How convert spaces in logical model to underscores in physical model

Hi,
in Oracle Designer we used spaces in logical model objects (entities, attributes, relations) which were automatically converted to underscores when the physical model was generated from the logical one. Is there any way how do this conversion in Data Modeler? So far I have been able to convert mixed case in logical model to uppercase in physical model (with the exception of foreign keys) but changing space to underscores still eludes me.
Why I think this is important: the logical model should use "normal" language if possible, i.e. spaces, mixed case etc. But the physical model should have uppercase only and definitely no spaces. Having objects in Oracle defined with spaces leads to many difficulties since any reference to the object must use "" around the name of the object...
Thanks

Hi,
but the problems continues (even when the model is reduced to no entities at all!)
The error you reported (in engineering and import) cannot be reached if there are no entities and attributes - it's a specific error probably related to usage of distinct types that are removed from design.
You can use search functionality in order to find attributes/columns (logical/relational model) with incorrect data type definition based on distinct type.
And it's better to move to Data Modeler 4.0 (833).
So what to search (example is on logical model - it's the same for relational model - column):
1) Activate search window (CTRL-F when logical diagram is active, or Find icon), switch to advanced mode
2) for "Object type" Attribute:
- check "Data Type kind" line and put DT as search text
- check "Distinct type" line, don't put search text - it'll search for attributes without distinct type
- change the operand for expression from OR to AND
3) press "Find" button
If you find some attributes, then you need to decide what to do with them - to set data type or to delete them.
The same for columns in relational model.

How to create the logical file name

Hi All,
    I have requirement where i need to post the Inventory Management data. for this i need to execute std. program RM07MMBL which is having logical file name in the selection screen. but i have placed my input file in application server.
   Can any one tell how to create the Logical filename which refers the physical path. I also tried <b>t-code SF01 & Table - FILENAMEC</b>I and found that we need to add an entry in this table but i really dont know how we have to do since this table cannot be maintained in SM30 also..
Help Me.
Thanks in Advance!...
Regards,
Ramkumar

Hi Ram,
Try using FILE transaction code...
Follow these steps to create:::
Double click on Logical file Path Definition
Click on New Entries,
Give Logical file Path name as Z_LOGICAL PATH and save it
now choose this path and double click on Assignemt of Physical path to Logical path
double click on the OS name
Give some description and give some Physical path name from AL11 transaction and save it
Now Double click on Logical File Name Definition,
Click on New Entries,
Give some logical file name: Z_LOGICAL_FILENAME
Physical file: test
Data Format: BIN
Logical Path: Z_LOGICAL PATH
Hope this helps

Data Modeler - How to add foreign keys to physical model?

I imported few tables from data dictionary and tried to generate a DDL file. The DDL didn't include foreign keys for some reason. Then I noticed that the foreign keys are in the relational model but not in the physical model. How do I get those foreign keys to the physical model?

That's the place where I'm looking for the foreign keys in physical model. I noticed that in relational model the Generate check box of a foreign key was unchecked. When I checked it, the key appeared in the physical model. But why is it unchekced sometimes? This has happened only few times, usually the foreign keys do appear in the physical model. If I do something special during import, I don't know what it is...

Physical Model Data Type Issue

Hi,
I have created ware house tables using E-business suite tables for general ledger model and exported into physical model. I could see all my keys/IDs which were numbers have been converted into decimal.
Ex: journal_id in my oracle table is number (ex:1234). But when I exported into OBIEE and used view data option. All the IDs(data type number) data is showing as decimal format (1234.00).
Ex: If I want to see data for check number in answers, then it is showing as 112456.00 instead of 112456.
Please anyone had this kind of issue. how to resolve?
Is there any default setting which is causing this problem.how to find?
OBIEE version : 10.1.3.2
Appreciate your help.

Hi Sandeep,
When I opened the rpd in offline mode, it is saying the repository can only be opened as Read-Only. I clicked Yes for this and entered admin user name and password. But in Physical model, when I right clicked any table, I couldnt see find any place to modify. I tried with properties also. I am not able change data type as it read-only. How to do it in offline?
FYI,
I opened rpd when OC4J was stopped. Aslo I opened when OC4J is running. But both times I am not able to change datat type.
Thanks!!

