Sample schema - real life data to make it interesting for stundents

Hi Guys,
I wonder if there is an exciting example training schema around and
I dont mean HR or customer order data :) I rather
want to see something that makes students want to do the join and
figure out the details. Data like salary statistics for
professions and various countries by year or other
interesting real-life demographic data.
Thanks for any ideas

Hi Centinul,
Thanks for the link.
@Pavan, I dont have any requirements. I just want a sample schema that does
not make stundents fall asleep while querying some random numbers (who cares about sales figures of john doe?).
I need to keep people engaged and make them "want" to query because they "want" to know the answer.

Merging XML Data to make many documents

Hello,
Here's where I am at:
I've used LifeCycle Designer to create a PDF with all the forms named. I have XML data for all my companys. The XML data merges into the document, and fills in the form perfectly.
However, I'm looking to take this one step further, and automate the process. Meaning, Putting all the company data in one file, and importing the data to make PDF forms for each company.
Similar to a mail merge. --Lots of different Companys, Fill in thier each individual page.
What are the steps to do this?
Thanks!
--Jeff

Yes.
You can do one of the following:
a) Build a custom application using the LiveCycle Forms api.
b) Use the RenderForm QPAC within a workflow to convert the XML to a PDF.
The RenderForm QPAC is a little obscure to use - read the documentation VERY carefully, and be very careful about the values you enter, otherwise it won't work. It does work perfectly if you get all the values right. In my experience, you do need to enter a username and password, even though these are not noted as mandatory fields.

What is the difference between the Qualitative chars and Qualitative chars in MIC
Hi JJ,
I think by this you mean to ask that what is the diff. between Qualitative Char & Quantitative Chars. Right?
Qualitative Chars:-
As it's name suggest itself the test that are performed to measure the qualitative analysis of the material, e.g. Color, Odour, Solubility, Description etc....For these all test, the qualitative Characteristics are maintained in SAP.
The Test for which the results are likely,supposed to, expected to receive as Characters, Description, as "TEXT", they are normally maintained as qualitative characters in SAP.
Quantitative Chars:-
As it's name suggest itself the test that are performed to measure the quantitative analysis of the material, e.g. Weight, Hight, Width etc....For these all test, the qualitative Characteristics are maintained in SAP.
The Test for which the results are likely,supposed to, expected to receive as Numbers they are normally maintained as qualitative characters in SAP.
Dear All SAP-PLM Champs....
Herewith I have tried to elaborate it in very ground level words, if I am wrong somewhere pls correct me.

How are Game Center "Friend Recommendations" people I know in real life? (Meetup/Facebook data?)

