ODI Data Quality metabase Load connections

Hi Guys
I am trying to get started with ODI data quality and profiling. I would like to connect from the ODI metabase manager load connections to the database on my local machine using the following
username: thiza
Password:
url:10.12.12.12:1521:EDW
The problem is ODI metabase manager requirs tns name. I tried to put the following string on the tns but still not working
EDW=(DESCRIPTION =(ADDRESS = (PROTOCOL = TCP)(HOST = tvictor-za)(PORT = 1521))(CONNECT_DATA =(SERVER = DEDICATED)(SERVICE_NAME = EDW)))
Can anyone give step by step on how to connect to oracle database from ODI metabase manager(load connections)
any help will be highyl appreciated.
Thanks
Umapada
I tried to put the following string on the tns but still not working
only "EDW" in place of TNS Name in metabase administrator. But when testing the connection at the time of creating entity, it is saying "Please wait, Validating Connection" but this wait never ends and continues for hour.

Seems following shared library is missing. Dont know how to get it from Oracle?
Has anybody found this problem earlier.

If you are trying to connect to an oracle box. Try to do this. Worked for me.
Go to add loader connections.
And instead of pasting the entire string. Try to use only the name of the TNS.
In your case this would be EDW.
Once added save your metabase connections and go into the data quality and profiling part.
Type in the name of the metabase u recently created, along with the user name and password.
It should log you on. Worked for me. I have tried a lot of oracle connections. But the only problem for me is that i have never been able to configure a ODBC loader connections with SQL server.
Hope this helps.

Problem launching ODI Data Quality/Profiling in Vista

Hello
I am having a weird problem with Oracle Data Integrator installation in Vista. Hope somebody could help me.
I have installed ODI (10.1.3.5.0) along with Data Quality and Profiling. The installation was successful, however, while trying to launch Data Quality/Metabase Server etc I am getting an error: "admin.exe is not found"/"discovery.exe not found". Moreover, bin directory under oracledq directory is empty. I was just wondering, there must be "something" at least in the bin directory if the installation was error free!
Could you please let me know if anything is wrong with the installation or is that a Vista problem? Do I need to install anything else as a pre-requisite?
Your assistance is much appreciated..
Shibaji Gupta

Hello Rathish
Thanks for the info; First of all, please let me know where from shall I copy those files?
In my case the "/oracledq/bin" directory is "just" empty!
As the installation did not raise any problem, I can probably guess that all the .dll files (if any) are correctly installed, except for the "bin" directory contents. Is there a way to copy the entire bin directory content? Not sure how Oracle performs the installation. If you could help me from your experience.
Any way, thanks again for the assistance. Would like to try all available options.

ODI Data Quality - Relationship Linker Process

Hi All,
I have been trying to use the relationship linker process in the ODI data quality interface with limited success.
My Problem:
The process tab in the relationship linker asks for two inputs. 1) Attribute containing record type & 2) Attribute Containing window key
The attribute containing window key is pre-filled to be window_key_01 (window key) that you can set up in the prior step. I am not able to determine which exact field i should be specifying in the "ATTRIBUTE CONTAINING RECORD TYPE" column.
Things that i have tried out:
I have used the following column for attribute containing record type
1) PR_BUSNAME_RECODED01
2) US_POSTAL_MATCH_INPUT_AREA
3) WINDOW_KEY_01
4) PR_ STREET_NAME
The window key i am using is as follows
1) Business name - 5 chars( first character + subsequent non-repeating consonants of the business name)
2) State Name - 2 chars
3) City Name - 5 chars (first character + subsequent consonants)
4) postal code - 5 chars (numerics only)
Guidance Needed
1) Which attribute should be selected for "ATTRIBUTE CONTAINING RECORD TYPE" column. If possible, can you also include the reason to use that attribute?
2) In the advances features window of the relationship linker process, the linking rules are also not very clear. I am still trying to figure out what lev2_matched_in_lev1_matched and other similar options correspond to.
The help files do not explain this at length.
I am having some difficulty in understanding the relationship linker process and I have tried out many options.
If any ODI data quality guru's or pro's can help me out with this. I'll be really grateful.
Thanks,
Chapanna

