VLD-1111 Error

I have a mapping that generates PL/SQL. I was using a Constant Operator to populate a date column with sysdate. I decided to change this toi a Data Generator Operator and got the following error message.
VLD-1111: This mapping cannot be generated because it contains a combination or sequence of operators that are invalid.
It seems that the Data Generator Operator is incompatible with PL/SQL mappingswhich seems rather strange to me. Does anyone know what's going on here?

My only problem with using a constant is that you get exactly the same date/time for each row rather than the actual date/time the row was inserted. This is because Oracle sets up a constant with the value of sysdate in the PL/SQL code it generates. This as you would expect.
I've actually now decided to use the Mapping Transformation operator bound to the sysdate function. This seems to work just fine.

  • Validation Error: VLD-1111

    I'm trying to Validate a mapping between a source and staging table and recieve the following error message: "VLD-1111: The mapping cannot be generate due to operators requiring different code languages."
    My source table is in an Oracle 9i DB and so is the target staging table, which is in the OWB repository. What does this error mean?
    TIA,
    David Wagoner

    David,
    This validation error typically is given when you mix for example SQL*Loader operators with SQL operators. For example you place an aggregator within a mapping that contains a flatfile as a source. SQL*Loader cannot determine what to do with the aggregator and PL/SQL does not know how to handle the file.
    As you seem to have a table as source and as target, I'm wondering if there are any other operators on the canvas that are intended for SQL*Loader like the data generator? If that is the case replace the data generator by either a constant or a sequence, that should take care of the validation message.

  • VLD-1111 Unknown step type

    Hi,
    I'm getting the following error:
    VLD-1111: Mapping cannot be generated due to unknown step type.","This mapping contains conflicting components and there is no compatible step type to generate the mapping. Please modify the mapping and remove conflicting components.
    I'm not sure what I'm doing wrong. I have to join two sets of records from different sources. So I've create a SET object and a function to generate null values, in order to expresion for calcs like '(value1 * value2 ) + value3', joins objects to merge attributes, etc. My sources are tables from database.
    TIA

    Javier,
    Could it be that you first use the match-merge operator and then try to use the set operator?
    If that is the case... then use a table in between to stage the result.
    Thanks,
    Mark.

  • VLD-1111

    Has anyone else received this message?
    VLD-1111 The mapping cannot be generated due to operators requiring different code languages.
    For mapping code generation, the generated language needs to be the same for every operator in the mapping. Check the mapping and remove conflicting components.

    Hi,
    This message is produced when you have a "context switch" in the mapping. Let's take the following example, joining a flat file with a table would mix SQL*Loader language with SQL/PLSQL, and this can't be generate by Warehouse Builder.
    To make this work, you would use one of these 2 methods:
    1) use an external table (for more information check out the database manual for Oracle 9i)
    2) Stage the data with one map and then transform the data in another mapping.
    Hope this helps,

  • OWB VLD-2750 error

    Hi!
    Could someone please help.
    I am geting a VLD-2750 error in a MAPPING .. as I have specified an update in theloading specifications of the table.
    It needs a where clause! ? .. where do I put this where clause?
    In the Mapping table properties,in the conditional loading section, I am doing a match by constraint .. is it becuase of that! .. Please Help!
    Kind Regards
    Saif

    Saif,
    Yes, the where clause is generated from the "Match by constraint" property of your target table. It is inherited from a primary key or a unique key of the target. Most likely you don't have a primary/unique key defined on your target table. In order to find out, open the target object in an editor, select table properties from the menu and check out the constraints.
    If you change the table in the editor, make sure you do a reconcile inbound on the mapping object in order to get the latest definition of the object in your mapping.

  • Mapping error: VLD-1111

    New user. I am trying to create mapping with a simple transformation.
    The mapping goes from
    1) flat file --> 2) staging table --> 3) final table
    - The transformation expression is between #2 & #3 and is only for one field added to '100'...
    - Error rec'd when I try to validate the mapping.
    - I noticed that the table that is created by the mapping (step #3) doesn't/will not match the name I have given the table in the mapping. It refuses to keep the name. Maybe this has something to do with the problem.
    Anyone else encounter similar issues?
    Thanks.

