OWB sql

How can I use my own written SQL in mapping without using the expression builder. Like if I want a subquery.
Is there any function to get start and end date of month from current date.

Hi Tom
I'm pretty sure you can use yur own SQL inside OWB, I'm just not certain how. As I have mentioned before I don't have an OWB version up and running where I am so I am unable to check.
Regarding the functions you asked, it all depends as to whether you are using a fiscal period or a calendar period. Let's assume you're using a calendar period where the 1st of the month is the start date and the 30th or 31st (or 28th or 29th if February) is the end date. Look at this code:
Start date:
TRUNC(SYSDATE, 'MM')
End date:
TRUNC(ADD_MONTHS(SYSDATE, 1), 'MM') - 1
I hope this helps
Best wishes

OWB : SQL*Loader configuration ?

Hi,
I've just migrated to OWB 11.2.0.3, Windows XP, 32 bit client, to 11.2.0.3 database server (RHEL6 64bit).
I've been using a 'bespoke' SQL*Lodaer (sqlldr) script, in version 10, which is located under the $OWB_HOME path. Would anyone know if it's possible to configure OWB 11.2.0.3 to execute a 'bespoke sqlldr' script from a user specified location, please ?
Thanks,
Nigel

Hi Nigel
There's a blog post below that should give you help...

OWB SQL Developer Reports

There are some reports on the OWB exchange for SQL Developer primarily based on the OWB runtime audit views for OWB 10gR2. They are based on the public views and should be used with SQL Developer 1.1 and up. They have been used when developing process flows and maps to get a quicker turnaround time of diagnosing problems and progressing. They are not all encompassing but are handy if you already use SQL Developer.
Exchange:
http://www.oracle.com/technology/products/warehouse/htdocs/OWBexchange.html
Zip with reports and overview:
http://www.oracle.com/technology/products/warehouse/htdocs/Experts/owb_sqldeveloper.zip
If anyone has comments or additional reports that are useful let me know.
David

Each of my reports has its own tab. The main report has a tab. Then when I drill down it opens a new tab.
So for me I just select the main report tab.
What tabs open when you run the main report and then drill down one level?

Execute SQL*Loader mapping

Hi all,
I'm trying to execute a deployed OWB SQL*Loader mapping, using the oem_exec_template.sql script. I've got the following error:
Stage 1: Decoding Parameters
| location_name=ORA_LOC_DWH
| task_type=SQLLoader
| task_name=MAP_SA_AGGK_FEVO
Stage 2: Opening Task
declare
ERROR at line 1:
ORA-20001: Task not found - Please check the Task Type, Name and Location are
correct.
ORA-06512: at line 268
I can execute the mapping out of the OWB client and I'm also have no problems to execute a PLSQL mapping via that script.
Did anybody use this script for a SQL*Loader mapping before?
Regards Uwe

Hi Jean-Perre,
the names of the location and the mapping should be OK. Only the mapping STEP_TYPE seems to be different (UPPERCASE) to the one which is used inside of your script.
OMB+> OMBRETRIEVE ORACLE_MODULE 'ORA_DWH_SA' GET REF LOCATION
ORA_LOC_DWH
OMB+> OMBCC 'ORA_DWH_SA'
Context changed.
OMB+> OMBLIST MAPPINGS

The mapping is deployed, otherwise i couldn't execute the mapping out of the OWB client.

Oem_exec_template.sql

I am planning to schedule mappings using OEM and referred this:
http://www.oracle.com/technology/products/warehouse/htdocs/oem_scheduling_viewlet_swf.html
But I cannot find oem_exec_template.sql script in the mentioned directory.....I am using OWB 11g

