ODI file data store

Hi all

I have a confusion about the physical and logical length in the ODI file data store.

I have a fixed-width file where a c2 col had datatype as string (30).

I've set this column in the data as string store > physical length 30 > logic length 30

My interface failed with error as '.

ORA-12899: value too large for column 'S0_IDM '. «C$ _0S0_EAGLE_DWHCDC_CHRG_MST ".» "" "C2_CHARGE_DESC" (real: 31, maximum: 30).

When I increased the logical length to 255, the interface worked fine.

Being always the same 30 physical length.

How different is it?

Any help on this will be appreciated.

Thanks and greetings

Reshma

This isn't the official documentation, but here's my point of view, after a few moments of reflection

Everything you do in the ODI Designer is inspired by the logical architecture. Only when running it manifested in a physical implementation i.e. connection strings are materialized etc. When you perform an integration ODI creates usually a few temporary tables prefixed with C$, I$ etc to be able to perform the necessary data movement and the transformations needed to, for example, to fill a data target (table) store. In your example, your flat file is materialized in such a temporary table before that its content is manipulated (or not) and loaded in the target data store. When ODI generates this code that he uses the logical length emitted in the DDL that generates temporary table column lengths, the physical column is ignored.

Now in your scenario is not a problem as constraints such as these do not matter to the physical file version knowledge if you were to write to the file, that it would not matter if you wrote return 255 characters or 31. This could be a problem if you were using database tables and varying the logical vs physical lengths but generally you reverse engineer tables from database using ODI rather than manually doing so makes better.

Anyway, in short, I think that the logical lengths should be taken as representative which will manifest itself in the materialization of the temporary objects used to manged / transform the data from the source models (tables$ CAN) and target (I have tables$) while the physical lengths indicate what the underlying physical representation of these models are in reality.

EDIT: after reading some logical documentation actually represents the length while physics is related the number of bytes required to store the data. Therefore, you could have a situation with multibyte characters where the physical length could be greater than the logical length but not really the other way around.

  • Unable to display data from a csv file data store

    Hi all

    I'm using ODI 11 g. I'm trying to import metadata from a csv file. To do this, I have created physical and logical diagrams corresponding. Context is global.

    Then, I created a model and a data store. Now, after reverse engineering data store, I got the file headers and I changed the data type of columns to my requirement and then tried to view the data in the data store. I am not getting any error, but can't see all the data. I am able to see only the headers.

    Even when I run the interface that loads data into a table, its operation without error, but no data entered...

    But the data is present in the source file...

    Can you please help me how to solve this problem...

    Hi Phanikanth,

    Thanks for your reply...

    I did the same thing that you suggested...

    In fact, I'm working on the ODI in UNIX environment. So I went for the record separator on UNIX option in the files of the data store tab and now its works well...

    in any case, once again thank you for your response...

  • SWAP file data store remove issue

    Hello

    I'm currently moving VMs to the data store newly created as well the datastore file swap. I have already change on all ESXi hosts, the data store were swap file will reside, however, I have still a few virtual machines on the old data store. I know not if I vMotion virtual machines from one host to another it will change the location for the swap file. My question is, can I just remove the old data store without affecting production not VMs remained the swapfile on the old location? Just try to find a solution faster than vMotion every single one of the virtual machines.

    Thanks for any suggestions or comments!

    Chris

    Hello

    As long as all hosts are no longer using the data store and the cluster is not defined using volume swapfile host (rather than storing with VM) then you should be able to disassemble the old swap partition.

    Bare in mind, vMotion/svMotion a virtual computer, you must be sure to move all the files and the virtual machine is set to store his exchange with the virtual machine files. Check that the old swap partition is no longer in use, and then take it apart. In theory the fastest way is to ensure that all VMs are defined to store swap with virtual machine files to the off and on again, forcing a new .vswp file in the same device. But it would of course affect your VM availability.

