Warehouse builder example schemas

Hi
I have created warehouse builder repository own and during the creation i have added SH schema. I was expecting that i will be able to see its dimension, rule etc but nothing
what are the other example schema i can add for practice
thank
regards
Nick

OK, a few quick points...
1. Build a 'location' that can access the SH schema.
2. In your OWB project, expand the Oracle database node and build an oracle database module...this module should ideally use the SH schema 'location' connector you just created.
3. At this point you can import the SH data and objects into OWB through that database module.(import option).
If what you want is to see real dimensions, and cubes (facts) that are already pre-built, go to the links that the poster above has mentioned (the oracle by example ones). In those pages, they will link to several different .MDL files you may import. These store metadata already for a pre-built project that allowes you to see mappings with real dimensions and cubes (facts).

Target Schema creation with Warehouse Builder

Hi,
I have installed Oracle Enterprise 9.2.0.1.0 and Warehouse Builder 9.2.0.2.8.
The repository, the runtime and the target schema have been created without problem.
I also have created some test jobs and everything run fine.
My question is:
Can we create a target schema without those tables
CREATE$JAVA$LOB$TABLE,
JAVA$CLASS$MD5$TABLE,
WB_RT_EXCEPTIONS,
WB_RT_PARAMETERS,
WB_RT_PLATFORM_CONFIG,
WB_RT_PLATFORM_PROPERTIES,
WB_RT_POSTLOAD_EXCEPTIONS,
WB_RT_SEEDED_STRINGS,
WB_RT_TIME_SRC.
Thanks for your answers.

Theoretically you can, but you need these objects accessible from the mapping code, as they log information in these tables.
So you can create synonyms into the target schema, just make sure you have the correct privileges (complete read/write).

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.

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.

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.

How to register user in Warehouse Builder

Hi All,
I have installed OWB 11g in my machine. I have created repository owner user in OLAP schema. In my process flows few flows are related to "OLAP instance" and few flows are related to "OLTP instance". Now I want to register my OLTP user present in OLTP instance, but when I start the wizard for registering user I get only OLAP instance users.
Please let me know how can I register my OLTP user of OLTP instance.
Is there any way to register database user manually in warehouse builder i.e. without using register user wizard?
Thanks
VishalS

Hi,
create the users as repos-owner in the design center or grant the roles to an existing db user. Don't make them to TARGET users!
Then selct the project, right mouse-click opens the context menue, select configuration, select the security tab and revoke all permissions except read from this users.

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

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,
Mark.

Idea on Warehouse builder

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. Kokila

Indeed, 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.

How to run a unix script from oracle warehouse Builder

Hi,
can any one share the information about, running the unix script or scripts using oracle warehouse builder.
Regards,
Ak

One way is define a workflow. Inside the workflow you put
1)an external process that "points to" the shell script and then
2)put the mapping
The external process must have the "COMMAND" parameter set to the name of the shell script. If the script has parameters you must put them in the "PARAMETERS LIST" separated by "?" (for example, ?par1?par2).
The path where OWB executes the external process I think is the ORACLE_HOME of the OWB.
f you don't use workflow, you can try with this more complex solution. I tried with 9i and OWB 9.2 and it's working well.
You create an autonomous procedure (within a package or not) :
CREATE PROCEDURE Extract_Email_List
DECLARE
PRAGMA AUTONOMOUS_TRANSACTION;
And use the sys.shell script that you need your dba/unix admin to install first of all, with a call like that.
sys.shell('sh ' || txt_dir_name || '/send_email_marketing.sh ' || txt_dir_name || ' ' || email_addr );
Then you import your procedure into OWB and use it in your mapping with the "pre-mapping" icon (you can set parameters for your proc with constants if you want).
To implement sys.shell, go to metalink and find "Note:168065.1" - "How to call a UNIX shell script from PL/SQL".
Once it's done once, it's not so bad. But I would still recommend the workflow approach also..
I hope this helps.

Connecting Oracle Warehouse Builder to an Informix data source

I am having trouble connecting Oracle Warehouse Builder to my Informix database. I am getting error ORQ-28545. Here is what I did: Under Project Explorer I went to Non-Oracle under Datases. Then right click on Informix and selected New. In the Create Module Window I edit a the Location. Gave it a name, Set Type to HOST:PORT:SERVICE, enter my username, passowrd, my Host IP, left Port as default(1521), enter my Service Name, Enter the Schema. Click on Test Connection and got the above mentioned error.

Hi,
the first you should configure access to your Informix database at target Oracle DB (OWB works with non-Oracle DB over HS).
So you should perform all steps described in Oracle Database Heterogeneous Connectivity Administrator's Guide (4.1 Setting Up Access to Non-Oracle Systems):

Licensing about Oracle Warehouse Builder

Hi,
If we install trial version of oracle warehouse builder v 9.2 from oracle website, does anybody know whether all the functionalities of oracle warehouse builder are available or are there any restrictions in using the trial version of the oracle warehouse builder.
My second question is:
Do we need Oracle 9i database to install oracle warehouse builder.
After I installed Oracle warehouse builder when I clicked on start-->Programs-->Oracle 9i Developer Suite-->Warehouse builder-->OWB Client, when I open the OWB Client it's asking me for warehouse builder log on but it didn't ask for any username and password while I'm installing oracle warehouse builder. So, which username and password should I enter to log in to the OWB Client. And also can anyone please tell me what to enter into the Oracle Service name field.
Any help is appreciated.........
Thanks,
-Deepa.

There are no restriction in the warehouse builder version available from the OTN site. If you are using Warehouse Builder for commercial purposes (and if you want support and assistance from Oracle) you should pay for an Oracle Developer Suite license (as many of them as you have developers). currently it is $5000 per user (you also get JDeveloper, client Discoverer, BI beans etc.).
As for the OWB installation, you did not complete all the steps. After installing the software on your machine, you must install the design repository (this is when you will be asked to enter the user/password for the OWB client) and the runtime repository and schema (where you will deploy your data warehouse). For details, please read the installation and configuration guide (http://download.oracle.com/docs/html/B11000_02/toc.htm).

Analytic Workspace Manager vs Warehouse Builder

When is it best to use Analytic Workspace Manager over Warehouse Builder to create the OLAP? Please advise.

We are using OWB to create OLAP because you have your metadata properly defined in the design repository of OWB from where you can deploy to different databases and schemas. We are also using OWB to create tables and other relational objects instead of using SQL Developer or Toad to do so.
Nevertheless there are some restrictions when using OWB: You cannot create programs with OWB (e.g. for limiting access to certain objects), not all aggregation operators are supported (e.g. the weighted aggregation operators like WSUM are not supported by OWB), you cannot create models, ...
If you come to these restrictions you could write "after-deployment scripts", i.e. you deploy your dimensions and cubes from OWB and let the scripts do what you could not model with OWB.
Hope this helps!
