Connecting Oracle Warehouse Builder to an Informix data source

I am having trouble connecting Oracle Warehouse Builder to my Informix database. I am getting error ORQ-28545. Here is what I did: Under Project Explorer I went to Non-Oracle under Datases. Then right click on Informix and selected New. In the Create Module Window I edit a the Location. Gave it a name, Set Type to HOST:PORT:SERVICE, enter my username, passowrd, my Host IP, left Port as default(1521), enter my Service Name, Enter the Schema. Click on Test Connection and got the above mentioned error.

Hi,
the first you should configure access to your Informix database at target Oracle DB (OWB works with non-Oracle DB over HS).
So you should perform all steps described in Oracle Database Heterogeneous Connectivity Administrator's Guide (4.1 Setting Up Access to Non-Oracle Systems):

Oracle Warehouse Builder DB2 connectivity

hi.
is any one has the experience to use the OWB3i to connect to the DB2.
please tell me the way to do it.
thank you
cindy

Hi,
The gateway that Oracle provides for this purpose is Pure
Integrate.In pure integrate define a project(as we do in
warehouse builder).Then configure your ODBC source(it supports
SQl server, MS Access and variuos other Databases).Once defined
and configured take export of the project and import in
warehouse builder.
In OWB then You can keep on adding various modules and other
object in the imported Projects.The imported project will have
source module as configured in Pure integrate.With this you
don't need to export SQl server objects as flat files.

Creation data warehouse par l'outil oracle warehouse builder (OWB)

Bonjour,
Dans le cadre de mon PFE je veux construire un data warehouse par l'outil Oracle warehouse builder.
je cherche des exemples et un tutorial en français pour faire l'ETL d'une base de données de l'ERP JD Edwards.
SVP, aidez moi et merci.

Bonjour,
For examples try:
http://www.oracle.com/technetwork/developer-tools/warehouse/otn-collateral-086331.html
If you need them in French try changing the country / language on Oracle site, not sure what's available though as my French is not good enough to let me read documentation in that language.
Bonne chance

Oracle Warehouse Builder VS Oracle Data Integrator

Hi everybody,
I have a question that wish you can help me.
we have systems of x64 so we cant use Oracle Warehouse Builder (only support on system 32 bits), someone recommend us to use Data Integrator but i don't really know this application.
Anyway ODI 11.1.X.X could it be installed in x64:
All Oracle Fusion Middleware products that are indicated as certified on x64 processor based Oracle Linux 5.5 or 5 Update 5+, 64 bit operating system, are also supported on Exalogic X2-2.
What's is the different between OWB and ODI?
I read about it and see that ODI is powerfull and it apply "Data Quality" better than OWB, is it right?
Is it possible to exp/imp with metadata loader move metadates between OWB and ODI?

Hi,
well, the basic difference is hard to tell. ODI is based on so called knowledge module. This are implementations for physical access to all kind different database technologies (among ohter things). Therefore ODI used to be more flexible extracting data from different database technologies and also writing to them. But with OWB 11.2, these knowledge modules were integrated into owb as so-called template mappings. OWB has a stronger integration with the Oracle database and an Oracle database is always required. Oracle plans to integrate these two tools into one some day, whenever that will be. ODI offers more options for data quality (that are charged extra).
So technically, the two tools are not that different. They have different user interfaces anyway.
A big difference is the license. A basic version of OWB is included with the database license, so it can be used without extra charge. Most of our customers are using this version, even for large dwh implementations. If you buy am ETL license (or already have one), you may use both tools.
Before you decide on one of the tools, make sure you have enough manpower with the required skill available - internal or external.
Hope this helps,
Carsten.

