Queries.Workbook Naming Standards

Hello,
If we any restrictions on how you are allowed to name queries and workbooks in Bex. Like they should start with xxxx_xxx etc. Where can I find these settings in BW/Bex?
My manager asked me to find out details. I'd appreciate if some one can help me ASAP.
Thanks

Usually, custom query names should start with "Z", followed by the name of InfoProvider and then name of query. Example, cube is ZXYZ. your query could be names something like:
ZXYZ_Q_1_INCOMESTATEMENT
Of course, clients can have their preferences too.
Any Business Content object's name would start with "0"
You can begin a name with any letter, but generally Z is used.
I for queries, you can up to 30 characters.
For workbooks, technical names are generated automatically, you just give the descriptions.
Hope it helps,
Farhan

  • Naming standards for BW queries

    where could i get the naming standards for BW queries? Can somebody email me at singhpra(at)yahoo.com. thank you.

    Hi Prakash,
    in our company we use the following convention:
    <Project_ID>_<CUBE>_Q<authorization>N
    The Project ID is a 2-digit code for the project, the cube consists of 5 digits. After the Q there's one letter for special authorization purposes, N is a 2-digit-number starting at 01.
    Example: P1_STMX1_QA01
    This works fine for all our cases.
    Greetings,

  • Naming standards for reports in Business Objects?

    Dear colleagues,
    I am about to start development of universes, queries and reports in Business Object for a client. Does anyone of you have any tips on naming standards for the reports? The source system that the dataware house is based on is a fund system. Often the name can be some letters and some numbers. Is there any logic behind this that I can follow?
    I will sign points!
    Kind regards
    Silje

    Hi Silje,
    Naming convetions should really tie in with your own processes. So it hard to say there is one for all.
    I generally create a report library. This is a simple list in Excel of the reports. It will contain the following
    Report Id: A number that is unique to each report, e.g. 1000
    Report Name: A short descriptive name, Monthly_Returns
    Report Location: The folder path to the report
    Report Description: A full descriptive name
    Report Contact: The person to contact about the report, developer or support person
    Report Owner: Business Owner of the report
    In WebI I would then call the report 1000_Monthly_Returns. I generally use the folder name to point to the area, so in the case of funds this report would be in the Funds folder.
    Hope this helps

  • Can BEX queries / workbooks directly called from the EP

    Hi,
    We are trying to call queries / workbooks directly from the portal using SAP connector / RFC's.
    Thanks.

    Here is my code in a file I used as a sample. I put the bee in a symbol named world and it works correctly:
    EC.SVG.accessSVG(sym.getSymbol('world').$('bees')).done(

                        // add event listener
                        svgDocument.addEventListener("select", function(event) {

                        sym.setVariable("selectedPart", event.target);
                        // show the id of the selected part in the textfield
                        sym.$("selectedPartTxt").html( event.target.id );
    Let me know if this helps. I can post the sample if you want.

  • How to set naming standards for SQL Developer

    I am using SQL Developer version 3.0.04.
    In the newly integrated and very useful Data Modeler, we can set preferences for the naming standards to be applied when creating logical and relational model objects ( primary keys, foreign keys, et cetera). I would like to know if there is a way to set naming standards for the relational objects we create in SQL Developer on existing tables ( ( primary keys, foreign keys, et cetera).
    Any help in setting such preferences would be appreciated.

    Hi,
    If you want to set up a diagram for an existing database, you can use File/Data Modeler/Import/Data Dictionary to import its definitions.
    Alternatively you can open a Data Modeler Browser (using View/Data Modeler/Browser), expand the node for Design "Untitled_1",
    expand the node for Relational Models, and select Show from the Right-click drop-down menu for "Relational_1" to create a Relational Model diagram.
    You can then drag Tables from SQL Developer's Connections tree onto the diagram.
    Once you have a Relational Model you can reverse engineer it to an Entity-Relationship model using the << button in the button bar
    (or by selecting "Engineer to Logical Model" from the drop-down menu for the Relational Model).
    Note that there is now a separate forum for SQL Developer Data Modeler topics: SQL Developer Data Modeler

  • Problem with Applying Naming Standards to Keys and Constraints

    Hi
    I have an issue, and not sure where to go. I have 3 relational models in 1 design. I set up my foreign key template. I applied it to the first relational model, and it worked like a charm. When I bring up the "Apply Naming Standards" window for the second model and click on OK, nothing happens. The window just stays there and the OK button turns gray. I checked the log, but no messages are written. I just have to click on cancel to close the window. Has anyone got any suggestions on what to do? I even went back in and changed a table name to make sure that a foreign key name should change, and still nothing happens.

    Hi Joep,
    thanks for design. I logged bug for that problem - some FK columns keep information about non existent foreign keys.
    Here is a transformation script you can run for relational model:
    columns = model.getColumnSet().toArray();
    for (var t = 0; t<columns.length;t++){
    column = columns[t];
    nodes = column.getRefColAndAssocIDs().toArray();
    for (var i = 0;i<nodes.length;i++){
       node = nodes;
    if(node.fkAssocId!=null){
    fk = column.getDesign().getDesignObject(node.fkAssocId);
    if(fk==null){
    column.removeFKAssociation(node.fkAssocId);
    column.setDirty(true);
    And of course you have to save design - it's better to use "save as".

  • Naming Standards: What are you using?

