Tables and Columns used in Universe (BO 6.5)

Hi All,
Please help me out with the below queries:
1. Is there any automated way to find out which report is using which universe? (may be through a SQL fired in BO repository)
(Note: As per the BO Documentation, OBJ_X_DOCUMENTS This is the only table in the document domain. It stores the binary content of all documents sent to the repository (through the user actions Publish to corporate documents, Send to users or Send to Broadcast Agent). The document contents are stored as BLOBs (Binary Large Objects) stored in slices.)
2. I need to identify the universes which use certain tables and columns.
I fired the following SQL in BO repository:
SELECT
UNV_UNIVERSE.UNI_FILENAME,
UNV_UNIVERSE.UNI_LONGNAME,
UNV_TABLE.TAB_NAME,
UNV_COLUMNS.COLUMN_NAME
FROM UNV_UNIVERSE, UNV_TABLE,UNV_COLUMNS
WHERE
UNV_UNIVERSE.UNIVERSE_ID = UNV_TABLE.UNIVERSE_ID
AND UNV_TABLE.TABLE_ID = UNV_COLUMNS.TABLE_ID
But as 'UNV_COLUMNS' table is empty, no data is returned. My question is is this table supposed to be empty in BO repository?
Is there any other way to find out this (identify the universes which use certain tables and columns)?
Many Thanks & Regards,
Sandeep

Sql query parsing (retrieve tables and columns used in query)

Hi,
1. Is there any view in Oracle which can tell me, which tables and columns were used in the last ran query, no matter how complex the query is.
2. Secondly I can get table names, used in stored procedures and views, using USER_DEPENDENCIES VIEW, however this System View does not return column names, used in that procedure / view, any idea please .

Retrieve tables and column names in a universe

Hi - Is there a way to retrieve tables and columns used in a given universe? We have to do analysis and need to know the tables as well as fields used anywhere in any object defined in the universe.
I tried Query Builder and did some selection on ci_infoobjects and ci_appobjects; they don't seem to have that kind of information.
Please advise.
Thanks

Using of already existing logical tables and columns in a new subject area.

Hi Every one,
i am new to OBIEE technology.
In my project i need to create a new subject area for already existing RPD.
In that RPD there are some logical tables and column created for previous project and i need to use those in this new subject area that i am going to create.
My question is what is the best way to use them .
I mean just to drag and drop them into new subject area or any other way.
please have your valuable suggestions
thanking you

Yes, you can basically copy paste all the tables that you need from BMM layer into your new folder in the presentation layer. Just make sure all the joins are defined well between all the tables that exists in the new folder, so you wont end up running into ODBC errors when you run analysis.
Hope this helps.
Thanks,

Including table and column comment in the Data Modeler

Hi all,
I used Oracle's SQL Developer Data Modeler (Version 3.0.0.665) and created a data model for my project. I e-mailed a PDF format of the data model to our Systems Analyst. She asked if I could re-create the data model and include table and column comments. Is this a possibility and if so how is this done?
Thank you for your input,
Seyed

Hi Kent,
Using the information you provided and Oracle’s Working with SQL Developer Modeler Reporting I did the following:
1) Created a Reporting Schema User
1.1) Using my Oracle 10g Personal Edition, I created a new user and gave him DBA administrative privileges
2) Exported Relational Design to Reporting Schema
2.1) Opened the Relational Design
2.2) Exported it to the Reporting Schema. Note, I never got a message ‘Design has been exported successfully’.
3) Reviewed the Report Results
I think exporting the relational design was not successful, and didn’t get any error messages. Had step 2 completed successfully, I would have reviewed the Report Results in SQL Developer. By the way, I know I have marked this topic as closed, but would like to learn your method too.
Thank you for your help,
Seyed

