Enhancement request:: Add audit columns during forward engineering

How about adding a check box on forward engineering to add standard audit columns to all tables being engineered?

We can do it today using the table template transformation but that is a manual step you have to execute after forward engineering new entities. (works well but a bit annoying to do over and over again in an iterative design approach)
So you could basically just add the option to automatically use a template table and the current script. You might also deliver a default template table that the user can modify perhaps (then they can apply their own naming standards to the columns).
Thanks

Dear Kent,
Your request will be a nice to have, I had the same need and used the table template transformation approach.
How about allow to define Scripts in entity properties for logical model (as already exists in the table properties for relational model) that is applied when being engineering to relational. This allows to define different "templates" to apply according each entity (audit columns in transactional entities, versioning/history columns in content entities, etc. ).
I use similar approach in the relational to DDL step using the table scripts (before create, after create,etc.) .
Because we use an internal data dictionary framework, each table that is added need to be categorized before to be possible to create the object.
So, this feature allow me to add in each table properties a Script "Before Creation" where an anonymous PL/SQL block is used invoke the method with classification and set this script to "Include into DDL script".Making the use of "dynamic properties", we dynamically define certain properties of categorization that will be used in the creation of script.
So I think that the enhancement of scripts in entities + dynamic Properties (already existing) will be a interesting mix for DM empowerment.
Thanks

Add Audit Columns to the Dimension and Fact tables (Created & modified date Time)

Hi All,
I am new to SSIS , I have to Add Audit Columns to the Dimension and Fact tables (Created & modified date Time) of the package.
Please let me know the best and easy way through which I can implement the same.
If possible suggest some real time example or link where I can find the same

Thankx & regards, Vipin jha MCP

You can simply use ALTER TABLE ADD.. syntax to add the columns if the tables already exist.
You can generate a single script for all tables using INFORMATION_SCHEMA.TABLES view
You can make then of NOT NULL type and set the default value to GETDATE()
In addition you can also have a Audit Trail trigger for UPDATE to make sure Modified date gets updated correctly on each update if not passed explicitly.

Power View Enhancement Request - Allow for columns to drop off PowerView when column name changes in data model instead of rendering the PowerView inaccessible

Currently in PowerView, if a column name changes in the tabular model, and that column is being used in a PowerView chart, the PowerView will become inaccessible.
It would be nice if it functioned similar to Pivot Table. If a column name changes for a column that is being used in a Pivot Table, the field is just removed from the chart, and the user can select the newly named column.

Hi plantm,
After testing the issue in my environment, I can reproduce it. After we change a column name which is used in a Power View chart, Power view will render the message that” The external data connection has been disabled for this Power View report. Please enable
the connection.” when we reopen the file.
To fix this issue, we can click Refresh button under POWER VIEW menu, then it would prompt us that” Power View was not able to complete the action due to a query failure. This can happen if the structure of your data has changed, in which case closing and
re-opening the application will resolve the problem.”
According to the error message, we should try to reopen the file to fix this issue. Power view will render the message that” Please refresh to see the data for this Power View Sheet. You can set properties in the Connection Properties dialog so that the
data refreshes automatically when you open the file.” when we reopen the file. Then we can refresh it again, the report will be displayed without that field.
Based on my research, inherently what the message means is that Power View cannot be used as a tool for snapshot reporting. With an Excel PivotTable, we can see the data last saved in the PivotTable. Power View, however, does not behave the same way – it
won’t render the last saved state. If we want to avoid this message when we reopen the file, there are two methods:
When we create the Power View report, we can select the checkbox that “Refresh data when opening the file”.
After it’s been set up, go to Connections on the Data menu, then choose Properties.
For more details about the settings, we can refer to the following blog:

Hope this helps.

Page Component View - Enhancement Request

Minor enhancement request:
Add a link directly to the Javascript section of the Page attributes, similar to HTML Header, Template etc.
This would also have the benefit of being able to determine if functions were declared in this section w/out having to drill into the page.
Thanks!

How to add new column in Report ME2L

Dear Sir,
We are using ME2L for various purposes . In the ME2L report we need to add 2 new columns i.e Item Delivery Date and WBS Element .
Although in the standard ME2L report , after the basic list generation , there have been provided 2 icons for getting the report displayed with either WBS Element or with Delivery Date . It means we can not get both the column Delivery Date and WBS Element available simultaneously in the standard ME2L report .
We request you to kindly guide us as how can we add these column in the ME2L report pl . We are on ECC-6.0 and not having enhancement package 4.0 .
Kindly help us pl .

