Scheduling in Warehouse Builder

Hi all,
There is an urgent requirement for scheduling in warehouse builder in my project. Can any one provide me the doucument for the scheduling processes in warehouse builder.

Hi
There's 2 ways I've done this:
1 Use the scheduler in OWB - you need to license the Enterprise ETL option but then it's just a case of reading the manual and setting it up. You will need to have Oracle Workflow installed which is a bit more
involved but there's lots of posts about that elsewhere on the forum.
2 Use DBMS_SCHEDULER to run your processes or mappings. Read this blog at Rittman Mead: [http://www.rittmanmead.com/2005/04/28/scheduling-an-owb-90492101-mapping-or-process-flow-using-dbms_job/]
Set up the function and then call it via a pl/sql block which can be scheduled. Very quick to get set up and doesn't need a license.
Hope that's enough to get you started
Pete

Problem in import of MetaData file in Oracle Warehouse Builder 9.2

My Problem is Related to Oracle WareHouse Builder.My system's configuration is following :-
Machine : P4
Operating System :Windows XP
ORacle : Version 9.2
Oracle WareHouse Builder 9.2
Ram :1GB
SGA Size :Approximately 650M
I have 2 MetaData files which I have to import into OWB.
First file's size is 9M.It got imported properly in 4 minutes without any error.
2nd File's Size is 30M.when
I start importing this MEtaData file.It goes upto 35% in Progress Bar.But after that it does not show any improvement.
I have left the machine running with this option upto 24 hours.
But nothing happened .It still shows only 35%.
I have checked log file/Trace file/Alert log files ,but there is no error in these files.
If any body have any solution about it,Please reply ASAP.I am stucked in this problem from last 7-8 days.
Waiting for reply
Thanks & Regards
Harvinder Singh

Thanks for your reply Igor.
As posted the OWB 10.1.0 software is running against a 9.2.0.8.0. database, so OWB still uses DBMS_JOB instead of DBMS_SCHEDULER in this database. In addition I already tested scheduling a simple job to run an OS command as suggested in note 365539.1 , and job scheduling is working fine.
There are no invalid objects in this database.

Warehouse Builder - Workflow - How to integrate both?

Hi All
I have installed Oracle Workflow Server in a SUN machine; and the Oracle
Workflow Client (Builder) in a WIN2000 machine.
In the SUN machine, I already had installed Oracle9i and OMS (Oracle
Management Server) version 9.2.0.1.0.
In the WINDOWS 2000 machine, I already had installed the Oracle9i
Client and the OWB (Oracle Warehouse Builder) version 9.0.3.35.0. Workflow Builder
was installed together with Oracle Client components.
I have a OWB (Oracle Warehouse Builder) project, and I deploy and schedule JOBS in OEM.
Now I need Oracle Workflow in order to better ordering, manage and schedule that jobs.
I'm reading the following documentation:
Oracle Workflow Guide (Release 2.6.2)
http://www.csis.gvsu.edu/GeneralInfo/Oracle/workflow.920/a95265.pdf
But I think Oracle Workflow is very complex to learn quickly.
My OWB Project has several mappings that load tables in a Data Warehouse.
When I deploy these mappings one by one, in OEM, I can execute them in OEM
and they work well.
But when I use the Workflow Deployment Wizard, I create a new Workflow
Project (Item type and Process).
But I can't Launch this process. I go to Launch Process in Workflow page
(http://<my_machine>:<port>/pls/<WorkDAD>/) but when I iniciate the project,
it stops in the OWB Standard Begin Function. It does not go ahead.
Well, when I use the Workflow Deployment Wizard inside OWB, it generates jobs that can
be viewed inside OEM (Oracle Enterprise Manager) too. But when I submit
these jobs, I can't get success too.
Can somebody help me? May you guide me in order to solve my problem, or send me some
documents or links about workflow, and it's integration with OWB and OEM?

