Hi, Oracle8 and Oracle8i will provide you object relational model. It is not pure object-oriented solution. In the field of databases it is difficult to impliment pure object-oriented solution now a days. But it is easy to understand and design an object-relational design and implimentation. In Oracle8 there are some very useful facilities for such a design like the concept of nested tables. I had a project of defence nature and design in object-relational technique and find much easy and understandable then pure relational approach. If it is possible for you then please be contect with me on mail and send me a little information about your work and experience.

  • What is the default package tu put in a data model ?

    Hi,
    I want to call a procedure *"EXTRACTION"* which is located in the default pachkage of my database.
    What shoud i put in my data model? i feel that this line is wrong :
    *<dataTrigger name="beforeReport" source="Extraction"/>*
    Thnaks,
    SAAD

    Hi,
    i have plaeced my procedure directly in my procedure folder not in a package.
    so if im correct, the default package will be nothing so i just put the name of the procedure.
    is that true?

  • Business object architecture data model

    HI All,
    Can anyone give the architectural data model for business object ?
    i got few but my data base is sap BI and i need to design a document to show the data model
    so anybody having such document or any link for that so please share.
    thanks in advance.
    regards,
    DJ.

    Hi DJ,
    Best Practice says that if you have SAP BI in Back end and SAP BOBJ on front End then follow below mentioned path.
    Create your SAP Query on the top of your InfoCube or ODS etc
    Use calculated Key Figures and Restricted Key Figures in your Query.
    Use most of the objects under Free Characteristics area for better performance and results
    Create your Universe on the top of SAP Query. (we can create universe on the top of Cube and ODS but then we cannot use variable and performance also gets hit)
    You can also create further variable / Filters at Universe level instead of WebI to improve performance
    Create WebI report or Crystal Report etc (You can also create variables / Filters here).
    Page 38 of following link gives a diagram for better understanding.

  • Can you put objects on top of movies.

    The submission date is closing in and I am stuck!
    Is it
    possible to place buttons on graphics on top of a quicktime movie
    in Director. I have an actor pointing to the left and I want
    a button to appear. The right and again another button! My video is
    pretty much full screen so have nowhere else to but the buttons. I
    could of course make the movie smaller. But it would look bad on my
    project.

  • Can you put your iTunes data on your airport and then have your computers with the same apple id sync to this music/ and play list / podcast / movies / iTunes u?

    I have a laptop and desktop can I sync my itunes to a master libary on a nas or my airport extream? this would be similar to syncing my devices to my imac (iPad, iPhonce, ect.)

    two answers as I am unshour to what you want to do:
    Setup homeshareing or:
    1) QUIT not just Close iTunes if it open
    1) Make a folder on the shared disk
    2) Move the "Users/username/Music/iTunes folder you want to share with all the devices to the folder on the shared disk
    3) Make that folder accessable by all the users you want to access it.
    4) Hold the "Option/alt" key down and click iTunes and it will ask if you want to "Choose a Library"
    5) click "Choose a Library" and choose the one on the shared disk
    6) Do this on evey meachine you want to have access to this library
    8) REMBER THAT IF YOUR NOT CONNECTED TO YOUR SHARED DISK THEN YOU WILL NOT BE ABLE TO ACCESS YOUR LIBRARY but you can choose librays at any time by using step 4 and you can have as meany librarys as you like.
    I hope this answers your question

  • OBIEE Best Practice Data Model/Repository Design for Objectives/Targets

    Hello World!
    We are faced with a design question that has become somewhat difficult and we need some help. We want to be able to compare side-by-side actual measures with their corresponding objectives/targets. Sounds simple. But, our objectives are static (not able to be aggregated) with multi-dimensionality and multi-levels. We need some best practice tips on how to design our data model and repository properly so that we can see the objective/target for a measure regardless of the dimensions that are used in the criteria and regardless of the level.
    Here is some more details:
    Example of existing objective table.

    - Right now we have quarterly objectives set using 3 different dimensions. So, if an author were to add one or more (or zero) dimensions to their criteria for a given measure they could get back a different objective. They could add Dimension1 and get 99%. They could add Dimension1 and Dimension2 and get 98%. They could add all three dimensions and get 97%. They could add zero dimensions (highest grain) and get 99%. Using our existing structure if we were to add a new dimension to the mix the possible combinations would grow dramatically. (Not flexible)
    - We would like our final solution to be flexible enough so that we could view objectives with altogether different dimensions and possibly get different objectives.
    - We currently have 3 fact tables with 3+ conformed dimension tables and a few unique dimension tables.
    Could anyone share a similar situation where you have implemented a data model structure with the proper repository joins to handle showing side-by-side objectives/targets where the objectives were static and could be displayed at differing levels with flexible dimensions as described?
    Any help would be greatly appreciated.

    hi..yes this suggestion is nice...first configure the sensors(activity or variable) ..then configure the sensor action as a JMS Topic which will in turn insert the data into a DB..Or when u configure the sensor action as a DB..then the data goes to Oracle Reports schema..if there is any chance of altering the DB..i mean if there is any chance by changing config files so that the data doesnt go to that Reports schema and goes to a custom schema created by any User....i dont know if it can b done...my problem is wen i m configuring the jms Topic for sensor actions..i see blank data coming..for sm reason or the other the data is not getting posted ...i have used a esb ..a routing service based on the schema which i am monitoring...can any1 help?

