Informatica Workflow hung/waits.

We have Informatica version 8.6.0 HF4 and OBIA 7.9.6. We are facing a weird issue with Informatica workflows hanging/waiting in recent months.
Informatica session completes quick, but workflow takes long time to recognize last session finished. So it waits for long time to finish workflow. Sometimes the time difference between last session completion and workflow completion time can be in hours. Not sure, what is causing workflow to wait.. I know for sure there is no lock on target database.
Also this behavior is random. It happens on intermittently on different workflows at different timings. There is no specific pattern to narrow down to root cause.
Did any of you face this issue in your environment? Appreciate your time for response.
Thanks,
Ash

Hi,
Let me tell you the real story:
Our server architecture consists of two servers:
Windows Server 2008 R2 (64-bit) platform with the following installed:
- SQL Server 2008
- DAC 10.1.3.4.1
- OBIEE 11g
- BI Apps (Financial Analytics) 7.9.6.3
- Informatica Server 9.1.0 HotFix 2
Windows Server 2003 Enterprise Edition SP2 (32-bit) platform with the following installed:
- Informatica Clients (i.e. Workflow Manager, Repository Manager, Designer and Workflow Monitor)
And thus the ODBC Relational Connection is configured in Informatica Client machine (Workflow Manager) which is a 32-bit platform.
Any idea?

DAC as schedular tool for Informatica workflows(Not for OBIApps repository)

I have to use DAC as administrative / scheduler tool for Informatica workflows. Earlier, I configured the same for OBI Apps. It's running fine. Now I am not refering to Oracle_BI_DW_Base.rep which is the inbuilt repository provided with OBI Apps. I have to run my workflows through DAC. I have gone through the below listed steps to achieve the same,
1) Created New USER
2) Used that user to configure DAC connection as well as for DAC repository tables. (am not sure whether it is a best practice or not)
3) Created a new Source System Container. (no containers were there initially)
4) I have folder in Informatica as "MyRep", so I created task logical and physical folders with the same name in DAC (Tools => Seed Data =>........)
5) Created new Subject Area, tables, tasks, performed Synchronize Tasks.
5) Set up informatica servers, Physical Data Sources. Tested them, no flaws.
6) Added new Execution Plan.
7) Assigned Subject Area to it.
8) Clicked on "generate" button in parameters section of execution plan. No Parameters generated. Now got into confusion.
*9) I couldn't find my tasks listed in ORDERED TASKS tab.*
10) Clicked on BUILD. Then got error message as below,
MESSAGE:::No tasks were found to build this execution plan.
Please do let me know what is the wrong step here.
Thanks,

Thanks Ahsan, it solved my problem.
I forgot to set Configuration Tags properly, later Assembled the subject area. Cheeeeeeerrrrrrsss... It's working

Informatica Workflow not able to connect to source database.

Hi,
I have completed the installation of OBI Apps.All the test connections are working fine and I have also configured the Relational Connection in Informatica Workflow.The passwords,username and connect string are correct.Still when I run a ETL all the tasks that need to connect to source database fail.I checked the session logs of those workflow and it gave me following error:
READER_1_1_1> DBG_21438 Reader: Source is [UPG11i], user [obiee]
READER_1_1_1> CMN_1761 Timestamp Event: [Fri Sep 05 18:01:37 2008]

Database Error: Failed to connect to database using user [obiee] and connection string [UPG11i].]
From DAC I am able to connect to the databases.There seems to be some problem in the relational connections.What are the drivers involved and where should they be installed.
Please help.
Thanks and regards,
Soumya.

Hi,
I think you need to check you connections in the Work flow manager. So, i'd suggest you to follow this below section again. Your error clearly shows that there is problem with the connections.
"4.13 Configuring Relational Connections In Informatica Workflow Manager" in Installation & Configuration guide.
Post back here, if you find any problems.

How do full and incremental Informatica workflow differ?

Hi:
I've read that a custom Informatica workflow should have full and incremental versions. I've compared the incremental and full versions of several seeded OBIA workflows, but I cannot find how they differ. For example, when I look at the session objects for each workflow they both have a source filter that limits a date field by LAST_EXTRACT_DATE.
Can someone shed some light on this?
Thanks.

