CTL file in OWB 9.2

I have a mapping with file as source. I want to generate a CTL file that contains actual physical directory of my location and not the location name. I have specified my own path where the control file for this mapping should get generated.
(1) When I generate this mapping <map.ctl> file has location_name of the file module and not the physical path in the ctl script.
(2) When I deploy this mapping - ctl file is not generated in the specified directory.
(3) Only when I execute this mapping thru OWB that a CTL file containing the physical location of the data file is generated in the OS directory.
My questions are :
(1) How do I generate a CTL file containing physical location - without executing the mapping thru OWB. I want to do that so that I can run from sqlldr directly.
(2) What is the function of Deploy in case of file to table mappings.
(3) What is the OWB recommended way of deploying and executing such mappings involving sqlldr in prod environment.

Vibha,
Sorry for the late response.
(1) How do I generate a CTL file containing physical location - without executing the mapping thru OWB. I want to do that so that I can run from sqlldr directly.
There should be no need to run from sqlldr directly. Warehouse Builder manages the execution in which case you get all the error handling and logging included in the runtime audit browser.
(2) What is the function of Deploy in case of file to table mappings.
Deploy stores the control file in the runtime repository, so that it can be picked up at execution time, temporarily be stored on the file system and OWB will then execute SQL loader natively.
(3) What is the OWB recommended way of deploying and executing such mappings involving sqlldr in prod environment.
Deploy to the production environment and execute it through OEM or a command line scheduling.
Mark.

OWB: .ctl files deployment

Hi
I'd like to know why OWB doesn't give me the option to deploy
the generated .ctl scripts; in fact, the only two available
options are "view code" and "save as file".
I am working with OWB 3i and an Oracle 8.1.6 data base.
Thanks for your help!

Hi,
OWB can't deploy Ctl file because it doesn't use SQL Loader.
YOu need to use either OEM 2.2 with register your run.ini either
SQL loader in your console.
With OEM it seem to work fine. But don't forget to put good
value in the OWB configure mapping....
Good luck

Error in scheduling a mapping with sqlloader ctl file

Hi everyone,
I have been trying to schedule a single mapping which generates sqlloader ctl file. but i get the error
ORA-20001: Begin. initialize complete. workspace set. l_job_audit_execution_id= 20545. ORA-20001: Please check execution object is deployed correctly. ORA-01403: no data found ORA-06512: at "USER7.PMAP_TLOG_JOB", line 180 ORA-20001: Please check execution object is deployed correctly. ORA-01403: no data found
but when i attach this mapping with a process flow it works fine. There is no error.
so my question is in OWB is it a must that we should attach the mapping which generates sqlloader ctl file to a process flow and then schedule it or can we schedule a single mapping which generates sqlloader ctl file and what should be the process to schedule a single mapping which generates sqlloader ctl file?
can anyone please help?
Thanks & Regards

Extracting data from flat file in OWB

Hi,
Does anyone know, how to run a mapping having source as flat file in OWB?
I am facing a problem as run button becomes disabled as it is SQL Loader script.
When I register the TCL script with OEM it doesn't pass the name of the CTL file
as parameter and so the job fails.
If anyone knows how to do it, please reply.

Thanks in advance..Easiest method i can think of would be to use an EXTERNAL TABLE instead of SQL LOADER.
Much more flexible.

Error while importing CTL FILE?

Hi
I am using Oracle 9i to Import Data from a disk file to the table in the database.
Here are the CTL File and .Dat file i am using to import data to the database.
Book1.CTL
load data
infile 'E:\Oracle\ORADATA\oracle9\SAMPLEDATA.DAT' "str '|\n'"
into table sampletable
fields terminated by ',' optionally enclosed by '"'
(SNO1 NUMBER,SNO2 NUMBER,SNO3 NUMBER,SNO4 NUMBER,SNO5 NUMBER,SNO6 NUMBER,SNO7 NUMBER,SNO8 NUMBER,SNO9 NUMBER,SNO10 NUMBER,SN011 NUMBER,SNO12 NUMBER)
Sampledata.dat
1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8,9,10,11,12,|
1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8,9,10,11,12,|
I already created a table with 12 columns as specified in the ctl file. I am trying to import data from a disk file ie from sampledata.dat file.
I am seeing the following error in JOBS.
VNI-2015 : The Node preferred credentials for the target node are either invalid
or do not have sufficient privileges to complete the operation.
On Windows platforms, the Node credentials specified for the Windows target
should have the "Logon as a batch job" privilege.
What do i need to do in order to succeed saving the data into the database?
Can anyone help in this issue?
Thanks
srinivas

Hi, i think that your problem is about the authentification credentials with Oracle Agent On Windows system. If you need execute jobs and task with this agent you must config correctly the environment. The OS user that you use must have the privilegies for execute "Logon as a batch job", this configuration must set into Control Panel>Administration Tools>Local Security Police>User Rights Assigments>Logon as a batch job, here you must add the user to this police.
Luck.
Have a good day.

