Database Link on Same Database

It seems funny to me that If you are importing source metadata from the same database but different schemas you still need to use a dblink. Fetching data over the dblink will require more process overhead than granting select privileges to the owbdesign user.
Is there anyway I can import metadata from at the same db server without using dblink? Am I missing something?
Thanks,
Leo

A location is a logical entity that describes where a certain OWB object is located. There are several types of locations: an oracle database location refers to an Oracle DB schema, a file location refers to a file on a file system, a SAP location refers to a SAP instance etc. During deployment, the location will have to be 'registered' - i.e.the phisical location parameters will have to be specified (username/password, db instance, port and hostname for the database for example).
A connector is an object that is created implicitely by OWB once it is established that data will be flowing from one location to the other (for example, if both locations are databases, the connector will represent a database link).

  • Need help/info on "database link of same name has an open connection"

    Hello,
    I am trying to create an application on html db (new in html db) to see if I can move data from one database (oracle 9i) say dbdev to another one called dbtest. I want to be able to select the data from html db app and by clicking on a button move them to dbtest ( right now only looking at data from one table ). This is what I have done so far:
    1. created a duplicated table of dbdev into html db with no data.
    2. created package with procedures to
    A. create a database link
    B. delete if there is a record on html db table
    C. go trough a loop (cursor) and get the data from dbdev
    D. drop the database link
    Now, when I do all of the above steps I get an error “database link of same name has an open connection" but when I don’t do the step C. I don’t get this error. So something is wrong in my step C. On my step C, I just open the cursor, do a for loop and insert the records into my html db table.
    Any idea!!!
    Thanks
    More questions to come…..

    never mind, I should not drop the database link with in the procedure.
    thx

  • How to link the same horizontal page for two different vertical pages without duplicate them?

  • "a placed instance of this link is modified" though I tried to re-link the same file.

    "a placed instance of this link is modified" though I tried to re-link the same file. Problem does not occur when I place the same file in a new indesign document

    I'm going to repeat what I said previously, but in a different way to make it clearer, I hope. You have more than one instance of the same placed file. The file was modified after it was placed for at least one of these instances and that instance has not been updated. Updating that instance should resolve the issue.
    If there is no instance of the link in the links panel that shows the modified warning, then the file is probably damaged in some minor way and you should see Remove minor corruption by exporting

  • Forcing "Open cross-document links in same window" to be unchecked

    Hi All,
    I am distributing a PDF document set where there is one PDF with well over a hundred links to other PDFs which are located in sub-folders.
    The set will be distributed on USB thumb drives.
    It will be simplest for users if they have "Open cross-document links in same window" unchecked.
    Is there a way I can "force" it to be unchecked?
    During a test, someone got a security warning: "This document is trying to access abcd.pdf" Allow/Block. Why are they getting that message when there is no Internet request?
    Thanks very much for all thoughts and wisdom,

  • Windows.ApplicationModel.DataTransfer. How share image and link in same post ?

    How share image and link in same post  ?

    You can
    share a link and share an image (as an image or
    as a file), but logically speaking all of the data types shared are considered different views of the same thing. The share target will pull out the best format for its target and leave the rest. The share source cannot tell the target how to interpret
    the data.
    See
    Choosing data formats and file types.
    If you want to combine multiple data types in one view then you can combine them in an HTML page. See

  • Urgent ! Assigning (or Linking ) the same workbook into two different roles

    Hi Gurus,
    Coul you tell how to link the same workbook to two different roles.
    I am assigning the same workbook to two different roles, but in the second role the workbook is displaying with different structure than in the first role. I want the workbook should be displayed with same structure in both the roles.
    This is Urgernt.
    Thanks in advance.
    Best regards
    Hari

    Hello hari,
    Both the roles should diplay the same layout for a single workbook.
    please ensure that both the users(with these 2 roles) have similar (all the other)authorisations.
    it's possible that one of the users may have further restrictions in authorisations. check out for z-authorisation objects if any.
    hope it helps..

  • ORA-02018: database link of same name has an open connection

    Hi All,
    Am getting the above error msg from a procedure (packaged or not, doesn't seem to matter), run from a .SQL script through sqlPlus, where I've created a DB link, fired off a bunch of queries against it using dynamic SQL, and then tried to drop the database link. Have tried both through dynamic SQL as well as via as a straight statement in the SQL script and in both cases, get this statement. However, if I then open another connection/session to the DB, am able to drop the link fine. So - it seems related to the session life-cycle? Perhaps some sort of caching going on at the DB level is locking the DB link? Anyone else hit this, and if so, any clues on workarounds?
    Pretty sure this is "new" (10g) behavior as this script used to work fine in older (9i) DBs...
    Thanks,
    Jim

  • Remote and testing server don't see root relative links the same

    My site works fine on my testing server (Apache, MYSQL,
    PHP). I use root relative links in a library
    file (include file) so that it will work with all pages. For the testing server these links look like this:
    /my_sites_root_folder/aaa/bbb/ccc etc.
    If I use these same links on the remote server they won't work. To get hem to work I have to change all these links to the form
    /aaa/bbb/ccc etc.
    When dreamweaver uploads files to the remote server, the site name folder  (my_sites_root_folder) doesn't go along for the ride--just the files in it. So on the remote all the site files are stored in htdocs. On my testing server, the files are stored in htdocs/my_site_root_folder.
    I think it must have something to do with the way I'm setting up the remote and testing servers, but I'm read a hundred pages of instructions without being able to figure it out. I think I'm just seeing something wrong, but I've already spent days on this. Can someone please point me in the right direction?
    I'm using DWCS5. Internet explorer 8, Windows 7.

    Thank you for your prompt response. I'm afraid I'm still totally puzzled here. It sounds like you're very knowledeable about your comments, but I would like to know more. I accept that using the local site root in links would be bad, but I'm not clear WHY. Structuring the links as I have doesn't cause any links to break. I've structured them this way because it's the only way I can find that everything works. But I still do not understand WHY I have to do it. Using different libary include files doesn't seem like a good way to go, though
    You suggest that if I use any root relative links at all, I need to use vitual hosts. I'm not finding any good coverage of what these are, and especially why they are necessary. If this is the case, does that imply that templates (which use root relative links) also will not work on the test server (at least without vitual hosts)? The conclusion I'm coming up with, given your remarks, is "Dreamweaver doesn't work with root relevant links when you're trying to test a site with a test server." Is this right?

  • Open LINK in same TAB

    Indesign CS5
    When we insert a link using:
    Buttons / Go to URL / ...
    And then export to SWF. When we click on that button it opens the link in a new tab.
    How can we make it open in the same tab?

    This has been discussed but I don't think anyone's come up with an answer.

  • Open external portal link in same window ?

    Hello !
    I've got 2 different WDP applications (different controllers) in the same Portal environment.
    I want to call the second one's url from the first.
    Here's the code I'm using:
    IWDWindow window = wdComponentAPI.getWindowManager().createNonModalExternalWindow("/webdynpro/blabla", "blabla");
    window.show();
    It works very well but I would like it to open within the original window (cf the '_self' html fonction) instead of outside of it.
    Is there any alternative ?
    Thanx

  • How to open links in same window, another tab (by default)?

    I think the users have been asking this question for more than two years. Is there a way to open links in the same tab automatically? Its annoying when I am using apple products and have to click three times for a task that is easily made with a single click in other products (chrome, firefox....).

    Hi ...
    Not in the same tab but a new one yes. Command + click
    Check the Safari Extensions gallery...
    From your Safari menu bar click Safari > Safari - Extensions.