HI Pradeep,
Goto the transaction code (Change Report) GR32.
Give you library name and report name
And click on the column (application tool bar or F7) button then place the curser on the screen where you want column (please note you have to keep curser on the header section u2013Red column text) right click and insert element. Then you select formula as selection element and enter. You will get the enter formula box. Then you can type your formula and continue. This will add new column to the report.
How to enter formula: you can see the formula components in that id and description.
Id is columns that are present and description indicates explanation of that column.
Enter formula according your requirement.
Examples:
Enter formula screen:
ID : des
X001 amount
X002 pt000
X003 test
1. Enter formula as: ( X001 u2013 X002)
The above formula is for fist column u2013 second column.
2. ( ( X001 u2013 X002) / X003) * 100
First column u2013 second column and devide by third column after that multiple with 100.
Hope this will help you

Enhancement Requests for AWM10g

Hi, before I start in on the enhancement requests I want to say that I am pretty impressed with AWM10g. Definitely a huge step forward in creating AWs. Having said that, I think there are a few enhancements that could be done to the tool to make it even more user friendl.
Note that these are in no particular order, just ones I came up with while using the tool. I'll add any others that I come across.
Please don't take this as nit-picking - just trying to help make it better.
Thanks!
Scott
1. On dimension hierarchy types, instead of "value based" call it a "parent / child based" (thats what everyone knows it as)
2. When creating levels, allow more than one level to be created at a time (currently it closes the dialog after each level is created, forcing you to go back and choose "create levels" over and over again). This may be as simple as having a "Save and create another" button or something.
3. When typing names in the "system name" boxes, it would be nice if we could simply type the descriptions using spaces, and have the system name automatically replace with an underscore. Right now its a bit tedious to remember to type all names using underscores.
4. In "mapping" view, move HELP, APPLY, and REVERT buttons off of bottom status bar and up to the top toolbar. There is lots of unused space at the top, creating a second bar at bottom just eats up screen real estate
5. On "create dimension" dialog, no need for an entirely separate tab for "implmentation details" (that only has two values - generate unique keys or use the existing keys). Put this on the front tab so users don't have to keep selecting over to it (unless of course there are additional values that can show up there?)
6. Mapping dimensions with multiple hierarchy - seems odd that we have to remap shared levels. Is it possible to make this where you would map all the values in the first hierarchy, and then only map the "missing" levels in the second hierarchy? Seems like an opportunity for hosing things up
7. Drag and drop ordering when setting up the dimensions in a cube would be nice. Interface is the same as prior version of AWM (pretty clunky)
8. Bug - when typing in any "name" field, if you highlight the entire field and delete all characters, under the "description" fields only a single character gets deleted.
9. When there are multiple hierarchies for a given dimension, some sort of visual indicator of which one is set as default (without having to drill into details of each one)
10. Its difficult (impossible?) to resize panes (for instance, when doing the mapping). Seems like sometimes I click on something by accident (other than the < and > arrows) that resizes the panes, and then I can't figure out how to get them back (other than exiting and restarting)
11. When writing template out to same name as one that exists, AWM2 is not giving a "do you want to overwrite" prompt
12. Some sort of clear visual indicator or message when a dimension is not completely "mapped". I had a dimension where I mistakenly forgot to map the leaf level dimension member. I didn't find out about it until I ran a load and the load blew up.
13. On the XML logging at the end of a load process, the dialog box isn't big enough to show entire error messages if they occur. Since I haven't found a way to actually write the output to a txt file, this makes it hard to debug what is wrong with a solve.

Anthony - thanks! In the meantime, I've come up with a few more requests / suggestions (and will probably have a few more yet to come...)
Thanks again!
Scott
1) Rather than just showing the "working" bar while a load / solve is going on, would it be possible to replace this with some sort of functionality that queries against the OLAPSYS.xml_load_log table? And perhaps allow the user to click "refresh" or have it auto-refresh at a certain number of minutes so that users can actually see the progress being made?
2) Since CATALOG view is no longer available, remove the options to have AWM write the log files

Prossesing request/reponse before they are forwarded to the servlet

Untill today we have been using tomcat and weblogic 5.1 together but now
          we want to use weblogics servlet/jsp engine.
          The problem is that we have developed an Interceptor class that is
          processing the request/response before it is forwarded to the servlet
          itself. In this Interceptor class a lot of stuff is added to the
          request/response. I cant find any information on how to do this in
          weblogics servlet/jsp engine. Any thoughts/idea's on how to do that ?

Hi,
          You can write a preprocess servlet that adds anything you need to
          the req. res. and forwards it to the servlet.

