Control Center OWB R2

To work with more than one Target database, do we need to create rep_owner schema on all target databases?
If so, is there any way not to do this overhead on the database?
Thanks

Hi,
you do not need a repository on all target dabases. But using a standalone target user comes with some restrictions: you cannot deploy PL/SQL mappings to it.
A repository and a control center service on some other machine are required anyway.
Please refer to the chapter "Options for Installing a Warehouse Builder Repository" of the OWB installation guide for more details.
If you want to be able to deploy all kind of mappings to the target schema, you will need a repository (to serve as the runtime environment) on that database.
Regards,
Carsten.

Start Button from Control Center Manager OWB 10.2.0.3.33

Hi Folks,
the start Button from the Control Center Manager is grey and I cannot run drop, replace, etc. jobs. I've tried with the owb owner with the same result. The Service is running. I also restart the data base but again the same result. Any ideas...?
Thanks
Pavel

Please forgive the simple first question:
Have you deployed these objects yet?

Workflow & OWB Control Center

Previously; I have been using control center with no problems; i.e. I would run/execute mapping directly. I've attempted to install Workflow 2.6.4 With DB 10g R2 (10.2.0.1); Everything seemd to go ok;
today I have tried to open control center and now I have issues getting into it
RTC-5260: Failed to connect to Control Center, Please check you have provided the correct Host, user, password and service
name.
RTC-5301: The Control Center Service is not currently avaliable
** I have tested connection to Control Centers (Both my default and BI_ADMIN) work ok and are successful
** I have also Started Control center service, using the BI_ADMIN Control Center
** Note: I have BI_ADMIN, set to my default configuration
Not sure what is going on; Currenlty using OWB 10gR2

Run the rtp/sql/show_service.sl command to ensure the service is up and running. There is also a service_doctor.sql script that will analyze for issues if it is not running, and finally there are log files under the OWB ORACLE_HOME/owb/log directory, if it is not running the last log in here will have some details which may be useful, to include in the thread.

(OWB 10g R2) Control Center Manager won't start

Hi,
I'm in the middle of upgrading from OWB10g Release 1 to OWB10g Release 2 on a testbox.
I have completed the steps to upgrade the runtime metadata (I did the Move, then I upgraded the locations and then I ran the tcl script in OMBPlus).
Now, I have gone to the DEFAULT_CONFIGURATION for my project and I updated the default control center for my project.
Follow me so far?
Okay, here's the problem.... when I try to start the "Control Center Manager" from the Design Center's Tool menu.... I see nothing but a grey window with a titlebar and nothing else.
This happens regardless of whether I try to launch the Control Center Manager from a windows client or the linux server.
On the linux server I see this output after I enter the username and password to connect to the Control Center Manager:

Urgent Hepl Needed: Unable to start Control Center Service OWB 10gR2

Hi ,
find solution from oracle support...
Applies to:
Oracle Warehouse Builder - Version: 10.2 and later [Release: 10.2 and later ]
Information in this document applies to any platform.
Symptoms
The run_service.sh and/or the set_repository_password.sql script execution fail with :
ORA-29532: Java call terminated by uncaught Java exception:
oracle.jdbc.driver.OracleSQLException: ORA-28239: no key provided
Additional error :
with OWB 10.2 : ORA-06512: at "SYS.DBMS_OBFUSCATION_TOOLKIT_FFI", line 21
with OWB 11G: ORA-06512: at "SYS.DBMS_CRYPTO_FFI", line 67
Changes
The database has been cloned - including the OWB repositories.
OWB tables have been manually updated to reflect the change of hostname/port/service name.
This is not a RAC configuration (refer to Note 395037.1 in that case) unless there is a shared drive.
Cause
The Warehouse builder rtrepos.properties file (located in the OWB_HOME/owb/bin/admin directory) has not been updated with the repository key.
Solution
Rename the rtrepos.properties file
Start SQL+
With OWB 10.2 : connect as the Unified Repository owner account
With OWB 11G : connect as OWBSYS
Execute the script reset_repository.sql located in the OWB_HOME/owb/rtp/sql directory.
This script will re-create a rtrepos.properties file. It requires the Unified Repository Owner/OWBSYS password as parameter. e.g.:
sql> @reset_repository.sql <password>
Thanks,
Praveen

Opening Control Center Manager Shuts Down OWB Application

We are currently using OWB Release 10g Release 2 and have not had any issues for the past 1.5 years. All of the sudden beginning last week, we started experiencing issues with the software.
1. Last week, I logged into Design Center. No problems. I then went to Tools - Control Center Manager. As the Control Center window attempted to open, it shut down the entire OWB application. Interesting. I logged in as a different user and was able to get in later.
2. As of today, I don't have any issues with OWB. I'm able to get to Control Center without any problems.
3. My co-worker is experiencing the same problem that I had last week. As soon as he tries to open Control Center Manager, all of OWB shuts down including Design Center. He restarted his PC, tried to log in as a different user, etc. but nothing seems to help.
We looked under the C:\OraHome_1\owb\log directory but nothing is there. Does anyone have any clues as to what is going on or where we can check to see what is causing this problem?
OWB Client 10.2.0.4.36
OWB Repository 10.2.0.4.0
Thanks,

