New Features in OWB 11g vs. OWB 9.2

Hi
Can you share what are the new features/functionalites present in OWB 11g as compared to OWB 9.2?
Thanks

... 11g R1 has the same functionality like 10gR2 >= 10.2.0.4.
In 11g R2 BETA you can use all databases (like Data Integrator) to run the mappings, not only oracle. And you can deploy the mappings as web services.

What new features in Oracle 11g can Apps 11.5.10.2 benefit from ?

hi there,
we run Apps 11.5.10.2 on Solaris 10. I'm thinking of upgrading the RDBMS version from 10.2.0.4 --> 11.1.0.6 and I was wondering if anyone can reccomend some good features within the new 11g database to make use of.
I'm aware of :
- advanced compression
- database replay (real application testing).
Does anything else spring to mind ?
many thanks
Cameron.

New Features for OWB 9.2

Mark Van De Wiel mentioned yesterday in this forum that OWB 9.2 is now available at http://otn.oracle.com/software/products/warehouse/content.html . From the version number it would appear that this is a major new release, and it's a separate install rather than a patch on OWB9.0.4.
Would Mark, Igor or Shauna be able to give us some background on the new features in this new release? From quickly looking at the release notes they would appear to be;
- Correlated Commit (committing changes across all targets uniformly)
- Ability to create public database links
- Direct PEL (removes the need for temporary tables when exchanging partitions)
- Enhanced Flat File Support
- Mapping Debugger
- Incorporation of ETL functionality previously found in standalone Pure*Integrate
- Metadata change management using the OWB GUI rather than using OMB*Plus
- Multiple Name and Address Software Providers
- Name/Address Wizard
- New Public API for OWB
- Better support for Real Application Clusters
- Advanced Repository Security and Audit options
- Support for MITI metadata bridges to third-party products
It would be good to know the thinking behind these and what areas they think will be particularly of interest to us. Also, has anything been removed or changed that we've got used to using?
Also, any day now (fingers crossed) the patch to make the OLAP functionality in OWB9.0.4 work (the 9i 9.2.0.3.x patch?) should be out - will this work with OWB9.2 as well?
Many thanks

Hi Mark,
While I'm not in your list of people to respond I figure I give it a go anyways :-)
The list of features you mentioned is a nice summary. One of the main release themes is data quality as you noticed. Apart from changes to the name&address functionality we also added the advanced matching and merging into this release. So you can use custom rules to match and merge data. This also allows you to do things like householding for customer data records. In essence we have now completed the integration of Pure*Integrate into Warehouse Builder.
The mapping debugger is another big thing. This allow you to walk through your mappings and see in detail what happes to the data.
The metadata change management is now in the UI. THis means there is now object level version management in Warehouse Builder via the UI. You can also compare versions and get a difference report.
As you mentioned there are a number of smaller and bigger features next to this. The idea for this release is to make OWB a top Data Quality product and allow you to do your ETL and DQ in one tool. Apart from that we have added usability features (debugger, N&A wizard) and we have added some features to solve specific problems.
Especially the corelated commit is interesting in that respect. You can now, in a map with multiple targets control the commit, and choose to either commit all targets or none, or commit them individually (current behavior).
As usual there is a lot more, as this is indeed a major release. Keep an eye on OTN for more collateral regarding the new features. We are currently updating the site to reflect the new stuff.
On the OLAP patch, both 9.0.4 and 9.2 will work equally well with the OLAP patch (when it is available). In 9.2 we added some small thing around composites. More about that when there is an OLAP patch to test this one on in a customer site.
I hope this answered the question, if not let me know.

Dynamic flat file loading in OWB 11g

Hi,
I'm working on owb 11g, i need to load multiple files into tables having the same file name where only the date and file sequence number changes. The files are of format:
FileA_2009_1
FileA_2009_2
FileA_2009_3,etc....
How can i dynamically change the files and load to one table. Can this be achieved through external tables or sql* loader? Is there any such new feature in OWB 11g?
Rgds
Rex

Hi
SQLLoader mappings have the data filename as an optional input parameter (a fully qualified name can be passed). So you could have a loop to get the names and call the mapping. If it was External table you'd have to do an alter table to set the data file. If the filenames are static you can configure the ext table and mapping with the names.
Cheers
David

Error VLD-1108 while validating the mapping in owb 11g

Hi All,
I am using owb 11.1.0.7.0. I am new to owb 11g. I am getting the following error while validating the mapping
error: VLD-1108 . Operator requires more input or output connections in order to generate mapping code.
I am using a function as operator and mapping it with the table.
Please tell me the solution for this. Its urgent
Thanks in advance,
Siva

Hi,
u must be using a procedure or table function that is called in the mapping for execution. When writing the function u would have specified 3 inputs but in the mapping u would have given only 2. check the number of inputs and make sure they match.

HOW TO INSTALL ODI 11g / OWB 11g IN WINDOWS SERVER 2008 R2 (64 BITS)

Hi everybody,
I have a serious problem.
Last week we buy a new server with Windows Server 2008 Std. R2 x64, for a new project. I tried to install the RDBMS Oracle 11g R2 (x64) without problems, but when i try execute the "Design Center" contents in OWB, show me the error: 0xc0000018
Then, I´m thinking in install Oracle Data Integrator to solution it, but i`ve read that neither can install on 64 bits system... This is true?
Somebdoy knows how can I install OWB 11g / ODI 11g in a Windows 2008 Server 64 bits?
Thanks & Regards!

