ODI/OWB scripting question

Hi all,
I new to ODI and would appreciate some guidance. I have developing a substantial ETL environment using OWB(10g) and have now been directed to change it over to ODI(11g).
In OWB we had the OMB+ and TCL scripting capability to create and modify repository objects. Anything that could be created or modified in the GUI (such as OWB Mappings or Process Flows) could be done with OMB+ scripting. With this, I could perform mass changes to the mappings.
Does ODI support the same sort of design-time scripting capability? I understand that ODI uses Jython and Java, but so far, everything I have seen on these refers to run-time scripting. I would like to be able to create or modify Interfaces and Packages using the scripting API.
Can someone point me in this direction?
Thanks in advance,
Philip

Have a look at the groovy console in 11.1.1.6 there are some improvements that make scripting easier....

Quick SAP Script question New Page Print

Quick SAP Script question
I have added a new page to an existing SAP Script BUT only want it to print if a condition is true.
I need to do this from within the form as the print program is SAP Std.
Any idea how I can prevent the new page from printing?
i.e. I need the form NOT to call the new page if the condition is false. Is there a way of forcing an exit or stop from with in the form?

Hi,
To trigger a new page, there is script ediotr command NEW-PAGE.
so find where is that command is triggered and use the below code for trigger it on any specific condition....
if &condition& = 'True'
/* NEW-PAGE
elseif
/: NEW-PAGE
endif
so it means if condition is satisfied your new page will not work.. else it will...
Hope you got it...
Try this..
Best luck..

Error: Executing OWB Scripts Outside the OWB Tool

We aim to extract OWB scripts (ddls, pl/sql, etc) and run them outside of the OWB tool in Beta and Production.
Thus far, were able to execute ddls and compile OWB generated pl/sql procedures. Were encountering errors on all attempts to execute the pl/sql code outside of OWB.
Package created.
Package body created.
SQL> execute RECORDED_MEDIA_MAP;
BEGIN RECORDED_MEDIA_MAP; END;
ERROR at line 1:
ORA-06550: line 1, column 7:
PLS-00221: 'RECORDED_MEDIA_MAP' is not a procedure or is undefined
ORA-06550: line 1, column 7:
PL/SQL: Statement ignored
Based on previous discussions with Oracle Sales Rep., we were under the impression that this could be done.
Can OWB generated pl/sql execute outside of the tool? If so, what are the steps?
Thanks,
Carol-Ann

OWB generates mapping as package of procedures. This package has the only external procedure/function (depend on OWB version: 9.2.0.4 - function, prev. releases - procedure).
So, mapping that you have deployed could be executed by the following code (as for 9.2.0.4 version of OWB):
DECLARE
l_res NUMBER;
l_env WB_RT_MAPAUDIT.WB_RT_NAME_VALUES;
BEGIN
l_res := MAP_PACKAGE.MAIN(l_env);
END;

Scripting Question - Very Basic

Hello, I'm using the trial version of InDesign and am wondering if because it's the trial version that I can't load custom scripts from Adobe? I've downloaded and installed a Custom Calendar script [I can see the extracted files in/on my PC] but the app apparently doesn't see it. Any help you can offer is greatly appreciated. Thanks,

Thank you so much, you were spot on.

Quick script question

Hi all,
Could anyone advise me if i can add anything within - header('Location: http://www.mysite.co.uk/thankyou.html'); in the script below so as the page
re- directs back to the main index page after a few seconds ?
Thankyou for any help.
<?php
$to = '[email protected]';
$subject = 'Feedback form results';
// prepare the message body
$message = '' . $_POST['Name'] . "\n";
$message .= '' . $_POST['E-mail'] . "\n";
$message .= '' . $_POST['Phone'] . "\n";
$message .= '' . $_POST['Message'];
// send the email
mail($to, $subject, $message, null, '');
header('Location: http://www.mysite.co.uk/thankyou.html');
?>