Oracle Warehouse Builder

Dear buddies,
I need to migrate my tables and data from SQL Server 2005 to Oracle 10g.
My boss's requirement is I must be able to redo it at any point of time. Meaning, I should be able to use the script at any point to recreate the tables and reload them independently without using SQL Server or the existing configurations.
Does OracleWarehouse Builder provide such scripts after the migration or in the process of migration, which can be reused independently?
There are about 7 SQL Server databases and each has around 270 tables. Some would be totally new and some would involve merging.
Please advice me.
Thanks.

Hi everyone,
I tried to Just started like this
1 - Start - All programs - Oracle Home - Warehouse Builder - Administration - Repository Assitant - Basic Install -
2 - User Name=rep_user
password=rep_user
sysdba user name = sys
sysdba password = the password i gave during the database creation (using dbca)
hostname=localhost
port number = 1521
oracle service name = test6 (the name for the database & instance for which i just created)
When I click Next, this error pops us:
INS009: Unable to connect to the database with user SYS. jaba.sql.SQLException: IO Exception: The Network adapter could not establish the connection.
The remaining disk space for that drive is few gigs and I have created the database with the 16384.
Please advice on how I should go about this.
I have been struggling to perform my migration. I really hope someone would be able to guide me through.
OS: Windows 2003 Enter Edition
Oracle 10g
And I am not able to access anything from SQL Plus after I installed Oracle Warehouse Builder.
So, is the error I am facing something like to do with a bad installation? Do I need to uninstall my OWB or uninstall my oracle and OWB and reinstall them?
Please guide me.

Thanks a lot.

Problem with Starting with Oracle Warehouse Builder 11g Release 1

Hello,
I want to do the training modules for owb. I installed Oracle Databes 11g2 and was attempting to load all the demo files from the learning module Starting with Oracle Warehouse Builder 11g Release 1 (http://st-curriculum.oracle.com/obe/db/11g/r1/owb/owb11g_update_getting_started_intro/lesson1/less1_start.htm)
I get an error during the running of the tcl scripts in omb plus. Everything works until the last files in which an object cannot be found. I get the following error:
OMB02923: Attribute TIMES_CAL_MONTH_CODE of group SALES of operator SALES_OUT does not exist.
The only reference i can find to this is in the load_sales.tcl file from the zip-file and i have no idea what is going wrong. As a result 5 mappings are missing in the end result (all LOAD_.. mappings)
Can anyone assist me with this problem and provide a solution?
thank you in advance

Additional information after looking at the tcl files and the data in OWB that was loaded.
The section where the error occurs connects two parts of a mapping, the OUTGRP1 and the SALES_OUT. THe SALES_OUT is based upon the cube Sales. This cube contains all the data that is being connected except for the 'TIMES_CAL_MONTH_CODE'. I have no idea based upon the code of the creation of the cube where they take the data from. None of the connected attributes is named specifically. The cube also contains the several groups, one of these is time. If you open the details of the group the list of input attributes lists the needed attribute but it is not listed seperatly like all the others that are connected for the mapping. Does anybody have an idea how to solve the problem based on this extra information and the code listed below.
Code connecting outgrp1 and sales_out:
OMBALTER MAPPING 'LOAD_SALES' \
ADD CONNECTION FROM ATTRIBUTE 'AMOUNT' OF GROUP 'OUTGRP1' OF OPERATOR 'AGGREGATOR' \
TO ATTRIBUTE 'AMOUNT' OF GROUP 'SALES' OF OPERATOR 'SALES_OUT'\

Oracle warehouse builder - OWB & Oracle 10g Db on SuSE

hi folks,
i have Oracle 10g db on my laptop; and it runs great!
but since i am trying to gain skills in data warehousing and business inteligence, and after reading about oracle warehouse builder, i decided to install it on my laptop as well.
but i can not get my head around the docs for installing OWB.
is the only requirement for OWB to have an OWB_ORACLE_HOME environment variable on linux? how do we start OWB service automatically?
has anyone installed OWB with oracle on the same pc?
i would appreciate your comments.
thanks in advance,
Nicolas

Thanks Andreas,
i have printed and followed the advice on these documents.
that is how i have got confused about this OWB_ORACLE_HOME.
i would very much appreciate if could provide me with some brief description of which environment variables are needed for OWB installation.
regards,
nicolas

Confuse about Configuring Oracle Warehouse Builder

newbie here... i am abit confuse on how to configure the Oracle Warehouse builder...
I have 2 database... 1 source and 1 new one...
I understand that i have to install the Runtime Repository in the database computer and the Target Schema through the client's computer...
so all this while... i am just confuse about what to install into the source database and what to install into the new database...
Please help...

