Installing ODI agent

Hi,
I have installed complete ODI 10.1.3.6 on a server "A". I am now trying to install just the ODI agent on server "B" and use the server "A" repositories. This is for using Hyperion ERPi which requires at least ODI agent to be installed on the machine where ERPi is installed.
I installed the agent on server B. But dont see ODIParams.bat file and I am not sure how to get the agent running.
Regards,
Ragav.

odiparams.bat file will be in a a path similat to "\oracle\product\11.1.1\Oracle_ODI_1\oracledi\agent\bin". Note that bin directory is under agent directory.

QUESTION: Essbase data extraction and Installing ODI Agent??

For extracting data from Essbase cubes, ODI has "LKM Hyperion Essbase DATA to SQL".
We can use (1). ReportScript, or (2). MDX-query, or (3). CalcScript
For data-extraction using CalcScript, ODI Agent must be running on the same server as the Essbase server.
Does anyone know if there is a need for ODI Agent on the Essbase machine if we use MDX-query method for data-extraction?
We would like to avoid installing ODI Agent for Essbase data-extraction.
.

Thanks John.
One related question. To move data from one Essbase cube to another Essbase cube using ODI Interface, Can we do it efficiently through MDX-query?
We want to avoid Replicated-partitioning OR CalcScripts, if possible.
BTW... Your ODI/Hyperion blog is a bible for us.

ODI Agents and EPM

Hello!
I use EPM 11.1.2.1.0, ODI 11g, Solaris SPARC
The situation is as follows:
On a single server X is installed Hyperion Essbase, on another server (Y) - the application server (Hyperion Planning, Shared Services, etc.), the third (Z) - ODI
In Oracle Data Integrator creates the following packages:
1) Load the actual values from the Oracle DWH to Hyperion Essbase and execution of business rules using the Hyperion Planning console utility - CalcMgrCmdLineLauncher.sh
2) Extract planning values from the Hyperion Essbase to Oracle DWH, using KM - LKM Hyperion Essbase Data to SQL, which is specified EXTRACTION_QUERY_FILE - report script Essbase.
My question is, do I need to install ODI agents on both servers: X and Y. On Y must be exactly as it is called a command line utility, located on the hyperion planning server. Be sure to install the agent on the server X, where Essbase. (called report script)
If I need the agents on both servers, I can somehow relate them so as not to break the existing chain of steps in the ODI package?

If it is the report script extract then it should still work even if there is no agent on the essbase server.
An agent will be required on the running the calc manager utility though.
Even if you did multiple agents you can generate a scenario for each step and call the scenarios from a package.
Cheers

Questions about ODI Agent

Being new to ODI, I have some simple questions.
ODI server is installed on Windows-2008 machine. Its repository is on MS-SQL-Server database which is also on a Windows-2008 machine.
A non-ODI process is creating files on a Unix server, which needs to be picked up by ODI and loaded into a MS-SQL-Server table.
*(Q 1):* Do we need to install ODI Agent on Unix, so that ODI can "see" the unix files? OR is there another simpler way??
*(Q 2):* Is there an Oracle link about installing ODI11g Agent on Unix? I only see documents talking about installing ODI Agent on Windows.
*(Q 3):* What minimum ODI components need to be installed on Unix, so that ODI Agent runs on Unix?

You need to install ODI agent on Unix or go for accessing UNIX file from WINDOWS application eg Samba
*(Q 2):* Is there an Oracle link about installing ODI11g Agent on Unix? I only see documents talking about installing ODI Agent on Windows.
The Agent installation process is basically same
*(Q 3):* What minimum ODI components need to be installed on Unix, so that ODI Agent runs on Unix?Go for AGENT only installation

Managing ODI Agent through OPMN - Install Issue

Hi
I am attempting to set up my ODI agent so that I can manage it through my OPMN service but I keep getting an error "java is not recognised as an internal or external command, operable program or batch file" when I run the command "odi_opmn_addagent.bat agentcreate.properties".
I have installed EPM 11.1.2.2 and my essbase service is currently managed through the OPMN.
I have updated the odiparams, agentcreate.properties and odi_opmn_addagent.
In the agentcreate file I set my JAVA_HOME to E:\Oracle\Middleware\jdk160_29
Any ideas what could be wrong?
Thanks
M

Copy your jdk path as given below. Change it if you have different.
C:\Program Files\Java\jdk1.6.0_33\bin
Right click on my computer->go to properties->advanced system setting->environmental variable->system variables
Scroll down. you will get a variable names as "Path"
Double click on it. then single click on variable value. Then press home key in your keybord. (better take backup of it)
now pest above code that is C:\Program Files\Java\jdk1.6.0_33\bin;
Give a semicolon at the end as i have given. Click ok,ok,ok
Now go to cmd and type javac. let me now the output.

