Clean up all test data

Hi all,
HOw ya'all? My collegues and I have been loading data to our BWQ system to test our extraction process individually. Now i want to clean up all this test data from all over the system(master data, ods,psa cubes etc) and start loading QA data systematically in order to run integrated data load test.
Every time i try to clean up the data from one of these data containers i get msg like
The data cannot be deleted coz it has already been loaded to other infoproviders.Do u really want to deleted the data and all the associate settings. If u do so, u need to set up those setting all over again.
And some other msgs that i do not remember at his moment.
What i need is structured and sequential steps to clean up the data completely in the system. Can anybody help?
Thanks,
Prathibha.

Hi,
Start deleting data from highest level.
i.e. Infocube->Ods->masterdata objects.
It is require to delete the data from all the associate objects . Relation can be easily find out by data flow and where used list in case of infobject.
Hope it helps.
Regards,
Aditya

I have a new mac book, I have loaded all my old data on it via time machine. I want to now erase all that data so it is back to a new data free computer. it has yosemite, how do I remove all the data???

I want to erase all the data I loaded onto my new macbook pro yosemite. I want to have it cleaned of all the data photos etc I have loaded so it is like a new computer again. I already have all this data on a hard drive so I don't need to back the data up.???

Install or Reinstall OS X from Scratch
Be sure you backup your files to an external drive or second internal drive because the following procedure will remove everything from the hard drive.
Boot to the Recovery HD:
Restart the computer and after the chime press and hold down the COMMAND and R keys until the menu screen appears. Alternatively, restart the computer and after the chime press and hold down the OPTION key until the boot manager screen appears. Select the Recovery HD and click on the downward pointing arrow button.
Erase the hard drive:
1. Select Disk Utility from the main menu and click on the Continue button.
2. After DU loads select your startup volume (usually Macintosh HD) from the
      left side list. Click on the Erase tab in the DU main window.
3. Set the format type to Mac OS Extended (Journaled.) Optionally, click on
      the Security button and set the Zero Data option to one-pass. Click on
      the Erase button and wait until the process has completed.
4. Quit DU and return to the main menu.
Reinstall OS X: Select Reinstall OS X and click on the Install button.
Note: You will need an active Internet connection. I suggest using Ethernet if possible
           because it is three times faster than wireless.

Had to have my hard drive "cleaned." Now everything I try and do is a mess. All my data on my iPhone was deleted. I'm trying to figure out how to find it. I can't update my apps. Always asks for my PW, but tells me it's wrong....HELP!

I recently had to have my computer hard drive "cleaned." While this was going on, I broke my SG3, and now own an SG4.
I also changed servers for the internet. When I tried to plug in my SG4, after not being on iTunes for some time, all my data was erased.
No every time I try and do ANYTHING, it asks for my PW.....which is ALWAYS WRONG.....though I've reset it over and over and over.
I want my data back (contacts, pics, etc.). But I can't even maneuver around iTunes any more.
How in the **** do I get someone from iTunes to give me assisstance for the myriad of problems for which I am encountering. This is a CLUSTERF.....
HELP!

There is no such thing as an "SG3" or "SG4". Did you possibly mean a 3GS and iPhone4?
It has always been very basic to ensure that a backup exists of your media and other important files. Computers fail, hard drives crashes... things happen. Do you not have a backup? The iPhone, like all iDevices is NOT a backup of your media, but rather a mirror of the content in the iTunes library on your computer.
If your contacts, pics, etc are not on your computer, no backups of the iPhone exist, and they are not on the phone, they are gone.
No one can magically make them re-appear.

How to generate test data for all the tables in oracle

I am planning to use plsql to generate the test data in all the tables in schema, schema name is given as input parameters, min records in master table, min records in child table. data should be consistent in the columns which are used for constraints i.e. using same column value..
planning to implement something like
execute sp_schema_data_gen (schemaname, minrecinmstrtbl, minrecsforchildtable);
schemaname = owner,
minrecinmstrtbl= minimum records to insert into each parent table,
minrecsforchildtable = minimum records to enter into each child table of a each master table;
all_tables where owner= schemaname;
all_tab_columns and all_constrains - where owner =schemaname;
using dbms_random pkg.
is anyone have better idea to do this.. is this functionality already there in oracle db?

