OWB 10gR1 Repository and 10gR2 Database

Hi,
we have a problem in installing OWB Design Repository 10gR1 on 10gR2 Database. The Repository assistant hangs with message "INS0003 The User should have DBA privileges to complete the installation". I'm connected as SYS....
Regards,
Hakon.

Her is a workaround I get from Oracle, may it works. Till this time I can't test it, try it on your own risk.
Regards

Using the 050621 shiphome release of 10gR2 on Linux we have noticed the INTERACTIONEXECUTE stored procedure is defined with definer rights - it should be invoker rights.
Using the stored procedure to create an AW will create the AW in the SYS schema.
The only workaround is to redefine the stored procedure in the SYS schema with invoker rights.
CREATE OR REPLACE function interactionexecute(input CLOB) return varchar2 AUTHID CURRENT_USER
as language java name 'oracle.AWAction.Interaction.Execute(oracle.sql.CLOB)
return java.lang.String';

Informatica Repository and Target database

I have a scenario in which the repository database is DB1 and target database is DB2. How is that possible? I mean isnt the target database stored in the repository? Is it still alright?

Hi,
Informatica repository tables generally referred as OPB tables and which has all the data related to your mappings and by using these tables informatica will refer the mappings.

Pourriez-vous m'indiquez la procédure à suivre pour le cas suivant.La base de données Oracle de réferenciel BO et la base d'Audit, sont actuellement sur un serveur A.Pour diverses raisons elles devront migrer sur un autre serveur B, dont le nom et l'adresse IP sont differents.Pouvez-vous me donner les étapes à effectuer et dans quel ordre.Merci.
Bonne journée,Karine.
Hi,
Could you tell me the process to follow for the following case:The Audit and Repository Oracle databsses are located on the A serveur.For some raisons, the databases have to migrate on a B serveur, wich IP and name different.Could you give me all the steps to do and in the good order ?Thank you.
Have nice day,Karine.

Karine,
You will have to down your BO services. Then on the BO server modify the ODBC connection from pointing from its current target (the BO server presumably), to the new server (hopefully account names and passwords have not changed, but if they have changed, then you'll have to take care of that detail as well). Once the ODBC connection is corrected, then you should be able to bring up the BO services again.

How to migrate 10gR1 repository to OWB 11gR2?

We are trying to migrate OWB 10gR1 repository to OWB 11gR2?
But are being faced with version compatibility issues.
Is there any work-around for the same?

This is a bit before my time, so I'm not very familiar with how the repository worked in 10gR1, but you might have a look at this... assuming you at least have the database credentials for the repository owner, it looks like you can perform user management tasks through this helper package that might get you an OWB user that can access everything, and let you move your design into 10.2 (from which you can migrate on to 11.2).

Maintaining Repository Users
Multiple identifiable Warehouse Builder users can access the same central repository schema when they are registered by the repository owner.
Warehouse Builder includes utility procedures for the following maintenance tasks:
* Update the role protecting password
Although the repository owner does not explicitly use the protecting password for the role, it is recommended that the repository owner change the password often.
The repository owner must connect to the repository schema using SQL Plus and issue the following statement:
Call WBSecurityHelper.updateRolePwd('newpwd');
where'newpwd' is the new password used to protect the role chosen by repository owner. The changed password encryption appears in the table called OWB_ROLE_INFO table.
* Register repository users
Warehouse Builder users must be database users located in the same database instance as the repository. The database user's default role should not be ALL. Use 'After user xxx DEFAULT Role x' to set the default role property.
To register a repository user, execute the following statement in SQL Plus:
call WBSecurityHelper.registerOWBUser ('username')
* Unregister repository users
To unregister a user from a repository, execute the following statement in SQL Plus:
Call WBSecurityHelper.unregisterOWBUser('username');
* List all repository users
The repository owner must connect to the database containing the repository and issue the following statement:
Set serveroutput on;
Call WBSecurityHelper.listOWBUser( );
Set serveroutput on is required since listOWBUser() uses the DBMS_OUTPUT.put_line for the output to dump the data to the user interface. Otherwise, DBMS_OUTPUT.put_line only dumps the output into an intermediate data structure.
The preceding user maintenance tasks should be performed in the repository by the repository owner.

