OWB INSTALATION

Dear Gurus,
The scenario is like this.
Server OS : Sun Solaris.
Server Database : Oracle 9i for unix.
Client OS : Win 2000 SERVER
Client Database : NOT INSTALLED
1. CAN I INSTALL OWB 9.2.0.2.8 CLIENT on Win2K machines and OWB 9.2.0.2.8 CLIENT+SERVER ON SUN SOLARIS??? IF SO HOW to connect from owb client to server.
2. DO I NEED TO INSTALL Oracle9i database Client on WIN 2K system before installing OWB Client on it??
Your inputs would be appreciated.
Regards
roopa

Roopa,
1. Yes, you can install OWB Client on one machine and OWB Server on the other. The first thing you see when you start "OWB Client" is the logon dialog. It has a sub-dialog "Connection Info" that contains Hostname, Port and Oracle Service Name. This is where you would supply the connection to your OWB Repository.
2. No, you don't need to install Database Client in order for OWB Client to work.

OWB Install Problem on NT Workstation

We are trying to install the new OWB on Dell Laptops running NT4 SP6a (256 meg RAM). After the Reports Runtime install, the Enterprise 8i install runs for about 15 mins and then just disappears with no errors. We haven't found any logs with any obvious errors noted, except one time we got an error updating the registry.(We're logged in as the NT admin.
The server install went fine, and a desktop workstation using only the 8i client (no local database) also went fine.
Has anybody else run into anything like this?
Thanks
Ron

This is a linux discussion thread.
But, I would like to see what the "bare essentials" (listener.ora; tnsnames.ora; and other filez NEEDED) for oracle8i/webDB to co-exist on my redHat 6.1 distro. My install goes fine. Its the post install steps that seem to be documented differently everywhere I search!

OWB Install

I am trying to do a first time install of OWB on Linux platform (back end Oracle 9.2.0.3) for evaluation purpose and here are my questions.
Can my Design & Runtime repository reside in the same database along with the target database - Basically I am trying to use different schemas in a same database?
After the install, per instructions I was looking for $ORACLE_HOME/owb/bin/unix directory and the directory itself was not there -- Did I miss something during install?
How do I install the Design client on my Windows desktop? Is there a seperate download for that?
I am trying to have a Windows based designer with repository and target databases on Linux-Oracle backend - Is this feasible?
Thanks
Alex

1. Can my Design & Runtime repository reside in the same database along with the target database - Basically I am trying to use different schemas in a same database?
Yes. You just use/deploy to different schemas.
2. After the install, per instructions I was looking for $ORACLE_HOME/owb/bin/unix directory and the directory itself was not there -- Did I miss something during install?
Need to check a linux install. will get back to you on this one.
3. How do I install the Design client on my Windows desktop? Is there a seperate download for that?
Yes. see http://otn.oracle.com/software/products/warehouse/index.html
4. I am trying to have a Windows based designer with repository and target databases on Linux-Oracle backend - Is this feasible?
Yes. Just install the designer on windows and point to the database on the linux machine to install the design-time and runtime repositories.
Thanks

OWB Instalation Problem

Hi,
I am trying to install OWB on a WindowsXP machine.
When i click on the setup cmd prompt pops up but go's no further.
The installation doesn' start.

There's another setup.exe in the directory /install. Maybe you also need to start access_setup.bat before you start that setup.exe.

