Reverse Engineer Models Using DB Links ?

Hi,
I have tables that reside in database A.
I can access those tables from Database B using db link.
Is it possible to reverse engineer the tables belonging to database A in a model. If yes How?
Please reply.
Urgent Requirement
Regards,
Prerna

Hi Prerna Vij,
Yes you will.
- In topology, create a physical schema in your dataserver B. Put the name of the source schema on A and enter the dblink name you want to use.
- Create a logical schema and map it to the physical schema through contexts
- In Designer, create a new model using the logical schema you just created and build all the datastore manually
- Use these datastore as source in your interfaces and choose LKM Oracle to Oracle (DBLINK)
Hope it helps.

  • Reversal Process Model using PUOCBA

    Hi Guys,
    There is a requirement in our Co. to set up a reversal process model using PUOCBA.
    As far as i know, it is a pretty standard process and we need to copy standard process model SAPUSOCV and create our own and use the same in PUOCBA selecting the reversal option.
    I am doing my every steps correctly, but some how in table T52OCG the Processing type field is not converted to 'V' which is necessay for reversal and it does not allow me to do reversal.
    Kindly brief me on the same , if you have face the same kind of problem or have worked on it.

    Hi Jim,
    So this is my understanding. You have two different sequence files that are run for two different Test Environments. These two environments uses two different data structures to perform some initialization on two different instruments.
    The best way to do so without any modification to the sequential process model is to create Sequence File Globals. So lets say that you have test sequence 1 and test Sequence 2. The two data structures will be DataStruct 1 and DataStruct 2. So open your Test sequence 1 in the sequence editor. From the "View" drop down box on the sequence editor, select "Sequence File Types" and create your DataStruct 1 here. Similarly do that same for Test Sequence 2, create DataStruct2.
    Now use the ProcessSetup and ProcessCleanup callback. Again you shouldn't modify your process model. Go to Edit Menu >> Sequence File Callbacks. Select your callbacks and click add. This will automatically add your callbacks to your Test Sequence files. Now you can add the code relevant to your instruments here and you have access to your datastructure as well. The beauty with callbacks is, you can override the ones in your process model by the ones in your sequence files. This is automatically done, when you place the callback in your sequence file. Now we have accomplished what you wanted to do without a single modification to your process model.
    I hope this helps

  • Can SQL Dev Data Modeler be used to reverse engineer Windchill PDMLink

    Does anyone know if SQL Developer Data Modeler be used to reverse engineer Windchill PDMLink Oracle database? I need to get the DDL and ERDs from Windchill PDMLink.
    Can SQL Developer Data Modeler be used to reverse engineer object oriented Oracle databases?

    SQL Developer Data Modeler be used to reverse engineer Windchill PDMLink Oracle databaseprobably you mean Windchill PDMLink tables in Oracle database - yes, it's possible to get the structure of tables.
    Can SQL Developer Data Modeler be used to reverse engineer object oriented Oracle databases?It's not clear for me - you can reverse engineer definition of object and collection types, definitions of tables and views including those that use object and collection types in their definition.
    You can try it.

  • Model using the DB Link

    Hi,
    My source & Target are both Oracle DB. I have a DB Link from my Target DB to Source DB to access the Data.
    I created 2 Data Servers in my Topology. In my Source Data Server I gave the DB link name against the ‘instance/dB Link ‘.
    When I reverse Engineered the from Designer I expect the Source objects in my Source Data server, but, I am getting the target structures only. Can anyone please tell me how do I get my source structures in to the model using the DB link?
    Thanks in Advance

    Hi,
    I think the problem you might have, is that to reverse engineer, the user needs access to ALL_TABLES, ALL_TAB_COMMENTS and ALL_PART_TABLES etc on the remote. Users only normally have select access to the tables on the remote so that could be an issue.
    As I mentioned before, the use of the DBLINK/Instance is for LKM Oracle to Oracle (DBLINK) knowledge module. You could start amending the RKM to use the DB Link, but then you will still face the issue above, that the user will not have the correct privileges to the system tables to get the metadata.
    If you cannot create the jdbc connection directly to both the source and target via ODI, then you have a problem.
    One possible way, is to create views in server B of the tables in server A and reverse engineer those and then move them to the correct model and change the type to table, or you could just leave them as views in the target db, as that's basically what the LKM Oracle to Oracle (DBLINK) does. Have a look at the code for the LKM.
    Cheers

  • Reverse Engineer in models doesnt give the right structure from Essbase

    Hi,
    I have created Hyperion essbase(source)/Oracle(target) Data sources,Physical Schemas,Logical Scemas and have linked them with the context.
    When I create a model - I hadTechnology as Essbaseand the right physical schema -
    In the reverse engineer tab, I have correctly selected RKM Hyperion Essbase,Types pf objects is table.I had set True to multipls columns and had given the data column as Accounts - and the data column members as "Sales","Cogs"
    Now when I reverse engineer, I assumed the columns should be populated as (dim1,dim2,Sales,Cogs) - But what i get is (dim1,dim2,Account,Sales,Cogs,Data) - The account member and data also comes along in the column. Any idea where i am missing out this?
    Eventually when i execute the interface, I am ending up in an error "com.hyperion.odi.essbase.ODIEssbaseException: com.hyperion.odi.essbase.ODIEssbaseException: Invalid column in the source"
    Please share your thoughts...

