Different migration options with OWB.

Hi there,
We are very new to Oracle Warehouse Builder (OWB) version 10.2.0.3. We are Oracle E-Business Suite users. We will be loading data into 10gOLAP cubes via Analytical Workspace Manager and will be using Discoverer for OLAP for reporting.
We are considering various options with OWB migration from DEV -> UAT -> PROD.
Our current thinking is to install OWB in our DEV environment only. PL/SQL packages that are generated in DEV and tested will be migrated to UAT for execution.
Results of the execution of the PL/SQL packages in UAT will be subjected to users testing. Upon successful UAT testing by the users, we then migrate the PL/SQL code to PROD for execution.
What are the short comings of the above arrangement as compare to installing OWB on all three environments.
Also what are the benefits of using Workflow Manager as compared to using concurrent manager to submit our OWB PL/SQL packages?
Please share your thoughts on the above.
Thank you in advance

Sorry, but as you deduced, you cannot use branching in tests.
A test is expected to be a linear progression of slides,
where all scored slides have answers. If the user never sees some
questions, they cannot get 100%.
You might want to submit a feature request to specify that
only answered questions be evaluated when determining quiz passing
(or whatever terminology best fits what you'd like to see).
You can so so here:

Different user options with different sets of questions

Is there a way I can have two different options and when the user clicks on option A a whole set of questions/form fields appear. Or if they select option B a whole different set of questions/form fields appear?
How would I go about programming something like that?
Hopefully I was clear enough. Thanks so much! :)

Hi Arnold,
SAP Logon Tickets issued by the Portal contain two user ids, basically one for Java Systems and one for ABAP systems. See also note 843061 for details.
You do not need passwords for the reference system, if the user mapping is maintained by the user administrator, and the UM property ume.usermapping
.admin.pwdprotection is set to false, see http://help.sap.com/saphelp_nw04/helpdata/en/fe/d22a41b108f523e10000000a155106/frameset.htm. If you set the mapped user id programmatically, or if you retrieve it from an LDAP server, you also do not need to verify the ABAP password of the user (see https://media.sdn.sap.com/javadocs/NW04/SP12/ume/index.html and http://help.sap.com/saphelp_nw04/helpdata/en/0b/d82c4142aef623e10000000a155106/frameset.htm).

ORA-10827: database must be opened with MIGRATE option

Hi,
We are trying to migrate an Oracle 8.1.7 database to an Oracle 9i(9.2) database. I moved all the database files to the appr folder and I created a new instance using:
oradim -new -sid PROD -intpwd Oracle -startmode a -pfile C:\oracle\OraDb\Neuropace\initPROD.ORA.
I checked the alter log file and I get the following error:
ORA-10827: database must be opened with MIGRATE option.
How should one go about migrating a database(different versions). I went ahead with the migration. I opened the database using
alter database open resetlogs migrate.
But when i log into the database, I get an internal code error.
Any pointers?.

You must not open normally your database after an upgrade, in short the method is
1) startup migrate
2) run the upgrade script (which one depends on your old database version)
For step-by-step instructions see
http://download-west.oracle.com/docs/cd/B10501_01/server.920/a96530/upgrade.htm#1009200
'alter database open resetlogs migrate' is only applicable to upgrades from version 7 to 9.2, hopefully your database is not corrupted now.

Things to do with owb when i clone database

dear all.
im really worried because in less that 12 hours i must to migrate or cloned my 11.1.06 db. the clone procedure is not a problem. The host, ports, sid and service will be the same because i will cloned in another server.
the problem is,
1.- what should i do after this operation with OWB environment? i mean, this database use for datamart operations and this have owbsys user unlock and objects like workspaces, projects ....
...but if i have the same parameters and names (hostname, ports, initora, tnsnames, etc) i must to do something with workspaces or workspaces users?
I saw How To Update Warehouse Builder After A Database Cloning http://ID 434272.1 but this not applied because i have the same parameters.
The next question is:
i forgot my owbsys password from this database, and i want to change. should i do only with: ALTER USER OWBSYS IDENTIFIED BY xxxxx;
two dasys ago i posted but only one person answer me: Re: change owbsys password in 11g
thanks for answers two questions.

