Changing Data Model from logical to physical query

Hi to all !
Is there any problem to replace a sql query upon Bi Server with a sql query upon Oracle database? I have tried it, using the same column aliases with which the template has been built, but the result is a blank report.
Has anyone already done a similar thing?
Thank you.

Hi ViForEver,
thanks for detailed report. We also found the problem in engineering of entity hierarchy when existing attribute is used as discriminator column. No such problem when leave DM to create new discriminator column.
Problem is fixed and fix is included in the forthcoming patch release.
About your questions/observations:
can the subtree generation mode solve it -> Seems I'm not able to set it to an other value than "do not preset" anymore
Generation of table for given entity depends on "Engineer to" flag and it can have different value for each relational model. If the flag is checked then table will be generated for that entity
otherwise attributes will be implemented by another entity down or up in the hierarchy. So two combo boxes in "Entity and sub-tree generation preset" help you to set that flag for entity
and it's sub-tree. It's functionality behind them, not properties so they are always in initial state when you reopen dialog.
Currently I do not know fit the setting subtree together with discriminator column is logically correct
They are related - discriminator column won't be generated:
1) if you go for sub-types implementation
2)implement all entity but "References" is set to arc implementation.

Publisher11g - no return data with a data model from logical query

Hi, i am usign publisher11g with obiee bi server autenthication.
On rpd i define a security model with a user variable, a initialization block and a where over one fact table.
When i create a answer report, bi server automatically include on the wher something like this: where user = 'name'.
Well, when i create a publisher report and try to view data from this fact table, return no data.
If i create a data model only with a dimension table, not over automatic where from bi server, the report return data.
View the log nqquery, i see that the generate query include where user ='', not include the value of a session variable.
Any idea?
Thanks.

I do have one question, is the member Balancesheet already in the outline?
Yes
**Measure
Balance Sheet
Profit and Loss**
Also in the load rule did you change the dimension load settings for the accounts dimension to be parent/child for the accounts dimension.
Field Properties -> Dimension Build Properites
Dimension=
Field 1 Measure; Type = Parent
Field 2 Measure; Type = Child
Field 2 Measure; Type = Alais
OK
Quite often people don't realize they have to double click on the dimension name to make sure it gets put as the dimension that gets changed.
I'm pretty sure your issue is it is trying to do the data load and not the dim build,but that could just be the first problem
**Click on Dimension Build Field
Click on Dimension Build setting
Dimension = Measure; Build Method; = Parent/ Child**
Please advise

Date filter is coming in physical query

Hi,
I have following problem,please help me.
1.My OBI in connecting Vertica Database through ODBC 3.5.
2.It's working fine for all report and if I give date filter condition then in physical query ,which is sending by OBI to Vertica doesn't have date filter condition:
Ex: I have Call Type,and Date as dimension table and Call Mesures as fact table
when I am selecting in answer select Call type name,measure1 for a particula Call type='Dropped'
Physical Query generated by OBI as
Select Call type name,mesure 1 from call_type_dim a,call_measures b where a.call_type_key=b.call_type_key and call_type_name='Dropped'
But when I am loking for particular calandar date(for 07/27/2009:
it's generating following query:
Select Call type name,mesure 1 from call_type_dim a,call_measures b,date c where a.call_type_key=b.call_type_key and call_type_name='Dropped' and c.calandar_date_key=b.calandar_date_key
But in logical query it's showing calandar_date='07/27/2009'
I am expecting OBI should generate query:
Select Call type name,mesure 1 from call_type_dim a,call_measures b,date c where a.call_type_key=b.call_type_key and call_type_name='Dropped' and c.calandar_date_key=b.calandar_date_key and c.calandar_date='07/27/2009'
Where I have done wrong ,please help for Oracle DB i.e OCI 10g ,it's generating correct physical query

How to change data format from MM/DD/YYYY to DD/MM/YYYY

HI,
How can we change data format from MM/DD/YYYY to DD/MM/YYYY in Prompt and Report Level in obiee 11g.
Please help me ont this.
Thanks

Hi,
In Prompt:
Try using EVALUATE function.
Eg: Evaluate('TO_CHAR(%1,%2)' as character(30),"D5.Times"."Day Date",'DD-MON-YYYY')
Report level:
Try this in the column formula-
Evaluate('TO_CHAR(%1,%2)' as character(30),"D5.Times"."Day Date",'MM/DD/YYYY')
(or)
EVALUATE('TO_CHAR(%1,%2)' AS CHARACTER ( 30 ), "Dim- Date".Start Date, 'MON-YY')

Getting changed data back from editable ALV...

