ODI 11g DbLink - Random Behavior

Hello,
I am facing quite a strange problem in ODI11.1.1.5 version.
Very recently the backend db was upgraded to a new Oracle DB Patch:11.2.0.3.2.
Few of my ODI Jobs has DB Links (LKMs). Now, When I execute them sometimes the Jobs are failing (frequently) and sometimes they are just passing fine(very rarely).
ALL the Jobs were running absolutely fine in the previous Oracle DB version
Error: TNS could not resolve the identifier
I had done lot of modulations:
1. TNS names now point to the new Oracle Home
2. I had ckecked the Host file and its fine, as well
3. The TNSnames.ora is fine with all the server informations
4. I had created an agent, as well with the new Server details so that my new agent points to the new server...
One thing I donot get is: why would the jobs fail and pass frequently..! There's no consistency at all... Failure is though quite often..!!
Is there a cause that we have some ODI system registry which has both the Old and new DB infos so ODI is behaving randomly...? Or is there is a solution to this..?
Any input is greatly appreciated..!!
Thanks!

ODI 11g SCD@ IKM is not updating End Time and Flag

I am implementing this IKM from Oracle ODI 11g and after executing it inserts a new row/dimension [which is correct] but sets the flag indicator for old and new ros both to '1' and Ending Timestamp value is not set for old row [I was expecting the ending timestamp will be updated ot todays timestamp but not happening]. I follwed all the steps mentioend in SCD2 [in this forum] and made the column behaviour to appropirate SCD Behavior. I do not have any "Update Row on change" but all the details are "Add row on change" apart from Starting Timestamp, ending timestamp and Current Indicator flag.
Can any one help me with this issue? Please let me know what details you need to debug or make analyze it.
Thank you and appreciate in advance for your help

I guess that is correct. 'historize old rows' was missing in my SCD2 [I have copied it from Oracle SCD2 and might have removed that command [??] But after your response, I checked and used the original SCD2 and it's working after fixing few issues with End Date in my data. Thanks .
'Mav (watch TopGun?)' ofcourse Yeah!!

Load Plan and empty variables on ODI 11G

Hi everyone,
I am working with ODI 11g (11.1.1.7.0) and I want to setup a variable with the Load Plan, however I am not able to update and retrieve the variable value inside of a case that is always keeping the initial value. Even the operation history shows the variable value empty. Have you ever used Load plan and noticed this strange behavior?
Regards,
Angelo

Okay let me try to help you on this.
Oracle Data Integrator agents process each scenario execution instance as a session. Each session exists in the agent as a separate thread of the agent Java process.
When a scenario is executed on an agent, the agent creates a session in the repository that corresponds to this scenario's instance. The agent reads each task of this session from the repository, processes it, and writes the result - the return code, message and tasks metrics such as the duration or number of rows processed - into the repository.
Hence multiple session multiple thread.
Hope you are clear now.
Thanks.

Can we preview data after RKM in SAP in ODI 11g

can we able to right click and view data in models after reverse engineering in SAP in ODI 11g ??
Edited by: Drona on Mar 16, 2012 1:06 PM

No we cannot preview the data as SAP connection is made using Jco adapter.
We can only preview the data for data servers which are connected using jdbc.

Query Regarding Updation/Migration of ODI 10g To ODI 11g.

Hi All,
Currently I am using ODI 10g Version & Repositories ( Work & Master) have been installed on Oracle database version "Oracle Database 10g Enterprise Edition Release 10.2.0.4.0 - 64bi"
We are thinking to migrate from ODI 10g to ODI 11g Version 11.1.1.5 & i have some queries which are metioned below.
1. Can we install ODI 11g Version 11.1.1.5 version with Repositories ( Work & Master) on Oracle Database 10g Enterprise Edition Release 10.2.0.4.0 - 64bi" or do i need to upgrade my database version to 11G?.
2. If yes then, Can i upgrade or use exting Repositoires ( 10g one) for ODI 11g OR i have to create new Repositoires & move/migrate the objects of 10G repositories as mentioned in the Oracle installation doc.
3. Currently I am using OBIEE 10g for reposrting purpose & if i switch to ODI 11g , Do i need to use OBIEE 11g?

refer http://docs.oracle.com/cd/E23943_01/upgrade.1111/e12642/tasklist.htm#CIHGIDFG
2. If yes then, Can i upgrade or use exting Repositoires ( 10g one) for ODI 11g OR i have to create new Repositoires & move/migrate the objects of 10G repositories as mentioned in the Oracle installation doc.No need to create new repositories. You just upgrade them. But you need to takecare of certain things as you are a 10g user. Refer below link for the prerequisite
http://docs.oracle.com/cd/E23943_01/upgrade.1111/e12642/prevusers.htm
3. Currently I am using OBIEE 10g for reposrting purpose & if i switch to ODI 11g , Do i need to use OBIEE 11g?Not clear about the question ?

