Designer repository question

We currently have our designer repository at configuration 4.0.12.96.16. We were told that this version could be accessed by both Designer 6i and Designer 9i. The repository resides on an 8i database right now and we want to go to a 10g database.
I've checked the designer documentation on how to upgrade from a 6i or higher to 10g. However, i want to know if my designer 6i could still access this repository if i upgrade only the repository. The certification matrix doesn't cover designer 6i anymore...
Has anyone gone through this upgrade and can share lessons learned?

If you just upgrade de database version of the database where the repository resides from 8i to 10 there should be no problem. But if you upgrade the designer repository from 9i to 10g you will (probably) not be able to access this repository from a 6i or 9i client (only 10g client).

Do we hav to create a separate repository for Designer Repository??

Hi
I have created a repository using a Repository Assistant. Do we have to create a separate repository for Designer Repository??? If so, how do we create a Designer Repository??

Hi,
The basic installation of OWB paris makes a repository owner and a repository user for you.
This owner serves as the design repository owner as well as the runtime repository owner.
For creating your mappings and deploying and executing them you just need to associate a target schema with the repository owner which you can do from the repository assistant from within the design center.
I hope you are talking about OWB paris and I have been able to guess your question correctly.

Performance Problem on Designer Repository

Hello,
We have performance problem on Designer Repository database, I run system statistics, recreate objects, truncate temporary tablespaces, but compile forms runs very slowly, on top sql is this sql statement:
SELECT MAX(1)
FROM I$SDD_WA_CONTEXT CTXT
WHERE CTXT.OBJECT_IVID = :B1
AND CTXT.WORKAREA_IRID = JR_CONTEXT.WORKAREA
AND CTXT.WASTEBASKET = JR_CONTEXT.WASTEBASKET
how optimize this statement?

jr_wastebasket.purge_insignificant_versions helps, I drop old versions of forms

IMP-00003: ORACLE error 942 encountered
ORA-00942: table or view does not exist
I have the same versions (dev suite 10g and database 10.2.0.2) with the source designer. Both of them are on Windows XP.
Both of the repositories are using the tablespace with exactly same name(this may be irrelevant). When I start importing, I already have some data in that tablespace in the target repository. DSGNR users on both repositories are using that tablespace as default tablespace.
Anything wrong here? I did upgrade database from 10.2.0.1 to 10.2.0.2 myself before export/import designer repository. Not sure if this is caused by the unsuccessful update? I did not see error in database upgrade.
Your input is highly appreciated.
Jennifer

Yes the is a problem here.
You have incompatable import export tools between Designer and the DB.
In the Repository install manual it states:
Step 5b - (Oracle 9i or 10.2 DB) Install Oracle 9i or 10.2 Import and Export Utilities
Before installing Designer Repository on an Oracle 9i or 10.2 database, you need to set up the installation workstation to use the Oracle 9i or 10.2 import and export utilities. To do so, perform the following steps at the workstation from which you will be running the repository installation:
From the Oracle 9i or 10.2 installation media, install the Oracle 9i or 10.2 import and export utilities in a dedicated Oracle home.
In the Windows Registry, locate the key named:
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\ORACLE\KEY_HomeName\REPOS61
where HOMEn is the home number of the home installed into for a multiple Oracle home environment, but is not present where the default Oracle home is being used.
Change the value of the EXECUTE_IMPORT and EXECUTE_EXPORT variables to point to the new Oracle home. Thus, if the new Oracle home is d:\des_9i, the settings would be:
d:\des_9i\bin\exp.exe
d:\des_9i\bin\imp.exe
If you have the 10.2 DB on the same machine then just point the registry to thoes tools and if you dont you will need to install the 10.2 client with admin privleges to get the imp/exp tools installed and then point the registry to them.
hope that helps.

Migration of Designer Repository Owner from 7.3.4 to 8.1.7

My goal is database import from Oracle 7.3.4(Windows NT 4.0) to Oracle 8.1.7( Linux 7.1).
But, I have problem with importing Objects of Designer Repository Owner( no matter whether Designer 2.1 or Designer6.0).I gave Designer Repository Owner all necessary privileges an roles,but import just hangs! I can't find in log some exact information.
Thanks in advance!

I do that-full export,then full import.Then I found out that Designer Owner makes problem.
I tried to import only Designer Owner, but it didn't work again!

