Define Data Model with Two Excel Sources

Good afternoon --
I am attempting to join two Excel spreadsheets within BI Publisher 11g (have tried both 11.1.1.5 and 11.1.1.6) and continue to receive an XDOException / NullPointerException error. Although my original use case involved two complex spreadsheets, I have attempted to test with two simple spreadsheets with these columns:
Key_Project
Project_Name
Project_Description
TaskID
Task_Name
Project_ID
Percentage_Complete
Can successfully load each spreadsheet into BIP and render the XML, but as soon as I load both sheets and create a join between Key_Project and Project_ID I receive either an empty dataset or an error. The error looks like this:
XML Parsing Error: mismatched tag. Expected: </img>.
Location: https://obi-demo.cadm.harvard.edu/xmlpserver/servlet/xdo
Line Number 2, Column 580:
But if you scroll to the end you can see this ambiguous error message:
oracle.xdo.XDOException: java.lang.NullPointerException
Please help with any and all suggestions... All my searches on Oracle Forums, My Oracle Support, and Google have come up empty so far...
Thanks,
Jason

if u find any solution plz update me on [email protected] , i am also getting the same error

Filling bc travel data model with test data

Hey i read somewhere that there is a app to fill the bc travel data model with test data.I been searching but havent found one in the preview version.Please help me if anyone knows how to get it done.Filling it manually is taking a whole lot of time.

Go to the ABAP Editor (SE38) and execute the SAPBC_DATA_GENERATOR program. This program generates suitable sample data in the tables of the flight data application.

How to share JHS BC4J data model with JClient application ?

In our project, some application system using JHS Struts/JSP solution but others which need rich UI application prepare to adapt JClient solution, so whether we can share JHS BC4J data model with JClient application ?

Ting Rung,
The JClient application will communicate with your application module. So all logic in you app module, EO's and VO's can be resued by JClient. Logic in Jheadstart handlers cannot be reused.

Needed SAP CRM Data model with Object, Entity and Attribute level details

Hello all,
We are working on a huge IS-U / CRM implementation and we are still in the data gathering phase. The client has a whole load of legacy systems that will be replaced with IS-U and CRM. Right now we are in the process of developing data models using Excel first and then presenting them to the client to go forward from there. For this we need to have all the business objects, entities and their attributes.
I know about the SD11 transaction, but we don't have a CRM system yet. My colleagues have access to a German ERP system and they were able to get models for HR, FI and Asset management. I tried for the Business partner / customer in there, but the models were not proper.
So, once again, I need the specific data models out of SD 11 for CRM business partner. If anybody has the information, please do pass it on to me as I need them urgently. It would be a great help if somebody can do so.
Regards
Rajesh

I suggest the following:
Please, check whether the system works if you activate the implementation BUPA_F4_AUGRP.
In addition check the notes 559662, 674869 and 782927. Maybe the notes are already implemented but you can try then the implementation of the BADI (SE19). It should resolve your issue.
I have implemented this Badi solution before, and after activation; the search help ; nor search result list did NOT show any Business partners anymore that had an authorization group I was not allowed to see.
kind regards

Power Pivot Data Model with Linked Table

Can anyone provide me with some suggestions as to how to accomplish the following in Power Pivot?
I have the following Pivot Table fields. I'm trying to create a data model to allow me to filter all of the projects by the selected Fiscal Year. The Fiscal Year table is a dimension I created to group the data by.
I'm considering separating Projects into multiple tables such that 1 table is for Year1 information, another table is for Year2 information (includes Year2FiscalYear, Year2BudgetCAP, etc.).
I think what I need to do is create a measure to allow me to filter the records by fiscal year. Anyone have any ideas?
Thanks,
Roland

Hi Greg,
The data is coming from Project Online (OData feed) and SharePoint lists (all within Project Online). I'm creating an Excel Report.
The reason I can't use Power Query is because refreshing a report that is built using Power Query is not supported via browser. Power BI is needed to do this. On the other hand if I build an excel report using Power Pivot only, the browser refresh functionality
works.
The Year1FiscalYear, Year2FiscalYear, etc. are all enterprise custom fields in Project Online. Therefore I have some control in being able to change the format of the data. I'm looking into what are some options on my side to configure Project Online or
SharePoint lists to make building the model simpler...
Thanks,
Roland

Can I pass parameters from a dashboard via a dashboard prompt and presentation variable to publisher report based on a data model with select statements in OBIEE 11g ?