Mark, I've already made the steps you suggested.
As it did not works yet, I will explain step by step what I've made, and the versions of the softwares:
In my Win2000 machine (development) I have installed:
- OWB version "9.0.3.33.0" and updated it to "9.0.3.35.0". (in a Oracle9iDS ORACLE_HOME).
- the OEM version "9.2.0.1.0" and Oracle Workflow Builder version "2.6.1.5.2" (in a Oracle9i ORACLE_HOME), both were installed with Oracle9i Client. Here maybe an error is the OWF Builder version, is there an newer version of it?
In a SUN SOLARIS machine (the server) we have installed:
- OMS version "9.2.0.1.0".
- OWF Server version "2.6.2" (installed with Oracle "9.0.2.1").
- Apache HTTP Server version "1.3" (also installed with Oracle "9.0.2.1").
- The repository for OWB, OEM and OWF (both 3 are different schemas in one database), and the target Warehouse (another database) are installed in this machine (SUN) too.
Well, working in my OWB project I can normaly deploy my tables, views and mappings in the target warehouse.
I can also run these jobs (generated by OWB) and they populate the Warehouse tables. It is exactly what I need, but now I need to schedule and order these jobs in workflow, you know.
When I run the Workflow Deployment Wizard (in OWB), in the "connect information for the Workflow Server" screen, I fill in with the "owf_mgr" username and its password. In the next screen I choose one or more mappings.
Next, suppose I fill in the Workflow Item Type as WIT_DW and the Workflow Process as WP_DW.
And in the last screen, I check the option "Deploy the Workflow Process into OEM".
It generates 4 jobs in OEM:
- WIT_DW_OWB_STD_BEGIN
- WIT_DW_OWB_STD_END
- WIT_DW_OWB_STD_ERROR
- WIT_DW_WP_DW
Next, I go to the Oracle Workflow Builder, open the project I've created (in the Database), make the flow, and save the project.
Next, I come back to the OEM and Submit the "WIT_DW_WP_DW" job, but it does not work. So, there's something wrong yet.
About the Workflow Queue Listener:
- Together with OWB 9.0.33.3.0 installation, there's the directory "extras\wfql_unix". I copied this directory contents inside "$ORACLE_HOME" in SUN.
- Inside OWB, in the Warehouse Module, in the "Configuration Properties DATA_WAREHOUSE" screen, I filled in the "Run
Time Directories > Queue Listener Directory" field with "/disk1/oracle/owb/bin/solaris". (It's the local where the workflowqlsnr.sh is located). And in the field "Queue Listener Host" I put the name of the SUN machine.
- But I can't run the workflowqlsnr.sh with success. Some java errors occurs. Is there anything to do or configure yet?
More questions (Please I'd very glad if you could help me):
- Is there some thing I need to configure in the Workflow Manager page?
(http://[machine]:[port]/servlets/em/oam/wfm/wfmLogin$tns_address=)
E.g., change or add Background Engine / Agent Listener / Queue Propagation / Purge.
- Is there some thing I need to configure in the Workflow home page?
(http://[machine]:[port]/pls/[WorkDAD]/wfa_html.home)
- How do I erase the Workflow Items Type in the Workflow Home Page? I runned the "workflowqclr.sh" but it didn't erase.
Thanks again

You wrote:
Adriano,
In order to manage the dependencies between the mappings using Oracle Workflow you have to do the following:
- Deploy your mappings (PL/SQL into the database; ABAP to the SAP machine; SQL loader on to the target database's file system).
- Register all mappings in OEM (that is, using the tcl scripts and the OEM register button).
- Run the Workflow deployment wizard to create the process steps in Oracle Workflow. At the end of the wizard, you can choose to create Workflow jobs to invoke the process flow.
- Use Workflow Builder to build the actual process flow (so far you have only created the process steps). Save the process.
- Either use OEM to submit the process or use the workflowqlsnr.sh to invoke the workflow queue listener manually. In order to use OEM, make sure you have set the Workflow Queue listener path correctly in the configuration of the target module.
Then... figgers crossed... it should work.
Hope this helps,
Mark.

Varrays in Warehouse Builder?

Our staging table, stored in designer, has a column which is of type varray. When we attempt to import this meta-data from designer, warehouse builder ignores those columns of type varray. Does warehouse builder support varrays? If so, how?
Thank you,
Robin

OWB does not currently support Varrays. The support for Varrays and other user defined types is tentatively scheduled for the version scheduled to be released by the towards the end of this year, code-named Paris.
At the moment, the user must define a view atop of similar tables taht maps the user data types to scalars and extract from these views.

Developer Day Hands-on Lab VM and Warehouse Builder 11.2

Hi,
I was going to try to use Warehouse Builder in the Developer Days VM environment, but I see that the directories for it are missing in the Oracle database 11.2 home. Were they removed? (know of any reason I can't just install an OWB standalone in the environment alongside the DB?)
thanks

Problem in 10g warehouse builder installation

I installed 10g warehouse builder on windows xp but when I was trying to deploy the mapping it show a error .
VLD-2771: System privileges may not allow extraction from source EMP.
please help me out of this problem

Hello,
You might build mapping where you manually configure some target/source object to have database schema and/or database link. In this case OWB warns you that mapping could fail due to lack of access privileges to that object.
But if you explicitly grant appropriate privilege to mappings owner thats OK. Mapping will work fine but your will still get this warning during validation/deployment.