Trouble installing Designer Repository under XE

I have installed Oracle 10g XE on another PC (as a test system), and I have the XE Client on my own laptop. I also have SQL Designer installed, and both can talk to the copy of XE just fine. However, when I try to install the Designer Suite, I've run into a couple of major problems, primarily with the repository.
I seem to be able to create the repository ok, but when I try to install it, I get the error messages (shown below) when I get to the step called "cksysfol.sql". I let the Repository installation process continue, and no other errors were raised.
I tried to research this on Oracle's discussion forums, and found very little that addresses anything like this. Several posts suggest that creating a Designer Repository is not possible under XE. Other posts seem to indicate that other people have been successful in installing a Designer repository. I also found references that said I needed to enable "Fine-Grained Access Control" as part of the original database installation process, but I didn't see any place where that was even an option.
I need to install Designer because I need access to the Entity Relationship Diagram feature for a project I'm working on.
What do I need to do to get the Repository installed correctly?

Getting Started on Designer Repository

Hi
I need to install, create designer repository on Windows 2003 including data model. Where can I get a starting point to learn all about Oracle designer - Installation, Administration etc.
I haven't found any good document for beginner so far. I downloaded Installation document from oracle, but it does make little sense to me as I have absolutely no idea on designer.
Please shed some light on this.
I will also need to migrate existing data model to the new repository.
Thanks for the help!

1. you need to have the standard or enterprise edition of the database.
then you can use my script to get a repository created. Of course you will need to change things to set it to your database and not mine. But here it is.
After you install the IDS 10G in a new oracle home on the Client windows PC you will find the intall manual under:
start - programs- Oracle Developer Suite - Designer documentation - Repository instalation Guide

I need the Design Repository name in my Runtime repository query??????

Hi,
I want to execute a query on Runtime repository user.
I need to know: Design Repository User (own of mapping execution error) , Mapping Name and Error Message.
With this query I have the Mapping Name and Error Message. BUT HOW CAN I OBTAIN THE Design Repository name OF MAPPING EXECUTION ERROR???????????????

Thanks in advance!

Hi
When you run a mapping from the OWB Client with the Deployment Manager frist you have to login into a runtime repository with an access user. So you don't run the mapping with a designer user, you run it with a runtime user through an access user.
You can find the deployment (runtima access) user in the ALL_RT_AUDIT_DEPLOYMENTS.CREATED_by/UPDATED_by fileds.

Finding locked objects in design repository?

Does anyone know if it is possible to get a list of objects that are currently locked by users inside a design repository?
I am looking for something that is equivalant to what v$locked_object is for Oracle objects. I've tried looking at the tables/views/procedures defined in the Control Center but I haven't been able to figure out a way to do it.
I am writing some scripts to automate the export/import of MDLs between repositories. I'd like to be proactive about checking locks in the repository before attempting to import the MDL.
Thanks.

HI,
it seems that OWB uses DBMS_LOCK package for locking objects, so you can extract OWB internal lock names from SYS.DBMS_LOCK_ALLOCATED table (name OWB locks begin with 'OWB'). Locked object id (from all_iv_all_objects) specified at the end of lock name in reverse order.
But I don't now how to get type of locking (opening object also creates a lock).

One schema for OWB Design repository, runtime repository

Can we use only one schema for the design and runtime repositories on the same database instance and leave the target schemas separate? What are the advantages and disadvantages of this approach?
Thanks a lot for your time and reply.

Hello beatbisig
You got it right. Starting from OWB10gR2, the two types of repositories have been merged in to one. So if you have your design work hosted on one database, but want to keep the production database off-limits from developers you deploy from your design repository to the production repository. If you then connect to the production repository using the Design Center you wouldn't see any mappings there.
Why this wasn't done in the first place, even using the Oracle Designer repository I never understood ...

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.
Sankar

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.

Upgrade of Designer repository from 6i to latest version

Is the designer repository supported in a 10gR2 database?
We plan to upgrade to the latest developer suite and i'm working on a POC. I've upgraded the repository database to 10gR2. Now, i plan to install the latest version of developer suite on a client box and then run the RAU to upgrade the repository.
Has anyone done this? And can share his/her experience?
Thanks.

According to the Metalink note about this (Note:60705.1), both 9i and 10g Designer can run on 10gR2 databases. You're right to upgrade though, because the 6i repository is not certified on that database.
By the by, latest full Developer Suite is 10.1.2.0.2. But there is a newer Designer (v 10.1.2.2) available, which that same Metalink note says is certified with the base 10.1.2.0.2 Developer. I'd go with the newest Designer if I were you.
have fun

Owb design repository

I am unable to log in OWB Design Browser for report generation on Design Repository. I am in a Oracle client machine as well as it is OWB client. It giving an error message, 'Invalid Oracle HTTP Server information' whenever I am trying to login OWB design browser.
I am providing ip address of my oracle database server i.e host machine, port no, user id. What could be the reason and what is the solution?
And also I want to know the exact data for all these three columns.
