Loading in warehouse builder

Hi all,
Can anyone provide me the details of the following in warehouse builder:
1. Target databases supported
2. Metadata Repository support
3. Graphical UI support
4. Metadata Management

Hi,
1. Target databases supported: http://download.oracle.com/docs/cd/B28359_01/owb.111/b31278/concept_import.htm#BABHFDFE
2. Metadata Repository support: repository is hosted on Oracle DB, standard or enterprise edition
3. Graphical UI support: Not sure what you're asking for here. Basically, OWB has graphical editors and a scripting language (OMB+).
4. Metadata Management: discussed in Install Guide at http://download.oracle.com/docs/cd/B28359_01/owb.111/b31280/pt_admin.htm#sthref244
Hope this helps,

Several application loading to Warehouse Builder 10g

Hi all,
I have several applications based on DB2 and i will load and using extraction functionality.
Have anyone experience to how using ETL in this case.
Thanks in advance
my email: [email protected]

Hi
Do you want to use the DB2 applications or the data only.
If you need only the data, use the DB2 datasource in the OWB.

Oracle Warehouse Builder : Loading

Hello ,
I am working with OWB 3i ;and i am trying to load data from Relational Source to Target warehouse ; but during this it is discarding the package ; i.e the package is not being getting loaded .

Warehouse builder forum is the right forum for technical questions about OWB. Please try searching OWB,Warehouse Builder before reposting this question in that forum.

Confuse about Configuring Oracle Warehouse Builder

newbie here... i am abit confuse on how to configure the Oracle Warehouse builder...
I have 2 database... 1 source and 1 new one...
I understand that i have to install the Runtime Repository in the database computer and the Target Schema through the client's computer...
so all this while... i am just confuse about what to install into the source database and what to install into the new database...
Please help...

Location is a logical entity in your OWB design that can be either a database schema, a flat file location, an SAP application location etc. Once you complete your design and are ready to deploy the design into the runtime environment, you will have to 'register' the locations by providing the physical details of your location to OWB (user name/password, database, hostname etc.).
I am a bit confused by your configuration - are the source and the target in two separate schemas or in the same schema? Your posts are somewhat contradictory.
If they are in two different schemas, you should:
1. Create a source module pointing to a source schema (you can then import data object structures from the source schema - i.e. you don't have to create source tables manually in OWB, but you can import them into the module automatically). This module will have a source location (for example SRC_LOC).
2. Create a target module where all your target objects will be (i.e. where the data will be loaded). This module will have a different location (TGT_LOC). In your target module you will also create the mappings.
3. When deploying, you will register SRC_LOC with the physical details of your source schema, while the target location will be registered with the physical details of the target schema. The code generated by OWB during deployment will make sure that the data is extracted from the source schema and inserted into the target schema (either by generating and using DB links or by qualifying the schemas in the extraction queries if source and target are in the same database instance).
On the other hand, if both source and target objects are in the same db schema, you can have all your objects in the same target module and you will only have to register the location of this target module when deploying (LOC_TGT).
That said, there can be a variety of reasons why there is no data in the target after you run the extract mapping that have nothing to do with locations, such as logical errors in the mapping (an inappropriate filter or a wrong join), insufficient privileges etc. I suggest you take a look in the runtime audit browser that should contain the error messages relative to your mapping.

Load data warehouse from non-Oracle database

Hi
I need to load a data warehouse (in a Oracle database 8.1.6) using Post Gree database tables.
The question is: Oracle Warehouse Builder can identify this database like a source module?
Or is better I generate txt files from Post Gree tables, load a staging database (in Oracle) with the same structure of POst Gree tables and after that, load my data warehouse?
Best Regards
Honorio Cardozo Jr

You can identify Oracle sources from Oracle 7.3 and up. I.e. yes, you can directly go against the database and you do not need to extract into flat files.

Warehouse Builder - Workflow - How to integrate both?

