Created Migration Repository by accident as Apps User! Can I undo it?

I am a very stupid fool, and I am scared that I might have done something to one of our clones on PROD via something I just did in SQL Developer. I am too much of a coward to mention it to one of our DBAs as violence may result from my admission!
I was following this guide:
http://www.oracle.com/technology/obe/11gr1_db/appdev/msamigrate/msamigrate.htm
In case you need it, this is the result from "select * from v$version":
Oracle Database 10g Enterprise Edition Release 10.2.0.4.0 - 64bi
PL/SQL Release 10.2.0.4.0 - Production
CORE 10.2.0.4.0 Production
TNS for IBM/AIX RISC System/6000: Version 10.2.0.4.0 - Productio
NLSRTL Version 10.2.0.4.0 - Production
Anyway, I got to this bit, while connected to the DB as apps user (yes, stupid I know).
On the web guide, I got to this step:
Creating the Migration Repository > 3 > Now you can create the repository in this users connection. Right click on the omwbrep_orcl connection and select Associate Migration Repository
As soon as I clicked it, and it started churning away, I realised I was way, way, way out of my depth, creating stuff on the DB as an apps user (aaaaah, I am a fool).
I cancelled the operation, and was told that something had been created.
I am now really worried I've done something really bad on the database, but I have no idea what I just did, how to check what I did, and if possible, how to undo it.
Any advice much appreciated, and my apologies for being so stupid, and doing stuff as an Apps user without knowing what I was doing.
Thanks

Aaah. I just read this in the JDeveloper help doc:
Delete or Truncate Repository
The Delete Repository dialog box is displayed if you click Migration, then Repository Management, then Delete Repository; the Truncate Repository dialog box is displayed if you click Migration, then Repository Management, then Truncate Repository.
Deleting a repository removes all schema objects that are used for the migration repository. Truncating a repository deletes all data from schema objects that are used for the migration repository, but does not delete the schema objects themselves, effectively leaving you with an empty repository.
Repository: Name of the database connection in which to delete or truncate the migration repository.
I therefore went to Migration Repository > Delete Migration Repository, thinking I would be able to confirm / view anything first, but it just went ahead and deleted a load of stuff.
Can anyone advise please if I have just done something even more stupid than creating a repository in the first place, and then cancelling the operating part way through?
Good grief, I am so stupid :(

Creating a form with radio buttons that users can fill, save, and e-mail back

Hi all,
I am new here, so please forgive me if this answer has already been answered. I have been looking around and still have not been able to find an answer.
I have created a pdf in InDesign and opened it in Acrobat to create a form out of that existing PDF. The form needs to contain radio buttons and text fields. When I save it to test it out on Adobe Reader (for the typical user), it says that I am only allowed to save it in its original form (without any of the changes) thereby making this form useless (I do not want users to print it out; I'd like them to email the entire PDF back to me).
I've looked online and found some answers saying that I would just need to enable commenting, but when I tried that, I could no longer select any of the radio buttons in Adobe Reader.
Any suggestions?
Thanks in advance.
I'm on a Mac using Adobe Acrobat 7 Professional.

You won't see that in 7. It didn't exist until Acrobat 8. Though It would work with PDF's opened by Reader 7.
The only choice you have is connacting someone at Adob coporate and finding out how to sign up to a Service they have that will llow you to do that.
Caution: its very, very expensive and unless your fortune 1000 company you can't afford it.
OR you could upgrade to Acrobat 10 (if you have a Machine capable of running it - Intel Only) or Acrobat 9 (PPC and INTEL).
Note the feature they speak of only allows for 500 instances of any one PDF set up to do so.

Where to store data when you have a single app, users can purchase add-ons for the app, and each such purchase needs new files

Hi, I have a hub app and need to give users the option to purchase various add-ons. For each such ad-on, I need to download a new set of files. Where would such files be stored, and how does it work when a new purchase is made? I cant seem to find any
documentation to guide me.
Thanks and regards,
Lynn

Hi Lynn,
Read something about in-app purchase documentation:
Enable consumable in-app product purchases
You can definitely store your file somewhere in your server when the customer buy your product, your app validated, download from that place.

