Hi,
when BI Content for certain areas has been activated in the system <b>is there a way to download information from the Metadata Repository into a Word or Excel Document</b> to give an executive at a customer an overview of what is available?
Has anyone done that and knows what's the best way to do that?

Can OID/IM components be moved to a new Metadata Repository?

Hi
I've looked around on Metalink but can't find any document that suggests this can be done, but I thought I would ask the question anyway (two iin fact):
1. Can an existing OID/IM setup be configured so as to oint to a new metadata repository? Is it possible to install a new MR and then associate the IM components away from it's existing MR to a new MR?
2. In an OracleAS Cold Failover Cluster (IM) topology, I've read contradictory notes (or I've misunderstood). Do the OID and MR components have to be on the same box? Or can they be on different boxes?
Regards
Andy

Can I install Metadata Repository for 10.1.2.0.2 on Oracle 10.2.0 database

Does any one know if the Metadata Repository of OracleAS 10.1.2.0.2 can be install on an existing Oracle 10.2.0 database ?
The MRCA tool is giving me this message "Oracle Metadata Repository cannot be loaded into this version of the database. Please see the installation guide for more information on supported database versions ...."

According to the Installation Guide, Oracle9i Release 2 (9.2.x) and Oracle Database 10g Release 1 (10.1.x) are supported. See the following for more specific information:

CD2 of Metadata Repository Creation Assistant (10.1.2.0.3) bad

Top Url of Page reads: http://www.oracle.com/technology/software/products/ias/htdocs/101202.html
CD2 of the Metadata Repository Creation Assistant (10.1.2.0.3) downloads fine and my cksumm of the file matches what I see on the download site of:

However when I try to cpio in the file, I get the following error:

So if I could have you send me the correct cpio file at [email protected] it would be most helpful.

I ended up ordering the full HP 10gAS R2 disk set to get this. Would be nice if someone from Oracle would respond about the bad file though.

9i metadata repository be upgraded to 10g

Hi,
I hav a question from the customer, they are looking for migration from Oracle AS 10g Rel 1 (9041) to AS 10g Rel 2 (10.1.2.0.2) they wanted to know if they can upgrade 9i metadata repository to 10g in advance of moving their 10g AS Rel 1 environment to 10g AS Rel 2?

Yes, the repository in fact must be upgraded if you want to perform the complete AS upgrade. Upgrade from the 10gR1 to 10gR2 is pretty straight forward. You are required to perform metadata upgrade by means of the MRUA (Metadata Repository Upgrade Assistant) disk, if you don't have it you should download it from the otn download area.

Invalid log directory in Metadata Repository Creation Assistant

Hi all,
I have on my laptop with OS Vista 64bit installed database version 10.2.0.3.0 and standalone AS (resp. whole SOA Suite) version 10.1.3.3. I wanted to install and configure OID not to separate, but to existing database. At first, I downloaded and successfuly installed Metadata Repository Creation Assistant (as_windows_x86_mrca_101401_disk1/2.zip). But when I run Oracle RepCA, in step 1 of 2: Specify Oracle Home Path, I get error Invalid log directory.
As Oracle Home Path I typed D:\oracle\product\10.2.0\db_1 (as it is in registry)
As Log File Directory I tried D:\product\mrca\assistants\repca\log, D:\log etc.
Could you help me, how to solve it?
Thanks,
Peter

There is a Patch for Windows Server 2008.
-->
Patch 7497474
Description: 10.1.4REPCA ON WIN 2008: NOT ABLE TO LOAD SCHEMAS USING REPCA INTO THE DB
For me it was the solution. Install the patch (follow the instruction in the readme.txt)
After that the RepCA accepts the Log File Directory.

Before running the MRUA for the Metadata Repository:
1. I have just recently completed a Middle Tier and Identity Mangement upgrade to 10.1.2.0.2 from version 9.0.4.1.
2. I was able to successfully run the MRUA upgrade script for upgrading our Portal Repository (customer database).
Our Metadata Repository database is at version 9.2.0.8. Has anyone seen these errors or had this problem?
The MRUA CD that I have is labelled "Oracle Metadata Repository Upgrade Assistant and Utilities 10g (10.1.2.0.2) for AIX based systems".
But in the errors I see "OracleAS Metadata Repository Upgrade Assistant 10.1.4.0.1". Is something wrong there? Should it say 10.1.2.0.2?
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks.

