Mapping complete - process flow busy

Hi all,
I've a problem with a process flow I've imported from another server.
If I run this process flow in the testing server it runs and complete without problems.
Now, I've imported this process flow in the production server but it doesn't complete. In Audit browser I see that all mappings have "complete" status but the process flow is still busy after 1 hour.
In the process flow there are 7 mappings and 3 user defined operations that use shell scripts.
What I've missed?

Thanks

Hi Gul,
We are using OWB 11.1 and we've experienced the same thing.
We solved this by:
- adding an index on the runtime repository
- clean up the runtime audit tables
- collect statistics on the runtime tables
There should be plenty information about the step above.
If you're not familiair with it, then I can include it in a next message.
- check the process flows for errors.
We found out that some process flows got corrupted after export-import.
Some transitions had flase numbering.
Example: a mapping had an success (0), error (1) and warning (1).
The error and warning lines had the same number.
After correcting this the flows worked correctly.

Emile

Re-Run Partially Completed Process Flow

OWB Version:10.2.0.2.8
All,
Is there a way to re-run a process flow from a point of failure i.e. if Process Flow A has 10 steps and failed on step 3, after doing some remedial work, I want to re-run the process flow from step 3 to completion. Any help with this would be much appreciated.

Start and end time for a mapping in process flow

We are executing 6 mappings in a process flow. 4 out of 6 run in parallel . The log file created in a control center denotes start and end time for a process flow. But Is there any way to find out how long those individual mappings took ? Is start/end time logged on a mapping level somewhere ?
Thanks

As well as the repository browser you can use the SQL Developer reports on the utility exchange which are based on the public views.

You can dig in and see how these are read from the SQL views.

Scheduling Mapping or Process Flows- How to?

Hi
I am able to succesfully deploy and execute mappings & PFs using control center. Now i want to test the scheduling part. How should i a schedule a mapping to run at regular intervals of time.
Regards
Vibhuti

Hi I figured out a way to schedule my mapings as explained in the below link
Scheduled Map Error: ORA-20001: Internal error ...
but when i deploy my schduled job it gives mr the follwoing errors
ORA-01749: you may not GRANT/REVOKE privileges to/from yourself
RPE-02224: Internal Error: Cannot grant privilege EXECUTE on object SPRO_OWNER.WB_RTI_WORKFLOW_UTIL to user SPRO_OWNER.
What does it mean? Do i have to give any privileges on SPRO_OWNER.WB_RTI_WORKFLOW_UTIL pakage? If yes then what privileges do i have to give?
Please let me know.

Where jobs are stored in database after executing mapping and process flow?

Hi Gurus,
I am new to OWB, i would like to know where the owb jobs stored in the database. I am planning to execute jobs on database by avoiding OWB. Could anybody give steps to take code in database and execute.
Thanks & Regards

Process flow/map performance issues

We have some issues with our OWB-based application and we're looking to find out if there are different ways we could be using the tool, or features/options we've missed.
We are trying to maintain a near real time feed of data from a front end system into our warehouse which was built using OWB 10.2.0.3 over a 10.2.0.4 database. The bulk of the application consists of OWB maps with a few hand-written PL/SQL objects, all executed in a series of hierachical OWB process flows. Maps/transformations are executed either sequentially or in parallel where the referential integrity of the model allows.
The problem is that we have around 150 tables in the datamart which could potentially require updating on each refresh cycle, although in practice only a few tables have any activity on a typical refresh cycle. The cycle consists of loading data into a set of staging tables, and from there the data is transformed into the main schema, often with multiple maps per target table.
On every cycle we run hundreds of maps, the vast majority of which process zero rows. Each map runs quickly and efficiently in its own right but collectively they add up to a 5 - 10 min cycle even if there is no data to process.
There are 2 avenues which we'd like to explore and would be grateful if anyone could provide any pointers/suggestions :-
1) It appears that each map opens and closes its own database session when it executes. I presume this was done because a single process flow could be constructed with maps executing in different target schemas, but we know that's not the case for us. We'd like to know if there is anyway to configure the database connection at a higher level (eg. process flow) so it opens a connection once and executes each of the maps (database packages) in that one session.
Our DBAs are experimenting with 'shared server' settings at a database level which may help to some degree but won't be the whole story.
2) Another option is simply to run less maps eg. load the staging area as now, collate stats on which staging tables contain new data, and then apply some logic such that subsequent maps only execute if the relevant staging table(s) contain(s) some new data, otherwise bypass that map.
We tried experimenting with the 'Pre Mapping Process' operator, but essentially that just generates another function call from the map package, so we still have the overhead of opening a database session for each map to run the package. Minimal gain.
We thought about adding a function call in the process flow before each map and then branching to either execute/bypass the map as approriate, but the function call still requires opening/closing of a database session each time so, once again, minimal gain.
What we really want is some way for a map or process flow to check without logging onto the database repeatedly.
Any ideas on the above, or other potential solutions anyone could suggest, would be greatly appreciated.

