Metadata Reporting in Warehouse Builder 10.2

Hi,
I am new to Warehouse Builder.
I am looking for "How to" kind of documentation regarding Metadata Reporting in Warehouse builder version 10.2.
I need to document the metadata.
In Warehouse Builder version 9 I found this link:
http://download.oracle.com/docs/html/A97306_01/12metarp.htm#1077203
but I can not find the same information for WB 10.2.
Any suggestions will be very much appreciated.
Regards

Hi Peter,
After starting the installer it fails on the operating system version, apparently no support voor 2008R2.Maybe try to installation with option "-ignoreSysPrereqs"...
I tested OWB 10.2 on Windows7 64bit but cannot confirm that it also will work on 2008R2.
And if not, how tricky is it to upgrade to OWB 11.2, supposing that is certified.Steps to migrate from OWB 10.2 to 11.2 described in OWB installation guide:

  • Problem in import of MetaData file in Oracle Warehouse Builder 9.2

    My Problem is Related to Oracle WareHouse Builder.My system's configuration is following :-
    Machine : P4
    Operating System :Windows XP
    ORacle : Version 9.2
    Oracle WareHouse Builder 9.2
    Ram :1GB
    SGA Size :Approximately 650M
    I have 2 MetaData files which I have to import into OWB.
    First file's size is 9M.It got imported properly in 4 minutes without any error.
    2nd File's Size is 30M.when
    I start importing this MEtaData file.It goes upto 35% in Progress Bar.But after that it does not show any improvement.
    I have left the machine running with this option upto 24 hours.
    But nothing happened .It still shows only 35%.
    I have checked log file/Trace file/Alert log files ,but there is no error in these files.
    If any body have any solution about it,Please reply ASAP.I am stucked in this problem from last 7-8 days.
    Waiting for reply
    Thanks & Regards

    Thanks for your reply Igor.
    As posted the OWB 10.1.0 software is running against a 9.2.0.8.0. database, so OWB still uses DBMS_JOB instead of DBMS_SCHEDULER in this database. In addition I already tested scheduling a simple job to run an OS command as suggested in note 365539.1 , and job scheduling is working fine.
    There are no invalid objects in this database.

  • MetaData Reporting

    I am trying to run the metadata reports from Design Browser of the Client. I enable the Design Browser Client as per the instruction of the Configuration and install manual. But I get the following error:
    Authorization Required
    This server could not verify that you are authorized to access the document requested. Either you supplied the wrong credentials (e.g., bad password), or your browser doesn't understand how to supply the credentials required.
    I have permission to get to the server.
    What am I missing?
    Thanks for your help in advance.

    Yes, I do have the DAD created. As per the installation guide.
    Used the WareHouse Builder Repository Name as the DAD name.
    Have http server running on the server where the Desgin Repository resides.
    The Oracle OC4J is running on the client.
    The only I am not sure I did right is
    "Adding "LOCALHOST" to your webBrowser Proxy Server ByPass list"
    Under the internet option/Connections/LAN Settings:
    I have the "Use proxy server for your LAN" checked as weel as "bypass proxy server for local addresses".
    It gives me the following error when trying to log in:
    Service Temporarily Unavailable
    The server is temporarily unable to service your request due to maintenance downtime or capacity problems. Please try again later.

  • Designer Vs. Oracle Data warehouse builder

    Dear all,
    Currently I'm responsible of building a Data warehousing project using Oracle database. I'm trying to decide on a tool for modelling my datawarehouse. I have two options:
    1) Designer: we have some experience with this tool and we are using it for our main OLTP application.
    2) Oracle Data Warehouse builder: we are using this to design our ETL processes.
    I want to get some advice on whether the OWB is capable of modelling my datawarehouse and of doing a retrofit action. also, I try to standardize on the tools that are using in the Data Warehouse department (currently we are using only OWB).
    I will appreciate for any other advice to help in my selection process.
    Best Regards,
    Bilal

    Hi,
    In my experience this choice depends on the implementation of the datawarehouse. If you are building a "pure" Kimball style dimensional data warehouse you should be able to do this using OWB. I have architected such a DW in the past using only OWB, so I am speaking from experience.
    If on the other hand you are planning to implement an Inmon style CIF, if your requirements includes an operational data store (ODS), or if you for any other reason anticipate that you are going to be doing a lot of ER modeling, then I would not recommend using the current release of OWB for modelling. (Note however that there are significant improvements to the modelling capabilities in the Paris release of OWB, so this may change in the future)
    The advantage of improved maintainability when using a single tools needs to be weighted against the improved functionality if you choose a combination of the two. In the "two tool" scenario strict development and deployment routines need to be enforced to avoid that the model in Designer comes out of sync with the metadata in OWB. (Consider the effect of a developer making a change to a table definition in OWB and deploying it directly to the database without updating the model in Designer.)
    Hope this helps.

