Move a database view

I need to move a database View from one system to another. Can I move the view without having to recreate the view on the other system? And, is there a system view for the material and customer tables?
Thank you

Hi
U can create a change request in the original system containing the database view and the import this request to the target system:
but u need to have administration system authorizations to do that: because u need to pick up the cofile and datafile from SAP server.
If you can't do it, u can only recreate the view again.

Database View is not appearing in the ABAP Coding

Dear Friends,
I am very much new in the ABAP. Actually I worked last 8 years in the Oracle PL/SQL. Recently, my company implements SAP. The database is Oracle 10g. I would like to use my oracle experience in the project. But in everywhere I faced some problem.
I have created one Database view by the Native sql. Here I am giving you the code.
Create OR REPLACE view ZVMVSL_ALLTPORT
AS
SELECT T1.MVESSEL_NO, T1.MVESSEL_NAME, T1.SHIPPINGLINE, T2.MVOYAGENUMBER,

This view i could not use from ABAP codes, ABAP/4 only identified by views which we would create from T-code se11. Now tell me how could I solve this issue. Because in this query i did some UNION which is not directly available in teh se11.
Please help me how to handle this situation. Because if I can use this sort of native sql views, I could solve lot of things in the development.

You can use real SQL to query non SE11 created database tables - look at the SAP help on EXEC SQL - but this is really not a good idea. For example, it is database specific which removes one of the 'advantages' of SAP ie that it is portable between different database platforms;using SAP's Open SQL should mean that if your company moves to eg SQL Server it shouldn't be necessary to doing any re-coding whereas anything you've done in Oracle SQL will have to be re-coded. There are also other disadvantages of using real SQL eg you don't get any help from the syntax checker and I think you would bypass the whole SAP security level - SAP security is defined at application level and not via database grants.
I would bet a reasonable amount of money that there is nothing that you can do in real SQL that you can't replicate in SAP's Open SQL . Ok the Open SQL solution might be a bit more convoluted and possibly less elegant but you can make it do the same thing. If you want to stick with Oracle then I guess you should look for a job that uses Oracle rather than SAP.

Complex Folders Vs Database Views - Discoverer 10g

Hello All,
The way complex folders works is almost similar to creating a database view and using that to create a custom folder.
So could someone advise wrt peformance etc which is a better option ?
Creating complex folders gives the flexibility to change whatever changes are rqd using disco admin and does not reqd even logging to which incase of DB views would need to be done to recreate a view incase of any changes. But would like to weigh down both the options on other parameters.
One thing i see is implementing oracle apps security is easier using DB views...but again..i could create custom folders using select * from table where gl_security_pkg concept and then create complex folders using these folders ?
Any thoughts would be helpful
Thanks.

Vishalg.
The way I've always considered it is as follows:
1. I prefer not to be 'married' to one tool (ie: Disco) and therefore always recommend writing database views over custom / complex folders if possible. That way, database tools such as TOAD, SQL Nav, SQL Dev, etc. can also use the view (not to mention Oracle Reports, etc. as well).
With that in mind, I try to have most folders just pointing to a database view and all the 'fine tuning' done in the folder (ie: column order, hierarchies, security, etc.).
2. I do use custom folders when it's a LOV that's used in an item class. For example, you could create a simple LOV in a folder on an item, by just using that item for the source and the output. However, if it's a big dataset or you want to go to another table that's small and just has the distinct values for example, a custom folder is perfect for creating (I always put a _LOV extension on the folder name so I know) and setting an item class against.
Sometimes though, I've created a LOV for the list and then have just brought it in to a folder by simply pointing to it. It's the same kind of consideration in 1. above - if I'm creating a system that may be used by other tools - or God forbid - a client wants to move to another query tool like Cognos, BO, etc. then all the views are already there in the database and you just have to build their version of the middle layer (ie: catalog, universe, etc.).
3. I don't think I've ever had to use a complex folder. The concept is good though as in you can have 2 folders that are joined, but you want to create another folder that only has certain fields from each of the original 2 folders and that's the one a user uses.
But same consideration as above. Do I want to completely customize the Disco EUL, or use it more as a 'delivery device' (hey ... good term!).
One other big consideration for all this is that if you work in a shop where they have a big (read obnoxious) DBA who doesn't "allow views in his database" (been there), then you can always do the custom / complex folder thing from within Disco Admin and keep the DBA happy. However, once he's fired for being obnoxious and then new "touchie-feely" DBA comes on board, you may curse why you had to create a custom EUL in the first place.
All just your point of view, but I'm a view guy all the way.

Migrating database views between instances

I've discoverer folders based out of database views?(around 30-40) and i'm planning to migrate all the VIEW's from one instance to another
I'm currently executing 1 by 1 and since, these views are growing in number with the requirements i was wondering if there a easy way/tool to achieve this.

