"Create Data Warehouse Tables" doesn't create any tables ?

We are attempting to install and configure OBIA 7.9.6 for Peoplesoft 8.9. The steps to install and configure Informtica and DAC and their respective repositories are completed. However, Step 4.12 to Create Data Warehouse Tables on Oracle database, although apparently successful (returns no error) does not create any tables or other objects in the datawarehouse schema. Apparently, "oracle_bi_dw.ctl" is being generated with NO DDL definitions only a two line header to the effect
[DDL File]
Version = 1Has anyone encountered a similar issue and resolved it ? (We have an SR open with Oracle Support).
NOTE : ddlimp does connect succesfully to the database -- I created a Database ON LOGON trigger to catch and trace logons by the datawarehouse schema.

Error while creating data warehouse tables.

Hi,
I am getting an error while creating data warehouse tables.
I am using OBIA 7.9.5.
The contents of the generate_clt log are as below.
>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>
Schema will be created from the following containers:
Oracle 11.5.10
Universal
Conflict(s) between containers:
Table Name : W_BOM_ITEM_FS
Column Name: INTEGRATION_ID.
The column properties that are different :[keyTypeCode]
Success!
<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<
There are two rows in the DAC repository schema for the column and the table.
The w_etl_table_col.KEY_TYPE_CD value for DW application is UNKNOWN and for the ORA_11i application it is NULL.
Could this be the cause of the issue? If yes, why could the values be different and how to resolve this?
If not, then what could be the problem?
Any responses will be appreciated.
Thanks and regards,
Manoj.

Strange. The OBIA 7.9.5 Installation and Configuration Guide says the following:
4.3.4.3 Create ODBC Database Connections
Note: You must use the Oracle Merant ODBC driver to create the ODBC connections. The Oracle Merant ODBC driver is installed by the Oracle Business Intelligence Applications installer. Therefore, you will need to create the ODBC connections after you have run the Oracle Business Intelligence Applications installer and have installed the DAC Client.
Several other users are getting the same message creating DW tables.

Merant Driver is not available for Windows 7 to create data warehouse table

Hi All,
I had installed Database, OBIA, DAC and Informatica in windows 7 64 bit. Installation is successful.
To create data warehouse tables through DAC, we need merant driver. But Merant driver is not available in windows 64bit.
I followed the below procedue to create a merant driver.
"C:\Windows\SysWOW64\odbcad32.exe"
Executed odbcad32.exe, and I found the merant driver in the list, when i try to create DSN, I am getting the following error.
Specified Driver could not be loaded due to system error 193: (Oracle Merant Driver in DAC 10g_Oracle-OH1635326477, c:\orahome\10gR3_1\bifoundation\dac\utilities\DataDirectODBC\seor820.dll).
Can any one please provide me the solution.
Regards,
Kumar

I know the docs say you must use the merant driver however did you try a normal oracle odbc connnection. I am sure i did this in the past.
BTW I hope this is just your laptop and you are playing around. I do'nt think Windows 7 is a supported environment. You should consider a supported platform for production and maybe a virtual machine on your windows 7 machine in development so you can practice the install.

How to reset data Warehouse table

For fixing some mistakes, I'd like to reset the whole Data Warehouse tables ( clear alll data in the tables).
Is there any way to achieve this with DAC client?
Roger

Nothing to worry. We have the option in DAC. Navigate to Tools -> ETL Management -> Reset Data Sources. Give the confirmation text in the dialog box. With this action the refresh dates will become Null for all tables and which causes to do a full load in the next ETL run.

Strategy in Data Warehouse Table Structure

I'm building a relational data warehouse, and there are two approaches that seem almost interchangeable to me, despite being quite different from each other.
The first approach is rather simple. I have a "User" table with a bunch of foreign keys, and then I have a bunch of other tables containing user attributes. One table for "department," another for "payroll type,"
another for "primary location," and so on for 20 different user attributes.
The second approach, instead of using 20+ tables, combines this down into far fewer. I would have an "Attribute Type" table and "Attribute" table. These two, in conjunction with a bridge table, could accommodate as many
attributes as necessary within three tables. If the business wants to track a new "user-related" attribute, I don't need any new tables. I would simply add the new attribute into the "Attribute Type" table as, say, "attribute
21," and begin tracking it. All the work could be done without ever adding new tables or columns.
Both approaches seem to maintain (at least) 3NF. Is one approach better in certain circumstances, and the other approach more appropriate at other times? Any insight is appreciated!
BrainE

Hi Brian,
The second approach with three tables is not really good here. Query Optimizer in SQL Server has a few enhancements for Star/Snowflake schemas in DW environment and 3-table schema would not be able to benefit from them. It would be also harder to maintain,
load data and query. Finally, your attributes could have different data types, which you need to store.
I would suggest to go with first solution (multiple dimensions table) and follow a few extra rules:
Avoid nullable attributes
Choose attribute data types as narrow as possible
Avoid string attributes. If needed create separate dimension tables for them
Use columnstore indexes and
Upgrade to SQL Server 2014 if it is all possible - there are multiple enhancementsin batch-mode processing there
Thank you!

