Oracle Warehouse Builder 11GR2 -no time dimension wizard?

Hi,
I am running OWB 11GR2 on top of a 11GR2 database (OEL 5.4 64 bit).
I don't have a time dimension wizard, just a normal wizard. What I do is right-click, new dimension....but no time wizard. How can I activate it?
I have installed everything several times, but no luck...
Can anyone help, please?

Hi
Right Johnny. This happened when we moved to the new UI, all objects can be created using the New 'gallery' style approach, not exactly intuitive for how you remember time dimensions being created but it's still all there.
Cheers
David

Oracle 11gR2 use the time dimension wizard---the cube didn't show any information!

I created a Time Dimension with the Time dimension wizard , a category dimension, and a rel_expense cube in OWB 。what I do is following the oracle 11g r1's turtoial
The rel_expense cube has two forigen keys, one is refrence the category dimension's dimension_key(primary key in the category dimension), and the other one refrence the time dimension's start_day_date(bussniess key in the time dimension).
The result I get is the rel_expense_tab had datas, but the rel_expense cube had nothing.
.I delete the category dimension , it is the same result(cube rel_expense had nothing).
But if I only delete the time dimension, it is ok(both of them had datas)!!!
So I think is the time dimension's problem ,because the 11g r2's time dimension wizard didnt' generate the dimension_key for time. Is the forigen key(time dimension) i refrenced in the cube is error,so if it is, what should I do?
SEEK FOR YOU HELP!!!!!
ps:my mother language isn't English ,so it has many erros in the passage

can anybody help me? the measures in my cube were round to integer, i doubt it came from time dimension. did anyone encounts such a senario

Problem with Starting with Oracle Warehouse Builder 11g Release 1

Hello,
I want to do the training modules for owb. I installed Oracle Databes 11g2 and was attempting to load all the demo files from the learning module Starting with Oracle Warehouse Builder 11g Release 1 (http://st-curriculum.oracle.com/obe/db/11g/r1/owb/owb11g_update_getting_started_intro/lesson1/less1_start.htm)
I get an error during the running of the tcl scripts in omb plus. Everything works until the last files in which an object cannot be found. I get the following error:
OMB02923: Attribute TIMES_CAL_MONTH_CODE of group SALES of operator SALES_OUT does not exist.
The only reference i can find to this is in the load_sales.tcl file from the zip-file and i have no idea what is going wrong. As a result 5 mappings are missing in the end result (all LOAD_.. mappings)
Can anyone assist me with this problem and provide a solution?
thank you in advance

Additional information after looking at the tcl files and the data in OWB that was loaded.
The section where the error occurs connects two parts of a mapping, the OUTGRP1 and the SALES_OUT. THe SALES_OUT is based upon the cube Sales. This cube contains all the data that is being connected except for the 'TIMES_CAL_MONTH_CODE'. I have no idea based upon the code of the creation of the cube where they take the data from. None of the connected attributes is named specifically. The cube also contains the several groups, one of these is time. If you open the details of the group the list of input attributes lists the needed attribute but it is not listed seperatly like all the others that are connected for the mapping. Does anybody have an idea how to solve the problem based on this extra information and the code listed below.
Code connecting outgrp1 and sales_out:
OMBALTER MAPPING 'LOAD_SALES' \
ADD CONNECTION FROM ATTRIBUTE 'AMOUNT' OF GROUP 'OUTGRP1' OF OPERATOR 'AGGREGATOR' \
TO ATTRIBUTE 'AMOUNT' OF GROUP 'SALES' OF OPERATOR 'SALES_OUT'\

TO ATTRIBUTE 'PROMOTIONS_SOURCE_ID' OF GROUP 'SALES' OF OPERATOR 'SALES_OUT'\

ADD CONNECTION FROM ATTRIBUTE 'FINISH_MONTH' OF GROUP 'OUTGRP1' OF OPERATOR 'AGGREGATOR' \
TO ATTRIBUTE 'TIMES_CAL_MONTH_CODE' OF GROUP 'SALES' OF OPERATOR 'SALES_OUT'
Code for creating the cube:

Oracle Warehouse Builder

Dear buddies,
I need to migrate my tables and data from SQL Server 2005 to Oracle 10g.
My boss's requirement is I must be able to redo it at any point of time. Meaning, I should be able to use the script at any point to recreate the tables and reload them independently without using SQL Server or the existing configurations.
Does OracleWarehouse Builder provide such scripts after the migration or in the process of migration, which can be reused independently?
There are about 7 SQL Server databases and each has around 270 tables. Some would be totally new and some would involve merging.
Please advice me.
Thanks.

