Sample of Business Model Diagrams

I am newly to Oracle Designer Please provide me a sample of business model diagrams to help me learning Oracle Designer

Hi Abdul,
I do not know exactly what you mean by 'Business Model Diagrams', but the most easy way to learn Oracle Designer is to go through the documentation.
See e.g. http://www.oracle.com/technology/products/designer/index.html or look in the help functionality in Designer.
Good luck!

Conforming Dimensions - won't appear on the same business model diagram?!

Hi,
this is one of those where you have done something a 1000 times without thinking about it, and then suddenly I find when I have two subject areas with dimensions I want to share in the business model diagram the diagram will not display both sets of tables on the same diagram, no matter which way round I try it...
i.e.
I have 1 fact, 1 dimension in one subject area
I want to join the fact to four other conforming dimensions in another subject area.
I have seen a 10g hit saying go from the physical aliases - but this does not seem optimal, surely there must be a better way??
I am on 11.1.1.5
Anyone help?!
thanks,
Robert.

Hi,
additional info
Physical layer; -
Fact 1 - Dimension 1 - Fact 2 - Dimension 5
- Dimension 2
- Dimension 3
- Dimension 4
Subject Area 1 = Fact 1 and all directly joined Dimensions
Business Model Diagram = Fact 1 and all directly joined Dimensions
Subject Area 2 = Fact 2 and Dimension 5
How do I join Fact 2 to Dimension 1,2,3??
Anyone help?
thanks,
Robert.

Designing the Business Model diagram issue

I need help from the experts.
We have many tables in the physical layer but for our scenario consider only Dim 1, Dim 2, Fact 1, Fact 2, Fact 3.
Fact 2, Fact 3 are the lowest granularity and relationship b/w
Fact 1 ---> Fact 2 is one-to-many
Fact 1 ---> Fact 3 is one-to-many
Dim 1 ---> Dim 2 is one-to-many
Dim 1 is linked to Fact 1
Dim 2 is linked to Fact 2
Need suggestion designing the bmm layer Star schema structure in the above scenario.
Thanks,
Tom

Thanks JV for the quick response.
This is what I did yesterday before seeing your response, let me know if this is correct.
I created single logical fact table (Log Fact 1) in the BMM layer and moved all the columns from the three physical fact tables (Fact 1, Fact 2, Fact 3) into the BMM logical fact table. We removed the relationship b/w Dim1 and Dim2 in the data model. Dim 2 is connected to Fact 2 only in the physical layer now.
Dim 2 is logical join with "Log Fact 1" in the BMM layer.
Tool did not complain with any errors or warnings, but I'm not sure if this is correct way of doing it.
Awaiting for your thoughts/inputs.
Thanks,
Tom

OBIEE 10G - Repository Business Model adding Fact Table

Hi there,
I've tried to search in the forum for problems similar to this one but didn't find any thread that answered my doubts.
I'll try to explain this well (without images it's complicated). Let's assume we have a schema with the following tables:
Dim_1, Dim_2 , Dim_3, Dim_4, Dim_5, Fact_1, Fact_2
Fact_1 is connected to Dim_1, Dim_2 and Dim_3
Fact_2 is connected to Dim_2, Dim_3, Dim_4 and Dim_5
And on the business model of the repository we already have a model with the following tables:
Dim_1, Dim_2, Dim_3 and Fact_1. This was the state of the repository the last time we saved it.
Now i want to add to the business model the table Fact_2 and the Dims that connect with Fact_2. What should i do here?
If i drag from the physical layer only the tables (Dim_4, Dim_5 and Fact_2 since Dim_1 and Dim_2 already exist in the business model) when i check on the business model diagram the Fact_2 table and direct joins i will only see joins to Dim_4 and Dim_5 and not the joins to the two other dimesion tables (Dim_1 and Dim_2). I don't know if OBIEE will still act like these joins are made or if i will have problems when i work on presentation services.
If i drag from the physical layer the tables (Dim_2, Dim_3, Dim_4, Dim_5 and Fact_2) i will see all joins but i will have on the business model repeated tables, something like this:
Dim_1, Dim_2, Dim_2#1, Dim_3, Dim_3#1, Dim_4, Dim_5, Fact_1 and Fact_2
So what's the solution here? Do i have to redo everything i want to add something and this situation occurs? Doesn't sound smart and there has to be a better solution. I know i can redo the direct joins manually but is that the best solution i can look for in this situation?
I hope i was clear :)
Thanks

Hi,
Follow these steps,
1.Drag Dim_4, Dim_5 and Fact_2 to BMM
2.Select (Press Ctrl to select multiple objects)in BMM: Dim 1 to 5, Fact_1 and Fact_2
3.Right click ->Business Model diagram->Selected objects only
4.Give the necessary joins,
Dim 4,&5 joins to Fact1(as 1,2,3 are already joined)
Dim 2,3,4,5 joins to Fact2
5.Check consistency.

