OWB remote runtime

Hello,
I have a question with different owb installation scenario. in the doc http://download.oracle.com/docs/cd/B31080_01/doc/install.102/b28224/install_rep02.htm
"Figure 2-5 Control Center Service Installed on a Local Server"
there are two repositories one on the local server and the other on the remote server .
what is the different between the two repositories ? and where the target user is registered ?
why to use this implementation type ?
Thanks
Mohamed

Hi Mohamed,
the repository on the local server is used as the design repository. This is where you develop the mappings.
The mappings are deployed to the remote server. You need a repository installed there to act as the runtime environment for the mappings. The target user has be be registered at the repository on the remote server. The mappings are only executed on the remote server.
To be able to deploy from the local server to the remote server, you have to create a new control center in the local repository that connects to the repository on the on the remote server.
Often, you have not only one remote server, but at least two: one for testing and the other for production. On the local server you only develop the mappings. So make sure you have a backup of the local server, since that is where all your work is done.
Good luck,
Carsten.

Running the mappings which were deployed using remote runtime.

Hi EveryBody,
I am using OWB 10GR2. My environment is like this.
I have two oracle databases A and B. I have installed OWB Repository in both databases. Now i have created a mapping map1 in Repository A and deployed it to Respository B(remote run time). I was able to run this mapping from repository A.
But i wanted to run the mapping map1 from repository B. when i connected to repository B and checked it in control center manager. I couldn't find out the mapping.
Can anybody suggest how to achieve this.
MY task should be like this.
1) create mapping map1 in rep A.
2) deploy this mapping map1 to rep B.
3) connect to rep B.
4) Run the mappping map1.
thanks,

OWB packages runtime dumps

Hi everyone,
I would like to know how to prevent OWB package from writing dumps to $ORACLE_HOME/admin/.../udump directory.
When I run a package from OEM it sometimes writes quite a large dump file like <DBname>ora99999.trc
We have problem with space so that I'd like to stop it.
Is it a problem of OWB(2I) or oracle database (8.1.7)?
Thanks for help

Hi David,
We are close to releasing the windows version. Then the porting team will start on the ports. A rough estimate would be that this will take some 4 - 8 weeks (I'm being conservative here).
What you may be able to do to overcome this wait is to develop on Win2k and then export/import the runtime schemas onto the AIX box. That will allow all PL/SQL stuff to work. You can then later add the software.
Note I would only do this in development, not in production unless you really, really have to...

Remote runtime

hi
I am confused on how to create remote target schema. I have machine A with database db1 & OWB Client installed, db1 has repository installed
i have machine b with databae db2 & owb client installed.
Now i want to create a target schema in db2, i tried to follow the steps in the doc. but it is not clear.
I would like to know what is the exact steps to install target schema, do i need to install a repository in db2 ?
Thanks

If you want target schema in db2 then you need to install reposirtoy under Db2.
1.You can use repositoy assistance to install repostoty into db2.
it can be accessed from any client system where OWB is installed.
2. while creating repository it will ask you Db name and all details.

Problem setting up separate runtime environment on OWB 11g

We're trying to set up an environment similar to this: [Split Repositories Implementation|http://download.oracle.com/docs/cd/B28359_01/owb.111/b31280/reqs01.htm#BGBIHAHE]
The server OS is Windows Server 2003 x64 ed, database version is 11.1.0.7
The database/warehouse server was installed with a single database where the default design repository is installed. There is a "control center service" running on the default instance.
We're running OWB clients on separate XP workstations and are able to access the minimal default design repository.
We've set up another database on the same server, this one is to be used for the runtime environment, as described in the references Oracle diagram referenced above.
However we're not able to find much useful documentation on how to set up the second database with the runtime environment and control center service.
Whenever we try to dig deeper into the Oracle documentation, we always end up with hints on how to set up a "remote runtime" on a server without database. This is not what we want to achieve.
A simple step-by-step guide on how to set up a runtime control center repository with audit tables & packages in a database separate from the design repository database is very difficult to find.
Is there anyone who've succeded in doing this that could give us any information on how to implement it?
Regards,
-Haakon-

Thanks again Oleg.
I've now managed to configure up a separate runtime target environment in addition to our design environment.
For others who might struggle with this; here's what I did:
- log on to the Windows server console
- open a command window
- set ORACLE_SID to the newly created runtime target database
- set ORACLE_HOME
to same home as previous OWB default home installation (initial design database)
- run >sqlplus "/as sysdba"
- run %OWB_HOME%/owb/UnifiedRepos/clean_owbsys.sql
to remove all previous OWBSYS setup
- edit %OWB_HOME%/owb/UnifiedRepos/cat_owb.sql
and comment out the 'LOCK USER OWBSYS' statement at the end, then run the script
- run %OWB_HOME%/owb/UnifiedRepos/reset_owbcc_home.sql : this will prompt for "the full path of the Oracle home for the OWB Control Center install:"
. Enter your '<drive>:\Oracle\product\11.1.0\db_1\owb'
- after running reset_owbcc_home.sql one needs to set a known password on the OWBSYS user:
ALTER USER owbsys IDENTIFIED BY password
- finally run the Repository Assistant locally on your server and set up a new repository workspace in the new database. This time (after running the above sql-scripts, the Assistant did not crash halfway through).
We're now able to create a new Control Center from the OWB client installation and deploy tables & mappings and execute mappings on the runtime target system.

