Symbol "$" in objects name & OMB Plus

Hi.
I have objects (tables, cubes, dimensions) with sybmol "$" in name. When I use command, for example,
OMBRETRIEVE CUBE_TABLE 'MMM$MYCUBE' GET INDEXES I get error: can't read "MYCUBE": no such variable
What can i do to did not recognize service symbol "$" in objects name
Thanks

Did you try putting a \ before the $?
OMB+> puts $test
can't read "test": no such variable
OMB+> puts \$test
$test
OMB+>

How to stop a scheduled job using OMB*Plus ?

Hello everyone,
I use a OMB*Plus script to deploy a project in various environments. This includes scheduled jobs.
In this context, I need to stop the schedules of the previous versions to avoid a script crash.
I found the OMBSTOP command thad could do, but I need to retrieve the job ID of the schedule I want to stop. And I don't know how to get the Job ID.
I could get it from a previous launch and save it somewhere, but it wouldn't work if the schedule was manually stopped and restarted. Maybe is there a command that lists the running / scheduled jobs and their IDs? I didn't find it.
Thanks in advance for your help.
Cedric.

Frankly, I cannot see where this is available via pure OMB+, however you could back-door it if if you can figure out how to get these values from the public views (I would guess from the "Scheduling Views" section at http://download-east.oracle.com/docs/cd/B31080_01/doc/owb.102/b28225/toc.htm).
Then you could use my SQL library from OMB+ to get these values and stop the schedules before deploying. you can save this file as omb_sql_library.tcl and then just "source /path/to/omb_sql_library.tcl in your own script to make the functions available in your script.

{code}
So you would want to connect to the control center, query for scheduled jobs, stop them, and then continue on with your deployment. I assume that you also need to pause and check that an scheduled job in mid-run has time to exit before moving ahead. You could do a sleep loop querying against system tables looking for active sessions running mappings and waiting until they are all done or something if you really want to bulletproof the process.
Hope this helps,

OMB plus Creating Locations Modules And Importing the Metadata?

Hi All,
First of all I would like to thank you all of you in advance for all your time and concern. I have serious of questions and I will ask them in 3 different portions as they are slightly different.
How can I implement the steps below using OMB plus? If you could provided sample script and notation it will be highly appreciated.
-- Creating an Oracle Location for a Schema and Registering it
-- Creating an Module and relating it to the location that was created.
-- Importing the metadata for all the objects in this Schema in to this module.
For example,
You have a schema called ORACLE_SRC. I need to create the location and module for this schema and tie them each other. Then I need to import all the metadata for all the objects in this ORACLE_SRC schema. During this import all the preserve statements should be unchecked. And I need to accomplish all these using OMB plus and TCL scripting.
-- Creating an Non Oracle (SQL server 2005) Location for a database and Registering it
-- Creating an Module and relating it to the location that was created.
-- Importing the metadata for all the objects in this Schema in to this module.
For example,
You have a schema called SQLSERVER_SRC. I need to create the location and module for this schema and tie them each other. Then I need to import all the metadata for all the objects in this SQLSERVER_SRC schema. During this import all the preserve statements should be unchecked. And I need to accomplish all these using OMB plus and TCL scripting.
-- Creating an Flat File Location for a folder structure and Registering it
-- Creating an Module and relating it to the location that was created.
For example,
You have a schema called FLATFILE_SRC. I need to create the location and module for this schema and tie them each other.
Thanks again for all your help and concern!
Kind Regards,
Mike

In addition to the performance issue above I have faced an extremely more important problem. When I have used the same logic for importing Materialized views I am getting an error at the last step of the script. It is exactly the same case also for EXTERNAL_TABLE objects. TABLE and VIEW objects are fine. OMBIMPORT command throw the error message below.
PUB04201: Encountered an internal fatal error during processing of oracle module XXX_DMY_DWPROD_TST: unsupported obj type.
I would like to mention that MATERIALIZED_VIEW is the object name I took from OWB scripting Reference guide. I have tried couple other naming conventions too but it didn't work.
Strange thing is If I were to change MATERIALIZED_VIEW to TABLE it works but the materialized view gets imported into 'Tables' folder under the module.
Please help?
     #IMPORT FOR MATERIALIZED VIEWS STARTS
#pull the names of the object inthe schema
     set MVIEWLIST {}
     set sqlStr "select distinct Mview_Name from all_mviews where owner = upper('$DbNm') order by Mview_Name"
     #execute the query
     set oraRs [oracleQuery $oraConn $sqlStr]
     #Loop through the list of objects
     while {[$oraRs next]} {
          set mvwName [$oraRs getString Mview_Name]
          lappend MVIEWLIST $mvwName
     #and close the query
     $oraRs close
     set listCntr 0
     set listTotal [llength $MVIEWLIST]
     set mviewName [lindex $MVIEWLIST $listCntr]

