LDAP support in OWB 10g?

Greetings,
My question is the following. Does OWB support ldap as Workflow? Is there any documentation about that?
Kind regards,
Miklos

Theoretically it is possible...
Practically it does not worth the effort.
You must set up LDAP authentication on the OWB repository database. This can be done only with OID (Oracle Internet Directory). Then you must synchronize OID with the existing LDAP server and/or configure OID to proxy authentication requests to that LDAP server. Nothing guarantees though that it would work...

Robert

  • OWB 10G R2 with 9.2 DB....

    At my company the standard for databases is still 9.2. Since this is a large organization, we are a little slow to adopt the latest versions (we are still running OWB 9.2.0.8).
    According to the FAQ, Design repositories for OWB 10g R2 can be setup on a 9.2 DB.
    http://www.oracle.com/technology/products/warehouse/htdocs/owb_10gr2_faq.html#37
    In the FAQ, it also says to look at the Certify page in Metalink to see what databases are supported by OWB 10g R2:
    http://www.oracle.com/technology/products/warehouse/htdocs/owb_10gr2_faq.html#35
    In the Certify page, only 10g R2 DB appears to be certified for OWB 10g R2.
    Is anyone running OWB 10g R2 with 9.2 DB (for both Design and Runtime environments)? Any problems with this setup?
    Since OWB 10g R2 is a new release, could it be certified for 9.2 DB later?
    Since it is not certified for 9.2 DB, will Oracle give support if we run into problems?
    I thought one of the major advantages of OWB was suppose to be compatibility between database versions. I was surprised not to see that 9.2 was not certified.

    Hi,
    You can have OWB 10G R2 on Oracle 9.2.
    We are using OWB 10G R2 on Oracle 9.2.
    I have done instalation on both Windows and Unix environment.
    What you need is patch 9.2.0.6.0

  • OWB 10g -- Can't Create Database Links for Data Source and Target

    We installed OWB 10g server components on a Unix box running Oracle 10g (R2) database. The Designer Repository is in one instance. The Runtime Repository and the Target are in another instance. The OWB client component was installed on Windows XP. We create a data source module and a target module in OWB. The data source is on another Unix box running Oracle 9i (R2) database. We try to create database links for data source module and target module, respective. But when we created and tested the DB links, the DB links were failed.
    For the database link of data source, we got the following error message:
    Testing...
    Failed.
    SQL Exception
    Repository Error:SQL Exception..
    Class Name: CacheMediator.
    Method Name: getDDEntryFromDB.
    Repository Error Message: ORA-12170: TNS:Connect timeout occurred
    For the database link of target , we got the following error message:
    Testing...
    Failed.
    API2215: Cannot create database link. Please contact Oracle Support with the stack trace and the details on how to reproduce it.
    Repository Error:SQL Exception..
    Class Name: oracle.wh.ui.integrator.common.RepositoryUtils.
    Method Name: createDBLink(String, String, String, String).
    Method Name: -1.
    Repository Error Message: java.sql.SQLException: ORA-00933: SQL command not properly ended.
    However, we could connect to the two databases (data source and target) using the OWB’s utility SQL Plus.
    Please help us to solve this problem. Thank you.

    As I said prior the database link creation should work from within the OWB client (also in 10).
    Regarding your issue when deploying, have you registered your target locations in the deployment manager and did you first deployed your target location's connector which points out to your source?
    I myself had some problems with database link creations in the past and I can't remember exactly what they were but it had something to do with
    - the use of abnormal characters in the database link name
    - long domain name used in as names.default_domain in my sqlnet.ora file
    What you can do is check the actual script created when deploying the database link so see if there's something strange and check if executing the created script manually works or not.

  • OWB 10g Help

    Hello,
    I am a newbie. I just installed OWB 10g release 2. What are the default login credential? I have tried all system/manager and stuff???
    Do we need to install the database separately? If so will oracle 8i support it?
    Thanks

    Hi user621787
    Please consult the following links in order to get all the information related to the OWB :
    http://www.oracle.com/technology/products/warehouse/index.html

    On your second question the answer is yes:
    What versions of Oracle database can I use with Warehouse Builder 10g?
    For the target database, users can use Oracle 8.1.7, 9.2 and 10g with Warehouse Builder 10g. As a source, Warehouse Builder 10g supports:
    * 7.3.4 or higher if your target is a 8.1.7 database
    * 8.0 or higher if your target is a 9.2 database
    * 8.1.7.4 or higher if your target is a 10g database

