Which comes first? The schema or the form?

I am new to livecycle, so please bear with me ;-)
My question is about schemas. Since my company does not have a "master" schema, we will be starting from scratch.
How does one begin? Do you create a schema first in a tool such as xmlSpy and then use that to create forms and bind the data? Or does one start by creating forms and then exporting the data from livecycle out to a schema (which then would also need to be bound back to the fields in the data view). For some reason I'm stuck thinking that starting by creating the form(s) first and exporting the data would be useful for growing your master schema.
Thanks for your help!

Hi,
What the Paul said is actually correct. However most of the time form is changing a lot so you have to change the schema before changing the form if starting from schema.
If you design the document first, you can generate the schema later by using the exported data of the PDF. There exists some free tools to convert XML data to XSD schema.
In case of any consultancy issues and huge number of PDF designs needed in small periods, we develop and design PDF documents.

Problems with putting the Schema on the query!!!! Need Help.

Hi guys!
I have a problem and a doubt about putting schema name on my query. I want to know if is neccesery specify the schema name on the query I want to execute. All my queries are on my application, I connect from the begging to my oracle data base with a user and password, this user is only alow for that schema. So my question is if I can ommit the schema name on the query.
Explample
Select * From Table
Select * from Student
Select * from Schema.Table
Select * from Institution.Student
Thanks, and I hope you can help me,
Yuni.

don't use words that you don't know!
also, your example (in the first post) gave the schema.table as INSTITUTION.STUDENT
so these are all words that you started with.
now, PAY ATTENTION and RUN THE EXAMPLE SQLS I GAVE
connect to the database as INSTITUTION (user, schema, I don't care which).
execute the sql statement "select * from student".
did it do anything? did it return data, did it say "no rows", or did it have an error? my magic 8 ball and x-ray glasses are broken and I can't see you monitor (my old computer only has that one way window). if it works, then you clearly do not need to put be "putting the Schema on the query!!!!". if it didn't work, then TELL US EXACTLY WHAT HAPPENED (copy AND paste).
and where are my cigars ;-)

How to validate an xml with a schema w/o specifying the schema in the xml

I have done xml validation with xml schemas, where the xml points to the xsd to use. However, I would like to not have to specifiy the xml schema in the xml document (and can't ensure that the xml coming to us has that in it). How do I, in the java code, tell it what schema to use in validation?

How to query the "Schema" in the Reporting Schema?

I need to be able to report on a specific set of tables with my model.
I have elected to group them under one Schema.
I was thinking I could write a custom report via the Reporting Schema and select the tables based on the schema they are associated with.
However, I dont see the table within the SQLDeveoper Model Reporting Schema that containes the mapping of tables to a schema.
Is this missing from the export?
If yes, what would be a better way of doing this type of grouping?
Thanks
Mark

Hi Mark,
Schema is not exported to reporting repository.
You can use Classifications types to group tables, entities etc. And you can create your own classification types. There is field classification_type_ovid in dmrs_tables table which can be used as filter.
Another way of grouping is using Sub Views. In that case these are the queries:
--This returns all main views + sub views, exported to DB, filter in Where clause for specific design could be applied
SELECT CASE
WHEN d.diagram_type = 'MainView' THEN d.model_name
ELSE ''
END as "Model Name",
d.model_ovid as "Model OVID",
CASE
WHEN d.diagram_type = 'Subview' THEN d.diagram_name
ELSE ''
END as "Sub View",
d.ovid as "OVID"
FROM dmrs_vdiagrams d,
dmrs_models m
WHERE d.model_ovid = m.model_ovid
--AND d.design_ovid = column design_ovid from DMRS_DESIGNS table
--AND m.model_type = 'Relational' (or 'Logical')
ORDER BY d.model_name,d.diagram_type, d.diagram_name
- This return all all tables withing specific sub view
SELECT t.table_name as "Table Name",
t.ovid as "OVID"
FROM dmrs_tables t,
dmrs_diagram_elements de,
dmrs_vdiagrams d
WHERE de.ovid = t.ovid
AND de.diagram_ovid = d.ovid
AND d.ovid = -> this is subview ovid from above query

Can not see the schema under the new connection -- Please help

The database is Oracle. Recently I requested our DBA to do a database refresh, and here was she did.
1. Drop the user (TDEV, schema owner) in Dev.
2. Recreate the user, TDEV, with the same password, roles and tablespaces.
3. Using Oracle export command to export data from production under schema owner, TPROD.
4. Using Oracle import command to import the dump file from TPROD to TDEV.
5. Both export and import were successful.
Dev and Production are in two different databases.
After the importing, using SQL*PLUS I logged into Dev database as schema owner "TDEV", and were able to select all tables. I also verified there was no schema or user called TPROD in Dev database, and there is no TDEV in Production database.
However, in Crystal Report, both 10 and XI, when I made the new ODBC (RDO) connection to Dev DSN and logged in as the schema owner user "TDEV", I noticed there is TPROD listed below, but no TDEV. I tried to select the tables listed underneath TPROD, and got the following error message: "Query Engine Error: '42S02:[Oracle][ODBC][Ora]ORA-00942: table or view doesn't exist'"
Any ideas or helps are welcome!!

