Help installing OWB 10gR1 "reviewers CD"

Hi,
can anyone help me with the install of the OWB 10.1.0.4 version of the "Reviewer's CD"? I'm trying to get up to speed (quickly) on OWB, and I know "Paris" is out, but wanted to go through the self-paced learning.
The problem I'm having is this - I need to install the reviewers CD against a 10.2 database, when it looks like its designed for 10.1. I keep getting an error during the "setup" step - right after where the tables in the "review" schema are populated, I get an error saying that "sys_user does not have DBA privledges" (or something similar).
I've tried this several times on different machines, different databases, etc. I'm sure that the sys user (obviously) does have DBA privs.
Can anyone help?
Thanks,
Scott

Hi
I had the same problem in a project. Finally I used 10g1 db instead of 10g2, and everything was fine.
But some days before I read a solution in this forum for your problem. Search the forum.

  • Java Error Installing OWB Reviewers Guide

    I've installed OWB 10g from the Reviewers guide CD and am now setting up the repository. The import of the REVIEW schema has finished and I believe it is now at the stage of running RunInstall.tcl. I am getting the following errors - any ideas???

    Sorry, I was more after directories... The reviewersguide tries to automate setup of a system. So it runs things from a certain set of locations (using parameters but these are hardcoded).
    The error looks like it is not finding some stuff on the machine in order to execute the script. Is your home and directory according to the setup documents??
    Thanks,

  • Oracle DB prerequisites for installing OWB?

    Hi,
    I am planning to install OWB for a prototype project for a client.
    But I wanted to make sure that whatever I do now can be repeated at the time of the actual project too. For other things, I see no problem, but installation remains one.
    I need to install Oracle 10g first and then OWB in case of the prototype. But later I will find Oracle DB already in place and just OWB has to be installed.
    Is someone aware of the steps required to set up Oracle DB if it has to support OWB later on. Can someone please suggest me the proper way to set up Oracle DB first and then OWB?
    I am concerned because in the I have seen OWB installations failing when they were done at an existing Oracle DB setup. (may be some Init parameters were required to be set before OWB is installed)
    Also, is anyone aware of some typical problems that we face while working on Red Hat linux?
    thanks

    Hi Ron,
    Good questions..You have a number of options here and it depends how you want to manage your repository in terms of different environments (dev, test, training etc). In terms of users I would recommend creating a repository owner (in effect the DBA of the repository) and then create additional users for each person in your team. These other users can then connect to the repository and create new projects, design objects and deploy objects as required. By creating new users you can create a security layer within the system to prevent certain team members from deploying objects to specific database instances.
    There are a number of options for managing versioning within OWB. There is a demo viewlet on the OWB website that explains the basic concepts, although it relates to OWB 10gR1.
    http://www.oracle.com/technology/products/warehouse/htdocs/OTN_viewlet.html
    Version management in OWB
    With OWB 10gR2 a few things have changed. However, the simplest configuration is to have one design repository and multiple target instances, each with their own OWB repository installation. For the Target schemas, the installation of the OWB repository is used simply to run the control centre as this is required to manage and record the deployment of objects into the various target schemas. You can then create different configurations in your design repository to control the different characteristics of each target instance (use of tablespaces, enabling/disabling parallel features etc).
    The flaw with this simple approach is that you have no version control within the design repository. If you make changes to the design repository objects after you have deployed them to a specific schema there is no ability to recreate the target schema if something happens because the design repository has been updated. Therefore, depending on how you want to manage you target schemas in relation to the design repository you may want to create multiple design repositories to support each target schema (dev, test, qa, training, prod etc). Then to update a schema you would export your project from the design repository and import it into the target repository and then deploy the new design to the required schema. This type of approach does provide additional levels security allowing you greater control over access to each target schema.
    I thought there was some documentation being developed by the product management team but I have not seen it yet. I hope this helps, if not ping me again.