Migrating 10.4 to 10.6 - Users can't log in

Hello,
Manually upgrading from 10.4.11 on G5 with internal drive to 10.6.5 on Intel with Firewire Raid Array. Moved all home directories as root with cp -pR to the firewire drive. Setup all the users in Workgroup manager (setting users to same UID as was on the 10.4.11 server). Set the new sharepoint from the external FW drive. Set all the users with this new sharepoint as the home directory. Gave AFP permission in SACL.
Symptoms: logging in from workstation gives the shake and the message about home directory being on an AFP or SMB server - contact your administrator. If I log in from the laptop to the server, I am successful, but it mounts the Users directory and not the home director of the user (I can't log in only by clicking on the server icon, I need to click on connect as button).
Thanks, for any assistance in advance.
Dave

For my two cents worth,.. I'm seeing exactly the same problem.
If any of you guys/gals have solved this one, please post a summary here
In case it helps,
besides the similar behavior, as posted by Robert (msg: 'logging in to the account failed because of an error'), I can add the following observation:
If I am logged into a client machine as administrator, and I open a terminal window,
and then do:> +ssh localhost -l snoopy+
I do get asked the password
I am successfully logged in, but with no home directory
I read the error message:
+Could not chdir to home directory /Network/Servers/cbserver1.heidihills.ch/Volumes/group1/users/snoopy: No such file or directory+
On that client machine, in the syslog, I read the following:
+edu.mit.Kerberos.CCacheServer[13178]: launchctl start error: No such process+
+sshd[13341]: afp home directory mount failed in theEnumerator->Mount in AFP_Mount: status = Unknown error: -5000+
+edu.mit.Kerberos.CCacheServer[13178]: launchctl start error: No such process+
and on the AFP server where the home directories lie... I read, in the AFP access logs:

How can I create a DVD image that PC users can retrieve and burn...

I need to create a DVD disc image that PC users can retrieve from a private network share and burn to a blank DVD. Once burned, it needs to auto-start at the Menu. The master works fine. Images burned using the Mac Disk Utility work fine. But I have little control over who will download the image or the method by which they will burn it, so I need to provide visitors with guidance. Thank you in advance for any assistance you can provide.

Thank Jeff for this one.....

Create a new DB user like APPS user

Hi all,
I want to create a database user that have [select] and [execute] privilages for all tables under all schemas in eBusiness Suite database instance.
My aim, is to create a safe user that can execute any query like APPS user do, but he can not update\insert\delete like APPS user do. Because APPS user should be limited to a few DBAs only, while other IT developers need to select or exexte programs only.
the problem come from that not all eBusiness Suite DB objects under one schema, they are distributed under many schemas like APPS, HR, ..ect.
Any advice on how to create such user pls?

Hello, all!
An EUL was previously created and the Oracle Apps users only was checked, which was supposed to be not. Business areas and folders were already created and i want to reuse all. Is there a way i can change the EUL to make it not for oracle apps users (uncheck or something). I tried exporting the eul but got an error ORA-00942 - table or view does not exist.

EBS 11.5.1 - Problem creating user with NO APPS user

Hi everybody.
I am working on an EBS enviroment on demand that we are trying to set up for a Colombian customer. We are trying to set up the connector between Oracle IDentity Manager and EBS and it is not working.
After some test cases we figured out that the main issues are related with the privileges that has the user that is going to interact with the EBS DB Procedures. In fact, we are trying to call this procedure:
declare
user1 varchar2(50);
owner varchar2(50);
begin
user1 := 'USERNAME';
owner := '-23432';
fnd_user_pkg.CreateUser(user1,owner);
end;
IF WE RUN THIS SENTENCE OVER APPS USER (THE EBS ADMIN USER) IT WORKS. HOWEVER when we try to use the OIM user it throws the following error:
Unable to create user USERNAME due to the following reason(s):
Oracle error -1031: ORA-01031: insufficient privileges has been detected in FND_WEB_SEC.VALIDATE_PASSWORD..
ORA-06512: at "APPS.APP_EXCEPTION", line 72
ORA-06512: at "APPS.FND_USER_PKG", line 869
ORA-06512: at "APPS.FND_USER_PKG", line 915
ORA-06512: at "APPS.FND_USER_PKG", line 1034
ORA-06512: at line 1
We already checked the FND_WEB_SEC Package (that has the VALIDATE_PASSWORD function) and it looks like the problem is when it calls the function VALIDATE_PASSWORD_JAVA wich tries to validate the password with a Java task. It looks like the OIM user doesn't have privileges to access this remote java function.
Anyone knows wich is the real problem and how can i solve it??
Many thanks for the help

You can use fnd_user.create_user api. But 2000 users can be dataloaded (alternatively) in apprx 4 to 5 hrs. If this one time effort I prefer dataload. If it is repetitve till you go live then API is the way to go.