or here is the script:
rem SYNOPSYS
rem
rem @oem_exec_template.sql rt_owner location_name {PLSQL | SQL_LOADER | PROCESS} task_name system_params custom_params
rem
rem NAME
rem
rem oem_exec_template.sql - OEM Execution Template
rem
rem USAGE
rem
rem rt_owner := e.g. MY_RUNTIME - Name of the Runtime Repository Owner
rem
rem location_name :- e.g. MY_WAREHOUSE - Physical Name of the Location to which this task was deployed
rem (i.e. a DB Location or a Process Location or the Platform Schema)
rem Note: Always use "PlaformSchema" for SQL_LOADER types.
rem
rem task_type :- PLSQL - OWB PL/SQL Mapping
rem | SQL_LOADER - OWB SQL*Loader Mapping
rem | PROCESS - OWB ProcessFlow
rem
rem task_name :- e.g. MY_MAPPING - Physical Name of the Deployed Object
rem
rem custom_params :- { , | (name = value [, name = value]...)}
rem e.g. ","
rem or MY_PARAM=1,YOUR_PARAM=true
rem
rem system_params :- { , | (name = value [, name = value]...)}
rem e.g. ","
rem or MY_PARAM=1,YOUR_PARAM=true
rem
rem RETURNS
rem
rem 0 if task reports SUCCESS or WARNING, otherwise >0
rem
rem
rem DESCRIPTION
rem
rem This SQL*Plus script can be pasted into a user-defined OEM SQL*Plus Job. This job
rem can be then used with OEM's 'Create Like' functionality to either create new
rem parameterized jobs or to submit new jobs for immediate execution.
rem
rem This script is design to be run from a Runtime User, not the Runtime Repository Owner.
rem The Runtime Repository Owner is nominated to the parameters.
rem
rem In its unchanged form the script takes the three keys required to identify
rem the executable task.
rem
rem The task is executed with the default parameters configured prior to deployment.
rem
rem The custom_params and system_params values override the default input parameters
rem of the task.
rem
rem Note: The comma character can be escaped using the backslash character; likewise the backslash
rem character can be escaped by itself.
rem
rem A list of the valid System Parameters for each task type can be obtained from the OWB
rem documentation, but generally the deployed defaults are sufficient. The Custom Parameters
rem are defined on the object in the OWB Designer.
rem
rem EXAMPLE
rem
rem @oem_exec_template.sql MY_RUNTIME MY_WAREHOUSE PLSQL MY_MAPPING "," ","
rem @oem_exec_template.sql MY_RUNTIME PlatformSchema SQL_LOADER MY_LOAD "," ","
rem @oem_exec_template.sql MY_RUNTIME MY_WORKFLOW PROCESS MY_PROCESS "," ","
rem
rem Note: @oem_exec_template.sql must not included in the OEM parameter field as is added
rem automatically by OEM.

Confusion over DBCA script generated for manual RAC DB creation

Version:11.2.0.4/RHEL 6.3
We would like to create our 3-node RAC DB manually. DBCA cannot meet our requirement because our redo log files, datafiles, tempfiles and control files are placed in a complicated manner . If we use DBCA , we will have to spend a lot of time configuring to our requirements after the DB creation.
I generated the DB creation scripts from DBCA (DB Name = BRCFPRD )
DBCA placed the db creation scripts in the specified directory in all the 3 nodes !!
They all have almost the same contents . The only difference being the instance name (BRCFPRD12.sql for Node2, ... etc).
Scripts in each node have the createDB.sql statement which has CREATE DATABASE "BRCFPRD" statement. Why is this ? The database need to be created only from one node. Then why did DBCA place createDB.sql in all nodes ?
I just want to run the script from just one node , say Node1 and it should create the 3-Node RAC DB. How can I do this manually?

Validation of loaded data

I am loading fixed width flat-files into Oracle tables using OWB (SQL*Loader). What's the best way by which I can test the validity/correctness of data i.e. match apples-to-apples ?
Do you use any test scripts ? If so, then could you please elaborate ?
Uptil now, I have been only checking for count validations but not actual data validation.
Your inputs will be invaluable.
Thanks
John.

Hi,
I validate using a set of functions in a package that return substitute values. On the basis of these substitue values records are accepted or rejected. The set contains functions for validation of date & number fields.
So, in short. Write function to validate numbers or dates. Insert known substitue values for erroneous data and validate in the next step on these substitute values.
Hope this is what you're looking for.
Cheers,
Rob

Process Flow errors - how do you see them

Hi there
Created and deployed a process flow but when run it either comes up with warnings or errors. Really simple process flow to run two mappings which, individually run fine. when run the process flow in Conrol Cenetr has error or warning symbol, click job details but can't see what the error, warning message is.
Any ideas how to see them - this is the first process flow I've created?
Many Thanks

Hi
You can either;
* use the repository browser and view the audit trail there (must start the browser listener first).
* use the OWB SQL Developer reports that use the public views on the exchange, the error details are recorded in the public views.
http://www.oracle.com/technology/products/warehouse/htdocs/Experts/owb_sqldeveloper.zip
I created these for a quicker turnaround time in building/debugging process flows. The browser is the official mechanism.
This is fixed in 10.2.0.3 - you will see the errors in the control center manager, where you might have expected them in the first place!
Cheers
David