  • Problem getting DB Link to work with Warehouse Builder ...

    Warehouse builder has a new Module wizard that attempts
    to create a database link to a source Metadata Data Dictionary.
    When I enter the DB link parameters after selecting 'New DB
    Link'
    I get a successful confirmation however when I try to click
    on the 'Next' button on the wizard window I get 'Connection
    Validation failed - the database link is incorrect'.
    How is it that I success in creating a link then it fails
    when I try to move to the next step in the wizard?
    I tried many different ways of creating db links that I have
    tested successfully but don't work within Warehouse Builder.
    My environment is simple, both my Oracle 8i and Warehouse
    Builder
    are on the same machine and installed in the same home
    directory.
    Any suggestions would be appreciated.

    Hi max7539! I recommend that you try setting up a new Wi-Fi connection to your phone on your camera from scratch, then see if the new app does not recognize the camera. After setting this up from scratch, does the Camera Connect app still not see the camera? If this is a time sensitive-matter, additional support options are available at Contact Us.  

  • Is workflow included in 10.2.0.4 warehouse builder?

    Hi there
    Is oracle workflow included within 10.2.0.4?
    From otherhelpful replies, I have learnt we need to install oracle 10.2.0.1 then the 10.2.04 patch to bring us up to 10.2.0.4.
    We need to run process flows so I understand we need oracle workflow.
    Is this included within the warehouse builder installs (both client and server or is it just a the server-side we would need to worry about?) or do we need separate installs for these?
    Does anyone know which versions of worklfow we would need for 10.2.0.4 in the event that separate installs are needed?
    Many Thanks

    Hi Patrick
    Thanks for the info.
    Just finished installing 10.2.0.1 on Windows client and the 10.2.0.4 patch on top of that.
    Can I assume I can ignore the bit in the readme below where it talks about the upgrade utility since we have yet to create our repository.
    Many Thanks
    5. Navigate to the appropriate execution directory under the Warehouse Builder home directory and run the upgrade utility. The specific file you should execute depends on the release of the Oracle Database you are running.
    For Windows, the .bat files are located under the win32 directory. If your Oracle Database is either 9iR2 or10gR1 run the following:
    owb home/owb/bin/win32/DTupg102to10204_10gR1.bat
    Or, if your Oracle Database is 10gR2 run the following:
    owb home/owb/bin/win32/DTupg102to10204_10gR2.bat
    For UNIX, the .sh files are located under the unix directory. If your Oracle Database is either 9iR2 or 10gR1, run the following:
    owb home/owb/bin/unix/DTupg102to10204_10gR1.sh
    Or, if your Oracle Database is 10gR2 run the following:
    owb home/owb/bin/unix/DTupg102to10204_10gR2.sh
    6. Enter the database connection information, the Warehouse Builder repository owner credentials, and the SYS user credentials.
    The upgrade utility proceeds to upgrade the Warehouse Builder objects associated with the selected repository owner.
    The upgrade utility logs any errors in the file owb home/owb/reposasst/upg/LOG.TXT. Note that you can ignore any creation errors reported due to objects already existing.
    DROP TABLE dataflow_dependency_t
    ERROR at line 1:
    ORA-00942: table or view does not exist

  • Warehouse Builder Browser Customization

    Hi,
    I user Oracle Warehouse Builder 11.2
    Is there the possibility to customize "Warehouse Builder Browser"? Styles, contents and so on...
    Thanks
    Regards,
    Luca

    I haven't seen anyone doing this, OWB is based on UIX which although had this capability wasn't exposed. You can build up custom reports using the public SQL views for the design and runtime repositories.
    Cheers

  • Warehouse builder example schemas

    Hi
    I have created warehouse builder repository own and during the creation i have added SH schema. I was expecting that i will be able to see its dimension, rule etc but nothing
    what are the other example schema i can add for practice
    thank
    regards
    Nick

    OK, a few quick points...
    1. Build a 'location' that can access the SH schema.
    2. In your OWB project, expand the Oracle database node and build an oracle database module...this module should ideally use the SH schema 'location' connector you just created.
    3. At this point you can import the SH data and objects into OWB through that database module.(import option).
    If what you want is to see real dimensions, and cubes (facts) that are already pre-built, go to the links that the poster above has mentioned (the oracle by example ones). In those pages, they will link to several different .MDL files you may import. These store metadata already for a pre-built project that allowes you to see mappings with real dimensions and cubes (facts).

