Lineage Report in OWB 9.2 without Portal

Question

Hello,
I would like if there is a way to use the Lineage Report without having Portal installed. I try by starting the OC4J Instance, but the browser display the error page page cannot be found.
Any tips ?
Thanks

This is the quick write up on this:
If you want to use the browser locally, you have to set up an HTTP listener on the database. The one that ships as part of the 9i Enterprise
Edition database that you use for the design environment can be used for this purpose. You also have to create a database access descriptor that points to the
<OWB92> schema. To do that, make sure the HTTP listener is up and running (on a Windows platform, this is a service). Use a browser to navigate to the HTTP
server index by using http://<machine and domain>:<port number> (example: http://mwiel-pc.us.oracle.com:7778). Click on Mod_plsql Configuration Menu.
Click on Gateway Database Access Descriptor Settings. Click Add Default (blank configuration). Enter a Database Access Descriptor Name (for example, use
<OWB92>), Schema (use <OWB92>), Oracle User Name (use <OWB92>), Oracle Password (use password for <OWB92>) and Oracle Connect String (beware
that the connect string uses SID in the <host name>:<port number>:<SID> connect string, not Service name). The remainder of the properties can be left as is.
Click OK and close the browser.
To invoke it using the OWB menu, make sure you have the OC4J engine running, and you are ready to go. From Warehouse Builder... set the preference under project,
preferences (menu). Beware that for the local installation this only works if everything runs on one machine (design repository, respository database and http listener).
