Importing packages/procedures into OWB

Is it possible to import packages or procedures into OWB that are stored on a different database?
I want to call a procedure in a mapping that is stored on a different database. I can only import tables and views (as data source ) from other databases.
I can only import PL/SQL packages into OWB if they're stored in the current database.
Does anybody have a solution?
Regards,
Maurice

Maurice,
Essentially the import uses a dblink, so you have the option to specify the dblink to another place and you should be able to see/import that pl/sql.
The most elegant and prefered way however is to import the pl/sql into the public transformations node (I'm using OWB 9.0.4). This is a bucket that holds sharable pl/sql and seems to address the need for you.
Here again you create the dblink and point at the remote db schema that owns the pl/sql.
Hope this helps,
Jean-Pierre

Import WB_RT_GET_JOB_METRICS procedure into OWB

How do I import this procedure WB_RT_GET_JOB_METRICS into my mapping.

You can get the public transformations. After you have opened your map, you can follow this path to get to the procedure: explorer in upper left pannel --> Pulic transformation --> Pre-defined --> control_center --> WB_RT_GET_JOB_METRICS . Then you can drap it to your map.

Import excel file into owb automatically, is it possible?

Is it possible to load several excel files in owb automatically?
I want to avoid the follow situation...
I have like 100 excel files I have to create 100 system dsn each pointing to one excel file.
Is it possible?
Thanks

The forum is how to integrate foreign databases into an oracle database using gateway. From the provided description you're trying to import an Excel file directly into OWB. OWB has its own mechanism to import these files , so better post your issue in the OWB forum:

Newbie- How to import package, procedures, etc?

I used the "Database export", from Developer computer, to expoty tables,export Procedures,export Packages,etc to a file
from SQl Developer.
In Sql Developer, How do I import those tables, import procedures, import packages to my "LIVE REAL " computer?
I want to copy Package, copy procedure, etc from "Developer computer" to "LIVE REAL DATA" computer?
TIA
Steve42

If you have access to the 2 databases from your sqldev client (and thus have connections set up to both of them), just run the obtained export file from the dev DB as script (F5), using the connection to the production DB (drop-down in the upper right corner).
Have fun,

Importing Stored procedures into pre-made report

Hello all,i'v got some trouble with some pre-made reports that we wish to start using with embedded java engine.Reports are stored procedure based and the built-in connection is ODBC.What I'd like to do is to change the datasource to JDBC datasource and run all queryes through there. Is is possible with CR4E ? Best regards,Henrix

Hi Henrix,
This is possible, however there is a known issue with the Database Explorer that ships with CR4E in that Stored Procs are not displayed. You can check out the following forum thread if you want more information on this specific issue:
*http://diamond.businessobjects.com/node/520*
This issue generally affects creating new reports against Stored Procedures, but it will affect you as well as it will prevent you from using the UI to switch from one database driver to another, Primarily because the Stored Procs won't be displayed in the destination table that you wish to switch to.
To get around this we will need to create a simple java routine to switch the tables via code. The attached code below will go through all of the tables in the main report and the subreport and assign the new JDBC connection information:

Import PLSQL procedure or package into OWB

Here's a simple question. In schema X, I created a procedure and a package. If I try to import them into OWB (10g R2), connecting to schema X and clicking on transformations and "import" doesn't show the newly created objects for import. I tried granting execute to OWB10GR2, but no luck. Closed and re-started design center with no luck.
Creating a procedure in Design Center and then deploying it to schema X works and is a workaround, but it's awkward to write code there (compile is deploy, which takes a lot longer than normal compile).
What am I missing so that I can't import a procedure into design center?

OK, so I'm going to answer my own question. Maybe someone else can use the info...
The problem is that I have development and production configurations.
Procedure or package defined only in one (dev or prod) schema won't show up on the import list. Apparently, in order to import the object into OWB you need to define it in all environments. Otherwise it doesn't show up on the import list.

Importing a package into OWB repository.

Hi,
there is a package existing in my OWB repository.
Package ABC
Procedure PQR(pram1 varchar2,param2 varchar2)
now i have modified this package in my target schema, an extra parameter is added to the procedure PQR.
Procedure PQR(pram1 varchar2,param2 varchar2,param3 number).
now when I re import this package to my OWB repository module. it shows both versions of the procedures.
Package ABC
PQR(pram1 varchar2,param2 varchar2)
PQR(pram1 varchar2,param2 varchar2,param3 number)
PQR(pram1 varchar2,param2 varchar2) is still vsible in OWB repository though it is replaced with PQR(pram1 varchar2,param2 varchar2,param3 number) in target schema.
Is there any way I can replace the old version of procedure with the new version in OWB repository.
Regards

