Data Modeler hangs

I'm using the SQL Developer Data Modeler, and when trying to save my work with "Save as" or "Save" (I've tried both) the program hangs. Has this happened to anyone? What is the workaround? This never happened to me with the Early-Adapter version.
Thank you.

Hi,
same with me here. I downloaded and installed datamodeler-2.0.0-570.zip. I am unable to "save" , "save as" or use the "open" dialog. As soon as I select one of these menu items datamodeler hangs and can only be stopped using the task manager.
I had datamodeler running as a single application but it still hangs when I try to save or open a file.
Version:
Windows XP Service Pack 3 (Build 2600.xpsp_sp3_gdr.090206-1234)
Is there any workaround ?
Regards
Ernst

Data Modeler still hangs

Hi,
since the first thread 'Data Modeler hangs' is marked as answered. I try a new one. I still had this problem that modeler hangs when trying to open or save a file.
I played around and found following solution which works for me :
Download data modeler with JRE and install it. If the modeler hangs when trying to open a file, edit datamodeler.conf file and set javahome manually e.g.:
SetJavaHome C:\Program Files\OSDM2.0\datamodeler\jdk
It seems, that the standard setting during installation for JavaHome does not work under all circumstances.
I am on Windows XP SP3 on a locked down PC

Thanks for the help Ivan & Philip - made the change to 4GB RAM in the conf file but that did not solve the problem.
Process
1. Open view properties
2. Click Test Query button - works fine
3. Click Query button to edit query. Query builder never opens - monitor shows 100+ % CPU. Have to do force quit to close.
Reverse - same thing
1. Edit query 1st - no problem
2. Test query - after db connection dialog - the test never execute. 100+% CPU again.
I can edit as many view queries as I want and it works fine.

SQL Data Modeler on MAC consumes lots of CPU but still hangs

Running data modeler version 3.1. on mac 10.7.3 - 64 bit both. Mac has got core i7 processor with 8Gigs or RAM, so no shortage of resources here.
Got mail open as well as normal SQL Developer exploring the database tables and running queries. So plenty resources still available.
I 'm experiencing intermittent conditions where I'm editing a card or entity properties and then developer goes into a "go very very very slow strike" mode. It consumes 99% CPU with average 40 threads running and approx 400 megs of memory consumed.
It then takes for ages to respond to any inputs on the commit/cancel/apply buttons - more than 10 minutes! I once tried the "Force Quit" option - bad bad mistake. It lost all the task bar option - only had the "file" option on the task bar left!
Anybody experienced the same or with a solution to this ?

SQL Data Modeler bugs (or only misused?)

Hi,
I think I ran into some modeler bugs and missing features ...
BTW: is there a place where all the known bugs are listed?
* although "no action" was selected in "General Options - Model - Relational" for foreign keys all the foreign keys are created with
"not deferrable" (well, why not, if it makes the modeler happy) and
"on delete set null" (thats not what I'd call "no action")
* DDL statements for indexes lack the schema name
* newly generated foreign relations are not always displayed in the relational model
* DDL preview for syncing physical model with relational does not (always) work (well - so far it worked once)
steps taken: File - Import - Data dictionary, selected objects for import, correct target model chosen, "swap target model" checked
* foreign keys in unique constraints are always set to "not null" (in logical and physical model)
* no trigger/constraint created for ARCs (I am not sure about this, but IIRC I did not see anything making an ARC really work)
Or do ARCs simply not work yet?
* modeler hangs sometimes (e.g. when opening "Save as" dialog etc.)
* dialogs are opened outside visible pane when the position of monitors is changed (the dialogs seem to remember their last position)
* sequences (physical model withing relational model) are loosing their user
* missing multi schema capabilities :-(
* the layout capabilities - pardon my french - suck
Especially that the boxes and lines seem to wander around from one usage to the next (entities aligned with grid - next start the entities are no longer aligned).
And if you ever need to save/export the model somewhere else all the references stick to a single connection point.
Not to mention a simple move of a box ...
Thank you for your effort