Hi,
Found out from Oracle that the "oracle/sysman/oii/oiio/oiiol/OiiolTextLogger" class is in the $ORACLE_HOME/oui/jlib/OraInstaller.jar file and as per their suggestion added the jar file to the $classpath list of jar files in the mrua.pl script.

Question regarding ContentDB InfraStructure AS without MetaData Repository.

Hi Experts,
For ContentDB Infracture AS can we use a Database that doesnt contain a Metadata Respository.
If the MetaData Repository is compulsory for Infrastructure AS... then could you please tell us why it is used for.
Thanks.

Export HTML Documentation / Metadata repository

Hi,
I'm trying to download (or export) the generated documentation on the metadata repository to my local workstation, but I'm having a problem. The procedure I use (procedure that I found into these forums) is:
- On transport connection, I select the InfoCube for which I want the documentation to be downloaded.
- Right click -> export html documentation
The problem is that on the generated documentation, generated links are not correct. They all have a prefix "SAPEVENT" that doesn't allow the link to be followed and makes it erroneous.
Have you faced this problem? How can be extracted a subset of the metadata repository that works locally on a user workstation?
Thanks in advance,
David.

Hi all,
I recently discovered that on our production system the metadata repository export works perfectly on a local machine (it doesn't generate urls with sapevent string), while in our development system the thing is not working.
This should probably mean that it is all about customizing and configuration (cause both systems are on the same version and SP).
Does anybody know how to configure this in order to export the metadata repository properly?
Thanks,
David.

Metadata Repository install to existing db

Hello,
I am trying to install and configure a Metadata Repository to a 10.2.0.1 database, I know that you must use the Repository creation assistant, but i am having trouble locating this tool. I already have the db installed and set up. Does the repCA ship with the database, or do I need to install the application server next to access it?
Cheers!
Jordan

Would I be able to accomplish the same task using the Repository Administration Utility that ships with Developer Suite? There're no such utility for Metadata Repository in Developer Suite!!! There are however a tool to create a Designer Repository, but that's something quite different.
Please note that if you're going to use a 10.2 database, then you must download the version I wrote! There's a version that comes on the AS10g Disk set, but that doens't support 10.2.

Martin

10.1.4 Upgrade on an AMD Opteron 64bit metadata repository

Hi,
I have a Portal MDR on a 64bit AMD Opteron Linux RHEL 4 hardware. I would like to upgrade it to 10.1.4 from 10.1.2.0.2.
The upgrade guide says the upgrade has to be run from the machine where the Portal repository is. But, I cant find a download for this hardware!
Will the 64bit download for itanium work on my hardware?
I have done a remote install of MRCA to load the repository from a 32bit machine
Kindly help
Thanks
Vikas

Hi,
Just a few remarks about the versions which you are about to install :
<li>Oracle Database (11.2.0.1) => should be at least 11.2.0.2 as 11.2.0.1 is not supported with RCU
<li>Repository Creation Assistant (11.1.1.2.0) => take RCU version for 11.1.1.4 as it will create the 11.1.1.4 version of the repository for you
<li>Weblogic (10.3.5) => you need 10.3.4 for IDM 11.1.1.4 andd PFRD 11.1.1.4
<li>Identity Management (11.1.1.2.0) => if you are going to install WebLogic 10.3.5, you should install IDM 11.1.1.2 and patch it to 11.1.1.4 !
<li>SSO metadata Repository Creator Assitant (10.1.4.3.1) => this is good, check Note 1069426.1 as it mentions some patches which need to be installed if you use a 11.2 database
<li>Portal, Forms, Reports and Discoverer (11.1.1.2.0) => install patch set 11.1.1.4 on the software home before running the config !
If you follow my recommendations, you will end up with the following software :
<li>IDM 11.1.1.4 with SSO 10.1.4.3 associated with OID
<li>PFRD 11.1.1.4
You can use a single middleware home for all this software. Make sure to install Weblogic 10.3.4 as 10.3.5 is not supported with FMW 11.1.1.4 products. Also make sure to install the appropriate JDK before installing weblogic.
Thanks,
EJ