Parse SQL query and extract source tables and columns

Hello,
I have a set of SQL queries and I have to extract the source tables and columns from them.
For example:
Let's imagine that we have two tables
CREATE TABLE T1 (col1 number, col2 number, col3 number)
CREATE TABLE T2 (col1 number, col2 number, col3 number)
We have the following query:
SELECT
T1.col1,
T1.col2 + T1.col3 as field2
FROM T1 INNER JOIN T2 ON T1.col2=T2.col2
WHERE T2.col1 = 1
So, as a result I would like to have:
Order Table Column
1 T1 col1
2 T1 col2
2 T1 col3
Optionally, I would like to have a list of all dependency columns (columns used in "ON", "WHERE" and "GROUP BY" clauses:
Table Column
T1 col2
T2 col1
T2 col2
I have tried different approaches but without any success. Any help is appreciated. Thank you in advance.
Best regards,
Beroetz

Toplink changes table and columns to uppercase

I found a way to make toplink not to change table and columns to upercase with setShouldForceFieldNamesToUpperCase=false setting (which should be false be default but so some reason isn't.)
However, when toplink is used with JSF how can setShouldForceFieldNamesToUpperCase be set to false? Is there a way to do it in persistence.xml or perhaps there is a better way altogether? (I know i can use @Table and @Column but that is a lot of redundant code if all the fields in java have exact match in DB and i am looking for a cleaner solution.)
My setup is a follows
toplink v2-b49
mysql 5.0 (with 5.0.5 driver)
servlet/jsp 2.5/2.1
jsf 1.2
tomcat 6.0.13
Thanks

Thanks Doug
I Created that class with
     public void customize(Session session) throws Exception {
          session.getDatasourceLogin().getPlatform().setShouldForceFieldNamesToUpperCase(false);
But that doesn't help. Then I checked if it is being set correcly and saw that it is false even before I set it, so the default works as advertised and the var is false.
So i guess this is not the problem. Any idea what can cause it?
here is the class
@Entity
@Table(schema="jpaTABLE")
public class User {
     @Id
     private int ID;
     private String Name;
     private String Password;
     private String Status;
public User() {}
geters...
setters...
here is the code
Query q = em.createQuery("SELECT u FROM User u WHERE u.Name = :name AND u.Password = :password");
here is the error

Identify source tables and columns

I would appreciate it if someone could point me toward an OWB table(s) or view(s) that will identify which source tables and columns are being used as input to an OWB map.
Thanks,

Hi Tom,
Have you checked Appendix D in the User Guide?
Look at "Warehouse Builder Design Repository Public Views" under Warehouse Builder Public Views.
Not sure whether you can find the distinction between source or target though.
Good luck, Patrick

Capture DB Table and column comments when creating new Business Area/Folder

Does anyone know if it is possible to pull the DB table and column comments into Discoverer when creating new Business Area/Folders? Our developers take the time to put the information in the Db data dictionary and we would like to leverage it (reduce need for manually adding descriptions) ... has anyone done this?
If there isn't a way to automatically do it, would there be any harm in using a sql script to populate the description fields from the DB data dictionary directly into the EUL tables appropriate?
I have been searching through documentation and forums for information - with no luck at this point.
Thanks!

Hi Seymour
You can add column comments to views as well, as this example will show:
CREATE OR REPLACE FORCE VIEW MY_SEQUENCE
(SEQ_ID, SEQ_NAME, SEQ_NEXTVAL)
AS
SELECT "SEQ_ID","SEQ_NAME","SEQ_NEXTVAL" FROM EUL5_SEQUENCES;
COMMENT ON COLUMN MY_SEQUENCE.SEQ_NAME IS 'The sequence';
So you could add the comments at the view level and then refresh Discoverer.
Best wishes
Michael

When will Excel Support Tabular Model Table and Column Descriptions via Tool Tip or other display mechanism

I have noticed that SSMS supports tool tips for the Tabular Model (tables and columns) however Excel 2013 doesn't appear to. This is a very important feature to our end users.
Does anyone know when this will be supported?
Thanks
M Meyer

Hi Meyer,
According to your description, you want to use the tooltip function in Microsoft Excel for the SQL Server Analysis Services Tabular model, right?
I have tested it on my local environment (Microsoft SQL Server 2012 SP1 and Excel 2013), the result is that the feature is not supported currently. It's hard to say the detail date when this will be supported. If this feature is enabled, Microsoft will announce
it on the document.
Besides, if you have any concern about this behavior, you can submit a feedback at
http://connect.microsoft.com/SQLServer/Feedback and hope it is resolved in the next release of service pack or product. Your feedback enables Microsoft to make software and services the best that
they can be, Microsoft might consider to add this feature in the following release after official confirmation.