Location is a logical entity in your OWB design that can be either a database schema, a flat file location, an SAP application location etc. Once you complete your design and are ready to deploy the design into the runtime environment, you will have to 'register' the locations by providing the physical details of your location to OWB (user name/password, database, hostname etc.).
I am a bit confused by your configuration - are the source and the target in two separate schemas or in the same schema? Your posts are somewhat contradictory.
If they are in two different schemas, you should:
1. Create a source module pointing to a source schema (you can then import data object structures from the source schema - i.e. you don't have to create source tables manually in OWB, but you can import them into the module automatically). This module will have a source location (for example SRC_LOC).
2. Create a target module where all your target objects will be (i.e. where the data will be loaded). This module will have a different location (TGT_LOC). In your target module you will also create the mappings.
3. When deploying, you will register SRC_LOC with the physical details of your source schema, while the target location will be registered with the physical details of the target schema. The code generated by OWB during deployment will make sure that the data is extracted from the source schema and inserted into the target schema (either by generating and using DB links or by qualifying the schemas in the extraction queries if source and target are in the same database instance).
On the other hand, if both source and target objects are in the same db schema, you can have all your objects in the same target module and you will only have to register the location of this target module when deploying (LOC_TGT).
That said, there can be a variety of reasons why there is no data in the target after you run the extract mapping that have nothing to do with locations, such as logical errors in the mapping (an inappropriate filter or a wrong join), insufficient privileges etc. I suggest you take a look in the runtime audit browser that should contain the error messages relative to your mapping.

Who says Oracle Warehouse Builder is a leader in ETL?

... the analyst firm Gartner does!
Oracle Warehouse Builder moved into the leader quadrant in Gartner's ETL Magic Quadrant published on September 8, 2004. Please see today's press release from Oracle http://biz.yahoo.com/prnews/040916/sfth048_1.html
What does it mean for the technical users of OWB like you: data warehouse developers, architects, data analysts, DBAs?
It means that you've made a wise career decision to become skilled in the product with rapidly growing customer base and market recognition.
Nikolai Rochnik

If it were me, I'd use an 'Expression' operator in the mapping and write a CASE statement. You could also write a public or private transformation that takes the varchar2 parameter in and outputs the number you want and plug that into your mapping.
Which route you go depends on how often you need to do this. One time, just write an expression. Reuse? Then make a transformation.

Oracle Warehouse Builder dies or is no longer supported?

Hello,
I've heard that the Oracle Warehouse Builder eventually no longer be supported or eventually die out. Can anyone possibly tell already from a date when it will be like this?
I look forward to your answers

The guidance we received from Oracle is 11.2 is the final OWB release. Patchsets will be provided thru the 11.2 database premier support period and OWB 11.2 will remain certified/supported thru the database 12c release. OWB basic functionality will still be included in 12c license as best I understand (it was not clear if patchsets would continue after 11.2 premier support ends in Jan 2015). The statement of direction has been for migration of OWB and ODI functionality into a merged product line.
<opinion>
My guess would be Oracle is prepping DB 12c and next ODI for release later this year and will include some kind of built-in basic ETL along the lines of OWB 11.2 in the DB and the ODI release would include some migration or interoperability to bridge the OWB/ODI repositories. I have not heard anything on this, just surmising from past history of when DB releases are announced and related functionality.
