How to add an index to a materialized view in Data Modeler 3.3

Hello everyone,
I'm looking for a how-to to add an index to a materialized view in Data Modeler 3.3.0.747, as I coudn't find a way to do it so far.
I looked here:
Relational Model
Physical Model
Oracle 11g
Materialized Views
"my_mv_name"
"INDEXES" IS NOT HERE IN THE TREE
"Tables" does not include it either
Thank you & Best regards,
Blama

Hi David,
thanks a lot. I did so and it worked, but I found a minor bug while doing so:
I marked the table as "Implement as Materialized View" and went to File->Export->DDL (for Oracle 11g).
The generated code (I checked all options in "Drop Selection") includes a row:
DROP MATERIALIZED VIEW mv_mymatview CASCADE CONSTRAINTS ;
which produces a syntax error.
Best regards,
Blama

Upload material and contract data from file in CCM 2.0

Hi guys,
This might be a difficult one!
We have the following situation in a Client:
We are upgrading a Requisitite catalog (working with BBP 2.0)
to a CCM 2.0 catalog.
In Requisite, one can upload material- and contract data from a file (it is standard funcionality) into the database.
We need to have the same kind of funcionality in CCM 2.0 because our client does not prefer to work with XI (which is the standard SAP solution in these cases).
How can we accomplish this? maybe with some additional ABAP coding!
Our client is not working with Vendor Catalogs but I´m trying to see if we can use a dummy vendor catalog to accomplish material upload in CCM2 form a CSV file.
Anyone had to face this situation before?
If so, please provide some clues how to do it?
Thanks in advance,
Aart

Relation between server's and runtime Data Model?

I am working on a project utilizing the MVC architecture.
After some doubts, I decided to create one DataModel class for each table of the server's normalized database and create the necessary relations at runtime and not in SQL prior to download.
The database is only a few MB and I need the flexibility.
I would appreciate some links to theoretical material regarding the relation between the runtime and the server's DB data model.
Thanks,
David

Hi Anirudh/Deepa,
As You said first I have created Outbound Connection Pool for DB adapter and given eis/DB/HRDBDataSource as JNDI name. It asked to save the file Plan.xml and i saved it in Oracle_soa1/Soa/Plan.xml
Next I created datasorce with JNDI name jdbc/HRDBDataSource and provided all credentials.
For AQ also i created connectionpool with JNDI name eis/AQ/MyAQ . Here also it asked to save the Plan.xml and Isaved it in Oracle_soa1/Soa/applications/Plan.xml
In Jdev while configuring AQ adapter I have selected the database [for this only i created connection pool and datasource] and given the JNDI Name as eis/AQ/MyAQ . (I tried with and without giving datasorce value jdbc/HRDBDataSource in AQ adapter )
Still I am getting the below error.
*Exception occured when binding was invoked. Exception occured during invocation of JCA binding: "JCA Binding execute of Reference operation 'Enqueue' failed due to: JCA Binding Component connection issue. JCA Binding Component is unable to create an outbound JCA (CCI) connection. Queue:EnQueue [ Enqueue_ptt::Enqueue(EMP_MESSAGE_TYPE) ] : The JCA Binding Component was unable to establish an outbound JCA CCI connection due to the following issue: No suitable driver found for . ". The invoked JCA adapter raised a resource exception. Please examine the above error message carefully to determine a resolution. No suitable driver found for 0*

MDG-Material and IS-Retail

Hi everyone,
My client is looking for a solution to easily create material master data, including Excel upload and they are running on ECC EHP4 with IS-Retail with only one domain. I am aware of the potential solutions LSMW, Winshuttle, and they are part of the evaluation that do not give governance capability, just data upload.
I was wondering if MDG material could be easily tailored for IS-Retail? I learned from SAPPHIRE that MDG is not tailored to Retail (just standard ECC) and it will need to be extended for the retail specific tables.
Has anyone considered MDG-material for IS-Retail?
Thanks,
Jenny

HI Jenny
Not sure if you are still looking for a governance solution for your article master data needs. There is content available now on the MDG platform for Article data governance, you can refer to this blog for more details, if you have further queries you can write to me....

