Load Plan Exception Finds no PrevStepLog Value

import smtplib

server.sendmail(From,To,Message)
sends "No previous step log message" for a failing Load Plan step.
How can I get the PrevStepLog value in a Load Plan Exception step?

Currently my packages have many steps, each step with a red failure arrow leading to this type of failure e-mail procedure -- lots of red arrows and many nearby copies of the failure e-mail procedure to eliminate the confusion.
I had hoped that the Load Plan Exception feature would let me take all these red arrows out of my packages and move the e-mail failure reporting to the Exception step.

Load Plan exception step variable

Hi all,
maybe you could be interested in.
It is not possible refresh or overwrite a variable inside exception step. This is fantastic !
http://docs.oracle.com/cd/E21764_01/relnotes.1111/e10133/odi.htm#CHDFFEFI
So If I need to log an error I cannot use a parametric query. Great !

Load Plan and variables

Hi all,
I cannot set value for variables inside load plan exceptions editor. Anyway I can inside Load Plan steps editor.
Is it possible ?
I need to set variable when exception is raised. How I can do it ?
thanks

thank you for the answer..
but why I have to use a when case step?
I just need to set a string in a variable before to execute a serial step within exception step.
I do this in a normal load plan step. So Why I cannot do the same in the exception one ?

Hi Brandao,
From the error log you had sent, it seems that the time zone maintained for the resource L-1000 is invalid which requires correction.
Correct the time zone maintained in the resource and then retry

Load Plans Don't Honor Default Variable Values

The following code uses Package defaults for Global Variable Values. When run as the first step in a Package or as the Scenario of a Package, it works.
When run as the first step in Load Plan the code fails. Load Plans apparently don't honor Variabel default values.
import socket
outsocket = socket.socket(socket.AF_INET,socket.SOCK_DGRAM)
ContextName = '<%=snpRef.getSession("CONTEXT_NAME")%>'
if not ContextName: ContextName = 'No Context'
SessionName = '<%=snpRef.getSession("SESS_NAME")%>'
if not SessionName: SessionName = 'No Session'
Message = '<%=snpRef.getOption("Message")%>'
if not Message: Message = 'No Message'
outmessage = ' '.join([
     '#PLATFORM'
    ,ContextName
    ,SessionName
    ,Message
ListenPort = #LISTEN_PORT
if not ListenPort: raise RuntimeError, 'no listen port'
ListenHost = '#LISTEN_HOST'
if not ListenHost: raise RuntimeError, 'no listen host'
outsocket.sendto(outmessage,(ListenHost,ListenPort))
outsocket.close()
[code]

I know the documentation says Load Plans don't honor Package defaults, but still. . .

[BIACM0085] Error executing load plan after reverting from LDAP to original security mechanism in BIA 11.1.1.7.1

We have tried to change authenticaion of BI Apps 11.1.1.7.1 to LDAP, but reverted this due to some other issues. Now we are back with standard authentication, and all functionality seems to work fine, except execution of a load plan.
When we select (any) plan that was executed earlier, we get an error:

According to one of our WLS gurus there is a mismatch between consumer and provider of a web service with a security policy, but we cannot find any difference between a working and this failing environment.
We already started a trace in WLS, but this does not help us further.

Send a Failure Email Notification After Load Plan execution in ODI 11g

Hi Experts,
Greetings!
I am trying to send an email if any of the step fails during Load Plan execution. Irrespective of the failed object, only 1 email should be sent to the Administrator. I unable to do this. Mails are getting sent for the no of times the no of object fails. For eg if 10 out of 100 steps fails, 10 emails are getting sent. I need to send only 1 email.
I am using ODISendMail.
I have tried various combinations however, all in Vain.
For instance:
root step --> Exeception Step (Send Failure Email) and Execption behaviour (Run Exception and Ignore). Using this because, I dont want to stop the load plan on the step failure.
Interface1: Exeception Step (Blank) and Execption behaviour (Run Exception and Ignore).
Interface2: Exeception Step (Blank) and Execption behaviour (Run Exception and Ignore).
Exception not getting executed.
Please help.
Regards,
Andy

