JDeveloper capabilities for Reverse Engineering existing instances and data

We are experiencing difficulty obtaining the indexes, synonyms, and triggers via reverse-engineering capture of existing 10g DB's. Does JDeveloper have the capabilities for Reverse Engineering all objects from existing DB's ?
Will 10g JDeveloper handle reverse-engineering large 300 table schemas rich with large quantity of indexes, synonyms, & triggers?
And last, how can a listing of the Data Dictionary be extracted /exported in CSV or excel format for review distribution? Via JDeveloper? We have a large distributed development, test, quality, and integration team which prefers to review various elements of schema updates and changes in excel.
Thanx.

Vicki-
Thanks for the additional info. I was thinking you were most concerned with reverse-engineering existing schemas. I did not realize you were designing new schemas.
When you mention ERDs, are you interested in logical ERDs (as compared to physical tables and foreign keys)? If you are interested in doing pure logical ERD modelling, then Designer is the way to go. It has been years since I worked with Designer, but it has ooodles of capabilities to forward and reverse engineer between databases, physical models, and logical models of schemas. It sounds like you might be using Designer today and are hitting some snags. Is this the case? If so, I suggest you see if Oracle Support or the Designer forum can help you get past the specific Designer issues. The forum for Oracle Designer is here: Designer
Sue mention that JDeveloper does support database modelling. Here is a how-to for JDeveloper 11g that shows how it works:
http://www.oracle.com/technology/obe/obe11jdev/11/db_dev/obe_%20databasedevmt.htm
The how-to is pretty complete showing you forward and reverse engineering capabilities.
A few more minor notes:
1.The JDeveloper schema modelling features work on a physical (not logical) level. In other words, they work on tables not entities.
2.The SQL Developer report features certainly work on "DATA". But, the "DATA" they work on can certainly be the data dictionary data. In other words, I can write a report in SQL Developer that queries all of the column names, column data types for a subset of tables. Then I can export that "DATA" into excel and use it for whatever your downstream needs are. The potential capabilities are practically unlimited.
Cheers,

  • Tools for reverse engineering an ERD from the database

    We were thinking about using Visio as a tool for Reverse Engineering ERD's from our database. Unfortunately, we can't find any good training that goes over this part of the tool in detail.
    So, then I started thinking, maybe it's not the best tool, then. Any suggestions on whether this is the tool, or if there's a better alternative?
    Thanks

  • Reverse Engineering Synonym from Oracle data base

    Hi All
    I am using ODI 10.1
    i want to reverse engineer synonames from my oracle database .
    When i am reverse engineering the tables and views the datastore is showing the Columns in Columns tab.
    But for Synonyms the the Column names are not available.However it is showing the data in viewdata.
    Please help me

    Hi,
    * In Topology Manager, open your Oracle Data Server and go to "Properties" tab.
    * Add a new property with key "includeSynonyms" and value "true".
    ODI only reverse engineer Private Synonyms .
    Thanks,

  • Prepare templates of the existing reports and data objects.

    Hi,
    I'm trying to create templates of the reports and dataobjects created in oracle BAM. I've created some reports on a server and i need the same reports with same dataobjects on other servers. Is there any method to create the template of existing reports and data objects.
    Thanks,
    Rajdeep

    Hi
    You will have to export the Data Objects and Repots and import in the other environments using icommand.
    TO preserve the report id's you can use option preserveid
    and also supposeyou have 1 report which internally calls three other reports you can export the main report using dependencies option with icommand export use dependencies 1 and this will export all ur sub reports with main report..
    If u need more help on icommand check this doc

  • CASE tools for reverse engineering

    Hi there, I need a CASE tool for do reverse engineering to java code. Can somebody recommend me someone?
    Regards.

    Do you mean a decompiler? There's jode, which I think is at sourceforge.
    Do reverse engineering tools really come under the CASE rubric?

  • HT1386 I have a new computer and need to sync my iPod touch.  I get a message that says "All existing apps and data will be replaced."  Does this mean progress in the games will be lost?

    I have a new computer and need to sync my iPod touch.  I get a message telling me that all existing apps and their data will be replaced with apps from this iTunes library.  Does that mean I lose all game progress?

    Yes.
    What you need to do is Transfer the iTunes Library from your Old computer to your New computer...
    Copy your ENTIRE iTunes FOLDER to an External Drive... and then from the External Drive to your New Computer..
    Backup iTunes to an External Drive

    An Added Bonus is that you will have a Backup of iTunes.

  • Subform instances and data missing in email submitted pdf

    I have created a form in which a user can add instances of a subform, enter data, and submit it to an email address as a pdf. When I receive the form the instances are missing. What steps do I need to follow to ensure that all of the data that is entered is sent? Thank you.
    Stephen

    I made sure "Preserve Scripting changes" was set to automatic. And still when I save the form, the instances are not saved.
    Basically I have a main page with several checkboxes that open instances of different types of order forms. It works great in PDF View, but when I save the form with data filled in, only the First page and data are saved and the instances of the other forms do not show up.

    Hi,
     I would like to know what would be the best approach to migrate configuration and data from one PS 2013 instance to another.
      in PS 2010 we used to backup and restore DBs to have things in place. In PS2013 things are integrated with SP2013 bit tighter, please advise.

