Post-upgrade tasks for OWB 10g Release 2

Hi,
we're planning to upgrade from OWB 10.1.0.2 to 10.2.x.
Now, I'm trying to get a clear view on what will be the "post-upgrade" tasks, in terms of manual adaptations, corrections, etc. to get everything back up and running after the upgrade ...
E.g. : by means of test al already exported a dimension, and imported it in the 10.2 repository ... Turned out that in the pre-10.2 version, there were no validation problems, but as from 10.2 (although the upgrade and import were successful), I got 19 warnings and 2 errors ... because each level needs to have a business or surrogate key ...
It' s things like that I'm especially interested in, in order to determine the workload after the upgrade ...
So, feel free to share your experiences ; I'm looking forward to read them!
Thanks!
Grtz.

Here are some from my list. I stopped maintaining it a while ago, we have lots more where this came from. Some of it also apply to older versions of OWB.
Key lookup     You are to choose input and output attributes BEFORE being able to choose loookup table, all in a time consuming wizard
Expressions     Copy and paste into expression editor, validation fails for expressions using lowercase (such as "upper" or "substr")
Renaming attributes     Not possible anymore, you need to open details
Adding a table component     You must browse in a tree structure (time consuming), not search functionality anymore
Import     Import converting from 9.2 hangs after 15% in about 10% of all imports
Import     Some mappings are not possible to import, a total rewrite is necessary
Deployment     You can only deploy about 5-10 times before you need to restart OWB
Memory leak     If something goes wrong in OWB, memory is never cleared - JAWAW.exe needs to be removed manually from memory
Import     Importing mappings one by one (as this is sometimes needed due to OWB), the last directory used is OF COURSE not default when importing the next time
OWB GUI / mapping editor     When working with components in the mapping editor, an object hidden behind the object you are actually working with is selected prior to the object in visual focus to the user
BUG!     Urgent: CASE - wrong generated Code
ANSI JOINS     Remove ANSI-SQL from mapping configuration, otherwise (+) outer joins will not work
Transformations     Not possible to enter a transformation such as "sysdate", you must find it in a huge tree structure list (no search available)

  • Experts VS Process Flows on OWB 10g Release 2 (Paris)

    I was looking at the the new features list for OWB 10g Release 2 (Paris), and I notices the new feature called Experts. Does anyone have any insight into when an Expert would be used instead of a Process Flow? It doesn't look like Process Flows are going away, so I was trying to get a grasp of the use for Experts.
    From Here:
    http://www.oracle.com/technology/products/warehouse/htdocs/owb10gr2%20new%20features.htm
    Experts. Experts are solutions that enable advanced users to design solutions that simplify routine or complex tasks that end users perform in Warehouse Builder. You can design these solutions in the Expert Editor which resembles the Process Flow Editor and shares many of the same commands and navigational tools.

    Hi,
    Just to start with the Experts capabilities, they can be used for designing schema objects.......I tried with an expert for sampling the source files, creating External Tables on top of it....validating and deploying..........itz very interesting to work with.........I am unable to see the practical use of this for end users.....
    where as we all know, the PF can only be for executing the deployed objects.....

  • New licensing for OWB 10g R2 (Paris)

    Hi,
    Does anyone know how much the new licenses (per DB server CPU) for OWB 10g R2 (Paris) cost?
    Is it correct that the features for the modeling of SCD 1 and 2 are not included in the basic "Core ETL Features"?
    If I'm using the the SCD 2 features to develop the OWB mappings do I also need to license the "Enterprise ETL" for the production server?
    Related to the previous question: for the production DB where I only need the runtime part of the repository is it required to license any options?
    Regards
    Maurice
    PS: 2 links related to these questions:
    http://www.rittman.net/archives/2006/05/owb_10g_release_2_now_availabl.html
    http://www.oracle.com/technology/products/warehouse/htdocs/owb_10gr2_faq.htm#HowisOWBPackaged

    Maurice, not sure what to say. If you've been using OWB, then you don't lose any functionality going to the new version, and it will be "free". You simply won't get any of the new functionality (all of the old functionality is included in the "core" features)
    However, as I said in the other post, I hope Oracle reconsiders the SCD 1 / 2 / 3 licensing. To me, SCD type 2 are not "enterprise level" functionality - that is base level functionality for ANY data mart or data warehouse. I have no problems with paying for options the other ETL vendors are charging for (data quality comes to mind...), but if we deploy a large DW on a 32 processor box, paying for the Oracle licenses AND an addition $300,000+ for OWB functionality just to simplify SCD type 2, seems WAY overkill. Actually, in our project, we had pretty much settled on Oracle as the RDBMS for our DW, but if OWB is up in the air, we will probably open this up for an RFQ.

  • When will the new OWB 10g release 2 be available?

