is this a good practice becuase Data services warns me that the source and target tables are the same.
Please let me know a better alternative approach to this OR a better approach to restate fields for historical data. Thanks in advance.

samqiue

Arun,
actually the LIPS resides on another server and in order to fetch data I have to write an R3 ABAP data flow, so I cant use it directly in a lookup.
Except what Im thinking based on your reply to use a lookup table is: that I will extract 3 colums (delivery number, delivery line item number and profit center) to a table and then use the lookup.
Thanks.

Source and Target Table in the Same schema........will that work in ODI

Hi ,
Is it possible to have my source and target tables in the Same achema.......will it have any performance issues or some other issues in our ODI.......
I would like to know whether it works well or not .........
( To my understanding it wont have any issues ......But I am not 100 % sure on my judgement)
Thanks
AK

Yes, you're correct.
Just be sure about you load strategy, it means, if you need only to insert use the KM Control Append, but if need update too, try the IKM Oracle Incremental Update... I believe that will work better for millions of lines.
Anyway be sure that your database has the necessary tablespaces to manage huge data volume.

Is it possible to have source and target schema in the same DB instance ?

Hi All,
I'm using Oracle 11gR1.
I have switched source locations from other server to the one with OWB.
During deploy I get VLD-3064 and I can't deploy mapping because of many 'table or view does not exist' warnings.
Is it possible to have source and target schemas in the same instance ??
How to do it ?
Regards,
Martin

Hi Jörg,
Thanks for your help and quick answer.
I'd like to clarify a little your answer :
1. Are the any special privilages I need to set ? Currently I have only 'RESOURCE' and 'CONNECT' (I think I didn't have to add any other privs when that schema was located on other instance...)
2. Also VLD-3064 states that : 'Owning and referenced location of this connector are on the same database instance. Unless explicitly referenced in configuration settings no generated code will use the dataabase link resulting from deployment of this connector'. Does it mean I have to put something in configuration ?
Thanks,
Martin

LMDB - SLD "Source and target system have the same object server name"

Hi,
the system is a SM7.1 SP1
For some reason (Object-Server-Name changed), the job that syncs the sld and lmdb cancels...
I set the LMDB-Object-Server-Name to its original Name...
Now i've deleted the sync-config in the solman_setup and try to start a new sync, but i get the following error, when i try to configure the source-system:
'Source and target system have the same object server name: CISM318'
But the names are different: 'SM3' (LMDB) and 'CISM318' (SLD)
Any suggestions ?
best regards

Lookup Table and Target Table are the same

Hi All,
I have a requirement in which I have to lookup the target table and based on the records in it, I need to load a new record into the target table.
Being very specific,
Suppose I have a key column which when changes I want to generate a new id and then insert this new value.
The target table record structure looks like this
list_id list_key list_name
1 'A' 'NAME1'
1 'A' 'NAME2'
1 'A' 'NAME3'
2 'B' 'NAME4'
2 'B' 'NAME5'
As shown the target table list_id changes only when the list key changes. I need to generate the list_id value from within OWB mapping.
Can anyone throw some light as to how this can be done in OWB???
regards

Hello, AP
You underestimate the power of single mapping :) If you could tolerate using additional stage table (with is definitly recomended in case your table from example will account a lot of rows).
You underestimate the power of single mapping :) It you could tolerate using additional stage table (witch is definitely recommended in case your table from example will account a lot of rows), you could accomplish all you need within one mapping and without using PLSQL function. This is true as far as you could have several targets within one mapping.
Source ----------------------------------------------------- >| Join2 | ---- > Target 2
|------------------------ >|Join 1| --> Lookup table -->|
Target Dedup >|
Here Target your target table. Join 1 operator covers operations needed to get existing key mapping (from dedup) and find new mappings. Results are stored within Lookup Table target (operation type TRUNCATE/INSERT).
Join 2 is used to perform final lookup and load it into the Target 2 the same as Target
The approach with lookup table is fast and reliable and could run on Set base mode. Also you could revisit lookup table to find what key mapping are loaded during last load operation.

