Changes in Source Database.

Hi All,
OWB Config Details is as follows.
OWB ver 9.2 with Windows NT
Oracle 9i.
In near future we are expecting changes in source database i.e. source database from existing will change to a new database which may be same or different.
The level of changes identified are as follows.
Table Name Changes
Column Name Changes
Business Logic Changes
View name changes
I guess there will be changes in other parameter like ip address,sid, dblink ..etc.
I knew in OWB 9.0.2.56 column level changes can be incorporated by re-importing the table & adding,modifying or deleting the column & by selecting in-bound / out-bound reconcillation option in mapping editor. I would like to know is it the same way we need to do in OWB 9.2 version or is there any better way or utility which can ease this task?
As per my knowledge we will need to do it for each & every mapping & in case of business logic change, we will need to recreate the mapping.
Can someone help me in this?
Thanks in Advance.

Vidyanand

Hi Igor,
You are talking about simplifying matters when there have been changes in the source, and that that is going to be in the release of Q2-2004.
Which release might that be and - since it is already mid september - is it already 'on the market'?
What I'm looking for is an 'easy' way to incorporate changes in source objects in all mapping objects that are not database objects.
So far this has always been a manual job, since only DB-objects can be reconciled. If you have a very big mapping with a lot of objects between source and target DB-object, this has proven to be extremely time-consuming, since all objects have to be opened and the attribute properties of altered columns manually adjusted to the new situation.
Is this wat you are talking about that is going to be greatly improved?
If not, what would be the best approach for these sorts of operations?
Cheers, Patrick

I can not map field after changing data source location

Hi
I have a small problem that I got a report file and database from my customer, after that I setup database, open the file and change data source to my setting. but some filed can not map. The field mapping widonw does not display all field in the table. Of course I have checked the missing fields are existing in the table.
OS:Windows7
DB:Oracle11
CR:XI Release 2
Does anyone have an idea?

hi,
In Map Fields window, there is an option "Match Type".
Please Unchek that option, so that you will be able to see all the fields from that table.
Also, while mapping please verify the datatypes of source and target fields.

Change of a database link in OWB

I have a good suggestion to change a a database link when a server is moved to another location (in that case the database link of the source module has to be changed)
In OWB 9.0.2 it's not impossible to delete a database link in OWB, so you have to do it manually
(in 9.0.4 it should be possible, but this version is also not easy to use).
- Start SQL Plus and log in as the schema on which the OWB repository is created (e.g. OWB).
- Drop the database link ('drop database link <dblink name>')
- Create a new database link in the same schema with the new parameters, e.g:
CREATE DATABASE LINK "<dblink name>"
CONNECT TO "<...>" IDENTIFIED BY "<...>"
USING '(DESCRIPTION = (ADDRESS_LIST = (ADDRESS = (PROTOCOL = TCP) (Host = <hostname>) (PORT = 1521))) (CONNECT_DATA = (SID = <sid> )))'
Done!
No stupid errors in OWB when you create the database link in OWB itself.

Maurice

Your positive reply will be appreciated...
Thank you very much in advance...

As for adding members to the outline, you can either do it manually (not too painful for a Time Periods dimension), or if you have the members you need in a file, or available via SQL, then load 'em up using a Load Rule. Using the Parent/Child relationship is one of the preferred methods, but that means your source data needs to be in a parent / child relationship.
There are other ways in the load rule, Generation, Level, etc, but if your source data isn't very good these methods of building the dimension can be a little harder to control.
Here's a link to the DBAG for dataload rules.

Source database in NOARCHIVELOG temporarily for maintenance

Hi all,
We have a big maintenance to run next week end. There will be mostly index rebuild, statistics gathered and so. We are using 10.2.0.3. Source database is a RAC one.
We would like to put our database in NOARCHIVELOG temporarily during this maintenance windows. This may sound like an easy task, but i rather consider it as a risky one - I need a 100% safe procedure!!
I wonderer, if there is arcticles in Oracle documentation or Metalink that could help.
I think I know several of the steps required:
- Stop the capture
- Put the database in NOARCHIVELOG mode
- Re-instantiate the tables using dbms_capture_adm.prepare_table_instantiation on the source database
- Ré-instantiate the tables using dbms_apply_adm.set_table_instantiation_scn on the destination database
- I think I will have to advance the SCN on the capture but I'm not sure if I have to change the FIRST_SCN or the START_SCN or both?
- Put the database back in ARCHIVELOG mode
- Start the capture
I'm not sure in wich order i have to do these tasks.
Thank you for any advice/link on that subjet!
Jocelyn

Thanks a lot Rijesh for your response,
In the meantime, I do my own search and came to the same conclusion.
I also experimented with note 471695.1 on Metalink (Required Steps to Recreate a Capture Process). It "almost" works! It recreates the capture correctly, but it does not carry the existing table rules... (the content of DBA_STREAMS_TABLE_RULES before dropping the capture).
So it's probably going to be much easier to recreate the whole thing from scratch (we have an existing procedure that is very mature).