Hello Gurus,
I am working on ALV using standard ALV function module REUSE_ALV_GRID_DISPLAY. Now, To make the fields editale, I am using flag EDIT = 'X' in field catalog. This working fine.
Now, when the data is changed in ALV grid and user clicks on SAVE button that I have programmed in i_callback_usercommand, how can I get the changed data back from editable ALV so that I can change data in custom table ?
Please help.
Regards,
Rajesh.

I see that the method CHECK_CHANGED_DATA is used. I am also doing it as follows. But how do I get the changed data back in table. There are no table parameters in
CALL METHOD REF_GRID->CHECK_CHANGED_DATA .
DATA: REF_GRID TYPE REF TO CL_GUI_ALV_GRID.
IF REF_GRID IS INITIAL.
CALL FUNCTION 'GET_GLOBALS_FROM_SLVC_FULLSCR'
IMPORTING
E_GRID = REF_GRID.
ENDIF.
IF NOT REF_GRID IS INITIAL.
CALL METHOD REF_GRID->CHECK_CHANGED_DATA .
ENDIF.

FWDEngineering.execute() nullpointerException when engineering from logical to physical model

Dear Community,
During the "engineer to relational model" from the logical model I got a long time the correct behaviour.
Now I get the following error in the log file: "ERROR FWDEngineering - FWDEngineering.execute()" NullpointerException
The model is not that large but contains a number of entities with sub-entities for which I set the way of implementation to generate a single table.
Test 1: Restart
Removing the model has not solved the problem for this ... (delete entire relational model)
Test 2: reset subtype implementation to default behaviour
So on the level of the super entity the following settings are set on the subtype property page:
- subtree do not preset
- No Discriminator column
- no 'use attribute' selected
- no column name set,
The model generates the foreign keys ... and gives no error.
Test 3 : setting discriminator.
Juglin' around with the properties I noticed that when after starting from test 2 and setting the property "generate discrimator" *and* selecting the name of the discriminator colomn the error can be reproduced. Currently I do not know fit the setting subtree together with discriminator column is logically correct ... but I get the stacktrace ;-)
Test 4 : can the subtree generation mode solve it -> Seems I'm not able to set it to an other value than "do not preset" anymore.
Version datamodeler is 4.0.0.833
Test 5 : Created a smaller model ... and tested if the foreign key generation in itself caused the problem. Removing the relationship with a subentity does not cause the problem to not occur ...
At this moment in time ... it seems to me I cannot set the mode to generate the master entity and its subs to one table anymore.
What am I doing wrong?
... and anyway ... there is a stacktrace ;-)
Has anyone some solution/experience with this?
For the completeness ... the stacktrace, which shows a processDiscriminatorColumn ....
Oh yes ... also for completeness: in the test with a subentity not having a relationship the method calling the processDescr... is a different one inheritancePostProcessingNew() ...
Thanks you all.

CM14 BI Publisher - modifying an existing Data Model, the Graphic View in Query Builder does not display

I am trying to edit the default forms/reports that come with CM14, trying to edit the data model, data set, (to get to the old Infomaker style graphic view) , the Query model does not display (error the list of tables is too long..) Oracle tell me the limit is 60, there are not 60 tables referenced in any CM report.
Does this Query builder view work at all on any report?
(bigger question, we are moving from CM12, should we move to CM13 which works with infomaker?)
Thanks,
Paul L

Kurt, thanks for your replies.
A couple of notes/clarifications.
1. You are correct that BI works better in Firefox--I have observed issues with the BI display when using IE. I would recommend using Firefox too.
2. You are correct about the way to get to the Query Builder to see a graphical view of data tables. There are basically two issues with this that I mentioned, but will re-iterate:
a. If you have an EXISTING query in the data set, then click the "Query Builder" button, this will remove the existing query that's there, it will NOT display the existing query in the query builder. Query Builder works only to create a NEW query from scratch.
b. Query builder is limited to selecting 60 fields max in your query. If you are creating a large report with many tables, you may find that 60 fields is not enough. For that you will have to work in the SQL edit screen rather than using the query builder.
I would impress on anyone developing CM14 reports that they become familiar with the database schema and relationships to avoid problems when developing your BI reports. You should be able to find the tables and joins documentation in the knowledgebase.

