Remote Source in OWB 10G

I have source in another Database and target in another database.I had created db link while importing the source table, but the mapping code does not refer to the db-link.
As a result the deployment fails.
What should be done?
Vishal Dutt

Good Day Vishal
I don't believe you can deploy to a target that does not have a runtime environment set up on it.
You can obviously use the DB link to get metadata and also for the actual data but when trying to load data into a table or other object a runtime environment must exist in the target database, I believe.
So, the solution is to create a runtime environment in the target database and deploy to that.
I have two (2) databases that I deploy to and I have created runtime environments in both. They are on different servers but they share the same metadata repository.
Good luck.

  • ODBC Connectivity in OWB 10g

    Hi,
    I have one of my data source as AS400. I have setup a DSN to connect to this data source. I want to know how I can connect using OWB 10g to the AS400 data source using this DSN.
    Is there any other way that I could connect to the AS400 data source using OWB 10g without using any additional drivers which involve a cost :-) ?
    Thanks for your help in advance.
    Thanks & Regards,
    Harshad Borgaonkar

    Hi Harshad,
    You can do this with the heterogeneous services.
    http://www.datadirect.com/developer/odbc/oracle_heterogeneous/index.ssp
    has a good description of what to do.
    You'll have to setup the heterogeneous service on an Oracle database on the same platform for which you have ODBC drivers for, presumably Windows.
    You should then be able to connect to this database in OWB and create a connection under Databases -> Other -> ODBC or Other.
    Cheers,

  • OWB 10g -- Can't Create Database Links for Data Source and Target

    We installed OWB 10g server components on a Unix box running Oracle 10g (R2) database. The Designer Repository is in one instance. The Runtime Repository and the Target are in another instance. The OWB client component was installed on Windows XP. We create a data source module and a target module in OWB. The data source is on another Unix box running Oracle 9i (R2) database. We try to create database links for data source module and target module, respective. But when we created and tested the DB links, the DB links were failed.
    For the database link of data source, we got the following error message:
    Testing...
    Failed.
    SQL Exception
    Repository Error:SQL Exception..
    Class Name: CacheMediator.
    Method Name: getDDEntryFromDB.
    Repository Error Message: ORA-12170: TNS:Connect timeout occurred
    For the database link of target , we got the following error message:
    Testing...
    Failed.
    API2215: Cannot create database link. Please contact Oracle Support with the stack trace and the details on how to reproduce it.
    Repository Error:SQL Exception..
    Class Name: oracle.wh.ui.integrator.common.RepositoryUtils.
    Method Name: createDBLink(String, String, String, String).
    Method Name: -1.
    Repository Error Message: java.sql.SQLException: ORA-00933: SQL command not properly ended.
    However, we could connect to the two databases (data source and target) using the OWB’s utility SQL Plus.
    Please help us to solve this problem. Thank you.

    As I said prior the database link creation should work from within the OWB client (also in 10).
    Regarding your issue when deploying, have you registered your target locations in the deployment manager and did you first deployed your target location's connector which points out to your source?
    I myself had some problems with database link creations in the past and I can't remember exactly what they were but it had something to do with
    - the use of abnormal characters in the database link name
    - long domain name used in as names.default_domain in my sqlnet.ora file
    What you can do is check the actual script created when deploying the database link so see if there's something strange and check if executing the created script manually works or not.

  • OWB 10g data sources

    Newbie question:
    Can OWB 10g use a Oracle 9i DB source that exists on another machine?. I'm assuming it would use dblinks.

    Yes, I've created a new Oracle Module ( and related Link ) to my Oracle 8i database, of course you have to configure tnsnames.ora properly.

  • 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.....

  • SCD type 2 in OWB 10g R2

    Hello,
    I am trying out the SCD type 2 in OWB 10g R2. I have no hierarchies and hence created a dimension with one level. Apart from three business attributes I have 2 mandatory attributes as "EFFECTIVE_DATE" and "EXPIRY_DATE". I have set one of the business attributes to "Trigger History".
    I have 3000 rows in the source table. There is no transformation. the data is loaded from source to this dimension directly. One business attribute is loaded using a constant.
    When I executed the mapping, all 3000 rows are populated in the target with the expiry date column having null values and current date in the effective date, which is absolutely fine. When I execute the mapping again without changing anything in the source, rows are inserted in to the target with the effective date set to the second run and the expiry date set to previous effective date. As I understand new rows should be inserted only if there is change in the data.
    Please correct me if I am wrong. Please clarify and if my understanding is right where am I doing wrong with OWB?
    Your help is greatly appreciated
    Thanks a lot on advance!
    Regards,
    Maruthi

    Hi Roelant,
    I think it is important to be aware that although Paris - 10gR2 - is not actually buggy (in this respect!), it is really quite idiosyncratic in exactly how it processes SCDs.
    I followed up on your and Mark's comments, and did an in depth analysis of this topic. It is at http://www.donnapkelly.pwp.blueyonder.co.uk/documents/OWB_10gR2_SCD.pdf
    My conclusions are perhaps of interest to anyone considering doing SCD processing with Paris.
    I'll be doing a follow-up this weekend, and publishing a sort of 'how-to-do-it' guide.
    Cheers,
    Donna

  • How to view the DDL script prior to object deployment in OWB 10g R2?

