Network Data Modeler Source

I have been working on building PL/SQL to extract Network models from well formed road shape files. I have successfully built a rather large road network and would like to add some features to Oracle's Network Data Model Editor to assist with final editing and add the pl/sql extraction module. Does anyone know if Oracle has released the source for this or if they are planning to?
Thanks

Path direction in Oracle spatial network data model

Hi all,
can any one help me how to implement path direction using oracle network data Model?
We are using Oracle Spatial database. there is one feature called network constraint in Network data Model. but how to implement path direction of my Network ? Please help me any one

The path direction in a Spatial network is enabled at creation time when calling the create network procedure such as SDO_NET.CREATE_LOGICAL_NETWORK. If you describe the Create procedure you're using you should see a IS_DIRECTED argument, which when set to TRUE will enable path direction. Then just ensure that your links are created in the right direction -specifying correct orientation for start node and end node.
Cheers,
Stuart.

How to use NetworkConstraint in Network Data Model?

e.g. In a transportation application, you may drive from Node1 to Node2 along Link12, and from Node2 to Node4 along Link24, but you can not 'turn-left' from Link12 to Link24, how to restrict this in Oracle Spatial Network Data Model?
Is there any examples?
Thanks a lot.

The only way I know to do it, is to have a more complex node model. Instead of a simple node joining links 12 and 24, you need several at that point that link the streets. For example, with a standard four-way intersection, each end of the streets would have a node (warning CRUDE drawing):
..A
B.+.C
..D
Links between those nodes could have directional restrictions, or not even exist at all between any two. So, you could set it up such that From D to A and B to C you can go either way. For right turns, D to C, C to A, A to B, and B to D are directional. For left turns, C to D, A to C, and B to A are directional, with no D to B link existing.
Hope that makes sense.

Network data model for public transport

Hi,
I've been playing with Gis for the last 10 years and now I am enrolled in a project to find best way to go from one point to another in Barcelona (Spain) locations, using the public transport network.
The goal is to get a route, from one address to another (both given as inputs), formed by:
-     a 1st piece of path walking to the bus stop
-     a 2nd piece of path involving the bus used to go from one bus stop to another
-     optional 3rd piece of path with a second bus
-     the last piece of path to walk from the destination bus stop to the destination address.
This is a nice problem to resolve with a quite good looking software like the Oracle NDM. I know the big problem will be to put all the data in the right format.
But the question I’d like to share with you would be to approve or improve the algorithm I am thinking to resolve this:
STRUCTURE
Network Data Model NDM_1: creation of a SDO spatial network with all the streets and cross-roads to walk through
Other NDM_2 to store the bus stops with the bus-route-linking information.
     The reason to put them separately is for easily maintenance (a priori).
     [A second approach perhaps would be to put the bus stops as nodes of NDM_1 also]
ALGORITHM
1. Look for bus-stops near the geolocated origin address. (say listing BS_ORIG_list)
2. Look for bus-stops near the geolocated destination address. (say listing BS_DEST_list)
3. Search through NDM_2 for possible correspondences between BS_ORIG_list and BS_DEST_list through single bus line or by two different bus lines applying a network constraint.
(if not correspondence found or if more than 2 bus lines needed, abort by app requirement)
4. Find the walking paths needed to complete the various routes found in step 3 to get from address origin to destination
5. Order the results by time spent or by meters to walk.
Sure there might be improvements to this solution and also other ways to face such a common problem.
Thanks in advance,
David Foix

Hi Andrejus,
Thanks for answering.
I read through your thread already...
I understand and agree it would be a multimodal network. But what would that mean in the time of storing the data and asking for the route?
But I am still doubting the way to query for the resulting route. Having two adresses to join, would there be a nice function or procedure to ask for the route giving preference to walk the minimum meters and use preferently the bus network?
Or should I rely on the first algorithm I proposed? I thought there would be a nicer solution.
In your case, "road transport, railway transport, naval transport and air transport" I understand it would be a case to use different networks as they don't share spatial geometry, only some nodes..isn't it? Did you have the need to join all of them to find route solution giving preference to one of them?

David

Oracle network data modele on mapviewer

bonjour , goodmorning
English:
I have an application of oracle network data modele witch contains node , link , plink and path tables. and i like to view this whith mapviewer application on web page, i was setup mapviewer 10.1 with OC4J and i saw the mvdemo without errors ... please get me the steps to do for visualizing my network.
Français:
j'ai mon propre réseau oracle network data modele et je voudrais le visualiser avec mapviewer sur une page web. le réseau contient les quatres tables necéssaire et pas de probleme dans ce coté. j'ai bien installer mapviewer avec le serveur OC4j et j'ai visualiser l'exemple mvdemo sans aucun probleme... SVP indiquez moi les etapes a suivre afin de visualiser mon reseau.