Hi All
I have installed Oracle Workflow Server in a SUN machine; and the Oracle
Workflow Client (Builder) in a WIN2000 machine.
In the SUN machine, I already had installed Oracle9i and OMS (Oracle
Management Server) version 9.2.0.1.0.
In the WINDOWS 2000 machine, I already had installed the Oracle9i
Client and the OWB (Oracle Warehouse Builder) version 9.0.3.35.0. Workflow Builder
was installed together with Oracle Client components.
I have a OWB (Oracle Warehouse Builder) project, and I deploy and schedule JOBS in OEM.
Now I need Oracle Workflow in order to better ordering, manage and schedule that jobs.
I'm reading the following documentation:
Oracle Workflow Guide (Release 2.6.2)
http://www.csis.gvsu.edu/GeneralInfo/Oracle/workflow.920/a95265.pdf
But I think Oracle Workflow is very complex to learn quickly.
My OWB Project has several mappings that load tables in a Data Warehouse.
When I deploy these mappings one by one, in OEM, I can execute them in OEM
and they work well.
But when I use the Workflow Deployment Wizard, I create a new Workflow
Project (Item type and Process).
But I can't Launch this process. I go to Launch Process in Workflow page
(http://<my_machine>:<port>/pls/<WorkDAD>/) but when I iniciate the project,
it stops in the OWB Standard Begin Function. It does not go ahead.
Well, when I use the Workflow Deployment Wizard inside OWB, it generates jobs that can
be viewed inside OEM (Oracle Enterprise Manager) too. But when I submit
these jobs, I can't get success too.
Can somebody help me? May you guide me in order to solve my problem, or send me some
documents or links about workflow, and it's integration with OWB and OEM?

Mark, I've already made the steps you suggested.
As it did not works yet, I will explain step by step what I've made, and the versions of the softwares:
In my Win2000 machine (development) I have installed:
- OWB version "9.0.3.33.0" and updated it to "9.0.3.35.0". (in a Oracle9iDS ORACLE_HOME).
- the OEM version "9.2.0.1.0" and Oracle Workflow Builder version "2.6.1.5.2" (in a Oracle9i ORACLE_HOME), both were installed with Oracle9i Client. Here maybe an error is the OWF Builder version, is there an newer version of it?
In a SUN SOLARIS machine (the server) we have installed:
- OMS version "9.2.0.1.0".
- OWF Server version "2.6.2" (installed with Oracle "9.0.2.1").
- Apache HTTP Server version "1.3" (also installed with Oracle "9.0.2.1").
- The repository for OWB, OEM and OWF (both 3 are different schemas in one database), and the target Warehouse (another database) are installed in this machine (SUN) too.
Well, working in my OWB project I can normaly deploy my tables, views and mappings in the target warehouse.
I can also run these jobs (generated by OWB) and they populate the Warehouse tables. It is exactly what I need, but now I need to schedule and order these jobs in workflow, you know.
When I run the Workflow Deployment Wizard (in OWB), in the "connect information for the Workflow Server" screen, I fill in with the "owf_mgr" username and its password. In the next screen I choose one or more mappings.
Next, suppose I fill in the Workflow Item Type as WIT_DW and the Workflow Process as WP_DW.
And in the last screen, I check the option "Deploy the Workflow Process into OEM".
It generates 4 jobs in OEM:
- WIT_DW_OWB_STD_BEGIN
- WIT_DW_OWB_STD_END
- WIT_DW_OWB_STD_ERROR
- WIT_DW_WP_DW
Next, I go to the Oracle Workflow Builder, open the project I've created (in the Database), make the flow, and save the project.
Next, I come back to the OEM and Submit the "WIT_DW_WP_DW" job, but it does not work. So, there's something wrong yet.
About the Workflow Queue Listener:
- Together with OWB 9.0.33.3.0 installation, there's the directory "extras\wfql_unix". I copied this directory contents inside "$ORACLE_HOME" in SUN.
- Inside OWB, in the Warehouse Module, in the "Configuration Properties DATA_WAREHOUSE" screen, I filled in the "Run
Time Directories > Queue Listener Directory" field with "/disk1/oracle/owb/bin/solaris". (It's the local where the workflowqlsnr.sh is located). And in the field "Queue Listener Host" I put the name of the SUN machine.
- But I can't run the workflowqlsnr.sh with success. Some java errors occurs. Is there anything to do or configure yet?
More questions (Please I'd very glad if you could help me):
- Is there some thing I need to configure in the Workflow Manager page?
(http://[machine]:[port]/servlets/em/oam/wfm/wfmLogin$tns_address=)
E.g., change or add Background Engine / Agent Listener / Queue Propagation / Purge.
- Is there some thing I need to configure in the Workflow home page?
(http://[machine]:[port]/pls/[WorkDAD]/wfa_html.home)
- How do I erase the Workflow Items Type in the Workflow Home Page? I runned the "workflowqclr.sh" but it didn't erase.
Thanks again

