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,
Jean-Pierre

  • 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 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.

  • 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.

  • 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-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.

  • Error: While starting a Debuger session

    Hi,
    I am gettting the following Error while trying to Debug a mapping.
    VLD-1111: This mapping cannot be generated because it contains a combination or sequence of operators that are invalid.
    The mappping I am using is completly valid (It consists of two source tables a Joiner and a target flat File ) and it runs fine.
    Any help on the same will be greatly appreciated.
    Ciao
    Anish

    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.
    VLD-1111 Unknown step type
    PS: The de-bug in OWB is not very effective and i suggest u generate the intermediate code to find what the error is rather than going for de-bug.

  • Unbound Mapping  file with attributes.

    Hi,
    Could anyone please explain about Unbound mapping.
    I am trying to map a file to a unbound mapping file.
    While validating the mapping I got the following error.
    I am using OWB 10G R1.
    Error:
    VLD:1111-The mapping cannot be generated.because it contains a combination or sequence of operators.
    When I view the details...
    An invalid combination of operators prevents the generation of code in a single implementation language (PL/SQL code, or SQL*Loader code, or ABAP code). For example, you may have included a SQL*Loader only operator such as the Data Generator in a mapping with a PL/SQL implementation type. If you designed the mapping to generate PL/SQL code, an invalid combination or sequence of operators prevents the generation of PL/SQL code in any of the operating modes(set based, row based, row based target only). If the mapping contains an operator that generates only PL/SQL output, all downstream dataflow operators must also be implementable by PL/SQL. You can use SQL operators in such a mapping only after loading the PL/SQL output to a target. Detail is as follows:
    PL/SQL set based operating mode: Operator F_3cell_site_txt does not support SQL generation.
    PL/SQL row based operating mode: Operator F_3cell_site_txt does not support SQL and PL/SQL generation.
    PL/SQL row based (target only) operating mode: Operator F_3cell_site_txt does not support SQL and PL/SQL generation.
    Both SQL and PL/SQL handlers are not supported by F_3cell_site_txt as output
    SQL*Loader: Operator TEST_UNBOUND_FILE does not support SQL*Loader generation.
    ABAP: Operator F_3cell_site_txt does not support ABAP generation.
    Thanks and regards
    Gowtham Sen.

    Hi,
    I have never heard of Unbound Mapping. I think the problem is with your usage of your OWB operators. If you are using flat file as source directly into your mapping and the in your mapping flow using OWB operators like Joiners/ Set Operators such kinds of errors appear.
    Try using an external table(which is based on your source file structure) as the source in your mapping. This external table can then be used against all your well known OWB operators.

  • How to use a procedure as source in mapping?

    My procedure has a nested table out parameter. I link the nested table parameter to Varray Iterator operator as source. But validation failed. Error message as follows.
    VLD-1111: This mapping cannot be generated because it contains a combination or sequence of operators that are invalid.
    An invalid combination of operators prevents the generation of code in a single implementation language (PL/SQL code, or SQL*Loader code, or ABAP code).

You can use SQL operators in such a mapping only after loading the PL/SQL output to a target.

    I found it caused by conflicting between Transformation operator and Varray Iterator operator. Detailed message is
    PL/SQL row based operating mode: Operator MyProcedure supports PL/SQL generation but operator VarrayIterator supports SQL generation only. Conversion from PL/SQL generation to SQL generation is not supported.

  • 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.

  • VLD-2550 and 2551: CLOB datatype errors

    Hi All
    I've been trying to solve thi sproblem but have not been able to find a solution.
    Basically I have a Col1 (of table A) of clob datatype which is to be mapped to Col2 (table B).
    But when I validate the map I get the error:
    VLD-2550 : BLOB,CLOB or NBLOB data from remote source cannot have transformations (validation details : If you have CLOB,BLOB as remote data source, it must be directly mapped to a target entity)
    and
    VLD-2551: BLOB LCOB or NBLOB from remote data source must have generation mode set to SET-BASED.
    My map has a one to one mapping between the cols of tables A and B. Col1 is directly linked to Col2 (if thats what is meant by no transformations for CLOb types)
    Thanks a lot

    Hi ,
    If your source table (which have the CLOB ) is in remote machine then you need to configure the mapping in SET base mode and you should directly connect that source column to the target column .
    If you still get those kind of validation waring then simple ignore them .
    It is a defect in OWB . Refer Bug 5989066 : VALIDATION OF MAP WITH BLOB OBJECTS THROWS VLD-2550 AND VLD-2551 WARNINGS , which is yet to be fixed .
    Thanks,

  • VLD-1119: Unable to generate Multi-table Insert statement for some or all t

    Hi All -
    I have a map in OWB 10.2.0.4 which is ending with following error: -
    VLD-1119: Unable to generate Multi-table Insert statement for some or all targets.*
    Multi-table insert statement cannot be generated for some or all of the targets due to upstream graphs of those targets are not identical on "active operators" such as "join".*
    The map is created with following logic in mind. Let me know if you need more info. Any directions are highly appreciated and many thanks for your inputs in advance: -
    I have two source tables say T1 and T2. There are full outer joined in a joiner and output of this joined is passed to an expression to evaluate values of columns based on
    business logic i.e. If T1 is available than take T1.C1 else take T2.C1 so on.
    A flag is also evaluated in the expression because these intermediate results needs to be joined to third source table say T3 with different condition.
    Based on value taken a flag is being set in the expression which is used in a splitter to get results in three intermediate tables based on flag value evaluated earlier.
    These three intermediate tables are all truncate insert and these are unioned to fill a final target table.
    Visually it is something like this: -
    T1 -- T3 -- JOINER1
    | -->Join1 (FULL OUTER) --> Expression -->SPLITTER -- JOINER2 UNION --> Target Table
    | JOINER3
    T2 --
    Please suggest.

    I verified that their is a limitation with the splitter operator which will not let you generate a multi split having more than 999 columns in all.
    I had to use two separate splitters to achieve what I was trying to do.
    So the situation is now: -
    Siource -> Split -> Split 1 -> Insert into table -> Union1---------Final tableA
    Siource -> Split -> Split 2 -> Insert into table -> Union1

  • 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

  • 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 VLD-0917 (unknown error)  while deploying FACT table

    Hi,
    I keep getting this error while trying to deploy a FACT table:
    VLD-0917: An unknown error occured while generating <fact table name>.
    An unknown error occurred while generating <fact table name>. Error details: java.lang.NullPointerException.
    Do yo know what can it be? This fact table was linked to a Dimension that I modified (added one more level to its hierarchy). Since I did this change, the fact table cannot be validated.
    This happens to all fact tables that use this dimension. I created a new cube with the new definition of the dimension and had no trouble at all. I disassociate the dimension from existing cubes and they validate OK. What could be happening?
    I would appreciate any help you could provide.

    Hi,
    I realized that I'm getting this error for all fact tables. I cannot deploy any of them. What could be happening? I have a dimension that is linked to all facts which I changed recently: had to redefine its default hierarchy as a value-based one. I don't know if this affected my cubes.
    Any idea what might be happening here?
