OWB 10G upgrade

We have OWB server on SUN Solaris 8 and OWB client on Windows XP.
The website for downloading OWB : http://www.oracle.com/technology/software/products/warehouse/index.html
shows OWB for SUN, OWB for windows etc.
The question is do I have to download (both the SUN Solaris and Windows versions of OWB 10G) and install / upgrade them completely even though all I need for the SUN Solaris environment is the OWB server component and for Windows XP all I need is the OWB client?
My earlier installs (version 9i) were from a CD so I didnt have that issue

Hi,
You will have to upgrade both sides and will have to download both copies therefore.

OWB 10g R2 with Advanced Queues

All,
We are currently using 9.2.0.2.8 and make extensive use of Advance Queues in many of our mappings (we've put a lot of effort in to get this to work "real time"). We are now looking to upgrade from 9.2.0.2.8 to 10.2.0.2 - we've upgraded the mappings ok and the queues are there ok.
Going forward it looks like AQ has been removed as a source for new mappings in OWB 10g R2. Can anyone shed any light on this - will it be included a future patch or is there a work around?
I've looked at the OpenWorld presentations and making OWB process data "near real time" seems to be a big new feature.
Thanks
Craig

I raised a Tar on metalink for this issue, here is the reply I got:
This is what I received from Development:
The real-time feature was pulled from OWB 10gR2 and this also included the
AQ import which was in 10.1, I think they must have been
tightly coupled. The workaround involves coding; the pre-Paris solution
basically created a temporary table where messages were staged and this
queue table used for the map; the map had pre/post map triggers for
initializing/finalizing the queue. To use it effectively it would be best to
create some scripts that generate the appropriate SQL scripts for the
supporting map queue table and also the PLSQL procedures representing the
pre/post map triggers. Similar manual coding is applicable for using CDC
within OWB for OWB 10gR2.
These features are planned for a future release.
Implementation of this work-around is something you can do or Oracle Consulting can do. Support
cannot assist in developing a solution for this.

OWB 9.0.3 migration to OWB 10G R2

Hi All,
I am in the process of doing the Migration of OWB 9.0.3 migration to OWB 10G R2, I am doing it for the first time.
is there any manual or can any one help me with the steps to achieve the migration.
thanks.

Hi there. I am currently going from 9.03 to 10.1.0.5.
You cant go 9.03 to 10.2.03 (paris or 11G) the leap is too large. However you can go straight from 9.03 to 10.1.0.5.
I exported 9.03 mdl's and imported them into 10.1.0.5 the mdl updater kicked in and upgraded the 9.03 mdls which i then imported into 10.1.0.5.
then after adjusting the repos to use the locations (they dont exist in 9.03). register the locations in the runtimes etc. then you can generate and deploy and it all should work just fine.
Now I am unable to go straight to 10.2 (due to the testing i have to complete) but I did test the mdl files that were created by the upgrade process from 9.03 to get into 10.1 and they in turn can be imported upgraded into 10.2 so you can hop versions if it makes sense for you.
It does involve some setup. I tend to export import OWB when doing upgrades. So installing seperate OWB repositories is what I do (as in owb design repos 9.03 in one database instance and 10.1 in another ) that way you dont break /loose your 9.03.
if you can clone your target 9.03 target runtime database and simply use the target installer in 10.1 to install the 10.1 runtime into your current target schema's. plus you can do some parallel testing. Be prepared 9.03 is faster than 10.xx its runtime engine is simply faster. there is overhead in all the extra runtime logging.
Plus the way you release code will most likely change (ok it has too) you cant run/release/deploy 10.xx maps without using the OWB deployment framework either UI or scripting via OMB Plus.
Have Fun
Richard.

OWB 10g R1 - trying to connect to 11g database

Hi,
Is it possible for OWB 10g R1 (10.1.0.3.0) to connect to a database on Oracle 11g, incidentally it is Oracle 64bit. Currently I am having difficulty when deploying objects, the error message says it cannot find the remote object on the Oracle 11g database.
Thanks,
Marlise Burke

Hi user589658 ,
Do you have the reference to the Metalink document that States that?
We have an old 10g rel 1 repository and we now have to generate mappings to extract from , and populate another 11g database.
The metalink reference would help us to justify to management the upgrade of our OWB repository and clients to 11g
Thanks

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:
http://www.rittman.net/archives/2006/05/owb_10g_release_2_now_availabl.html
http://www.oracle.com/technology/products/warehouse/htdocs/owb_10gr2_faq.htm#HowisOWBPackaged

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.