Try to create a brand new DSN connecting to Dev

Secure the password of the schema in the application server

Hi,
my application is using one schema, and the users are stored in a table within that schema. When the user run the application, the schema password is not required since it is stored in formsweb.cfg file as userid=username/password@servicename. the problem with this, is that anyone is able to know the schema password by opening the formsweb.cfg.
is there any way to make the password invisible in the application server ?
Thanx

Hi
1. What is the version of the Oracle Fusion Middleware you are using?
2. Why would the users have access to the formsweb.cfg file?
Please provide the above info to get further assistance.

Setting up Kerberos for 2013: Which comes first!

Greetz!
I would like my farm to use Kerberos authentication. In order to et up Kerberos do I need to first create the first web application, set it to use Kerberos and THEN set up Kerberos by creating the SPNs, Allowing 'Trust for Delegation', etc, etc?
Should I rely on
blksthls guide to get me going or is there another I should use?
Can I setup my web application using port 443 ONLY or do I also need port 80? Will Kerberos work on both ports?
Thank you!!
Love them all...regardless. - Buddha

Order doesn't matter. If you know the URL and the user that will be running the Application Pool, then you can pre-create the SPN (and that isn't a bad idea). Kerberos doesn't care about port #s with regards to HTTP/ SPNs, use what you need to use -- just
tcp/443 is fine.

Upgrade 10.1.0.4 32 Bit to 10.2.0.3 64 Bit - Which comes first?

Hello,
We are going to be upgrading our Oracle EBS database from 10.1.0.4 32 bit Linux to 10.2.0.3 64 bit Linux. I was planning on doing the upgrade in phases (instead of doing it in one shot) like this:
1) Upgrade database to 10.2.0.3 32 bit. Wait a few weeks to make sure everything is ok.
2) Upgrade server/database to 64 bit.
Is there any advantage to doing the database upgrade first (10.1.0.4 to 10.2.0.3) or the OS/Oracle database upgrade (32 bit to 64 bit)?
Of course I will be testing all of this on a sandbox environment before trying on production.
Thanks,
Alfredo

Yes , upgrading 10.1.0.4 to 10.2.0.3 is safe step , so put safe step first.
Then upgrade 32 bit to 64 Bit , In this step you might see some execution
plan changes
Of course I will be testing all of this on a sandbox

This is mandatory step :-)

1 Unable to retrieve the form values entered by the user from the xpath expression(with or without s

1.1 Description of the Workflow
We have designed a Workflow, which has an init form HighLevelQuestionnaire.
1. The user attempts to start the workflow by submitting this form, which has an XML schema embedded.
2. When user submits the data, we set workflow variables to fetch data from the init-form and all the values entered by the user are stored in the database.
3. Based on the values, value of Risk Level is calculated to be either High or Medium, and user is routed to one of the two routes.
4. The user QPAC is used to show the next form to the user.
Another form has been designed called AssessRisk in which user is asked to confirm the Risk Level.
5. At this point, we use Script QPAC to print the values in the log.
1.2 Problem description
1. In the Point No. 6 of the workflow, the values are not printed in the log. A blank space is printed instead.
2. Initially, we embedded the schema in the form. But when values were not printed, we removed the schema. Even then it didnt work.
1.2.1 User QPAC Specifications
Properties of user QPAC used in Step 4 of the workflow
Mappings Tab: -
Input Variable --- No variable
Template URL ----- Form11.xdp
Output Variable ---- myform
Myform is a form-variable, which has template URL as Form11.xdp
1.2.2 Script QPAC
1.2.2.1 With XML Schema embedded
import com.adobe.workflow.pat.service.*;
System.out.println("----------- High Level Questions -----------");
System.out.println("--1- the RiskLevel is: " + patExecContext.getProcessDataStringValue("/process_data/myform/form-data/data/xdp/dataset s/data/RiskLevel/general/Risk_Level") + " @@@@@");
Note:- Here RiskLevel is the schema root of myform and Risk_Level is the schema variable mapped with textfield on the form
1.2.2.2 Without XML Schema embedded
System.out.println("--1.1- the RiskLevel is: " + patExecContext.getProcessDataStringValue("/process_data/myform/form-data/data/xdp/dataset s/data/fields/Risk_Level") + " @@@@@");
1.2.2.3 Conclusion
In both the cases, a blank value is printed. In both the cases, we get some output which is when we use
System.out.println("--1.1- the RiskLevel is: " + patExecContext.getProcessDataStringValue("/process_data/myform/form-data/data/xdp/dataset s/data ") + " @@@@@");
In this case all the values are printed with space in between.
This is the basic feature which has to be used while developing workflows.

