Warehouse Builder Browser Customization

Hi,
I user Oracle Warehouse Builder 11.2
Is there the possibility to customize "Warehouse Builder Browser"? Styles, contents and so on...
Thanks
Regards,
Luca

I haven't seen anyone doing this, OWB is based on UIX which although had this capability wasn't exposed. You can build up custom reports using the public SQL views for the design and runtime repositories.

Warehouse Builder Browser is extremely slow

Hi,
Platform: OWB 11.2.0.1 on Windows server 2008 64 bit
Our project consists of a few hundred mappings, all run through a masterflow consisting of several sub-flows (using the built inn Workflow installation). We have purged all execution audit data older than 7 days using purge_audit_template.sql but still the Audit browser is slow to the point of being unusable when trying to expand the masterflow ("Select to expand" by clicking the blue triangle).
Using grid control I've noticed the following:
SELECT SYS_CONTEXT('owb_workspace' , 'workspaceID' )
FROM DUAL
Executions 932,212,883
Elapsed Time (sec) 10,204.37
CPU Time (sec) 10,203.53
From what I can tell, this SQL has been executed almost a billion times in the last 10 days, taking 170minutes of CPU time. And this is just from a few attempts to expand the masterflow in the audit browser... Unfortunately the RAB session times out before the SQL completes, making us unable to get the details from the sub-flows.. I've tried the built in "optimize repository" function in OWB without success.
Has anyone else experienced this kind of problem?
Regards,
Roald

Hi Roald,
from my experience speed of queries on OWB repository depends on size of segments repository tables.
When repostory size is grow Oracle optimizer prefer full table scan over indexed acces and maybe it is a main reason for query slowing.
When you deleted execution audit records with purge_audit_template.sql script you didn't decrease segments size and queries execution plan still the same (slow).
My idea is to identify biggest segments (all types - tables/indexes/LOB) and "compress" them with ALTER (MOVE/REBUILD) commands.
Did you delete deployments audit records from repository?
Please tell current values for audit execiution/deployment volume in your repistory with queries like:
select count(1) from all_rt_audit_executions;
select count(1) from all_rt_audit_locations;
Also show segment statistics returned from these queries:
select segment_name,sum(bytes)/1024/1024 seg_size,count(1) cnt from user_segments
where segment_type='TABLE' group by segment_name having sum(bytes)/1024/1024>=5 order by 2 desc;
select segment_name,sum(bytes)/1024/1024 seg_size,count(1) cnt from user_segments
where segment_type='INDEX' group by segment_name having sum(bytes)/1024/1024>=5 order by 2 desc;
select q.*,l.table_name,l.column_name from
(select segment_name,sum(bytes)/1024/1024 seg_size,count(1) cnt from user_segments
where segment_type='LOBSEGMENT' group by segment_name having sum(bytes)/1024/1024>=5) q,user_lobs l
where q.segment_name=l.segment_name
order by seg_size desc;

Confuse about Configuring Oracle Warehouse Builder

newbie here... i am abit confuse on how to configure the Oracle Warehouse builder...
I have 2 database... 1 source and 1 new one...
I understand that i have to install the Runtime Repository in the database computer and the Target Schema through the client's computer...
so all this while... i am just confuse about what to install into the source database and what to install into the new database...
Please help...

Location is a logical entity in your OWB design that can be either a database schema, a flat file location, an SAP application location etc. Once you complete your design and are ready to deploy the design into the runtime environment, you will have to 'register' the locations by providing the physical details of your location to OWB (user name/password, database, hostname etc.).
I am a bit confused by your configuration - are the source and the target in two separate schemas or in the same schema? Your posts are somewhat contradictory.
If they are in two different schemas, you should:
1. Create a source module pointing to a source schema (you can then import data object structures from the source schema - i.e. you don't have to create source tables manually in OWB, but you can import them into the module automatically). This module will have a source location (for example SRC_LOC).
2. Create a target module where all your target objects will be (i.e. where the data will be loaded). This module will have a different location (TGT_LOC). In your target module you will also create the mappings.
3. When deploying, you will register SRC_LOC with the physical details of your source schema, while the target location will be registered with the physical details of the target schema. The code generated by OWB during deployment will make sure that the data is extracted from the source schema and inserted into the target schema (either by generating and using DB links or by qualifying the schemas in the extraction queries if source and target are in the same database instance).
On the other hand, if both source and target objects are in the same db schema, you can have all your objects in the same target module and you will only have to register the location of this target module when deploying (LOC_TGT).
That said, there can be a variety of reasons why there is no data in the target after you run the extract mapping that have nothing to do with locations, such as logical errors in the mapping (an inappropriate filter or a wrong join), insufficient privileges etc. I suggest you take a look in the runtime audit browser that should contain the error messages relative to your mapping.