    How to view the DDL script prior to object deployment in OWB 10g R2?
    Here is what I' looking for: in 10gR2, let's say I've built dimension X, but it's not deployed yet. I've selected one of the deployment options, let's say: "Deploy to Catalog only". Now, I'd like to see a DDL script that will be executed at the deployment time. Where can I find this script? What screen? What menu?
    Thanks,
    vr

    Viewing the Scripts
    After you have generated scripts for your target objects, you can open the scripts and
    view the code. Warehouse Builder generates the following types of scripts:
    ■ DDL scripts: Creates or drops database objects.
    ■ SQL*Loader control files: Extracts and transports data from file sources.
    ■ ABAP scripts: Extracts and loads data from SAP systems.
    To view the generated scripts:
    1. From the Generation Results window, select an object in the navigation tree on the
    left of the Generation Results dialog.
    2. Select the Scripts tab on the right of this dialog.
    The Scripts tab contains a list of the generated scripts for the object you selected.
    3. Select a specific script and click the View Code button.

  • OWB 10g Help

    Hello,
    I am a newbie. I just installed OWB 10g release 2. What are the default login credential? I have tried all system/manager and stuff???
    Do we need to install the database separately? If so will oracle 8i support it?
    Thanks

    Hi user621787
    Please consult the following links in order to get all the information related to the OWB :

    http://www.oracle.com/technology/products/warehouse/htdocs/OWB_10g_faq.htm
    http://www.oracle.com/technology/documentation/warehouse.html
    On your second question the answer is yes:
    What versions of Oracle database can I use with Warehouse Builder 10g?
    For the target database, users can use Oracle 8.1.7, 9.2 and 10g with Warehouse Builder 10g. As a source, Warehouse Builder 10g supports:
    * 7.3.4 or higher if your target is a 8.1.7 database
    * 8.0 or higher if your target is a 9.2 database
    * 8.1.7.4 or higher if your target is a 10g database

  • OWB 10g Rel.2

    Hello,
    how can I integrate the Repository Browser into an Oracle Application Server. For the OWB 10g Rel.1 I find a Chapter in the Installation Guide. For Rel.2 there is no hint. Does anybody kno how to do this?
    Sven

    I also have been searching the docs for this...
    I don't want to give out the repository owner password to all that want to view execution reports. In 9.2 we deployed RAB to appserver and created the data source to hold the password.
    In 10G R2 I haven't been able to find a way to access the RAB without using the repository owner or control center owner password...
    If we can't deploy to an appserver, is there a way to give an OWB user the ability to see the reports so they can login as themselves?

  • RPE-01012 error in OWB 10g

    Hi,
    I am trying to deploy a simple mapping with both source and target definitions as relational(Oracle) tables and it is failing throwing the following error.
    RPE-01012: Cannot deploy to the target location because it is owned by a different runtime platform.
    But I am able to deploy mappings successfully when the source is a flat file and target being a relational table. I am having problem only when both the source and target are relational. I am using Oracle 10g and OWB 10g. Any help would be appreciated.
    Thanks in advance,
    Sri

    Good morning Sri,
    Does this problem occur in the same module or in different ones?
    If in different ones, maybe one of your locations has not been correctly registered?

  • OWB 10g R2 with Advanced Queues

    All,
    We are currently using 9.2.0.2.8 and make extensive use of Advance Queues in many of our mappings (we've put a lot of effort in to get this to work "real time"). We are now looking to upgrade from 9.2.0.2.8 to 10.2.0.2 - we've upgraded the mappings ok and the queues are there ok.
    Going forward it looks like AQ has been removed as a source for new mappings in OWB 10g R2. Can anyone shed any light on this - will it be included a future patch or is there a work around?
    I've looked at the OpenWorld presentations and making OWB process data "near real time" seems to be a big new feature.
    Thanks
    Craig

    I raised a Tar on metalink for this issue, here is the reply I got:
    This is what I received from Development:
    The real-time feature was pulled from OWB 10gR2 and this also included the
    AQ import which was in 10.1, I think they must have been
    tightly coupled. The workaround involves coding; the pre-Paris solution
    basically created a temporary table where messages were staged and this
    queue table used for the map; the map had pre/post map triggers for
    initializing/finalizing the queue. To use it effectively it would be best to
    create some scripts that generate the appropriate SQL scripts for the
    supporting map queue table and also the PLSQL procedures representing the
    pre/post map triggers. Similar manual coding is applicable for using CDC
    within OWB for OWB 10gR2.
    These features are planned for a future release.
    Implementation of this work-around is something you can do or Oracle Consulting can do. Support
    cannot assist in developing a solution for this.

    Hi
    As mentioned by Andreas you must not have the ORACLE_HOME environment variable set when you are doing this work. You also need to make sure that you don't have any Oracle software running, that all services (if on Windows) are shut down, and that you don't have any other environment variables that Oracle would use. Thus you probably shouldn't have CLASSPATH, PERL5LIB or QTJAVA set. What I do is rename these to ORACLE_HOME1, CLASSPATH1, PERL5LIB1 and QTJAVA1.
    The final thing I do is to alter my Path to remove all references to existing Oracle software. I save my existing path first though so that I can put it back later (funny how a backup comes in handy at times). Then after the install I look to see what path settings OWB added and I insert these into my original path, reinstating any environment variables that have not been replaced by OWB.
    I got to tell you that I find it a pain in the neck that some Oracle software won't install when they detect another Oracle product on the same machine. When you think about it, how head shakingly, frustrating is that in the modern world? Personally I, and my clients, are crying out to see these elementary interactions overcome once and for all.
    Things are certainly improving but boy its exasperating when one product interferes with another from the same vendor.
    Does this help?
    Regards
    Michael

    1. Read data from view (~ 900,000 rows)
    2. Sort data using sorter operation.
    Sorter operation ORDER_NUMBER, DATE_PROCESS, ORDER_STATUS asc (data are not in a table)