Hi Philip,
sorry for not answering quite a time ...
Just some prerequisites ;-) ...
- Target database: Oracle 10g R2 (10.2.0.4)
- Modeler version 2.0.0 build 570
- model creation method: logical model, relational model, (physical model), Database objects
- OS WindowsXP German, SP3
- JDK Sun Java 1.6, build 1.6.0_16-b01
* nullable FK column in unique keys
meanwhile I found out, how to achieve that - but IMHO the steps to take are quite cumbersome
1) make a FK relation with "target optional" checked on the Cardinality page of the FK properties
2) open entity properties, check attributes of FK column (it says: nulls allowed - the checkbox cannot be changed)
3) got to unique identifiers page and add a unique identifier
4) open the unique identifier property dialog and add the foreign key
5) close both property dialogs
6) reopen the entity property dialog, check attributes of FK column (it says: no nulls allowed - the checkbox cannot be changed)
7) check the FK properties: it still says: target optional (it is checked)
8) check the graphical representation of the FK key: dashed line at target entity (meaning: optional)
9) create the relational model: the FK column is created with "not null"
10) go back to logical model
11) change FK property to: target mandatory (uncheck "target optional")
12) create relational model
13) change FK property to: target optional (check "target optional")
14) create relational model
15) SUCCESS! the foreign key column is now nullable
BUT: you never ever must change ANY of the entities properties or you must redo steps 11 to 15
* "no action" of FKs
I will look into that. Thanks for the suggestions.
* DDL statements for indexes
Sorry for being imprecise ... I was talking about automatically generated indexes (for unique and foreign keys).
Those don't show up in the index listing of the tables in the physical model (probably, because they are automated).
But why do I have to set the default schema for indexes again? The tables get the schema information for the default schema (General Options - Model - Physical) but not the indexes :-(.
Generated DDL snippet:
CREATE TABLE ZCBC1ST1.ZCBRAGIT_AGENDAITEM ( ...
CREATE UNIQUE INDEX ZCBSAgIt_U1X ON ZCBC1ST1.ZCBRAGIT_AGENDAITEM ( ...
Same for FK indexes. And the unique index property page in the physical table section does not let me specify a schema owner (OK for me, because the unique key is created by an "alter table" statement).
* ARC trigger
My bad - I only checked "DDL preview" of the table, which doesn't show the ARC trigger. The complete generation does. Sorry.
* "missing multi schema capabilities" and "sequences loose owner"
Please excuse a newbie blush.
I just found out I can change the table owner using the physical model capabilities (I guessed I used way too long PowerDesigner V6 ;-) ).
BUT ...
The newly created user does not "survive" a "save all - close all - open" sequence on "Physical Models" ... only closing the app or saving the Oracle10g physical model makes the user persistent.
And also ... if the new table or sequence owner is the first in the drop down list on the property dialog, the user is replaced by an automatically created new user (e.g. User4, User5, and so on).
Example:
* I have three defined users and the standard "MDSys" and "Public".
* My three users are named ZCBC1ST1, ZCBCCore and ZCBCDial (those names are because i need to follow naming rules).
* ZCBC1ST1 is my default physical model user, which was set in "General Options"
* ZCBC1ST1 is the first in each drop down list.
* I have some sequences named Seq1, Seq2, Seq3 and Seq4
* Seq1 was given to ZCBC1ST1, Seq2 to MDSys, Seq3 to ZCBCCore and Seq4 to ZCBCDial
* saved and closed the Oracle10g physical model and reopened it
* Seq1 now has User4, but the other have still the users they were attached to
The same applies to tables - I am unable to give a table to the first entry of the user list.
Solution I found to this problem ...
1) remove the default physical user in "General Options" (and never ever set it again)
2) create a explicit user (with the name of the prior default user)
3) manually reattach all objects to this user sigh
4) so far not a problem with automatically generated indexes, because they don't use the default user anyway
* newly generated FKs not shown in relational model
I had this odd behaviour several times.
1) Logical model: adding a new FK relation
2) giving the reference-column a pretty relational name
3) generating the relational model
4) rather often the new column shows up in the relational model but the arrow for the new foreign key does not.
5) only after i open the properties dialog of the missing foreign key the arrow is shown in the model
6) happens often to sub-models - less often to the top-model
* model syncing (Oracle10g with modeler)
As Ms. Harper stated in one of her posts (and she even made a video tutorial IIRC) it should be possible to sync a Modeler model with the Oracle10g contents.
AFAIR the tutorial showed only how to sync the model with the contents but not vice versa.
I tried to achieve this checking the "swap target model" check box (that's the important thingy) of the import dialog. Everything worked fine besides there is only a preview of DDL statements available but no "Merge" or "Create DDL Statement". And exactly that preview doesn't seem to work anymore. No matter what objects I select, I am unable to see any DDL statements to upgrade the Database.
I don't know why, but it worked again just before. I will keep an eye on this. ;-)
So much for now ...
Thank you for your effort

