Populating custom foreign key using EIM Import

Hi,
This is regarding a requirement wherein we are trying to populate the custom foreign key in the siebel base table using the EIM import.
The table being used are as .
S_CL_PTCL_LS ----> having vanilla PRDINT_ID foreing key to S_PROD_INT
S_CL_PTCL_LSXM--> Created custom colum x_prod_id as foreing key to S_PROD_INT
using EIM_CL_PTCL_LS ---> Created mapping for the custom foreign key field to resolve the UK cols.(NAME,BU_ID,VENDR_OU_ID)
When we are executing the EIM import PRDINT_ID column foreing key to S_PROD_INT is getting resolved properly; however the custom column x_prod_id as foreing key to S_PROD_INT in S_CL_PTCL_LSXM is not getting resolved.
The data for the resolution is same for both the mappings.
Can some let me know if it is possible to do such import for custom foreign keys/this import is only possible for the vanilla foreign key refrences.
Warm Regards,
Ashutosh

Hi,
I think the custom FK may be a mistake.
PAR_ROW_ID is the foreign key from S_CL_PTCL_LSXM to S_CL_PTCL_LS. You don’t have to create your own FK to do something that Siebel provides OOTB.
Please check that you really need the custom FK. I don't think you do. You should simply join to S_CL_PTCL_LS and then to S_PROD_INT. This is Siebel Tools 101 but I have seen this mistake many times.

ABAP question: define a custom foreign key for a standard field??

Hi,
I want to use the field ADDR1_DATA-STR_SUPPL3 for customer use. I must to define a foreign key against a Ztable (as verification table) for this standard field. Also I must to define a custom search help.
To defining a foreign key for this field, I must be in change mode, so the system ask to me for registering the object. That means this action is a modification. My question is the following: is there any way to do so without SAP standar modification??
For instance, using BDT events...but how?
Thanks in advance.
Regards,
Rosa

Hi Rosa,
Changing SAP Standard dictionary elements is not possible with out changing the same. To change these elements, we dont have any other method apart from SAP standard modification.

Master-Detail Forms (Populating a Foreign Key Automatically)

Master-Detail Form
When inserting a MD Form, the Master ID (e.g. Deptno,the Primary Key) is generated.
How is it possible for this also to be generated in the Detail Form (as the Foreign Key)? The requirement is for the foreign key to be populated automatically.
Any help would be much appreciated.
Thanks.

This item is discussed earlier in this group.
It's solved in version 3.0.8

Use of custom primary key using OSM Activation Tasks

Hi,
We are using OSM Activations Task to interact with ASAP. By default it uses OSM_ORDER_ID.HIST_ID as the corelation key and same as primary key while sending the request to ASAP. Is there a way we can customize this logic so as to send a custom value as the primary key to ASAP.

Navid,
A dropdown list can have only one value, so this is not possible. As a (dirty) work around you could introduce a transient attribute that concatenates the two PK values with for example a dash separating the two values, and base your drop down list on this transient attribute. In the setter method of this attribute you can then extract the two values and call the setters of the two PK attrs.

No join predicate for this foreign key -error while importing the EUL

Hello
Anyone getting this error?I am trying to import 11i business areas into R12 EUL and I am getting this
appreciate any feedback
thanks
kp

Also check metalink note 1082644.1, this problem can be caused when importing into an Apps mode EUL using the EUL owner database account, rather than an eBusiness Suite user account.
We've just had this exact problem, which was caused by something slightly different - an id column that was used in a join had been deleted. Discoverer does not cascade the delete, so the join was still in place, but with a blank formula. Disco reported no errors until an attempt was made to migrate this EUL from one environment to another. Deleting the join fixed the problem.

SQL Developer Data Modeler not drawing foreign key relationships

I'm having trouble with SQL Developer Data Modeler when I importa a DDL that has foreign keys. I export DDL files from SQL developer and choose various subsets of files. Sometimes Data Modeler will not recognize a foreign key if I include say a dozen files in the DDL file, but it will if I include just a few. Worse, even if the foreign key is recognized, sometimes it is not drawn in the Data Modeler and I have no way to make it be drawn. To be specific, I import a file containing the DDL for just two tables -- I see the foreign key! I import a file containing the DDL for a dozen tables including the two, I don't! Is there something I am not understanding about when Data Modeler will draw foreign keys or is the tool simply quite buggy?
Much thanks!

