OWB 11.2 and OBII

Hello,
actually we have an Oracle-DB 11.1 with OWB 11.1 and Oracle Business Intelligence 10.1.3.4.
Now we want to use OWB 11.2. So we have to update the DB-Repository to 11.2.
That should make no problems - i hope.
But is Oracle Business Intelligence 10.1.3.4 (Answers and the Dashboards) compatibel with this repository (now in version 11.2) ?
Or do we also need to update the Oracle Business Intelligence?
We want test this - of course - in a test-environment - not on our prod-system.
If someone say directly, this won´t work, then we don´t want to make us more work:)
No one experience with this?
Many thanks
Best regards
Heidi

Hi Heidi ,
First of all , I have no prior experience in OBIEE .
http://www.oracle.com/technology/products/warehouse/pdf/owb_roadmap.pdf
says OWB 11.2 Release Integrates with Oracle BI Enterprise Edition (OBIEE)
But no OBIEE version is mentioned .
I think you do not have to make any change at the OBIEE level as the rpd created by 11.1 and 11.2 is same .
I think it should compatible be because 10.1.3.4.1 is the latest and 10.1.3.4.0 is just prior to that .. there is no new features introduced between these 2 versions .. functionality wise both versions are same ..
You can try to open the rpd using 10.1.3.4.0 admin tool .. if it could open successfully, then there is no issues ..
Thanks,
Sutirtha

  • 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?

  • What is the difference between owb repository owner and repository user?

    what is the difference between owb repository owner and repository user?

    Hi,
    the repository owner has full rights to do every thing in the repository. There is only one repository owner.
    There may be multiple repository user for one of the following two purposes:
    1. When working in a team, each team member can be added as a different repository user and can have different grants assigned. That way you can also see who has deployed what objects or who has run a mapping.
    2. To be able to deploy into a database schema, that db user user has to be added as repository user as well. Make sure the "user is target schema" checkbox is checked.

  • OWB - Installation Architecture and Infrastructure configuration

    I thought it is a good idea to throw this out to the OWB community to see what your thinking is.
    This is my first project; we are currently on detail design. The Client requests a document that covers the following details.
    Architecture and Infrastructure configuration for OWB - Oracle Warehouse Builder – which is to be targeted at an ehosting data centre.
    •     What is the best practice either from Oracle
    •     Is it best to go for a 2Tier or 3Tier architecture
    Infrastructure being of interest is:
    •     The use of Application server and web service for giving visibility and access to the runtime / design repository via the repository browser.
    •     The applicable application service i.e.: Control Centre Service
    Can this distributed over multiple servers if you application server differs from you database server.
    •     Do you have any information similar to this you compiled in the past that I can use
    •     Or is there any source you can direct me to get this kind of information

    Can this distributed over multiple servers if you
    application server differs from you database server.This is not an OWB question. This is a database question. You are asking something like 'can I run Oracle with Apache with Tomcat?'. Simple answer is yes. Compex answer is load balancing?

  • Export/import OWB (10.1 and PARIS) metadata problems

    I am attempting to import an OWB 10.1–exported map into an OWB 10.2/PARIS repository .. this failed as follows from the Paris Design Center menu bar ...
    Design – Import – Warehouse Builder Metadata and specify a previously exported OWB 10.1 map. I receive the following message … ”Metadata version is not compatible with you current repository version. Upgrading the file is required to import your metadata”
    … Selecting ”UPGRADE” yields the following …

    any advice on importing OWB 10.1 metadata(maps) into OWB PARIS ? as I am trying to create business case for upgrading from OWB 10.1 to PARIS.

    There is a similar issue logged in our Support database relating to this type of problem. The bug (ref number 5309802) has some workarounds relating to issues within an MDL file relating to non-unique IDs and blank properties for certain objects.
    The log file should tell you exactly where the problem objects are located, row and column reference. If you could open a TAR with Oracle Support and send them the log file and the associated MDL file they should be able to organize a fix for you.
    If you want to try this yourself then make a backup of the MDL file. Next open the MDL file using Winzip and extract the two files within the MDL file. The larger of the two files is in fact an XML file. Open this file in a text editor that shows line and column numbers. Now refer back to the log file and find the error messages from that file and cross reference row/column numbers within the XML file and see if the error makes sense to you. If it does, correct the error and then rezip everything back into an MDL file and try importing the MDL file again.
    Alternatively you may want to leave this to Oracle Support to manage for you.
    Hope this helps

  • OWB 10.2 and RAC - workflow location question

    Hi,
    2 node RAC 10.1.0.5 on windows installed, OWB 10.2 installed on both nodes. WF 2.6.3 installed.
    Workflow with wait activity succeds and fails depending on the workflow location setup:
    a) WF location defined via host port service pointing at one node(which is what I do NOT want), workflow executes and waits for 120 sec's I have specified.
    b) WF location defined via tnsnames(which is what I want, since I'm running RAC and want to be able to benefit from failover), workflow executes but fails with a
    ora-01867 the interval is invalid, ora-06512 error converting string to numeric wb_rt_conversions line 371.
    In this setup I had to enable WF_LOCAL_LANGUAGES for Denmark(DK) or else I would not be able to deploy the workflow.
    It seems that localisation information in case b) is not picked up from the database as it is in the case of a).
    When I change localisation on the rac servers to English(America) case b) works again. However I do not want to have the server localised to English(America) because it affects a lot on the servers(dates, times comma dot and so on).
    So I tried adding locale settings in the registry for the owb and the database home - but no luck.
    Please anybody any ideas? I do not want to pinpoint my locations to a single rac node!!!
    Best regards,
    JesperG

    Hi Oleg,
    I've run this query and it returned nothing.
    If I executed "+select * from WF_RESOURCES+" I get the following result:
    TYPE     NAME     LANGUAGE     SOURCE_LANG     ID     TEXT     PROTECT_LEVEL     CUSTOM_LEVEL
    WFTKN     WF_SYSTEM_GUID     US     US     0     7AC9849FA8371A30E044080020ACF7CA     0     0

    Does it mean that the repository wasn't ok?

