Data Modeler : Modifying the Table Report layout

Hi ,
I'm using SQL Data Modeler (DM) 4.0 EA .
I used the File -> reports option to generate the reports on Table and in the report
1) I couldn't see the column data type ? (Refer below table ) , Is there any options to bring on the Data Type in the Report ?
No

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,
Srinivasan.K

Thanks for the immediate reply.
I checked on the DM again, the report comes good for the one which has the data type . But now all my data type changed to UNKNOWN and lokks like ,due to this my table report is coming without the "Data Type".
Can you please help me in fixing this unknown data type issue ?

Not displaying the data in to the table..wht is the issue

I have problem for the displaying the RFC Model object date in to the table.
I have created the Table in the view, Then i have choosed the "create binding" option in the outLine window to map the perticular RFC model object to the Table to display. The data is not displaying in the table . But the RFC model object contains data. when i am trying to display with MessageMaganger.reporSuccess(). it is diplaying the data.
Can any one tell me what is the issue.

First, in your view layout in NWDS, look at the tableview, do you see fieldnames in the columns and rows. If so, then I believe that you have bound correctly.    Also, in your executeBAPI method, make sure that it looks something like this.
    public void executeBapi_Gl_Acc_Getlist_Input( )
    //@@begin executeBapi_Gl_Acc_Getlist_Input()
    try{
         wdContext.currentBapi_Gl_Acc_Getlist_InputElement().modelObject().execute();
    catch (Exception ex)
              ex.printStackTrace();
<b>    wdContext.nodeOutput().invalidate();</b>
    //@@end

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?

Writing commands to get specific data channels in the output report via script or automated script generation..

In my project I have to make certain calculation and then get the data plotted in the given report template. I am using automated script for this. My script is doing all the calculations and then it not selecting and drag-dropping the selected channels on the report template. Its saving the blank report template.
I am struggling to get the data for specific channels plotted by using the script. I need the selected channels to be plotted on this report template and then get it saved.
Any help will be deeply appreciated. Thanks
Solved!
Go to Solution.

Hi LaxG,
Brad is absolute right. It is possible to create your whole layout via script.
If you have loaded the example report layout you can copy these lines to create a new line in your plot. This is the recommended object oriented way.
call Report.Sheets("Blatt 1").Objects("2D-Axis1").Curves2D.Add(e2DShapeLine, "anyName")
Report.Sheets("Blatt 1").Objects("2D-Axis1").Curves2D.Item("anyName").Shape.XChannel.Reference               = "[1]/Zeit"
Report.Sheets("Blatt 1").Objects("2D-Axis1").Curves2D.Item("anyName").Shape.YChannel.Reference               = "[1]/Geschwindigkeit"
For performance reasons it's recommended to use the it like this.
dim oLine
set oLine = Report.Sheets("Blatt 1").Objects("2D-Axis1").Curves2D.Item("anyName").Shape
oLine.XChannel.Reference               = "[1]/Zeit"
oLine.YChannel.Reference               = "[1]/Geschwindigkeit"
Like Brad mentioned it is much easier, that you have a stored template of your report with all setings and customisations already done.
You open this layout file and have stored the names of your calculated channels. When you are doing this with a script they always have the same name and belong to the same group.
Now you can customize the references of the line items.

Problem with displaying Date field in the table.

Hi All,
I am trying to display data into a table UI Element.
In that data, i have one DATE type field. While displaying data in DATE field, it will display like this "01.02.2009".
Now my requirement is if i want to modify that DATE field, it will allow to modify "01.02.2009" to "26.02.2009".
But while modifying DATE field , I want to show the Calender of that month, in that i have to select the another date.
(Like normal Date UI Element will show that calender).
Can anyone please help me.
Thanks in Advance!

Sreelakshmi.

Hi,
Go to the context attribute that was mapped to the DATE field of the table and change the perperty INPUT HELP MODE to AUTOMATIC and it works.