  • Oracle Warehouse Builder Project Demo

    Can the OWB Project demo run on Oracle 9i Release 2 and Oracle 9i Warehouse Builder? If yes, are all the steps in OWBDemoGuide.doc similar? Thanks.

    I've got this to work by installing OWB 3i, then using the metadata upgrade wizard to upgrade the .mdl file to the OWB 9i format. It then installs ok (not sure if it runs though...)
    You'd probably get a better/quicker reply posting to the Business Intelligence > Oracle Warehouse Builder forum in future :-)
    cheers

  • Analytic Workspace Manager vs Warehouse Builder

    When is it best to use Analytic Workspace Manager over Warehouse Builder to create the OLAP? Please advise.

    We are using OWB to create OLAP because you have your metadata properly defined in the design repository of OWB from where you can deploy to different databases and schemas. We are also using OWB to create tables and other relational objects instead of using SQL Developer or Toad to do so.
    Nevertheless there are some restrictions when using OWB: You cannot create programs with OWB (e.g. for limiting access to certain objects), not all aggregation operators are supported (e.g. the weighted aggregation operators like WSUM are not supported by OWB), you cannot create models, ...
    If you come to these restrictions you could write "after-deployment scripts", i.e. you deploy your dimensions and cubes from OWB and let the scripts do what you could not model with OWB.
    Hope this helps!

  • 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.

    Please use this forum for asking product related questions, giving feedback, suggesting enhancements, reporting problems and requesting collateral.

    Bonjour "Etudiant from Tunisia",
    I'm not sure what you mean with "please give me the user/password".
    As far as I know there is no online OWB available where you could try out the product (if that is what you mean).
    If you would like to learn more about OWB, read online documentation or for instance the link that is provided in an earlier post in this thread.
    Otherwise simply install OWB and try it yourself. The Installation and Configuration Guide is clear enough even without much experience installing Oracle software, and the OWB User Guide provides some basic insight on working with OWB itself.
    Good luck, Patrick
    ps If people are still expecting what Igor mentioned when he started this forum ("Oracle Warehouse Builder (OWB) product management and development will monitor the discussion forum on regular basis"), don't count on it; fortunately the product itself has been around long enough now, there are quite some users that can share usable insights and/or drop some useful lines on the new threads... ;-)

  • OBISE1 Warehouse builder documentation

    Hi all,
    The installation of Oracle BI Standard Edition One, by default installs the WareHouse Builder. At the same time the Oracle installer create a set of schemas in the database (OWBREPOS_OWNER, OWBRT_SYS, ...).
    Anybody knows if there is some documentation that explains the aim of each schema and the necessary steps to start to work with warehouse builder once the OBISE1 installation is done?
    The documentation provided by oracle explain how to create the repositories (metadata & runtime) but there is not (I didn't find) documentation about this OBISE1 predefined installation with a detailed description of all components (DB & app).
    Thanks in advance,
    Victor.

  • Why Warehouse Builder

    If the source of all my data is an Oracle DB - data is replicated from different Oracle DB's into a single Oracle DB through shareplex replication(E of ETL is done),
    Q1) Will Warehouse builder be of any help if my data souce is just Oracle?
    Q2) Will Warehouse builder help me in doing the T and L OF ETL?
    Q3) How is warehousebuilder better than using normal pl/sql?

    I am glad to see some independent responses to this question already. The question of hand-coding vs automated code-generation surfaces periodically from users, but you will find that the industry has moved on from that debate years ago, i.e there is a consensus that the advantages of code generation outweigh the disadvantages many times over. You can easily find vendor independent validation of this in press, analyst reports and expert opinions. For example here is a expert panel discursion in DM Review http://www.dmreview.com/article_sub.cfm?articleId=7198 Note that the only disadvantage mentioned is the high prices of some of the competing ETL products. This is not applicable to Oracle Warehouse Builder, which remains one of the most affordable products in this market.
    Amongst OWB-specific collateral on advantages over hand-coding, take a look at this white paper http://otn.oracle.com/products/warehouse/pdf/business_introduction_to_warehouse_builder.pdf On pages 7 and 8 there are tables listing each area where OWB excels over hand-coding. To summarize this in a few words, by using Warehouse Builder you gain productivity in both initial design and deployment as well as in subsequent change management and operational control of your data warehouse. In the process you get the most optimized, debuggable and auditable code.