First may I recommend that you use the latest MapViewer quick start kit, which is 11g R1.
On your mapviewer web site, if you click the "Demos" tab, there is a link to a simple Network demo page. Have you tried using that? You should populate it with your own network data (network name et al). Let us know if you need more information on how to make this demo work with your data.
thanks

Data Modeler - Source/Target Name

I have imported a logical model from Oracle Designer and need to show the "source/target" names. I could do this easily in version 2 of the Data Modeler through the Logical Model , "Show Source/Target Name" option of the Diagram pane (from Tools | General Options). The documentation for version 3 indicates that I should still be able to do the same thing (except Tools | Preferences), but I lack the "Show Source/Target Name" option in my version 3.0.0.665 of the Data Modeler. Is this a bug, or am I looking in the wrong place in this new version?

Problem reading a network (Network Data Model)

Hello,
I'm trying to create a network for routing. I can create and write this network fine but can't read it.
Currently I'm using the PL/SQL API but have also tryed the Java API (both present the same problem).
The following PL/SQL gives the below error:

XML Parse issues when using Network Data Model LOD with Springframework 3

Hello,
I am having issues with using using NDM in conjuction with Spring 3. The problem is that there is a dependency on the ConfigManager class in that it has to use Oracle's xml parser from xmlparserv2.jar, and this parser seems to have a history of problems with parsing Spring schemas.
My setup is as follows:
Spring Version: 3.0.1
Oracle: 11GR2 and corresponding spatial libraries
Note that when using the xerces parser, there is no issue here. It only while using Oracle's specific parser which appears to be hard-coded into the ConfigManager. Spring fortunately offers a workaround, where I can force it to use a specific parser when loading the spring configuration as follows:
-Djavax.xml.parsers.DocumentBuilderFactory=com.sun.org.apache.xerces.internal.jaxp.DocumentBuilderFactoryImpl But this is an extra deployment task we'd rather not have. Note that this issue has been brought up before in relation to OC4J. See the following link:
How to change the defaut xmlparser on OC4J Standalone 10.1.3.4 for Spring 3
My question is, is there any other way to configure LOD where it won't have the dependency on the oracle parser?
Also, fyi, here is the exception that is occurring as well as the header for my spring file.

I ran into this exact issue while trying to get hibernate and spring working with an oracle XMLType column, and found a better solution than to use JVM arguments as you mentioned.
Why is it happening?
The xmlparserv2.jar uses the JAR Services API (Service Provider Mechanism) to change the default javax.xml classes used for the SAXParserFactory, DocumentBuilderFactory and TransformerFactory.
How did it happen?
The javax.xml.parsers.FactoryFinder looks for custom implementations by checking for, in this order, environment variables, %JAVA_HOME%/lib/jaxp.properties, then for config files under META-INF/services on the classpath, before using the default implementations included with the JDK (com.sun.org.*).
Inside xmlparserv2.jar exists a META-INF/services directory, which the javax.xml.parsers.FactoryFinder class picks up and uses:
META-INF/services/javax.xml.parsers.DocumentBuilderFactory (which defines oracle.xml.jaxp.JXDocumentBuilderFactory as the default)
META-INF/services/javax.xml.parsers.SAXParserFactory (which defines oracle.xml.jaxp.JXSAXParserFactory as the default)
META-INF/services/javax.xml.transform.TransformerFactory (which defines oracle.xml.jaxp.JXSAXTransformerFactory as the default)
Solution?
Switch all 3 back, otherwise you'll see weird errors. javax.xml.parsers.* fix the visible errors, while the javax.xml.transform.* fixes more subtle XML parsing (in my case, with apache commons configuration reading/writing).
QUICK SOLUTION to solve the application server startup errors:
JVM Arguments (not great)
To override the changes made by xmlparserv2.jar, add the following JVM properties to your application server startup arguments. The java.xml.parsers.FactoryFinder logic will check environment variables first.
-Djavax.xml.parsers.SAXParserFactory=com.sun.org.apache.xerces.internal.jaxp.SAXParserFactoryImpl -Djavax.xml.parsers.DocumentBuilderFactory=com.sun.org.apache.xerces.internal.jaxp.DocumentBuilderFactoryImpl -Djavax.xml.transform.TransformerFactory=com.sun.org.apache.xalan.internal.xsltc.trax.TransformerFactoryImpl
However, if you run test cases using @RunWith(SpringJUnit4ClassRunner.class) or similar, you will still experience the error.
BETTER SOLUTION to the application server startup errors AND test case errors:
Option 1: Use JVM arguments for the app server and @BeforeClass statements for your test cases.
System.setProperty("javax.xml.parsers.DocumentBuilderFactory","com.sun.org.apache.xerces.internal.jaxp.DocumentBuilderFactoryImpl");
System.setProperty("javax.xml.parsers.SAXParserFactory","com.sun.org.apache.xerces.internal.jaxp.SAXParserFactoryImpl");
System.setProperty("javax.xml.transform.TransformerFactory","com.sun.org.apache.xalan.internal.xsltc.trax.TransformerFactoryImpl");
If you have a lot of test cases, this becomes painful.
Option 2: Create your own Service Provider definition files in the compile/runtime classpath for your project, which will override those included in xmlparserv2.jar.
In a maven spring project, override the xmlparserv2.jar settings by creating the following files in the %PROJECT_HOME%/src/main/resources directory:
%PROJECT_HOME%/src/main/resources/META-INF/services/javax.xml.parsers.DocumentBuilderFactory (which defines com.sun.org.apache.xerces.internal.jaxp.DocumentBuilderFactoryImpl as the default)
%PROJECT_HOME%/src/main/resources/META-INF/services/javax.xml.parsers.SAXParserFactory (which defines com.sun.org.apache.xerces.internal.jaxp.SAXParserFactoryImpl as the default)
%PROJECT_HOME%/src/main/resources/META-INF/services/javax.xml.transform.TransformerFactory (which defines com.sun.org.apache.xalan.internal.xsltc.trax.TransformerFactoryImpl as the default)
These files are referenced by both the application server (no JVM arguments required), and solves any unit test issues without requiring any code changes.
This is a snippet of my longer solution for how to get hibernate and spring to work with an oracle XMLType column, found on stackoverflow.

