Merge Repository - Question

I have tested merging repositories using some threads and the following link:
http://oraclebizint.wordpress.com/2007/11/22/oracle-bi-ee-101332-merging-repositories/
The scenario I set up was that I made a copy of the Paint.rpd file and renamed it Paint2.rpd. In this Paint2.rpd, I added two new columns to the Products folder in the Business and Presentation layer - simple text columns named ColumnA and ColumnB. I now want to merge these changes.
The merge steps -
- I make a copy of the Paint.rpd and call it CopyofPaint.rpd
- I open the Paint.rpd in offline mode
- I select File-Merge and select the CopyofPaint.rpd
- For the Modified Repository (the middle drop-down) I select Paint2.rpd
Ok I am presented with a dialog box that has nothing/blank values under the columns - Type/Name/Description/Decisions, however, when I select Merge it merges my two new columns (ColumnA and ColumnB) into a new repository file.
This goes totally against what I am seeing in the Tool Documentation - my assumption is that I would see the two new columns under Type/Name/Description/Decisions and allow me to select whether I want to merge both of them or one of them. (The Decisions drop-down). It basically looks like the steps above are only providing an all or nothing approach.
Is my assumption wrong? If these are the wrong steps please let me know, this is a very simple test where I followed the posts and it still does not allow me to pick or choose what I want to merge.
I look forward to the responses.

Venkat,
Thank you for the response I read your new post, however, per my example, going that route only lets me merge over the Paint and Paint Exec Presentation catalogs. Since it is now compared against the Blank repository it finds the full folder/catalog. Again the all or nothing approach, if I just wanted to bring over ColumnA and not ColumnB I wouldn't be able to in this new approach.
When you take the merge options for what they are presented as you would think it would show the differences at the levels/choics you want. If I select the CopyofPaint.rpd as the Original and the Paint2.rpd as the Modified I am perplexed as why it doesn't show the two new columns as the difference instead of leaving it blank. Would you agree? Or am I looking at this wrong? Going through the OBIEE Admin document seems to present the scenario where I would see the 2 columns and have a choice of merging both or just one.
Thanks, I appreciate your input

Delete in Merge Repository?

Is there a possibility to merge Usage Tracking into Production Repository without delete Objects in the merged Repository?
Regards,
Stefan

Hi my english is a little bad so ...
with code is better .
This's just an idea .. maybe have something wrong.
(INSERT, UPDATE, DELETE) IN ONE MERGE
CREATE TABLE "DEV_BIWORKSPACE"."TDUMMY1"
"ID" NUMBER NOT NULL ENABLE,
"DATOS" NUMBER NOT NULL ENABLE,
CONSTRAINT "TDUMMY1_PK" PRIMARY KEY ("ID") ENABLE
CREATE TABLE "DEV_BIWORKSPACE"."TDUMMY2"
"ID" NUMBER NOT NULL ENABLE,
"DATOS" NUMBER NOT NULL ENABLE,
CONSTRAINT "TDUMMY1_PK" PRIMARY KEY ("ID") ENABLE
MERGE INTO TDUMMY2 T2
USING (select NVL(a.ID,b.ID) ID,NVL(a.DATOS,b.DATOS) DATOS,a.ID NUL from TDUMMY1 a full outer join tdummy2 b on a.id = b.id ) T1
ON (T1.ID = T2.ID)
WHEN NOT MATCHED THEN
INSERT (t2.ID,t2.datos)
VALUES (t1.ID,t1.datos)
WHEN MATCHED THEN
UPDATE SET t2.datos = t1.datos WHERE (t2.datos != t1.datos OR (NUL is NULL))
delete where (NUL is NULL);

Merge repository

I have problem merging the repository with the following procedure:
- open the 1st repository that I want to merge on offline mode
- click merge (from file menu)
- select a dummy repository as the orginal repository
- select the 2nd repository (fro merging) as the modified repository
-click merge
Pls advise how the procedure to get it working. I'm using 10.1.3.3