OWB 10gR2 - some enhancement requests

Hi, I've been working with OWB 10gR2 for approximately a week now, and I've come across a few (minor) bugs, as well as a list of enhancements that I think would make the tool better. I'd like to surface these in this forum so they can be either disagreed with or have workarounds suggested, as well as getting this list in front of Oracle. Also I'm new to the tool, so maybe there are ways to accomplish what I want.
p.s. as a side note - please don't take these as criticisms of the tool. I'm actually very impressed with OWB 10gR2, but just want to surface some ideas that I think would make the tool better.
Thanks,
Scott
---Bugs:
1.     If I enter a quote character in one of the business description fields (i.e. for a cube or dimension), it causes the DDL scripts to blow up. It probably mentions the list of valid characters in the users guide somewhere - but if a character isn't legal, it should be flagged when I try to enter it originally not when deploying
2.     I can enter illegal strings in an expression operator that fail validation there, but the whole map still passes validation. For instance, I put in an expression (for a varchar2 field) using a single quote at the start, but mistakenly with a double quote at the end. I didnt bother to validate this within the expression. The whole map validated fine, but (of course) blew up with the illegal syntax when generating the code.
3.     I get the following error when trying to browse a cube (ROLAP, not MOLAP) through OWB, but I'm able to pull the cube up fine using either the excel add-in or biBeans: CubeDV_OLAPSchemaConnectionException_ENT_06952???
---Enhancement Requests:
1.     Add a deploy button in control center next to the to default actions and reset actions buttons
2.     Allow an option to have dimensions and cube defaults set to either deploy all, deploy data only, deploy catalog only, deploy aggregations (for cubes). Also, why is the default set to deploy data only? Does deploying the CMW2 metadata involve huge performance impacts or something? It seems like the CMW2 is almost free so it should be turned on by default. Its a pain to use the dimension wizard, but then have to go in to each dimension afterwards to set this option.
3.     When using configure on dims and cubes in control center, the first time the configuration properties dialog pops up, everything is fine. However, when you try to configure the 2nd object, the background focus switches from control center back to design center. This makes navigation very slow if you have lots of items to change. I've noticed this behavior in a few other places as well.
4.     Some dialogs do not have maximize buttons (i.e. dimension wizard dialogs), and default to a very small size. It is possible to have size of dialogs dynamically scaled to screen resolutions, and attempt to size columns so they fit properly. Or better yet, have each dialog remember how large it was last time, and automatically open up to that size?
5.     When generating the autobind relational table while creating a dimension, it seems to be randomizing the order of the attributes within a level (although it does sort the top level attributes first, followed by lower level attributes), at least when using the dimension wizard. It would be nice if the attributes in the relational table came out sorted in the same order as they are specified in the attributes tab.
6.     When using a unmapped display set there doesnt seem to be a way to refresh the set (i.e. remove the items that have since been mapped) unless you select all and then unmapped again. Would be nice if you could simply choose unmapped again and have it refresh the object
7.     While doing a mapping, right click on canvas allows option to generate. Would be nice to also add the validate option to this menu
8.     Validating mappings takes a decent amount of time would be nice if a busy icon was displayed to let user know that OWB hasnt locked up.
9.     default size of job details dialog is too small, and even if I maximize I still have to go through and manually adjust the size of each pane. Similar to enhancement #4
10.     Horizontal size of operators in mapping seems to be determined by the length of the operator name, instead of tying directly to the icon. Looks strange. Very minor
11.     When displaying dimension objects in a mapping:
a.     For the surrogate key columns add an icon to indicate this attribute is a surrogate key. Likewise, since its not legal to map anything to this column, remove the little arrow next to it (the one that turns gray when something is mapped to a column), or perhaps don't even show this column at all.
b.     For the business key columns add some type of icon to show which attributes represent the business natural key (or make color different, etc.)
12.     Similar to #11, for the cube operator in a mapping:
a.     For the surrogate key columns if they cant be mapped to, then dont show them
b.     For the business key columns add some type of icon to show which attributes represent the business natural key
c.     Separate the measure columns from the dimension columns
13.     For the Aggregation operator can you move the <None> default operator to the top of the list. At the bottom, it means you always have to scroll to use the most common operations (which are at the top of the list), i.e. sum and avg, etc.
14.     In the log on prompt, if I choose SQL*Net connection, every time I start it up it defaults to the details being shown (even when I chose no detail last time), with cursor in the host box. I should be able to have the details hidden, and this dialog should ALWAYS default to having the active cursor in the password box on startup
15.     When printing in a mapping, the page setup print dialog is very slow. Also, the print setup dialog shows margins, but you cant adjust them. It would be nice if this could be changed here
16.     Add a print preview icon to all of the toolbars. Printer icon is there, print preview should also be.
17.     In the dimension attributes, we need a way to tag an attribute as being the insert record date or the update record date. The corresponding MERGE SQL should be updated to use these attributes.
18.     It would be nice if the mapping canvas defaulted to an unlimited sizei.e. when I want to add new operators and the screen is already full, I either need to shrink the zoom factor down to the point where I cant read the icons anymore, or I have to pick up the new operator and drag at the bottom / right side until it scrolls enough to drop it where I want. If the canvas had an unlimited size, I could simple use the scroll bars to scroll to where I want.
19.     Scroll wheel functionality to zoom in / out (and have it zoom in around the currently selected object)
20.     Option to have operations automatically resize when longer attribute names are added to them (can workaround by mimimizing and then maximizing, but would be better to have the operators automatically adjust size to fit)
21.     Ability to sort output attributes in an operator (just like table column sort functionality). If I create a new operator, it would be nice to group it with related operators instead of always having it at bottom.
22.     re: column sort functionality drag and drop instead of up/down arrows would be nice
23.     It would be nice if, when adding output attributes to (for example) the expression operator, it would choose the default data type the same way the dimension attribute wizard works (i.e. if it sees ind in name, automatically choose char(1)
24.     Change the zoom in button so that it zooms in on the currently selected operator i.e. if I click on a particular table and then hit the zoom in button, it should keep the table I selected centered
25.     When in a mapping, clicking on a line should highlight the attributes on both the source and target operators (to allow easier visual ID of where data is coming from / going to)
26.     AWM has a feature where table attributes can be sorted so that mappings between them don't have "crossed" lines. Similar functionality in OWB would be very appreciated. It may be harder to automate this, but even manual drag and drop of attributes within an operator would be nice.