How to install owb 10.2 on aix server

server machine:
     os: aix

     oracle db version:10.2.0.1
client machine:
compad notebook
os:windows xp
owb version:10.2.0.1
the oracle db is installed on the server machine
when ready to install owb on the server machine ,i have some question:
1.before install owb,i have set ORACLE_HOME variable to oracle db installed directory.
now how to set owb env variable, i should set ORACLE_HOME or OWB_ORACLE_HOME variable to owb will install directory?
export ORACLE_HOME=owb install directory or export OWB_ORACLE_HOME= owb install directory?
is it conflict with oracle db?
2.after installed owb,how to startup the control center service;according to the document,run the OWB_ORACLE_HOME/owb/rtp/sql/start_service.sql
script ,but when i do so,it run error;
sqlplus sys/sys@orcl as sysdba
SQL> @F:\oraHome_4\owb\rtp\sql\start_service.sql

the same to running the service_doctor.sql script
question:
a.how to solve it?
b.according to the start_service.sql script statement,should Logon as the Control Center Owner,then run start_service.sql
after installed owb,i have never created any user,what is the Control Center Owner?is it necessary to logon as the Control Center Owner?
c.when control center service to startup?and is it auto startup?
d.what is the control center service ,is it reside in oracle db?
e.when install owb,does the owb manipulate the oracle db,and write some script into oracle db?
3.create repository
first time to create the repository owner and user,is it necessary that creating those on server machine?
can i use the owb installed my local notebook machine to create the repository owner , user and target schema?

1. Install OWB in a new home
2. You must create a repository before you can start the Control Center Service
3. I'm not sure, but I think you can use your local OWB
Hope this helps

Error when deploying a mapping to Staging in OWB 11gr2

Hi,
I recieve the following error when I try to deploy a simple Source to Stage mapping:
RPE-01012: Cannot deploy PL/SQL maps to this target schema. The target schema must be in the same instance as the Control Center and have the OWB_USER role granted.
I have spent few hours researching it, but have not yet found a solution.
My environment:
DB 11gr2 on Red Hat Linux. (OWB Server is on linux and the same machine as its Repository and the 11gr2 db).
Source is on an Oracle 10.2 DB server in Texas;
Target (Staging env) is in California, also on Oracle 10.2.
I can validate the mapping and the Staging table was deployed sucessfully to the Staging DB.
Do I need to create a repository and workspace on the Target DB (Oracle 10.2) using Repository Assistant? (If that's the case, then would one also need to create OWBSYS?)
Please help.

This is an urgent request. Would appreciate it if someone could point out what I may be doing wrong.
To summarize, my target DB is on Oracle 10.2 in a remote location, so I ran the 3 scripts that OWB Install documents require: Section: Configuring OWB Installed as a Standalone Instance.
Cat_web.sql, reset_owbcc_home.sql, and remote_owb_install.sql.
But, when I run the Repository assistant, I get the error above (asking me to install compatible OWB version.)
Here are the detailed steps:
1. Ran clean_owbsys.sql
2. Ran cat_owb.sql (Against USERS Tablespace)
3. reset_owbcc_home.sql (?? Ora home for Target???)
4. Ran remote_owb_install.sql (??Ora Home for Target???) -- I have tried different combinations, but no difference.
For Repository Assistant, here are the detailed steps:
1. Provide connect info for the remote db (host:Port:Service)
2. Selected "Managed Warehouse Build Workspaces"
3. Selected "Create a new Warehouse Builder Workspace"
4. Select "Create a workspace with an existing user as workspace owner" (Since we have user already defined for this role. Should I create a new one??)
5. Entered Workspace Owner's User Name, Password and created WKS1 as the Workspace.
6. Entered System / and Password to logon
7. Provided Owbsys user id and Password and clicked on Next
8. As soon as I hit Next on the OWBSYS Information screen, I get the error:
"OWB software with the compatible version must be installed locally on the database server machine". If it is installed, acquire the DBA user credentials,
and run the remote_owb_install.sql script on the Oracle Database server machine..."
(I have tried with different paths for the reset_owbcc_home and remote_owb_install scripts)

How to solve problem After patch 10.2.0.4 applying on owb 10.2.0.1

HI OWB Gurus,
We have recently a patchapplied for oracle 10g .
prev version was oracle 10 g r2 10.2.0.1
new version is 10.2.0.4 ( patchset 4)
After patch applied at database and owb level there are some problem we are facing like
ETL process is very slow , cpu is going to 100% after start any mapping.
and audit browser are not opening.
Can any one help me on this so that we can resolve the problem.
- Umesh