  • Dynamic table in Oracle report data model using laxical parameter is giving error Ora-00936: missing expression

    Hi ,
    I am using Oracle report 10G

    Can anybody advise to solve this issue.
    Regards,
    Brajesh

    Look in the Reports Builder Help:
    If you want to use lexical references in your SELECT clause, you should create a separate lexical reference for each column you will substitute. In addition, you should assign an alias to each lexical reference.
    Does adding the column alias solve the problem?

  • Data Modeler - Naming Conventions

    I was using Oracle Designer for several year.
    This product could drive you crazy because sometimes, but the strength was in my opinion the datamodelling part.
    It saved you a lot of time because you kept stuck to the logical model generated your relational model and had all scripts satisfying all naming conventions you needed.
    In Data Modeler i really miss the naming conventions and can't understand some parts, sometimes somebody here can help me if i have overseen something or it is just not implemented.
    Naming conventions as example:
    We work with surrogate keys.
    Two well known tables - Employees (abbreviation EMP), Departments (abbreviation DEP)
    They have one relation 1:N one department has many employees
    In Designer i would define the EMPLOYEE entity, would set the table-abbreviation, the attributes and the primary key.
    The same with DEPARTMENT. I would design it WITHOUT any column for the foreign key constraint.
    Then i would create a relation between this two tables.
    Last step is to generate the relational model.
    a) Designer automatically adds ID as surrogate key on every table (you could configure that, it was dependent on a domain)
    b) it automatically adds the table abbreviation as prefix on every column (even here it's configurable)
    c) it automatically adds the a foreign key column in the child table with the prefix of the master table (f.e. EMP_DEP_ID or DEP_ID if you prefer not to prefix every column... what i do)
    It was really easy to get your scripts.
    Things i don't understand in Data Modeler:
    In a logical model you should design entities, attributes and relations and don't mess around with FK-columns.
    Is there any support for surrogate keys? I don't wanna add an ID manually with every table.
    In Data Modeler an additional COLUMN(!) is added with every Foreign key relation, i could live with that, but there is no way to tell
    Data Modeler to prefix it automatically. The name can just be changed in the Relational View afterward.
    P.S.
    Surrogate Keys.... There are some pros and cons for/against this out there. I have seen a lot of Oracle Projects and in all except one i always had a surrogate key column. It really makes life
    easier. In the one no-surrogate-key-project we began to add surrogate keys after a while...

    COLUMN(!) is added with every Foreign key relation, i could live with that, but there is no way to tell
    Data Modeler to prefix it automaticallyLook at "General options>Naming Standard>templates" - you can define template for FK columns/attributes and then apply them for whole relational/logical model using "Apply Naming .." functionality from pop-up menu in the browser. For Logical model (FK attributes) - you also need to clear related setting at "General options>Logical>Keep as the name of originating attribute".
    Templates are also used when objects are created, thus when new FK is created, then templates are used to generate name for foreign key and FK columns. Well you have to define table and column abbreviation in order to get them used in generated names - Re: Data Modeler: Naming
    There is no support for surrogate keys in current release.

  • Data modeler

    Hi,
    I am not pretty sure whether it is the right place to post this question. I am working as Sr. Oracle DBA and thinking of learning and switching my profession to Data modeler.
    But I wanted to know like as per hierarchy wise is data modeler position in one step up to oracle DBA?
    Also can anyone suggest me any forum for data modeler?
    Thank you in advance.

    user2995637 wrote:
    You are perfectly right. I am completely with you. But in every field there is graph of levels, No necessarily, and certainly not necessarily so narrowly defined.
    even organization has hierarchies. And International Frambo Corp may say a Data Modeler is "higher" than a DBA, while United Widget Corp may say just the opposite. And Dunder-Mifflin Paper may not even have a job title "Data Modeler" even though they have an entire team of people performing that function. And two companies probably even define the individual jobs differently. And even if a company has the two job titles, defined as you perceive they should be defined, they may very well have them at equal 'levels'. So anything I might say about how those job titles relate in my organization probably mean zero in your organization.
    Job titles mean only and exactly what the individual organization says they mean.
    You should be pursuing the work you find enjoyable and fulfilling. Not some artificial title based on an artificial concept of what is "higher". Have you actually done any data modeling? Do you find it interesting? Why would you want to pursue that type of assignment vs. what you are currently doing?
    So just thought of gather info on that as well.

    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

  • Can SAP leverage MM and classification (CL-system) data-model?