I don't think I "gave" you that script. I might have corrected a problem with it, but I certainly didn't write the original script.
What you're using is far from perfect, but to suggest it would lay you open to MySQL injection attacks is ludicrous. For you to be prone to MySQL injection, you would need to be entering the data into a MySQL database, not sending it by email.
There is a malicious attack known as email header injection, which is a serious problem with many PHP email processing scripts. However, to be prone to email header injection, you would need to use the fourth argument of mail() to insert form data into the email headers. Since your fourth argument is null, that danger doesn't exist.
One thing that might be worth doing is checking that the email address doesn't contain a lot of illegal characters, because that's a common feature of header injection attacks. This is how I would tidy up your script:
<?php
$suspect = '/Content-Type:|Bcc:|Cc:/i';
// send the message only if the E-mail field looks clean
if (preg_match($suspect, $_POST['E-mail'])) {
header('Location: http://www.example.com/sorry.html');
exit;
} else {
$to = '[email protected]';
$subject = 'Feedback form results';
// prepare the message body
$message = 'Name: ' . $_POST['Name'] . "\n";
$message .= 'E-mail: ' . $_POST['E-mail'] . "\n";
$message .= 'Phone: ' . $_POST['Phone'] . "\n";
$message .= 'Message: ' . $_POST['Message'];
// send the email
mail($to, $subject, $message);
header('Location: http://www.example.com/thankyou.html');
exit;
?>
Create a new page called sorry.html, with a message along the lines of "Sorry, there was an error sending your message". Don't put anything about illegal attacks. Just be neutral.
By the way, when posting questions here, don't use meaningless subject lines, such as "Quick script question". If you're posting here, it's almost certain to be a question about a script. It doesn't matter whether it's quick. Use the subject line to tell people what it's about.

Update the TCL-version used by OWB Scripting OMB Plus

While implementing scripts under OMB Plus, I need to use/import some already existing TCL-libraries. This libraries need a TCL-version 8.2 or higher. But the TCL-version installed with the OracleWarehouseBuilder is 8.0.
How can I update the TCL-version used by OWB Scripting (OMB Plus)?
thanks

Hi
I would also like to know how to do this as on certain platforms some basic TCL commands don't work when run in scripts so upgrading the TCL version should hopefully fix this.
Thanks In Advance

Unique Script Questions-timed startup?

Hello All,
I am long time mac fanatic with some unusual script questions. I have a project ongoing where I will need to put my pb 15" in a remote location with a Canon camera. Canon has transmitter device which will allow me via ethernet to ftp to my pb.
Here's essentially what I need to the script to do and I am trying to find out just how feasible this is. I need my laptop to bootup to receive photos via ftp at a certain time period. The camera will send to the builtin ftp software. Once booted I need the script to hold for period of about an hour. Once time has elapsed I need the script to connect to the internet via a broadband EVDO card. We are using one of the EVDO cards built in to Tiger. It then must ftp a folder of images to a remote server.
Simple, huh? : ) I am running Transmit as my ftp software. I believe it is scriptable and will watch a folder to send.
Any ideas? I'd love to hear them. I can be reached via scott at scottaudette.com.
This setup is going be used in very cool photo location but I can't publicly announce where.
Scott
G5 and PB 15" Mac OS X (10.4.7)

'Transmit ... I believe it is scriptable' - yes it is. Go to How can I use AppleScript with Transmit? to download sample 'Transmit' scripts.
'Once booted I need the script to hold for period of about an hour.' - well then, save the script as a 'stay open' application, with an 'on idle () ... end idle' handler - with a return of (60 * 60) seconds; and then drag the saved application onto the 'System Preferences' 'Accounts' 'Login Items' tab's list - of the user which the Mac will boot to (when turned ON).

ODI and Essbase - question about updating structure (temp otls)

Hi,
versions:
ODI 11.1.1
essbase 11.1.2.2.1 (linux)
I'm running an interface that intends to update a dimension structure with the data from my respective dimension in Oracle relational. Actually a pretty simple interface using the KM "IKM SQL to
Hyperion Essbase (METADATA)". The execution is running fine with no errors and the structure is updated as expected, however we noticed that there are otl files being created in a tmp folder and they're never deleted. This folder is in the essbase server (/tmp). If I run this interface many times in a day, I'll have as many files in this folder as executions I did. So my question is if anybody knows why those files are being created and why they are not removed from there when the interface execution ends.
Thinking ahead, I'll have to create a shell script to clean up this folder in order to never have storage issues with those temporary otl files.
Thanks in advance for any contributions
Eduardo