Thanks SH.
I tried your suggestion as per below.
1. Created global variable "v_cnt" with default value "0"
2. Created package "pkg_v_cnt" to increment the variable by 1
3. created package "pkg_sendError_Email" to check if v_cnt > 0 then Send Error Email.
For Instance, the loan plan looks like this:
root step --> Exeception Step (pkg_v_cnt) and Execption behaviour (Run Exception and Raise)
Interface1: Exeception Step (pkg_v_cnt) and Execption behaviour (Run Exception and Ignore).
Interface2: Exeception Step (pkg_v_cnt) and Execption behaviour (Run Exception and Ignore).
Send Error Email (pkg_sendError_Email)
The issue here is that, the variables are not getting the incremented value and hence unable to send email . The variable value remains "0" even after execution of the exception steps when both interfaces fails.
Pls help.
Thanks,
Andy

How can I control del Target Load plan in a mapping?

Hi,I have a mapping (attachment) that does inserts and updates to the same table in 3 different situations. It is a simple mapping that inserts new rows or update one that already exists, but also keeps the instance before update. If one record already exists it inserts a new instance of that record and updates the old one with the modification date.But i'm having an issue because of the order in wich each target is loaded. I know i can make 3 independent pipelines and then use the target load plan but y want to avoid reading the source more than one tiem.Regards, Matías.

kglad, thank you very much for taking a look.
Perhaps it would be better to view the entire site here:
http://www.katodesignstudio.net/linda/index.html
On the News page, I'd like to have a button that will load
the Screening page (screening.swf) where the News page is loaded.
At the link above, the button has been removed until I can find a
solution but it would be located where the "see screening page for
details" text is now.
As you can see by going to any other page, all of the pages
in the site load into a container clip. From what I can tell so
far, I need the button to unload the News.swf from the container
clip and load the Screening.swf into that same container clip,
similar to what the top Nav menu is doing. The trick seems to be to
get the button to unload the swf that the button is located in...
How can this be done?
thanks again for your help!

Dynamic Load Plan creation using scripting

Hello All,
               We have a requirement to create load plans dynamically i.e using script groovy. Idea is that we will store interface scenarios in a table and then script will read these scenarios an create dynamic load plans. Now following are my question.
               1) Is it possible to create load plans through script ? (different blogs on net claims that you can do anything or everything whatever ODI studio can do)
                2) Any pointer what API to use for this task ? I am very new to scripting and have zero idea about how to go about it . if possible please suggest sample script to create load plans (I can see some sample to create interface,folder etc on net.)
Thanks in advance for your reply.
Thanks & Regards

ODI SDK apis allows dynamic creation of Loadplans. Oracle Fusion Middleware Java API Reference for Oracle Data Integrator
Studio too uses these APIs for LP related operations so you should be able to do using these whatever studio allows.
You can find SDK samples at Oracle Data Integration Sample Code

ODI 11g, Issue with Load plan variable in CASE WHEN STEP

Hi,
I am trying to retrieve value of the current context using the following code in refreshing variable:
Variable name: Context
Refreshing Code: select '<%=odiRef.getContext( "CTX_Name" )%>' from dual
The variable is returning correct results when I refresh / Call it as part of Run Scenario step.
Requirement: I want to use the variable Context in CASE step, depending on the value it results I want to execute a selective set of scenarios. I have defined case when steps per the requirements.
Issue: The behavior of the variable is not as expected when used in CASE WHEN step. Load plan execution always triggers only ELSE part of CASE WHEN step.
I have tried force refresh option in CASE STEP on the variable Context.
Need your help and advice on how to fix the issue.
Thank you,
Bharani

Early execution of scheduled load plan

Hi All,
Can anyone help me
In my Project, production environment they scheduled 2 loadplans ie fulltest & odscopies
so what happen here is in fulltest scheduled at every sat 1.00am, having 7 scenarios with 3 are parellel, in that 2 scenarios has executed befor the scheduled time and again exectuted scheduled time
why its runs we are not able to found it and its do this week only never happen previosly ?
Thansk in advance
srikanth

Hi.
1) I don't know if its possible
2) I don't know if it's possible to achieve what you want from one load plan to another.
You may do the following:
1 - Create a table with the load plan name or ID and the dependency between them (like a parent-child table) and put start and end date times or flag attributes to inform the execution start and finish.
2 - Create one or more package or procedure to control the finish of one load plan and start of the other. Use the ODITimeWait and a variable to check the value of the flags in a loop.
3 - Put the call of these packages or procedures in the beginning of each load plan so he may start but will continue only if the parent load plan finished sucessfuly.
May be a little complicated in the beginning but worth a try and you can attach as many load plans you want.
OR
1 - Create a package with a call to the child load plan using OdiStartLoadPlan
2 - Add the package scenario to the end of the first load plan.
Any other idea will be greatly appreciated.
Cheers.

