Warehouse Builder ETL Option
We are using OWB repository 10.2.0.2.0 and OWB client 10.2.0.2.8. The Oracle version is 10 G (10.2.0.2.0). OWB is installed on Sun 64 bit server.
There are various ETL options for OWB such as Enterprise ETL Option, DQ ETL option etc.
How do we find the actual option of installed ETL option?
It does not show up in OWB/help/About or session properties.
Do we need to query some system tables to figure this out?
Thanks in advance.

Hi.
there is just one installation. Having installed OWB, you can technically use all features. It's just a question of the license what you are allowed to use.

Carsten.

Who says Oracle Warehouse Builder is a leader in ETL?
... the analyst firm Gartner does!
Oracle Warehouse Builder moved into the leader quadrant in Gartner's ETL Magic Quadrant published on September 8, 2004. Please see today's press release from Oracle http://biz.yahoo.com/prnews/040916/sfth048_1.html
What does it mean for the technical users of OWB like you: data warehouse developers, architects, data analysts, DBAs?
It means that you've made a wise career decision to become skilled in the product with rapidly growing customer base and market recognition.
Nikolai RochnikIf it were me, I'd use an 'Expression' operator in the mapping and write a CASE statement. You could also write a public or private transformation that takes the varchar2 parameter in and outputs the number you want and plug that into your mapping.
Which route you go depends on how often you need to do this. One time, just write an expression. Reuse? Then make a transformation.

How ETL (mappings) is done in Warehouse Builder ??
Hi All,
I am new to warehouse builder and was wondering if there is tutorials or video tutorials on how mapping works in warehouse Builder.
I need to use this builder to map different tables from different schemas.
example:
schema_1 schema_2
table1 -----> maps to ------> table2
col1 -----------------> col1
col2 ---------------> col2
col3 --------------> col3
Anything to get me started would be great.
Thanks for the help.

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

Designer Vs. Oracle Data warehouse builder
Dear all,
Currently I'm responsible of building a Data warehousing project using Oracle database. I'm trying to decide on a tool for modelling my datawarehouse. I have two options:
1) Designer: we have some experience with this tool and we are using it for our main OLTP application.
2) Oracle Data Warehouse builder: we are using this to design our ETL processes.
I want to get some advice on whether the OWB is capable of modelling my datawarehouse and of doing a retrofit action. also, I try to standardize on the tools that are using in the Data Warehouse department (currently we are using only OWB).
I will appreciate for any other advice to help in my selection process.
Best Regards,
BilalHi,
In my experience this choice depends on the implementation of the datawarehouse. If you are building a "pure" Kimball style dimensional data warehouse you should be able to do this using OWB. I have architected such a DW in the past using only OWB, so I am speaking from experience.
If on the other hand you are planning to implement an Inmon style CIF, if your requirements includes an operational data store (ODS), or if you for any other reason anticipate that you are going to be doing a lot of ER modeling, then I would not recommend using the current release of OWB for modelling. (Note however that there are significant improvements to the modelling capabilities in the Paris release of OWB, so this may change in the future)
The advantage of improved maintainability when using a single tools needs to be weighted against the improved functionality if you choose a combination of the two. In the "two tool" scenario strict development and deployment routines need to be enforced to avoid that the model in Designer comes out of sync with the metadata in OWB. (Consider the effect of a developer making a change to a table definition in OWB and deploying it directly to the database without updating the model in Designer.)
Hope this helps.

How to perform auto update in staging database using warehouse builder ?
Hi ,
here our client requirement is?
our client want to transfer data from their production database to staging database using warehouse builder.and also what ever the update occur in production database
that must be reflected in staging database.
here we are transfering data from product-db to staging using etl(maping--insert/update operator )
it is transfering fine.but it is not automaticaly updating in staging db with new update in production database?
can any body give me the details how to achive it.
Thanks & regards,
k azamtulla khan.Hi,
firstly there are two threads for the same issue from youself(excluding this one) which is a waste of others time so kindly refrain from doing so and use one thread.
OWB: how can automatic updation perform in staging database using OWB
OWB: how to use insert/update table operator for target table
secondly, with regards to the options , here are some options:
1. Use trigger for update.
2. Use materialized view(refresh on commit)
3. Use oracle advance queing mechanism (OAQ) for queing the recent inserted/updated records.
Kindly close other threads and maintain just one thread.
Regards

