Data Modeler - Source/Target Name

I have imported a logical model from Oracle Designer and need to show the "source/target" names. I could do this easily in version 2 of the Data Modeler through the Logical Model , "Show Source/Target Name" option of the Diagram pane (from Tools | General Options). The documentation for version 3 indicates that I should still be able to do the same thing (except Tools | Preferences), but I lack the "Show Source/Target Name" option in my version 3.0.0.665 of the Data Modeler. Is this a bug, or am I looking in the wrong place in this new version?

Hi,
Please see the Data Modeler Forum message option Show Source/Target Name “on” in the logic model for an answer to this question.

Option Show Source/Target Name "on" in the logic model

In the data modeler 2.0.0 was the option Show Source/Target Name “on”. Where do I find it in data modeler 3.0.0 ?

Hi,
Right click on Logical diagram and from context menu select Show->Labels

Network Data Modeler Source

I have been working on building PL/SQL to extract Network models from well formed road shape files. I have successfully built a rather large road network and would like to add some features to Oracle's Network Data Model Editor to assist with final editing and add the pl/sql extraction module. Does anyone know if Oracle has released the source for this or if they are planning to?
Thanks

DM 3.0 source/target names

how did you manage to lose
the "Show Source/Target Name" check box
from tools\general options (now preferences)\diagram\logical model ?!!!

We found that many users did not want to use the preferences, or did not find the freferences to control this and so it has been moved (not lost) to the diagrams themselves. In the white space on your diagram select Show > Labels.

11g bi publisher data model generic columns names for obiee data source?

I'm just trying to figure out if this is a bug, expected behavior or installation problem. When I select an Oracle BI Analysis to add to the data model diagram the column names are not copied over. Instead they are all renamed as Column0-ColumnNN.
Thanks

File-File - Need to extract data from source file name???

Hello Experts,
I have a unique situation. In my file to file scenario, the source file name is of the format XYZ_yymmddHHMM.dat. there is field in the target file which has to filled with the date that is there in the file name of the source file (yymmdd). How can this be achieved? Normally we do the other way round using vaiable substitution where we can name a file depending on the value in any of the target field structure.
Please help.

Hi,
please prepare the udf with the following code.
i mean, dynamic configuration concept.
where u get the file name, then use substring function to capture date from right side.
//write your code here
// getFileName User Defined Function
// function to create name of output file
String filename;
filename = strFile;
try {
// initialize DynamicConfiguration for create file with given name
DynamicConfiguration conf = (DynamicConfiguration) container
.getTransformationParameters()
.get(StreamTransformationConstants.DYNAMIC_CONFIGURATION);
DynamicConfigurationKey key = DynamicConfigurationKey.create( "http://sap.com/xi/XI/System/File", "FileName");
//create file with the specified name
conf.put(key, filename);
} catch (Exception ex) {
return filename;

Data Modeler foreign key names

Hi,
I've been using Data modeller for a while now and it works beautifully, anyhow there is an issue I would appreciate if anybody can help me in.
For foreign keys, if the master table primary key is names ID, the foriegn key will be ID also, and if already there is an ID column column in the detail table, it will be ID1, ID2 ....
Can I change the naming method to be like the oracle designer, or any convention I would like ??
Thanks
AK

I'm using the Logical Model V 1.5.1Paul,
it's pre-production release. Data Modeler is free now and you can download current published release - it.s version 2.0.0.584.
There is "Attributes" page in relationship dialog (version 2.0) and you can see attributes generated by that relationship.
For foreign keys in relational model - there is "Associated columns" page, you also can see referred key there.
Naming templates for FK columns and attributes can be defined in version 2.0.0.584.

Data Modeler: FK attribute name synchronization

I have this option enabled by default .
How can i disable this on per table basis?
thank you
Andrew

I don't understand, sorry.
"FK attribute name synchronization" is an option in the tools->general options->model -> logical . Once set it enforces the name of the PK column to be used as a name of the column in FK. this works as expected. The problem that i have is when i have self-reference relation ( employee_id -> manager_id ) - in this case the column name is the name of the PK column and number "1".
CREATE TABLE USER_STRATIFICATION_BIN
     user_stratification_bin_id NUMBER NOT NULL ,
     node_id VARCHAR2 (256) NOT NULL ,

     user_stratification_display_id NUMBER NOT NULL
    ) LOGGING

     user_stratification_bin_id
    ON DELETE SET NULL

;i need it to be smth else BUT "user_stratification_bin_id1".
Please advise.

Data Modeler / Logical Model / How to display the "relationship name" ?

Hi,
Oracle SQL Developper Data Modeler 2.0.0 (build 584):
I would like to know if there is a way to display the "relationship name" in the diagram for the logical model in the GUI interface and/or to print it?
I checked in the different setup tool options and I did not find it...
Thanks for your help.
Regards,
Robin Ouellet

Hi Robin,
you cannot "show" relationship name on logical diagram - you can show "name on source" and "name on target" properties. You can set them at cardinality page of relationship dialog, And make them visible in "Tools>General options>Diagram>Logical model" settings - it's "Show Source/Target Name" option.
For printing - you can use "File>Print Diagram" to print in different format. Also "File>Print" allow diagram to be printed to printer, plotter or PDF printer if you have one installed.

Sql Developer Data Modeler 3.0 EA1: Relationship source and target names

When opening my version 2 model in version 3.0 EA1 the source name and target name of all my 231 relationships are deleted.
Is there a solution for this? I don't want to reenter these 462 labels...
Sincerely,
Marc de Oliveira

Hi Peter,
When I examine an XML file for a relation converted from version 2.0, the XML elements "nameOnSource" and "nameOnTarget" are missing in the converted 3.0 EA1 versionthey are not loaded during "open" of older design. If you define them they will go into XML file.

Losing source-target mapping from a data flow diagram process

Hi,
When I reload a model design from an xml repository, I am losing source-target mappings from a data flow diagram process. I wonder why.
The way it goes is:
- I define a data flow diagram with information stores, processes, and flows.
- Information structures are defined from the flows and the information trickles down to processes and information stores.
- In a process, I define Source-Target Mapping by selecting a target element and then selecting the source element(s).
- I save the whole model.
- So far, the Source-Target Mapping keeps the association between target and source elements.
- If I exit from Data Modeler, the next time I reload the saved model, the Source-Target Mapping target to source elements associations are lost!?
Does anyone have the same issue or would know how to resolve it?
Thanks,
/Mario

How do I map the source file name to a target table?

I am mapping a source fixed length flat file to oracle target tables. One of the tables is a parent transaction table that stores the date, record number, status, etc. and the file name of the source flat file. The file name will change daily because the date is part of the naming convention. Is there an easy way to determine the source file name and map it?
One option a co-worker is working on is writing a pre-mapping stored procedure. It would insert the file name into a table prior to the mapping. But I was hoping for a cleaner solution.
Thanks!

Hi
Use extarnel table to load the data from the file into the table.
Create a procedure which changes the external table definition as the filename chnages.
Use this proceudre in the mapping as a premapping process.