  • OWB 10g R2 with Advanced Queues

    All,
    We are currently using 9.2.0.2.8 and make extensive use of Advance Queues in many of our mappings (we've put a lot of effort in to get this to work "real time"). We are now looking to upgrade from 9.2.0.2.8 to 10.2.0.2 - we've upgraded the mappings ok and the queues are there ok.
    Going forward it looks like AQ has been removed as a source for new mappings in OWB 10g R2. Can anyone shed any light on this - will it be included a future patch or is there a work around?
    I've looked at the OpenWorld presentations and making OWB process data "near real time" seems to be a big new feature.
    Thanks
    Craig

    I raised a Tar on metalink for this issue, here is the reply I got:
    This is what I received from Development:
    The real-time feature was pulled from OWB 10gR2 and this also included the
    AQ import which was in 10.1, I think they must have been
    tightly coupled. The workaround involves coding; the pre-Paris solution
    basically created a temporary table where messages were staged and this
    queue table used for the map; the map had pre/post map triggers for
    initializing/finalizing the queue. To use it effectively it would be best to
    create some scripts that generate the appropriate SQL scripts for the
    supporting map queue table and also the PLSQL procedures representing the
    pre/post map triggers. Similar manual coding is applicable for using CDC
    within OWB for OWB 10gR2.
    These features are planned for a future release.
    Implementation of this work-around is something you can do or Oracle Consulting can do. Support
    cannot assist in developing a solution for this.

  • OWB 10g: how control files are generated?

    We are using OWB 10g within a 10g Database. We want to know how control files are generated by OWB in the file system. The reason we need to know is because our DBAs do not want to create directory objects pointing to NAS devices, their policy states that all directory objects should be on SAN shares. We rather use NAS shares since it simplifies our batch (too long to explain here). OWB has the "CREATE ANY DIRECTORY" privilege granted. Is it using this privilege to create a directory object for the path we specify the control file in the mapping or is it writing directly to this path? We checked the directory objects created (SELECT * FROM DBA_DIRECTORIES) after deploying a control file and it didn't seem to have created any new ones. Anyone knows how OWB creates these control files?

    Yes, indeed that's what we were after. We basically wanted to be sure we are not breaking an internal policy that says that "Oracle directory objects can not be located on NAS shares". The reasoning behind this policy is that NAS shares are not deemed highly available or high I/O devices hence our Oracle DBAs will not allow us to create any Oracle directory objects in NAS shares. The policy states that all database data should be stored in SAN shares which are directly attached to the servers and are therefore high I/O devices. It is arguable if the OWB data we want to load is really part of a database, we believe it is not. There are other implications in our environment about using NAS instead of SAN (NAS can run in active-active mode across different data centres, whereas SAN requires replication since it doesn't usually work well in an active-active mode across different data centres). So based on your answer we should be fine since OWB reads and writes directly to the files without using Oracle Directory Objects which supports our theory that these are not DB specific files and are only "OWB App" files which can then sit on a NAS without breaking the above stated policy.

    There are no real problems with running two clients on the same machine, installed in two different homes.
    But if you have the chance, you might want to migrate the other project to your OWB version and live happily ever after ... :)

  • New licensing for OWB 10g R2 (Paris)

    Hi,
    Does anyone know how much the new licenses (per DB server CPU) for OWB 10g R2 (Paris) cost?
    Is it correct that the features for the modeling of SCD 1 and 2 are not included in the basic "Core ETL Features"?
    If I'm using the the SCD 2 features to develop the OWB mappings do I also need to license the "Enterprise ETL" for the production server?
    Related to the previous question: for the production DB where I only need the runtime part of the repository is it required to license any options?
    Regards
    Maurice
    PS: 2 links related to these questions:
    http://www.rittman.net/archives/2006/05/owb_10g_release_2_now_availabl.html
    http://www.oracle.com/technology/products/warehouse/htdocs/owb_10gr2_faq.htm#HowisOWBPackaged

    Maurice, not sure what to say. If you've been using OWB, then you don't lose any functionality going to the new version, and it will be "free". You simply won't get any of the new functionality (all of the old functionality is included in the "core" features)
    However, as I said in the other post, I hope Oracle reconsiders the SCD 1 / 2 / 3 licensing. To me, SCD type 2 are not "enterprise level" functionality - that is base level functionality for ANY data mart or data warehouse. I have no problems with paying for options the other ETL vendors are charging for (data quality comes to mind...), but if we deploy a large DW on a 32 processor box, paying for the Oracle licenses AND an addition $300,000+ for OWB functionality just to simplify SCD type 2, seems WAY overkill. Actually, in our project, we had pretty much settled on Oracle as the RDBMS for our DW, but if OWB is up in the air, we will probably open this up for an RFQ.