To answer your question, they differ in various ways for various mappings. For most FACT tables which hold high volume transactional data, there may be a SQL override in the FULL session that uses INITIALEXTRACT_DATE and a different override in the INCREMENTAL (does not have Full Suffix) that uses LASTEXTRACT_DATE. For dimension tables, its not always required that you have a different logic for FULL versus incremental.
Also, all FULL sessions (even if they have the same SQL) will have a BULK option turned on in the Session properties that allow a faster load since the table is usually truncated on FULL versus Incremental. As a best practice, for FACTS, it is best to have a FULL versus INCREMENTAL session. For Dimensions, depending on the volume of transactions or the change capture date field available, you may or may not have different logic. If you do a FULL load, however, it is better to use BULK to speed up the load.
if this is helpful, please mark as correct or helpful.

Informatica Workflow Manager ODBC Relational Connection for ETL in DAC

In Informatica Workflow Manager, I have created a Relational Connection of type ODBC and specified Connect String as "DSN=BIEEDW" where "BIEEDW" is the System ODBC DSN already set pointing to a SQL Server 2008 database.
However, when the ETL run in DAC, the following error occurs in Session log files showing that the database and driver cannot be located:

Duplicate thread.

Informatica Workflow "Succeeded" even correspsonding session Failed.

We have installed following,
obiee 10.3.1.4,
DAC 10.3.1.4,
BIApps 7.9.6,
Informatica 8.6
we are trying to run HRMS full load from DAC. But in Informatica workflow monitor "SDE_ORA_PayrollFact_Full" session FAILED but corresponding Workflow "SDE_ORA_PayrollFact_Full" status shows as "Succeeded". Since Informatica Workflow was Succeeded,DAC marks that job as Succeeded.
So question is why Informatica shows Work-flow as "Succeeded" even corresponding session status is in failed status?
Thanks,
slokam

Frustrating isn't it?
Open Workflow Designer and locate the workflow SDE_ORA_PayrollFact_Full. Go to Tools and select Workflow Desinger. Drag the SDE_ORA_PayrollFact_Full worfklow into the work area. Double click the session that is failing and ensure the following checkboxes are clicked: (1) Fail parent if this task fails, (2) Fail parent if this task does not run.
Hope this helps.

Informatica workflow architecture - question

One of my MANAGER recently discussed with me regarding a process improvement for migrating only the required session not the entire workflow. For example, if a workflow has 50 sessions. He is suggesting to convert all session tasks into a child workflows; i.e if a workflow has 10 sessions there will be one parent workflow to trigger the 10 child workflows. In this way, he said that if there any changes for one session we can make only in one workflow and move that changes.
I am not convinced with this, please provide your suggestions.

The drive in which I installed informatica ran out of disc space. So I found this in the error log SF_34125 Error in writing storage file [C:\Informatica\9.0.1\server\infa_shared\Storage\pmservice_Domain_ssintr01_INT_SSINTR01_1314615470_0.dat]. System returns error code [errno = 28], error message [No space left on device]. Then I tried to shut down the integration service and then freeup some space on the disc. I got the following message in the log file LM_36047 Waiting for all running workflows to complete.SF_34014 Service [INT_SSINTR01] on node [node01_ssintr01] shut down.

Informatica - Workflow Logs: How to remove INFO "VAR_27014 [Warning!...

Hi, this is my first post here, so plz excuse any mistakes :)
I'm using Informatica PowerCenter 7.1.4. Every time there is a new workflow log created, for each session, there is set of parameters logged with the name and value pairs.
INFO : TM_6292 : (372964|1) Session task instance [S_SESSION]: VAR_27021 [Parameter file [ConfigFiles/properties.pmf] opened for session [S_SESSION].].
INFO : TM_6292 : (372964|1) Session task instance [S_SESSION]: VAR_27014 [Warning! Found an unused name and value pair [DBConnectionStringStage = /@] in parameter file[ConfigFiles/properties.pmf].].
Is there any option, to switch this logging level off? Or only those kind of messages (VAR_27014)?
Sometimes the values includes some passwords, and our admins have problems with this.
I've tried changing the parameter ErrorSeverityLevel=Error in a pmserver.cfg, but it doesn't affect above INFO messages. I've also changed the same parameter for the repository server - still nothing.
Hope you could give me any solution or a workaround.
Thanks,

Workflow in Waiting status..

