Setting Up the Oracle Warehouse Builder 11g
Release 2 Tutorial Environment
Purpose
This tutorial covers the setup and configuration steps you must perform to set up the Oracle
Warehouse Builder 11g Release 2 tutorial environment. In this tutorial, you also create different
workspace owners to login to the OWB Design Client.
Time to Complete
Approximately 40 minutes
Overview
In this tutorial, you learn how to download and execute the setup files to configure the
Warehouse Builder environment. You also use the OWB Repository Assistant to create three
different workspace and workspace owners for logging in to the Oracle Warehouse Builder
Design Client. Using the Design Client, you then import predefined OWB projects.
In this tutorial, you define three different OWB Project environments for the following set of
tutorials. This tutorial is a prerequisite for the following tutorials:
1 . Improved User Interface, Usability, and Productivity With OWB 11g R2
2 . Handling Flat File and COBOL Copybook Sources in Mappings
3 . Using Data Transformation Operators with Source and Target Operators
4 . Working with Pluggable Mappings
5 . Examining Source Data Using Data Profiling
Note: The tutorials 2, 3, and 4 listed above use the same OWB project..
Prerequisites
Before starting this tutorial, you should:
1 . Have access to or have Installed Oracle Database 11g Release 2 on Linux platform.
Note: In this tutorial, you use the OWB that is installed with the Oracle Database 11g Release 2.
In Oracle Database 11g Release 2, OWB is integrated and is installed in the Oracle Database
home.
If you want to use the latest OWB 11g Release 2 with an older version of the database such as
the Oracle Database 11g Release 1 or Oracle Database 10g Release 2, you need to install the
standalone OWB software on the client and perform certain extra steps to create/upgrade the
OWBSYS repository on the database.
Downloading the Setup Files
To download the setup files, perform the following steps:
1 . Open folder owb_setup
Note that the owb_setup folder contains three .mdl files and a folder, dp_setup_files. In the
dp_setup_files folder, there are files required to setup the environment for the "Examining
Source Data Using Data Profiling" tutorial.
2 . Optionally, for easy access to the .mdl files when you import them, you may want to copy all the
three .mdl files to the [ORACLE_HOME]/owb/mdl folder.
Note: For this tutorial, the ORACLE_HOME is assumed to be
/u01/app/oracle/product/11.2.0/dbhome_1
3 . Create a desktop launcher for the OWB Design Center. Right-click on your Linux desktop and
select Create Launcher. Enter the launcher name as OWB Design Center. Browse to the
[ORACLE_HOME]/owb/bin folder and select owb.sh. Click OK.
4 . Browse to the [ORACLE_HOME]/jlib/ folder and delete the oracle_ice.jar file.
Note: Start Page bug: In the Oracle Warehouse Builder integrated installation that is included
with Oracle Database 11.2, links from the new Start Page included in the Design Center do not
function properly. This problem does not affect the Oracle Warehouse Builder standalone
installation. The online help bug and its workaround is mentioned in the OWB 11.2 Release
Notes. Deleting the oracle_ice.jar file will resolve the issue and you will be able to browse the
links in the Start page.
5 . Note: If you are using an older version of the database, you may skip this step for now.
Refer to the topic, "Using Standalone OWB 11.2 with Oracle Database 11g Release 1 or Oracle
Database 10g Release 2" for further setup instructions.
Unlock the OWBSYS user. Login as a sys as sysdba user. Open a terminal window and
enter the following commands:
sqlplus sys/[password] as sysdba
alter user owbsys identified by owbsys account unlock;
Note: If you are using OWB server installation that is integrated with the Oracle Database 11.2,
skip the following topic, "Using Standalone OWB 11.2 with Oracle Database 11g Release 1 or
Oracle Database 10g Release 2" and resume from the topic, "Creating Workspace and
Workspace Owners".
Using Standalone OWB 11.2 with Oracle Database 11g
Release 1 or Oracle Database 10g Release 2
If you want to use the latest Warehouse Builder software with an older version of the database,
you need to perform some extra steps to setup the OWB environment.
It is necessary to download the Oracle Warehouse Builder 11g Release 2 (11.2.0.1.0) Standalone
Software if you have any of the following needs:
You are installing OWB 11.2 and hosting an OWB Repository on one of: Oracle
