Informatica Repository and Target database

I have a scenario in which the repository database is DB1 and target database is DB2. How is that possible? I mean isnt the target database stored in the repository? Is it still alright?

Hi,
Informatica repository tables generally referred as OPB tables and which has all the data related to your mappings and by using these tables informatica will refer the mappings.
Thanks,

One schema for OWB Design repository, runtime repository and target schema

Currently we have contents of OWB Design schema, runtime schema and target schema all combined into one schema of the same database in OWB 9.0.2 as well as OWB3i. We like to move to OWB10g in very near future. Can we keep the same structure for convenience of migration in OWB10g? Is it mandatory that OWB design repository (and components) must be separate from OWB run time repository (and components) and target schema? In other words is it possible and workable to use only one schema to contain OWB design repository, OWB run time repository and target schema in OWB10g environment with repositories to be situated on Oracle v9.2.0.1.0? Also what special considerations should be taken to create the database v9.2.0.1.0 and installation of OWB10g. What are the problems/side-effects to have all in one schema?
Also please let me know how to install Oracle Workflow server to be used along with OWB. Will OWB10g work with repository on Oracle database v9.2.0.1.0?
Your prompt advice will be very well appreciated.
Sankar

The design repo is a metadata repo that stores all the design-time objects and so forth.
It is an architectural decision that you or your team need to decide on. There are many flexible ways to architect an OWB infrastructure.
Also, your repository users will be using the design repository on the the other DB instance to do their design work...potentially less people always hitting the target database all the time.

Issue in OWB mapping - when changing source and target database

Hi,
I need help for resolution of the issue I am facing when moving mapping from development environment to QA.
Here is situation,
We develop ETL using one source, one staging and one target database.
In development we use one control_center for Source to staging and another control center staging to target.
All works fine in development.
Now I have created new runtime repository and imported all OWB projects (with full dependencies, exact replica of development). Now I need to change source and staging and target as different database.
I have created new database location connections and defined/attached DB connectors with stage and target location.
Now issues are
1.     Two Staging mapping are not able to bound with source table (giving different error
a.     One mapping show error for source synonym translation no longer valid when deploying this mapping , but validation comes without any issue)
b.     Other mapping show error for source table/object not bound to repository
2.     All the target mapping show validation successful, but when deploying says “table or view does not exist”. But tables are exists on source stage and target. (also permission are set correctly for target user to read from staging tables).
Not sure how to proceed from here.
I have recreated new repository and re-imported all project/mappings and defined all connection but still same issue.
Thanks in advance,
Vipin

1. Two Staging mapping are not able to bound with source table (giving different error
a. One mapping show error for source synonym translation no longer valid when deploying this mapping , but validation comes without any issue)
b. Other mapping show error for source table/object not bound to repository
The above error were resolved when re-synchronized the table (for few I have to reimport the table) and mapping.
2. All the target mapping show validation successful, but when deploying says “table or view does not exist”. But tables are exists on source stage and target. (also permission are set correctly for target user to read from staging tables).
The above error still pending. My target mapping are not able to deployed/compiled.
For the above I have defined one Staging location to one target target location and target location have connector to staging (not sure if I have to define connector name same as staging location, as I have created DB connector with different name but reference database is same as staging location).
Mapping are assoicated with desired data locatoin and meta data.
control center is also have that data location.
Mapping are configured for the desired location.

Unable to connect to the informatica repository on oracle database 11g

hi all,
i have installed OBI Apps 7.9.6.0 with informatica 8.6.0 and no hotfix.
Now the problem is , when i create a repository service i get the error
" The service did not start due to the following error: *Unable to connect to the repository Oracle_BI_DW_Base on database* . " here Oracle_BI_DW_Base is also the name of my .rep repository that came with OBI APPS installation.
i have oracle database 11g installed and also created respective user for repository of informatica.
what should i do in this case??
plz help

Good Morning.
I had the same problem and I had the same IE 6, the problem was the translation between the IE6 from http and https, to solve it you just need to open your url typing
https:url:port, do no forget to put the s after the http, with this my problem was solved.
best regards.