Export mappings through OMB plus

Hi All,
We have developed 125 mappings across 10 modules. I wanted all mappings .Mdl files separately (E.g : we have mapping names are abc and xyz… we need to mdl file abc.mdl and xyz.mdl).
If I export mappings in Design Center mapping wise it will take alot of to complete/get individual scripts (.mdl)
I heard for time consuming and security wise we should use OMB plus.
Any one helps me to export mappings individually through OMB.
Is there any way to pass mapping name should export the mapping with log file?
Thanks and Regards

OK, here is a script that you will be able to adapt get you to where you want to go. Bear in mind that it uses a config file to hold some variables, and library file which I shall also attach.
This script isn't exaclty what you are asking, but it's pretty close. The reason I made this script was to be able to create a clone of an existing project through OMB+ becuase in our corporate dev environment I couldn't lock down the repository in exclusive mode to do this in a simple copy/paste. The script uses a bit of a work-around because the MDL files include full path names, meaning if you export from project A it will want to import into project A. So if I want to import them into project B I take the existing project A, rename it to the desired new name (B), do the export (on a per-unit basis as you want), then rename the existing project back to what it was (A), create the new empty project (B) and import the objects now that the naming structures will match. (whew - did you catch all that?)
Anyway, here is the script. It uses standard TCL for a lot of the file stuff (glob etc), and for cycling through the modules and objects using the TCL foreach statement. Don't worry about the functions you don't recognize like exec_omb. They are in the library (coming up next), which just has to be colocated with the script for the script to reference at runtime:

What is the diffrence between OMB plus command and OMB command

what is the diffrence between OMB plus command and OMB command?
are they both TCL command?

Hi Alena,
Welcome to SDN.

Field symbols as Table name and in where condition in a select statement

Hello All,
I have a scenario where I need to get user input on table name and old field value and new field value. Then based on user input, I need to select the record from the database. The column name for all the tables in question is different in the database, however there data type is the same and have same values.
I am not able to use a field symbol for comparing the old field value to fetch the relevant record in my where clause.
I cannnot loop through the entire table as it has 10 millilon records, please advice on how to add the where clause as field symbol as the table name is also dynamically assigned.
Here is my code:
DATA: TAB       LIKE SY-TNAME,
      TAB_COMP1 LIKE X031L-FIELDNAME,
      TAB_COMP2 LIKE X031L-FIELDNAME,
      NO_OF_FLD TYPE N.
DATA: BEGIN OF BUFFER,
        ALIGNMENT TYPE F,
        C(8000)   TYPE C,
      END OF BUFFER.
FIELD-SYMBOLS: <WA>   TYPE ANY,
              <COMP1> TYPE ANY,
              <COMP2> TYPE ANY.
GET TABLE NAME GIVEN BY USER IN LOCAL VARIABLE
TAB = TAB_NAME.
CREATE FIELD NAME BASED ON THE TABLE NAME ENTERED.
CASE TAB_NAME.
WHEN 'OIUH_RV_GL'.
      KEY FIELD
        TAB_COMP1 = 'GL_GL_SYS_NO'.
        NO_OF_FLD = 1.
WHEN 'OIUH_RV_OPSL'.
      KEY FIELD
        TAB_COMP1 = 'OPSL_GL_SYS_NO'.
        NO_OF_FLD = 1.
WHEN 'OIUH_RV_OTAX'.
      NOT THE ONLY KEY FIELD
        TAB_COMP1 = 'OTAX_GL_SYS_NO'.
        TAB_COMP2 = 'OTAX_TAX_POS_NO'.
        NO_OF_FLD = 2.
WHEN 'OIUH_RV_GTAX'.
      NOT THE ONLY KEY FIELD
        TAB_COMP1 = 'GTAX_GL_SYS_NO'.
        TAB_COMP2 = 'GTAX_TAX_POS_NO'.
        NO_OF_FLD = 2.
WHEN OTHERS.
        EXIT.
ENDCASE.
SET FIELD SYMBOL WITH APPROPRIATE TYPE TO BUFFER AREA.
ASSIGN BUFFER TO <WA> CASTING TYPE (TAB).
How to add where clause and remove the if condition in the select -- endselect
SELECT * FROM (TAB) INTO <WA>.
ASSIGN COMPONENT TAB_COMP1 OF STRUCTURE <WA> TO <COMP1>.
IF NO_OF_FLD = 2.
    ASSIGN COMPONENT TAB_COMP2 OF STRUCTURE <WA> TO <COMP2>.
ENDIF.
IF <COMP1> = OLD_SYS_NO.
    code for updating table would come here
      WRITE: 'MATCH FOUND'.
      EXIT.
ENDIF.
ENDSELECT.
Please advice. Thanks much.

