Forced to remap one database object at a time

Our application exposes a set of data objects (views) for external reporting. Field/row level data security conditions are built into the view definitions. Different access levels are segmented by schema names and in order to enable report reuse object names are identical between schemas.
Users granted schema rights based on their access level.
For example, user A is granted access only to the schema X which contains View1, View2, etc. while user B is granted access only to the schema Y which also contains View1, View2, etc.
User A can reuse report created by user B (since object names are identical), however s/he cannot do it without first changing the data source location (since their access levels and therefore schema names are different).
However, "Set Datasource Location" dialog (see sample screenshot below) does not allow one-click schema remapping. "Current Data Source" hierarchy does not directly expose schema name (it is listed as an "Owner" property of the individual table/view object) which forces user to remap one database object at a time by expanding top and bottom trees, highlighting matching objects and clicking "Update" button.
Our question is: are there any menu items/settings or any other facilities in Crystal Report that would allow us to make re-mapping process less time-consuming?

Hi Len,
No, bottom line is the designer is used to "finalize" the report. It's not designed to be use this way. What I suggest you do is create an application that can set location/schema at view time to that person logging in. This way it's all done in the back end and relatively easy to do using one of our SDK's.
Depending on what development tool and Report engine you use depends on which forum to post your question to. SAP will not create the application for you so you will need to get a developer involved.
Thank you

One database user taking more time to connect

Hi All,
I have a question,
I have a database say 500GB and I have around 50 schemas in this database.But there is one User that takes more than normal time to connect to the database.
What can be the reason for this and what should be my apprach to look for the problem where it could possibly be.
Regards,
Sphinx

yes, check for online trigger if none there put your own on logon trigger on a normal user and your issue user. do a 10046, examine the trace files, everything the user is doing will be in it.
CREATE OR REPLACE TRIGGER SYS.set_trace
AFTER LOGON ON DATABASE
WHEN (USER in 'GOODUSER','BADUSER')
DECLARE
lcommand varchar(200);
BEGIN
EXECUTE IMMEDIATE 'alter session set statistics_level=ALL';
EXECUTE IMMEDIATE 'alter session set max_dump_file_size=UNLIMITED';
EXECUTE IMMEDIATE 'alter session set events ''10046 trace name context forever, level 12''';
END set_trace;
/tkprof the trace files, whats the difference between good and bad.
moneys on a trigger though.

Can we start more than one user created database at the same time

Hi.,
Can we start/work more than one user created database at the same time ??
--Shyam

Hi Shyam,
I really dont understand what you have asked?
If your question is can we start more than one database at the same time then the answer to that is yes but provided to have enough resources on your server to support running of two or more different databases on the same machine.

Dragging more than one display object in flex3

As per my knowledge, we can drag and drop only one display object at a time.... What should i do if i want to drag more than one display object together as a group.
I am having a canvas and inside it i am having a box..... In that box I am having many Panels.... Now i can create a group of adjascent panels.... And i can drag that panel group to some other place in that box only....
So how to drag a group of display objects together.

You can use custom code for that. Flex doesn't use the Flash Player's dragging API. It monitors mouse activity instead. There is an example in Panel.as. You can extend it to move more than one panel.

Database Object Dependencies - only goes one level deep

I've run the Database Object Dependencies report and it appears that the report only shows the top level dependencies and not lower level ones. Am I running this report incorrectly or is there something I'm missing.
For example, it displays the tables and views correctly but does not show any triggers that have been created for a specific table. Additionally, I didn't see any references to database links being used.
version: 3.1.1.00.09

John,
The report shows the immediate dependencies for the anonymous blocks and similar code snippets contained within the application components. It's just like if you did this:
create table footab (n1 number)
create trigger footrig before insert on footab for each row begin null; end;
create or replace procedure fooproc
as
begin
for c1 in (select n1 from footab) loop
null;
end loop;
end;
SQL> select referenced_name from all_dependencies where name='FOOPROC'
2 /
REFERENCED_NAME
SYS_STUB_FOR_PURITY_ANALYSIS
STANDARD
FOOTAB
SQL>
The table FOOTAB is the only "real" object that the procedure FOOPROC has a dependency on. No mention of the trigger on the table.
Additionally, I didn't see any references to database links being used.Yes, that would be a possible improvement to the report.

