Wizard for column/table description

Hi all ,
I'm using OBIEE 11g. In the admin tool i have 20 models and i want to set a description for each column and table/which is like tooltip in the analysis/. Does anybody knows a fast way or a wizard for this or i should go through all the tables and columns in the BMM ?
Thanks in advance,
Alexander.

Hey Alexander,
I did mine one by one but you can also generate a RPD UDML file and write a simple script to mass update or depending on your OBIEE version, I believe 11.1.1.6.2BP1 added MDS XML support. You can update the XML files. Other than that, its a One and One update.
Thanks,
Jon

Problem creating cache group for a table with data type varchar2(1800 CHAR)

Hi,
I am using TimesTen 7.0 with Oracle 10.2.0.4 server. While creating Cache Group for one of my table I'm getting the following error.
5121: Non-standard type mapping for column TICKET.DESCRIPTION, cache operations are restricted
5168: Restricted cache groups are deprecated
5126: A system managed cache group cannot contain non-standard column type mapping
The command failed.
One of my filed type in oracle table is Varchar2(1800 CHAR). If I change the filed size to <=1000 it (E.g. Varchar2(1000 CHAR)) then the Create Cache command works fine.
MyDatabase Character Set is UTF8.
Is it possible to solve without changing the filed size in the Oracle Table?
Request your help on this.
Thanks,
Sunil

Mixed case in column & table name

Hi,
How can tell SQL to use mixed case for column & table name?
For example:
create table PerNode (netId number, nodeId number);
select netId, nodeId from PerNode;
The above statements automatically made to upper case. But I wanted to retain the case sensitiveness in the column & table names.
I know a way by including the names in double quote in the case will make this to retain the case.
But I don't want to give all the time the column & table names within double quote.
What I wanted to know is that is there any ALTER kind of statement will make the SQL to use the case I use in the name of the column & table.
I greatly appreciate your advice.
Thanks,
--JK

Oracle column names and table names are case insensitive unless you enclose them in quotes.
Unless you want to have two tables, one called PerNode and one called pernode or some such, I'm not sure what benefit case sensitivity would have. One can certainly use mixed case SQL statements in stored procedures and ad-hoc SQL for readability-- only in the Oracle internals is everything changed to upper case.

How to implement line selectability for a table control using table Wizard?

Hello SDN Community,
I have created a table control using the Table Wizard. I found my exact question in this forum, but unfortunately it had not been andsered. While I cannot paste a screen-print into this plane-text area, here are the steps I followed...
1) SE51
2) Create new screen 0100
3) Click Layout button
4) Clidk Table Control (with Wizard) and draw box on canvas.
5) Step is "Start" - click Continue
6) Step is "Name of Table Control" - provided name
7) Step is "Table Name" - provided name of dictionary table (AUFK)
8) Step is "Definition of Columns" - selected order numver and order text
9) Step is "Table Control Attributes" - Line Selectability is in display mode - cannot set it.
I would like to have a selectability column for my table. Would appreciate any insight into how to do this.
Thank you,
Dean Atteberry.

This is a puzzling...
For the table control wizard, in the Table Control Attributes step, I was able to get line selectability to open up by declaring a char01 data element at the beginning of my type.
The puzzling is in regards to the "Selection col. fld" entry field.
If I leave it blank and try to go to the next step, I get message "Enter the name of the selection column if you are using a program table"
So it looked like it wanted to know the name of my selection column. So I type in "CHAR1". and got the message "The field "CHAR1" for the selection column is already contained in the table."
Hmmmmm.... don't understand............

2 lines description in column table VC

Hi
I am working with VC. I have a table and columns description must be long.
Is it possible to have 2 lines of description in a table?
Best regards
Carlos

Hi Carlos,
I think it's not possible, but I have never tried it. You can add a formula for your column text and use CHR(13) for the line break, e.g. "TEXT 1" & CHR(13) & "TEXT2".
This works for a plain text field, but I haven't tried that so far for a table column.
Best Regards,
Marcel

How to import the column short description for Datastore in ODI

Hi
I am loading AS400/DB2 table in to oracle db staging tables. These AS400 table has 70 to 80 columns each with short description. Using common format designer I am able to get the DDL for the oracle db so that I do not have manually type in the table definition.
1. But how do I get the each column short description into Datastore?
2. In oracle Datastore where does the COLUMN Comments appear?
Thanks

in snp_table->table_desc column
comments cannot be reversed when using standard reverse.
for db2 400, I suppose you can use "RKM DB2 400", i can see it reverse table comment as below

User Datastore for multiple tables and columns!