Hi Jennifer
Worth starting the OWB client using the batch or shell script depending on your platform (either owb/bin/win32 or owb/bin/unix/owbclient.sh) and pasting the standard output from the console window into the forum when you do this, it might have some clues.
Cheers

Not able to start control center service of OWB 10.2

Hi i have implemented the remote runtime service architecture in OWB 10.2. This means the OWB s/w is not installed in the box where Oracle data base is.When I'm trying to start the service form the client machine (where OWB is installed) using the Start Control Center service option the service is not starting up.Is there any work around to start the control center service.
Thx

Hi!
Try to start the service using @<OWB-HOME>/owb/rtp/sql/start_service.sql
You need to log with the Control Center owner.
Check out if you get any errors. If yes, try also @<OWB-HOME>/owb/rtp/sql/service_doctor.sql for more information.

Sebastian

Owb 11gR2 control center server can not stop

Hi guys
I have installed Oracle 11.2.0.2 on Windows 2008 server (64 bit) and installed OWB 11.2.0.2 on my desktop (xp) , now I can connect control server from client and deploying mapping etc.
But I met a issue is I could not stop the control server. If I use the sql script "stop_service.sql " to stop it, the result is "available" and "Client managed service" . If I used the porgram\administrator\stop control center server from OS, it says "please check that the service is running in manual mode" and "shutdown failed".
Any idea about it? how can I fix it?
Cheers.

Did you make sure that the Control Center Agent is running on your database server?
Test it by running the show_service.sql or service_doctor.sql as user OWBSYS. The scripts can be found in directory +$OWB_HOME/owb/rtp/sql+. If the CCA is down or wrongly configured, e.g. you changed OWBSYS' password after installation, such that it can't connect, the service_doctor script will tell you. Please correct any errors or misconfigurations and start the CCA afterwards using the start_service.sql script from the same directory.

Connection lost after starting control center manager owb 11.2

Hello!
We have a test installation of OWB 11.2 (Repository Version 11.2.0.3 / Client Version 11.2.0.2 WINDOWS 32bit) because we want migrate our 11.1 environment to this version.
We have successfully imported the old repository with mdl upgrade. We can edit mappings and so on in the Design Center. Also the deployment is possible from there.
If we start the control center manager with the default_configuration we lose the connection to repository. Also the design center is no longer connected.
The follow the recommendation for the connection with 11.2.0.2 Client to a 11.2.0.3 Repository.
Does anybody know what to do?

Loading flat files located on a server using the Control Center piece ofOWB

Hi
This is what i do for my flat files (i am loading my tables from the flat files):
1) Create location for the files in OWB and it should look something like \\path_to_where_the_files_are. Here you should be able to browse to your Linux box and select the location of the files.
2) Then check whatever you use (i use TOAD) and you should see in owb schema a directory created there which points to the location of the flat file.
3) then just follow the guide to sample the files etc and you are good to go.
Basically OWB has to be able to see the files that are on Linux machine.
Alternatively you can map your Linux share to your windows box (use samba or something) and use it that way.
Sorry if it is stating the obvious.
Hope this helps
Kind Regards
Vix

Control center

Hello,
we were migrating application from OWB10gR1 to OWB10R2. Imported the design repository using MDL loader. After that upgraded the Runtime Repository using Control Center upgrade Assistant. Using this moved the runtime audit data from existing Runtime Repository to new control center. After that we need to upgrade all Locations ( locations should be in Valid status) to Control Center.
Most of the Locations were upgraded to Control Center but some locations were failed. I tried through Control Center Upgrade Assistant and OMB PLUS code.
It was giving error:
Failed to upgrade location
exception follows:-
java.sql.SQLException: ORA-01017: invalid username/password; logon denied
Installed components are at version level (null which is different from version of Control Center (10.2.0.1.31)
to fix these error it gave button to Upgrade. I pressed that button. even though it was not upgrading to Control Center.
If anybody faced this situation please advise me.
Thanks
Santi

I have already used this assistant to migrate the repository from 9.2 to 10, but I got a lot of errors for the locations. The assistant migrate correctly only a few of them, the others I had to configure or register again in the new version of OWB. After doing it, I didn't get more errors.

Control Center not getting started

Hi All,
I have installed oracle business intelligence 10g release 2 on a linux box. I have installed Oracle Warehouse builder on both linux box and on my laptop which is windows.
I tried to start the control center from the server which is the linux box. before that i ran the service_doctor.sql.
It gave the following output.

can any one help me to sove this issue. It will be really nice if u can help me out.

Natesh

By now you have probably found your answer but I wanted to relay my solution for other readers. Had the same problem. Downloaded owbcollect.sql from Oracle. Indicated that client needed utl_file_dir=* in init.ora file. Also indicated that <OWBHOME> was not identified in column SERVER_SIDE_HOME in table WB_RT_SERVICE_NODES. Once I added the utl_file_dir entry in the init.ora file and updated wb_rt_service_nodes with the correct owbhome, service_doctor ran successfully and the control center starts automatically. Need to be careful, even though Oracle indicates setting utl_file_dir=*, this can be a security risk/hazard. Could potentially allow users to overwrite sys or datafiles.
