Hi, I am new to obiee/informatica/DAC. Can someone please give me ETL steps in informatica and DAC or please help me where to find any good documentation about that.
Thanks,

What do u mean by ETL steps?
1. Do you want to use adapters?
2.Leverage the OOTB Mappings?
3.Build new Mappings?
4. What do you want to do with DAC?
if u want some details you can mail me at cognos dot cube [at] gmail dot com

  • Migrating Informatica and DAC servers

    We are trying to figure out a way to re-configure our current settings on a diffrent unix node. In our current set up Informatica, and DAC are installed on a shared drive accessible by 4 diffrent unix nodes. Informatica server, DAC server and a network interface that point to VIP used by informatica all runs on one unix (let us call it node1) server. What we are trying to do is to document the steps to migrate this setup to another unix server(let us call it node2) to cover ourselves in case of a hardware failure or for a server move. With this background, let me explain what we have done so far.
    1/ We were able to successfully bring up DAC server and Informatica server from node2 with minor changes in configuraton (DAC system properties for DAC server and re-configuring/re-creating the domain for Informatica). This worked fine when the network interface(that points to a VIP used by Informatica) was started from node1
    2/ However, this chaged set up did not work when the network interface(that points to a VIP used by Informatica) was started from node2. Informatica server did not come up when we network interface was started from node2.
    Question ?
    a/ Why the informatica server did not come up when the network interface was started in node2? Where can we find (in config files etc) that it has to be started from node1 only?
    b/ What needs to be done to ensure that Informatica will come up correctly when the network interface pointing to VIP that is used by informatica is brought up from node2?

  • User rights in Informatica and DAC repositories

    Hello,
    Installation doc is not too clear about the Informatica and DAC repository user rights.
    It just mentions the SSE_ROLE for the OBAW and a couple of things for DAC rep user in step 4.4.1.1
    Could anyone, pls. share the user rights used for those rep users ?
    Txs. for any help.
    Antonio

    Hi Antonio
    I have logged an SR with Oracle regarding the user permissions for an EBS system as most people will not want to use the APPS schema. You may see my post above asking what schema people are using.
    We are used to just using the APPS schema on the EBS systems, however, some clients will not allow access to this user and so you are required to have a read-only user that has specific grants to execute certain packages.
    The Bill of Materials specifically requires a stage table in EBS: http://download.oracle.com/docs/cd/E14847_01/bia.796/e14844/anyimp_enterprisesales.htm#CJADFFEF
    I have decided for now to create an EBS schema that is read-only with:
    GRANT SELECT ANY TABLE TO <EBSUSER>;
    GRANT EXECUTE ANY PROCEDURE TO <EBSUSER>;

  • How To Install Informatica and DAC Client on windows

    Dear Friends,
    I had installed Oracle Informatica 8.6.1 and Oracle DAC Server (10.1.3.4.1) on Linux server (RHEl 32 bit)
    Now i want to install Informatica and DAC Clients on windows machine.
    Where to download the software and in the existing Dump i don't find any install.bat file / client folder as mentioned in some sites.
    Please help
    Regards,
    DB

    Hi,
    When you have downloaded the informatica software you will get 2 zip files (V20952-01_1of2.zip,V20952-01_2of2.zip). When you Unzip these two files you will find pc861_client_win32_x86.zip file.
    Unzip this pc861_client_win32_x86.zip file and browse to this location pc861_client_win32_x86\Client\Disk1\InstData\VM, here you will find install.exe an executable file.This will install informatica client.
    For installing DAC browse to this location DAC 10.1.3.4.1\dac\Disk1\install\win32 and there you will find setup.exe executable file. This will install DAC.
    If you need further information plz do post it......

