Synchronize RDBMS source view with ODI Interface

Hello ODI expert(s),
I'm new to ODI & hence experimenting.
I'm trying to load metadata from a SQL Server view to Oracle's Hyperion Planning.
My question is w.r.t source.
I've 6 columns in my source view. All 6 were mapped to the appropriate target fields. Suppose a column is removed from Source view. Is there any option in ODI to synchronize i.e. exclude the (now)unwanted column(& hence mapping) from the ODI Interface, I initially created?
Awaiting one of your responses.

I can relate to your issue.
ODI does this to me all the time.
The Operator logs show all greens and show no error, but no data makes its way to the Target.
I usually remove one mapping at a time and re-run the Interface. That helps me pin-point what might be the issue. Very frustrating.

Basic Issue with ODI interface

Hi All,
I have a very strange problem.
I am coding my second interface in ODI.
Its very simple
Joining 4 tables ,with one filter and connect it with the target table.
The interface when executed runs fine,without any error.
But the target table doesn't get populated.
So when i check the ODI interface at every step via the Operator navigator,I get no error at any step.
step1) drop a table (this comes as a warning as no table exists)
step2) create a view(this step suceeds ,but when i check the database the view is not created)
STEP 2 is a real issue and I can't understand as to why this view is not
getting created in database,when the step completes successfully
Pls can someone suggest where should i look for ?

Updating a report source/viewer with new filename

I posted earlier about this problem but now can be more specific so thought a re-post was in order. I am trying to setup an asp.net website using .NET 2.0 and Crystal Reports 2008. Rather than having a seperate page for each possible report with a viewer on it I decided to setup a page and pass it session variables telling it what file name to set the report source to and the variables to pass to it. This worked fine in crystal reports basic (the one with visual studio).
So I have on the page CrystalViewer (CrystalReportViewer) with display page true seperate pages true and crystalRepSource (CrystalReportSource) with cache enabled and viewstate enabled as far as I know cache is required for the paging to work.
In my form code behind file i have something like:
protected void Page_Load(object sender, EventArgs e) {
CrystalRepSource.Report.FileName = SessionHandler.RunReport;
switch (report)
if (PreviousPage != null || paramHasChanged)
case @"~\CollegeReports\CR_Course_Review.rpt":
                //setup report in viewer with correct db logon
                SetupLogonInfo(CrystalRepSource);
                //add parameters
                CrystalRepSource.ReportDocument.SetParameterValue("@year", year);
                CrystalRepSource.ReportDocument.SetParameterValue("@school", school);
                CrystalRepSource.ReportDocument.SetParameterValue("@division", division);
                CrystalRepSource.ReportDocument.SetParameterValue("@progArea", progArea);
                CrystalRepSource.ReportDocument.SetParameterValue("@type", SessionHandler.record_type);
                CrystalRepSource.ReportDocument.SetParameterValue("@filterText", "School = \'" + school +
                                                        "\' Division = \'" + division
                                                        + "\' Programme Area = \'" + progArea
                                                        + "\' Record Type = \'" + SessionHandler.record_type_text + "\'");
                break;
            case @"~\CollegeReports\CR_WBL_Attendance_Sheets.rpt":
                //setup report in viewer with correct db logon
                SetupLogonInfo(CrystalRepSource);
                //add parameters
                CrystalRepSource.ReportDocument.SetParameterValue("@year", year);
                CrystalRepSource.ReportDocument.SetParameterValue("@school", school);
                CrystalRepSource.ReportDocument.SetParameterValue("@division", division);
                CrystalRepSource.ReportDocument.SetParameterValue("@progArea", progArea);
                CrystalRepSource.ReportDocument.SetParameterValue("@attendanceEndDate", LastDayOfMonth(SessionHandler.WBL_EndDate).ToString());
                break;
The case statement actually has about 20 reports in it it is basically used to send the appropriate parameter set to the report and setup the database logon info, the if statement around the case checks if the load is a postback (to allow paging of the report) if it is it won't run the code or if a parameter has changed if one has it will rerun the code. As I said this worked in CR basic.
Unfortunately what now seems to happen is the first time I run a report it works fine, if I then leave the page and run a report requiring different parameters it will give me the parameter error. However if instead I run a report requiring the same parameters it will show the original report document as if it is coming from cache I think. The case becomes a bit more bizarre later as I have created the ability to change a parameter without leaving the report page this actually does a postback and changes the report to the proper one with the proper data.
So it seems to me the code to change report is working first time and for postback but not for re-entering the page. I am really stuck been working on this for hours any ideas.

ok i have found the solution after a quite a while so anyone else getting this I was using the line:
CrystalRepSource.Report.FileName = SessionHandler.RunReport;
I changed it to:
CrystalRepSource.ReportDocument.Load(Server.MapPath(ReportName));
This clears any existing report and loads the correct one seems to have solved all my problems.

Connecting ERPi with ODI Interface

Hi Gurus,
Till now I was able to connect to Oracle EBS but, now my query is whether I can connect to ODI Interface through ERPi instead of connecting directly to EBS.
If its possible how can I achieve this please let me know I am eager to learn this.
Thanks

If you are just wanting FDM to pull the source data from a table in a SQL Server database, you would need to write a SQL integration Script in FDM To pull data from the database table. The FDM Administrator Guide has a simple example of this.