Hi Daan bakboord,
I've followed the great procedure describe at this URL :
http://oraclebizint.wordpress.com/2007/11/22/oracle-bi-ee-101332-merging-repositories/
My exact manipulations in details were in order :
- First : Open the first current repository in offline mode (current_repository.rpd).
- Second : Copy this current repository and select it (current_dummy_repository.rpd) as dummy repository for original repository.
- Third : Choose the modified repository (modified_repository.rpd).
- Fourth : Save merged as repository (current_repository_merged.rpd).
And finally my saved merged repository (current_repository_merged.rpd) is exactly the same as my modified repository (modified_repository.rpd) like the merge lost the objects of the first current repository. It seems like the merged repository is equals to modified repository.
Probably a bad operation of my part ?
Does anybody have the same problem and succeed to solve it ?
Thanks in advance for your times.

Getting Confused in merge repository process

Hi All,
i have a repository in PROD and there we added some users to that repository then we have another repository currently in DEV where we have the new Development. what i want to do is i want to merge both repositories that they will have the same users in both of them while i am doing the merging process i am selecting PROD repository as the Original repository and current Dev repository as Current. My question is what should i select as the modified repository?
Thanks

You need to use a "No common parent" merge. Read this: http://download.oracle.com/docs/cd/E14571_01/bi.1111/e10540/mngreposfiles.htm#insertedID3
The original is a blank repo, then you have current repo (Prod) and modified repo (Dev) and you create a marge repo (then deploy to production)

Local Repository Question...

First - I really appreciate all the work that everyone has put into this, I'm really starting to like this distro a lot...
Second...
Still pretty new to the linux world. Messed with Xubuntu for the last few months, but I wanted to learn more... So I've ended up with Arch...
I've done a couple of installs to a GUI with some success, but still have a few things to get figured out...
Third - My question...
I spend a lot of time in places where I do not have internet access and I really like to mess, so I've download all of the files from an extra repository to set up a local repo on my hd.
I ran the perl script quickhack from the wiki against the directory, copied the file the script created to the directory with all of the other files and renamed it to "current.db.tar.gz"
From there I set my pacman.conf to point to the directory and done a sync/refresh and everything works fine...
I can search/install any of the files that are listed, but when I try to do "pacman -S xfce4" or "pacman -S gnome" I get the "not found in sync db"... I can install any of the separate files but not an entire group...
What is it that I'm overlooking ?
Thanks...

Why did you do that? There are few ways to create local mirror (full or only installed packages) of Arch repos, all described on Wiki.
You don't need to merge Arch repos into one local repository.

That's because you regenerated repo db with this script, so you lost your groups.
If I understand you correctly, you need to look at these articles:

Maven support in 11.1.1.2 / repository question

Oracle team,
Great job on 11.1.1.2, nice to see the developer preview of Maven support. I am still in the process of downloading it; while it's coming down, I thought I'd post a question..
I really like Maven, and I'd like to use it for ADF projects. With what looks like nice basic Maven support in JDev, there is only one thing that holds me back at the moment, and that is having the Oracle ADF libraries in a repository. Yes, it's quite easy for me to put them in my own repository, and that is something I'd like to move forward with. However, in order to make that process more resilient, it would be nice if Oracle published a recommended structure for the artifact names; in that way, I could be more or less sure that I won't have to re-do everything in the future. I've even considered (if Oracle does publish a recommended taxonomy) writing an extension that would snarf all of the JDeveloper library definitions and publish them to a repository, and furthermore to change the local library definitions to point to my local Maven copy.
Thoughts on this?
John

