Installed Oracle Warehouse Builder which broke SQL Developer

Version 1.5.4 build MAIN-5940
SQL Developer worked fine. I installed Oracle Warehouse Builder and now SQL Developer cannot make a connection when I click on a connetion in the connectons window. When I look at the properties of the connection they look fine and when I click the "test" button I get a success message. When I click the "connect" button it appears to connect. However, When I click a connection on the navigator window I get this error message
Invalid connection information specified.
Verify the URL format for the speicified driver.
Vendor Code 0
I reinstalled SQL Developer but no help.

Don't know OWB, but I asume it installs some version of client, which could be picked up by sqldev.
If the problem really is that client, here's something that usually does it: trick sqldev by changing your ORACLE_HOME within a batch file inside sqldev's folder. This would force using the supplied thin driver:
set ORACLE_HOME=%CD%
start sqldeveloper.exeHope that helps,
K.

    sqlplus "/ as sysdba" @reset_owbcc_home <DB_ORACLE_HOME>
                   IF OWB has been installed with Oracle11g DB installation.
    Then from design center itself you can configure the workspace.
    Most cases this will resolve your issue.

  • How to cofigure Oracle Warehouse Builder with MS SQL Server to store metadata information?

    I am getting error stating that 'API5022: cannot connect to the specified account. Verify connection information.',  when i try to configure MS SQL Server to repository assistance.
    Thanks in advance.

    Juergen,
    The SQL Server stored procedure implementation is somewhat different from the Oracle one. As you might have noted in Oracle all results (including ResultSets) can only be returned as output parameters from the stored procedure. With SQL Server you can just do a SELECT inside the procedure and you will see a ResultSet in Java (somewhat of an asynchronous call). There are advantages and disadvantages to both approaches.
    One of the SQL Server "disadvantages" is the problem you are experiencing: error messages are also generated as they occur and sent to the client (JDBC driver), which transforms them into SQLExceptions. Another SQL Server disadvantage is the fact that output parameters are only available after the driver has parsed and cached or discarded all results.
    With Oracle, on the other hand, you can only obtain ResultSets from stored procedures through cursors. This has two disadvantages: first there's an overhead on the server side to maintain the cursor snd seconf you need non-standard JDBC code to obtain the ResultSet.
    So the short answer to your question would be that there isn't (as far as I know) any way to avoid the SQLException. However, you can skip it and either get the linked SQLExceptions or call getMoreResults() until you get your custom error message.

  • Oracle Warehouse Builder

    Dear buddies,
    I need to migrate my tables and data from SQL Server 2005 to Oracle 10g.
    My boss's requirement is I must be able to redo it at any point of time. Meaning, I should be able to use the script at any point to recreate the tables and reload them independently without using SQL Server or the existing configurations.
    Does OracleWarehouse Builder provide such scripts after the migration or in the process of migration, which can be reused independently?
    There are about 7 SQL Server databases and each has around 270 tables. Some would be totally new and some would involve merging.
    Please advice me.
    Thanks.

    Hi everyone,
    I tried to Just started like this
    1 - Start - All programs - Oracle Home - Warehouse Builder - Administration - Repository Assitant - Basic Install -
    2 - User Name=rep_user
    password=rep_user

    The remaining disk space for that drive is few gigs and I have created the database with the 16384.

    I have been struggling to perform my migration. I really hope someone would be able to guide me through.
    OS: Windows 2003 Enter Edition
    Oracle 10g
    And I am not able to access anything from SQL Plus after I installed Oracle Warehouse Builder.
    So, is the error I am facing something like to do with a bad installation? Do I need to uninstall my OWB or uninstall my oracle and OWB and reinstall them?
    Please guide me.

  • Licensing about Oracle Warehouse Builder

    Hi,
    If we install trial version of oracle warehouse builder v 9.2 from oracle website, does anybody know whether all the functionalities of oracle warehouse builder are available or are there any restrictions in using the trial version of the oracle warehouse builder.
    My second question is:
    Do we need Oracle 9i database to install oracle warehouse builder.
    After I installed Oracle warehouse builder when I clicked on start-->Programs-->Oracle 9i Developer Suite-->Warehouse builder-->OWB Client, when I open the OWB Client it's asking me for warehouse builder log on but it didn't ask for any username and password while I'm installing oracle warehouse builder. So, which username and password should I enter to log in to the OWB Client. And also can anyone please tell me what to enter into the Oracle Service name field.
    Any help is appreciated.........
    Thanks,
    -Deepa.

