Warehouse Builder Requirements

Hi,
I've been looking on the oracle site for client software requirements for Warehouse Builder but can't find exact MS Windows versions.
Can Warehouse Builder run on a Windows 2000 Pro machine or does it have to be Windows 2000 Server ??.
Thanks
Paul

You can use Windows 2000/XP Pro client, but I would advice you to use a server as workstation due to the ridiculous requirements of OWB. Even 512 Mb is hardly enough to generate a medium to large project.

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

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.
regards,
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

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

Oracle Warehouse Builder

Dear buddies,
I need to migrate my tables and data from SQL Server 2005 to Oracle 10g.
My boss's requirement is I must be able to redo it at any point of time. Meaning, I should be able to use the script at any point to recreate the tables and reload them independently without using SQL Server or the existing configurations.
Does OracleWarehouse Builder provide such scripts after the migration or in the process of migration, which can be reused independently?
There are about 7 SQL Server databases and each has around 270 tables. Some would be totally new and some would involve merging.
Please advice me.
Thanks.
Nith

Hi everyone,
I tried to Just started like this
1 - Start - All programs - Oracle Home - Warehouse Builder - Administration - Repository Assitant - Basic Install -
2 - User Name=rep_user
password=rep_user
sysdba user name = sys
sysdba password = the password i gave during the database creation (using dbca)
hostname=localhost
port number = 1521
oracle service name = test6 (the name for the database & instance for which i just created)
When I click Next, this error pops us:
INS009: Unable to connect to the database with user SYS. jaba.sql.SQLException: IO Exception: The Network adapter could not establish the connection.
The remaining disk space for that drive is few gigs and I have created the database with the 16384.
Please advice on how I should go about this.
I have been struggling to perform my migration. I really hope someone would be able to guide me through.
OS: Windows 2003 Enter Edition
Oracle 10g
And I am not able to access anything from SQL Plus after I installed Oracle Warehouse Builder.
So, is the error I am facing something like to do with a bad installation? Do I need to uninstall my OWB or uninstall my oracle and OWB and reinstall them?
Please guide me.
Nith
Thanks a lot.

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

Warehouse Builder Install

I am new to Warehouse Builder and relatively new to Oracle, but not to database/software. I am involved in a study trying to determine if OWB 10g might be useful in my current project. However, I am not having any luck in installing OWB.
I believe I am following the install direction correctly, but I find that I keep running into problems. The documentation says that only the 10g database needs to be installed, but I keep finding that other elements need to be installed in order for the OWB install to continue (e.g HTTP server, portal).
Can anyone provide (or point me to) clear step-by-step instruction on installing OWB 10g on a clean system (or on a system with ONLY the Oracle Database 10g installed).
Thank you

Good morning Chuck,
I've performed a clean install of OWB10g on a basic 10g install on my laptop (no HTTP server etc) but no problems there.
Have you checked the Installation and Configuration Guide for basic requirements? Especially Chapter 1 and Appendix A.
Available at http://www.oracle.com/technology/documentation/warehouse.html

Installation of WareHouse Builder

Hi,
I need to know like installing WareHouse Builder, that I need to have installed and that it requires to work correctly. Ademas, desire to know if something manual in Spanish exists, of installation and use.
Thanks.

Hi Aleksander (?),
The screenshots are about Oracle Enterise Manager, not OWB.
The message below "Database Instance: orcl" implies that the database hasn't properly started since OEM can't connect to the database instance.
I suggest you take this up with the database forum.
Good luck, Patrick
ps the 3rd link doesn't work right now

Oracle warehouse builder and windows vista

Hello All, I need to install oracle warehouse builder on PC with Windows Vista but Oracle Setup close installation program because it find JavaVirtualMachine (JRE) rel.6.0 but it need max jre 5.2.
How i can do for installing oracle warehouse builder ver. 10.2.1 ????
thanks for your answer
Marco Frosini

Hi,
I guess Marco confused the Installer message
==============
Starting Oracle Universal Installer...
Checking installer requirements...
Checking operating system version: must be 4.0, 5.0, 5.1 or 5.2 . Actual 6.0
Failed <<<<
Exiting Oracle Universal Installer, log for this session can be found at C:\Prog
ram Files\Oracle\Inventory\logs\installActions2007-07-08_12-43-29PM.log
Please press Enter to exit...
===========================
As I see it, It checkes the OS version, which is 6.0 for Vista (an internal version no), however, the installer supports only till 5.2. By my understanding its not the JRE version, but the OS version.
Besides this small misinterpretation, Has anybody found any way of installing OWB on Vista ?? I have Vista business on a HP laptop, and I NEED to run OWB...
All help is greatly appreciated...

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,
Carsten.

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 Singh

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.

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.