Hi,
I hop so much, someone can help me.
I've made a user datastore to index multiple columns of multiple tables.
Now, the Documentation of Oracle explains the idexing of one table.
I have multiple tables, which have all, the columns descr and tagnr. I want to make a query sth like this:

is it possible to index 4 seperate tables, without having a collective key? I dont want to make a Concatenated Datastore.

Any Help would be appriciated!!
Kind Regards,
Arsineh

Arsineh,
I realise that it has been quite some time since you posted this question but I thought I'd reply just in case you never did manage to get your user datastore working.
The reason your procedure will not work is simple. A user datastore procedure accepts a rowid input parameter. The rowid is the ID of the row that Oracle Text is currently trying to index. In the example you have given, you are attempting to use the supplied rowid as the primary key for multiple tables, this will simply never work as the rowid's across multiple tables will never correspond.
The best way to achieve your goal is to create the index on a master table which contains the common primary keys for each of your four tables e.g.
MASTER_TABLE
COL:COMMON_KEY (NUMBER(n))
COL:USER_INDEX_COLUMN (VARCHAR2(1))
If you create the user datastore index on the MASTER_TABLE.USER_UNDEX_COLUMN column your stored proc simply needs to read the correct row from the MASTER_TABLE (SELECT t.common_key into v_CommonKey FROM master_table t WHERE t.rowid = rid) and issue subsequent queries to extract the relavant data from the t1..t4 tables using the common key e.g.
SELECT t1.tagnr, t1.descr into v_tagnr, v_descr FROM t1 WHERE t1.[PRIMARY_KEY_FIELD] = v_CommonKey;
SELECT t2.tagnr, t2.descr into v_tagnr, v_descr FROM t2 WHERE t2.[PRIMARY_KEY_FIELD] = v_CommonKey;
and so on...
Hope this helps

Sample data above and below is the dataype for each one of them
alpha datatype- string
beta datatype-integer
gamma datatype-integer
col1,col2,col3 are all string datatypes.
Note:columns are not unique and we would be using alpha,beta,gamma to uniquely identify a record .Now as you see my sample data this is in a table which doesnt have index .I would like to have a index created covering these columns (alpha,beta,gamma) .I
beleive that creating clustered index having covering columns will be better.
What would you recommend the index type should be here in this case.Say data volume is 1 milion records and we always use the alpha,beta,gamma columns when we filiter or query records
what index is suitable for a table with no unique columns and primary key?

Many thanks for your explanation .
When I tried querying using the below query on my heap table the sql server suggested to create NON CLUSTERED INDEX INCLUDING columns ,[beta],[gamma] ,[col1]
,[col2] ,[col3]
SELECT [alpha]
,[beta]
,[gamma]
,[col1]
,[col2]
,[col3]
FROM [TEST].[dbo].[Test]
where [alpha]='10100'
My question is why it didn't suggest Clustered INDEX and chose NON clustered index ?

How to set initial column widths for a table

What I'd like to do is to control the initial column widths for a table.
I'm building the table by using a class which extends AbstractTableModel. This class takes care of setting the headers and reading the data for the table.
If I do the following:
VarTableModel vtm = new VarTableModel(vi);
JTable jt = new JTable(vtm);
JScrollPane jsp = new JScrollPane(jt);
frame.getContentPane().add(jsp);
frame.setVisible(true);
I will see a table in my window. The widths of the columns are equal and are a function of the horizontal dimension of the window.
I have tried to set the width of a column by doing the following:
TableColumn aColumn;
aColumn = jt.getColumn(vtm.getColumnName(0));
aColumn.setWidth(40);
But this has no effect on what gets displayed. I can force the widths that I want by using 'setMaxWidth' but this has the unfortunate side effect of not allowing the user to make the column wider if they want.
What I'd like is a way to specify the widths of the columns when initially displayed and then let the user adjust to their liking.
I'm sure that there is a way to do this, but I don't seem to understand where to intervene in the process to produce the effect that I want.
Any help or suggestions will be greatly appreciated!

Table.setAutoResizeMode(JTable.AUTO_RESIZE_OFF);
add this line and try ur codeThanks for the suggestion! Unfortunately, it doesn't seem to do the trick. Here is an abbreviated segment of my code:
vtm = new VarTableModel(vi);
JTable jt = new JTable(vtm);
// we want a horizontal scrollbar, so turn resizing off
// and we want to control column widths
jt.setAutoResizeMode(JTable.AUTO_RESIZE_OFF);
aColumn = jt.getColumn(vtm.getColumnName(0));
aColumn.setWidth(40);
. // same kind of thing for each column
aColumn = jt.getColumn(vtm.getColumnName(4));
aColumn.setWidth(400);
JScrollPane jsp = new JScrollPane(jt);
frame.getContentPane().add(jsp);
frame.setVisible(true);
If I do the above, the table gets displayed with each of the five columns the exact same width. So, the sizing of the columns is happening somewhere else despite turning auto resizing off.
Where is that occurring and how can I intervene so that I can control the widths of the columns on initial display and still allow the user to adjust the widths if they so choose?

