OWB Repository tables

Can anyone tell me where can i get information about OWB repository tables created in the database when we install OWB.
I basically want to know what each table does??
tables for eg. wb_rt_tasks, wb_rt_errors etc...

Hi,
if you will have this information you can sell it! ;-) The repository is not documented very well. When you work with the owb some years you will know something about it, but not everything. And often you need informations from more than one table, because the information is splitted in many pieces (relational tables!). And the constraints are not documented. And in 11g the repos has changed very much!
Good luck,
regards

OWB repository not working after SID changed ?

Hi,
We have an OWB repository in a database named TEST. Recently the SID has been changed from TEST to TEST_2, and now the control center fails. Do I need to recreate the repository in the database after SID change, or could I just do some reconfigurations ? And if I could, how do I reconfigure the repository & control center based on the new SID name ?
Thanks

You don't need to recreate repository,
but you should update OWB repository table ( for more details look at this thread
Re: Unable to connect control center and start runtime service
) and maybe you need perform additional steps from Metalink note 434272.1 (for updating target location info).

OWB Design Repository Tables

Hi All,
Is there any document from where I can get a decent insight into the OWB design repository tables and their functions.
Being a bit more specific, while working in OWB 10gR1 I have experienced situations where a mapping suddenly shows a null pointer exception and becomes un-editable, and un-deployable and un-executable. The only solution then is to make the mapping from scratch. If I can know which all design repository tables are involved in storing a mapping information, then perhaps I can go to the backend fix the issue and retrieve the mapping.
Please let me know if any of you have any infomation regarding this.
Regards

Thanks a lot for your information. It gives me some idea of the tables from which these read only views are created.
I hope, in order to understand more what these underlying tables are for, I need to scratch my head :))

OWB Repository Configuration Error

Hi All,
I am getting the following error when i try to configure the OWB repository.
java.sql.SQLEXCEPTION - ORA - 22905 cannot access rows from a non-nested table item. ORA - 06512: at line 17.
Please help me out in this regard as it is urgent.
I got the error when the configuration was 94 % complete. :(

Repository tables accessed during deployment

Hi,
I would like to generate and execute owb mappings without the control center. I have imported the mdl file, generated the code of the mappings and created the packages in the database. When I try to execute the package, I got this error:
Error 100: ORA-01403: no data found
ORA-06512: at "OWB_ADM10G.WB_RT_MAPAUDIT_UTIL", line 1027
ORA-06512: at "AST_ADM.TESTE_MANUAL", line 2544
ORA-06512: at line 6
The error happens in this line: wb_rt_mapaudit_util.premap('TESTE_MANUAL', x_schema, x_audit_id, x_object_id);
If I deploy the mapping using control center, then I can execute the mapping without errors. I think it happens because the object is not "registered" in the repository tables.
I would like to do it manually, "registering" the mapping in the repository tables before executing it. I found deploy information at WB_RT_AUDIT_OBJECTS and WB_RT_AUDIT_DEPLOYMENTS, is there any other table or view I should verify?
How can I simulate a deployment without using control center or omb plus??
Thanks.
Luciene

Hi Luciene,
The main function works as the main procedure. As far as I know, the only differences are that the function has only one parameter with all owb parameters in the structure WB_RT_MAPAUDIT.WB_RT_NAME_VALUES and returns the status. The main procedure is the recommended entry point by oracle.
Try the main function with p_job_audit='FALSE'.
If the mapping is not deployed correctly (via a control center), it is not known in the repository and therefore logging will be difficult.
Regards,
Carsten.

Cannot Create OWB Repository Owner

Hello All,
On windows XP pro, 32 bit, the following tasks were completed (clean system, 1.5 gig ram and dual core)
- Installed 9.2.0.1 Server
- Installed 9.2.0.6 Patch
- Installed Oracle Worflow + and created workflow user
- Installed OWB_10.2.0.1.win.zip
All seemed to be fine until attempting to create the OWB repository owner using the Repository Assistant
Problem 1)
The Repository Assistant froze after being given the user details for the repository owner.
I found a fix (read Hack) for this that I am including FYI. The issue relates to the view dba_kgllock which was force created against objects that do not exist. To solve this I used TOAD to find the script used to create the view, deleted the view and created an empty table with the same columns.
This is a complete hackbut allowed OWB Repository Assistant. All then continued and was looking good until about 60% complete.
Problem 2)
At approx 60% installation fails with a socket read fail within java.
Thats it, I've stopped dead now, going to continue installation attempts in the morning. If anybody out there can help I would be very greatful.

