Register and unregister locations using ombplus script

Question

hi
how to register and unregister the locations using ombplus scripts.
any help would be appreciated.
thanks,
Keka

Answer 1

The deployment script I have posted previously to copy a project mdl over to a new repository for local deployment includes creating a control center, making it the default for your project, creating the locations, assigning them to the control center, and registering them.
Re: importing mappings using OMBPLUS
To unregister a location, first you want to undeploy anything deployed from it to avoid dangling references int he repository, and then unregister the location.
I do that in the following drop_project script that we use to delete an old copy of the project before importing the new version.
#get db connection info
source c:\\omb\\owb_config.tcl
#get standard library
source c:\\omb\\omb_library.tcl

#  Connect to repos
# Commit anything from previous work, otherwise OMBDISCONNECT will fail out.
exec_omb OMBCOMMIT
# If already connected, disconnect first.
set print [exec_omb OMBDISCONNECT]
  # Test if message is "OMB01001: Not connected to repository." or "Disconnected."
  # any other message is a showstopper!
if [string match Disconn* $print ]  {
   log_msg LOG "Success Disconnecting from previous repository...."
} else {
   # We expect an OMB01001 error for trying to disconnect when not connected

exec_omb OMBDISCONNECTThis script uses the same config and library file given in the other post that I pointed you towards. That is where you will find the definition for exec_omb, for example which is simply a wrapper for OMB+ calls
Now, note that I don't un-deploy any tables, views, sequences etc. We use Designer as our location of record for the data model metadata so our OWB project never deploys any object metadata except for mappings. Your setup may be different, still this should point you in the right direction.