Hi
In addition to the advice already given, are you also changing the owner for the views? If you are then you will need to update Discoverer to tell it who now owns them.
Should you move a view from one schema to another, use this workflow to update Discoverer.
1. Launch Discoverer Admin.
2. Open the business area containing a view that had its owner changed.
3. Right-click on the folder and from the pop-up select Properties.
4. Click on Owner and from the list of users, select the new owner
5. Click OK to return to the Folder Properties dialog box.
6. Click OK to close the Folder Properties dialog box.
7. Right-click on the folder again; and from the pop-up list select Refresh.
8. As you only have one option, click Finish.
9. Discoverer will now compare the data definitions for the object and hopefully you will have no differences.
If you do have differences this means there is something different in the new view and you will have to determine what that is and then fix it.
Does this help?

Move the DataBase ORACLE 9i to other server

I have a DataBase ORACLE 9i in a Power 6 with operation system RedHat Linux 4 PPC64 and datafiles, redologs, etc.. in /ext3.
My database lun's are into external storage like a EMC or IBM.
I need to move the DataBase ORACLE 9i to other server itanium IA 64 RedHat Linux 4 with /ext3 running DataBase ORACLE 9i.
I intend to remap these lun's and mount this /ext3 to this node.
1- This is possible?
2- The DataBase ORACLE 9i will start in the itanium IA 64 server?
Edited by: E.Vargas on Feb 12, 2010 8:10 AM

Read about 'Transportable tablespace' and about 'cross platform transport' topics from oracle 10g and oracle 11g documentation. In 9i it's not possible.

Database View do not refresh in ADF application

Greetings,
im facing a weird problem in my application (JDeveloper 11.1.2.4.0 - ADF). All this time i was working directly with tables (VO), but now i also started using database views.
Everything works fine, when i add a new row in a table that my Database Views is associated with, it refresh properly.
BUT if i delete rows manually from my database, the View do not refresh in my application, not by refreshing the page,
redeploying application, even executing the view object query inside the view object. The only way for the DB View to be
refresh inside the JDeveloper and on deployment time is by restart JDeveloper. I try adding an action on my OV to re-execute them when
i do something specifically, hopefully the will reset the cache and retrieve the DB view again, but with no luck..
Correction: now it doesnt even refresh on restart jdeveloper.
Just for the clarification, im talking about Database Views, and not just Object Views. I create a Object View inside the application to retrieve the data
from the Database View results.
Can you help me on this please?

Yes the queries in SQLDeveloper was showing me correct results.
But i feel disappointed.. When i went to close SQLDeveloper to try something, it pop me a message to commit/rollback changes.
After i commit them, my app show correct results too.

Snowflake dimension: named query vs. database view

A test question features a Product table with a Product Size code; Product Size description is taken from ProductSize table. As far as I can tell, the question asks me to choose between (a) setting up a database view joining Product and ProductSize, and
(b) doing the join in a data-source-view named query. I don't see a clear winner. (My thinking is as follows. Yes, he view would speed up the processing, even if not materialized. On the other hand, with a small dataset, the performance gain would be
minor in absolute terms. Do I want to have an extra database object in the picture?) Yet the question's author does. Can anyone advise please?

Hi Demyan,
According to your description, you want to know which is better, using named query in datasource view or using database view, right?
Based on my research, there is no performance differences between using named query in datasource view and using database view because they both result in SQL query being sent to the source system. Here is a blog which discuss this issue.
Consistency: If you already have logic in database views, I would continue to use them. As long as you know that you go to one spot to view/change the logic. Putting the logic in 2 different spots could lead to confusion.
Security Permissions: often you may not have permission to alter the source databases, in this case you have no choice but to setup named queries in the dsv.

Primavera Web services does not work properly when I move the database.

I am using primavera web services to integrate a winform application (using c#) with primavera. It was successful with my original database, but when I decided to move my database to another server ( It is a sql server 2005 database and I use backup/restore to move database to new server). I changed the database configuration for the webservices so that it refers to the new database on the new server.
I used the following code to login to webservices:
                AuthenticationService authService = new AuthenticationService( );
                authService.CookieContainer = new System.Net.CookieContainer( );
                authService.Url = _P6wsAuthenticationService;
                Login loginObj = new Login( );
                loginObj.UserName = pv_Username;
                loginObj.Password = pv_Password;
                loginObj.DatabaseInstanceId = 1;
                loginObj.DatabaseInstanceIdSpecified = true;
                loginObj.VerboseFaults = true;
                loginObj.VerboseFaultsSpecified = true;
                LoginResponse loginReturn = authService.Login( loginObj );
                cookieContainer = authService.CookieContainer;
               ReadDatabaseInstancesResponseDatabaseInstance[] readdbInstances = authService.ReadDatabaseInstances("");
the loginResponse for the new server is true and it shows the db properties correctly in readdbInstances. But when I try to read projects from database it returns nothing. It doesn't give me any error message just the response message is null.
Could anybody help me with this issue?
Thank you