    It appears I was able to solve this one myself. OWB does not like the way I connected/passed data thru 2 tables to a 3rd table. It apparently wants a 1-1 situation for mapping.

  • Vld 004 error - partition key has less than 2 partitions defined

    HI All,
    i have created a new table with a partition on one colunm. when i am trying to validate the table in owb, i am getting the vld-904 - partition key has less than two partitions defined error.
    please help.
    thank you.

    Hi,
    Oracle DB requires that a partitioned table has at least 2 partitions. That is why you get an error from owb, the table creation would fail anyway.

  • MMM1064 & VLD-1141 Errors

    I have several mappings that are producing an "MMM1064: Value SADI_DW_LOCATION not valid in domain DB_LOCATION2" error when I try to validate them. In this scenario, "SADI_DW_LOCATION" is my defined location and I have no idea what "DB_LOCATION2" is. These mappings have validated and deployed successfully in the past but will not now. I have checked and rechecked all the location information and nothing has changed or is incorrect (at least that I can see).
    To add injury to insult, if I just try to deploy one of the aforementioned mappings, I get the following.
    VLD-1141: Internal error during mapping generation.

    The error seems to be related to a nested pluggable map that I've built.
    I get the error when I try to add my (standalone) nested pluggable map to an existing map. When I do the same for a new map I do NOT see the error....
    Hope this helps...

  • Vld 3064 error

    Hi readers,
    While validating location , i am getting the following error message :
    VLD-3064: Owning and referenced locations of this connector are on the same database instance. Unless explicitly referenced in configuration settings, no generated code will use the database link resulting from deployment of this connector .
    Please send your valuable inputs to resolve the issue.
    Regards,
    Davis

    Hi Davis,
    Is that message really an error? I believe that it is just a warning to a situation where a dblink, that connects a "source database" to the same target database (a different schema on the same instance?), has been deployed.
    to my knowledge OWB only uses dblinks when the source and target exist on different databases.
    anyone please correct me if I'm wrong.
    Best regards,
    Bruno

  • VLD-6328 error : Use a flat file as Source in a mapping in OWB 10.2

    Dear all,
    I have created a simple mapping using a flat file in a remote server as a source and a simple table as a target.
    When I try to validate the mapping I get the following warning:
    "VLD-2398: No data file specified. Generated code will use the sampled file name and the file location xxx"
    I use the version 10.2 and I cannot find "Sources" or "Targets" when I use the "Configure" options.
    Any help will be appreciated

    Hi all,
    If you want to validate correctly this mapping you must to :
    1. Right click on the mapping, then Configure
    2. Right click on Sql Loader Data Files, then Create
    3. Verify that the location name is correct and complete the Data File Name
    4. OK
    The validation is now OK.
    I hope it will be help you
    Best Regards

  • VLD-1111 Mapping cannot be generated due to unknown step

    Hi All,
    Requirement : Mapping of Flat File to Oracle 9i Tables
    My Flat File contains : Header Record & Detail Records
    When I try to implement Sequences to identify parent child relationship between Header Record & detail Records
    I get the above error.
    Also I need to know how I can reject a file if Header Data is not available ?
    Any tips on this will be higly appreciated.
    Thanks in Advance.
    Sohan.

    Hi Igor,
    Thanks for your reply.
    But I face with this situation.
    If you develop two different mappings then one part will generate SQL*Loader Code and the other part will generate PL/SQL Code.
    If I try to upload the data without Sequences using SQL*Loader then all records will be rejected due to primary key constraint on the target table.
    How the PL/SQL code generated for Sequences will be implemented in OWB if I create a separate mapping for sequences & What will be the execution plan for the codes generated by SQL*Loader & PL/SQL?
    Regards,
    Sohan.

  • OWB and "Set Type"

    I'm using warehouse builder 9i against a 9i database to bring data from a fixed width flat file into a warehouse. Everything validates ok except the map which gets a VLD-1111 error (unknown step type). The config properties for the map have only "unknown" as an option (according to the documentation the choices should be PL/SQL or SQL*Loader). Also missing from the configuration are the runtime parameters mentioned in the docs. This is pretty much what is covered in the docs. so I know I have to be missing something in the setup that is not covered in the docs. Has anyone run into this or have any insight into this?
    Thanks in advance.