RPE-01011 target location incompatible / repository and target are same 11g

I got systematically error RPE-01011 signaling my target location is incompatible. My repository and my target are the same instance and i didn't change anything in the settings. The instance is an 11g database. I don't understand what the problem is. All scripts are execting correctly when i install then manually.

I am having the same problem trying to deploy objects created as per Oracle by Example: Oracle Warehouse Builder 11g. The database version is 11g Release 11.1.0.6.0 and all locations have 11.1 version. This is the second time I am running this tutorial, this time I modified the setup scripts to replace 10.2 by 11.1 but after rerunning all previous tutorials I got the same error.

Rman repository and target

Hi,
my RMAN repository is in 10g R2, and target is in 8.1.7.4. I want to know when I backup by RMAN what would be the RMAN version executing the job ? RMAN 8.1.7 or RMAN 10g ? Thanks and regards.

Yo would be using the RMAN executable in the target ORACLE_HOME (ie, RMAN would be 'local' to the database).

One problem with constraints missing in source and target database....

DB Gurus,
In my database I am going to export and import data using datapump but dont specify CONTENT clause.
so when I start working on my application, I came to know there are some constraints are missing. now how to check what are the constraints are missing from Source database and how to create those missing constraints on Target database?
Suggest me if you have any idea.

Create a database link between source and target schema.
Use all_/dba_/_user_constraints to generate the difference using MINUS operator.
something like this:
select owner,constraint_name,constraint_type from dba_constraints@source
MINUS
select owner,constraint_name,constraint_type from dba_constraints

Migrating Informatica Repository and Rolling back the changes.

Hi all,
I am new to Informatica. We are working on Migrating the Informatica repository from DEV to PROD using Repository manager's Copy & Paste method.
Could anyone suggest whether we are using the right method or not. Is there any other efficient way to migrate the Informatica stuff( Mappings/mapplets/workflows & Sessions)
Please let us know the ROLLBACK Techniques also so that we can rollback if something goes wrong.
Thanks in Advance
Anand.

If you are migrating everything for the first time I assume there is no need for "roll back"..you can just export/import the entire repository. However, as the last user pointed out, you can use a deployment group to do subsequent migrations. You can use a combination of Labels/Deployment groups and these can be static or dynamic (based on a query). The informatica guides have good documentation on deployment group. I would avoid the cut/paste method..try to use import/export or deployment groups.

Bonjour,
Pourriez-vous m'indiquez la procédure à suivre pour le cas suivant.La base de données Oracle de réferenciel BO et la base d'Audit, sont actuellement sur un serveur A.Pour diverses raisons elles devront migrer sur un autre serveur B, dont le nom et l'adresse IP sont differents.Pouvez-vous me donner les étapes à effectuer et dans quel ordre.Merci.
Bonne journée,Karine.
Hi,
Could you tell me the process to follow for the following case:The Audit and Repository Oracle databsses are located on the A serveur.For some raisons, the databases have to migrate on a B serveur, wich IP and name different.Could you give me all the steps to do and in the good order ?Thank you.
Have nice day,Karine.

Karine,
You will have to down your BO services. Then on the BO server modify the ODBC connection from pointing from its current target (the BO server presumably), to the new server (hopefully account names and passwords have not changed, but if they have changed, then you'll have to take care of that detail as well). Once the ODBC connection is corrected, then you should be able to bring up the BO services again.

RMAN catalog and Target database

Hi All,
Please clarify my below doubts.
We have one server "server1" with oracle (catalog database) version 10.2.0.1
I have server "server2", and we have four oracle homes with four oracle users.Each oracle home consist of one database. all database are with 10.2.0.3 version.
All these databases registered with the above catalog database.
1 -> Can we register databases with a lower catalog database.
2 -> Now we are upgrading one database to 10.2.0.5 (in server2), in upgrade step we need to action step -: catalog upgrade. If we run this command actually what will be the result?
3 -> We are upgrading only one database in server2. remaining 3 database are in the version 10.2.0.3, upgrade catalog command will upgrade catalog database to 10.2.0.5 version, am I right?
4 -> Here do I need to run upgrade catalog ?
Thanks,
Asim

OWB 10gR1 Repository and 10gR2 Database

Hi,
we have a problem in installing OWB Design Repository 10gR1 on 10gR2 Database. The Repository assistant hangs with message "INS0003 The User should have DBA privileges to complete the installation". I'm connected as SYS....
Regards,
Hakon.