Business Components diagram to Database Diagram AUTOMATICALLY Please.

Hello,
We are using Jdev 10.1.2 and we have a beautiful business components diagram with all the entities and associations and would like to generate automatically a database diagram from that beauty, without effectively creating the tables. We wish to have a look at the data definition language script to be sure that we get what we expect, when we generate the tables.
Does anyone have any idea how to proceed ?
Thanks a lot for your co-operation.
Peace and Love to all of you !!!
Jacques

Jacques,
In JDeveloper 10.1.2, you will need to generate tables from your Entity Objects to the database first and then either drag and drop the tables from the Connections Navigator to the diagram, or import them to the Offline Database, and then drag them to the diagram from the Applications Navigator.
We are working on better integration between Business Components and the Offline Database/Database Modeling in future versions of JDeveloper.
- John.

BUG 10.1.3 EA -- BME-99003 in Business Components Diagram with imported EOs

________________________________________________________________________________

We have not been able to reproduce the exact same error, there would be a problem if we were trying to write to the library file, as those objects are read only, of course. Can you tell me, the entity object that you are referencing, has it ever appeared on a diagram? An easy way to tell, if you don't know is by looking at its XML file and see if it has an ID=some long string entry.

Business models supported by BPA

what are the different kinds of modeling techniques/standards like EPC or BPMN supported by oracle BPA suite? What model types should be used to draw the processes conforming to these standards?

For business process modelling, Oracle BPA suite supports both EPC and BPMN. For EPC you can use "EPC" model to create a new EPC diagram. There are other options also for EPC like EPC with column,horizontal,row display etc.
BPMN diagrams can be created using "Business Process Diagram" model.
Hope it helps,

How can I use Server level variables in a business model based report

hi gems..
I have declared one server level variable in the BI Analytics repository.
Now I have made one business model based report.
In one column I want to use that server level varible.
I go to the formula tab of that column and then clicked on variable--> session --> put the name of the variable and click ok.
But when i viewed the report, it is not showing the dates, rather it is showing the date format I chosed i.e DD-MMM-YYYY.
please help..

actually the previous problem got resolved...
Now when I am trying to apply a filter on a particular column using that server variable, then it is showing that the varible has no value definition.
I have clicked on the filter tab of that column-->add-->variables-->session variables-->then I put the name of the variable-->click OK.
the following error is comming-
Error Codes: YQCO4T56:OPR4ONWY:U9IM8TAC:OI2DL65P
Odbc driver returned an error (SQLExecDirectW).
State: HY000. Code: 10058. [NQODBC] [SQL_STATE: HY000] [nQSError: 10058] A general error has occurred. [nQSError: 23005] The repository variable, Variable_name, has no value definition. (HY000)
I have made that server variable from manage-->variables-->(right click) create new initialisation block-->gave the name and wrote the query and aslo gave the connection pool name and test that and it worked fine..

OBIEE 10g repository - Business model - logical table to physical table, column mapping is empty

Hi, I am really new to OBIEE 10g.
I already set up a SQL Server 2005 database in Physical and import a view vw_Dim_retail_branch.
The view has 3 columns: branch_id, branch_code, branch_desc.
Now I want to set up the Business model to map this physical table (view).
I created a new Business model
Added new logical table Dim_retail_branch
In the sources, added the vw_Dim_retail_branch as source table.
But in the Logical table source window, column mapping tab, it's blank. I thought it should be able to identify all the columns from vw_Dim_retail_branch, but not. The show mapped columns is ticked.
What should I do here? Manually type each column?

HI,
Just you can drag and drop the columns from physical layer to BMM layer.
Select the 3 columns and drag and drop it to the created logical column in BMM layer.

Unable to generate Logical Model Diagrams through Reverse Engineering

Hi,
I am currently using SQL Developer Data Modeler Version-3.0.04.
I have generated Logical Model Diagrams from Relational Model Diagrams through Reverse Engineering (Done by pressing an" engineer to Logical Model button" on top panel of sql developer) .I saved the DMD file (source file) once i had done generating the logical diagrams.Now if i reopen the DMD and open the logical diagram again I found that most of the tables had lost their relationships.So i tried to regenerate the Logical Model Diagram again from the same Relational Diagram but it is not being generated unless i create a new Relational Diagram.Is there a way to generate multiple Logical Diagrams for the same Relational Diagram rather than creating a new one for each Logical Diagram to be created.
Regards .
Thanks in advance.