Hi Umesh,
This might help you in diagnosing the client's performance
Accurate optimizer statistics are generally very important. They are gathered automatically at OWB install time and the Design Center -> Tools -> Optimize Repository menu selection is available to refresh them on an as needed basis.
The DBA can always help by pre-expanding tablespaces, making sure multiple tablespaces are available on separate disks or disk arrays so that I/O to indexes, metadata tables, snapshot tables, DB undo and redo logs, etc., can be evenly distributed.
With more complex metadata in this OWB release, you can expect many JDBC round-trips to the DB. Network latency can have a big impact on performance. To see how much time the owbclient uses for JDBC roundtrips to the DB, add the following line to Preference.properties in <owb home>/owb/bin/admin on your client machine:ClientProfile=true
Run OWB, then check ClientProfile.log in the admin directory. Keep in mind that a ping to localhost is probably about 0.025 ms, to another machine in the LAN about 0.25 ms. If the roundtrips are greater than 40 ms, then the issue is likely related network latency.
The two basic workarounds for network latency are:
-Remote control an OWB client machine that is physically close to the server.
-Do design-time work on a local repository, then MDL export the work for import to a central repository.
If the client and server are not on the same (high bandwidth) LAN, then total available bandwidth may become a factor. Same thing if the DB server is heavily loaded with respect to CPU or I/O, or if all your OWB design-time metadata is located on the same tablespace on the same hard drive. Distributing projects across multiple repositories which use their own
tablespaces spread across multiple hard drives would be very desirable.
The object editors are more functional and complex, as such, the required processing power to render them is greater (processor > 2GHz) Also note the OWB client software is mostly single-threaded, so it won't take advantage of multiple processors on one machine.
Long running sessions or large bulk operations (MDL import, validation, generation, deployment over large or multiple modules) can push up against the JVM memory limit. If performance begins to suffer due to memory, either:
a)exit and restart the OWB session;
b) if adequate physical memory exists, increase the -Xmx and -Dlimit values in the owbclient and OMBPlus startup scripts to better accommodate large operations.
ie.
If you have 2 GB or more, backup and edit owb\bin\win32\owbclient.bat file and modify line starting with %JAVAPATH
ie.
%JAVAPATH%\jre\bin\java -Xms128M -Xmx1024M -Dlimit=1024M -XX:MaxPermSize=1024M
This will add more memory to JVM for OWB client. Do the same for owb.cl file
Hope this will add some value.
Best Regards,
Prasad Bolla.

Best Practice: Update OWB 10.2.0.1 to 10.2.0.3 ?

Hey OWB-Guys,
I've searched the forum and metalink, but I could not find what I'm looking for. I want to update my OWB from version 10.2.0.1 to 10.2.0.3 (I'm working on WinXP Pro Sp2, so I can't use 10.2.0.4, right?).
Our system architecture will change soon, so I have to start the Control Center Service locally on my client computer in the future. I think there will be no OWB installed on DB server, if I understood our DBA correctly.
What will I have to do, to update OWB? Install patchset from Metalink on my client computer? What about the repository owner and repository user in the database?
Do you have a document / link with a guideline through the things to do?
Thanks in advance and have a nice weekend!
Steffen

Hey, nobody who upgraded from 10.2.0.1 to 10.2.0.3 ??? Please help me with some general hints or links describing that issue...
Thank you!
Steffen

OWB RAC question

Our source and target databases are RAC servers. Is it possible to have OWB installed as single node and still use RAC capabilities of source and target database ?
Basically we are hoping to install OWB as single node and define source/target locations using sql*net. Has anyone tried this ? Does it work ?
Let me know.
Thanks
Madhavi

Hi,
We also have a 6 node rac where we settes up owb.
We went through a whole lot of problems but got it running finally(with service failover).
Basically you will need the binaries on all 4 of your physical nodes.
For the first node you can run through the normal installation (repository setu).
Thab you need to start the repository assistant on all other nodes in ordr to register them.
There are a lot of pitfalls with that installation and a lack od docunentation.
We've written an onstallation guide for an OWB rac setup where with we have now setted up 9 OWB repositories spreaded over 2 racs.
Just let me know if you require detailed information - maybe we can share our guide.