  • Experts VS Process Flows on OWB 10g Release 2 (Paris)

    I was looking at the the new features list for OWB 10g Release 2 (Paris), and I notices the new feature called Experts. Does anyone have any insight into when an Expert would be used instead of a Process Flow? It doesn't look like Process Flows are going away, so I was trying to get a grasp of the use for Experts.
    From Here:
    http://www.oracle.com/technology/products/warehouse/htdocs/owb10gr2%20new%20features.htm
    Experts. Experts are solutions that enable advanced users to design solutions that simplify routine or complex tasks that end users perform in Warehouse Builder. You can design these solutions in the Expert Editor which resembles the Process Flow Editor and shares many of the same commands and navigational tools.

    Hi,
    Just to start with the Experts capabilities, they can be used for designing schema objects.......I tried with an expert for sampling the source files, creating External Tables on top of it....validating and deploying..........itz very interesting to work with.........I am unable to see the practical use of this for end users.....
    where as we all know, the PF can only be for executing the deployed objects.....

  • When will the new OWB 10g release 2 be available?

    HI...
    I would like to know if there is a timetable to
    download in the OTN site about the new version of OWB 10g release 2..
    I saw the the new version of this tool last year in the Oracle Open World and I am very curious to do some test and implement in our production environment.
    We are using OWB 10.1.0.2..

    Good morning Tracy,
    According to Oracle OWB is going to be part of Oracle Business Intelligence... at some stage in the future.
    Right now BI10g consists of the following (check link at http://www.oracle.com/technology/software/index.html):
    Oracle Business Intelligence
    ... Oracle Business Intelligence Discoverer
    ... Oracle HTTP Server
    ... Oracle Application Server Containers for J2EE (OC4J)
    ... Oracle Enterprise Manager 10g Application Server Control
    ... Oracle Application Server Web Cache
    No OWB10gR2 as you can see.
    Metalink rang me earlier this week for some TAR, and they were hoping to see OWB10gR2 released this year... this implies that we have to count ourselves lucky if that means december. At the moment they're working hard to get a stable product out, guess there are more serious bugs to solve than they had anticipated on previously.
    Cheers, Patrick

  • OWB 10g Release 2 from 32 bit to 64 bit on Linux

    Hi guys,
    I have a client who is planning to migrate their Linux server from 32 bit to 64 bit and migrate their Oracle database from 10.2.0.3 from 32 bit server to 10.2.0.3 from 64 bit server.
    We have OWB 10g Release 2 (10.2.0.3) installed in the 32 bit server.
    Our DBA is planning to move the entire database to the new server including the OWB repositories.
    My question is,
    Will the following work?
    1. Install the OWB 10g Release 2 (10.2.0.3 or 10.2.0.4) 64 bit in the new 64 bit Linux 64 bit server
    2. Remove all the OWB repository user schemas & roles from the database where OWB is installed
    3. Install the OWB repository in the new 64 bit server
    4. Import the .mdl backup of the project from existing OWB 32 bit to the new OWB 64 bit server
    5. Configure the project with the new server
    OR
    Since our DBA is planning to move the entire database to the new server including the OWB repositories
    1. Install the OWB 10g Release 2 (10.2.0.3) 64 bit in the new 64 bit Linux 64 bit server
    Will I be able to access my repository that is migrated from the 32 bit server (avoiding the installation of OWB repository and importing the project and configuring the whole project in the new server) ?
    Please someone shed some light on this. Your help is appreciated
    Thanks in advance....

    Does this mean, ... we have to install the OWB 64 bit and install a new repository in the 64 bit server?In my opinion you don't need to create new repository.
    After migrating database to 64bit perform steps from Metalink note 434272.1 "How To Update Warehouse Builder 10.2 After A Database Cloning".
    It is better to save the same path for new OWB 64bit software. If you install OWB into different path you need to update OWBRTPS table with new path to OWB software (look at metalink note 550271.1).

  • OWB 10g repository assistants no longer work on 10.3.0.1 win2003

    Just posted this to the database forum... oops.... now that I'm in the right spot...
    I just installed Oracle 10.2.0.1 for win2k3 and OWB 10g. With 10.1.xxx the design and runtime reporitory assistants worked fine building their respective schemas, but with the new database release, they tell me that sys and system (and any other user with dba priv's) need to have dba priv's. Is this a known bug in the new release for winsrv?

    From Metalink note 332371.1:
    The OWB 10.1.0.2 and 10.1.0.3 versions are not certified with the 10gR2 database.
    A complete 10gR2 certification will be available for the OWB 10.1.0.4 patch.
    You will need to wait for the release of the 10.1.0.4 OWB patch or use and earlier version of the Database.