One schema for OWB Design repository, runtime repository and target schema

Currently we have contents of OWB Design schema, runtime schema and target schema all combined into one schema of the same database in OWB 9.0.2 as well as OWB3i. We like to move to OWB10g in very near future. Can we keep the same structure for convenience of migration in OWB10g? Is it mandatory that OWB design repository (and components) must be separate from OWB run time repository (and components) and target schema? In other words is it possible and workable to use only one schema to contain OWB design repository, OWB run time repository and target schema in OWB10g environment with repositories to be situated on Oracle v9.2.0.1.0? Also what special considerations should be taken to create the database v9.2.0.1.0 and installation of OWB10g. What are the problems/side-effects to have all in one schema?
Also please let me know how to install Oracle Workflow server to be used along with OWB. Will OWB10g work with repository on Oracle database v9.2.0.1.0?
Your prompt advice will be very well appreciated.
Sankar

The design repo is a metadata repo that stores all the design-time objects and so forth.
It is an architectural decision that you or your team need to decide on. There are many flexible ways to architect an OWB infrastructure.
Also, your repository users will be using the design repository on the the other DB instance to do their design work...potentially less people always hitting the target database all the time.

Forms 6i and 10R2 database

Hi gurus,
i have an application with lot of forms and reports in 6i version. I need now to upgrade my database in 10GR2 (10.2.0.4).
Then, can i continue to use my old 6i forms and reports application without problem. Even it is not supported (by oracle), can i still work with forms and reports 6i and 10GR2 database ?
Thx by advance.

Forms 6i runs well against Oracle 10gR2 as long as you use a single byte codepage, eg iso8859p15.
As soon as you like to use Unicode, I would highly recommend to upgrade to Webforms 10g.
We have recently upgraded our whole application to Unicode Webforms, as we now have customers around the world (even in China or Turkey). All customers are using "the same code base" and their native language. Users can even switch languages back and forth on the run. Works like a charm.
I am so glad, we finally did this migration step, as more and more services and programs are used within a webbrowser anyway.
How many forms modules are you talking about?

How to find the executables for OWB Client, Design and Runtime Repositories

Hi Guys,
I have installed OWB 10G in the my local desktop (in D Drive). From the start menu, I can see the menu options for OWB Client, OWB Design Repository and OWB Run time Repository. If I want to get that execuatbles from which location can I find out. All the menu options are pointing out into d:\OWB Home \....\bin\launch.exe, but when we hit launch.exe nothing is displayed on the screen. can anyone give their suggestions pls
Regards
Kishan

launch.exe is the executable but if you look at the lnk files in your start menu the launch exe is followed by two parameters where the last one points to a specific cl file (I'm guessing short for command line) in the same bin directory that also contains a number of parameters. Here all the java jar files are listed that are needed to launch the specific component and how much memory the application can/may use.
So you won't find a classic windows executable if that is what you are looking for. But why are you searching for this in the first place since you can just copy the shortcut/lnk file if you want shortcuts in other places?

Issue in OWB mapping - when changing source and target database

Hi,
I need help for resolution of the issue I am facing when moving mapping from development environment to QA.
Here is situation,
We develop ETL using one source, one staging and one target database.
In development we use one control_center for Source to staging and another control center staging to target.
All works fine in development.
Now I have created new runtime repository and imported all OWB projects (with full dependencies, exact replica of development). Now I need to change source and staging and target as different database.
I have created new database location connections and defined/attached DB connectors with stage and target location.
Now issues are
1.     Two Staging mapping are not able to bound with source table (giving different error
a.     One mapping show error for source synonym translation no longer valid when deploying this mapping , but validation comes without any issue)
b.     Other mapping show error for source table/object not bound to repository
2.     All the target mapping show validation successful, but when deploying says “table or view does not exist”. But tables are exists on source stage and target. (also permission are set correctly for target user to read from staging tables).
Not sure how to proceed from here.
I have recreated new repository and re-imported all project/mappings and defined all connection but still same issue.
Thanks in advance,
Vipin

1. Two Staging mapping are not able to bound with source table (giving different error
a. One mapping show error for source synonym translation no longer valid when deploying this mapping , but validation comes without any issue)
b. Other mapping show error for source table/object not bound to repository
The above error were resolved when re-synchronized the table (for few I have to reimport the table) and mapping.
2. All the target mapping show validation successful, but when deploying says “table or view does not exist”. But tables are exists on source stage and target. (also permission are set correctly for target user to read from staging tables).
The above error still pending. My target mapping are not able to deployed/compiled.
For the above I have defined one Staging location to one target target location and target location have connector to staging (not sure if I have to define connector name same as staging location, as I have created DB connector with different name but reference database is same as staging location).
Mapping are assoicated with desired data locatoin and meta data.
control center is also have that data location.
Mapping are configured for the desired location.