I have a publisher 11g (v 11.1.1.7) report with a single parameter. The report is based on a data model not a subject area. I created a dashboard put a dashboard prompt and link to the report in separate section on the same page. The dashboard prompt sets a presentation variable named the same as the parameter in the report.
The problem was when I created the dashboard prompt, it forced me to select a subject area which I did (though did not want to) and then I created both a column and variable prompts. But clicking on the
report link completely ignored the value that I thought would be passed in the presentation variable to the report.
Side note : My report uses a pdf template for its layout where I have mapped the columns names from my data model to the form fields on the pdf form. I noticed that if I create a publisher report based on a subject area, then I do not have the choice to choose a PDF as a template type for my layout. (I only see BI Publisher Template as a choice).
I see some documentation online that suggest it could be done in 10g.
Thanks
M. Jamal

Ok,
I just tried that and it still doesn't pass anything to the prompt.
I changed the prompt to an edit field and I made the following weblink but when i click the link from an account it doesn't put anything in the prompt and all data for all accounts is shown.
This is the URL maybe I messed something up...

Unable to create a connection in data modeler with oracle 9i

While creating a connection to my 9i db I am getting the following error
Status : Failure -Test failed: oracle.i18n.text.converter.CharacterConverterOGS.getInstance(I)Loracle/i18n/text/converter/CharacterConverter;

Hi,
This problem when importing from Data Dictionary can occur intermittently if you have the Oracle 9i or 10g database software installed on your computer.
Ivan provided a workaround in a previous message in this forum Re: Error when testing database connection :
Try to create a batch file (datamodeler.bat) under Data Modeler installation folder and put the following two lines in it:
set ORACLE_HOME=%CD%
start datamodeler.exe
Then double click on this file to start Data Modeler.

Filtering multiple-XML data model with parameters

I have a data model that consists of a concatenation of 9 separate RSS feeds (weather information from 9 different cities coming from http://www.weather.gov/data/current_obs/????.xml, where ???? is the National Weather Service station ID). All of the feeds have exactly the same format. When I view the raw XML data, I see 9 different values of station_id and of every other tag. So the XML data looks fine. Now I'd like to be able to select one city at a time in an LOV dropdown.
I've created a static LOV called Cities with the list of the 9 station ID's. I've created a parameter called city that is tied to that LOV.
What I can't figure out is how to tie the selected city to the station_id field in the concatenated XML dataset.
I've tied adding a parameter to each rss data set, entering each city's 4-character station ID into its Parameter Name field, and of course choosing city as the parameter. For example, the Parameters section for the Amarillo rss feed would show a Name of KAMA and a Value (Parameter) of city. While this seems logical, selecting the parameter on the View screen doesn't change the display.
Is there a way to accomplish this?

Ahhh, post as in "e-mail". DOH!

Publish data model with designer

Hi,
so far I used ERwin for data modelling. ERwin can generate HTML output consisting of the graphical data model plus hyperlinks on the tables. If you click on a table a report pops up with all details, e.g. table and column comments.
I find this very useful to publish the data model.
Is there something similar available with Oracle Designer?
I found this announcement, but no product: http://otn.oracle.com/products/designer/pdf/ROB_Announce.pdf
Best Regards,
Jens

If you have any recent release of Designer installed, then you have the ROB automatically installed. Select your Start menu in Windows and then navigate through your menus to the Designer sub menu and you'll see a link for setting up the ROB.
The ROB was made available as part of Designer from March 2003. The lastest release of Designer, viz Designer 10g (9.0.4.4) and the equivalent 9i and 6i releases, all now avialable on OTN, have additional support for the ROB. This offers the ability to save and ERD or Server Model Diagram directly to the ROB.
You do need to add the "hotpost" functionality manually. The ROB help gives a step by step apporach on adding these hotspots. There are a number of demos on the Designer demo page on using the ROB and configuring the App Server to use it. http://otn.oracle.com/products/designer/demos.htm

SQL Developer Data Modeler with TFS?

I'm looking for a way to hook up Oracle SQL Developer Data Modeler to Team Foundation Server for version/source control. We currently run TFS for all source control repositories and want to avoid installing subversion just for the Data Modeler product.
Any suggestions would be great

Unfortunately TFS isn't currently supported natively in the tool, although maybe someone else who has manually set it up for manage models will have some advice for you.

