Event Table Error

Question

I've implemented the event table in OBIEE 10.1.3.4.1 and I'm facing this error:
2011-09-02 12:04:58
[55004] The prepare operation failed while polling from table UET.
2011-09-02 12:04:58
[nQSError: 22005] Repository metadata: column has no data type information.
2011-09-02 12:04:58
[55005] The cache polling delete statement failed for table UET.
My connection pool uses OCI 10g/11 and the table was imported using OCI too. After reading in a blog about the differences between the code imported by ODBC, I did the necessary changes (. Now my code is that:
DECLARE TABLE "Controle Cache".."BIEE"."UET" AS "UET" UPGRADE ID 449075 NOT CACHEABLE CACHE EVENT TABLE POLL FREQUENCY 300 NO INTERSECTION ROW COUNT 8.000000 LAST UPDATED '2011-09-01 12:53:24'
     PRIVILEGES ( READ);
DECLARE COLUMN "Controle Cache".."BIEE"."UET"."UPDATETYPE" AS "UPDATETYPE" UPGRADE ID 450774 TYPE "DOUBLE" PRECISION 15 SCALE 0 NOT NULLABLE
     PRIVILEGES ( READ);
DECLARE COLUMN "Controle Cache".."BIEE"."UET"."UPDATETIME" AS "UPDATETIME" UPGRADE ID 450775 TYPE "DATETIME" PRECISION 0 SCALE 0 NOT NULLABLE
     PRIVILEGES ( READ);
DECLARE COLUMN "Controle Cache".."BIEE"."UET"."DBNAME" AS "DBNAME" UPGRADE ID 450776 TYPE "CHAR" PRECISION 40 SCALE 0 NULLABLE
     PRIVILEGES ( READ);
DECLARE COLUMN "Controle Cache".."BIEE"."UET"."CATALOGNAME" AS "CATALOGNAME" UPGRADE ID 450777 TYPE "VARCHAR" PRECISION 40 SCALE 0 NULLABLE
     PRIVILEGES ( READ);
DECLARE COLUMN "Controle Cache".."BIEE"."UET"."SCHEMANAME" AS "SCHEMANAME" UPGRADE ID 450778 TYPE "VARCHAR" PRECISION 40 SCALE 0 NULLABLE
     PRIVILEGES ( READ);
DECLARE COLUMN "Controle Cache".."BIEE"."UET"."TABLENAME" AS "TABLENAME" UPGRADE ID 450779 TYPE "VARCHAR" PRECISION 40 SCALE 0 NOT NULLABLE
     PRIVILEGES ( READ);
DECLARE COLUMN "Controle Cache".."BIEE"."UET"."OTHER" AS "OTHER" UPGRADE ID 450780 TYPE "VARCHAR" PRECISION 80 SCALE 0 NULLABLE
     PRIVILEGES ( READ);
I've already connected the database with the same user of connection pool and I could insert and delete records.
My database structure is that:
Name          Type          Nullable     DEFAULT
UPDATETYPE     NUMBER          N     1     
UPDATETIME     DATE          N     SYSDATE     
DBNAME          CHAR(40)     Y          
CATALOGNAME     VARCHAR2(40)     Y          
SCHEMANAME     VARCHAR2(40)     Y          
TABLENAME     VARCHAR2(40)     N          
OTHER          VARCHAR2(80)     Y          
Any idea what could be wrong?
Thanks

Hi,
There could be an issue with the table schema,run ddl from OracleBI\server\Schema\SAEPT.**.sql .Then import the table to the rpd physical layer
Workaround this issue by using the supplied default creation script for event polling table, located in folder:
<OracleBI>\server\Schema\SAEPT.Oracle.sql
There are several SAEPT (Siebel Analytics Event Polling Table) scripts, named differently depending on your particular database.
Re-naming the (user-defined) column names of the event polling table to match those in the OracleBI\server\Schema\SAEPT.Oracle.sql file will resolve the issue.
Rgds,
