Datawarehouse jobs not running. Seems to be errors in the setup. How much data will be lost if they are recreated


Michael Johnson (44718) | asked Oct 05 '15, 8:59 a.m.

I installed RTC 5.0.2 and everything seemed fine until we realized that there was no status of datawarehouse jobs ever being run.  This is on Oracle 11g. 

My question is:  If I drop all of the datawarehouse tables and user and recreate - would the historical data be recreated from the ccm tables.  What am I going to lose?

Hi Michael,
Historical data from data warehouse is recreated for RTC.

But I would focus on the errors you have:
1. Which data warehouse collection solution are you using (old application jobs or DCC)?
2. Do you see any error messages in log files?

Hey Krzysztof,

I am not using DCC. 

So, here is the back story.  

I initially installed RTC 6.0.  This (for some reason did not go well).  I decided to reinstall, but with 5.0.2.  I did not want to lose my 6.0 progress and decided to install the 5.0.2 tablespaces in another area.  I believe my mess up is that I dropped all of the users except my datawarehouse user (which was still pointing at the index files in the old directory, but had new dw.dbf and dw_temp.dbf files in the new directory). 

So...rookie mistake - now I am trying to save my 5.0.2 install. 

Question 1:

If I drop all of the dw tables/dw user and recreate - do I lose anything? 

Question 2:

If I installed DCC - would all of this get fixed?

Thanks for your quick response. 

Basically, I have all of the DW index files in the wrong location.  If I drop these and the DW tables and recreate - will the data from the projects be recreated?

Answer 1:

No, you will not loose the data


Question 2:

Answer 2:

No need to install DCC here. Just correct your mess in the data warehouse.
