Getting Error in Master Repo creation in ODI 10.1.3.5

Question

Hi All,
I am creating Master repo with MS SQL Server 2000 and using two approches but getting error.
In first approch -
I am using Driver --->>> com.microsoft.sqlserver.jdbc.SQLServerDriver and
URL---->>> jdbc:sqlserver://localhost:1433;selectMethod=cursor;database=Master_ODI;integratedSecurity=false
Master repo starts but in between getting error "*connection closed*" and some time "*Not delete permission for user on SNP_LICENSE.*
Second Approch -
Using Driver -->> sun.jdbc.odbc.JdbcOdbcDriver
Url-->> jdbc:odbc: <DSN name with master database in SQl Server>
in this approch I am able to create Mater repo but in topology I am not able to see Master repo in Repository window.
Please help me out if Iam doing somthing wrong or missed some steps.
Regards,
Vibhav

Just follow the below steps to create master repository in MS SQL Server, you can find these steps in odi installation folder.
Creating Repository Storage Spaces
Create a database db_snpm to host the Master repository and a database db_snpw to host the work repository. Create two logins snpm and snpw which have these databases by default.
Use Enterprise Manager to create the two databases db_snpm and db_snpw (allow about 40 Mb for Data and 20 Mb for Log for each of them)
Use Query Analyzer or I-SQL to launch the following commands:
CREATE LOGIN <mylogin>
        WITH PASSWORD = '<mypass>',
        DEFAULT_DATABASE = <defaultbase>,
        DEFAULT_LANGUAGE = us_english;
USE <defautbase>;
CREATE USER dbo FOR LOGIN <mylogin>;
GO
Where: <mylogin> corresponds to snpm or snpw <mypass> corresponds to a password for these logins <defaultbase> corresponds to db_snpm and db_snpw respectively
Creating the Master Repository
Creating the master repository consists of creating the tables and the automatic importing of definitions for the different technologies.
To create the master repository:
In the Start Menu , select Programs > Oracle Data Integrator > Repository Management > Master Repository Creation , or Launch bin/repcreate.bat or bin/repcreate.sh.
Complete the fields:
Driver : the driver used to access the technology which will host the repository. For more information, refer to the section JDBC URL Sample.
URL : The complete path for the data server to host the repository. For more information, refer to the section JDBC URL Sample.
User : The user id / login of the owner of the tables (previously created under the name snpm).
Password : This user's password.
ID : A specific ID for the new repository, rather than the default 0. This will affect imports and exports between repositories.
Technologies : From the list, select the technology your repository will be based on.
Language: Select the language of your master repository.
Validate by OK.
Creating the dictionary begins. You can follow the procedure on your console. To test your master repository, refer to the section Connecting to the master repository.
