ORACLE reports Build 10g - Data Model - query - If statement in Alias ?

I have the following select statement. It has the alias Survivors, Deaths and "All
With the ORACLE reports Build 10g - Data Model - I have the following query statement. I require the alias to change. Can the following be done.

SELECT ALL T_NTR_MULTIBAR.CAT, T_NTR_MULTIBAR.NUM_CASES_LEFTBAR AS Survivors,

It is no problem, you can automatically change the complete query before the report is running, which delivers you different kind of values. But the alias names does not change in the group of the data-model, although two query are running with different alias names at different times. In the data model you see the alias names of the first implemented select statement, which are the column fields in the layout.

Decision to Build BW data model with legacy data

Hi experts,
I was assigned a task to take decision on creating new data warehouse on the following scenario's
Option1:
1.SAP BW + Legacy data( Separate database)
Option2:
2.SAP BW+ Legacy data integrate to BW.
Please let me the pros and cons involved in integrating legacy data to BW or to report separately as two different data bases using BOBJ.Client is having SAP R/3 EEC6.0 running.SAP data is around 60% and remaining is legacy.
My question is which option is better with some detail.
Regards
prasad

Hi Prasad,
As mentioned no need to combine Legasy data and BW data in BOBJ.You can directly extract to BI from R/3 and Legasy Data.But
Please check the folliwng points from DB People.
1. As per requirement how many Tables that you are using to extract the data?
2. You have three source tables.But there are no unique records.In this case first you need to identify the common key field.
Note : That key field also should same as in R/3 also.
Based on the three source tables inform the DB team Mainatain a separate table (Which should collect only common record from three tables).
3. Now you can load the data into BI.So the above scenario will resolve issue.
Issues & Concern :
1. If yopu extract Lagasy and BI to BOBJ ?How u r going to combine data in BOBJ to generate a global report.
2. Is this possible to maintain a separate table in DB by the DB team.
Check once with DB team before proceeding further.
Regards
Ram.

Building data model using business modeler in demantra

Hello.
During this week I've been trying to build a data model using the business modeler but i keep getting an error during the process. My main problem is that I don't really know if i am making the mistake or it is a configuration problem with my demantra install. To begin with I'm trying to build the most simple of the models, 3 files or tables (tryed both) sales, items, and location, all joined by their respectives id's. So If anyone could be so kind to direct me to a tutorial with an example (besides the implementation guide) or a anything like that will be greatly appreciated.
Thanks!
Data tables estructure:
Sales table:
Item_Id|Item_Name|Org_Id|Org_Name|Site_Id|Site_name|sales_date|Quantity
Items table:
Item_Id|Item_Name
Location table:
Org_Id|Org_Name|Site_Id|Site_name
So far I've tryed building the model with one record on each table.
this is the error that i'm getting:

We currently don't support DataControls based on the ADF BC technology. We will consider such support if there is a strong interest in that use case.
Independent of the IDE's you use, there are ways to expose services based on ADF BC that can then be consumed by the view layer. A Google search will point you to some of the approaches.
HTH. Thanks for your interest in OEPE.

CM14 BI Publisher - modifying an existing Data Model, the Graphic View in Query Builder does not display

I am trying to edit the default forms/reports that come with CM14, trying to edit the data model, data set, (to get to the old Infomaker style graphic view) , the Query model does not display (error the list of tables is too long..) Oracle tell me the limit is 60, there are not 60 tables referenced in any CM report.
Does this Query builder view work at all on any report?
(bigger question, we are moving from CM12, should we move to CM13 which works with infomaker?)
Thanks,
Paul L

Kurt, thanks for your replies.
A couple of notes/clarifications.
1. You are correct that BI works better in Firefox--I have observed issues with the BI display when using IE. I would recommend using Firefox too.
2. You are correct about the way to get to the Query Builder to see a graphical view of data tables. There are basically two issues with this that I mentioned, but will re-iterate:
a. If you have an EXISTING query in the data set, then click the "Query Builder" button, this will remove the existing query that's there, it will NOT display the existing query in the query builder. Query Builder works only to create a NEW query from scratch.
b. Query builder is limited to selecting 60 fields max in your query. If you are creating a large report with many tables, you may find that 60 fields is not enough. For that you will have to work in the SQL edit screen rather than using the query builder.
I would impress on anyone developing CM14 reports that they become familiar with the database schema and relationships to avoid problems when developing your BI reports. You should be able to find the tables and joins documentation in the knowledgebase.

Unable to see columns of Data Model in Template Builder for Word.

Experts,
My customer has defined Data Model,
and when Ct is trying to insert fields into their documents,
the columns in the Data Model can't been seen in Template Builder for Word.
(in tool bar; Oracle BI Publisher > Insert > Field)
The details is as follow;
(Data Model)
Name : TEST
Type : SQL Query
SQL Query : select case_id,case_name from TEST where case_id = :p_case_id and serious_flag = 'Y';
'p_case_id' is taken from LOV.
(sample data in TEST table)
CASE_ID CASE_NAME SERIOUS_FLAG
1 case1
2 case2 N
3 case3 Y
In this case, CASE_ID and CASE_NAME can't be seen in Template Builder.
But we can see the columns when the sample data is as follow;
CASE_ID CASE_NAME SERIOUS_FLAG
1 case1 Y <-(*)
2 case2 N
3 case3 Y
I mean, the data of the first row (in this case, case_id=1) is hit by the SQL query,
we can see the columns in Template Builder.
I'd like to know whether it is an intended behavior.
Regards.

