JDeveloper and Serena Dimensions

I have just upgraded to JDeveloper 10.1.3.2.0 with Serena Dimensions extension 10.1.3.40.66. We use Serena Dimensions 9.1. I can connect with the Dimensions server with no problem and can set the workset version but can never get the check in/check and similar versioning menu items to be non-grayed. How do I get to where I can move code to/from Dimensions?

Hi,
If you go to the Help button on JDev and run check for updates, you should be able to select Dimensions from the list of Extensions retrieved. If you then select Versioning from the Main Menu, then "Select Versioning System" Dimensions should be added.
Select this and then create your connection and workspace.
For Versioning->Check Out to be activated from the main menu or context menu. You need to have an existing project pointing at sources you pulled from dimensions using the serena client. Also, jdev needs to be connected to the dimensions server and the file needs to be in the checked in state before it can be checked out.
Let me know if you're still stuck.
Regards
Paula

Jdeveloper 10.1.3 and serena dimensions 10.1

Dear All,
as jdeveloper 10.1.3 seems support serena dimensions 9.1 (which is obsolete), is it possible do to some config
to make jdev work with the new version dimensions 10.1??
when i try to invoke the serena dimensions version support in jdevoloper, it always report
"Dimensions versioning operations not available, could not find dmcli in the system path."
(even though i have install the necessary serena client program dmcli.exe)
is it possible do some config to try to let jdev recognize the path to the dmcli.exe??
(as i think serena dimensions 9.1's command for checkin/checkout is compatible with serena dimensions 10.1...)
thank you.

Marcos,
both IDE's run off a directory (unzipped into different directories), so there is no conflict to expect. Just use the full versions that come with their own VM

Serena Dimensions Plugin in JDeveloper (Version Control)

Hi,
I have several questions regarding Dimensions plugin in JDeveloper and was wondering if someone could help us with. I had contacted Dimesions support and was told to contact Oracle as the Dimensions plugin was developed by Oracle. These questions are as follows.
1.     Disabling Auto Checkout
The issue is that when we download a project/workspace in JDeveloper using the Dimensions plugin and start modifying the file, the plugin automatically checks-out the file and puts a lock on the file in the repository. For project and workspace files (.jpr and .jws) it becomes an issue because no one else in the team can work on the project simultaneously.
a.     Is there a way to disable auto check out through the plugin gui? I could not find anything.
b.     I played around with preferences.xml file’s autoCheckouts property by manually setting it to false. Using this does indeed ask one to check out a file. Can you please confirm whether this is the flag we should be modifying manually?
C:\Users\myName\AppData\Roaming\JDeveloper\system11.1.1.1.33.54.07\o.jdeveloper.dimensions\preferences.xml
<Item>
<Key>autoCheckouts</Key>
<Value class="java.lang.Boolean">false</Value>
</Item>
c. Assuming this is the property we should be modifying, and we have set it to false, is there a way to not checkout a file and still work on it? I think making the file writable on the local disk should work. Can you confirm?
2.     Auto writable files: Is there any way to automatically make files writeable when downloading through the JDeveloper plugin?
3.     Documentation and Icons
a.     Is there any documentation/guide regarding JDev/Dimensions plugin? The only one we can get our hands on is “Help” that is included as part of JDeveloper and it is not very helpful.
b.     There are a couple of application navigator icon types that are not explained even in help. I cannot upload them here, but it looks like they mean something like the following
i.     icon that looks like a lock, or a person: Looks like it means that one is not connected or Logged in
ii.     icon with X and no background + {null}: Looks like it means that either the file is not in version control or has been deleted from version control which are two different things.
Further details:
We are using JDeveloper 11.1.1.1.0 (Build JDEVADF_11.1.1.1.0_GENERIC_090615.0017.5407) with Dimensions Versioning Plugin (11.1.1.1.33.54.07).

