How to extract a shema into a diagram?

I am currently responsible for the database that has been in production for a long time but there is very little document about it. (It's been developed and managed by different people who are no longer in the job). In order to understand the current schema with all relations, its constraints and dependencies, I want to extract the schema into a diagram which shows all the detailed above.
Could anyone please give me an idea or suggestion on how to do this? Someone recommended me to use Visio with the option "Reverse Engineer" to do this work. Is it workable and reliable?
I'd appreciate your help. Thank you in advance

Hi Chandu,
Thank you for your input.
You said creating a time charactristic type of length 6, do you mean to say a chacteristic of type number with lenght 6 (same as in 0CALWEEK). The next doubt is if i creat atributes FROM and TO date then, do i need to write any routine to specify that the Week Number falls in between from and to date.
As you said you have the same scenario, can you just provide me some more clear input on this.
Your input is highly appriciated.
Regards
Shankar

    will any one tell me how should i extract jar files into a location in my project folder and then how to import the class files for further usage?
    Thank you .

    I will be graeateful if u could explain this a bit.
    Do you want to say that i should craete instance of
    ZipEntry like this
    InputStream is =
    jarFile.getInputStream(entry);
    File inputFile = new
    File("C:\\myclasses.data");
    FileInputStream fis=
    new FileInputStream(inputFile);No! You need to write the entry using FileOutputStream copying all the bytes of the ZipEntry InputStream to the FileOutputStream.
    >
    What about adding into a directory?Do i have to
    create on dynamically?Yes! You can use File.mkdirs(). For example
                        File ofile = new File("your directory where you will place the zip entries" + zipEntry.getName());
                        ofile.getParentFile().mkdirs();

  • How to extract material deletions into BI ?

    Hi experts,
    Suppose if a material is deleted on R/3 side, how to extract the data of that deletion of material into bi system. Is there any field which is updated when a material is deleted ?
    Please give the technical name of the field and the specified data source.
    Regards,
    Naveen .

    Hi,
    you can´t delete materials on the R/3 side. It can be only archivated, if you don´t need it any more. You lost the archivated material if you delete the master data for 0MATERIAL (or another infoobject you use) on BW side and you make a full upload for master data from R/3. There is no update field for archivation.

  • How to extract Oracle data into Excel file?

    For a small automation project I have to extract data from a table/
    tables and append it to the existing excel file and feed that excel
    file to a command that will load data into some other environment. I
    am totally new to this. So to get started I wanted to know,
    1) How to extract data from sample table Foo which has columns A,B,C
    and append these values as new columns to an existing excel say
    fooresults.csv ?
    2) Can I achieve this in pl/sql script or do I need to write unix or
    perl script or some other programing language, please advise?

    The "extract data from a table" part is easy, you could do that with VB/ADO, or .NET/ODP.NET. It's then a matter of taking that data and appending it to a spreadsheet that might be the hard part, and how you'd do that exactly is really more of a Microsoft question than an Oracle one.
    If you want to be able to do this from the database itself and your database is on Windows, you could use either [.NET Stored Procedures|http://www.oracle.com/technology/tech/dotnet/ode/index.html] if you can manipulate the spreadsheet in .net code, or you could also use Oracle's [COM Automation Feature|http://www.oracle.com/technology/tech/windows/com_auto/index.html] if you're handy with the COM object model for Excel.
    How you'd do that exactly via either .net or com or vb is the crux of the problem and is something you'd need to know before it turns into an Oracle question, but if you already know how to do that and now just need to figure out a way to do that from Oracle, either of the above might help.
    Hope it helps,

  • How to extract PDF files into the directory the PDF file is located in.

    I use Adobe Acrobat to extract all the pages within a single PDF file to single page PDF files.  However the steps are long, as the path to a directory where i wish to extract is thru the net work and the default location for Adobe is to my C:Drive... So I have to Browse the path to extract to Which can be between 10 and 15 steps depending on the job folders.  Most programs when you extract, the default path is usually where the file location is, with an option to change the path.. makes sense and is very easy.
    So without making a short cut(because the path constantly changes depending on the jobs).  How do I extract directly to the folder that the PDF file is in?   Example, when you extract a zip file, its default location is right there where the zip file is in. Quite simple and logical.

    Thanks Gilad, but that does not make the task easier.  The path always changes as the files are being organized into folders.  Its kind of sad that $400 software can't do what most free ware can do.  Extract itself into the folder it is sitting in.

  • How to extract Cognos Data into Business Objects?

    Hi All,
    I would like to know whether anyway to pull Cognos data into Business Objects?
    1. Pull data thru Universe from Cognos Cubes?
    2. Pull data using Crystal reports from Cognos Cubes?
    3. Or any otehr method of pulling data from Cognos Cubes?
    If nothing is possible I would have to explore using the RDBMS Tables to build Universe, WebI and then present in Xcelsius. Anybody is aware of getting data from Cognos?
    Thanks in advance.
    Alex.

