OWB is a tool for designing, generating, managing and running ETL from any source into an Oracle-based warehouse.
There is a forum set aside to discuss that product. It is in the 'Data Warehousing' category, not the 'Database' category'.
There are white papers, case studies, and other support information describing Warehouse Builder. It is available from http://otn.oracle.com, in the 'Products' area (left side) under Developer Tools, as well as under Database > BI & Warehouse > Warehouse Builder (related links on right side)
There is documentation. It is available from http://docs.oracle.com - look for the link 'Warehouse Builder' on that page.
Oracle has several Oracle University courses related to the product. Look at http://education.oracle.com and search for Warehouse Builder.

  • New licensing for OWB 10g R2 (Paris)

    Hi,
    Does anyone know how much the new licenses (per DB server CPU) for OWB 10g R2 (Paris) cost?
    Is it correct that the features for the modeling of SCD 1 and 2 are not included in the basic "Core ETL Features"?
    If I'm using the the SCD 2 features to develop the OWB mappings do I also need to license the "Enterprise ETL" for the production server?
    Related to the previous question: for the production DB where I only need the runtime part of the repository is it required to license any options?
    Regards
    Maurice
    PS: 2 links related to these questions:

    Maurice, not sure what to say. If you've been using OWB, then you don't lose any functionality going to the new version, and it will be "free". You simply won't get any of the new functionality (all of the old functionality is included in the "core" features)
    However, as I said in the other post, I hope Oracle reconsiders the SCD 1 / 2 / 3 licensing. To me, SCD type 2 are not "enterprise level" functionality - that is base level functionality for ANY data mart or data warehouse. I have no problems with paying for options the other ETL vendors are charging for (data quality comes to mind...), but if we deploy a large DW on a 32 processor box, paying for the Oracle licenses AND an addition $300,000+ for OWB functionality just to simplify SCD type 2, seems WAY overkill. Actually, in our project, we had pretty much settled on Oracle as the RDBMS for our DW, but if OWB is up in the air, we will probably open this up for an RFQ.

  • Guidelines for deciding directory structure for Swing Application

    Hi,
    We are developing a Swing Application for our organization. We want to organize the code and resources/icons/properties files in correct manner.
    We have guidelines for arranging the code for web application. Is there any such guidelines available for desktop application as well? What is the preferred location for keeping the icons and properties files?
    Regards,
    Manu

    Thanks Maran.
    I have already checked many installation guides before posting here. All of them mention about creating folders like /admin or /oradata on various mount points but none of the naming conventions really indicate whether it is a 8i database or a 10g database.
    This is required when you are having multiple Oracle installations under /opt and databases are running from different mount points.

  • Oracle warehouse builder - OWB & Oracle 10g Db on SuSE

    hi folks,
    i have Oracle 10g db on my laptop; and it runs great!
    but since i am trying to gain skills in data warehousing and business inteligence, and after reading about oracle warehouse builder, i decided to install it on my laptop as well.
    but i can not get my head around the docs for installing OWB.
    is the only requirement for OWB to have an OWB_ORACLE_HOME environment variable on linux? how do we start OWB service automatically?
    has anyone installed OWB with oracle on the same pc?
    i would appreciate your comments.
    thanks in advance,
    Nicolas

    Thanks Andreas,
    i have printed and followed the advice on these documents.
    that is how i have got confused about this OWB_ORACLE_HOME.
    i would very much appreciate if could provide me with some brief description of which environment variables are needed for OWB installation.
    regards,

  • How to install & Configure Work Flow for OWB

    Hi All,
    I have installed companion products and now to configure work flow, what schema name should I have to give.
    Can anybody tell me please.
    Thanks,
    Siva

    Hi Siva,
    If you are going to use workflow only for OWB , then what ever you have done is enough .
    Using the Companion CD launch the UI and from the installation options Choose the following option "Oracle Database 10g Companion Product” Installation Type (Install into new Home)
    This option will install the HTTP-Server
    This option will create the default DAD for workflow
    1 In the Middle Tier Configuration screen enter the required parameters
    Workflow Schema: Schema Name
    DB Host: DB Hostname
    Port Number: DB Port on Host
    Oracle SID: Database SID
    2. Enter the Password for your oracle Workflow Database Account
    3. This installation should have created the default DAD "/pls/wf" for you. It is required to restart the HTTP Server using the commands
    $ORACLE_HOME/opmn/bin/opmnctl stopall
    $ORACLE_HOME/opmn/bin/opmnctl startall
    Where ORACLE_HOME is the HTTP Server home
    4. Now you can access the Workflow Home Page
    Thanks,
    Sutirtha

