Generic lookup table for multiple tables

I'm sure this issue has come up and been solved before. If this is not the right place for this post, please let me know the correct forum.
Here is an issue I have. I have multiple tables of different inventory items. Each inventory item can have multiple notes/actions associated or a note or action can be assigned to multiple devices. So I have a many-to-many relationship and need a lookup table. I would like to create just one lookup table not a lookup table for each combination.
My first thought was to create a main table to hold all primary keys and table names and connecting the lookup table to that.
1. Create main GUID table to hold all primary keys and table names
2. All primary keys will be created by sys.guid to ensure all keys are unique.
3. The Lookup table primary key will be a composite key
4. If a Note is deleted – it deletes from the main GUID table and the delete cascades down to all other tables.
CREATE TABLE "ND_NOTE"
(     "GUID" NUMBER,
     "NOTE_DESCRIPTION" VARCHAR2(4000),
     CONSTRAINT "ND_NOTE_PK" PRIMARY KEY ("GUID") ENABLE
ALTER TABLE "ND_NOTE" ADD CONSTRAINT "ND_NOTE_FK" FOREIGN KEY ("GUID")
     REFERENCES "ND_GUID" ("GUID") ENABLE
CREATE TABLE "ND_VIRTUAL_COMP"
(     "GUID" NUMBER,
     "VIRTUAL_COMP_NAME" VARCHAR2(4000),
     CONSTRAINT "ND_VIRTUAL_COMP_PK" PRIMARY KEY ("GUID") ENABLE
ALTER TABLE "ND_VIRTUAL_COMP" ADD CONSTRAINT "ND_VIRTUAL_COMP_FK" FOREIGN KEY ("GUID")
     REFERENCES "ND_GUID" ("GUID") ON DELETE CASCADE ENABLE
CREATE TABLE "ND_GUID"
(     "GUID" NUMBER,
     "TABLE_NAME" VARCHAR2(4000),
     "STATUS" NUMBER,
     CONSTRAINT "ND_GUID_PK" PRIMARY KEY ("GUID") ENABLE
CREATE TABLE "ND_NOTE_LK"
(     "GUID" NUMBER,
     "ANY_OTHER_GUID" NUMBER,
     CONSTRAINT "ND_NOTE_LK_CON" PRIMARY KEY ("GUID", "ANY_OTHER_GUID") ENABLE
ALTER TABLE "ND_NOTE_LK" ADD CONSTRAINT "ND_NOTE_LK_FK" FOREIGN KEY ("GUID")
     REFERENCES "ND_GUID" ("GUID") ON DELETE CASCADE ENABLE
ALTER TABLE "ND_NOTE_LK" ADD CONSTRAINT "ND_NOTE_LK_FK2" FOREIGN KEY ("ANY_OTHER_GUID")
     REFERENCES "ND_GUID" ("GUID") ON DELETE CASCADE ENABLE
Is there a better way to do this? I feel like I'm talking myself into circles.

Generic HTTP URL For Multiple Interfaces

Hi All,
Please suggest on the following requirement. I am using PI 7.31 Single stack (Java only version).
There are multiple HTTP to Proxy interfaces and each interface has different source structure.
The requirement is --- How to utilize a single HTTP URL for all the interfaces.
The major challenge is the source structure for all the interfaces is different.
Kindly Suggest....
Regards,
Nitin...

Hi Nitin,
One solution is to create one sender interface (with either multiple operation of each interface or having all structure in different node and optional occurrence), then use operation specific mapping.

Generic Table Control in ABUMN for multiple transfer of assets

Hi Experts,
Problem Description
We are trying to use transaction ABUMN for multiple asset transfer.
We need to transfer more than one assets to multiple assets by quantity
and value.
Our Efforts/Observation
Instead of going ahead with BDC/LSMW, we tried using table control to utilize standard SAP functionality.
For making this happen, we are trying to use the Generic Table control which is available in ABUMN once you click on "Multiple assets" button.
However, even though we are making fields like
EL7, EL8 etc available in the screen (by removing check from the "Invisible" check box), they are in display mode and are not giving me any option to select quantity and value that needs to be transferred from each asset.
We need to assign these fields to some field like quantity/percentage so that they can be used.
If you see, the column header is also blank.
We need to transfer hundreds of assets, hence requesting you to please
fix this urgently so that we can transfer assets and close the quarter.
Thanks in advance for your help and support,
Nitish Gupta
+919867458892

Hi Nitish,
I'm sorry, transaction ABUMN will never get this functionality you requested.
For mass transfer, customers have the possibilities to use batch input on transaction ABUM or BAPI.
Please refer customer to the following note :   216806 New posting transactions and batch input

One sequence for multiple lookup tables?

