Using Designer to perform reverse engineering for Adabas entities

Hi Experts,
Customer will migrate from Adabas to Oracle db. Is it possible to use designer to perform reverse engineering for entities of Adabas?
Thanks for your help in advance.
Queenie

If there is an ODBC driver for Adabas, it MAY be possible, though I have never had an Adabas database to try it on. I know that Adabas isn't natively a relational database using SQL, which is what Designer's Design Capture utility expects, so it will work through ODBC or not at all.

I can see the table I want to reverse from when going into the the tab "Selective Reverse" but it the reverse fails with the error message above.
I would really appreciate any help on this topic. I am using MYSQL Server 5.1 and ODI 10.1.3.5.
Thanks in advance

Hello,
it seems to be working now. The only change I did was to increase the java heap size, but it feels a bit strange that it should have anything to do with the problem in question.
Anyway thanks very much for your help.

Reverse engineering for existing database

Hi,
I have two different databases, one with my application (i.e. DB1), and the other with the designer installation (i.e.DB2).
I want to get the Reverse Engineering of my app in DB1, and I know these steps:
- Design Editor> DB Admin tab> Generate> Capture design of > Server Model.
OK, but I get the "Create Database user" form, and the database and user name as "DEFAULT".
What do I have to do?
I just want designer to reverse engineer my DB1, and I think that it will store that meta info in the DB2. Am I correct?
I have created a new workarea and container for that purpose, but should I create a "Oracle database" before capturing the server model? and that database, should be the DB1 or the DB2? both are already created, so I think that I need just the connection.
thanks.

You've basically got this right - DB1 is the database you are capturing from and DB2 contains the Designer repository into which the metadata is being captured.
Designer wants to have a database definition and a schema definition in the repository to which it can attach your table definitions. In the Design Editor use the DB Admin tab to get to a place where you can create a database definition. Create an Oracle data definition for your application database (DB1) and create a schema definition (aka User) in that database to own your tables. Then those will appear as options in the Capture design of Server Model wizard.
Yes, I know - a lot of steps for what seems to be a simple task - reverse engineer an existing database. That's Designer for you. This is one of the reasons that I say that if ALL you want is to see your database in a server model diagram, Designer is overkill. But Designer can do SO MUCH more than that - if you want to fully use it, the annoyances are worth it.

Unable to Perform Reverse Engineering, of Hyperion Planning in ODI 11.1.1.6

Dear Gurus and Experts.
I'm trying to reverse engineer had made a model of the Hyperion Planning.
After configuring the topology.
Steps:
A)
Physical Architecture:
machine.mycompany.com: 11333, user / pdw (here's Hyperion Planning)
Physical Layout:
Catalog Application - I wrote: myapphp
Implementation and Application of Work - I wrote: myapphp
1_doubt: I expected to be able to select the physical layout, the field catalog application, an application name that is in Hyperion Planning.
But I saw that does not work well. I had to enter.
is this right? or just this wrong in my settings?
B)
Logical Architecture:
Context: Global
Associated with LS_HP_myapp
C)
In Contexts:
Global, contains the association.
logical scheme: LS_HP_myapp for Physical Schema: myapphp
D)
In Designer.
I want to reverse engineer;
Criated a folder, added a model;
name: mymodelhp, selected technology: hyperion planning
logical schema: LS_HP_myapp
em group of generic actions.
Saved.
E)
And clicked on Reverse Engineering
Then the error ODI: 20616 Failed Reverse Engineering Standard.

ODI Reverse engineering for Oracle technology Custom views

We are using ODI (10.1.3.6) version and database oracle 11g.
Here we are trying to do reversing tables and views from oracle EBS database (11g).we used apps schema for database details. for oracle technology in the physical arch.
But views or tables are not visible to do reverse for oracle technology.
We have crated model and select the technology as oracle and corresponding logical schema , in the Reverse Tab we selected Standard ,selected views ,tables options and moved to select reverse Tab, and selected the 3 options of new datastore , existing.
But views or tables are not visible at all.
Please Anybody help me on this.
Thanks,
SRI

Hi,
Instead of Standard reverse go for Custom reverse and use RKM E-Business Suite for this purpose.

Reverse engine for template

Hello friends,
I have a dumb question. Sometimes I created a page but I can't repeat it. sometimes I saw a good example but don't know how to re-create them. Is there a way to "reverse engine" a page or region to see how it can be easily recreated by template, configured etc.?
Thanks,
Ben

Hi,
I think i'm not quite sure if i do understand your question.
You can always see how the region and the templates are built, but this is if you can edit the page. The source of the templates resides on your apache mod-pl/sql server.
If you want to re-create the page, just export "the page" and then copy it again. About the regions, well i think it is easier, when you got every thing (when it becomes to be a pl/sql region) on a packaged procedure or function.

Mapping reverse engineered tables to entities

I would like to know how to 1) create the backwards links between tables created in Designer by importing DDL to logical entities in the ERD, 2) identify where in the Designer repository the information that shows up in the Entity.Description, Attribute.Description, Attribute.Notes, visible on properties sheet within RON, is stored

I'm actually not wanting to reverse engineer tables to entities, which is what I believe would be accomplished by the recommendation given. I am trying to establish links (basically, populate sdd_tabent) for tables that I have created by running DDL into Designer to entities that are already in Designer. The reason we are using the DDL, rather than forward engineering the table from the entities, is that there are enough differences from the logical to physical, and the DDL is being reused from an existing system.
I did find out the answer to my 2nd question. All text can be viewed via the cdi_text view; selecting by TXT_TYPE and ELEMENT_TYPE_FOR will give the combinations I was looking for

What kind of COBOL Application are you trying to reverse engineer? COBOL/DB2/VSAM/CICS/JCL etc....

