OWB steps

do somebody have a document with detailed steps of how to design a datawarehouse set up using the owb.
I don't have any idea about the Mappings and Transformations.
Searched in net for documents, didn't find anything.
So somebody help.

Please refer to the documentation (white papers, FAQs and other documents) on the OWB web page:

  • Execute owb mapping as a whole instead of giving step by step or skip

    Hi friends,
    I need a help from you.. Actually i am working with owb 10.2 and db 10.2. I am able to do all the process successfully like debugging, reinitializing and entering the data into the table.
    The thing is while debugging,i have to give step or skip to execute the mapping. Now i wanted to run the mapping as a whole,that is,once if i give debug,all the process must execute automatically and data must enter into the table. I need to avoid step or skip process.
    how to achieve that?? pls help me out..
    Thanks in advance,
    Bharath.

    Thank you very much for ur reply.
    and one more thing, consider, i have two or three mapping to be executed one by one.i.e one after another.
    say for an example,i have three stages. stage1,stage2 and stage3. all are inter-related and execute one stage by one.
    My job is to debug the stage1 alone. once it finished executing the stage1,it should automatically debug stage 2 and stage 3. and the data must enter into the table in all the stage.
    how to achieve this??
    Thanks much,
    Bharath.Any reason you can't debug them one at a time? Ideally, if you successfully execute stage1, you should have the intermediate data in some table. Resume debugging on stage2 from there.

  • High-level view of steps for 10g OWB-OLAP to Discoverer

    I would greatly appreciate ANY feedback to the following steps. These are not necessarily correct or the best way to do this. I am attempting to take source data, use OWB, create the analytical workspace, and from there have the metadata available and used by Discoverer.
    This is rather high-level, feel free to jump in anywhere.
    We are trying to see if we can get away with NOT using the Analytical workspace manager (AWM) if possible. With that in mind, we are trying to make the most of the process with OWB & OLAP.
    Is this possible to do without ever using the AWM? Can we go end to end (source data--->discoverer final reporting) primarily using OWB to get to the point where we can use the metadata for Discoverer?
    Can anyone relate experiences perhaps that would make me want to consider using the AWM at certain points instead?
    Most importantly, if I do use this methodology, would I be safe after everything has been setup? WOuld I want to consider using AWM at a later point for performance reasons while I am using Discoverer? Or would OWB be helpful as well in some aspects in maintenance of data? Any clue on how often I might need to rebuild, and if so, what to use in that case to minimize time?
    Thanks so much for any insight or opinion on anything I have mentioned!

    Hi Gregory,
    I guess the answer is that this depends. My first question is whether you are looking at a Relational OLAP or Multi Dimensional OLAP solution? This may change the discussion slightly, but just lets look at some thoughts:
    In essence you can use the OWB bridge to generate the AW objects (cubes etc). If you do that (for either ROLAP or MOLAP) you will get the AW objects enabled for querying, using any OLAPI query tool, like BI Beans or the new Discoverer for OLAP. The current OWB release does not run the discoverer enabler (creating views specifically written for EUL support in Disco classic).
    So if you are looking at Disco classic you must use the AWM route...
    The other things that you must be aware off is that the OWB technology is limited to cloning the relational objects for now. This means that you will create a new model based on your existing data. If you want to tweak the objects generated you will probably need to go to the underlying code in either scenario.
    So if you want to create calculated measures for example you could generate a cube with OWB, create a "dummy measure" and add the formula in OLAP DML. The same will go for some other objects you may want to create such as text measures...
    The benefit of creating place holder or dummy measures is that the metadata is completely in order, you simply change the measure's behavior...
    For the future (the beta starts relatively soon) OWB will support much more modeling, like logical cubes and you can then directly deploy to OLAP. Also the mappings are transparent to the storage. So you map to a logical cube and OWB will implement the correct to load either OLAP or relational targets.
    We will also start supporting calculated measures, sparsity definitions, partioning and compression on cubes, as we will support parallel building of cubes.
    Hope this gives you some insight!

  • ETL process steps in OWB

    Hi friends,
    <li> can i know the etl steps involved in owb. if so can you provide the etl steps now.
    <li> And also there is any diagram for owb, Covering owb etl process from source to target(including BI components) too. (like available for infomatica in a diagrammatical manner) like how it is taking data from source and how it is performing etl process and how it is transforming it to data warehouse and how BI components utilizing it.
    Thanks
    Regards,
    Saro.
    Your Answers will be marked.