Many pages and complex data model in JHS app

I am using JHS to create an application containing data that is structured something like:
- Country
- Company
- Department
- Employee
- Payments Details
I have created entity and view objects corresponding to each of these and the appropriate accessors/view links. We need the user to be able to search, work on data and 'drill down' from any level (not always starting with company). In order to make this possible my JHS application has 5 'top level' tabs corresponding to each of the above entities. From each of these top level pages users can drill down to the children.
This works but we end up with many pages and a large data model with lots of replication and nesting.
Country - 5 pages
Company - 4 pages
Department - 3 pages
Employee - 2 pages
Payments - 1 page
total 15
You can picture how the data model is structured. Obviously this is a very simple example but I hope it illustrates my concerns. We have so many pages that post-generation changes are going to be difficult to manage. I'm also worried about the size and complexity of the data model. In this case views are almost all entity based so I guess the data is only cached once but supposing they were not?
Are we using JHS in the best way ? perhaps I'm overcompilcating it ?
I have started to rewrite the JHS generated application so that it (almost) always reuses the same top level generated pages (with some modifications). When the user wants to navigate to a child I modify the whereClause of the target ViewOjbect appropriately, reexecute it and forward to the corresponding 'top level' page. This approach seems to work well, cuts down the number of pages enormously and simplifies the data model (and has enabled me to put breadCrumbs in).
In doing this though, am I creating work for myself that JSH could have done if we had used it differently in the fist place?

This sounds like a valid approach in your situation. We have been playing with the idea of having something like 'Group Links' where you can generate navigation items from one group to the other. Then, you would need to have one, 5 level deep nested group, and 4 other top level groups to provide the search&select on each of the nested groups, but they themselves would not need to have nested groups, but a navigation link to the nested groups in the 5-level deep group.
Although nice and simple in theory, the details are a bit tricky to work out with all the possible layout- and samePage settings, so we have not implemented this yet. So your approach seems a valid one. If you have any suggestions on a way to generate what you are now doing manually, we'll be interested.
Kind regards,

What is the best workflow with SVN and Developer Data Modeler.

I am workin on strategy to fullfill next tasks with Data Modeler:
* Posibility to work on paralel branches for model
* Merging changes from different branches
* Generating upgrade scripts for changes (from one commit till other)
* Maintaining posiblity to fast build empty database for any version of model
What are your ideas?
Do you use some database for thease operations or you do it only using Modeler?
Does SVN merge works fine with Modeler?
How you work with versioned Modeler and many versions of different development DBs.

Hello,
We work with SVN and DM too, but do not use branches for DM to prevent merges.
If multiple developers work on the same design, each developer checks out the design. A lock can be used to prevent the update of the same object by multiple developers (if you want).
If you commit changes in SVN, the other developers get informed on these changes by the 'Pending changes'. They can decide whether or not they include those changes.
If you synchronize with the other developer changes, you can create alter or create scripts by importing the target database and generate scripts.
If you want to build a historical version of the model, you check out a version of the design with a specific revision (you can specifiy this during checkout). You build create scripts based for this version.

Export Material and Price Data with IDOC or BAPI?

Hi SAP Experts,
I found two ways to implement a Master Material and Price Export to an external system, first with IDOC MATMAS01 and Idoc COND_A with an enhancement VKOE0001 PRICING CONDITION.
Here I don't know how I can match a material with tht sales price?
And the second one with the BAPI. But how I create a BAPI for Material and Sales Price?
And which is the better way?
Thanks and Bye,
Frederic

Amit,
it seems that the FU BAPI_MATERIAL_SAVEDATA is only for Create and Change Material Master Data. Is that correct?
I've following Use Case, I will send e.g. one Material with the sales price to an external system (later all material with their sales price). And for that case I'm searching for a solution. Can you bring me on the correct way to implement something like that.
I would be very pleased if you can help me.
Bye,
Frederic

How to load data and design data model

Hi,
We have data in excel(size is appx. 60 MB) of 24 month, excel has column like Year, Month, Region, Affiliate KPI and their value.
How can we load excel data into dashboard and design the data model?
Please find the attached file for reference.
Any help will be appreciated.
Thanks,
Ram Krishna

File is corrupted, you can import the excel into dashboard using import button.
Design you need to come up with your navigation first and what you need to display in dashboard. If possible explain that we can help you better on this.

Problem with material and document date in sales order

Hi All,
I am working in ECC 6.0 .I am facing problem with two fields when in enter in to sales order(tcode:va01)
1.A material comes automatically in line item.
2.Document date also comes as 27.03.2008 instead of todays date in each order i create.
I think its not related to configuration.I think its related to some modifications through exits or enhancement points.could someone suggest me a where to check and solve that.
Your's suggestion is appreciated.

Hi Sharad,
Check MV45AFZZ include in se38..It is a user exit for basic validation on sales...We may be able to find some code there (if screen data is predefined by code as mentioned)
Hope it helps

BAPI or Material and Purchasing Data

Do you know if SAP had any BAPIs that can be used to download materials by plant? The BAPI must send back the description, UOM/ISOCODE, purchasing value key, and manufacturer part number. Are there any views for the material stock by plant that are indexed?
Also we are using BAPI_PO_GET_DETAIL and PO_GETITEM. The BAPIs together would have all the information that what we needed. Do you know of another BAPI that would retrieve the same information that these two BAPIs retrieve (account assignment and history totals and List of the Pos line items). Do you know of an indexed view of EKPO and EKKO.