Iview capable of performing reverse proxy for application integration.

Is there a iview in EP capable of reverse proxying a web application. We are attempting to setup
our production landscape. We can of course use apache to reverse proxy applications hidden behind our dmz by punching a bunch of holes through our firewall. This is not something we wish wish to do as it totally circumvents the safety imposed by our firewalls and dmz. Not having this capability causes all sorts of difficulties with application integration, cross domain scripting issues as well as administrative burden by having to maintain, secure and expose these internally hosted applications.
If this functionality does not exist in out of the box EP, does anyone know a third
party that offers this?
Thanks
Cliff Baeseman

Cliff,
I am not sure I understood your question correctly.
EP is an application running on NetWeaver Application Server. This AS has a component called as Web dispatcher which works like a reverse proxy but isn't meant to proxy applications running on a different server other than NetWeaver AS.
Where is your web application deployed?
More info needed.
Regards,
Kiran

Error in Reverse Engineering an XML file

I am tring to set up ODI to read and XML file and post it to a DB.
I am using Oracle Data Integrator 10.1.3.5
I have set up the Connection in the Topology Manager and when I ran the Test it returned OK.
I went to the Model tab in the Designer and tried to Reverse engineer the file. I followed the instruction int he User's Guide but I get an error:
The Technology or the Driver used doesn not support Reverse Engineering. The User's guide says you can do it, but Designer tells me I can't.
Has anyone received this error before and how can i get around it.
I am using:
com.sunopsis.jdbc.driver.xml.SnpsXmlDriver
as the JDBC Driver. THat is the one used in the guide and example.

Apache as a reverse proxy for E-recruiting

We are trying to use apache as a reverse procy for e-recruting. The call to the web proxy is being forwareded correctly but whereas if the page is opened directly on the e-recruiting box it opens a page with a bsp generated logon screen, when using the portal it generates a window dialog for logon and i the get the following message :
BSP Exception: Das Objekt sap/bc/bsp/sap/hrrcf_start_int/sap/bc/bsp/sap/hrrcf_start_int/application.do in der URL /sap/bc/bsp/sap/hrrcf_start_int/sap/bc/bsp/sap/hrrcf_start_int/sap/bc/bsp/sap/hrrcf_start_int/application.do?sap-client=100&sap-language=EN&BspClient=100&BspLanguage=EN&rcfSpId=0003&rcfContext=LMUGEN ist nicht gültig.
Has anyone done apache as a proxy for e-recruting who can share an example or offer any advice?
Thanks

Hi Richard,
you can take this link as a starting point: /people/sap.user72/blog/2006/04/18/the-reverse-proxy-series--part-32-apache-as-a-complex-reverse-proxy
In your case it seems to me that "/sap/bc/bsp/sap/hrrcf_start_int" gets concatenated 2 more times in your URL than it should.
That looks like a loop resp. an apache directive which gets executed too often.

Using OIM Workflow to Manage Requests for ORM

Has anyone used OIM as a workflow engine for users to request creation (not approval) of new roles in ORM? If so, what types of information are presented to the requestor (e.g., list of IT Roles)? What types of information are solicited from the requestor?

Let me clarify my need.
When a manager in a business line identifies the need for a new business role, I need a workflow mechanism by which they can request a new role be created in ORM and specify the IT Roles that should comprise that business role. This request step is separate from the actual role definition itself that would occur in ORM after the request was approved.

Using accrual engine for reversal of month end provisions

Hello everyone,
I am working on a requirement to set up accrual engine for automatic reversal of month end provisions (like electricity expense provision at month end which will be reversed on first day of next month).
I understand that accrual engine is meant for handling accruals and deferrals. But having seen the manual option of FBS1 and F.81, I felt there must be an option in the accrual engine also to handle provisions and their reversal. Also, I saw some comments in this forum that using accrual engine it is possible to automatically reverse the postings.
So I set up a test scenario in sandbox client with basic configuration for Manual Accruals (accrual type, methods, object category, number ranges, account determination)
After that I created an accrual object which automatically created an FI document for the provision entry. So far it is fine and working as expected. Now, for reversing the document, I see two options:
1) Reverse entire accrual run; or
2) Reverse the accrual object.
By reversing the accrual object, I was able to post a reversal FI document. I am not sure whether reversal of entire accrual run is right option since SAP help recommends to use this in case wrong key date was used.
But both options require manual execution for reversal.
Am I missing some other option? Is there any other option/setting in the accrual engine where it is possible to set up automatic reversal of a month end provision? Only if this is not feasible, I would look at other solutions (like FBS1+F.81 or FBS1+background job for F.81).
Any inputs/pointers from the learned members will be highly appreciated.
Thanks in advance,
Raghu

Hello Raghu,
As far as I know, all clients I worked with preferred using "FBS1+background job for F.81" as they found this more flexible (adapt job variant and possible dynamic selection), easy to maintain and well understood by accountants (rather than using accrual type, methods, object category...)