How to maintain order of execution of the Queries in Data Model

Hi,
I have 5 queries in the Data Model
Query_1 will fetch some values based on the selection criteria and inserts values in a table(say Table_1) using a formula column
The other queries will fetch data from DB using the records in Table_1
The problem now i am facing is Query_2|Query_3|Query_4|Query_5 is being executed before Query_1
How can we maintain the order of execution
Any help will be appreciated
thanks
siva

No there is no join between Q_1 and other queries
all the queries are individually hanging in the data model
moreover we cannot have a Master-Detail kinda relasionship in this case
please give me some suggestions

Migrate Data action hanging migrating from sql server to Oracle 10g

Hi,
I am currently migrating a SQL Server 2005 db to Oracle 10g using SQL Developer 1.2.1. I have created the migration repository, captured the SQL Server db objects, and created the target schema. There are about 109 tables captured. During Data migration, however, the data move hangs. I have run the data move a couple of times now and it does not hang while migrating any particular table, but seems to be more to do with the length of time it is taking to migrate. Could this be an issue with SQL Server connections being lost? The SQL Server db is quite large. Row counts of 100k plus.

Probably. There is an offline option for migrating data under the migration menu. Generate Scripts for the data move using the appropriate converted model and u can export the data to bcp export files and load it with teh generated SQL Loader scripts.

Excel Workbook with Excel Data Model stored on SharePoint - daily refresh

I'm not sure if this is exactly the right forum but I'm hoping that someone here can either answer or point me in the right direction.
I have an Excel Workbook with an Excel Data Model.
The Excel Data Model uses SQL to contact our data warehouse and pull through data into tables.
We are storing the Workbook on a SharePoint site and viewing it using Excel Services.
The data in our data warehouse is updated daily and so I would like to refresh the workbook daily and remove the option to refresh the data in the browser.
Is this possible with a workbook that has an Excel Data Model (I've seen lots of posts that relate to workbooks with connections to tabular models).
Thanks
Paul

Issue while creating Data Model in BI Publisher and logging into xmlpserver

Hi All,
We are facing an issue in OBIEE 11.1.1.5.
If we are logging with Non Admin Id (other than weblogic) and select New Data Model, a blank screen is coming. Where as, if we use Admin Id, we are getting screen as usual for creating data model. There were some blogs mentioning to change Priviledges for SOAP access, but that approach is also not working.
Further, we are also not able to open xmlpserver with Non Admin Id.
Any help or pointers would be great.
Regards,

how about pasting the content of your data template here, so that forum members can see what could be the problem.

2) In options to manage the Table report (Reports -> Manage). Currently I can only remove a heading (like Descriptions Notes ,columns,column comments.). Is there is any way to customize the report in such a way that I can remove some columns (mostly the empty ones) from the report and add the column comments along with the column table than a new column comments table.
Please let me know ,is there is an option to customize the report .
Note: I even tried generating the report using the search then report , but it doesn't give a complete report (i was only able to generate a report on column or table name or constraints , not all together.)
Thanks,

Can "trigger" management be addressed in the data modeler?

Please add an easier way to add/modify triggers.
I reverse-engineered my model into the data modeler and my triggers all migrated correctly to the model but, for the life of me, had no idea how to view, modify or create triggers. After extensive research, I found that they can be accessed in the left-hand Browser by drilling some 8 levels to view the triggers for each table - why? Why can't this functionality be added to properties context menu for the table. I'm not a big advocate for triggers but if I need to work on one, the current methodology is tedious at best.
Of course, if there's some other way to do this, please inform...
Accessing Triggers via the Browser
Design -> Relational Model -> APEX_DEMO -> Physical Model -> Oracle Database 11g -> Tables -> ACTIVITY_LOG -> Triggers

Thanks Joop and Phillip...
While I occasionally use SQL Developer, I currently use PL/SQL Developer (Allround Automations) as my development tool of choice and bringing a 3rd tool as SQL Developer into the mix, makes no sense to me.
I completely agree that managing a trigger via a development tool is much easier but one occasionally wants to quickly add a trigger either manually or via a template and this is not easy currently.
While functions, procedures, package, etc. are all important to a data model, the existence of most triggers are completely dependent on a table and are a critical component in any model that uses them. The ability to access and modify them easily in Data Modeler is important and shouldn't be an afterthought as is perceived here. If trigger access cannot be added to the Table Properties (as noted in the image below), at the very least, please provide a shortcut methodology to do so.

