OWB 9.2 on 10g?

At work, I'm running 9.2.0.2.8 on DBMS 9iR2. So, I export the .mdl file, email it home, and load it to a 9.2.0.2.8 client. I'm also running DBMS 10g. (10.1.0.2.0). I import the .mdl, and try to deploy some objects that are giving me a problem. Then, I get an RPE-01011 "Cannot deploy to target database location because it does not have a compatible version".
Just for fun, I do a SELECT from WB_RT_PLATFORM PROPERTIES, and property.RuntimePlatform.0.version is indeed 9.2.0.2.8, just like my client.
So what does this mean? Version incompatibilities between the original development RDBMS and my personal environment? Or what? The message is just a little bit cryptic!
Best regards,
Donna

Hi Donna,
Are you implying you want to go from 10g to 9.2 using
import/export of MDL? I don't think this is tested
in-house, so you may want to test this...Hi Jean-Pierre
Umm. Not quite. I run 10g on my personal kit, but was trying to reproduce my client's environment.
Reinstalling 9.2 would work, no problem with that,
simply re-register the locations to the new box and
make sure the setup (runtime repos) runs on 9.2Yeah, true, but sod it. I already got so many version installations, it drives me crazy. I'll use my 10g OWB and that will be that.
(FYI, I have a five machine personal setup, including a huge SMP RAID box. I've got everything since 8.1.6 and Scalpels).
(Also FYI, I am a Principal Consultant in England in OWB, having used it since it first became commercially available). Now see my next post, and see how much help I need (because I am legally blonde).
Best regards,
Donna

OWB paris install on 10g rel1 RAC cluster

We are trying to install OWB paris on our 10.1.0.4 RAC cluster using OCFS. When launching OUI without setting oracle home the OUI prompts to install on both nodes, the install fails because it is trying to use the database oraInventory.
as below
Error in invoking target 'isqlldr' of makefile
'/u01/app/oracle/OraHome_2/rdbms/lib/ins_rdbms.mk'. See
'/u01/app/oracle/oraInventory/logs/installActions2005-07-11_10-28-24AM.log' for details.
Metalink suggested the following:
Note:317510.1
Create a seperate oraInventory folder and oraInst.loc file for OWB and specify the file oraInst.loc as parameter while invoking the installer.
Re-install the OWB in a new ORACLE_HOME i.e altogether in a new location and don't install on top of database ORACLE_HOME.
In addition to new location(ORACLE_HOME), create a new Inventory and inventory location file as follows.
1. Set the new location for installing OWB like
export ORACLE_HOME=/u01/app/oracle/product/owb
ensure that the location /u01/app/oracle/product/ exists.
2. Create a diectory oraInventory inside the ORACLE_HOME
3. Create a file oraInst.loc pointing to oraInventory in $ORACLE_HOME by doing:
echo "inventory_loc=$ORACLE_HOME/oraInventory" > oraInst.loc
Note: the directory oraInventory and file oraInst.loc will be present under ORACLE_HOME
4. Invoke the installer by providing the parmater as
./runInstaller -invPtrLoc $ORACLE_HOME/oraInst.loc
When we do this, the OUI does not prompt to install on both nodes.. how can we work around this?, do we have to install owb on each individual node individually?

Hello.
I had the same problem as you did. But i managed to install OWB on both nodes with user equvalents set and by slightly modifying the steps from metalink as follows:
unset ORACLE_HOME (if it is set)
create owb directory
create oraInst.loc in owb
create oraInventory directory in owb
export ORACLE_HOME=/u01........./owb_1
./runInstaller
(note no command line parameters so it picks up the other node)
Basically if you specify the oraInst.loc it goes tot he oraInventory direct instead of doing checks (one of which for the cluster)
Hope this helps.
Thanks

Different Client Versions in OWB 9i and 10g

Hi,
Our client is using 9i OWB Client Software, and we are planning to use OWB10g Client Software on Windows Platform.
Will there be any compatability issues while moving from 9i OWB Client Software to 10g Client software.
And what are other parameters we need to consider, if possible please mention any documents links available.
Kindly let me know the pros/cons in this model .
Here my main question is will there be backward compatibility, i.e repository in 9i database need to connect by using the OWB 10g client?
With Regards,
Kranth...
Edited by: user8536050 on Jan 18, 2010 1:44 AM

Hi,
you cannot use different client versions on the same repository. If you want to use owb 10g, then you have to upgrade the repository to 10g. Then you can only use 10g clients, owb 9i clients cannot connect to that repository.
Regards,
Carsten.

