Data dictionary related Urgent

Dear experts,
I have created a z table with 4 fields and entered 4 records.
after this I have modified z table and added a new field zdel(for deletion flag)
and entered 2 more records.
problem is: when I mention zdel in query to fetch data, it does not consider old data.
select * from ztable into corresponding fields of table it_ztable where zdel NE 'X'.
it display only 2 records, while it should be display all the 6 records.
due to I have not marked deletion flag for any record.
Waiting for reply.;
With warm regards
Rajiv singh.

Hi Rajiv,
After any change you make to a database you have to
adjust the database..
For this you use tcode SE14, enter your table name,
select Tables, press on Edit
After you enter, press on the push button Activate and adjust database
with 'Save data' selected...
Happyy coding ..
Regards,

Select schemas from relational model on import from data dictionary option

Hi All,
I have one relational model with 3 diferent schemas,
I want to compare one of my schemas with the data dictionary I have in a database,
I select the import option in the general file menu, select from data dictionary option,
select the connection from my database,swap target model checked,select a physical model and select the objects i want to compare from the database,
My problem is that the result is the comparison between all the objects in my model and the objects in the database that I have selected,
what I really want is to compare a list of objects in my model to a list of objects in my database,
this could be possible? or always need to compare all the objects of the model?
Thanks in advance

Hi jbellver,
there is no any development in DM 3.1.0.691 on that problem. In production release you'll be able to compare objects in subview with database or just to select several objects and compare them with database. And of course "generate in DDl" filtering still can be used - it works at "Compare dialog" level.

Synchronizing Column Comments from Relational Model to Data Dictionary?

I've changed/added column comments to a table in my Relational Model. When I try to sync the changes to the Data Dictionary of the Database the new/changed column comments are never included. I can actually see that the values in the Field "Comment in RDBMS" are different in the Compare Models Preview Window but the line is not highlighted in red as I expect, in fact it is even grayed out. I also can't check the corresponding checkbox "selected".
Is there a way to get the comments to synchronize? Do I miss any option I have to set first? Ist this a bug or expected behaviour?
I'm using version 4.0.3 x64 of Data Modeler.
Any help would be much appreciated,
Charlie

Hi Charlie,
The greying out of the "Comment in RDBMS" property would suggest that you have filtered out this property for Column objects in a previous Compare.
To unset the filtering, repeat the sync, and when it displays the Compare Models dialog, select the Options tab and then the Properties Filter tab below it.
Select "Columns" in the left pane, and then find the entry for the "Comment in RDBMS" property in the right pane. The "Included" check box should be set.
You can then select the Refresh Trees button below these two panes.
If you then go back to the Details tab, any differences in the "Comment in RDBMS" property for Columns should now be highlighted in red.

How to find out the aligning Data dictionary table for a structure.

Hi
As the table controls are associated with strucures, the data input goes to the data dictionary table aligned to that structure. Is there any way we can find out the table related to that particular structure ?
Thanks,
Dhareppa

Hi,
The structure and its fields may be associated with multiple database tables.
You can try by where-used list of the structure/field and then you can look and determine the table by hit and try method.
Also as suggested above you can try get the SQL trace and then ypu can look for table associated behind the structure/fields I believe this is the best way to find the DB table.
Thanks,
Ravi

SQL remote query and data-dictionary

Hi,
We are considering the implementation of SAP Business One 2005. I've installed a demo version but in order for it to continue to support some business functions I need to perform a number of SQL queries against the data. Unfortunately I'm having difficulties in getting the answer from our reseller.
Does anyone know the answers to the following question. I'd very much appreciate some help.
1) Is there a data-dictionary document showing which tables perform which roles and the associated joins/associations.
2) Is it 'advised' to open the SAP datasource directly to perform a SELECT query to obtain the results or should a third-party tool be used?
3) Do I need the SDK if I want to perform direct SELECT queries or if I want to automate posting invoices to SAP? We have competent programmers in the company - I believe they use VB6 and VB.net.
4) Is there an example if I simply wanted to query all suppliers within SAP? (e.g. SELECT NAME FROM Supplier_tbl...etc..etc)
Any help would be very much appreciated - it's a huge application and I'm struggling a little.
Many thanks,
Gavin Russell.

