Upgrade the Database Component

This section details the steps to upgrade the Oracle Utilities Analytics Warehouse database component.

Copy and Decompress the Install Media

  1. Download Oracle Utilities Analytics Warehouse v2.8.0.2.0. Oracle Database part file (Oracle Utilities Analytics v2.8.0.2.0. Oracle Database Multiplatform.zip) from Oracle Software Delivery Cloud onto the target database server.  

  2. Create a temporary directory (example: </OUA/temp> for a Linux machine).  This directory (referred to as <TEMPDIR> below) must be located outside any current working Oracle Utilities application environment. All files that are placed in this directory as a part of the installation can be deleted after completing a successful installation.

  3. Unzip Oracle Utilities Analytics Warehouse v2.8.0.2.0. Oracle Database Multiplatform.zip to <TEMPDIR> using any zip utility.

  4. Execute the SQL below before installing the RELADM, MDADM, and DWADM Schemas. This provides the required permissions to the users created.

    Copy
    Usersgrants.sql in <TEMPDIR>/BI2802/Scripts/Usersgrants.sql

Install the RELADM Schema

  1. Log in to the target database server.

  2. Navigate to the temporary directory into which the Oracle Utilities Analytics Warehouse v2.8.0.2.0. Oracle Database Multiplatform zip file was extracted.

    Copy
    cd database/BI2802/RELADM/Install-Upgrade

  3. Review Storage.xml to ensure the RELADM user has quota on the mentioned tablespace in file. If not, edit the file with correct tablespace name.

    3. Click Run.

      Note: Select the appropriate context. If multiple contexts are configured, execute for each context separately.

  11. Disable all NMS facts and dimensions (including B1_BR_SW_PLAN_JOBS). This can be ensured by checking that there is no record for any entity in the B1_READY_VW view in the MDADM schema:

    Copy 
    select distinct entity_name from mdadm.b1_ready_vw;

  12. For Account Dimension (NMS) related changes, perform an incremental or complete load of data FROM NMS_ACCOUNTS_HISTORY table into the Account Dimension.

    Option 1: Incremental Data Load

    CD_ACCT dimension will load only the incremental data FROM NMS_ACCOUNTS_HISTORY table. The data which is already loaded in the dimension FROM CES_CUSTOMERS_HISTORY table will not be modified or updated and remains the same. The dependent facts will not be impacted while performing initial load.

    1. Ensure the NMS_ACCOUNTS_HISTORY is present in replication layer with data.

    2. Stop the GoldenGate REPLICAT.

    3. To load all the initial and incremental data FROM CES_CUSTOMERS_HISTORY table into the dimension, navigate to: Load Plans and Scenarios > Oracle Utilities BI > Shared > Dimensions > Account Dimension.

    4. On the Definition tab, double-click B1_PKG_NMS_CD_ACCT_UPTO_24013 Version 001 and rename it to B1_PKG_NMS_CD_ACCT Version 001.

    5. On the Definition tab, double-click B1_NMS_D_ACCT_VW_UPTO_24013 Version 001 and rename it (if not already done) to B1_NMS_D_ACCT_VW Version 001.

    6. Click Save.

    7. Run the View generation script for the configured NMS Context.

    8. Enable the entity active flag for CD_ACCT dimension and B1_RUN_ALL to load the Account dimension. This loads data from CES_CUSTOMERS_HISTORY until latest checkpoint.

    9. Ensure that the CD_ACCT dimension data loads are completed until the checkpoint date. The output of below queries should result in same date:

      Copy
      SELECT MAX (SLICE_END_DTTM) FROM MDADM.B1_JOBS_VW WHERE CONTEXT_CD= <NMS_context_code> AND ENTITY_NAME='CD_ACCT';
      SELECT LAST_UPDATE_TS FROM MDADM.B1_CHECKPOINT WHERE GROUP_NAME LIKE 'NMS%';

    10. Revert the changes for scenario names for CD_ACCT dimension upon completion of the job loads by navigating to Load Plans and Scenarios > Oracle Utilities BI > Shared> Dimensions > Account Dimension.

    11. On the Definition tab, double-click B1_PKG_NMS_CD_ACCT Version 001 and rename it to B1_PKG_NMS_CD_ACCT_UPTO_24013 Version 001.

