Creating Staging Area

Hi all,
I am trying to create staging area in R12, when i ran the perl script(adautostg.pl) it was going fine, but when it has asked me to insert Database Disk 2 it says, invalid DVD, i tried from the second set of media pack but same problem arised.
So now im copying all the zip files to local HDD so that i can unzip....this is the second method im following...
please give any suggestion on this...thread.....

First off your question relates to e-Business Suite not Database so you are in the wrong forum. In the future please post the appropriate location where your question will be on-topic.
Second ... there are two possibilities. First that you have a corrupt DVD and the second that you are inserting the wrong Disk2.
I have posted the 11.5.10 version of the process here:
http://www.psoug.org/ebs/ebs_tree.html
and the v12 one is essentially identical.
If you still can not get it to work open an SR at metalink.

Creating staging area for setup downloaded from Oracle Edelivery

Hi,
I am going to install EBS 12.1.1 on RHEL 5.3
I have downloaded the setup from edelivery.oracle.com
Now I was wondering how I should create stage area.
I came to know from couple of posts from Hussein that as I have downloded the setup(no CDs/DVDs),I just have to copy the downloaded file under the stage area directory
and then unzip those files.
But I came to know from EBS R12.1.1 installatioin guide that there has to be five sub-directories,before you actually start installation,namely
startCD, oraApps, oraDB, oraAS, and oraAppDB
So,my question is
Will these directories get created automatically when I unzip the downloaded files?
Do I have to unzip the downloded files in any particular sequence(so that these five sub-directories get created properly)?

I came to know from couple of posts from Hussein that as I have downloded the setup(no CDs/DVDs),I just have to copy the downloaded file under the stage area directory
and then unzip those files.Correct.
But I came to know from EBS R12.1.1 installatioin guide that there has to be five sub-directories,before you actually start installation,namely
startCD, oraApps, oraDB, oraAS, and oraAppDBThis is valid only if you stage the files from the Media Pack. If you have downloaded the file from e-Delivery website, then just place the files in one directory, extract it there and this will create the stage area directory for you.
So,my question is
Will these directories get created automatically when I unzip the downloaded files?Yes.
Do I have to unzip the downloded files in any particular sequence(so that these five sub-directories get created properly)?The sequence does not matter, just make sure you have all the directories created.
You may also run md5sum as per (MD5 Checksums for R12.1.1 Rapid Install Media [ID 802195.1]) to verify the integrity of the stage area directory once you are done with the staging.
Thanks,
Hussein

How do I create staging area after having copied Apps R12.1.1 DVD to disk

Hi!
I have copied all DVDs for Apps R12 to our filer. Now I would want to create the staging area using autostage.pl, but it only stages the startCD, then it asks me to insert the DVd named "Rdbms Disk1", but the DVD is already on the filer. Giving it the path to the copied DVd on disk does not work...
I don't have access to the physical machines to mount the DVDs since the servers are in a hosted data center...
Any ideas?
Regards,
Helmut

Hi,
I never tried this before, but you may try to pass the root directory name where all the media files were copied and see if it works. If this does not help, then I believe you need to create the stage area directory from the DVD-ROM drive.

Staging area creation problem

Hi,
We have got media DVDs for R12.1.1 for Linux X86 from Oracle. We copied in the server one by one using cp command.
Ans now when we are starting staging creation using these copied DVD's from server, it's giving
Invalid Disk is inserted.
Please insert DVD labeled Oracle Applications Rapid Install - of Rdbms Disk 1
We removed STARTCD part initially which was staged properly using OS rm command.but when it was asking for second DVD it failed due to unavailability of 2nd DVD path
We copied all DVD's into /do1/R1211dump folder
Please advice on how to create staging area
Regards,

Hi,
Yes.
Also this is being executed by root user .
And when using oracle user, even though DVD dump folder is owned by oracle user
we are getting following error:

Staging area different from target

I am using oracle 10g as target database. I want to upload a flat data file into oracle table.
I uploaded sucessfully using LKM Oracle (SQL Loader) in Interface. In this case i am using oracle database as a staging area. So all load transferred to my database at the timing of processing.
I want to create staging area at my file server. So please help me out to resolve this problem.

A staging area must accept SQL syntax.
A File server won't accept SQL syntax.
So if you speak about Physical Server where you got your file and if there is a RDBMS installed in maybe but else I don't really know how you can...
You can specify another data server for your staging area or use the SUNOPSIS_MEMORY_ENGINE which use the cache I think but it's not optimized I think...
For this in the Definition Tab of your Interface choose Staging Area different from the Target and then select in the list box SUNOPSIS_MEMORY_ENGINE.