Another User Modified the table

Hi,
I have a user defined form, which is bound to Master-Data UDO.
I have matrices in the form which is bound to its child objects.
Following problem happens once in a while:
When I press update button, I get the error message 'Another User Modified the table'.
This is not consistent, but happens once in a while.
My SBO version is 2007.
In what situations you will get the error - "Another User Modified the table" ?
Please help me with this.
I'll appreciate your help.
Thanks.
-Geetha

Hi Mahendra,
Thanks for your reply.
In my case, I take back-up of the database from client site and bringing into our in-house.
If clients complained about record# 25, then the same record# has the 'Another user' issue in in-house also. (By record# I mean the Master UDO DocEntry#).
So, I think the locking is stored in the database, rather than in a PC specific place.
Please tell me any ideas you get in this angle.
Regards,
Geetha

"An error occured while working on the Data Model in the workbook" on some workbooks published to Power BI site

Hello,
I am using the Power BI for Office 365, and I have published several Excel 2013 workbooks having Power Pivot Data Models.
I have a problem on some of the workbooks, once a slicer is selected, I get the error: "An error occurred while working on the Data Model in the workbook" and the slicers do not affect the charts.
Some workbooks work perfectly fine. I am using the same user for all workbooks when creating and publishing. I tried with small workbooks less than < 10 MB size and larger workbooks > 10 MB. There is no rule, some workbooks larger than 10 MB work perfectly
with the slicers effecting the charts, and some don't. Similarly for smaller size.
Any ideas of how I can debug the cause of the issue?
Appreciate any feedback,
Thanks,
Grace

Hi Grace,
I assume that the experience in the Excel client is working fine, right?
Are you getting a correlation id with the error?
Please send us a bit more information / samples to reproduce over email to
this address.
thanks,

Select data from all the table names in the view

Hi,
"I have some tables with names T_SRI_MMYYYY in my database.
I created a view ,Say "Summary_View" for all the table names
with "T_SRI_%".
Now i want to select data from all the tables in the view
Summary_View.
How can i do that ? Please throw some light on the same?
Thanks and Regards
Srinivas Chebolu

Srinivas,
There are a couple of things that I am unsure of here.
Firstly, does your view definition say something like ...
Select ...
From "T_SRI_%"
If so, it is not valid. Oracle won't allow this.
The second thing is that your naming convention for the
tables suggests to me that each table is the same except
that they store data for different time periods. This would be
a very bad design methodology. You should have a single
table with an extra column to state what period is referred to,
although you can partition it into segments for each period if
appropriate.
Apologies if i am misinterpreting your question, but perhaps
you could post your view definition and table definitions
here.

In the JSP Page, I have manually keyed in the null value below said
<ui:textField binding="#{BI.textField2}" id="textField2" style="position: absolute; left: 240px; top: 96px" text="#{BI.bDataProvider.value['ISSUENO'] = null}"/>
<ui:textField binding="#{BI.textField2.Value = null }" id="textField2" style="position: absolute; left: 240px; top: 96px" text="#{BI.bDataProvider.value['ISSUENO'] = null}"/>
At last I am Failure. I am ignorant of it. Can you please help me on this where I have to set null value for the components? I will be very kind of you

Can SPM 2.1 or 3.0 BI standard data model read the data form existing BI P

Hi,
I am curious to find out, can SPM 2.1 or 3.0 BI standard data model read the data form existing BI Procurement (Cubes and DSO's) with no customization mapping?
i know SPM 2.0 do not have that flexibility (Standard data model can read from BI), we would have to map transformation.
I would appreciate your response..
Rgds,
Mahesh

Hi Mahesh,
What you can do in SPM30 is create an export datasource for existing BI objects and use them as direct datasource in SPM using template mapping.
Direct transformations from BI object to SPM objects is not provided.

In your post, the bind variable :P2_REPORT_SEARCH has a carriage return before the word SEARCH. Make sure this is not the case in the report.
