Data modeler - exporting domains

Excuse this probably dumb question but is it possible to export to ddl the domains created and used in the relational model?
I've created a model and generated the ddl but I cannot generate the database objects due to the references to domain items embedded in the ddl.

Hi Holger,
Sql Developer Data Modeler - is it still a separate product? Or is it only available as integrated within Sql Developer?Standalone version is here http://www.oracle.com/technetwork/developer-tools/datamodeler/overview/index.html
2. After opening a model created with Data Modeler 2.0 with the new integrated Data Modeler 3.0 I lost all my domain definitions. What can I do to avoid this? Any help would be appreciated.Copy file defaultdomains.xml from DM 2.0 installation to "sqldeveloper\sqldeveloper\extensions\oracle.datamodeler\types" directory (if you use version in SQL Developer) or to
"datamodeler\datamodeler\types" if you use standalone DM 3.0.
Location of this directory can be set in preferences - it's called system types directory there - it contains: default domains, RDBMS sites, logical types and custom scripts.

SQL Developer Data Modeler Viewer - domain datatypes

I'm using the SQL Developer Data Modeler Viewer (that comes free with SQL Developer) to view a model that was created in Oracle SQL Developer Data Modeler (the chargeable product). The colums have all been defined using domain datatypes. I have an XML file defining the domains but I cannot see where in the viewer you can import a domian file into or where in the model's directory structure the file can be placed to be read by the viewer. Without this the columns are all showing as datatype 'Unknown'.
Any help much appreciated, thanks.

two set of domains can be maintained in Data Modeler:
- per installation - they are in file defaultdomains.xml in "datamodeler\domains" directory
- per design - they are in "domains" directory under your design directory -
"Per installation" domains are used in your case - "per design" domains are "attached" to design - when you send the design to someone else, they are in design structure.
Your solution - to get defaultdomains.xml file from installation where design is created and to put it in your "datamodeler\domains" directory.

Data Model Exporting - MDM to Erwin or another data model tool

I would like to export the latest MDM physical data model in production to any erwin modelling tool or any othe data modelling tool

To export the schema of an MDM repository to an XML file:
1. In the Console Hierarchy tree, right-click on the MDM repository whose schema you want to export and choose Export Repository Schema from the context menu, or select the tree node and choose Repositories ® Export Schema from the main menu.
If the top-right pane is currently displaying the list of MDM repositories, you can also right-click on the repository in the grid and choose Export Schema from the context menu.
2. Click Save to close the dialog and export the schema.
Schema files are stored in XML format in a user-defined location using a user-defined filename. The file contains the schema definition only; no table or field content.

JDevoloper Data Modeling have "domains"

I use to use Oracle Designer several years ago to do data modeling. I am now using JDeveloper, which is nice to have one tool. I liked the feature in designer where you could create "domains" for different types of entity attributes. I don't seem to see that feature in jDeveloper, or it seems rather "hidden" if it exists.
Anyone know?

this is a long way if you build it up for the first time.
first you have to make sure that have your BI activated all things about 0HCM?
And you have to make sure about which sourcesystem/client that "Human Resources" are now working on?
or you are a new guy on BI field?
answer my 3 question first then I can start to show you how

Data modeler, error when exporting to csv files

hi, i have a relational model and i need to export this model to csv files, when exporting the model it errors,
displaying the following error nmessage:

the issue is a file is missing when exporting proccess is done, the file is DM_CommentsRDBMS.csv, this file contains the commens of columns.
Thanks.

Hi,
I logged bug however information is not enough to locate the problem.
You can use export to reporting schema in order to get your model exported - in database in that case.
We are not going to extend "export to CSV file" functionality any further - it'll be as it is now.

Data Modeler version 2.0.0 - Export to reporting schema error

Hi i have the Oracle SQL Developer Data Modeler version 2.0.0 installed.
When i try to export one diagram to the reporting schema, i get the following error : "Error occurred while exporting to Reporting Schema.See the log file for details".
The log file has no errors.
The repository owner is DBA.
The connection is ok.
Can you help me?
Thanks in advance
Paolo.

Sorry for the log. I looked at the one at the bottom of the window, i didn't know of the one in the directory.
I purged the log and i tried again with an account with only connect,resource privileges.
At the bottom of the message you'll find the log.
The java.exe points refers to the one in the java directory of the data modeler (i downloaded the one with Java included).
Thanks for the answer
Paolo.

SQL DM - Copy/Export data models - bug?