I am sorry if this is off-topic, however can anybody advise what is better - use one sequence for all tables (lookup tables) or to create unique sequence for each table?

[ADF Help] How to create a view for multiple tables

Hi,
I am using Jdeveloper 11G and ADF framework, and trying to create a view to update multiple tables.
ex:
Table A has these fields: ID, Name
Table B has these fields: ID, Address
A.ID and B.ID are primary keys.
B.ID has FK relationship with A.ID
(basically, these tables have one-to-one relation)
I want to create a view object, which contains these fields: B.ID (or A.ID), A.Name, B.Address.
So I can execute C,R,U,D for both tables.
I create these tables in DB, and create entity objects for these tables.
So there are 2 entity objects and 1 association.
Then I create a view object based on B and add fields of A into the view:
If the association is not a "Composition Association",
when I run the model ("Oracle Business Component Browser") and try to insert new data, fields of A can't edit.
If the association is a "Composition Association", and click the insert button, I will get
"oracle.jbo.InvalidOwnerException: JBO-25030: Failed to find or invalidate owning entity"
If I create a view object based on A and add filed of B into the view:
When I run the model and try to insert new data, fields of B can't edit, no matter the association is or is not a composition association.
So... how can I create a view for multiple tables correctly?
Thanks for any advices!
Here are some pictures about my problem, if there is any unclear point, please let me know.

Edited by: user8093176 on Oct 25, 2009 12:29 AM

Hi Branislav,
Thanks, but the result is same ....
In the step 2 of creating view object, I can select entity objects to be added in to the view.
If I select A first, and then select B (the "Source Usage" of B is A), then finishing the wizards.
When I try to create a new record in the view, I can't edit any properties of B (those files are disabled).
If I select B first, and then select A in crating view object, the result is similar ...
Thanks for any further suggestion.

Project Server 2010 - create a custom enterprise project field for persons (no text, no lookup table...)

I want to create a custom enterprise project field and would like to use instead of for example a text attribute or a look-up table a field for employees (e.g. project manager) which are coming e.g. from the Active Directory. But when creating this custom
project field I cannot see such an option. What solution do you suggest as I want to avoid that everybody uses different names and spellings for e.g. the project manager and without having to fill the lookup table with all resources of the company.
Thank you so much for your help!

Are you using Proejct Server 2007, 2010, 2013?

Multiple columns (named the same originally) and mapped to the same lookup table are causing a Cube Build issue

Hey folks, looking for some insight here.
I've an implementation that contains some custom Enterprise columns mapped to lookup tables. In the instance I'm working with now, it looks like there was/is an issue with one of those columns. In this scenario, I have a column named
ProjectType, created initially with that name, mapped to a lookup table. This field's name was then changed to
Project Type. After that, it looks like another column was created, also called
ProjectType. So now, we have what I would have originally thought was two distinct columns, even though the names used are the same.
Below is the error we're currently getting during the Cube Build Process...
PWA:http://ps2010/PWA, ServiceApp:Project Web App, User:DOMAIN\user, PSI: SqlException occurred in DAL: <Error><Class>1</Class><LineNumber>1</LineNumber><Number>4506</Number><Procedure>MSP_EpmProject_OlapView_B8546719-4D4C-473A-84B1-89DEDA2307E0</Procedure>

I've tried deleting the one column, but the build still gives the above error.
Any thoughts as to how the above could be resolved?
Thanks! - M

We tried taking it out of the cubes, and it builds fine. The challenge we're having is in building the cubes with that custom field "ProjectType". It's as if the cubes still hold some reference to it even when it's deleted.
Since the OLAP View ('MSP_EpmProject_OlapView_{guid}') is recreated, would it be as simple as deleting that View, and trying to recreate?
Thanks - M

