Oracle SCM integration

Hi all,
With FORMS 6i we were using PVCS versioning tool.
But now, in some projects we are using FORMS 10g. Since there is no integration between FORMS 10g and PVCS, we are looking for other version control tools.
Is there anybody using a version control tool other than Oracle SCM in Forms 10g?
For SQL Development we use SQL Navigator. And it seems that SQL Navigator doesn't support Oracle SCM. We don't want to use two different version control tools in Forms 10g (for fmb files) and SQL Development tool(for procedures, functions...).
Do anybody know any sql development tool(like SQL Navigator etc.)
that supports Oracle SCM version control?

Recently, a Statement of Direction was published for Oracle SCM that indicated that it was being de-supported.
My concern is that Oracle SCM provided the ability to do Diffs between two versions of the same form (the fmb), which is not really possible in any other tool that I know of. It would seem that comparing two binary files in a meaningful way would be proprietary to the two files and how they were constructed.
It would not be cool to use Oracle SCM for Forms and Reports but then have to use another Source Control tool for other files.
Does Oracle recommend any other tool for this purpose?

  • Oracle SCM Future?

    Given the fact that Jdev 10.1.3 was released for developer preview with CVS as the default SCM tool and given my not so favourite experience when it comes to the integration between Jdev and Oracle SCM it would be nice to get some clarity regarding future product directions from Oracle regarding the integration between Jdev and Oracle SCM.
    As I see it there are 2 possibilities:
    1. Oracle SCM is considered mature enough and the integration of oracle SCM with JDev is satisfactory to Oracle. Oracle SCM is used mostly by larger enterprise JDev developers which are the smaller percentage of the total developer community. As a result, it is not extremely important to gain market share with these developers so Oracle SCM was not released as part of this JDev developer preview. (I somewhat tend not to favour this possibility).
    2. CVS is the prefered route for SCM purposes even as far as Oracle is concerened. As a result, it was released as the default SCM tool with the JDev developer preview.
    In addition, Oracle is trying the capture the open source Java development market in which CVS is the de facto standard hence the CVS decision.
    In other words what I am really asking is: Should we start making plans to move to CVS or should we stick it out with Oracle SCM since it is planned to stay around for the foreseeable future? This question is important particularly in light of the fact that our Java code base is relatively small at the moment but is expected to grow substatially in the next couple of years which would potentially make any change to the SCM tool a complex issue.
    Any response from Oracle would be appreciated.
    (The opinions and speculations in this post are mine and do not represent anybody else's views)

    Today Oracle has no SCM strategy.
    Within JDeveloper by exapmle, CVS, SUBVERSION or third party tools are recommended.
    We as IKAN focus on Oracle customers that look for alternatives for Designer modeling and SCM.
    CWD4ALL (Designer modeling) is available as a JDeveloper extension. (www.cwd4all.com)
    SCM4ALL complements CVS and SUBVERSION and offers build, deploy, approval and lifecycle mgt. (www.scm4all.com).
    You can download both products for a one month free full trail.
    We are in the process of integration our SCM4ALL product, through CVS or SUBVERSION with the Oracle Development Suite (Forms, reports, JDeveloper,..), the Oracle database and Application server.
    We want to offer Oracle a full SCM solution that can trully compete with IBM's RAD and Clearcase family
    When interested, just let us know

  • Oracle Data Integrator 11.1.1.5 Work Schema - List of Privileges

    Hi All,
    Oracle Data Integrator 11.1.1.5.
    Extracting data from Oracle DB for Oracle EBS 12.1.3.
    Customer created read-only schema (XXAPPS) to extract the data from EBS.
    For ODI Work schema we now created one schema 'XBOL_ODI_TEMP' on the source DB. We are now looking for appropriate privileges that needs to be granted to XXAPPS and 'XBOL_ODI_TEMP' so that we won’t face the any error messageS related to permissions when we run ODI scenario?
    We are now facing the error message : ODI-1227: Task SrcSet0 (Loading) fails on the source ORACLE connection VTB_ORACLE_EBS_1213.
    Caused By: java.sql.SQLSyntaxErrorException: ORA-00942: table or view does not exist.
    Similar previliges can be granted to the work schema on target.
    Venkat

    i think it would be fine with only one schema(user) created at the source system which has got read access on the tables of the EBS DB. Now to resolve this error, assuming XXAPPS user is the one used,
    in the topology --> data server(for EBS) --> physical schema the EBS schema name could be selected for Schema and XXAPPS as the work schema(for all ODI work related objects e.g. CDC)
    Also, in the Data server the user XXAPPS needs to be used which has read access to EBS tables.
    Now everytime ODI generates a query it will access a table lets say DUMMY as ,<EBS Schema>.DUMMY thus the reference is made.
    Alternatively, you can create synonyms for EBS tables in XXAPPS schema.