Hi,
1. Disabling auto checkout
go to menu Tools -> Preferences -> Versioning -> Dimensions -> General
this is the GUI approach to manipulating the preferences xml file that you have found. You should never need to amend this file manually
1.c/2 We have an ER to provide a way to work on a file locally/writeable. It is not possible in this version. You could use the file system to set the file to writeable, but it is not supported
3.a the Help files are the only documentation that we provide. It is not expected to be a full tutorial on Dimensions, but to support using the JDEV UI to interact with Diremnsions.
What do you feel is missing from help?
I have noticed that the Tools - Preferences for Dimensions are not documented in help and I will get a bug raised for that.
b. the lock icon does, indeed, mean logged out. If you hover the mouse over the file in question the tool tip gives the meaning of the icon.
ii. I don't recognise this second icon. Can you reproduce it and hover over the file - let me know what it is, I will get the icons updated in Help

Serena Dimensions plugin can not find resource when syncronizing new item

We use
Serena Dimensions 2009R03
Oracle JDeveloper 11.1.1.3.0

We have managed to link an application to a Dimensions project, and syncronizing files that exisit in the repository works fine, but when adding new files to the repository, JDev crashes with an exeption:

It makes no difference if subversion i active at the same time or not.
Syncronizing with the Dimensions client or from a file explorer works fine.
I have tried to reinstall both jdev, Dimensions client and the extension with the same result.
This makes the extension pretty useless.

How to populate member values to Year and Period Dimensions

Hi,
I have set up the following members in account dimension:
Lease From (Date Type)
Lease To (Date Type)
Lease Amount (Currency Type)
If I input Jan-2012 in Lease From, Nov-2013 in Lease To and 1,000 in Lease Amount, all in BegBalance->Fy12, how can I populate the 1,000 to the correponding Period and Year dimensions using business rule. I need 1,000 in Lease Amount->Fy12->Jan all way through to Lease Amount->Fy13->Nov. I do not want to create a input form with all the years and periods for monthly input as I may have over 100 lease information with different from and to dates.
Or is there any alternate method I can get the expected results.
Thanks.

Hi
This is a really complex problem! It may help you to look at the documentation around the CapEx planning module as this is Oracle's take on calculating asset depreciation etc on a similar basis (create asset in BegBalance -> NoYear and calculate which periods to poulate depreciation data in using dates, variables and rules). The business rules are presented in full in the doc below but I warn you the code is complex and not easy to understand, although you may get the principles
http://docs.oracle.com/cd/E17236_01/epm.1112/cpx_admin_11122.pdf
You ought to be able to do something using dates and period / year indicies (remember dates are stored in Essbase in something like the format YYYYMMDD, e.g. 20121107 so should be easy to compare whether the date for the period is within range of the dates entered).
I have also tried to do something similar using smartlists in a prototype before but this proved a bit more complicated and not necessarily any more reliable than using dates
Hope this helps

Date and Time dimensions

After reading the following article, I have decided to use SSAS dimension wizard for generating our Date dimension, which creates a DATETIME PK.
http://www.made2mentor.com/2011/05/date-vs-integer-datatypes-as-primary-key-for-date-dimensions/
I have also created a separate Time dimension as granularity of an hour is required.
The Time dimension is very simple and only contains a surrogate key (INTEGER) and actual time in hours (VARCHAR).
DimTime(TimeKey, TimeInHours)
Our Fact table will now have a link to both the Date and Time dimension using the PK's.
Our analysis is required by hour, day, week, month and year.
My query is; Will this current structure cause any problems when creating MDX scripts to analyse our data (i.e. drilldown and rollup queries) Hour - Day - Week - Month - Year

Hi Darren,
According to your description, there a day and hour granularity in your fact table, so you want to a hierarchy like Hour - Day - Week - Month - Year, right?
In your scenario, you created a time table that only contains a surrogate key (INTEGER) and actual time in hours (VARCHAR). We cannot create a Hour - Day - Week - Month - Year hierarchy without ant relationship between date table and time table. As per my understanding,
you need create a foreigner key in time table, and join those table in the data source view, then you can create such a hierarchy. Here are some links about create time dimension, please see:

Resolving loops in a star schema with 5 fact tables and 6 dimension tables

Hello
I have a star schema, ie 5 FACT tables and 7 dimension tables, All fact tables share the same dimension tables, some FACT tables share 3 dimesnsions, while other share 5 dimensions.
I did adopt the best practices, and as recommended in the book, I tried to resolve them using Context, as it is the recommended option to Alias in a star schema setting. The contexts are resolved, but I still have loops. I also cleared the Multiple SQL Statement for each context option, but no luck. I need to get this resoved ASAP

Hi Patil,
It is not clear what exactly is the problem. As a starting point you could set the context up so that it only covers the joins from fact to dimension.
Fact A, joins Dim 1, Dim 2, Dim 3, and Dim 4
Fact B, joins Dim 1, Dim 2, Dim 3, Dim 4 and Dim 5
Fact C, joins Dim 1, Dim 2, Dim 3, Dim 4 and Dim 6
Fact D, joins Dim 1, Dim 2, Dim 3, Dim 4 and Dim 7
Fact E, joins Dim 1, Dim 2, Dim 4 and Dim 6
If each of these are contexts are done and just cover the joins from fact to dim then you should be not get loops.
If you could lay out your joins like above then it may be possible to specify the contexts/aliases that should work.