Change OWB-user password after import

Hi there,
I set up a new empty 11.2 Warehousbuilder Repository instance, created a workspace and several DB-users (not in OWB) to prepare for MDL-Import.
Into that I run MDL-Import from 10.2 (it creats a MDL-file for 11.2), which was successfuly imported.
Immediatly after import I can not see any content as workspace-owner (may be logical since WS-Owner is not owner of any object imported ?)
and I can't connect as OWB-user as well.
So I tried to change imported OWB-user's password, but how to ?
OWB Install and Admin guide says in chapter 13.10.2, that I would not need to do anything special in OWB, just set password in DB as usual.
But I can't connect as those OWB-user !?
So how to change OWB-users password correctly ?
thanks for any hint.
LaoDe

seems my question wan't clear enough.
So here is an easy scenario step by step:
0. create a new empty Instance 11.2. Create several schema with only connect, resource grants to match later OWB-import's OWB-users.
1. create new, empty repository 11.2 + 1 workspace. OWB-Schema, who created WS = OWB_WS_OWNER
2. run Import from Export MDL-file. This includes several OWB-users.
3. After Import successful endet, no new objects, OWB-users or anything new is to see. (still beeing OWB_WS_OWNER). Even restart OWB does not show any new objects or OWB-users.
4. Can't connect to OWB with 1 of those imported Schema, to see any imported objects. Might be logical, because OWB-password for imported OWB-Schemas is unkown -> DB-Password does not help (what is logical).
5. As OWB_WS_OWNER or OWBSYS: how to change those imported OWB-user's password, when I don't see them as OWB-users ???
please help, thanks Laode

OWB repository assistant stucks 72 percent finished

Hello could anybody give suggestions what is the problem when I try to install my OWB repository and the installation always halts when theres 72 percent finished. I have Oracle 9.2.0.1.0 database and the OWB version is 9.2.0.2.8, operating system is Windows XP with sp1.
Thank you

Please look in the file [OWB Home]\owb\reposasst\log.txt.0. Let us know if any errors or exceptions are present there, from your latest attempt. More tips on troubleshooting the installation are in here in the appendix of the OWB Install Guide http://download.oracle.com/docs/html/B11000_02/apddiagn.htm#1005923

OWB deploy system error

Hello,
I'm having issues deploying large mappings:
"ORA-04030: out of process memory when trying to allocate 4000 bytes (PLS non-lib hp,pdzdM80_Allocate_Block)"
I'm getting the same error when deploying via either XP Client or OMB*Plus on the server. This started to happen a couple of days ago on a brand new system. On the old system it is still a OK. I CAN get source code for the mapping (package) in question off of the old system and compile it on a new system using SQL*PLUS?!
What could be wrong with OWB install/ setup? Some notes on Metalink suggest that it is purely DB/ HOST issue, but then how come via SQL*PLUS deploy works?
Thanks in advance,
Alex.

Mark
Thank you for your response, I have figure out and I now successfully deploy, I deployed through Deployment Management. But when I go to database as a target and the table is create there but empty, (no data)
I have 2 questions:
1. When I deploy the mapping itself sucessfully, do I need to Execute the mapping ? I tried to right click / Execute then it saying something like this :
Starting Execution COLLEGE_YR_CODES_MAP
Starting Task COLLEGE_YR_CODES_MAP
RPE-1013-SQL_LOADER_ERROR SQL Loader reported error condition, number 3.
Completing Task COLLEGE_YR_CODES_MAP
Completing Execution COLLEGE_YR_CODES_MAP
(college_yr_codes_map is the mapping name, i map a flat file to a relational table)
2. I have to map multi flat files as source file to target as oracle table, do I need to create multi connector for each flat files.
Thank you very much for all the help I can get here.