Data loading into Data warehouse Tables

Hi all,
I am having scenario like this. I am having table with lacks of records. Every day, new data will come with some records DELETE ed, some new records
INSERT ed, some records UPDATE ed. I have to load this new data into parent table.
Currently, we are DELETING all parent data and inserting new data. It is taking a lot of time. There is NO PRIMARY KEY on this parent
table.
What are the best options to load the new data. Actually, there are several tables are there. I have mentioned one table for example.
Oracle version is 9i.
Thanks,
Pal

I need to know which is a better way of loading flat
files data into Warehouse tables. SQL*Loader or
Oracle DataMart Suite. Doesn't make much odds. The advantage of using the
Delimited or Fixed Length transform is that it keeps
everything within Data Mart Suite.
1. What all types of databases are supported by DataMart
ODBC. DataMart Suite will support most RDBMS's as an
ODBC source. Sybase, SQL Server, Informix, DB2, Redbrick,
Teradata. Note this is only a source for the
data, not a store for the DataMart
2. Can DataMart suite be programmed for auto operation of
loading data.There is some limited scheduling functionality based on
the NT scheduler service. Where you want to run one plan
following another, you may need to get a bit clever, by
including some preprocessing to check that the previous
plan has completed or use a third party scheduler which
would not start the plan until the previous plan had
completed.
3. What is the extend of errors handling in loading operation,
supported by this suite. Pretty good. All the stuff from SQL Loader, plus each of the
transforms has it's own error handling.

Using Sequence with Data Warehouse Table

I am working on a Uni exercise on data warehousing and am trying to create and populate a table with a sequence on one database with data located on another database.
For this particular table, I have to reset the primary key (primary keys on operational table start from 4000). In my notes, I have been told to create a sequence first and use yoursequence.nextval in the sub query. I am not very experienced with using sequences and am not sure what a subquery is in relation to them.
I tried the following but it didn't work. Hopefully it will give you an idea as to what I am trying to achieve:
create table Region as select region_id_seq, Region_Name, Management_area, Country from dw_op.Sales_Region@q_link;
Any help with this would be great.

Thanks again, Justin.
My instructions tell me to use the schema name along with the db link and it created the table correctly so I'll just have to keep my eye on it.
Do oyu know how I could use the function initcap to ensure all data is of the same format? I did a bit of research and found that I should be using column aliases which I duly tried but I received an error saying the following line needs a column alias:
initcap(s.region_name),
Just thought you may know how this can be done.
Thanks.

Connect to MS SQL Server 2000 data warehouse

Hi,
I use a MS SQL Server 2000 database for my web application where I use JSP. I suppose to create data warehouse using MS SQL Server's Data Transformation Service. But I don't know it's possible to connect to a MS SQL Server's data warehouse using JSP. So I want to know is it possible to connect to data warehouse using JSP and if it is how to do it? Thank you.

You can certainly connect to M$ SQL Server using the JDBC driver:
http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/details.aspx?FamilyID=4f8f2f01-1ed7-4c4d-8f7b-3d47969e66ae&displaylang=en
Connecting to a data warehouse is no different from any relational database. (My understanding is that a data warehouse usually means a star schema implemented in a relational database.) This will connect you.
If you're not familiar with JDBC, you might need the tutorial:

ERP data warehouse

Hi all,
What is the requirement of data warehouse if ERP exists? As ERP captures major transactional data then what are the difficulties to analyze data directly from ERP database? What bebefits can be found if data is transformed into data warehouse data model? What are the difficulties to transforme data from ERP to data warehouse?
Please help me. These are the research questions of my M.Sc thesis.
Thanks.

I'm receiving a similar error when attempting to create data warehouse tables with BIAPPS 7.9.6.
The "Installing the DAC Platform" documentation states:
"4.9.4.2 How to Create ODBC Connections for Oracle Databases
Follow these instructions for creating ODBC connections for Oracle databases on
Windows. For instructions on creating ODBC connections for Oracle databases on
UNIX or Linux, see the documentation provided with your database.
Note: You must use the Oracle Merant ODBC driver to create the ODBC connections.
The Oracle Merant ODBC driver is installed by the Oracle BI Applications installer.
Therefore, you will need to create the ODBC connections after you have run the Oracle
BI Applications installer and have installed the DAC Client."

How to know if the data model qry is not returning any data

Hi
If my report doesn't have data (meaning if the data model qry doesn't retreive any data), I wan't to show this text: "There is no data returned."
My question is how would I know that the qry is not returning any data. I know I can create a text field, and write a trigger on it, to set it True or False depending on the fact that data is being returned or not.
Thanks
Shalu

Hi,
In Data Model create a summary column for function=count on one of your columns.
Then for BeforeReport trigger you can write
function BeforeReport return boolean is
begin
if :CS_RPT_NODATA > 0 then
return (TRUE);
end if;
SRW.MESSAGE(300,'There is no data');
return (FALSE);
end;

Data Warehouse compression

Hi all,
I'm involved in a project that uses compressed datawarehouses, but I'm relatively new to this field.Please help me with the following.
What is data warehouse compression? Are there any tools available for warehouse compression? How does it differ from dataset/table compression?
Thanks in advance.