OWB 11G Will have been installed with the database, it now ships with 11G.
Check you are on a supported platform for design centre using the certification matrix.

Missing objects when created a OWB 11g owner/user

h4. i created a new owb owner and user using repository, but apparently no objects (tables,views,synonyms,function and etc) has been "imported" or copy from OWBSYS to the owner.
h4. - Creation of OWNER is successful using repository
h4. - Adding a USERS is successful
h4. how can i copy or create a new OWB owner that has a objects that is same with OWBSYS? help please im new with 11g
h4. version: 11.2.0.1.0

Hi,
Starting from OWB 11g all the metadata and audit information will be owned by OWBSYS user unlike OWB10g where in the metadata and audit information
used to be created under respective repository owner.
There will be only one OWB repository schema (i.e OWBSYS)per database
Initially there won't be any objects under OWBSYS. Once you create a new workspace then all the objects will be created under OWBSYS.
And the new owner will not have any objects, all the objects will be owned by OWBSYS.
The workspace owner user is used to adminster the workspace and users.
This is correct behaviour. No need bother about this. So no need to import any objects under this database user.
The objects i referred previously are OWB design objects like mappings,transformations,modules,projects.
If you want to import/create the OWB design objects you have to connect to the OWB design center and import the objects using MDL utility or create new objects.
The metadata about these design objects will be stored in the tables owned by OWBSYS.

Pnreddy

Help with Understanding Workspaces in OWB 11G

Hi
We are planning to upgrade a 10.1.0.3 repository to 10.1.0.4 via the upgrade scripts and then migrate the entire environment to a new server with an 11g database. Also we need to migrate a separate 10gr2 repository and target schemas to the same 11g database.
I have been reading the documentation and can see that the repository (OWBSYS) can be split into separate workspace owners that you can assign users to.
I have looked at the Oracle tutorial for OWB 11g and can see it asks for a Workspace Owner User Name and also a Workspace Name. What is the difference between these? If you have multiple Workspaces do these appear as separate schemas on the database and, if so, do these have the Workspace Owner User Name or the Workspace Name?
In our 10.1.0.3 database we have a design repository A, and a separate runtime repository with a runtime owner and runtime user schema.
In the 10GR2 database we have a design repository B (containing design and runtime metadata).
I am thinking of creating one 11G Workspace for the 10.1.0.3 repository data and another workspace for the 10GR2 data. However, would the workspace owner user names need to be the same i.e.'A' and 'B'?
Any advice would be appreciated.
Thanks
GB

This is what I've learned so far:
You're repository will always be on the OWBSYS schema. So if you have 2 repositories and plan do put them both on the same database then you'll end up with 1 repository with 2 workspaces.
All the metadata is stored on the OWBSYS schema.
The workspace owner will be the user with most privileges on that workspace and can have a different name of the workspace.
You can add more users (besides the workspace owner) to any of the workspaces.
hope it helps... and please someone correct me if I'm wrong.

Error java.sql.exception when setting up repository for OWB 11g

Hey all,
I am encountering the following error on the last step of Repository Assistant, that is, while trying to set up the design repository in OWB 11g:

I am new to OWB so please let me know if I've left out any information that would help in figuring out why the installation is not completing.
Thanks.

The only thing I can think of in OWB 11g is that the main schema that is used, which is OWBSYS, wasn't fully installed or it doesn't have all the tables or views it needs or they weren't created properly with the cat_owb.sal script.
Something must not have been created right. I would try to stop all OWB services with the appropriate scripts in:
<your_owb_home>owb\rtp\sql
try the stop_service.sql script.
Then try to drop the users owbsys and whatever you might have created (if it exists) for a workspace owner user. Then clean up with:
<your_owb_home>\owb\UnifiedRepos\clean_owbsys.sql
After that it is back to the drawing board from the beginning. DO these steps again that you likely did in the first place:
1. create owbsys with:
<your_owb_home>\owb\UnifiedRepos\cat_owb.sql <tablespace_name>
2. Set the control center home with:
<your_owb_home>\owb\UnifiedRepos\reset_owbcc_home.sql <your_owb_home>
*pay attention to the case of the the OWB HOME you give as a variable to the above script. It needs to match the case of your real path.
3. Finally unlock owbsys.
4. look at <your_owb_home>\owb\bin\admin\ if the rtrepos.properties file size is at '0'. If it is for some reason, rename it to something else right now.
5. Then try to run the repository assistant again.

Upgrading to OWB 11g

We are planning to upgrade the database to 11g, currently on 10.2 and we are weighing the pros and cons of upgrading to OWB 11g as well currently on 10.2 . I see that OWB 11g is still in its first release.
I have some questions and hope you can answer/advise:
1) Should we consider going to OWB 11g release 1, or should we wait for a later release?
2) If we should consider upgrading to OWB 11g, what are the features that would make it worthwhile?
3) If we go to OWB 11g, should we upgrade before or after we upgrade the database to 11g? Is there any argument for upgrading both simultaneously?
4) If we decide to stay on OWB 10gR2, are there any drawbacks/concerns to upgrading the database to 11g?
Thanks in Advance
Suresh

Hi Suresh,
These question are hard to answer.
But my personal thinking is that unless you have some valid reason to go for 11g R1 do not.
Its in first release .So will be not be as stabilise as 10g R2.
You can check in this Forum queries regarding Upgradation