This seems like a major privacy concern, but mainly I'm just very curious how this can possibly happen:
The Game Center app suggests primarily people I have met in real life... but have had NO online interaction with!
I life in a high-population US city, yet at least 2/3 of my Friend Recommendations (maybe more if they had photos or knew these peoples' last names) are people I have actually MET in person and know vaguely... but who I do now know well and who are NOT friends/contacts in any online service.
I have never emailed them (with two exceptions); we don't even know each others' email addresses, and even if we did, my Apple ID email is not one I use for actual emailing purposes. Nor do we know each others' phone numbers, nor gaming nicknames; often not even last names. I didn't even know that they owned iOS devices or played games at all!
We have certainly never played games with one another before; in fact, I have never used Game Center's friend feature and I don't have any GC friends. I only play random matches, and almost always on non-GC game services, for that matter.
None of them has ever made a friend request to me. I've only ever gotten one GC request, long ago, and I denied it; it was not someone I knew.
Some of them list "zero games in common" so it's not even that (and anyway, millions of people have games in common with me).
Only one of them is in my Contacts (iOS/Mac address book), and knowing how serious they are about privacy, I doubt the email address I have is their AppleID. I know your address book can (for now) be accessed without permission, but these people just aren't listed.
But I DO run into these recommendations in person every so often!
These cannot be randomly selected by geography because a) they're not super close to me in miles, and b) there are millions of iOS users near me. No way that most of the suggestions would be people I've met, if this were chance alone. SOME source of data is being used by GC, and I'm baffled as to what it could be.
The closest three theories I can come up with are all pretty implausible:
1. Indirect Facebook connection. These people are NOT my Facebook friends (with a couple exceptions; I never actually use Facebook but I do have an account, and if someone requests, I generally accept). I double-checked that. But they MAY be "friends of friends" possibly. But how would Apple obtain my FB friend list? And if they did have it, wouldn't they just suggest my actual FB friends, not friends-of-friends? My Facebook login email address is an alumni address that I have never used for any other purpuse; it is not my Apple ID. And I have diligently set nearly every option to "hidden" on Facebook: even friends see a mostly blank profile!
2. Meetup.com. This is a 100% correlation! I'm in several local groups that use Meetup.com to schedule meetings, and ALL of these Game Center recommendations are memebers of Meetup groups that I too am a member of. That's how I've met most of them. But Meetup has no "friends" feature, and most of these people have had no online connection with me (Meetup messages etc.) through Meetup. We've just attended the same events--which do have online RSVP lists--or else we are merely listed as members of the same group(s). (But we're talking large groups, so I haven't actually met most of the members, and I have met most of these GC recommendations.) But how would Apple obtain my Meetup info? Again my Meetup account's email address is not my Apple ID, and I have never used that email address with any Apple service (although it is on my Contacts card).
3. Maybe Apple harvested my address book/contacts list (which does NOT contain these people), and also harvested the contacts lists of these people, AND also harvested the contacts lists of people we know in common who happen to have both of us listed. Then they put it all together. (That's a stretch: the people I know the best on Meetup--whose info I do have in Contacts--are Android users!) But again, why not recommend my actual contacts, instead of contacts-of-contacts? My actual contacts--which contain numerous iOS users and games--are notably absent from the recommendations (with one exception).
Obivously Apple cannot, and does not, literally know who I have met. (No foil hat for me!) But they DO seem to have some data source that correlates closely with people I have met (and Meetup activity especially). I'm dying to know how that's possible.
This is a privacy concern, for at least three reasons I can think of:
1. GC lists these people's real names AND GC nicknames together--BEFORE I have accepted them as friends! And vice versa, I'm sure my nickname is being shown with my real name to total strangers. That means strangers, employers, stalkers, whoever, can now tie a person to their nickname (often the same one they use all over the Interner, not just GC). But we're not talking random suggestions: this is being show to people I DO know. Maybe I don't want them Googling my online nicknames! Maybe I complain about my work with that nickname Maybe I want my online friends and real-life acquaintainces kept separate. I definitely want EVERYTHING kept separate from these people I barely know but run into from time to time! One of these people is, in fact, on the sex offenders registry, and has stalked a friend of mine both online and offline. Maybe he'll learn my GC nickname--the same way it has shown me his--and can now Google that!
2. If I have a lot of "games in common" listed, then they can peg me as a "gamer," which is sometimes a negative. Maybe I want my boss (or whoever) to think I'm more serious, even if he games too, and now he knows I have 30 games and wonders why I'm not staying late to work Maybe I just don't want to be roped into being "friends" online with my boss, or having to let him win games! Again, although this is a small issue at first glance, it's less small when things are being shared with people you really DO know in real life. What if my hypothetical stalker sees I have games in common? Sure, I can deny their friend request and cancel their 500 game attempts, but I'd rather be 100% hidden from them in the first place. I have no prior online contact, I want it to stay that way, and I've never given Apple permission, that I know of, to share my real name with people I never friended. (And even if I did, it should be with random strangers--not actual acquaintances.)
3. The big mystery--how is Apple getting data that correlates with who I've met in the first place? I'm guessing that some people see the same pattern I do, and some don't; which might lead to an answer, but so far I'm stumped. (If this does tie to Meetup some bizarre way, that would be unnerving because Meetup ties me to real places and specific times.)
Theories are welcome! And a basic question: what data sources DOES Game Center have available to use in making friend suggestions? I would have guessed maybe Location Services (nearby people) and people who have played a game with me (or made a friend request) in the past. But those sources are not what I'm seeing.
(Even weirder is that nobody else seems to have posted about this happening; it may not happen to everyone, but surely some people have had this same question? I feel like I'm in a Kafka novel...)

That's a good thought that could explain some cases, but not mine: these people definitely don't know my email address, and I'm not in their Address Book. (Some of these are people I might meet on a hike, say, and nod to in passing on other hikes once a or twice a year, and that's the extent of the "relationship"--no contact info ever exchanged. We don't even know what cities each other are from.)
we don't even know each others' email addresses, and even if we did, my Apple ID email is not one I use for actual emailing purposes. Nor do we know each others' phone numbers, nor gaming nicknames; often not even last names.
I should correct my first post: I said I "do now know well"... that should be "do NOT know well".

Sample schema and data downloads?