How to move database objects from one user to another user

Could someone help how to move database objects from one user to another user
Thanks in advance

Thanks a lot for the reply.
Actually I wanted to know whether there is any command to change the owner ship of the table.
For ex table1 belongs to user1. can the owner of table1 to be changed to owner2.
directly using an oracle command. I knew that it can be done using import and export, since the table was 200 million thought the rename command would be faster instead of import and export.
Thanks Billy for letting me know that it is not possible using oracle query.

How to backup more than one database using powershell

Updating more than one database...

I am looking at a scenario were we, each time a change is made to several different caches, needs to update both a legacy database (main frame, non-relational = actually hierarchical) that are used by several large batch applications (that will be converted one by one over time to use the application built on top of the cache) as well as a new database (modern hardware & OS, relational, organized in a quite different way than the legacy database!).
     The sync requirements are:
     * It is REALLY bad if only one database get updated but not the other!
     * The legacy database can be about 5 minutes behind the cache
     * The new database is only used for making the cache persistent (it is fully loaded to cache at system startup) and has really no requirement at all on how much behind the cache it can be as long as data is never lost (we will use backup count = 1).
     Updating the legacy database is NOT straight-forward and will require some data transformations to be performed. They can either be done in the legacy system (if we send the change info using some safe messaging for instance) or in the new environment if we want to update the old database directly.
     A factor complicating things further is that the legacy system have some consistency requirements on the data (in particular when creating new objects that has relationships to each other, you may think about order / order row even if this is not the kind of application we have in mind).
     For performance reasons (and since it seem from another thread that partial writes is a bigger problem with write through) we would probably like to use write behind to update the new database.
     Anybody who have some experience of similar situations and can give some suggestions on how to best go about it?
     Best Regards
     Magnus

I may also add that our current thinking is to use a "write beside" pattern for the legacy system and a write-behind pattern for the cache to update the new database. An XA transaction will then be used to make sure that both or neither the old system and the cache gets updated. Does this sound like a reasonable solution?
     Best Regards
     Magnus

Possible?Multi-Entity View Object with one Entity Object that is Read-only.

I know this sounds crazy, but I would like to create a multi-entity view object, where one entity object is based on a table in my application (we'll call it "Users", which basically stores the primary key for the person from the institutional people database), and the other table is a entity object based on a view of the institutional people database table (read only access), which we can call "People".
I know that since no updates will be done to the People table, it really should be a read-only View Object, but I would lose the ability to sort on attributes like Last Name, Hire date, etc, since those would be transient attributes in my ViewObject for the Users. By having People as an entity object, I can then create a multi entity view object and have the ability to join Users to People and be able to sort on the above mentioned fields (like Last Name).
The problem is that when I use the JDev (I'm currently using 10.1.2.1) AppModule BC4J tester, when I click on the multi-entity view object that I added to the AppModule it gives me an error:
oracle.jbo.RowCreateException) JBO-25017: Error while creating a new entity row for People.
----- LEVEL 1: DETAIL 0 -----
(java.lang.InstantiationException) null
I have tried to change all the attributes to updateable in my entity object, but no create method, and I have tried to make them all read-only, but no effect, I get the same error (probably because the People view is read-only in my schema).
Is there a way to change the entity object so that it will not try to create a new row when it runs the Tester? So that the multi entity view object behaves more like a view link, but gives me the added bonus of being able to sort on the Last Name column from the People table?
Thanks for any help on this subject...at worst, I will have to use the view link method to get the job accomplished, but it would be "cooler" if this would work!
Jeremy.

Steve, thanks for your quick response to my question.
To answer your questions, I was trying to create the Multi-entity View Object to give me more flexibility when working with my User table, and my People view. The flexibility I desired was that I would be able to sort my Users based on attributes in the People view. This is not possible when the there is only one Entity in my VO, and the People view data are all transient attributes, because they are not in the SQL statement.
Ultimately, after working with one of my colleagues, we decided to use the approach that you mentioned by creating a read-only VO with the SQL query we want to display to the user (contains both User and People data fields), and then use a different ViewObject when performing other actions on the User Table (such as inserts/updates/deletes). By using the setWhereClauseParam() method in the handleLifeCycle() for the JSP page, we should be able to navigate between the different View Objects, so that the user does not see any difference.
Thanks! Oh, and by the way, I have read your article you included before, and I have used it many times before to tune my View Objects! Thanks!

