OWB mapping name function?

Hi,
I am currently using a pre-mapping and post-mapping operators to kick off stored procedures to insert/update a record in my 'execution status' table. The inserted record in 'execution status' table has details like mapping name, process flow name, target table name etc.
I am presently hardcoding the parameters - mapping name, process flow name and targettable name in a constant operator to pass these as input parameters to the stored procedures used in pre & post mapping.
My query is - is there anyway I can avoid hard coding the values? that is , in owb do we have a function which tells us the name of the mapping, target table and process flow which is executing a mapping ? If so I can use the function to pass the mapping name, process flow name and target name to feed my stored procs that way I do not have to change my mapping name, table name in each different mapping.
Thanks & Regards

Hi,
If you wish to get mapping names in the current mapping (OWB 10g), then you can use dynamic parameter get_runtime_audit_id and owb system views owbrt_sys.ALL_RT_AUDIT_MAP_RUNS, wbrt_sys.ALL_RT_AUDIT_STEP_RUNS
(for example select ... from owbrt_sys.ALL_RT_AUDIT_STEP_RUNS WHERE MAP_RUN_ID = get_runtime_audit_id) or use dynamic parameter get_model_name
read this: http://blogs.oracle.com/warehousebuilder/newsItems/viewFullItem$184
If you wish to get mapping names in the process flow then read this thread:
How to know which map is failed in a process flow if we have more than 2

  • Execute main function created by OWB mapping

    Hi,
    If any one has sample code to run the main function created by OWB mapping?
    I try to execute the mapping from sqlplus. But I don't know how to compose the WB_RT_MAPAUDIT.WB_RT_NAME_VALUES input parameter.
    Thanks for your help.

    Please refer to the sql_exec_template.sql file which can be found under the <owb_install>\owb\rtp\sql directory.

  • OWB bugs, missing functionality and the future of OWB

    I'm working with OWB for some time now and there are a lot of rough edges to discover. Functionality and stability leave a lot to be desired. Here's a small and incomplete list of things that annoy me:
    Some annoying OWB bugs (OWB 10g 10.1.0.2.0):
    - The debugger doesn't display the output parameters of procedures called in pre-mapping processes (displays nothing, treats values as NULL). The mapping itself works fine though.
    - When calling selfmade functions within an expression OWB precedes the function call with a constant "Functions." which prevents the function from being executed and results in an error message
    - Occasionally OWB cannot open mappings and displays an error message (null pointer exception). In this case the mapping cannot be opened anymore.
    - Occasionally when executing mappings OWB doesn't remember changes in mappings even when the changes were committed and deployed
    - When using aggregators in mappings OWB scrambles the order of the output attributes
    - The deployment of mappings sometimes doesn't work. After n retries it works without having changed anything in the mapping
    - When recreating an external table directly after dropping the table OWB recreates the external table but always displays both an error message and a success message.
    - In Key Lookups the screen always gets garbled when selecting an attribute as a join condition
    - Usage of constants results in aborts in the debugger
    - When you reconcile a table used in a key lookup the lookup condition sometimes changes. OWB seems to remember only the position of the lookup condition attribute but not the name.
    - In the process of validating a mapping often changes in the mapping get lost and errors occur like 'Internal Errors' or 'Null Pointer Exceptions'.
    - When you save the definition of external tables OWB always adds 2 whitespace columns to the beginning of all the lines following 'ORGANISATION EXTERNAL'. If you save a lot of external table definitions you get files with hundreds of leading whitespaces.
    Poor or missing functionality:
    - No logging on the level of single records possible. I'd like the possibility to see the status of each single record in each operator like using 'verbose data' in PowerCenter
    - The order of the attributes cannot be changed. This really pisses me off expecially if operators like the aggregator scramble the order of attributes.
    - No variables in expressions possible
    - Almost unusable lookup functionality (no cascading lookups, no lookup overrides, no unconnected lookups, only equal condition in key lookups)
    - No SQL overrides in soruces possible
    - No mapplets, shared containers or any kind a reusable transformations
    - No overview functionality for mappings. Often it's very hard to find a leftover operator in a big mapping.
    - No copy function for attributes
    - Printing functionality is completely useless
    - No documentation functionality for mappings (reports)
    - Debugger itself needs debugging
    - It's very difficult to mark connections between attributes of different operations. It's almost impossible to mark a group of connections without marking connections you don't want to mark.
    I really wonder which of the above bugs and mssing functionality 'Paris' will address. From what I read about 'Paris' not many if at all. If Oracle really wants to be a competitor (with regard to functionality) to Informatica, IBM/Ascential etc. they have a whole lot of work to do or purchase Informatica or another of the leading etl tool
    vendors.
    What do you think about OWB? Will it be a competitor for the leading etl tools or just a cheap database add on and become widely used like SAB BW not for reasons of technology or functionality but because it's cheap?
    Looking forward to your opinions.
    Jörg Menker