Gavin,
The forum that you have posted your questions in is or questions related to the SAP Business One Integration for SAP NetWeaver. Your questions seem to be along the line of general data access to SAP Business One. You should typically post those types of questions in the SAP Business One Discussion Forum or the SAP Business One SDK Discussion Forum.
As to your questions ...
1. The definition of the SAP Business One table schema is part of the SAP Business One SDK Help Center documentation. You simply need to install the SAP Business One SDK Help and you will have it. There is not a "data dictionary" other than this documentation.
2. Typically any direct access to SAP Business One data using SQL is discouraged as if data corruption occurs as a result of it, the environment would not then be supported by SAP.
3. If you want to push data into SAP Business One, as stated, direct access to the Business One database is forbidden. You would use the SAP Business One SDK for this.
4. You can use the SAP Business One Query Manager/Wizard in the SAP Business One product which in essence is performing SQL type SELECTS for data on Business One tables.
HTH,
Eddy

List of all objects in the data dictionary

How to capture the list of all objects in the data dictionary named like PSDFDI and verify they are granted to the FDIREADR role

See the database security guide http://docs.oracle.com/cd/B28359_01/network.111/b28531/authorization.htm#BABFHBFH
Finding Information About User Privileges and Roles
This section discusses the system views that have the grant information.
The tricky part of this is that because roles can be granted to other roles the data is hierarchical.
So start with the grants made to the FDIREADR role. So referring to the doc above;
select * from role_role_privs where role = 'FDIREADR'will list the roles granted to your role.
You will want to look at ROLE_ROLE_PRIVS, ROLE_TAB_PRIVS and ROLE_SYS_PRIVS.
I suggest you walk thru the views manually to see how the information is related. Then write a test script that queries the views for you.

Slow response when query v$lock or some data dictionary

Hello,
We have a severe problem with our database performance problem. Here is the situation:
1. When query data dictionary such as v$lock from any Windows machine on the network, the performance is slow (about 3 minutes.)
2. When query v$lock directly on the server where database reside, the query come back fast (normal).
3. When query user table such as employees from any windows machine on the network, the performance is normal.
4. When query user table directly from server where the database reside, the query come back normal.
Looking at v$session_wait on the slow query, it is waiting on "SQL*Net message to client".
We have people from our network group, security group and did not find anything problem.
Thank for you help!!!

Thank for you help!!!I saw the same problem several times. All of them were related with wrong execution plan in the v$lock (and dba_locks, and others based on v$lock). For instance due to "crazy" optimizer mode FIRST_ROWS.
Also look at note 431770.1.
I suggest that when you looked at v$session_wait and saw the event "SQL*Net message to client" state of the event was not = WAITING. Please check. It means that Oracle is not waiting but is burning CPU.
Thus, please let us know - does another optimizer mode improve performance?
select /*+ all_rows */ * from v$lock;
select /*+ rule */ * from v$lock;

The ABAP Dictionary centrally describes and manages all the data definitions used in the
system. The ABAP Dictionary is completely integrated in the ABAP Development Workbench. All
the other components of the Workbench can actively access the definitions stored in the ABAP
Dictionary.
The ABAP Dictionary supports the definition of user-defined types (data elements, structures and
table types). You can also define the structure of database objects (tables, indexes and views) in
the ABAP Dictionary. These objects can then be automatically created in the database with this
definition. The ABAP Dictionary also provides tools for editing screen fields, for example for
assigning a field an input help (F4 help).
Database objects
Table
DB table
Tools
Screen
Poss. values
F4
Type definitions

Table type
Data element
The most important object types in the ABAP Dictionary are tables, views, types (data elements,
structures, table types), domains, search helps and lock objects.
BC - ABAP Dictionary SAP AG
ABAP Dictionary

ABAP Dictionary
Purpose
Data definitions (metadata) are created and managed in the ABAP Dictionary. The ABAP
Dictionary permits a central description of all the data used in the system without redundancies.
New or modified information is automatically provided for all the system components. This
ensures data integrity, data consistency and data security.
You can create the corresponding objects (tables or views) in the underlying relational database
using these data definitions. The ABAP Dictionary therefore describes the logical structure of the
objects used in application development and shows how they are mapped to the underlying
relational database in tables or views.
The ABAP Dictionary also provides standard functions for editing fields on the screen, for
example for assigning a screen field an input help.
What Information is Stored in the ABAP Dictionary?
The most important object types in the ABAP Dictionary are tables, views, types, domains,
search helps and lock objects.
Tables are defined in the ABAP Dictionary independently of the database. A table
having the same structure is then created from this table definition in the underlying database.
Views are logical views on more than one table. The structure of the view is defined in
the ABAP Dictionary. A view on the database can then be created from this structure.
Types are used in ABAP program. The structure of a type can be defined globally in
ABAP programs. Changes to a type automatically take effect in all the programs using the type.
Lock objects are used to synchronize access to the same data by more than one
user. Function modules that can be used in application programs are generated from the
definition of a lock object in the ABAP Dictionary.
Different fields having the same technical type can be combined in domains . A
domain defines the value range of all table fields and structure components that refer to this
domain.
The ABAP Dictionary also contains the information displayed with the F1 and F4 help for a field
in an input template. The documentation about the field is created for a data element
that describes the meaning of the contents of a table field. The list of possible input values that
appears for the input help is created by a foreign key or a search help .
Integration in the ABAP Development Workbench
The ABAP Dictionary is completely integrated in the ABAP Development Workbench. The R/3
System works interpretatively, permitting the ABAP Dictionary to be actively integrated in the
development environment. Instead of the original objects, the interpreters see only internal
representations of these objects.
These internal representations are adjusted automatically when the system finds that changes
have been made in the ABAP Dictionary. This ensures that the screen and ABAP interpreters,
input help, database interface, and development tools always access current data.