Ah, damorgan, data, test data, metadata and table-driven processes. Love the stuff!
There are two approaches you can take with this. I'll mention both and then ask which
one you think you would find most useful for your requirements.
One approach I would call the generic bottom-up approach which is the one I think you
are referring to.
This system is a generic test data generator. It isn't designed to generate data for any
particular existing table or application but is the general case solution.
Building on damorgan's advice define the basic hierarchy: table collection, tables, data; so start at the data level.
1. Identify/document the data types that you need to support. Start small (NUMBER, VARCHAR2, DATE) and add as you go along
2. For each data type identify the functionality and attributes that you need. For instance for VARCHAR2
a. min length - the minimum length to generate
b. max length - the maximum length
c. prefix - a prefix for the generated data; e.g. for an address field you might want a 'add1' prefix
d. suffix - a suffix for the generated data; see prefix
e. whether to generate NULLs
3. For NUMBER you will probably want at least precision and scale but might want minimum and maximum values or even min/max precision,
min/max scale.
4. store the attribute combinations in Oracle tables
5. build functionality for each data type that can create the range and type of data that you need. These functions should take parameters that can be used to control the attributes and the amount of data generated.
6. At the table level you will need business rules that control how the different columns of the table relate to each other. For example, for ADDRESS information your business rule might be that ADDRESS1, CITY, STATE, ZIP are required and ADDRESS2 is optional.
7. Add table-level processes, driven by the saved metadata, that can generate data at the record level by leveraging the data type functionality you have built previously.
8. Then add the metadata, business rules and functionality to control the TABLE-TO-TABLE relationships; that is, the data model. You need the same DETPNO values in the SCOTT.EMP table that exist in the SCOTT.DEPT table.
The second approach I have used more often. I would it call the top-down approach and I use
it when test data is needed for an existing system. The main use case here is to avoid
having to copy production data to QA, TEST or DEV environments.
QA people want to test with data that they are familiar with: names, companies, code values.
I've found they aren't often fond of random character strings for names of things.
The second approach I use for mature systems where there is already plenty of data to choose from.
It involves selecting subsets of data from each of the existing tables and saving that data in a
set of test tables. This data can then be used for regression testing and for automated unit testing of
existing functionality and functionality that is being developed.
QA can use data they are already familiar with and can test the application (GUI?) interface on that
data to see if they get the expected changes.
For each table to be tested (e.g. DEPT) I create two test system tables. A BEFORE table and an EXPECTED table.
1. DEPT_TEST_BEFORE
     This table has all EMP table columns and a TEST_CASE column.
     It holds EMP-image rows for each test case that show the row as it should look BEFORE the
     test for that test case is performed.
     CREATE TABLE DEPT_TEST_BEFORE
     TESTCASE NUMBER,
     DEPTNO NUMBER(2),
     DNAME VARCHAR2(14 BYTE),
     LOC VARCHAR2(13 BYTE)
2. DEPT_TEST_EXPECTED
     This table also has all EMP table columns and a TEST_CASE column.
     It holds EMP-image rows for each test case that show the row as it should look AFTER the
     test for that test case is performed.
Each of these tables are a mirror image of the actual application table with one new column
added that contains a value representing the TESTCASE_NUMBER.
To create test case #3 identify or create the DEPT records you want to use for test case #3.
Insert these records into DEPT_TEST_BEFORE:
     INSERT INTO DEPT_TEST_BEFORE
     SELECT 3, D.* FROM DEPT D where DEPNO = 20
Insert records for test case #3 into DEPT_TEST_EXPECTED that show the rows as they should
look after test #3 is run. For example, if test #3 creates one new record add all the
records fro the BEFORE data set and add a new one for the new record.
When you want to run TESTCASE_ONE the process is basically (ignore for this illustration that
there is a foreign key betwee DEPT and EMP):
1. delete the records from SCOTT.DEPT that correspond to test case #3 DEPT records.
          DELETE FROM DEPT
          WHERE DEPTNO IN (SELECT DEPTNO FROM DEPT_TEST_BEFORE WHERE TESTCASE = 3);
2. insert the test data set records for SCOTT.DEPT for test case #3.
          INSERT INTO DEPT
          SELECT DEPTNO, DNAME, LOC FROM DEPT_TEST_BEFORE WHERE TESTCASE = 3;
3 perform the test.
4. compare the actual results with the expected results.
     This is done by a function that compares the records in DEPT with the records
     in DEPT_TEST_EXPECTED for test #3.
     I usually store these results in yet another table or just report them out.
5. Report out the differences.
This second approach uses data the users (QA) are already familiar with, is scaleable and
is easy to add new data that meets business requirements.
It is also easy to automatically generate the necessary tables and test setup/breakdown
using a table-driven metadata approach. Adding a new test table is as easy as calling
a stored procedure; the procedure can generate the DDL or create the actual tables needed
for the BEFORE and AFTER snapshots.
The main disadvantage is that existing data will almost never cover the corner cases.
But you can add data for these. By corner cases I mean data that defines the limits
for a data type: a VARCHAR2(30) name field should have at least one test record that
has a name that is 30 characters long.
Which of these approaches makes the most sense for you?