I have installed oracle and I wish to test it with a substantial schema installed, with enough data to simulate a production level database.
I was wondering if online there were any large sample schemas, with large amounts of data (in sql loader .dat files?) that could be downloaded. My search so far has not been successful.
If possible I would like to get a schema with very large number of tables and many thousands of lines of data.

First thing: you'd be better generating a dataset to match your particular requirements.
However, If you're thinking about a data warehouse, you could do worse than borrow the Mondrian 'Foodmart' test dataset. That contains 328k rows of data (so pretty small, but not trivial). See http://mondrian.sourceforge.net/.
Alternatively, lots of people start with datasets based on Northwind - the well known Access/SQL Server dataset. There's an article here http://www.oracle.com/technology/pub/articles/gagne_access.html on how to extract the necessary DDL using the mdbtools utilities.

Data Types from Oracle Sample Schema

Hi,
I was trying to push some data from an Oracle Sample schema (Schema: OE Table: Customers) to a target schema. The interface was erroring out because of undefined data types in the model.
I chkd the model, only to find that some of the data types were undefined.
I DESCribed the table in the using SQL Client, The data types returned were
CUST_ADDRESS_TYP
PHONE_LIST_TYP
MDSYS.SDO_GEOMETRY
I DESCribed the datatypes, They seem to be flexfields of some kind,
Please advise on how to define these data types into ODI:
Heres the DESC output
SQL> desc customers;
Name Null? Type
CUSTOMER_ID NOT NULL NUMBER(6)
CUST_FIRST_NAME NOT NULL VARCHAR2(20)
CUST_LAST_NAME NOT NULL VARCHAR2(20)
CUST_ADDRESS CUST_ADDRESS_TYP
PHONE_NUMBERS PHONE_LIST_TYP
NLS_LANGUAGE VARCHAR2(3)
NLS_TERRITORY VARCHAR2(30)
CREDIT_LIMIT NUMBER(9,2)
CUST_EMAIL VARCHAR2(30)
ACCOUNT_MGR_ID NUMBER(6)
CUST_GEO_LOCATION MDSYS.SDO_GEOMETRY
DATE_OF_BIRTH DATE
MARITAL_STATUS VARCHAR2(20)
GENDER VARCHAR2(1)
INCOME_LEVEL VARCHAR2(20)
SQL> desc CUST_ADDRESS_TYP;
Name Null? Type
STREET_ADDRESS VARCHAR2(40)
POSTAL_CODE VARCHAR2(10)
CITY VARCHAR2(30)
STATE_PROVINCE VARCHAR2(10)
COUNTRY_ID CHAR(2)
SQL> desc phone_list_typ;
phone_list_typ VARRAY(5) OF VARCHAR2(25)

To create MDSYS.SDO_GEOMETRY datatype, goes to Topology module, Oracle Techonology, Datatypes, and add a new datatype GEOMETRY. (try to fill all information fields with GEOMETRY and see what happens maybe you have to ajust this after but it is a start point).
add information in from and to tabs according your source and target desired tech.
Reverse againg your model, or change the datatype in the model datastore. Re-run your interface

Real life SD Project - Gurus requested to give brief feedback

Hi,
Please read the real life SD - FICO scenario given below and if you think you have the solution, kindly state your suggestion. Would be much appreciated.
===================================================
Engineering Services Orders (Inter-company)
Process Steps (As-is)
1.Purchase Order is received in Co. A via EDI, from Co. B
2.Sales Order (services) is automatically generated in Co. A. It has item 10 as hours and item 20 as travel expenses in $ amount
Sales accounting creates settlement rule and internal order number and advises the engineers who will provide the services
3.Later on, engineers report actual hours for services rendered, by using CATS system This merely reports data in SAP system but does not make an FI posting
They use the order number advised to them in step 2 to create an internal order
4 Actual travel expenses are added by Payroll - as a direct posting to FI
5. Periodic CATS batch job is carried out by relevant IT person, to settle costs to an internal order (not to sales order). These costs are labor hours and travel expenses
6. FICO personnel then do transaction K08G to settle internal order --> sales order
7. (Manual Step) Sales Accounting then runs report KVBI to view and select data related to service orders The data is downloaded to an Excel worksheet and handed over to SD-Billing.
8. (Manual step) The cost data in dollar figures is converted to hours by SD-Billing, dividing cost data with rate / hour given in the sales order condition record
9. SD-Billing creates invoice. Since it is order-related invoice, it has open quantities coming in from the order. These are now manually over-written / replaced with the actual data from step 7 & 8. An invoice is thus, generated for each order individually.
Process (To-be)
To create an interim document (billing request?) to replace manual steps 7 and 8. This interim document needs to capture actual cost data form the system and also show the remaining / open quantities from the sales order
QUESTION: what is the best route to go?
Configure a Billing Request document (by modifying a standard Credit Memo Request / Debit Memo Request) or
Going via the route of resource-related billing?

