How to make Filemaker as data store in ODI.

Hi
I have a requirement where i need to export data from Filemaker 11 to Oracle 11g, using ODI 11g . Is their any way to use Filemaker directly or by using ODBC connection of Filemaker to use it as data store to export data into Oracle database. Also let me know what measures need to be taken to make it happen?
Thanks in advance.
Regards
Sandeep.

Thanks Dev for responding,
I have created the ODBC DSN for filemaker tool and trying to add it in topology. But it is not recognizing into any datastore. Tried with sun-jdbc/odbc driver also in odi. But didn't work.
Can you suggest me how to connect the filemaker odbc in odi.
Thanks in advance.

How to create data stores in ODI ?

Hi all,
I am new to this ODI part.Can anyone please help me as how to create data stores in ODI.
A prompt reply will be highly aprreciated.
Thanks
Saurabh.

What do you mean by "create datastores"?
If you mean you want to reverse engineer existing tables from a database, then the phrase used in the ODI docs is "reverse enginnering". If you mean to create new tables in a database, then:
1) ODI is not meant to be a database design tool.
2) Using the "diagrams" node under a data model, you are able to use the "Common Format Designer" (CFD) tool to design and create the structure. The CFD tool is a simple ER-digram tool, but importantantly, if you drag structures in from one model to another, it remembers where it came from, allowing automatic generation of interfaces, and it automatically translates the data types.

How to make the 'Finish Date' field Editable in Project server 2013

Hi All,
In Project server 2013 on premises deployment, When I try to create a new enterprise project [Also in case of new custom project type], Only the 'Start Date' field is available. The 'Finish Date' field is by default taking the value of the 'start Date' itself.
I am unable to make this 'Finish Date' field editable.
Any pointers on this would be very helpful,
Thanks
Shanky

Shanky --
When you create a new project in either Microsoft Project Professional or Project Online, the system does not allow you to enter both a Start date and a Finish date for the project. Here is how the software works:
You enter the Start date of the project.
You completely plan the project with tasks, task dependencies, task Durations, and assigning resources to tasks.
Based on the Start date you provide, plus all of the task information, the software calculates the Finish date of the project for you. So, you cannot provide both the Start date and the Finish date, nor is they any way to force the system to allow
you to do this. Hope this helps.

How to make today's date be at the top of the page?

In month view, how can I make today's date appear at the top of the page? When it is late in the month, I don't need to see a month of past events--I need to see what is coming up.

MTM wrote:
I have a report in which the data from a repeating frame frequently spans several pages and I want to put a notation at the top of each new page that says "xxx continued...".
Assume the repeating frame rows for employee John which span all of page 1 and half of page 2. Then, rows for employee Sue are produced, continuing through the rest of page 2 and all of page 3. A third employee, Ted, STARTs on page 4.
At the top of page 2 I would like to have the notation "John continued...". Similarly, at the top of page 3, I'd like "Sue continued....".
The kicker is the condition where a new employee, STARTs at the top of page, like Ted, above. In that case, I do not want any message printed.
I sure would appreciate any insights......Check this {thread:id=2503674}
you will get idea.

How to use Filemaker database as datasource of ODI 11.1.1.5 for migration

Hi Everyone,
I am very new to ODI... and i have been assigned a work to migrate data from filemaker(10) database to Oracle 11g database by using ODI 11.1.1.5 tool.
Is their any way to add Filemaker(10) as datasource in ODI..IF their is any possibility pls respond with step by step procedure..
Thanks in advance,
Regards
Sandeep

Hello,
Your filemaker install should have come with a jdbc driver (.jar file). You'll need to check your filemaker pro documentation to confirm. Once you have the file, place it in the ODI/oracledi/agent/drivers folder where your agent lives (also place it on your client if you want to use the local agent for testing). You can then create a custom Technology in the Topology tab in ODI.
There are many options in the Technology definition which you will need to figure out based on what filemaker pro can handle and how it processes queries. Once the technology is created, add a Data Server and Physical Schema as you would any other technology. Then, build the model, datastores, interfaces, etc. just like any other tech.
Hope this gets you started.
Thank you,
Michael R.

Reverse engg data store using ODI SDK

how to I reverse engineer a data store and not a model using ODI SDK
Is there any class for reverse engg? Or should I use KM's?

When I reverse engg my delimited or fixed file, I am able to see the data of datastore; I used same datastore in interface
Yes , I used the data store in interface using code(sdk)
I am not doing anything manually in studio; everything is done through java code (using sdk)...but I have checked data of datastore by right clicking on it, its giving proper data
filedescriptor contains start position and num of bytes
your text file is looks like FIXED format,
my Delimited format text file:
empNo,empName
1,Deepa
2,Deepali
3,Patil
4,Deeps
and FIXED format text file:
10

if file format is Delimited we need not to worry about physical length or logical length, bcoz we are able to do reverse engg for that; which automatically set all fields
odiColumn.setLength(length); method sets both physical and logical length

Error when adding multiple source data stores in ODI Interface

I am trying to create an ODI Interface with couple of source tables and one target table. Say for example I am using the following data structure in my target table.
Order (Target Table)
order id
product id
customer id
address id
warehouse id
shipment id
for the above target table i need to extract data from each of the following source tables.
orderitem
product
customer
address
warehouse
shipment
Total 6 source tables i need to join however and load data for target table.
When I drag source data stores in to ODI interface mapping tab It throws the following Null Pointer Error. Due to this error I am not able to map target table with all the source tables.
Please suggest me what could be the reason for the error.

Hello,
does somebody have a solution for this issue?
I am new to ODI and have the same problem. I am using ODI Designer Standalone Edition Version 11.1.1.
Maybe there is something wrong with my configuration, maybe I am doing something wrong while creating the mapping graphically. It does not help to save and re-open the mapping. Also it does not help to re-reverse engineer the objects. Also it does not seem to have something to do with the number of objects joined (some objects seem to always cause this error, with some the error starts when there are 10 or more objects on the map before they are added).
One possible workaround i have found is to do it all on the quick-edit tab by one by one creating the joins and mappings (+source or lookup joins and filter mapping). It seems to work with my configuration, but drag&drop functionality on the mapping tab would sometimes be faster, more convenient and just more human like.

During synchronization, how to make the iPhone data will not be replaced by data from iTunes, but otherwise?

Well, I recently iTunes has Buge and when I reopened everything was gone. I did not backup later, so my library is composed only of my purchases on the iTunes Store. I want to sync my iPhone with iTunes, but if I make this sync, iTunes will erase all data on the iPhone and replace with data from the iTunes library. But I want the opposite, that is to say replace iTunes data with data from the iPhone. How do I do this?
Thank you in advance!
PS: I know that many will tell me that iTunes syncing only occurs from iTunes to iPhone, not vice versa, or need to use an extraction program .. But is it any other solution?

How to make the Fix Date & Qty automatic

Dear Friends,
In the Sales order schedule line there is an indicator Fixed Date & Qty.
How can I make this indicator to be automatic when I create the Sales Order.
Please help
Ravi

Hi Ravi,
Goto SHD0 T.Code and create a transaction variant.
Assign the same to your sales order type.
When you try to create a sales order then this will be ticked by default.
The same you can do in OVZJ T.Code also.Here against your sales area,you have to tick it.

Then, i have placed elements of RFCNAME_Input->Output->Lt_org_unit node to an arraylist.
After this i am not able to proceed.
I would be very greatful to you if you can spare some time & help me.