List tables and column names a stored procedure is querying

Hello,
Is there a way to list tables and column names that a stored procedure is querying, i.e, selecting from, using T-SQL? If yes, is there a way to also show data types for the columns that a stored procedure is querying, i.e, selecting from?
Thank you,
Lenfinkel

One way to view the dependencies of an object is to use SSMS; navigate to the object, right click and select "view dependencies". However this does not tell you what columns are being referenced by the Stored Procedure.
One way to view what is being referenced by a stored procedure is to run something like
select
text
from syscomments
where
id in
(select id
from sysobjects
where
name
=[Your Object Name]
And xtype
in
('p','P')

Can we hide the tables and columns from subject areas in the front end

Hi,
Is there any way to hide the tables and columns from the subject area in front end.I need to create a report with some tables which the user does not want to see.So after creating the reprot can I hide those tables and columns in the front end

Hi,
Your question is not that clear to me...do you want to hide the entire table/column that dont want to show up in the front end then you could do in Presneation Layer in the RPD by going Permissions in the property of that object.
But if you want to hide the column in the report that can be visible in the subject Area: go to column properties -> Column fomat...thereis Hide option.
Can you please elaborate your question...what exactly you are looking for...

List of SQL tables and attributes used in SSRS reports

Hi,
I have around 450-500 reports deployed in SSRS reporting server.
All these reports are built on SQL from multiple databases, and these databases are having unnecessary tables and attributes.
My requirement is to clean the unused tables and attributes from the databases. For this, I need the list of SQL tables and attributes used in these 450-500 SSRS reports.
Is there any way to get this data?
Regards,
RK

Hi RK,
According to your description, you want to get a list of the tables and attributes used in all reports.
In your scenario, you can query the ReportServer.dbo.Catalog table to get Report name, data source name, dataset name, and query used in the dataset with query below:
WITH XMLNAMESPACES ( DEFAULT 'http://schemas.microsoft.com/sqlserver/reporting/2010/01/reportdefinition', 'http://schemas.microsoft.com/SQLServer/reporting/reportdesigner' AS rd )
SELECT ReportName = name
,DataSetName = x.value('(@Name)[1]', 'VARCHAR(250)')
,DataSourceName = x.value('(Query/DataSourceName)[1]','VARCHAR(250)')
,CommandText = x.value('(Query/CommandText)[1]','VARCHAR(250)')
,Fields = df.value('(@Name)[1]','VARCHAR(250)')
,DataField = df.value('(DataField)[1]','VARCHAR(250)')
,DataType = df.value('(rd:TypeName)[1]','VARCHAR(250)')
--,ConnectionString = x.value('(ConnectionProperties/ConnectString)[1]','VARCHAR(250)')
FROM ( SELECT C.Name,CONVERT(XML,CONVERT(VARBINARY(MAX),C.Content)) AS reportXML
FROM ReportServer.dbo.Catalog C
WHERE C.Content is not null
AND C.Type = 2
) a
CROSS APPLY reportXML.nodes('/Report/DataSets/DataSet') r ( x )
CROSS APPLY x.nodes('Fields/Field') f(df)
ORDER BY name

Get description of tables and columns

Good afternoon.
Is there any option in SAP B1 to get a description of table and column dynamically? That is, without the "Tools -> Queries -> Query Generator"?
I am developing an add-on, which lists all the tables and columns of the sap, and I have to bring the descriptions automatically. If you do not have to get the SDK route descriptions, as you suggest doing this?
Edited by: Harley Rodrigues on Feb 1, 2012 9:38 PM

Hi Harley,
Welcome to the Forum!
please refer to your SDK Help. you can find it from this path C:\Program Files\SAP\SAP Business One SDK\Help
also alternatively you can view it from your MS SQL Server Management under Databases

How can I change (Data) and Test to add variables "MyData" and "MyData2".
Thanks.