Upgrade/Migrate 9.3.3 Planning apps to 11.1.2.2

I am in the next step of our upgrade from 9.3.3 to 11.1.2.2 and ready to migrate our Planning applications. I have read many of the posts related to this and have a general list of steps, but I have slightly different situation than what I have seen posted before.
To summarize, we have installed 11.1.2.2 on new servers. Our old 9.3.3 is still up and running on different environment. I have sucessfully completed the following:
1.     Foundation Services/Shared Services installed and up and running and users/groups successfully migrated.
2.     Essbase and EAS installed and up and running. All Essbase applications (except for the Planning apps), have been successfully migrated from 9.3.3 to 11.1.2.2.
3.     Planning has been installed and is up and running. While there are no Planning apps in the new system, I can open the Planning Administrator via WorkSpace.
So the next step is to get my Planning apps moved/migrated from the 9.3.3 environment to the new 11.1.2.2.
To complicate matters, we are switching from SQL Server repository in 9.3.3 to Oracle in our new 11.1.2.2. So the first thing we did was to create a new Oracle schema for our Planning app repository and using SQL Developer migrate wizard, we copied/migrated the tables and data from the old SQL Server to Oracle. It appears that all the tables and data were successfully copied into Oracle.
Our old Planning application is called PlanTest. The application owner is a native user called planadm. My intended migration plan (and my questions) are:
1.     Do I create a new blank Planning app called PlanTest using native account planamd in 11.1.2.2?
2.     If I use my new Oracle repository for this blank app, will it wipe out the old converted data or will it try to upgrade/migrate it?
3.     Or..should I take a backup of my new converted repository first. Then drop/recreate the Oracle Schema (so no tables) and let Planning build the repository when I create the blank Planning app? Then capture the owner SID in the new HSP_USER table. Stop Planning. Then overlay the database backup of 9.3.3 over the newly created repository and replace the owner SID info. Then Restart Planning.
          ** My concern: Is the Planning app repository table structures the same between 9.3.3 and 11.1.2.2?
4.     Open Planning and hope that the application PlanTest appears!
5.     Use Planning upgrade Wizard to finish the migration and upgrade the repository.
6.     Push/Create app to Essbase.
7.     Export data from old app to .txt load file and reload into new Planning cube.
8.     Convert/Migrate Business Rules using info from John's blog.
I am sure I missed something. Any suggestions or comments on these steps would be appreciated. Bottom line is I need to get this app (and several others) migrated successfully with all metadata, security, forms, rules etc. working. Rebuilding them from scratch is NOT an option.
Also, to clarify. This is a Classic Planning app. We are not using EPMA.
Thanks,
Mike

Following the steps, the upgrade/migration of the Planning application worked successfully. The app and forms were all migrated and was able to push to Essbase application successfully. The only issue was security. While the users/groups seem to appear in the migrated Planning app, none of their security access/filter info migrated. We have Planning security defined down to the member level in the application and it appears none of that successfully migrated, so we would need to manually re-assign all of that security. Any thoughts of what may have happend or step I may have missed?
Also have moved on to attempt migration of the Business Rules to Calc Manager. Using John's 2nd alternative method from his blog, I export the rule from 9.3.3 EAS to HBRRules.xml file, copy it to the appropriate 11.1.2.2 folder, select "Migrate" on the PlanTest planning app in Calc Manager, select the app and Plan type and all seems well with the Import screen even indicating that the Rule and variables were Inserted. But I never see the rule appear. Could this be an "owner" issue or is there something I need to do to the .xml file before the migration step?