  • Generic Java for Oracle Data Integrator 10g (10.1.3.5.0)

    Hi,
    How can I install the Oracle Data Integrator Client in my MacBook. So the generic version should be the right one.
    But there are versions for windows, linux, solaris, HPUX and AIX.. but no generic java version.
    The version 10.1.3.4.0 has an generic version.
    How can I fix this issue, since I tried the linux version but doesn't install.
    Thanks.

    Hi,
    Install the 10.1.3.4 and make an "manual install" after that. It's means copy the oracledi directory over the old oracledi directory.
    There is detailed instruction on install manual...
    Did you already tried this?

  • "Oracle Data Integrator" with "Total Recall"

    Hi all,
    We are planning to use Oracle Data Integrator 11g for performing ELT in Oracle 11g database. We are also planning to enable the "total recall" (flashback) technology and house all our tables on it.
    Question I have in my mind right now is, will ODI and Total Recall work well together?
    Background
    Say we have an interface defined with the target data store defined on a tablespace with flashback enabled. Say there are 100 rows in the source, of which 10 rows violated the check constraint . The "bad" data, violating the constraint, will be moved to the E$ table while the rest of the 90 rows are loaded into the target.
    Questions*
    1) If our business rule dictates zero tolerance for errors and a ROLLBACK is issued, what will happen to the data in the E$ table?
    2) Say we have committed* the 90 rows and want to use a flashback transaction query to undo the changes, how will it affect the E$ table?
    3) Will the rows be deleted from the E$ table also along with rolling back of the changes in the target?
    4) If the errors in E$ are recycled and this interface is restarted after the rollback is performed, will the I$ table contain 110 rows i.e. source data + data from E$?
    5) How does ODI handle recycling / reprocessing of the violations in E$ table?
    Please advice.
    Thank you.
    CC

    1.) The data in E$ will remain there
    2.) The data in E$ will remain there
    3.) The data in E$ will remain there
    4.) 90 rows. The recycled will still error out
    5.) To me the recycling feature is pretty lame. You need to fix the errors in the E$ table and then recycle will load the data.

  • Improvements in Oracle SCM Check Out and Check In mechanism (better Oracle

    Oracle SCM - the Software Configuration Manager – provides the backend source code control services for Oracle Designer. It offers among other things functionality for Version Control: Check In, Check Out, Branching and Merging and it records Check In/Out notes, Version Labels and ‘version events’. In comparison with several other tools for version control, it has a few oddities or lacks some functionality that might have been very handy. It turns out that most of that functionality can be created fairly easy, with additional triggers on the Oracle SCM tables. I have demonstrated in a previous post how two of these additional pieces of functionality can be implemented: Building Check In protection into Oracle Designer/Oracle SCM - Check In only by the user that did the Check Out (http://technology.amis.nl/blog/index.php?p=784). I intend to write further articles to demonstrate implementations of all others enhancements listed in this post: http://technology.amis.nl/blog/index.php?p=799.
    Please let me know - through comments on that Blog article - if you are interested in any of the mentioned enhancements.
    best regards,
    Lucas

    The first query points to many threads where a similar question has been asked. You can change the query search words to get more hits.
    If you are looking specifically for OM, it will also help if you network with some non-IT guys to understand how, in general, Order Management is used in various industries. You can talk to Order Entry clerks to understand order taking process (such as customer calls, they create a quote, customer approves, quote is turned into order), you can talk to Warehouse personnel to understand order shipping process (Such as order ship date nears, they run a report to find which orders need to ship in the next x days, they generate pick tickets to get material, they generate packing slips, generate invoices, shipping notices etc.)
    Talk to some AR folks to understand credit processes and invoice /collection processes.
    These folks don't have to use Oracle. What you are looking for a generic understanding of how the business /processes work.