This appears to be a locking issue and looking at our Support database it is resolved in 10gR1 and 10gR2 versions of the database but remains on 9i although a warning dialog should be shown. Even so the installation should continue and should be successful.
Do you have AQ running? This sometimes causes this error to occur. I think in the 10gR1 documentation this locking issue was documented and it was supposed to be added to the 10gR2 doc (I need to check to this).
To figure the lock from Repo Asst code, use the following:
select distinct
s.sid,
s.serial#,
s.username,
x.kglnaobj as objectname
from
dba_kgllock l,
v$session s,
x$kgllk x
where
l.kgllktype = 'Pin' and
s.saddr = l.kgllkuse and
s.saddr = x.kgllkuse and
x.kglnaobj like '%DBMS_LOCK%';
If this returns rows, display the warning with a suggestion to connect to SQLPlus and issue the following statement (where SID, Serial are what came back from the query)
ALTER SYSTEM KILL SESSION 'SID, Serial';
e.g.
ALTER SYSTEM KILL SESSION '13, 8'
That might solve the problem.
Hope this helps.

Cleanup OWB repository

The OWB repository browser has become very slow so I want to cleanup the job output in the repository.
Does anyone have a good script to do this?

I ran the
@purge_audit_template.sql
package with DEPLOYMENT parameter, and now Control Center Manager shows the objects with a Deploy Status of "Not Deployed".
I did not expect this and it has me concerned. I checked the db and all the objects still exist and Control Center Manager still shows a Deployed Date for each object. Does Control Center Manager get that Deploy Status from one of the audit tables that were purged?
I am looking for someone to confirm what occurred is normal and that I should not be concerned about this.
Thanks

Import model from OWB repository

We have an OWB repository with several 100 tables, mappings, etc. what we try to import but SQL Modeler seems to import nothing although it gives no errors.
We've found that before importing all the OWB environment variables must be set.
Which we did.
Then it seems to connect to the repository, do some processing and returns but without any changes in the model.
Did anyone import model from OWB successfully?
We are using version 10.2 OWB and database.
Bye,
Gabor

OK ive imported from Designer into OSDM just fine.
Good. Glad this works.
However things I dont like so far ...;)
The properties palete can you make it like owb in that when i open it and change context in the browser it updates? I dont want to have to keep going show properties.
In future releases User Interface will be adresses to be more intuitive and to be more SQL developer alike
Pushing the OK button does not appear to do anything the properties window stays open so how is it different to apply?
Sorry, but we don't understand. Pushing OK should work and should close the property window.
Things I dont like... the number of clicks to see information ( no hotkeys or shortcuts )
Agree. In future releases User Interface will be adresses to be more intuitive and to be more SQL developer alike
Next Early Adopter will have new dialog for entities and tables
No drag n drop columns from 1 table to another. No right click on browser nodes to create keys etc No CTL drop no SHIFT drop
You can drag columns
an enhancement request will be created
Why cant I reorder columns by moving them in the browser? Then I could move them visually. This also applies to property paletes if I have to go to the effort of highlighting a current row then why cant I just grab it and move it?
You can reorder columns/attributes by the "up" and "down" arrows after you highlighted the column or attribute in their respective property window.
an enhancement request will be created for doing this from the browser and the grabbing
Appears to be no ability to set common properties over a number of attributes. If I select a number of columns I cant pull up a property pallete to set a common attribute on them.
an enhancement request will be created
I could not get the enginer to logical model to enable
Should work. when you have the relational model, use the engineering to logical model icon (2 red arrows) or the design menu option and do engineer to logical model
Otherwise looks promising
Thank you!!
Kind regards,

Repository Table Empty after mapping procedures

I'm using OWB 11g and simply trying to do a 'test case' where I create a simple mapping from a single (oracle) source table to a target table and then generate and populate a repository table. All 3 tables have the exact same structure. The problem is that when I generate the Repository table it has no data in it.
I'm religiously following all the directions:
1) Create & Bind on the target table
2) Synchronize on the target table
3) Validate Mapping
4) Generate mapping
Go to Design center
5) Validate, Generate, Deploy the repository table
6) Validate, Generate, Deploy and 'Start' the repository mapping.
But when I finally select 'data' for the Repository Table the Data Viewer shows me the structure but no data beneath it.
Just to cover the basics, I've set up a Staging Area module for all of this and I'm sure my source table has data in it.
Any ideas on why this is happening?
Thanks

