Steps to change location credentials in owb 10G

Hi,
Can you please let me know the steps to follow when trying to update location credentials in OWB 10G. after updating the schema and password I re-registered the location but I dont see the DB link updated in the target schema.
Also can you please let me know where I can get the updatelocation.sql and how to use it to update the location info.

You will have to redeploy the connector in order to have the database link defined with the new credentials. The credentials in the database link are defined when it is deployed/created.
Cheers
David

OWB 9.0.3 migration to OWB 10G R2

Hi All,
I am in the process of doing the Migration of OWB 9.0.3 migration to OWB 10G R2, I am doing it for the first time.
is there any manual or can any one help me with the steps to achieve the migration.
thanks.

Hi there. I am currently going from 9.03 to 10.1.0.5.
You cant go 9.03 to 10.2.03 (paris or 11G) the leap is too large. However you can go straight from 9.03 to 10.1.0.5.
I exported 9.03 mdl's and imported them into 10.1.0.5 the mdl updater kicked in and upgraded the 9.03 mdls which i then imported into 10.1.0.5.
then after adjusting the repos to use the locations (they dont exist in 9.03). register the locations in the runtimes etc. then you can generate and deploy and it all should work just fine.
Now I am unable to go straight to 10.2 (due to the testing i have to complete) but I did test the mdl files that were created by the upgrade process from 9.03 to get into 10.1 and they in turn can be imported upgraded into 10.2 so you can hop versions if it makes sense for you.
It does involve some setup. I tend to export import OWB when doing upgrades. So installing seperate OWB repositories is what I do (as in owb design repos 9.03 in one database instance and 10.1 in another ) that way you dont break /loose your 9.03.
if you can clone your target 9.03 target runtime database and simply use the target installer in 10.1 to install the 10.1 runtime into your current target schema's. plus you can do some parallel testing. Be prepared 9.03 is faster than 10.xx its runtime engine is simply faster. there is overhead in all the extra runtime logging.
Plus the way you release code will most likely change (ok it has too) you cant run/release/deploy 10.xx maps without using the OWB deployment framework either UI or scripting via OMB Plus.
Have Fun

Function usage in OWB 10g Mapping

Hi,
I'm a newbie of OWB 10g.
I do have in flat file (.csv) a column with value as "ABC 1.2", "ABC 2.0", "XYZ 2.1", "XYZ 3.0" etc.
I wanted this value to placed to the oracle database table as such & as truncated value as "ABC" for both version of ABC & as "XYZ" for versions of XYZ.
I have mapped in the mapping editor where the database table has 2 columns. One to place the data from flat file as such & the other column to be the truncated or transformed value.
I have mapped from flat file to the first column as such & for the value to the second column i do have a function which does the process of transformation.
I validated, Generated, Deployed & all are successful. On execution of the deployed mapping
I face a problem as :
Record 7: Rejected - Error on table "username"."tablename", column "second column name".
Column not found before end of logical record (use TRAILING NULLCOLS)
Since i have 256 records, to all those i do face the same situation for all records.
Plz do enlighten me how to go about to place the data from flat file to the database table column as the same value & the transformed value in another column in database table.
Thx in Advance.

Patrick is correct. i have earlier assumed you had the procedure created and was just attempting to executing a mapping from it.
by the way, the "instruction" to use this script is embedded in the run_my_owb_stuff.sql file itself (i will cut and paste it here)
[BEGIN EXTRACT]
How to use install and use function:
- Logon to runtime repository owner and run this script. This creates a function run_my_owb_stuff
- grant execute to run_my_owb_stuff to <runtime access user>
- connect as runtime access user and run something along the lines of:
begin
dbms_output.put_line('result '
|| to_char(<runtime repository owner>.run_my_owb_stuff( '<runtime repository owner>'
, '<target location>'
, '<type: PLSQL, PROCESS or SQL_LOADER>'
, '<mapping or process name>'
, '<system parameters>'
, '<custom parameters>'
end ;
Because of the defaults you can leave any input parameters into
run_my_owb_stuff empty, such as p_system_parameters and
p_custom_parameters. For an implementation, consider changing the
defaults (such as p_repos_owner) to make live easier. Also, consider
taking out the dbms_output.put_line messages in a production situation.
To run this script, a user has to have been granted roles WB_R_<runtime
repos owner> and WB_U_<runtime repos owner>. The runtime access user
will have these roles granted.