Case when condition in ODI Load Plan

Hi All,
Created a project variable(VAR_X) which is a text type and it can be refreshed by querying in some database.
Created a Load Plan and added a Case step by using VAR_X
with following logic
Case VAR_X
when value ='X'
run_x_scenario.
when value='Y'
run_y_scenario.
else
but whenever I give start up value X or Y ,variable unable to evaluate the when condition provided in the load plan.
always its taking else step
Case VAR_X
else
but its working when I evaluate with numeric number like when value =1 etc (here I changed variable datatype to numeric)
Any pointers will be appreciated.
Thanks,
Aravind

It may be due to the quotes you have added in your when clause. Can you try it without quotes.

Couple of points about your code:
1. Don't declare your instance variables as solid types, declare them using their interfaces (where applicable), so in your case don't specifiy that you are using Vector or Hashtable, use List and Map. This will allow you to easily change your code to use a different collection, if and when appropriate. Also the unnecessary overhead of Vectors synchronisation means that you should use ArrayList instead of vector (that means that you will have to use get(int) instead of elementAt() but that's a very small price to pay.
2. Declare local variables as close to their point of usage as possible. (Unless you need to do this for your course work, in which case you don't have a choice).
3. Use the appropriate data type. For your count of null values you should be using an int or a long (you can't have a fractional count value!) Also, this should have been obvious to you, when you had to cast the value to an int for use with your lists. (Using double as an index is a very bad idea... And before you go posting the question, do a search on why floating point precision may not give you the results you expect)
4. Code defencively... e.g. in your meanDouble() method, you set nonNull to 0, and then you do a division using that value. What do you think is going to happen if your loop doesn't execute once? Division by zero... You should handle these cases, rather than letting them fail ignominiously.
5. If you are doing code like this...    if (currentDouble != null) {
        // / nothing to do
    } else {
        nbNull++;
    } Why have the empty block? You should just do the inverse.
    if (currentDouble == null) {
        nbNull++;
    } Far simpler, and expresses exactly what you are trying to do, not what you are not trying to do.
6. Enumeration --- What version of java is that course being run in? I can see that you are using autoboxing, so it has to be 1.5 so, WHY is your lecturer encouraging the use of Vectors, Hashtables, and Enumerations!?!?!
Anyway, that should be enough to be going on with.

Loop in a Load Plan

I'm sure this is doable, but I'm just too dense to see it...
Load Plans are really cool -- I like the way it organizes steps (large Packages are cumbersome and while I have encapsulated with Scenarios it can get tricky for me) and I really like the way results get piped back to Operator. I will admit that the parallelism isn't a needed feature at this point but it's nice to have.
So now that I'm full of Load Plan love, I have a proof of concept Package that loops the records in a table that I want to emulate in a Load Plan. The Package is very similar to this: http://blogs.oracle.com/dataintegration/entry/using_variables_in_odi_creatin
Through blind stumbling, I have gotten all of the components of my proof-of-concept Package loop into a Load Plan but I can't figure out how to loop in a LP.
Test for a value? Yes.
Force a Refresh Variable to refresh? Yes.
But how do I tell the LP to execute a series of steps and then jump right back to the beginning? I know that I could just list it out (it's 10 steps) but the whole point of a loop (I know everyone knows this but it helps me) is to repeat a process till a counter hits a value.
I can certainly include my looping Package within an overall LP, but I wonder if I can do away with the Package altogether.
What oh what am I missing?
Thanks,
Cameron Lackpour

You're not missing anything I'm afraid, loops are not currently supported functionality in load plans.
