Create sequence from Data Modeler?

Hi,
I started using SQL Developer Data Modeler to model my first APEX application, but there are one thing I don't understand.
From the logical model, I can create all my application model, but I don't find anywhere I can define thath my PK must be populated from a squence.
From APEX is a step in the wizard, creating the sequence and trigger, but If I model from Data Modeler, then, I "loose" this important feature common to mostly all my table objects.
There are something I'm missing?
Regards.

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

Choose File Form Data Create Spreasheet From Data Files

I am following the tutorial for LC 8 and when I get to the topic titled "Collecting the data in a spreadsheet" it says to "Choose File > Form Data > Create Spreadsheet From Data Files".
However, when I try to follow that path I do not see a "Form Data > Create Spreadsheet From Data Files" menu option.
What am I not doing properly? How do I accomplish this task?
Thanks!

Thank you so much Paul. I have been trying all day to locate the method by which I could create a spreadsheet using the pdf submit route. I suppose the tutorial in CS4 should have been changed to reflect the changed explanations, but I guess that would be difficult to do. Anyway it worked and I can now do the analysis I need from my customers (lots of pupils!).
Best wishes,

Creating spreadsheet from data files

Why do I get the numbers in square brackets e.g. f[0].p1[0].Name[0], when I collate data using the 'Create spreadsheet from data files' command. I only want to export object names as column titles in Excel. This driving me mad!

I got the same problem as Zali.I really need some one help regarding regarding this topic.

Creating a logical data model in BPA 11g

Hi,
Can we create a logical data model in BPA 11g? If we can do that can it be moved over to the BPM environment seamlessly. I was under the impression that during the modelling exercise a business analyst would develop process models and logical data models in BPA & the turn it over to IT developers who will pull these models in and develop the implementation. Is that how it works?
Thanks.

You can create a logical datamodel in BPA suite. The sample applicaton has an example of that: the quote to cash datamodel. There are different types of datamodels that you can create (business objects, entities etc).
Examples of datamodels can be found in the sample: OBPA Release 11. quick start.
The datamodels can't be imported I think, the process models can. You can either import them into Oracle BPM Studio (as executable BPMN) or into Oracle SOA Suite (transforms it into BPEL) with JDeveloper.

I am getting a strange message from Data Modeler Viewer when I try to shutdown SQLDeveloper.
I have not used data model viewer, but on shutting down sqldevloper I get

Create printouts from data submitted in a form.

Long story short:
I'm looking to set up a system that automatically creates a document from data submitted in a form. So imagine I type "Jason" in the name field, "Orangutans" in the favorite animal field, and when I click print I'm presented with an A4/Letter document that says "my name is Jason and I love Orangutans" and the background is covered in cute orange apes. Where do I start?
Long story long:
I work at a computer store and due to my experience with Adobe products* I've been tasked with creating all the signage in the store. I've been doing all the signs for a year now and now we have a bunch of different signs that need printing every day. The most in-depth and time-consuming ones for me are signs for Trade-In computers. Unlike new computers, the specs are always different based on the particular model we buyback from the client. There are all kinds of fields that are different in each case.
As it stands, I have an illustrator file with all the information in the right place, and when a computer comes in I take all the specs, fill in the right boxes and unhide the image layer so I get an image of the corresponding model on my document. This takes considerable time, and means the process is specific to me, i.e if I'm not in the store, the computers don't get put up for sale beacuse we can't add a spec/price sheet.
What I want to do is automate the process so that anyone in the store can make these signs. All they will have to do is fill in a form (online or locally) that asks for model, year, RAM, HDD, etc**. Then when they click submit it returns a completed sign that they can print and put up next to the computer.
I'm not entirely sure how to accomplish this. I've looked at Adobe's free online FormCreater***, and I like the simple data output that it creates. However, I'm uncertain as to my next steps. I imagine I'll need it to send the results to a computer with blank templates for the Trade-In computers. It would then need to populate the applicable fields and automate all the work I usually do.
Where should I start? I'm willing to learn anything to get this working.
Thanks,
Jason
*Illustrator, Photoshop, Flash, inDesign
**Total of ~18 text and 4 image fields need to be changed per sign.
***http://www.adobe.com/ca/products/acrobat/form-creator.html