Muhammed,
I'm not clear on your question, but here is an example. We have a project that uses ADF BC4J.
Here is a example of a dependency specification from the project pom:
<dependency>
<groupId>com.oracle.jdeveloper.library</groupId>
<artifactId>BC4J_Runtime</artifactId>
<version>${jdev.release}</version>
<type>pom</type>
<exclusions>
<exclusion>
<groupId>com.oracle.jdeveloper.jars.lib</groupId>
<artifactId>xmlparserv2</artifactId>
</exclusion>
<exclusion>
<groupId>com.oracle.jdeveloper.jars.lib</groupId>
<artifactId>xml</artifactId>
</exclusion>
<exclusion>

<dependency>
<groupId>com.oracle.jdeveloper.library</groupId>
<artifactId>ADF_Model_Runtime</artifactId>
<version>${jdev.release}</version>
<type>pom</type>
</dependency>
And here is a fragment from the mvn dependency:tree command:

[INFO] | \- com.oracle.jdeveloper.jars.BC4J_lib:adfbinding:jar:10.1.3.4.0:compile
Note that the top level is a pom that relates to a JDeveloper Library, which is then composed of JARs. The intention was to maintain as close to a one to one mapping between the JDeveloper definitions and the maven artifacts. So, JDeveloper Libraries become maven poms.

Siebel Upgrade 7.8 to 8.1 - Merge Repository step error.

We are upgrading Siebel 7.8.2.14 to 8.1 and I get these errors at step "Repository Merge":
!!ERROR::The same values for 'Column Name' already exist.
If you would like to enter a new record, please ensure that the field values are unique.(SBL-DAT-00382)
!!ERROR::The same values for 'Column Name' already exist.
If you would like to enter a new record, please ensure that the field values are unique.(SBL-DAT-00382)
Object being added to the new repository!!ERROR::SBL-DEV-62125: REQUIRED FKey not found in 'New Customer Repository'
I am not sure if these are benign errors or not. Can you please help us fix the issue?

Is there any more information in the Application Upgrader screens that you can post up? Have you gone through the logs? They tend to be huge, after a repository merge, but you might find something to help identify the problem.

Mail Merge/ HTP question

Hi,
I'm trying to implement the Mail Merge utility that Scott Spendolini created. I had to make a few changes to my code to enable it handle large files. However, I now find that while it is correctly merging the document it is producing it with a name of "f" - no extension, no nothing.

My question is this: using the HTP package (to produce an RTF file) how do I specify the name of the file that is created?

Thank you in advance for your help.

David.

I've figured this out for myself now. I didn't know that I could use the following syntax:

htp.p('Content-Disposition: attachment; filename="FILENAME.rtf"');

Data merge: multiple questions

Hi all,
I'm having some difficulties merging some data to the proper output.
The situation is as followes:
I have a CSV as source file. It holds 4500+ news-items, with variable bodytext-lengths. I need a PDF for each record, but the length of the bodytext makes one item span 2 or 3 pages, and the next just one page, and so on...
My questions:
Is it possible to create a separate PDF for each record?
Is it possible to span the bodytext across a variable number of pages automatically (per document)?
Would be great if this is possible...
Thanks already for reading.
Best regards,
Menno

one record with no change in the size of any frames or any ability to span pages or auto-flow overset text.
Changing Frames Size, as long as the text frame is set up with auto-size, it will expand to necessary size during merge.
Spanning Pages, as long as datamerge placeholders are on master page with a master text frame, a datamerge forcing one record per document will create as many pages as necessary and into individual documents. This does not work if you "Export to PDF" from datamerge, only the first page of record appears.
Although the OP might be able to work around these issues, here are a few things to consider with the data source: a record consisting of a large volume of text most likely contains hard returns. A hard return will invoke a new record and would have to be removed from data source. Commas would also cause issues if working with CSV files.

Designer repository question

We currently have our designer repository at configuration 4.0.12.96.16. We were told that this version could be accessed by both Designer 6i and Designer 9i. The repository resides on an 8i database right now and we want to go to a 10g database.
I've checked the designer documentation on how to upgrade from a 6i or higher to 10g. However, i want to know if my designer 6i could still access this repository if i upgrade only the repository. The certification matrix doesn't cover designer 6i anymore...
Has anyone gone through this upgrade and can share lessons learned?