ODI metadata query to find source and Target table for Interface

Hi Experts,
Client is migrating there source from EBS 11.5.10 to R12. They are in ODI BIApps. 7952 version.Since,all there mappings are customized they are not bothering about support from Oracle as far as BIApps is concerned.
Now,we need to know how many ODI mappings will be impacted when source EBS is migrating from 11.5.10 to R12 and so that we can only target those mappings accordingly.
So,please provide me with below inputs:
1) Any metadata query which will give me the source table and target table information's against an interface even-if the main interface source is another interface.
2) What are the other stuffs I need to look from point of view of mapping changes when the source is upgrading.e.g. only source table change is enough or I need to look into other stuffs.I feel,it is boiling down to create a separate source adapter for R12.

Simpli Home Artisan : TV Stand and Coffee Table : Not the same color. HELP

Hello,
I ordered and received the Simpli Home Artisan TV Stand from the BestBuy website. We got it a couple weeks ago, put it together and love it.
We decided to order the matching Simpli Home Artisan Coffee table to go with it. We just picked it up today and it is not the same color at the TV stand.
Both item listed on the BestBuy website say they are "Medium auburn brown" in color, as do the boxes we recieved. However they are not the same color, the TV stand is much darker than the coffee table.
TV Stand: http://www.bestbuy.com/site/simpli-home-artisan-tv-stand-for-most-flat-panel-tvs-up-to-54/1622137.p?...
Coffe Table: http://www.bestbuy.com/site/simpli-home-artisan-collection-coffee-table/1860306.p?id=1219066204317&s...
If you go to the Simpli Home manufacturer website you will see that Artisan collection comes in two different color tones, "Available in Auburn or Tobacco Brown".
Simpli Home Website: http://www.simpli-home.com/#!wood---artisan-coffee-table/cuhk
The TV stand we got is Tobacco Brown, and though the color does not match the pictures on BestBuy.com, we liked it and decided it was okay, but not if the coffee table doesn't match.
I really don't care if I get Tobacco Brown or Medium Auburn, I just want them to match. However since I've already assembled the TV Stand, I would like to return the coffee table and get one that is Tobacco brown.
I posted this to the forum because I know if I call the store they won't have a clue what I am talking about.
Please let me know what I should do, and help me if you can.
Thank you
Solved!
Go to Solution.

Greetings rtb1980,
I can definitely understand why you would choose both of those pieces of furniture as they look wonderful, but of course it would be a chronic annoyance if the furniture didn’t match. Using the email address you registered with the forum, I was able to take a look at your purchase history and the items on our site as well as the manufacturer’s.
As we get all of our information about the products directly from the manufacturer, it would seem that you received the wrong color TV stand, and that you would have received the correct color for the coffee table. As these items are special ordered items, meaning the orders are not fulfilled directly by us, it is difficult to say where the mix up may have occurred with your TV stand, for which I am truly sorry.
That being said, it does not appear that we carry the coffee table in the tobacco brown color you are looking for. Sadly, this means we would be unable to provide you an exchange for the tobacco color, although you should be able to return the coffee table within the Return & Exchange Policy. However, we should be able to provide you with an exchange of your TV stand for the correct color to match the auburn colored coffee table you received; although, I understand that this may not be the ideal resolution, as it may have been the more complicated piece of furniture to put together.
I apologize for any inconvenience this experience may have caused you. If you should have any questions, or need any further assistance, please do not hesitate to reach out to me.

Display a cruve and a table in the same servlet

Hi,
I want to display a curve in a servlet, I can do it, but I can't display the table which is after the curve, the code is the following :
public void doGet(HttpServletRequest req, HttpServletResponse resp) throws ServletException, IOException {
       XYDataset dataset = createDataset(pathFile, pathFileTimer);
      JFreeChart chart = createChart(dataset);
      resp.setContentType("image/png");
      OutputStream out1 = resp.getOutputStream();
      ChartUtilities.writeChartAsPNG(out1, chart, 800, 600);
      out1.close();
      PrintWriter out = resp.getWriter();
      out.println("<html>");
      out.println("<body>");
      out.println("<head>");
      out.println("<title>Informations batterie</title>");
      out.println("</head>");
      out.println("<body bgcolor=\"white\">");
      out.println("<TABLE id=\"Table1\" style=\"WIDTH: 864px; HEIGHT: 75px\" cellSpacing=\"1\" cellPadding=\"1\" width=\"864\" border=\"1\">");
...So how can I display the table in the same servlet ? Or perhaps can I display the curve in an another servlet, but it would be better to call this servlet automatically and not manually with a post method.
Thanks for any help.

