Error in instance config xml

Question

Hi
I am trying to integrate mapviewer with OBIEE, when i connect to the datasource from the mapviewer, and try to click on any of the demo Oracle maps, I am getting an error saying that...." *Cannot get map cache instance config information for MVDEMO.DEMO_MAP*."
When check in the start OC4J its showing " *ERROR Not found in MDSYS.CS_SRS: srid=8307, Warning Invalid cache root directory :/scrtrach/mvdemomaps*"
This "/scratch/mvdemomaps" path is there in USER_SDO_CACHED_MAPS_TABLE under DEFINITION column in MDSYS Schema in the database. whereas this root directory path is different in the Oracle application server Mapviewer --->Mangement-->Managing Map Tile Layers--->DEMO_MAP-->Tile storage-->" *C:\OracleBI\oc4j_bi\j2ee\home\applications\mapviewer\web\tilecache\MVDEMO.DEMO_MAP\*
My doubt is whether this both path (in the mapviewer and in the database) should be the same. Because i am unable to render any of the demo maps.
Can somebody please throw some light on it.
Thanks

Answer 1

first don't use MDSYS.
use mvdemo or some other user.
anyway
Not found in MDSYS.CS_SRS is the error you may want to resolve first.
Is Spatial correctly installed and functioning in that database instance?
select count(1) from cs_srs should return something like
COUNT(1)
4409
similarly connect as a dba or other privileged user and
select count(1) from all_objects where owner='MDSYS' and status='INVALID';
should give
COUNT(1)
0
or 1 or some small number.
and
select count(1) from all_objects where owner='MDSYS';
COUNT(1)
1468
If all of the above are OK then next step is to look at
whether the user mdsys is locked.