Hi,
if host, ports, sid and service will be the same on the new server you need only install OWB software in the same directory,
and you don't need to make any changes against OWB repository.
i forgot my owbsys password from this database, and i want to change. there is not anough to run ALTER USER in this case.
You need to to execute additional script under OWBSYS user - set_repository_password.sql (I am not sure at 100% about exact procedure for OWB11g, maybe now it is slightly different from previous OWB releases - I will check in OWB installation guide when Oracle docs server will up). And don't forget to restart Control Center Service (or whole DB instance)

Hi All, I am using iphone in UAE and ipad in India usinging same apple id. Earlier I could do imessage to my Ipad with different name but with software update,I am unable to do, as signing id for the iphone and ipad is same.How to restore back

I believe because you migrated from a Nokia to an iPhone you need to register the Bn phone number with your Apple ID so it can be used for iMessage. The Pn number seems to be the only one registered
Go here > https://appleid.apple.com/cgi-bin/WebObjects/MyAppleId.woa/
Manage your Apple ID and see if that does the trick

Error while registering user with owb repository.

Hi all,
I am using owb 10gr2.
I am trying to register a user with owb repository. I am getting below error.
ORA-00955: name is already used by an existing object
But when i try to deploy the mapping, it is showing a message
Cannot deploy PL/SQL maps to the target schema because it is not owned by the Control Center.
I am sure the user is not registered with owb repository. But i don't know why it is showing 0RA - 00955 error. Can somebody tell me what is the possible error.
vasu

Hi,
the user was created outside the owb ("... because it is not owned by the Control Center") direct in the database. You must first use the repository assistant (advanced options) to make him to a target user.
Then you can register him in the owb as repository user with special rights.

HP ColorLaserJet CP3505X - Relationship between different Color Options

Hi everybody,
I know this is not exactly the right forum to ask this question, but I've put up the question in the HP Laserjet forum as well as in the Photography forum here and have not received any answer to it. Maybe somebody out here can answer it out of experience with a HP Color Laserjet printer:
Can anybody explain the relationship/interaction between the different Color Options (e.g. in the PCL6 driver) of the CP3505X to me?
Options available:
1) Driver Properties
Color Management:
Automatic
ManualDefault Color Profile
2) Printing Preferences
Advanced Tab:
ICM Method
Disabled
Handled by Host System
Handled by Printer
Color Tab:
Color Themes
Default (sRGB)
Image Optimization
Adobe RGB
None
Custom Profile
What kind of profiles are involved when printing output from an application in which case? The manual is very unspecific about this
For example:
Under which circumstances is the profile specified under Manual Color Management in the Driver Properties used? And is it the only correction applied under those circumstances?
What profile is being applied when "ICM Handled by Printer" is chosen in the Printing Preferences?
Under which circumstances are the Color Themes specified under the Color Tab used, and under which circumstances are they ignored?
I am completely confused an would appreciate any explanation.
Thanks

How to manage different load frequencies in OWB?

How to manage different load frequencies in OWB?
We are using OWB repository 10.2.0.1.0 and OWB client 10.2.0.1.31. The Oracle version is 10 G (10.2.0.3.0). OWB is installed on Linux.
We have situation to bring data feed into database using OWB on different load frequency. Eg. Daily, weekly and monthly.
Are there any builtin features/best approaches in OWB to implement the above?
Does runtime audit tables maintain such load frequency data?
If not, do we need to maintain our own tables (custom) to maintain such data?
How do we able to validate before starting ETL process with respect to previous load frequency for current load?
How did our forum members handled above situations?
Any idea ?
Thanks in advance.
RI