Dear All,
Was wondering in ECC6 EHP4 if there is any screen exit or enhancement where I can sort the icon for return item status in the return documetnt screen by it status like open or delete. Also is there is a possibility to hide certain status from this field and only display the one that we wanted only.

Ora-06550 returning data from Stored Procedure and Entity Data Model

Hi.
I'm creating an application that uses a WCF Service to return data. I also created a proyect with the EDMX design and mapped most of my DBModel to a classes context. I have added some of the procedures as well. One of them receive some parameters and return a Sys_RefCursor, that is populated according to the parameters.
I have declared the "<add >" tags in the Web.Config and imported the function of the Procedure. When I call the Asyncronous function I get different exceptions:
1. If I call the function, with all of the parameters i get:
Oracle.DataAccess.Client.OracleException: ORA-06550: línea 1, columna 8:
PLS-00306: número o tipos de argumentos erróneos al llamar a
'SP_HECHOSJURITER'
ORA-06550: línea 1, columna 8:
(wrong number or types of arguments in call to 'SP_HECHOSJURITER')
2. If i just set 1 parameter in the SP, returning the same type of data, I get:
Error al recibir la respuesta HTTP a
http://localhost/Procalculo.CGFM.SIGOC.DatosServices/ServiceDatos.svc.
(failed to receive http response. error 12152)
3. If I don't set any parameters in the procedure, it works fine, and return correct data.
It exclusively happen with one entity.
Any clue?
I appreciate any help.

When you return result sets from stored procedures to Entity Framework, you are very likely using implicit result sets. Implicit result sets don't need to be declared as a parameter in code, only in the <add> tags to define the metadata in the .NET config file.
For example, in the EF Oracle By Example, you'll see that the stored procedure in the function import has three parameters, but only two are declared in the code. The third one was defined in the config file.

SQL Data Modeler Terms and Definitions

Hello All,
I am new to using the SQL Data Modeler and I was wondering if someone could point me to a list of definitions of terms that are used throughout the SQL Data Modeler interface. The help documentation does not seem to define most of the terms that are used in the product.
Thanks in advance,
Craig

The Oracle SQL Developer Data Modeler help and the Data Modeler User's Guide, which shares content with the help, don't contain a glossary or list of terms. If the terms you're looking for are Oracle Database terms (such as definitions of tables and other database objects), the SQL Developer help and its user's guide do include brief definitions (in the Database Objects topic).
For other kinds of terms, the Data Modeler help does point to the Object Management Group (OMG) site, and perhaps the OMG Terms and Acronyms page ( http://www.omg.org/gettingstarted/terms_and_acronyms.htm) might help you. However, there's no guarantee that those definitions will completely apply to the Oracle SQL Developer Data Modeler tool.
For definitions or explanations of specific terms of interest, I recommend searching for (or using the Table of Contents to find) the relevant topics. You can also ask about specific terms or about terms in general in the Data Modeler discussion forum: SQL Developer Data Modeler forum: SQL Developer Data Modeler

External Data Refresh Failed. We cannot locate a server to load the workbook Data Model. ThisWorkBookDataModel