    Hi Saro,
    OWB does not enforce some specific steps on you. You define your datawarehouse architecure according to your needs. OWB perfectly support you to
    + extract the data from the source systems or files
    + load into the database (staging)
    + process the data within the database, e.g. loading it from the staging area into the core (normalized or star schema)
    + load it into OLAP cubes
    + design and monitor the overall process using process flows

  • Steps to change location credentials in owb 10G

    Hi,
    Can you please let me know the steps to follow when trying to update location credentials in OWB 10G. after updating the schema and password I re-registered the location but I dont see the DB link updated in the target schema.
    Also can you please let me know where I can get the updatelocation.sql and how to use it to update the location info.

    You will have to redeploy the connector in order to have the database link defined with the new credentials. The credentials in the database link are defined when it is deployed/created.

  • What steps required in OWB when source gets changed?

    Hi,
    I have a project with source module and target module with different mappings. Everything is working fine. Now I need to change my source database connection and execute the same mappings. What steps are required to implement this changes. Im very new OWB. Kindly give your suggestions.
    Regards
    Kishan

    Patrick,
    To the solution you suggested, I understand after re-registering the source location, we would need to redploy the connector from the target to that source and also all the mappings which are using that source object.
    I was wondering what would be the implications if one drops and recreates the DBLINK in the target schema to point the new source. The only which I am aware of would be to re-compile all the packages which are using that dblinks.

  • What steps need follow in OWB after changing SERVICE_NAME in RAC

    Hi,
    Due to some reason we are planning to change the SERVICE_NAME in the RAC environment. We have deployed near about 500 mapping and 10 process flows with the old SERVICE_NAME.Using OMBALTER LOCATION "LOCATION_NAME" SET PROPERTIES(SERVICE_NAME) VALUES ("NEW_SERVICE_NAME")
    if we change the SERVICE_NAME to new one what are all the impacts.
    1. Whether all mapping and process flows will become invalid?
    2. Whether we need to re-deploy all mapping and process flows?
    3. What procedure we need to follow?
    Oracle DB version 10.2.0.4 and OWB version 10.2.0.4
    Regards,
    Murali

    Hi Murali,
    how did you specify address of target database during creating OWB repository (as SQL*Net string or with host/port/service name notation)?
    Using OMBALTER LOCATION "LOCATION_NAME" SET PROPERTIES(SERVICE_NAME) VALUES ("NEW_SERVICE_NAME")You won't change locations address in this way (because location is already registered).
    Again - how did created locations (with SQL*Net string or with host/port/service name notation)?
    Anyway try to look at metalink note 434272.1 "How To Update Warehouse Builder After A Database Cloning" (this note contains reference to utility for changing location address in form host/port/service)

  • Owb first step

    hi all,
    i'm dealing for the first time with owb.
    i'm doing some mappings in order to populate ods tables from staging tables (external tables).
    in order to convert the type of a column i came across the anydata cast and tried to use it. since it gave me a bunch of errors i decided to use the expression module using the converting functions.
    so here the first question: 1) what does the anydata cast module does? how can i use it?
    when importing tables from oracle to owb i noticed that the column with type integer are converted in number. so here the second question: 2) why is that? is that normal?
    during a mapping using the expression module i take a varchar2 variable and through the substr(field,1,3) function i put it into a char(3) variable since the end field it's char(3) type. if i start the mapping it gives me the error saying that the destination buffer is too small. however if i set the type to varchar2(3) that error does not occur. so here the third question: 3) why is that? giving this problem i get a lot of alert during the validation problem.
    least but not last here question four: 4) where can i find a short description of the usage and what they are used for the module in the palette menu?
    thx in advance
    by the way, the owb version is 11g r2

    First of all many thanks - Nawneet for the reply !!
    I have went through the link (all 7 chapters) that you provided and performed all the hand-on exercise as well, still I am not able to find a Direct solution to my problem.
    With the info from the Link: We created the flat-file SOURCE module and external table in the TARGET module.
    My Problem is to APPEND data in the existing table of the database, as one would have done through SQL-LOADER. My Flat file will keep on changing on daily basis and data must get append to 1 table (daily)
    Many Thanks once again for your time,

  • Help--Mapping multiple steps within ONE map in OWB 9.04 -

    Hello all
    I want to consolidate all the steps in one mapping. The following steps need to be conducted:
    1. Import a flat file to become a external table (2 or more)
    2. Map these external tables to apply some filter, cleansing process and then write the result another flat file.
    3.From number #2 flat file result , I will map to a warehouse oracle tables.
    Your response greatly appreciated

    Since you are writing to a flat file target as an intermediate step, you might have to split the mapping in in two.
    Two questions:
    - Why do you want to have everything in one mapping? It might be better to have more than one mapping and then consolidate the process in a workflow that will contain them all. You could the define the dependencies and operation sequences between the mappings in the workflow.
    - Why are you using a flat file as an intermediate step instead of a staging table?