sysdba password = the password i gave during the database creation (using dbca)

The remaining disk space for that drive is few gigs and I have created the database with the 16384.
Please advice on how I should go about this.
I have been struggling to perform my migration. I really hope someone would be able to guide me through.
OS: Windows 2003 Enter Edition
Oracle 10g
And I am not able to access anything from SQL Plus after I installed Oracle Warehouse Builder.
So, is the error I am facing something like to do with a bad installation? Do I need to uninstall my OWB or uninstall my oracle and OWB and reinstall them?
Please guide me.

Thanks a lot.

Oracle Warehouse Builder 10g installation issues

Hi All,
I have downloaded the OWB 10g, from the site. I have Oracle 10g (Release 2) database server installed on the machine.
When I start installing Oracle Warehouse Builder 10g, it just does the client installation and I am not able to find out were should I search for the OWB server installation?
Even I have checked by installing the same but I just have Repository Assistant , Design Center and Repository Browser available on the machine. I could not find the Runtime Assistant & Control Center to work on?
Can somebody help me out with these issues?
Thanks in advance.
Regards,
Anand

Hi...
There is an explanations..from the FAQ itself :
How do I download and install Warehouse Builder Client versus Warehouse Builder Server?
Warehouse Builder is a single install image that contains both Client and Server components, which are installed at the same time as part of the installation process. If the deployment target database is on the same machine as Warehouse Builder Client UI, there is one single installation process. If the deployment target database is on a separate machine, the install process has to be run twice, repeating the exact same install process on the client machine (to run the Warehouse Builder Design client) and the deployment target machine. Normally when installing the repository, either locally or remotely, the OWB software needs to be already present on the machine. However, it is possible to skip or defer the step of installing on the target deployment machine. This is referred to as a “Remote Target Configuration”. More information on this can be found in the Installation Guide, Chapter 2, “Remote Target”.
hope this helps...

Oracle Warehouse Builder Project Demo

Can the OWB Project demo run on Oracle 9i Release 2 and Oracle 9i Warehouse Builder? If yes, are all the steps in OWBDemoGuide.doc similar? Thanks.

I've got this to work by installing OWB 3i, then using the metadata upgrade wizard to upgrade the .mdl file to the OWB 9i format. It then installs ok (not sure if it runs though...)
You'd probably get a better/quicker reply posting to the Business Intelligence > Oracle Warehouse Builder forum in future :-)
cheers

Who says Oracle Warehouse Builder is a leader in ETL?

... the analyst firm Gartner does!
Oracle Warehouse Builder moved into the leader quadrant in Gartner's ETL Magic Quadrant published on September 8, 2004. Please see today's press release from Oracle http://biz.yahoo.com/prnews/040916/sfth048_1.html
What does it mean for the technical users of OWB like you: data warehouse developers, architects, data analysts, DBAs?
It means that you've made a wise career decision to become skilled in the product with rapidly growing customer base and market recognition.
Nikolai Rochnik

If it were me, I'd use an 'Expression' operator in the mapping and write a CASE statement. You could also write a public or private transformation that takes the varchar2 parameter in and outputs the number you want and plug that into your mapping.
Which route you go depends on how often you need to do this. One time, just write an expression. Reuse? Then make a transformation.

Thanks for your reply Igor.
As posted the OWB 10.1.0 software is running against a 9.2.0.8.0. database, so OWB still uses DBMS_JOB instead of DBMS_SCHEDULER in this database. In addition I already tested scheduling a simple job to run an OS command as suggested in note 365539.1 , and job scheduling is working fine.
There are no invalid objects in this database.