Regarding Performance Tunning of Mapping & Process Flow

Hi,
i have around 60-70 GB data in Target database.
i need do improve the performance of Mapping and Process flow.
i have used lookup transformation in mapping.
Plz give me some tips for improving performance of Process.
Thanks,

Please go through a Performance Tuning Book for Oracle 10gR2.
Most importantly remember that in Oracle 10g, your performace of mappings can be increased manifold by following these steps:
1. Do not design a mapping wherein you load a table and then select from that table to load another table and so on. This is a bad design.
2. Keep mappings as simple as possible. In other words if a mapping is complicated in terms of joins or other operators then split the mapping into more than one parts.
3. Also check that all your source tables should be analyzed using DBMS_STATS. Ensuring this one single step can make your work very easy.
4. Put indexes where you find your predicate has a very high selectivity. Also keep in mind the column ordering of the index.
5. Use Set Based operation, since it is always a good idea to achieve the result by running one single query rather than a loop and multiple inserts.
6. Use APPEND PARALLEL hint while loading the target tables. This will not generate wny redo and save time
7. Please have a recheck while usng some performance intensive operators like UNION, DISTINCT and AGGREGATION
8. When using a sequence operator to load a large table, check that the sequence should be cached with some values.
9. When loading large data HASH JOINS are the most appropriate more often than not. So you can use USE_HASH as the hint for selecting from large tables.
10. Filter out as much unrequired data from a table as soon as possible in the mapping before doing multiple joins.
I am sure there are many more ... the above is just a random list that I could remember now. Please go through Oracle Performance Tuning Guide, Tom Kyte's Oracle Expert One on One. Knowledge of performance tuning will grow with experience. I am also learning each day !!!

Mapping audit_id in process flow with parameter

Hello!
I have a following request.
I would like to get AUDIT_EXECUTION_ID for certain Mapping in process flow and pass this ID to next mapping (all this with help of parameters I guess??) to get some data from AUDIT tables. How to do this?
OWB version 10.2.0.1
Thank you Gorazd
Edited by: gor on May 9, 2011 1:40 PM

Hi,
It is a bit complicated and technical.
Will give you a hint.
You need to install run_my_owb_stuff as a function, grant access, and create a public synonym.
Then within you have to add capturing of the execution_id as an additional custom parameter. (see below).
Once done. Add a Start parameter with same name to each Process Flow, and Bind it to any activity that you want to use the parameter with.
-- Override Parameters
dbms_output.put_line('Stage 3: Overriding Parameters');
-- override_system_input_params(l_audit_execution_id, p_system_params);
if p_task_type='PROCESS' then
-- GRI addition
     l_custom_params := p_custom_params || ', p_execution_id=' || l_audit_execution_id;
override_custom_input_params(l_audit_execution_id, l_custom_params);
else
     override_custom_input_params(l_audit_execution_id, p_custom_params);
     end if;
-- override_custom_input_params(l_audit_execution_id, p_custom_params);

Process Flow Validation Warning.

Hi All,
OWB Config Details is as follows:
Oracle 9i Warehouse Builder Client: 9.2.0.2.8
Oracle 9i Warehouse Builder Repository: 9.2.0.2.0
1> Following Warning is displayed when Process Flow is validated in Process Editor in OWB.
VLD-10005: The following path in the process flow is a loop and may cause the process to loop infinitely,
START->EXT_SHELL_SCRIPT->M_STG_GRADE_OF_SERVICE->EMAIL_ERROR->UPDATE_MAP_PROCESS_ERROR->
2> A mapping is developed in OWB with some default configuration parameters e.g. In a mapping involves Source Text File as Source and Staging Table as Target.
Readsize and Bindsize config parameters are set to 5000 respectively. I included the same mapping in process flow as mapping. The above mentioned Config Parameters are modified to 5242880. I committed the changes & synchornized in the process flow editor. I was expecting the modified config parameter will be displayed in the process flow editor. However I found that it still displays old config parameters and not modified config parameters. Is this expected or Did i miss some steps ?
Can someone please let me know more on these issues?

Re your first question, you are probably hitting a bug (3035080) that makes OWB generate false warnings. Please ignore the warnings and try to deploy and run the process flow.
As for your second question - I cannot reproduce this on 9.2.0.2.8. The configuration properties are updated corectly in the SQLLOADER map and I get the same values in the process flow. By the way, why are you not using external tables instead of the SQLLoader maps?

Process flow of Depots

D Friends,
Can any body explain the following 2 processes:
1. Complete process flow in case of Duty paid depots.
2. Complete process flow in case of Non-Duty paid depots.
right from depots PO to sale from depot. Pls explain with T.Codes.
I again request to help as Iu2019m very new to CIN.
Thanks.

Hi,
The concept of Depot is in SAP treated as plant that it will be like a warehouse and not a manufacturing plant.From Depot goods will be sold to customer. Whenever the goods reach depot as well as leave the Depot it has to updated Depot Register.
In Depot Register Opening Balance and Closing Balance will be shown according to each day's sale.
We configure the excise for Depot by putting a check box mentioning as Depot.We do intracompany stock transfer using (UB) in ME21N where the manufacturing plant will be supplying plant and Depot Receiving Plant.
Once the Intracompany Stock transfer is created,the next step will be doing delivery and PGI.Now the stock removes from the unrestricted stock to stock in transit -- this is called two step procedure. This Stock in transit you can see in MB5T. Once delivery is created proforma invoice has to be created. This done in VF01 using F5.This done because to flow the excise values while doing Factory excise invoice in J1IIN.
The goods moves from factory to Depot and at Depot will do MIGO.Now Depot register can be updated during MIGO or individaully through trnasaction "J1IG" There is a transaction called J1IGA for tax exemption(non excise) cases to handle.
The Depot Register gets updated.
Here the Stock Transport Configuration has to be taken care. The Depot has to be created as customer for Manufacturing Plant and has to be assigned to Depot in Stock Configuration.You have to maintain excise indicator for this customer in customer master or in J1IID.
To sell from Depot .Normal Sales order processing(VA01).Delivery creation and PGI(Vl01N).DO J1IJ for Depot Outgoing excise.and finally billing(VF01). Here sometimes customer may put forward the requirement like customer has to be charged the same excise values when it left the factory. The only link is J1iJ here where we refer the factory excise invoice during depot excise posting with this link you can achieve the same if needed.
regards
