Import model from Designer looses domains

Hello,
I have tried to import a model from Oracle Designer into Oracle SQL Developer Data Modeler, and found that the domains where not imported. As a consequence all attributes defined by domains (most of ours) are defined by the domain "Unknown" after the import.
How can I import the domains from Oracle Designer?
Thank you,
Carsten

Hi Philip,
I'm using OSDM build 570 with Designer version 10.1.2.0.2. The repository is not versioned. All the domains belong to the imported application system.
This is the import log:

Import model from OWB repository

We have an OWB repository with several 100 tables, mappings, etc. what we try to import but SQL Modeler seems to import nothing although it gives no errors.
We've found that before importing all the OWB environment variables must be set.
Which we did.
Then it seems to connect to the repository, do some processing and returns but without any changes in the model.
Did anyone import model from OWB successfully?
We are using version 10.2 OWB and database.

OK ive imported from Designer into OSDM just fine.
Good. Glad this works.
However things I dont like so far ...;)
The properties palete can you make it like owb in that when i open it and change context in the browser it updates? I dont want to have to keep going show properties.
In future releases User Interface will be adresses to be more intuitive and to be more SQL developer alike
Pushing the OK button does not appear to do anything the properties window stays open so how is it different to apply?
Sorry, but we don't understand. Pushing OK should work and should close the property window.
Things I dont like... the number of clicks to see information ( no hotkeys or shortcuts )
Agree. In future releases User Interface will be adresses to be more intuitive and to be more SQL developer alike
Next Early Adopter will have new dialog for entities and tables
No drag n drop columns from 1 table to another. No right click on browser nodes to create keys etc No CTL drop no SHIFT drop
You can drag columns
an enhancement request will be created
Why cant I reorder columns by moving them in the browser? Then I could move them visually. This also applies to property paletes if I have to go to the effort of highlighting a current row then why cant I just grab it and move it?
You can reorder columns/attributes by the "up" and "down" arrows after you highlighted the column or attribute in their respective property window.
an enhancement request will be created for doing this from the browser and the grabbing
Appears to be no ability to set common properties over a number of attributes. If I select a number of columns I cant pull up a property pallete to set a common attribute on them.
an enhancement request will be created
I could not get the enginer to logical model to enable
Should work. when you have the relational model, use the engineering to logical model icon (2 red arrows) or the design menu option and do engineer to logical model
Otherwise looks promising
Thank you!!
Kind regards,

Import repository from Designer concerning non-versioned applications (EA2)

Hello
I've downloaded last version of Data Modeler -> v3.0 EA2 because correcting bug about import from designer for non-versioned applications.
I tried to import from my Designer connection but I can see only versionned applications ! I would like to see all the applications (like in Data Modeler v2). Version 3 EA2 is supposed to correct the problem ?!
The exact version is V3.0.0.653 ! Is that right ????
Thanks to all!

Hello,
On our designer we have ; one workarea and 22 Applications system and several sub-application system. Only a couple on these applications systems are versionned.
I would like to import the 20 applications and sub-applications in Data Modeler but even if I have the Data modeler EA2 I cannot see them ! I was talking about the Data modeler version lattest version (EA2). Is it the V3.0.0.653 ?
thanks regards,
Rocco

OWB wont import new FKs from Designer

After importing a model from Designer and validating I found a couple of tables with FK constraints that had been defined with no columns. No problem there, went back into Designer and fixed them up.
Now though, for those tables, OWB will not acknowledge the existance of any foreign keys for them. Not even newly created ones!
I have tried many things including deleting the tables from OWB and reimporting new but they still show no foreign keys despite the fact that they are clearly defiined in Designer.
Any ideas?

OK, I figured out what's going on. Things are worse than I first thought.
I appears that whilst the tables are coming from a physical model, the relationships come from the logical model (perhaps via the "relationship" attribute of the foreign key constraints). That suggests that if you have created a physical model from scratch, or have changed the model generated from the logical model (as I have) then importing from Designer into OWB is not a suitable approach.
Looks like I will have to generate DDL from Designer, run it into the database and then reverse engineer from there into OWB.

Importing model

I was able to successfully import model from the existing schema. But it only generated physical schema and not logical model. I want to use this tool for future enhancement for which i need to use logical model, how do i get logical model from export?

Got to the menu Design -> Engineer to logical model. Then you get a dialog to select which tables and realtionships (FKs) to retrofit. This will produce entities and relationships along with unique identifiers, etc. The only thing you really have to do is adding the relationship names.

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,

4.0 EA3 import from designer and database leads to differences in compare models

Hello,
I followed two ways to import a model in Data Modeler:
1 - an import from Oracle Designer
2 - an import from the database generated on basis from Oracle Designer
Then I compare the two models in Data Modeler, and found differences ...
One of the differences is in Table check constraints. The text is the same when viewing it in the compare model.
So I opened the corresponding XML files for the tables and compared the XML for the constraint text. And there are differences:
example:
<rule>(file_locatie is not null and file_naam_org is not null) or<br/>(file_locatie is null and file_naam_org is null)</rule>
<rule>(file_locatie is not null and file_naam_org is not null) or<br>(file_locatie is null and file_naam_org is null)</rule> <<-- designer
the design imported from designer contains br, the databse imported version contains br/
This should not be considered during comparision, or better: boths imports should use the same way of formatting.
Joop

The Rule specification is not re-formatted in Data Modeler code; it is stored as extracted from the database.
For Oracle Database, the Rule is extracted using SQL of the form SELECT search_condition FROM dba_constraints/all_constraints WHERE constraint_type = 'C';
For Oracle Designer, the Rule is extracted using SQL like SELECT txt_text FROM rm_text_lines WHERE txt_type = 'CDWHCL';
Are you able to tell how your Table Check Constraint is represented (with respect to the 'br') in your Database and Designer?
Regards,
Tony

