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.

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......
Thanks,

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?

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.
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.

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

What version of Informatica and DAC to download

Hi All,
I am new to Oracle applications so any help would be highly appreciated.
I have OBIEE version 10.1.3.4.1 installed and installed the BI application 7.6.1 on top of it.After that I need to install Informatica power center server and DAC, please highlight if I am missing something.
I read in previous threads that I can get them from e Delivery.
Can you please guide me as to what version should I download for the same.
Secondly, once I install BI application, I get the Application BI repository but not able to figure out the password.
Tried with Administrator and blank but none of them seems to be working.
Warm Regards,
Anurag

Informatica PowerCenter 8.6.1 Hotfix 6
DAC 10.1.3.4.1
The default password for Analytics RPD is 'SADMIN'.
You can find all the above information in Oracle user guides which you can download from Oracle site here,

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

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.
Regards,

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 :)

I have installed the agent 10 or 15 times and one installation has failed, no error appeared during the installation but I am having inconsistent issues with my ethernet card not working here and there. We rebooted and can log into Novell client but the login prompt did not appear for ESM client or the icon was not in the systray. Everything seems to work, besides at times (a couple times today) it terminates his ethernet card/connection. I would re-image his computer but he has several applications and it would take several hours, so I am hoping someone has an idea to fix this issue. So I was trying to figure out why he did not get the prompt to login and why it's not in the systray and it appears to not have completed the install? I checked the add/remove programs, its not listed within their, I also checked the registry and found nothing for endpoint within their, but the files are within c:\program files\novell\zenworks endpoint security.
I have also tried uninstalling it but that fails due to it "not being installed", and it will not reinstall over itself either.
I did notice that stuninstdrv.exe is running in task manager. Any help would be great...

If you are searching the registry, check for the "Senforce" string. It should be at HKLM\Software\Senforce
Try running the install program for the ZSC with the following command line:
setup.exe /V"STUNINSTALL=1"
If you've specified an uninstall password, try this one instead:
setup.exe /V"STUNINSTALL=1 STUIP=password"" (please note the double quote at the end)
Let me know if that helped you.

Home Environment - How to set up Update Retriever (UR) and Thin Installer (TI) in a home environment

Serenityvalley wrote:
You need to go to This Page and download just about everything on it -espeically the System Update Deployment Guide and start reading. It'll take you a few hours to learn what you need to do and implement it if you are familar with editing system registeries and you have some luck and everything goes well.
You do NOT need to edit registry, just use Thin Installer instead of System Update on the clients. And there is no need to wade thru the deployment guide if you are setting this up in a home environment for just one or two clients.
Edit: Note that Thin Installer does not run on Vista SP2 (neither does System Update.)
Here are the few simple things you have to do:
1. Download Update Retriever (UR) and Thin Installer (TI) from here.
2. Install UR on one pc and TI on all clients you want to keep updated. UR installs into the Start -- All Programs -- Thinkvantage folder, TI installs into c:\program files\thininstaller.
3. To initialize Update Retriever:
a) specify the download folder, pick a place all clients can access. Create a new folder, TI will be confused if there is other stuff in it.
b) change the settings to Severity -- Optional (assuming you want to see critical, recommended and optional downloads in the list), License -- Do not display and Status -- Active. After clicking next you enter the machine type, the op system and its language for each client you need to keep updated. Note that unless you change status to active everything will download as "test" and thus not be installed by the Thin Installer.
4. Run the download, about 1 - 1.5GB for the first type, opsys and language combination and an additional 0.5 - 1GB for each additional type depending on amount of overlap. You can be selective what you download but if you are an average home user -- just download all the items for your type/opsys/language combination(s) -- Thin Installer is a stripped down version of System Update and will decide what to install on the individual client. This is a one-time download, next time you run Update Retriever it will just download new drivers.
5. To initialize TI on each client, copy the program from the Program Files directory and paste a shortcut to the desktop. Then rightclick on the shortcut and choose Properties, and in the target field of the shortcut tab after "C:\Program Files\ThinInstaller\ThinInstaller.exe" add the following: -repository your_UR_download_directory.
6. Run the Thin installer on each client, it will perform exactly as System Update did, down to making the same mistakes that System Update did.
7. As the date is getting close when Windows Update will start distributing Vista SP2 you may want to consider using Microsoft's SPBlockerTools preventing SP2 installation for up to 12 months.
8. Debugging Tips
TI ending with message An error occurred while gathering user information is reported when running under Vista SP2 -- TI will not run in SP2.
Getting TI to "see" the database downloaded by UR is the main problem. If TI ends with a message saying corrupt or not found database you probably made a spelling mistake in the directory specified in the -repository parameter. If TI ends with a message saying no applicable packages to install it can mean a number of things:
a) If you are unused to modifying the parameters in a shortcut you may have added -repository to the second field in the shortcut tab instead of the top field labeled Target, the two fields look very similar or you just made a typo in "-repository".
b) Open UR again and first choose Modify settings on the left and double check that the directory there is the same directory you specified in -repository. Then choose Manage repository -- Update view and double check that all packages have status Active. If they don't it's not necessary to download again, just select all and hit the modify button to change status from Test to Active.
c) In C:\Program Files\ThinInstaller\logs there are update logs from TI. Open one using Notepad and in edit menu search for the string
Message: 'Share name' to use:
This will tell you in which directory TI is searching for the updates. If it can't find a -repository parameter it uses an empty default databse
d) If you used System Update regularly up to when it stopped working on April 1 and if you have an older model with not so many new driver updates it may actually happen that there are no new updates for your machine (even though you downloaded a lot.) Go to here and enter all fields except model to see what Lenovo shipped after April 1. (Don't click on driver matrices, staying on the downloads and drivers pages will give you a list in chronological order with the ones after April 1 at the top.) Also be aware that the database UR downloads from is at least 2 weeks behind when the drivers first become available on the web. Right now, the only new download in the database applicable to most notebooks after April 1 is the Access Connections 5.22 driver. To check what release you have installed open Access Connections and go to help.
I just did a clean install of a Vista64 system on my T500 and after installing the first few drivers manually (including drivers for harddisk and ethernet) let Thin Installer install the remaining 36 items for me. The only item left to fix was the known bug in the Ricoh 4 in 1 card driver SU installation. (For a clean install you need to run TI or SU more than once, it doesn't find all drivers the first time.)

Did you change status from test to active in UR before downloading? If not you can change the downloaded items in the manage repository menu.
Assuming the items you did download were not already installed on your client with TI it should work.