    Cognos Reporting on SAP BI data
    We need to create a new project to import the structure of the SAP BI cube or Multiprovider.
    Enter User ID and password.
    Click on OK
    It will ask you to enter the User ID and password again. After enter the User ID and password it will ask you to select the language.
    Then it will ask you to select the metadata source, select the Data source as shown in below fig. and click next.
    Select the data Source as shown in below.
    Here we are planning to import SAP BW cube so we have to select SAP BW and click on next.
    Select sign on and Click on OK.
    Here we have to select our desired cube or multiprovider and click next.
    Now we have to select the language again.
    Here Cognos is giving the flexibility to use different options when importing cube structures.
    Here I am selecting to use the technical name of the objects and to bring same model as it is in SAP BI.
    Finally it will show list of all objects which are imported from SAP BI.
    When you click on finish it will take to the frame work manager. There you will see the SAP BI Cube Structure.
    Now it is exactly imported like SAP BW extended star schema model.
    Here you can compare the technical names of the dimensions in both in Cognos and SAP BI is same.
             COGNOS    Model                                         SAP BI Cube model         
    Here I am comparing the values of the info Objects with in one dimension.
                   Cognos Model                                                   SAP BI Model
    If there are any hierarchies in BI, it will form separately as shown in below fig.
    When you open the main object of Program definition, we will find 3 objects under this.
    It is always recommendable to use Level 01 objects.
    This is how it looks when you open all the above 3 objects. You can use any of those depends on your report requirement.
    When you open the info object if you see number of different items, that means this info object has got attributes in it.
    0COMP_CODE is the technical name of the info object in BI.
    In Cognos if it technical name starts with 1  Short Text of the Info Object.
                                                                       2  Key of the Info Object.
                                                                       4  Long Text of the Info Object.
                                                             5  Medium Text of the Info Object.
    LELEL00  Is Summarized values.
    LEVEL01  Is Item level values of Info Object.
    Once you see this in bw/bi environment, i hope you know how to gather and use it in BOBJ environment !!

  • How to extract image keywords into a database?

    We want to use Bridge to add keywords to image files, then upload the images (around 3,000 of them) to our website. We then need to extract the keywords (which seems to be the tricky part) into a database but still link them to the images so the images can be searched by keyword. We also need to create three smaller resolution versions of each image, but this seems to be less of a problem than extracting and using the keywords. Does anyone have experience of implementing such functionality or have any suggestions?

    I don't think this is possible (I know it can't be done in Bridge itself) but you might try this question in the dedicated Bridge Scripting forum for a possible solution. I believe extracting keywords in an excel sheet is possible, the other problem might be trickier.

    how to extract the report into excel file?
    which function module i have to use ?

    Hi Pavan,
    If you want to download the displayed list in the Excel file,then at the time when the list is displayed on the screen, you can go to System option on the menu bar,from there go to List and then Save.You will get a pop up which shows you all the formats of download available.Select the one you want to and mention the target path of the file on the Presentation server.
    Secondly,you can use the T-codes "CG3Y" to download the data from the Application Server to the Presentation Server and T-code "CG3Z" for vice-versa.
    Or else you can use any of the FMs to first download the ABAP list to the ASCII or the BIN format and then convert it to excel using the FM "SAP_CONVERT_TO_XLS_FORMAT" or "TEXT_CONVERT_XLS_TO_SAP
    I hope I have tried to answer your query.
    In case of any further queries,please let know.

    Good morning Ashok,
    Your data is in a SQL*Loader supported datatype, so basically it should not be a problem.
    Have you checked the Database Utilities guide (for Oracle9i for instance: http://www.lc.leidenuniv.nl/awcourse/oracle/server.920/a96652/toc.htm) on how to handle this?
    I'll also repeat my previous question, have you ever been able to load data into the database using SQL*Loader (either using ASCII values or any other datatype)?
    For the OWB part, have you read "Importing Data Definitions" (typically chapter 4)? More specifically, "Specifying Field Properties" in "About Flat File Sources and Targets"?
    In "SQL*Loader Properties" it says the following:
    Type Describes the data type of the field for the SQL*Loader. You can use the Flat
    File Sample Wizard to import the following data types: CHAR, DATE, DECIMAL
    EXTERNAL, FLOAT EXTERNAL, INTEGER EXTERNAL, ZONED , AND ZONED
    EXTERNAL. For complete information on SQL*Loader field and data types, refer to
    Oracle9i Utilities. Currently, only portable datatypes are supported.
    If you check the database utitlities guide (chapter 6 Field List Reference) and look for "SQL*Loader Datatypes", you'll find (packed) decimal under the Nonportable Datatypes. This implies that OWB does not support it.
    This does not mean you can't use SQL*Loader, you'll only have to define everything separate from OWB and call it separately as well.
    Good luck, Patrick
