Target Load Order is not working

Question

I work with OWB 10gR2.
A have mapping with 2 target tables (say A and B). Table A needs to be filled before table B. How can I achieve this?
I have put 1 in "Target Load Order" property of table A and 2 in "Target Load Order" property of table B but this does not have the expected effect.
Anyone hase experience with this.

Hi,
look at the documentation:
When you design a PL/SQL mapping with multiple targets, Warehouse Builder calculates a default ordering for loading the targets. If you define foreign key relationships between targets, Warehouse Builder creates a default order that loads the parent and then the child. If you do not create foreign key relationships or if a target table has a recursive relationship, Warehouse Builder assigns a random ordering as the default.
You can override the default load ordering by setting the Target Load Order property. If you make a mistake when reordering the targets, you can restore the default ordering by selecting the Reset to Default option.
To specify the loading order for multiple targets:
Click on whitespace in the mapping canvas to view the mapping properties in the Property Window in the upper right corner.
Go to the Map Targets Load Order property and click the Ellipses button on the right side.
Warehouse Builder displays the Map targets load order dialog.
To change the loading order, select a target and use the shuttle buttons on the right to move the target up or down on the list.