Her is a workaround I get from Oracle, may it works. Till this time I can't test it, try it on your own risk.
Regards
Norbert
>>
Using the 050621 shiphome release of 10gR2 on Linux we have noticed the INTERACTIONEXECUTE stored procedure is defined with definer rights - it should be invoker rights.
Using the stored procedure to create an AW will create the AW in the SYS schema.
The only workaround is to redefine the stored procedure in the SYS schema with invoker rights.
CREATE OR REPLACE function interactionexecute(input CLOB) return varchar2 AUTHID CURRENT_USER
as language java name 'oracle.AWAction.Interaction.Execute(oracle.sql.CLOB)
return java.lang.String';

Unable to connect informatica repository on database

Hi,
i am facing error that unable to connect informatica repository on database
thanks

Hi,
I am facing the same issue while connecting Informatica Repository to the database.
We have installed Informatica 9.0.1 on Linux 64 bit environment and installed Oracle client 11gR2.
Below are some of the detail to analyze the issue in detail:
Informatica Useer : powercenter
Oracle user: oracle
[powercenter@sun2 ~]$ id
uid=500(powercenter) gid=1000(oinstall) groups=501(oracle),1000(oinstall) context=user_u:system_r:unconfined_t
[oracle@sun2 ~]$ id
uid=501(oracle) gid=1000(oinstall) groups=1000(oinstall) context=root:system_r:unconfined_t:SystemLow-SystemHigh
[powercenter@sun2 ~]$ cat .bash_profile
# .bash_profile
# Get the aliases and functions
if [ -f ~/.bashrc ]; then
. ~/.bashrc
fi
# User specific environment and startup programs
ORACLE_HOME=/home/oracle/app/oracle/product/11.2.0/client_1
export ORACLE_HOME
TNS_ADMIN=$ORACLE_HOME/network/admin
export TNS_ADMIN
PATH=$ORACLE_HOME/bin:/opt/bin:$PATH
export PATH
LD_LIBRARY_PATH=$ORACLE_HOME/lib:$LD_LIBRARY_PATH
export LD_LIBRARY_PATH
Tnsping is working fine with the tnsentry given using Informatica user.
[powercenter@sun2 ~]$ echo $TNS_ADMIN
/home/oracle/app/oracle/product/11.2.0/client_1/network/admin
In the Informatica log file we are getting below error message:
Database driver event...error occured loading library [libclntsh.10.1:cannot open shared object file....
I have a confusion here, we have installed Oracle 11g client then why Informatica is looking for 10g library file?
I checked and found there is no file in /usr/local/lib directory.
Any suggestion would be highly appreciated.
Thanks.

Is owb repository should be in target database..??

Hi,
I have 2 databases.. db1,db2
I have owb repository in db1,
No repository in db2 can I use db2 as Targer db in the maps..??
Is it manadatory to have a OWB repository in target database..??
Cheers,
Sivarama

I still have a lot to do before becoming an expert in OWB, but I can assure you that you don't need the OWB repository on either the source or target databases. In the Oracle class that I took, the sample architecture had the OWB repository on a stand alone database (either the source or target).
I think, and this is where I can be wrong, that you may need a dblink between the repository and the target.

Deployment to runtime repository in different database hangs

Hi All
I am facing an issue while deploying to a runtime repository in different database.
I have created a simple mapping,taking data from one schema available in database where OWB is installed, to schema available in different database.I am changing the configuration to the control center available on target database.
source module is associated with control center available on design repository and target module is associated with control center available on runtime repository.
In control center manager,the message displayed at toolbar is "compiling deployment object"..after sometime OWB hangs and nothing happens.
What could be possible reason for that?
Thanks in advance
Avanish

I got the problem with OWB 10.1.0.4.0 and I had to install the path 10.1.0.5.0 for make it works !
