How can I change the source DB?

Hi all,
I have implemented an ETL with OWB where the source DB and the target DB both are Oracle.
Now I have the same source (the same structure, tables, indexes,...) DB in MSSQL. Then my question is: how can I change the connections without modifying the mappings?
I only want to change the source DB in Oracle to the same DB in MSSQL, therefore the mappings that are getting the data from Oracle then will get the data from MSSQL DB. Is it possible? or I have to create new mappings for MSSQL?
Many thanks in advance,
Victor.
p.d. hope my english is understable

Hi
To have one set of mappings that could be switched to point to one system or another would be possible using synonyms to the source, where the synonym could be refined at runtime.
You can have unbound table operators in OWB mappings that would be the name of the source item. It helps to understand a little about how the code generation works in order to do this. If you use a source table T in a schema S1, and the mappings is in schema S2, then the generated code would refer to S1.T and may even have a dblink so S1.T@dblink, an unbound table operator for table T would simply use the name T in the generated code, this lets you define T however you want in the schema where the mapping is deployed to. So T could be a synonym that points to a local Oracle table for example named S3.MYORATAB or it could be a SQLServer table referenced via the database gateway using MYSQLSERVERTAB@mysqlserverinstance
Here is a trick to quickly define an unbound table operator based on the table structure of an existing table. You can quickly create unbound table operators that look like other tables by adding an existing table which you have imported into the map, then add a new table operator and add it unbound with a name. Then map from the bound table operators in/out group to the unbound table operators in/out grp, this will define all of the attributes and datatypes, you can then delete the bound table operator to leave the unbound one.
An alternative would be to copy-paste the mappings and synchronize the source table operators with the SQLServer table definitions.
Cheers
David

    Thanks in advance.You have to use Reports Trigger named BEFORE PARAMETER FORM and write the following sql
    select sysdate into :Parameter_name from dual;
    give your format mask at Parameter_name.
    Hope this will help you

  • How can I change the source file so it is direct from external hard drive?

    I am trying to make a movie on imovie of a snowboarding trip that I went on, there is around 80 to 100 gig of mp4 movies that will not fit on my computer that I have stored on my external harddrive. I had the movie half finished then found I could do no more as I had no space left in my mac. I had to delete everything and start again but I'm not doing this until I can find a way of changing the source file so I can take them direct from my external hard drive as to not use up all my computers available space. I have moved imovie to my external hard drive but it still tries to read from a movie file on my mac, how can I change that so it will read from a source file on my external hard drive, is it possible?? Can someone help me??

    Hi Bengt, Thanks for your input, much appreciated.
    I have a WD 1TIG hard drive and are using usb connection, is it possible to use fire wire with these? I have had trouble with a lot of the videos I Imported, once they downloaded the file in the viewer window showed up blank and when I mouse over them it places a picture of another file in the window and wont drag and drop into the movie window, like their corrupted or something? Had to delete just about all of them and start again. Also is it possible to select a bunch of videos in the viewer window as to change the dates to the correct dates? All I have been able to do is "select all" which is no help.

  • How can I change the size of a pdf source file, or, convert it to Word?

    How can I change the size of a pdf source file, or, convert it to Word?

    A lot depends on the form of the PDF. Is it graphics, a scan of a text file, pure text, or other? What version of Acrobat are you working with.
    You can do a save as to get a WORD file, but do not expect great results. The ability to get a decent WORD file depends on what the form of PDF you are working from. If it was created from WORD with tags and all, you might get good results. If not, you might get a lot of messed up results.
    Explain what you are starting with and your ultimate goal. Also check the audit of the file (should be under PDF Optimize) to see where the file information is concentrated (text, fonts, graphics, other).

    If you did not get an OS X install-restore DVD with the computer you may need
    to buy one from somewhere, and you may be lucky to get a retail OS X 10.5.x
    version. The original grey-label install set of software and OS X it shipped with
    likely would be an older system than Leopard 10.5. Last versions of G4 Mac, &
    G5, shipped with a Tiger 10.4 system; so did early Intel-based Mac. Grey discs
    which accompanied other computer build models generally do not interchange.
    The last OS X version a PowerPC architecture can use, if supported, is 10.5.8.
    A PPC processor at 867MHz & faster should be able to run OS X 10.5 Leopard.
    {With the correct disc installer, you can use it to change a password and other
    things including re-install, and perform disk utility functions, etc.}
    There is a chance you may be able to get a white-label Replacement 10.4 DVD
    or Replacement 10.5 DVD from AppleCare or the online Apple Store (800myapple)
    from a Mac OS X system specialist; these have been available yet hard to get
    as not all persons involved with them seem to know if they still exist until someone
    is asking. These aren't retail stock, are special discs for computers who could use
    a system later than original old discs; these are complete install discs not for one
    specific series of Mac. Generally they'd work in supported PowerPC G4/G5; but
    do not replace specialized original install DVD, such as an early Intel mac requires.
    You'd need to have a serial number of the computer, and a method of payment
    when seeking some replacement system media from Applecare or Apple sales
    and these discs are not available in a retail store. The original Retail discs are
    labeled differently and shipped in a retail box with a big X on the front. Other
    sources for retail 10.4 Tiger or 10.5 Leopard may be online via amazon sellers
    or computer resellers who handle repaired Macs. Avoid mystery grey label ones
    that were intended to be sold and kept with their original computer kits.
    Good luck!

