Use of public views for metadata

Hi,
I am trying to create metadata around source to target data lineage (not using the OWB provided metadata browsers). I have used some of the public views (with sql)to produce most of this. At this point however I am trying to "bring across" the original source names (as they exist on soruce systems being ETL'd by us). I noticed there are business name columns in the all_iv_columns and all_iv_tables views.
My Q's:
How does this field get populated ?
Is it the right place/reliable to capture the original source table/column names ?
Is there any doc (other than the view definitions with a brief column description for each) that would answer some of my questions above ?
Is there anything else I should be considering to create my "custom metadata queries" ?
Thank you in advance
Anthony

Anthony,
1. How does this field get populated ?
This field is populated from a private view cmpelement_v. For example, the field Business_name is the logical name and table_name is the physical name.
2. Is it the right place/reliable to capture the original source table/column names ?
Physical names are more reliable than logical names for lineage because physical names are unique. I suggest using public views instead of private views because there is documentation.
Is there any doc (other than the view definitions with a brief column description for each) that would answer some of my questions above ?
No, the Public API Guide is the only available guide.
Have you considered using the Warehouse Builder Browser as a stand alone browser? It is no longer required to have iAS server to use both the Runtime Audit Browser and the Design browser. Check the Warehouse Builder install guide for details.

Public Views for the Design Environment

Hi,
I want to select Information from the Public Views for the Design Environment. I need details from the mappings, but can not found the informations.
I can't found it in all_iv_xform_maps and all_iv_xform_map_components.
I build a mapping and user some Functions in the mapping (Transform Operators). Now I want to select the location Information of such an operator.
In detail I need:
1) Right Click on a mapping
2) click configure
3) collapse Transform Operators
3) collapse a function
4)I need the Information under Location.
Sometimes in my mappings there is "Unkown value" and I want to select from the Public Views for the Design Environment these entries.
Can some one help me?
Thanks
Carsten

1.) What do you mean by "start" them? You select from a view just as you would a table. If the view is there and you have permissions, it is available to you. As to where to find them, they are owned by either your repository owner or repository manager user - depending on how you have set things up. But any user registered as an OWB user will have synonyms pointing to the views for the repository to which it is registered.
So, when you have defined a source or target Oracle Schema and registered it as an OWB user, you can simply "select * from all_rt_audit_objects" or whatever else as that user when you want to get information from the views.
2) None of your user-defined tables use these views. These views are pre-packaged select statements against the tables in the OWB repository to make it simpler for you to extract information about your metadata, deployments, and executions of the objects you have created in a given repository. Using a tool like TOAD, Oracle SQL Developer, SQL*Navigator, or whatever other Oracle development tool you use, you should be able to get the source for these views if you want to understand how they are collecting data for you.

Can i still use Fast Web View for PDF/A files?

Can i still use Fast Web View for PDF/A files?
In other words, just becasue I am using PDF/A, can I still select the page i need in a long document and see it before the entire file has loaded?

macjack has a very valid point, so you might want to consider a second drive for files.
To partition, you need to boot into the Recovery Volume (command - R) on restart. Select Disk Utility.
Step 1 - select the hard drive.
Step 2 - select the Partition tab.
Step 3 - select the current partition and then use the lower right corner to push up and resize the partition.
Step 4 - click the plus sign to add a partition. Then select the new partition.
Step 5 - Name the new partition and select the format. The one shown in the screen shot is generally recomended.
Step 6 - Hit apply.
This procedure can be reversed at a later date if you find your Time Machine backup needs more space.

How can I have a use a variable view for a Popover in Xcode Applescript-ObjC?

I'm adding Popovers to my application, but I have it coming from buttons in different views. One button might be in a Tab-View, and one in the main window. If I specify the wrong view, the Popover is off to the left and down, like the image below:
Here's my code:
on OpenPopover_(sender)
Popover's showRelativeToRect_ofView_preferredEdge_(sender's frame(), MainWindow's contentView(), current application's NSMaxYEdge)
end OpenPopover_
How can I use a variable view or not specify the view at all so that the buttons can be in different views without having to use multiple pieces of code, using Applescript-ObjC, Xcode?