    12. On the Definition tab, double-click B1_NMS_D_ACCT_VW Version 001 and rename it to B1_NMS_D_ACCT_VW_UPTO_24013 Version 001.

    13. Click Save.
    14. Stop B1_RUN_ALL from ODI Studio.
    15. Start the GoldenGate REPLICAT.
    16. Load the incremental data into CD_ACCT dimension FROM NMS_ACCOUNTS_HISTORY table by navigating to Load Plans and Scenarios > Oracle Utilities BI > Shared> Dimensions > Account Dimension.
    17. On the Definition tab, double-click B1_PKG_NMS_CD_ACCT_FROM_24013 Version 001 and rename it to B1_PKG_NMS_CD_ACCT Version 001.
    18. On the Definition tab, double-click B1_NMS_D_ACCT_VW_FROM_24013 Version 001 and rename it to B1_NMS_D_ACCT_VW Version 001.
    19. Click Save.
    20. Run the View generation for the Configured Context.
    21. Enable B1_RUN_ALL and load the Account dimension. At this point, the data is loaded from NMS_ACCOUNTS_HISTORY.
    22. Enable all other dimensions and facts, and perform incremental loads.

    Option 2: Complete Data Load

    CD_ACCT dimension will load the complete data FROM NMS_ACCOUNTS_HISTORY table. The data which is already loaded in the dimension FROM CES_CUSTOMERS_HISTORY table will be updated. All the dependent facts will also be updated with the latest ACCT_KEY values FROM CD_ACCT table. Once the loads are done, the older records in the account dimension (All the data loaded form CES_CUSTOMERS_HISTORY table) will be deleted.

    1. Stop B1_RUN_ALL from ODI studio. Run this query to ensure no ETL jobs are in the "Running" state:

      Copy
      SELECT * FROM   MDADM.B1_JOBS_VW WHERE  STATUS_FLG in ('W','P', 'R');

      Note: If there are entries found, wait for the jobs to finish.

    2. Ensure that the NMS_ACCOUNTS_HISTORY table is present and with data in the replication layer.
    3. Ensure the scenario names for the existing CD_ACCT NMS Dimension are renamed (if not already done) with suffix 'UPTO_24013' in ODI by navigating to Load Plans and Scenarios > Oracle Utilities BI > Shared> Dimensions > Account Dimension.
    4. On the Definition tab, double-click B1_PKG_NMS_CD_ACCT Version 001 and rename it to B1_PKG_NMS_CD_ACCT_UPTO_24013 Version 001.
    5. On the Definition tab, double-click B1_NMS_D_ACCT_VW Version 001 and rename it to B1_NMS_D_ACCT_VW_UPTO_24013 Version 001.
    6. Click Save.
    7. Rename the scenario name for the new CD_ACCT NMS Dimension by navigating to Load Plans and Scenarios > Oracle Utilities BI > Shared> Dimensions > Account Dimension.
    8. On the Definition tab, double-click B1_PKG_NMS_CD_ACCT_FROM_24013 Version 001 and rename it to B1_PKG_NMS_CD_ACCT Version 001.
    9. On the Definition tab, double-click B1_NMS_D_ACCT_VW_FROM_24013 Version 001 and rename it to B1_NMS_D_ACCT_VW Version 001.
    10. Click Save.
    11. Run the View generation for the Configured NMS Context.
    12. Run the B1_ACCT_DIM_UPD_28020 scenario for the configured NMS Context by navigating to Load Plans and Scenarios > Framework > Data Correction > B1_ACCT_DIM_UPD_28020.
    13. Enable the entity active flag of CD_ACCT dimension.
    14. Enable B1_RUN_ALL and load the Account dimension, where data is loaded from NMS_ACCOUNTS_HISTORY.
    15. Run the B1_F_ACCT_KEY_UPD_28020 scenario for the configured NMS Context by navigating to Load Plans and Scenarios > Framework > Data Correction > B1_F_ACCT_KEY_UPD_28020.
    16. Run the B1_ACCT_DIM_DEL_KEYS_28020 scenario for the configured NMS Context by navigating to Load Plans and Scenarios > Framework > Data Correction > B1_ACCT_DIM_DEL_KEYS_28020.
    17. Enable all other dimensions and facts, and perform incremental loads.