Remote key for lookup tables

Hi,
I need some advice on remote keys for lookup tables.
We have loaded lookup data from several client system into the MDM repository. Each of the client system can have diffferences in the lookup values. What we need to do is to enable the keymappings so that the syndicator would know which value belongs to which system.
The tricky part is. We haven't managed to send out the values based on the remote keys. We do <b></b>not<b></b> want to send the lookup tables themselves but the actually main table records. All lookup data should be checked at the point of the syndication and only the used lookup values that orginally came from one system should be send to that particular system. Otherwise they should be tag should be blank.
Is this the right approach to handle this demand or is there a different way to take care of this? What would be the right settings in the syndicator?
Help will be rewarded.
Thank you very much
best regards
Nicolas

Hi Andreas,
that is correct. Let's take two examples:
1) regions
2) Sales Area data (qualified lookup data)
Both tables are filled and loaded directly from the R/3s. So you would already know which value belongs to which system.
The problem that I have is that we will not map the remote key from the main table because it will be blank for new created master data (Centralization scenario). Therefore we cannot map the remote key from the attached lookup tables, can we?
The remote key will only work for lookup tables if the remote key of the actual master data is mapped. Since we don't have the remote key (local customer ID form R/3) in MDM and since we do not create it at the point of the syndication... how would the SAP standard scenario would look like for that?
This is nothing extraordinary it's just a standard centralization scneario.
Please advice.
Thanks alot
best regards
Nicolas

Create key mapping using import manager for lookup table FROM EXCEL file

hello,
i would like create key mapping while importing the values via excel file.
the source file containing the key, but how do i map it to the lookup table?
the properties of the table has enable the creation of mapping key. but during the mapping in import manager, i cant find any way to map the key mapping..
eg
lookup table contains:
Material Group
Code
excel file contain
MatGroup1 Code System
Thanks!
Shanti

Hi Shanti,
Assuming you have already defined below listed points
1) Key Mapping "Yes" to your lookup table in MDM Console
2) Created a New Remote System in MDM console
3) proper rights for your account for updating the remote key values in to data manager through import manager.
Your sample file can have Material Group and Code alone which can be exported from Data Manager by File-> Export To -> Excel, if you have data already in Data Manager.
Open your sample file through Import Manager by selecting the remote system for which you want to import the Key mapping.
(Do Not select MDM as Remote System, which do not allows you to maintain key mapping values) and also the file type as Excel
Now select your Soruce and Destination tables, under the destination fields you will be seeing a new field called [Remote Key]
Map you source and destination fields correspondingly and Clone your source field code by right clicking on code in the source hierarchy and map it to Remote Key if you want the code to be in the remote key values.
And in the matching criteria select destination field code as a Matching field and change the default import action to Update NULL fields or UPDATED MAPPED FIELDS as required,
After sucessfull import you can check the Remote Key values in Data Manager.
Hope this helps
Thanks

Can we use single DB Adapter for multiple tables

Hi,
I have 3 tables. ONE is the Master table and other 2 tables having Primary and foreign key relationships with the Master Table.
Data is enter in the Tables 2 & 3 (based on Master Table Primary key)
I have to use a DB Adapter in BPEL Process which will be in Transaction (what type of Transaction is Best in such a Scenario).
- How do i implement it in BPEL.
- Can i use a Single DB Adapter for Multiple Tables ? (*Views* should not be created for tables 1, 2 & 3),
as we want to avoid using multiple DB Adapters, as in future Tables may increase or decrease...
- while in Transaction if Table 2 fails in Inserting / Updating, it should roll back on error and also if Table 3 fails in Inserting / Updating, it should roll back table 2 and Table 3.
- how access to concurrent users is maintained / managed in such a scenarios.
But everything should be done using Single DB Adapter without creating a separate view.
Is this Possible in BPEL..
If not, How do we design, Implementation such a BPEL Process in Transaction with a best in Performance (both BPEL Process & DB Resources)
thanks in advance
thanks & regards,
anvv sharma