    Thanks to you two for entertaining my thoughts so far. Let me respond to you latest comments.
    Okay, lets not argue which one is better.. when a tool is there .. then there are some reasons to be there...But the points raised by Jorg and me are really very annoying. Overall I agree with both yours and Jorg's points (and I did not think it was an argument...merely sharing our observations with each other (;^)
    The OWB tool is not as mature as Informatica. However, Informatica has no foothold in the database engine itself and as I mentioned earlier, is still "on the outside looking in..." The efficiency and power of set-based activity versus row-based activity is substantial.
    Looking at it from another way lets take a look at Microstrategy as a way of observing a technical strategy for product development. Microstrategy focused on the internals (the engine) and developed it into the "heavy-lifting" tool in the industry. It did this primarily by leveraging the power of the backend...the database and the hosting server. For sheer brute force, it was champion of the day. It was less concerned with the pretty presentation and more concerned with getting the data out of the back-end so the user didn't have to sit there for a day and wait. Now they have begun to focus on the presentation part.
    Likewise this seems to be the strategy that Oracle has used for OWB. It is designed around the database engine and leverages the power of the database to do its work. Informatica (probably because it needs to be all things to all people) has tended to view the technical offerings of the database engine as a secondary consideration in its architectural approach and has probably been forced to do so more now that Oracle has put themselves in direct competition with Informatica. To do otherwise would make their product too complex to maintain and more vendor-specific.
    I am into the third data warehousing/data migration project and my previous two have been on Informatica (3 years on it).I respect your experience and your opinions...you are not a first timer. The tasks we have both had to solve and how we solved them with these tools are not necessarily the same. Could be similar in instances; could be quite different.
    So the general tendency is to evaluate the tool and try to see how things that were needed to be done in my previous projects can be done with this tool. I am afraid to say .. I am still not sure how these can be implemented in OWB. The points raised by us are probably the fall out of this deficiency.One observation that I would make is that in my experience, calls to the procedural language in the database engine have tended to perform very poorly with Informatica. Informatica's scripting language is week. Therefore, if you do not have direct usability of a good, strong procedural language to tackle some complicated tasks, then you will be in a pickle when the solution is not well suited to a relational-based approach. Informatica wants you to do most things outside of the database (in the map primarily). It is how you implement the transformation logic. OWB is built entirely around the relational, procedural, and ETL components in the Oracle database engine. That is what the tool is all about.
    If cost is the major factor for deciding a tool then OWB stands far ahead...Depends entirely on the client and the situation. I have implemented solutions for large companies and small companies. I don't use a table saw to cut cake and I don't use a pin knife to fall trees. Right tool for the right job.
    ...thats what most managers do .. without even looking how in turn by selecting such a tool they make the life tough for the developers.Been there many times. Few non-technical managers understand the process of tool evaluation and selection and the value a good process adds to the project. Nor do they understand the implications of making a bad choice (cost, productivity, maintainability).
    The functionality of OWB stands way below Informatica.If you are primarily a GUI-based implementer that is true. However, I have often found that when I have been brought in to fix performance problems with Informatica implementations that the primary problem is usually with the way that the developer implemented it. Too often I have found that the developer understands how to implement logic in the GUI component (the Designer/Maps and Sessions) with a complete lack of understanding of how all this activity will impact load performance (they don't understand how the database engine works.) For example, a strong feature in Informatica is the ability to override the default SQL statement generated by Informatica. This was a smart design decision on Informatica's part. I have frequently had to go into the "code" and fix bad joins, split up complex operations, and rip out convoluted logic to get the maps to perform within a reasonable load window. Too often these developers are only viewing the problem through the "window" of the tool. They are not stepping back and look at the problem in the context of the overall architecture. In part Informatica forces them to do this. Another possible factor is they probably don't know better.
    "One tool...one solution"
    Microstrategy until recently had been suffering from that same condition of not allowing the developer to create the actual query). OWB engineers need to rethink their strategy on overriding the SQL.
    The functionality of OWB stands way below Informatica.In some ways yes. If you do a head-to-head comparison of the GUI then yes. In other ways OWB is better (Informatica does not measure up when you compare it with all of the architectural features that the Oracle database engine offers). They need to fix the bugs and annoyances though.
    .. but even the GUI of Informatica is better than OWB and gives the developer some satisfaction of working in it.Believe me I feel your pain. On the other hand, I have suffered from Informatica bugs. Ever do a port from one database eingine to another just to have it convert everything into multi-byte? Ever have it re-define your maps to parallel processing threads when you didn't ask it to?
    Looking at the technical side of things I can give you one fine example ... there is no function in Oracle doing to_integer (to_number is there) but Informatica does that ... Hmm-m-m...sorry, I don't get the point.
    The style of ETL approach of Informatica is far more appealing.I find it unnecessarily over-engineered.
    OWB has two advantages : It is basically free of cost and it has a big brother in Oracle.
    It is basically free of cost...When you are another "Microsoft", you can throw your weight around. The message for Informatica is "don't bite the hand that feeds you." Bad decisions at the top.