  • End of Premier & Sustaining Support for OWB 10gR2

    Hi,
    I've read that for OWB 10gR1 the Premier Support ends Jul 2007 (Extended Support not offered) and the Sustaining Support ends Jul 2010 (no maintenance).
    Would you have the information for OWB 10gR2 ? => will drive our choice for 10gR2 or 11gR1...
    Thanks in advance,
    Sébastien

    From http://www.oracle.com/technology/products/warehouse/htdocs/owb_10gr2_faq.htm#HowisOWBPackaged:
    Is Warehouse Builder 10g Release 2 now licensed as part of the database?
    Yes, as of May 2006 Warehouse Builder is now shipped as part of the database and is no longer part of Developer Suite. The licensing and pricing have changed. See below for more details.
    What are the key licensing options for Warehouse Builder 10g Release 2?
    Warehouse Builder is now comprised of four components as follows
    The core ETL features are now provided free with the database Standard Edition, Standard Edition One, and Enterprise Edition. The core features that are provided free are those provided by the current 10g Release 1 version of Warehouse Builder with the addition of "Experts".
    So support for OWB10gR2 will follow support for DB 10gR2: Oracle Lifetime Support policy:
    http://www.oracle.com/support/lifetime-support-policy.html
    Release - GA Date Premier - Support Ends - Extended Support Ends - Sustaining Support Ends
    10.2 - Jul 2005 - Jul 2010 - Jul 2013 - Indefinite

  • Best practices for OWB worst behavior

    Is there a comprehensive troubleshooting guide for OWB? Any guidelines for investigating OWB problems?
    Edited by: user11835116 on Aug 27, 2009 1:17 PM

    To Nico,
    Thank you for your information - a debugger is certainly a helpful tool. But I am not sure it would helped me in finding a problem with a job that processes a huge number of data where only little of them actually cause run time errors. I am not sure you always can figure out that tiny part of data that would make a debugging sessioin reveal the problem.
    All
    I still wonder what are general comprehensive guidelines for investigating a production problem. We had a case when OWB job terminated because of number of errors exceeded the limit. We had all kinds of errors: "no data found", "zero length identifier", "insufficient privileges". I am new to OWB but I was lucky to have help of an experienced OWB developer on the one hand and a person who knows data on the other. The latter discovered that only data with a particular range of a particular attribute were causing the problem. Together we went through code map by map and found a function that processes that particular kind of data and caused the “no data found” problem. We found the bug because my coworker has good knowledge of data. I am new to OWB and without assistance of that experienced developer I would have no clue how to search for the bug. This is where I am coming with my question about comprehensive roadmap for debugging a run time error. I am looking for guidelines that work when you do not know the data, general guidelines that tell you where to start and how to proceed - some general sequence of steps.

  • How to find the executables for OWB Client, Design and Runtime Repositories

    Hi Guys,
    I have installed OWB 10G in the my local desktop (in D Drive). From the start menu, I can see the menu options for OWB Client, OWB Design Repository and OWB Run time Repository. If I want to get that execuatbles from which location can I find out. All the menu options are pointing out into d:\OWB Home \....\bin\launch.exe, but when we hit launch.exe nothing is displayed on the screen. can anyone give their suggestions pls
    Regards
    Kishan

    launch.exe is the executable but if you look at the lnk files in your start menu the launch exe is followed by two parameters where the last one points to a specific cl file (I'm guessing short for command line) in the same bin directory that also contains a number of parameters. Here all the java jar files are listed that are needed to launch the specific component and how much memory the application can/may use.
    So you won't find a classic windows executable if that is what you are looking for. But why are you searching for this in the first place since you can just copy the shortcut/lnk file if you want shortcuts in other places?

  • Best Practises and Guidelines for SharePoint 2013 Development

    Currently We are using SharePoint 2010 and doing a lot of enhancement and customization in the portal.
    we are planning to migrate SharePoint 2013 after 6-9 months.
    I want to know what are the best practices and guidelines for development in SharePoint 2010 keeping one thing in mind that customization should be compatible or can easily migrate to SharePoint 2013 so that re-engineering effort would be as minimum
    as possible.
    We have every possible piece of customization in SharePoint 2010 portal like web part, event receivers, workflows, master page, page layout, custom search etc.
    Please do the needful.

    Best practices don't really apply here. They are generally rules of thumb that you can apply without thinking too much and be pretty much right. Development is by it's nature too varied to allow that sort of best practice guidance.
    Having said that the main thing you should be concerned with around the choice of development approach in 2013 is the intended future of your client and the application. If they are making a move to the cloud you should be concentrating on the app model
    and rapidly phasing out farm solutions. If they are considering it then you can still consider using the more old-school options of farm solutions and sandboxed solutions. If they can't go to the cloud because of data security etc. then you are more or less
    free to use what you like.
    Also, try to move to client side processing wherever possible. MS are only going to make server side work less pleasant in future.
    Beyond that, get to some conferences and start chewing through some of the blogs on the topic.