  • Latest Version of OFA supporting Informatica and DAC

    Dear All,
    I was trying to find the latest version of OBI Financial Analytics Applications.
    and i came across this link.
    http://www.oracle.com/technetwork/middleware/bi-foundation/documentation/bi-apps-098545.html
    after going thru various documents here what i understood is that in the latest release of OBI i.e. 'Oracle Business Intelligence Applications 11g Release 1 (11.1.1.7)' Oracle is no more supporting Informatica and DAC configuration but it's replaced by ODI and ODI studio.
    Oracle is supporting informatica in N-1 version which is 'Oracle Business Intelligence Applications Version 7.9.6.4'.
    I understand if we go with latest version there may not be much help available for installation, configurations and may be known and unknown bugs.
    Request experts if you could please confirm this? and what will be the best decision to go with 7.9.6.4 or 11.1.1.7 version??
    thanks

    ODI is not yet supported for any of the BI Applications.
    The target is CY 2008 for one of the Analytic Apps to be able to use ODI.
    We will continue to support Informatica going forward and recently renewed an agreement with them.
    To your other questions:
    1. No, INFA 8 is not yet supported but probably this CY.
    2. There are some documents that cover migrating and DAC Repository, etc. Yes this process needs to be improved but it is almost impossible to capture mechanisms that could compensate for every possible choice a customer could make.

  • Creating a replica of Informatica and DAC..

    Hi Experts,
    We just have one environment containing DAC and Informatica. ( call it prod)
    Now we are planning to create a DEV environment containing exactly the same DAC and Informatica metadata.
    I think having the DAC repository and Informatica repository to the new environment would do the trick.
    Can anyone guide me as to how to create  exactly  the same replica of the running DAC and informatica environment?
    Thanks
    Ashish

    Hi Ashish,
    In addition to Naga's post:
    If you need start your ETL processes on DEV enviroment as Incremental, you need to clone Prod DWH.
    If your DWH, DAC, Informatica are on the same instance,you can clone whole instance and then replace DAC and Informatica Metadata by Importing repository wizards.
    Remember that you need set correct relational connections in Informatica and several changes on DAC Setup (as Informatica Servers , Physical Data Sources,...)
    The very important point is the chronological snapshots of OLTP,  DAC Metadata, Informatica Metadata and DWH.
    1 -  DWH, 2 - Informatica, 3 - DAC  , 4 - OLTP  (for example DWH 1-JAN, Informatica 2-JAN, DAC- 3-JAN, OLTP - 4-JAN).
    The reasons is correct corresponding between source,  sequences on Informatica Maps and  ROW_WID  fields of DWH tables.
    Best Regards,
    Ark

  • Informatica and DAC questions

    I understand that ODI is the tool of choice for the Analytics apps, but Informatica was still supported. Informatica is our standard integration tool, so we would like to upgrade ahead of Informatica version retirement.
    1) Is Informatica 8.x supported for the Analytics apps? If so, which sub version?
    There is a Enhancement request in Metalink that says support will appear in the Tenerife release, but I have been unable to find confirmation.
    2) Does anyone have good migration strategies/methodologies for break-fix that invovle DAC changes. Wholesale DAC repository migration is ham-handed at best and recoding DAC elements after a move to a QA or Production is simply wrong.

    ODI is not yet supported for any of the BI Applications.
    The target is CY 2008 for one of the Analytic Apps to be able to use ODI.
    We will continue to support Informatica going forward and recently renewed an agreement with them.
    To your other questions:
    1. No, INFA 8 is not yet supported but probably this CY.

  • OBIEE 11g, Informatica and DAC: Migrating from Oracle DB to SQL Server?

    Hi Gurus,
    Currently we are implementing OBIEE 11g with Oracle BI Application for EBS (Supply Chain, Procurement & Finance modules). We have incorporated all OUT-OF-THE-BOX mappings and configurations in DAC, Informatica and RPD (no change, only OOTB). We were using Oracle DB and Linux servers.
    Now the client wants to migrate this to one Windows box.
    Can anyone point out, what are the changes need to done to migrate to SQL Server database. Any existing documentation or link will be helpful.
    Edited by: Sudipta Gupta on Aug 2, 2012 1:59 PM

    If you are using SQL Server 2008 then you need to edit the DAC config.bat file replace sqljdbc.jar with sqljdbc4.jar.
    Rest of DAC and Informatica configuration is almost similar.
    Let us if you come across any issues.
    Hope this helps

  • Cloned Dac, Informatica and OBIEE want to change the ip and hostname

    Hi Gurus,
    I recently cloned my OBIEE env on virtual machines on OEL ( Linux)
    I want to change the hostname and ip address to make the services up with new IP and hostname.
    I started the Database(11gR2) single instnace successfully. Please let me know what all changes need to be done to start the dac(10.1.3.4), informatica(9.0.1 Hotfix 2) server and also OBIEE(11.1.1.7.1)
    I did run ./startServerprompt.sh for DAC but still the service cannot be started.
    Thanks in advance.
    Regards

