Metadata from Erwin data model to BO Designer

Hi,
I have generated a CWM XML file from ErWin, that contains the physical table names of all tables in the model. I am using universe "metadata exchange" to convert this data model into a universe. The first time "create universe" is happening fine.
The problem is while updating the model.
There is a "owner" field specified in Erwin table. If thats left empty, the tables in the universe schema are generated as "unnamed_NNN.<TABLE_NAME>". (NNN is a number)
Obviously I have to remove the unnamed_NNN from the tables so that it will recognise the default database for the connection.
Say, the metadata has undergone some changes and we want to update the universe with new metadata. I used "metadata exchange" to update the universe from the model. At this time, it creates a new table and class with "unnamed_NNN.<TABLE_NAME>", instead of updating my TABLE_NAME class and object definition with the changed metadata.
This basically means update doesn't function as expected. Can anyone suggest if this is a limitation of the metadata exchange or am I doing something wrong ?

I am trying to do the same thing using ER/Studio and have the same problem.
In addition, the joins from the model are not being reflected in the universe.

  • Powerpivot Error on Refresh -- "We couldn't get data from the data model..."

    I'm using Excel 2013 and Windows 8.1.  I have a spreadsheet I've been using for over a year, and I've just started getting this error message when I try to refresh the data.
    "We couldn't get data from the Data Model.  Here's the error message we got:
    The 'attributeRelationship' with 'AttributeID' - 'PuttDistCat9' doesn't exist in the collection"
    Any idea how I can fix this problem?  I haven't changed anything related to that particular attribute.  All the data is contained in separate sheets in the workbook, so there are no external sources of data.
    Thanks.
    Jean

    Thanks for all the suggestions.
    I found a slightly older version of the spreadsheet that still refreshes properly, so I don't think I have any issues with the version of Excel or Power Query.  (I've had this same error before, and I believe I applied the hotfix at that time.)
    I think this problem started after I updated a number of the date filters in the pivot tables.  I haven't made any changes to the data model, and the only updates I've made were to add data (which I do all the time), and to change the date filters on
    the pivot tables.
    As suggested, I added a new pivot table querying one table (the table with the attribute that shows up in the error message), and it worked fine.  I can also refresh this pivot table.
    Then I tried adding a pivot table which went against several tables in the data model (including the table in question).  The pivot table seemed to return that data properly.  However, when I tried to refresh it, I got the same error message ("we
    couldn't get data from the data model..."). 
    Dany also suggested running the queries one at a time to see which one is in error.  Without checking all the pivot tables, it appears that any which use the table "HolePlayedStrokes" generate the error (this is the table with the attribute
    mentioned in the error message).  Pivot Tables without that particular table seem to refresh OK.  Unfortunately, that is the main table in my data model, so most of the pivot tables use it.
    Any other suggestions?  I'd be happy to send a copy of the spreadsheet.
    Thanks for all the help.

    Client is any server that connects to a database. I am assuming that CA will be installed on a Windows XP machine and it will connect to a remote database on another server. I am assuming since you have not provided any details.

  • Generate ER Diagram from Sql Data Modeler

    Hi,
    I want to use the Oracle Sql Developer Data Modeler to generate ER diagram for my schema. There are huge number of tables in this schema, so I would like to identify only those tables which need to be selected for generating my ER diagram.
    Basically, I want only those table which are having relationship with other tables here. The reason being, if I select all tables in the schema then I would get those tables in the ER diagram which don't have any relationship with other tables.
    Can someone please suggest writing queries which yield this from data dictionary?
    Thanks.

    Well, your requirement is based on the the database schemas having been designed with proper primary key and foreign key constraints in place.  If they're not there then the database doesn't know about the relationships between tables, and such relationships are just theoretical (and as such usually controlled by the application that uses them).
    Of course there are also tables that are used by applications for lookups and other reasons, so they're part of the application and should be included on ER diagrams, even if they have no direct relationship to any one table (or they could have relationships to many tables).
    So, rather than try and write queries to figure out what tables are required, why not let the Data Modeller tool generate an ER diagram from the information that IS known about on the database, and then you can see if the relationships exist, or if they're missing and need manually putting on the diagram (or applying to the database).

  • How to display all value of metadata from nodes collection model in content presenter template

    Hi All,
    first of all the new look of OTN is great.
    coming to problem i am facing (i dont know whr to ask here or in portal forum).
    i am creating a content presenter template to display list of items.
    now as per requirement i need to create a drop down to filter the list.
    now while check- in a file author would choose a value in one metadata field lets say xCategory(which is a single select list).
    i have to display similar category list on portal to allow user to filter list.
    i could hv used view of xCategory but problem is files are targeted to role using ACL. so u see i cant display all category to all users.
    also customer wants this whole thing to be Dynamic i.e. they can add value of xCategory later that to could be only for specific role (on portal it should be role specific , author can see whole list not a problem there).
    so what i think is if content is given as search result so the category. so now if i can get the all xCategory metedata from 'nodes' collection model in template i can create drop down with out having any additional bean.
    somthing like this
    #{nodes.xCategory} (but this one is not correct).
    please suggest me any solution.
    thanks

    Hi,
    you can do all of what you said with JSF. ADF Faces provides drag and drop functionality (have a look at the Web Developer Guide) that allow you to move nodes within a tree. The drag and drop framework sends an event notification to the server with a reference to the changed node.You can also have context menus on a tree node to help users creating, deleting and editing a tree nodes. JavaScript isn't required at all, even if you wanted to drag and drop a row in a table on top of a tree node to create a new tree node.
    I just finished a book project in which we explained this usecase. As soon as I find the time, I'll follow up with a blog entry on this as it seems to be a common requirement. However, as mentioned, the web developer guide on OTN explains drag and drop in ADF Faces pretty well.
    However, if you choose the "Search" link above, choose JDeveloper and ADF as the product to search for and type drag and drop as the search string, then you get lots of code sample posted in the past to this forum

    Hi Selva,
    This is a forum for Designer, not CASE tools in general. I suggest you take a look at the http://www.infoadvisors.com/ site, as that has an Erwin Users Discussion Group (you'll need to register) or talk to your technical support contact at Erwin.