  • Error while installing OWB

    Error while installing OWB
    after 50% install.. it says
    "Error in writing to file c:\oracle\ora9201\bin\oci.dll
    The process cannot access the file because it is being used by another process"
    Apparently I have restarted the workstation and closed all oracle related services in services and no other program is running expect the installer.
    Can any one help in resolving the issue. Or can I hit the ignore button and continue installing?

    Always install OWB into a new ORACLE_HOME unless the Installation and Configuration Guide states otherwise. This has only happened twice. OWB 9.0.2.62.3 was the last version to allow installation into an existing ORACLE_HOME. Another thing you can do is go to www.sysinternals.com and download the utility LISTDLLs. It is great. From a command prompt, start it with the syntax: listdlls >log.txt
    This will output the DLLs in use and which executable is using it. Search for the DLL in the log.txt and scroll up until the double line. The executable name locking the DLL will be above the double line. If you have the Microsoft Distributed Transaction Coordinator Service running on the client, it will lock Oracle DLLs. This has been a common issue in the past, going back to the days of Data Mart Suite. This was documented in the Release Notes for it and may still be in the system in a note somewhere. It is in: DMS: Unable To Install; Filesopen/Service Running On Compaq Server Doc ID: Note:1080977.6 and Certain Files which need to be Reinstalled are Being Used Doc ID: Note:117672.1
    The first note I wrote back before 2000.

    1. Install OWB in a new home
    2. You must create a repository before you can start the Control Center Service
    3. I'm not sure, but I think you can use your local OWB
    Hope this helps

  • How to install owb server-side software on UNIX Solaris (SPACR-64)?

    Hi there,
    How to install owb server-side software on UNIX Solaris (SPACR-64)?
    I've read the install guide
    and it mentions
    3. Start the installer by entering the following at the prompt:
    cd mount_point
    ./runInstaller
    I don't have access to any graphical interface on the UNIX box e.g. x-windows nor any cd with the software, just the solaris software downloaded from web - does this include the runinstaller
    and is the runisnatller just a command line interface?
    I hoped I would be able to download the software from oracle website and then simply run the a setup scrip?
    Is it possible to do this? Would I simply substitute cd mount_point to cd <directory I put software)
    I've never ran oracle universall installer on UNIX before.
    Many Thanks

    Hi,
    You can install the server-side software from the downloaded software.
    You don't need the CD
    You do need an X-windows client on your computer to connect to the server OR work directly on the server.
    Without X-windows you cannot start the Oracle Universal Installer.
    Maybe there is a command line installation, I have never used this.
    I hope this helps.

  • Error installing OWB 10.2.0.1 repository on for AIX

    Hi!
    I'm trying to install OWB repository on AIX with repository assistant, but I'm stuck with the following error included on the log file generated:
    INS0017: Installation of the seeded data failed.
    oracle.wh.util.parser.ParseException:
    Internal Error: id generation error. Please contact Oracle Support with the stack trace and details on how to reproduce it.
    I read several posts and workaround about dropping schemas and roles, but none was effective.
    Also tried using "thin" user jdbc driver.
    This would be the first repository for OWB 10.2.0.1.
    Any help?

  • OWB 10gR1 Convert Date format (mm-dd-yyyy) to (yyyy-mm-dd)

    Hi All,
    In OWB 10gR1, I have flatfiles with Date fields having the format (mm-dd-yyyy). I want to load this data into the Staging table in (yyyy-mm-dd) format. How could I do this conversion in my staging mapping ?
    Using external tables is not an option.
    An detailed answer will be extremely helpful.
    Thanks community.