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..
Thanks

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

OWB 10g Release 2 from 32 bit to 64 bit on Linux

Hi guys,
I have a client who is planning to migrate their Linux server from 32 bit to 64 bit and migrate their Oracle database from 10.2.0.3 from 32 bit server to 10.2.0.3 from 64 bit server.
We have OWB 10g Release 2 (10.2.0.3) installed in the 32 bit server.
Our DBA is planning to move the entire database to the new server including the OWB repositories.
My question is,
Will the following work?
1. Install the OWB 10g Release 2 (10.2.0.3 or 10.2.0.4) 64 bit in the new 64 bit Linux 64 bit server
2. Remove all the OWB repository user schemas & roles from the database where OWB is installed
3. Install the OWB repository in the new 64 bit server
4. Import the .mdl backup of the project from existing OWB 32 bit to the new OWB 64 bit server
5. Configure the project with the new server
OR
Since our DBA is planning to move the entire database to the new server including the OWB repositories
1. Install the OWB 10g Release 2 (10.2.0.3) 64 bit in the new 64 bit Linux 64 bit server
Will I be able to access my repository that is migrated from the 32 bit server (avoiding the installation of OWB repository and importing the project and configuring the whole project in the new server) ?
Please someone shed some light on this. Your help is appreciated
Thanks in advance....

Does this mean, ... we have to install the OWB 64 bit and install a new repository in the 64 bit server?In my opinion you don't need to create new repository.
After migrating database to 64bit perform steps from Metalink note 434272.1 "How To Update Warehouse Builder 10.2 After A Database Cloning".
It is better to save the same path for new OWB 64bit software. If you install OWB into different path you need to update OWBRTPS table with new path to OWB software (look at metalink note 550271.1).

Oleg

OWB 10g repository assistants no longer work on 10.3.0.1 win2003

Just posted this to the database forum... oops.... now that I'm in the right spot...
I just installed Oracle 10.2.0.1 for win2k3 and OWB 10g. With 10.1.xxx the design and runtime reporitory assistants worked fine building their respective schemas, but with the new database release, they tell me that sys and system (and any other user with dba priv's) need to have dba priv's. Is this a known bug in the new release for winsrv?

From Metalink note 332371.1:
The OWB 10.1.0.2 and 10.1.0.3 versions are not certified with the 10gR2 database.
A complete 10gR2 certification will be available for the OWB 10.1.0.4 patch.
You will need to wait for the release of the 10.1.0.4 OWB patch or use and earlier version of the Database.

Collection of stats prior to 10g upgrade for dictionary tables

Collection of stats prior to 10g upgrade for dictionary tables is required? I thought if you are upgrading from 9i to 10g the stats in 9i become stale in 10g.
I read a document that says you need to collect stats prior to upgrade and import them once your upgrade is done. Can someone guide me?

I don't know where did you get these? There's some optimizer improvement and new feature in 10g. Collecting stats before upgrade and import later is unheard of.
I suggest you check this article
Choosing An Optimal Stats Gathering Strategy
http://structureddata.org/2008/03/26/choosing-an-optimal-stats-gathering-strategy/
and the white paper mentioned,
White Paper entitled Upgrading from Oracle Database 9i to 10g: What to expect from the Optimizer.

SCD type 2 in OWB 10g R2

Hello,
I am trying out the SCD type 2 in OWB 10g R2. I have no hierarchies and hence created a dimension with one level. Apart from three business attributes I have 2 mandatory attributes as "EFFECTIVE_DATE" and "EXPIRY_DATE". I have set one of the business attributes to "Trigger History".
I have 3000 rows in the source table. There is no transformation. the data is loaded from source to this dimension directly. One business attribute is loaded using a constant.
When I executed the mapping, all 3000 rows are populated in the target with the expiry date column having null values and current date in the effective date, which is absolutely fine. When I execute the mapping again without changing anything in the source, rows are inserted in to the target with the effective date set to the second run and the expiry date set to previous effective date. As I understand new rows should be inserted only if there is change in the data.
Please correct me if I am wrong. Please clarify and if my understanding is right where am I doing wrong with OWB?
Your help is greatly appreciated
Thanks a lot on advance!
Regards,
Maruthi

Hi Roelant,
I think it is important to be aware that although Paris - 10gR2 - is not actually buggy (in this respect!), it is really quite idiosyncratic in exactly how it processes SCDs.
I followed up on your and Mark's comments, and did an in depth analysis of this topic. It is at http://www.donnapkelly.pwp.blueyonder.co.uk/documents/OWB_10gR2_SCD.pdf
My conclusions are perhaps of interest to anyone considering doing SCD processing with Paris.
I'll be doing a follow-up this weekend, and publishing a sort of 'how-to-do-it' guide.
Cheers,
Donna

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

Heavu CPU Utilization of Dictionary Query - After 9i to 10g Upgrade

Hi Friends,
We have migrated our production DB from Oracle 9i(Windows) to Oracle 10g(AIX) and after that a heavy cpu utilization query is coming frequently and hence many timeouts are happening in the application.
Application is connecting to the database through Java Application (JDBC).
Once the application service is started, below query is invoked and CPU takes around 20% continuously.
The interesting thing is this query is not owned by the application schema but by SYS and it's invoked from Application Schema.
We have raised an SR but still no luck.
Any help will be very much appreciated.

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.