If you just upgrade de database version of the database where the repository resides from 8i to 10 there should be no problem. But if you upgrade the designer repository from 9i to 10g you will (probably) not be able to access this repository from a 6i or 9i client (only 10g client).

OBIEE 11g Repository Question: session context

The Metadata Repository Builder's Guide says in chapter 13, "Note: Alternatively, you can use the database session context to pass end user identity to the database. Use a connection pool script to set up session context. Note that this approach does not rely on database authentication."
However, no example or instruction is given to show/explain how to do that. Does anyone know how to set up a connection pool script to pass the :USER value to the database session context object? We have to pass the user ID of the Analytics user to the database so as to apply VPD policies.
Thanks,
Ken

I'm trying also to get work VPD with OBIEE 11.1.1.5, but no luck. I have done almost all the same as are in Venkatakrishnan's example. It seems that select statement with set function in "execute befire query" goes to the database, but it have no effort because query in Answers returns no rows, means that :USER is not forwarded to the policy function. Is it possible that statement in "execute before query" and Answer request are not in same database session? Have anyone got work VPD with OBIEE 11.1.1.5? Everything works ok for example in SQLPlus and in SQL Developer.

Solution Manager 4.0 and SAP R3 4.7E - Business Process Repository Question

When I am in solution manager setting up my business processes (solar01) to select my logical component with the drop-down I do not see my SAP R3 ERP 4.7 system available for selection. They do exist in my SLD (SMSY) and all the components with the 4.7 system. Does anyone know why they are not showing up in the drop-down for business process repository selection help?

Hi,
For how long the installation process has been running. Check the following.
1. The virtual memory page size that you have assigned.
2. The hard disk free space.
3. The Virtual memory should be optimized size, should not be larger than the free space available.
These are performance optimization settings.
I guess the installation would take around ten hours, I am not sure.
But one thing is sure SAP is not that bad to get aborted abruptly.
Keep Patience while installing. Before that take care that your system satisfies, requirements.
Hope I was clear. Feel free to get back, incase you face any problem.

Merge Clips Question

Have read the manual and searched the forums but can't work this out.
Basically I'm syncing double system audio and creating merged clips. As the video is HDV all the shots are already seperate clips. However the audio files are 1 hour long clips (transfered from DAT). Now, using the timeline technique to merge the clips, I cut out only the audio I need for each shot and merge it with the video. However the resulting clips contain ALL 1 hour of the audio (with in and out points around the video, that is most video shots are about 30 sec). This doesn't work for me since I want only the length of the shot on the playback bar of the preview window to be as long as only that shot is, for easy navigation in the shot. Even if I cut and delete the extra audio on the timeline, it still gives me all 1 hour of audio on the merged clip... how can I delete this unwanted audio on each clip? Not sure if I'm explaining this clearly. I have 43 hours and potentially thousands of shots, so individually exporting each and every merged clip as it's own shot is not at all doable from a time and hard drive space perspective. Thanks!

Ok. I've found an odd work around that you may want to try.
Make sure linking is on in your timeline. Sync audio to video. Link the audio to the video. Instead of merging, double-click to load the linked clip into the viewer.
Create a sub-clip (CMD+U). Drag the sub clip into the sequence. The audio and video will be the correct length, but the audio will not be in sync (it'll be offset, don't ask me why). Unlink the subclip (CMD+L). Using snapping, drag the video clip so that it's correctly atop the audio clip. Relink (CMD+L). Drag the new clip into your browser to create the merged clip.
The merged clip will no longer reference the entire audio media. You can delete the subclip from your browser when you're done.
It's a weird work around but it works and doesn't require any exporting or re-importing which will make it MUCH faster to get what you want.
