Parameter file in DAC

Hi All,
I am new to BI Apps and DAC, I have created a custom mapping in informatica and I am getting the following error I tried to unit test it in DAC. I have defined the source system folders, created a new task, subject area and execution plans. I am not able to understand to why its not able to read the parameter file, Please let me know how to approach for this error.
Appreciate your help !
Thanks,
Rahul.

The parameter file is used as a way to dynamically populate certain values in the ETL mappings and mapplets. Its useful because it allows you to change values in the DAC instead of manually editing the Informatica mappings. It provides a layer of flexibility that you would not have by Informatica itself.

DAC tasks failing cuz Parameter files are missing

We are unable to find any of the parameter file in our installation. Although all the source files and lookup files have been copied to the informatica Src and lookup directories from dac's dirctory.
I nenver had any issue with these source, lookup and parameter files they get installed in there respective directories when we do the installation and copy SrcFiles and lookup files to a different locaton as per instructions.
Please advise what's the best approach. I am hoping we dont' need to reinstall everyting from scratch.
Below the error.
ERROR : TM_6292 : (6432|6620) Session task instance [SIL_InsertRowInRunTable]: VAR_27015 [Cannot find specified [b]parameter file [D:\Informatica PowerCenter 7.1.4\Server\SrcFiles\SILOS.SIL_InsertRowInRunTable.txt] for session [SIL_InsertRowInRunTable].].

This error usually happens when you do not have a Physical connection in the Workflow Manager defined. As a part of that particular workflow a file is created on the fly to run the test insert. Double check your physical connections.
Go to Page 119 in the documentation: The section "To configure the database connections" (http://download-uk.oracle.com/docs/cd/E10021_01/doc/bi.79/b31979.pdf)
You need to make connections that match the values from the Setup tab in the DAC in the Informatica Workflow Manager.

Parameter file not found in the location as specified by infa workflow log

Hi,
I am unable to find the Parameter file in the location, /u01/obi/inf_svr/server/infa_shared/Temp/SDE_ORA_APTransactionFact_ExpenseDistribution_Full_vxqbGa, as specified in the Informatica workflow log. But Informatica maps are succeeding without any error. Also Parameter file location specified by DAC is different ie /u01/obi/inf_svr/server/infa_shared/SrcFile and proper parameter file exist in this location. Please someone help clarify what is happening here and how the maps are succeeding with the parameter file as specified in th workflow log.

How to configure the task(Informatica workflow) which contains two sessions in it?
Because I found a recommendation that every workflow should have only one session in it and the session name must be same as that of workflow name. But my requirement is, I have to configure a workflow in DAC which contains two sessions in it.
Thanks a lot in advance for all your help sir.

Parameter Files Error

Hi everybody,
I am working with Oracle BI Apps, and I use Informatica as ETL tool and DAC(Datawarehouse Administration Console) as a manager of Informatica.
In DAC I have execution plans that execute informatica workflows.
My problem is next:
I have this 3 paths where I have parameters file:
/tfnac3/3rdparty/oraclebi/infrmatica/901/server/infa_shared/SrcFiles
/tfnac3/oraclebi/product/OracleBI/DAC/bifoundation/dac/Informatica/parameters/input
/tfnac3/oraclebi/product/OracleBI/DAC/bifoundation/dac/Informatica/parameters
Inside this parameters files I have this value mplt_BC_ORA_ProductDimension.$$MASTER_ORG='204' by default, then I changed to mplt_BC_ORA_ProductDimension.$$MASTER_ORG=136, because this is the real value that I need, but when I execute my execution plan in DAC, in this path /tfnac3/oraclebi/product/OracleBI/DAC/bifoundation/dac/Informatica/parameters the value in parameter file return to '204'.
My question is,
Do you know why is this happen?
Is there another path where I can find more parameters files?
Is there any another way to change this value, I mean another configuration that I can do to change this value?
Regards,
Arnulfo.

hi,
if this parameter is listed under dac-->design -->source system prameters
change the value of mplt_BC_ORA_ProductDimension.$$MASTER_ORG to 136
and assign the physical path of parameter filename given in workflow manger ( default is $PMSourceFileDir\) to InformaticaParameterFileLocation in dac
under setup-->dac system setup properties ex:
InformaticaParameterFileLocation C:\Informatica\9.0.1\server\infa_shared\SrcFiles