    There are no restriction in the warehouse builder version available from the OTN site. If you are using Warehouse Builder for commercial purposes (and if you want support and assistance from Oracle) you should pay for an Oracle Developer Suite license (as many of them as you have developers). currently it is $5000 per user (you also get JDeveloper, client Discoverer, BI beans etc.).
    As for the OWB installation, you did not complete all the steps. After installing the software on your machine, you must install the design repository (this is when you will be asked to enter the user/password for the OWB client) and the runtime repository and schema (where you will deploy your data warehouse). For details, please read the installation and configuration guide (http://download.oracle.com/docs/html/B11000_02/toc.htm).

  • Oracle Warehouse Builder 10g installation issues

    Hi All,
    I have downloaded the OWB 10g, from the site. I have Oracle 10g (Release 2) database server installed on the machine.
    When I start installing Oracle Warehouse Builder 10g, it just does the client installation and I am not able to find out were should I search for the OWB server installation?
    Even I have checked by installing the same but I just have Repository Assistant , Design Center and Repository Browser available on the machine. I could not find the Runtime Assistant & Control Center to work on?
    Can somebody help me out with these issues?
    Thanks in advance.

    Hi...
    There is an explanations..from the FAQ itself :
    How do I download and install Warehouse Builder Client versus Warehouse Builder Server?
    Warehouse Builder is a single install image that contains both Client and Server components, which are installed at the same time as part of the installation process. If the deployment target database is on the same machine as Warehouse Builder Client UI, there is one single installation process. If the deployment target database is on a separate machine, the install process has to be run twice, repeating the exact same install process on the client machine (to run the Warehouse Builder Design client) and the deployment target machine. Normally when installing the repository, either locally or remotely, the OWB software needs to be already present on the machine. However, it is possible to skip or defer the step of installing on the target deployment machine. This is referred to as a “Remote Target Configuration”. More information on this can be found in the Installation Guide, Chapter 2, “Remote Target”.
    hope this helps...

  • ORA-06502 pl/sql in Oracle warehouse builder

    Hi,
    I have a problem with using Name and Address operator in Oracle Warehouse builder. When I mapped a table which has more than 7735 rows to another table.
    I will get the error "ORA-06502: PL/SQL: numeric or value error: character string buffer too small".

    The problem is happening again.
    When it happens, if I quit and I start again Oracle XE, the problem does not happen at first, but happens again after a while (the duration before the error is not always the same). If I increase the number of lines that are printed for the result of a request, I can induce the error; if I decrease the number of lines, the error is not happening.
    Here is one of the request (that request returns about 5000 rows) that cause the error, and the complete error message:

  • Oracle warehouse builder - OWB & Oracle 10g Db on SuSE

    hi folks,
    i have Oracle 10g db on my laptop; and it runs great!
    but since i am trying to gain skills in data warehousing and business inteligence, and after reading about oracle warehouse builder, i decided to install it on my laptop as well.
    but i can not get my head around the docs for installing OWB.
    is the only requirement for OWB to have an OWB_ORACLE_HOME environment variable on linux? how do we start OWB service automatically?
    has anyone installed OWB with oracle on the same pc?
    i would appreciate your comments.
    thanks in advance,
    Nicolas

    Thanks Andreas,
    i have printed and followed the advice on these documents.
    that is how i have got confused about this OWB_ORACLE_HOME.
    i would very much appreciate if could provide me with some brief description of which environment variables are needed for OWB installation.

  • How to run a unix script from oracle warehouse Builder

    Hi,
    can any one share the information about, running the unix script or scripts using oracle warehouse builder.
    Regards,
    Ak

    One way is define a workflow. Inside the workflow you put
    1)an external process that "points to" the shell script and then
    2)put the mapping
    The external process must have the "COMMAND" parameter set to the name of the shell script. If the script has parameters you must put them in the "PARAMETERS LIST" separated by "?" (for example, ?par1?par2).
    The path where OWB executes the external process I think is the ORACLE_HOME of the OWB.
    f you don't use workflow, you can try with this more complex solution. I tried with 9i and OWB 9.2 and it's working well.
    You create an autonomous procedure (within a package or not) :
    CREATE PROCEDURE Extract_Email_List
    DECLARE
    PRAGMA AUTONOMOUS_TRANSACTION;
    And use the sys.shell script that you need your dba/unix admin to install first of all, with a call like that.
    sys.shell('sh ' || txt_dir_name || '/send_email_marketing.sh ' || txt_dir_name || ' ' || email_addr );
    Then you import your procedure into OWB and use it in your mapping with the "pre-mapping" icon (you can set parameters for your proc with constants if you want).
    To implement sys.shell, go to metalink and find "Note:168065.1" - "How to call a UNIX shell script from PL/SQL".
    Once it's done once, it's not so bad. But I would still recommend the workflow approach also..
    I hope this helps.

  • Problem with Starting with Oracle Warehouse Builder 11g Release 1

    Hello,
    I want to do the training modules for owb. I installed Oracle Databes 11g2 and was attempting to load all the demo files from the learning module Starting with Oracle Warehouse Builder 11g Release 1 (http://st-curriculum.oracle.com/obe/db/11g/r1/owb/owb11g_update_getting_started_intro/lesson1/less1_start.htm)
    I get an error during the running of the tcl scripts in omb plus. Everything works until the last files in which an object cannot be found. I get the following error:
    OMB02923: Attribute TIMES_CAL_MONTH_CODE of group SALES of operator SALES_OUT does not exist.
    The only reference i can find to this is in the load_sales.tcl file from the zip-file and i have no idea what is going wrong. As a result 5 mappings are missing in the end result (all LOAD_.. mappings)
    Can anyone assist me with this problem and provide a solution?
    thank you in advance

    Additional information after looking at the tcl files and the data in OWB that was loaded.
    The section where the error occurs connects two parts of a mapping, the OUTGRP1 and the SALES_OUT. THe SALES_OUT is based upon the cube Sales. This cube contains all the data that is being connected except for the 'TIMES_CAL_MONTH_CODE'. I have no idea based upon the code of the creation of the cube where they take the data from. None of the connected attributes is named specifically. The cube also contains the several groups, one of these is time. If you open the details of the group the list of input attributes lists the needed attribute but it is not listed seperatly like all the others that are connected for the mapping. Does anybody have an idea how to solve the problem based on this extra information and the code listed below.
    Code connecting outgrp1 and sales_out:
    OMBALTER MAPPING 'LOAD_SALES' \
    ADD CONNECTION FROM ATTRIBUTE 'AMOUNT' OF GROUP 'OUTGRP1' OF OPERATOR 'AGGREGATOR' \
    TO ATTRIBUTE 'AMOUNT' OF GROUP 'SALES' OF OPERATOR 'SALES_OUT'\

    ADD CONNECTION FROM ATTRIBUTE 'FINISH_MONTH' OF GROUP 'OUTGRP1' OF OPERATOR 'AGGREGATOR' \
    TO ATTRIBUTE 'TIMES_CAL_MONTH_CODE' OF GROUP 'SALES' OF OPERATOR 'SALES_OUT'

    Plzz frdss hope u will reply.
    i am waiting for a gud answer
    Sindhu

    contact your local oracle university or oacle learning centre and get some training on owb. But before you undertake any training you might want to be clear on the specifics such as:
    Operating system.
    Versions of DB and client.
    Is there a specific reasons such as data migration from legacy to owb or development of a new dw environemnt.
    What BI tool are you planning to use eg, Cognos,OBI EE ,Hyperion,BO etc.
    What is typically your source system and how is the data going to be interfaced(frequency , ,data rules etc).
    What is the schema architecture, Star or Snowflake.
    What DW methodology do you want to use, Kimball or Inmon.
    How much data are you going to work with in DW en.
    Is it going to be on RAC.
    Once you get your specifics right and know what you want you can get the best out of the training otherwise it will be a routine exercise of chasing something without knowing what you want to achieve.
    Trust this helps.

    Bonjour "Etudiant from Tunisia",
    I'm not sure what you mean with "please give me the user/password".
    As far as I know there is no online OWB available where you could try out the product (if that is what you mean).
    If you would like to learn more about OWB, read online documentation or for instance the link that is provided in an earlier post in this thread.
    Otherwise simply install OWB and try it yourself. The Installation and Configuration Guide is clear enough even without much experience installing Oracle software, and the OWB User Guide provides some basic insight on working with OWB itself.
    Good luck, Patrick

    Thanks for your reply Igor.
    As posted the OWB 10.1.0 software is running against a 9.2.0.8.0. database, so OWB still uses DBMS_JOB instead of DBMS_SCHEDULER in this database. In addition I already tested scheduling a simple job to run an OS command as suggested in note 365539.1 , and job scheduling is working fine.
    There are no invalid objects in this database.