David,
I found the table that is generating the[b] table of view does not exist error- but I'm stumped as to why this is. I have 2 tables in my source module (dw_user) which are the EVENTS and PRIZES tables. They are both accessible from the staging schema and the repository schema in sql. But the PRIZES table is getting the table of view does not exist error and the EVENTS table is not. Also, all columns referred to in the script are all valid.
The line that is generating the error is line 17 in the script below which I've bolded. Note that Line 16 accessing the EVENTS table is not generating an error. Here are some points:
1) When I try to 'deploy' either the EVENTS table or the PRIZES table, as you suggested, I get a msg saying that these are source tables and cannot be 'deployed'. I am validating, generating and deploying the target table and the mapping however.
2) One difference I did find in my initial error was that I just happened to have a copy of the EVENTS table in the stage schema (dw_stg) but did not have a copy of the PRIZES table there. This should not matter since the schema being accessed in the sql is obviously the source schema (dw_user) and not the stage schema (dw_stg). Nonetheless, just as an experiment I also put a copy of the PRIZES table in the stage schema (dw_stg) but the error remained.
Any other ideas as to why the EVENTS table is accessible in the sql but the PRIZES table is not?
Here's the script with the error on line 17:
1) CREATE OR REPLACE PACKAGE BODY ""MAP3"" AS
2)
3)
4)
5)
6)
7) -- Procedure "JOINER_p" is the entry point for map "JOINER_p"
8)
9) PROCEDURE "JOINER_p"
10) IS
11)
12) -- Row by row processing
13) "PRZ_EVT_ld" BOOLEAN;
14) CURSOR "JOINER_c" IS
15) SELECT
16) "EVENTS"."EVENTNAME" "EVENTNAME",
[17) "PRIZES"."PRIZEPLACE" "PRIZEPLACE",
18) "PRIZES"."PRIZEAMOUNT" "PRIZEAMOUNT"
19) FROM
20) "DW_USER"."EVENTS" "EVENTS",
21) "DW_USER"."PRIZES" "PRIZES"
22) WHERE
23) ( "EVENTS"."EVENTID" = "PRIZES"."EVENTID" );
Thanks for your continued help.

Loading type in repository tables

How can I find the loading type of the mappings in the repository tables? I am using OWB 10.2.

Hi Luciene,
Basically all information that you need is stored in OWBRT_SYS.ALL_IV_XFORM_MAP_% views. Difference between ALL_RT_OBJECTS view and ALL_IV_XFORM_MAPS is taht first holds information about all deployed objects, but ALL_IV_XFORM_MAPS holds information about all mappings in owb (deployed, new - not deployed etc.). Property information is stored in ALL_IV_XFORM_MAP_PROPERTIES view. But unfortunately i can't access directly this view, because this view throws a exception (ORA-22835: Buffer too small for CLOB to CHAR or BLOB to RAW conversion (actual: 7533, maximum: 4000)). It seams to me, that this error is related to RDBMS bug (metalink: Bug No. 5610195). This view is based on CMPSTRINGPROPERTYVALUE_X view, so i don't know relations between fields and values, you can try to search trough these views.

Can't read repository tables

I'm a bit confused about OWB 11.1 structure. I have OWBSYS which is repository owner, OWBREP which is a target user and workspace owner, OWB which is a workspace. I refer to the workspace like that: OWBREP.OWB.
Where can I find the repository tables??? The tables I want exist in OWBSYS, but the select * returns nothing. It seems the table is empty. I searched in other database users, but I couldn't find that.
I can see the audit details perfectly in repository browser, but I can't do a customized query in the metadata repository.
Is there any reason I can't access the repository tables? Is there any other place I have to search?
Thanks.

Hi
In 11gR1 you have to set the workspace by calling
exec wb_workspace_management.set_workspace(<wksp_name>, <wksp_owner>)
In 11gR2 there is a workspace default.
You can then query for example SELECT * from OWBSYS.ALL_IV_PROJECTS
Cheers

ANALYZE OWB REPOSITORY

At a previous assignment we had trouble with OWB - 9.2 - slowing down. After some consideration we decided that it might be useful to have the owb-repository analyzed. After having gotten good results we decided to make it a daily habbit and never had any adverse effects on this repository.
At my current assignment I felt OWB was a bit 'sticky' and I made enquiries about how often the OWB repository was analyzed. Never, was the answer. Querying as to why this was never done, the answer from one of my co-workers was, that he'd spoken someone within the Oracle organization who had said that it would have adverse effects on the performance of OWB.
With this piece of text I would like to have some opinions regarding refreshing statistics of the OWB repository. Does anyone have experience with this? Any response - the more the better - is welcome
Cheers,
Rob

Hi Rob
Well if the database is using CBO (Cost Based Optmization) which I'm sure it is, then I can't see any reason on earth why analyzing the tables would do anything other than help the database know how to best go after the data in the tables.
I just hate these well someone, who cannot be quantified, in Oracle said this and that's the way it will be scenarios. I hear of this all the time and, to be honest, unless you get it in writing or as a piece of advice from a forum like this, I'd be rather sceptical.
Thus, my vote goes for analyzing.
Best wishes
Michael

Hi ,
What is your OWB version ?
If it is 10.2 then read the following
With Warehouse Builder 10.2.0.X, the Repository Browser Listener is only supported on Windows x86-32bit and linux x86-32bit client machine.
So start the Warehouse Builder Repository Browser Listener on Windows/Linux x86-32bit client machine
For 11g refer MOS Note 469422.1

How can I create a universe with the BO repository tables?

Hi. I need make a universe with the BO repository tables, in order to get user information .
But, when I try to insert tables in designer, using a new conecction to BO repository. I can't see tables.
Someone can help me?

The CMS repository is organized into both physical and virtual tables. Only the CMS can access the virtual tables, therefore you cannot create a universe on the CMS repository. You can access the CMS repository information through the Enterprise SDK.
