Warehouse builder mapping

how to populate data using warehouse builder using
transformations from stage table to fact table.My problem is
that only those records are inserted which have the
transformations satisfied but not the others. So how do i give a
join condition to overcome this.

Hi
I hope I can help you out but couldn't get your problem
correctly. It would be more clear if you can cite an example.

Oracle warehouse builder error when I execute any mapping

oracle warehouse builder error when I execute any mapping:
I have installed OWB successfuly, It still no longer working correctly: it executed all the mappings, but it suddenly becomes incapable to execute any mappings in any project. It validates successfuly the mappings but in the execution it show the message :
" ora-06550 : ligne1 colonne19..."
please help me to correct this error.
thank you.

Make sure that there is no primary key or index on this table who exceed the limit.

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

ORA-06502 pl/sql in Oracle warehouse builder

Hi,
I have a problem with using Name and Address operator in Oracle Warehouse builder. When I mapped a table which has more than 7735 rows to another table.
I will get the error "ORA-06502: PL/SQL: numeric or value error: character string buffer too small".
How can I solve this problem?
Thanks a lot!

The problem is happening again.
When it happens, if I quit and I start again Oracle XE, the problem does not happen at first, but happens again after a while (the duration before the error is not always the same). If I increase the number of lines that are printed for the result of a request, I can induce the error; if I decrease the number of lines, the error is not happening.
Here is one of the request (that request returns about 5000 rows) that cause the error, and the complete error message:

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.

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.

Problem with Starting with Oracle Warehouse Builder 11g Release 1

Hello,
I want to do the training modules for owb. I installed Oracle Databes 11g2 and was attempting to load all the demo files from the learning module Starting with Oracle Warehouse Builder 11g Release 1 (http://st-curriculum.oracle.com/obe/db/11g/r1/owb/owb11g_update_getting_started_intro/lesson1/less1_start.htm)
I get an error during the running of the tcl scripts in omb plus. Everything works until the last files in which an object cannot be found. I get the following error:
OMB02923: Attribute TIMES_CAL_MONTH_CODE of group SALES of operator SALES_OUT does not exist.
The only reference i can find to this is in the load_sales.tcl file from the zip-file and i have no idea what is going wrong. As a result 5 mappings are missing in the end result (all LOAD_.. mappings)
Can anyone assist me with this problem and provide a solution?
thank you in advance

Additional information after looking at the tcl files and the data in OWB that was loaded.
The section where the error occurs connects two parts of a mapping, the OUTGRP1 and the SALES_OUT. THe SALES_OUT is based upon the cube Sales. This cube contains all the data that is being connected except for the 'TIMES_CAL_MONTH_CODE'. I have no idea based upon the code of the creation of the cube where they take the data from. None of the connected attributes is named specifically. The cube also contains the several groups, one of these is time. If you open the details of the group the list of input attributes lists the needed attribute but it is not listed seperatly like all the others that are connected for the mapping. Does anybody have an idea how to solve the problem based on this extra information and the code listed below.
Code connecting outgrp1 and sales_out:
OMBALTER MAPPING 'LOAD_SALES' \
ADD CONNECTION FROM ATTRIBUTE 'AMOUNT' OF GROUP 'OUTGRP1' OF OPERATOR 'AGGREGATOR' \
TO ATTRIBUTE 'AMOUNT' OF GROUP 'SALES' OF OPERATOR 'SALES_OUT'\

ADD CONNECTION FROM ATTRIBUTE 'FINISH_MONTH' OF GROUP 'OUTGRP1' OF OPERATOR 'AGGREGATOR' \
TO ATTRIBUTE 'TIMES_CAL_MONTH_CODE' OF GROUP 'SALES' OF OPERATOR 'SALES_OUT'
Code for creating the cube:

Varrays in Warehouse Builder?

Our staging table, stored in designer, has a column which is of type varray. When we attempt to import this meta-data from designer, warehouse builder ignores those columns of type varray. Does warehouse builder support varrays? If so, how?
Thank you,
Robin

OWB does not currently support Varrays. The support for Varrays and other user defined types is tentatively scheduled for the version scheduled to be released by the towards the end of this year, code-named Paris.
At the moment, the user must define a view atop of similar tables taht maps the user data types to scalars and extract from these views.

Warehouse Builder Error

Hi all,
I am facing a warehouse builder error during validation of a map. The map is created to populate a target dimension from a source table. Whenever i validated the map this error message is coming-
Warehouse Builder Error
MMM1034: Property LOAD_COLUMN_WHEN_INSERTING_ROW does not exist.
Can anyone tell me something about this error and how can i solve this error? Plzz reply.
Thanks & Regards,
Sumanta

Hi
"MMM1034: <property name> does not exist" means exactly what it says the property does not exist. I generally get it when scripting and I have not done things in the right order e.g. tried to set a property that only exists in certain configurations and not yet set the mapping to that configuration.
Check the configuration of your mapping. Otherwise if it's a small mapping I generally find it easier to start from scratch rather than looking for the option that is incorrectly set.
Cheers
Ian
