Database Development and Creating Objects in the Enterprise

Hello Everyone,
I have found myself filling the role of DB Developer for a DataMart project in a large enterprise. We are looking at replicating and consolidating multiple schemas in near real-time into an ODS for Reporting and Data Integration purposes. I did a POC locally in DEV to create Materialized Views for this purpose. It seems to work fine, I've got them on Fast Refresh, added a unique identifier etc.
The DBA stated I was granted the Priv to create the MVIEWS bc our vendor requires more PRIVS than is normally allowed for other apps in the Enterprise and it was only done on our server. Now I requested to try the same thing, however on the remote ODS DB over DBLinks. He stated creating objects on the ODS is a 'bad idea' and not allowed without engaging the broader DB group, even for DEv purposes. He also stated that MOST enterprises don't allow creating objects, and only allow DML. Problem is, once we engage that group it could add significant time and money to the project. Which seems silly as I just want to see if it's a feasible option.
Any thoughts on this? Can anyone share experiences regarding what is and is not allowed at the DB level strictly for DEV purposes and not on PROD?
Thanks,
PRAJNA

Thanks for the input jgarry. It does seem they are treating DEV like PROD in this case. Which has the potential to hamper innovation and new ways of doing things, especially in an aging IT environment where we might be stuck in our ways of doing things. It also sounds a bit general and not necessarily the case that 'most companies also don't allow this sort of thing'. I haven't worked in enough shops to say one way or the other however.
Yes, creating a local DBLink would be an option, but I wanted to test this method running across two physical servers ideally. Worth a try though.

Call the CALL METHOD and CREATE OBJECT

Hi Friends,
How to call the CALL METHOD and CALL OBJECT in the se38 edit program.For example for calling the FUNCTION MODULE we can use the pattern in that using the call function we can get the function module in the se38 edit.but in METHOD hoe to call if you explain me in detail it would be very much usefulfor me.
Thanks,
Regards,
Rajendra Kumar

Hi rajendra,
its the same way we do. call pattern ..there will be another radiobutton whcich says 'ABAP objects' , give the method name and the class name there.. this will call the method similar to function module..
we can also write our own classes and methods...
say..you created your own class c1 and method m1
then first create the instance of the object..
data:obj1 type ref to c1.
create object obj1.
call method obj1->m1.

Vidya.

Would you recommend installing and creating apps in the apex install schema

Would you recommend installing and creating apps in the apex install schema for e.g. apex_040100? Or would you rather a separate tablespace be used for the application objects? In addition to this we are integrating it with Oracle EBS? Are there any industry best practices for creating tablespaces and schemas for apex applications?

A BIG NO!!!, you should be using separate schema's

One of my favorite things about developing for iOS using Xcode is the Simulator. It runs any of the iOS devices simulated right on your Mac. If you don't have a hardware device to test your application on, the Xcode simulator will surely be your best friend.
So to answer your question less vaguely, yes. You can own the iPhone 5s and develop for the 6. There is no real release information of the iPhone 6 at the time anyways, so I would not let it play too large of a factor in your decision.

XML Parsing and creating objects..

I need to create objects with the value present in the XML file under a specific tag.
E.g.:
XML file:
<employees.
<employee>
<name>
<first>Chandan</first>
<last>Sharma</last>
</name>
<empid>1212</empid>
<dept>Telecom</dept>
</employee>
<employee>
<name>
<fitst>First</first>
<last>Last</last>
</name>
<empid>100</empid>
<dept>Dept</dept>
</employee>
</employees>
There may be tags other than <employees> in the XML file.
I need to parse this file and create objects of class
Employees{
String firstName,lastName,empid,dept;
Please help me.
As I am new with this, it would be better if you provide me some with code.
Thanks & Regards,

You can od it using SAX of course but the implementation is completely different. As I haven't used any SAX approach for many years, I can't provide you any example but you should find many of them either with google or by downloading any java implementation (like Xerces, Xalan...)
The better solution depends on your needs. That's the standard answer, I know :)
when you use DOM, you load the entire content of the file in the memory. and then you travel through the JAVA structure that has been created by using the methods I gave you.
When you use SAX, you define a listener for your parser that will be called any time the parser finds something interesting. a new node, a new attribute, a new node content... sometimes it's a pain to implement.
In my opinion if your application will only handle one message at a time, you should keep the DOM approach because I don't think there will be any big difference in time processing. On the other hand if your application will potentially manage multiple messages at the same time, then your computer memory can be overloaded by a DOM approach and the you will face bad performances, in such case use the SAX approach.
as a conclusion, the best way to make a decision is to run benchmarks. good luck :)

VTO-4400 No database has been discovered. please use the enterprise managem

Hi,
I am new to Oracle Enterprise Manager. I just installed Oracle8i on Windows 2000 Server. I am connecting to OEM as sysman. When i try to open database applications (e.g. Tools - Database Applications - DBA Studio) from Oracle Enterprise Manager, it gives error:
VTO-4400 No database has been discovered. please use the enterprise management console to discover atleast one database before starting the application.
Can anybody tell me how to connect to the database?
Thanks,
Prutha

Having said all that, a colleague has suggested we just limit the amount of RAM available for the EX2010 DB cache
Then it won't have to start releasing RAM when the backup runs, and won't throw SCOM alerts
This attribute should do it...

