OWB 10g R2 - Workflow vs Unix scripts.

hi,
i've created one mapping in OWB.
which one i've to use either workflow or Unix scripts to run that mapping?
Which is better?
If anyone have good docs or links plz reply ASAP.

Workflow is designed to manage the run order and dependancies between multiple activities. It has the advantages of making it easy to run things in parallel, to model complex execution paths with options to execute items serially or in parallel, and allows administration via Oracle tools.
However, it is NOT the most intuitive tool, has limitations regarding naming (max 8 characters for process flow groups, requires unique names across all of your projects), and is definitely more complex to manage deployments with across multiple verticals.
If you only have a few mappings to run, I'd go with shell scripts and cron as the hands down winner. It could email you the results, and the OWB repository browser would still have all of the info if you need to troubleshoot.
If, however, you have a large number of mappings with complex run-order dependencies, then I would lean towards Workflow.

Running an Unix Script from Informatica Mapping/workflow.

Hi ,
I have a need to start /stop service to a remote server (away from the DAC server ,which is on UNIX os)
how could this be done in a best way?
I am planning to do this through Informatica Workflow,and need help (technical steps Please) to do this.
1) workflow will call the Unix Script
2) Unix Script logins to the remote server
3) Unix scripts navigates to particular folder
4) Unix script executes a command to Start/Stop the server.
5) Unix Script logs out.
6) if everything done success ,Workflow will success else fail with the error code.

How to view the DDL script prior to object deployment in OWB 10g R2?

How to view the DDL script prior to object deployment in OWB 10g R2?
Here is what I' looking for: in 10gR2, let's say I've built dimension X, but it's not deployed yet. I've selected one of the deployment options, let's say: "Deploy to Catalog only". Now, I'd like to see a DDL script that will be executed at the deployment time. Where can I find this script? What screen? What menu?
Thanks,
vr

Viewing the Scripts
After you have generated scripts for your target objects, you can open the scripts and
view the code. Warehouse Builder generates the following types of scripts:
■ DDL scripts: Creates or drops database objects.
■ SQL*Loader control files: Extracts and transports data from file sources.
■ ABAP scripts: Extracts and loads data from SAP systems.
To view the generated scripts:
1. From the Generation Results window, select an object in the navigation tree on the
left of the Generation Results dialog.
2. Select the Scripts tab on the right of this dialog.
The Scripts tab contains a list of the generated scripts for the object you selected.
3. Select a specific script and click the View Code button.

Marcos

Intergrating Execution of Unix scripts in Workflow?

Hello Everyone,
I'm interested in knowing if a unix script can be intergrated into Workflow?
We have a DW that is "feeded" from extrenal files and we have a unix
script that checks if the files have arrived etc. We also would like to add
the backup into the Workflow?
Thanks
Eric

Eric,
Their are several possibilities to achieve this, which are independent of Workflow. Basically, you can do anything in a WF as long as it can be called from the database. This includes:
- external procedures (write a C program to achieve what you want)
- if the folder that needs monitoring is on the DB server, you can use a SQL directory to monitor it.
- You can use a Java program stored in the DB, a so-called Java Stored Procedure.
- You can call a external Java program, using the External Java option in the WF Builder.
Cheers,
Rob

Passing paramater from process flow to unix script in owb

Hi,
I need help in calling a function the return value must be passed as a paramater to user defined activity operator in owb which would in turn run a unix script on the server which would use the paramater passed.
Thanks,
Ashvin.

hi let me give you some more infor about my proble.
i have a unix script named caproc. The script would be passed a paramater. the script would be called from simple owb process flow and i need to pass the paramater to it.
i have tested running other unix scripts and the are running fine.
as you said to create a variable 'x' i did that and under paramater_list of the user activity operator under binding i selected the variable 'X'
the process flow was valiadated fine and deployed but when i run it it gives me this error.

