Can we bind a single external table with multiple files in OWB 11g?

Hi,
I wanted to ask if it is possible to bind an external table with multiple source files at same or different locations? Or an external table has to be bound to a single source file and a single location.
Thanks in advance,
Ann.

Hi Ann,
Can you please help me out by telling me the steps to accomplish this. Right click on the external table in project tree, from the menu choose Configure,
then in opened Configuration Properties dialog window right clock on Data Files node and choose from menu Create -
you will get new record for file - specify Data File Name property
Also link from OWB user guide

Can we create single External Table for multiple files?

HI,
Can we create External table for multiple files? Could anyone please explain it.
Thanks and regards
Gowtham Sen.

to merge 16 files having same structureWell, if files have the same structure, as per the reading of the example from the following documentation, you can create one external table for all your files :

External table with empty file

Hi,
My db version: Oracle 11g
I have an empty csv file.
I created a external table for the empty csv file.
When I run:
select count(*) from externaltblname;
It returns 1.
It should return 0 right.
In the definition, I specified "SKIP 1"
But still it returns 1.
When I use this external table to load into a target table. It loads a single row with null values.
How to fix this. Please advice.

What works for me is the following (t_ext points to an empty csv):
SQL> select count(field) from t_ext;
COUNT(FIELD)
           1
1 row selected.
SQL> select ascii(field) from t_ext;
ASCII(FIELD)
          13
1 row selected.
SQL> select count(replace(field, chr(13))) from t_ext;
COUNT(REPLACE(FIELD,CHR(13)))
                            0
1 row selected.

Can I Save a Single .AI Document As Multiple Files, Seperated by the Page Tiling?

There must be a way to save or output a single Adobe Illustrator file into multiple files based on the "pages" I have created in the document?
For example, if I have tiled 10 tabloid-sized pages onto a single Illustrator CS3 .AI file, is it possible to save the file in a manner that will allow all of those tiled pages to be saved as a seperated or individual files?
I guess it would be a similar concept to how in newer versions (like CS4) you can export multiple jpegs of an illustrator file that contains several artboards and it automatically assigns a number suffix to the filename since multiple files were outputted from the single ai file.
Any help is MUCH appreciated. Thanks!

Please post your question in the Illustrator forum. This forum is for suite specific issues only.

Will there performance improvement over separate tables vs single table with multiple partitions?

Will there performance improvement over separate tables vs single table with multiple partitions? Is advisable to have separate tables than having a single big table with partitions? Can we expect same performance having single big table with partitions? What is the recommendation approach in HANA?

Suren,
first off a friendly reminder: SCN is a public forum and for you as an SAP employee there are multiple internal forums/communities/JAM groups available. You may want to consider this.
Concerning your question:
You didn't tell us what you want to do with your table or your set of tables.
As tables are not only storage units but usually bear semantics - read: if data is stored in one table it means something else than the same data in a different table - partitioned tables cannot simply be substituted by multiple tables.
Looked at it on a storage technology level, table partitions are practically the same as tables. Each partition has got its own delta store & can be loaded and displaced to/from memory independent from the others.
Generally speaking there shouldn't be too many performance differences between a partitioned table and multiple tables.
However, when dealing with partitioned tables, the additional step of determining the partition to work on is always required. If computing the result of the partitioning function takes a major share in your total runtime (which is unlikely) then partitioned tables could have a negative performance impact.
Having said this: as with all performance related questions, to get a conclusive answer you need to measure the times required for both alternatives.

Using an external drive with shared files (iPhoto, iTunes), attached to a Time Capsule, can the contents of the external drive be backed-up to the internal Time Capsule drive? Perhaps a RAID1 mirror to a partition?

Using an external drive with shared files (iPhoto, iTunes), attached to a Time Capsule, can the contents of the external drive be backed-up to the internal Time Capsule drive? Perhaps a RAID1 mirror to a partitioned Time Capsule? I understand that the Time Machine (software) cannot backup a networked drive (the external) and that Time Capsule (the router/wireless hard drive) does not have its own backup software... so it won't backup the connected drive. What I would like is an alternate solution for having an automated backup of a networked drive. A 2TB Time Capsule has more than enough space for Time Machine backups of my family of Macbooks, so I had hoped to mirror a 500GB external drive (with shared media files) to a portion of the Time Capsule internal hard drive. I assume this would require a partition of the Time Capsule drive. If not, would the sparse file from the various computers being backed up need to be copied to the external drive as part of the RAID1 setup? This seems like overkill for the Time Machine backup, but it would cover the media files.