Data modeling tool: physical model migration

Hi,
I have imported my relational model with a generated physical model for oracle 9i.
I'd like to migrate my DB to oracle 10g, but I don't feel like creating a new physical model for Oracle 10g from the scratch and configuring it all.
Is there any way to copy that oracle 9i physical model into an oracle 10g model? I know there could be any implementation change from 9i to 10g, but at least copy the main 99% (and warn about the 1% impossible to replicate in 10g).
Could this feature be taken into the production version?
By the way, is this a BUG? when I start the tool, my oracle 9i physical model is not shown in the tree, and I've to right-click over physical model, press open, and then select oracle 9i, to be shown in the tree. But I close the data modeling tool, and when I start again, there is no physical model shown in the tree :(
thanks a lot in advance, I'm evaluating the tool.

Thank you very much for your reply, and hearing those news makes me very happy, because I'm evaluating the product and I miss some functionality like that.
By the way, where can I find the new functionality or the fixed one that is going to be on the production release? Or could yo send it to me by email or any other way? I'm very interested in it.

Data modeler, physical model related view

Hi community,
is there a way to create a physical model related view in the data modeler or a better idea?
The reason is simple, let me say, I have a view with string concatenation and want use this view in oracle and sql server, the syntax is different.
In Oracle it is " column1 || ' ' || column2". The same thing in sql is "column1 + ' ' + column2"
Regards, Henrik

Hi Kent,
thank you for the answer, but it is not really a solution for me to copy the complete relational model to a second one! It is unfavorable for later changes on the model. You must do them all changes on both models.
Currently I have one relational model together with four physical models, Oracle 10, Oracle 11, Oracle 12 and MS Sql. If I work with stored functions, procedures, packages, triggers and so one, it is possible to change the content of these objects in the physical model, depending of the sql language and the database version features.
Only tables and views are not changeable and I’m not able to add a table or view to the physical model.
Other suggestions?
Regards, Henrik

Changing foreign key name in physical model

If I change foreign key name in physical model, it does not change in relational model. But when I change the name in relational model, the new name appears in physical model. This happens in Data Modeler 2 and 3EA2. Is it a bug or an intentional feature?

it's not a bug - the name in physical model "follows" the name in relational model until name in physical model is changed. It keeps the same value and changes in relational model do not affect it. original behavior can be restored if you set the same name as it is in relational model.
If I change foreign key name in physical model, it does not change in relational modelYou can look at physical model as specific implementation of relational model - changes do not go back in relational model.

Compare Physical model

I am a new user here...
I just created my first model in SQL Developer data modeler .... I have been happy so far....
Question is: is there a way to compare physical model changes to Dataabase schema and generage DDL STMT?
Scenario: I created a relational schema and physical model in data modeler and generaged DDL script which I ran in to new schema... and created a working environment... for the applcation.
Now i made some Foreign key to initially defferred and saved data model. But when I compare this updated foreign key (physical model changes) changes to DB.... it doesn't show it being changed.
I just want to know if I am missing anything here.
Thank you in advance and please let me know if I need to provide any further information.
Data modeler version: 3.1.1.703 ( just got new version to see if this one fixes my problem... but still not help)
-R

Thank you Philip for clarifying the functionality.
Just wondering, is there a plan to support this functionality in near future?
I am sure there are many users like me who created their data model using Data modeler and configured initial physical model properties..... and successfully created their database .... and also want to use this too to configure further chagnes in data model and have them merged with DB.....
Thank you

How to delete the logical lines in JTextArea

Hi all,
Now that I know how to find the logical line count in JTextArea as
I found the following in the forum.
public static int getLineCount (JTextArea _textArea)
boolean lineWrapHolder = _textArea.getLineWrap();
_textArea.setLineWrap(false);
double height = _textArea.getPreferredSize().getHeight();
_textArea.setLineWrap(lineWrapHolder);
double rowSize = height/_textArea.getLineCount();
return (int) (_textArea.getPreferredSize().getHeight() / rowSize);
I want to delete the 4th line to the last line and append ... at the 4th, if the getLineCount exceeds 3. Does any body know how to do so?
The intention is for the multiline tooltip as I just want to show
the first three logical line and ... if the string is too long.
Thanks

The code looks good to me. The only thought I have is that the y coordinate for the rowThree point is wrong and is referencing row four.
I've been playing around with using a JTextArea as a renderer for a JTable. I have it working so that "..." appear when the text exceeds 2 rows. Try clicking on "B" in the letter column and then the update cell button a few times to add text. My code is slightly different than yours.