Hi Friends,
I am executing a workflow from an reprot using function module.
but when i have checked the log then i found that the header workitem (workflow) is in waiting state.
what can be the reasons behind it...
Thanks Dev

Is it Dialog workitem or check if it missing any mandatory parameters.
Are you using SAP_WAPI_EXECUTE_WORKITEM or SAP_WAPI_DECISION_COMPLETE ?
Sometimes, Workflow behaves weird where you can try synchronizing the buffer (SWU_OBUF) and check the status.

DAC task shows as Running when in fact Informatica workflow is completed

Good day,
My environment:
Dac Build AN 10.1.3.4.1.20090415.0146 , Windows 2003 Server Release 2
Informatica 8.1.1. SP5 0129 135 (R117 D86) , Windows 2003 Server Release 2
I am having two separate issues with a DAC execution plan.
1. During the runtime of DAC execution plan some SDE mapping which were completed in Informatica still being displayed with status ‘Running’ in DAC. As a result not all SIL mapping get executed. I am able to unit test this mapping (both SDE and SIL), so the problem is not with Informatica.
2. Even though the execution plan was generated with an option for both FULL and Incremental tasks each time I submit the execution plan the FULL mapping gets executed. $$LAST_UPDATE_DATE variable is defined in both Informatica and DAC.
Any help is greatly appreciated.
Thank you,
Maxim

What version of BI Applications are you on? Also, have you applied all the DAC patches? I recall there was a DAC bug and an associated patch related to this. Check this metalink note:
OBIA DAC ETL Execution Plan does not complete even though all steps are complete [ID 848117.1]
If this was helpful, please mark as answered.

Informatica Workflow fails because of TEMP tablespace

Hi,
I am trying to do a Complete Oracle 11.5.10 load. However my execution plan fails because the SDE_ORA_Payroll_Fact fails. The error in the session log is as follows:
READER_1_1_1> RR_4035 SQL Error [
ORA-01652: unable to extend temp segment by 128 in tablespace TEMP
From the error message it is very clear that the Source Qualifier is unable to select the data from the source tables. i have increased the TEMP tablespace too however I keep getting the error. Because of this error my other mappings are also Stopped. Any solutions to this problem?

Why Task failing in DAC shows as completed in Informatica Workflow monitor?

Hi BI Guru's,
I have a task( 'SIL_TimeDimension_MCalDay' and its detail Task is 'Create Index INDEX W_MCAL_DAY_D_P1' )in DAC that shows 'Failed' .
The same task( i.e 'SIL_TimeDimension_MCalDay') shows 'Succeded' in Workflow_monitor.
Any thoughts ?
Regards,
JK

To check the data-integrity:
- Find the target table(s) for the task
- Determine which index is failing
- In the DAC go to the "Design" view tab and click the Indicies tab, query for the index that failed (note whether or not that index is unique, it is a checkbox in the edit sub-tab). Click the columns sub-tab and find the columns the index is attempting to create an index on.
- Write a query that will return the records that are breaking the index:
For example: If I have a table named EMPLOYEE and I'm trying to create a unique index on a FIRST_NAME column and a EMP_NUMBER column I would write the following SQL:
SELECT FIRST_NAME, EMP_NUMBER, COUNT(*) FROM EMPLOYEE GROUP BY FIRST_NAME, EMP_NUMBER HAVING COUNT(*) > 1;
Hope this helps!

1) User will take the usage decision on inspection lot in QA11. When user will take decision and save inspection lot BUS2045 event USAGEDECISIONMADE will be triggered and initiate my workflow here.
2) After workflow initiation system will create notification and send to approver, but here i have wait step in my workflow for BUS2078 - Created (Notification).
wait for Event step
BO: BUS2078
EV: CREATED
I am posting error below:
Error when starting work item 000000294361

Hi,
Based on your description what I felt is you are making use of a wait step in which you have choose to wait till BUS2078 event CREATED is occured ... right.. Now can you please clear me that where and how this event will triggered.
or is it some thign like you are making use of event creator step and in this case, When ever you are making use of the eventcreator step and a BOR object inside it make sure that specific BOR object is already instatitaed in the workflow container , if it is instantiated then only it will try to identify the instance or the BOR and it will try to rasie the event.