How to create a runtime repos in 10gR2

Can anyone guide me through creating a runtime repository, access user and target schema(s)?
We have a DESIGN REPOS, but would also like a repos on the target database for deploying to.
I believe that there is no longer a RUNTIME ASSISTANT from release 2 onwards.

Quotation from OWB installation and administration guide ("server component" marked with bold by me):
"The Control Center Service is the Warehouse Builder server component that governs the deployment of objects to target schemas. Most commonly, as shown in Figure 1-2, the Control Center Service can be installed on the machines hosting the target schemas."
It seems that writers forget about running of objects (control center is needed for running mappings and process flows). So I highly recommend you to install OWB software on server. BUT you don't need install OWB on ALL your servers, because OWB support remote runtime environment (but I have never used it):

OWB repository

Hi all,
I'm doing a fresh installation of OWB. I have 2 servers and I want to install the OWB in one server and OWB Repository in the other.
There is any way to do this? I'm using 11g R2.
Thanks!

Yes, it is possible. See [Implementing a Remote Runtime|http://download.oracle.com/docs/cd/B28359_01/owb.111/b31280/install_rep02.htm#BABJDHCJ] in OWB Installation Guide (it seems that your case is "Control Center Service Installed on a Dedicated Computer")
But drawback of this architecture - you need to start Control Center service manualy from dedicated computer (from server with OWB software)

Not able to start control center service of OWB 10.2

Hi i have implemented the remote runtime service architecture in OWB 10.2. This means the OWB s/w is not installed in the box where Oracle data base is.When I'm trying to start the service form the client machine (where OWB is installed) using the Start Control Center service option the service is not starting up.Is there any work around to start the control center service.
Thx

Hi!
Try to start the service using @<OWB-HOME>/owb/rtp/sql/start_service.sql
You need to log with the Control Center owner.
Check out if you get any errors. If yes, try also @<OWB-HOME>/owb/rtp/sql/service_doctor.sql for more information.

Sebastian

About Runtimes

Hi, an Odd thing I am working through.
I have a runtime from my development database that points to my test target database. I normally deploy from the development repository to the test runtime.
I started testing the release, exported the mappings to mdl and imported them into the testing design repository which also has a runtime connex pointing to the testing database. Now when I deployed after importing, it detected the existing objects as expected (updates the runtime this may be the issue), and I generated them and deployed them again successfully. BUT I can not run them, as I get the task not found error.
I can see no reason whey the obects are not being found by the runtime, any ideas?
Regards,
Richard.

Richard,
Let verify my understanding of you configuration first:
1. You have two design repositories: development and runtime.
2. You have one runtime repository and one target schema? I am not clear on this one.
OWB's runtime architecture allows to have one runtime repository to be associated with multiple target schemas. The only current restriction is that runtime repository and target schema(s) have to reside in the same database. Remote (to runtime) target schemas are not currently supported.
There is a detailed white paper on OWB's runtime architecture, with diagrams that greatly help in understanding the concept http://otn.oracle.com/products/warehouse/pdf/OWB_RuntimeChanges.pdf, start at page 10.

Runtime Service not Available after Copy

Hi
OWB 10g,
Oracle DB 8.1.7.4.12
I'm trying to copy the whole database, including all OWB and Runtime Repository and reload to another server.
After that, OWB client works fine but when I try to connect Deployment Manager, the error massage shows: Runtime Service not Availabe. ( the Runtime connection properties are changed to match the new server). I then tried to manually start the runtime service, the error massage shows: Not available. And I then run Service_Doctor, it shows "Platform Service Not Available".
For what I searched from metalink and here, the solution is always saying 'Reinstall the Runtime Service'.
Is there any idea that I can make it work without reinstall because I don't want to start from scratch to redeploy and reload all of my data?
I'm waiting on line.
Thank you,
Daming

Hi Igor,
I manually change table wb_rt_servuce_nodes with the proper hostname, service name, OWB home name. Also check the value in OWBRT_SYS.OWBRTPS, no problem. But Runtime service still not started. So I give up and then try to do it from scratch.
I tried to reinstall all the repositories (OWB and runtime ) on the new server and still got the same problem.
What I've done is drop all the repositories via Runtime Assistant and then done 'drop user rtr cascade' from sqlplus for all the target schemas and rtr/rtu. Then create new reopositories again. After that I restart the database , runtime service not started. Then I tried manually start it, failed.
Anyidea? Should I reinstall the software?
Thanks,
Daming

