  • New licensing for OWB 10g R2 (Paris)

    Hi,
    Does anyone know how much the new licenses (per DB server CPU) for OWB 10g R2 (Paris) cost?
    Is it correct that the features for the modeling of SCD 1 and 2 are not included in the basic "Core ETL Features"?
    If I'm using the the SCD 2 features to develop the OWB mappings do I also need to license the "Enterprise ETL" for the production server?
    Related to the previous question: for the production DB where I only need the runtime part of the repository is it required to license any options?
    Regards
    Maurice
    PS: 2 links related to these questions:

    Maurice, not sure what to say. If you've been using OWB, then you don't lose any functionality going to the new version, and it will be "free". You simply won't get any of the new functionality (all of the old functionality is included in the "core" features)
    However, as I said in the other post, I hope Oracle reconsiders the SCD 1 / 2 / 3 licensing. To me, SCD type 2 are not "enterprise level" functionality - that is base level functionality for ANY data mart or data warehouse. I have no problems with paying for options the other ETL vendors are charging for (data quality comes to mind...), but if we deploy a large DW on a 32 processor box, paying for the Oracle licenses AND an addition $300,000+ for OWB functionality just to simplify SCD type 2, seems WAY overkill. Actually, in our project, we had pretty much settled on Oracle as the RDBMS for our DW, but if OWB is up in the air, we will probably open this up for an RFQ.

  • OWB 10G R2 with 9.2 DB....

    At my company the standard for databases is still 9.2. Since this is a large organization, we are a little slow to adopt the latest versions (we are still running OWB 9.2.0.8).
    According to the FAQ, Design repositories for OWB 10g R2 can be setup on a 9.2 DB.
    http://www.oracle.com/technology/products/warehouse/htdocs/owb_10gr2_faq.html#37
    In the FAQ, it also says to look at the Certify page in Metalink to see what databases are supported by OWB 10g R2:
    http://www.oracle.com/technology/products/warehouse/htdocs/owb_10gr2_faq.html#35
    In the Certify page, only 10g R2 DB appears to be certified for OWB 10g R2.
    Is anyone running OWB 10g R2 with 9.2 DB (for both Design and Runtime environments)? Any problems with this setup?
    Since OWB 10g R2 is a new release, could it be certified for 9.2 DB later?
    Since it is not certified for 9.2 DB, will Oracle give support if we run into problems?
    I thought one of the major advantages of OWB was suppose to be compatibility between database versions. I was surprised not to see that 9.2 was not certified.

    Hi,
    You can have OWB 10G R2 on Oracle 9.2.
    We are using OWB 10G R2 on Oracle 9.2.
    I have done instalation on both Windows and Unix environment.
    What you need is patch 9.2.0.6.0

  • OWB 10g -- Can't Create Database Links for Data Source and Target

    We installed OWB 10g server components on a Unix box running Oracle 10g (R2) database. The Designer Repository is in one instance. The Runtime Repository and the Target are in another instance. The OWB client component was installed on Windows XP. We create a data source module and a target module in OWB. The data source is on another Unix box running Oracle 9i (R2) database. We try to create database links for data source module and target module, respective. But when we created and tested the DB links, the DB links were failed.
    For the database link of data source, we got the following error message:
    Testing...
    Failed.
    SQL Exception
    Repository Error:SQL Exception..
    Class Name: CacheMediator.
    Method Name: getDDEntryFromDB.
    Repository Error Message: ORA-12170: TNS:Connect timeout occurred
    For the database link of target , we got the following error message:
    Testing...
    Failed.
    API2215: Cannot create database link. Please contact Oracle Support with the stack trace and the details on how to reproduce it.
    Repository Error:SQL Exception..
    Class Name: oracle.wh.ui.integrator.common.RepositoryUtils.
    Method Name: createDBLink(String, String, String, String).
    Method Name: -1.
    Repository Error Message: java.sql.SQLException: ORA-00933: SQL command not properly ended.
    However, we could connect to the two databases (data source and target) using the OWB’s utility SQL Plus.
    Please help us to solve this problem. Thank you.

    As I said prior the database link creation should work from within the OWB client (also in 10).
    Regarding your issue when deploying, have you registered your target locations in the deployment manager and did you first deployed your target location's connector which points out to your source?
    I myself had some problems with database link creations in the past and I can't remember exactly what they were but it had something to do with
    - the use of abnormal characters in the database link name
    - long domain name used in as names.default_domain in my sqlnet.ora file
    What you can do is check the actual script created when deploying the database link so see if there's something strange and check if executing the created script manually works or not.

