Upgrading to OWB 11g

We are planning to upgrade the database to 11g, currently on 10.2 and we are weighing the pros and cons of upgrading to OWB 11g as well currently on 10.2 . I see that OWB 11g is still in its first release.
I have some questions and hope you can answer/advise:
1) Should we consider going to OWB 11g release 1, or should we wait for a later release?
2) If we should consider upgrading to OWB 11g, what are the features that would make it worthwhile?
3) If we go to OWB 11g, should we upgrade before or after we upgrade the database to 11g? Is there any argument for upgrading both simultaneously?
4) If we decide to stay on OWB 10gR2, are there any drawbacks/concerns to upgrading the database to 11g?
Thanks in Advance
Suresh

Hi Suresh,
These question are hard to answer.
But my personal thinking is that unless you have some valid reason to go for 11g R1 do not.
Its in first release .So will be not be as stabilise as 10g R2.
You can check in this Forum queries regarding Upgradation

  • Help with Understanding Workspaces in OWB 11G

    Hi
    We are planning to upgrade a 10.1.0.3 repository to 10.1.0.4 via the upgrade scripts and then migrate the entire environment to a new server with an 11g database. Also we need to migrate a separate 10gr2 repository and target schemas to the same 11g database.
    I have been reading the documentation and can see that the repository (OWBSYS) can be split into separate workspace owners that you can assign users to.
    I have looked at the Oracle tutorial for OWB 11g and can see it asks for a Workspace Owner User Name and also a Workspace Name. What is the difference between these? If you have multiple Workspaces do these appear as separate schemas on the database and, if so, do these have the Workspace Owner User Name or the Workspace Name?
    In our 10.1.0.3 database we have a design repository A, and a separate runtime repository with a runtime owner and runtime user schema.
    In the 10GR2 database we have a design repository B (containing design and runtime metadata).
    I am thinking of creating one 11G Workspace for the 10.1.0.3 repository data and another workspace for the 10GR2 data. However, would the workspace owner user names need to be the same i.e.'A' and 'B'?
    Any advice would be appreciated.
    Thanks
    GB

    This is what I've learned so far:
    You're repository will always be on the OWBSYS schema. So if you have 2 repositories and plan do put them both on the same database then you'll end up with 1 repository with 2 workspaces.
    All the metadata is stored on the OWBSYS schema.
    The workspace owner will be the user with most privileges on that workspace and can have a different name of the workspace.
    You can add more users (besides the workspace owner) to any of the workspaces.
    hope it helps... and please someone correct me if I'm wrong.

  • Upgrade 10g to 11g

    We are upgrading 10G to 11g on the same box(UNIX). I just wanted to what are files I have to take back up before Upgrade. Below are the files I know..Please let me know if any extra
    RPP
    Catalog
    NQSconfig
    Instanceconfig
    I need to replace those files after installing 11g or edit according to 10G files...
    Also wanted to know that, we should install obiee 7.9.6.1 on top of OBIEE 10g so does 7.9.6.1 installs in same folders where 10g installed or it creates separate folder? and
    does it creates separate configuration files and catalog path for it it uses the existing 10g files?
    Please reply with some suggestions.
    Thanks in advance..

    Thanks Bala for your useful links..also please let me know does 7.9.6.1 installation creates new path for its installation or it installed with 10g installed folder. I mean to ask 7.9.6.1 installation creates new configuration files and catalog?

  • Error VLD-1108 while validating the mapping in owb 11g

    Hi All,
    I am using owb 11.1.0.7.0. I am new to owb 11g. I am getting the following error while validating the mapping
    error: VLD-1108 . Operator requires more input or output connections in order to generate mapping code.
    I am using a function as operator and mapping it with the table.
    Please tell me the solution for this. Its urgent
    Thanks in advance,
    Siva

    Hi,
    u must be using a procedure or table function that is called in the mapping for execution. When writing the function u would have specified 3 inputs but in the mapping u would have given only 2. check the number of inputs and make sure they match.

  • Error while importing .MDL file to OWB 11g

    Hi
    I have a mdl file which is generated by OWB 10g, when i am importing it to OWB 11g it is giving message that please check if the disk is not full of write protected. i have given the access privilage to oralce folder.
    i am using windows vista
    Please help

    Do yo
    u have the software installed from a different user executing the software? If a different user, does the user have access to the sub-directories under owb\bin for write?
    Also the directory where the MDL file is being imported from is where by default the log file will be, you can change this directory to somewhere you can write.

  • HOW TO INSTALL ODI 11g / OWB 11g  IN WINDOWS SERVER 2008 R2 (64 BITS)

    Hi everybody,
    I have a serious problem.
    Last week we buy a new server with Windows Server 2008 Std. R2 x64, for a new project. I tried to install the RDBMS Oracle 11g R2 (x64) without problems, but when i try execute the "Design Center" contents in OWB, show me the error: 0xc0000018
    Then, I´m thinking in install Oracle Data Integrator to solution it, but i`ve read that neither can install on 64 bits system... This is true?
    Somebdoy knows how can I install OWB 11g / ODI 11g in a Windows 2008 Server 64 bits?
    Thanks & Regards!