The complexity with this idea is the software has to run from a Mac computer on your network.. so you need a Mac turned on, probably most of the day.
It isn't possible to partition the TC although you can create a image area.
The software would have to copy the material, that means all files to be copied, go from USB drive, back to the Mac, then back to the TC, and written to the drive. In other words you have just added Network congestion, although a proper incremental backup type software will not actually use a lot of capacity.
Finally it will be slow.. network drives are slower than internal drives. Well USB connected drive is much slower than the same drive connected directly to the computer.. and if the drive is connected directly to a computer it can be shared with the network.

Read carefully the speed of the USB drive plugged into the TC.

Can I use a 2tb external drive with Time Machine to backup my Mac Mini (256gbSSD + 2tbHDD)?

Can I use a 2tb external drive with Time Machine to backup what I have on my Mac Mini?
My Mac Mini has one 256 SSD and one 2tb HDD. I want to use Time Machine to do a backup of everything.
Would an external 2tb My Passport Drive by Western Digital work for the backup?
It seems like it would not work because the total storage on the Mac Mini is 2304 gigabytes (SSD + HDD).
And the external Western Digital drive is only 2048 in gigabytes versus 2304 gigabytes the Mac Mini has.

No. A Time Machine backup drive should have at least twice the capacity of the drive it backs up. You would need at least a 4 TB backup drive for Time Machine.
Might I suggest as an alternative that you not use Time Machine but a third-party backup utility that simply overwrites older files with new ones such that the backup drive can be the same capacity as the drive backed up.

Can i use a single ended encoder with a 7344 controller?

Can i use a single ended encoder with a 7344 controller?

The encoder inputs of the 7344 are ground referenced. So the answer is yes, you can use a single ended encoder with a 7344 controller. Signal connection should be straight forward.
If you are using a UMI-7764 for signal connections please refer to the "Encoder Terminal Block" section (page 15) of the UMI User Guide. There are drawings for the signal connections for single ended and differential encoders.
For the case that you don't have the user guide of the UMI-7764 please download it from this link:

Can we take backup of external table using expdp

Can we take backup of external table using expdp, please suggest any doc.
thanks in advance.

@Fahd
About the ACCESS_METHOD parameter
-It's undocumented data pump parameter and it's should be used only when requested by Oracle Support
-It's purpose is to specify the loading/unloading method, not filtering object types during the export or import
-If this parameter is not specified,the Data Pump will automatically choose the best method to load or unload the data...
so,
the External Tables method
-Is used by the data pump if data cannot be moved in the default method to load/unload data ,
and that is direct path mode, or if there is a situation where parallel SQL can be used to speed up the data move even more

Can't sign in on external monitor with MBP after Yosemite upgrade

After Yosemite upgrade, when I turn on my MBP, I can't sign in using external monitor with MBP, always could before Yosemite. Blurred image of my wallpaper shows on monitor, can move arrow on external screen but sign-in only shows up on my computer screen, with no arrow. Since there is no arrow on the computer screen, and no sign in box on the external monitor, I have to unplug the external video to sign in on the computer, then plug in the monitor again. Any ideas?

NOWEK,
Thanks for this suggestion, but so far no joy. I have zapped the PRAM, jammed the Frabitz and smashed the Gafrogsnicker, all to no avail. When the MBP restarts I get a blurred image (extreme "vibrancy") on the external monitor, but no images of the login accounts to choose from or the other options. However, on the MBP screen I get all that. The keyboard and mouse respond, but just doesn't display on the external monitor. This is of interest to me because I have the MBP down in a credenza with other related gear and the external monitor and keyboard up on my desk. It's true I don't have to do this often, but still, it just started this aggravation with Yosemite. Thanks for trying to help.

How to create a table with multiple select on???

Hi all,
I am new to webdynpro and my requirement is to create a table with multiple selection on.I have to add abt 10 rows in the table but only 5 rows should be visible and moreover a verticalscroll should be available to view other rows.Can anybody explain me in detail how to do that.Please reply as if you are explaining to a newcomer.Reply ASAP as i have to do it today.
Thanxs

Hi,
1. Create a value node in your context name Table and set its cardinality to 0:n
2. Create 2 value attributes within the Table node name value1 and value2
3. Goto Outline view> Right click on TransparentUIContainer>Apply Template> Select Table>mark the node Table and it's attributes.
you have created a table and binded its value to context
Table UI properties
4.Set Selection Mode to Multi
5.Set Visible Row Count to 5
6.ScrollableColCount to 5
In your implemetaion, you can add values to table as follow:
IPrivate<viewname>.ITableElement ele = wdContext.nodeTable().createTableElement();
ele.setValue1(<value>);
ele.setValue2(<value>);
wdContext.nodeTable().addElement(ele);
The above code will allow you to add elements to your table node.