Oracle Warehouse Builder 10g installation issues

Hi All,
I have downloaded the OWB 10g, from the site. I have Oracle 10g (Release 2) database server installed on the machine.
When I start installing Oracle Warehouse Builder 10g, it just does the client installation and I am not able to find out were should I search for the OWB server installation?
Even I have checked by installing the same but I just have Repository Assistant , Design Center and Repository Browser available on the machine. I could not find the Runtime Assistant & Control Center to work on?
Can somebody help me out with these issues?
Thanks in advance.
Regards,
Anand

Hi...
There is an explanations..from the FAQ itself :
How do I download and install Warehouse Builder Client versus Warehouse Builder Server?
Warehouse Builder is a single install image that contains both Client and Server components, which are installed at the same time as part of the installation process. If the deployment target database is on the same machine as Warehouse Builder Client UI, there is one single installation process. If the deployment target database is on a separate machine, the install process has to be run twice, repeating the exact same install process on the client machine (to run the Warehouse Builder Design client) and the deployment target machine. Normally when installing the repository, either locally or remotely, the OWB software needs to be already present on the machine. However, it is possible to skip or defer the step of installing on the target deployment machine. This is referred to as a “Remote Target Configuration”. More information on this can be found in the Installation Guide, Chapter 2, “Remote Target”.
hope this helps...

Workflow Monitor on Warehouse Builder 11g r2

Hi everyone,
I'm developing an ETL process using Warehouse Builder 11g r2 on Oracle Database 11g r2.
I don't find any information about installation and use of Workflow Monitor with this last release.
Before I used OWB e DB 10g r2 where I can find Workflow Monitor+Application Server+ Midtier in "Companion CD".
In 11g r2 there aren't a CD like that, and i don't now how to proceed.
The solution i thought is to use Workflow Monitor from 10g r2 companion cd but i hope in a better
and "updated" solution.
Can anyone suggest me?
Thank you!

Thank you so much for your answer, but my question is slightly different.
From .../owb/wf I've just installed Workflow 2.6.4.
What I need is Workflow Monitor, a tool where you can
see the execution of a process using a web browser.

Thanks for your reply Igor.
As posted the OWB 10.1.0 software is running against a 9.2.0.8.0. database, so OWB still uses DBMS_JOB instead of DBMS_SCHEDULER in this database. In addition I already tested scheduling a simple job to run an OS command as suggested in note 365539.1 , and job scheduling is working fine.
There are no invalid objects in this database.

Scheduling in Warehouse Builder

Hi all,
There is an urgent requirement for scheduling in warehouse builder in my project. Can any one provide me the doucument for the scheduling processes in warehouse builder.

Hi
There's 2 ways I've done this:
1 Use the scheduler in OWB - you need to license the Enterprise ETL option but then it's just a case of reading the manual and setting it up. You will need to have Oracle Workflow installed which is a bit more
involved but there's lots of posts about that elsewhere on the forum.
2 Use DBMS_SCHEDULER to run your processes or mappings. Read this blog at Rittman Mead: [http://www.rittmanmead.com/2005/04/28/scheduling-an-owb-90492101-mapping-or-process-flow-using-dbms_job/]
Set up the function and then call it via a pl/sql block which can be scheduled. Very quick to get set up and doesn't need a license.
Hope that's enough to get you started

Problem in 10g warehouse builder installation

I installed 10g warehouse builder on windows xp but when I was trying to deploy the mapping it show a error .
VLD-2771: System privileges may not allow extraction from source EMP.
please help me out of this problem

Hello,
You might build mapping where you manually configure some target/source object to have database schema and/or database link. In this case OWB warns you that mapping could fail due to lack of access privileges to that object.
But if you explicitly grant appropriate privilege to mappings owner thats OK. Mapping will work fine but your will still get this warning during validation/deployment.