1. Create single column table for holding field name depending on the table entered.
2. Take input from user: for e.g. table_name
3. Using case load single column table with required fields
   for e.g.
CASE TAB_NAME.
   WHEN 'OIUH_RV_GL'.
         Append 'GL_GL_SYS_NO' to KEY_FIELD --> KEY_FIELD is the single line internal table as mentioned in step 1.
   WHEN 'OIUH_RV_OPSL'.
         Append 'OPSL_GL_SYS_NO'.
   WHEN 'OIUH_RV_OTAX'.
         Append 'OTAX_GL_SYS_NO' to KEY_FIELD.
           APPEND 'OTAX_TAX_POS_NO' to KEY_FIELD.
   WHEN 'OIUH_RV_GTAX'.
         Append 'GTAX_GL_SYS_NO' to KEY_FIELD.
           APPEND 'OTAX_TAX_POS_NO' to KEY_FIELD.
   WHEN OTHERS.
      EXIT.
   ENDCASE.
   Now depending on the table name you have required column ready
4. Create dynamic internal table using following sudo code
   Fill the fieldcatlog using the single column field table and DD03L table, See what all columns from DD03L you want to fill in field catlog table
   loop at internal table with all the fields.
    move it to field catalog.
    append field catalog.
   endloop.
5. Pass this field catalog table to static method create_dynamic_table method
   DATA table TYPE REF TO DATA. --> data object for holding handle to dynamic internal table.
   call method cl_alv_table_create=>create_dynamic_table
   exporting
      it_fieldcatalog = fieldcatalog_tab
   importing
      ep_table = table.
6. Now assign table reference to field symbol of type table.
   ASSIGN table->* to <field-tab>.
7. Also create work area <field-wa> using refrence of table.
   create data object wa LIKE LINE OF <field-tab>.
   ASSIGN wa->* to <field-wa>.
8. Also define field symbol for field name.
   for e.g. <field_name>
4. Dynamic internal table is ready
5. Now execute the select statement as follows:
   SELECT (KEY_FIELD)
     INTO <ITAB> --> created dynamically above
      FROM (TABLE_NAME)
     WHERE (WHERE). --> WHERE is single line internal table having line type of CHAR72. So for every old value there will be one line
     Where condition is same as like we give in static way only difference in this case it will stored in internal table line wise.
    In this case you need to append all your where condition line by line in to WHERE.
5. To fill this dynamic internal table using ASSIGN COMPONENT <Comp_number> OF STRUCTURE <field-wa> TO <field-name>
   So in this case if first field of structure STRUCT1 is user_id then sudo-code will be
   loop at internal table containing list of fields into field_wa --> single column field table
       ASSIGN COMPONENT field_wa OF STRUCTURE <field-wa> TO <field>. "Here field_wa is wa area for single column internal table holding all the fieldnames.
       Now <field-name> points to user_id field. Move some value into it as nornally we do with variables.
       Move <your_new_value> to <field-name>. --> Assign new value
        or
        <field-name> = <your_new_value>.
   Endloop.
6. After completing all the fields one row will be ready in <field_wa>.
   APPEND <field_wa> to <field_tab>.
Hope this helps you.
Thanks,
Augustin.

OMBCREATE LOCATION hangs (OMB*Plus 11.1.0.7)

My try to create a file location in OMBPlus failed.
OMBCONNECT <ConnectString> USE WORKSPACE 'RUNTIME' USE MULTIPLE_USER_MODEConnected.
OMBCONNECT CONTROL_CENTER <ConnectString> USE WORKSPACE 'OWNER.RUNTIME'Control Center connected.
OMBCREATE LOCATION 'LOC_FILE' SET PROPERTIES (TYPE, ROOTPATH) VALUES ('FILE_SYSTEM', '/tmp')Even after several minutes there is no return of the last command !