How to Add Sales order from one database to another database

Hi All,
I am trying to add sales order with sales order object.
I have completed connectivity from one database to another database.
but i am unable to post sales order with orders object.
My code is
ObjSales = objMain.objUtilities.GetBusinessObject(SAPbobsCOM.BoObjectTypes.oOrders)
            ObjSales.DocDate = Date.Parse(System.DateTime.Now().ToString("d"))
            ObjSales.DocDueDate = Date.Parse(System.DateTime.Now().ToString("d"))
            ObjSales.TaxDate = Date.Parse(System.DateTime.Now().ToString("d"))
            ObjSales.CardCode = "C0006"
           ObjSales.Series = 92
            ObjSales.PaymentGroupCode = 3
            ObjSales.Comments = "vivek"
           ObjSales.Lines.Add()
           ObjSales.Lines.SetCurrentLine(1)
           ObjSales.Lines.ItemCode = "5127"
           ObjSales.Lines.Quantity = 100
           ObjSales.Lines.UnitPrice = 10
           ObjSales.Lines.WarehouseCode = "01"
            ObjSales.Lines.TaxCode = "0"
            ObjSales.Lines.DiscountPercent = "0.00"
            ObjSales.DocTotal = 1000
             If ObjSales.Add <> 0 Then
               objMain.objApplication.SetStatusBarMessage("Sales or Not Posted", SAPbouiCOM.BoMessageTime.bmt_Short, True)
               Exit Sub
            else
              objMain.objUtilities.ShowSuccessMessage("Sales Order Posted successfully")
            End If
The above code is executing successfully.But the Sales order is not getting added.
Thanks in advance.

Hi Vivek,
If the code you posted is not throwing any errors, then the order really does get created. Apparently just not to both databases, am I correct ?
vivek.Y wrote:
> I have completed connectivity from one database to another database.
That means that apparently you have not gotten this bit right.
Generally speaking if you want to create an order into two databases, you first need to connect to both databases and create separate order objects for each database. So you need to do this bit twice; once for each database. Something like this:
ObjSales1 = objMain.objUtilities1.GetBusinessObject(SAPbobsCOM.BoObjectTypes.oOrders)
ObjSales2 = objMain.objUtilities2.GetBusinessObject(SAPbobsCOM.BoObjectTypes.oOrders)
Then at the end you also need to add both objects separately:
If ObjSales1.Add <> 0 Then
etc.
If ObjSales2.Add <> 0 Then
etc
Good luck,
Johan

VS 2005 CR integrated report connection with more than one database

Hello,
I am using VS 2005 to make a reporting application. I am using the Crystal Reports Viewer and I need to know how to integrate the report login information for more than one database. Here is the VB code I have for one connection:
Imports CrystalDecisions.CrystalReports.Engine
Imports CrystalDecisions.Shared
Partial Class _Default
    Inherits System.Web.UI.Page
    Protected Sub Page_Load(ByVal sender As Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles Me.Init

Database schema SCM does not contain the associated database objects

I am getting the following error when i am trying to migrate the form to apex using application migration.
"*Database schema SCM does not contain the associated database objects for the project, aafs.*
*Ensure the database schema associated with the project contains the database objects associated with the uploaded Forms Module .XML file(s).* ".
Actully i am having one schema which i named as SCM, and i have defined one table TT.
I created one form test.fmb in which i used TT table.its compiled successfully.
Then i generated the xml file using frmf2xml from fmb file. After that, I created the project in appication migration wizard in SCM schema.
Project creattion is working fine.but when i m trying to create application,it is showing me above error.
can any one help in solving this problem.

Hi Hilary,
Thanks for your response/feedback.
1. The schema associated with the project does not contain the necessary objects Can you please verify that the schema associated with your Forms conversion project does in fact contain the objects associated with the uploaded files. Could you also verify that the object names referenced in the error message do not exist within the schema associated with your workspace. Ensure that the schema associated with the project contains the necessary database objects before proceeding to the generation phase of the conversion process.
Ans:
Yes it does contain the objects (See results from SQL query Commands below):
SELECT MWRA_CONTRACT_NO, OLD_CONTRACT_NO FROM PROJECTS@CONTRACT_LX19.MWRA.NET
ORDER BY MWRA_CONTRACT_NO
000000569 551TA
000000570 553TA
000000575 560TA
000000576 561TA
000107888 502TA
000108498 500TA
000108502 503TA
2. The block being converted contains buttons, which may have been incorrectly identified as database columns, and included in the original or enhanced query associated with your block This is a known issue ,bug 9827853, and a fix will be available in our upcoming 4.0.1 patch release. Some possible solutions to this issue are:
-> delete the buttons before generating the XML
-> delete the button tags from the XML
-> add "DatabaseItem=No" for the button in the XML file before importing it in Apex.The button is excluded when creating the Application.
Ans
yes it does contain push buttons to transfer to another forms and these are defined as Non data base items. Parial XML code provided below:
- <Item Name="REPORTS" FontSize="900" DirtyInfo="true" Height="188" XPosition="4409" FontName="Fixedsys" ForegroundColor="black" DatabaseItem="false" Width="948" CompressionQuality="None" YPosition="3709" FontSpacing="Normal" Label="REPORTS" BackColor="canvas" FillPattern="transparent" ShowHorizontalScrollbar="false" FontWeight="Medium" ShowVerticalScrollbar="false" FontStyle="Plain" ItemType="Push Button">

Simple: How to copy a Table from one Database to another?