     Agreed.
     I also think those files were created by the java APIs. Just for testing purposes, I ran the rule manually and those otls were not created. This is one more reason for me to believe on this theory.
     However, what makes me think is: no one else got this issue? What are you guys doing with those files?
     Maybe there is some setup I have to do and those files will not be created anymore.
Thanks,
Eduardo

OWB workflow question

I'm an OWB-newbie (using PARIS) and have a question about OWB workflows.
I want to create several mapping workflows.
All the mapping workflows should send a mail with the outcome of the workflows (success, error, warning) to an administrator.
I don't want to always code the same mail activity with the same parameter values.
So my idea is to write one subprocess which handles the mail-routine with some input parameters (calling workflow-name, process state (success, warning, error)).
In the subprocess I want to test the input parameter "process-state". If the value is 0 (success) then a mail with the workflow name as subject should be generated incuding an static text e.g. "mapping successful". If the value is 1 then "mapping warning" and so on.
What OWB activity has to be choosen for testing the input parameter "process-state" like an if-then-else construct or a case-construct?
How can the value of the input parameter "workflow-name" be included in the mail-body?
Regards
Martin

To my experience, using the OWF for these things is not very practical. I would suggest that you would make your own PL/SQL procedude that does this, and then call that procedure from within the actual mapping (post-mapping), using the values you have there.
This might not be what you want, however. I simply find the email capabilities of OWF too limited for actual work.

FLASH MX 2004 action script question

Hi!
I need to create an script for a basic function; when mouse goes over a moveclip, that works also link, I want it to trigger an invisible red dot on a nerby map. I have created a movieclip and named it "red", it's a 1 sec clip with nothing in the beginning and a red dot in the end. I want this dot to trigger and show only when mouse goes over this specific link, otherwise it must be invisible.
I know this is pretty basic stuff and I have done this before few years back but I have forgotten how to do it and need help now.
Any help would be very much appreciated :-)
Kim

I still need help, this problem is little more complicated;
I can manage making the red dot visible and invisible by triggering roll over and roll out on a button.
The problem is, I have a navbar which is line of flags made to a movie clip, with 5 invisible buttons. These buttons are configured to do three different actions; get URL, trigger a light effect and a movement effect.
Now I need this invisible button to trigger my red dot also so that when mouse is over a certain flag a red dot appears on a map on the correct location.
I have the red dot on a new layer. It has instance name "redDot" and on the very first frame of this red button layer, I have action script that says: redDot._visible = false;
This works as it should and the dot is invisible when the movie has loaded.
I need to make this invisible button to trigger the visibility of my red dot, and I have tried to add the code:
on (rollOver) {
redDot._visible = true;
on (rollOut) {
redDot._visible = false;
to this invisible button, but it dosent work, furthermore it affects the other functions of the button/movie clip, which were working fine before.
Here is the code attached to this invisible button so far:
on (release) {
getURL(/:url1);
on (rollOver) {
gotoAndPlay(2);
on (rollOut) {
gotoAndPlay("sec");
I have the URL:s on an external text file.
So my question is; where do I add the action script to make it visible when moving the mouse over this invisible button? To my understanding, it should go in the same place as the other code that is working, but I'm doing something wrong...
I tried to do this:
on (release) {
getURL(/:url1);
on (rollOver) {
gotoAndPlay(2)
redDot._visible = true;
on (rollOut) {
gotoAndPlay("sec")
redDot._visible = false;
But it is wrong, I also tried like this:
on (release) {
getURL(/:url1);
on (rollOver) {
gotoAndPlay(2);
on (rollOut) {
gotoAndPlay("sec");
on (rollOver) {
redDot._visible = true;
on (rollOut) {
redDot._visible = false;
But it makes the other functions that worked to stop working.
I also tried to give the invisible button an instance name and do it like this:
invisible.on (rollOver) {
redDot._visible = true;
invisible.on (rollOut) {
redDot._visible = false;
And put them in the actions layer of button movie clip but nothing works.
Flash is really giving me a headache now...
To conclude, I made a simple test button, put it on the scene somewhere and and attached the rollOver and rollOut codes, targeting the "redDot" and it works fine, the button didn't need a instance name to work. I don't understand why I can't make it to work with the invisible button where it should be.
I hope this clarifies the point and I can get some help with this and sorry for bothering again with this problem.
Oh and I use old Flash MX 2004.
Thanks
Kim