    OWB 11G Will have been installed with the database, it now ships with 11G.
    Check you are on a supported platform for design centre using the certification matrix.
    Quick google search for you regards 0xc0000018 :

  • Setting END_DATE in OWB 11g R1/R2 SCD type 2

    Hi
    I have this issue which needs an immediate solution. The SCD2 design in OWB 11g R1/R2 works well except that it does not allow a programmer to populate the value of END_DATE with a field from source.
    I observed that one can set the value of end_date in the dimension properties (via inspector) for initial records/open records.
    a. default effective time of initial record and
    b. default effective time of open record
    My question is for the above two properties being set on the SCD History logging properties on target level in mappings, can we set them to a particular date field coming in from the source?
    The only work around I found was to have a function which returns me a particular value from the source which can be called within the properties of these two fields, but other than that, we cannot directly populate the END_DATE field as it is a derived field within the SCD2 logic generated in the background.
    Please if you could answer this it would be great

    Hi Oleg
    I want the STA_FROM to drive my DIM_TO as well
    So I may have sets of records say
    Business/Natural key : Account number
    Triggering column: Name
    Suppose I load all of this today
    Account_number STA_FROM Name
    1001 01-aug-2010 Dummy1
    1001 03-aug-2010 Dummy2
    1001 05-aug-2010 Dummy3
    1001 07-aug-2010 Dummy4
    1002 01-sept-2010 Dummy_1
    Hence Dimension data will be
    Account_key Account_number EFFECTIVE_DATE END_DATE Name
    1 1001 01-aug-2010 03-aug-2010 Dummy1
    2 1001 03-aug-2010 05-aug-2010 Dummy2
    3 1001 05-aug-2010 07-aug-2010 Dummy3
    4 1001 07-aug-2010 31-dec-9999 Dummy4
    5 1002 01-aug-2010 31-dec-9999 Dummy_1
    If you notice, I am driving both Effective and end date by the STA_FROM
    I have already achieved this in the hard coded SCD logic by using Lead function to derive my end dates for "force-closing" records.
    But the SCD wizard does not allow us to drive the value of end date based on a field coming from the source. Now in my case, the STA_FROM can also be value of an input load date parameter in some cases.
    It would have been nice to allow population of END_DATE on target dimension operator instead of giving only the option of setting it in the operator properties.
    Hope its much clearer now

  • Missing objects when created a OWB 11g owner/user

    h4. i created a new owb owner and user using repository, but apparently no objects (tables,views,synonyms,function and etc) has been "imported" or copy from OWBSYS to the owner.
    h4. - Creation of OWNER is successful using repository
    h4. - Adding a USERS is successful
    h4. how can i copy or create a new OWB owner that has a objects that is same with OWBSYS? help please im new with 11g
    h4. version: 11.2.0.1.0

    Hi,
    Starting from OWB 11g all the metadata and audit information will be owned by OWBSYS user unlike OWB10g where in the metadata and audit information
    used to be created under respective repository owner.
    There will be only one OWB repository schema (i.e OWBSYS)per database
    Initially there won't be any objects under OWBSYS. Once you create a new workspace then all the objects will be created under OWBSYS.
    And the new owner will not have any objects, all the objects will be owned by OWBSYS.
    The workspace owner user is used to adminster the workspace and users.
    This is correct behaviour. No need bother about this. So no need to import any objects under this database user.
    The objects i referred previously are OWB design objects like mappings,transformations,modules,projects.
    If you want to import/create the OWB design objects you have to connect to the OWB design center and import the objects using MDL utility or create new objects.
    The metadata about these design objects will be stored in the tables owned by OWBSYS.

  • OWB 11g Problem in running Process flow

    I’ve build a process flow as described in “Getting Started with Oracle Warehouse Builder 11g”. But if I run the process flow I get a warning message “You have to deploy this object before running” followed by the error RTC-5170: The selected objects do not require deployment as they are all up to date in the Control Center.
    Therefore I’m not able to run the process flow. What’s wrong? It looks so easy in Getting Started but it doesn’t work.
    I’ve found two threads regarding this error from last year in this forum. But there is no solution for OWB 11g.
    Has anyone an advice for me?

    I've successfully installed OWF as described in Installation guide (all components are on the sam server).
    But when I deploy a workflow in OWB I get some errors. In the job details
    I find ORA-00942 and RPE-02053. It seems that the workflow repository is missing.
    Are there additional steps for creating a workflow repository?
    Or what is wrong? All installation logs (wf.log and workflow.log) are without errors and with success messages.
    Any idea?

  • Dynamic flat file loading in OWB 11g

    Hi,
    I'm working on owb 11g, i need to load multiple files into tables having the same file name where only the date and file sequence number changes. The files are of format:
    FileA_2009_1
    FileA_2009_2
    FileA_2009_3,etc....
    How can i dynamically change the files and load to one table. Can this be achieved through external tables or sql* loader? Is there any such new feature in OWB 11g?
    Rgds
    Rex

    Hi
    SQLLoader mappings have the data filename as an optional input parameter (a fully qualified name can be passed). So you could have a loop to get the names and call the mapping. If it was External table you'd have to do an alter table to set the data file. If the filenames are static you can configure the ext table and mapping with the names.
    Cheers

  • New Features in OWB 11g vs. OWB 9.2

    Hi
    Can you share what are the new features/functionalites present in OWB 11g as compared to OWB 9.2?
    Thanks

    ... 11g R1 has the same functionality like 10gR2 >= 10.2.0.4.
    In 11g R2 BETA you can use all databases (like Data Integrator) to run the mappings, not only oracle. And you can deploy the mappings as web services.