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).

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

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 OWBs 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.

How to change SGA and PGA in 10g r2 RAC

Hi,
How to change SGA and PGA in 10g r2 RAC, its Linux.

Hi,
Here is the way i followed to change SGA and PGA in RAC.
Action Plan to change the memory parameter in the production environment(5/21/2010)
Note:
=====
Practice should be done in the DEV/TST environment before moving to Production;
Although the procedure could be applied in the testing environment the changing values
used in the testing environment should be modified since RAM number are not the
same between the testing servers and production servers.
1.     Make changes to these two parameters in one of
     the prod instance, e.g. PROD1
     ====================================================
     login as sysdba on sqlplus
Change :
alter system set sga_target=28G scope=spfile sid='*';
Change :
alter system set pga_aggregate_target=4G scope =spfile sid='*';
     sql>alter system set pga_aggregate_target=4G scope=both;
     sql>show parameter pga_aggregate_target;
          -- should see the altered number on both instances
Change:
sql>alter system set sga_max_size=28G scope=spfile sid='*';
sql>alter system set sga_max_size=28G scope=spfile ;
sql>alter system set sga_target=28G scope=spfile;
3.     shutdown database PROD (two instances should be shut down)
     $>srvctl stop database -d PROD
     $>. /$ORA_CRS_HOME/bin/crs_stat -- to check for the database status
4.     bring up database PROD (two instance should be brought up)
     $>srvctl START database -d PROD
     $>. /$ORA_CRS_HOME/bin/crs_stat -- to check for the database status
     login into both instances as sysdba to check
     sql>show parameter pga_aggregate_target
     sql>show parameter sga_max_size
          -- should see the altered number still there in both instances
          -- from step 1
     -- After confirming above two parameters are altered on both instances,
     -- then issue the syntax below in one instance
5)     check everything is ok

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.

Thomas

CDC and OWB 10g R2 installation error

Hi,
We are using CDC (Autolog) and OWB 10g R2 for the warehouse. We have CDC installed and up and running on the database. I then try to install the OWB 10g R2 repository using OMBPlus and it fails with this error message:
OWB repository installtion failed. The Warehouse Builder repository owner instal
lation failed on user OWBRO.
java.sql.SQLException: ORA-00604: error occurred at recursive SQL level 1
ORA-29549: class SOME.SYSTEM CLASS has changed, Java session state cleared
ORA-06512: at "SYS.DBMS_CDC_IPUBLISH", line 12
ORA-06512: at line 5
I cannot find any documentation related to this. Has anyone attempted this and has this worked?
Thanks
K

I figured out that the OWBRT_SYS had been created incorrectly. When I dropped the user and recreated the repository, this problem disappeared.

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: how control files are generated?

We are using OWB 10g within a 10g Database. We want to know how control files are generated by OWB in the file system. The reason we need to know is because our DBAs do not want to create directory objects pointing to NAS devices, their policy states that all directory objects should be on SAN shares. We rather use NAS shares since it simplifies our batch (too long to explain here). OWB has the "CREATE ANY DIRECTORY" privilege granted. Is it using this privilege to create a directory object for the path we specify the control file in the mapping or is it writing directly to this path? We checked the directory objects created (SELECT * FROM DBA_DIRECTORIES) after deploying a control file and it didn't seem to have created any new ones. Anyone knows how OWB creates these control files?