Need to install ODI studio and ODI sdk(Developer Installation)

HelloHi every one,
Can any one suggest me in brief, how to install them, and also what are the things that I need to do before installing them, And where do I get them.
can you give me the brief guidance.
configuration:- Windows XP service pack 3 processor:-i7 , RAM-3.22GB.
Thanks,
Karthik

The pre-requsites for installing ODI is
1) supportable RDBMS 2) JDK (preferably version less than 7) you can search for ODI support matrix to get the exact supportable versions.
for downloading them goto https://edelivery.oracle.com/ (you can use the same oracle acct that you have for this discussion forum)
ODI installations are of two types:
1) Standalone installation (check boxes : ODI Studio, SDK, Standalone Agent while installation) (you can refer to any of the ODI blogs which will have a step by step process of installing ODI)
2) Java EE installation (integration with Oracle Web-logic server/[IBM websphere as well if ODI 11.1.17]) this requires a webserver to be installed before installing ODI.
Thanks,
Parasuram

Do we need a ODI agent to be running for using the startscen command

Do we need a ODI full installation(both server and client) for using the Startscen command or just the client install should be enough. And also do we need a ODI agent to be configured and running for using this StartScen command
Thanks

ODI client is an agent.
So you don't need to declare one more if not needed on your infrastructure.
But to run odistartscen you need to configure the odiparams.bat with your repository connexion.
If not it will try to connect by default to the demo repostory on HSQL.
best regards,
Brice

Where to Install ODI for ERPI

I have the following on 11.1.2:
Box1: Foundation, Planning
Box2: ERPI
I want to load data from the GL into Planning using ERPI. My question is where do I install ODI ? On Box3, the ERPI box? or Box 1, the Planning box?
Also can I use an ODI Server which has been setup on another box?

As long as the essbase client is installed on the server here you are trying to access Essbase from then that is all that is required. Regardless of where the main ODI install is located you could always have an ODI agent installed on the Essbase server and just make sure that all ODI jobs/scenarios interacting directly with Essbase execute via that agent.

Hi
Make sure that JDK 1.6.0_21 or higher version insatlled in your PC.
Have you installed RCU 11g before ODI 11g installation.
If not, please installed it and later start the ODI 11g installation.
Open odiparams.bat/sh file.
encode the master repository password using enocde.cmd/sh and paste the same encoded password on odiparams.bat/sh file
check MASTER DB Crredentials/Master repository login credentials/ work repository details are properly setuped or not.
check JDBC URL
check ODI_JAVA_HOME path seted in your PC
ODI_JAVA_HOME=d:\Oracle\Middleware\jdk160_21 in case weblogic installed before ODI 11g other wise
ODI_JAVA_HOME=c:\Program files\Java\jdk1.6.0_21\bin at Windows (setup it on environment variable) at linux export the ODI_JAVA_HOME path using "export" command
run the ODI agent and check whether it is running or not.
Hope this may helps you.
Thanks,
Phani

ERPI 11.1.2.4 and odi agent java ee

HI, I have installed EPM system 11.1.2.4 now i want to set odi agent. In previous version i have to install odi and create agents but in this version i got a preinstalled ODI and precreated ODI agent. I have few queries related to odi agents:
1 - if i want to use standalone agent i have to install another ODI and there i can created standalone agent? correct?
2 - can i create standalone odi agent in already installed ODI by FDMEE?
3 - When i start my EPM services, does my odi agent starts automatically or i have to start odi agent manually?
Regards

