11g Read-Only repository on Linux

Hi
Currrenty I am struggling with a Read-Only issues on a new install of OBIEE 11g. I have install OBIEE11g on a Linux box and also on a windows server just to use the Repository Administation tool. I then created an ODBC DSN on the windows server to point at repository on the Linux box. The DSN finds the correct repository however when I open the rpd online it always opens it in Read-Only mode so I can't change anything. I have checked the Disallow online RPD updates settings in Enterprise manager under-*> Capacity Management -> Perfromance* and this is correct. Any suggestions or help gratefully received.
Thanks
Andy

Hi Andy,
Did you check or uncheck the 'Disallow online RPD updates'-setting?
http://download.oracle.com/docs/cd/E14571_01/bi.1111/e10541/querycaching.htm
When you checked the setting it seems that it is intended behaviour.
Thanks,

Activating subscription service on a custom developed read only repository

Hi Experts,
We have a custom implementation of a read only KM repository manager which just expose documents, but does not have any editing functionality. Now the client wants to activate subscriptions on that repository manager. The current implementation of the manager is not sending any emails. Do you know what should be implemented by the manager in order to get the subscription service to work? We are looking for a daily notification as it is clear that because it is a read only manager there is no way to get notification for all events.
Regards,
Tania

Hi,

Hi All,
I have installed Weblogic10.3 on linux-64 system and then installed OBIEE 11.1.1.5.0 software only installation in the same middleware(as cerated by weblogic)on the same linux-64 system.
So far so good.

But i am not able to see Instance folder ?????
Even system didn't ask me for DEV_BIPLATFORM and DEV_MDS Schema path and password.
How to get this Instance folder?
Do i need to do any more configuration ?
How to make obiee11g run ??
I dont have any clue for next step..Please guide me here.....:)

"Edit Locally" for Repository having "Read only" rights

hi,
    I am on EP6.0 SP9.
When I go to
     Content Administrator --> KM Content --> Repository(having "Read Only" rights), and click on "Context Menu" an option "Edit Locally" come there. But as the repository has "Read only" rights, I need to disable that option.
Is there any way to do that?

Hi Patricio,
            Perhapps that link is not woking fine, so i have pasted that code here, so please have a look at the code here,

Repository files downloaded as READ ONLY

Hi,
We are using the repository for SCM of file based non-Oracle applications. When I download files from a folder in the repository they occur on the filesystem as Read-Only.
How can I prevent/control this? After download I want the files to be without any OS attributes (like Archive or Read-only).
Serverside: Windows NT 4.0, Ora817, Repos6iR4 version 6.5.52.2.0
Clientside: Windows NT 4.0
TIA

David,
Of course the files are checked in; otherwise I wouldn't be able to create a configuration on them and base a workarea on the configuration in order to download the files.
Here's my problem: I check-in and out files while developing a release. A release for me is a set of (checked-in) objects and folders grouped in a checked-in configuration.
Once I'm finished I want to download the release. In order to do this I base a 'DOWNLOAD' workarea on the configuration that represents the release.
Then I download the DOWNLOAD workarea; and have all files in the release on my file system. But I do not want them to be READ-ONLY !!, since the folders and files that make up my application have to be moved and copied around a couple of servers using FTP scripts and this is a whole lot more complicated when the files and folders are read-only.
If this cannot be disabled than Oracle SCM is a lot less attractive for our way of doing SCM... although I have been able to adjust all my Java FTP classes so that write-access is enabled on all file and folders after download and before publishing the application to all servers.
By the way I use the Java API of Oracle SCM to download the contents of the DOWNLOAD workarea.

[SOLVED] util-linux causing read only /

Anyone else having this problem?
After upgrading to testing after boot the root filesystem is readonly with arch init and with systemd...
That's happening for me since 1 or 2 days, maybe the problem was earlier too, don't really know.
Downgraded util-linux (and its dependency mkinitcpio, but not rebuilding the initramfs) to repo version and my / filesystem is rw again after boot...
I have not seen anything on the mailinglist...

Sorry, I first wanted to check if I am the only one or if there are already hundreds of minions working on it.
Logs are complicated on a read only filesystem. Couldn't find anything in dmesg, it just seems that it wasn't remounted rw while booting for some reason.
Nothing fancy here, using the util-linux from core with the rest from testing:

Slightly off topic: Read-only tables pre 11g

Hi gang
I'm just writing up a database quiz for a local user group and I was hoping I could get a bit of inspiration from the database experts.
One of the questions will be "prior to 11g with the introduction of read-only tables, how could you make a table read-only?". The answers I've come up with:
1) Security priviliges (schema + grant SELECT)
2) Triggers
3) Create a check constraint with disable validate
4) Read-only tablespace
5) Read-only database (standby)
6) (Slightly crazy) Create view, and instead-of triggers that do nothing (similar to 2)
7) Write the query results on a piece of paper and then turn the database off
Anybody have any other answers, real or slightly off topic like mine please? ;)
Cheers,
CM.