Not able to save a newly created Data Model in BI Publisher.

Hello everyone,
I was trying to create a new Report (my very first report) in BI Publisher. I created a new Data Model and a Data Set. But I am not able to save the Data Model and thus not able to proceed to the report. There's no error shown. Same happens with reports too.
Kindly provide me with a solution.

You should have a group called 'XMLP_ADMIN' in your repository and administrator or the user you are using should be part of that group. Look into paint.rpd for all these.

Table or view does not exist - Data Dictionary Import Wizard(Data Modeler)

Hi All,
In Data Modeler, Data Dictionary Import Wizard, I'm able to connect to database.But while going to the second stage (Select Schema/Database), I'm getting an error "ORA-00942: table or view does not exist".
I am able to select the table with select * from all_tables and I can open many tables as well.
Could anyone tell me, whether I'm missing any privilege, that causing this error.
Thanks in advance for you support.
Thanks.

Copy data models and reports from BW 3.1 to NW 2004s

Hi experts,
Our client has two BW servers: BW 3.1 and BI 7. BW 3.1 contains lots of data models and reports. And the BI 7 server is newly installed.
Now we want to copy these data models and reports from BW 3.1 to the new BI 7 server. Are there any solutions for this?
Thank you very much in advance.

Hi Frank,
Sounds like a cross version transport is needed.
This is a solution we have used to do what you want to do:-
Create and release a transport as per normal.
Copy and transport the files from the source system (BW 3.1) e.g /usr/sap/trans/data & /usr/sap/trans/cofiles to the same folders on the target system.
Basis help is needed here.
From here onwards using stms_import should help you in the normal manner.
Works a treat.
Have transported the following all correctly appearing as 3.x data models in NW2004s.
DSO objects.
Cubes
Transfer/Update rules
Reports.
Cheers,
Pom

Some observations on my first use of Data Modeler Beta

First of all, I can see this tool has a lot of promise.
I hope Oracle keeps at it, it could turn into a real winner if all the features I see being worked on mature.
Thanks!
Here are a few observations on things that I found non-obvious or tedious to do.
1. When designing an entity, I want to give it a name, a definition, attributes and keys. I want that process to be quick and require the minimum amount of mouse-clicking/navigation fiddling as possible. The current way of defining the attribute's datatype and size is painfully slow. I have to click to get a pop-up. Then I have to click to choose from a set of categories. Then I have to click on a dropdown list. If I try to use the down-arrow on the dropdown list, it works, but not if I go past the one I want. The up-arrow won't take me backwards in the list, so more clicking. It's just a nasty, slow interface to do a simple task that I have to do a thousand times in a data model. If I need to change the size of something, back I go thru the entire process all over again.
That makes it doubly slow to work in the most natural way, which is to list the attributes and the datatypes, then come back and refine the sizes once the model is maturing and relatively stable.
2. Adding an additional attribute requires a mouse click instead of a down-arrow. That means I have to take my hands off the keyboard to add a new attribute. Maybe there is some short-cut key that does that, but I have better things to do than memorize non-standard keyboard mappings. Make the down/up arrows works as they should.
3. Adding the comment that describes the attributes is not quite as slow, but still requires more keystrokes/mouse movements than it should. It's hard enough to get developers to document their attributes, don't discourage them.
4. I can't see the list of attributes, data types, sizes, key/mandatory settings, and the comment at one time while editing the entity. Makes it harder to grasp what all the attributes mean at a glance, which slows down the modeling and the comprehension of an existing model.
5. All the entities I created had primary keys with columns in them. But when I tried to have it build a physical model, it complained that some relationships had no columns in them. For the life of me, I couldn't figure out how to fix that. Never had that problem in any other case tool.
6. Getting it to generate DDL was awkward to find. Make it something obvious, like a button on the toolbar that says "Generate DDL".
7. Apostrophes in the Comments in RDBMS are not escaped, so the generated DDL won't run.
8. For the ease of use/speed of use testing on high-volume key tasks, make the developers do the task 1000 times in a row. Make them use long names that require typing, not table A with columns c1, c2 and c3. Long before they get to iteration 1000 they will have many ideas on how to make that task easier and faster to do.
9. Make developers use names of things that are the maximum length allowed. For example, for a table name in oracle, the max length of the name is 30 characters. The name of one testing table should be AMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMZ. That's a capital A followed by 28 capital M's and a capital Z. For numbers, use the pattern 1555559. If the developers can't see the A and Z or 1 and 9 in the display area for the name in the default layout for the window, they did the display layout wrong. For places where the text can be really long, choose a "supported visible length" for that field and enter data in the pattern AMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMQMMMMMMMMZ, where Q is placed at the supported visible length. if the A and Q don't show, the layout is wrong.
10. SQL Developer has quite a few truly gooberish UI interaction designs and I can see some of that carrying over to the Data Modeler tool. I really recommend getting a windows UI expert to design the ui interface, not a java expert. I've seen a lot of very productive windows user interfaces and extremely few java interfaces suitable for high-speed data entry. Give the UI expert the authority to tell the java programmers "I don't want to hear about java coding internals - make the user interface perform this way." I think the technical limitations in java UIs are much less than the mindset limitations I've seen in all to many programmers. That, and making the developers use their code 1000 times in a row to perform key tasks will cause the UI to get streamlined considerably.
Thanks, and keep up the good work!