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.

Comparation between database XE and 10Gr2

Thanks in advanced & regards to all.There's not such a document for 10g and XE on Oracle website now. They updated the document for 11g.
I found one on the net, it's a PDF document, and it's for 10g:

11gR2 repository in 11gR2 database

Hi,
is it possible to install a 11gR2 repository in a 10gR2 database?
I'm somewhat clueless about this since the repository software is not available standalone (i.e. not in the context of the 11gR2 database).
But there should be a way following the statement in the [ OTN download area for standalone client |http://www.oracle.com/technetwork/developer-tools/warehouse/downloads/software/index.html] :
To install OWB 11.2 and host an OWB repository on Oracle Database 10 g Release 2 or Oracle Database 11 g Release 1.
regards
Thomas

Hi Thomas
Yes you can do this, you will need the 11gR2 standalone software, go to the OWB OTN page here and click on Downloads, the OWB standalone software is here.

OWB10gR2 : One Repository and Multiple Enviroments(Dev , QA and Prod)

Hi All,
In 10gR1 , Runtime repository and Design repository used to be 2 different schemas. Because of this , we can simply have one repository in development and deploy the mappings into QA and Prod.
In R2 , runtime and design objects are present in a single repository. Do we need to install separate repository for each of the environments(Dev, QA and Prod) or is there a way to manage multiple envs without multiple repositories?
Thanks in Advance
Mallee

Hello Malle,
We are in a similar situation so our setub looks something like this.
We have a database which serves the purpose of design repository. Let's call it owbdev.
We have three target databases (data warehouse). Let's call them whdev, whqa, whprd.
In the db owbdev we configured an owb user (as owner of the repository) and various other users (as developers).
In whdev, whqa and whprd we did the same configuration except this time, we called the repository owner in each of these target databases, owbrun. This will be what we call in R2 our control center.
Then we deploy from owbdev to any of the three targets after having setup the appropriate locations and control center configurations in owbdev.
If there is a better way to do things I'm open to any and all suggestions.
Mike

OWB Installation & Repository Configration

Hi All,
I have OWB installed on windows envirnment and my database (Oracle 10gR2) is on Solaris. I am tying to configure the repository in Oracle database.
In order to do that, it prompts me a message asking to have OWB software with the compatible version to be installed locally on the database server machine.
Is it posssible to configure OWB (On Windows) repository databse (on Solaris)?
Or do I need to install any OWB component on repository database as well?
Please suggest.
Thanks in Advance.
Regards,
Sonu Anand

Hi S Anand,
Configuration is quite possible in your case.
warning prompt is just for cnfirming the dedicated control center on same m/c as db server.
Steps to proceed :
1. Check the box : skipping
2. Follow the prompts and enter appropiate inputs
3. Create new OWB User
4. Once configurations completed, start the Contol Service
5. Login to design Center
Feel free to contact !

How to change the 'Default operating mode' of a mapping on the repository and not from the client

Hi everybody,
I am using OWB 11.2.0.3 and under the mapping's configuration property, I have the necessity to change the Run time parameter "Default operating mode" to SET_BASED in almost all my mappings.
Because I have 745 mappings in which the Default operating mode is different from SET_BASED, instead to open 745 times the 'Configure' and update manually the value, is there a way to update safely these values (with an oracle predefined script) directly on the repository ?
I know that exists a view called CMPSTRINGPROPERTYVALUE_V based on a table called CMPSCOPrpClasses, but changing this table it's very complicated for me because contains only keys and then I don't know in which way is connected with all the other structures....
If somebody knows a method more efficient to do these updates on the repository and not from OWB client I will appreciated it!
Thanks in advance
Alessandro

Urgent... help!!! Thanks
in short, my server log says transaction access mode is "read only", so my calling home.create() always triggers a transaction rollback. How to change the access mode to "read write"?
Is possible to work out through one of the descriptor files? Or ini settings of the underlying pointbase database? Or any other way around?

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.