Where can I get a specific LIST of the warehouse builder "core features" ?
I see references to a specific list in various places for 10gR2 and 11g but have yet to stumble upon said list. Can someone give me a URL? So far the main thing I see as an added option is Data Pump.
ThanksWell, this looks about as specific as Oracle is going to make it. They say essentially what you said, if you don't see it in the defined extra cost option assume it's a core capability. But the reason I was thinking Data Pump is extra cost is things like this:
[Oracle Warehouse Builder Enterprise ETL Option|http://download.oracle.com/docs/cd/B28359_01/owb.111/b31278/concept_overview.htm#CEGEIDFG]
Enables higher developer productivity in (larger) projects. Also
allows for reuse of transformation logic and for certain *fast
extraction methods in large volume data movements.* -
OWB10gR2 on RAC without Enterprise ETL option
Documentation says that "Without the Enterprise ETL option, you can install the Warehouse Builder repository in a Real Applications Cluster environment for the limited purposes of executing in that environment". What means "limited" ??
I'm probably not really the person you want to hear from, but I have had some experiences in this area that I can share.
I have purchased both the Enterprise ETL and Data Quality options, but while I was negotiating with Oracle on licensing (which took several months) we almost went live with 10.2 without using the options. Honestly, the only really important feature that I had to have was the Configurations. We run 2 separate data warehouses for 2 of our businesses, but both share a common set of code. The configurations allow you to set target specific configurations against the same mappings, tables etc which simplifies deployment significantly for me.
Scheduling has a major shortcoming: you cannot set runtime parameters and unfortunately, I am unable to use it even though it came at quite a price.
I have been through a fair bit of pain with bugs too. I have 5 custom patches resulting from bugs and have 2 more Sev 1 SRs currently open, waiting for patches. Having siad that, considering the scale of changes in 10.2, they have done pretty well for a first release.
If you are using an earlier version of OWB, my opinion is you will be fine with 10.2 without the options. There are some nice features that you will no doubt find useful in the options, but they do come at a price if you have many users or CPUs. -
Oracle Warehouse Builder VS Oracle Data Integrator
Hi everybody,
I have a question that wish you can help me.
we have systems of x64 so we cant use Oracle Warehouse Builder (only support on system 32 bits), someone recommend us to use Data Integrator but i don't really know this application.
Anyway ODI 11.1.X.X could it be installed in x64:
All Oracle Fusion Middleware products that are indicated as certified on x64 processor based Oracle Linux 5.5 or 5 Update 5+, 64 bit operating system, are also supported on Exalogic X2-2.
What's is the different between OWB and ODI?
I read about it and see that ODI is powerfull and it apply "Data Quality" better than OWB, is it right?
Is it possible to exp/imp with metadata loader move metadates between OWB and ODI?Hi,
well, the basic difference is hard to tell. ODI is based on so called knowledge module. This are implementations for physical access to all kind different database technologies (among ohter things). Therefore ODI used to be more flexible extracting data from different database technologies and also writing to them. But with OWB 11.2, these knowledge modules were integrated into owb as so-called template mappings. OWB has a stronger integration with the Oracle database and an Oracle database is always required. Oracle plans to integrate these two tools into one some day, whenever that will be. ODI offers more options for data quality (that are charged extra).
So technically, the two tools are not that different. They have different user interfaces anyway.
A big difference is the license. A basic version of OWB is included with the database license, so it can be used without extra charge. Most of our customers are using this version, even for large dwh implementations. If you buy am ETL license (or already have one), you may use both tools.
Before you decide on one of the tools, make sure you have enough manpower with the required skill available - internal or external.
Hope this helps,

Problem in import of MetaData file in Oracle Warehouse Builder 9.2
My Problem is Related to Oracle WareHouse Builder.My system's configuration is following :-
Machine : P4
Operating System :Windows XP
ORacle : Version 9.2
Oracle WareHouse Builder 9.2
Ram :1GB
SGA Size :Approximately 650M
I have 2 MetaData files which I have to import into OWB.
First file's size is 9M.It got imported properly in 4 minutes without any error.
2nd File's Size is 30M.when
I start importing this MEtaData file.It goes upto 35% in Progress Bar.But after that it does not show any improvement.
I have left the machine running with this option upto 24 hours.
But nothing happened .It still shows only 35%.
I have checked log file/Trace file/Alert log files ,but there is no error in these files.
If any body have any solution about it,Please reply ASAP.I am stucked in this problem from last 7-8 days.
Waiting for reply
Thanks & Regards
Harvinder SinghThanks 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.