Error while load the data from CSV with CTL file..?

Hi TOM,
When i try to load data from CSV file to this table,
CTL File content:
load data
into table XXXX append
     Y_aca position char (3),
     x_date position date 'yyyy/mm/dd'
NULLIF (x_date = ' '),
X_aca position (* + 3) char (6)
"case when :Y_aca = 'ABCDDD' and :XM_dt is null then
decode(:X_aca,'AB','BA','CD',
'DC','EF','FE','GH','HG',:X_aca)
else :X_aca
end as X_aca",
Z_cdd position char (2),
     XM_dt position date 'yyyy/mm/dd'
NULLIF XM_dt = ' ',
When I try the above CTL file; geting the following error..
SQL*Loader-281: Warning: ROWS parameter ignored in parallel mode.
SQL*Loader-951: Error calling once/load initialization
ORA-02373: Error parsing insert statement for table "XYZ"."XXXX".
ORA-00917: missing comma

Possible Solutions
Make sure that the data source is valid.
Is a member from each dimension specified correctly in the data source or rules file?
Is the numeric data field at the end of the record? If not, move the numeric data field in the data source or move the numeric data field in the rules file.
Are all members that might contain numbers (such as "100") enclosed in quotation marks in the data source?
If you are using a header, is the header set up correctly? Remember that you can add missing dimension names to the header.
Does the data source contain extra spaces or tabs?
Has the updated outline been saved?

Generation of Control file in OWB Mapping.

Hi All,
OWB config details is as follows:
OWB 9i :9.2.0.2.8
OWB Repository: 9.2.0.2.0
OWB 9i Client OS: Windows XP Environment
Oracle DB 9i Enterprise Edition 9.2.0.1.0-64 bit Production on IBM AIX machine.
I developed mapping which involved a source file (CSV) & oracle table as target.
Validated & Generated mapping. No error displayed.
Configured mapping set Data File Location, Bad File Location, Log File Location (All these parameters were set to point to different directories in unix.)
Registered all the above location in Deployment Manager.
Deployed the mapping & executed mapping.
I was expecting control file generated by mapping to create on unix partition, however many times it did save on my local machine on Windows XP rather than on unix. The control file created in the local directory where OWB client is installed.
When the same mapping is executed from another machine still the file was created on my local machine.
This was observed after I created file location for Bad file & Log file from OWB.
Why does control file is created on local machine rather than Unix Server?
Can someone please let me know more on this?
Thanks in Advance.
Regards,
Vidyanand

Hi Vidyanand
You may try to register physical file location under one logical location. Then register the location with physical datafile lication. It worked for us.

Upgrade cucm from 8.5 to 9.1 : Security issue (CTL Files)

Hello All,
I am in the process of performing a P2V upgrade from CUCM 8.5 to CUCM 9.1. The same IP address and Hostname on the new cluster will be kept.
Could you please advise on what are the right steps to do this operation, knowing that I have deployed CTL files on my phones using usb etokens.
My cluster includes 1 PUB + 8 SUB distributed over WAN.
Total phones is : 1800 phones
Only the Publisher will be upgraded to virtual instance. All subscribers servers will be kept at mcs.
Actually, I'm working on the Publisher to restore the cucm DB v8.5, do an upgrade to v9 and test all phones behavior before upgrade the whole cluster.
Do i to take care about subscribers before upgrade, knowing that tftp role is on different servers not only the publisher ?
What is the behaviour of phones when going to the new cluster ?
What is needed to be done in maintenance mode and in production mode ?
Thanks,
Driss

What version of 8.5.1 are you on? Look out for https://tools.cisco.com/bugsearch/bug/CSCtn50405/ which causes certificates to not be backed up properly so when you do the backup/restore you could run into problems. The good news is that you are using CTLs which uses a physical token so you cannot run into a state where the phones do not trust anything (unless the tokens are lost/damaged of course).