    Hi kt1,
    Informatica and DAC is also on Linux servers. As a first step I'm trying to start the services on  DAC and Informatica servers but still no luck.
    When I'm Trying to start it gives me the following error in the log
    For Informatica:
    Domain service init method is called
    java.net.UnlnownHostException: santa.pti.local (which is the  wrong hostname)
    it should be picking up the new hostname panta.pti.local
    but I don't know where exactly is this information stored and how to get over it.
    The same case is with DAC server when I try to start it it's picking up the wrong hostname
    Anybody who can help me get through this. I have go ogled  it but so far I couldn't solve it.
    Appreciate if anyone could help me solve this.

  • ETL and DAC clustering for high availaibility in OBIAPPS installed in AIX

    Hello Gurus
    Could you let me know how to configure teh clustering and failover for Informatica and DAC for obiapps 7963 installed in AIX 6.1 . We have license for HACMP cluster.
    Any guide to help me out. I coudn't find it in obiapps deplyment guide.

    Unlike BI the Informatica and DAC services are based on database. Assuming your database is up and running all the time can you tell me the scenario(s) to bring down these Informatica and DAC services?
    If my assumptions are correct you wont have any?
    I would suggest to make sure your database is up and running all the time so that Informatica and DAC are up and running.
    More over you have to fix manually for any load issues and you wont get benefit from cluster.
    Just in case you are going with Cluster then you need to take care of DAC refresh dates.. do you have any plan for the same?
    Appreciate if you share about how you end up with this.
    If I'm wring correct me, infact I too was waiting for responses for this post :)

  • DAC ETL Load Failed

    Hi,
    I have followed the:
    Oracle® Business Intelligence Applications
    Installation Guide for Informatica PowerCenter Users
    Release 7.9.6.3
    E19038-01
    Documentation to install OBIA.
    I ran the Sample DAC ETL Load for EBS Financials - Receivables and after it completed 225 out of the 296 tasks it started to fail. I have 70 Failed tasks. I am trying to find out how to debug this. Do you guys know where the log files are stored at.
    The Status Description says "Failure detected. Please check log file."
    What is the best way to approach this for debugging?
    Thanks.

    Get the workflow name using DAC Task and look for the log file from location
    <Install Dir>Informatica<version>\server\infa_shared\SessLogs
    If it is helpful, please mark as correct or helpful. Thanks

  • ERROR at DAC Execution Step

    Hello all,
    I am running HR-R11.5.10 - FLexfield Execution Plan. When I run this execution plan, I get this error
    Connected to Integration Service: [EDW_INT].
    Starting workflow [SDE_ORA_Flx_EBSSegDataTmpLoad]

    Disconnecting from Integration ServiceNote:
    1. I use 64 bit Oracle database but I use 32 bit client
    2. my LD_LIBRARY_PATH is properly set to clients library
    3. My Informatica Services and Dac services are installed in RHEL5 64 bit but clients in Windows 2003.
    4. The admin console points to LkpFiles and SrcFiles available in RHEL machine (where all servers are present)
    if you notice above, the error points to my Windows machine.... What could be the reason for this? Thank you very much in advance

    I got the solution to this problem.
    We have to make sure that DAC Console at Client is properly pointing to Parameter Files
    i.e. go to DAC Console > Setup > Dac system properties > "InformaticaParameterFileLocation"
    the it should be pointing to /Informatica/server/infa_shared/SrcFiles
    Do not forget the restart the DAC server.

  • Role of Informatica and Cognos in SAP

    Dear Experts,
    I would like to know what is the role of Informatica and Cognos in SAP as a 3rd party interfacing tool ?
    What is BAPI ?

    Edited by: Mohan Kumar on Jul 9, 2008 6:51 AM

    Dear All,
    I have answer for this query which is answered on other threads.
    The role of informatica and cognos in the SAP is as same as like other ETL tools
    and BAPI is nothing but Business Application Programming Interface which acts as a
    interface between non sap source systems and sap OLAP warehouse .
