View Join Path

Does anyone know of a way to view the join path between tables without having to look at an ER diagram. I'm fairly new to this specific schema and need to pull a report but I'm finding that I need to join way more than the tables being returned in the output. I want to be able to see the relationships based on what I need to pull.

You can see the relationship between tables in the view dba_constraints:
select * from dba_constraints
where owner = '<user>'
and constraint_type in ('P', 'R');Bye, Aron

Referenced join path ___ does not have table '$2$' as endpoint

Hi,
We are trying to make one of our first views. I joined the schema in attach.
The first part is a join between 3 tables: FMIFIIT and 2 dependent tables for further information.
For the second part I made an analytical view on FMIFIIT making totals based on 3 secondary key fields.
I would like to join the first view with the second one, so I can add total amounts to every detail line.
But I always get an error when activating the analytical view:
<detail>
<element>cubeSchema -> cubes -> cube (_SYS_BIC:kul.testing.kcl/AN_FMIFIIT_2/olap) -> characteristics -> dimension (BLDAT)</element>
<code>41</code>
<message>Referenced join path 'DATA_SLT_D11220:FMIFIHD' does not have table '$2$' as endpoint</message>
</detail>
I seems as if all 3 tables need to be fact-tables, and as I look at the definition that is not the case:
<cubeTables>
<cubeTable name="DATA_SLT_D11220:FMIFIHD" type="d-table"/>
<cubeTable name="DATA_SLT_D11220:FMIFIIT" type="f-table"/>
<cubeTable name="DATA_SLT_D11220:PRPS" type="d-table"/>
</cubeTables>
Is this 'TYPE' influenced by the presence of measures in it? And do all tables need to have measures in it?
<measures>
<measure name="FKBTR" table="DATA_SLT_D11220:FMIFIIT" column="FKBTR" aggregationType="sum" isVisible="true"/>
<calculatedMeasure name="TOTBEDRAG" aggregationType="sum" isVisible="true" calculateBeforeAggregation="false" datatype="fixed" length="13" scale="2">
<formula>"FKBTR"</formula>
</calculatedMeasure>
<calculatedMeasure name="BEDRAG54" aggregationType="sum" isVisible="true" calculateBeforeAggregation="false" datatype="fixed" length="13" scale="2">
<formula>if("WRTTP"=''54'',"FKBTR",0)</formula>
</calculatedMeasure>
<calculatedMeasure name="BEDRAG57" aggregationType="sum" isVisible="true" calculateBeforeAggregation="false" datatype="fixed" length="13" scale="2">
<formula>if("WRTTP"=''57'',"FKBTR",0)</formula>
</calculatedMeasure>
</measures>
Can anyone advice on how I can solve this issue? It might be a issue with my design.
Thanks a lot.

ORA-12008: error in materialized view refresh path with ORA-01652

I have a temp tablespace with 2 tempfiles of 2GB each (total 4GB) but still refresh of materialized view is failing with following error:
5646690 - BIS Materialized View Refresh Program
ORA-12008: error in materialized view refresh path

My question is how do I find out how much space I need for temp tablespace. what 's the best practise to size temp tablespace when running refresh. refresh is done by client who is submitting a request thru ebiz apps so I 'd like to size it correctly without having to keep guessing.
Thanks so much in advance for any help

Hello,
Temp tablespace size depends how much sort by , order by operation your application performing. You can create new temp tablespace and drop old one with bigger file size
CREATE TEMPORARY TABLESPACE TEMP02 TEMPFILE '\mypath_to_temp\TEMP02' SIZE 256M REUSE AUTOEXTEND ON NEXT 256M MAXSIZE 8192M EXTENT MANAGEMENT LOCAL;
ALTER DATABASE DEFAULT TEMPORARY TABLESPACE TEMP02;
Drop tablespace temp including contents; -- Make sure you delete on temp data files.Here is link for your reading purpose

I would first check the "query" information of the DBA_SNAPSHOTS/DBA_MVIEWS dictionary views if it reveals anything obvious.
But it looks more like an internal error while processing the refresh. You can get more information about the error by tracing the session. A "alter session set sql_trace = true;" before running the refresh should be sufficient. Disconnect afterwards and check the generated trace file for errors either using "tkprof" and checking the output or by manually searching for "err=" in the trace file.