Madwifi-ng preup/predown script question [solved]

Hi,
I recently installed Arch 0.7.1 on my laptop.
So far I am very impressed with the speed and the simplicity :-)
I just have one small problem: madwifi-ng
Currently, I have to manually create the ath0 interface with wlanconfig, which is annoying. On the Gentoo forum I have found a partial script with preup/predown functions (the thread is located here)
preup() {
if [ "${IFACE}" == "ath0" ]; then
/sbin/wlanconfig ath0 create wlandev wifi0 wlanmode sta > /dev/null
return $?
fi
if mii-tool ${IFACE} 2> /dev/null | grep -q 'no link'; then
ewarn "No link on ${IFACE}, aborting configuration"
return 1
fi
return 0
predown() {
if [ "${IFACE}" == "ath0" ]; then
killall wpa_supplicant
/sbin/wlanconfig ath0 destroy
return $?
fi
return 0
I am using a Netgear WG511T pcmcia card.
I would really appreciate any suggestions on where to put this code, and how to modify it for use with Arch Linux, or if I should use something else alltogether.
Thanks in advance!

Another interesting problem: I recently upgraded to the latest madwifi-ng code with svn update and also started using wpa_supplicant 0.5.0 (upgraded from 0.4.7)
The netcfg script stopped working and after a little tinkering I discovered that the following section from start_profile() in the netcfg script was killing wpa_supplicant before it could connect:
while ! wpa_cli status | grep "wpa_state=COMPLETED" >/dev/null 2>&1; do
if [ $i -gt 10 ]; then
wpa_cli terminate >/dev/null 2>&1
ifconfig $WIFI_INTERFACE down
stat_fail && return
fi
sleep 2
let i++
done
fi
I have now commented out the loop and running the command "netcfg netgear" no longer halts there and so far everything seems to be fine again. I am guessing more than a 20 second timeout is needed, so I'll try having the iterator increment to 30 or something and see if that solves it.
[EDIT]
Now using [ $i -gt 30 ]; and it works. On second thought, since everything now really just works and my main question was essentially answered, I am adding [solved] to the title.
Thanks again!

Simple Action Script question

This is probably a very basic question, but going through all
my old Flash work didn't help me remember...
I have my animation starting on the main stage with an image
fading in. when that is done playing, at the end i want it to go to
a movie clip on the stage and play it from frame 2. what is the
action script for this?

Doesn't seem to be working... your_mc is the instance name of
the mc, correct? i placed this script in a frame - it's above where
my mc first appears and the initial animation on the stage ends. is
that correct?
stop();
tellTarget(mc_square-grid){
gotoAndPlay(2);
When I test the movie, the initial animation plays then
stops, but the MC does not start playing. and the following error
message appears:
Target not found: Target="NaN" Base="_level0"

ITunes Apple Script question

Any thoughts why the following script generates will only force a refresh of the smart playlist "Random Country" if Live Updating is turned off. This script works for the other two playlists shown which have Live Updating turned on.
on run
          tell application "iTunes"
--delete every track of playlist "Random Christian"
--delete every track of playlist "Mainstream"
                    delete every track of playlist "Random Country"
          end tell
end run
I get the following error why I run the script with Live Updating activated.
error "iTunes got an error: every track of playlist \"Random Country\" doesn’t understand the delete message." number -1708 from every track of playlist "Random Country"
I am currently running iTunes 11.0.2 on OSX 10.8.2

Thanks Winston Churchill. I was missing purchased content (cloud stuff) on my ATV2. The problem was with iTunes and many others were having similar problems. I asked them to fix iTunes so it worked, but they insisted on giving me outdated instructions that had no relevance to me. It is very frustrating dealing with them. I intentionally shortened my question when I asked it here just to find out what the directions they gave meant and you have answered that. Thanks again. This is the thread about missing shows:
