OWB Error handling through error tables

I have a mapping, which i want to implement error handling through error table, the table is created (error) and i have supplied it in the error table propertis in the target table. But i have tried testing if this is working by changing the data type of one column in my target database, but the whole mapping is failing to run with no error rerded in the error table. And i tried testing the this through sql and suprisingly the errors are being captured. How do i get the whole mapping to run and record the errors if any in the error table without it failing.

When you say 'the whole mapping is failing to run' what do you mean? Can you deploy the mapping? If not what is the error? When you run the mapping what happens?
If you look at the DML statement (the INSERT, MERGE or whatever) generated by OWB does it include the LOG ERRORS INTO statement in it?
There is a blog post below for OWB 11gR2;
http://blogs.oracle.com/warehousebuilder/entry/owb_11gr2_dml_error_logging
And an older one here which was based on OWB 10gR2

OWB error table is not working?

Dear Oracle Experts,
I new to oracle OWB.
Platform Oracle 11gr2 in centos linux
i have created a new mapping which transfers the data between two schemas.when I deploy i didnt face any errors and when i run the mapping it shows log
ORA-00001 unique constraint (RAHS2MIG1.PK_OBJECT) VOILATED.
IS it possible to record this message in Error table? Please if any one know how to record the error in error table.
I can only able to edit dml error table name box in property inspector but i cannot able to edit error table name.
Also
I have created the error table with the sql
SQL> connect rahs2mig1/rahs2mig1
Connected.
begin
dbms_errlog.create_error_log('migrationinfo','ERROR$_MIG') ;
end;
PL/SQL procedure successfully completed.
I have created the table ERROR$_MIG for the target schema object migrationinfo.After clicking the start option in the mapping.
ORA-00001 unique constraint (RAHS2MIG1.PK_OBJECT) VOILATED. error shows only in the log.
No errors record in the ERROR$_MIG table.
Please advise.
Thanks in Advance
Regards,
Vijay

Vijay,
IT isn't enough to define the error table at the DB level. You must also inform the mapping to generate code to utilize that error table. If you check the properties on the table object in the mapping you will find that there is an ERROR TABLE NAME property that you need to set to the name of the error table.
Also note that the ORACLE syntax to put errors into the error table requires that the mapping be doing set-based processing, so check and make sure that you are indeed generating and running in set-based mode.

Owb - error tables giving error info- what war ethey called? - 11.2.0.3

Hi,
We are using 11.2.0.3.
In old 10g we could see various metadata tables storing error info.
Where are such tables in 11.2.0.3 assume under workspace owners schema?
Any advice as to table names would be great.
Thanks

They have the same names, just the owner is OWBSYS. You need to set workspace before querying them.

DML error table intermittently fails to generate error handling in package

Hi!
In OWB 11gR2 (11.2.0.1), we're seeing an issue when setting the DML Error table name on a target table. Sometimes, mostly on older and complex mappings, the error handling logic does not get generated when we deploy the mapping, and nothing is populated in the error tables for error conditions, though the errors display as warnings in the OWB UI.
When I create a new mapping that is very simple - one table loading another - setting the DML Error table name always results in errors being put in the error table. That's great, but that doesn't help us with our more-complex mappings that aren't logging errors.
We can't determine the cause of the issue. I can't see a difference in the configuration of the mappings that work and don't work. Generation Mode is All Operating Modes. Default Operating Mode is Set based fail over to row based. We've generated the error table using DBMS_ERRLOG.CREATE_ERROR_LOG. The target tables do not have primary keys.
I've tried synchronizing the target table operator in the mapping as another forum thread suggested. No change.
Has anyone else seen this issue or know of a workaround?
Thanks,
Jayce

Which logic did you talk about ?
For the version 10, you will find the error table more on the insert statement such as:
INSERT INTO "TSALES"
("PROD_ID",
"SALES"."AMOUNT_SOLD" "AMOUNT_SOLD"
FROM
"SALES" "SALES"
LOG ERRORS INTO TSALES_ERR (get_audit_detail_id) REJECT LIMIT 50;Come from here:
http://blogs.oracle.com/warehousebuilder/2007/08/set_based_errors_dml_error_log.html
Then check the insert SQL generated.

Error in accessing data through external table

Hi,
I am getting the following error while trying to view data through external table,
ORA-29913: error in executing ODCIEXTTABLEOPEN callout
ORA-29400: data cartridge error
KUP-04062: no data source specified
ORA-06512: at "SYS.ORACLE_LOADER", line 19
according to this error "KUP-04062: no data source specified", location should be specified and i have specified the location as
LOCATION (<diectory_name>:' '),
then also it is giving the same error.
Please Help!

I am also got the same error when retrieving the data from external table.
I resolve this problem, like this:
1. I imported the flat file(.csv) into repository.
2. Map that flat file fields to database table cols.
3. Deployed the mapping using controlcenter, and run the mapping.
4. if it fails there, i loaded the flatfile data through the command prompt using "sqlldr" statement and control file is our mapping control file.
5 Then it loaded data into database table sucessfully.
Thanks.

Usage of Error Table in OWB mapping

WE uses ERROR tables to take care of defective items in a maping. We want the rows in the error-table to remain and acumulate for each loading. That is, we do not want to truncate between running the mapping. We have:
Truncate table error = NO
Roll-up errors = NO
But the table is truncated between each load anyway.
Does anyone have any experience of how to make the table not to truncated?
We are using OWB 11.2.0.1
/John

Hi John
This looks to be fixed in the 11.2.0.2 OWB patch.
The bug is 9661088, otherwise you'd have to move/process the errors before re-run.

Does "Target table" and "Error Table" need to be in same DB as OWB's?

We get the following error ORA-00600: internal error code, arguments: [opixrb-3], [1036], ORA-01036: illegal variable name/number at the time of OWB execution
OWB seems to successfully log the errors rows in the error table when a) target table and it’s b) error table are in the same database as OWB’s but throws ORA-01036 error when they are in a remote database from OWB's
Any one has any information about this please...? It will be of great help

Oracle has come back to us saying that
"DML error logging feature is not supported for distributed DML."

OWB 10.2.0.1 - Error Table

Hi All,
how can I use successfully the Error Table in a Mapping ? I have created 2 table (t_source [col_1 varchar2(10)] and t_target [col_2 varchar2(5)] ). I have configured mapping as rowbased and created with DBMS_ERRLOG.CREATE_ERROR_LOG one error table for each table.
But when i run mpaing (who discards every records ) i obtein empty error table ?!!
What can i do ?

Hi,
I have not tried to implement what has been said in the link, this link I had got from one of the replies in this forum.
One more approach you can try
For each of the object in OWB you can create data rules. There is a set of built-in data rules and also you can create your own set of data rules.
Once you have created these data rules on the fields of the table, you can deploy this table into your target schema. In the database, an error table is created for the table object.
Now when you use this table as a target in a mapping, click over the target table operator you will find the data rules node. Expand the node corresponding to the data rules for which you want error logging and then select 'MOVE TO ERROR' as Rule action.
Deploy the target table object and the mapping and execute it. Hopefully the rejections due to rule violations should get logged into error table, if you have set the Rule Action appropriately.

How to generate Error Table in OWB

Hi experts
I want to know about the rejected records. So
1. Should I create Error Table for that.?
2. Error table and shadow table are same thing..?
3. What are the steps to create error table.
Thanks in advance

from 10gR2 you could use shadow table.

OWB error log table

Hi All,
I am using OWB 11.2. In the target table property inspector under error table i have specified a error table and when i deploy my mapping it gets created on my target schema. Is there any way i can change the setting and get the error table created on some other schema.? We dont want to have the error table and reporting/target tables on the same reporting/target schema.
Please suggest.
Thanks
Kanwar

Hi Kanwar,
you cannot create the error table in another schema using owb. You have to do it manually:
as user1:
begin
dbms_errlog.create_error_log('DIM_DEMO','DIM_DEMO_ERR', 'USER2') ;
end;
/as user2:
grant select, insert, update , delete on USER2.dim_demo_err to USER1;In the mapping, you can specify the error table with schema: USER2.dim_demo_er

How to use error table in mapping level?

Hi all
Any one please tell me how to use error table in mapping level or how to handle the errors in mapping.
I am creating one error table in oracle but i dont know how to use it in mapping.
Thanks in advance.
Kumar

Hi Kumar,
You need to use Error Table along with the Data Rule .
Error tables are used with Logical error handlers (Data Rules). Detailed description on using data rules is explained in the following document
http://www.oracle.com/technology/products/warehouse/pdf/OWB10gR2_ETLandBusinessRules.pdf
In a nut shell usage of error tables is as follows.
1. Create a data rule associate it with a table (Target table or table in which you load data).
2. Use the table in a mapping as target table.
3. Deploy the table and mapping.
Now in the target schema one more table will be created with the name <target table name>_ERR. When a mapping is executed the data which violates the data rule gets into this error table.
The following has to be done to have error table name of customers choice.
1. Right click on the table and click configure.
2. Give the table name in "shadow table name" section.
3. Deploy the table.
4. Use this table in a mapping. Now in the mapping on this table properties in "Error Table Name" section the name of the table specified in "shadow table name" will be populated.
Thanks,
Sutirtha

Viewing form in Preview Mode Failed. Error: Table not found [131-183]

Hi,
I have created a user form in screen painter in SBODemo. Created UDT, UDF & Registered UDO through my SDK code.
Everything works fine.
But when i run my addon on any other DB, and open my custom form it gives an error : Table Not Found.
I have checked the UDT's , UDF's & my UDO, all are in place and getting created in the DB.
I tried checking the Form again in screen painter everything is in line. But when i try preview in screen painter it gives an error
Viewing form in Preview Mode Failed. Error: Table not found [131-183].
I can't figure out the issue, i have checked my codes & forms many times.
Regards
John

hi john smith,
Check your screen painter, probably some fields are defined without the "@" character in front.
for fields, check the "U_".

More than 50 rows in an error table?

Hello All,
In OWB 10.2.0.4 we are using the Error Tables (Shadow Table) functionality. This is working fine. However, during set based loading the number of errors that is logged into the error table is determined by the mapping configuration setting "maximum number of errors". You know, the one that has a silly default value of 50. This results in a bulk insert statement that has the following additional clause:
LOG ERRORS INTO MY_ERR (get_audit_detail_id) REJECT LIMIT 50
Now, this is what I would really want is:
LOG ERRORS INTO MY_ERR (get_audit_detail_id) REJECT LIMIT UNLIMITED
This is valid SQL, but I can't get the mapping configuration property to produce this value. It only accepts (positive) numbers. Any thoughts on how to get this to work?
Regards,
Ernst-Jan

Hi Ernst-Jan
The best you can do is pick a large number. Noo way to set UNLIMITED from the UI.
Cheers

Error table not working

Hi there
Tried to use the error table property of target table. Ensured one record violated not null constraint. This record not sent to error table. Also tried adding not nul constraint as a data rule.
Any ideas?
Also what is best way to log errors to a table, can't specify foreign key constraints
since our target table is a history table with code and eff date combined as primray key - would just wish to check for presence of code on another table since may have been added a diffrent day. Am I right in thinking the only way to do this would be via a mapping created manually since can't do key lookup or foreign key constraint on partial key match.
What is exact difference between shadow table and error table and what is best way to implement error logging. - new to OWB.
Many Thanks

What is the version of framework you are using ? I don't think there are any known issues of Javascript errors on table navigation. Can you check the javascript error and verify with the html source why it throws it.