Data model with a dynamic table name

Hi,
I have report requirement, where in the table name in the data model query is unknown.So I use lexical parameter like " select * from &P_TABLE_NAME". This dynamic table is created and data populated in the before report trigger and table name is assigned to P_TABLE_NAME. The parameter P_TABLE_NAME has to be assigned an initial value otherwise the report errors with 'invalid table name' error. So I give a dummy table say 'DUMMY' as the initial value which has the same structure (with no data ) as the table that is being created in the before report trigger.
The problem is that the data model query is being parsed ( and maybe executed ) even before the 'before report' trigger is run. As a result, the report o/p is empty, since the query used the DUMMY table for execution. But after the report completes, I can see the dynamic table being created with data.
Question: Why is the before report trigger getting executed after the datamodel query is parsed and executed.
Regards,
Suresh

Hi....
yes, these are the settings I have:
server folder: /Applications/MAMP/htdocs/dwphpelclasico
web url: http://localhost/dwphpelclasico/
They should be correct. But I still get the message:
Warning: require_once(Connections/elclasico.php) [function.require-once]: failed to open stream: No such file or directory in /Applications/MAMP/htdocs/dwphpelclasico/list.php on line 1
Could it be something with list.php?
This is a new file I created to display my tableand where I am inserted the record set.
thanks

Data modeling with MEGA

hi all,
Have anyone used UML MEGA to design data model (logical or physical) ?
I would like to know which formalism is used to do this ?
It's rather Merise or UML ?
Thanks in advance

Hi. Are you still having problems with this? How are you loading your modules?
There are some things you need to be aware of when loading LCDS applications as sub apps into a parent application.
In most cases you will want to use SWFLoader instead of ModuleLoader. When using SWFLoader you need to set the loadForCompatibility property to true. You will also need to use the new 10.1 Flash player. If you need to support older versions of the player, there are a couple of workarounds that are possible.
I describe these in more detail in my comments to the following bug.
https://bugs.adobe.com/jira/browse/BLZ-413
Take a look at my comments and see if that helps you. If that doesn't solve your problem let me know by replying to this forum posting. Thanks.

SQL Data Modeler: Can you create data models with UML?

This is a bit of a moot point since I am using Enterprise Architect for data modeling (great tool and quite cheap), but does Data Modeler support UML? Or is it limited to Barker notation ERD and other ERD variants? I'm a bit new to UML, but love its expressiveness.
Where has Oracle Corp positioned itself with regard to UML for data modeling? Noticed Oracle Press published a book on UML at Oracle 8i release, but I haven't seen anything UML-related since.
Not trying to start a holy war. Just curious.

You can look at JDeveloper.

Material data load with two unit (0MAT_UNIT) failed?

Hi,
I am loading the 0MAT_UNIT data from R/3 QAS to BW QA, I am getting below error.
0MAT_UNIT : Data record 34 ('000000000000010249 ') : Duplicate data record RSDMD 191
There two records for same material number with two different units (EA and PAK), Data loaded to BW dev successfully even if duplicate records for material with two units but it failed in BW QA.
Any setting I am missing?
Please help.
Thanks,
Steve

If you look at the definition of the P table (/BI0/PMAT_UNIT) you will find that both material and unit are keys. So the system recognizes a record as duplicate only when a given material with a given unit exists twice in the data. Based on what you are saying, this is not the case. You have two separate units for a given material. Can you please check to see if there is another record for the same material in a different datapacket ??

Data Modeling with BPC

Hello , does any body know some paper that explains the datamodeling process in BPC?
Thanks
Sergio

Hi Sergio-
Key the data modeling question is the recognition that BPC utilizes a true account based data model. This means only one key figure is available in your modeling design.
The properties of the individual dimensions are key for much of the BPC delivered functionality. For example, Currently Translation requires several specific properties across multiple applications to work correctly.
Also, there is functionality to move data from Application to Application (SAP will soon be posting a How To guide for this!), but currently there is no capability to move data (using available delivered BPC tools) from Appset to Appset. However if you consider the creation o custom process chains and the power of NetWeaver BW tools, you are essentially able to manipulate records from/to anywhere.