How to set column widths in tables for selected table only, not globally throughout document?

I've been utilizing the below script (thank you so much Ramkumar. P!) to set column widths throughout a sizable InDesign book with tables on every page and it is truly a time saver. At this point in time, I have three versions of it because there are different column widths throughout the book. Is it possible to augment the script to run only on a selected text frame (containing a table)? If so, would someone be kind enough to share the augmented script with me? I've been trying to figure out this seemingly simple change through trial and error with no success as yet. I realize this is a totally newbie request and I'm entirely at the mercy of the kindness of the Javascript gods that contribute within this forum. Seeing that in a different post related to this script, one such guru responded to a request as simple as "Where do I put the scripts in InDesign" gave me enough courage to ask for some help! Thank you in advance to anyone willing to provide a solution.
var myDoc = app.activeDocument;
     var myWidths = [100, 100, 150, 150];
     for(var T=0; T < myDoc.textFrames.length; T++){
         for(var i=0; i < myDoc.textFrames[T].tables.length; i++){
             for(var j=0; j < myWidths.length; j++){
                 myDoc.textFrames[T].tables[i].columns[j].width = myWidths[j];
     alert("Table width updated successfully...");

Hello all
I have the same problem in that I'm not a scripting person, but was able to get the above script working without problem, and it does set irregular table column widths perfectly, so thanks to Ramkumar. P for that.
BUT, it changes the column width for ALL tables in the document, whereas I would like to just target the selected table.
Any ideas as to how I might amend this script to achieve this?
Thx, Christian

Table sort is not working for columns.

Hi,
I am using TableSort.java class. Followed https://www.sdn.sap.com/irj/servlet/prt/portal/prtroot/com.sapportals.km.docs/library/user-interface-technology/wd%20java/wdjava%20archive/developing%20with%20tables%20in%20web%20dynpro.pdf
to create the action and assigned that to onSort event for the table. When I run, I see the ascending-descending icons besides the columns, but nothing happens when I click them. Here is the context.
Context

Hi Srinivas,
If you want to do an initial sort. You have to add the following method to the TableSorter class.
public void initialSort(String columnId, IWDNode dataSource) {
          // find the things we need
          String direction = WDTableColumnSortDirection.UP;
          IWDTableColumn column = (IWDTableColumn) table.getView().getElement(columnId);
          NodeElementByAttributeComparator elementComparator = (NodeElementByAttributeComparator) comparatorForColumn.get(column);
          if (elementComparator == null){
               //not a sortable column
               column.setSortState(WDTableColumnSortDirection.NOT_SORTABLE);
               return;
          // sorting
          elementComparator.setSortDirection(WDTableColumnSortDirection.valueOf(direction));
          dataSource.sortElements(elementComparator);
In your wdDoModifyView() after initializing the tablesorter class you have to call the above method.
if (firstTime) {
            IWDTable table = (IWDTable) view.getElement("Table");
            wdContext.currentContextElement().setTableSorter(
               new TableSorter(table, wdThis.wdGetSortAction(), null));
                  wdContext.currentContextElement().getTableSorter().initialSort("Your Column ID", wdContext.nodeUser_Search_Results());
Can you double check in your code if the table is bound to the node "User_Search_Results" and not "User_Table". If the table is bound to the "User_Table" then the sort will not work since in the code you are sorting the node "User_Search_Results".
If you want to implement sort on only one column you can use the alternate constructor for the TableSorter class.
TableSorter(IWDTable table, IWDAction sortAction, Map comparators, String[] sortableColumns)
You have to give a String array of columns that need to be sort enabled.

Sanyev

Default column sort order for 11g table

Could anyone give me some indication on how I would go about setting the default sort order for a table?
I have a table with a few columns, and dataset returns in a particular order, but my table decides to sort if in any given order until I manually click on the column header and sort it.
I would like to have it done by default on a particular field.
Any info is appreciated.
Thanks
Jonny

As Chris says, the easiest way and best re-use way is to use the order-by clause in your underlying model layer SQL query. For instance in ADF BC this would be in a View Object's query.
However as you haven't dictated your model layer technology, there is another way in JDev 11g. In your web page that contains the ADF Faces RC table, select the binding tab at the bottom of the page, then double click on the iterator in the binding page, and in the Edit Iterator Binding dialog, select the Sort Criteria tab. This allows you to override the sort order on the iterator's columns.