Executing OWB generated code outside OWB deployment manager

We are thinking to develop data loading programs using OWB but ship the generated code directly to user. We're looking at possibility to let end-user to invoke generated mappings w/o installing OWB. Because we plan not to offer customization to our users in our first release, there is no point to make OWB a mandatory pre-requisite.
Other than running mappings from OWB deployment manager and OEM, could user execute mapping code from something like SQL plus and eBizSuite's concurrent program? My guess is yes.
Then what is the minimum installation requirement for end-user to perform. Does user have to install run-time repository and target schema from OWB installation CD?
Thanks a lot!

Jerry,
There are several alternatives for running OWB mappings in addition to Deployment Manager:
1. From SQL Plus. Requires no part of OWB install to work, it just connects remotely to Runtime repository. See template in [OWB install Home]/owb/rtp/sql/sqlplus_exec_template.sql
2. From OEM. Same: requires no part of OWB install, connects remotely to Runtime repository. See template in [OWB install Home]/owb/rtp/sql/oem_exec_template.sql. Also see "Oracle9i Warehouse Builder User's Guide
Release 9.2", page 13-19, "Scheduling Mappings and Process Flows".
3. From Oracle Workflow. OWB Deployment Manager deploys into Workflow in this case.
4. From any XPDL complaint process flow engine.

OWB Installation

Hi everybody,
I need some help trying to figure out OWB (10gr2), installation process, my developement environment is as follows:
Single Development Server:Sun SPARC, Solaris 10:
- DB Instance A: DB 10gr2, intended purpouse, OWB design repository and control center service.
- DB Instance B: DB 9i: intended purpouse, target schema so it requires OWB runtime repository.
1. As long as I understand I must install OWB software in Instance A, create an OWB design repository through repository assistant and configure(?) control center service.
Q1: how do I create ONLY the design repository? what specific options should I select in the repository assistant? I've read the OWB install and user guides but I can make no sense.
Q2: how to configure control center service, in order to deploy to target schema in instance B?
2. I must create a runtime repository in instance B.
Q3: how do I create ONLY the runtime repository? again, what options should I select? do I need to install OWB sw in instance B?
Any help would be appreciated.
German

Hi,
You're in a very interesting situation.
Here is just my idea.
I think your implement strategy will be somthing like "Separate Design and Runtime Environments Implementation". You can see very detail information about this in the Installation Guide.
But something special for you is that you have to set up the target location property to 9i so that the generated PL/SQL will be 9i scripts.
As to your Questions,
Q1: when you follow the Advance Setup, you'll see how to do.
Q2: You'll do that by register the target location.
Q3: The software can be installed on the client machine (instead of inside the Instance). In the instance, you just created the repository (OWB metadata repository or Runtime repository).
I've been using OWB for some years by using R10.1 and just start to get into R10.2. So my answers are just a reference to you.
Regards,

Warehouse Builder Install

I am new to Warehouse Builder and relatively new to Oracle, but not to database/software. I am involved in a study trying to determine if OWB 10g might be useful in my current project. However, I am not having any luck in installing OWB.
I believe I am following the install direction correctly, but I find that I keep running into problems. The documentation says that only the 10g database needs to be installed, but I keep finding that other elements need to be installed in order for the OWB install to continue (e.g HTTP server, portal).
Can anyone provide (or point me to) clear step-by-step instruction on installing OWB 10g on a clean system (or on a system with ONLY the Oracle Database 10g installed).
Thank you

Good morning Chuck,
I've performed a clean install of OWB10g on a basic 10g install on my laptop (no HTTP server etc) but no problems there.
Have you checked the Installation and Configuration Guide for basic requirements? Especially Chapter 1 and Appendix A.
Available at http://www.oracle.com/technology/documentation/warehouse.html
Cheers, Patrick