If you look at the OWB public function WB_RT_GET_LAST_EXECUTION_TIME you can examine the query OWB uses to return this information. It is based entirely on public views that you should already have synonyms for in your OWB user.
Now, how you want to implement logic to determine if a mapping is run is entirely up to you If you are using process flows you could embed your call to start a mapping in a custom transformation that queries the repository and starts a given mapping if it deems the correct interval to have passed. We do something similar as a means to perform a process flow restart (it will skip over any successfully completed mappings from the last run if the last COMPLETE run did not finish succesfully), so that a restart picks up where the last run failed.
The main caveat I would make to mining the runtime repository is that someone purging old data might very well purge the data you are depending on, so you might want to build a couple of tables to hold your own metadata for you. E.g. one table holding the mapping name and desired interval between loads, and another holding the mapping name and last run date. The second table could get updated by the post-mapping procedure of each mapping.
Anyway, the data IS there in the repository. How you intend to access it or how much you are willing to trust its persistence is up to you.

Hyper V Cluster Migration - Options

Hello,
I have a Server 2012 4 node cluster that i need to migrate to new hardware along with all the VMs. The new hardware will be a 2 node Server 2012 R2 cluster. Can i please have some advice on my migration options? I am using iSCSi SAN storage but have limited
available to make available to the new cluster as it is all being used by the current one.
I was hoping I could add the host to the existing cluster but that does not appear to be the case. So i think my only options now would be to either use copy cluster roles wizard or import/export process, found here: http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/dn486792.aspx
If I use the copy cluster roles wizard should i setup the storage on the new hosts, as in make it available via iscsi initiator, before i create the cluster? I just have concerns about giving access to the same CSV storage that is currently live on the current
cluster. I am using SCVMM 2012 for management. Many Thanks. Carl.

Hi Alexey, thanks for your reply and sorry for my delay. I ended up setting up the new cluster, giving it some storage and live migrating the VMs - this was taking a long time so basically completed what you explained above - i used the copy cluster roles
wizard, turned off the VMs on the old cluster, bought the CSV online on the new cluster then turned the machines on. It was actually pretty much issue free which was a nice surprise. Yes there was also a chunk of downtime but luckily I managed to get approval.
Thanks, Carl.

Upgrading: Migration Assistant with FireWire or Time Machine Restore?

Hello,
I recently ordered a new Black Penryn MacBook to replace my 17" iMac. Would you recommend using the Migration Assistant with FireWire or a Time Machine restore in order to copy all of my data to the MacBook? I have the option to do both, but am unsure of which would be the best. Is the time machine restore more suited to restore a failed drive as opposed to facilitating a data transfer between two machines? Finally, regarding either of the transfer options, will there be any issues with keychain or application data that I should be aware of? Thanks for your help!

Those are two of the option presented by Migration Assistant. I think the end result will be the same. If I was doing it, I'd use the FireWire method, just because it's coming directly from the source instead of through a backup archive structure.

Why cann't i see the cube that i create with owb ??

hello:
owb version:10.1.0.4
db version:10.2.1.0.1
Business Intelligence 10.1.2.0.2
windows 2003
i use owb create 3 dimensions and 1 cube,and deploy on target schema successfully.
and export the metadata to eex file, and import eex file into discoverer administrator ,when create workbook i can see the cube created with owb;
then i selected ORACLE BI DISCOVERER option to connect target_schema,so i can see my cube and dimension;
but when i selected ORACLE BI DISCOVERER FOR OLAP option to connect target_schema, login in successful , but when i create my workbook ,cann't see my cube and demension
why for this,and how to do it,so i can see them?
pls help me!