Import from Designer crashes with IMAGE data type

Hello,
I'd like to report an issue with Data Modeler while importing from Oracle Designer. If you consider this a bug, please let me know if I need to do anything else to request a fix for it.
I've used the import > Oracle Designer Model tool to import an application model. The import runs fine for a while, then crashes with a message "There are errors in import - check log file".
The application to be imported has 509 domains, 963 entities to import.
The summary info displayed after the import (when I close the error message pop up) is:
All statements: 1472

I see the issue with the IMAGE data type in the log. The model to be imported does have domains and entities using this data type. The domain actually did get imported, but it shows as "Unknown" logical type, even though there is an Image type available in the Data Modeler type list. None of the entities using IMAGE got imported.
Please let me know if you can provide a fix or workaround for this (other than changing the format in Designer).
Thank you,
Beatriz.

Hello Beatriz,
definitely this is a bug. The problem with entities is not IMAGE data type it's supported there (it's overlooked for domains). The problem is volume information - Initial, Maximum, Average, Growth rate. No workaround for that.
Domain can be changed manually if it's just one affected.

Importing a Power Designer 12 Model into a DI Datastore

<p>I was wondering if anyone has had any luck with trying to import a PowerDesigner 12 model into Data Integrator through the Metadata Exchange. According to the documentation, I should be able to do this using the third party tool MIMB. The BO DI Documentation says if MIMB is installed it will show up all the choses with DI. I installed the trial version of MIMB, but I have not been able to get a PowerDesigner model imported into DI. Just wondering if anyone has had some luck with this.</p>

Thanks Phillip:
You're exactly right.
When we cloned the app in Designer to a different folder, the domains didn't come across properly for some reason. I looked at the domains in the old folder vs the new cloned folder and the Usages in showed that many of the objects in the new folder were missing linkages to the domains. Any object missing a domain linikage in the new Designer folder was coming across to Data Modeler with domain_# as the column data type. For those columns with proper domain links in Designer, it produced two domain entries in Data Modeler after the import: one with the correct domain name and one with the domain_#.
I imported the domains from the older folder first and then imported the other objects from the new folder and the domain_# entries in Data Modeler were cut down to four, which was caused by domain linkages not present in the older folder but present in the new one.
Thanks for your help. I understand what's going on now.

How can i import tables from a different schema into the existing relational model... to add these tables in the existing model? plss help

how can i import tables from a different schema into the existing relational model... to add these tables in the existing relational/logical model? plss help
note; I already have the relational/logical model ready from one schema... and I need to add few more tables to this relational/logical model
can I import the same way as I did previously??
but even if I do the same how can I add it in the model?? as the logical model has already been engineered..
please help ...
thanks

Hi,
Before you start, you should probably take a backup copy of your design (the .dmd file and associated folder), in case the update does not work out as you had hoped.
You need to use Import > Data Dictionary again, to start the Data Dictionary Import Wizard.
In step 1 use a suitable database connection that can access the relevant table definitions.
In step 2 select the schema (or schemas) to import. The "Import to" field in the lower left part of the main panel allows you to select which existing Relational Model to import into (or to specify that a new Relational Model is to be created).
In step 3 select the tables to import. (Note that if there are an Foreign Key constraints between the new tables and any tables you had previously imported, you should also include the previous tables, otherwise the Foreign Key constraints will not be imported.)
After the import itself has completed, the "Compare Models" dialog is displayed. This shows the differences between the model being imported and the previous state of the model, and allows you to select which changes are to be applied.
Just selecting the Merge button should apply all the additions and changes in the new import.
Having updated your Relational Model, you can then update your Logical Model. To do this you repeat the "Engineer to Logical Model". This displays the "Engineer to Logical Model" dialog, which shows the changes which will be applied to the Logical Model, and allows you to select which changes are to be applied.
Just selecting the Engineer button should apply all the additions and changes.
I hope this helps you achieve what you want.

Import Network Model from Shapefile

Hello,
How to import shapefile of roads network (network data model) into oracle spatial? (Oracle+Spatial 10.2g)
http://www.oracle.com/technology/software/products/spatial/files/shape2sdojava.zip deals only with normal (non-network) spatial data..
Huge thanks!

Ok, putting together your help, I managed to get myself a network model, hurray! But after this script in the end (could you peep through it and tell if anything's missing), VALIDATE_NETWORK gives me this:
SDO_NET.VALIDATE_NETWORK('SHP_TABLE_NET')
No Link Geom Metadata!
How (where) would I insert that Link Geom Metadata? All I found is USER_SDO_GEOM_METADATA, but there is nowhere to insert Link data. Googled, too.
The script, together with instructions, in case you make a nice use of it ;):
* Import a Shapefile into Oracle Spatial as a normal vector map;
* (ISSIT POSSIBLE TO AVOID THIS STEP? PL/SQL .sql file script? But that with DDL restrictions, clumsy variable definitions in DERLARE section etc. drove me nuts and I gave up, just asking users to do simple Find/Replace..):
Replace all occurrences of SHP_TABLE (case sensitive, can be part of a word) in the script below with the table name of the imported map from Shapefile (copy all script from below to a text editor and perform that replace);
* Copy/Paste (in Linux: select text and then use middle mouse button or Shift+Insert to paste it in a console) the script line-by-line, follow any severe errors (ignore ones, when it writes that table cannot be dropped when it does not actually exist :) and the like).