    I'd like to hear what different organizations are using for naming standards to manage their XI environment.
    When you have a new interface or need to call up an existing interface, how do you know where to find them?  
    Do you break out your interfaces by Sender SC, XI SC and receiver SC?
    How do you organize namespaces?

    Hi Mark,
        Well, The name space itself it means that it used for unique identifier.Normally in realtime business cases lot  of process would be involved..when you are developing the interface and when you start up with namespace..The name space should give you the what exactly the scenario..for which type of scenarios..
      Let me take an example suppose if u are implementing the all sales order scenario you can probably implement a name space such that it should reflect the all sales order related objects.
      <b>Ex: http://xyzcompany.com./salesorders</b>
      The above namespace tell you that the vendor is xyzcompany and the corresponding objects of slaes orders.
    Hope I am clear.
    Thanks and Regards,
    Chandu.

  • DataModeler v3.3.0 - Naming standards template for surrogate keys creation

    I'm using DM 3.3.0.734 and in the logical model we now can define in the entity properties to "Create Surrogate Key".
    When we use Engineer to relational model, for each entity is automatically created a new column using the naming template {entity}_ID as NUMERIC (without precision) and is defined as primary key.
    My questions are:
    Is possible to define a different naming standard for surrogate key creation?. We define id_{entiry}
    Is possible to set the precision of NUMERIC surrogate key?
    If we define entity's column as Primary UID, these columns are included in an unique constraint, but are using the naming standards for PK.
    As consequence are created the following:
    Unique constraint name: entity_PK
    Primary key(surrogate)name: entity_PKv1
    There is any way to define naming standards like "{entity}_UID" for unique constraints, or even, "{entity}_SK" for surrogate primary key name?
    Can anyone help with some of these topics?
    Regards,
    Ariel.

    Hi Ariel,
    Naming standards template for surrogate keys creation I logged enhancement request for that.
    How to change those bad names (going to change them one by one is not an option):
    1) If those "transformed" unique keys are the only ones you have in relational model then simply can apply naming standards
    2) You can write transformation script to do that for you
    3) you can use new functionality - search, export to excel file, change the names there (using find/replace will be faster) and return changed data back to relational model
    you can find description for that here:
    https://apex.oracle.com/pls/apex/f?p=44785:24:13179871410726::NO:24:P24_CONTENT_ID,P24_PREV_PAGE:6621,16

    http://www.thatjeffsmith.com/archive/2012/11/sql-developer-data-modeler-v3-3-early-adopter-collaborative-design-via-excel/
    You should search for _PK, then filter result on Index and you can export result using report functionality (to XLS or XLSX output format). You can create template and include only table and name (of index) as properties to be included into report.

  • Sql Developer Data Modeler 3.0 EA1: Preference- Naming standard- Templates

    I am trying to figure out how the naming standard templates work.
    When I go to:
    Preference -> Naming standard -> Templates
    It says that 'Attribute Relation' is '{ref entity} {ref attribute}'
    What is the consequence of this?
    I thought, it would mean that when creating a primary key attribute (ID) on an entity (DEPARTMENT), the related "foreign key" attribute (that is automatically created in related detail entities, such as EMPLOYEES) would be named DEPARTMENT ID.
    Instead it is just called ID. Is that the intended behavior?
    - Marc de Oliveira
    Edited by: marc66 on 2010-10-29 05:59

    Marc,
    you should check "FK Attribute name synchronization" setting in "Preferences>Data Modeler>Model>Logical model" - probably it's checked and you cannot change the name of FK attribute.
    I found another bug here - FK attribute doesn't follow changes in referred entity - I logged it in bug database. As workaround you can apply defined templates at entity level (there is button in entity dialog) or for whole logical model (using pop-up menu in the browser).

  • How to set naming standards templates

    I'm currently working with oracle sddm 4.0.0.833 and i'd like to change settings for objects like identifiant : emp_pk instead of employee_pk.
    In Sue Harper's book sqldeveloper 2.1, there's a menu naming standard. I cannot find it in my version!
    jm

    Hi,
    First find the node in the Browser for your Design (it's the node above "Logical Model") and then display its Properties dialog.
    In its left-hand panel, expand the Settings node.  Then expand the Naming Standard node, and you can select the Templates node to display the Template options.

  • Data Modeler - applying naming standards to relational model

    Hi,
    first of all thanks for the new data modeler build (584) - it really fixed some issues (e.g. unique keys with non mandatory referenced ids are now persistent) ...
    BUT ... why is there an option to disable foreign key names when applying naming rule although it does not work?
    I like my primary key names etc. to follow some naming rules, but I don't like foreign keys to follow rules, just because neither "Benutzer_Id3" follows the company internal naming rules nor is it very easy to understand at all.
    Steps taken:
    * logical model is complete
    * generate relational model
    * foreign key names are as intended (e.g. "User_Id_Modifier")
    * right click the relational model
    * click "Apply Naming Standards ..."
    * remove the check mark from "Column Foreign Key"
    * click "OK"
    The foreign key column is changed regardless of checkbox state :-( - even deselecting all check boxes still applies naming rules to the foreign key columns.
    Is there a fix/workaround for that or need I to go back to build 570?
    Thanks god I still have my 570 compatible model ins SVN
    regards stueckl

    Hi,
    unfortunately that functionality for all tables in relational model is broken - you still can use it at table level - "Naming rules" button in table dialog.