How to create staing area

Hi,
I have downloaded oracle 11i software from edelivery and try to create staging area.
Do we need to run adautostg.pl or just unzip all file in one directory?
If I am run adautostg.pl script, it ask me mount DVD which I don't have. And if I am trying to unzip all files in directory, it tried to overwrite some files. Is it OK?
Please share your thoughts.
Thanks in advance for your help.

E$ table to be created in STAGING Area

Hello All,
I have an interface that has Staging Area different from TARGET. I have created an ODI Constraint in the target table in my model. Currently, when I run the scenario, the E$ table is created in the target database.
Because we are planning to use E$ for the tracking purpose for which the INtegration team would have access.
1) How can I force the E$ table be created in the ODI STAGING AREA (Database) rather than creating at the target database ?
2) What is the use of RECYCLING ERROR in IKM ?
Kindly clarify.
Thanks

Hi Nag,
Unfortunately a huge KM modification is necessary to accomplish this or divide in more than one interface (process). Let me try to explain:
An IKM Incremental Update create the I$ at target even when the stage area is another Logical Schema because it needs the target table to "decide" what records are to update and what are to insert.
Because of that, the internal the ODI algorithmic set the connections to the target once the I$ will be created there anyway.
To accomplish what you need it will be necessary to change the way that this kind of ETL is done and force the connections to the new staging area.
That is possible but will take some time.
An alternative solution, by process, could be;
1) make a copy of the target at staging area (if possible, I mean, if the amount of records allows it)
2) add 2 columns to this copy to flag the kind of dml (flg_ins, flg_upd for instance)
3) copy all desired constraints to the temporary table
4) use the same original interface but change the target to the temporary table.
5) at mapping check just "insert" to column flg_ins (value "Y" for instance)
6) at mapping check just "update" to column flg_upd (value "Y" for instance)
7) execute the interface
8) create a procedure with 2 steps:
9) step 1 - tab source: select all records from temporary table where flag_ins = 'Y'
- tab target; insert into original target
10)step 2 - tab source: select all records from temporary table where flag_upd = 'Y'
- tab target; update into original target
for the itens 9 and 10 will be necessary to choose the technology and respective Logical Schema.
If the amount of records at target doesn't allow this technique than:
Or will be necessary change the IKM
Or work with DBLINK from target to staging if both technologies are Oracle and to create a dblink will be possible. Any way IKM customization will be necessary, but a small one.
Does it make any sense to you?

Lookup in staging area

We have a column on the source table which contain a person's country information. A single country name could be represented in different formats (for e.g. United States of America, USA, U.S.A). The target database has a table which stores the equivalence mapping for all these different possibilities (i.e. United States of America, USA, U.S.A are mapped to "USA")
We plan to have a design like this
Step 1. Load the country column to the staging area
Step 2. In the staging area, lookup the equivalences table, identify the country name and populate it on the staging area
Step 3. Transfer the data into target table.
The point where we have discussion is the Step-2. What would be an efficient way of resolving the equivalences and how we proceed in this step.
Any thoughts/suggestions on what would be a good or bad design here ?

Hi,
Let me try to help...
If I understood right you can achieve that in just one interface by check the join between the column "country" and the table where the all possible match are at staging area, it means:
1) create an interface
2) drag and drop all souce tables plus the table where are the countries are, from target.
3) drag and drop the "final" target table at target position
4) create a join between the "target countries tables" and "person table" by "country" column and check it to be executed at Staging Area.
Does it make any sense to you?

Staging area and target area

hi..friends.
should staging area and target area be same or different???
if same what are the advantages and dis-advantages???
and if not same what are the advantages and dis-advantages????
I want your help..
Thanks.

Staging area is the place where transformation takes place.
Basically c$,I$ tables gets created at this place and once processing is done , the same gets dropped .
By defalut staging area and traget area are the same . But most of the DBA does not like to have the temp tables created at the target as this cause dbms performance, maintance issue in long term.
Instead you can have a dedicated schema created just for staging and use the same in your interface.
Plus when your target is non dbms then you need to go for a dedicated staging area which can be a separate schema in your database or it could be in memory schema. You will find performance issue if you are using in memory schema as your staging area in case the data volume increase.

Staging area different from target - which KM???