Hi,
thanks for your reply.
Yes I got the second connection; the question was about the procedure described in the manual.
The solution I found is a trick also because the way described in docs is not limited to a second repository but could be used also for several entries.
Because I am trying develop knowledge on ODI I would solve any possible unexpected behavior. Do you see in your setup the entry described in docs?
Taking a look at the Store the ODQ is quoted 70,000 $ / processor which is one reason more I would expect customer wanting to be able to follow the procedure depicted in the documentation or being removed from there (I try to answer questions that someone could ask to me).
Thanks

Odi-data quality and data profiling

Would odi-ee license be sufficient to use,odi data quality and data profiling.
We plan to use odi to migrate data from legacy databases to oracle 11g data base.
Do we have to use odi data quality and profiling.

Hi after 11.1.1.3 version of ODI release, oracle no longer supports ODP/ODQ which is a trillium software product and this not owned by oracle. Oracle is recommending the usage OEDQ for quality purposes. It's better if you could spend time on OEDQ rather than trying to learn and implement ODP/ODQ in ODI

Use of Trace key in transformer and parser of ODI Data Quality

Hi All,
Can someone explain to me the significance of Trace key in the transformer and parser processes (modules) in the ODI data profiling and quality part.
I have read all the documentation present of the ODI dataquality getting started and the user guide. I was not able to find any answer.
It would be great anyone can answer this question.
Thanks in advance,
Chapanna

Hi Julien,
The Trace key option is present in the "transformer" and "transformer address reconstructor" steps when executing an ODQ Name and Address Quality project.
The purpose of this trace key is to help developer to easily debug and identify records that have incorrectly transformed. A primary key/surrogate key is usually chosen as the trace key to facilitate the debugging process by identifying the exact record.
Thanks,

Error When Creating Entities From Loader Connection In Oracle Data Quality

I want to create a Loader Connection to an external data source.
I Logged on the Metabase Manager and created a new loader connection with type as 'Oracle'.
In the parameters it asked for a TNS Name.I gave the TNS of the external data source to which i want to connect from 'tnsnames.ora' file.
After that I logged on to ODQ and tried creating an Entity using create entity wizard but ODQ cannot connect to the data source using the above created Loader Connection.
It shows below failure message:
Authentication failed. couldn't load library "C:/OraHome_1/oracledq/metabase_server/lib/pkgOracleAdapter/pkgOracleAdapter.dll": could not find specified procedure
I had my ODQ metabase and ODQ GUI running on Windows.
Hope i am clear.if i am making mistake in above steps please let me know.
Waiting for reply.

It seems that you are trying to use the file as your staging areas. Hyperion LKM extracts essbase data into a DB staging area which can then be used by your file IKM to load it into file.
You need to use a RDBMS for your staging area.

Oracle Data Quality: how to load fixed file

Hello to all,
I need to load several fixed files in Oracle Data Quality.
As far as I understand from the documentation, I think I need to use a "Cobol" Loader Connection, so I created one and put all my files under the "Data directory".
I don't know what I need to put under "Schema directory".
Then I tried to create an entity from my Cobol Connection, and no entity is listed.
I have also some problems with the docs, because the pages about Cobol Copybook/Fixed connection, etc. seems missing from the documentation I find around.
I followed the tutorial and I think this is a really interesting product, and I need to test it on fixed file as soon as possible.
Thank you,
Andrea

Hi Andrea,
In your Cobol Loader, you need to define the cobol file extensions (eg. cbl) under data extensions field. Then restart the ODQ GUI and the entities should appear.
The documentation bugs you face will be ironed out in the next release.
Do tell me if this helps

ODI-1228: Task SrcSet0 (Loading) fails on the target ORACLE connection

Hi all. I am using ODI for the first time. Trying to import a flat file data into Oracle table.
Flat file has 4 columns Empno,Ename,Deptno,Salary [2 rows]
so is the Target Table in Oracle [All are VARCHAR2 data type] --Empty table
I am using these KMs: CKM Oracle , IKM SQL CONTROL APPEND, LKM FILE TO SQL.
When I execute this Interface, it fails with the following error message:
ODI-1228: Task SrcSet0 (Loading) fails on the target ORACLE connection [Connection_Name]
Caused By: java.sql.SQLSyntaxErrorException: ORA-00904: : invalid identifier
I checked the Code and Source Code is null , Target Code is: Create Table schema.Load_{table_name} ( )
With no columns in it.
Can anyone help? I am using Oracle ODI 11G (11.1.1)
Thanks in advance