Currency and Groups Dimensions in Legal Consolidation, BPC 7.5

Dear BPC Experts:
          I am using BPC 7.5 NW SP03, and building Legal Consolidation now. According to the SAP Library,http://help.sap.com/saphelp_bpc75_nw/helpdata/en/bpc_nw_index.htm, it says in 7.5, the currency and groups dimension are required and should hold currency members and consolidation members seperately. I have couple of questions about this design.
1. Are GROUPS and CURRENCY dimensions both included in Legal Consolidation Application at the same time?
2. How to move data in currency diemnsion into corresponding members in GROUPS dimension?
    For example: THe GROUPS member, CG1(its currency is USD). How to let data in currency USD move to CG1.
3. In Legal Consolidation data package, should I modify the prompt dimension from CURRENCY_DIM into GROUP_Dim?? cause 7.5 has CURRENCY dim in its package setting at default. However, the consolidation package is based on GROUP perspectives.
    Does anyone give me any idea in it? I really appreciate your help.
Best Regards,
Fred Cheng

Hi Collet,
Thanks for such a quick response. Based on your answer,
The group-type dimension is used for storing the group component of legal consolidation. The group-type dimension represents the relationship of entities for a given consolidation result. This group is consolidated in a single currency, so there is no need to have another dimension. As of Planning and Consolidation 7.5, you can continue to use the currency-type dimension for this purpose, or you can split it into a group-type dimension (type G) and use a pure currency-type dimension (type R) to allow reporting in multiple group currencies.
If at all I go by that will that be sufficient to have only Group Dimension and ignore RptCurrency field in BPC 7.5?
As of now I am having my Group Dimension looks like this.
Member ID          EVDESCRIPTION        GROUP_CURRENCY        PARENT_GROUP      ENTITY
G_CG1                XXXX                          USD                                                                 E_CG1
G_CG2                XXX                            USD                                   G_CG1                   E_CG2
G_CG3                XXXX                          USD                                   G_CG2                   E_CG3
So now do I need to enter any RptCurrency Members under Group Member ID column to have RptCurrency ignored once for all. By the way our RptCurrency and Group Currency is USD only.
Please advise as right now we are not able to have Currency Conversion Functioning properly. I mean when I executed FXTRANSLGF, I am able to my DM status as Successful but saying 0 Submitted   0 Success   0 Fail
I am unable to crack this. I tired playing Groups and RptCurrency but same result. Successful but no records. We have maintained all Exchange Rates corrctly.

Multiple 'logical joins' between a fact table and one dimension table

It appears that one cannot create multiple ‘logical joins’ between a fact table and one dimension table in OBIEE using the Oracle BI Administration Tool. For example, considering a Business Model with a dimension table TIMES and a fact table FACT containing START_TIME and END_TIME, we would like to create separate logical joins from FACT to TIMES for the START_TIMEs and END_TIMEs? Obviously, the underlying foreign keys can be created, but as far as I can tell the Oracle BI Administration Tool doesn’t support this. The workaround would be to replicate the TIMES table, but that’s ugly.
I seek an alternative approach.

Try this. Create an two aliases for the TIMES dimension (Start & End) in the Physical Layer and then remove foreign key to the "Parent" Times dimension. Create the Foreign Key in the Physical Layer to the new aliases and then create the complex joins in the BMM Layer to the new aliases as well. This will allow you to present both dates within the same table in the Presentation Layer. Not the most elegant solution but it works.

Cannot test portlet using JDeveloper and built-in OC4J

Hi everybody,
I'm not trying to sound stupid but my problem seems to be very basic but i cannot solve it. I'm new to Jdeveloper. Here's my problem.
I'm using Jdeveloper 10.1.2.1.0 (build 1913) to develope a portlet. I deployed it to the built-in Standalone OC4J of Jdeveloper and got the following messages:

Hi Deepak,
I had time dimension in the RPD.
I have stacked bar chart with same time dim like year & month in the report. when I go to legand and set navigation it is working fine. But not with pie chart.
I am not not sure what is the problem. When I click on Pie chart it is not navigating to the target report. Can it be any other issues..???

HELP: include another page in with JDeveloper and ADF

Hi all,
I am trying to make a layout page with JDeveloper and ADF. But I just can't make things work. I have the pre-coded header and footer html pages and want to include them in a jspx somehow. I tried panelPage too, but the rendering style is away from our pre-coded header and footer.
1. Use jsp:include.
header works fine but footer is rendered before the page content, even if the footer is placed after the page content. Is there a way to customize the position?
<f:facet name="footerFacet">
<f:subview id="footerView"
binding="#{backing_welcomePage.footerView}">
<jsp:include page="/footer.jspf"/>
</f:subview>
</f:facet>
2. Use frameBorderLayout.
I followed the doc and use the document tag. But the frame page is rendered but none of included pages are rendered. So I got a blank page.

<f:view>
<afh:html>
<afh:head title="my frame page">
<meta http-equiv="Content-Type"
content="text/html; charset=windows-1252"/>
</afh:head>
<afh:body>
<afh:frameBorderLayout height="100%" width="100%">
<f:facet name="center">
<afh:frame source="topPage.jspx" name="topPage3"/>
</f:facet>
<f:facet name="top">
<afh:frame source="topPage.jspx" height="200" name="topPage2"/>
</f:facet>
<f:facet name="bottom">
<afh:frame source="topPage.jspx" height="200" name="topPage1"/>

</f:facet>
<af:outputFormatted styleUsage="instruction" value="<b>A frameBorderLayout</b>"/>
</af:panelGroup>
</af:form>
</af:document>
</f:view>

for #1 have you tried throwing a verbatim tag around your includes like:
<f:verbatim>
<jsp:directive.include file="/includes/footer.jsp"/>
</f:verbatim>
it's how we got around intermixing html and jsf

10g BPEL process upgrade to 11g hangs in Jdeveloper and Ant script

I have successfully upgraded several 10g (10.1.3.4) BPEL processes and ESB services using Jdeveloper 11g (11.1.1.6.0) migration wizard and deployed them to an 11g environment. Both 10g and 11g environments are up and running.
However, my 11g jdeveloper hangs when migrating the next BPEL process. It hangs at the message box with the title: "Migration Status". I tried the Ant script and it hangs too. It hangs after printing out:
"CompositeRefs
[upgrade] WARNING: UPGBPEL-02009: No Binding setup for : "soapCheckPrivileges"
. This will cause compilation of the upgraded project to fail. Check SOA Upgrade
documentation on manual steps necessary to bind this composite reference. If ne
cessary, upgrade and deploy any dependencies. If planning to retain 1013x nodes
in this projects dependency tree, check earlier part of this log for 1013x WSDL
URLs that can be used."
I guess it makes sense since Jdeveloper and Ant script use the same code base for migration.
One other observation is that if I kill the hanging jdeveloper process and reopen it and go through the migration wizard again, it will be successful without hanging. However, when I fix all the wsdl reference and do a build and deploy to sar. The resulting sar is defective and cannot be deployed to Weblogic even if both build and deploy to sar report success. The defective sar contains only scac.log and scac-log.xml, not even composite.xml.
One difference between this BPEL process and others I have successfully upgraded is that it depends on an ESB service (this esb service has been upgraded and deployed to 11g).
Any ideas?
Thanks,

I will answer my question. I killed the migrating Java process and the migrating wizard will report failure of migrating the .jpr file. Actually, the only thing missing in the migrated .jpr file is deployment profile which I can generate from deployment menu. And I can deploy the migrated process. This works as a workaround.

JDeveloper and JSP

I am a new person to JDeveloper technology.
I wanted to know that if I create JSP using JDeveloper 3.0, and then upload the JSP pages on a UNIX server, will I need application server.
What is JServer ?

Anny,
You can developer Java Server Pages using JDeveloper and deploy them to any platform.
If your deployment platform is UNIX, you will need an application server that supports the Servlet API. Apache plus Tomcat is a good option. You can learn more about it at www.apache.org.
JServer is the VM that runs inside the Oracle8i database. You can learn more about it on the Oracle8i page of OTN.

Oracle's XML Publisher in JDeveloper and XSQL Servlet

A While ago, in this thread JDeveloper 10g, XSQL and FOP , was mentioned an ongoing effort for the "integration of Oracle's XML Publisher in JDeveloper and XSQL Servlet", Is this still happening ?, will this be something will be able to use without having to be an Oracle Apps shop? Any additional info would be appreciated.

Hi,
is there any progress about XML publisher integration with JDeveloper. I'm right now examining XML publisher but there is no explicit directions and explanations of using XML publisher with jdeveloper.
any news !?
best regards...