if you could copy/paste this whole thing into the submission form (see feedback option under the numbers menu). The more people that request these features, the more likely we are to see them in an update or the next version.

Is it possible to add a column to the SCSM User Picker?

The issue: New employees, taking incident request calls, do not know who our VIPs are, and VIPs are supposed to be given additional service during the call itself, not simply after it.
I have extended the User and Group class and added an "isVIP" Boolean field.  I have a workflow that applies a template to incidents from people for whom this field is TRUE, but that happens after the fact, when the incident is saved... I'm
trying to find a way to flag the employee taking the call RIGHT THEN AND THERE that they have a VIP on the line.
I haven't had any luck finding a way to auto-fill a field during the creation of the Incident Request based on the name selected as the Affected User.   I hit on the idea that maybe I could add a column to the results provided
when you type a partial name and hit the "..." button in the User Picker. Right now we get First Name, Last Name, Title, User Name, Domain and Company. Is there any way to add another column and have the isVIP field provided?
Or, if not an extended field, how about any field that is already part of that class?
Thanks for whatever advice you can give.

Hi Ryan,
You cannot do it with the default control (UserPicker) but there's a way to present the VIP flag immediately . Please refer to
this.
Cheers,
Marat

Enhancement Request 20623991: RFI Buyer Printable View or Supplier Printable View should capture responses from Suppliers / Evaluators

Reference: SR 3-9765282261 : RFI Buyer Printable View report doesn't capture questionaire responded by Supplier
The "Buyer Printable View" and "Supplier Printable View" in Oracle Sourcing should capture evaluator's / supplier's responses. The work around given to view individual responses in each RFI is completely not practical. If there are 3-5 parties responded to the distributed questionaires, then the buyer has to click each response to download PDF file. The workaround process is very time consuming especially during audit season where there are tons of RFIs to be extracted.
ER 20623991 has been logged. Please join me to vote for this enhancement request if you need this functionality too. Your support is very much appreciated.

This is standard functionality, as the printed copy is circulated to the suppliers.