SQL DM - Copy/Export data models - bug?
I am using SQL DM 3.0.0.665. I need your thoughts on following.
We used saved as/export of the SQL DM copy the model into another location. We kept our models in harddrive as folder. We did not store it in database.
We opened the copied model from target model. We found all the links to defined domain was lost. We find the data type shows as Varchar2 instead of Varchar2(20)etc. It creates error on sql.
Why are loosing the domain definition/linkages during export/save as option?
Is it a bug?
Did anyone face such issues?
What is the workaround?
Thanks in helping us out.

Hello,
Thanks for your reply. I followed the steps. I did copy the folders/files as Kent suggested.
As we installed the SQL developer on new desktop, it showed the domain definitions as unknown and count as 1 in Design Tree --> domain node. We copied all the xml files under C:\datamodeler\datamodeler\types folder of Desktop A to Desktop B. It brought all the domain definitions of Design in Desktop A.
Why does it not keeping this domain definitions as part of Design folders?
If we copy or save as the design , then domain also cane be saved as part of design. It will be difficult to make a sync of datamodels among multiple desktops.
How do we establish a shareable/sync data models using SQL data Modeler on such situations?
Thanks in helping.

Questions on Subviews and Import/Export in Data Modeler v3 EA1.

I have a few questions about the capabilities of Data Modeler v3 EA1:
1) Is it possible to rename subviews? Would like more meaningful names then Relational_x - Subview_x.
2) Is it possible to save documents at subview level?
3) Is it possible to import/export subsets of data?
4) Having problems importing Erwin 7 .xml file, is there known problems with this import?
Judy

Hi Judy,
1) To rename a subview just right click on it in the browser tree and select "Properties". In the properties dialog change the name and click OK button.
2) You can save a subview as new Data Modeler design - from the File menu select Export -> To Data Modeling Design. In the newly opened dialog select the subview you want to export and click OK button.
3) After saving a subview as new design (see answer #2) it can be imported in some other design (File -> Import -> Data Modeler Design).
4) What kind of problems do you have with import of Erwin 7.* xml file?
Regards,
Ivan

Data modeler in 2.1 - how to export metadata

How do you do an export in the 2.1 EA for the data modeler? I..e do a 'bottom up' model?
The documentation is written for the standalone datamodeler, file-import/export. How do you do it in 2.1?
Edited by: Bazza on 27-Oct-2009 03:54

Hi,
standalone Data Modeler is cost option. Data Modeler Viewer is bundled into SQL Developer 2.1 - it's free. You can do following with viewer :
1) Open designs created with Data Modeler - it's in read only mode
2) Visualize tables and object types from SQL Dev browser when there is no open Data Modeler design - select tables/views on SQL Developer browser tree and drag them on relational model window - FK are imported if parent table is among selected or already is imported; for object types - they should be dropped on Data Types model window. This works for Oracle and SQL Server - we are going to support it for all databases supported by Data Modeler (including JDBC import). And you can do some rearrangement of tables but the rest is in read only mode - no additional import/export.

Domains usage in SQL Developer data MODELER

Hi,
I'm trying to understand how to use Domains in Oracle SQL Developer Data Modeler. We use version 3.1.3 . before I used Toad Modeler where domains are just part of your main design.
Oracle data modeler has some different concept.
let's assume I'm working on 2 designs: DesignA and DesignB that include relational models.
DesignA and Design B should use domains but list of domains in design A is very different than in design B.
Default domain file is located on c: drive where SqlModeler is installed. It is obviously unacceptable , so I need to change Default System Type directory in preferences.
And of course I want to have different domain directories for DESIGN A and DESIGN B.
So when I open design A then I changed Default System Type directory let's say to x:\AAA. Then i close design A and open Design B and change Default System Type directory to x:\BBB
I checked folders AAA and BBB and they have necessary XML files there: defaultdomains.xml, defaultRFDBSSites and so on....
Now questions:
can I rename defaultdomains.xls to something else like AAAdomains.xls? Domain administration can edit any domain file with any name , but how can I associate certain domain file with my design? My wish , when I open my design , then corresponding domain file will be open automatically. Is it possible?
If I open 2 designs in Sql Modeler and switch between designs then corresponding domain files should be changed automatically as well. Currently I shouldn't forget to change default System Type directory every time when I switch models. Is it the only way to handle it?
Thanks
vitaliy