A bug in the warehouse builder regarding mappings of dimensions

Hi there
I do not know if this is the right place to submit a possible bug. Anyways - here goes.
Warehouse builder client: 10.1.0.2.0
Warehouse builder repository: 10.1.0.1.0
I'm creating a dimension, having one level attributes property as a varchar2(30). Thus it has a length of 30. Now, later on I decide this was an error. I update the property to a number, deploys, and reconcile the dimension inbound in the mapping. From now on, it will give an error, since it remembers the length. And a number has a size, not a length. If I remove the dimension from the mapping, and inserts it again, the error still occurs.
By the way, I am able to reproduce this.
Anyone who has experienced this, and can blame the stupid user (me) or classify this as a bug?
Yours
Kim Andersen

Hi Igor
The "error" is actually a "warning":
Warning: VLD-1004: Column length of ASD_ASDASD is longer than the target column length.
where ASD_ASDASD is the dimension property, which I altered. It is annoying, though, to have warnings on the list, that aren't needed. And I also spent considerable time thinking that was the error in a mapping, whereas it was a stupid mistake made by me somewhere else :)
If it's a registered bug, do I get to win some branded Oracle candy?! :)
Yours
Kim

Oracle Warehouse Builder 10.1.0.4 on Windows 2008 - 64 bits

Hi Gurus.
I'm currently working with a customer who wants to migrate all their database-servers to Windows 2008 on 64-bits processors. They're using Oracle Database Enterprise Edition 10g Release 2 (10.2.0.4) and Oracle Warehouse Builder (10.1.0.4). The OWB-clients will still run on Windows XP. I've used the "Certify"-funcionality on Metalink, but it doesn't really answer my questions. (It does* ansver some of my questions, but it also raises a few new ones....)
My main question is: Can you run serverside OWB 10.1.0.4 on Enterprise Edition 10.2.0.4 for Windows 2008 64-bits?
Thanks in advance:-)
Best regards
Helge

No.
Oracle Warehouse Builder version 10.1.x was desupported on 16-JUL-2007.
The desupport notice is available on Metalink (Note 376384.1).
The Warehouse Builder installation as part of the 11.1.0.7 installation should be certified, but I cannot find specifics.

Oracle warehouse builder - OWB & Oracle 10g Db on SuSE

hi folks,
i have Oracle 10g db on my laptop; and it runs great!
but since i am trying to gain skills in data warehousing and business inteligence, and after reading about oracle warehouse builder, i decided to install it on my laptop as well.
but i can not get my head around the docs for installing OWB.
is the only requirement for OWB to have an OWB_ORACLE_HOME environment variable on linux? how do we start OWB service automatically?
has anyone installed OWB with oracle on the same pc?
i would appreciate your comments.
thanks in advance,
Nicolas

Thanks Andreas,
i have printed and followed the advice on these documents.
that is how i have got confused about this OWB_ORACLE_HOME.
i would very much appreciate if could provide me with some brief description of which environment variables are needed for OWB installation.

nicolas

Oracle Applications Release 12 and Oracle Warehouse Builder 10gR2

Hi
I'm trying to deploying process flows to Workflow but I get the following error:
RPE-02054: The version of Oracle Workflow is incompatible with this Control Center. Required 2.6.3, but found 2.6.0.
Comment I found on another thread: "As far Workflow Versions with Oracle Applications is concerned, it is always 2.6.0. Workflow is not identified with its 2.6.x versioning in Oracle Applications. The 2.6.x.x versioning is purely for Workflow Standalone."
Oracle Warehouse Builder Client: 10.2.1.31
Oracle Warehouse Builder Repository: 10.2.0.1.0
Oracle Applications Release 12
Any help would be appreciated.

May be the excerpt from the other thread is a response I posted.
So, when you say, deploying process flows to Workflow, I do not understand what you are doing exactly? If this involves the Oracle Warehouse Builder you may want to explain a little more in detail since I do not understand how OWB works with Workflow. But as far as I have heard, it is Workflow standalone that is packaged with OWB but you are deploying into Oracle Applications.
What is the version of Oracle Workflow Builder you are using?
Is the steps you are doing certified to be done with Oracle Applications R12?
Thanks

Oracle Warehouse Builder 10.1.0.4

Hi All,
I am searching for Oracle Warehouse builder 10.1 release which is compatible with Oracle database 10gR2 on solaris x86 server.
I have found softwares for solaris sparc but nothing seems available for oracle 10gR2 on solaris x86.
OWB 10.1.0.3 is compatible with oracle database 10gR1 and owb 10.1.0.4 and owb 10.1.0.5 are only compatible with 10gR2.
Currently we are facing some problem with Owb 10.2.0.1 so we have to relay on owb 10.1 release.
Can any one help me to find link for downloading
OWB 10.1.0.4 or 10.1.0.5 for solaris x86 server...
Thanks

I am still unable to find any owb 10.1.x.x release for solaris x86 environment.
Do any one have any link for this??