OWB-Import does not distinguish between nls_length_semantics char and byte.

We have a 10g-DB with UTF8 charset and nls_length_semantics=char and we've created an OWB warehouse module for 10g with several tables in it. After deploy operation for a table the column length attributs are looking nice. But if we re-import this table the varchar fields have the threefold length!
This makes life hard for us, because sometimes it's necessary to reconcile discrepancies in development cycle and some tables have about 150 columns.
Does anybody have suggestions?
The OWB version is 10.1.0.3.0.
Regards
Ralf

Ralf,
Oracle stores the length of VARCHAR columns in two ways in its metadata. One is the length as required by the application, and the other is the length required to store UTF data.
One UTF character can take upto 3 characters of storage. When OWB reads in the definition from data dictionary, it uses the actual characters allocated to the column, and thus u see a three fold increase in VARCHAR columns.
Try this for your table
select
column_name, data_length, char_length
from
user_tab_columns
where
table_name='nameOfTable'
And that is how Oracle designed the database, but unfortunately OWB does not have that twin way of seeing things.

Can I pass a parameter to a mapping without using a process flow?

I have to load data from multiple countries at different times. Rather than creating an individual mapping for each country, I want to create 1 mapping and pass the country code as a parameter to the mapping. I tried to use an input parameter in the mapping and add a custom parameter to the sqlplus_exec_template hoping the custom parameter would pass to the mapping input parameter but it's not working. No data loads.
When I add a default value to the input parameter, the data loads but this isn't the solution I need. The value of the parameter will vary depending on the country so I can't use defaults. Since the mappings load automatically, I need the script to be able to pass the parameter in.
I'm trying to avoid going through a process flow because that just seems like overkill for what I need to do. I just want to load all the data where country code = 'X'. Is this even possible?

o.k. I tried everything to see which would be the best scenario.
Zeppo - I can't use your solution because ".main", I believe, applies to an older version of OWB. We have 10g. I know in 3.1 ".main" applies because I still have mappings from that version. Doesn't apply to 10g.
Sutirtha - I set the property for the prompt but it still didn't work.
MccM - Yes, the premapping process works perfectly. Only thing is that I have to come up with so many different scenarios in the If then else logic. Giving me a migraine ...
.... so ....
I punked out and created a table that stores all of the load times by country code. In the joiner, I linked the table's country code to the country code in my view and only retrieved data where the table's load hour equals the sysdate hour. Now all I have to do is change an entry in the working table if I need to reschedule a load.
It's cluggy but it works ... and I met me goal of only using 1 mapping.
Thanks to all of you for providing your input. Much appreciated.

Triggering process flows (run it whenever source changes)

Hello everyone,
I have created several process flows which includes many mappings. Now i want to run the process flow automatically whenever there is new data inserted in the source tables of those mappings. Is there a way to do this in OWB. i am using OWB R2 and Oracle 10g. Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Thank You

Hi,
one way is to create (outside OWB) an update/insert/delete-trigger on the table and start the mapping in a begin-end-block of the trigger after an insert or update.
Look at the oracle library for triggers and you get it.
CREATE OR REPLACE TRIGGER test_trigger
AFTER INSERT OR UPDATE OR DELETE
ON table_test
DECLARE
result_num number;
BEGIN
<call mapping or process flow here>
result_num :=WB_RT_API_EXEC.RUN_TASK(p_location_name
, p_task_type
, p_task_name
, p_custom_params
, p_system_params
, p_oem_friendly
, p_background);
<some code to analyze the result code>
<exception handler>
END;

Oracle Workflow for owb10g2

I need to install a OWF 2.6.4 for OWB 10g2 on DB 10g Release 2.
where can I find a download for software and a documentation??
is it implicit installed by App Server?