Hi Philip,
I believe I have isolated the problem. Apparently if a field is named "FOREIGN..." it interferes with the tool recognizing foreign keys. Try to import a DDL file containing the following text:
CREATE TABLE "SAMPLE"."SAMPLE_ONE"
(     "ID" VARCHAR2(255 CHAR) NOT NULL ENABLE,
     "VALUE" VARCHAR2(255 CHAR),
     PRIMARY KEY ("ID")
TABLESPACE "SAMPLE_DATA" ;
CREATE TABLE "SAMPLE"."SAMPLE_TWO"
(     "ID" VARCHAR2(255 CHAR) NOT NULL ENABLE,
     "FOREIGN_NAME" VARCHAR2(255 CHAR),
     PRIMARY KEY ("ID")
TABLESPACE "SAMPLE_DATA" ;
CREATE TABLE "SAMPLE"."SAMPLE_THREE"
(     "ID" VARCHAR2(255 CHAR) NOT NULL ENABLE,
     "VALUE" VARCHAR2(255 CHAR) NOT NULL ENABLE,
     "ALT_ID" VARCHAR2(255 CHAR),
     PRIMARY KEY ("ID")
TABLESPACE "SAMPLE_DATA" ENABLE,
     CONSTRAINT "FK6DF8294F2288190D" FOREIGN KEY ("ALT_ID")
     REFERENCES "SAMPLE"."SAMPLE_ONE" ("ID") ENABLE
TABLESPACE "SAMPLE_DATA" ;
You will discover the foreign key is not recognized or drawn! Now, if you swap the location of the third table (put it up first) everything works fine. This is how I discovered the problem, various subsets would work, others would not. To confirm the problem is with the field named "FOREIGN_NAME" use the DDL as specified above but change the first letter in the word "FOREIGN" to something else, and it will recognize the foreign key. Looks like a bug to me (took me about 4 hours to isolate this!). I am using Oracle SQL Developer Data Modeler version 2.0.0 Build 584.

Primary key foreign key remove problem

hi expretrs,
I create 5 tables in ddic.
1. zpr_cmp Company Master
2. zpr_dpt Department Master
3. zpr_dsg Designation Master
4. zpr_emp Employee master.
5. zpr_slm Salary Master.
Foreign key reference in zpr_emp from table 1,2 and 3 created and
table zpr_emp has
cmpcd, Company Code
empcd, Employee Code
dptcd , Department Code
dsgcd Designation Code
as key fields.
I have upload data and create module pool and reports.
My problem that hr person say that we want to change deptcd/dsgcd of employee (zpr_emp) and
dptcd and dsgcd is as key fields in zpr_emp when i change the table zpr_emp and remove
two key fields dptcd/dsgcd and active error display.
I also try with se14 (Activate and Adjust database) but error still.
how can i remove key field from zpr_emp and active table without loss data and without any change of
module pool/reports
pl. help

Diagnosis
ZPR_EMP table is defined as a check table. For reasons of consistency, changes to the primary key of the table are not allowed.
Procedure
If it is essential that you change the primary key, you must delete the relevant foreign keys. Refer to the where-used list to find all tables containing a field that is checked against this table. Delete the foreign keys for these fields.
If necessary, maintain the deleted foreign keys again.
Value table - It's a field in a domain it helps in domain level data validation.
Check table - unlike value table it helps in feild level data validation.
The relational data model contains not only tables, but also relationships between tables. These relationships are defined in the ABAP/4 Dictionary by foreign keys. An important function of foreign keys is to support data integrity in the relational data model. Foreign key fields may assume only those values allowed by the check table, in other words, values occurring in the primary key of the check table.
A foreign key provides a link between two tables, for eg.,T1 and T2 by including a reference in table T1 to the primary key of table T2. For this purpose, Foreign key fields assigned to the primary key fields of T2 are included in T1. Table T1, which is the one being checked, is called a foreign key table, and table T2 is called a check table. The terms dependent (foreign key) table and referenced (check) table are also used.
VALUE TABLE:If the domain of the check field has a value table, this is proposed by the system as check table in the foreign field maintenance. The key fields of the value table are in this case assigned fields of the foreign key table with the same domain. These fields may assume only those values allowed by the value table.
The value range of the domain can be defined by specifying value table.All table fields referring to this domain can then be checked against the corresponding field of this value table.In order the check can be executed, a foreign key must be defined for the value table.

Questions about creating a foreign key on a large table

Hello @ll,
during a database update I lost a foreign key between two tables. The tables are called werteart and werteartarchiv_pt. Because of its size, werteartarchiv_pt is a partitioned table. The missing foreign key was a constraint on table werteartarchiv_pt referencing werteart.
Some statistics about the sizes of the mentioned tables:
werteart 22 MB
werteartarchiv_pt 223 GB
werteartarchiv_pt (Index) 243 GB
I tried to create the foreign key again, but it failed with the following error (Excuses for the german error message):
sqlplus ORA-00604: Fehler auf rekursiver SQL-Ebene 1
sqlplus ORA-01652: Temp-Segment kann nicht um 128 in Tablespace TEMPS00 erweitert
The statement I used:
alter table werteartarchiv_pt
add constraint werteartarchiv_pt_fk1
foreign key (schiene, werteartadresse, merkmale)
references werteart (schiene, werteartadresse, merkmale)
on delete cascade
initially deferred deferrable;
So the problem seems to be, that Oracle needs a lot of temporary tablespace to generate the foreign key and I do not know how much and why.
My questions now are, and hopefully someone is here, who can answer all or a part of it:
1) Why does Oracle need temporary tablespace to create the foreign key? The foreign key uses the same columns like the primary key.
2a) Is it possible to tweak the statement without using the temporary tablespace?
2b) If it is not possible to avoid the usage of the temporary tablespace, is there a formula how to calculate the needed temporary tablespace?
3) Is it possible to modify data in the tables while the foreign key is created or is the whole table locked during the process?
Any help or hint is appreciated.
Regards,
Bjoern

The foreign key uses the same columns like the primary key.Because it's validating the data to ensure the foreign key won't be violated. If you had specified ENABLE NOVALIDATE when creating it then the existing data in the table wouldn't need to be checked and the statement should complete instantly (future data added would be checked by the constraint).