Hi,
I reformed the sample data in TEST table.
In this case,the columns in the Data Model can't been seen in Template Builder for Word.
CASE_ID CASE_NAME SERIOUS_FLAG
1　　　　　case1
2　　　　　case2　　　　　N
3　　　　　case3　　　　　Y
But we can see the columns when the sample data is as follow;
CASE_ID CASE_NAME SERIOUS_FLAG
1　　　　　case1　　　　　Y　　　　　<=(*)
2　　　　　case2　　　　　N
3　　　　　case3　　　　　Y
In fact, when the data of the first row (in this case, case_id=1) is hit by the SQL query,
we can see the columns in Template Builder.
Any information would be appreciated.
Thanks in advance.

Error to open a data model in Report builder (Word)

Dear all,
Im troubles when i try to open a data model in Report Builder (Word). Someone know about this problem?
The message is: A error has ocurred. Check the settings and try again.
Any suggestion?
Thanks for all!

I've also got this error several times. Usually the reason is an error in the Publisher query (or data template). It's better to first test (view) that you get a proper xml-output in Publisher, and only after that try to create an rtf-template. If this doesn't work, I usually start from the beginning, and first make a very simple report, then try the template, and if it works, then gradually increase elements for the Publisher side. Sometimes I haven't got any idea why it didn't work at the first place, when it then works after beginning from the simple report.

Building report from more than one data model

Hi Experts,
I have a requirement to build a report in BI Publisher.
The report has three section each having their own data source.
When i try to create report in BI Publisher it allows me to associate one data model per report.
is it feasible to have more than one data source for a single report.
Cheers,
Andy

Hi Andy,
Not sure If this meets your requirement, please do have a look at the following links:

Need tips to build a Logical data model

Hey Gurus,
1) I need some tips in building a logical data model.
I have reviewed a functional spec and listed all the fields required in a report. I now looked into datasources( extractor) in R/3 side which can bring most of these fields but there are certain characteristices which are not part of this extractor, what i have found out is that they are the attributes of a master Data <u>but there are still some more fileds which are not part of the extractor and attributes of a master data</u> , so now how do i bring the data for those fieds????? <b>Do I have to enhance the extractor or do i need to enhance the Masterdata???????</b>
How do i decide whether to enhance the extractor or the Master data?? Experts please give me some tips out of ur experiences so that i can decide on what to enhance.
2) Assume that i have an extractor which can bring me all the fileds required in a report. Now how do i build a logical data model????????
is it like

1. Use XML Spy Enterprise edition editor.
2. Goto www.xmethods.com, select service you want to create demo of.
3. Get its WSDL url.
4. In XML Spy SOAP menu there is a command 'create new soap request'. Press that, enter the WSDL url. You will get a SOAP request.
5. Edit SOAP request parameters. Type parameters of your choice.
6. Press 'send request to server'. You will get SOAP response. It will contain result from the requested method.
7. Paste that response inside a JSP.
8. Write a local method which will return same response (remote method's return value) that came from remote web service.
9. Paste that method inside abovementioned JSP. Replace static response in that JSP with the response generated by local method. The method parameters will come from client's SOAP request. Parse SOAP request to get request parameters. (As it's your demo, you know the data types of the parameters).
10. Host that JSP on any Servlet/JSP engine.
That makes your Web Service.
You can use any package like Aapche SOAP, AXIS or JAX-RPC to generate a SOAP client. Use the URL of JSP(step 10) as "endpoint".
Note: Indside JSP make sure that there in no endline and carriage return character. Otherwise it won't be a valid SOAP response.
Good luck.

Data Model plugin for Flash Builder 4

Hello there!
I've just watched a video tut on Youtube (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=U1aWeoTV63M) on how to work with Flash Bulder + LC Data Services and he mentions a plug-in to add this option (Data Model) to Flash Builder.
I looked around on Adobe's website and found two download links, both for Eclipse, with lots of jar files.
Sorry, I don't get it!
Please, where do I get the right plug-in file and how do I install it in Flash Builder?
Thank you!
Marcos

Same here. Modeler plugin for Helios, Eclipse 3.6, Flash Builder 4.5 would be great.

So where it says yes thous are the vendors that people associated with them have to asses and where there's an X thous are the topics that the vendors have to be rated on . So if for example the first guy on the list Jxxxxxx yyyyyyf will asses TSSA , ORACLE, HP , IBM , MS , SAP on the topic of Architecture and if you look at the second user nnnitha iiiiiah he would rate TSSA , ORACLE , INTERGRAPH on the topics of Relationship and performance . Any idea how i could data model this to get my table structures right .so that features like completion status could be displayed to the user through APEX which can only be done by a correct data-model i have tried normalization but i did go anywhere becauce there are so many variations any idea on how you would go about data modeling this would be greatly appreciated thank you

Not really an APEX specific question.. Maybe you should try posting this in the data modeler forum : SQL Developer Data Modeler
Thank you,

option1:
The query should be same @ detail level, only the template has to be different for summary and details.
@runtime, user can choose to see the detail/summary
Disadvantage, if the data is huge,
advantage , only one report.
option2:
create two separate reports summary and details
and create diff data and diff layout and keep it as different report
Advantage, query will perform based on the user run report, summary/detail, so that you can write efficient query.
Dis advantage , two reports query/template to be maintained.