Is there another newer Installation guide from oracle?
thank you

Good question, rozester.
I encountered this problem also, while trying to install the SSO MRCA 10.1.4.3.1 on 64-bit RHEL5 (though it's at version 5.7 but I'm positive that won't make any difference to the result).
This may or may not match your situation, but when I looked in the log file $ORACLE_HOME/assistants/repca/log/repca_<datestamp>.log, I saw what was probably the reason behind the error:
<$ORACLE_HOME>/bin/sqlplus: error while loading shared libraries: libclntsh.so.9.0: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory
I think I remember seeing that the link operation during installation had failed, but I hoped it would be OK. And it possibly would have been, if I'd remembered to specify the destination database Oracle home rather than the SSO MRCA Oracle home when prompted (on the page where it asks for database home and log file path). Perhaps then it would have used the sqlplus binary from the database oracle home, and since that one definitely works, it might have worked. But before I thought of that, I did a workaround; I installed the SSO MRCA on a 32-bit RHEL5 box (using the same directory paths) and copied the shared library files to the 64-bit box's shared library directory via scp as follows:
cd $ORACLE_HOME/lib; scp -pr * oracle@rhel64box:$PWD/
When I re-ran $ORACLE_HOME/runRepca, it then worked without error. Another thing I could have tried is just running runRepca on the 32-bit RHEL5 box, and that probably would have worked too, but it probably would have been a lot slower compared to running it locally on the destination server; it's takes quite a while as it is.
Hope this helps. I'm sure it'll help me if next time I do this I forget what I did before and go searching again ;-)

Metadata Repository Creation Assistant fails with ORA-01119


Hi All,
My DB version is 10.1.0.2 and I've upgraded the same to
10.1.0.4.2
In order to install B2B, I started off by installing the
Metadata Repository Creation Assistant.
After the initial steps, I got the following message:
<h5>
OracleAS RepCA was not able to find the Oracle Text Supplied
Knowledge Base in the database specified. </h5>
<h5>If you are planning to use this repository for installing
OracleAS Portal, you have to install Oracle Text Supplied Knowledge Base.

<h5>

installing OracleAS Portal, you may continue further. Continue? Yes/No?</h5>
I continued with "Yes" and I chose the storage option as
"Regular or Cluster File system". In the next step -<strong>Specify Tablespace
information</strong>, I chose to install it in the C:\ , where there was approx 18GB
of free space. Yet, I encountered the following error:
<h5>
Unable to create tablespace. Please see the OracleAS RepCA
log file for more details.</h5>
<h5>ORA-01119 error in creating database file 'string'</h5>
<h5>Cause: Insufficient space on device or invalid database file

<h5>b) Decrease the size of the requested file or allocate a

decreasing the size. I further tried using another directory where there was
11GB of free space. It still didn't work.
Please HELP!

Hi Suhas,
Can you please do the following?
1. Please try pointing to C:\b2b.dbf file during installation and see if the installation goes fine or not.

Grapbical Display of Metadata repository in SAP BW 7.31

We have updraded to the Support pack level 04 and now I could see object details tab but when I click on it its shows

Note
The termination occurred in system with error code 403 and for the reason Forbidden.
What can I do?Please select a valid URL.

Your SAP Internet Communication Framework Team
In general, object details shows network display of data flows? or is there anything I am missing apart from ICF.
Please let me know how this can be resloved...
Thanks in advance

Hello,
As of 7.30 the BW Metadata Repository has been designed as a WebDynpro Application. It can also run as an imbedded process in the Analytic Workbench (RSA1). Due to the nature of this technology
a separate login to the WebAS is needed to establish a Web-Session on the local WebAS. However if Single Sign On for the target system is activated the WebAS may be customized to use it as well. In this case you would see no login screen when calling the BW Metadata Repository. Please also note that also all relevant ICF-Services for BW must be active (i.e. all Web Document services) to be able to use the repository normally. Please find here some useful links to relevant ICF and ICM
documentation which might help you to properly set up your system:

Metadata Repository search doesn't work NW 2004

Hi all,
After system patching Metadata Repository search stoped working, when I start search short dump occurs
"Function parameter "PTEXT" is unknown.
Error in ABAP application program.
The current ABAP program "CL_RSO_REPOSITORY=============CP" had to be
terminated because one of the statements could not be executed.
This is probably due to an error in the ABAP program.
Function module "SUSR_INTERFACE_PROF" was called
with the parameter "PTEXT".
This parameter is not defined."
I tried to find SAP-notes, but was able to find about NW 2004s
NW 2004, Basis 6-40, BW 3.5, SP BW21, SP Basis21
Any help will be appreciated
Thanks in advance,
Elena

Hi Susanne,
unfortunately NO repository is indexed by default so therefore you can not find Room Content before you create an index with the relevant information.
You must create yourself a new index of the repository where Room Content is stored. In EP6 SP2 Patch 5 and higher as well as NW'04 this should be /room_extensions. So add this repository as the Data Source of the index.
After indexing you should be able to perform search of the room content.
Hope this helps,
Robert
