Cannot Install OWB Repository objects.

Question

I use OWB Repository Assistant after finished Installing BO 10.1.0.2.0.
I filled the User Name field as SYS and surely another fields are correct. But I got the result as
INS0003: OWB Repository Installation cannot continue without DBA privileges. Connect as DBA and use option Create a New Warehouse Builder Repository to continue the process.
How should I do to solve this problem.

Answer 1

This appears to be a locking issue and looking at our Support database it is resolved in 10gR1 and 10gR2 versions of the database but remains on 9i although a warning dialog should be shown. Even so the installation should continue and should be successful.
Do you have AQ running? This sometimes causes this error to occur. I think in the 10gR1 documentation this locking issue was documented and it was supposed to be added to the 10gR2 doc (I need to check to this).
To figure the lock from Repo Asst code, use the following:
select distinct
s.sid,
s.serial#,
s.username,
x.kglnaobj as objectname
from
dba_kgllock l,
v$session s,
x$kgllk x
where
l.kgllktype = 'Pin' and
s.saddr = l.kgllkuse and
s.saddr = x.kgllkuse and
x.kglnaobj like '%DBMS_LOCK%';
If this returns rows, display the warning with a suggestion to connect to SQLPlus and issue the following statement (where SID, Serial are what came back from the query)
ALTER SYSTEM KILL SESSION 'SID, Serial';
e.g.
ALTER SYSTEM KILL SESSION '13, 8'
That might solve the problem.
Hope this helps.