So how can I display the table in the same servlet ?You can't. You either send HTML or you send PNG. You can't combine the two in the same request.
Or perhaps can I display the curve in an another
servlet, but it would be better to call this servlet
automatically and not manually with a post method.Yes, you would use another servlet to display the curve. Servlet A would generate the HTML, including a link to Servlet B. I don't know what you think the difference between calling a servlet automatically and manually is, but if you use this two-step process:
1. Decide what HTML you want the browser to see.
2. Write code to produce that HTML.
you will find things a lot less confusing.

Can smb and afp coexist on the same host?

Greetings all!
I've been using Macs and OSX for a year. And recently I bought another MBP so I am seriously considering Time Machine backups. I have a Linux home server running Ubuntu 12.04 and Samba and my previous MBP running Mountain Lion connects to it happily without any problem. But my trouble started when I tried to setup afp on the same box.
I followed this post and this post and got the fake time capsule showing in Time Machine without any problem. But soon I found myself unable to connect to the old samba shares. The smb host now displays as a Time Capsule. If I click on that OSX will say 'failed to connect'.
As I understand there are 2 pieces involved on the server side, avahi to broadcast the service info and netatalk to provide the service itself. It's a bit like nmbd and smbd in Samba. If this is true then it's somewhat understandable that OSX can not display the same host as 2 different types of services at the same time. So I stopped avahi-daemon and very soon the old Samba shares appeared again.
I am able to connect to both services using command+k but I would rather have them running normally so that my wife will be able to use them without extra tech support. Can anyone tell me if what I said above is true and/or if there is a graceful way around this? If answer is no then I will have to create a virtual machine or nic alias just for time machine and I think it's quite a waste.
Thanks!

I don't quite understand why people buying non-Apple devices should not expect OSX to work with them
Because Apple has no control over 3rd parties. They can do what they want. If Apple publishes a new authentication mechanism in 2002, the 3rd party doesn't have to implement it. That isn't Apple's fault. If they do get around to supporting it in 2009 and then some 4th party doesn't bother to use the 2009 code in 2011, Apple still can't do anything about that. If anyone else wants to advertise, and support, Time Machine compatibility, they are welcome to do that. They definitely have the advertising part down, the support, not so much.
There is a time when apple only worked with apple but that aparently was not sustainable. And that's why now Apple is embracing smb
Apple's goal is to choose the best solution for its customers. Sometimes that is a proprietary connection or protocol and sometimes it is something industry standard. In all cases, there has to be some cut off for testing and support. That is why Apple eventually stops supporting its own hardware and technologies at a certain point. That is also why Apple will support SMB as deployed by Microsoft but isn't going to waste much time on home-built Linux servers.
(it's said even samba was used shortly on OSX, not quite sure) and allow users to install windows on macs. Even OSX itselt is based on FreeBSD and uses quite a lot of open source components.
Apple uses a lot of open source software. Samba was one of those projects. Unfortunately, the people that made those products didn't want Apple using them so they changed the licensing to prohibit Apple (and pretty much only Apple) from using their source code. That is why some of the open source packages in OS X are stuck in a 2007 version. That is also why Apple abandonned Samba and wrote its own SMB implementation.
OS X is not based on FreeBSD. It has a BSD-flavoured POSIX layer, but it is a distinct operating system at its core.
IMHO there is no magic in throwing money at propiretary hardware/software or praying to Steve Jobs. If something is not working, it must be that there is a bug in the code or the design. And neither OSX nor Macs are built by God, which means they are bugged as other software/hardware.
I'm confused. When did anyone say anything about praying to Steve Jobs or divine technology? You asked about using Linux as a Time Machine server. I suggested you avoid that if you value your data. I also asked why you would want to keep running Linux now that you have a Mac. A Mac can do anything Linux can do with a fraction of the effort.
The answer is simple, Macs can not do what I want.
Which is?
Withe a standard mATX case I can have quite a few 3.5" drive bays while there is only one 2.5" in a Mac mini. And with Ubuntu/Debian, getting/updating the software or the system is quite easy, just one or a few lines of apt commands, not quite possible with OSX.
That's certainly true. OS X updates itself without having to run any apt commands.
If you must compile something from the source to get a Linux running then something must be seriously wrong.
My thoughts exactly. But perhaps you didn't follow me entirely. Apt, yum, etc don't have everything one needs to setup something as fancy as, I don't know, a web server. While I did have to compile a number of things from source, I had to actually edit the source a couple of times as well.
The best thing I love about Linux is openess. You can customize almost everything and change it whatever way you want. With Mac, for example the 2013 Retina MBP I just bought, it's not even possible to change the power button behavior, which is very annoying.
Then why did you buy a Mac? That's no big secret. Some people like not have to configure everything just to get it running. I have other things to do than edit config files.
Back to my original question. I think the problem is not quite with compatibility of Bonjor but rather whether OSX can show this or not. Imagine you have a smb share and afp share on the same host, with the same name, how would OSX display it? And which icon will OSX use to display the host? I can not think of the answer so if you know please tell me.
OS X will just display it like it display any server. One of your links event has instructions on how to pick the icon you want to fake. If you are running both services then I am not sure which one it would try to connect with. Neither of your services are native, not matter how much they try to fake it. If you wanted a specific service you would have to manually use the correct protocol in Finder > Go > Connect to Server. However, bot of those links were posted before Mavericks. Obviously they don't work anymore. It's Linux. It's open. Right? So fix it and post it on your own blog. I do not know what modifications you would have to make to either Samba or Netatalk to make them work with Mavericks.
If all you need is to allow your wife to connect to one specific protocol, then manually connect to that service, saving your password in the keychain, and create an alias by Command-option dragging the server to some other folder. Then, she can just double-click on the alias to connect to the network.
Now, if you really want to be clever, you can setup an automount to that service instead. Then the server will be mounted and unmounted as needed.