Hi All,
I have been trying to fix this for days now. I have tried solutions in many articles but to no avail. So while the error message is something you may have seen may times, I just can't find a solution in my case.
This is the error:
And in text just in case the image isn't viewable:
"External Data Refresh Failed. We cannot locate a server to load the workbook Data Model. We were unable to refresh one or more data connections in this workbook. The following connections failed to refresh: ThisWorkBookDataModel."
What is worse is I have checked the ULS (SharePoint Trace Logs), the Event Viewer Logs and the OWA Logs and I cannot find a specific error that would help pin point the problem.
Excel Workbook
So what am I doing? I have an Excel 2013 workbook and I create an "SQL Server" connection to the AdventureWorksDW database, add a pivot table and a pivot chart, test in in Excel and all works fine.
I save the Excel workbook to SharePoint 2013 and then select "Data" then "Refresh All Connections" and then I get the error in the picture above.
Even more puzzling is I have another Excel workbook that also has pivot tables and pivot charts in the AdventureWorksDW2012Multidimensional cube database in "SQL Analysis Services" and this works fine. Hmmm.
My Environment
My environment is Windows 2008 R2 Server, SharePoint 2013 with the April Service Pack1 and a separate server with OWA2013 SP1. It has an SQL Server 2008 R2 database which has been upgraded to SQL Server 2012.
Data Model Settings
In Excel Services this is set to my server name which is "server-name". As I do not have instances all I can enter is the server name. As this works everywhere else including the workbook outside of SharePoint I do not think this is the problem.
But I could be wrong.
Unattended Account
I have set this up for the PowerPivot Services App and Excel Services App.
ODC Connections in Excel
I have tried all 3 authentication modes, Windows, Secure Store ID and "None" which is the unattended account. I have not tried the other connection types, should I?
Not in WOPI
I am not in WOPI mode.
AD Accounts
I have added permissions in the SharePoint Services and SQL Server, and as they work in Excel outside of SharePoint, I do not think it is a permissions issue. I could be wrong of course, but the problem is in one of SharePoint, OWA, AD,
SQL Server, Excel, and Windows Server.
Isolate the Error
Below is a list of errors I think are relevant but they do not tell me much. The SharePoint logs are not really giving me an error that tells me what to do and where to do it, or even why it cannot refresh, (perhaps not noticeable by the untrained eye).
Problem with SQL Server Not Analysis Services
So my cube database in analysis services works fine in SharePoint/OWA but not the databases in sql server. This is my best clue but I have no idea what it means. Why would it work with an Analysis Services connection but not an "SQL Server" connection?
It Works Outside of SharePoint
If I run the excel worksheet outside of SharePoint all works fine. When inside OWA this is where the refresh error occurs.
Errors from Event Viewer on SharePoint Server using ULS Viewer
"Failed to create an external connection or execute a query. Provider message: There are no servers available or actively being initialized., ConnectionName: , Workbook:"
"Refresh failed for 'ThisWorkbookDataModel' in the workbook 'http://server...'. [Session: 1.V22.26itT0lx8piNFeqtuGVhN214.5.en-US5.en-US36.98c0e158-9113-46e9-850e-edda81d9ed1c1.A1.N User: 0#.w|ad\testuser1]"
And an error in the ULS under the "Data Model" category:
"--> Check Deployment Mode (server-name): Fail (Expected: SharePoint, Actual: Multidimensional)."
This last error, as it turned out, defined the problem concisely, although I was yet to work out what it meant in some detail.

I finally solved this myself (or should I say with the help of several key articles).
The refresh did not work because the database was not in "SharePoint Mode". Yes, SQL Server has modes, 3 of them in fact.
If you installed SharePoint to the default SQL instance which would be called <servername> then you cannot use this default instance for Excel 2013 workbooks in OWA 2013 because the refresh only works if the database is in SharePoint mode.
So what are these 3 modes? The Deployment Mode property in the msmdsrv.ini file has them as:
0 = Multidimensional mode (the default whenever you install SQL Server normally)
1 = PowerPivot for SharePoint mode
2 = Tabular mode mode
How do you know what mode you are in? That's easy, open SQL Studio Manager and connect to all your SQL database engine instances (ignore Analysis Services or SSRS as they are not database engines). If you only have the default instance then that is almost
definately in Multidimensional mode which is the default and what SharePoint installs its databases to.
You must have an instance called <servername>\POWERPIVOT. This instance is the "sharepoint mode" needed, and the default instance name when you install an SQL instance in this mode.
If you don't see <servername>\POWERPIVOT in SQL server then you are not in "sharepoint mode". It is more accurate to say, you do not have an instance that is in sharepoint mode. This is because you cannot simply switch modes on an SQL server.
You have to install a new instance in the required mode, thats the only way.
That's easy enough. Load up the SQL Server setup CD and run setup. Install a brand new instance and select "SQL Server PowerPivot for SharePoint" when you get there in the wizard.
Now you will have the default instance that stores all the SharePoint databases and that is in mode 0, and a new instance called <servername>\POWERPIVOT that is in mode 1. The "<servername>\POWERPIVOT" instance connection is what you
will use for Excel 2013 when rendering in OWA 2013.
You also need to ensure OWA 2013 is not in WOPI mode for Excel worksheets. See the last link below for more information about WOPI.
Next you should go to the Excel Service App in CA and click Data Model Settings and add the <servername>\POWERPIVOT instance.
Then you have to either turn off the firewall on the SQL server machine, or create an inbound rule on the Windows firewall to open the TCP port for the <servername>\POWERPIVOT instance:
1. Start Task Manager and then click Services to get the PID of the MSOLAP$InstanceName.
2. Run netstat –ao –p TCP from the command line to view the TCP port information for that PID.
Finally, you can now create Excel 2013 workbooks that run in OWA without refresh errors, as long as you are connecting to the <servername>\POWERPIVOT instance. Hooray.