  • AllFusion Erwin Data Modeler Connection to SAP NW2004s Systems

    We would like to use a data modeling product that we purchased for many of our SAP NW systems.  We understand that there may be some restrictions on DB direct user connections and would like to confirm the following from those that may have exposure in this area:
    1.  If we connection the DM product to SAP, are there any restrictions on the data that is read from the SAP DB?
    2.  Are we violating any SAP license agreement by using the third party tool for data modeling on our SAP NW systems (since it will require a DB connection)?
    3.  Any other helpful information?
    Any guidance would be very much appreciated.
    Thanks and best regards,
    Chris

    Hi Chris,
    How does your DM product plan on "connecting" to the SAP applications?  Most of the time, SAP applications provide Remote Function Calls (RFC) (i.e. in the programming world, methods) for programmers to call in order to push or pull data to itself.  There are no restrictions here aside from the normal authorizations given to access data on the application.  Although SAP discourages any direct manipulations directly to the database layer.

  • How to load from a data model located in SharePointOnline/PowerBI?

    PowerPivot has the option to load 'From Analysis Services Or PowerPivot'.
    The Table Import Wizard usually expects the full path of the workbook (including the data model) in SharePoint.
    However, 'http://myname.sharepoint.com/shared documents/myfile.xlsx' doesn't work.
    How can I access  my online data model from PowerPivot ?

    SharePoint needs to have Power Pivot Enabled. Speak to your SharePoint Admin if you have any questions about that. Once enabled, you would be able to create a Power Pivot Gallery - where you can upload your Power Pivot Models. Once uploaded the easiest way
    is to go to the Gallery and click on the "Excel" button next to the model. This would provide you a connection to the file on SharePoint.

  • Creating PDF from ERD (Data Modeler) in readable format

    I created an entity relationship diagram (ERD) using Toad Data Modeler.  I want to save/print it to PDF, which I can just fine.  However, it cuts off tables and is very hard to read.  I'm looking for a format to use that will not cut off the tables.  I've played around with various settings, but can't get it to look right.  Are there specific settings I should be targeting so it won't cut off the diagram?  Thank you!

    Thank you.  I've been playing around with the page size, but it still wants to cut off some of my tables, almost as if I can't get the diagram to size into the size of the PDF margins.  I can't seem to find the magic combination so I figured I must be missing a parameter setting somewhere.  Thank you for your time.

  • Importing Metadata from PowerDesigner into OBIEE 11g

    Hi, I've digging for any information without success so far. I'm a Co-op student, so forgive me if this a naive question. I have to import some metadata from our Data Modelling software: it has the descriptions in a business level to all facts, tables and important objects. I want to import this so the user can just hover the mouse on the Criteria objects and be aware of what that object really means.
    I could do it manually through RPD, by just writing down on the description field what I wanted to show on the front-end. My research showed me that there is a XML file that I have to create, which I did, by extracting the information I need from PowerDesigner.
    I really appreciate your help.

    Hello,
    You can put those 60 users in a group say OBIEE_Users and use this group in All Users Filter in WLS.
    User Base DN : DC=CORP,DC=NET
    All user Filter : (&(memberof=CN=OBIEE_Users,OU=BIUsers,DC=CORP,DC=NET)(cn=*)(objectclass=user))
    User from name filter : (&(cn=%u)(objectclass=user))
    Refer to this example on how its configured : http://paulcannon-bi.blogspot.com/2012/07/configuring-ldap-authentication-for.html
    Hope this helps. Please mark if it does.
    Thanks,

  • Can I pass parameters from a dashboard via a dashboard prompt and presentation variable to publisher report based on a data model with select statements in OBIEE 11g ?

    I have a publisher 11g (v 11.1.1.7)  report with a single parameter. The report is based on a data model not a subject area.  I created a dashboard put a dashboard prompt and link to the report in separate section on the same page.  The dashboard prompt sets a presentation variable named the same as the parameter in the report. 
    The problem was when I created the dashboard prompt, it forced me to select a subject area which I did (though did not want to) and then I created both a column and variable prompts. But clicking on the
    report link completely ignored the value that I thought would be passed in the presentation variable to the report.
    Side note :  My report uses a pdf template for its layout where I have mapped the columns names from my data model to the form fields on the pdf form.  I noticed that if I create a publisher report based on a subject area, then I do not have the choice to choose a PDF as a template type for my layout.  (I only see BI Publisher Template as a choice). 
    I see some documentation online that suggest it could be done in 10g.
    Thanks

    Ok,
    I just tried that and it still doesn't pass anything to the prompt.
    I changed the prompt to an edit field and I made the following weblink but when i click the link from an account it doesn't put anything in the prompt and all data for all accounts is shown.
    This is the URL maybe I messed something up...
