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,
-Amith.

SQL text parsing to obtains referenced tables and columns

I wonder if anyone has a method of scanning an SQL statement to retrieve tables and columns referenced. EG:
select
f.cola, f.colb, f.colc, b.cold
from
foo f, bar b
where
f.cola=b.cola and f.colb=b.colb
order by f.colz, b.colawould provide
Tables
foo
bar
Columns
foo.cola [SELECT] [WHERE]
foo.colb [SELECT] [WHERE]
foo.colc [SELECT]
foo.colz [ORDER BY]
bar.cola [WHERE] [ORDER BY]
bar.colb [WHERE]
bar.cold [SELECT]The reason is that I'd like to query through several SQL scripts and validate tables and columns in a new version of the ERP system exist

That query with date substitution should also work. Are you seeing some errors?

Dragging the columns to existing logical table source.....

Hi,
I am just learning OBIEE 11g and I am using a turorial from oracle it is
"Creating a Repository Using the Oracle BI 11g Administration Tool" for practice purpose.
In this tutorial it is saying that drag that columns from phscial layer to Logica Table Source
in BMM Layer to avoid creating a second logical table source.. But when I am trying to drag the columns to
existing logical source it is disabling I mean which it is not allowing .. is there any other technique to
do it... or Am i wrongly approaching.. .The below is brief description in the
tutorial.
"Drag all six columns from D50 Sales Rep in the Physical layer to D5 Sales Rep in the BMM layer. This action
creates logical columns and adds a D50 Sales Rep logical table source to D5 Sales Rep.
Rename the D50 Sales Rep logical table source to LTS1 Sales Rep.
In the Physical layer, expand D52 Sales Rep Position.
Drag POSTN_DESC and POSTN_LEVEL from D52 Sales Rep Position to LTS1 Sales Rep. Note that you are
dragging the columns to the logical table source, not the logical table. Dragging to the logical table would create a
second logical table source.
Drag DISTANCE from D51 Sales Rep Parent Child to LTS1 Sales Rep. Again, you drag the column to the logical
table source, not the logical table."
help would be appreciated.
Thanks and Regards,
Sri_Oracle.

Hi Sri,
When you are dragging a physical column onto an existing Logical table source and if it does not let you do so, then it means that there is no physical join between the existing physical table(which the logical source is pointing to already) and new physical table (from which you are dragging the column now). So, please make sure, you have the join in place.
Hope this helps.
Thank you,

Why the system create HU that already exists in table VEKP when I use BAPI_HU_CREATE?

Hi All,
When I use the BAPI_HU_CREATE to create HU, the system give me a HU and it inserts a line in Table VEKP, however when I search in table VEKP with field HU EXIDV, I find two entries with the same HU, one of them has VPOBJ 01 and the other has VPOBJ 12, So when I execute transaction LM46 the system shows “The system could not find transfer order for execution” because the system search in table VEKP it find the first line with VPOBJKEY = delivery and STATUS = 0020, however those delivery is not assigned to transfer order that I want to confirm transfer order.
Why the system create HU that already exists in table VEKP when I use BAPI_HU_CREATE?
Thank you!
Best regards

Do you want to say that you got 2 HU from BAPI_HU_CREATE?
I think you only got the one which has VPOBJ = 12 Non-Assigned Handling Unit
which is exact what the BAPI is used for, see the docu in SE37. Didn't you yourself add this EXIDV in the IDoc?
VPOBJ = 01 Outbound Delivery
If you want to pack the Outbound delivery then you should use BAPI_HU_PACK.

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 .
Thanks and Regards,
Luqman

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 .Oracle added fine grained dependency tracking in 11g, but didn't expose any views to query this information. However, it has been reverse engineered a bit: About Oracle: DBA_DEPENDENCY_COLUMNS

"This entry is already exists in tables(JDT1)(ODBC-2035)" Error.

Hi experts,
My Production_DB Database was got into Suspect mode due to power problem,the users unable to open SAP. so run the script file so production_db came into normal mode and sap opened.
But which documents were posted at the time of database going to Suspect mode that documents are not visible and then users repost the documents they are getting "This Entry is already exists in Table(JDT1) (ODBC-2035)" Error.
so we run the select query for JDT1 table in sql server 2005,we got "Msg 605, Level 21, State 3, Line 1

I am using SAP PL 20 and SQL server 2005.
I am waiting for your response ASAP.

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

"Sequence number already exists in table" maintining Data Sources

Hi fellows, i am seting up a new connector in GRC 10.0, but when configuring the connector for the User detailed Data sources i get the same error; "Sequence number already exists in table".
I have tried with over 200 numbers which I know for sure are available and still get the same error. Where can I find the table with this information?
Can the information be removed to clean up table space?
Thanks for your help!!!

Hi Gabriela
I recall getting this error a lot and it seemed to be a buffering/memory problem where it was remember the old value was getting remember. I had to exit out of the IMG navigation and reenter it again. It'd happen if I deleted one entry and then went to add another (even after saving). Not sure if you are getting this
Other thing is to check the backed tables to see if any orphaned values on the primary key

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.

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,

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

Identify source tables and columns

Hi Tom,
Have you checked Appendix D in the User Guide?
Look at "Warehouse Builder Design Repository Public Views" under Warehouse Builder Public Views.

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