  • Errors in demo project OWP_BP in OWB 10g

    Hi,
    there are several errors in the demo project OWB_BP in the OWB 10g-directory <OWB_HOME>/owb/misc/time.
    1.) In the mapping TF_Time_Map there's a unlegal default value for the attribute startDate of the Map Input Parameter: '01-Jan-95'. The following table function TIMEDATA expects a value in the format 'dd-mon-yyyy', so the mappinmg makes a dataset beginning on '01-Jan-0095'!
    2.) The readme-file says you should load the table function, the sequences, types etc. into the runtime repository - but you need them in the target schema!
    3.) The dimension T_TIME has the levels day, month, quarter and year und OWB makes for every ID of a level a unique key constraint for the index. In the table function TIMEDATA you have more than one dataset with the same ID in the dimension table, because all days of Januar 1995 have the same month_id, quarter_id and year_id. Because of that the mapping stops with many errors: ORA-00001: Unique Constraint (ZUZ_TARGET.TTIME_L_YEAR_UK) violation and only one record is imported to the dimension table.
    Can anybody tell me how I can resolve the Unique Constraint (ZUZ_TARGET.TTIME_L_YEAR_UK) violation?
    Thanks,
    Detlef

    Detlef,
    You are correct on all three. The most significant problem #3 has been discussed on this forum before and the updated version of the function that fixes the issue is here OLAP dimension level constraints

  • CDC and OWB 10g R2 installation error

    Hi,
    We are using CDC (Autolog) and OWB 10g R2 for the warehouse. We have CDC installed and up and running on the database. I then try to install the OWB 10g R2 repository using OMBPlus and it fails with this error message:
    OWB repository installtion failed. The Warehouse Builder repository owner instal
    lation failed on user OWBRO.
    java.sql.SQLException: ORA-00604: error occurred at recursive SQL level 1

    I cannot find any documentation related to this. Has anyone attempted this and has this worked?

    I figured out that the OWBRT_SYS had been created incorrectly. When I dropped the user and recreated the repository, this problem disappeared.

  • RPE-01012 error in OWB 10g

    Hi,
    I am trying to deploy a simple mapping with both source and target definitions as relational(Oracle) tables and it is failing throwing the following error.
    RPE-01012: Cannot deploy to the target location because it is owned by a different runtime platform.
    But I am able to deploy mappings successfully when the source is a flat file and target being a relational table. I am having problem only when both the source and target are relational. I am using Oracle 10g and OWB 10g. Any help would be appreciated.
    Thanks in advance,
    Sri

    Good morning Sri,
    Does this problem occur in the same module or in different ones?
    If in different ones, maybe one of your locations has not been correctly registered?

  • OWB 10g to 9i compatibility

    I have been working with OWB 10g release2. Now we got other project on 9iDS.
    Can I use same 10g OWB client to connect to OWB 9i Repository?
    I can connect to OWB 9i repository through TOAD.
    When I tried to connect through OWB 10g client,
    I am getting error API5022:Cannot connect to the repository.
    Is such type of downward compatibility permitted?
    Pavan.

    There are no real problems with running two clients on the same machine, installed in two different homes.
    But if you have the chance, you might want to migrate the other project to your OWB version and live happily ever after ... :)

  • Installation of OWB 10g R2

    We would like to install OWB 10g R2 . We have database 10g on Unix AIX HP machine(server).
    We like install it in client server architecture though i have gone through some installation guide
    I want some clarification about OWB installation in client server fashion..
    1)what are components to be installed on the Server.
    2) What are components to be installed on the client.
    3)What extra configuration i should do on server end.

    1.First create Repository using Repository assistance.
    while creating repository
    it will ask you for Repository user and Repository OWNER.
    You can create multiple user under One OWner.
    After that connect To owb using the one of the user.
    Hope it will solve your problem.

  • Simple OWB 10g R2 Example for Type 2 Dimensions Needed

    Hello,
    Does someone have a simple example of a Type 2 dimension on OWB 10g R2? That I can run and test. The ideal would be an MDL file that includes all the elements, so I only have to install and run it?
    I have been trying to make this work for far too long now. All of this was not a problem in OWB 9i but I'm having trouble getting OWB 10g R2 to work like I'm used to.
    Thanks

    FYI, with my configuration of having separate database instances for target and OWB repository I ran into a bit of an issue when deploying a map:
    'RPE-01012: Cannot deploy PL/SQL maps to the target schema because it is not owned by the Control Center' error.
    Even though I could do deploy tables, views, MVs et all but for some reason I couldn't deploy my mapping. Solution to get around this problem is to:
    * create new OWB repository in the target environment using the REPOSITORY ASSISTANT
    * add target schema as an OWB user using OWBREPowner (Global Explorer panel/Security/Users), check user as 'target schema' option
    * start control center service against the target warehouse using target schema credentials
    * delete previously created separate dedicated OWB repository
    Now mappings can be deployed successfully.
    My only concern now is if this is a valid legit configuration? I would hate to run into problems in the future once my environment becomes bigger.
    What are your thoughts on this?