PowerPivot data model as Source on Cloud

Hi All,
We have an excel workbook with a heavy powerpivot model. Can we use any Cloud services to segregate the powerpivot model and use it as a data source?
We have already accessed the PowerPivot Gallery on Sharepoint(On-Premise) and Tabular Cube solutions but both of them are On-Premise solutions and since we need a Cloud based solution; we have rejected both of them.
Also, regarding Cloud solution(if there's any), will it answer the following problem statements:-
Will it be possible to drive a light weight excel report by Powerpivot data model?
On Premise database based report refresh (using gateway)?
PowerPivot /Calculated Measures – will they be visible through data model?
Regards,
Amit

This is not currently possible, but I understand that it is in the works.

Problem connecting PowerPivot's (Office 2013) Data Model deployed on SharePoint 2013 to data source.

Hello:
Our configurations is as follow : SharePoint 2013 is on Server A; SQL Server Analysis server (SQL 2014) is on DB Server B;
SharePoint databases (sp_ ...) and our Data Mart (SQL 2014) are on server B. All servers runs Windows 2012 OS.
On my desktop I built a simple Excel 2013 workbook with PowerPivot Data Model that imported several tables from our Data Mart (server B above). Then created a Power View report. Locally everything works fine.
But when I uploaded this workbook to our SharePoint PowerPivot gallery and was trying to refresh data, I got the connection error: It’s very long but the ErrorCode is “rsCannotRetriveModel”. The end of the error message is:

Hi Jeff,
Firstly, I need to confirm whether you are refreshing Data connection in browser, since Data Refresh is not supported in Office Web Apps. Please refer more information in this article:
http://blogs.technet.com/b/excel_services__powerpivot_for_sharepoint_support_blog/archive/2013/01/31/powerpivot-for-sharepoint-browser-refresh-fails-data-refresh-not-supported-in-office-web-apps.aspx
From the error "Call to Excel Services returned an error", please verify the location of the
data source, for example an Excel workbook, is registered as a trusted location with Excel Services:
https://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/jj219699(v=office.15).aspx
Since you are using unattended account for Excel Services to connect from SP to databases, I wonder if the issue occurs to unattended referesh, if so, please refer to:

Xml as data source in Data Model

Hi All,
For testing, I am using sales.xml as a data source for creating the Data Model. There is a region field which I want to filter using the parameter. I have created the parameter, I am not able to use this parameter to filter the xml values. Is there a way to filter the xml output according to the parameter in BI publisher 11g while creating the data model
Thanks,

Data Modeler in a network

At one of my projects there's a question about what is the best to deploy Data Modeler in a network. They prefer to use it in a Citrix area.
Two very important topics of what they are planning to do in Data Modeler:
Drawing ERD diagrams.
It should be possible to edit a diagram by more than one user on different workstations.
Use of transformation scripts.
Scripts can be used by more than one user on differect workstations.
I found out the content of this scripts is stored in dr_custom_scripts.xml. At this moment it seems we can't save the scripts while running DM on Citrix.
Does anyone have any experience with this issues?

I have used SVN (Subversion) when there was a need for multiple users of the same design. Each can check out the model to their workstation and save changes to SVN. When one user saves a change, those changes are then visible to the other users as inbound changes. If one user makes changes to something another user also changed, they will get a conflict resolution dialog to resolve the issue. This seems a better solution than trying to share a single model folder via Citrix.
Files such as defaultdomains.xml and dr_custom_scripts.xml can also be saved and shared via SVN. I think there may be another discussion on how to do this on the forum already (I think I asked about it a year or so ago).

11g bi publisher data model generic columns names for obiee data source?

I'm just trying to figure out if this is a bug, expected behavior or installation problem. When I select an Oracle BI Analysis to add to the data model diagram the column names are not copied over. Instead they are all renamed as Column0-ColumnNN.
Thanks
