Problem with Starting with Oracle Warehouse Builder 11g Release 1

Question

Hello,
I want to do the training modules for owb. I installed Oracle Databes 11g2 and was attempting to load all the demo files from the learning module Starting with Oracle Warehouse Builder 11g Release 1 (http://st-curriculum.oracle.com/obe/db/11g/r1/owb/owb11g_update_getting_started_intro/lesson1/less1_start.htm)
I get an error during the running of the tcl scripts in omb plus. Everything works until the last files in which an object cannot be found. I get the following error:
OMB02923: Attribute TIMES_CAL_MONTH_CODE of group SALES of operator SALES_OUT does not exist.
The only reference i can find to this is in the load_sales.tcl file from the zip-file and i have no idea what is going wrong. As a result 5 mappings are missing in the end result (all LOAD_.. mappings)
Can anyone assist me with this problem and provide a solution?
thank you in advance

Answer 1

Additional information after looking at the tcl files and the data in OWB that was loaded.
The section where the error occurs connects two parts of a mapping, the OUTGRP1 and the SALES_OUT. THe SALES_OUT is based upon the cube Sales. This cube contains all the data that is being connected except for the 'TIMES_CAL_MONTH_CODE'. I have no idea based upon the code of the creation of the cube where they take the data from. None of the connected attributes is named specifically. The cube also contains the several groups, one of these is time. If you open the details of the group the list of input attributes lists the needed attribute but it is not listed seperatly like all the others that are connected for the mapping. Does anybody have an idea how to solve the problem based on this extra information and the code listed below.
Code connecting outgrp1 and sales_out:
OMBALTER MAPPING 'LOAD_SALES' \
ADD CONNECTION FROM ATTRIBUTE 'AMOUNT' OF GROUP 'OUTGRP1' OF OPERATOR 'AGGREGATOR' \
TO ATTRIBUTE 'AMOUNT' OF GROUP 'SALES' OF OPERATOR 'SALES_OUT'\
ADD CONNECTION FROM ATTRIBUTE 'COST' OF GROUP 'OUTGRP1' OF OPERATOR 'AGGREGATOR' \
TO ATTRIBUTE 'COST' OF GROUP 'SALES' OF OPERATOR 'SALES_OUT'\
ADD CONNECTION FROM ATTRIBUTE 'QUANTITY' OF GROUP 'OUTGRP1' OF OPERATOR 'AGGREGATOR' \
TO ATTRIBUTE 'QUANTITY' OF GROUP 'SALES' OF OPERATOR 'SALES_OUT' \
ADD CONNECTION FROM ATTRIBUTE 'CHANNEL_SOURCE_ID' OF GROUP 'OUTGRP1' OF OPERATOR 'AGGREGATOR' \
TO ATTRIBUTE 'CHANNELS_SOURCE_ID' OF GROUP 'SALES' OF OPERATOR 'SALES_OUT'\
ADD CONNECTION FROM ATTRIBUTE 'SUBCATEGORY_ID' OF GROUP 'OUTGRP1' OF OPERATOR 'AGGREGATOR' \
TO ATTRIBUTE 'PROMOTIONS_SOURCE_ID' OF GROUP 'SALES' OF OPERATOR 'SALES_OUT'\
ADD CONNECTION FROM ATTRIBUTE 'PRODUCT_ID' OF GROUP 'OUTGRP1' OF OPERATOR 'AGGREGATOR' \
TO ATTRIBUTE 'PRODUCTS_SOURCE_ID' OF GROUP 'SALES' OF OPERATOR 'SALES_OUT'\
ADD CONNECTION FROM ATTRIBUTE 'CITY_ID' OF GROUP 'OUTGRP1' OF OPERATOR 'AGGREGATOR' \
TO ATTRIBUTE 'CUSTOMERS_SOURCE_ID' OF GROUP 'SALES' OF OPERATOR 'SALES_OUT' \
ADD CONNECTION FROM ATTRIBUTE 'FINISH_MONTH' OF GROUP 'OUTGRP1' OF OPERATOR 'AGGREGATOR' \
TO ATTRIBUTE 'TIMES_CAL_MONTH_CODE' OF GROUP 'SALES' OF OPERATOR 'SALES_OUT'
Code for creating the cube:
OMBCREATE CUBE 'SALES'\
SET PROPERTIES (BUSINESS_NAME, DESCRIPTION, DEPLOYMENT_OPTIONS)\
VALUES ('Sales Cube', 'Sales Cube', 'Deploy All')
OMBALTER CUBE 'SALES' ADD MEASURE 'AMOUNT'\
SET PROPERTIES (DATATYPE,PRECISION,SCALE,BUSINESS_NAME,DESCRIPTION)\
VALUES ('NUMBER',10,2,'Sales Amount','Sales Amount')
OMBALTER CUBE 'SALES' ADD MEASURE 'QUANTITY'\
SET PROPERTIES (DATATYPE,BUSINESS_NAME,DESCRIPTION)\
VALUES ('NUMBER','Sales Quantity','Sales Quantity')
OMBALTER CUBE 'SALES' ADD MEASURE 'COST'\
SET PROPERTIES (DATATYPE,PRECISION,SCALE,BUSINESS_NAME,DESCRIPTION)\
VALUES ('NUMBER',10,2,'Sales Cost','Sales Cost')
OMBALTER CUBE 'SALES' ADD DIMENSION_USE 'TIMES'\
SET REF LEVEL 'MONTH' OF DIMENSION 'TIMES' AT POSITION "1"
OMBALTER CUBE 'SALES' ADD DIMENSION_USE 'PRODUCTS'\
SET REF LEVEL 'PRODUCT' OF DIMENSION 'PRODUCTS' AT POSITION "2"
OMBALTER CUBE 'SALES' ADD DIMENSION_USE 'CHANNELS'\
SET REF LEVEL 'CHANNEL' OF DIMENSION 'CHANNELS' AT POSITION "3"
OMBALTER CUBE 'SALES' ADD DIMENSION_USE 'CUSTOMERS'\
SET REF LEVEL 'CITY' OF DIMENSION 'CUSTOMERS' AT POSITION "4"
OMBALTER CUBE 'SALES' ADD DIMENSION_USE 'PROMOTIONS'\
SET REF LEVEL 'SUBCATEGORY' OF DIMENSION 'PROMOTIONS' AT POSITION "5"
OMBALTER CUBE 'SALES' ADD COMPOSITE_DIMENSION 'SALES_COMP'\
SET REF DIMENSIONS ('PRODUCTS','CHANNELS','CUSTOMERS','PROMOTIONS');
OMBALTER CUBE 'SALES' IMPLEMENTED BY SYSTEM
puts "SALES defined"