Clean-up all data that did not match with the selection.

Hi Everyone,
In my requirement I need to Clean-up all data that did not match with the selection from my internal table lt_cdpos.....in this case wat can i use like.'Refresh' or ' Clear' or 'DELETE ADJACENT DUPLICATES FROM lt_cdpos'.
Pls suggest me...

Hi Meenakshi
Try delete lt_cdpos where kunnr NE KUNNR (from selection screen) .
Before Checking <condition> make sure both comparing field type match with each other.
You can use FUNCTION 'CONVERSION_EXIT_ALPHA_INPUT' for append leading zeros in compare condition before comparing kunnr from selection screen

I sold a ipad 1.. I did a reset and cleaned out all data.. however, the new owner tells me when he connects to itunes it is asking for my password. how can i resolve this without giving him my password

I sold a ipad 1.. I did a reset and cleaned out all data before shipping to him. however, the new owner tells me when he connects to itunes it is asking for my password. how can i resolve this without giving him my password? will a hard reset take care of this?

Have the purchaser go to Settings/Store, tap your Apple ID and then choose Sign out.
The purchaser will then need to tap Sign in and enter their own Apple ID for their iTunes account.

When copying raw files from Extreme IV card to hardrive, finder copies a few files then exits task and wipes the card clean of all images.

When copying raw files from Extreme IV card to hardrive, finder copies a few files then exits task and wipes the card clean of all images. Have tried new card and card-reader to no avail. Have done this many times on other macs with no problems.
Can edit files off the card, in CameraRaw, prior to 'copying' them, ie can 'save as' to the hard drive, so files seem okay on card, before I try to copy them using copy and paste.
Running OS 10.8.3 on a new macbook pro.

Rita,
The process for determining what is causing the files to be corrupt can be a tedious one depending on the following:
1. Can you review the images on your camera's LCD screen without problems? If not then the problem is most probably either a corrupted/faulty memory card or a faulty camera. If this is the case then your best bet at recovery (of sorts) is to use a program such as BrezzeBrowser from BreezeSys to extract the embedded jpeg versions of the corrupted RAW files from within each RAW file. Chances are, you won't manage to actually repair the corrupted RAW file but the jpegs are better than nothing.
2. If the images review ok on your camera but are corrupted when viewing on your computer and there seems to be no other problem with other files on your computer then it may be either a faulty card reader or usb/firewire cable between the card reader and the computer that is the culprit. Try the card reader with a different cable and also try a different card reader to determine the cause of the corruption.
3. If your symptoms are that you get different files corrupting over time when viewing them on your computer then the problem may be any one of either failing RAM memory, hard disk, hard disk controller or IDE/SATA hard disk cables. This is where the troubleshooting can be pretty tedious testing then eliminating each item from the list of suspicious pieces of hardware. Try the card and card reader on an altogether different computer to see if the files transfer correctly to that computer. If so then the problem lies with your computer hardware. If you haven't already done so at this stage, backup all your important data immediately (hopefully you keep backs anyway).
Hope this helps.

Cartridge alert message, but all test pass

Probems with my HP Photosmart Prem C410a. After changing cartirdges, I received an error alert, regarding the photo black cartridge. Went through all the steps from the HP center including new cartlidge, thinking the other new one was faulty. Using all HP cartridges. Ran all tests, print quality-good, printer status report, network test everything reported good. Reinstalled the software, ran the print test from the software installation and it worked. BUT it will not work when I send a job from my computer. Somewhere I read something that said when their is a cartridge error message it can not print. I have reset, restarted both computer and printer. I know the printer can work fine, color is all good etc but I can not get the error message light off on the printer display and it won't take the print jobs from my Dell computer, windows 7. Help would be appreciated. thank you.
GMaga