There are three ways to deploy a multi-dimensional model and the final model selection depends on the database options you have purchased and they tools you have at your displosal:
relational access - You can define relational cubes and dimensions within OWB and deploy these to your target schema. The dimensions are implemented as query re-write objects and can be viewed within the view USER_DIMENSIONS. The data relating to the dimension is stored within a simple relational table, either as a snowflake or star schema format. The cube object does not really exist as such but is implemented as fact table. Typically, access to this type of implementation is via Discoverer and you need to create a Discoverer EUL to view the deployed tables. Within Discoverer you will not see the dimension or cubes listed but you will see tables and/or views relating to your deployed schema.
The Discoverer Bridge will create the eex/EUL file to install the schema within Discoverer Administrator. However, you must use Discoverer Plus/Viewer with the relational connection details.
As an FYI the management of Discoverer EULs is integrated within OWB 10gR2.
OLAP models - OWB also supports the deployment a schema as either a relational OLAP model or within an analytic workspace (this creates a MOLAP model). The OLAP deployment can be viewed only using Discoverer OLAP, however, management of the schema does not require an EUL and the administration is managed by Discoverer Administrator. All the administration is managed by OWB. To access a multi-dimensional model using Discoverer OLAP you must first run the OLAP bridge from within OWB. This will deploy all the required metadata for Discoverer OLAP to connect to your schema.
However, I would recommend you urgently upgrade to OWB10gR2 as this provides additional tuning options for the OLAP data model that are not present in your current version of OWB 10.1.0.4. Unfortunately, with your current OWB version building an OLAP model is a two stage process, a form of data staging. You need to create a relational target schema first and then replicate that target schema within an OLAP model. OWB10gR2 allows you to map data from a source object directly to a multi-dimensional object with no need to stage the data.
If you cannot upgrade at this point my suggestion would be to use OWB to design the target relational schema and then use Analytic Workspace Manager (AWM) to design your OLAP schema for Discoverer OLAP access. AWM will provide you with all the tools for tuning and managing your OLAP model within a 10gR2 database schema.
Once you have upgraded to OWB10gR2 you can stop using AWM as all the tuning features are within OWB.
Hope this makes sense and is helpful.

Modelling different workflow-options

Hi,
There is a wiki which tells us the different work-flow options you can use:
SAP Business Workflow,
Guided Procedures
Collaboration tasks
ccBPM
etc.
Question1: is the a comprehensive tool to model these different altogether or do we need SAP Business Workflow's own modelling tool, UML for guided procedures, ? for Collaboration tasks and BPMN for BPEL separately (I hope it's not...).
Question 2: How does ARIS EPC's relate to this: the EPC is used for business-modelling. This should be the starting point for configurating different workflow-options, (using different models?).
Greetings Theo

Hi Theo,
I've nothing to hide but that quote was taken from an internal SAP mail so it wasn't polished for forum publication.
Just to clarify - I agree with your description of the layers.
I believe that a bpx working in an SAP environment should be aware of the tools (and approximate capabilities) at their disposal as well as basic functionality in the underlying business components deployed.
I believe that any question along the lines of "how do you do this with..tool A" is definitely not for the bpx forum. It should go in the relevant tools forum. Seeing as most of these posts are related to SAP Business Workflow or BAM or XI then they should go in the SAP NetWeaver BPM forum. There is also a CAF forum for guided procedures and a Visual Composer forum for VC and other forums for the other tools (such as BI). I.e. No need to create a new forum, just direct these tool posts to the tools forums.
I don't know whether BPMN or UML can really be understood by the business experts. In my experience white-boarding and flow-charts work pretty well but maybe the business experts have become more process savvy (which is why we want to offer certification).
Experience in a process automation project is a must, and knowledge about why this process is being done in such-and-such a way (e.g. 6-Sigma understanding) is also a must.
The BPX can reach level 1 from either level 1 or level 3. Philip Kisloff's BPX article is an excellent demonstration of level 3. Yes, he did use workflow to solve the problem but he had his bpx glasses on when he wrote the article.

