How to login to OWB Design Browser

Hi everyone,
when i try to open OWB Design Browser it is asking the following
details :
Oracle HTTP Server Host ______________________
(The Oracle HTTP server host you provide must contain the entire path including the domain name. )
Oracle HTTP Server Port _______________________
( The default Oracle HTTP server port is 7777. )
Oracle HTTP Server DAD ________________________
(The Oracle HTTP Server Database Access Descriptor (DAD) is the same as your Warehouse Builder design repository name or user name. )
where can i get these details ?
how can i log in to get into my local OWB design reports?
Please guide me,
Thanks,

Ashvin
These values come from the serever that is hosting your repository. The Design Browser is a web interface so you need to have an HTTP server running. In our case we are using the Apache software that loads with the database and we are runing it on a UNIX server.
The HTTP service must be started.
The port used is 7777 by default but you can change that in the Project->Preferences->Browser tab from within OWB. Set this port to whatever you have in that Browser tab.
The DAD, as the note says, defaults to the username of the Design Repository and is usually set up during the install. You can see the DAD's that are set up by using your browser and going to http://<servername>:<port>. There will be a link to the DAD set up screen.
Hope this helps a little. Good luck.

Running OWB design browser

Hi
I am trying to access OWB design browser but I am getting the following error in my Apache error logs.
/pls/wb_runtime_rep/wb_runtime_rep.wmp_api_call.home ORA-0
wb_runtime_rep.wmp_api_call.home: PROCEDURE DOESN'T EXIST
I configured DADS from the http server home page using
Mod_plsql Configuration Menu
My OC4J instance is running.
I checked for the user "wb_runtime_rep" there is no package "wmp_api_call".
Is this what I am missing ?

I just checked the database sessions.
It is infact hitting the database with the repository username.

OWB Design Browser reports Unexpected Error

Hi,
I am trying OWB904 demo on OracleDB 9.2.0.2 and I have problem with OWB Design Browser. I can view all the reports but seems that I can not see any Diagrams (Impact and/or Lineage) - every time I get error message:
Unexpected Error
Unexpected Error
The operation can not be performed at the present time. Please contact your administrator for assistance.
I already tried Refreshing Dependency Index (several times) and set the MS_IE Browser setting for "Check for newer versions of stored page" to "every visit to the page". Does not help - still getting "Unexpected Error".
Any hint what else to try ???

Bojan,
There are two possibilities, both related to installation and set-up:
1. Has XML Toolkit been installed in SYS schema? This XML Toolkit is needed for Lineage diagrams to show correctly.
Check under SYS schema, whether you have XMLDOM and XMLParser package. Other way to check this is to see whether you have any invalid state package or package body in your OWB repos schema(OWBB_LIA and LIA_CLIENT are related to lineage diagrams).
2. Check two tables: lia_xml_table and lia_xml_table2 have existed in OWB repos schema or not. They are needed for diagrams. One reason they may not been created during installation is these tables contain CLOB columns, and Oracle has a limitation: According to the 9i documentation: You cannot store LOBs in AUTO segment-managed tablespaces.

How to open the OWB Design Center in Linux

Hi All,
Currently, our OWB10.2. is installed in the Window2003 server, I could login the servers and go to Program -> OWB -> Design Center to open the Design center and create my own project or mapping.
We just install OWB 10.2.0.4 in a Linux Ret Hat server, I don't know how to open the Design Center from the Linux.
Should I open it from the Linux server(How), or I could remotely launch the Design Center from my PC (Window XP) to create my project (actually try to migrate project from the weindow2003 server to Red hat Linux server)?
Thanks
Kevin

Hi David,
I found the file and executed it, but got this list of errors, do you have any idea?
Thanks

OWB Design Browser

Hi,
I am trying to use the Design Browser but it does not work. Here are the steps I followed.
-- apache is started
-- started the OC4J instance
-- created the DAD
-- started design browser, it shows up this address in the browser : http://127.0.0.1:8999/owbb/DBLogin.uix
-- After I type in the HTTP server host name, port, DAD, it prompts me for a username and password dialog box.
-- I typed here the schema name and password where the Design repository is installed.
After this it gives me 'The page cannot be found' error in the browser. Any help will be appreciated.
Thanks Venkat.

Venkat,
As a test, you might want to try to save the password in de DAD and then use the URL:
http://<hostname>:<port>/pls/<repown>/<repown>.wmp_api_call.home
where <repown> is the name of the design repository owner and of the DAD.
For example:
http://127.0.0.1:8999/pls/dwrep/dwrep.wmp_api_call.home
You then bypass the OC4J instance (no need to start it).
regards,
Emiel.

Owb design repository

I am unable to log in OWB Design Browser for report generation on Design Repository. I am in a Oracle client machine as well as it is OWB client. It giving an error message, 'Invalid Oracle HTTP Server information' whenever I am trying to login OWB design browser.
I am providing ip address of my oracle database server i.e host machine, port no, user id. What could be the reason and what is the solution?
And also I want to know the exact data for all these three columns.