Hello,
Did you try the builtin SRW.GET_REPORT_NAME built-in function ?
Example
function AfterPForm return boolean is
my_var varchar2(80);
BEGIN
SRW.GET_REPORT_NAME(my_var);
SRW.MESSAGE(0,'Report Filename = '||my_var);
RETURN (TRUE);
END;

Oracle Warehouse Builder 10.1.0.4 on Windows 2008 - 64 bits

Hi Gurus.
I'm currently working with a customer who wants to migrate all their database-servers to Windows 2008 on 64-bits processors. They're using Oracle Database Enterprise Edition 10g Release 2 (10.2.0.4) and Oracle Warehouse Builder (10.1.0.4). The OWB-clients will still run on Windows XP. I've used the "Certify"-funcionality on Metalink, but it doesn't really answer my questions. (It does* ansver some of my questions, but it also raises a few new ones....)
My main question is: Can you run serverside OWB 10.1.0.4 on Enterprise Edition 10.2.0.4 for Windows 2008 64-bits?
Thanks in advance:-)
Best regards
Helge
Edited by: user613304 on Mar 6, 2009 11:10 PM

No.
Oracle Warehouse Builder version 10.1.x was desupported on 16-JUL-2007.
The desupport notice is available on Metalink (Note 376384.1).
The Warehouse Builder installation as part of the 11.1.0.7 installation should be certified, but I cannot find specifics.

Oracle warehouse builder - OWB & Oracle 10g Db on SuSE

hi folks,
i have Oracle 10g db on my laptop; and it runs great!
but since i am trying to gain skills in data warehousing and business inteligence, and after reading about oracle warehouse builder, i decided to install it on my laptop as well.
but i can not get my head around the docs for installing OWB.
is the only requirement for OWB to have an OWB_ORACLE_HOME environment variable on linux? how do we start OWB service automatically?
has anyone installed OWB with oracle on the same pc?
i would appreciate your comments.
thanks in advance,
Nicolas

Thanks Andreas,
i have printed and followed the advice on these documents.
that is how i have got confused about this OWB_ORACLE_HOME.
i would very much appreciate if could provide me with some brief description of which environment variables are needed for OWB installation.
regards,
nicolas

Oracle Applications Release 12 and Oracle Warehouse Builder 10gR2

Hi
I'm trying to deploying process flows to Workflow but I get the following error:
RPE-02054: The version of Oracle Workflow is incompatible with this Control Center. Required 2.6.3, but found 2.6.0.
Comment I found on another thread: "As far Workflow Versions with Oracle Applications is concerned, it is always 2.6.0. Workflow is not identified with its 2.6.x versioning in Oracle Applications. The 2.6.x.x versioning is purely for Workflow Standalone."
Oracle Warehouse Builder Client: 10.2.1.31
Oracle Warehouse Builder Repository: 10.2.0.1.0
Oracle Applications Release 12
Any help would be appreciated.

May be the excerpt from the other thread is a response I posted.
So, when you say, deploying process flows to Workflow, I do not understand what you are doing exactly? If this involves the Oracle Warehouse Builder you may want to explain a little more in detail since I do not understand how OWB works with Workflow. But as far as I have heard, it is Workflow standalone that is packaged with OWB but you are deploying into Oracle Applications.
What is the version of Oracle Workflow Builder you are using?
Is the steps you are doing certified to be done with Oracle Applications R12?
Thanks

Oracle Warehouse Builder 10.1.0.4

Hi All,
I am searching for Oracle Warehouse builder 10.1 release which is compatible with Oracle database 10gR2 on solaris x86 server.
I have found softwares for solaris sparc but nothing seems available for oracle 10gR2 on solaris x86.
OWB 10.1.0.3 is compatible with oracle database 10gR1 and owb 10.1.0.4 and owb 10.1.0.5 are only compatible with 10gR2.
Currently we are facing some problem with Owb 10.2.0.1 so we have to relay on owb 10.1 release.
Can any one help me to find link for downloading
OWB 10.1.0.4 or 10.1.0.5 for solaris x86 server...
Thanks

I am still unable to find any owb 10.1.x.x release for solaris x86 environment.
Do any one have any link for this??

ORA-06502 pl/sql in Oracle warehouse builder

Hi,
I have a problem with using Name and Address operator in Oracle Warehouse builder. When I mapped a table which has more than 7735 rows to another table.
I will get the error "ORA-06502: PL/SQL: numeric or value error: character string buffer too small".
How can I solve this problem?
Thanks a lot!

The problem is happening again.
When it happens, if I quit and I start again Oracle XE, the problem does not happen at first, but happens again after a while (the duration before the error is not always the same). If I increase the number of lines that are printed for the result of a request, I can induce the error; if I decrease the number of lines, the error is not happening.
Here is one of the request (that request returns about 5000 rows) that cause the error, and the complete error message:
