OWB design centre issue

Dear All,
I have installed oracle 11g 2 edition with OWB option , and i am not able to access design center after configuring a repository with the repository assistant..
Please help

Hi,
In which environment is your 11g db is installed. Linux or windows.
Did you created repository owner and repository user, try to login to the design center using the repository owner.

  • How to organize work in OWB Design Centre to enable dimension sharing?

    Hi all,
    I'm looking for some guidance regarding the best way to go about organizing my work in OWB Design Centre to enable sharing of work already done and to avoid duplication.
    Currently I have one area:
    1 Project
    4 Source modules
    1 Target module with 3 dimensions
    Now I want to start developing a new area (there will be about 10 areas in the end). This area must share 2 source modules and 2 dimensions from the target module. It should only use those dimensions, not be able to change it. Each area will be derived to a Business Area in Disco Admin.
    How wil be the best way to do this:
    - Should I create a new project or create another target module?
    - Should I maybe have everything in one target module with 10 different cubes using selections of the dimensions?
    - If I have different target modules, will I still be able to derive the Business Area to the same EUL?
    Thanks!

    Hi,
    grouping cubes and their relating objects into a collection is a good help for oraganizing your objects for development.
    For deployment, you have introduce some kind of (manual) release mangement.
    We use the following process:
    1. Add all objects belonging to a release to a collection "REL_V1" (you have to identify these objects manually)
    2. Export this collection to a mdl file
    3. Import the file into your target environment (e.g. integration, production).
    4. Deploy the collection "REL_V1"
    In december, I will give a talk about how to automatize this process using OMB*Plus on the german DOAG conference. The presentation and the code will be available for download on owb.metafinanz.de shortly after the conference.
    Unfortunately, the presentation will be available only in german, but should give you the main ideas anyway.

    Carsten.

  • OWB Design Repository Tables

    Hi All,
    Is there any document from where I can get a decent insight into the OWB design repository tables and their functions.
    Being a bit more specific, while working in OWB 10gR1 I have experienced situations where a mapping suddenly shows a null pointer exception and becomes un-editable, and un-deployable and un-executable. The only solution then is to make the mapping from scratch. If I can know which all design repository tables are involved in storing a mapping information, then perhaps I can go to the backend fix the issue and retrieve the mapping.
    Please let me know if any of you have any infomation regarding this.
    Regards
    -AP

    Thanks a lot for your information. It gives me some idea of the tables from which these read only views are created.
    I hope, in order to understand more what these underlying tables are for, I need to scratch my head :))

  • OMBPlus TCL-script in OWB Designer at startup?

    Is there a way to run a OMBPlus script in OWB Designer automatically at startup?
    What I would like is a small tcl script that just contains a procedure like:
    proc run_script {} {
    source "I://OMB//SCRIPTS//2009//DEPLOY//START_DEPLOY.tcl"
    Then the users can just access the OMBplus part of the screen and type
    OMB> run_script
    (This instead of typing the entire source command...)
    Is this possible? To automatically run a small script at startup?

    Hi,
    Is this possible? To automatically run a small script at startup?OMBPlus is a Tcl/Java based (Jacl) TCL interpreter and it support auto_load mechanism (with auto_path variable and tclIndexfile).
    And please note that this mechanism doesn't work if you start OWB from Windows Start menu (use OWBHOME\owb\bin\win32\owbclient.bat instead).
    1) place your small tcl script into directory (for example into c:\tcl_autostart and name of your script small_script.tcl)
    2) Modify setowbenv.bat file (in OWBHOME\owb\bin\win32 directory) - add line
    SET TCLLIBPATH="C:/tcl_autostart"3) create in c:\tcl_autostart directory file tclIndex (without any file extension!) with contents (the first line must be exact I specify, because TCL interpreter check it before processing tclIndex)
    # Tcl autoload index file, version 2.0
    set auto_index(run_script) \[list source \[file join $dir small_script.tcl\]\]Now start OMBPlus (with OMBPlus.bat) or OWB (with owbclient.bat) - and you have new command run_script
    Tested on OWB 10.2.0.3

  • One schema for OWB Design repository, runtime repository and target schema

    Currently we have contents of OWB Design schema, runtime schema and target schema all combined into one schema of the same database in OWB 9.0.2 as well as OWB3i. We like to move to OWB10g in very near future. Can we keep the same structure for convenience of migration in OWB10g? Is it mandatory that OWB design repository (and components) must be separate from OWB run time repository (and components) and target schema? In other words is it possible and workable to use only one schema to contain OWB design repository, OWB run time repository and target schema in OWB10g environment with repositories to be situated on Oracle v9.2.0.1.0? Also what special considerations should be taken to create the database v9.2.0.1.0 and installation of OWB10g. What are the problems/side-effects to have all in one schema?
    Also please let me know how to install Oracle Workflow server to be used along with OWB. Will OWB10g work with repository on Oracle database v9.2.0.1.0?
    Your prompt advice will be very well appreciated.

    The design repo is a metadata repo that stores all the design-time objects and so forth.
    It is an architectural decision that you or your team need to decide on. There are many flexible ways to architect an OWB infrastructure.
    Also, your repository users will be using the design repository on the the other DB instance to do their design work...potentially less people always hitting the target database all the time.

    I configured DADS from the http server home page using

    My OC4J instance is running.
    I checked for the user "wb_runtime_rep" there is no package "wmp_api_call".
    Is this what I am missing ?

    I just checked the database sessions.
    It is infact hitting the database with the repository username.

  • How to open the OWB Design Center in Linux

    Hi All,
    Currently, our OWB10.2. is installed in the Window2003 server, I could login the servers and go to Program -> OWB -> Design Center to open the Design center and create my own project or mapping.
    We just install OWB 10.2.0.4 in a Linux Ret Hat server, I don't know how to open the Design Center from the Linux.
    Should I open it from the Linux server(How), or I could remotely launch the Design Center from my PC (Window XP) to create my project (actually try to migrate project from the weindow2003 server to Red hat Linux server)?
    Thanks

    Hi David,
    I found the file and executed it, but got this list of errors, do you have any idea?

  • OWB Design Browser reports Unexpected Error

    Hi,
    I am trying OWB904 demo on OracleDB 9.2.0.2 and I have problem with OWB Design Browser. I can view all the reports but seems that I can not see any Diagrams (Impact and/or Lineage) - every time I get error message:
    Unexpected Error
    Unexpected Error
    The operation can not be performed at the present time. Please contact your administrator for assistance.
    I already tried Refreshing Dependency Index (several times) and set the MS_IE Browser setting for "Check for newer versions of stored page" to "every visit to the page". Does not help - still getting "Unexpected Error".
    Any hint what else to try ???

    Bojan,
    There are two possibilities, both related to installation and set-up:
    1. Has XML Toolkit been installed in SYS schema? This XML Toolkit is needed for Lineage diagrams to show correctly.
    Check under SYS schema, whether you have XMLDOM and XMLParser package. Other way to check this is to see whether you have any invalid state package or package body in your OWB repos schema(OWBB_LIA and LIA_CLIENT are related to lineage diagrams).
    2. Check two tables: lia_xml_table and lia_xml_table2 have existed in OWB repos schema or not. They are needed for diagrams. One reason they may not been created during installation is these tables contain CLOB columns, and Oracle has a limitation: According to the 9i documentation: You cannot store LOBs in AUTO segment-managed tablespaces.
    Mark.

  • Defining roles and access for OWB Designer

    Hi,
    Can i Define roles and access rights to different on 1 OWB Designer repository?
    I want to send my mappings for code review but i dont want them to log into the OWB designer with write access.
    How can i achieve this in the same OWB designer repository as the one i am using?
    I am using OWB 10.1.
    I found some table - WMP_USER_ROLES,WMP_GROUP_ROLES,WMP_GROUP_REPOSITORIES
    when i logged into the designer schema through sqlplus
    Thanks
    Sagar

    Hi Sagar,
    Yes you can do that. Basically you can create a db user, and then register the user with a repository. By default that user has all privileges, however it now is audited per user as to what he/she did. How to do this look at the doc (find SecurityHelper)
    To enable you to protect metadata there are a couple of strategies (implemented via a simple PL/SQL API). For an example (this one works with policies on the module level) take a look here (http://www.oracle.com/technology/sample_code/products/warehouse/files/Dev_Status_Policy.SQL)
    This would work as follows:
    - Create user REVIEW
    - Register user REVIEW to repos QA
    - For a module you want review for, set the status to QA
    Now the REVIEW user logs in and he can look at QA but cannot touch.
    Hope this helps,
    Jean-Pierre

  • How to login to OWB Design Browser

    Hi everyone,
    when i try to open OWB Design Browser it is asking the following
    details :
    Oracle HTTP Server Host ______________________
    (The Oracle HTTP server host you provide must contain the entire path including the domain name. )
    Oracle HTTP Server Port _______________________
    ( The default Oracle HTTP server port is 7777. )
    Oracle HTTP Server DAD ________________________
    (The Oracle HTTP Server Database Access Descriptor (DAD) is the same as your Warehouse Builder design repository name or user name. )
    where can i get these details ?
    how can i log in to get into my local OWB design reports?
    Please guide me,
    Thanks,

    Ashvin
    These values come from the serever that is hosting your repository. The Design Browser is a web interface so you need to have an HTTP server running. In our case we are using the Apache software that loads with the database and we are runing it on a UNIX server.
    The HTTP service must be started.
    The port used is 7777 by default but you can change that in the Project->Preferences->Browser tab from within OWB. Set this port to whatever you have in that Browser tab.
    The DAD, as the note says, defaults to the username of the Design Repository and is usually set up during the install. You can see the DAD's that are set up by using your browser and going to http://<servername>:<port>. There will be a link to the DAD set up screen.
    Hope this helps a little. Good luck.

  • Running OWB Design Center in X Windows

    hi,
    i'm trying to run the latest version of the OWB Design Center in X Windows using X-Win32 V.7.0 on my Windows XP box.
    OWB is installed on Oracle's Enterprise Linux.
    The design center window comes up after logon, but it is all greyed-out, as if it were hanging for some reason.
    Are there any settings on the owb or xwindows side that need to be tweaked in order for it to run smoothly?
    Thank you.
    - Kenny R.

    The design center window comes up after logon, but it
    is all greyed-out, as if it were hanging for some
    reason.All greyed-out? Not your root window, is it? Been running Cygwin to a Solaris box - no problems. If it's not your root window, then possibly it's something to do with your X-client, rather than on the desktop side.

  • Report Designer Locking issue

    Hi,
       We have found locking issue while accessing same report(Created in Report Designer) by multi users at a time .
       Has anyone face this issue and How to fix it. It's major concern because same report can be accessed by multiusers at  same time
    Thanks
    Siva

    Siva,
    only one person at a time has permission to open the report in the Report designer - just like with Queries in the query designer.  This should not have any effect on you actually executing the report in the portal - multiple people can do it then.
    this is a security issue that other software vendors use as well - just like you cannot open any MS Office files on the network for editing that someone has opened already.
    Thanks
