Easy installation of the Repository Object Browser - Web Designer do it now

As the original developer of the Oracle Designer Web Assistant that has been part of Oracle Designer since 2003 as Repository Object Browser (ROB)- in patch-sets for Design 6i and 9i as well as the standard 10g release - I would like to provide you all with a very simple, 10 minute configuration guide to get you all going with the ROB.
ROB is really very simple to get up and running and it offers a very useful set of functionality.
For instructions, please look at the article I posted recently on our weblog: http://technology.amis.nl/blog/index.php?p=744
Enjoy!

I also need to be able to control how JRE is installed, over an intrane and the web, because my application requires ebcidic 277 from the extra libs, I have to be sure the end user installs this, and our customers are still using products from net banks which still use MSJVM, so I have to disable the SUN JVM Plugin.
I have not found a solution to pass parameters to installer from web page object.
The best solution I have come up with so far was to create a simple native installer, which i have put into a .cab file with an .inf file, signed this and placed this on a web page.
The user clicks yes on a single security warning dialog, and then the installer is downloaded and started, this then pulls JRE from web server to PC and executes the installer with a /s plus the parameter settings needed for install a specific installation.

Thanks Sandra, we will look into it.
By the way, do you know why they removed the possibility to create and manage multiple roles in the ROB security manager as was was available in ODWA?

Repository Object Browser - unable to use Download functions

We want to use the options
- Download Folder Contents in one zipfile
- Recursively Download Folder Structure Contents
in the Repository Object Browser (version 9.0.4.7) of Designer.
Clicking on these options gives the following error:
Not Found
The requested URL /rob/oracle.des.rob.standardServices.Download was not found on this server.
Oracle-HTTP-Server/1.3.28 Server at JSTD-OWCDD01.ad.minjus.nl Port 7777
How can we solve this problem?

If you are trying to use change control within a Designer Repository that does NOT have version control enabled, then you may be better off by creating new application folders for each new release. I do this by judicious use of naming and a hierarchical structure e.g.
Project_Name (Folder) - This is a container to hold all versions of the application
Project namev1.0 (Application System)
Project namev1.1 (Application System)
Project namev1.2 (Application System)
Project namev1.3 (Application System)
I create a new version by exporting and importing the previous version.

Install Repository Object Browser

I have installed iDeveloper and iDesigner v9.0.2.80.6. I would like to install the Repository Object Browser, how do I go about installing ROB.
thanks in advance.

Peter,
The ROB is installed for you. What you need to do is configure it to use it. Go to your OS Start menu and invoke the Designer program menu. You should find the "ROB Configuration Guide". There are also viewlets on OTN on the ROB.

Exact table where the repository objects are stored

Hi,
In which table the repository objects(Program,FM,Data Element,...) are stored exactly.
I checked in TADIR table, but it's a directory for the repository objects.
Also checked TRDIR.
Say, If I delete a transport request which contains a report thru a 'Z_delete_request' prgm, I can still see the report in SE38.Ofcourse I have deleted in TADIR also.
But presents in repository.
Kindly suggest the exact table name.
Regards,
Siva

Does Service Pack installation modify the repository db ?

Hello,
Does anybody know if installation of Service Packs on a old XI R2 platform modify in some way the repository database ?
The purpose of this question is this :
My production platform is XI R2 SP1, and I would like to upgrade to SP4 without any risk for my users.
To do that, I wonder if building a new platform with SP4, testing, and then shutting down the old CMS and linknig the new CMS to the production repository would work.
It should be the case if SP doesn't need new structure or data on the repository database...
Can anybody confirm that this works ?
Thanks in advance

Hi Francois,
I presume you're on some flavor of Windows. If that's the case, do the following to copy the CMS db (once your new system is up and working):
1. Stop the CMS from the CCM.
2. Right-click on the CMS --> Properties.
3. Switch to the configuration tab.
4. In the CMS Data Source section, click on Specify.
5. Select Copy data from another Data Source.
This will copy data from your Production data source to your new environment.
As for the FRS, you do not need to copy the FRS folders. Once your CMS db is copied, you only need to point the I/O FRS of your new (SP4) environment to the FRS locations of your old(SP1) environment.
Please do ensure that everything is backed up though (i.e. FRS folder structure and CMS db).
Also, if Auditing is enabled on your SP1 deployment, it would be best to turn off auditing before stopping the CMS, copying the CMS db.
Best,
Srinivas

Can the MIni handle graphic/web design?