The Workflow software is included in the 10g database pack. If you are downloading the zip files, you need the Companion DVD which I think is number three in the set of available files.
Unzip the file and run the installed on the same machine as your target database instance. Install the Workflow part (option 2 in the list of possible installation options) into your existing 10g database home.
Once the install is complete, goto ORACLE_HOME/wf/install and run wfinstall.csh on unix or wfinstall.bat on Windows. This will launch the installer for Workflow that will create the Workflow user. For the connection settings on the Workflow installer watch out for syntax. The screen seems to indicate you can use a TNSNAMES entry, however, I have only managed to get this to work by providing a JDBC format string "hostname:port:sid".
Once the OWF_MGR user has been created you can then register that user as an OWB repository user using the normal OWB Repository wizard.
Hope this helps

PRS-00302:Name ORBIT Already committed in repository. Please Synchronize.

Hi,
There is no such PROJECT named as "ORBIT" in our OWB design repository. But, if I want to rename one project to ORBIT, it is giving the below mentioned error:
PRS-00302:Name <ORBIT> Already committed in repository. Please Synchronize...
Even if I synchronize the current view with repository, still this error comes. This problem is occuring for quite some time (i.e. for last two weeks).
If I check the data existing in the view ALL_IV_PROJECTS in the design repository schema through SQL, then also it did not show the above project name 'ORBIT', and still OWB is not allowing me to rename any existing project to ORBIT.
SQL> select * from ALL_IV_PROJECTS where PROJECT_NAME='ORBIT';
no rows selected
Our OWB version is Oracle 10g 10.1.0.4.0 for both client and repository.
Can you please let me know how to fix the above error and rename the project.
Thanks & Regards,
lenin

Mahesh,
You are not allowed to drop objects directly from the views. The views that you may want to use FOR QUERY PURPOSES are the ones that start with ALL_IV_. You should never delete any records directly from the views nor from the tables. Warehouse Builder's model is totally based on a logical model that is implemented in the Java layer that accesses the tables. A public Java API and scripting language are available to you if you want to manipulate the metadata through the command line. I am affraid you may have corrupted the repository by deleting from the view manually. Notice that anything contained by the project will still exist in the (corrupted) repository.
What may work (since Warehouse Builder cashes everything) is to close the design client and restart; then try again. Alternatively, you could try dropping the project once again through the OMB PLUS scripting language (see http://otn.oracle.com/products/warehouse/sdk/Scripting%20Pages/Scripting_home.htm). Other than that... I don't have a solution.
Thanks,
Mark.

Conditional Sequence Generation Howto?

I have a requirement to populate a field X with a auto generated sequence number when the field X is blank. The sequence should not have any gaps in the numbering. (I am able to generate a sequence with gaps) How would I go about doing this?
I had found some suggestions in the forum using the split operator but could not get it to work correctly. I am use OWB 10gR2 and Oralce 10g as the database.
Thanks,
Moses.

I'm assuming that you've added your code segment to EmpImpl.java.
The first parameter to SequenceImpl() should be the name of a database sequence, not the name of a table column.
Once you've changed that, if you still get the same error, you need to check whether EmpImpl.java has a method called setId(), since this is what your error is complaining about. Your entity should contain accessor (getter and setter) methods by default. If your entity doesn't have these methods, then edit the entity, select the Java tab in the Entity Object Wizard, and check "accessor methods" for the entity object class.
Lastly, I recommend testing your business components in the business component browser (aka the tester). This is a way of making sure your business logic works before you try to run your client.

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.

OWB on Oracle 10G Release 2

Dear all,
I planned to use an Oracle 10G Release 2 database for a new OWB project. Research on the web just told me that this new version of the database does not support OWB, because of a check for DBA privileges.
The website advises to either use an earlier version of the database (10g R1) or wait for the release of the 10.1.0.4 patch for OWB.
Is this patch available at this moment? If so, can anyone tell me where I can download it? If not, does anyone know when this patch will be released?
Thanks in advance
Paul Versluis

Hi,
I have installed 10.1.0.4 OWB on Suse 9.3 and Suse 10 x86.
I sent correction notes to Oracle Documentation team as there were a few errors for the Linux Install.
More importantly i found in 10.1.0.4 one of the key install shell scripts will never work as the coders forgot to export a JAVAPATH variable meaning the script could never find the JRE
Good to see ORACLE test the installation of their releases
When i get back from Bew Year holiday i will send you my notes if you like

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.....