What settings need to be changed so logos (.png or .jpg) and other objects in the email (body_part_0.html or body_part_1.vcf) appear in the email in lieu of att

We have several computers that receive email via Thunderbird. Two individuals received that exact same email. On one of the emails, the attachments are shown correctly (PDF file and a ZIP file). On the other computer, the attachments are also shown but any company logos (.png or .jpg) and other objects in the email (body_part_0.html or body_part_1.vcf) do not appear correctly in the body of the email but appear at the bottom of the email as attachments. I can send PDF files of these (2) different emails if it would be helpful.

Matt: Thanks for the quick reply... both computers have the identical antivirus software package. I'm thinking that there has to be something in the configuration of Thunderbird that is slightly different that is giving the different results.

Stop database instances and restart server without the databases to start.

We run Oracle database-server 10 enterprise edition release 10.2.0.4.0 64 bit pl/sql release 10.2.0.4.0 production.
How do i restart the servet without the databases to restart f. eks using enterprise manager.

I think what you need to do is go into the oratab file and mark each database set to be started automatically on boot up to not be set to auto-start. When done doing whatever you are doing now you would need to reset the indicator to Y. I do not think you would do this via EM.
We have all our database set to not auto-start and have our own start scripts that run a series of startup action scripts. This was for our system administrators who did not want Oracle in the way when they applied patches or made hardware changes that required re-booting and the start-up action scripts load and pin large objects into the shared pool on startup before the database is in use by the applications.

Getting ora-904 error when create objects for the 2DayPlus apex 3.1 demo

Searched metalink and the forum and can't determine the cause of my error below.
CREATE TABLE oehr_categories_tab OF oehr_category_typ
( category_id PRIMARY KEY)
NESTED TABLE TREAT
(OBJECT_VALUE AS oehr_leaf_category_typ).product_ref_list
STORE AS oehr_prod_ref_list_ntab
NESTED TABLE TREAT
(OBJECT_VALUE AS oehr_composite_category_typ).subcategory_ref_list
STORE AS oehr_subcat_ref_list_ntab
ORA-00904: : invalid identifier
DB Version: 9.2.0.7
Any help would be appreciated.

Hi,
I believe the issue is with a new pseudocolumn reference introduced in 10gR2. Kindly refer to the Oracle Database SQL Language Reference on [OBJECT_VALUE Pseudocolumns.|http://download.oracle.com/docs/cd/B28359_01/server.111/b28286/pseudocolumns006.htm]
A quick workaround for those using Oracle Database 9iR2 or 10gR1 would be to edit the "Installation Script" (under "Supporting Objects"). Edit the "OEHR_CATEGORIES_TAB" DDL to the following:
bq. CREATE TABLE oehr_categories_tab OF oehr_category_typ \\ ( category_id PRIMARY KEY) \\ NESTED TABLE TREAT \\ (SYS_NC_ROWINFO$ AS oehr_leaf_category_typ).product_ref_list \\ STORE AS oehr_prod_ref_list_ntab \\ NESTED TABLE TREAT \\ (SYS_NC_ROWINFO$ AS oehr_composite_category_typ).subcategory_ref_list \\ STORE AS oehr_subcat_ref_list_ntab;
Reinstall the Supporting Objects.
Hope this helps.

Use HCM processes and Forms without using the Enterprise Portal

is it possible to leverage existing HR Admin Services (HCM processes and Forms) functionality without using the Enterprise Portal?
1) Create an Adobe form and Interface using SFP
2) Set up ISR and Form Scenario
3) Set up Forms configuration to use existing Backend and generic Services
4) Set up workflow to updated Backend using Services
is it possible to do the above steps and not use the Portal? If Yes, how do we present the forms to the Manager, and provide different buttons that appears on the Portal by default?
Any ideas will be greatly appreciated.
Thanks,
Saurabh

Hi Saurabh,
your assumptions and findings (items can not be started from the backend workflow inbox etc.) are correct: These processes can not be started without the Portal and it is not intended to do this.
The above mentioned backend report are only forseen for implementation and testing purposes and not for productive use.
In addition to the fact, that you already can't execute the work items a lot of other features of the framework (Process Browser etc.) are only available through the Portal.