Best way to JOIN with OWB 10.2

Hi Gurus,
im a newbie in working with OWB and i also apologize for my englisch. I have the following Issue. Im using Oracle warehousebuilder and i want to load data in a new Table as Table3 from two distinct source table Table1 and Table2.
It should look like this: Table3.col1 = Table1.col2 ; Table3.col2 = Table1.col3; Table3.col3 = Table2.colb.
I mean it is a kind of JOIN but the column from Table3 have to be just the same as the column from Table1 and Table2 and no other combination.
Table1 : col1 | col2 | col3
Table2: cola | colb | colc
Table3: Table1.col2 | Table1.col3 | Table2.colb
Can someone help me?
Thx

Vinzsanity,
The problem is that you are trying to model a query that requires something more than a simple join as you seem to hope..
Joining based on simple table row order is not something relational databases are really designed to do well. They join on values. For example, if you simply try to write basic SQL to make your join you discover the problem:
select t1.col1, t2.colb
from   table1 a,
         table2 b
where a.rownum = b.rownum ;What you get is an ORA-01747 error as the rownum psuedocolumn is not valid in this context. But if you don't find a way to join on roworder you get the crossproduct - which is NOT what you want.
The simplest pure SQL join to get your results as described in your sample data is:
select a.col1, b.cola
from   (select rownum rnum, s.* from table1 s) a,
         (select rownum rnum, t.* from table2 t) b
where a.rnum(+) = b.rnum;but this only implies a possible one-way outer join to meet your described data sample. If you want a full outer join to handle the possibilities where either table could have more or less rows than the other, then
select a.col1, b.cola
from   ((select rownum rnum, s.* from table1 s) a
         full outer join
       (select rownum rnum, t.* from table2 t) b
       on (a.rnum = b.rnum))Now, clearly this is NOT going to me modelled as just a simple join in OWB. First, you need to find a way to add the rownum pseudocolumn to both table result sets in order to be able to join on them. For example, you could use an expression object for each table, dump all of the fields straight from the expression input to the expression output, and then add a rownum column to the output as well. Then join the two with a joiner defined as full outer join on the two rownum fields and map the required columns to the target table.
Or, you could create a view:
Create or replace view table1_And_2_outer_join as
select a.*, b.*
from   ((select rownum rnum1, s.* from table1 s) a
         full outer join
       (select rownum rnum2, t.* from table2 t) b
       on (a.rnum = b.rnum))And use that view as the source object in your mapping.
Or create two views:
Create or replace view table1_with_rownum as
select rownum rnum1, s.* from table1;
Create or replace view table2_with_rownum as
select rownum rnum2, t.* from table2 tAnd then use the two views as your sources and join them together using the joiner object defined as outer join on the rownumber values.
Any of those three options will get you what you seem to want.
Cheers,
Mike

Load .csv file data with OWb Process flow using Web

Hi,
I Have a file in my local machine( Machines on multiple user's), need to load data through Web user interface.
Let's say have a web page with multiple radio buttons respective to different sources, by clicking on each button will pass the path of .csv file to through Application, (API or Java programming interface) execute owb Process flow as a accepting file path as a input parameter to execute for loading purpose.
Should facilitate view data, Update data through web based on user requests.
Need your guidence how can i implement this with OWb 11g R2.
Assuming with Web browser functionality. Please confirm it and if yes, please throw some light how could be the steps to implement.
Thanks

Hi David,
Thanks for your reply.
Undersatnd your proposed solution.But my requirement should be as follows.
1. Currently under consideration using web page likely to be implement with Java, allowing users to load .csv file data into staging area.(Loading flat file into Data abse table)
Case 1, Assuming OWB software is not installed on user machine. I think no.
Is it possible through web page (this case Java page) to trigger java procedure/Pl/SQl procedure or integration of both to laod data into staging area.If yes, how it could effect performance of data load with 1 GB file.
Case 2, OWb client software installed on User machine, while runtime passing parameters means passing manually?
In case it is automated, how should i pass machine name & Path to owb runtime web browser.
Could you please show me guidence how should I acheive this functionality with APEX customization part?
Thanks agin for your support.
Anil