Hi,
I need to transfer data from CSV to DB (only new inserts operation)
I am working the following KM's
LKM File to SQL
IKM SQL Control Append
It's working fine. However now i need to keep the staging area (where C$, I$ etc table are created) in a separate schema.
I have created a diff schema for staging area and selected in the interface "Staging area different from target"
However not sure of which KM's to use.
Please let me know how to achieve this.
Thanks,
Rosh

Hi
1st thing you have to give the workschema for temp tables when creating physical schema in dataserver for target.
Then you have to select the workschema in overview of interface as "staging different from target".
After doing this when you will use predefined KM for the interface it will create temp tables in workschema.
Now suppose you are not giving the workschma at the time of creating physical schema and you have selected "staging different than target" in interface.Here your C$ table will be created in your workschema but I$ table that is used by IKM is going to be created on target schema.So for this again you have change the IKM KM i.e. where to create I$ table (wokrschema) by selecting the corresponding logical schema.
So its better you give the workschema at the time of creating physical schema.
Here is the query to give privilege by the sys_dba
Grant create any table to ODI_TEMP.
Hope you got it

Staging Area location

Hello,
I am having trouble with the staging area on my enterprise manager 12c server. When i try to download an assembly it downloads to the default staging location which is /u01/app/oracle/product/12.1.0/omshome_1/gc_inst/em/EMGC_OMS1/sysman//stage.
Now when i try to appy the download so it gets moved to the 'software library upload file locations' which is at /u02/app/oracle/oms_shared/ i get the following error in the job:
Applying update of Oracle Virtual Templates and Oracle Virtual Assemblies type with entity ID : 99AED19240CD3922650F2A9255726868 and description : Database assembly for 11.2.0.3.0 Single Instance database with PSU1 on Linux 64-bit using filesystem based storage
Apply failed: Exception: This operation requires atleast 3606937479 bytes in staging area (/u01/app/oracle/product/12.1.0/omshome_1/gc_inst/em/EMGC_OMS1/sysman//stage).
This, of course, is true because there isn't enough freespace in /u01/app/oracle/product/12.1.0/omshome_1/gc_inst/em/EMGC_OMS1/sysman//stage.
What i would like to do is to move the staging area to a location on /u02 where there is enough freespace but for the life of me i cannot find where to change this. Does anybody know how to do this?
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Kind regards,
Bert ten Cate

Hi Bert,
You can add an additional Software Library location in Setup, Provisioning and Patching, Software Library. Create on OS an new directory and the correct protection. Use Add in the EM-console to add this new location.
See http://docs.oracle.com/cd/E24628_01/doc.121/e24473/softwarelib.htm for additional info.

Staging Area Indexing

We currently planing to build our staging area from source database (Oracle 11g database)
So we decided to do 1 to 1 mapping for each table but there are some tables that contains huge data (millions of records) and for these tables we decide to do indexing to fasting the extraction using data services to our staging database but at the same time I think will affect the loading to staging area
So my question is the indexes is recommended to be created in staging area?

Hi Mohamed Anas,
Usually Creating indexes on the columns will give better performace the index does not take much space in the memory, there by resulting in faster SELECTs. I am not much expert to say that whether it is suggestable in staging area or not but while loading the data into any target table which is having indexed columns will effect the performace of the job ,
In general while loading the data into target we will drop the index in Preload SQL and will recreate it with post load SQL in target properties, because it will give better performace.
so as per the above even though if you created the indexes on columns, its better to drop it and re create it before loading into target that will give you better performance.
Hope you have got some idea,
Thanks,
subbu CH.

Staging Area Schema

My source and target table is same and I am trying to update certain column in table XXX, I have set staging area different then target and specify the staging schema where I do have the create table prevelige but when I run this interface its trying to create temp table in target schema where I do not have preveilege to create table.Any clue ...?
In the interface I have checked all my mapping process is in staging area not source or target.
Any clue ...?
Thanks

HI,
It depends on the KM that you are using... If you are using a IKM Incremental Update then the process will create a temp table at target because it needs it to make the PK comparation.
My suggestions to work around it:
1) if your ETL allows, work with the IKM Control Append
2) If you need of a Incremental Update ELT just point the "Work Area" at the target Physical Schema to the "Staging Area" Schema, change the Database connection user to the user of Staging Area and give him the necessary grants at the tables of the target schema (insert and update i imagine),
Just to be sure, are you using Oracle DB as source, staging and target?

Lookup issue when staging area diff from target

Hi,
I am using staging area different from target (csv file to database)
Everything is working fine the source data is moved to target. The interface runs suiceessfuly.
Now i want to add a lookup during transformation using a lookup table.
When i do that using lookups in quick edit section, i am getting an error.
When i run the interface, the C$ gets created in staging area - that is correct.
However when inserting from staging to target, now the ODI searches for the C$ table in target area instead of the staging..
Please help.
Thanks,
Rosh