You are using the content view of the entire window instead of whatever view the button is in - the frame rectangles are relative to the view it is in.
The method parameters are a rectangle that is relative to the view (to position the popover), the view containing the rectangle, and the edge of the rectangle to use. To position relative to a button, you can get the button's superview (the containing view), for example:
popover's showRelativeToRect_ofView_preferredEdge_(sender's frame(), sender's superview(), current application's NSMaxYEdge)

Using one public ip for ssh`ing to different internal servers using port-redirections

Hi, we are having a requirement to use the same public IP to ssh into different internal servers using port re-direction. So lets say from outside, if a user does ssh @ root 4.4.4.4 2222, it should go to a sshsrv1 and then ssh @ root 4.4.4.4 2223 to sshsrv2
My config is like this:-
object network sshsrv1
host 10.110.100.10
nat (inside,Outside) static 4.4.4.4 service tcp 22 2222
And then i allowed the object "sshsrv1" in my inbound acl from outside.
It dosen`t seem to work. Is this doeable?
Any suggestions??

Hi,
Would need to see your NAT configurations.
There is a possibility that you have a NAT configuration that might be preventing this from working. Then again you are using an extra public IP address for this so it seems strange.
Could you try the "packet-tracer" command
packet-tracer input outside tcp 12345 2222
This should tell us if there is some problem in the ASA configurations.

Using different configured views for different user group in crm2007

Hello SAP Expert,
Want to clarify if the BADI (Configuration Access Determination BADI ; BSP_DLC_ACCESS_ENHANCEMENT) is used as design time or Run time. By looking the help of this BADI it says "This Business Add-In (BAdI) is used in the UI Configuration Tool (CRM-FRW-CON) component." Looks like this is at configuration time not at run time.
The actual requirement is that for a set of users which work on a particular department, we want to have some extra information on 2 views and rest of the views they would be using same as entire organization. We are inclined towards using config role rather than zviews. If we were to use zviews then it would not be a difficult one.
We were thinking of a mechanism to show the configured view based on user's Business Role at runtime. e.g. we have 2 roles A and B. Role A user have only 2 views specific to them and all other views they use same as Role B. We do not want to use ZView rather use Role Config Key to distinguish the views. What I was thinking that we should be able to create these 2 views with Config Role A and all views (including these 2) with Config Role B. On Business Role A and Business Role B both, We will assign Config Role "B". but at runtime system should determine if the Business Role is A and Component is CMP1 then use the view V1 with Config Role A not the default view with config role B. (we can maintain that information in a Z table). This is not based on runtime profile but to use configured view at runtime.
Any thoughts/ help really appreciated.
Best regards,

Hi Amithab,
you can use badi CRM_BP_UIU_VIEW_CONFIG of enhancement spot CRM_UIU_BP_ENHANCEMENT for your requirements. Please read the badi documentation because you need also a implementation of badi CRM_BP_UIU_CONFIG_CALLBACK (same spot). SAP considers badi CRM_BP_UIU_VIEW_CONFIG only for use at dynamically loading different configuartions of view details for business partners or contact persons at runtime. But you can use your badi implementation also for other views. You have to redefine method DO_CONFIG_DETERMINATION in your views. And call your badi from there. For this copy&paste the logic of DO_CONFIG_DETERMINATION of bp details to the views you have to load dynamically at runtime.
We have used this approach for access controll and granting special access to views dependent on different employee functions.
Best regards

Using the Log Viewer for two systems on same host

We have two Portal systems installed on the same host server. The log viewer only identifies and displays the log files from one of the systems (A). This is the case even though I started the log viewer while logged on as the <sid>adm for system (B).
In the configuration of the Log Viewer, I do not see an option to have it add another "system" to the local host.
How can I configure the log viewer to display logs from both systems installed on the same host?
Thanks,
Bob

Bob,
with the port you can distinguis between the servers. both portals should have unique ports on the same server.
for you relevant is the P4-port.
these settings work for remote servers:
Name: <SID>
Host name: <hostname of server>
Port: <P4 Port, normally 5<SysNr>04>, you can check this at: http://<host>:<port>/sap/monitoring/SystemInfo under the Dispatcher infos
Connection: J2EE
User: <admin user>
Password: <admin user password>

Important! Please use the public forum for your questions!

Dear forum visitors,
Please always use the forum mechanism to ask technical, workflow and creative questions and do not contact me and other Community Experts or Adobe employees with private messages. We all appreciate your trust and respect for our work, but there are two things you should consider:
- Just like you, we all have a "normal" life. Sending private messages does not accelerate the process, if we are not around. Just like I was not here the last 24 hours 'cos I was visiting my grandmother and then dancing the night away, others have children and a family to take care of. And I think a bit of sleep is okay every now and then, too.
- Results from private messages are not covered by the search engine and archiving mechanism for apparent reasons. Therfore at some point that info will be lost and future visitors looking for help will not be able to find it, meaning that we will have to answer the same questions over and over. This can of course not always be avoided, but in the interest of everyone, we should try to cut down redundancy and spent our time as efficiently as we can. Personally I don't get paid for this, so I'm investing my spare time. Again, I think doing a few other things in it instead of constantly monitoring forums would be okay...
Thanks for your understanding.