Hi GMaga,
I'd like to help you with this photo black cartridge issue. This might sound silly so bear with me.... is the cartridge you purchased to replace the photo black a photo black? I only ask because often times a customer will quickly grab a black cartridge and accident get the wrong one.
Because you said you were able to print test reports from the printer and the issue seems to be printing from the computer, I suspect you probably have the right cartridge and maybe the issue is just the computer playing tricks on you.
I think the best approach would be to run the Print and Scan Doctor. The Print and Scan Doctor diagnoses and helps resolve common printing, scanning, and connectivity problems, including:
Connectivity :
USB: Verifies that the USB connection from your computer to the HP product is working correctly.
Network: Verifies that the network connection between your computer and your network is working correctly.
Device Status Test : Checks for device errors such as out of paper, paper jams, carriage stalls, and paper feed issues, and then provides instructions for fixing the error.
Driver Check : Checks for missing or corrupt driver files.
Device Manager : Checks for problems in Device Manager that would prevent printing.
Device Online : Checks if the product has been paused or set to offline, and then sets the status back to online if necessary.
Print Queue : Checks for and clears pending print jobs in the print queue (a log of print jobs waiting to print).
Port Match : Checks the port settings for the HP product.
Device Conflicts : Checks for conflicts with other drivers, such as other printer brands.
Ink Issues : Checks the cartridges and ink levels for issues that affect print quality.
Print Settings : Checks and adjusts the print quality settings.
Test Print : Prints a test page for print quality evaluation, and provides options for cleaning and aligning the printhead if necessary.
Scan Tests : Checks the scan mechanism, drivers, and registry entries.
You can also click the Printer menu to find the additional features such as cleaning printheads, aligning printheads, checking ink levels, and viewing advanced printer data for your selected printer.

How do i delete all my data from the ipad 4 from my PC?

I know what my password should be but when I made it I guess I put it in wrong. so basically, I don't know my password. I tried putting it in but now everything is disabled and it says "connect to itunes" . now I just want to restore it but everytime I try restoring it, it says "The iPad software update server could not be contacted." "Make sure your network settings are correct and your network connection is active or try again later." This happened last night and ive tried about 30 times. the method I have been using is disconnecting the USB, turning the iPad off, then turning it back on while the USB is plugged back in. After that it says "connect to itunes" on the iPad. So what should I do now? I just got it for Christmas and I don't mind all the data being erased cause its not hard to put back on. so PLEASE just tell me how to do it. I also never synced it to my computer. so PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE help me! And if you could tell me, how much would it cost to bring it into apple and they unlock it for me? id rather not do this, but if I have no choice, I will.
PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE AND THANK YOU!!!!!!! :S
#PLEASEHELP

For more secure reason, I'd suggest to double check whether the data is removed cleanly with Erase All Content and Settings. The data is still recoverable as my pass experience. And no all devices are capable of using this method. Privacy is much more important. I highly recommend this method instead to permanently delete everything on your iPad by overwriting random digits to existing data. And there is no chance to get those data back.

Not able to change the data of test data containers in production system

Dear All,
We have created eCATT scripts in Development SolMan System and moved the transports to Production SolMan System. Customer wants to change the data at Test data containers and run the scripts in production system but we are not able to edit the data.
May be the reason is SCC4 transaction code has set the below option.
Changes and transports for client-specific Objects
u2022 No changes allowed
Customer doesnu2019t want to change the above option and wanted to change the test data containers to give different datau2019s and run the eCATT scripts.
Could you please let me know the solution for this?
Your help is really appreciated.
Thanks,
Mahendra

eCatt has the feature where you don't need to transport the scripts or test configuration to our target system. We can keep all our scripts and test data in Solman and run this script any other system in your landscape using the System data container and target system.
Maintain the production as one of the target system in System container in Solman and point that system while running the script. Change the test data in Solman to run this script.
Let me know if you need more information
thanks

APEX_ITEM on Interactive Report losing all the data.

Hi!
I'm having some troubles with some apex_items on interactive report.
The problem happens when i save the interactive report with apex_items and a validation in some of the items fail then i lose all the data entered.
I made i test application to you guys see the problem and try to solve it.
URL: http://apex.oracle.com/pls/apex/
The scheme is Sn4k8
User: guest
Password: 123654g
To see the application: http://apex.oracle.com/pls/apex/f?p=20135:1:
The application is Interactive Report Example / Page number 1
A example to test is type on the fields values and then type a start date bigger then the end date this is cause a validation error and you will see all your data entered lost.
I tryed to find something on the web but i could not find nothing if you guys know something to help post it.
Regards,
Ismael Filipe
Edited by: Sn4k8 on 25/03/2010 12:26

I think there is a solution with java or pl/sql.
Try to use the example application and type values in the fields and then type "d" at some date. This will cause a exception and will redirect to a apex erro page, if you click at "ok link", you will come back to the interactive report page and you will see that all your data remains intact.
I think there is a solution...