Hi,
if i remember well ( i haven't ODI opened) LKM FILE TO SQL. needs to have all mapping done into staging area. Click on a column, check Staging Area symbol (hammer), save and re-execute.
Remember to check that your mapping is enabled (just click on a column, first checkbox in property inspector)
If it doesn't work please make some screenshot or at least post your execution code.
Let us know

Sql Server Connectivity issue with ODI Data Profiler

Hi all,
To profile data from SQL Server Data source, i had created a ODBC connection(using Windows NT authentication) in the system and it was successful. Created a connection with Type ODBC connection in Loader Connections along with System name, Port No and DSN Name. But while trying to connect the database it is throwing an error as Authentication Failed. Please guide me.

ODI's DP does not support the use of sourcing data on the ODBC data source. You must extract to a file, and use the file as the input.

DATA QUALITY connection on INGRES

Post Author: ryefrancis
CA Forum: Data Quality and Data Insight
Hi,
Would like to ask if any you guys have any idea on the error prompt "NO COLUMNS SHOULD BE RETRIEVED FOR THIS TABLE. A POSSIBLE REASON IS THAT YOU DO NOT HAVE SELECT PERMISSION FOR THIS TABLE OR DATABASE"?
The database being used is INGRES. We already tried to update its
security settings and Grant Access still it won't establish a
connection.
But when we try using SQL statements instead of SQL HELPER we could get some reports.
Hope you could have any suggestions and solutions to this problem.
Good Day!!!

Ingres is not supported for Data Insight however if you will send some additional information we may be able to check if anything obvious is missing.
Two items that may help are the connection information from the Data Insight repository (iqi_connection table) for this source and screen shots of the populated connection dialogs.

Data Quality - Failed to create connection to MDR.

Hi All,
I have installed Data Quality 11.7.2 on windows 2003 server using SQL 2005 (Both SQL 2005 server and Data Quality are in the same server) , The install was successful. But when I try to Open 'Data Quality Project Architect' it throws an error
Failed to create connection to MDR.
Driver error messgage = qodbc_mssql:
Unable to connect, Database error message =] [microsoft][odbc sql server driver]
[ tcp/ip sockets] sql server does not exist or access denied
I checked the ODBC connection and tested it successfully too.
I am not able to pass through the 'Meta Data Repository Connection' as its failing in 'Setup SQL connection option'
Any help is appreciated !!!
Thanks
Ranjit Krishnan

Hi Paul,
Thanks for you reply, OBDC connection was created under System DSN, also tired the users DSN option too, but did not work.
Recreated the ODBC connection many times still no luck.
The 'Project Architect' client and the MDR (SQL 2005 Server) are on the same machine.
Thanks

ODI Data Profiling and Data Quality

Hi experts,
Searching about ODI features for data profiling and data quality I found (I think) many ... extensions? for the product, that confuse me. Cause I think there are at least three diferents ways to do data profiling and data quality:
In first place, I found that ODI has out of the box features for data profiling and data quality, but, acording to the paper, this features are too limited.
The second way I found was the product Oracle Data Profiling and Oracle Data Quality for Oracle Data Integrator 11gR1 (11.1.1.3.0) that is in the download page of ODI. Acording to the page, this product extends the existing inline Data Quality and Data profiling features of ODI.
Finally, the third way is Oracle Enterprise Data Quality that is another product that can be integrated to ODI.
I dont know if I understood good my alternatives. But, in fact, I need a general explanation of what ODI offer to do Data Quality and Data profiling. Can you help me to understand this?
Very thanks in advance.

Hi after 11.1.1.3 version of ODI release, oracle no longer supports ODP/ODQ which is a trillium software product and this not owned by oracle. Oracle is recommending the usage OEDQ for quality purposes. It's better if you could spend time on OEDQ rather than trying to learn and implement ODP/ODQ in ODI