I'm not sure exactly what you mean by "compressed datawarehouse" or "data warehouse compression". Normally, I would tend to assume that those terms would refer to data warehouses that contain compressed tables. Oracle provides facilities to allow you to compress tables, assuming you are doing direct-path loads.

Is the OBIEE used to create a data warehouses dynamically?

Management where I work wants to use the OBIEE Administrator to source a 3NF normalized database and create a "virtual data warehouse" in the Business Modeling Mapping layer of OBI Administrator as a Star Schema model is required by OBI Business Model layer. They claim they were told by an Oracle sales rep that the Administrator tool could do this.
Is this possible? As OBI issues only SQL and not PL/SQL how can one "create" dimensions, lookup tables and fact tables dynamically? And even if it could the performance hit to recreate the virtual data warehouse each time a query is issued would be huge.
Having used Prism Warehouse Builder and DataStage in the past to create data warehouses I am aware that one needs a procedural programming language to create and maintain the star schema tables (surrogate key maintenance, controling workflows, maintaining slowly changing dimensions, intermediate lookup tables, etc.). SQL was not meant to do this heavy lifting programming. Afterall, isn't this why Oracle Warehouse Builder and previously Informatica is shipped with OBIEE suite because OBI is not an ETL tool to create dimensional models? One uses an ETL tool to create the dimensional data model for OBI to access and pass along the metadata to OBI Answers.
So is it normal practice to use the Administrator's Business Mapping/Modeling layer for creating a virtual star schema logical tables from physical tables that are 3NF? Or is the tool used to access already denormalized tables in the physical layer that were created using Informatica or OWB or other ETL tool?

I asked an "Expert" in OBIEE. Here are snippets of his response:
"Be aware though that the transformation ability is fairly limited, and
will only really work with data that is very close to a star schema, i.e.
the data can be easily transformed through a couple of denormalizations and
table joins. If your source data is very normalized and cannot easily be
transformed into a star schema, you would need to use a tools such as
Informatica, OWB or similar to extract data from your source systems, load
and then transform it into a data warehouse or data mart and report of of
that. The more that your data needs to be transformed (i.e. the closer it
is to a 3NF model) the more likely it is that you'll need to use an ETL
tool, and a data warehouse or data mart, to host your data."
And in response to my noting the lack of documentation on how to model a 3NF to Star Schema his response was:
"No, you're right, the documentation doesn't really go into "how to" turn a 3NF model into a dimensional model. If you look back to when OBIEE was a Siebel product, the documentation was really aimed at either Siebel consultants or customers who had been on the training, they didn't want customers "off the street" to try and implement OBIEE as it would hit their services revenue. That's where the blog posts we do, things like the Oracle-by-example training courses on OTN and so on come in, otherwise as you say there's little out there on the best way to transform your model - it's mostly passed on "word of mouth" or is built up from experience on working on projects."

Dynamic SQL and GRANT CREATE ANY TABLE

hi gurus,
i have a dynamic SQL in a procedure where a table will be created from an existing table without data.
strSQL:='create table ' || strTemp || ' as select * from ' || strArc || ' where 1=2';
execute immediate strSQL;
without GRANT CREATE ANY TABLE for the user, *"ORA-01031: insufficient privileges"* error during execution.
Is there a way to tackle this issue without providing GRANT CREATE ANY TABLE privilige?
many thanks,
Charles

The problem is not because of dynamic sql...It probably has something to do with dynamic SQL or, more accurately, dynamic SQL within a stored procedure.
From a SQL*Plus command prompt, you can create a table if your account has the CREATE TABLE privilege either granted directly to it or granted to a role that has been granted to your account. Most people probably have the CREATE TABLE privilege through a role (hopefully a custom "developer role" that has whatever privileges you grant to users that will own objects but potentially through the default RESOURCE role). That is not sufficient to create tables dynamically via a definer's rights stored procedure. Only privileges that are granted directly to the user, not those granted via a role, are visible in that case.
I expect that the DBAs are granting the CREATE ANY TABLE privilege directly to the account in question rather than through whatever role(s) are being used which is why that appears to solve the problem.

Can I create a Stored Procedure That access data from tables of another servers?

I'm developing a procedure and within it I'm trying to access another server and make a select into a table that belongs to this another server. When I compile this procedure I have this error message: " PLS-00904: insufficient privilege to access object BC.CADPAP", where BC.CADPAP is the problematic table.
How can I use more than one connection into an Oracle Stored Procedure?
How I can access tables of a server from a Stored Procedure since the moment I'm already connected with another server?
Can I create a Stored Procedure That access data from tables of another servers?

You need to have a Database Link between two servers. Then you could do execute that statement without any problem. Try to create a database link with the help of
CREATE DATABASE LINK command. Refer Document for further details

"Create Data Warehouse Tables" doesn't create any tables ?