Thanks Frank for help us, but when I writing this comment we are doing at home. So, we going to test the page in a stand alone weblogic server 10.3.5. We wrote the URL as :
" http://<our ip>:7001/myApp/faces/index.jspx "
this application contains a report desing and compiled with iReport 4.5.1 ( last version in the moment ), we can see the report when I press a commanButton without any problem.
But now, we need try your suggestions in the office, and give you more information about it . Thanks for the moment.
In the Afternoon we gonna give you more information about it .

Set operator NE in Database View creation in join condition

Hi Experts,
I have a requirement to set NE(not equal) operator in join condition of Database View creation. Could you please help me how to set in operator.
Join condition :
Ex : BSAK-AUGBL NE BSAK-BELNR.
You know that by default operator is '='. i want to set NE in place of '='.
Thanks,

Hi Chinna,
Check whether if there is any possibility or not to include more key fields like bukrs, lifnr, gjahr etc in the where condition, so that you query may result faster. Then, there won't be any necessary to create the view.
Hope this helps.
Please reward if useful.
Thanks,
Srinivasa

How to copy/move Portal database from one machine to another?

I am receiving a ORA-22973 error (size of object identifier exceeds maxmum size allowed) on the wwsec_enabler_config_info$ table when attempting to import my entire "portal30" schema from one database to another on different Windows NT Servers.
Background: I had Portal 3.0.9.8 installed, configured, and running with the following setup:
Machine 1: Windows NT 4.0 SP 6, Oracle 9iAS 1.0.2.2, Oracle Portal 3.0.9.8
Machine 2: Windows NT 4.0 SP 6, Oracle 8i Database 8.1.7.0.0
We no longer have use of Machine 2 and needed to move the database over to Machine 1.
I performed the following steps:
1. Installed Oracle 8i database 8.1.7.0.0 on Machine 1.
2. Set up the tablespaces in the database on Machine 1 to match the same names and sizes of the tablespaces in the database on Machine 2.
3. Used the Oracle "exp" command to export the entire database that resided on Machine 2.
4. Copied the ".dmp" file to Machine 1.
5. Used the Oracle "imp" command to import the entire database on Machine 1.
6. The import completed successfully with warnings. But I had received the ORA-22973 error during the import process.
7. After it completed I compared the list of tables and packages in the "portal30" schema between the two databases. The wwsec_enabler_config_info$ table is missing.
8. I tried to export and import only the wwsec_enabler_config_info$ table between the two databases, but continue to receive the ORA-22973 error.
Without the table being created, access to the portal cannot be achieved.
Here are my questions:
1. Is there anyway to create the wwsec_enabler_config_info$ table without receiving the noted error?
2. Is there any other workable way to get the portal database from Machine 2 to Machine 1?
I am aware of the portal import/export utilities but that would require me to run through the 2 hour install of Portal 3.0.9.8 on the database on Machine 1 and then individually export and import all the portal components (security, pages, applications, content library, etc). I merely wanted to transfer the entire database from one machine to another, so I felt the Oracle exp/imp utilities would be quicker and less work.

Hi,
I've been hitting problems with Portal 3.0.9.8.1 against 8.1.7.2.1 on NT - i.e., Intermedia not working at all, and have been advised by support to move back to 8.1.7.1.1.
I don't want to lose any of my content in the Portal since the db upgrade and am wondering on what is the best way to do this.
The version of the Portal will be the same so I am hoping I can just use the Portal export and import utilities, as afterall, it is just data and the schema structures are the same between db versions. I'm also hoping that the Portal export doesn't use the standard Oracle EXP tool as it doesn't work anymore on 8.1.7.2.1 on NT!!

John

Using database views in ADF mobile client application

Hi,
I am using Jdeveloper 11.1.1.4 and WLS 10.3.4.
I have developed a POC in ADF mobile client application both with and without synchronization. However, both work with entity objects based on tables.
I need to use database views instead of tables. When I try to include entity object (based on views) in the view object, it shows an error saying "Only the entity objects based on tables can be selected"
Please guide me if there is a work around for this.
Also, please let me know if there is way to develop an ADF mobile client application skipping the use of entity objects at all and using view objects directly to specify the database query and fetch data from the database.
Thanks in advance.
Ansh
Edited by: ansh on Mar 28, 2011 5:40 AM