  • OWB, Oracle WorkFlow, and OEM

    I am a DBA who has been charged with the task of integrating Oracle Warehouse Builder, Oracle Workflow and OEM. Our source database is 9i but our Intelligence Team would like to use 10G. Does anyone know how I might install this? Should I install 10G, then create a database for OWB and Oracle Workflow? Any direction would be helpful.

    Hi,
    Have you found an answer? If not read on.
    We are also having the same combination.
    1. Identify a target server (datawarehouse server).
    2. Install 10G database on it (create a seed database with DWH option).
    3. Install OWB
    4. Install workflow server.
    Then , make OWB setups :
    1. Install a design repository, through which the team can carry out ETL in the OWB client.
    2. Install a runtime repository which creates 2 users - a runtime repository owner and a runtime access user('connect as') user when deploying the ETL mappings.
    3. Install a target schema using the runtime where the target objects - tables, dimensions and cubes will be created.
    Then, in OWB, the team have to configure the source modules as 9i and the target modules as 10g.
    Hope this helps.

  • Owb process execution and alert message

    Hi,
    Do we have any provision to give an alert message in OWB during or before starting execution a process? If any please let me know.
    Thanks
    Ram

    HI,
    There is no such option as of now.
    You can maintain your own audit tables and you can register the messages of your processing. Whenever you start process or end process, you can log a record in ur defiend audit tables.
    If you want to implement in mappings, you can use premap and postmap operators to log the details.

  • OWB 10gR2 - Security and Change Control

    I am attempting to setup a customized change control policy in 10gr2. As part of change control, I'll need to setup security to only allow changes to objects that are scoped to the version. In previous versions, I could use WBSecurityServiceImpl. With 10gr2, it looks like the security is more tightly integrated into the control center and I am trying to determine the best strategy.
    The interface to control changes in OWB will likely be written in Unix (ksh scripts that run tcl scripts in OMBPlus).
    By default, users will have read-only access on all objects. If a change is required, they will need to "check out" the map. Only one user will be able to check out an object at any time. When a map is checked out, a snapshot will be made, and the user will be given access to edit the object.
    Once the change is complete, the map will be "checked in", the edit priv will be revoked from the object, and a description of the change will be recorded in a table outside of the control center.
    If developer determines that they do not want to make the change, they will simply "release" the object which will cause OWB restore the last snapshot.
    If the change is checked in but it is later determined that we need to go back to a previous version of a map, we could "restore" the object from a previous snapshot from the command line.
    That is my basic change control strategy. Has anyone attempted to do something similar? Could anyone see problems with this strategy?
    I'd really appreciate some feedback from any OWB experts out there. Thanks.

    Hi,
    you can use the security options in the project configuration. It's for new and old objects, there you can restrict the permissions.
    Regards,
    Detlef

  • OWB 10gr2 - MDL1601 and MDL1201 - Metadata Import Problems

    I am running OWB 10gr2 on top of a 10gr2 database for the repository. I'm trying to do an export of an entire project into MDL, and then import it into another repository in a different environment, with same setup (both OWB and database are 10gr2 there as well).
    The export goes fine, but when trying to import, I get two different error messages:
    1) After selecting the MDL file to import, if I click the "Import" button I get a-
    "MDL1601: Cannot import because the base language in the MDL file is missing"
    2) Also if I try to click the "Show Summary" or "Advanced..." buttons on the import screen, I instead get a-
    "MDL1201: Import file is not valid. Metadata Loader release must by specified in import data file using the MDLRELEASE keyword."
    As to the first error, I have verified in my source repository that the Base Language is in fact listed as "American English", and have even gone so far as to add basic "English" as an additional display language using the repository assistance, but this brings no improvement.
    As to the second error, I have already found the post here in the forums explaining that it is due to a corrupted MDL file because of insufficient Java VM memory. However, I have tried the solution recommended there, also with no improvement. (it is here: Re: MDL1201: Import data file is not valid.
    Any help that someone can provide would be greatly appreciated. For purposes of backing up my repository project, I'm getting concerned that if I ever needed to, I'd never be able to restore from a MDL export file!
    Thanks in advance for any help.

    The error is due to the corrupted MDL file. MDL is getting corrupted because there is not enough memory for java VM. To fix the MDL corruption increase memory parameters.
    1. On client PC: XXXX\owb\bin\win32\owbclient.bat change
    java -Xms64M -Xmx768M -Dlimit=768M -XX:MaxPermSize=256M
    to
    java -Xms64M -Xmx1024M -Dlimit=1024M -XX:MaxPermSize=512M
    Restart client session.
    It did fix the problem in my case.
    Oracle also recommends changing memory parameters on the server side (UNIX in my case)
    2.On server side XXXX/owb/bin/unix/run_service.sh
    $JAVAPATH/bin/java -Xmx768M
    to
    $JAVAPATH/bin/java -Xmx1024M