I'm willing to learn anything to get this working.
Excellent! Right attitude.
Where should I start?
With my favorite "graphics program": FileMaker Pro. (Yep. My favorite graphics-project tool is a relational database program.)
You see, you've discovered something that graphics people are discovering with increasing frequency all the time: Your project is not a graphics problem. It's a data problem.
Note how little of your problem has to do with graphics. Emphasis mine:
...we have a bunch of different signs that need printing every day.
the specs are always different based on the particular model
automate the process so that anyone in the store can make these signs
All they will have to do is fill in a form (online or locally)
an image of the corresponding model
See if this scenario sounds appealing:
You have on your computer a single file, named TradeIns. You or one of your authorized users doubleClick it. It opens to a nicely organized form that is completely self-explanatory; requires absolutely no training to use.
It's completely idiot proof. The user doesn't have to know anything about any graphics program. He can't break anything.
Consistency is maintained because everything that can be automated is. Dependency intelligence is built in. Popup menus limit data entries to legitimate choices (ex: Models). Subsequent data entry choices are automatically filtered based on data already entered (ex: RAM configurations limited to those possible for Model). User prompts and hints (highlighting, event-driven messages, tooltips, data validation, etc.) make sure that all required information is entered.
When the data entry is done, the user clicks a button labeled Print Preview: A3 Poster. The display automatically changes to a pre-defined A3 formatted layout with all the data graphically styled (Headline, descriptive blurb, bullet list of features, price, etc., etc.), the company logo and contact info in place, and a graphic of the appropriate model appears in the background. The user clicks a button labeled Print Poster. Next to it, by the way, is a button labeled Email Poster To...
If you want, you can enable up to five people concurrently to access and interact with the solution in their web browsers from anywhere. So the data entry can be performed by staff members who logon (according to access priviledges you define and control down to the individual field level if need be) in the office, from home, or even on their iPhone. Multiple users can enter/edit data at the same time.
It's 2:00 Tuesday when Customer leaves with his new machine. You clean up his trade-in a little; put it on the display shelf. Pull out your iPhone and take a photo of it. Tap the specs in. The data, including the photo, are simultaneously entered into the database. You lock the door and go home at 5:00, confident that a formatted sales flier of "Just Arrived" trade-ins will be automatically emailed to your mail list before you get home.
You, having admin priviledges, can add to, alter, elaborate upon the functionality (ex; add an automatic price calculator) anytime you need, with no downtime on the system.
How difficult, time-consuming is this?
Once the requirement details are nailed down, and the raw beginning data for populating values lists is provided, an intermediate level FileMaker developer could build the above-described solution and have it up and running, ready for data entry, in less than a day, easy.
Cost? $500 for one copy of FileMaker Pro Advanced. That's it. (And...*achem*...it's not rented; it's a normal perpetual license.) And with it you can build an unlimited number of other data-driven solutions for your business. You can even bind them as fully-functional standalone applications which you can distribute without royalties.
Based on what you've described so far, the solution's starting data schema would be very simple:
Create a new database with three related tables:
Models
Trade Ins
Specs
The fields for each table would be something like this:
Models
Model ID (primary key; text; unique)
Model Name (text)
Brand (text)
Image (container)
Trade Ins
Trade In ID (primary key; text; computer's serial number)
Model ID (foreign key; text; value list)
Specs
Spec ID (auto-enter serial number)
Model ID (foreign key)
Trade In ID (foreign key)
Spec Name (value list)
Description (text)
You'd have two Layouts (screens): Data Entry and A3 Poster. You could build as many additional Layouts to display whatever combinations of the data you want for as many purposes as you may encounter. Export to PDFs or Excel spreadsheets any time. Build automated reports with live graphs, use conditional formatting, automate with scripts, etc., etc.
Marvelous program. Every business should have it.

Can't create connection with Data Modeler 2.0.0 570

I have installed SQL Developer Data Modeler on my Windows Vista Home Premium system and am unable to create a connection to import a Data Dictionary. When I select TNS from the connection type dropdown list , I get a message below that states: 'Warning ORACLE_HOME environment variable is not set'.
This is odd, since I use SQL Developer daily on this same system with no issues. I have checked with regedit and the ORACLE_HOME environment variable is indeed set.
Any ideas?