    HI...
    I would like to know if there is a timetable to
    download in the OTN site about the new version of OWB 10g release 2..
    I saw the the new version of this tool last year in the Oracle Open World and I am very curious to do some test and implement in our production environment.
    We are using OWB 10.1.0.2..
    Thanks

    Good morning Tracy,
    According to Oracle OWB is going to be part of Oracle Business Intelligence... at some stage in the future.
    Right now BI10g consists of the following (check link at http://www.oracle.com/technology/software/index.html):
    Oracle Business Intelligence
    ... Oracle Business Intelligence Discoverer
    ... Oracle HTTP Server
    ... Oracle Application Server Containers for J2EE (OC4J)
    ... Oracle Enterprise Manager 10g Application Server Control
    ... Oracle Application Server Web Cache
    No OWB10gR2 as you can see.
    Metalink rang me earlier this week for some TAR, and they were hoping to see OWB10gR2 released this year... this implies that we have to count ourselves lucky if that means december. At the moment they're working hard to get a stable product out, guess there are more serious bugs to solve than they had anticipated on previously.
    Cheers, Patrick

  • OWB 10g Release 2 from 32 bit to 64 bit on Linux

    Hi guys,
    I have a client who is planning to migrate their Linux server from 32 bit to 64 bit and migrate their Oracle database from 10.2.0.3 from 32 bit server to 10.2.0.3 from 64 bit server.
    We have OWB 10g Release 2 (10.2.0.3) installed in the 32 bit server.
    Our DBA is planning to move the entire database to the new server including the OWB repositories.
    My question is,
    Will the following work?
    1. Install the OWB 10g Release 2 (10.2.0.3 or 10.2.0.4) 64 bit in the new 64 bit Linux 64 bit server
    2. Remove all the OWB repository user schemas & roles from the database where OWB is installed
    3. Install the OWB repository in the new 64 bit server
    4. Import the .mdl backup of the project from existing OWB 32 bit to the new OWB 64 bit server
    5. Configure the project with the new server
    OR
    Since our DBA is planning to move the entire database to the new server including the OWB repositories
    1. Install the OWB 10g Release 2 (10.2.0.3) 64 bit in the new 64 bit Linux 64 bit server
    Will I be able to access my repository that is migrated from the 32 bit server (avoiding the installation of OWB repository and importing the project and configuring the whole project in the new server) ?
    Please someone shed some light on this. Your help is appreciated
    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).

  • Will OWB 10g Release 2 (10.2.0.3) for Vista 32bit work 100% on XP Pro

    All,
    I have a problem with installing Oracle Warehouse Builder 10g Release 2 (10.2.0.1), after the install i cannot run the design center. So I removed this software and installed the newest version (see title). But there is "Vista 32bit" in the download title. Now I installed this and it seems to be working but I don't want to see my future work become invalid after a while. I can't find in the documentation anything about this new version working on XP.
    Anyone who can help me out pls.

For oracle, you should use the correct version for the right o/s only.
    Thank you for info. Can I get a XP version of 10.2.0.3 without having to patch from previous version?AFAIK, I don't think its possible. You have to install 10201 and than apply the patch to it to make it 10203.

  • A decent documentation for OWB 10g R2

    Hi All,
    Is there any place where there is a proper documentation of the above release? OWB 10g R1 has documentation in OTN site but is there any specific OWB 10g r2 documentation in OTN ??
    Regards
    -AP

    Hi,
    the level of the docs is not consistent: sometimes you'll find truly good explanations, in other places there is not more than a step by step description of trivial operations. But the real desaster is the Scripting manual. It looks generated by a machine and never formatted by a human being. The examples are poor. Each OMB script or expert is a new expedition to unknown places. You must be really good in guessing and trying. But it has one advantage. When your expert succeeds finally, you'll feel good and happy ...
    I hope that an expert will be found who will give us a more usable reference in order to promote this powerful tool.

  • NTLM module for oracle 10g Release 2 Apache on Windows 2003

    Hi,
    I want to implement autologon on my HTML DB application depending on the Windows username. I understand that I can implement this feature with the Apache module modntlm.
    Is there anyone who has got this working on Windows 2003 Server in combination with Oracle 10g Release 2 Apache on Windows 2003.
    Which version NTLM software do I need and where can I download the version for Windows 2003 server?

    Nothing fantastic, we have the username/id passed in from the linking application (company intranet) as part of the URL. The process is invisible to the end-user. Possibly not ideal if you want really tight security/authentication, but it was sufficient for our needs, and the problems we had previously where users were unable to use the application have disappeared. I'd like to know the reasons for the problems we had with mod_ntlm (running on AIX), but it was more important to
    me to deliver a working app than to spend time resolving probelms in 3rd party software.
    Cheers.