Hi, Ansh:
Currently, out of box, ADF Mobile Client does not support synchronization against Database Views. This is because Mobile Server imposes some schema restrictions to ensure synchronization with multi-table views would work correctly. This schema restriction requires, for example, the view must have a primary parent table with key defined, and also all base table must be included in the data publication. These dependencies requires manual resolution and advanced planning, and is managed outside of the ADF Mobile Client/JDeveloper project.
To continue development, you would need to create server Entity Objects directly against the base tables. You can then create the mobile ADF Business Component (EOs, VOs, etc). You can then create View Objects in your ADF Mobile Client application based on the database views, in order to retrieve the data you need exactly. In other words, instead of basing EO on the database view, create View Objects in the mobile applicaiton to mimic what you had in the View Object.
Is there any other reason why you would need to access data via database views, instead of directly against base tables?
Thanks,
Joe Huang

How to delete a record in Database View?

Your intention should be in search of the root of that extra record. Not the deleting it without knowing anything.
Sure, You have put join conditions correctly?

Z Database view is not showing all the entries?

Hello
Last year I have created a Z table, say, its name is Z_TABL_1, its working fine, say, there is around 1000 entries in PRD, well
Last week I have created another 2nd Z table, its name is Z_TABLE_2, now it has 50 entries in PRD
In both tables the key field os the same (VISITOR_NUMBER) and there is only one key field in both tables, its the same
When creating the 2nd table I forgot to specify the CHECK table relationship in 2nd table refering 1st table, I mean, dependent table is 2nd whereas reference is 1st table
Now, I created a database view, say, my_db_view on these 2 tables.
When I opened this my_db_view in SE16, I expected 1000 (this 1st table count) entries, but am seeing just 50 (the 2nd table has only 50 entries) entries!!
Pls. let me know how can I view all the 1000 entries in SE16 for my_db_view?
Thank you

Hi,
in your DB view tables are joined and database views implement an inner join (you can check here: http://help.sap.com/saphelp_nw04s/helpdata/en/cf/21ecab446011d189700000e8322d00/content.htm), that's why the system extracts only 50 records.
It's not possible to have all the 1000 records using a database view.

Progammatic update a table with a database view in the page

Hi All,
I am using JDev 11g. With FOD database schema, I have one database view Products which comes from two tables Products_Base and Product_Transactions. I created three EOs (ProductEO, ProductsBaseEO, ProductTransactionsEO) and three VOs (ProductVO, ProductsBaseVO, ProductTransactionsVO) based on their EOs respectively.
Here is my scenario. I have an ADF form which is based on the database view Products and is dragged and dropped from Data Controls->ProductVO. When an existing record is submitted, a backing bean method will be called to update the data against the table Products_Base (and the table Product_Transactions at the same time) programmatically. An update method updateProductPrice() is added into the Application Module and published it to UI Client. The submit button in the page is created by directly dragging and dropping Data Controls->updateProductPrice into the page. When I run it, I got the following error message,
Failed to post data to database during "Update": SQL Statement "UPDATE PRODUCTS ProductEO SET COST_PRICE=:1 WHERE PRODUCT_ID=:2".
What I don't understand here is that, in my update method updateProductPrice(), it supposes to update the table Products_Base. But from the error, it appears that it is trying to update the view Products. Can anyone give me a help on what I did wrong here? When I try to debug it, it throws an exception to this line in the method updateProductPrice(),
getDBTransaction().commit();
Here are my codes,
The method which got called in the backing bean
public String cb6_action() {
DCBindingContainer bc = (DCBindingContainer)getBindings();
FacesCtrlAttrsBinding ProductId = (FacesCtrlAttrsBinding)bc.get("ProductId");
FacesCtrlAttrsBinding CostPrice = (FacesCtrlAttrsBinding)bc.get("CostPrice");
JUCtrlActionBinding action =
(JUCtrlActionBinding)bc.findCtrlBinding("updateProductPrice");
DCDataControl dc = action.getDataControl();
ApplicationModule am = (ApplicationModule)dc.getDataProvider();
AppModule service = (AppModule)am;
service.updateProductPrice(new Long(ProductId.toString()), CostPrice.toString());
return null;
public BindingContainer getBindings() {
return BindingContext.getCurrent().getCurrentBindingsEntry();
The update method defined in the Application module (AppModuleImpl.java)
public void updateProductPrice(long productId, String costPrice) {
ProductsBaseEOImpl product = retrieveProductById(productId);
if (product != null) {
try {
product.setCostPrice(new Number(costPrice));

throw ex;
catch (SQLException ex1) {
getDBTransaction().rollback();

EntityDefImpl productDef = ProductsBaseEOImpl.getDefinitionObject();
Key productKey = ProductsBaseEOImpl.createPrimaryKey(new DBSequence(productId));
return (ProductsBaseEOImpl)productDef.findByPrimaryKey(getDBTransaction(),productKey);
