UPGRADE OWB COMPONENT TO THE DATABASE VERSION

OWB - ORACLE WAREHOUSE BUILDER

After I upgraded my database from 11.2.0.1 to 11.2.0.4, I found database component OWB was
not upgraded to 11.2.0.4 version. Our application is not using OWB but its possible to
upgrade OWB component by running following scripts.

# To Cleanup OWB repository and creating OWBSYS Schema with Repository Objects

$ cd $ORACLE_HOME/owb/UnifiedRepos

SQL>@<OH>/owb/UnifiedRepos/clean_owbsys.sql;
SYS>@<OH>/owb/UnifiedRepos/cat_owb.sql;

NOTE: To associate the Control Center with the correct OWB home, now run

owb/UnifiedRepos/reset_owbcc_home.sql. You must run the script as a user with java

admin privileges. For example, connect as sys as sysdba to run the script.

# Script ensures that Control Centre Service functions correctly

# Script forces the Control Service Centre to run from OWB 11.2 Installation

SYS>@?/owb/UnifiedRepos/reset_owbcc_home.sql;

Enter the full path of the Oracle home for the OWB Control Center install.

If you are installing in a Windows environment, please ensure that the case of the

path exactly matches the Oracle install path including the drive letter.

OWB COMMAND LEVEL SCRIPTS

The clean_owbsys.sql Script drops the OWBSYS schema and roles associated with it.

The cat_owb.sql Script checks if an OWBSYS schema exists, and creates it if necessary, and
then installs the objects required by OWB 11.2 repository. This may lock OWBSYS account.

The reset_owbcc_home.sql Script ensures that Oracle Warehouse Builder uses the 11.2 version
of the Control Center Service. It would ask full path $ORACLE_HOME to be entered.

Now OWB Component version has been upgraded to the database version.

# Check Version of OWB Component