Calling Java from OMB Plus

I have a number of OMB Scripts which import/export etc.. Within this script I capture the password from the user so that I can connect to the repository. I found a new class in the latest java which will mask this password and I want to use this within my TCL Script. From what I've read you should be able to call Java Classes from a TCL Script however it gives me a java.lang.reflect.InvocationTargetException
error. Any help you would be appreciated. (Error at bottom of post)
Thanks
Sean
I've included the Call and the class below.
Within my tcl script
package require java
set t [ java::new finance.ombpass ]
set owbreppass [$t run]
JAVA ombpass.Java
(The Class file ombpass.class in contained in the folder "finance" located under
oracle\product\owb\10204\owb\bin\admin\)
The TCL Source is being called after performing a cd to that directory.
package finance;

Besides "package require java", you also need to "java import" your class into TCL. For example, this is how I implemented my OMB-SQL package:

Oracle also has a demo example of integrating java with OMB+ to create modal dialogs which might provide additional guidance.

Good luck with it!

OMBIMPORT situation?

When you are in the OWB Design Center, you can explore down through your project, into a module, and right click on Views. If you click Import..., you are taken to the Import Metadata Wizard. If I select only View, and then press Next, I am shown a list of Views that I can import. I select one and click Next again, then Finish. The View is now available for use within Design Center (to build mappings, etc.)
I need to automate this process, and have been working with OMB Plus as a solution to automating other things within OWB. My first inclination was to try the OMBIMPORT command, but frankly the documentation is a little cryptic to me on this particular thing. (And I have successfully automated Mapping Creation).
Has anyone done this before? Am I barking up the wrong tree with OMB Plus?
Thanks,
-Kenneth

Failed to create Database Link in OWB 9.2 for remote SQL Server

Hi,
I have to create Database link for connecting to SQL server in a different machine.I am using OWB 9.2 and XP.
Dataserver is the machine name which is running SQL Server
I included follwing lines in TNSNAMES.ORA file
hsodbc.world =
(DESCRIPTION =
(ADDRESS_LIST =
(ADDRESS = (PROTOCOL = TCP)(HOST = dataserver)(PORT = 1433)
(CONNECT_DATA = (SID=hsodbc.world)
(HS =OK)
I included follwing lines in Listener.ORA file

(SID_DESC=

(PROGRAM=hsodbc)
I included follwing lines in inithsodbc.ORA file
HS_FDS_CONNECT_INFO = testdsn
HS_FDS_TRACE_LEVEL = 0
While creating new database link I gave the follwing values
DB Link Name : Mylink
SQL * Net Connect String: hsodbc
User Name: sa
password:<my password>
Then clicked "Create and Test" button to get the follwing error message
Testing...
Failed.
ORA-12154 TNS:could not resolve service name
*Cause: The service name specified is not defined correctly in the TNSNAMES.ORA file
*Action: Make the following checks and correct the error:
- Verify that a TNSNAMES.ORA file exists on your repository server
in the proper place and is accessible. See the operating
system specific manual for details on the required name and location.
- Check to see that the service name exists in one of the
TNSNAMES.ORA files and add it if necessary.
- Make sure there are no syntax errors in the file.
Particularly look for unmatched parentheses or stray characters.
Any error in a TNSNAMES.ORA file makes it unusable. See
Chapter 4 in the SQL*Net V2 Administrator's Guide. If possible,
regenerate the configuration files using the Oracle Network Manager.
Is there anything wrong in my configuration. Please help me in getting out of this problem.
Thanks in advance
Andy

Hi Mark,
Thanks Mark.I did the changes in the specified .ora file but now it shows a different error message.
The error is

Connect SQL server source from OWB

Hi,
I have to connect to SQL Server source from OWB.
I am using OWB 10.2 version and Owb is installed on UNIX platform.
I have created system DSN, made respective entries in hs/admin and edited listener.ora file.
In OWB Non-Oracle sorces trying to connect with ODBC connection to SQL server source.
It is throwing erorr 'ORA-28545:error diagonised by Net8 agent when connecting to an agent Unable to retrieve text of NETWORK/NCR message 65535
ORA-02063: preceding 2 lines from OWB-2339'
How to check System DSN is setup properly on UNIX or not.
Could anyone help out on this.

Hi David,
I have created db link and queried with select statement.
It has thrown following error.
" ORA-12537: TNS:connection closed".
And, I don't know how to use "trace level gateway service configuration property in the service .ora file".
I want to start from the first.
Could you please give me the guidelines on, how to connect to a Sql server source(Which is on Remote Server) from OWB.
What are the prerequisites and steps.
Thanks for your help,
Shaik.