OWB Client/Server Configuration

Dear Gurus,
The scenario is like this.
Server OS : Sun Solaris.
Server Database : Oracle 9i for unix.
Client OS : Win 2K
Client Database : Oracle 9i client for Windows.
If OWB 9i is installed on Win2K machines, all mappings can be executed. ETL process will run smooth.
ETL Loads are monthly.
Will the performance be greatly affected if Database and OWB server aren't installed on the same physical machine?
Is my information listed correct ?
Your inputs would be appreciated.
Regards
Milind

Milind,
You first question was "Will the performance be greatly affected if Database and OWB Server aren't installed on the same physical machine?" If you are referring to the database where OWB's runtime schema resides, then yes, OWB Server Side should be installed on the same physical server where that database is.
Second question - Availability of Oracle Datebase Server 9.2.0.4 on Sun Solaris. The full Oracle9i Database Release 2 is 9.2.0.1.
9.2.0.2, 9.2.0.3 and 9.2.0.4 are patches on top of 9.2.0.1, with each subsequent patchset including all the previous ones. Pathes and patchsets are downloadable from metalink.oracle.com. So:
* to get 9.2.0.2 - install 9.2.0.1, apply 9.2.0.2 patchset (patch ID 2632931).
* to get 9.2.0.3 - install 9.2.0.1, apply 9.2.0.3 patchset (patch ID 2761332).
* to get 9.2.0.4 - install 9.2.0.1, apply 9.2.0.4 patchset (patch ID 3095277).

Join runtime audit error notification with source row

We're using OWB 10g R1 to load our Datawarehouse.
First we simply load all flat files into Staging Area (all columns of Datatype VARCHAR2). Afterwards we distribute Data into the Operational Data Store (ODS). Here is a lot of cleaning and transformation work done. That's the step where errors occur. OWB collects runtime and error information into the runtime repository.
My question is:
What's the best way to identify (link) which error belongs to which row in Staging-Area table?
I'd like to have/build an SQL-Statement (View) which selects the erroneus row from Staging Table together with the error message from runtime repository.
Any ideas/solutions are welcome.
Regards,
iOn.

Hi,
you should first identify the mapping in wb_rt_audit, get the details from wb_rt_details and the rows from wb_rt_errors.

Runtime access user...??

hi ..
I am quite new to OWB... right now using 10g r2..
..Is it possible to for a single runtime access user to operate on multiple target schema...???
or is it possible for two target schema to have same user....??
if yes ...let me know the process....
regards,
DichanZ

Hi DichanZ,
OWB uses runtime access user to connect to the runtime repository. It is independant of the number of target schemas.

Mapping hangs when controlcentre service is down (wb_rt_notify_queue)

Hi,
Running OWB standalone (OWB 10gR2, db 10.2.0.4, IBM AIX), i.e. the db has a control center repository for the runtime, no running control center service (a.k.a. runtime platform service).
Executing mappings using a call to wb_rt_api_exec.run_task().
This used to work fine until last Friday.
However when I execute any mapping today, the mapping runs endlessly, the status in in the WB Browser in the local repository is 'Busy' and in v$session_wait I find one wait event, "Streams AQ: waiting for messages in the queue" and the P1 value of this wait event points via dba_objects to the OWB internal AQ wb_rt_notify_queue.
Also ran a 10046 sql trace on the call to run_task() and that never starts on any business related SQL, the trace file just keeps repeating the wait event.
The AQ Queue table wb_rt_notify_queue_tab holds some 3000 entries, the newest is from last Friday, so nothing from my last run_task() attempts.
I checked the docs and forums, and it is confirmed that running a remote deployment target without a local CCS/RTP is valid (and was working.)
Metalink, OTN forums and Google are quite silent on this issue.
What is going on and how to fix it?
Thanks for your help,
Erik
Edited by: ErikYkema on Oct 13, 2009 10:25 PM - Changed title, was "Streams AQ: Waiting for messages in the queue" on wb_rt_notify_queue

Thanks a lot Oleg,
I now see I got things mixed up...
Here some summary for the benefit of others.
This means that for a standalone target schema without control centre service, wb_rt_api_exec is not possible, nor sqlplus_exec_template.sql nor run_my_owb_stuff.sql. Only calling main on the mapping package will work.
Will either start that remote control center service (See Metalink Note 402401.1 - How to Setup a Remote Contol Center Service or Remote Runtime with OWB 10.2. This note explains how to construct the call to run_service.sh, and also that the password needs to be echoed to that script.)
Or I will call the main procedure. The system parameters and custom parameters are available on the procedure's in parameters.
The runtime tables will be filled when using mapping.main() procedure for a PLSQL type task - however no runtime custom ('user') parameters will be stored in the runtime repository.
I personally prefer the run_task() method (with remote CCS) since the passing of parameters is nicer.
However the availability of the CCS I need to guarantee myself, as the dba_jobs job in the standalone cannot start the service effectively.
Regards,
Erik