Error when exporting to flat file in ODI 11g

This works ok in ODI 10g. I'm using IKM SQL to File Append on Windows Server 2008 R2
Getting the following error when exporting to a flat file in ODI 11g: ODI-40406: Bytes are too big for array
I've seen a couple of threads like this on the forum, but I've never seen an answer to the problem.

Problem is with the difference in behaviour for the IKM SQL to File Append KM between 10g and 11g.
Our 10g target file datastore had a mixture of fixed string and numeric columns. Mapping from the source to target was simple one to one column mapping. It generated the desired fixed format flat file; numerics were right adjusted with embedded decimal point and leading spaces. Each numeric column in the generated flat file occupied the exact space allocated to it in the layout. This gave the desired results, even though documentation for the 10g IKM states that all columns in the target must be string.
When we converted to 11g and tried to run this interface, it generated an error on the "numeric" columns because it was wrapping them in quotation marks. The result column was being treated as string, and it was larger than the defined target once it acquired those quotation marks.
In order to get 11g to work, I had to change all the numeric columns in the target data store to fixedstring 30. I then had to change the mapping for these numeric columns to convert them to right adjusted character strings (i.e. RIGHT(SPACE(30) + RTRIM(MyNumericColumn),30).
Now it works.

DATE Format Error in ODI-11g(11.1.1.3)

I am using ETL transformations in ODI-11g. There's a dominant issue regarding date formattings when I map an ODI variable (storing date) with a TGT column(datatype=date) mappings.
In all the src-tgt mappings I am formatting the date by using TO_DATE() functions. But still getting the error:
"ORA-01830: date format picture ends before converting entire input string".
A point to Note: The same ETL in other env are ruuning fine but in my new dev env it's giving this date error.
I had checked with the DBA folks and they confirmed they set equal DATE settings in all the env.
The ODI Variable is defined as an "Alphanumeric".
Tx Used: #BUSINESS_CURRENT_DT=TO_DATE('Date','YYYY-MM-DD')
Require some urgent advice...Please let me know

Hi,
W store name-value pair in the Control table from where we exctract our data. Both (param name and param value) are varchars.
Well this looks pretty strange in 11g! Here's what we found out...
If you are trying to retrieve a date variable by using TO_DATE() in the refresh query the ODI Java driver (JDK 1.6) would call java.sql.timestamp and gracefully attach HH:MI:SS.NS along with the date (YYYY-MM-DD HH:MI:SS.NS). My target ia a date always..!
So, when I do: TO_DATE('20101010','YYYY-MM-DD) in the refresh query ODI stores it as '2010-10-10 00:00:00.0'
For this the Load always fails as Oracle would not be able to interpret a timestamp by suing TO_DATE()
The Java driver does this damage. However, it may be wise to store as a timestamp rather as a date if in case u do a Data capture and want the exact time credentials.
Unfortunately not a req, as of now for us so I had to chop-off the timestamp..!
Let me know if you find any other details...
Thanks.!

ODI 11g : JMS Queue XML Data Server creation

Hi Everybody,
I am facing a problem while i am trying to create a JMS Queue XML data server in ODI 11g. I have
the following details of the queue.
QueueManager=xxx;
TransportType=1;
HostName=ab.cde.fe.com;Port=77777;
Channel=CLIENT.TO.xxx1
destination name : SU.BH.RAJY.OTI.UPDATE_ITEM_RESPONSE.01
user : xyz
password : 123
I have sussefully created an jms datasouce in weblogic name 'eis/jms/abc' and also I have successfully
retrived the xml message from queue in BPEL
(using a jms adapter where
JMS Provider : Third Party,
Jms Provider Jndi Name -eis/jms/abc,
Operation name : consume_message,
destinamtion name is queue:///SU.BH.RAJY.OTI.UPDATE_ITEM_RESPONSE.01?targetClient=1).
But the new reqirement is to retive the xml data in ODI using "JMS Queue XML data server".I have tried
several ways(reading from internet) but failed to configure physical dataserver and reverse the xml message.
Also failed to understand properly the oracle post (http://docs.oracle.com/cd/E21764_01/integrate.1111/e12644/jms_xml.htm#CHDFCFBI).
Speically this portion "JNDI URL: <JMS_RESOURCE>?d=<DTD_FILE>&s=<SCHEMA>&JMS_DESTINATION=<JMS_DESTINATION_NAME>.".
What will be the "JMS_RESOURCE" in my case.
How can I configure JMS Queue XML?
Please help!
Note : I don't have the XML message structure of the Queue(also DTD file). So , I have to reverse it.
Thanks & Regards,