Hi Vitaliy,
We use version 3.1.3
I recommend always to use the latest version. If you don't want to use beta (DM 4.0 EA is out) you can use DM 3.3.
Otherwise Oracle SQL Developer Data Modeler supports two types of domains:
1) DM installation domains - those in file defaultdomains.xml
2) Design level domains - they are stored in design directories and are visible to particular design only. They can be created in following ways:
2.1 Manually - there is a property "Domains file" and you id it's not set "defaultdomains" domain will become design level domain and will be stored in file with provided name (without .xml extension)
You can change later the file for design level domains, however you cannot change file for domain already in defaultdomains.xml.
2.2 Using types to domains wizard you can generate design level domains
2.3 Design level domains are created during import of DDL files (controlled in preferences)
2.4 You can import domains from specific file with domains using "File>Import>Domains" - you need to rename the source file if it's named defaultdomains.xml otherwise you'll get domains as installation domains
If the list with domains is too long you can define a list with preferred domains (or/and logical types) in "Preferences>Data Modeler>Model" and you can use shorter list in Table/Entity dialog if check "Preferred" check box next to "Type:" combo box.
If I open 2 designs in Sql Modeler and switch between designs then corresponding domain files should be changed automatically as well
If you open 2 designs in one instance of DM they will use the same file with default domains i.e. you'll lose domains in one of design depending of setting for "system data type directory". You need to go with design level domains.

Domains and Logical Types in Data Modeler

Been out of serious design work for a long time. Can someone provide a good pointer to descriptions on Domains and Logical Types and presented in the Data Modeling tool?
For instance I am having trouble tracking the following distinctions:
Domain Logical Type
LongText Varchar
ShortText Char
Text Char
NText NTEXT
NVarchar NVARCHAR
CHAR and VARCHAR are listed as Logical Types but not Domains. There is a TEXT logical type, but ironically, it does not correspond to the Text Domain. Varchar2 appears in neither list. I believe I ready the N* domains/types are for international characters (multi-byte?), but basically see no pattern here so was hoping someone could straighten me out.
Thanks,
Robert Kuropkat

Hi Robert,
Logical types are abstraction for native data types in supported databases. You need logical types if you want to import from database or DDL script (mapping of native to logical is important here) or want to generate DDL script (mapping of logical to native). You can delete all logical types (only "unknown" has importance) and create your own logical types. In this case you have to map them to native database types. If you use only Oracle database then you can delete types related to other databases. Of course you can rename existing logical types if you don't like how they are named.
Domains are based on logical types - you need logical type in order to have valid domain definition. Provided domains are just sample. You can delete them - the only important here is "unknown". You can create two types of domains (it's usage point of view) - 1) per installation - common for all designs; 2) per design - they appear only for design they are defined. You also can import domains.
Also domains are automatically created during import of DDL script - it's kind of data type aggregation - domain is created for each used data type.
Best regards,
Philip

Import / Export MySQL database in SQL Developer Data Modeler

Hello,
I have version 3.1.2.704 of SQL Developer Data Modeler and version 3.2.09 of SQL Developer installed.
When I´m adding a new connection in SQL Developer, I can choose the MySQL tab an create a connection to a MySQL database.
The connection test was successful and I can see all tables.
I use the same JDBC driver for SQL Developer and SQL Developer Data Modeler (mysql-connector-java-5.0.4-bin.jar).
But there are two problems.
1. First there is an problem when I want to import from a MySQL database (SQL Developer -> File -> DataModeler -> Import -> DataDictionary).
After choosing the MySQL connection and pressing the next button an error occurs: CONNECTION_TYPE
What is the reason?
2. In SQL Developer Data Modeler I have not the CONNECTION_TYPE problem. But when I want to export DDL, there is no MySQL type selectable, although there is working connection to the MySQL Database. It´s the same in SQL Developer.
What is the reason?

Hi,
Data Modeler does not explicitly support import from MySQL databases, although you can use a JDBC connection to do this.
Philip described how to set this up in forum message How to connect mySQL for reverve engineering
There is no MySQL tab in Data Modeler - you should use "JDBC-ODBC Bridge" - "other third party Driver".
Set URL like : jdbc:mysql://localhost:3306/database_name
driver Class: com.mysql.jdbc.DriverAlso Data Modeler does not support generation of DDL for MySQL.

Export/Report on dynamic properties in SQL Data Modeler

I'm thinking of using dynamic properties to hold meta-data in SQl Data Modeler, but I can't find a way of exporting or reporting on this info once I have created it.
Am I missing something?
Regards,
John

John,
you can download DM 4.0.1 - dynamic properties can be included in custom report templates and into generated reports.