How to create a repository(not just custom) using your hard drive

I don't know if many people know about this, so I am giving this a shot. There are three major articles on wiki.archlinux.org: Custom local repository,
Using a CD-ROM as a repository, and Offline Installation of Packages. These are available online through the WIKIs at archlinux.org.
I was first confused because when I was reading "Offline installation of packages", I didn't know what these ".db.tar.gz" files where. I came mainly from a Debian / Ubuntu
background (I actually tried many distros before this), so getting used to the way the repository works and no graphical install manager for it. However, I enjoyed a challenge and
I found out that these are database packages that contain descriptions and locations on where these files are located. The ones on the ftp server are already compiled. I don't know if,
however they are compiled with the most recent versions.
With all that said, I thought you had to have it all in one directory in order for this to work, but as it turns out, location is not really an issue. I decided to have a directory reside on the root.
I chose root because it's only for the install of my own packages. I could have done it as a seperate user account, such as "repos" in PCLinuxOS (another distro I tried). I didn't want to have a seperate account for this. Therefore, I created "/root/repository". Within this directory I created directories for all repository archives. I basically did a "cd /mnt/dvd" and migrated to the particular repository directories. I would copy all the "pkg.tar.gz" files into their respective directories with "cp * ~/repository/<name-of-dir>". For intance, I started with the "core" directory, because there was some things I didn't install in the core directory during installation and if the packages needed it, it was there. This follows for the rest of the directories, such as "community", "testing", and "unstable", etc.You can go to the ftp mirrors to find out what directories are available. The main point is that your files should be in the format ".pkg.tar.gz". These are package files that get converted into a sort of database format that as I mentioned, informs the system the description and where the files are located, and so on.
The command to perform this, is "tar -xvf /root/repository/core/core.db.tar.gz *.pkg.tar.gz". You can replace core with whatever repository you are adding. So, for example, "extra.db.tar.gz" would be in the "extra" directory. This information is located in the "Offline installation of packages". The command to create this database is called, "repo-add".
The format for this command is "repo-add /path/to/dir.db.tar.gz *.pkg.tar.gz". So, if it's the core packages you would "cd ~/repository/core" and "repo-add core.db.tar.gz *.pkg.tar.gz".
Then, you need to edit the "/etc/pacman.conf" configuration file for pacman. I basically would comment all out except for the repositories I need. So, for example "[core]" and "/etc/pacman.d/core" would tell where normally the servers are located for these files. This information is located int the "Custom local repository" article.using the "repo-add" command.
Furthermore, I edited each server file located in "/etc/pacman.d/<repository>" where repository is core, extra, etc. I would perform, "nano /etc/pacman.d/core" for example and comment out all servers. I then add a "local repository" by typing in "file:///root/repository/core", saved it, and then did a "pacman -Sy" to update the repository database. Now, I can do "pacman -S <package-name>" where package-name is whatever I wanted to install. Voila! Please let me know of any suggestions, questions, insights, or comments. I hope I'm not missing anything in this article. I do remember using "rm -rf * in the "/var/lib/pacman/<repository>"directories and using "tar xvf <repository>.db.tar.gz". I don't if that something to do with it, though. Be careful with the "rm -rf *" command, because you can erase your hard drive if you are not careful, for those who aren't informed.
P.S. Please note all these are done with the root user.

Is this what you imply? Sorry if I seem redundant with these questions, but I'm curious so I can improve for the future. I am new to this and open to any suggestion and comments.
Maybe you could either edit the existing wiki pages where they were not clear to you, or else add a new wiki page, or both. Certainly give the whole a clearer (visual) structure, and (if they don't already exist) add links between the connected wiki pages.
Yes that is partly what I mean. Further you could get rid of the information that is not really needed to follow the guide (for example what the command 'repo-add' does. People could if they are interested look it up in the script itself, or you could add it here and link to it).
And yes a bit of structure would be nice. You don't have to nessesarily call it 1,2,3, as long as it has some kind of structure in it (the visual point is very important here). You could take a look at existing wiki pages on the web and see how most of them (not all of them are good of course) are structured.
That's a good point, too. How do I found out what articles are more effective? I am doing research on this particular matter at the moment and came across articles that have tips on technical writing. Could this help in the long run? Or, is it better to get feedback from other users and improve that way? In other words, do first, and ask later, as one user point out?

Help! how to create a repository correctly of owb?

I have installed oracle11 in the directory c:\app\***\product\11.1.0\db_1 and installed owb in the directory c:\app\***\product\11.1.0\owb11gr1. When i tried to Create a Repository Using the Repository Assistant, the system gives out an error message:OWBSYS is not granted access to owb home/owb/bin/admin/rtrepos.properties:Please run UnifiedRepos/reset_owbcc_home.sql specifiying the path of the Oracle Home from which the Control Center Service is being run.
Then I run the script reset_owbcc_home.sql and put in "C:/app/***/product/11.1.0/owb11gr1" according to the prompt.
But it still can not work, it gives out another error,"there is no table or views"
Can anyone tell me how to create a repository correctly?
Thanks!

With your database 11g install OWB is already installed under the ORACLE_HOME's owb directory. You should/could have just used it.
I'd suggest a cleanout and start again, here are the steps:
1. Close any open OWB
2. from db home,
Stop runtime service - cd owb/rtp/sql sqlplus OWBSYS/OWBSYS @stop_service
3. drop your target user, design user
4. cleanout OWBSYS, recreate:
cd owb/UnifiedRepos
sqlplus using your sysdba
@clean_owbsys
@cat_owb <tablespace_of_your_choice)
Now run reposinst.bat from your database Oracle home
Cheers
David