MSS custom query restrictions (table/view/join)

Dear all,
We are currently trying to integrate a sap query which also gathers data from event management. This query is based on an infoset and a table view and not on a logical database.
When executing the query within the portal (generictableview iview) we get the error message "No data records found". While debugging the function module HR_INFO_GET_USING_QUERY which is called here we found out that the error message is generated because no logical database is retrieved.
Therefore my question is: are mss queries in portal restricted to queries which are based on logical databases only or can we create and use queries in portal which are based on table/views/joins?
Any help on this issue is greatly appreciated!
Thanks already very much in advance,
Helga

Hello MIG,
I am still searching and I have not found a solution yet.
Interestingly enough the query can be executed without any problems in R/3 but not from the portal iView. Therefore I am wondering if it is only a restriction on the MSS side.
@forum users: did anyone of you face this problem and has a solution to it?
Thanks very much for any input on this!
Kind regards,
Helga

Query Rewrite is an option for a Materialized View, not a Materialized View Log. Also, query rewrite is used as an optimization technique which "transforms a SQL statement expressed in terms of tables or views into a statement accessing one or more materialized views that are defined on the detail tables". I don't think it plays any role in the refresh path.
Regardless, it made no difference.

Error in materialized view refresh path

I have a procedure that manuall refreshes a materialized view. It almost always gets the following errors:
ERROR at line 1:
ORA-12008: error in materialized view refresh path
ORA-08103: object no longer exists
ORA-06512: at "SYS.DBMS_SNAPSHOT", line 2255

ORA-06512: at "MGT2.ITV_026_SP", line 35
ORA-06512: at line 1
When I run the same refresh of the materialized view directly from SQL*Plus, it never gets the error. It takes only about 5 minutes. OEM says the undo tablespace can support retention of 753 minutes if I'm understanding the graph.
Thanks for your help..

I will take a wild guess:
MGT2.VW_PRINT_026
Is a materialized view too.
This error means that while doing a refresh to VW_MAT_026 it
source mv, the VW_PRINT_026 wasn't exists, i.e. has been in the refresh process.
You didn't get it in Sql*Plus because you are doing it step by step.
The solution - make sure that VW_PRINT_026 completed it refresh before doing
The VW_MAT_026 refresh, e.g.
not tested-
begin
dbms_snapshot.refresh('VW_PRINT_026');
dbms_snapshot.refresh('VW_MAT_026');
end;Another option - the VW_PRINT_026 is a table created "on the fly"
And in some scenario - the table isn't exists yet...
If this is the case you should check if the object exist before doing the
VW_MAT_026 refresh, e.g.
not tested-
declare
ll_exists number;
begin
select 1 into ll_exists from all_objects where owner ='MGT2' and
object_name ='VW_PRINT_026';
dbms_snapshot.refresh('VW_MAT_026');
when others then raise;
end;Amiel

Multiple Facts and Join Paths

If you have multiple fact sharing the same dimensions is there a way to force the default Fact join path when pulling in only Dimensions? For instance pulling in Dashboard Prompts and using the Constrain - I pull in a few Dimensions and it obviously has to use the Fact table for the constaint, however, it is not using the one I am utilizing in the report. Thanks!

Yes, this functionality is called "Implicit fact", which means that this fact measure always be used when you run the query.
How to do this:
1) Create a measure on the fact table you want to create the join on.
2) In the presentation layer, go to the subject area and add this measure as the implicit fact.
3) Test it. Go to answers create a "dimension-only" report. Run the report and check the SQL to see whether the fact table is used.