A bug in the warehouse builder regarding mappings of dimensions

Hi there
I do not know if this is the right place to submit a possible bug. Anyways - here goes.
Warehouse builder client: 10.1.0.2.0
Warehouse builder repository: 10.1.0.1.0
I'm creating a dimension, having one level attributes property as a varchar2(30). Thus it has a length of 30. Now, later on I decide this was an error. I update the property to a number, deploys, and reconcile the dimension inbound in the mapping. From now on, it will give an error, since it remembers the length. And a number has a size, not a length. If I remove the dimension from the mapping, and inserts it again, the error still occurs.
By the way, I am able to reproduce this.
Anyone who has experienced this, and can blame the stupid user (me) or classify this as a bug?
Yours
Kim Andersen

Hi Igor
The "error" is actually a "warning":
Warning: VLD-1004: Column length of ASD_ASDASD is longer than the target column length.
where ASD_ASDASD is the dimension property, which I altered. It is annoying, though, to have warnings on the list, that aren't needed. And I also spent considerable time thinking that was the error in a mapping, whereas it was a stupid mistake made by me somewhere else :)
If it's a registered bug, do I get to win some branded Oracle candy?! :)
Yours
Kim

Oracle Warehouse Builder 10.1.0.4 on Windows 2008 - 64 bits

Hi Gurus.
I'm currently working with a customer who wants to migrate all their database-servers to Windows 2008 on 64-bits processors. They're using Oracle Database Enterprise Edition 10g Release 2 (10.2.0.4) and Oracle Warehouse Builder (10.1.0.4). The OWB-clients will still run on Windows XP. I've used the "Certify"-funcionality on Metalink, but it doesn't really answer my questions. (It does* ansver some of my questions, but it also raises a few new ones....)
My main question is: Can you run serverside OWB 10.1.0.4 on Enterprise Edition 10.2.0.4 for Windows 2008 64-bits?
Thanks in advance:-)
Best regards
Helge
Edited by: user613304 on Mar 6, 2009 11:10 PM

No.
Oracle Warehouse Builder version 10.1.x was desupported on 16-JUL-2007.
The desupport notice is available on Metalink (Note 376384.1).
The Warehouse Builder installation as part of the 11.1.0.7 installation should be certified, but I cannot find specifics.

Oracle warehouse builder - OWB & Oracle 10g Db on SuSE

hi folks,
i have Oracle 10g db on my laptop; and it runs great!
but since i am trying to gain skills in data warehousing and business inteligence, and after reading about oracle warehouse builder, i decided to install it on my laptop as well.
but i can not get my head around the docs for installing OWB.
is the only requirement for OWB to have an OWB_ORACLE_HOME environment variable on linux? how do we start OWB service automatically?
has anyone installed OWB with oracle on the same pc?
i would appreciate your comments.
thanks in advance,
Nicolas

Thanks Andreas,
i have printed and followed the advice on these documents.
that is how i have got confused about this OWB_ORACLE_HOME.
i would very much appreciate if could provide me with some brief description of which environment variables are needed for OWB installation.
regards,
nicolas

Oracle Applications Release 12 and Oracle Warehouse Builder 10gR2

Hi
I'm trying to deploying process flows to Workflow but I get the following error:
RPE-02054: The version of Oracle Workflow is incompatible with this Control Center. Required 2.6.3, but found 2.6.0.
Comment I found on another thread: "As far Workflow Versions with Oracle Applications is concerned, it is always 2.6.0. Workflow is not identified with its 2.6.x versioning in Oracle Applications. The 2.6.x.x versioning is purely for Workflow Standalone."
Oracle Warehouse Builder Client: 10.2.1.31
Oracle Warehouse Builder Repository: 10.2.0.1.0
Oracle Applications Release 12
Any help would be appreciated.

May be the excerpt from the other thread is a response I posted.
So, when you say, deploying process flows to Workflow, I do not understand what you are doing exactly? If this involves the Oracle Warehouse Builder you may want to explain a little more in detail since I do not understand how OWB works with Workflow. But as far as I have heard, it is Workflow standalone that is packaged with OWB but you are deploying into Oracle Applications.
What is the version of Oracle Workflow Builder you are using?
Is the steps you are doing certified to be done with Oracle Applications R12?
Thanks

Oracle Warehouse Builder 10.1.0.4

Hi All,
I am searching for Oracle Warehouse builder 10.1 release which is compatible with Oracle database 10gR2 on solaris x86 server.
I have found softwares for solaris sparc but nothing seems available for oracle 10gR2 on solaris x86.
OWB 10.1.0.3 is compatible with oracle database 10gR1 and owb 10.1.0.4 and owb 10.1.0.5 are only compatible with 10gR2.
Currently we are facing some problem with Owb 10.2.0.1 so we have to relay on owb 10.1 release.
Can any one help me to find link for downloading
OWB 10.1.0.4 or 10.1.0.5 for solaris x86 server...
Thanks

I am still unable to find any owb 10.1.x.x release for solaris x86 environment.
Do any one have any link for this??