OBIA 7.9.6.2 parameter files not properly generated

I am seeing 4 parameter files being generated with names like this: [note @ sign in the file name]
DataWarehouse.DataWarehouse.SILOS.@DAC_SIL_PositionDimension_FULL_TD_CMD.txt
DataWarehouse.DataWarehouse.SDE_ORAR1212_Adaptor.@DAC_SDE_ORA_WorkforceEventQueue_SupStat_CMD.txt
DataWarehouse.DataWarehouse.SDE_ORAR1212_Adaptor.@DAC_SDE_ORA_PersistedStage_WorkforceEvent_Performance_Mntn_CMD.txt
DataWarehouse.DataWarehouse.SDE_ORAR1212_Adaptor.@DAC_SDE_ORA_PayrollFact_Agg_Items_CMD.txtI am using 7.9.6.2 (fin, hr, scm, P&S) with EBS R12.1.x
All the tasks run fine, expect these 4 (and their dependencies)
Rest of the parameter file names are correct. As a result of the above 4 parameter file names,
the ETL workflow is not getting triggered, hence, no informatica session log or workflow log.
Only DAC error log shows up, for these tasks.
500+/700+ ETL tasks completed, hence, I do not suspect any major configuration issue. Note this is 7.9.6.2 of Bi apps.

WE did had the similar problem and we were able to come out of it with below one.
1). Modify infa_command.xml in /install/DAC/CONF
2). In the file, search for start_workflow_8 and start_workflow_8_alternative
3). Swap names by renaming start_workflow_8 to start_workflow_8_alternative
4). Rename start_workflow_8_alternative to start_workflow_8
5). Place the modified file in the same location, bounce DAC Server and re-run ETL
NOTE: The parameter will work only if DAC Server and INFA server are on the same server.

ZAV 10 - Unable to open parameter file error

When trying to launch a ZAV 10 app, C-Cure Administration Console, users are getting an error "**Unable to open parameter file cc800cl.pf, errno 2. (1247)". This only appears to be happening on Win7. This did work when first created, but after a few weeks the error has started to pop-up.

If this was working and is not now, and you are certain nothing has changed on the client systems (or at least nothing that could interfere here), then this might be an issue with the license used when building the application. What is the expiry date of your license and was it applied prior to building this exe?
If this isn't expiring please open an SR for this issue, if you can. This is the information the support team will require:
- Copies of any warnings or errors around the time the issue occurs (or a copy of the application and system event logs, in .evtx format)
- A copy of the exe you are using
- If you can build the exe again as a diagnostic-mode executable and provide the diagnostics generated when attempting to run, that can be very helpful
- It may also be required that you send installation media for the application and your build process, so the team can attempt to reproduce the issue in-house
- You will also typically be asked for the .xappl file and associated Files folder, if reproducing in-house is required. This will become absolutely necessary if a ticket needs to be filed with Spoon, so sending it ahead of time is a good idea

Export Utility USING PARAMETER FILE

1st problem:
I have created a parameter file USING NOTEPAD.All the export parameters specied in it.
But when i executed it at command prompt as
EXP73 USERNAME/PASSWORD
PARFILE=<filename with .par extension>
Its giving error
LCC-00211:UNEXPECTED DELIMITER [NULL]
I have tried using both valid delimiters 'SPACE' and ',' but still i am getting the same error.
But in case of IMPORT utility i have used the same procedure and i am getting the required result.
Please help as early as possible.
null

Hi,
What u can do is chech out the options by keying in exp73 help=y. U will need to specify the options by urself on the command line.
Example:
exp73 file=c:\export1.dmp user=scott log=c:\export1.log <return>
<BLOCKQUOTE><font size="1" face="Verdana, Arial">quote:</font><HR>Originally posted by Gopinath Parthasarathy ([email protected]):
While using Export utility at Command prompt:
EXP73 LOG=<filename>
it is just asking username and password after which there is no interaction and exports all the tables with logfile creation.

How can I display the correct enum ring value from a parameter file?

A user will make selections based on the menu ring (there are several of these) and then the values are saved for later use as a parameter (text) file. I have several menu rings which I write out to a parameter (text) file.
How can I take these text values back into the appropriate location in the menu ring. For example, if I have menuring_value at index 0, menuring_value at index 1, etc. how do I make sure that, when the par (text) file is loaded, the saved values are the ones displayed without erasing the displayed menu ring value and inputting the saved one (from the parameter file). I would like the text value to search the appropriate menu ring, make a match and then display that menu ring value when the parameter file is loaded.