Default Data Server for Hypersonic SQL in ODI 11g

Hi All,
I installed ODI 11g 11.1.1.6.0 for Win 7 with 10g DB R2 and WLS 10.3.5 successfully without any issues.
Created DEV_ODI_REPO Repository also without any issues.
Created Master Repository snpm1 and Work Repository as snpw1.
Created the Agents (Physical and Logical) and tested successfully.
Created the data servers for respective technologies
1) Technology Oracle -
    Data Server - ORACLE_ORCL_LOCAL
    Physical Schemas - SALES_DEV & SALES_PROD and
    Logical Schema as ORACLE_ORCL_LOCAL_SALES
2) Technology FILE -
    Data Server - FILE_GENERIC
    Physical Schema - FILE_GENERIC.E:/oracle/Middleware/Oracle_ODI1/oracledi/demo/file
    Logical Schema - FILE_DEMO_SRC
3) Technology - XML
     Data Server - XML FILE
     Physical Schema - GEO_D
    Logical Schema - GEO_DIM
4) Technology - Hypersonic SQL
     Data Server - HSQL   (Is this the correct name or some other name is recommended ? )
     Physical Schema - HSQL_LOCALHOST_20001_Default and HSQL_LOCALHOST_20001_Default
    Logical Schema - HSQL_DEMO_SRC and HSQL_DEMO_TARG
All the Mappings are done properly using Development & Production context for Physical and Logical Schemas.
I am able to create the Models for Oracle, FIle and XML with successful Reverse Engineering (standard with development context )
with all the data displayed correctly.
The issue starts here
The Main issue is for Hypersonic SQL where I am not able to get the Reverse Engineering.
Technology - Hypersonic SQL I have defined the data server as HSQL
Is this correct data server or some other name for data server is suggested ?
I am able to start the startdemo.bat file successfully opening the 3 dos prompt windows as
a) Oracle DI Demo - Repository Server
b) Oracle DI Demo - Source Server
c) Oracle DI Demo - Target Server
Later I make entries on the JDBC tab od HSQL - Data Server as
JDBC Driver : org.hsqldb.jdbc.JDBCDriver
JDBC Url : jdbc:hsqldb:hsql://localhost
Test Connection - ok with successful connection.
Prior to this I already run the script created schemas and inserted data to the SRC_ tables in my 10g Database as
ORDERS - containing the Tables as SRC_CITY, SRC_CUSTOMER, SRC_PRODUCT, SRC_REGION.....
In the Designer I create a new Model as HSQL_SRC
Technology - Hypersonic SQL
Logical Schema - HSQL_DEMO_SRC as defined earlier in logical schema.
Reverse Engineer Tab - Selected as Standard   Context selected as Development from drop down list.
When I right click on HSQL_SRC model for reverse engineer, it executes, however it does not display any tables inserted
as shown for ORDERS Schema.
Please correct me where I am wrong in giving the name for data server ? or some other place.
Thanks
Ajaz

Hi,
according to docs
http://docs.oracle.com/cd/E23943_01/integrate.1111/e12644/hypersonic_sql.htm#ODIKM590
i see
JDBC Driver: org.hsqldb.jdbcDriver
JDBC URL: jdbc:hsqldb:hsql://<host>:<port>
could you modify
JDBC Driver : org.hsqldb.jdbc.JDBCDriver
JDBC Url : jdbc:hsqldb:hsql://localhost
according to docs?
Thanks

Do I need to install odi-public-ws.aar for ODI 11g?

Hello -
Prior to ODI 11g - used to upload odi-public-ws.aar to Axis2 on Application server. Starting in 11g do we still need to do that? I was told JAX-WS takes care of that. If that's the case - what URL is used to call the ODIInvoke from SOA? Is it still that same in ODI 11g as well? http://localhost:8888/axis2/services/OdiInvoke?wsdl ???????????
What I'm trying to do is integrate ODI 11g & SOA 11g(BPEL). I want to call a ODI Interface IN BPEL. Unsure how it works in ODI 11g?
Any pointers would be helpful
Thanks

Unable to install the Demonstration Environment with ODI 11g

Hi,
Can someone please help me with Demonstration environment installation with ODI 11g on a windows system.
I have downloaded the zipped file from the OTN site.
I am unable to understand the installation steps in the user guide.Posting them for your reference.
"To manually install the Demonstration environment, do the following:
Unzip oracledi-demo.zip in the ODI_HOME folder.
Verify that the JAVA_HOME environment variable is set and contains the path of a JVM suitable for Oracle Data Integrator.
If this variable is not set correctly, set it to a valid java machine location.
For example:
On UNIX operating systems:
setenv JAVA_HOME/usr/local/java
On Windows operating systems:
Set the JAVA_HOME variable graphically "
Regards,
Lovey Saxena

Hi;
Did you try to start installation? Your Java_Home could be avaliable on your env settings, so you dont need to set this for installation. If its fails please try to use this syntax:
Set JAVA_HOME=C:\xxx