I already know how to do it by creating an identical table and then inserting the Data.
Like so:
SET IDENTITY_INSERT dByDtMinusC5 ON
INSERT INTO [DB1]..T1 ([Id], [HbyD] , [K] )
SELECT [Id], [[HbyD]]] ,[K] FROM [DB2]..T2
As you can see I need to have T1 in order to copy T2 into DB1. Is there any way that I could auto create T1 and copy T2?
There are so many forums in sql server Category, I hope I posted in the right one :0 . We need tag system for forums.

Hi Bhupinder,
According to your description, you want to copy a table with Primary keys from one database to another database.
As per my understanding, I think the best method is use Transfer SQL Server Objects Task in SQL Server Integration Services. The Transfer SQL Server Objects task transfers one or more types of objects in a SQL Server database between instances of SQL Server.
Server roles, roles, and users from the specified database can be copied, as well as the permissions for the transferred objects. Indexes, Triggers, Full-text indexes, Primary keys, Foreign keys can also be copied.
To use the Transfer SQL Server Objects Task, we should create a SQL Server Integration Services Project in SQL Server Data Tools, then drag a Transfer SQL Server Objects Task to Control Flow pane. Specify SourceConnection, SourceDatabase, DestinationConnection
and DestinationDatabase for the Connection, select the table in the ObjectsToCopy category, then change CopyPrimaryKeys to True and the other corresponding properties in the task.

How to connect one database in two threads?

Dear All,
If anyone can tell me how to connect one database concurrently?
I tried the following idea:
1.create a Hashtable to keep database objects(those databases have been opened)
2.Before openning(connecting) a database:first step is to check the hashtable.
If the the database object is in the hashtable, this object will be returned.
If the datatbase object is not in the hastable, open the database and store this opened database object into the hashtable.
I failed the test of this implementation. My test is:Create two threads (extend java Thread class).In each of these two threads, try to open the same database.Just like the following:
MyThread thread1 = new MyThread();
MyThread thread2 = new MyThread();
thread1.start();
thread2.start();
I guessed the database object in the hashtable would be returned in the second thread.Unfortunatly, I only got an exception which meant the database couldn't be opened twice.It looks like the second thread happened before the opened database object stored into the hashtable.
I cannot figure out if my design is wrong or my test application is wrong.
I really appriatiate your attentions!!!
Lu

um not sure i follow exactly but in your code add the word synchronise to it and this means only 1 tread can access it at any 1 time.
So your could have a class which is a singleton so it only opens the dbase once and then all other access share your connection.
so
public class foo{
foo INSTANCE = new foo();
private foo(){} //private constructor
then all your methods use foo's internal dbase connection. Am i making sense

Where is the database object administration GUI in Oracle XE 11g?

Please read my whole question, because I'm sure people will misunderstand, and tell me to load http://localhost:8080/apex in my browser. I know that is there.
I am a previous user of Oracle XE 10g, but I just installed Oracle Express 11g. I only want to use it to get a local instance of Oracle database. The 10g APEX UI provided an easy way to administer database objects (users, schemas, and the like), but it appears the 11g APEX UI is some kind of weird application development environment that I don't want to use. It doesn't even seem aware of the schemas I created in the database using SQL Plus.
So, where is the regular admin GUI for Oracle database objects like users/schemas (i.e. something that will list the schemas that exist in the database, and allow me to add or delete them)? Or does 11g force you to do that using SQL (in which case, I'm going to go back to 10g).
Thanks,
Jeff

No, SQL workshop is not what I want.
Basically, I don't want to deal with this concept of a "workspace" at all. It's useless to me and just gets in my way. All I want is a a UI where I can view a list of the schemas that exist in the database, and manipulate them easily.
I have TOAD, so I could use that, but I liked the old 10g administration GUI, since it provided the exact functionality at the exact level of complexity that I needed.