Hi EdStevens,
Following the instructions in previous post, I can connect with SQL plus (the database is on the same box* as your sqlplus client); I just enter sqlplus in windows console.
In addition, i am still curious about how SQL plus connect to a remote* box. Could you shed more light on that?SQLPlus connects to a remote db the same way any other app does. After all, sqlplus is just another client app.
It's all in the connect string. So say, at a command prompt you enter
$> sqlplus scott/tiger@mydbso in the above example, 'scott' is the user, 'tiger' is the password, and 'mydb' is the tns service name. Of course, the OS passes all that to sqlplus as a command line parameter. Internally, sqlplus makes a call to the tns layer and passes it the connect information it has. TNS will take a look at the tnsnames.ora file and find an entry for 'mydb', and from there it will get the name or ip address of the host server, a port number, and a service name. That information will be passed on down the network stack for routing. (If a name was provided instead of an ip address, the OS network stack will use whatever means are at its disposal - a hosts file, a dns lookup, or whatever, to get an ip address). The request will arrive at the specified host and placed on the specified port. If everything was configured correctly, there will be an oracle listener process monitoring that port. It will pick up the request and see if it recognizes the service name. If it does, it will spawn a user server process on a different port to complete the connection, then get out of the way and continue listening for more requests.
This is how it happens most of the time. There are a lot of other variants, but that's the gist of it.
More information can be found in the fine documentation at tahiti.oracle.com.

Changing Object Names for Burst Output in Financial Reporting

I can't quite figure out how to say this so I can't even search for the proper terms to get any pertinent results. I apologize if this has been answered recently.
In FR Batch Scheduler, I am exporting the reports as PDF to a specified folder. I am bursting the report with a department, however, it does not like to save files with spaces. Instead, FR replaces any spaces in the Object name with a plus "+" sign. Is there a way to change this to a different delimiter in the .properties files? Not sure which one.
Thus:
Date is March 2nd, 2011 and Member name is "Physician Revenue"
Object Label:
<<Date(YYYYMMMDD)>>.<<MemberName()>>.IESUM
PDF Output becomes
2011Mar02.Physician+Revenue.IESUM.pdf
Desired FileName output
2011Mar02.Physician_Revenue.IESUM.pdf
Thanks
Eric

If this is the same issue I'm having, I've been working with Tech Support - they confirmed it as a bug the other day and the patch is done but it's not ready for us to have yet. They'll let me know when it's available for public use.
When bursting, the resulting PDFs have strange characters in the PDF name for many characters such as these that we use:
and probably "space", I'm not looking at it right now but yes this sounds like your issue too. Stay tuned.

Problem using OMB*Plus

Hello,
I'm getting this error when trying to connect to design repository via OMB*Plus:
"OMB01118: Could not connect to repository! PRS-00306: Internal Error: Could not undo reservation for client .
Please contact Oracle Support with the stack trace and details on how to reproduce it."
Here's the interesting part:\
1) I CAN connect to the same repos. from OWB client AND
2) I can connect to this repository from a different box using OMB*PLus.
Further, OMB*PLus itself on the box in question is not screwed up, as I can connect to repos. on other boxes!
What could the problem be?
Thanks in advance,
Alex.

