Copyright © 2007, Oracle. All rights reserved Role of a Warehouse Builder Administrator Warehouse Builder system administration involves: Monitoring and administering the Warehouse Builder repository Managing phased transitions, such as from development to QA to production Maintaining schema objects Performing backup and recovery of Warehouse Builder metadata and data Administering security privileges and permissions to repository users and target users Tuning the performance of ETL load processes Diagnosing and troubleshooting problems

Copyright © 2007, Oracle. All rights reserved Tasks Involved in Warehouse Builder Administration OWB repository Target warehouse Sources – Administer the repository – Perform metadata backup and recovery – Manage metadata changes – Tune performance of ETL processes (optional) – Maintain target schema objects – Manage repository and target users – Manage security privileges – Diagnose errors – Troubleshoot common issues

Copyright © 2007, Oracle. All rights reserved Steps for Setting Up the Warehouse Builder Environment 1.Verify the installation requirements. 2.Determine the environment configuration scenarios. 3.Prepare the server infrastructure (OS, Database). 4.Install optional components. 5.Install Warehouse Builder. 6.Create the Warehouse Builder repository.

Copyright © 2007, Oracle. All rights reserved Before Installing OWB: Verify the Installation Requirements Read the entire installation document before: –Choosing a configuration environment –Choosing the order of installation Verify hardware and software requirements. Start the installation. Oracle Warehouse Builder Installation and Configuration Guide

Copyright © 2007, Oracle. All rights reserved Environment Configuration Scenarios Various scenarios for installing and configuring the Warehouse Builder environment: Basic implementation Basic client/server Client/server implementation with separate design and run-time environments Remote run-time environment

Copyright © 2007, Oracle. All rights reserved Example of Basic Implementation: Stand-Alone Configuration Oracle Database 10g –Service name (SID) is orcl –Sample schemas installed Workflow Server – owf_mgr is the workflow schema. –Configured using the Workflow Configuration Assistant Warehouse Builder 10g R2 –Both client and server are installed. Student PC setup and configuration

Copyright © 2007, Oracle. All rights reserved Prepare the Server Infrastructure: Supported Operating Systems The Design Center client is supported on only Windows and Linux platforms. On UNIX platforms, only Warehouse Builder server components are supported. For an updated list of certified hardware platforms and operating system versions, review the certification matrix on the Oracle MetaLink Web site at Linux, UNIX, HP- UX PA-RISC,and IBM AIX Windows Operating System Both 32-bit and 64-bit architectures are supported. – Microsoft Windows XP, Microsoft Windows 2000, Windows Server 2003 Supports Linux x86 (Red Hat Enterprise Linux AS/ES, SLES, and Asianux, and SuSE LINUX Enterprise Server). Linux 64 bit is also supported. Requirements

Copyright © 2007, Oracle. All rights reserved Prepare the Server Infrastructure: Oracle Database Support Oracle Database is the earliest Oracle version to which Warehouse Builder 10g Release 2 can connect as a source. Oracle Database 9.2 or later (SE, SE1, or EE) is required for the Warehouse Builder 10g Release 2 repository. RDBMS XE is not supported (no Java in the database). 9 i OLAP is not supported with 10g Release 2 due to API changes in the DBMS. For updated list of certified hardware platforms and operating system versions, review the certification matrix on the Oracle MetaLink Web site at

Copyright © 2007, Oracle. All rights reserved Warehouse Builder 10g R2 Repository The Warehouse Builder repository is a database schema that stores: –Design metadata, including metadata definitions for all the sources, targets, and ETL processes –Run-time metadata, such as the run-time and deployment statistics, physical location information, and audit information of all the deployments and executions The repository is owned by a highly privileged user called the “repository owner.” Repository owners can register additional users as “repository users” who have controlled access to the central repository schema.

Copyright © 2007, Oracle. All rights reserved Job Functions of Repository Owners and Users The repository owner can define an intermediate “DBA” role. Users can then be assigned this role, allowing them to perform limited administrative tasks without the privileges of the repository owner.