Hi,
Thanks for your quick response.
I have few quires.
If we use PL/SQL, how do we implement transaction and Exception Handling appropriately based on the Error / Exception in BPEL.
If the Table 2 or Table 3 gives out Error / Exception, i have to handle it separately and intimate accordingly.
Suppose, if Table 2 got Error / Exception - Error Handling would be 'Roll back due to error in Table2'
Thanks & regads,

Proper use of a Lookup table and adaptations for NET

Hello,
I need to create a few lookup tables and I often see the following:
create table Languages
Id int identity not null primary key (Id),
Code nvarchar (4) not null,
Description nvarchar (120) not null,
create table Posts
Id int identity not null primary key (Id),
LanguageId int not null,
Title nvarchar (400) not null,
insert into Languages (Id, Code, Description)
values (1, "en", "English");
This way I am localizing Posts with language id ...
IMHO, this is not the best scheme for Languages table because in a Lookup table the PK should be meaningful, right?
So instead I would use the following:
create table Languages
Code nvarchar (4) not null primary key (Code),
Description nvarchar (120) not null,
create table Posts
Id int identity not null primary key (Id),
LanguageCode nvarchar (4) not null,
Title nvarchar (400) not null,
insert into Languages (Code, Description)
values ("en", "English");
The NET applications usually use language code so this way I can get a Post in English without using a Join.
And with this approach I am also maintaining the database data integrity ...
This could be applied to Genders table with codes "M", "F", countries table, transaction types table (should I?), ...
However I think it is common to use int as PK in lookup tables because it is easier to map to ENUMS.
And know it is even possible to map to Flag Enums so have a Many to Many relationship in an ENUM.
That helps in NET code but in fact has limitations. A Languages table could never be mapped to a FLags Enum ...
... An flags enum can't have more than 64 items (Int64) because the keys must be a power of two.
A SOLUTION
I decided to find an approach that enforces database data integrity and still makes possible to use enums so I tried:
create table Languages
Code nvarchar (4) not null primary key (Code),
Key int not null,
Description nvarchar (120) not null,
create table Posts
Id int identity not null primary key (Id),
LanguageCode nvarchar (4) not null,
Title nvarchar (400) not null,
insert into Languages (Code, Key, Description)
values ("en", 1, "English");
With this approach I have a meaningfully Language code, I avoid joins and I can create an enum by parsing the Key:
public enum LanguageEnum {
[Code("en")
English = 1
I can even preserve the code in an attribute. Or I can switch the code and description ...
What about Flag enums? Well, I will have not Flag enums but I can have List<LanguageEnum> ...
And when using List<LanguageEnum> I do not have the limitation of 64 items ...
To me all this makes sense but would I apply it to a Roles table, or a ProductsCategory table?
In my opinion I would apply only to tables that will rarely change over time ... So:
    Languages, Countries, Genders, ... Any other example?
About the following I am not sure (They are intrinsic to the application):
   PaymentsTypes, UserRoles
And to these I wouldn't apply (They can be managed by a CMS):
   ProductsCategories, ProductsColors
What do you think about my approach for Lookup tables?
Thank You,
Miguel