Hi
You might want to try using VariableLogger, at:
http://www.avoka.com/avoka/qpac_library.shtml
It's a little more reliable than the script QPAC, especially if one of your xpath expressions is wrong.
Please note that embedding the schema makes no difference in how the data from the form is stored. What makes the difference is whether your fields are bound to specify schema elements, or whether they use the "normal" binding.

Azure Website doesn't recognize my Database's Table after changing the Schema

I have a Microsoft Azure Website running and working with an Azure SQL Database for the sole purpose of storing and retrieving user accounts. However I needed a mobile client as well there fore according to numerous tutorials online such as [THIS][1],
I had to change the 'schema' of the database from 'dbo' to my mobile service's name which is 'usermobileservice'.
This was done using the SQL query:
CREATE SCHEMA usermobileservice; ALTER SCHEMA usermobileserviceTRANSFER dbo.usertable;
This did the trick and I was able to connect to the Database using my mobile applications BUT now I can't access the database using my Azure Website! Gives me this error:
Server Error in '/' Application.
Invalid object name 'UserTable'.
Description: An unhandled exception occurred during the execution of the current web request. Please review the stack trace for more information about the error and where it originated in the code.
Exception Details: System.Data.SqlClient.SqlException: Invalid object name 'UserTable'.
I believe the ASP.NET Web Application cannot find the Database Table anymore since I changed the schema? What is the right way of sharing the data between a Website and a Mobile Service?

How to unselect a schema as a target schema in the old version OWB?

Hi all,
I am upgrading my OWB from 9.0.5 to 10.2.0.3. When I deploy the mapping, I get the error message saying "cannot deploy the map to the target schema because it is not owned by the control center". So I log in as the repository owner, and want to add this schema to be the repository user, also to be the target schema. When I do this, I get a error message saying "The following user can not be registered as a target schema, as it is alreday being managed by a different control center", which is my old repository in 9.0.5. Does anybody know how to unselect the schema as the target schema in OWB 9.0.5?
thanks a lot

Hi,
for OWB 9.2 and later this can be performed with Runtime Assistant, for details look at
http://download.oracle.com/docs/html/B11000_02/04deinst.htm#1146937
I have little experience with pre 9.2 OWB releases, but I think that this procedure is very similar across all OWB versions. I think you need check this in Installation guide for OWB 9.0.5

Changing schemas for the existing domain

Hello! Is it possible to create a domain using one schema (in this case we've already used the "integration" env schema), but later replace it with a differenct schema for the same domain (we will need to replace this with the "produciton" env schema).
In our use case, we've configured a base_domain with the "integration" schema and had completed all the configuration for SSL and SSO.
In couple of months we will need to use the real "production" schema for this same environment. I am trying to understand the cleanest solution: if it's possible to just replace the schema for the domain somehow, or to create a new domain with the new production schema and complete the SSL and SSO configurations there from scratch.
Any advice?

Our use case is that we have just finished configuring the "production" environment. However, from the start we coudn't use the Production Database schema, since we would be having a release One of the UCM customization in this environment and it is possible that we would be reverting back to the clean instance of the server and the database after this Customization release. For that we were thinking about simply removing/switching from this old schema and using the new clean "Production Schema", which is already prepared for us for the DB admins.
My questions is that probably I cannot simply "switch" the schema for the already existing domain, but would have to create new domain for WebLogic and configure it the same way as for the first time, plus use the default ports (16200, 7001, 443) for the new domain.
Also, we have done the SSO and SSL configuration for the old domain. I am wondring if we would have to create a new domain, can I simply copy the configuration files for SSO (primarily the keytab file, krb5, etc.) and the certificates for SSL into the new domain, so the switch to the new domain would be seemless, besides some WebLogic reconfigurations, of course?

Change the Schema in Sql 2005

Hello Experts,
We have refreshed our QAS system from PRD (abap + java) system. The schema on the system is MCOD (IE SID). Although the database has come up, but in SAP we are not able to access the schema because the schema currently belongs to PRD system.
I have looked at OSS note 551915 but this script is valid for Sql 2000. We have Sql 2005.
Also, I have looked at a couple of scripts but that have not worked on our scenario to convert the scema.
Can anyone share and paste the Alter schema script to convert all the tables both for (SAPPRDDB and PRD) ?
Please Help!
Thanks,
Antarpreet

Hello Antarpreet,
Please suggest if I am wrong:
u have refreshed QAS from PRD and now the schema owner of QAS is SID of PRD and you want to change this to SID of QAS
Well then in that case you will need to perfrom schema conversion using SQL tools mentioned in the note I have given to you,I assure your issues will get resolved,we have been doing it a lot in our setup and have no issues,we also have schema systems
Also note 551915 also says this- to perform schema upgarde using SQL tools
Also what makes you say that the scripts mentioned in the note are for SQL server 2000,it is no where mentioned
But I strongly suggest you to go for SQL tools,even if it does no gud to your system(which is a remotest possibility),it will not do any harm....