  • How can I remove the " Source.vi" from long Express VI Names?

    I am in the Moment working on the Development of an Express VI
    library for test purposes.
    How can I remove the " Source.vi" from long Express VI Names?
    This happens when the Express VI is inserted in the blockdiagram
    and listed in LabVIEW and TestStand Palettes.
    By short names like "DAQ-Assistent" or "EasyCalc" the string " Source.vi"
    is not shown at the end of the Express VI names.
    I used The Express VI Dev Toolkit 1.0 to create the Express VIs.
    Labview Version: 7.1 Base
    TestStand: 3.1
    It would be great to get the expert advice from the Forum for this issue!
    Thanks a lot.
    Andre

    I think I understand what you are asking for. If I am wrong, please try to explain it a bit more.
    The name shown may be different than the name of the vi file. To do this, your source VI and popup on its icon. From the short menu that comes up, select VI properties. In the top ring, select Window Appearance. The page that comes up lets you set various things that can affect the appearance of the VI. What you want to change is the window title. Uncheck the Same as VI name checkbox and change the string to whatever you want it to be.
    I hope that this helps,

  • How can I change the frame rate mode?

  • How can I change the order of the songs listed in a playlist?

    How can I change the order of the songs listed in a playlist?

    Hello Pokerplayer62,
    In order to update the order of items in your playlists on the iPod Nano, you have to update them on the computer, and then sync the updated playlists to your device.
    From the iPod Nano User guide here: http://manuals.info.apple.com/en_us/ipod_nano_features_guide.pdf
    To set iTunes to update iPod nano automatically with selected playlists:
    Open iTunes and select iPod nano in the Source list. Click the Options button and click Music.
    Select “Automatically update selected playlists only.” Select the playlists you want.
    All the best,

    How can i change the font while im coding? I am not talking about the final product and inserting fonts in my documet i am talking about when i am in the progress of coding I want to change the font so it is way more pleaseing to the eye when I am staring at it while coding? please do help and thanks!

    Editing the source is a bit of a pain because you'll have to redo it after every update.  It's better to write yourself a mini-extension that adds a new stylesheet -- that is also very simple to do.  Just follow these instructions: https://github.com/adobe/brackets/wiki/Customize-Your-Code-Font.

  • How can I change the location for the backup from iphone to itunes?

    How can I change the location for the backup from iphone to itunes? I want to backup to my external harddisk and not the computer itself. How do I do it?

    Moving the iOS device backup location
    Open a command prompt by hitting the start button and typing CMD<Enter> in the search box that opens up, or with Start > Run on older Windows.
    To move the current backup folder from C: to D: (for example) type in this command and press <Enter>
    Move "C:\Users\<User>\AppData\Local\Apple Computer\MobileSync\Backup" "D:\Backup"
    Where <User> is your Windows user name.
    To make iTunes look for the data in the new location type in this command and press <Enter>
    MkLink /J "C:\Users\<User>\AppData\Local\Apple Computer\MobileSync\Backup" "D:\Backup"
    If your preferred drive has a different letter or you already have a folder called "Backup" then edit "D:\Backup" accordingly in both commands.
    If you have Windows XP then you'll need a third-party tool such as Junction to link the two locations together instead of the MkLink command. The source folder is C:\Documents and Settings\<User>\Application Data\Apple Computer\MobileSync\Backup

    Hello,
    There're different posiibilities, Export/Import can do it.
    But, if it's not a too large Table, you can use CTAS (from a user with DBA privilege for instance).
    Create Table <schema_target>.<table_name> as select * from <shema_source>.<table_name>;Then, you have to recreate the dependent objects (Index, ...) and drop the Source Table.
    If you have a set of Tables, it's better to use Export/Import.
    Hope this help.