The following ABAP program lists the airline carriers (see Flight model )
and carrier IDs contained in table SCARR.
DATA: SCARR_TAB TYPE SCARR.
SELECT * INTO SCARR_TAB FROM SCARR.
WRITE: / SCARR_TAB-CARRID, SCARR_TAB-CARRNAME.
ENDSELECT.
Only structure SCARR_TAB is declared in the program. All the information about this
structure, such as the field names, data types and field lengths, are copied from table
SCARR, which is defined in the ABAP Dictionary. This information about table
SCARR is called from the ABAP Dictionary when the program is generated.
This means that the source text of the program need not be adjusted when a change
is made to table SCARR, for example when the length of a table field is changed.
The next time the program is called, the system automatically determines that the
structure of table SCARR has changed. The program is simply regenerated, thereby
retrieving up-to-date information about table SCARR from the ABAP Dictionary.

Tables can be defined independently of the database in the ABAP Dictionary. The fields of the
table are defined with their (database-independent) data types and lengths.
When the table is activated, a physical table definition is created in the database for the table

Intriguing Data Dictionary Query

Database table column names are limited to 30 characters (as verified by ALL_TAB_COLUMNS Data Dictionary table).
Why, then, is the COLUMN_NAME column of the ALL_CONS_COLUMNS defined as a VARCHAR2(4000)?
This is neither urgent nor business-critical to say the least but I still find it intriguing.

I saw this on Metalink once. A user was having an application problem. Apparently the app tried to get data from all_cons_columns and this caused errors. Oracle's response was that Oracle makes changes to the dictionary from time to time and this is not considered a bug. No reason was given for the column being 4000 (I think the words were that the tech didn't know of a reason for the change). Unbreakable maybe, but not immuned from the occasional typo, huh ? *grin

Data Dictionary View for Procedure Text

Hi,
Is there a data-dictionary where I can see the body of procedures. In fact, I received a request from a collegue to give him the procedure name which access a table "table_1".
So, my idea is to write a query as follows:
SELECT <procedure_name> FROM <data_dictionary> WHERE <text> LIKE '%table_1%'.
Thanks in advance.

You can try with DBA_SOURCE or USER_SOURCE.
i.e.
SELECT NAME FROM DBA_SOURCE
WHERE OWNER='<OWNER NAME>'
AND TYPE='PROCEDURE'
AND TEXT LIKE '%table_1%';

Comments not imported from Data Dictionary of SQL Server. SDDM 3.3.0.747

Hi,
SDDM 3.3.0.747 32-bit on Windows 7 64-bit.
Comments are not imported from Data Dictionary of SQL Server 2008. Connection through Microsoft JDBC Driver 4.0 for SQL Server or jTDS 1.2.7
What I have tried? In SDDM DDL generation, Comments in DBRMS for SQL Server are generated with "EXEC sp_addextendedproperty 'MS_Description' , 'Test Comment' ..." so I added extended property named "MS_Description" into SQL Server database, both on table and column. None of them were imported from Data Dictionary into SSDM. I have tried both drivers stated above. Is it a bug or am I missing something?
I've found similar question thread Re: Data dictionary import doesn't import column comments for SDDM 3.0.0.665, so I guess it is a bug when importing with JDBC drivers.

Extended properties were not imported correctly from SQLServer databases at DM 3.3.0.747.
Calls to sp_addextendedproperty and fn_listextendedproperty have been modified.
I don't think it is a problem with JDBC drivers.
A bug fix should be available in the next release of DM.

SQL modeler can not import from data dictionary

It was very frustruted to see that the SQL Modeler hang in import from data dictionary of a database as part of revise engineering. I have to question myself if sql modeler is a serious tool and should I give up.

I am not sure if Data Modeller is still in Beta./Production. First couple off initial versions of a new product are normally buggy.
Regards
Alternatively, If this product is still in Beta, then you can contact the development team or report the issue so that they can take care of this issue in next beta release.
