Stop Service on All Machines to Upgrade or Update

Repository
Before upgrading to a new release or updating the repository, stop Oracle Data
Relationship Management services on all machines that point to the source repository.
Otherwise, the Data Relationship Management application schema may contain stale
Engine Info records, causing the Data Relationship Management application to fail to
start afterward.

Analytics Deployments to a WebLogic Domain Name Other

than EPMSystem
For Oracle Data Relationship Management Analytics deployments, the default name of
the WebLogic domain is EPMSystem and is hardcoded into the createDrmSvc.cmd file. If
your domain is not named EPMSystem then, before running an installation or upgrade,
you must edit the createDrmSvc.cmd file to change EPMSystem to the name of your
domain. Edit the following lines in the createDrmSvc.cmd file.

set USERDOMAIN_HOME=%MW_HOME%\user_projects\domains\EPMSystem

call"%MW_HOME%\user_projects\domains\EPMSystem\bin\setDomainEnv.cmd"

Considerations for Using Data Relationship Management

SOAP Service
• An AppParameters Element must occur in the Oracle Data Relationship
Management SOAP Header for the message to process correctly at the Data
Relationship Management and Oracle Data Relationship Governance Web
services.
• When using Stateful Sessions in the Data Relationship Management and Data
Relationship Governance Web services, the SessionMaintainParams Element

 Chapter 1
Considerations for Installing on an IIS Server with Multiple Websites and Services Configured

must occur before the AppParameters Element in the SOAP Header for the
operation to be processed correctly on the Stateful Session. Otherwise, the
Stateful Session ID will not be recognized and will not be processed.

Considerations for Installing on an IIS Server with Multiple

Websites and Services Configured
The Oracle Data Relationship Management Installer is generally designed to install the
Data Relationship Management client applications to the Default Website, where the
Default Website’s IIS Site Number is 1. In special circumstances where the first IIS site
is non-HTTP, or the Default Website is not IIS Site Number 1, the Data Relationship
Management client applications may need to undergo a one-time manual installation
into IIS. For any customer impacted with this special situation, contact Support for
assistance if needed.

Local Formula Functions

The following functions are only local in scope and will not function properly if used in
a global context:
• AncestorProp
• DualAncestorProp
• HasParentNode
• HasSiblingWith
• IsNodeAbove
• ListAncestors
• ListSiblings
• NextSibling
• NodeAccessGroups
• ParentPropValue
• PreviousSibling
The following are functions can be local in scope if a local property is passed in the
parameters:
• InheritedPropOrigin
• IsDefinedPropVal
• ListNodePropValues
• NodeIsValidForPropertyHiers
• NodePropValue
• OrigPropValue
• PropValue
• ReplacePropValue
The ListRelatedNodesWith function is local in scope if the relationship parameter is
Ancestors or Siblings.

SharedNodeDelimiter and SharedNodeSequenceSeparator Characters

SharedNodeDelimiter and SharedNodeSequenceSeparator

Characters
Different characters must be used when setting up the SharedNodeDelimiter and
SharedNodeSequenceSeparator system preferences. For example, if the
SharedNodeDelimniter is a colon, the SharedNodeSequenceSeparator character
cannot be a colon.

Note:
The SharedNodeDelimiter character should not be used anywhere that would
affect node names.

Quoted Strings in Exports

When the Quoted Strings option is selected for export, each column value will be
enclosed in quotes. Any existing quotes within the column value will be doubled.
For example,
=IF("ABC","XYZ",)

changes to
"=IF(""ABC"",""XYZ"",)"

Close Version Parameter Correction

There is an error in the “Using the Data Relationship Management Batch Client”
chapter of the Oracle Data Relationship Management User's Guide. The command
line parameter for Close Version should be /vabbrev.

Notification Emails
Oracle Data Relationship Governance notification emails are not sent to the user
performing the action. For example, if User A and User B are authorized to commit a
request and User A performs the commit, User B receives an email notification of the
commit, however User A does not receive an email notification.

Script Validation for Move

To create a script validation for a Move:
1. On the Home page, select Administer.
2. From New, select Validation.
3. From Class, select Script.
By default, validation level is Node and run mode is Batch.
4. Under Run this Validation, select Real Time.
This enables the validation to be triggered on a particular action (such as Move).
5. From Level, select Move.

Note:
The Level option is above the Real Time option that you selected in step 4.

6. Save the validation.

HTTP Quality of Service Issues

HTTP Quality of Service Issues

The Oracle Data Relationship Management Client delivers a rich user experience via
web browser over HTTP. For customers running the Data Relationship Management
Client over a network with extremely high latency, high hop counts, or other low HTTP
QoS, it may be necessary to deliver the Data Relationship Management Client via
browser sessions hosted on a Citrix Server, RDP gateway server, or other comparable
UI hosting solution within the Data Relationship Management datacenter to mitigate
networking issues.

FindByProperties and ADMIN User

The ADMIN user cannot be added to custom Property Categories in 11.1.2 Oracle
Data Relationship Management. As a consequence, if a property listed in the
FindByProperties system preference is not added to a Property Category that ADMIN
is already a member of, then ADMIN will not be able to perform a Find with that
property in the Hierarchy Browse window.

Access to ROLE_ROLE_PRIVS is Required

Oracle Data Relationship Management requires access to ROLE_ROLE_PRIVS for
database export external connections.

Overridden Name or Parent Not Calculated

If a workflow model has been set up to allow Recalculated Task Properties and the
calculated Name or Parent is manually overridden, then the Name or Parent will not be
calculated again during that stage or any subsequent stage.