    Hello,
    Is anybody here who succeeded to install the connector for Oracle Database 10g into OIM 9.1.0?
    If yes please give me a hint
    Have a nice day!

    Thanks guys for the quick responses.
    But I have tried both the options for putting the jar in Third Party and also by uploading using the OOTB utility UploadJar.sh.
    But it is giving the same error.
    I have tired rebouncing the server and also Purge cached, but no success.
    Just to mention again, I have tried with all the last 3 postgres JDBC4 driver available on the site (u mentioned).
    So, any other clue?
    Thanks in advance.

  • New Features for OWB 9.2

    Mark Van De Wiel mentioned yesterday in this forum that OWB 9.2 is now available at http://otn.oracle.com/software/products/warehouse/content.html . From the version number it would appear that this is a major new release, and it's a separate install rather than a patch on OWB9.0.4.
    Would Mark, Igor or Shauna be able to give us some background on the new features in this new release? From quickly looking at the release notes they would appear to be;
    - Correlated Commit (committing changes across all targets uniformly)
    - Ability to create public database links
    - Direct PEL (removes the need for temporary tables when exchanging partitions)
    - Enhanced Flat File Support
    - Mapping Debugger
    - Incorporation of ETL functionality previously found in standalone Pure*Integrate
    - Metadata change management using the OWB GUI rather than using OMB*Plus
    - Multiple Name and Address Software Providers
    - Name/Address Wizard
    - New Public API for OWB
    - Better support for Real Application Clusters
    - Advanced Repository Security and Audit options
    - Support for MITI metadata bridges to third-party products
    It would be good to know the thinking behind these and what areas they think will be particularly of interest to us. Also, has anything been removed or changed that we've got used to using?
    Also, any day now (fingers crossed) the patch to make the OLAP functionality in OWB9.0.4 work (the 9i 9.2.0.3.x patch?) should be out - will this work with OWB9.2 as well?
    Many thanks

    Hi Mark,
    While I'm not in your list of people to respond I figure I give it a go anyways :-)
    The list of features you mentioned is a nice summary. One of the main release themes is data quality as you noticed. Apart from changes to the name&address functionality we also added the advanced matching and merging into this release. So you can use custom rules to match and merge data. This also allows you to do things like householding for customer data records. In essence we have now completed the integration of Pure*Integrate into Warehouse Builder.
    The mapping debugger is another big thing. This allow you to walk through your mappings and see in detail what happes to the data.
    The metadata change management is now in the UI. THis means there is now object level version management in Warehouse Builder via the UI. You can also compare versions and get a difference report.
    As you mentioned there are a number of smaller and bigger features next to this. The idea for this release is to make OWB a top Data Quality product and allow you to do your ETL and DQ in one tool. Apart from that we have added usability features (debugger, N&A wizard) and we have added some features to solve specific problems.
    Especially the corelated commit is interesting in that respect. You can now, in a map with multiple targets control the commit, and choose to either commit all targets or none, or commit them individually (current behavior).
    As usual there is a lot more, as this is indeed a major release. Keep an eye on OTN for more collateral regarding the new features. We are currently updating the site to reflect the new stuff.
    On the OLAP patch, both 9.0.4 and 9.2 will work equally well with the OLAP patch (when it is available). In 9.2 we added some small thing around composites. More about that when there is an OLAP patch to test this one on in a customer site.
    I hope this answered the question, if not let me know.

  • Can I migrate from WCS 7.0 to PI 1.2. If so, what are the guidelines for migration?

    Can I migrate from WCS 7.0 to PI 1.2. If so, what are the guidelines for migration? Do we have any Instructions/steps?

    Migration from WCS 7.0 to PI 1.2 can be  performed. If the customer wants to migrate data you need to first upgrade to  NCS 1.1.1  You can download NCS 1.1.1 from Cisco.com if you have a valid service  contract.
    For the migration step involving NCS an evaluation license is  sufficient.  You can obtain an NCS evaluation license from http://www.cisco.com/go/license >  Get Demo > Network Mgmt Products > Cisco Prime NCS Evaluation License.  
    Instructions for migrating data from WCS 7.0 to NCS 1.1.1 are available in  NCS 1.1.1 Release Notes.  Do not upgrade to NCS 1.1.2 as this release is not  upgradeable to Prime Infrastructure 1.2.  If you are ordering a Cisco Prime  physical appliance (PRIME-NCS-APL-K9) be sure to select the NCS 1.1 image which  you can later upgrade to Prime Infrastructure 1.2 after you have migrated your  WCS data.
    There is a post in the support forum which can be refered.