Can VIP and Rservers be in the same subnet in ACE Routed Mode

Good Day,
Sorry for the lengthy post.
Currently I have a 6509s running in VSS mode with ACE30 in each chassis.
I have 5 vlans, which the VSS is the L3 interface for each. 1 Vlan is for management, the others are the data vlans for the servers.
The ACE is configured in bridge mode, with all VLANs going to a specific context (non Admin).
Some of the Host on each VLANs are not utilized for load-balancing. The default gateway for each VLAN is configured on the VSS.
I would like to setup the ACE in the routed mode, without having to change the IP address of each servers on different VLANs.
Basically I want to turn off the SVIs on VSS and move the L3 interface on the ACE Context, and let it perform the local routing for all the hosts.
I was going to add a new /30 L3 interface between the VSS and ACE to be utilized for default route traffic coming from the ACE Context, and static routes from VSS to ACE for traffic destined to host that are being load-balanced and not being load-balanced. Basically force the traffic through the load-balancer in/out.
For future deployment, I was planning on using different IP address for the VIPs, and Real servers (most likely RFC 1918).
From most of the examples I have seen the VIP and Rservers are in different Subnets. But because I am trying to not change the IP address of the rservers and VIP, I wanted to know if the VIP and Rservers can be configured to be in the same subnet where the ACE is in routed mode.
Unfortunately I don't have a spare ACE to test scenario.
As always any help would greatly be appreciated.

Raman

Link-local addresses are usually the self assigned IP address that a device will set when a DHCP server cannot be found. These are the addresses with 169.254.x.x subnet.
If the router is assigning IP addresses for your network, then they will usually have a different IP subnet, possibly 192.168.0 for D-Link. And this subnet would be for the wired and wireless connections. So it would be more a case of bridging the two network topolgies rather than routing them.
The network host is busy message could be more to do with the driver and the IP protocol selected when creating the queue than the connection being broken between the Mac and printer. If you were to open Network Utility and select the Ping tab, enter the IP address of the HP and set the pings to 4, pressing the Ping button will soon show if there is a path through the wireless to the printer.
If you get a response to the ping you could then open Safari and type the ip address as the URL. This would then connect to the internal web page of the printer and possibly let you enable an IP protocol like LPR so that you can use LPD on the Mac instead of Bonjour to connect to the printer.
As for the driver, you could look at using a Gutenprint driver instead of the HP driver or the hpijs package to get past the limitations that some printer drivers have with network connections.

Can I display different tables at the same time?

Hello all,
This is probably a newbie question but is it possible to display different tables at the same time? I'm using SQL Developer 1.5.5 and I seem to be unable to display more than one table at the same time, whenever i chose to open another table, the old table disappears. In other words, the table display just switches to your new choice in the table list navigator. Any ideas anyone?