Stijn

Join Paths

Let me select multiple paths, and where the endpoints occupy the same position (or within a user-definable distance), choose Object > Join Paths.
I work with DWG site plans within Illustrator frequently. When these files are imported, complex paths are broken into line segments. It is not uncommon to wind up with several THOUSAND line segments in a single site plan. Having to select the endpoints of each of these segments and join them is a real drag (sorry).
I know the the illustrati call us former FreeHand users whiners, but this is a feature FH had for years.

+ 1
I'm using illustrator mainly to make manuals from autocad plans. so I'm on pc for sure.
Rick Johnson from Graffix
http://rj-graffix.com/software/plugins.html
did a wonderfull job with it's "concatenate and assimilate plugins", and also with an extended and very useful selection menu.
Unfortunately he doesn't seems to be able to compilate the plugin for Ilustrator cs4 pc.It's a shame, I have to keep my old cs2 in order to do the job.
I don't understand why this kind of feature doesn't exist in illustrator, after more than 14 versions.
We are using more than 520 layers and the workflow :"select two point then join ..is pitifully slow". It's simply madness
(please excuse my poor english)
Illustrator is importing very well autocad files..so why don't go further ?

Joining paths chronologically (endpoint of objects with startpoint of the above insteadof automatic detection)

Just like the topic says, is there a way (scripting?) to join paths (i think of about 100-500 of more or less detailed vector scribbles) by connecting every endpoint to the startpoint of the following object above?

Would be great. Sure, i'll try.
1) You see the original scribble, 4 brush strokes, every stroke beginning in the bottom and directed to top-right.
2) The result of selecting strokes > right-click > join produces automatically detected path, connecting the nearest (?) anchors.
3) What it should be: end-point of the first stroke should join with start-point of second and so on.
Would this be possible? This would save enormous amounts of time while animating paths in after effects.

Join-path to multiple child paths

I am trying to do this:
$logDateUSA = Join-Path -path $logDate.Substring(4,2) -childPath $logDate.Substring(6,2), $logDate.Substring(0,4);
But I get the error:
Join-Path : Cannot convert 'System.Object[]' to the type 'System.String' required by parameter 'ChildPath'. Specified method is not supported.
Where am i going wrong?
cheers

The below is what confused me - it's the -path that can accept an array of string!:
http://blogs.msdn.com/b/powershell/archive/2007/06/29/partying-with-join-path.aspx
'Notice that PATH accepts an array of STRINGS. This is what that allows you to do:
PS> Join-Path C:\hello world
C:\hello\world
PS> Join-Path C:\hello,d:\goodbye,e:\hola,f:\adios world
C:\hello\world
d:\goodbye\world
e:\hola\world
f:\adios\world'
thanks for your help

Error: There are multiple join paths between these folders

I occasionally see this multiple join path error message when collapsing a field in a cross-tab report. The strange thing is that this error only occurs when collapsing on detail of the field, but does not happen when collapsing on the field title. For example, if the column is the department field, there is no error when collapsing on the department title at the top of the column. However, when collapsing on a single department (e.g. president_office) then the error occurs. The second odd thing, when reviewing the SQL there is only one join to the department table.
Does anyone have an explanation, solution, or a suggestion on how to debug this error? Sometimes I found that by rearranging the layout of the fields fixes the problem, but this is not an option in every report.
thanks

Since it's using the "Firstname lastname" to reference the user when I use add-distributiongroupmember, I suspect that referencing the smtp address would return different results.
Does Add-DistributionGroupMember reference AD objects, even if they don't have an associated mailbox? I ran into the same error when giving myself full permissions on a mailbox; I have only one Exchange object (a mailbox) but I have a second
AD object (user object with dom admin rights). I then went and found that the user I had trouble adding to the DG has an
AD object with no associated mailbox. (We frequently create AD users for business partners to access published remote applications.)
My suspicion is that Add-DistributionGroupMember references AD objects, and not just valid Exchange recipients. This would make sense if you're using security enabled groups and having them pull double duty - which we don't do at this company.
If my suspicion is correct, it should be documented on the technet article. http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/aa995970(v=exchg.141).aspx