    I've seen in the past that even if the volume was no longer used by the guests, that guests required a restart until I managed to remove the old Exchange store data, just in case you meet that!

    Yes, it's more or less what will happen, however all guests will have its own file of heartbeat on the datastore (s) of the heart rate and will update those every second. If a slave disappears from the management network that the master will look at the file of heartbeat of the slaves as a kind of "second opinion."

    If the file is intact too he will declare the slave as dead and VMs were revived.

    If the file is always updating the master knows the slave is alive, but isolated from the network. It will depend on the response of Isolation strategy what's going to happen.

  • automatic change of files to store data

    Hello

    I have a stand-alone system that works with 7 serial ports.

    I need to store a huge amount of data (115,200 Kbaud / port) because the system must continue to work for a week.

    In two days, I have a file size of over 500Mbytes. The problem is that I'm storing the data in a .txt file and then, when I want to the process, with the data, the computer laptop can´t open a file so the size.

    I can´t find a way in which the vi can change in real-time (himself) the file to store the data.
    Maybe the way is to create 3-4 files before the while loop (in which I read the data), and then change the file in which to store the data, but I can´t find a way to do it. With the get_file_size.vi that I know when I need to change the file, but how I have to do without leaving the whole loop? In my view, necessary to ensure that the visa_read.vi works...

    maybe better or another format or way to store data?

    It does not matter of data loss while changing the file.

    Someone at - it an idea?

  • Flat VMDK files after trying to delete files from data store

    I tried to delete a VMDK file in a data store, because I thought that it was not in use, and I need space. I couldn't get the VM you are looking for the name of the VMDK file, so I thought that the VM has disappeared. Turns out that someone had renamed the virtual machine, when it was actually being used, so I could not remove the VMDK file.

    I searched for the files with Powershell in a data store, and that's how I found this mysterious file in the first place.

    After giving me the error that it couldn't be deleted, the file does not appear in the search more and the name of the file has been replaced by *-dish. VMDK, I think, and the column by specifying the Type just said file, instead of virtual disk. In addition, files not included in the research more.

    Today, a day after, everything is back to normal. Everyone knows this behavior before and could tell me what happened?

    Each virtual disk is actually 2 files: VMname.vmdk and VMname - flat hard

    Unfortunately, the data store browser displays only the VMname... VMDK, but it gives the properties of VMname - flat hard. Use PuTTY, connect to the ESXi host via ssh, navigate to the folder of the virtual machine and use: the - lahtr to list the contents of an authoritarian way. You can also run: - ch to check actual use.

    Welcome to the community,

    There was a current discussion on VMs rename (change the name of files and folders in data warehouses) which also contains links to some articles in the KB. However, in your case, the virtual machine has an active snapshot, and you should definitely remove the snapshot before you rename the virtual computer!

    BTW. where the virtual machine is managed in a vCenter server environment, you can automatically rename the virtual machine by changing the name of the virtual machine in the inventory of the GUI and then he migrate to another data store.

    This leaves the computer virtual on the data store but not used. I have since removed this privilege among the offending users but I need to do a bit of cleaning.

  • Move the location of the VM swap file in another data store

    Hi all

    Was in a task to move the 1000 to the file location of VM swap on another data store which is newly assigned to Exchange us to the existing store database file that will be decommissioned.

    Eager to check if anyone has made movement swap of VM location of the files to a data store to another and that all measures taken to move.

    Require some VM downtime?

    Thanks in advance a ton.

    Yes it is possible without interruption of service to virtual machines.

    1. make sure that your cluster is configured to use swap data store specified by host

    2. take a host in the cluster in maintenance mode, change the location of the VM configuration file to point to the new data store

    3. do this for all hosts in the cluster

    When you vMotion a VM from one host to another the swap file will get moved to the new data store. Later when you take guests to the maintenance and return output mode, vMotion occurs for each computer in the cluster virtual and file is moved.