The design repo is a metadata repo that stores all the design-time objects and so forth.
It is an architectural decision that you or your team need to decide on. There are many flexible ways to architect an OWB infrastructure.
Also, your repository users will be using the design repository on the the other DB instance to do their design work...potentially less people always hitting the target database all the time.

Design Browser

hi,
I was installed OWB and all works ok except Design repository.
I put this data at the login page:
Oracle HTTP Server Host: 15.0.0.25
Oracle HTTP Server Port: 7777
Oracle HTTP Server DAD: repos_usr
but when I try to login, a "ENTER NETWORK PASSWORD" dialog appears and shows:
site: 15.0.0.25
Realm: repos_usr
and ask to me the pass and usr. But I don´t know what usr and pass it refers.
Regards,
Ana

To see the design browser in local mode (the most often used mode) you can start the OWB design browser from the OWB program menu. You will have to provide the host name (localhost if you are running everything on the same machine), the HTTP port where the database http server runs (usually 7777, 7778 or 7779) and the Database Access Descriptor (the design repository schema name). You also have to run the OC4J instance (start it from the OWB program menus). You seem to have some network problems in accessing the host you entered - can you check this with your network administrator?

How to login Design Browser

I have Oracle 9i Server, OWB 9.2 Server and Client installed in my system ( Windows 2000 Professional ). Actually I want to login to Design Browser to view reports on design repository. So, for that I have created a DAD. While entering all the required information, its ask again for a user name and password. After entering three times it throws an error which is "Authorization Required
This server could not verify that you are authorized to access the document requested. Either you supplied the wrong credentials (e.g., bad password), or your browser doesn't understand how to supply the credentials required. Oracle HTTP Server Powered by Apache/1.3.22 Server at tcs044227.tcskolkata.co.in Port 7778". And I am unable to login.
Anybody can help me out in this matter.
Thanks

How to organize work in OWB Design Centre to enable dimension sharing?

Hi all,
I'm looking for some guidance regarding the best way to go about organizing my work in OWB Design Centre to enable sharing of work already done and to avoid duplication.
Currently I have one area:
1 Project
4 Source modules
1 Target module with 3 dimensions
Now I want to start developing a new area (there will be about 10 areas in the end). This area must share 2 source modules and 2 dimensions from the target module. It should only use those dimensions, not be able to change it. Each area will be derived to a Business Area in Disco Admin.
How wil be the best way to do this:
- Should I create a new project or create another target module?
- Should I maybe have everything in one target module with 10 different cubes using selections of the dimensions?
- If I have different target modules, will I still be able to derive the Business Area to the same EUL?
Thanks!

Hi,
grouping cubes and their relating objects into a collection is a good help for oraganizing your objects for development.
For deployment, you have introduce some kind of (manual) release mangement.
We use the following process:
1. Add all objects belonging to a release to a collection "REL_V1" (you have to identify these objects manually)
2. Export this collection to a mdl file
3. Import the file into your target environment (e.g. integration, production).
4. Deploy the collection "REL_V1"
In december, I will give a talk about how to automatize this process using OMB*Plus on the german DOAG conference. The presentation and the code will be available for download on owb.metafinanz.de shortly after the conference.
Unfortunately, the presentation will be available only in german, but should give you the main ideas anyway.
Regards,
Carsten.

One schema for OWB Design repository, runtime repository and target schema

Currently we have contents of OWB Design schema, runtime schema and target schema all combined into one schema of the same database in OWB 9.0.2 as well as OWB3i. We like to move to OWB10g in very near future. Can we keep the same structure for convenience of migration in OWB10g? Is it mandatory that OWB design repository (and components) must be separate from OWB run time repository (and components) and target schema? In other words is it possible and workable to use only one schema to contain OWB design repository, OWB run time repository and target schema in OWB10g environment with repositories to be situated on Oracle v9.2.0.1.0? Also what special considerations should be taken to create the database v9.2.0.1.0 and installation of OWB10g. What are the problems/side-effects to have all in one schema?
Also please let me know how to install Oracle Workflow server to be used along with OWB. Will OWB10g work with repository on Oracle database v9.2.0.1.0?
Your prompt advice will be very well appreciated.