Refer to the document: J48 - Project with Intercompany Billing
Link: http://help.sap.com/bp_blv1500/BL_India/index.htm
This is a very good document for guidance.

Can't find sample schemas

I have installed 10g xe. I am self training using the oracle press book "Oracle Database 10g A Beginner's Guide." However, the book indicates that the customer table, mentioned in chapter 2 is provided as part of the sample schema in 10g. But the only schema I have is HR. Is there a place where I can download and import the schemas mentioned in the book? Or must I install enterprise edition in order to work with them? Thanks to any that can assist.

The Order Entry (OE) schema builds on the purely relational Human Relations (HR) schema with some object-relational and object-oriented features. The OE schema contains seven tables: Customers, Product_Descriptions, Product_Information, Order_Items, Orders, Inventories, and Warehouses. The OE schema has links into the HR schema and PM schema. This schema also has synonyms defined on HR objects to make access transparent to users.

Sampling scheme

Gurus,
I have created a sampling scheme & assigned it in sampling procedure.When i record results if the sample size is 15 if i have
inspected only 12 & enter the value the system is giving an error msg,
Diagnosis
You can directly confirm the number of nonconforming units or the system calculates the number of nonconforming units from the number of sample units beyond the tolerance range.
System Response
The number of nonconforming units cannot be greater than the number of inspected test units.
Procedure
Check and correct your entry.
What should be done to overcome this bcoz in real time all the sample might not be inspected

Are you sure you had the numbers in the right colums? I've found that people easily confuse and put the wrong values in the colums "No. inspected" and "No. defects".
Also, what was the scope you set for your characteristics?
If you had fixed scope on the characteristics, the system is expecting 15 results and will throw errors if you don't record 15.
From your error message however, it looks like you have attempted to record a higher number of defective units then what was inspected. So if you make 1000 widgets and in QM you are inspecting 15, you can't record more then 15 defective units. If you inspect more then 15, then you have to change the number of inspected units to the actual number of units you actually inspected. Then you can confirm up to that many defective units.

Display real time data on a plot in a sub VI and main VI

I am building a program to measure and plot real time data. Program has several steps so I build few Sub VIs to make it simple. My problem is I am plotting real time data in my SUB VI(it works fine), but in my main program when I try to get the same plot its not real time data plot. Plots appear at the end of the program. All tips and help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks

LabVIEW program is based on DATA FLOW, now, until the subVI will finish execution (while loop will be stopped), the execution in Main VI will not proceed any further.
If you can pass the reference of 'XY Graph' inside the subVI, you'll be able to update the plot (placed on MAIN VI) from within subVI.

How to count occurences of a certain string in incoming real-time data? Also displaying RTC data. Current VI included

I use LabView student Express 7 on a Windows XP system.
Time-frame: we are doing final integrations for our balloon experiment today. We just got told that the press wants to view real-time data, which we haven't programmed for. I need help to get a working VI at the latest by 25.02.2004 before 0800(morning) (GMT+1).
Note on license
It is a student balloon flight, and the data will not be used in scientific work, so the I am not breaking any license agreements (I hope).
Problem synopsis:
The balloon continually transmits data at 9600baud. The data is a semi-repeating header followed by a constant lenght data-package arranged like this:
BEXUS[h][m][s]BEXUS[h][m][s]
[Raw binary data, 7channels*8sub-channels*8bits]
What the groundstation is doing right now:
Take all incomming data and save (append) the data to a file without any data-handling. (We figured we would go post-processing).
What I need to change in less than 24 hours:
- Add a "package" counter
- Add a display of the clock data (RTC)
How I planned to implement the changes:
-RTC display:
The RTC data is in BCD format, since that means that if you look at the data as hex numbers, you get the hours and minutes and seconds out in "clear text". That is 12 hours is 0x12hex. I figured that I can do a match pattern BEXUS and pass the "after substring" to another match pattern BEXUS from which I feed the "before substring" to a type-cast VI (casting string to u8) and displaying that, which should give me a display of "123000" for the time 12:30:00... I couldn't get it to work at all when I tried out the supplied "beta" vi.
- Package counter:
Counting how many BEXUS that gets detected and dividing by 2. I don't know how to do this. I've looked on the forum (a good thread on the problem: "how do I count the number of *'s in a string") but these use either loops or arrays... and I'm not sure how this works when I'm getting the data in at realtime. I cant make an array and then count it, since then the array would grow fast and possibly interfere with saving of the data??? Saving the data is critical.. without that file we cant do post-processing.
Since my time is so limited (I'm not even supposed to do the groundstation software but they called on me in the last minute because no-one else had time/wanted too/could do it) I hope that you could make an exception and provide me with working VI's (based on the one I have attached) so that I can show something to the press! (Free comercial for NI!! Since the student version shows the National Instruments water-mark on all VI's!!! Possible TV time!!)
Thanks!
PS: even if you are to late (after 25) post anyway!
Why:
-I can learn from it
-the launch might be delayed due to weather conditions
-others might find it amusing!
Thanks again!