Dear David,
Again thank you for your valuable and highly appreciated feedback. Find included a more elaborated answer to your observations:
*1. When designing an entity, I want to give it a name, a definition, attributes and keys.*
In the new Early Adopter Release, a "SQL developer like" property window has been added for Entities and Tables. For each attribute/column you will have the ability to add name, datatype, Primary Key, Mandatory and comment from one and the same screen
*2. Adding an additional attribute requires a mouse click instead of a down-arrow.*
An enhancement request has been created
*3. Adding the comment that describes the attributes is not quite as slow, but still requires more keystrokes/mouse movements than it should.*
In the new Early Adopter Release, a "SQL developer like" property window has been added for Entities and Tables. For each attribute/column you will have the ability to add name, datatype, PK, M and comment from one and the same screen
*4. I can't see the list of attributes, data types, sizes, key/mandatory settings, and the comment at one time while editing the entity. Makes it harder to grasp what all the attributes mean at a glance, which slows down the modeling and the comprehension of an existing model.*
See former answers. For meaning of attributes you can also use the Glossary and Naming Standardization facilities: see Tools Option menu, Glossary and General Options for naming standards
*5. All the entities I created had primary keys with columns in them. But when I tried to have it build a physical model, it complained that some relationships had no columns in them. For the life of me, I couldn't figure out how to fix that. Never had that problem in any other case tool.*
A Bug report has been created. Issue will most probably be solved in the nexr Early Adopter release
*6. Getting it to generate DDL was awkward to find. Make it something obvious, like a button on the toolbar that says "Generate DDL".*
An enhancement request has been created.
*7. Apostrophes in the Comments in RDBMS are not escaped, so the generated DDL won't run.*
A bug report has been created
*8. For the ease of use/speed of use testing on high-volume key tasks, make the developers do the task 1000 times in a row. Make them use long names that require typing, not table A with columns c1, c2 and c3. Long before they get to iteration 1000 they will have many ideas on how to make that task easier and faster to do.*
I aplogize, but I don't understand clearly what you want to say with the use/speed of use here.
*9. Make developers use names of things that are the maximum length allowed.*
Our relational model is for use for not just Oracle, but also DB2, SQL Server and in the future maybe other database systems. Whicjh means that we can't taylor it to just one of these database systems. However you can set maxinum name lenghts by clicking right on the diagram and select Model Properties and here you can set naming Options. Here you can also use the Glossary and Naming Standardization facilities: see Tools Option menu, Glossary and General Options for naming standards
*10. SQL Developer has quite a few truly gooberish UI interaction designs and I can see some of that carrying over to the Data Modeler tool.*
Fully agree. As you will see in our next Early Adopter release we have started to use SQL Developer like UI objects.

Can we use session variables in BI publisher's Data Model SQL Query?

Hi Experts,
We need to implement Data level security in BI Publisher 11g.
In OBIEE we do so by using session variables, so just wanted to ask if we can use the same session variables in BI Publisher as well
ie can we include the where clause in the Data Models SQL Query like
Where ORG_ID = @{biServer.variables['NQ_SESSION.INV_ORG']}
Let me know your views on this.
PS: We are implementing EBS r12 security in BI Publisher.
Thanks

Read this -> OBIEE 11g: Error: "[nQSError: 23006] The session variable, NQ_SESSION.LAN_INT, has no value definition." when Creating a SQL Query using the session variable NQ_SESSION.LAN_INT in BI Publisher [ID 1511676.1]