Explicity mapping between ActionScript and Java objects for the BlazeDS Messaging Service

The BlazeDS documentation shows how to explicitly map between ActionScript and Java objects. For example, this works fine for RPC services, e.g.
import flash.utils.IExternalizable;
import flash.utils.IDataInput;
import flash.utils.IDataOutput;
[Bindable]
[RemoteClass(alias="javaclass.User")]
public class User implements IExternalizable {
        public var id : String;
        public var secret : String;
        public function User() {
        public function readExternal(input : IDataInput) : void {
                id = input.readObject() as String;
        public function writeExternal(output : IDataOutput) : void {
                output.writeObject(id);
and
import java.io.Externalizable;
import java.io.IOException;
import java.io.ObjectInput;
import java.io.ObjectOutput;
import java.util.HashSet;
import java.util.Iterator;
import java.util.Set;
public class User implements Externalizable {
    protected String id;
    protected String secret;
    public String getId() {
        return id;
    public void setId(String id) {
        this.id = id;
    public String getSecret() {
        return secret;
    public void setSecret(String secret) {
        this.secret = secret;
    public void readExternal(ObjectInput in) throws IOException,
                ClassNotFoundException {
        id = (String) in.readObject();
    public void writeExternal(ObjectOutput out) throws IOException {
        out.writeObject(id);
If I called an RPC service that returns a User, the secret is not sent over the wire. Is it also possible to do this for the messaging service? That is, if I create a custom messaging adapter and use the function below, can I also prevent secret from being sent?
MessageBroker messageBroker = MessageBroker.getMessageBroker(null);
AsyncMessage message = new AsyncMessage();
message.setDestination("MyMessagingService");
message.setClientId(UUIDUtils.createUUID());
message.setMessageId(UUIDUtils.createUUID());
User user = new User();
user.setId("id");
user.setSecret("secret");
message.setBody(user);
messageBroker.routeMessageToService(message, null);

Hi Martin. The way that AMF serialization/deserialization works for BlazeDS is the same regardless of which service is being used, so yes that code will work for messaging as well. On the server, the serialization/deserialization of messages happens at the endpoint. For an incoming message for example, the endpoint deserializes the message and then hands it off to the MessageBroker which decides which service/destination to deliver the message to.
That was a good question. Thanks for asking it. Lots of people are used to doing custom serialization/deserialization with the RPC services (RemoteObject/RemotingService) but I'm not sure everyone realizes they can do this for messaging as well.

SSMS is not listing table and views objects though the objects are listed when I execute TSql string "SELECT * FROM sys.Tables"

I have a db, call it xyz.mdb
It suddenly is that SSMS is not listing the table objects nor the Views. SELECT * FROM sys.Tables and SELECT * FROM sys.Views work very fine. But when I click on the tables node, on Objects Explorer, Only the Systems Tables and File Tables folders
show.
Other DBs on same SQL instance do not show same problem. They are all working very fine.
I have backed up and restored this db on other computers and the behaviour is the same. Incidentally right-clicking the db and clicking Properties throws up this error message.

IOS developement and non-Objective-C languages

Is it possible to do development for iOS without having to learn Objective-C? For example, can I use another tool or programming language, HTML, JAVA, to do development then port that to iOS devices?

PhoneGap is interesting. Basically, you write your App in HTML5, but with the addition of their toolkit which grants access to the other features of the phone (such as the photo catalog, contacts, etc.). The way it does this is that it basically has the HTML5 run in a UIWebView component (basically, a hosted browser), and then adds objects to the JavaScript interpreter by binding native components to the JavaScript (via WebScript).
So, the practical upshot is that you can write an app entirely in HTML5 and then PhoneGap will package it up into a native iPhone application with most of the features normally available to native apps and not to regular web-based apps. As an added bonus, PhoneGap will also package the same app for Android and RIM.

SQL Server 2008 R2: which version of Visual Studio do I need to keep database projects and SSIS projects in the same solution

I need to build a solution containing a database project and an integration services project for SQL Server 2008R2. Apparently, the subset of Visual Studio tools that comes with SQL Server 2008R2 does not include database projects and does not have
Team Foundation Server support. Because of those limitations, I am trying to determine which version of Visual Studio will allow me to:
1. Build a single solution that includes both a database project and an Integration Services project
2. For the database project, be able to import a database schema from an existing SQL Server 2008 R2 database, do schema compares and update the project from the database and vice versa
3. For the Integration Services project, be able to deploy the packages to SQL Server Integration Services on SQL Server 2008 R2 (that is, to the msdb database).
4. Use Team Foundation Server for source control of the whole solution, including both project types.

Hi G Britton,
To build a solution containing a database project and an integration services project for SQL Server 2008 R2 and use Team Foundation Server for source control.
You can choose to install Visual Studio 2008.
And as you want to utilize Schema compare and/or Data compare functionalities in Visual Studio, you will need to install the
Visual Studio Team System 2008 Database Edition or Visual Studio Team System 2008 Team Suite.
In addition, for Visual Studio issues, I would like to recommend you post the question in the
Visual
Studio forums to get better support.