  • ** Regarding Oracle Data Integrator Companion 11gR1(11.1.1.7.0)

    Hi Experts,
    I would like to Know regarding..
    Oracle Data Integrator Companion 11gR1 (11.1.1.7.0)
    Includes: Oracle Data Integrator Application Adapters for Hadoop, Oracle Applications, SAP ERP and BW (Hadoop is Newly added when compared with the older versions)
    Which i found in the oracle downloads link and so i want to know the below points
    1) What is the use of Oracle Data Integrator Companion 11gR1 (11.1.1.7.0)
    2) if it is something like an additional adapter tool to be installed to access, where and how we need to install.
    I would like to get the complete details and usage of this particular Oracle Data Integrator Companion 11gR1 (11.1.1.7.0).
    Request you to kindly guide me..
    Awaiting your inputs.
    Many Thanks,
    Pavan Kumar

    Hi Pavan,
    Oracle Data Integrator Companion 11gR1 (11.1.1.7.0) contains additional adapters for use with Hadoop, SAP etc which does not come with normal installation. However, you will need license for industry use of these adapters. This is especially good for a developer. However for server installs you must use one of the normal installers which additionally comes with Java EE agent capabilities which may not be the case with Companion.
    Speaking of Installation procedure, this works with a simple extraction of the zip file and does not come with an installer.
    Additionally, it comes with ODI Demo Environment with a local HSQL repository which can be used for training and learning purposes.
    Functionally, for a developer there is no difference between normal and companion install.

    Rickson Lewis

  • Oracle Data Integrator - Real Time Integration

    Hi,
    I want to know that, is there any possibility of integrating data in real-time using Oracle Data Integrator?
    If yes, does it affect the OLTP system performance? (Could it read from db logs,etc..)
    Thanks..

    Using ODI with Logminer-based CDC will affect performance on the source system more than using Oracle Goldengate, let me explain why:
    When using the ODI Logminer-based Journalisation the Logminer functionality will move the primary-key of the affected row into the journal table. When you are then ready to move the changed data, running an interface to move the data reads the Journal-view, which joins the journal table (primary keys) to the source data (and dealing with deleted rows), optimising out duplicate rows in order to bring across the then-current state of the data, which can then be loaded into the target system, on completion, the moved rows can be removed from the journal table. The data will appear in the journal table as soon as Logminer puts it there, which may be a lag of up to two minutes using asynchronous setting, whereas Synchronous Logminer applies "system triggers to the table, with the consequent overhead.
    With Oracle Goldengate, the comitted transactions are read from the log as soon as the log-writer puts the commit into the log. All the data is picked up from the log, at that point. It is then written to the trail-file system of Oracle Goldengate which can be propogated to multiple other systems potentially with sub-second latency, and minimal impact on the source system due to the efficient reading and writing mechanisms. One other consequence of using Oracle Goldengate is that you get every change of the data, not the optimised then-current state of the data when moved.
    Hope this explanation helps.

    Workflow simple?Hi Geoff,
    Whoah, that’s a lot of questions, this should probably be on another thread. By far, this in not a definitive review. (only personal experiences).
    But here goes…
    Assuming you’re using WCI 10.3.0\ALUI 6.5.x:
    What has your experience with UCM been like?
    - Good. You should take UCM training to get the full breadth of what it offers.
    - UCM Install: Pretty simple. If you know where to look.
    - UCM is a Site Manager\builder and THEN some! CPS Portlet Integration covers a small set use cases of its full potential. UCM appears to be a stand alone product.
    - CPS Portlet integration. Not tightly integrated… Currently, you will have to manually add the portal users in the USERS ADMIN utility in the UCM installation. CPS Portlets EAR file is deployed on the OC4J Container/frameworks, which makes it a "Producer". ALUI WSRP Piece is the "Consumer" of the CPS Portlets into the Portal. Make sure you have installed ALUI WSRP correctly. Suggest learning about “WSDL”s. Currently, ALUI WSRP only supports version 1.0 WSDL’s. Only use the version CPS Portlet 1.0 WSDL’s, it offers you both 1.0 and 2.0.
    - What is OC4J Container? ‘http://www.oracle.com/technology/tech/java/oc4j/1013/index.html’ Just install the oc4j frameworks… the full installation appears to be unnecessary.
    Are the portlets good? Comparable to publisher in functionality?
    - The CPS Portlet Suite only represents Administration Portlets for UCM. There is no single .PTE file for CPS Integration. Per Documentation, "3.2.2 CPS Consumption Steps". You have to manage your admin objects.
    - There are no fancy wizards that will make your portlets, YET. Hopefully, this will be available in the future. Web service and portlet creation must be done manually. You must manually create your own web services to point at off site content.
    How is the ease of use for non-technical content managers?
    - Well, once it is set up and you’re trained on UCM. Sure it's snap.
    Workflow simple?
    - Sorry, I haven't worked with this functionality.
    Comments: Publisher really pampers you with all its portlet wizards. Look for them in WCI 11G/above.
    Hope this helps.
    Cheers!!!