Jocelyn

ADF (View Object) with open source database

Hi all,
Recently, I am evaluating JDeveloper 9.0.5.2 ADF with an open source database (Firebird).
I follow the instruction to:
1. Create an entity object
2. Create a view object for the entity object in 1
3. Create an application module for the view object in 2
4. Right click on the application module and test -> all worked fine
5. I created a jsp and drag the view (in 2) to it from Data Control Palette
6. Test it in OC4J -> an error occurred (not because of jdbc config)
JBO-27122: SQL error during statement preparation. Statement: SELECT * FROM (SELECT Department.DEPT_NO, Department.DEPARTMENT AS DEPARTMENT1, Department.HEAD_DEPT, Department.MNGR_NO, Department.BUDGET, Department.LOCATION, Department.PHONE_NO FROM DEPARTMENT Department) QRSLT ORDER BY DEPT_NO
GDS Exception. 335544569. Dynamic SQL Error SQL error code = -104 Token unknown - line 1, char 16 SELECT
To my knowledge, the error should be due to Firebird doesn't support the query syntax " select * (select col1, col2... from table) QRSLT where... order by... "
I am quite headache as this query is automatically generated by JDeveloper. I am figuring out whether I can change it. It seems that I have to play with the ViewObjectImpl class.
I do think ADF is an amazing technology. However, is it only so amazing with the Oracle technologies? Please correct me if I am wrong.
Hons

Dear Shay Shmeltzer,
Thank you for your reply. After hours of trying on Firebird, I still get the error:
JBO-27122: SQL error during statement preparation. Statement: SELECT * FROM (SELECT Department.DEPT_NO, Department.DEPARTMENT AS DEPARTMENT1, Department.HEAD_DEPT, Department.MNGR_NO, Department.BUDGET, Department.LOCATION, Department.PHONE_NO FROM DEPARTMENT Department) QRSLT ORDER BY DEPT_NO
GDS Exception. 335544569. Dynamic SQL Error SQL error code = -104 Token unknown - line 1, char 16 SELECT
I then downloaded the MySQL 4.0 and install on my system to do the exact procedures. No error! Thing works fine! Oh man...
For the Firebird case, a strange thing to note is that the data table (I dragged) contains data, but the error message is on top of it.
Actually, I don't have a particular database preference but I do hope ADF can work equally for these open-source databases. I think the problem may also be contributed by Firebird. Hope that I can figure it out this week.
Regards,
Hons

RFWT0020 withholding tax data - Data Regen vs. Change to Source Tax Code?

Can anyone explain the difference between these two options when running RFWT0020 to update withholding tax data? Data Regeneration vs. Changes to Source Tax Code? I can't find any mention of the two options in the program documentation
When I do test runs with the two different options, the program is selecting difference documents to update. If we are just turning on the 1099 functionality now (beginning with the 2011 tax year), should I run the program once with Regeneration mode and once with Changes to Source Tax Code???
Thanks for any advice!
Allison

Hi,
he program enables the withholding tax code to be changed for reconciled and open items with existing withholding tax data. For this, the tax rate of the existing withholding tax data as well as the tax rate of the new withholding tax code must be 0%. The new withholding tax codes are taken from the customer or vendor master data. In the case of extended withholding tax, the withholding tax code is only changed if the related withholding tax categories are the same. The withholding tax base amount is not changed by this procedure.
Recreating or changing the withholding tax data requires that the program first be executed for invoices and then executed for payments in a subsequent step.
When you start the program, the selection screen appears. You can make selections according to vendors, tax code 1, tax code 2 (vendor master record), customers, tax code 1, tax code 2 (customer master record), company codes, document numbers and posting data. The selection determines which items are checked for possible subsequent entries in tables BSEG, BSAK, BSIK, BSAD, BSID, WITH_ITEM.
You can also decide whether only withholding tax data is to be handled for cases where the documents in question contain no withholding tax data. There is no withholding tax data if no withholding tax entries exist for the item selected in table WITH_ITEM (extended withholding tax) or the die withholding tax fields in table BSEG are not filled.
The selection can also be made in test mode. If you do this, no changes are made in the database. You are therefore advised to run the program in test mode initially.

Aditya

Columns mismatch between Source database and Source in Informatica

Hi,
I'm trying to create few columns into the datawarehosue tables. I can see the columns in my source system (Siebel CRM) in toad. When I access the source table via Informatica Powercenter Designer. I don't see that column in the source tabel. I have a doubt that whether I'm connecting to the right source database from Informatica. How do I check this and change this? The column which I'm looking for in the source system is not custom column. Its Siebel out of the box column. Could any one provide more information on this.
Thanks in advance,
Ravi

You may have to reimport the table from the Source Analyzer workspace. When you import, make sure you are pulling from the correct source database and schema.
Informatica does not automatically update the table definition if the source changes.