  • Problem in OWB map for source change capture

    The problem is as follows:-
    Our OWB map between two different databases, captures change in data at source and populates them in target. It is a one to one map. The map is failing to process some rows from source database though it gives no:of errors as 0 in the audit view thus we infer that the map is running successfully.
    In our case, we have a composite key ( Instance_id, Version_number) at source as well as target. One instance_id can has more than one version number. We have observed that the view is picking up all the version_number for a particular instance_id but the map is unable to populate the last version_number to the target table.
    But when this map was executed in another environment and it is successfully populating all the data in the target.
    The brief description of the map is as follows:-
    The map has a view which captures all the changes in data (insert and update) .From this view we filter the rows which were already processed in previous map run (with help of watermark). Then we sort the rows based on DML type and watermark . These rows are then mapped to a target table. The loading type of the map is INSERT/UPDATE.

  • How to Execute a OWB Mapping or a Process from SQLPLUS editor?

    I need to know how can we execute a OWB mapping from SQLPLUS editor or from a Stored Procedure.

    Hi,
    You can use the MDL export/import utility for this, but as you are importing into the same repository you will end up with importing into the same project again.
    So for this you can follow the workaround as:
    ->Take export of the required mapping from the project OWB_B
    -> Rename the Project OWB_B to some thing like OWB_B_1(or any other name), note that you have to rename both logical and physical name of the project
    -> Rename the project OWB_A to OWB_B and if you import the MDL all the objects will be imported to OWB_B then you can rename back the project to OWB_A
    -> Finally rename the project OWB_B_1 to OWB_B (to its original name).

  • Can not run OWB Mapping automatically by OEM? .  Very urgent. Pls help me

    Hi all,
    Pls help me.
    I am using OWB 10g under Oracle 10g. I want to run OWB Mapping automatically by OEM.
    I installed Oracle Database 10g fully but don't have OEM in this. After that, I installed Oracle Client 10g. In this product, there is OEM 10g. I read some topic as "want to run owb mappings thru job schedule" and also read http://otn.oracle.com/products/warehouse/htdocs/oem_scheduling_viewlet_swf.html
    But my OEM not as same as in this . It don't have job menu and OEM Console Login window and don't have also where I can put username/pwd to login into OMS???
    I don't know this problem.
    Pls help me.

    Hi,
    Here are two possible solutions:
    1) If you have OEM 9i anywhere in your environment you can use this for scheduling the OWB jobs.
    2) If your environment is 10g only you need to install 10g Grid Controll. This product has replaced the OMS / Java console of earlier releases, and contains the same functionality for scheduling jobs.
    Note that if you are using the sql_exec_template to execute your mappings you can schedule and run these from any machine on the network, not just the target server.
    Hope this helps,

  • How to use OMB to change filter conditions in OWB maps

    Hi,
    I want to know how we can use OMB to change filter conditions in an OWB map.
    As per my scenario i have a filter operator FLTR_1 in my maps and i have to change its filter condition from
    INOUTGRP1.ID IN (1,2)
    AND
    INOUTGRP1.VALUE > CONST_0_MAX_VAL
    to
    INOUTGRP1.ID IN (1,2)
    AND
    INOUTGRP1.VALUE > CONST_6_MAX_VAL
    Just for everybody's information we are migrating from OWB 9.2 to OWB 10.2 and we have called procedures in constants and used their values in filter conditions.OWB 10.2 generates the values for constants in a different way than OWB 9.2 thats why this change is required.I wish to automate the act of changing constant names so we can save time in changing the maps.
    Thx

  • Configuration parameters in OWB mapping

    Hi ,
    I have a requrement where in I need to find out some details of an OWB mapping through a SQL script.
    For a mapping when we "configure" the Table operators like entering the Schema name. Which table in OWBRT_SYS holds these details basically I need to query the OWBRT_SYS.TABLE_XXXXX to find out for a given mapping weather the Schema name has been entered or not.
    Please suggest.
    Thanks,
    Jay

    Re your first question, you are probably hitting a bug (3035080) that makes OWB generate false warnings. Please ignore the warnings and try to deploy and run the process flow.
    As for your second question - I cannot reproduce this on 9.2.0.2.8. The configuration properties are updated corectly in the SQLLOADER map and I get the same values in the process flow. By the way, why are you not using external tables instead of the SQLLoader maps?

