How to get locations in Module?

Question

How to get locations in Module?
We are using OWB repository 10.2.0.1.0 and OWB client 10.2.0.1.31. The Oracle version is 10 G (10.2.0.3.0). OWB is installed on Linux.
As we create target schema, it created location with host/port option. It is not allowing us to change to sql*net type connection. I tried after unregistering via CC as well.
I created new location under location explorer as SQL*Net type location (L-SQL). I tested the location and registered via CC.
I tried to configure in existing module (right click, configure) to point to new location (L-SQL). The new location L_SQL is not showing up in tables's location drop down list.
Any idea ?
I like to find out, what are modules use the specific locations like impact analysis on locations.
Do we have such features in OWB?
Thanks in advance.

Hi RI,
there is no direct impact analysis on locations in OWB.
But you can use OMBPlus or public views for getting this info
Public views:
select * from ALL_IV_OBJECT_CONFIGURATIONS where configured_object_name='<module_name>' and configuration_parameter_name='DB_LOCATION';
and/or
select location_name,metadata_location_name from ALL_IV_MODULES where information_system_name='<module_name>';
OMBPlus command:
OMBRETRIEVE ORACLE_MODULE '<module_name>' GET REFERENCE METADATA_LOCATION;
OMBRETRIEVE ORACLE_MODULE '<module_name>' GET REFERENCE LOCATION;
OMBRETRIEVE ORACLE_MODULE '<module_name>' GET REFERENCE LOCATIONS;
OMBRETRIEVE ORACLE_MODULE '<module_name>' GET REFERENCE DEFAULT LOCATION;
OMBRETRIEVE ORACLE_MODULE '<module_name>' GET PROPERTIES (DB_LOCATION);
Last OMBPlus command can return different values for different configurations.