Check constraint and trigger solutions may have problems with sqlldr direct path operations, so using it together with alter table disable lock may be mandatory depending on the needs. Especially if DDLs are also wanted to be avoided.
This topic was once mentioned on Tom Kyte's blog or asktom but I couldn't find the source to link here.

How can a repository be in "read only mode"?

Hi,
i got a strange error in my logfiles.
For example if I open a document in the repository /documents I see in the logfile (DebugLevel)
in read only mode updates for statistic are disabled
path:com.sapportals.wcm.repository.service.accessstatistic.AccessStatisticManager.received()
and after that theres an entry
getProperty readonly called
And it really doesn´t update the acc properties.
I see no option at the CM Repository "documents" that might set it to read only and in details under Content Administration --> KM Content the "read only" flag for documents is not checked.
I have the same issue with all my other Repositories and none is set to read only.
Is there another place where it might be set to read only???
This problem appeared first time after upgrade to 7.0 SP15
many thanks for your help!
Regards
Alex

Hi,
for everyone who has the same problem in 7.0 SPS15.
It is a bug and will be fixed in SPS16. SAP also said it is no workaround possible....great

The MDM repository is in read-only mode

Hi Experts,
In our environment we have a Master ans Slave repository and the synchronization is being scheduled daily.
Now we understand from the MDIS logs of the Master repository that the repository is in Read-Only mode and none of the records can be updated / created.
We have tried restarting the repository too.
Please advice.
Thanks,
Sridhar T A

Chander,
We get Check/Verify Option only after repository is unarchived/created. So, this can not be applied in Maria's case....
Maria,
Please let us know what version of MDM you are using.. Are you sharing database for MDM with other systems too??
Also, can you check MDM logs and provide detailed error message from logs...You can check MDM server logs either from Console or On MDM server log directory...
This information will help..
Please also try this after setting following entry in MDS.INI file:
Unarchive Ignore Language Count=True
Best Regards,
Shiv

I'm curious. Is the filesystem on the USB, ntfs ?
If yes, did you install NTFS-3G ? https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/NTFS-3G. Happened to me 8 days ago .
EDIT - Sorry for the repost using the same solution as my above post. Didn't see his link. Just surfed through the posts for the word "NTFS-3g" and it wasn't there.

Have you checked what your guard status is set to?
SQL> SELECT guard_status from v$database;I've had a similar issue before but with a standby, whereby the status was set to ALL. This means all users apart from SYS are unable to make changes on the database.
My resolution was to set the status to standby:
SQL> ALTER DATABASE GUARD STANDBY;You may wish to set the guard status to NONE however.
I took some notes:

Administration tool read only access

I was wondering if there is a read only access to the administration tool.
What i am trying to do is to test the repository Build with best practices since this repository is live and done by a group of developers -
Since i joined recently and wanted to know what resources i need to get to view and test the repository.
I was wondering if there is a read only access to admin tool , not sure about this and also do i need oracle BI installed on my local machine to view the repository.
If not ,is there a way where i can get to see the repository without having the priviledges to do any modification or save changes to the repositoryin online or offline mode
Thanks Deva ...

Hi,
If you want to switch your RPD read only mode to online/Offline mode
try to re start your bi server and then try to access it RPD (online/offline mode)
Setting rpd in read only mode:
users wants to access the RPD in online mode then do below setting in NQSConfig.ini but this will refrain u developers as well to do any change in online mode...
Refer Section: READ_ONLY_MODE
http://download.oracle.com/docs/cd/E12096_01/books/AnyInConfig/AnyInConfigNQSConfigFileRef11.html
otherwise you can give it copy of RPD(he can access it via offline mode)
if your using obiee11g,
Read-Only issues on a new install of OBIEE 11g:(always opens it in Read-Only mode)
Login to Oracle Enterprise Manager Goto -> Business Intelligence -> coreapplication
Click - Capicity Managment Tab in Right side -> Performance -> Check Disable Disallow Online RPD Updates

Migrate Oracle 11g database from Windows To Linux using RMAN hot / cold backup ?

Hi Friends,
Is it possible to Migrate Oracle 11g database from Windows To Linux using RMAN hot / cold backup ? ( as i would like to perform Point In Time recovery)
(or) The only way is to use RMAN convert as mentioned here - Transporting Data Across Platforms
(or) Is there any other method (except exp/imp and data pump)
Regards,
DB

HI
his post describes the procedure required to migrate a database from Windows to Linux using the RMAN Convert Database command.
Both Windows and Linux platforms have the same endian format, which makes possible to transfer the whole database, making the migration process very straightforward and simple.
To migrate between platforms that have a different endian format, Cross Platform Transportable Tablespaces (XTTS) needs to be used instead.
List of Steps Needed to Complete the Migration
The migration process is simple, but as it has several steps it is convenient to be familiar with them before running it.
1. Check platform compatibility between source and target OS
2. Start the database in read only mode
3. Check database readiness for transport from Windows to Linux using DBMS_TDB.CHECK_DB