CTL File creation in Lab/Upgrade

Hello,
My current production cluster has a CTL file installed. I am now working on setting up a lab environment inpreperation of an upgrade to simulate my current cluster settings..
I need to create a CTL file for the new lab environement and had a couple of questions before moving ahead.
1. Can I use the same security tokens I am using for my production cluster?
2. Will this somehow affect my tokens giving me a problem with my production cluster?
3. When upgrading from 8.6.2 to 9.1.1 do I need to do anything with the CTL files or CTL client because of the version change?
Thanks,
Randall

Edit the control file as
I_CREATION_DATE sysdate,
I_INVOICE_ID "EXT_IMP_INT_S.NEXTVAL",
Sample:
LOAD DATA
truncate
INTO TABLE test
FIELDS TERMINATED BY ',' OPTIONALLY ENCLOSED BY '"' trailing nullcols
(id "seq1.nextval",

SQL LOADER / INFILE filename as variable in .ctl file

I stumbled over several threads in the OTN-forums regarding this problem, but neither was it finaly solved nor did I find a FAQ that answered my question. Soooo:
We get several datafiles from several sources and process them via SQL Loader and store 'em in the DB.
This is done via a CHRON job and a PERL skript, for all datafiles in a specific directory.
We need the information which file on which date generated the data INSIDE the DB as well.
So I want to store the filename || SYSDATE combination as well.
I know, I could parse the .ctl file and replace a key-string with the actual filename and so have it in the input.
But this seems a bit dirty to me. Isn't there some way, i.e. a keyword or variable for the infile-filename within the SQLLoader that I can access in the .ctl file? Something like:
INTO TABLE processed_files
FIELDS TERMINATED BY ';'
WHEN LOWER(LTRIM(RTRIM(hdr_ftr))) = 'ftr' -- FOOTER??
(hdr_ftr VARCHAR2(100),
source INFILE||' on '||TO_CHAR(SYSDATE, 'MM/DD/YYYY'),
realm VARCHAR2(100),
version VARCHAR2(20)
I would be greatfull if you?d share your wisdom with me. ;-))
Oliver

I passed this quite similar to 'Ask Tom' and got the advice to put the .ctl's content as a string variable into a Shell skript.
This shell skript (which had to be written anyway to loop over the datafiles an subsequently call the sqlldr) should then replace the INFILE parameter and the CONSTANTs for the filenames and generate a 'temporarry' .ctl before calling sqlldr!
That's it, no better and safer way!

Field in data file exceeds maximum length - CTL file error

Hi,
I am loading data in new system using CTL file. But I am getting error as 'Field in data file exceeds maximum length' for few records, other records are processed successfully. I have checked the length of the error record in the extract file, it is less than the length in the target table, VARCHAR2 (2000 Byte). Below is the example of error data,
Hi Rebecca~I have just spoken to our finance department and they have agreed that the ABCs payments made can be allocated to the overdue invoices, can you send any future invoices direct to me so that I can get them paid on time.~Hope this is ok ~Thanks~Terry~
Is this error caused because of the special characters in the string?
Below is the ctl file I am using,
OPTIONS (SKIP=2)
LOAD DATA
CHARACTERSET WE8ISO8859P1
INFILE '$FILE'
APPEND
INTO TABLE "XXDM_DM_17_ONACCOUNT_REC_SRC"
WHEN (1)!= 'FOOTER='

                              <Column_name>,
                              <Column_name>,

                              <Column_name>
Thanks in advance,
Aditya

Hi,
I suspect this is because of the built in default length of character datatypes in sqldr - it defaults to char(255) taking no notice of what the actual table definition is.
Try adding CHAR(2000), to your controlfile so you end up with something like this:
OPTIONS (SKIP=2)
LOAD DATA
CHARACTERSET WE8ISO8859P1
INFILE '$FILE'
APPEND
INTO TABLE "XXDM_DM_17_ONACCOUNT_REC_SRC"
WHEN (1)!= 'FOOTER='
FIELDS TERMINATED BY '|'
OPTIONALLY ENCLOSED BY '"'
TRAILING NULLCOLS (
                              <Column_name>,
                              <Column_name>,
                              COMMENTS CHAR(2000),
                              <Column_name>,
                              <Column_name>

You can leverage the XML SQL functions to extract from XML using the database, see the blog post below;
https://blogs.oracle.com/warehousebuilder/entry/leveraging_xdb
For example to extract information from your XML document the following SQL can be generated from OWB;
select extractValue(value(s), '/book/author'),
extractValue(value(s), '/book/year'),
extractValue(value(s), '/book/price') from
( select XMLType('<bookstore>