Tcl proc with input argument run from UNIX script...how

Environment:
OWB 10g Client on Windows XP Professional
Repository - 9.2.0.4 on UNIX (AIX 5.2)
Target - 9.2.0.4 on UNIX (AIX 5.2)
I need a little tcl advice, please!
I have a tcl script (proc, I guess) that takes one argument, in this case a mapping name.
I would like to execute this tcl script from a UNIX shell script and pass the name of the mapping as an argument to the UNIX shell script. Something like:
OMBPlus.sh omb_deploy.tcl $1
where omb_deploy.tcl is the script that has all the OMBPlus commands in it to create the deployment plan and execute it.
I'd like to pass the mapping name as a command line argument to the UNIX shell script but it doesn't like it.
When I execute the script as above, I don't see any output and the mapping does not get deployed.
So, I need a little help on two (2) issues:
1- How do I generate a log file of the output of the tcl script?
2- How do I pass the mapping name as an argument to the UNIX shell script?
For #1 I have tried using the 'open logfilename w' at the top of the tcl script but it produces no output.
I saw another example from this forum where the author used a 'putslog' command in the script. I can't find any documentation on that command, what does it do?
That same script set a global OMBLOG variable at the top of the script and used the 'putslog' command in the body.
Is OMBLOG some special reserved word for logging? I couldn't find anything on it.
I'm trying to learn tcl but struggling to put all the tcl stuff together with all the OMBPlus stuff and make it all work is getting the best of me.
Any assistance, with examples (I learn best from them), is greatly appreciated.
Gary

Well duh!
I ended up just logging everything from the UNIX shell script and letting the tcl script write everything to stdout.
I also finally found the $argv parameter and have used that to pick up the name of the mapping being passed to OMBPlus.
It seems to be working so far.

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 OWBs 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.

How to run a unix script from oracle warehouse Builder

Hi,
can any one share the information about, running the unix script or scripts using oracle warehouse builder.
Regards,
Ak

One way is define a workflow. Inside the workflow you put
1)an external process that "points to" the shell script and then
2)put the mapping
The external process must have the "COMMAND" parameter set to the name of the shell script. If the script has parameters you must put them in the "PARAMETERS LIST" separated by "?" (for example, ?par1?par2).
The path where OWB executes the external process I think is the ORACLE_HOME of the OWB.
f you don't use workflow, you can try with this more complex solution. I tried with 9i and OWB 9.2 and it's working well.
You create an autonomous procedure (within a package or not) :
CREATE PROCEDURE Extract_Email_List
DECLARE
PRAGMA AUTONOMOUS_TRANSACTION;
And use the sys.shell script that you need your dba/unix admin to install first of all, with a call like that.
sys.shell('sh ' || txt_dir_name || '/send_email_marketing.sh ' || txt_dir_name || ' ' || email_addr );
Then you import your procedure into OWB and use it in your mapping with the "pre-mapping" icon (you can set parameters for your proc with constants if you want).
To implement sys.shell, go to metalink and find "Note:168065.1" - "How to call a UNIX shell script from PL/SQL".
Once it's done once, it's not so bad. But I would still recommend the workflow approach also..
I hope this helps.

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

How to pass process flow input parameter to unix script external process

Hi,
I'm trying to pass a process flow input paramter (string) to an external process which is a unix script. I've been working on this for the last 2 days but can't get it to work. Here is the design. I have a process flow with 3 maps that create a file in the unix file system. I have a suffix, which is an input parameter to the process flow, that will need to be passed to the unix script to rename the file appending the suffix to the filename. I've tried different things and nothing works for me. Has anyone done something similar in OWB?
Thanks much!

I tried using useBean inside the Jsp for this.
But following error comes:
OracleJSP error: oracle.jsp.parse.JavaCodeException: Line # 13, oracle.jsp.parse.JspParseTagExpression@102e37e
Error: Java code in jsp source files is not allowed in ojsp.next mode.
Please explain why?

Unix Script in Process Flow

Hi
I have created Process flow which calls Unix Script and deployed the Process flow successfully. But it is giving error when i execute the process flow saying required scripts are not deployed.
Do we need to deploy the unix scripts? if yes, could some one advise how do we do this, as i couldn't see modules to import the Unix Script.
I am using OWB 11G R2.
Thanks

A decent documentation for OWB 10g R2

Hi All,
Is there any place where there is a proper documentation of the above release? OWB 10g R1 has documentation in OTN site but is there any specific OWB 10g r2 documentation in OTN ??
Regards
-AP

Hi,
the level of the docs is not consistent: sometimes you'll find truly good explanations, in other places there is not more than a step by step description of trivial operations. But the real desaster is the Scripting manual. It looks generated by a machine and never formatted by a human being. The examples are poor. Each OMB script or expert is a new expedition to unknown places. You must be really good in guessing and trying. But it has one advantage. When your expert succeeds finally, you'll feel good and happy ...
I hope that an expert will be found who will give us a more usable reference in order to promote this powerful tool.