How do I create a target table with the same PK as the source table?

I am trying to create a target table in a mapping that will end up with the same primary key as the source table.
It is a simple map that simply uses a subset of the columns of the source table in the target table. I was wanting to create and bind a new table by dragging the columns I want from the source to the initially blank target table operator, change the column names and create a primary key to match the source table.
I can't seem to be able to create a constraint on the table in the mapping. I can create the constraint after the table is created and boound to the database object but the PK doesn't carry back into the mapping.
I need it in the mapping so I can use the UPDATE/INSERT operation and use the 'All Constraints' implementation. The mapping won't let me validate the object without the PK on it in the map.
Believe it or not folks, I am getting better at this.
Thanks very much for the guidance.
Gary

Hi Gary
You are close, you are really close... :-))
You need to do exactly as you propose plus one extra step. Build the map as you describe, binding the new table to the target. Then you edit the table definition to add the primary key and any other constraints you need. After this is the step that you are missing.
You need to do the following:
1. Go back and re-edit the map
2. Right click on the table
3. From the pop up menu, select Reconcile Inbound
4. Set any operators that you need for the UPDATE/INSERT
5. Save the map
6. Commit your changes
The first three steps above make the map read in the indexes and constraints that you set on the table. Finally, you need to deploy the table and then deploy the map.
Hope this helps

Michael

Best practice when FACT and DIMENSION table are the same

Hi,
In my physical model I have some tables that are both fact and dimension table, i.e. in the BMM they are of course separated into Fact and Dim source (2 different units) and it works fine. But I can see that there will be trouble when having more fact tables and I e.g. have a Period dimension pointing to all the different fact tables (different sources).
Seems like the best solution to this is to have an alias of the fact/transaction table and have 2 "copies" of the transaction table (one for fact and one for dimension table) in the physical layer. Only bad thing is that there will then allways be 2 lookups in the same table when fetching data from the dimension and the fact table.
This is not built on a datawarehouse - so the architecture is thereby more complex. Hope this was understandable (trying to make a short story of it).
Any best practice on this? Or other suggestions.

Id recommend creation of a view in the database. if its an oracle DB, materialised views would be a huge performance benefit. you just need to make sure that the MVs are updated when the source is updated.

Dimension and Fact table have the same grain

Hi All,
How can we join a dimension and a fact table if they have the same grain ? In my case it is a contract number.
Thanks

Your Impression is right, In terms of Dimensional Modeling. You have to consider this when you are designing your warehouse tables.
But now if you already have these tables in database, OBIEE does not care how many rows a table have, it just need to know what is fact and what is Dimension and it will generate sql queries based on join conditions.

OCI doc says Cursor and Nested table have the same bind type SQLT_RSET but they don't

5 Binding and Defining in OCI
PL/SQL REF CURSORs and Nested Tables in OCI
says SQLT_RSET is passed for the dty parameter.
If I use SQLT_RSET for the return value of a function that returns a table and pass a statement handle's address for the OCI parameter data pointer, I expected that the statement handle will be instantiated as a result of executing the function on which I can further perform fetch, similar to a cursor. But it throws exception PLS-00382: expression is of wrong type ORA-06550: line 2, column 3. Is the above documentation wrong?
From the OCI header file I see that for varray and nested table it mentions to use SQLT_NCO. I could find no example in the OCI documentation on how to pass or receive as return value a nested value when using SQLT_NCO.
Please help before I shoot myself.

So the Nested table I quoted in the doc is not actually used to mean a table type below?
create type t_resultsetdata as object (
i int, d decimal, c varchar(10)
create type t_nested_resultsetdata as table of t_resultsetdata;
create function Blah return t_nested_resultsetdata is . . .
For this you are saying to use SQL_NTY and not SQL_NCO. Can you tell where this usage is documented, because ocidfn.h says
#define SQLT_NTY 108
/* named object type */
#define SQLT_NCO 122
/* named collection type (varray or nested table) */
Another question - Because of the original document I said I followed, I thought I could treat cursor and nested table similarly in the calling application, i.e. I could repeatedly do a fetch on the OCIStmt* which will be bound for nested table. Now from what you say I understand I can't really bind a OCIStmt* for nested table but have an object type. That means it will get all the data of that collection in one go, right? LIke I said, lack of examples is making this tough. I don't want to look into OCI source code, as that will be too much.