CR-11.5/ODBC-Changing SQL-Server Database in same instance

I'm using CR 11.5 against SQL-Server 2005. In the same SQL-Server default instance, I have both Demo and Production databases. I've used both the SQL-Server Native ODBC driver, and the OLE/ADO driver as a trial. Some of my reports have used the standard Table selection method to generate the SQL; others have needed a Command script due to embedded subqueries.
My problem is getting a Demo reports changed over to Production reports. If I make up an original Demo ODBC connection against the Demo database, and then make up a new Production ODBC connection against the same instance but against the Production database, the Data Source will change over to the newly named ODBC connection, but the Database remains pointed at the previous Demo database despite the new ODBC connection telling it to do otherwise.
This seems particularly troublesome with the standard Table reports as the the new connection Database properties have to be changed to Production as well as the Database properties for every single table.
Also, is it possible to use just one ODBC connection and force the change by changing the default database from Demo to Production and updating the data?
Am I missing something here?
Thanks!

Changing Data Source for command objects

Hi,
My report (designed in CR 10) is running based on the Stored Procedure call using a command object; which is running successfully in the DEV environment. The report data source connectivity is a DSN.
Now i want to switch it to QA environment with different DSN name. When i tried to update the Change Data Source option, it doesn't allows to update the existing command with a new command!!!!
I don't know how to fix this. Could any one of you have idea, pls. share it here???
Thanks
Viswa

If you have same table structure in new data source then you can change the datasource connection.
Follow the steps in this article
KBase Article ID:c2016958
Article refers to:Crystal Reports 10
Symptom
In Crystal Reports (CR) 10, can you change the database connection of an existing command object to use a different database connection without the use of a Crystal Repository?
Resolution
Yes, you can change the database connection of an existing command object to use a different database connection without the use of a Crystal Repository by using the following steps:
====================
NOTE:
You must apply the CR 10 Monthly Hot Fix (cr10win_en.zip) and the CR 10 Database and Export Drivers Monthly Hot Fix (dbex10win_en.zip) before starting the steps below.
You can download these hot fixes at http://support.businessobjects.com/search
====================
1. Open a report with a command object.
2. Go the 'Database' menu and click 'Set Datasource Location'.
3. In the 'Set Datasource Location' dialog box, select the connection for the command object (the connection appears as a cylinder with a plug).
4. In the lower window, select the new connection and log on to the database.
5. Ensure the connection is highlighted for the command object in the top window, and the connection is highlighted for the new command object in the bottom window.
6. Click Update.
The database connection for the command object now changes to use the new database connection information.

Streams on a source Database with DataGuard in place

Hello,
I want to know what would be the impact on performance on setting up Streams on a 9i RAC Database, which already has DataGuard implemented to a single instance database.
From the forums I have read that Streams works closely with redo logs and it can also be affected by archiving, so if my source database is archiving locally and remotely because of DataGuard, could this affect functionality or performance?
Thank you in advance.

Sure it will not have any affect on the functionality. Streams mines redo logs (and archive logs if needed) for the DDL and DML changes. It depends in which protection mode is your Data Guard is configured.
If its Max Protection then Streams has nothing to do with DG
If its Max Performance and you use LGWR ASYNC then yes, both Streams and DG will be mining the redo logs and you may have some performance issues but I think it will be negligible. The LNS process outside the SGA will be responsible in DG env to transport the changes and a Capture process again outside the SGA will be held responsible to mine the changes in Streams setup.
Conceptually, this should not have any performance impact on your Primary.

Looks like the problem was that I changed sys and system password on the dbca final windows, that maybe wronged the instalation scripts.
When re-installed the AV Server I just press ok on that window without changing any password and it worked.
Hope that Helps.

Thanks in advance.You have to use Reports Trigger named BEFORE PARAMETER FORM and write the following sql
select sysdate into :Parameter_name from dual;
give your format mask at Parameter_name.
Hope this will help you

How can I change the source DB?

Hi all,
I have implemented an ETL with OWB where the source DB and the target DB both are Oracle.
Now I have the same source (the same structure, tables, indexes,...) DB in MSSQL. Then my question is: how can I change the connections without modifying the mappings?
I only want to change the source DB in Oracle to the same DB in MSSQL, therefore the mappings that are getting the data from Oracle then will get the data from MSSQL DB. Is it possible? or I have to create new mappings for MSSQL?
Many thanks in advance,
Victor.
p.d. hope my english is understable

Hi
To have one set of mappings that could be switched to point to one system or another would be possible using synonyms to the source, where the synonym could be refined at runtime.
You can have unbound table operators in OWB mappings that would be the name of the source item. It helps to understand a little about how the code generation works in order to do this. If you use a source table T in a schema S1, and the mappings is in schema S2, then the generated code would refer to S1.T and may even have a dblink so S1.T@dblink, an unbound table operator for table T would simply use the name T in the generated code, this lets you define T however you want in the schema where the mapping is deployed to. So T could be a synonym that points to a local Oracle table for example named S3.MYORATAB or it could be a SQLServer table referenced via the database gateway using MYSQLSERVERTAB@mysqlserverinstance
Here is a trick to quickly define an unbound table operator based on the table structure of an existing table. You can quickly create unbound table operators that look like other tables by adding an existing table which you have imported into the map, then add a new table operator and add it unbound with a name. Then map from the bound table operators in/out group to the unbound table operators in/out grp, this will define all of the attributes and datatypes, you can then delete the bound table operator to leave the unbound one.
An alternative would be to copy-paste the mappings and synchronize the source table operators with the SQLServer table definitions.
Cheers
David