    Wich is this field's datatype in database? Is it date or char? If you are going to store it as a date datatype, you don't have to worry about the date format.
    Have you tried using the Expression Operator to perform the date string conversion in your mapping? Sorry about this lame drawing, but I think it will help you understand:
    source_table ------------ALL_COLUMNS_EXCEPT_DATE_DATATYPE-------TARGET_TABLE
                 |                                                 |
                 +-------EXPR{TO_DATE(DATE_FIELD, 'DATE_FORMAT')}--+In this example, you'll use an expression operator to convert the date string in the format you want. Map other attributes directly to your target table (or other transformations you need to perform).
    This is the generated script of a dummy plan I've built here:
    OPTIONS ( ERRORS=50, BINDSIZE=50000, ROWS=200, READSIZE=65536)
    LOAD DATA
      CHARACTERSET WE8MSWIN1252
      INFILE '{{LOC_FILE.RootPath}}load.csv'
    INTO TABLE "LOAD_TARGET"
      APPEND
      REENABLE DISABLED_CONSTRAINTS
      FIELDS
        TERMINATED BY ';'
        OPTIONALLY ENCLOSED BY '"'
      "COD" POSITION (1) INTEGER EXTERNAL ,
    "NOME" CHAR ,
    "DATA" CHAR "to_date( :\"DATA\" , 'yyyy-mm-dd')"

  • Installing OWB for Vista on Vista

    Hi folks,
    I'm trying to install OWB 10.2 for Vista on my laptop which happens to have Vista installed on it. The installation is stuck on the third or fourth screen. It asks me to specify a home location. I answer with the home for the Oracle 10.2.0.3 for Vista that I recently installed.
    My problem is that I get stuck at 80%. I've waited for 2 hours and still nothing. I tried a few times and I still have the same problem. I made sure to run it with admin priviledges (sp?). Still have the same problem :

    Hi,
    not sure if it applies to you, but it happened to me to get a dialog open waiting for user input below (covered) by the main window.
    I think it's something related to using Java for the Oracle Universal Installer (a "real" windows application would not allow a modal dialog go to "under" its main window).
    If it happens again try to move around the window to check out if there's something below.
    BTW It happened to me playing around with others applications while installing.
    Should not happens if you just launch the installer and wait doing nothing until it ends.
    Kind regards,
    Corrado

  • Installing OWB without server

    I want to install only the Client part of OWB on my notebook.
    I have downloaded the 10.2.0.3.0 for Windows Vista but when I launch the Oracle Universal Installer, only the complete installation is allowed.
    How can I install only the Design Center without the server components?

    Full installation of OWB is a client installation. OWB comes packaged with repository creation scripts (which you don't have to use on your local machine) and control center service (which you also don't have to use). So just install OWB and that's it.
    You will need a repository to work on. If you are unable to connect to a remote repository, you won't be able to use OWB client. In that case you will need a local repository in your local database.
    Hope this helps,
    Mate

    Using the 050621 shiphome release of 10gR2 on Linux we have noticed the INTERACTIONEXECUTE stored procedure is defined with definer rights - it should be invoker rights.

    Hi Igor,
    Thanx a lot for your answer. I installed successfully ORACLE 8.1.7 as well as OWB thanks to your advice (OWB Repository assistant).
    Nevertheless, I have another question :
    I have to build and setup a datawarehouse under oracle 8.1.7 (because the production DB is under it too), and
    I don't really know if I should :
    -think the DB as a star schema or a relationnal DB, wich may be normalized
    -build it with Oracle warehouse builder 9.3 to attack the DB under Oracle 8.1.7..........unless oracle 8.1.7 datawarehousing possibilities are sufficient, what I don't really know.
    Knowing that :
    -The firm is a software editor, in the retail business (so a lot of data to treat)
    -They want to make some reporting, probably with crystal reports 9 after I'll build the DWHSE.
    -They want refresh data all 24 hours and the Prod DB is about 5-15 Go (depends of the customers)
    The DWHSE may be 'classic' (products, customers, supplier, ticket, ...).
    What is your opinion ?
    Do you think I can contact a person of ORACLE in Geneva for advices ?
    Regards,
    Mike