Composite Foreign Keys

How do I map a composite foreign key using toplink?
I can reference a particular record in mytable using the following sql statement:
SELECT * FROM mytable m WHERE m.foreign_id = x AND m.type = y;
Where x represents the primary key in my entity and y represents a second part of the primary key (e.g. "type 1")
How do I accomplish this from within my entity?
Thanks

If you are using JPA, you need to use either an IdClass or EmbeddedId for composite primary keys.
If you are using the TopLink native API you just need to call addPrimaryKeyFieldName() with both column names.

Optional Composite Foreign Key

The tool doesn't seem to be handling this correctly when some of the columns are mandatory and others are nullable. I have a composite foreign key where one column is part of the primary key and the other is not. In the Columns properties of the Table dialog, it shows the column that is part of the primary key as mandatory. But on the diagram, the "red dot" indicator is missing. It also give me an error on the Foreign Keys properties when I click OK or Apply.

No, You cant get a composite keys based on two different primary keys. Reason for this can be like unique index is being used when we create any primary key. When we create a composite primary key, one index is created for the two fields and thus one index store the values for two columns involved in the composite primary key and these values are stored in pairs. So when any foreign key references this composite primary key, it will match the data in pairs as it is stored in the index(unique index).
Now when we say to create a composite foreign key based on two different primary keys , we are taking into account two indexes for two different fields. So there is no pairing in these two indexes. So when we will create foreign key using this, it will not get a pair of values or we can say oracle cant get us consistent pair of values from two indexes. So maintaining integrity will not be possible.
Yes you can create two foreign keys on one column which can refer two different primary keys.

Foreign key fields not getting populated in datacontrol palette for EJB app

Hi,
I am quite new to ADF and EJB.I developed a jdeveloper application with JSF and EJB tiers.(I am using jdeveloper 10.1.3.5)
For database the default HR database is used.I created the entities for the EMPLOYEES and DEPARTMENTS table.
I also created a session bean and a data control for the session bean.
I am having a JSF page that receives all the details of a new Employee and insert into database (i.e persistEntity)
But the Employees constructor from the Data control palette is not populating the MANAGERID and DEPARTMENTID fields which are
the foreign key constraints for the EMPLOYEES table and hence while trying to persist the entity
with the auto populated fields an error message is thrown.
If I used ADF BC instead of EJB then i could populate all the fields including MANAGERID and DEPARTMENTID.
Is it possible to have two text fields for Manager and Department in the jsf to insert the Employee details with EJB as the Model?.
If possible how do I bind the values of these fields to the Employees entity object in EJB.
Kindly need your insights on this.
Thanks,
Guna.

Hi,
How are you using MANAGER_ID and DEPARTMENT_ID fields, are they exposed as Long (or some other numeric type), or did you map them on the entity, something like this
@ManyToOne
private Employee manager; // this by default uses the column named MANAGER_ID
@ManyToOne
private Department department; // this by default uses the column named DEPARTMENT_ID
.... If you mapped them (which is the right way), when you create an employee you should set these attributes before persisting the entity, by using employee.setManager(manager) and employee.setDepartment(department). Then, the foreign keys get populated automatically by your persistence provider (Toplink).
If you are using data controls, it is a little different process to set the department and manager, but you should take a look at this tutorial http://www.oracle.com/technology/obe/obe11jdev/ps1/ejb/ejb.html , it will hopefully answer a lot of your questions.

Corrupt dump file, foreign keys not generated on import

Hi,
In our refresh job, we get the dump file from production and use it to refresh the schema in UAT.
The dump file thus we got from production seems to be corrupt - as its giving error - "IMP-00008: unrecognized statement in the export file: "
But the error we are getting is for few users, while other users are being imported fine. For the users which got imported fine, the foreign keys are missing !!!
There is no "error" in the import log regarding the foreign keys.
We tried to get the indexfile and it has all "Create Table" statements, along with indexes, primary key, check constraints etc .... only the FOREIGN KEYS are missing.
How can this be explained ?
With Regards,
Shalini.

Some suggestions:
1. Check Note:111384.1 if you are trying to import from the tape directly.
2. You can set a bigger buffer size and check whether the error reappears.
3. If you are trying to perform a full import and the error always seemed to be happening when it tried to import the 56th user, you set init.ora parameter license_max_users (which is set to 55) to a bigger value.
These are apart from the main reason for this error, i.e., corrupted export file or Import internal bug.
