Warehouse builder help

When trying to install the OWB (oracle ver 8.1.6) the following error is occuring while creating the repository :
Seeding error (at 14%). Error during install of seed data while seeding the database.
The schema is properly set up and necessary permissions have been given to the ID. There is ample allocated tablespace for the repository. Any thoughts on how I can handle this error. Thanks in advance Raman

You need to give the user who will own the repository dba and imp_full_database roles. Once the repository is installed, you can revoke these roles.

Why Warehouse Builder

If the source of all my data is an Oracle DB - data is replicated from different Oracle DB's into a single Oracle DB through shareplex replication(E of ETL is done),
Q1) Will Warehouse builder be of any help if my data souce is just Oracle?
Q2) Will Warehouse builder help me in doing the T and L OF ETL?
Q3) How is warehousebuilder better than using normal pl/sql?

I am glad to see some independent responses to this question already. The question of hand-coding vs automated code-generation surfaces periodically from users, but you will find that the industry has moved on from that debate years ago, i.e there is a consensus that the advantages of code generation outweigh the disadvantages many times over. You can easily find vendor independent validation of this in press, analyst reports and expert opinions. For example here is a expert panel discursion in DM Review http://www.dmreview.com/article_sub.cfm?articleId=7198 Note that the only disadvantage mentioned is the high prices of some of the competing ETL products. This is not applicable to Oracle Warehouse Builder, which remains one of the most affordable products in this market.
Amongst OWB-specific collateral on advantages over hand-coding, take a look at this white paper http://otn.oracle.com/products/warehouse/pdf/business_introduction_to_warehouse_builder.pdf On pages 7 and 8 there are tables listing each area where OWB excels over hand-coding. To summarize this in a few words, by using Warehouse Builder you gain productivity in both initial design and deployment as well as in subsequent change management and operational control of your data warehouse. In the process you get the most optimized, debuggable and auditable code.

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.

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??

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.

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?

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.

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,
Bilal

Hi,
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.

Roald

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.

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,
regards,
Pedro Ribeiro

Hi,
Have you tried to re-register the location in the Control Center?
In Control Center locate the location, right click and choose register. Think this might be the case, unless I've totally misunderstood you.

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.

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.

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...

How scaler query works in warehouse builder

suppose i have two tables. 1 is salary, the other is overtime. Salary is given by each employee but few of them are given overtime. i solve this in SQL like this
" SELECT S.EMPLOYEECODE,S.DEPTCODE,S.DESIGID,S.GROSSPAY,
(SELECT O.AMOUNT
FROM OVERTIME_CALCULATION O
WHERE O.EMPLOYEECODE = S.EMPLOYEECODE
AND O.OVERTIME_DATE = S.SALDATE) OVERTIME
FROM YTOD_SAL S, EMPLOYEES E
WHERE S.EMPLOYEECODE = 'D2194'
AND E.EMPLOYEECODE = S.EMPLOYEECODE "
how can i solve this in warehouse builder,
plz help me...
thanks in advance

Yes. Everybody has right. your query is an outer join.
This SQL (which is approximately yours)
select t.*, (select c1 from t2 where t2.key1 = t.key1) c1,
(select c2 from t3 where t3.key1 = t.key2) c2
from tis the same that :
select t.*, t2.c1, t3.c3
from t, t2, t3
where t.key1 = t2.key1 (+)
and t.key2 = t3.key2 (+)Thus transform your query in an outer join and use a joiner operator.
Just a question. What is scaler query ?
Success