Yes, indeed that's what we were after. We basically wanted to be sure we are not breaking an internal policy that says that "Oracle directory objects can not be located on NAS shares". The reasoning behind this policy is that NAS shares are not deemed highly available or high I/O devices hence our Oracle DBAs will not allow us to create any Oracle directory objects in NAS shares. The policy states that all database data should be stored in SAN shares which are directly attached to the servers and are therefore high I/O devices. It is arguable if the OWB data we want to load is really part of a database, we believe it is not. There are other implications in our environment about using NAS instead of SAN (NAS can run in active-active mode across different data centres, whereas SAN requires replication since it doesn't usually work well in an active-active mode across different data centres). So based on your answer we should be fine since OWB reads and writes directly to the files without using Oracle Directory Objects which supports our theory that these are not DB specific files and are only "OWB App" files which can then sit on a NAS without breaking the above stated policy.

Simple OWB 10g R2 Example for Type 2 Dimensions Needed

Hello,
Does someone have a simple example of a Type 2 dimension on OWB 10g R2? That I can run and test. The ideal would be an MDL file that includes all the elements, so I only have to install and run it?
I have been trying to make this work for far too long now. All of this was not a problem in OWB 9i but I'm having trouble getting OWB 10g R2 to work like I'm used to.
Thanks

FYI, with my configuration of having separate database instances for target and OWB repository I ran into a bit of an issue when deploying a map:
'RPE-01012: Cannot deploy PL/SQL maps to the target schema because it is not owned by the Control Center' error.
Even though I could do deploy tables, views, MVs et all but for some reason I couldn't deploy my mapping. Solution to get around this problem is to:
* create new OWB repository in the target environment using the REPOSITORY ASSISTANT
* add target schema as an OWB user using OWBREPowner (Global Explorer panel/Security/Users), check user as 'target schema' option
* start control center service against the target warehouse using target schema credentials
* delete previously created separate dedicated OWB repository
Now mappings can be deployed successfully.
My only concern now is if this is a valid legit configuration? I would hate to run into problems in the future once my environment becomes bigger.
What are your thoughts on this?

Owb 10g R2

I’m new to owb and I’m using owb 10g R2. I need to create a map to return a set of values based on the latest process’s date.
The map reads data from a view source and then using sorter operation to sort data by ORDER_NUMBER, DATE_PROCESS, ORDER_STATUS asc
ORDER_NUMBER     DATE_PROCESS     ORDER_STATUS
A00378091          06/23/2011               1
A00378091          06/25/2011               3
A00378091          07/15/2011               5
A00447816          05/17/2011               3
A00447816          05/20/2011               5
A00447816          06/25/2011               4
I use the aggregator group by order_number to get the max(date_process) but I don’t know how to get a value of order_status.
How do I crate a map to return the value as
A00378091          07/15/2011               5
A00447816          06/25/2011               4
I very appreciate your help, thanks.

Thanks Igor. I still don’t know how to do it. I’m sorry that I’m not clear that the set of data are not in a table yet.
The following is a list of steps in the map.
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)
A00378091      06/23/2011      1
A00378091      06/25/2011      3
A00378091      07/15/2011      5
A00447816      05/17/2011      3
A00447816      05/20/2011      5
A00447816      06/25/2011      4
3. Aggregator group by order_number to get the max(date_process). I don’t know what expression on mrp_order_status to get the latest value based on max(date_process). I can’t use min/max(order_status) because it gave me a wrong order_status’s value
4. table (loading type Update/Insert)
order_number is a key on a table and I need to get the latest data of date_process and order_status from the sorter (or aggregator) to update/insert into a table. So the data in a table will contain
A00378091      07/15/2011      5
A00447816      06/25/2011      4
I never use table operator, I try to find the site so I can learn more about it. Would you please explain step by step? I very appreciate your help.

Accessing OWB 10g Respository through OWB 11g Client

We have an Oracle Database 10.2, we installed OWB 10.2 and created a repository.
I want to install OWB 11g Client and use the existing repository. Is this Compatable.
Thanks in advance for your suggessions.

No, there were substantial repository changes in OWB 11g, you cannot connect an OWB 11g client with an OWB 10g repository - but you can host an OWB 11g repository in a 10g database though.
