AWM and ETL

Hi all,
I'm using AWM 10.2.3.0 to design cubes and dimensions but I have a problem.
In the mapping of dimensions or cubes I need to use the features of ETL, like do join or use a constant but they are not available.
What I can do? Am I missing any plug-in or extension?
Thanks in advance.
Gianni.

Hi Gianni,
AWM contains a simple mapping feature and is not meant to cater for ETL requirements. Oracle Warehouse Builder (OWB) is the tool to use if you want a solution which contains both ETL and cube building functionality.
regards,
Gary

Data Warehouse and ETL tools for data verification ?

Data Warehouse and ETL tools for data verification ?
How need to to data verification using ETL tool ? Also how to relate this thing to datawaehouse ?
Thanks in Advance

Hi Shyamal Kumar,
1) BW it self facilitates to do the ETL (Extraction Transformation Loading) steps:
     example:
                 Extraction - from SAP or other data bases
                 Transformation - using transfer rules, Updates rules
                 Loading - Loading into ODS, Cube, master data
2) Typically used ETL tools in the industry are:
     a)   datastage from Ascential (owned by IBM)
     b)   Informatica
     c)   Mercator

Low-Cost data migration and ETL tools

Hi, Im building a database for my company. We are a rather small size book company with a lot of references and still growing.
We have a Mysql database here and are trying to find some good tools to use it at its best. Basically we are just starting up the database after dealing with Excel: we had a size problemu2026 So im trying to find a program that will allow us to do two different things: the migration of our data from the old system to the new one and a specialized software to perform ETL (Extract, transform and load) on our database.
About the price of the tools, if we were one year ago, the accounting department would have been pretty relaxed about this. But today, we have some budget restrictions and therefore need a low cost tool. So could you give me some advice on a good data migration and etl tool for a low cost?
Thanks for your help.

Hi,
Some companies have budget problems and are having to reduce their cost of operation.
Have you ever heard of open source tools? They can do the job easily and less expensive than proprietary solutions that cost a lot of money.
You can have a look at a good ETL open source program called Talend Open Studio: it is user-friendly but also has advanced features intended for technical users (java debugger, code injectionu2026). It can perform data migration and ETL as you wrote in your first post.
The website is [here|http://www.talend.com/solutions-data-integration/data-migration.php] to download the open source program. They have a forum and documentation you can read. Tell us what you think about the software.

Oracle datawarehouse and ETL

Hi Friends,
Iam new to Oracle dataware house and ETL,i have some some doubts please advice me.
1.i have installed oracle warehouse builder and stated trying mapping section.
Iam not using any ETL tool, without using ETL tool we can do the ETL process ???
please advice.
Vinu

The Oracle Warehouse Builder (OWB) is an ETL tool. So there's nothing that prevents you from designing ETL processes apart from, maybe, missing knowledge. With OWB and an Oracle database you've got all what you need to create mappings.

AWM and remote connectivity

I have AWM Release 2 and I connect to Oracle Rel 2 remotely.
- I notice that the connection drops when the AWM is untouched for a while.
- I can't disconnect it. Gives error while detaching the work space.
- I exit AWM and try connect again it gives error message that another user already attached.
- Only way I can work around is by restarting Oracle on the remote machine (shutdown immediate - startup )
Is there a way to keep the AWM session active always ??

Rubik,
I have the same problem with AWM, however, you shouldnt need to shutdown the database in order to re-attach the AW. You should be able to kill the session that is holding the AW open in RW mode by either of the following methods:
Use OX available here:
http://www.oracle.com/technology/software/htdocs/eaplic.html?http://download.oracle.com/otn/java/olap/ox_install_win.zip
.. and take a look at the Session Manager -> Kill tool.
Kill your session from sql *Plus
sqlplus / as sysdba
select username, sid, serial# from v$session where username='YOUR_USER_NAME';
This will return your username, sid and serial#.
Then just:
alter system kill session SID, SERIAL#
Hope this helps.