How to handle Fact tables with different granularity in OBIEE 11g RPD

Hello Everyone,
I have got stuck here and need your help.
I have two fact tables (Say F1 and F2... F1 is containing data at month-level and F2 is containing data at day level) and one Date DIMENSION TABLE. Date_Code is the PK of Date dimension table.I need to use time-series functions also.
Can anyone tell me how to model this requirement in the RPD.
Can we use a single dimension table(Here Date dimension table) with two fact table of different grainularity? What would be the best way to implement this requirement?
Thanks in advance :)

Hi Veeravalli,
Thanks for your reply :)
Let me explain the problem in more detail. I have one Date dimension(Date_Code,Month_Code,Quarter_Code,Half_Year_Code,Year_Code). Here Date_Code is the PK.
In F1---->Date (Using Month_Code key)
F2-------->Date (Using Date_Code Key)
Level based hierarchy is there starting from Year to Date.Each level has PK defined and chronological key selected.
F1 has level set to Month and F2 has level set to Day.
Now if i am using ago() function on measure of F2 (having day level data) then it's working fine but if i am using ago() function on measure of F1...I am getting an error at Presentation service: Date_code must be projected for time-series functions.
So the whole issue is with time-series functions. As per my research...I think for time series the tables in the physical model containing the time dimension cannot join to other data sources, except at the most detailed level but here i am joining with F1(using Month_Code which is not the most detailed level).
So kindly let me know how to achieve this in rpd?

ORA-01461 Error when mapping table with multiple varchar2(4000) fields

(Note: I think this was an earlier problem, supposed fixed in 11.0, but we are experiencing in 11.7)
If I map an Oracle 9i table with multiple varchar2(4000) columns, targeting another Oracle 9i database, I get the ORA-01461 error (Can't bind a LONG value only for insert into a LONG).
I have tried changing the target columns to varchar2(1000), as suggested as a workaround in earlier versions, all to no avail.
I can have just one varchar2(4000) map correctly and execute flawlessly - the problem occurs when I add a second one.
I have tried making the target column a LONG, but that does not solve the problem.
Then, I made the target database SQL Server, and it had no problem at all, so the issue seems to be Oracle-related.

Hi Jon,
Thanks for the feedback. I'm unable to reproduce the problem you describe at the moment - if I try to migrate a TEXT(5), OMWB creates a VARCHAR(5) and the data migrates correctly!! However, I note from you description that even though the problematic source column datatype is TEXT(5), you mention that there are actually 20 lines of text in this field (and not 5 variable length characters as the definition might suggest).
Having read through some of the MySQL reference guide I note that, in certain circumstances, MySQL actually changes the column datatype specified either at table creation time or when interfacing with other databases ( ref 14.2.5.1 Silent Column Specification Changes and 12.7 Using Column Types from Other Database Engines in the MySQL reference guide). Since your TEXT(5) actually contains 20 lines of text, MySQL (database or JDBC driver .... or both) may be trying to automatically map the specified datatype of the column to a datatype more appropriate to storing 20 lines of text.... that is, to a LONG value in this case. Then, when Oracle is presented with this LONG value to store in a VARCHAR(5) field, it throws the ORA-01461 error. I need to investigate this further, but this may be the case - its the first time I've see this problem encountered.
To workaround this, you could change the datatype of the column to a LONG from within the Oracle Model before migrating. Any application code that accesses this column and expects a TEXT(5) value may need to be adjusted to cope with a LONG value. Is this a viable workaround for you?
I will investigate further and notiofy you of any details I uncover. We will need to track this issue for possible inclusion in future development plans.
I hope this helps,
Regards,
Tom.

Web Analysis : populate the same table with multiple data sources

Hi folks,
I would like to know if it is possible to populate a table with multiple data sources.
For instance, I'd like to create a table with 3 columns : Entity, Customer and AvgCostPerCust.
Entity and Customer come from one Essbase, AvgCostPerCust comes from HFM.
The objective is to get a calculated member which is Customer * AvgCostPerCust.
Any ideas ?
Once again, thanks for your help.

I would like to have the following output:
File 1 - Store 2 - Query A + Store 2 - Query B
File 2 - Store 4 - Query A + Store 4 - Query B
File 3 - Store 5 - Query A + Store 5 - Query B
the bursting level should be give at
File 1 - Store 2 - Query A + Store 2 - Query B
so the tag in the xml has to be split by common to these three rows.
since the data is coming from the diff query, and the data is not going to be under single tag.
you cannot burst it using concatenated data source.
But you can do it, using the datatemplate, and link the query and get the data for each file under a single query,
select distinct store_name from all-stores
select * from query1 where store name = :store_name === 1st query
select * from query2 where store name = :store_name === 2nd query
define the datastructure the way you wanted,
the xml will contain something like this
<stores>
<store> </store> - for store 2
<store> </store> - for store 3
<store> </store> - for store 4
<store> </store> - for store 5
<stores>
now you can burst it at store level.