Adriano,
In order to manage the dependencies between the mappings using Oracle Workflow you have to do the following:
- Deploy your mappings (PL/SQL into the database; ABAP to the SAP machine; SQL loader on to the target database's file system).
- Register all mappings in OEM (that is, using the tcl scripts and the OEM register button).
- Run the Workflow deployment wizard to create the process steps in Oracle Workflow. At the end of the wizard, you can choose to create Workflow jobs to invoke the process flow.
- Use Workflow Builder to build the actual process flow (so far you have only created the process steps). Save the process.
- Either use OEM to submit the process or use the workflowqlsnr.sh to invoke the workflow queue listener manually. In order to use OEM, make sure you have set the Workflow Queue listener path correctly in the configuration of the target module.
Then... figgers crossed... it should work.
Hope this helps,
Mark.

Idea on Warehouse builder

Hi
Im new to Warehouse builder and as of now, i've installed Oracle10G warehouse builder. Now i've started working on OWB Client. But i dont know the original purpose of it and other components present in it. Can anybody pls guide me the work flow of warehouse builder and its components. Please guide me on this or give me some reference docs or the work flow to easily understand it. I've the documents that come along with installation but that seems to be too huge and a difficult one to follow for the beginner. so pls give some guidance
Regards
S. Kokila

Indeed, OWB is an ideal tool for this.
The ETL process you need to transfer from one database to another can be implemented using OWB. The name, Warehouse Builder, can be a little misleading. You do not have to be building a data warehouse, but OWB is still the tool for the job.
You can use OWB to design the star schema target, design and implement the ETL process (Extraction, Transformation and Loading) to transfer the data from the OLTP schema(s) to the star schema(s) or straight into Oracle OLAP.

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 'COST' OF GROUP 'OUTGRP1' OF OPERATOR 'AGGREGATOR' \
TO ATTRIBUTE 'COST' OF GROUP 'SALES' OF OPERATOR 'SALES_OUT'\
ADD CONNECTION FROM ATTRIBUTE 'QUANTITY' OF GROUP 'OUTGRP1' OF OPERATOR 'AGGREGATOR' \

TO ATTRIBUTE 'CHANNELS_SOURCE_ID' OF GROUP 'SALES' OF OPERATOR 'SALES_OUT'\
ADD CONNECTION FROM ATTRIBUTE 'SUBCATEGORY_ID' OF GROUP 'OUTGRP1' OF OPERATOR 'AGGREGATOR' \
TO ATTRIBUTE 'PROMOTIONS_SOURCE_ID' OF GROUP 'SALES' OF OPERATOR 'SALES_OUT'\
ADD CONNECTION FROM ATTRIBUTE 'PRODUCT_ID' OF GROUP 'OUTGRP1' OF OPERATOR 'AGGREGATOR' \

ADD CONNECTION FROM ATTRIBUTE 'CITY_ID' OF GROUP 'OUTGRP1' OF OPERATOR 'AGGREGATOR' \
TO ATTRIBUTE 'CUSTOMERS_SOURCE_ID' 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'
Code for creating the cube:
OMBCREATE CUBE 'SALES'\

Oracle Warehouse Builder:Customised job summary format

Hi experts,
We need customised job summary information or log file in OWB such as:
(a) Total records read from data file;
(b) Total records processed;
(c) Total records successfully loaded;
(d) Total records failed;
(e) Failure records details.
Can anyone suggest how we can achieve this?
Any help will be highly appreciated.
Thanks in advance..

Conflicts Warehouse Builder vs JDevelopper

Hello
I have installed database Rel. 2. JDevelopper 9.0.3.2 with BI Beans 9.0.3.6.
Additionally I installed the warehouse builder 9.2.0.2.8. Since I did this I receive the following error message by starting JDevelopper:

Damian

No both installations are on the same machine!
on C:\oracle\ora92 the database Rel. 2
and on C:\JDev9032 the JDevelopper
The Warehouse Buider I installed in the JDev9032 home.
Because when I wanted to install it in the database home,
the installer stopped me with the message that I can't install it in an oracle home, which already has an rdbms installed.