Warehouse Builder - Workflow - How to integrate both?
Hi All
I have installed Oracle Workflow Server in a SUN machine; and the Oracle
Workflow Client (Builder) in a WIN2000 machine.
In the SUN machine, I already had installed Oracle9i and OMS (Oracle
Management Server) version 9.2.0.1.0.
In the WINDOWS 2000 machine, I already had installed the Oracle9i
Client and the OWB (Oracle Warehouse Builder) version 9.0.3.35.0. Workflow Builder
was installed together with Oracle Client components.
I have a OWB (Oracle Warehouse Builder) project, and I deploy and schedule JOBS in OEM.
Now I need Oracle Workflow in order to better ordering, manage and schedule that jobs.
I'm reading the following documentation:
Oracle Workflow Guide (Release 2.6.2)
http://www.csis.gvsu.edu/GeneralInfo/Oracle/workflow.920/a95265.pdf
But I think Oracle Workflow is very complex to learn quickly.
My OWB Project has several mappings that load tables in a Data Warehouse.
When I deploy these mappings one by one, in OEM, I can execute them in OEM
and they work well.
But when I use the Workflow Deployment Wizard, I create a new Workflow
Project (Item type and Process).
But I can't Launch this process. I go to Launch Process in Workflow page
(http://<my_machine>:<port>/pls/<WorkDAD>/) but when I iniciate the project,
it stops in the OWB Standard Begin Function. It does not go ahead.
Well, when I use the Workflow Deployment Wizard inside OWB, it generates jobs that can
be viewed inside OEM (Oracle Enterprise Manager) too. But when I submit
these jobs, I can't get success too.
Can somebody help me? May you guide me in order to solve my problem, or send me some
documents or links about workflow, and it's integration with OWB and OEM?
Best regards

[email protected]Mark, I've already made the steps you suggested.
As it did not works yet, I will explain step by step what I've made, and the versions of the softwares:
In my Win2000 machine (development) I have installed:
- OWB version "9.0.3.33.0" and updated it to "9.0.3.35.0". (in a Oracle9iDS ORACLE_HOME).
- the OEM version "9.2.0.1.0" and Oracle Workflow Builder version "2.6.1.5.2" (in a Oracle9i ORACLE_HOME), both were installed with Oracle9i Client. Here maybe an error is the OWF Builder version, is there an newer version of it?
In a SUN SOLARIS machine (the server) we have installed:
- OMS version "9.2.0.1.0".
- OWF Server version "2.6.2" (installed with Oracle "9.0.2.1").
- Apache HTTP Server version "1.3" (also installed with Oracle "9.0.2.1").
- The repository for OWB, OEM and OWF (both 3 are different schemas in one database), and the target Warehouse (another database) are installed in this machine (SUN) too.
Well, working in my OWB project I can normaly deploy my tables, views and mappings in the target warehouse.
I can also run these jobs (generated by OWB) and they populate the Warehouse tables. It is exactly what I need, but now I need to schedule and order these jobs in workflow, you know.
When I run the Workflow Deployment Wizard (in OWB), in the "connect information for the Workflow Server" screen, I fill in with the "owf_mgr" username and its password. In the next screen I choose one or more mappings.
Next, suppose I fill in the Workflow Item Type as WIT_DW and the Workflow Process as WP_DW.
And in the last screen, I check the option "Deploy the Workflow Process into OEM".
It generates 4 jobs in OEM:
- WIT_DW_OWB_STD_BEGIN
- WIT_DW_OWB_STD_END
- WIT_DW_OWB_STD_ERROR
- WIT_DW_WP_DW
Next, I go to the Oracle Workflow Builder, open the project I've created (in the Database), make the flow, and save the project.
Next, I come back to the OEM and Submit the "WIT_DW_WP_DW" job, but it does not work. So, there's something wrong yet.
About the Workflow Queue Listener:
- Together with OWB 9.0.33.3.0 installation, there's the directory "extras\wfql_unix". I copied this directory contents inside "$ORACLE_HOME" in SUN.
- Inside OWB, in the Warehouse Module, in the "Configuration Properties DATA_WAREHOUSE" screen, I filled in the "Run
Time Directories > Queue Listener Directory" field with "/disk1/oracle/owb/bin/solaris". (It's the local where the workflowqlsnr.sh is located). And in the field "Queue Listener Host" I put the name of the SUN machine.
- But I can't run the workflowqlsnr.sh with success. Some java errors occurs. Is there anything to do or configure yet?
More questions (Please I'd very glad if you could help me):
- Is there some thing I need to configure in the Workflow Manager page?
(http://[machine]:[port]/servlets/em/oam/wfm/wfmLogin$tns_address=)
E.g., change or add Background Engine / Agent Listener / Queue Propagation / Purge.
- Is there some thing I need to configure in the Workflow home page?
(http://[machine]:[port]/pls/[WorkDAD]/wfa_html.home)
- How do I erase the Workflow Items Type in the Workflow Home Page? I runned the "workflowqclr.sh" but it didn't erase.
Thanks again