    Dear all,
    At the moment I’m working for a telecom company, setting up the Functional Management department activities to manage 2nd line support calls, and general overall application functional support.
    One of the issues is simplifying the work of monitoring Item (products, articles etc.) Master Data. Below you can see the data model where Items, their classes, the characteristics of classes and prices are stored. 
    The Legacy system has the following data-model (as ERD, <a href="http://sapparking2007.freehostia.com/LegacyModel.JPG">LegacyModel</a> )
    Main Product (i.e. Nokia 6110)
         - has zero, one or more Characteristics (i.e. 220v cord, 3v battery etc.)      
         - has zero, one or more Variants (i.e. Nokia 6110i,  Black, Red etc.)
         A Variant  (Nokia 6110i, Black)
              - has zero, one or more Characteristics (i.e. 200h stand by time etc.)      
              - has zero, one or more Deliveries (i.e. we sell “a package”)
              A Delivery (certain combination of a package : Nokia 6110i, Red, Prepaid, 1 year)
                   - Has zero, one or more Characteristics (i.e. prepaid simcard, free service etc.)
                   - Has zero, one or more Delivery Prices (i.e. prices)
                   A Delivery Price
                        - Has zero, one or more Characteristics (i.e. 1 month warenty)
                        - Has zero, one or more Prices (i.e. offer price, sales, periods)
    Well, almost perfectly normalised data-model.
    The implementation in SAP is as follows:
    Main Products , Variant and Deliveries are all stored in table MARA.
    Product is Artikeltype Z01A,
    Variant is type KMAT,
    Deliveries is type HAVA and DIEN.
    See image:
    <a href="http://sapparking2007.freehostia.com/Model01.JPG">Current Data Model</a>
    The Characteristics are stored in table CABN etc…
    The prices are stored in the SD table KONP .. (price condition). etc.
    The MARA table is connected to Classes table (KSSK) via the INOB table.
    Classes are connected to Classes with in de KSSK table.
    The filed that stores Class in the KSSK and the field that stores the Class below are 2 different type of fields (18C , and 50CN)  and they would simply wont join in a SAP query.
    The filed that stores Item to Class in the INOB and the field that stores the Class in the KSSK are 2 different type of fields (18C , and 50CN)  and they would also wont join in a SAP query.
    Therefore we have created extra Z. “Tables” (Types actually) that does the join for us.
    Functional Management personnel – are not ABAP and SQL people. So we have to keep it simple.
    After a training session – it proved to be still too complicated. After a Change Request, to create the product structure in a separated, single table, has resulted in a batch job, that create the file periodically, but not all of it. And – at the end, you never know if your data is up-to-date.
    To me it seems logical – to add a (derived) field to the KSSK and the INOB to accumulate the underlying class with the same attributes as the MARA and KSSK, so it can be properly joined. But here there is too much resistant in conjunction with SAP releases etc. AND it seem to be impossible (not sure) to define a “type table” with a derived field.
    To let programmers produce more ABAP is not a clean option either, and yes I realise one can create a sap query on a single table, and add a long SQL statement on Record level.
    So the question:
    -     Is this implementation “the best” possible in SAP?
    -     How to overcome the “unjoinable” friendly database?
    In other query tools it is possible to create “tables” as output (on the fly), where the tables can be used as input tables in a next query, and can be joined further.
    -     Is this somehow possible in SAP?
    I wonder if anyone can shade some light on this approach. We have 2 FTE to monitor 2.5 million products combinations, and the propagation of this data to over 30 sales channels – daily.    
    Thank you in advance for taking the time!
    Kind Regards,
    Doron.

  • 3.0 beta - How to start Data Modeler?

    Probably a dumb question but Tools > Data Modeler > gives the list of options but none are to open a Data Modeler window.
    File > Data Modeler prompts to open an existing design but not to create a new one.
    What am I missing?

    It seems you are asking about Data Modeler as extension in SQL Developer 3.0 - no need to start it - it's already started and you have available empty design to work with.
    You need to make Data Modeler browser visible - "View>Data Modeler>Browser". You can use it to show/hide models or create new designs.

  • Architeture influence MDM Data Modeling??

    Hi,
    I understand If I have MDM SP05  then I can utilize some good functionalities of EP, Java Webdynpro or SAP NW CE, Webservices and BPM. and If same applications I integrate with MDM SP03 then I will loose this functionalities. Will this have any impact / influence on my Data Model designing decisions. What will be the change?
    Cheers,
    Rajesh

    Hi Rajesh,
    I don't think you have to think from that perspective. When you say Data Modelling - it is related to repository structure i.e. fields and tables.
    Scenario 1 - You don't have any information about upcoming version
    In this case since you have no idea what new version would consists of hence there is no point in thinking about data modelling. You can go ahead with the most optimized model based on your current requirements
    Scenario 2 - You have some idea about the new features of the new version
    Still I don't think you need to consider data modelling because new features might be in the form of new java classes or new iViews or may be introduction of new data type, etc. In all cases you cannot change your current data model.
    It's always better to have POC and Live on same version so that things can be reused.
    I have just shared my views and didn't provide any solution

    Jitesh