Please give me idea now I compile all branch data in head office only new r

Hi master
Sir I have 5 office In different city and one head office in Karachi all branch have same oracle system my question is how I get new data and compile for accumulative reporting
I want only new record and modify record not old record
Old record already I import
When I use oracle import and export tool that no give me right result
If xxx table exists in database then import tool not replace and no insert or no replace with previous data with new modify data
Such as
First time
V_no=897 have debit amount 3998 is Islamabad branch and i export form Islamabad and import in Karachi office
Next time
Islamabad office change v_no=897 debit amount with 76555 and add many new record
I export form Islamabad and import in Karachi office but system no change and not add new record in Karachi office
Please give me idea now I compile all branch data in head office only new record and modify record
Thanks

Here a very simple example with table EMP, assuming source table has a primary key. Firstly you create a materialized view log on source table (necessary for fast refresh) :
SYS@db102 SQL> conn test/test
Connected.
TEST@db102 SQL> create materialized view log on emp including new values;
Materialized view log created.
TEST@db102 SQL> then at destination DB/user :
TEST@db102 SQL> conn scott/tiger@test10
Connected.
SCOTT@test10 SQL> create database link test
2 connect to test identified by test
3 using 'db102';
Database link created.
SCOTT@test10 SQL> create materialized view emp_mv
2 refresh fast
3 as select * from emp@test;
Materialized view created.
SCOTT@test10 SQL>Now emp_mv is the exact copy of emp. To refresh the MV, to reflect changes :
SCOTT@test10 SQL> exec dbms_mview.refresh('EMP_MV','F');
PL/SQL procedure successfully completed.
SCOTT@test10 SQL> ...but I strongly recommend you to read the documentation...

How Can I go Back to Leopad and sill keep all my data, e-mails etc.

Hi
I installed SL on Sept 3,2009. I'm a new Mac user so all I had was TM Backups which I still have. After SL install I have had lots of problems and a couple of days ago My system already failed and would not start. Called Apple, they said I had to re-install my OS. If that was the case I said I wanted to go back to Leopard, I was told use the leopard install disk and use disk utilities to locate the last Leopard TM backup and restore from that point and from there I was told I could recover all my Data, e-mails from Sept 3, 2009 the point of recovery at the time Sept 15/2009.
When I called back in after recoving to Sept 3/2009 for help in my data etc to Sept 15/2009 I was told I had been given bad advise, and that was not possible. So I have had to re-install SL and get back my data and e-mails etc to today. You can imagine how frustrating all this has been.
I'm now back on SL with all my Data, emails, etc but still experiencing many problems, and what I'm reading on this site makes me nervous that the worst is yet to come. My Tm seems to have double the amount of stuff and is a mixture of Leopard and SL backups. Is there a way of now going back to Leopard and then retrieving all my Data, form TM or from the other stuff I have saved? I have made copies of Mail, itunes, Documents, Safari, and I have all my pictures on my PC I have not added any since converting from my PC in early July. If I knew where they were I'd make a copy of them as well. I know there are a lot of smart Mac users out there so I'm hoping someone knows of a way of doing this, and can explain it it easy steps of a novice user. If there is someone from Apple out there reading this given the problems with SL I have had, and the bad advice on how to recover, some accurate, detailed instructions on how if possible I can get back to Leopard with all my data, it would sure be nice to hear from you.....

I rolled back a system from OS X 10.6.0 to OS X 10.5.8 via the Archive & Install (non-preserve) and it was successful. Now it didn't have any 3rd party applications installed. It just had the default OS bundled applications, iLife '09 and iWork '09. So that could have assisted in my success, I'm unsure how successful the process would have been if there was a lot of 3rd party framework modification. Although most of that would have been wiped clean in the Archive & Install, thus negating the problem.
Personally, I'd be more inclined to have you copy the contents of your Home folder (minus the Library) onto an external HD and manually reimport after a clean install of Leopard. The problem with that, however, is you'll lose Safari bookmarks, iCal data and Address Book data. So for something like you'd need to manually dig through the appropriate Library folders.
Are you near a Genius Bar? It might be worth visiting them and asking them for some assistance. I know when I worked there I was always outwardly accommodating when the issue was caused by inappropriate information that led you in the wrong direction from the start.