Cluster log and etl files

We have a windows 2008 R2 cluster.
A few days ago, we had issues with this cluster.
I openend the cluster log, hoping to find the cause of the problem. But the last entry in the cluster log was dated 14 december 2013. Also the modified date of the failoverclustering.etl files is 24 december 2013. This is also the last time the
cluster was restarted.
(Yes, we are a little behind with the MS security patches)
If i have read some articles correct, then the Windows Event Tracing (ETW) process on each node should constantly writes to etl files. Correct?
If that's the case, what could cause this problem?
In windows 2003, the cluster.log was automatically generated. Do i have to create the cluster.log manually in W2kR2?
Thanx.

Ok. So with W2kR2 you have to create the cluster.log manually
Yes, i could see some errors in the system eventlog. Like this one:
Event 1146, FailoverClustering
The cluster resource host subsystem (RHS) stopped unexpectedly. An attempt will be made to restart it. This is usually due to a problem in a resource DLL. Please determine which resource DLL is causing the issue and report the problem to the resource
vendor.
I will generate the cluster.log. Hopefully i can see what was causing this problem
Thanks

AWM and Oracle BI Administration Tool

What's the relation between Analytic Workspace Manager and Oracle BI Administration Tool?
They both can build cubes.
So can I use BI Administration Tool of OBIEE only not in combination with Analytic Workspace?
If I only use BI Administration Tool of OBIEE to create cube is there any other problem?
My database is 10g not 11g and I use Analytic Workspace Manager 10.2.0.3.0A.
I feel all functions of AWM are included in OBI-EE administrator, so for what do we use AWM? Can we use OBI-EE administrator only?
I am exploring every aspect of OBIEE usage.
What's the difference between "building" and "defining" the cube? Physical data generation?
I feel in 10g AWM is use less at all...
Edited by: wbb826 on Apr 8, 2010 1:24 PM

Both comments are correct.
You can build your cubes in AWM which will map data from your relational tables and allow you to aggregate the numbers.
In 11g cube views are created already and can be imported into OBIEE to create a reporting layer. The plugin works well. In 10g you need to define a whole heap of metadata on the OLAP side to expose the data within cubes to then import into OBIEE.
You are correct in saying OBIEE can create and report on multi-dimensional data, but the problem is with performance. OBIEE will have to aggregate the data on the fly and then return results. Whereas if you leave the aggregation to the OLAP side you will be able to report on pre-aggregated data inside of OBIEE using the cube views.
If you are starting this exercise, then i suggest you go with an 11g level-based hierarchy setup and use the plugin for OBIEE.

Problems with AWM and WS .. bug?

Hi.
When I try to create my programs using AWM, some of this programs, lock the tree for the PROGRAM object. The compile button gives success for the programs I create.
Also in the worksheet, when i define a new program and EDIT it ... I can't save it. I have to select no save to close the window.
Any feedback would be appreciated.

Problem AWM and Oracle Entreprise Edition

Hello,
first of all, I would like to apologize for my English, it is not my first language (the second neither).
Now my problem:
     For my last year of school I have to do a work on BI and the first part of it, is to test and work on ROLAP and MOLAP system.
     My assistant had installed the Oracle data base Enterprise Edition 11g and now I’m trying to use Analytic Workspace Manager like it is said in your Oracle OLAP User’s Guide but when I try to create a new dimension (for example : Product), I receive some message errors, like :
     java.sql.SQLException: Exception d'E/S: Software caused connection abort: socket write error
     or
     the object was closed
     or
     oracle.express.idl.util.OlapiException: java.sql.SQLException: No more data to read from socket
What can I do ?
What could be the problem ?
Thanks very much for your help,
David

I find it :
you have to increase the temp space and it work ...

AWM and 64 bit database

Trying to run Analytic Workspace Manager against the 64-bit version of Oracle running on an Intel 64EMT processor (not Itanium). When trying to connect to a database, I get the error "ocijdbc10.dll not a valid Win32 application". Do I need a different dll? Thanks for any help....

Are you using AWM 10.2.0.3? If yes then check out 10.2.0.3 Release of Analytic Workspace Manager? link. There are some problems with connecting to the database using tns entry. If you specify AWM coonection as url then you should be succesful. Hope this will help.