I went further with investigating my scripting problem:
OMBCONNECT OWBRT92USER/[email protected]:1521:EDW USE REPOSITORY 'OWBRT92' USE MULTIPLE_USER_MODE
OMB01118: Could not connect to repository! Database connection error!
So I tried to alter pieces of my connect statement:
OMBCONNECT OWBRT92USER/[email protected]:1521:wrong USE REPOSITORY 'OWBRT92' USE MULTIPLE_USER_MODE
API0420: Error message: Io exception: Connection refused(DESCRIPTION=(TMP=)(VSNN
UM=153092608)(ERR=12514)(ERROR_STACK=(ERROR=(CODE=12514)(EMFI=4))))
API0424: Please check if the the Oracle Service Name is correct.
Obviously, connect string to database is OK !
OMBCONNECT OWBRT92USER/[email protected]:1521:EDW USE REPOSITORY 'OWBRT92' USE MULTIPLE_USER_MODE
API0420: Error message: ORA-01017: invalid username/password; logon denied
And obviously, repository user is well identified !
Since I tried using either 'SINGLE_USER_MODE', 'MULTIPLE_USER_MODE' and nothing and it brings the very laconic same OMB01118 message, I guess it has to deal with "use repository clause
I tried to alter it to see what happens:
OMBCONNECT OWBRT92USER/[email protected]:1521:EDW USE REPOSITORY 'WRONG' USE MULTIPLE_USER_MODE
...but it brings the very same OMB01118 message.
Now I tried to connect to development repository:
OMBCONNECT OWBDEV92/[email protected]:1521:EDW USE REPOSITORY 'OWBDEV92' USE MULTIPLE_USER_MODE
Connected.
Well, cool, 'means I can connect to devt. repository but I want to deploy to runtime and if I usE:
OMBDEPLOY SPECIFICATION FROM C:\TEMP\deploytest.xml
it yields:
OMB05608: Connection to Runtime Platform has not been made.
Well, what can I do ?
Documentation B12187_02_Warehouse Builder Scripting Reference.pdf (chap. 2-12, page 48) mentions a OMBCONNECT_RUNTIME command that does not exist and the example is a strict copy of OMBCONNECT (even the example does not use OMBCONNECT_RUNTIME)
OMB+> OWMBCONNECT_RUNTIME
invalid command name "OWMBCONNECT_RUNTIME"
I'm really stuck.
Does anyone else connect to a runtime repository to deploy from a xml file ?
Thanks

OMB Plus Script for creating a project

Hi,
I am totally new to this OMB Plus.
Ok. My concern over here is we have been working on some new Mappings. However now for the testing purpose these Maps would be deployed on some other schema with pure Deployment process.
So i found that while importing the Maps it encountered me an error, the reason was that it was trying to find a project which doesnot exists as its new Source. Ideally importing the Mpas would have created the project automatically but it gave me error.
Now, to overcome this i thought why not use the OMB Plus script in order to overcome this issue. So i want to creat a .tcl script which will run and will create a project and then once created i may able to import the maps or the complete project without any error.
So could you please help me with some commands, because on the internet nowhere is mentioned how to create a project or to import a non-existing project.
Please Help!!!!

Hi Experts,
I tried the above link it is really usefull.
However, when i execute the below statement i m getting an error at the step 2.
Step1:
OMBCONNECT <USER_NAME>/<PASSWORD>@<HOST NAME>:<PORT NO>:<SERVICE NAME>
Step2:
OMBCREATE PROJECT 'CPP_CPEPLUS'
Error: oracle.wh.repos.sdk.exceptions.WBException: OWB_NS_FATAL_ERROR100ORA-01403: no data found
PS: I successfully connected the Step1.
Please Help!!!!

OMB Plus to set CDC properties of Oracle Module

Hi,
Does anybody know if it is possible to set the CDC properties of an Oracle Module using OMB Plus?
I was thinking in the lines of
OMBALTER ORACLE_MODULE 'MY_CDC_MODULE' SET PROPERTIES (CDC_CODE_TEMPLATE) VALUES ('PUBLIC_PROJECT/BUILT_IN_CT/JCT_10G_CONSISTENT_MINER')
but this does not work, and I can't see any appropriate properties in the documentation.
In addition to setting the CDC template I would like to be able to choose the tables to include in CDC using a script as well. Any help would be appreciated
Roald
Edited by: roheie on Oct 12, 2010 12:17 AM

Hi Oleg,
I think I may need to clarify my question. I am no trying to alter a template mapping, I am trying to alter the properties of the Oracle Module that is the source for the CDC template mappings
What I am trying to do in the script is the same operation as you do in the Design Center when you expand Databases->Oracle and then double click your 'CDC_SOURCE_SYSTEM' (example name) module to get to the properties wizard. In there you can set 'Metadata Location', 'Data Location', 'CDC Code Template', and 'CDC tables'. The first two of these I am already setting in my script, what I am asking is how I can set the last two of these properties

Roald

OMB*Plus Command for Maintain/Add/Remove Experts in Context and Tools Menue

Hi there,
does anybody know how to maintain Experts in the Context- and Tools-Menue by OMB-Commands?
The problem ist, that I transfer Experts into another workspace via OMBEXPORT/OMBIMPORT,
and I would like to maintain the menues in my batch-script.
Can't find anything in the docu about this.
Thanks in advance.
Andreas