Connect to MS SQL server from OWB on Linux platform

Hi,
I want to connect to MS SQL server through OWB, on Linux platform.
I suppose I would use JDBC driver, and Heterogeneous services. Is that possible?
I did not see anything on JDBC driver for MS SQL server for Linux platform from Oracle.
Also, I was wondering is Oracle Gateway 10g for Linux a way to connect to MSSQL server?
Any leads would be appreciated.
Thanks
Ani

Hi,
This quite an actual topic for myself, so I decided to take some time to collect some information.
Start at:
* Oracle Generic Connectivity and Oracle Transparent Gateway - http://www.oracle.com/technology/products/gateways/gateways_fov.html
You can use the free Heterogenous Services component named Generic Connectivity for connecting to SqlServer over ODBC. You will need to find (or purchase?) a third-party ODBC driver for SqlServer for Linux, e.g. from www.datadirect.com. Setting this up will allow you to define a databaselink to the SqlServer. Open Gateways implements a limited set of the oracle SQL, so you will have to find out what is possible and what not.
See also:
* How To Setup HSODBC on Linux - https://metalink.oracle.com/metalink/plsql/showdoc?db=NOT&id=264567.1
* Generic Connectivity Available on Linux x86 with 10g - https://metalink.oracle.com/metalink/plsql/showdoc?db=NOT&id=261726.1
You can also use the Transparent Gateway for SqlServer (HS), which is about EURO 12000 per computer(!). This gives you a full implementation of Oracle SQL and you can access the SqlServer like it was Oracle.
You can also install Microsofts JDBC drivers into Oracle's JVM, and connect through JDBC to SqlServer. This is however not supported by Oracle, but it will work. See:
* What is required for a Java Stored Procedure to connect to a SQL Server Database? - https://metalink.oracle.com/metalink/plsql/ml2_documents.showDocument?p_database_id=NOT&p_id=276167.1
See also:
* Options for Connecting to Foreign Data Stores and Non-Oracle Databases - https://metalink.oracle.com/metalink/plsql/showdoc?db=NOT&id=233876.1
* JDBC Developer's Guide - http://download-west.oracle.com/docs/cd/B14117_01/java.101/b10979/overvw.htm
Good luck, Erik Ykema

How to run OWB mappings from SQL*Plus

Hi:
I used to run OWB mappings using the sample code RUN_MY_OWB_STUFF in a customized PL/SQL procedure. This works for OWB 10g release 1 but not for OWB Paris (10g Release 2) because the execution always returns FAILURE.
Is there something new in OWB Paris that RUN_MY_OWB_STUFF doesn't work anymore?
Thanks,
Hazbleydi C. Verástegui

Hi Maruthi:
I already check the input parameters of the mapping. I'm setting them as a custom parameters. This is the output of the execution:
16:01:11 SQL> EXEC PR_RUN_OWBMAPPING_TABLA2('MPG_EMPLEADOS_NOMINA_PERIODO',2007,01);
Stage 1: Decoding Parameters
| location_name=LOC_DM_STAGING
| task_type=PLSQL
| task_name=MPG_EMPLEADOS_NOMINA_PERIODO
Stage 2: Opening Task
| l_audit_execution_id=39635
Stage 3: Overriding Parameters
| P_ANO%CUSTOM='2007'
| P_MES%CUSTOM='1'
Stage 4: Executing Task
| l_audit_result=3 (FAILURE)
Stage 5: Closing Task
Stage 6: Processing Result
| exit=3
By the way, RUN_MY_OWB_STUFF is the same as RUN_OWB_CODE.sql except for the two first parameters (p_result and p_audit_id):
create or replace procedure run_owb_code
( p_result out number
, p_audit_id out number
, p_repos_owner in varchar2 default null
, p_location_name in varchar2 default null
, p_task_type in varchar2 default null
, p_task_name in varchar2 default null
, p_system_params in varchar2 default '","'
, p_custom_params in varchar2 default '","'
, p_oem_friendly in number default 0
is
CREATE OR REPLACE function run_my_owb_stuff
( p_repos_owner in varchar2 default null
, p_location_name in varchar2 default null
, p_task_type in varchar2 default null
, p_task_name in varchar2 default null
, p_system_params in varchar2 default '","'
, p_custom_params in varchar2 default '","'
, p_oem_friendly in number default 0
) return number
is
How do you invoke your wrapper PL/SQL with these two first parameters?
Thanks in advance,