How to block MacKeeper and other browser ads

how to
block MacKeeper and other browser ads

There is no need to download anything to solve this problem. You may have installed a variant of the "VSearch" ad-injection malware. Follow Apple Support's instructions to remove it.
If you have trouble following those instructions, see below.
Malware is always changing to get around the defenses against it. This procedure works as of now, as far as I know. It may not work in the future. Anyone finding this comment a few days or more after it was posted should look for a more recent discussion, or start a new one.
The VSearch malware tries to hide itself by varying the names of the files it installs. To remove it, you must first identify the naming pattern.
Triple-click the line below on this page to select it, then copy the text to the Clipboard by pressing the key combination command-C:
/Library/LaunchDaemons
In the Finder, select
          Go ▹ Go to Folder...
from the menu bar and paste into the box that opens by pressing command-V. You won't see what you pasted because a line break is included. Press return.
A folder named "LaunchDaemons" may open. Look inside it for two files with names of the form
          com.something.daemon.plist
and
           com.something.helper.plist
Here something is a variable string of characters, which can be different in each case. So far it has always been a string of letters without punctuation, such as "cloud," "dot," "highway," "submarine," or "trusteddownloads." Sometimes it's a meaningless string such as "e8dec5ae7fc75c28" rather than a word. Sometimes the string is "apple," and then you must be especially careful not to delete the wrong files, because many built-in OS X files have similar names.
If you find these files, leave the LaunchDaemons folder open, and open the following folder in the same way:
/Library/LaunchAgents
In this folder, there may be a file named
          com.something.agent.plist
where the string something is the same as before.
If you feel confident that you've identified the above files, back up all data, then drag just those three files—nothing else—to the Trash. You may be prompted for your administrator login password. Close the Finder windows and restart the computer.
Don't delete the "LaunchAgents" or "LaunchDaemons" folder or anything else inside either one.
The malware is now permanently inactivated, as long as you never reinstall it. You can stop here if you like, or you can remove two remaining components for the sake of completeness.
Open this folder:
/Library/Application Support
If it has a subfolder named just
           something
where something is the same string you saw before, drag that subfolder to the Trash and close the window.
Don't delete the "Application Support" folder or anything else inside it.
Finally, in this folder:
/System/Library/Frameworks
there may an item named exactly
            v.framework
It's actually a folder, though it has a different icon than usual. This item always has the above name; it doesn't vary. Drag it to the Trash and close the window.
Don't delete the "Frameworks" folder or anything else inside it.
If you didn't find the files or you're not sure about the identification, post what you found.
If in doubt, or if you have no backups, change nothing at all.
The trouble may have started when you downloaded and ran an application called "MPlayerX." That's the name of a legitimate free movie player, but the name is also used fraudulently to distribute VSearch. If there is an item with that name in the Applications folder, delete it, and if you wish, replace it with the genuine article from mplayerx.org.
This trojan is often found on illegal websites that traffic in pirated content such as movies. If you, or anyone else who uses the computer, visit such sites and follow prompts to install software, you can expect more of the same, and worse, to follow. Never install any software that you downloaded from a bittorrent, or that was downloaded by someone else from an unknown source.
In the Security & Privacy pane of System Preferences, select the General tab. The radio button marked Anywhere should not be selected. If it is, click the lock icon to unlock the settings, then select one of the other buttons. After that, don't ignore a warning that you are about to run or install an application from an unknown developer.
Then, still in System Preferences, open the App Store or Software Update pane and check the box marked
          Install system data files and security updates (OS X 10.10 or later)
or
          Download updates automatically (OS X 10.9 or earlier)
if it's not already checked.

How to Login to Web Dynpro developer studio in real time scenario.

Hi,
1. How to Login to Web Dynpro developer studio in real time scenario.
Do we have login pad and User id to enter developer studio.
Is the user id for login maintained in UME of J2EE engine.
2. How to stop and start j2ee engine in real time. Is it same SAP Management console is used like in Demo version.
3. If I use central server, Do I have to install GUI like SAP R/3 GUI to Develop, test and deploy my application.
Cheers,
Sam

Hi,
What do you mean with real time scenario? Do you talk about runtime?
NetWeaver Developer Studio (NWDS) is only for design time and you install it on the local PC/laptop of the developer. The 'connection' between NWDS and engine is specified in the preferences (Window->Preferences->SAP J2EE engine) of NWDS. The development track is in 'real life' (e.g. if the engine is a remote one) connected with support from SLD (System Landscape Directory) which is a tool for managing the NWDI (NetWeaver Development Infrastructure). In normal case, there are so-called 'development configurations' that can be imported into NWDS (Window->Preferences->Java Development Infrastructure).
For starting and stopping the engine, there are several possibilities: SAP MMC, view in NWDS or console.
If you've a central server, you connect your NWDS to this central server and then you can deploy to this central server.
Regards,
Jan

Defining roles and access for OWB Designer

Hi,
Can i Define roles and access rights to different on 1 OWB Designer repository?
I want to send my mappings for code review but i dont want them to log into the OWB designer with write access.
How can i achieve this in the same OWB designer repository as the one i am using?
I am using OWB 10.1.
I found some table - WMP_USER_ROLES,WMP_GROUP_ROLES,WMP_GROUP_REPOSITORIES
when i logged into the designer schema through sqlplus
Thanks
Sagar

Hi Sagar,
Yes you can do that. Basically you can create a db user, and then register the user with a repository. By default that user has all privileges, however it now is audited per user as to what he/she did. How to do this look at the doc (find SecurityHelper)
To enable you to protect metadata there are a couple of strategies (implemented via a simple PL/SQL API). For an example (this one works with policies on the module level) take a look here (http://www.oracle.com/technology/sample_code/products/warehouse/files/Dev_Status_Policy.SQL)
This would work as follows:
- Create user REVIEW
- Register user REVIEW to repos QA
- For a module you want review for, set the status to QA
Now the REVIEW user logs in and he can look at QA but cannot touch.
Hope this helps,
Jean-Pierre
In your situation