Any comments on this issue?. Please let us know.

How to copy one Analysis/Report in Business Model A to Business Model B?

I have created a Business Model, Presentation layer in my RPD. I have many subsequent reports/analysis for that BM. Now, i have created a second BM/Presentation layer, in the same RPD, which uses a new set of identical tables (columns and table names, etc... all the same, but different data). So, without re-created each report in Analysis, i just want to copy some of those reports/analysis so they will use my 2nd BM instead of the first. Can this be done, and how?
Edited by: user12602240 on Mar 31, 2012 11:50 AM

I'm retracting my comments for now -- this may be due to a column ALIAS which isn't present.
I will re-post after I investigate that a bit.
--- Original ---
Kalyan,
Not sure if you had any difficulties in this method. When i try it, i get the following error below. I've checked my names - the names "Periods" and "PERIOD_ID" are identical in both my subject areas. They refer back to aliased tables which ultimately point back to the same physical table. It's unclear to me why i am getting the unresolved column error, but i'm still trying to sort that out.
Odbc driver returned an error (SQLExecDirectW).

EServer Model Diagram and Cross Reference schema -Foreign key

Hi,
I am doing reverser engineering to generate ER diagram from Designer. Version of designer I am using is 10.2.0.2.
While trying to generate SMD (Server model Diagram) from existing database schema, it is failing on generating foreign keys reference to other schema and its table.
Can anybody help me to solve the this problem ?

How to add a stand alone table from Physical layer to Business Model

Hi,
I have tables from 2 different database sources in my Physical Layer.
My Business model currently uses only tables from one database. from my second database in teh physical layer I need only one table and that will be a stand alone table, to my Presentation layer.
1. Does it have to go through my Business layer or can it be directly added to the Presentation layer. What are the steps?
2. Can I restrict the permissions on that stand alone table only to the administrator?
Thank you.

1)create a view with single column using the sql (select 1 from dual) in physical layer and join it with the table using complex join in physical layer (1=1).
Move that to BMM, set the column as key in both physical and bmm layer.
2) You can restrict the access for the table presentation layer
Double click the presentation layer table -> Permission -> there you can restrict the access by user or group
Thanks,
Vino

Business Model and Mapping layer

I am trying to create a logical dimension table by dragging the corresponding table from the physical layer. However, in the business model layer it shows up with a yellow icon indicating it is a logical fact table. Please help me how I create a logical dimension table in the business model layer. Not sure what I am doing wrong here.
Thanks.

Hello Saichand,
No I did not. Do I have to create joins even when I am dragging this object from the physical layer? Let me read and learn how to create the joins. I will get back if I will have more questions.
But, thanks for the quick response. As you can see this is the first time I am trying to modify the business model layer.
Thanks.

Alternative approach to tree business model

Hi JHS Team,
When generating tree-forms with JHeadstart, we need two VO instances in the model for each node we want to present: one for rendering the Tree and another to show on the form, after the user selects a node.
I understand that this is necessary for the case when the user clicks on one node which father node isn't the current row of its corresponding View Object, and so in such case the form couldn't find the current row and show the correct data.
I'm still using the 10.1.2 version, but I checked the 10.1.3 documentation and this model requirement is still there.
I tried another approach to this issue, which consists of using the very same VO instance for trees and forms: in every level, I render the node with every Iterator used in the previous levels and each corresponding row key for every previous levels. When the user selects a node, in that node link I have every Iterator I need to seek and every primary key I need to search for, so I can really reconstruct the path used by the user to seek that node.
So, the benefit is that I don't need a root VO in the AM for every node I need to present as a form. In huge trees, this really simplifies the model construction and its maintanance.
In 10.1.2, the runtime library (JhsDataAction) is already prepared for this, so I would like to know, if possible, the reasons why this is not used already by default (maybe performance?). If there is a reason to mantain the two VO instances in 10.1.3, could it be changed to allow us use the same instances as an alternative to simplify models, and generate the JSF pages working accordingly?
Thanks a lot!
Eduardo

Hi Steven,
Many thanks for the explanation. I agree with you that the current implementation is easier to understand, but I think it is only from the point of view of a programmer who understand some concepts of ADF business model. When you're a beginner, it's more difficult and less intuitive (or at least it was for me some time ago :-))
I can say that in our project we have 4 very large trees in the same Application Module (since they need to be present on the same project as they're all related), and in each level we have at least 3 or 4 "details" VOs we present in the form, so the final model is really huge and really difficult to maintain. It was surprisingly easy to change the UIXs to the other approach, however, so I asked myself if this was tried already. Thanks for warning me of the unpredictable problems, I'll see if we have any.
Eduardo