>>IMHO, this is not the best scheme for Languages table because in a Lookup table the PK should be meaningful, right?<<
Not necessarily. The choice to use, or not to use, a surrogate key in a table is a preference, not a rule. There are pros and cons to either method, but I tend to agree with you. When the values are set as programming terms, I usually use a textual value
for the key. But this is nothing to get hung up over.
Bear in mind however, that this:
    create table Languages
      Id int identity not
null primary key
(Id),
      Code nvarchar (4)
not null, Description nvarchar
(120) not
null,
is not equivalent to
    create table Languages
      Code nvarchar (4)
not null primary
key (Code),
      Description nvarchar (120)
not null,
The first table needs a UNIQUE constraint on Code to make these solutions semantically the same. The first table could have the value 'Klingon' in it 20 times while the second only once.
>>However I think it is common to use int as PK in lookup tables because it is easier to map to ENUMS.<<
This was going to be my next point. For that case, I would only change the first table to not have an identity assigned key value, as it would be easier to manage at the same time and manner as the enum.
>>. A Languages table could never be mapped to a FLags Enum ...<<
You could, but I would highly suggest to avoid any values encoded in a bitwise pattern in SQL as much as possible. Rule #1 (First Normal Form) is partially to have 1 value per column. It is how the optimizer thinks, and how it works best.
My rule of thumb for lookup (or I prefer the term "domain" tables, as really all tables are there to look up values :)), is all data should be self explanatory in the database, through data if at all possible. So if you have a color column,
and it contains the color "Vermillion", and all you will ever need is the name, and you feel like it is good enough to manage in the UI, then great. But bear in mind, the beauty of a table that is there for domain purposes, is that you can then store
the R, G, and B attributes of the vermillion color (254, 73, 2 respectively, based on
http://www.colorcombos.com/colors/FE4902) and you can then use that in coding. Alternate names for the color could be introduce, etc. And if UserRoles are 1, 2, 3, and 42 (I have seen worse), then
definitely add columns. I think you are basically on the right track.

Without good requirements, my advice is only guesses. Please don't hold it against me if my answer answers my interpretation of your questions.

User Datastore for multiple tables and columns!

Hi,
I hop so much, someone can help me.
I've made a user datastore to index multiple columns of multiple tables.
Now, the Documentation of Oracle explains the idexing of one table.
I have multiple tables, which have all, the columns descr and tagnr. I want to make a query sth like this:

Kind Regards,
Arsineh

Arsineh,
I realise that it has been quite some time since you posted this question but I thought I'd reply just in case you never did manage to get your user datastore working.
The reason your procedure will not work is simple. A user datastore procedure accepts a rowid input parameter. The rowid is the ID of the row that Oracle Text is currently trying to index. In the example you have given, you are attempting to use the supplied rowid as the primary key for multiple tables, this will simply never work as the rowid's across multiple tables will never correspond.
The best way to achieve your goal is to create the index on a master table which contains the common primary keys for each of your four tables e.g.
MASTER_TABLE
COL:COMMON_KEY (NUMBER(n))
COL:USER_INDEX_COLUMN (VARCHAR2(1))
If you create the user datastore index on the MASTER_TABLE.USER_UNDEX_COLUMN column your stored proc simply needs to read the correct row from the MASTER_TABLE (SELECT t.common_key into v_CommonKey FROM master_table t WHERE t.rowid = rid) and issue subsequent queries to extract the relavant data from the t1..t4 tables using the common key e.g.
SELECT t1.tagnr, t1.descr into v_tagnr, v_descr FROM t1 WHERE t1.[PRIMARY_KEY_FIELD] = v_CommonKey;
SELECT t2.tagnr, t2.descr into v_tagnr, v_descr FROM t2 WHERE t2.[PRIMARY_KEY_FIELD] = v_CommonKey;
and so on...
Hope this helps

Javascript code to enable an ADD button to create duplicate tables and pages for multiple entries

I am using Adobe XI Pro. I have created a multi-page fillable pdf questionnaire that I want to make interactive to the user. Within each page, I have multiple tables that can have ADD buttons to duplicate the table if the client wants more than one test. I would like this table to insert directly below the previous table and they may be able to add upto 5 of these table.
I also have a couple pages in the questionnaire that require duplication for multiple samples. Eg. One page per sample, and I may have upto 10 samples. I would like the javascript to have an ADD button and then add each page behind the previous related sheet (Original and duplicates together)
I am not a javascript coder so I would need some examples and a walk through. I did take some developer courses in engineering but it has been almost two decades
I have search on several forums and cannot find a good resource so I appreciate the help.

Some of what you want to do can be done using template features and a bit of JavaScript, but if your users will be using Reader, version 11 will be required. You can dynamically add new pages, but adding new tables to existing pages with reflow of content that comes after is not possible with a form created in Acrobat. If you have access to Adobe's LiveCycle Designer form creation software, you can create what's known as a dynamic XFA form that can do all of what you want. You can ask in the LiveCycle Designer forum for more information: http://forums.adobe.com/community/livecycle/livecycle_modules_and_development_tools/livecy cle_designer_es?view=discussions