  • OMB02904: Namespace conflict for map name

    Hello all,
    I was running an OMB script which was to create the several Mappings, and after the creation of all the mappings it was supposed to commit. This script was being run in UNIX env, but unfortunately the UNIX session got killed and script terminated, persumably before commit, because I do not see any of the mappings in OWB.
    So I started the script again but got this message,
    OMB02904: Namespace conflict for map name MAP_1: PRS-00303: Name <MAP_1> Already reserved under your user name. with
    oracle session ID: 31
    I cleaned up the oracle sessions in Design Rep, but still getting the same error message both at command line and in GUI.
    Has anyone else in the forum experienced similar problem. Any suggestions or pointer on How to fix thi will be appreciated.
    TIA

    It seems that the mapping got created. Have you tried to refresh the OWB client to see the mapping by clicking on the "Synchronize this view with the repository" button (second icon from the left just under the "Project" menu entry)? If this is true, you will either have to delete the existing mapping and commit, or rename your mapping.

  • Executing an OWB mapping from sqlplus

    Hi
    I am trying to run an OWB mapping using the OWB provided script sqlplus_exec_template.sql. Here is the syntax I use:
    @Script\sql\sqlplus_exec_template.sql OWB_RUN_OWNER CODE_LOC PLSQL MAPPING_TI "," ","
    I am able to successfully execute my task when I use the above script. However, when the account pertaining to 'CODE_LOC' is locked, the script fails and gives me an error message that the account is locked.
    Our security standards expect the CODE_LOC account to be locked. Is there a way around it ? When the mapping is executed, does the Runtime repository owner lookup the task from the Code location or attempts to connect to the account ?
    Can someone advise me on whether I can successfully execute a mapping that is deployed to a locked account ?
    Thanks

    Hi
    The only way I can think of is when the account X is locked, to have granted execute on the packages for the map to schema Y which is unlocked and execute the package MAIN procedure/function from schema Y.
    Cheers

  • Lineage Report: no mapping name !

    The lineage/impact report for tables does not show the mapping name.(OWB 92)

  • I recently upgraded from Firefox ESR version 10 to version 17.0.7, and the Serch by Name function no longer works.

    I was using Firefox ESR 10.0.11 and was forced to upgrade to 17.0.7 yesterday, even though my cfg file is set to not allow updates. Since the upgrade, the Search by Name function has stopped working, i.e.: I used to be able to type "yahoo" into the address bar and go straight to yahoo; now, when I type anything that is not a complete URL into the address bar, it goes to allied.com. I have already gone into about:config and changed keyword:URL to http://www.google.com/search?ie=UTF-8&oe=UTF-8&sourceid=navclient&gfns=1&q= and have also installed the Search By Name add-on. Neither of these work. Please help me.

    Thank you for your reply. However, had you read my issue in full, you'd have noticed that I have ALREADY downloaded and installed the "Browse By Name" add-on, and it DID NOT work.

  • Case statement in OWB mapping

    I am trying to use a case statement in an OWB mapping. I am attempting to use it in expression builder within a filter object. Each time I try to validate the expression in the expression builder I get an error:
    Line 4, Col 6:
    PL/SQL: ORA-00920: invalid relational operator
    Below is the code used in the expression builder window:
    CASE A.ATTRIBUTE_NAME
    WHEN 'CA COMPLETION DATE' THEN RTRIM(A.C_CODE_VALUE)
    ELSE NULL
    END
    Any help with what is happening would be appreciated.
    Thank you.
    Matt

    Thank you both for you help. I initially tried to use the expression operator but was confused since the expression builder in the expression operator has the drop down list with the available SQL clauses greyed out. In the OWB documentation it states that the drop down will contain SQL clauses that are appropriate for that expression type so when I saw it was greyed out I assumed that those clauses where not valid for this operator. Sure enough though when I pasted in my Case statement it verified correctly.
    Thanks again,
    Matt