Problem in creating DATA Model from SQL SERVER 2008 in BI PUBLISHER

Hi David,
The things I said are not a fix for this problem.
If your RCU installation worked, then you do not have to worry about modifying the createfr.sql.
Edit:
I've just tracked the problem. It appears that when using the query builder, BI forgets to add the " sign.
For example:
This query will give the hyperion error.
select     "table"."field"
from     "database.user"."table"
To correct it write it like this:
select     "table"."field"
from     "database"."user"."table"

Issue in creating a custom data model from BP

Hi Team
We have a requirement to create a custom data model by copying data model BP. I have successfully created new data model ZP . I have copied the UI for searching from BP. Issue is when i search a business partner ideally it should not display any entries because i have just created the data model, But it is taking entries from BP and getting displayed. Please let me know how to map data model to search UI. I dont see option USMD_MODEL here

Hi Imran,
actually that is not an issue but a designed feature. I'm afraid that you need to re-think your whole project. The explanations is rather simple:
Data model BP in MDG is a so called Re-Use Area data modell. This means that active data (records that are currently not stored in a change request) are saved in existing SAP ERP data base tables like BUT000 for the business partner master data and LFA1 or KNA1 for Vendor or Customer master data.
If you copy data model BP to ZP you still refer to the same active area. You will always find the same active objects - no matter which data model you are actually using for the user interface. The only difference wil occur for objects being currently processed in a change request. In that case a separation between BP and ZP is possible. But this won't help to solve your issue.
From SAP side I can only recommend not to copy BP but to find a different way of integrating your project needs into BP.
Best regards
Michael

Export Master Data Model from MDM solution.

Hello,
I have been assigned the requirement to integrate our product with your “Master Data Management” solution. To be more specific, I need to import the Mater Data structure (model), from your companies MDM solution, into our product to build its table/column structure. What I am looking for is technical documentation that will help me make this possible.
Here is a list of some questions I have that technical documentation could address:
•     Does your MDM solution have the capability to export the underlying Master Data structure (model)?
•     What form is the data structure exported (db schema, data dictionary, etc)?
•     What format would the exported information be in (XML, delimited text file, SQL DDL)?
•     If the format is XML, is there an XML Schema that defines what it will look like?
•     Do you have any sample export files that I can work with?
•     Is there technical documentation that would help me make this possible?

If you want to integrate with DRM I would suggest using the API (check out the SDK). This is the preferred and supported way to inject or extract from DRM from an integration standpoint. You can also do imports/exports, for example exporting a hierarchy in XML, to a table, etc.
Directly modifying the tables is not supported or encouraged; the DRM engine enforces many rules like validations, keeps multiple versions, tracks changes in transaction logs, etc, besides the fact that the database structure can change during upgrades. Additionally, due to the dynamic configuration capabilities some things like property values are stored in a one-to-many table that may be pivoted from what you expect.

BI Publisher throwing error when creating data model from Oracle BI Answers

In the logs:
It is weird that the Logs is having a message saying that path was not found "/users/mpoler/Data Model without Title.xmd"/_datamodel.xmd
Any clue on what is going on?

Can you try using a different account to run this report, if possible use someone from a different Application role.
The last Time I saw something similar was when the integration between BIP and Analysis was done incorrectly and a few roles were missed.

Change data capture from DRM to Target system

Hi All,
I have a situation where client wants Hyperion DRM to be single source of truth and pass Hierarchy information from DRM to subscribing target systems. There are 3 target systems and the database is MS SQL server.
Now in the export profile ,I am using database export where I have mapped the DRM node/properties to target table's columns. For the initial load it is a new record in the database and the data flows as it is a 1:1 mapping, however if few of the property value changes and I wan to update only the corresponding columns what will the architecture for push the change data in to target.
Can we achieve this without have any staging tables and capture the change data ?
Do need to use ODI ?
Does DRM has any work around without putting extra effort hrs by building CDC tables ?
I will really appreciate your suggestions and comments on this......

Thanks for the quick reply. However I was trying to resolve the Change data capture in Hierarcy through as" Database Table" but it seems when we choose the DEVICE option as database in the target tab of export it can only export or insert new records into the tables but cannot update and existing record.
PLease correct me if my understnding is wrong ?????