    Hi,
    Please ignore, it is just that when a model is reverse engineered, it is having the old in memory and the new changes made in the model is getting appended along with the old dimension information creating some confusion.just did it with a different application and is giving desired results.I asked and I answered :)

  • Reverse engineer data model

    I was trying to reverse engineer database information into a data model diagram in visio 2000.
    I received the following error :
    Encountered a fatal error during reverse engineer of information from database
    My Database version is
    Oracle9i Enterprise Edition 9.2.0.5.0 64bit
    Is it true that Visio does not support Oracle 9i (as I was told) ? If so, is there any freeware on internet where I can do the same (reverse engineer)
    Thanks

    You can use most any ERD product to reverse engineer an existing system: oracle designer, ERWin ,ER/Studio, etc....
    But it is likely to be a very manual process.
    If the application does not make use of database defined FK, UK, and PK then you will likely be forced into reading source and/or running traces on application processes to follow the DML.

  • Modeling database have reverse engineer functionality ?

    whether can use Jdeveloer10g Modeling database functionality to reverse the online table schema from Oracle database ?

    Hi,
    Yes there are two methods of reverse engineering tables.
    The first is with your project selected in the Navigator go to File | New, go to the following node by expanding the tree in the New Gallery dialog 'Database Tier -> Offline Database Objects'. Now select the 'Offline Database Objects Imported from Database' and press OK, this will now invoke a wizard which will take you through the rest of the steps to import the tables.
    The second method is create a connection in JDeveloper to your schema, with your project selected in the Navigator go to File | New, go to the following node by expanding the tree in the New Gallery dialog 'Database Tier -> Offline Database Objects'. Now select 'Database Diagram'. Enter a name for the diagram and press OK. A new blank diagram will now be created. You can now expand your schema in the Connections Navigator and multi-select the tables you want to reverse engineer, you can then just drag and drop these from the Navigator onto the diagram.
    Thanks,

  • Reverse engineer using DBMS_METADATA

    Hi,
    Can I use DBMS_METADATA package to reverse engineer a scheduled job from the database. I tried running below statement but it only returns the first job no matter what I do:
    select JOB,WHAT,dbms_metadata.get_ddl('JOB',USER) FROM DBA_JOBS
    I even used a where clause to make sure that I am using a specific job but the output remains same I mean I get statement generated only for first job.
    Any thought?

  • Not able to see executions in operator - Reverse engineer problem

    Hi All,
    I´m starting a new project, this is the situation. I've created the agent (physical and logical), it's running as a service (OPMN instance). When I execute the test, "Agent test Successfull". So I guess that is not the problem.
    I'm creating a new model, I've already created the Data server (SQL server), connection test is Ok, I've also created the physical and Logical Schema. The problem is after creating a new model, when I select reverse engineer option, everything looks like that data is being correctly retrieve, however data do not appear in the model. When I go to the operator to check the log, nothing is there. Any idea?
    Thanks in advance,
    Gonzalo.-

    Do you mean to to say that uou are not finding any infor about the reverse engineering process in Operator ?
    If yes then please note Standard reverse engineering does not list down the operation performed in Operator.
    If you are using some RKM then only it will display the steps performed in Operator

  • Enquiry:  Any tool to reverse engineer an existing db schema in Oracle 8i

    Dear All,
    Do you know whether Oracle SQL Developer Data Modeler (3.1.1.703) supports Oracle 8i? If not, is there any tool that can be used to reverse engineer an existing database schema in Oracle 8i?
    Your early reply is appreciated.
    Thanks a lot.
    LAWRENCE CHOW

    That's a pity. The initial version of Data Modeler used to support import from Oracle 8i.
    You could try setting up an ODBC connection to your database and using the JDBC tab (rather than the Oracle tab) when entering the Connection details into Data Modeler.
    Alternatively, if you can get hold of an earlier version of Data Modeler (e.g. version 3.0 or earlier), you could try this (and if it works you could then upgrade your model to the current version).

  • Reverse engineer issues in ODI 11g

    Hello gurus,
    We are testing ODI upgrade and we have an issue while reversing a data model.Its an existing sql server table and in ODI when we click on the reverse engineer ODI datastore doesnt sync with sql server DB table.
    Please help ?
    Thanks,

    Thank you so much for your reply....Yes thats exactly right it is not considering the deleted columns....when i try to remove the the data store it gives me an error saying

    Hi,
    It looks as though we got it to work. However the way we got it to work is a bit confusing. We had someone just login and try it. The only difference is they used the admin username instead of the one we were using. They successfully ran the reverse. Then we re-logged in with the other username we were using before and it worked.
    I just realized however before they did that, I was on the Prod server trying to open and view the odiparams.bat file. I accidentally ran the file by choosing 'open' instead of 'edit'. Thus I'm thinking that running that odiparams.bat file actually fixed the issue rather than logging in with admin account.
    What would your professional opinion be on this as we can't recreate the issue and figure out which one fixed it.
    Thanks,

  • EBS reverse engineer table/view names

    Hi Frank,
    I assume you imported your Table definitions from a DDL file.
    Column datatypes appear in dialogs in the way you have described if Domains are set up during the import and the Columns are associated with these Domains.
    You can change this by opening the Preferences dialog (select Preferences from the Tools menu) and selecting Data Modeler/DDL in the tree.
    On the Data Modeler/DDL page of the Preferences you should unset the option "Create Domains During Import".