Synchronize Counter card with CAN interface card.

How can I synchronize Counter/Timer board (6602) with CAN interface board (PXI-8464/2) using RTSI bus or PXI star bus?

There are example programs that install with the driver. You can take a CAN RTSI example and combine it with a DAQ RTSI example. If you are using LabVIEW, go to Help>>Examples. If you are using CVI, go to C:\Program Files\National Instruments\MeasurementStudio\CVI\samples\nican. If you are using C or VB, go to C:\Program Files\National Instruments\NI-CAN.
Also see the user manual that gets installed with NI-CAN into C:\Program Files\National Instruments\NI-CAN\Documentation

ODI - Create a Target Table Definition from a source View defination

Hi ,
I have source as Oracle View with bunch of fields and want to create target table in MSSQL server by using oracle view. can you please guide me that how i can build with help of ODI.
Thanks in advance.
Regards,
Bhavik
Edited by: user629194 on Nov 6, 2009 10:46 AM

Hi,
Use a small trick...
Duplicate the Oracle view (right-click on it), edit and change from view to table.
Drag and drop the duplicate into the MS SQL Server model
In the interface, change the "Create target Option" to yes at IKM Options...
That is all!
Works?

Error when adding multiple source data stores in ODI Interface

I am trying to create an ODI Interface with couple of source tables and one target table. Say for example I am using the following data structure in my target table.
Order (Target Table)
order id
product id
customer id
address id
warehouse id
shipment id
for the above target table i need to extract data from each of the following source tables.
orderitem
product
customer
address
warehouse
shipment
Total 6 source tables i need to join however and load data for target table.
When I drag source data stores in to ODI interface mapping tab It throws the following Null Pointer Error. Due to this error I am not able to map target table with all the source tables.
Please suggest me what could be the reason for the error.

Hello,
does somebody have a solution for this issue?
I am new to ODI and have the same problem. I am using ODI Designer Standalone Edition Version 11.1.1.
Maybe there is something wrong with my configuration, maybe I am doing something wrong while creating the mapping graphically. It does not help to save and re-open the mapping. Also it does not help to re-reverse engineer the objects. Also it does not seem to have something to do with the number of objects joined (some objects seem to always cause this error, with some the error starts when there are 10 or more objects on the map before they are added).
One possible workaround i have found is to do it all on the quick-edit tab by one by one creating the joins and mappings (+source or lookup joins and filter mapping). It seems to work with my configuration, but drag&drop functionality on the mapping tab would sometimes be faster, more convenient and just more human like.

Integrate source db with target EBS database using ODI

Hi
We have a requirement to integrate our legacy systems to Oracle E-business suite 12.1.1 database 10g. We have several MS-SQL and oracle databases that has to be integrate with our Oracle EBS database. Oracle says to have separate schema for Master and Work repository, and also create a new schema when connecting to the data store and use the same schema as a WORK SCHEMA when creating a physical schema. My question is:
1) What are all the privileges to be assigned to the new schema used as a WORK SCHEMA? Oracle EBS holds many FND schemas and APPS uses the synonyms of all the tables. So what oracle recommends when using EBS with ODI?
2) Do we need to create a separate work schema for each and every SOURCE Database as well?
3) We are not using separate oracle database for ODI we will be creating schemas in PROD to hold ODI data. Our management wants the the odi schema to hold the staging data. Can we use the the same Work schema mentioned in the first point as a staging area as well?
Thank you
Regards
Shahrukh Yasin

Hi Shahrukh ,
There are two ways.(1st one is recommended)
1.You can make source schema in one database and target schema, work schema in another database.
For source schema only read only access privilege.
You must have complete ownership in work schema and target schema(Minimum insert,update,delete).
Here you have to always create one work schema in every target database
2.if all schema present in 3 different database,you also need above criteria.
But here you don't have to create work schema always.its fixed.
This process takes much time for transformation and not an efficient way.

ODI Interface Icon with I or U

Can anyone please explain what is the difference between ODI interface icons with an I or U ?

It's part of ODI's internal version control. 'I' means than the object has been inserted and 'U' means that the object has been updated since the last version.

How I can set ORG_ID context (for Oracle Apps Views) in ODI designer tool?

Hi All,
I want to get data from apps views (like OE_ORDER_HEADER_V) into our data warehouse detination table using ‘Oracle Data Integrator’ tool.
The issue is that when I reverse Oracle Table or Synonym directly, everything works fine i.e. after 'Interface' execution, I can see how many rows imported into destination table from this source Oracle table/synonym.
But when I use Apps view as a source then 'Interface' executes fine with ‘no error’ but NO rows imports to the destination table.
I believe, the only difference is that I am not able to set Org_Id before executing ODI interface so it is not picking the data.
Please let me know the steps/instructions to set org_id context on apps view then reverse in ODI Designer tool.
Please note that I can set org_id using SQLPlus successfully as given below (and see data using the same Apps view). What to do in ODI designer tool to achieve similar data:
begin
fnd_global.apps_initialize(0, 21623, 660);
mo_global.init('ONT');
end;
-- connect using apps/apps at Vision SQLPlus
-- User_Id -> 0 (<-- SYSADMIN )
-- Responsibility_Id-> 21623 (<-- Order Management Super User )
-- Application_id -> 660 (<-- ONT )
-- select count(*) from oe_order_headers_v where rownum < = 100
I would appreciate your quick help in this.
Thanks in advance.