Adriano,
In order to manage the dependencies between the mappings using Oracle Workflow you have to do the following:
- Deploy your mappings (PL/SQL into the database; ABAP to the SAP machine; SQL loader on to the target database's file system).
- Register all mappings in OEM (that is, using the tcl scripts and the OEM register button).
- Run the Workflow deployment wizard to create the process steps in Oracle Workflow. At the end of the wizard, you can choose to create Workflow jobs to invoke the process flow.
- Use Workflow Builder to build the actual process flow (so far you have only created the process steps). Save the process.
- Either use OEM to submit the process or use the workflowqlsnr.sh to invoke the workflow queue listener manually. In order to use OEM, make sure you have set the Workflow Queue listener path correctly in the configuration of the target module.
Then... figgers crossed... it should work.
Hope this helps,

Hi
Im new to Warehouse builder and as of now, i've installed Oracle10G warehouse builder. Now i've started working on OWB Client. But i dont know the original purpose of it and other components present in it. Can anybody pls guide me the work flow of warehouse builder and its components. Please guide me on this or give me some reference docs or the work flow to easily understand it. I've the documents that come along with installation but that seems to be too huge and a difficult one to follow for the beginner. so pls give some guidance
Regards
S. KokilaIndeed, OWB is an ideal tool for this.
The ETL process you need to transfer from one database to another can be implemented using OWB. The name, Warehouse Builder, can be a little misleading. You do not have to be building a data warehouse, but OWB is still the tool for the job.
You can use OWB to design the star schema target, design and implement the ETL process (Extraction, Transformation and Loading) to transfer the data from the OLTP schema(s) to the star schema(s) or straight into Oracle OLAP. -
Deploy on Warehouse builder hangs after validations sucessfull (ora-01017)
Hello,
i've a problem with deploying the mappings on warehouse builder.
I know what's causing it, but i cannot find out how can i fix it.
Ive a database registered as "target" (not same bd where OWB repository is), where i want to deploy the mappings, that database has been registered with and user (SISED).
All is working fine until the password of this user SISED has been changed. Know when i try to do the deploy OWB ask me for the autentification of the runtime repository (owbrt_user), then it sucessfully validate the mapping, but when it tries to deploy (generate the package) it fails with ORA-01017 - Invalid Username/Password.
This is because somewhere in owb repository, the password of user SISED remains the old one. I've try to put SISED password as the old one, and after it works.
So my question is how can i change the password registered on OWB for the target database's user SISED. I try to do it with OWB client, but i cannot see this option in any place.
My mail is: [email protected] (if need some more detail for help me).
Thanks in advance,

In Control Center locate the location, right click and choose register. Think this might be the case, unless I've totally misunderstood you.

Problem getting DB Link to work with Warehouse Builder ...
Warehouse builder has a new Module wizard that attempts
to create a database link to a source Metadata Data Dictionary.
When I enter the DB link parameters after selecting 'New DB
Link'
I get a successful confirmation however when I try to click
on the 'Next' button on the wizard window I get 'Connection
Validation failed - the database link is incorrect'.
How is it that I success in creating a link then it fails
when I try to move to the next step in the wizard?
I tried many different ways of creating db links that I have
tested successfully but don't work within Warehouse Builder.
My environment is simple, both my Oracle 8i and Warehouse
Builder
are on the same machine and installed in the same home
directory.
Any suggestions would be appreciated.Hi max7539! I recommend that you try setting up a new Wi-Fi connection to your phone on your camera from scratch, then see if the new app does not recognize the camera. After setting this up from scratch, does the Camera Connect app still not see the camera? If this is a time sensitive-matter, additional support options are available at Contact Us.
