Odi waitforlogdata CDC problem

Question

Hi,
I m trying to create a package including the tool of odiwaitforlogdata. The package is working fine unless the name of the table doesnt include an underscore '_'.
EX:
If the table name is 'SUBSECTORS', it is working fine but if it is 'SUB_SECTORS' it is giving an error on the step of odiwaitforlogdata saying that 'table or view doesnt exist'.
Tnx in advance.

Answer 1

This is normal, expected behavior.
The ODI 10.1.3.5 documentation states the following:
-TABLE_NAME=<tableName>
Note: This option works ONLY for tables in a model journalized in simple mode.
-CDC_SET_NAME=<cdcSetName>
Note: This option works ONLY for tables in a model journalized in consistent mode.
This means that parameter -TABLE_NAME of OdiWaitForLogData is not expected to work when the Datastores have been journalized in consistent mode.
The current behavior is consistent with the ODI documentation.
To resolve the case, use -CDC_SET_NAME parameter instead of -TABLE_NAME.
Remark:
The reason for table names without underscore "_" working in consistent journalization mode with -TABME_NAME parameter, is due to the fact that the logic in code doesn't require to access SNP_SUBSCRIBERS table.