Hi JanGLi,
1) Yes, if you want standalone agent you need to install ODI studio in that you will get the option for standalone agent.
2) Yes, you can create standalone agent in already installed ODI by FDMEE and FDMEE has given you the J2EE agent in there configuration.
3) If the agent is J2EE then it has come by FDMEE so while starting the services for EPM for FDMEE the agent also starts(It depends how you have stated the properties of the services in the services.msc if it is automatically then while booting itself it will start else need to start manually.)
AND
If the agent is standalone you need to start manually bye going to that path(If you have configured the standalone agent).
Thanks,
Pratik

Running Multiple ODI Agents On The Same Server

Is it possible to run multiple ODI Scheduler Agents simultaneously on the same Server?
As we provide Work repository name in ODI params file and if we have different work repository
and we want to run schedular agent on same server how can we point to the other work repository.
Do we need to create another installation of ODI agent files on same server?
Thanks
Kashi

Hey Kashi,
You do not have to instal a separate Agent files again. All you need to do is to make sure that each set of agent has all the required parameter files which inclues, odiparams.bat , agentstart.bat and agentstop.bat(names may not be exactly same). Here is a website that gives you more details regarding creating multiple agents on same server

Error Adding ODI Agent to OPM-NModule libopmncustom: initialization failed

Hi All
I am getting an error when I try to add, remove or start and ODI Agent in OPMN. The Error is as follows:
E:\Oracle\products\11.1.1\Oracle_ODI_1\oracledi\agent\bin>odi_opmn_addagent.bat
agentcreate.properties
Module libopmncustom: initialization failed (proc set odiagent)
Module libopmncustom initialization failed: disabled
opmnctl reload: reconfiguring opmn...
opmn status shows that the agent has been added but it is down and when I try to start it I get the following error:
E:\Opmn1\Oracle_WT1\instances\instance2\bin>opmnctl startproc ias-component=ERPI
DEVAGENT
opmnctl startproc: starting opmn managed processes...
================================================================================
opmn id=servername:6701
no processes or applications matched this request
Response: not enabled: libopmncustom
I can start and successfully test the agent using the agent_DEVAGENT.bat file but the problem seems to be adding it to OPMN.
-This issues seems to be that the OPMN module libopmncustom failed to initialize properly and hence has been disabled. I cannot see how I can enable it and test again.
I have tried the following to resolve the issue
1. Removed the agent and restarted it
2. Restarted the OPMN service
3. Restarted the server
4. Reinstalled ODI as well as the Stand Alone Agent
5. Uninstalled OPMN and installed it to a different location
Has anyone come across this and could you please give me a few pointers of what I can look at. The configs that I have are as follows
ODI Version : 11.1.5.0_generic_110422.1001
OPMN Version : 11.1.1.3

Solved the problem by dropping and recreating the user schema and all its objects, reinstalling and configuring both ODI and OPMN.

Did you try a different port number.
8080 is commonly used as an alternative to the HTTP port 80
Also, do you have a 64 bit linux ? If thats the case, then you have to install ODI using 32 bit version of Java on 64 bit linux

RAC setup- Configure hostname in ODI agent

I have my Master & Work repositories hosted on a Oracle RAC environment. I have a standalone ODI agent which might installed in the same physical server or in a different server.
In a RAC setup, there are multiple hostnames for the same database. How do I make the ODI agent aware that it should look into a 2nd server (when the 1st host is down) when trying to connect to the repository ? I want to know where this should be configured in the agent setup.
Does this get automatically taken care of once I include both the hostnames in the JDBC URL of the repositories ?

All depends on the JDBC you're using...
JDBC Thin work with the Oracle listener,
and JDBC OCI (which need an Oracle Client on the machine) works with a TNS description (here you can define several HOST).
I had have several issues with the Thin on our RAC so we've changed for an OCI one...

Brice

Create ODI Agent

Hello,
I am trying to create a new ODI agent and I can't find any simple set of steps to follow. Should I set up the physical and logical agents first? If I want it to be a scheduler agernt running as a windows service is there a different set of steps? I seem to have a collection of notes and documentation that give me bits and pieces of information but no concrete steps to follow. I know the odiparams.bat file needs to be updated as well. Any help would be greatly appreciated!
Thanks!

Which version of ODI are you trying to set up and whis OS are you trying to install?