How do I use google street view for ipad and iPhone on ios 6 to 6.1.3?

I don't think there are any other ways to find google street view of roads and places even If I surf on the Internet. Please help.

To get StreetView on your iPhone, download the Google Maps app.

Why does iphone 5 not use whole screen viewing for videos also when using iplayer app it only works on iphone 4 screen settings. why can we not have whole screen displaying image.

I have a iphone 5, I was dissapointed that when watching iplayer the screen settings are same as iphone 4 so end user has no joy enjoying the big screen , I have noticed youtube does the same,

It hasent been updated to support iphone 5 screen size yet, it will come in time.

Using public views to check function implementation

Hi All,
I'm trying to use some public views to check whether the repositories of Development, Acceptance and Production are in sync.
In order to check the functions and procedures, I came up with the following query to have a simple comparison mechanism:
SELECT f.function_type
, f.schema_name
, f.function_name
, LENGTH(i.SCRIPT) script_length
FROM all_iv_functions f
, all_iv_function_impls i
WHERE f.FUNCTION_ID = i.FUNCTION_ID
Unfortunatly I get an error message:
ORA-06502: PL/SQL: numeric or value error: character string buffer too small
ORA-06512: at "OWB_OWNER.OWM_VIEW_UTILITIES", line 572
ORA-06502: PL/SQL: numeric or value error: character string buffer too small
The same error occurs when I try to view data of all_iv_function_impls in TOAD.
Checked the viewdef, it selects (among others) the following:
OWM_VIEW_UTILITIES.FUNCTION_SCRIPT(im.elementid) AS script.
Of course the package body is wrapped so no way to see what's happening in there.
I tried a search on this problem, no result.
I did a general search on OWM_VIEW_UTILITIES, but no results.
Checked Metalink, only Note 237082.1 mentions this package but doesn't clarify the situation.
Any suggestions?
Cheers, Patrick

Language Setting for - Hyperion Smart View for Office

Hi,
Here's a scenario I need to find an answer to.
1. We have Essbase system 9 installed on a machine named: USESSSRVR and here the ESSLANG environment variable is set to "English_UnitedStates.US-ASCII@Binary".
2. We build two Unicode cubes, one for Korea Sales called APPKR.SALESCUB & other for Turkey Sales called APPTR.SALESCUB
3. Korean users are sitting in Korea & Turkey users are in Turkey & both these users need to see data in their local languages.
4. Since Essbase Excel Add-In is not compatible with Unicode cubes, we have asked them to use "Hyperion Smart View for Office".
Now question is,
-> Where in this entire system do I need to do Language Settings so that they see their characters correctly?
-> Is there a place in Smart View where you can set languages?
-> Also we have a limitation that we need to have both the applications APPKR & APPTR on the same Essbase server which is in US.
PLEASE HELP.
Thanks.

It's actually because you are installing over an old version. Uninstall SV, review the registry entries and directories and then reinstall with admin priv.
Of course when I looked it up on support the Oracle ID 1466433.1 suggests that the .net install is corrupt so was i going mad? Not beyond reasonable doubt since I put in an SR a while back about it so I have proof that it is listed as an " "internal bug #14149839 : "SMART VIEW EXTENSION ACTIVATOR OBJECT (-2147467262) This is reported for excel 2010" has been raised with development team. As per the update from the bug this issue has been addressed in patch 11.1.2.2.310 which is yet to be released."
So if you are on an earlier version of Office possibly is because of the .net install (which I think needs v3.5, at least for Office2003), but I would try do a clean install first.

Team viewer for non managers

Hi Experts,
I have been trying to use the team viewer for a person who is a member of an org. unit. Not a chief.
All the chief of org. unit are seeing their employees without any problem.
Is it possible to allow the functionality to non chiefs also.
Can any body guide on this issue.
Thanks!

Not saying I can analyze your log but have a suggestion that might be of help. I use Teamviewer a lot. It has not crashed on me yet on SL.
The one time I had a problem of it not connecting at all was solved by trashing the plist file. You can find it here user/Library/preferences/com.teamviewer.settings.plist
Drag it out of the folder and onto your desktop, log out, log back in. Start Teamviewer and see if it helps. If not, you can always drag it back and replace the new plist file that was created.
