Trying to Reverse Engineer SAP Setup

Hello,
I'm a junior administrator providing remote support to a computer supplies company. Years ago, their administrators set them up to use SAP NetWeaver which they access through Juniper Instant Virtual Extranet. These administrators are no longer with the company and did not leave documentation behind. As a result, my client is now looking to add a user to be able to use SAP as well.
I have no idea where to begin, and am wondering where to go for this. I do not think SAP itself has "users", so I'm thinking this is a Juniper issue, and will probably need to contact them.
If anyone has any ideas, by all means, let me know.
Thanks,
-Jason

Hi,
DB2 on iSeries is not supported natively, it's treated as third party JDBC source. So you shouldn't set database type to "DB2/..." in connection properties - set empty value on that combo box.
DB2 on iSeries supports information_schema views so in addition to standard JDBC import you'll be able to import definitions of check constraints and views.
You can use JDBC-ODBC bridge (not included in Java 8 anymore) but usually JDBC drivers are better than their ODBC counterpart, so you can try what you'll get through third party JDBC driver path:
this link could help on that Where do I download JDBC drivers for DB2 that are compatible with JDK 1.5? - Stack Overflow
1)you need to add jar files using "Tools>Preferences>Data modeler>Third party JDBC drivers"
2) set driver class in connection properties - from link above - com.ibm.as400.access.AS400JDBCDriver
3) set JDBC URL - from link above - jdbc:as400://10.10.10.10;promt=false
you need to put IP address of your database there
4) leave database type empty

ODI - Java Error when trying to reverse engineer - Hyperion Planning

Hi,
I am receiving the error below when I am attempting reverse engineer the emission members into the models tab in the ODI Designer. In topology manager I get connection successful in both Synopsis memory engine and in File technology and I have checked all my settings and everything looks correct compared to the test environment. We are actually testing the Production install with a very simple Hyperion Planning dimension build. Does anyone have any ideas why I am receiving the error below.
Thank you in advance for the help!!

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,

MOS Note 424232.1 says
Such messages are probably due to either a stale Jython cache (.../scripting/cachedir folder) and / or insufficient access privileges attributed to the Unix user account which has launched either the ODI Agent or Designer GUI and is executing a Jython script and writing to the Jython cache (default value being .../lib/scripting/cachedir/packages folder).
Alternative workarounds:
1. Stop all ODI processes and remove the cachedir folder, the restart ODI and retest the process.
2. Use a different "python.cachedir" information, on which the User has write privileges. This Java property may be set into the Jython Registry and specifies the directory used internally by Jython for cached information about Java packages in ".jar" files. If the directory is relative, it is interpreted relative to the Jython root. For complete information, refer to Jython documentation, at:
http://www.jython.org/Project/userguide.html#the-jython-registry
3. Try running Jython once as "root" in order to create the Jython cache directories or take appropriate administrative actions (for example, chmod 777....) to allow the user account to access these files.
4. Please bear in mind that Unix is case sensitive... As such, do not forget to verify lower/upper case attributes of folder names.
If the ODI process is run by an Agent and the message is displayed:
1. Please check the ODI Agent in Topology Manager to determine on which host it is running then proceed to its installation folder and ...:
2. Verify that Jython is included with the Agent installation folders:
* In oracledi\bin - jython.sh
* In oracledi\lib\scripting - jython.jar, cachedir, and lib
* In oracle\lib\scripting\lib - numerous jython .py files
3. Also give Unix user account full permissions to every file and folder in the Agent installation and the java installation.
4. Restart the Agent.
5. Test the Agent in Topology Manager (ensure that the hostname is correct). If the test is successful, retest the Package/Scenario.

EBS reverse engineer table/view names

In SQL developer I connected to EBS and created some hierarchies from these tables - fnd_flex_value_hierarchies, fnd_flex_values_tl,FND_FLEX_VALUE_CHILDREN_V
Now I am using the trying to reverse engineer in ODI using the EBS knowledge module, but I can't find these tables.
...I was told by an EBS person I should be using the above tables to build my account hierarchy...is this correct? Or are there other tables I should be using?
Thank you,
Jz

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".

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.

Reverse engineer error with Hyperion Essbase and Planning

We are getting the following error in ODI Operator (3rd step) when trying to reverse-engineer Hyperion Essbase and Planning models. com.microsoft.sqlserver.jdbc.SQLServerException: Cannot invoke a rollback operation when the AutoCommit mode is set to "true".

Hi Dmitriy,
You should upgrade to the latest patch of ODI available on metalink.oracle.com 10.1.3.4.4.
There was an issue in 10.1.3.4 ODI with the intial reverse when using SQL server. If you shutdown all the ODI UI's and then restart. And then reverse it should work correctly. But you have to make sure you shut down all ODI tools.
Thanks,

Reverse engineer custom Z reports from SAP in ODI

Hi all
We are in the process of integrating SAP to ODI. While reverse engineering, I can see only the SAP tables in the Metadata browser. Is it possible to reverse engineer the custom Z reports created by the customer? These reports typically access multiple tables.
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?

Reverse Engineer / Import Selected Objects

Hello All,
I am new to ODI tool and trying to understand, how to reverse engineer / import selected objects? I am unable to do this.
For instance, I have 10 tables in database, I want to import/reverse engineer 3 of them, how do I this in one go? I am able to do this, one by one.
Your Help is appreciated.
Thanks,
Andy.

Hi
Create a model.--> click on selective reverse engineering---> check New Datastore and object to reverse engineer. then you can select 3 tables out of 10 tables.
what do you mean by import here ?
Are you trying to import 3 tables from ODI ?
Thanks

When i reverse engineer CSV file into datastore It is not diplaying coloums

Hi All,
When am trying to do reverse engineer the CSV file in the datastore it is not displaying all the Coloums at a time.
Can anyone suggest me , how to do it
Thanks & Regards:
Vamsi

Hi,
Unfortunately there is no way of changing the delimiter from within DM. It's comma and that's it. I've logged a bug on that.
Here is a workaround though. Open CSV file with text editor and use Replace functionality.For search mode you have to select Regular Expression, Type this:
search string : (?![^(]+\)),
replace string : ;
This will replace all commas with semicolons, except those in brackets.
I've tested it with Notepad++ (it's free). I think it can be used for all opened files at same time.
Hope it helps
When exporting, could you check that null pointer exception in log file and post stack trace here? Not entire file of course, just first 20-30 lines. Thanks

ODI 11.1.1.6 unable to reverse engineer table

I created a new table and added it in the ODI repository. When I refresh the data I can see the number of rows changing so I presume that everything is ok with the connection and the driver.
The problem occurs when I try to reverse engineer columns, it prompts me to save the model and then nothing happens, I can't get the columns. I also tried with smaller table that had only one column but it still couldn't get the columns.

Hi
In that time your model is opened, if yes close it and open your model and do reverse engine, still it is showing same issue close and open you ODI studio it will come. this issue will come very rare cases.