I ran into a similar where Data Modeler was finding the TNSNAMES.ORA file for the older Oracle 8i client (which I have to keep installed because some older legacy software depends on it) rather than the 10g client. My solution was to make use of a suggestion for a simialr problem with SQL Developer and create a DOS "cmd" file in the "+<data modeler install dir>+\datamodeler" directory that sets the ORACLE_HOME environment variable to my 10g client directory and then runs "datamodeler.exe". My file is named "datamodeler.cmd" and contains the following two lines:
SET ORACLE_HOME=C:\oracle\product\10.2.0\client_1
start datamodeler.exe

Calling a User defined function from Data Model in BIP

I am new to Procedures and Functions and am not sure if I am doing it right, so please bear with me.
My User Function:
create function MyTempFunction(@master_key varchar(max))
returns VARCHAR(MAX)
begin
DECLARE @Names VARCHAR(8000)
SELECT @Names = COALESCE(@Names + ', ', '') + vndt.name
from
[CMPROJ].[dbo].[VNDT] as vndt,
[CMPROJ].[dbo].[CRQT_QUESTION_DISTRIBUTION] as CQD
where CQD.parent_key=@master_key
and CQD.project_name=vndt.project_name
and vndt.initials=CQD.distributed_to_ini
return @Names
endIf I call the function in my query window I get a result:
"Ron Swanson, Anne Perkins"
But if I put the same query into my Data Model in BI Publisher and try getting the XML Output, my data is blank.
This is how I call the function:
select top 1 dbo.MyTempFunction('98d4dfa893164d138d5f961fa4') as Names from dbo.[CRQT_QUESTION_DISTRIBUTION]And I know that BIP did access the function, because the first time I tried to save the new SQL Query, it threw an error saying it was denied access to the function and I had to add the user to be able to execute the function.
I am new to doing Procedures and Functions, so I am not sure if I am even doing it right.
And don't know if even calling procedures or functions works form BIP.
Any help appreciated.
Thanks

Thanks for the suggestion, but I still get nothing in the XML result set.
I enabled some extra logging in the bipublisher.log file and I get an error:

Extra zeros in numeric fields when I create spreadsheet from data files

I created a form with Live Cycle, and then in Adobe I use the option "create a spread sheet from data files" to import the answers to a xls file.
I have two problems with this action: the first one is that I get 8 extra zeros in each numeric field, the second one is that fields are ordered by type and not by appearance.
I tried a different approach importing directly in Excel, in that way there are no extra zeros and the order is correct, but I get just one form each time, and in a "stairways" fashion (i. e. first field in A1, second in B2, and so on)
I'd appreciate any help

Where do you find the command "create a spread sheet from data files"?
Anyway i have a similar problem: when i export data in a .csv file and than i import it in excel, i always get 8 extra zeros... how can i solve the problem?

Oracle BI Publisher no columns loaded from data model

Hello Guys,
I use Oracle BI Publisher 11g. Have created a data model by using
the JDBC thin connection to a 11g database. The creation of the data model
worked fine using a SQL query. Now in the report creation wizard, I select
the "guide me" option to see how nice the wizard is.
The problem comes here, on the second window I should select the columns
but I only read "no columns available". Why is that?

Hi Metalray
For BIP report sample XML data is importent. with sample data you cannot generate the BIP reports.
Follow the below steps, you can achieve your expected BIP output
After crating data set in the data medel save the data model then click on
--get XML output option on right side of the top-corner.
-- then selet no. for the nuber of rows to return dropdown option,
--then click on Run. Then save the sample data by clicking on Save as sample data option.
--then it will take you to the data model page, now again save the data model
--and use it for creating the reports.
Now you were able to see the available columns in the the second window of guide me option
please mark if it helps you..

Best practice - creating functions in data model vs. rtf template

Just a general question. Is there a best practice of creating functions in the data model vs. creating the functions in the data template?
For example, is it more efficient to sum two fields in my SQL query or to create a function in the template that sums the two fields? Just curious if there is any performance benefit of one over the other.
Thanks!

anything you push it to DB(SQL), will be the faster than processing outside.

How can I print, save or export from Data Modeler

From Oracle SQL Developer I select Tools > Data Modeler, then drag a few tables on the surface. Both Print and Save options in the File menu are disabled. Also, there's no export option. What is the purpose of Data Modeler. I', using SQL Developer 2.1.0.63.

It's Data Modeler Viewer included in SQL Developer 2.1. You need SQL Developer 3.0 or 3.1 EA1.

How to print ERD from Data Modeler Tool

Hello Everyone,
I have an oracle 10g DB and I want to create its ERD. I was able to export the tables using Data Modeler tools but I cannot find the option to arrange these table on pages and then print them. How can I do that? It's a very basic requirement and I am sure it must be here somewhere but I can't seem to find it.
Regards,
Afraz Ali

Hi Afraz,
there is no support for arranging tables on pages. For printing - use "File>Print" or "File>Print Diagram".