I have a valid example data file attached to this thread.
If you open BEXTEST.bin in a hex-editor of your choice, you'll see the BEXUS as 42 45 58 55 53 and then the time as 00 28 09 etc.
I couldn't get Joe Guo's VI to work. It doesn't count packages correctly, and the time is not displayed correctly either.
The file was saved using a straight save to file VI.
The data is from actual launching area tests performed a few mintues ago. The time displayed is "On time" e.g. how long the gondola has been powered up.
I have a spare T-junction, so I can hook into the balloon real-time data as we fly, in case anyone care to see if they can figure out why the latest version of Joe Guo's program is not displaying correctly.
I will monitor this
thread during and after flight to see if anyone can make it in time!
Thanks for the great effort!!

XML Schema file in data definition

Hi,
I am creating a custom RTF template for a seeded data definition in the eBusiness Suite. The data definition has an XML Schema file loaded however this does not include all the data required for the template. Running the report to just generate the XML (i.e. no template) I can see that the additional data is available at this level just not included in the XSD.
I have built the template including the additional elements from the XML and expected to have to create a custom data definition as well to add the additional elements to the XSD. However the template is working against the seeded definition and successfully picking up the elements that are not included in the XSD.
Has anybody else come across this situation? And are there any potential issues? I could create a custom data definition as well to load an amended XSD but this would be a more invasive change as it would involve end dating the seeded data definition which I would prefer not to do. The report is not being generated from a concurrent request so I cannot just create a custom request and leave the seeded report untouched.
Thanks,
Sarah

The XML Schema is only required if you are using a PDF template (the template file itself is PDF) with field-mapping. For other template types the schema is optional.
The XML Schema is used to define a "class" of XML documents, so to speak. The define the semantics and structure of the XML documents more thoroughly.
If you have closely related reports, you could use a single schema to standardize (in a sense) the XML to be output from the class of related reports. In that case you could have a single schema file uploaded to multiple reports/data-definitions.
The W3C has good documentation on XML Schema.
If you want to see samples, you can use tools such as dtd2xs to create sample schemas from your DTD.

Hello,
There are many posts on this site concerning issues such as this from your region. Many who have posted have reported that, when they escalated through their proper support channels, they have been told that the problem is network congestion. But, "blame" shifts back and forth between RIM and the local mobile service providers. Consequently, I recommend that all who are experiencing this problem contact their mobile service providers and open a formal support ticket on this issue. The more of those that get placed, the more likely they will actually do something about it.
Good luck!

Oracle 9i Sample Schema running in client/server mode?

I've got Oracle 9i up on RH7.3 and have successfully executed the sample schema on the Server using the mksample.sql script.
Now the challenge is to run these same (sample schema) SQL scripts across a network using a 9i client. I copied the demo/schema files from the server installation to the client but when I invoke the mksample script the passwords have to include a connect_identifier which, in this environment, causes the subordinate scripts to get confused.
Has anyone else attempted to do this?

You did not have to change any of your scripts to put the connect_identifier.
Within SQL*Plus you can use the "SET INSTANCE <connect_identifier>" command to make that Oracle instance
your default for this session. After you do this, all your connect statements will not require a
connect_identifier.
==============================================================
$ sqlplus /nolog
SQL> set instance ORA901
Oracle9i Enterprise Edition Release 9.0.1.1.1 - Production
With the Partitioning option
JServer Release 9.0.1.1.1 - Production
SQL> connect scott/tiger
Connected.
SQL>
==============================================================
As you can see, after the SET INSTANCE command, the connect command does not need a connect_identifier.