Hi
Standard approach to be followed for any object modification
1. If you have created your package from OWB and deployed it into your DB, always do it that way i.e. Design center -->DB . Do not make any modifications on DB level and import in back to your Design center. OWB manages Ids for all objects on the repository and this will confuse it. That is why you see two versions of the same package . Any modifications should be done on Design center level and then do a replace on the package from control center
2. If an object (package or procedure) is created on DB directly and is imported into design center, follow the same norm everytime you make any changes to that object. The status of that object will appear as "New" or "Not deployed" on control center but that is fine because OWB has no ID on its repository to maintain this information.
3. If you need to rename any object already deployed from OWB, always drop it first, then rename it and then deploy it. That way OWB will maintain the name and ID on its end and not get confused.
4. For your case, you can drop the older version of the package from OWB, delete the one imported from Database into OWB, make the changes on OWB level (adding parameter etc) and then redeploy the same package as replace from control center.
Hope these tips help

Argument Order Reversed Importing Package into OWB

I'm having a problem importing Packages into OWB. It recognizes the Functions contained in the Package, however the order of the arguments for each Function are reversed after I complete the import into OWB. This causes execution of the mapping to fail... Additionally, after importing into OWB, OWB doesn't seem to recognize any optional parameters or default values in the signature of the Function. I must be doing something wrong... Can anyone help...
Thanks

Importing Database Package into OWB changes position of parameters .. Nasty

Hi all,
Anyone else having the same problem ? Any solutions ? Or is this a bug.
When a package is imported from a DB schema, OWB kindly changes the order in which the parameters are listed.
The effect is that any mapping using the procedure or function will not have the correct parameters passed to.
For example.
DB_Test_proc
io_name_in in out varhar2,
o_clean_name_out out varchar2
After importing in OWB the parameter positions are reversed .... very nasty.
Anyone can help or do I raise a bug ?
Regards
Nick

Hi Borkur,
Dropping and re-importing the package would work well (works for another module) but this is a package whose procedures and functions are heavily referenced in several mappings and process flows (supports the custom job management). So, I would be forced to re-synchronize them all which I want to avoid. The other way would be to modify the package manually (only the signature is needed not the code since I will not deploy it from OWB, in fact, I deployed it from Oracle Designer !!!). But OWB Paris doesn't allow this. Once imported, always imported. You can modify imported tables, procedures, functions but not packages. Or is there a way ???

Thomas

Import package from one project into another

Hello everyone,
I have some projects.
An enterprise and war project created in netbeans.
I would like to use some files from one project to another. when I import
the package I get the error-
'package x does not exist'
I have added the package to the project but I still get the error.
I have also added the project to import to my glasspath but still.
E.g.
set classpath
.;c:\enterpriseA;
My next idea is to create a war project into my enterprise project and copy the files
from the war project into it in order to use it. But I'm sure there is a better way.
THanking you in advance.

One mistake I keep making is that I don't add the package to the
Dependencies of the plugin I'm writing. You have to go to plugin.xml,
and add the package you depend on to the Dependencies section. Maybe you
didn't do this?

Geting an error trying to import a data file into OWB repository

Hi,
We're using OWB 11.1.0.7.0
I'm trying to import a new data file and I'm getting an error.
When I go to The Project/Files/ I right click on the module I want to add the files to,
I get a 'Wizard' titled 'Welcome to the Import Metadata Wizard'.
I click next.
I get the 'Filter Information' screen that asks if I want to select 'All Data Files' or a specific file.
I pick 'All Data Files' and click 'next'.
I get the 'Object Selection' screen that has a left and right panel. The left side is titled 'Available' and the right side is titled Selected.
The 'Available' panel had the directory in Linux (/etl/datafeeds/dev) where our data files are stored with a plus sign next to it.
When I click the plus sign, I get an error message that says:
API2836: Directory
/etl/datafeeds/dev does not exist.Has anyone seen this? What is the work around? Is it a bug? How do I import a data file into OWB if this isn't the way to do it?
Thanks,

Hi, is there any obligation to use import wizard?
can you use right click and import view/table?

Insert existing procedures into packages

hi all,
i have
begin
pg_reins_flat_file.pr_load_temp('1','sr_pre_inforce.txt');
pg_reins_flat_file.pr_load_temp('2','sr_pre_spinforce.txt');
end;
i need create a new procedures to insert into my exisiting packages.
wat i shud do ? tks.

I'm not sure that I really understand what you're asking here.
If you want to create a new procedure oin the PG_REINS_FLAT_FILE package, you'd just have to edit that package spec (assuming you want to create a public procedure) and package body to add the new procedure. You don't insert procedures into a package.
Justin

Create Package Spec in OWB

I could not find a way to create a Package Spec within OWB.
If I created the spec and body in sqldeveloper then imported it into OWB
it created the package spec and body and I could go between and modify at will.
Am I missing something?
Is there a way to create the spec in owb.
thanks
greG

Package spec and body appers in OWB only for imported packages.
For packages created (not imported) in OWB spec generated automatically based on specification of function/procedure which you defined for this package