  • Function usage in OWB 10g Mapping

    Hi,
    I'm a newbie of OWB 10g.
    I do have in flat file (.csv) a column with value as "ABC 1.2", "ABC 2.0", "XYZ 2.1", "XYZ 3.0" etc.
    I wanted this value to placed to the oracle database table as such & as truncated value as "ABC" for both version of ABC & as "XYZ" for versions of XYZ.
    I have mapped in the mapping editor where the database table has 2 columns. One to place the data from flat file as such & the other column to be the truncated or transformed value.
    I have mapped from flat file to the first column as such & for the value to the second column i do have a function which does the process of transformation.
    I validated, Generated, Deployed & all are successful. On execution of the deployed mapping
    I face a problem as :
    Record 7: Rejected - Error on table "username"."tablename", column "second column name".
    Column not found before end of logical record (use TRAILING NULLCOLS)
    Since i have 256 records, to all those i do face the same situation for all records.
    Plz do enlighten me how to go about to place the data from flat file to the database table column as the same value & the transformed value in another column in database table.
    Thx in Advance.

    Patrick is correct. i have earlier assumed you had the procedure created and was just attempting to executing a mapping from it.
    by the way, the "instruction" to use this script is embedded in the run_my_owb_stuff.sql file itself (i will cut and paste it here)
    [BEGIN EXTRACT]
    How to use install and use function:
    - Logon to runtime repository owner and run this script. This creates a function run_my_owb_stuff
    - grant execute to run_my_owb_stuff to <runtime access user>
    - connect as runtime access user and run something along the lines of:
    begin
    dbms_output.put_line('result '
    || to_char(<runtime repository owner>.run_my_owb_stuff( '<runtime repository owner>'
    , '<target location>'
    , '<type: PLSQL, PROCESS or SQL_LOADER>'
    , '<mapping or process name>'
    , '<system parameters>'
    , '<custom parameters>'
    end ;
    Because of the defaults you can leave any input parameters into
    run_my_owb_stuff empty, such as p_system_parameters and
    p_custom_parameters. For an implementation, consider changing the
    defaults (such as p_repos_owner) to make live easier. Also, consider
    taking out the dbms_output.put_line messages in a production situation.
    To run this script, a user has to have been granted roles WB_R_<runtime
    repos owner> and WB_U_<runtime repos owner>. The runtime access user
    will have these roles granted.

  • Experts VS Process Flows on OWB 10g Release 2 (Paris)

    I was looking at the the new features list for OWB 10g Release 2 (Paris), and I notices the new feature called Experts. Does anyone have any insight into when an Expert would be used instead of a Process Flow? It doesn't look like Process Flows are going away, so I was trying to get a grasp of the use for Experts.
    From Here:
    http://www.oracle.com/technology/products/warehouse/htdocs/owb10gr2%20new%20features.htm
    Experts. Experts are solutions that enable advanced users to design solutions that simplify routine or complex tasks that end users perform in Warehouse Builder. You can design these solutions in the Expert Editor which resembles the Process Flow Editor and shares many of the same commands and navigational tools.

    Hi,
    Just to start with the Experts capabilities, they can be used for designing schema objects.......I tried with an expert for sampling the source files, creating External Tables on top of it....validating and deploying..........itz very interesting to work with.........I am unable to see the practical use of this for end users.....
    where as we all know, the PF can only be for executing the deployed objects.....

  • When will the new OWB 10g release 2 be available?

    HI...
    I would like to know if there is a timetable to
    download in the OTN site about the new version of OWB 10g release 2..
    I saw the the new version of this tool last year in the Oracle Open World and I am very curious to do some test and implement in our production environment.
    We are using OWB 10.1.0.2..

    Good morning Tracy,
    According to Oracle OWB is going to be part of Oracle Business Intelligence... at some stage in the future.
    Right now BI10g consists of the following (check link at http://www.oracle.com/technology/software/index.html):
    Oracle Business Intelligence
    ... Oracle Business Intelligence Discoverer
    ... Oracle HTTP Server
    ... Oracle Application Server Containers for J2EE (OC4J)
    ... Oracle Enterprise Manager 10g Application Server Control
    ... Oracle Application Server Web Cache
    No OWB10gR2 as you can see.
    Metalink rang me earlier this week for some TAR, and they were hoping to see OWB10gR2 released this year... this implies that we have to count ourselves lucky if that means december. At the moment they're working hard to get a stable product out, guess there are more serious bugs to solve than they had anticipated on previously.
    Cheers, Patrick