  • [CCM 5.0/perfmon] Adding a counter for a none-existing instance

    Hello,
    I'm having the following issue with perfmon when adding a counter to a session (with perfmonAddCounter) :
    I'm trying to add this counter "\\ccm1\Thread(test)\% Processor Time" BUT the instance "test" does not exist on the server. I would expect to receive an error (like under CCM 4.2) but it's not the same behavior.
    And even worse : When I use perfmonCollectSessionData to collect the data, I'm getting an entry for this "gost" counter and its value is 0 and maked as good.
    The only way to workaround this is list all instances before adding the counter to check if the instance exists or not.
    Have you seen the same behavior ? Is it a bug ?
    Thanks

  • Macbook Air capabilities for Aerospace Engineering Student

    Well, I'm a soon-to-be highschool senior, and I'm looking to buy a Macbook for college. I plan on majoring in Aerospace enginering. I know the 15" rMBP with the dedicated graphics card would be optimal, but that is out of my budget. However, I have two options picked out, and I'm curious of your opinion on what I should buy.
    I'm thinking a 13" Air with the i7, 8GB of Ram, and 256 GB of flash storage.
    Originally, i was thinking of a refurbished 13" Retina Pro with an i5, 8GB ram and 256 SD.
    This is not the case anymore, as the Air now has the PCIe based Flash storage, Haswell Processor, Intel Graphics 5000, 108.11ac Wi-fi, and astounding battery life. Another reason for me leaning toward the MBA is because of the ghosting screen problems on the rMBP. If you haven't seen that problem yet, just simply google (or bing) it.
    In most of the places I've researched, the Air with this processor is boasting Geekbench scores of the rMBP, and it is keeping up with speed tests against the rMBP 13".
    So, my question for you guys is, do you think this Air would be capable of handling an engineering workload and programs? Would the 13" rMBP boast any features (besides Retina) that I would notice over the Air?
    Thanks for your help!

    I second the above opinion, as I am an Electrical Engineering student currently. I've been using an 11" Air for everything (full options, i7, 8gb, 512ssd). I was using a mid 2011 and i just got the new 2013 model and I have to say both have performed outstanding.
    Since you're gonna be an engineer i'll tell you how I run my machine to let you know how powerful it is for school:
    I run 4 desktops that i swipe between constantly with 10+ programs running, most of which are not your normal small programs (Autocad, MotionBuilder, etc.)
    My 5th desktop that i swipe between is Parallels Desktop running windows 7 for the non-mac apps, inside of windows i typically run 3+ programs which include AutoCad, Quartus (electronic modeling) and PSpice.
    Keep in mind that I run all of this at the same time and it's probably too much (I don't need to run everything at once I just love to keep evrything up so between classes I don't have to prepare for the next).
    All I have to say is the machine kills it. i'm serious, no lag, fluid autocad building, low heat, and great battery, i got about 5 hours out of my 2011 model and i expect to see 8+ out of this one when school gets going again.
    You're in the right direction, i think you'll be more than happy with a new Macbook Air if you max out the options, and then you'll increase the resale so in 2-3 years you can grab the latest and greatest as i did.
    Good luck in engineering and don't let it get to you, stick it out and it'll be worthwhile!

  • Bundling options for customers with existing art and directv accounts?

    I have home phone Internet and wireless service with AT&T. I also am a direct TV customer. If you of the recent merger are there any bundling options available to persons in this situation

    There have been bundles available for several years from both Directv and ATT. ATT currently offers Directv to customers who don't have access to U-verse TV with ATT internet and home phone. Directv offers ATT internet and home phone with their service. You should call your Directv customer service regarding current info as the merger/buyout will take several months to complete.

  • Two iPhone questions (existing customer and data plan)

    Hello, I have two questions about the iPhone. I am on a family plan with At&t. I don't pay my bill. I want to keep it that way. Will I just be able to take my sim card out of my phone and put it in the iPhone since it's AT&T? Or do I use a new sim card and when activating it choose existing customer?
    My second question is I am wondering if it is possible to use an iPhone without the data plan. I know I will be missing visual voicemail and edge but I don't care. Also, will this make me get a thousand dollar bill if I accidentally press safari and don't have a data plan? Thanks.

    You can't use the SIM from your existing phone. You would use the new SIM and activate as an existing customer.
    My second question is I am wondering if it is possible to use an iPhone without the data plan. I know I will be missing visual voicemail and edge but I don't care. Also, will this make me get a thousand dollar bill if I accidentally press safari and don't have a data plan? Thanks.
    You have to get the data plan and for $20 it's worth it, not only is it unlimited data but includes 200 text messages. Without the data plan, you'll pay for every voicemail you access, every text message, any time you check weather/email/youtube/etc. In a nutshell, the data plan covers a lot more than just using Safari to browse the web.

  • How do I simply move my existing OSX and data from a faulty hard drive I am replacing with a new one?

    Recently I took my computer in to get repaid for a monitor display issue. While it was repaired the shop told me my hard drive was having issues. It turns out they could fix it for me but they were going to charge me $300+. I replace drives all the time at work but never for Macs. How can I go about moving all of my data from the current hard disk to the new hard disk (OS and all)? Can I simply back up the data to an external drive using time machine? I am thinking I would need to just start from scratch and install Mac OS 10.5, upgrade to 10.6, and so on.

    tjk has given you the more correct answer. Use TimeMachine, CarbonCopyCloner, or SuperDuper! to make a complete backup of your computer's hard drive. This will make restoring to a new hard drive as painless as possible. Backing up only your home directly would force you to reinstall every program - sometime I prefer to avoid when possible. (All those serial numbers!)
    If while attempting to backup the drive you get error messages which indicate the backup will be unusable, then retreat to backup up only the home directory.

  • Console for Time Capsule, check acces and data-transfers

    Is there a way to check who has acces to my Time Capsule and what files they are copying?
    There is a program named "Console" on Mac, but is there a way to have a same type of program for Time Capsule?

    None.. Apple have actively been removing any access to even a log function or to know who is connected to the TC. And you certainly cannot see what files are being copied.
    To make suggestions I have to know where are these people copying the files from. Are they copying files from the TC that you have stored there.. or are they copying files from internet and you want to know what they are??