Hi David,
thank you very much for the quick and correct answer.
Just a few more questions about this.
Now, as I know the answer, I found it in the documentation as well.
But I allways find it very hard to find anything in the OMB*Plus Command Reference . And also with the description of the OMBMENU command: Why is there no description about the parameters in the reference? Where is the list of valid object types, and where is the description of the "QUOTED_STRING" (NEW, OPEN)?
This command is just an example for the, in my opinion, really poor quality of the OWB*Plus Command Reference.
Is there any underlaying reason for this that I do not understand, or is there a special strategy to work with this document, or do I just need more practice?
The answers to this questions would be very helpfull for me, but also for my customer, where we start to implement a quite big DWH on OWB basis.
Thanks again.
Andreas

Deployment of mappings other than OMB Plus

I have a question regarding deployment of mappings via OMB Plus. The deployment staff is facing problem in using OMB Plus. I want to ask is there anyother way to deploy mappings other than deploying them via OMB plus. I tried to generate the pl/sql of the mapping and run this sql script in the same schema of other enivornment, but it gave me following error.
ORA-01403: no data found
ORA-06512: at "REPOSITORY_SCHEMA.WB_RT_MAPAUDIT_UTIL", line 1027
ORA-06512: at "STAGING_SCHEMA.MAPPING_01", line 2664
ORA-06512: at line 4
I believe that by deploying it from OMB Plus, some audit entries are logged in Repository schema which can not be done by executing the package script simply in sqlplus.
Can anyone suggest me any other way for deployment of mappings ?

IMHO, the answer is no. The problem is OWB runtime needs in repository information about installed runnable objects,
but there is no any public information about structure of OWB repository or public API for deploying except OMBPlus and OWB Client.
Look at this threads
Problem Running Process Flow When Database Objects Deployed Outside of OWB

As you can see from second link Jwvandij (Jaap) user explored method of deployment with direct modification of OWB repository for old OWB release.

Oerr facility for OMB Plus errors

oerr facility for OMB scirpting errors
Hello,
is there a facility to troubleshoot errors encountered running OWB scripts ?
My below command failed with MMM1034 error :
OMBCREATE ORACLE_MODULE 'SRAV_MODULE' \
SET PROPERTIES (DESCRIPTION, BUSINESS_PROPERTIES) VALUES \
('Target Module for testing relational objects' , 'Rel_Objects')
MMM1034: Property BUSINESS_PROPERTIES does not exist.
===========
Now, how do I troubleshoot this error? Is there a document with all the errors listing of MMM.
I tried 'oerr MMM 1034' but it complained with "unknown facility" error.
I did not find anything in the OWB scripting doc. What other documents can I refer to learn more about OMB plus scripting ?

Patrick,
thanks for your response.
Yes, that fixed it. Is there any kind of reference book for all error listings and their fixes ? The scripting reference do not mention anything about error messages.
Now, this is my new problem. The 1st script is fine, creates the table with 1 column. When I extend the script to create 2 columns, it complains.
=====
OMBCREATE TABLE 'SRAV_TBL_CHILD' \
SET PROPERTIES (DESCRIPTION) VALUES \
('This table connects to TBL_PARENT') \
ADD COLUMN 'ID1' \
SET PROPERTIES (DATATYPE) VALUES ('NUMBER')
=====
OMBCREATE TABLE 'SRAV_TBL_CHILD' \
SET PROPERTIES (DESCRIPTION) VALUES \
('This table connects to TBL_PARENT') \
ADD COLUMN 'ID1' \
SET PROPERTIES (DATATYPE) VALUES ('NUMBER') \
ADD COLUMN 'COL2' \
SET PROPERTIES (DATATYPE , NOT_NULL, DESCRIPTION) VALUES \
('NUMBER',1,'COL2 is the second col of PK')
======
OMB00001: Encountered <EOF> at line: 1, column: 250. Was expecting one of: "("
What am I missing ? When it says, column 250 - is it the 250th character of the complete script, as it seems there is no 2nd line in the scripting - everything in the sccript is in 1 line. Is there a way we can break the line into many, so debugging becomes easy. Instead of saying Line 1 column 250 - it would be better if it says line 4 column 10.
Please advice.
Thanks

OMB01051: Path M_API must include a folder as the last step.
Could anyone tell me where i went wrong....
Thank you...

Hi
OMBCC is only for folder objects (such ad projects and modules), mappings are not folders. If you want to get mapping details you can use OMBRETRIEVE MAPPING command.
For example;
OMBRETRIEVE MAPPING 'M_API' GET TABLE OPERATORS
See doc for more details;