Archiving audit trail using data warehouse builder.

How do you archive audit trail using data warehouse builder ?
Can someone please provide any steps in archiving the audit trail table aud$ ?

Hi.
Sorry 'bout my ignorance, what is a POC?
About OWB Installation cenario, it's all up to you. If your target database is a 9i db and you don't want to have a new database instance, then you can place all OWB repositories in this instance. Remember that DB release must be at least 9iR2. For further information, check OWB Installation Guide.
You'll find all OWB 10g R2 documentation in here:
http://download-east.oracle.com/docs/cd/B31080_01/doc/nav/portal_booklist.htm
OWB client may reside in any client machine or even in the host machine (if it's a windows server).
If you prefer to have a brand new instance to host OWB Repositories, you must create the runtime rep. in the target database (9i), in order to avoid loading performance issues.
Hope this helps

Can one build a data warehouse using SQL rather than Warehouse Builder?

I would like to build a data warehouse purely using SQL statements. Where can I find the data warehouse extension of SQL statements?

I am exploring the internal workings of Warehouse Builder.
I have written a SQL script to generate sample data to be inserted into tables, then write SQL script to do Extraction, Transformation and Loading using MERGE,, GROUP BY CUBE, DECODE, etc.
If anyone has any experience of just using SQL to perform ETL, would you share your expeience here? Thanks.

Oracle Warehouse Builder VS Oracle Data Integrator

Hi everybody,
I have a question that wish you can help me.
we have systems of x64 so we cant use Oracle Warehouse Builder (only support on system 32 bits), someone recommend us to use Data Integrator but i don't really know this application.
Anyway ODI 11.1.X.X could it be installed in x64:
All Oracle Fusion Middleware products that are indicated as certified on x64 processor based Oracle Linux 5.5 or 5 Update 5+, 64 bit operating system, are also supported on Exalogic X2-2.
What's is the different between OWB and ODI?
I read about it and see that ODI is powerfull and it apply "Data Quality" better than OWB, is it right?
Is it possible to exp/imp with metadata loader move metadates between OWB and ODI?

Hi,
well, the basic difference is hard to tell. ODI is based on so called knowledge module. This are implementations for physical access to all kind different database technologies (among ohter things). Therefore ODI used to be more flexible extracting data from different database technologies and also writing to them. But with OWB 11.2, these knowledge modules were integrated into owb as so-called template mappings. OWB has a stronger integration with the Oracle database and an Oracle database is always required. Oracle plans to integrate these two tools into one some day, whenever that will be. ODI offers more options for data quality (that are charged extra).
So technically, the two tools are not that different. They have different user interfaces anyway.
A big difference is the license. A basic version of OWB is included with the database license, so it can be used without extra charge. Most of our customers are using this version, even for large dwh implementations. If you buy am ETL license (or already have one), you may use both tools.
Before you decide on one of the tools, make sure you have enough manpower with the required skill available - internal or external.
Hope this helps,
Carsten.

Warehouse Builder - Repository - How extract ?

Sorry for my broken english, but i need your help.
I must write about Warehouse Builder Repository.(Describe).
My Teacher say, that i must import repository to designer and than i will see scheme (and then describe all elements).
But how do that ?
Maybe you have some information about Warehouse Builder Repository ?
Thanks for help.

Thanks for answer.
I begining with Oracle, and sorry if my questions are maybe stupid ;)
1. I must download Database 10g + designer 10g + OWB 10g - and this is all ? Or maybe also Oracle Developer
Suite 10g ?
Please give me direct link to this software, becouse today i download a lot of this software, but the is so many version that i don't now, what is good.
2. To write about Warehouse Builder Repository.(Describe) i must load some exmaple warehouse ? i think, that no ?
Thanks.

How to load/populate warehouse w/o OEM/OMS?

During the install of OWB, Oracle enterprise manager and Oracle management server are listed as being optional. I have verified, generated, deployed and run my scripts but then it comes to a halt because the next step is to register the .tcl file with OEM. Can anyone explain how I can load/populate the warehouse without having to use OEM/OMS?

What version of Warehouse Builder are you using?