If I understand your question, attached VI should have solved your doubt
In this example, Configuration File VIs are used to save & retrieve MenuRings' statuses.
As this VI is improvised, please further modify it to suit your needs.
Cheers!

Lost of Parameter file in web application

Hi,
We develop a java (1.5) application running on Tomcat (5.5 and 6.0).
In this application, we use a parameter file in YAML format.
Everything works perfectly except when the tomcat server is restarted.
At this point, the application is no more able to reach the parameter file.
We have to re-deploy the whole application to be able to use the parameter file.
But we lost it again when the server is restarted.
We don't know if the problem is coming from our tomcat configuration or from our java code.
The problem is seen on Tomcat 5.5, 6.0 and on Linux and Mac OS X.
So, it must come from our code.
Do you have an idea ?
Thanks
Here is the code where the parameter file is read:
final private String YAMLpath = "truc" + File.separator + "META-INF" + File.separator + "Parameters.yaml";
try
               Scanner openYAML55 = new Scanner(new File(this.YAMLpath) ); //For Tomcat5.5
               this.readParameterFile(openYAML55);
               openYAML55.close();
          catch(FileNotFoundException f)
               f.printStackTrace();
private void readParameterFile(Scanner paramFile)
     while(paramFile.hasNextLine())
               Pattern paramLine = Pattern.compile("(\\w+)\\s*:\\s*(.*)");
               Matcher paramArg = paramLine.matcher(paramFile.nextLine());
               if ( paramArg.matches() )
if ( paramArg.group(1).trim().equals("dbase") )
                         this.dbase = paramArg.group(2).replaceAll("\"", "").trim();
                    else if ( paramArg.group(1).trim().equals("dbport") )
                         this.dbport = Integer.parseInt( paramArg.group(2).replaceAll("\"", "").trim() );
                    else if ( paramArg.group(1).trim().equals("dbhost") )
                         this.dbhost = paramArg.group(2).replaceAll("\"", "").trim();
          this.bgeeRoot = this.serverRoot + this.bgeeRoot;
          this.homePage = this.serverRoot + this.homePage;
}

How about simply loading the file or obtaining its input stream as a resource using ClassLoader.getResource[AsStream]? Direct file access to parts of a web app... my oh my.

Maxdb parameter file corrupt

Hello Experts,
The file system /sapdb/data was 100% full some time ago, and since then we cannot start one of the database instances anymore.
When trying to start the instance it returns:
dbmcli -U c_J2EE db_start
ERR -11608 COMMUNIC sql03_request: wrong connection state, state is 'requested'

My question is for which parameter file is the checksum not correct? Is there a way to fix this parameter file?
I have searched google and SDN but not found anything usefull so far.

Hi Rob,
there is just one parameter file for each MaxDB instance - the currently active one.
It's the file /sapdb/data/config/<SID>.
As your current file seems to be damaged, you may rename it and run a
param_restore 1
to get the last backed up version of it back.
ATTENTION : If you modified the volume configuration before the file got corrupt and no backup version of the parameter file had been created since than, restoring the old version will make your database unstartable.
The missing volume configuration parameters would then need to bee added manually again.

Lars

BCM/SWIFT payment, parameter file Receiver channel

Iu2019m using the u201CSWIFT_payload_parFile_Splitu201D Operation Mapping for the FILEACT payment transaction.
The result should be
1) payload file
2) parameter file (*.par)
This seems to work just fine. My problems starts with the receiver channel for the *.par file.
I need to know more about how to setup the modules and parameters in the "*.par" receiver channel.
Is there a configuration guide for this?
Thanks.
Frank

Hi Frank,
I am facing similar issue. I am able to generate the parameter file but the overrides section contains only one parameter "Request Type" whereas there are other parameters that are mandatory. How do I get these filled?

How to run a batch file using DAC

Gurus,
Please suggest if there is a way to run .bat files using DAC ? I suppose it can be done by configuring Execution Type as External Program. Please suggest how can this be achieved.
Thanks

I performed the same steps given in the link and ran the ex plan, but the task shows running and never completes. In my case i have created bat file for a different purpose (not for purging cache).
Is the path shown in Step 5 the default path or it can be any path ? Please suggest.
Thanks