I was wondering if the Mac mini was enough to use as a computer for web design. I mainly plan to use Adobe software (Dreamweaver, photoshop, etc.). What configurations should I get if it is giid enough to use? I was thinking about just getting the base model then adding 2g ram and a large external hard drive. Would that work?

Welcome to Apple Discussions!
I run Photoshop and Dreamweaver on systems far older and slower than a Mac mini (also on a G4 mini) and they run perfectly well, so there is no reason to believe an Intel mini would not run such software admirably well.
It is worth adding however that for versions of software written for PPC systems (G3, G4 and G5 based Macs) it would be wise to ensure that you have more, rather than less, memory in the system since while the software will run, it requires an on-the-fly translator to do so. This translator, Rosetta, is built-in to MacOS so there is nothing to add to enable it's use, but it is a bit of a memory hog in itself and in a Mac mini, maxing out the RAM to 2Gb allows it to run reasonably well. Added to Photoshop's need for lots of memory and hard drive space to run efficiently, and a base model mini with 2Gb RAM and a fast external drive should be able to handle the task well.
It's easy to mistake the mini's size as an indication of it's power, performance and capabilities, but it is a remarkably powerful system. In terms of processing alone, the base model is not far off the performance levels of the fully professional Macs of very recent years - many of which are still in active service doing extensive work in publishing, design, image and video editing and production, web authoring and much more.

Problems persisting the collection object in Web dynpro context

Hello,
I am trying to bind a Instance of hashtable (java.util.Hashtable) in the context.
I instantiate a hashtable and bind it to the context for the first time, when i fetch it, it returns null. Is it possible to store a collection object in the context ??
I am a newbie with Web dynpro - java. Sorry if it is a repeated question.
Awaiting the suggestions.
Thanks in advance,
Harish

Hi Harish,
Welcome to SDN. Yes, it is possible to bind a collection object in the context.

Can we interchange the Axis objects in web intelligence.

Hi, All.
I have a report, in that Bar chart has Dimension and Measure objects.. I would like to interchange dimensions. Is it possible in Web Intelligence?
Thanks in Advance...
Arjun.

Hi Arjun,
You can achieve it with Input controls Custom value property .
Let's say you have month , week and sales.
You want to change the month and week in chart.
1.create a variable with default value
Choose Dimension
Month (don't put =Month, it'll give error)
Place this in input control, in Custom values , enter value Week
Create another variable
=If([Choose Dimension]="Month";[Month];If([Choose Dimension]="Week";[Week]))
use this variable in charts.
change your selections with Input control.

Exception Error while validating the repository object at repository BODS: Read time out

Hi Team,
While creating BO data service Source system in RSA1 we are facing
attached error . I could not found any relevant notes or forum discussion
on that particular error.
RFC is working fine with registered program ID .
Can you please suggest what could be the reason for such error.
I have followed the same steps mentioned on http://scn.sap.com/docs/DOC-45514 .
Current SAP BW version is 7.31 SP07 .
Thanks and Regards
Abhimanyu

Hi Abhimanyu Singh Rathore,
This seems to be a strange error.
Normally error occurs at Program ID., Gateway and all.
But from your message, I understand that the RFC check (Source system check/SM59) is successful.
Could you be kind enough to tell me exactly at which step is this error occurring and are you getting any other error messages/error codes at any stages...

Biar file import does not import any repository object

Hi,
I have extracted a Biar file from Business Objects Enterprise XI 2.0 Server and it has size 20 MB. When I import this file into another Server using Import Wizard which has Business Objects Enterprise XI 2.0, the outcome is unfavorable. Inspite of both the source and target system being on same enterprise version (11.5.8.1111) plus both on Service Pack 2 Fix Pack 2.7, the repository objects log within the Import Wizard shows 0 objects imported.
What is the remedy to this situation ?
Regards,
Neonevin

Hello,
Not really that I know of.
Well this is a big problem since we can not export projects easaly between different computers. Or back to the same computer using this metod insted of the whole project fils and associated files.
Also there might be a problem exporting to different editing programs as Premiere.
And Apple do not seem to bother. We have to try to solve problems like this in forums and searching for answers and plugins for hours.
This i think will make us to leave final cut as editing software.
Also this version of final cut x - apart from final cut 7 does not seem to be able to export audio in a proper way.
Especially the audio that can be a little bit lika a worms nest seems to be impossible to export with all or most of the options left. It wants to put everything together in mixes audio tracks.