Enhancement request: Bulk edit features

As much as I love Apex and think it is the greatest thing since sliced bread (what's so great about sliced bread anyway!), after one gains a certain amount of proficiency with using the tool, one realizes that there are many areas where the Builder application simply gets in your way. You know exactly what you want to do, you know how to do it, but the Apex Builder doesn't support a "do this 20 times" feature!
For instance
1. Deleting multiple pages - This came up on another thread recently. The Builder makes you click 2 buttons (Delete and Confirm) to delete a page and then takes you to page 0 (or the previous page or something) and then you need to go back to the next page and repeat the process.
There should be a "delete multiple pages" feature in the Builder
2. Creating a list - I have a bunch of links/URLs that I would like to create a list from. The Builder interface (tabular form) has us add each list entry at a time.
I would prefer that it has a honking big textarea where I could dump all the links at once and it creates all the list entries at once. I could always go and tweak individual entries if I like.
Same thing for adding to other Shared components like LOVs, breadcrumbs, tabs, etc. I am not saying a textarea-based interface would work for everything, but anything has to be better than doing it one by one.
3. Access to the Report Column Attributes page - This is too painful to access.
Click on Edit page, click on Report, click on the column you want. 3 clicks!
Instead, there should be a Quick Edit link next to each report column when the page is run that pops up the same page.
4. Attaching a authorization scheme (or condition or build option or any applicable thing really) to a bunch of components at once.
The Builder should have a nifty search page where we could search/filter (by name, component type, page#, etc) for the components we want and then allow us to apply a an "action" (i.e. auth. scheme) to all the selected components at once. Doing this one by one is error-prone, time-consuming and just plain boring!
That's all that comes to mind at this time, I am sure others will have more.
Thanks

Mike: Thanks for responding.
1. You misunderstand what I wrote about report columns. Marc Sewtz understood what I meant at Re: Enhancement request: Quick edit links for column attributes
is very easy to bulk change (on the back end); the hard part is devising the proper screens for bulk change (font end)
2. Absolutely, agree 100%. Which is why it might make sense for Oracle to expose metadata manipulation APIs (apex_metadata package similar to dbms_metadata!) so that power users can effect changes to the application metadata without going through the Builder at all!
We talked about this at Bulk edit items
Many of the application reports allow for bulk change operations
Right, but realistically speaking, you can never anticipate and build screens for all the things we would like to do. Which is why a command-line API would be invaluable.
Just recently, I needed to change a bunch of HTML regions' templates in a application from Report Region to Hide/Show template. I couldn't find an application report/bulk edit page that let me do this, it was quite painful to do in the Builder.
Another case in point: I used the "Form on SQL Query" wizard to quickly create a form page with a bunch of fields. But unfortunately, unlike the "Form on Table wizard", this wizard is not smart enough to create page items with a display-as depending on the datatype of the columns in the query. It creates all the form items as Text Fields. :-( There is no bulk-edit page (that I could find) that lets me change the display-as property for multiple items.
If you or others have UI sugestions
3. As you may know, whenever I think of something that the Apex product could benefit from (an enhancement request IMHO), I post a thread on the forum with a subject line that clearly indicates as such.
To summarize, here they are:

Forward engineering options for type hierarchies

Hello,
I'm using Data Modeler 3.0.0-665.
I have models which use type hierarchies with more than 2 levels. I'm having dificulty forward engineering into tables.
For example I have the following entity hierarchy:
ent1
ent21
ent211
ent212ent22
ent221
ent222
I would like to enginer tables as follows:
- ent21 and its sub-types implemented as single table
- ent22 and its sub-types implemented as sub-type implementation (table per child)
What seems to happen in Data Modeler is that the Forward Engineer Strategy property is set once only for the entire hierarchy. So I cannot engineer two sub-types with different engineering strategies.
I also was unable to engineer only children of ent21 even though I had de-selected the children of ent22.
Is there a way to make Data Modeler implement sub-types using different strategies within the hierarchy?
Thank you,
Beatriz.

Hello Phillip,
Thank you.
Given your answer, I have these questions:
1. is there a plan to include this capability in a future release?
2. If the answer to (1) above is No, then is there are place where I can request this as an enhancement? if so could you please point me to it?
This functionality is available in Oracle Designer and we actually do use it a lot as we have models with complex type hierarchies.
Thank you,
Beatriz.

Mail enhancement request

I have submitted this before but there has been no response so ....
I would like to have "last" and "next" (forward/back arrows) in the mailbox sidebar to allow me to pop back to the mailbox I was viewing before I took a detour to look for something in a specific folder.
For those of us who have Mail windows open to more than one mail server, this would be a real convenience.
I often find I have "returned" to the wrong account and now have 2 windows open to the same IMAP server ...

Alternatively, if you want to report this to Apple, send a bug report (or enhancement request) via its Bug Reporter system. Join the Apple Developer Connection (ADC)—it's free and available for all Mac users and gets you a look at some development software. Since you already have an Apple username/ID, use that. Once a member, go to Apple BugReporter and file your bug report/enhancement request. You'll get a get a Bug (ER) ID number; thus, starting a dialog directly with engineering.

Enhancement request:: Add audit columns during forward engineering