Build in OWB and make map in AWM?

Hi all,
Would it be possible to design and deploy the dimensional objects (dims/cubes) using OWB and make a mapping to populate them using AWM? These are all MOLAP objects. The advantage of designing in OWB is the editor and e.g. the ability to add calculated measures in cubes using the wizard.
Just did a quick test. When deploying a MOLAP dimension from OWB, in AWM it shows the map with several OWB-generated views to populate the object. I don't want to use those since I don't want to build a map in OWB. I have a simple 1-to-1 view to populate the object in AWM. However, when removing the OWB views from the map in AWM and replacing it by my view, when applying the changes it comes back with an error:
An error occurred creating DimensionMapGroup D_DIM_EMPLOYEE_M.TOTAL.MAPGROUP1.DIMENSIONMAPGROUP : ***Error Occured in DELETE_MAPPING_GROUP: You provided extra input starting at '$'.
The error detail window shows:
oracle.AWXML.AWException: An error occurred creating DimensionMapGroup D_DIM_EMPLOYEE_M.TOTAL.MAPGROUP1.DIMENSIONMAPGROUP : ***Error Occured in DELETE_MAPPING_GROUP: You provided extra input starting at '$'.

If this doesn't work it's just another blow to our olap-in-oracle implementation plan.
Does anybody have experience with this issue?
Thanks,
Ed

You'd better make the reservation of Genius Bar and show them about your problem.

OWB and AWM for loading DWH

Hello,
I am on the following version:
DB: Oracle 10.2.0.1 (both source DB and target DWH)
OWB : 10.2.0.1
AWM : 10.2.0.1
I have the following process:
From the source DB I use OWB to load relational dimensions (SCD 2). I use AWM to load data from these dimensional tables to a Analytic workspace. I use OWB because I need to track changes (SCD) and use AWM because OWB currently does not support Parent-Child dimensions where as AWM supports. I would love to load AW from OWB directly if it had parent-child support.
My question is:
All the load should be trigger-based, When my process (SQL) completes on the source table the OWB process of loading the relational dimension should start which is not a problem, I using the run_owb_code.sql for this. once the run_owb_code is complete, I want the AWM's maintain data process to start. I don't know how to do it. I tried saving the maintenance task to script and tried executing it, it doesn't seem to work. I don't want to AWM and run cube maintenance every time the cube needs to be refreshed.
Please note I don't have a cube in the relation world. My fact(cube) in the AW is a direct load from a table (as I don't need SCD here) so basically use OWB just to load the dimensions alone. AWM creates the actual cube with the dimension tables loaded using OWB and the fact table from source, So I don't think I can use the "dbms_awm.refresh_awcube(...".
Can somebody please help me in automating this load process
Thanks a lot in advance!
Maruthi

Hello,
I am sorry, after some research, I came across this post
Re: Cube and dimension refresh proactively
As per the above post, the script that is generated using AWM will work if the AW is not attached by any user.
I detached the AW and executed the script and the cube was populated with data.
Thanks,
Maruthi

ETL with OWB and Workspace Manager with Analytic Workspace Manager?

I already created my dimensions and cubes with "warehouse builder", as a tables, so can I map them in the dimensions and cubes defined with "analytic workspace manager?
please somone help, becasue I can't found this information on a manual "OLAP application's developers guide".
also, whichis the manual that I have to follow to create things in AWM? i think is this that I use "OLAP application's developers guide"
Someone can tell me something?
Thanks.

Hi,
I.m using OWB 10.1.0.4.0 and choosing "Project" then "Metadata Export" and finally "Bridge" I can lanch a wizard that allow me to choose between 3 kind of export.
If you choose OLAP the wizard will ask you which collection of metadata to export and other options, after succesfully running this wizard (which is not so easy) you can open the AWM and see the export of your dimesion and cube iside an AW.
I'm finding lots of problems using this feature due to the limited options I can set to the cube and the dimension (type of aggregations, calculated measures, limit on the number of measures in the cube, etc.).
Waiting for the new OWB Paris if you can post your experience it will be very appreciated.
Good luck,
Franco