    Hi Vidyanand,
    Did you create the runtime access user using the runtime assistant? Did you select the correct runtime repository (if you have more) to associate your runtime access user with?
    Note that there are 4 database roles being created when you create a runtime repository owner:
    - OWB_A_<runtime repository owner>
    - OWB_D_<runtime repository owner>
    - OWB_R_<runtime repository owner>
    - OWB_U_<runtime repository owner>
    If you would grant those roles to a user, then that user becomes an access user for the user with username <runtime repository owner>.
    Note that you can also use the runtime repository credentials to connect to the runtime repository for deployment purposes, but you may not want that because of security concerns.
    Thanks,
    Mark.

  • Error in installing a new Repository in OWB 10g Release 2

    Could you pls help me in resolving this issue?
    Thanks in advance,

    Does this mean, ... we have to install the OWB 64 bit and install a new repository in the 64 bit server?In my opinion you don't need to create new repository.
    After migrating database to 64bit perform steps from Metalink note 434272.1 "How To Update Warehouse Builder 10.2 After A Database Cloning".
    It is better to save the same path for new OWB 64bit software. If you install OWB into different path you need to update OWBRTPS table with new path to OWB software (look at metalink note 550271.1).

  • Getting an error while viewing a data in owb

    Hi,
    I created an External table based on a flat file. But I am not able to view the data in the external table while the flat file has the data.
    I am using this external table as a source in my mapping but no data is getting loaded even after the successful execution of the mapping.I am getting the following error while viewing the data
    ORA-29913: error in executing ODCIEXTTABLEFETCH callout
    ORA-29400: data cartridge error

    Please help me regarding this. I am new to the owb 11g.

    Thanks for you reply. Still I can't view the data. Actually what i did is imported a .csv file using files then created a external table configured , validated and deployed.In next step created a mapping with this excel this using table operator validated and genrated code. In next step using the control center manager i deployed it. But i can't view the data still in the external table.
    Is this procedure is correct for loading the excel sheet in to databse. My client environment is on windows xp and database is on linux environment.

  • How to model in OWB if you have a subquery in your select statement? (11.2)

    Which operator (is it the Table operator) to use if I have a subquery as part of my select statement? (The way I do it works, but is not elegant. What I do is create a table for the subquery and than join that with the other sources to point to my target.) But, would appreciate the best way with OWB's features.
    Here is the entire SQL (including the subquery):
    SELECT to_numbe (null), course_id
    at.book, lp.NAME,
    (select b.pricing from qp_pricing_attributes b
    where b.list_id = ll.list_id and b.product = at.product) sign,
    ll.operand AS price, lhb.comments
    FROM
    pricing_attribs at,
    list_lines ll,
    list_h lp,
    list_b lhb
    WHERE 1 = 1
    and ll.list_line_id = atrib.list_line_id
    AND ll.list_header_id = lp.list_header_id
    AND lp.list_header_id = lhb.list_header_id
    Thanks you.

    Hi
    Doesn't need to be a table in the target. Let's take a very simple example, let's say you wanted to do the following;
    select ename,(select dname from dept d where d.deptno=e.deptno) from emp e
    Then DEPT is your lookup table and EMP is your driving table.
    1. Add EMP on to the canvas.
    2. Add in lookup operator
    3. Bind lookup to DEPT
    4. Hit finish
    5. Map EMP.DEPT to DEPT.INGRP1 (the lookup operator)
    6. Edit lookup operator, on Lookup Conditions tab set DEPTNO for lookup column, and DEPTNO for input attribute
    7. Lookup complete now
    You can add in a target table operator and map from the source EMP table and the output attributes of the lookup operator. you can change step 4 to carry on through wizard and define lookup, but I have chosen to do 5, to automatically get the names and datatypes of the inputs. There are lot of other options now in 11gR2 in the lookup.
    Hope this makes sense.
    Cheers