Hmmm? A quick google search for external optical readers turns up many in the $20-$40 (USD) range. Didn't convert to £ or include any VAT charges, but you should be able to get something significantly cheaper than £70. That's your simplest solution.

Importing logical and physical model from Sybase power designer/Erwin

Hello,
We have several models created in Sybase Power designer, logical and as a well as physical. Is there a way to directly import models into Oracle designer?
Thank you for your help.
Syed

Hi Syed,
ERwin has a facility to export to Designer 2000. Of course you're probably not using Designer 6.0 or earlier so it's of little use.
I have been looking at a couple of tools for importing from ERwin: Reischmann Informatiks TOOLBUS Interface for Oracle Designer and ALLFusion ERwin; and Meta Integration Technologys Meta Integration Model Bridge (MIMB). Neither product is free (nor inexpensive) but if you've got a number of models to convert then the tools seem cheap by comparison. Also, none of the products that I've looked at recreate the actual diagrams (not that I expected them to).
I am leaning towards TOOLBUS as it provides more complete migration of Logical and Physical models (especially the linkages between the models) using Oracle Designers API rather than a DAT file as provided by MIMB.
Hope this helps,

Logical and Physical Models

Hi All,
I'm new to Designer. I need to produce a logical data model in Oracle Designer 10g. I have created a few tables in the RON and have used Design Editor to add these to a Server Model. I think this is giving me the physical model rather than the logical model.
Can you please tell me if I'm going about this the wrong way ? I need the logical model to confirm with the non-technical people before I produce the physical model for the techies.
Thanks

Hi,
John - yes I have already checked all this, all looks ok. Also, I'm only using the REPOS_MANAGER account for now so permissions should not be an issue.
Mark - when you say create an entity in the RON, I can create tables, how would I create an entity in the RON ? I can go to Diagrams in the RON and see my ERD.
When I installed the repository I do remember having to go to the SYS account to grant an execute on a package to the REPOS_MANAGER user because one of the REPOS_MANAGER packages required it.
Any direction would be appreciated ?
Thanks
BillyAh, but that IS the issue. You shouldn't use the repository owner account for your day to day work. Create another Oracle user and grant it privileges through the RAU. Then connect as that user to work in Designer. Oddly enough, the repository owner doesn't have the privileges that it needs - the privileges are stored in the repository, not database privileges.

How I can get Logic pro 7?

I have used Logic since the day it was "born" till version 5.5 (on Pc). Now I bought Logic pro 9 (& Mac...) and succeeded to load songs from version 5.5
but when I loaded songs from former version, I think 4.0, I have got a note says that I need version 7 to convert them.
What am I suppose to do?

Thanks, but the subject was "How can get get Logic pro 7?"
I mean can I get it from apple free as a logic 9 user? or there other way?

In fact it's about mac:excel, how convert in a cell a number written in text format into a value?

in fact it's about mac:excel8 or 11 in OSX10.7.4,
how convert in a cell a number written in text format into its value?
cheers francois

Hi francois,
If I copyone of them and do a past special/value, it does not work.
Try just Paste instead of Paste Special > Value
I know your question is about Excel, but this works in Numbers:
Copy 1 234 567 (with spaces) and Paste (not Paste Special) into a Cell in a Numbers Table. The result is 1234567 and it behaves as a number. A formula will consider it to be a number:
You asked Wayne: what do you mean by "to reference a cell" ??
The reference is from Cell A2 to Cell A1 through a formula, such as: =A1+1

can someone tell me please how much space is occupied by Mountain Lion on hd? I whould like to buy a new Hybrid hd but it has only 8 Gb of nand flah memory.
I fear that operating system will be divided on both hd partitions (ssd and serial ata 5400 rpm.)... Someone have some experience with hybrid storage?
Thanks a lot
