Invalid Name Pattern in SQL Developer Data Modeler

Question

I am using Data Modeler version 3.3.0.747, I have exported a couple of data models (logical and physical) to an Oracle 11.2.0.3 database. I used the Reporting_Schema_Permissions.sql file to define the ID that owns the repository. Each data model that I exported returned the successful export message.
However when I use Oracle Data Modeler and connect (as a different user) to the repository to generate a report on one of the diagrams I immediately get an error returned. The error is (from the log file in datamodeler\log\datamodeler.log):
2013-04-19 08:36:12,233 [Thread-18] ERROR ReportsGenerationDialog - Generating report from Reporting Schema exception - invalid name pattern: username.OBJECTS_LIST
Where username is the name of the ID being used to generate the report (not the repository owner ID).
I have created public synonyms on the repository tables and views (though I must have missed where that was a requirement) so the repository objects can be seen by other users.
Has anyone encountered this and if so how did you resolve it. I have searched the web (and the Oracle forums) and so far had no hits on this issue. That seems to indicate that there is something I must have missed in the setup or such.
Thanks

Hi,
I think you didn't grant EXECUTE to package and types. Here is full working script:
DECLARE
CURSOR cur IS SELECT table_name, owner FROM all_tables WHERE owner='<owner>';
BEGIN
FOR rec IN cur LOOP
EXECUTE IMMEDIATE 'GRANT SELECT ON '||'<owner>'||'.'||rec.table_name||' to '||'<another_user>';
EXECUTE IMMEDIATE 'CREATE SYNONYM '||'<another_user>'||'.'||rec.table_name||' FOR '||'<owner>'||'.'||rec.table_name;
END LOOP;
END;
DECLARE
CURSOR cur IS SELECT view_name FROM all_views WHERE owner='<owner>';
BEGIN
FOR rec IN cur LOOP
EXECUTE IMMEDIATE 'GRANT SELECT ON '||'<owner>'||'.'||rec.view_name||' to '||'<another_user>';
EXECUTE IMMEDIATE 'CREATE SYNONYM '||'<another_user>'||'.'||rec.view_name||' FOR '||'<owner>'||'.'||rec.view_name;
END LOOP;
END;
DECLARE
CURSOR cur IS SELECT type_name FROM all_types WHERE owner='<owner>';
BEGIN
FOR rec IN cur LOOP
EXECUTE IMMEDIATE 'GRANT EXECUTE ON '||'<owner>'||'.'||rec.type_name||' to '||'<another_user>';
EXECUTE IMMEDIATE 'CREATE SYNONYM '||'<another_user>'||'.'||rec.type_name||' FOR '||'<owner>'||'.'||rec.type_name;
END LOOP;
END;
GRANT EXECUTE ON <owner>.pkg_osdm_utils to <another_user>;
CREATE SYNONYM <another_user>.pkg_osdm_utils FOR <owner>.pkg_osdm_utils;
There is no document for reporting repository install process. If you are exporting design for first time, the repository is automatically created for you.
When you get new version of DM you can
1. Use new repository
2. Upgrade existing one. If so, the simplest variant is to run /datamodeler/reports/DMRS_Upgrade_Script_<latest_vesrion>. Eventually compile single stored procedure.
Another variant for upgrade is with running osddm_upgr.sql, but there is some error, which is going to be fixed in the next release.