    Hi Jayesh,
    Remove all the assignment for the attributes.
    No need to delete the attributes, but can be modified as per requirement and then again can be reassigned.
    If modification doesnot suffice requirement, attribtues and settypes can be deleted, created and assigned again.

  • Error VLD-0370  add a new dimension  to a cube

    Hello together!
    I have a little Problem with my OWB 11.2.0.3 on a new machine. We run OWB 11.2.0.3 on different machines, but on our new machine I have a little problem with ROLAP -Dimensions. I imported my Rolap Dimensions an Cubes from a other machine, all works fine (validate, deploy) but when I genereate a new ROLAP - Dimension the wizzard, vallidation ok, and add it to the cube. I get VLD-0370 error.
    VLD-0370: Für Cube CUB_MEMBER_TRANSACTION_R, Dimension TEST_DIM ist die Referenz nicht an Spalten einer Tabelle oder aktualisierbaren View gebunden.
    Eine Cube-Dimensionsreferenz muss an Spalten einer Tabelle oder einer aktualisierbaren View gebunden werden.
    It must be something like this:
    VLD-0370:For CUB_MEMBER_TRANSACTION_R Cube, Dimension TEST_DIM the reference is not bound to columns in a table or updatable view.
    A cube dimension reference must be bound to columns of a table or updatable view.
    I cannot create a new dimension ans add it to the cube on the new machine. Don't know why. All locations are fine.
    A problem is, I don't find a list or something like that for the VLD-xxxx with hints what to to like the ORA-xxxx.
    Thanks a lot from Berlin
    Michael

    Hi Michael,
    The cube has a table related, you have added the dimension to the cube, but the table needs a new column with a foreign key to the table-dimension. When you are modifying an existing cube this is not automatic, you have to add the column and foreign key manually.

  • Error VLD - 5005 when validating the map

    Using Datawarehouse builder 10.2 i have the following problem.
    This is the scenario:
    I have a dimension with one level and no hierachy and i want to do a mapping between a table and that dimension.
    Table has three atributes:supplier_id;name_sup;adress_sup.
    The dimension(which passes the validation) as four, three of type business to store information from the table atributes and one of the type surrogate(all these atributes belong to the same level).
    When validating the mapping I have this error:
    VLD-5005: no updatable inputs connected for dimension level "DIM_CUSTOMERS.LEVEL1"
    Details: At least one updatable input must be connected for level DIM_CUSTOMERS.LEVEL1, or the generated code will fail. paraent reference key and level natural key inputs are not updatable attributes in the target
    If I change dimension loading type to remove(instead of load) the validation is sucessful but the map doesn't work.
    Could anyone please give me a sugestion.
    João Costa
    Student of informatic engineering (University of Coimbra)

    Hi!
    could you explain that a little more please? (I.e. "make one of your source table attributes non-business"). I thought you could add the 'business' tag to attributes in the dimension, but I cannot see how to do that to the source table that is loading the dimension.
    FYI, I am trying to add an 'all-levels' category-type top level to a dimension hierarchy where the true source data goes
    L1>L3
    L2>L3
    L3to make the result
    L-CATEGORY>L1>L3
    L-CATEGORY>L2>L3
    L-CATEGORY>L3
    This is intended to combine source data from two sources, Products and Services. Products have two unrelated Type levels above them. Services have no Types. I thought I might be abow to create a mapping per source, and use a Constant to insert a Category attribute (business key) of either 'PRODUCT' or 'SERVICE' per mapping. My thinking was to use two seperate loads to the dimension. However, the first one generates the VLD-5005 error. I'd sure appreciate some help with theis fix.
    Do you know a better way of doing this?
    Also, is there a list/manual anywhere of all error messages for Paris?
    Cheers,
    Donna

    Hi,
    Did u generate the mapping and see whether it is generating the code properly?Also check whether ur mapping is validating properly..
    The following link may provide u with some information.