Set org context in 11i:
===============
The SQL command to set the ORG_ID prior to running a script is:
SQL> execute dbms_application_info.set_client_info(&org_id);
Enter the org_id when prompted.
If using Toad
Begin
fnd_client_info.set_org_context(&org_id);
End;
Set org context in R12
================
The SQL command to set the ORG_ID prior to running a script is:
SQL> exec mo_global.init('AR');
exec mo_global.set_policy_context('S','&org_id');
Enter the org_id when prompted.
The procedure - mo_global.set_policy_context has two parameters
p_access_mode & p_org_id
p_access_mode Description
S In case you want your current session to work against Single ORG_ID
M In case you want your current session to work against multiple ORG_IDs
p_org_id: Only applicable if p_access_mode is passed value of "S"
If using Toad
Begin
mo_global.set_policy_context(‘S’, &org_id);
End;

Thank you for your help

Almost...
You need the sql loader where the "OS command" will execute it means where the agent is installed (once you will execute it from an agent when at production).
AND that machine where the agent is, need to "see" the target database through the Oracle Listener (tnsnames)....
Is just like to execute a Sql Loader from you own machine, but who write the command will be ODI.
Does it make any sense to you?

How to Comapare Row by Row in ODI Interface

Hi all
i want to Compare Record by Record from my Source Table.
Can any one Explain Logic How can i do through ODI Interface?

If you want row by row processing (rather than set based) then look at using Knowledge Modules that implicitly use a cursor via the agent to load the staging table (e.g LKM SQL to SQL) or a KM that explicitly uses a cursor to load the target table (e.g IKM Incremental updata row by row).
It wont be as fast as set based though!
What do you want to do with each row? Can you load them all into the staging area and then process row by row?

Dynamic Column Name in ODI Interface

Hi Everyone
I have a requirement to read a set of columns from source table and move the data to target table. Set of columns are decided dynamically based on parameter say PVV_PREFIX.
For example, assume the following tables
Source: Employee (OFFICE_ADDRESS1, OFFICE_ADDRESS2, OFFICE_CITY, HOME_ADDRESS1, HOME_ADDRESS2, HOME_CITY)
Target: Address(TYPE, ADDRESS1, ADDRESS2, CITY)
Now, if scenario is called PVV_PREFIX=OFFICE, then OFFICE_* columns should be mapped to target table
if scenario is called PVV_PREFIX=HOME, then HOME_* columns should be mapped to target table
In actual requirement there are more than 30 such columns. Declaring those many variables is really not practical, rather we prefer to #PVV_PREFIX + '_ADDRESS1' kind of approach. But not getting supported in ODI Interface.
Please let me know if this requirement is feasible via ODI Interface or we need to do only using ODI procedure. Thank you
Regards
Prasad

Prasad,
You can do it using single interface itself but you will need to customize the KM .
Step 1. Create Interface mapping with appropriate Source to Target Mapping.
Step2. Customize KM in such a way that you add prefix PVV_PREFIX. This can done using ODI Variable or Java
Step 3. Execute and test you interface
Please let me know if you have any question in above approach .

Cannot buil Essbase Dimension With ODI

Hi all,
i've a problem with an ODI interface to load Metada into Essbase.
I must load the account dimension the table contains 4 information:
Parent
Child
Alias
Data Storage.
I need to load some elements as Dynamic Calc and so I've added the column Data Storage wich contains 'X' For Dynamic Calc elements and 'S' for the other bottom level elements that are Store, but these buttom level elements must be shared member in the same dimension under another hierachy.
The error that i've received from interface after the execution is:
unknown source (error -1) cannot build dimension.
Can somenone help me on this?
Thanks
Best Regards
E. G.

Hi John,
i have once more the same problem.
I send you the script description of the interface:
from com.hyperion.odi.common import ODIConstants
from com.hyperion.odi.connection import HypAppConnectionFactory
from java.lang import Class
from java.lang import Boolean
from java.sql import *
from java.util import HashMap
# Get the select statement on the staging area:
sql= """select C1_PARENTNAME "ParentName",C2_MEMBERNAME "MemberName",C3_ALIAS "Alias",C4_DATASTORAGE "DataStorage" from "C$_0Measures" where (1=1) """
srcCx = odiRef.getJDBCConnection("SRC")
stmt = srcCx.createStatement()
srcFetchSize=30
stmt.setFetchSize(srcFetchSize)
rs = stmt.executeQuery(sql)
#load the data
stats = pWriter.loadData(rs)
#close the database result set, connection
rs.close()
stmt.close()
Is it helpful for you?
Next week i'll send you my source and the outline file.
Today i've some VPN conncection problem and so i can not send you all the information.
Thank you very much for your help.
