Metadata Repository + IE 7.0 problem

Hi Gurus,
I have a problem trying to access the metadata repository in BW since I have upgraded my Internet Explorer version to 7.0 (IE 7.0). The screen just comes up blank! The web browser did not only impact my metadata reporsitory, I also have a problem viewing any help docs through hitting F1! Again the screen is always blank. Has anyone else had this problem and how did you resolve it. I just need more info so I can direct basis in the right way.
Many Thanks
DV

Hi DV,
From my personal experience IE7 does not yet fully support the EP functionalities and screen. One of my colleague wroking on IE7 had to uninstall it and started using IE6 again.
Bye

Rdbms patchset problem in installing metadata repository

hi ,
i m facing this problem while installing metadata repository for Oracle Application Server10g(9.0.4.0.0)
the error is ,
"the catalog objects stored in this database donot have the same version as the database software.
please review the post-installation steps of the RDBMS patchset and make sure that you have run
all required SQL scripts."
plz help

Hello,
You can login to the Metadata database and execute:
select * from dba_registry;
This will give you the version numbers for database components.

Problems Installing Oracle Metadata Repository into Existing Database

Folks,
I'm slowly going through the process of installing the Metadata Repository into a 10g database, using RepCA I've managed to determine all the DB parameters required for setting etc. The only thing RepCA now reports is missing is the Ultrasearch schema & packages.
I've copied the ultrasearch dirs from the RepCA distribution and placed them in my $ORACLE home dir, I've also attempted to run the admin install script 'wk0setup.sql' which throws out several errors listed below. If anyone has successfully gone through this process on Solaris I would love to hear your about your experience & advice.
Error 1. =================================================
User is WKSYS
... loading ultrasearch_db.jar
call sys.dbms_java.loadjava('-v -f -r -s -g PUBLIC $ORACLE_HOME/ultrasearch/lib/ultrasearch_db.jar', '((* wksys) (* public))')
ERROR at line 1:
ORA-29532: Java call terminated by uncaught Java exception:
oracle.aurora.server.tools.loadjava.ToolsError: Error during loadjava: Failures
occurred during processing. Check trace file for details
Error 2 (File Doesn't exist at all) ==============================
SP2-0310: unable to open file "/oracle/1020a/ultrasearch/admin/wk0launchq.pkh"
Error 3 (Again the file doesn't exist at all) ========================
SP2-0310: unable to open file "/oracle/1020a/ultrasearch/admin/wk0launchq.plb"
===========================================================

Hi guys,
I have used copy of that package from Oracle Identity Management installation, version 10.1.4.0.1 and have been able to complete manual Ultra Search installation. It's valid in dba_registry. After that I did run RepCA and metadata schemas have been created successfully in existing database, version 10.2.0.2. Be careful about database version, only 10.2.0.2 is certified with Oracle Identity management, so you need to run patch for upgrade to 10.2.0.2.
Hope this helps.

Is there another newer Installation guide from oracle?
thank you

Good question, rozester.
I encountered this problem also, while trying to install the SSO MRCA 10.1.4.3.1 on 64-bit RHEL5 (though it's at version 5.7 but I'm positive that won't make any difference to the result).
This may or may not match your situation, but when I looked in the log file $ORACLE_HOME/assistants/repca/log/repca_<datestamp>.log, I saw what was probably the reason behind the error:
<$ORACLE_HOME>/bin/sqlplus: error while loading shared libraries: libclntsh.so.9.0: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory
I think I remember seeing that the link operation during installation had failed, but I hoped it would be OK. And it possibly would have been, if I'd remembered to specify the destination database Oracle home rather than the SSO MRCA Oracle home when prompted (on the page where it asks for database home and log file path). Perhaps then it would have used the sqlplus binary from the database oracle home, and since that one definitely works, it might have worked. But before I thought of that, I did a workaround; I installed the SSO MRCA on a 32-bit RHEL5 box (using the same directory paths) and copied the shared library files to the 64-bit box's shared library directory via scp as follows:
cd $ORACLE_HOME/lib; scp -pr * oracle@rhel64box:$PWD/
When I re-ran $ORACLE_HOME/runRepca, it then worked without error. Another thing I could have tried is just running runRepca on the 32-bit RHEL5 box, and that probably would have worked too, but it probably would have been a lot slower compared to running it locally on the destination server; it's takes quite a while as it is.
Hope this helps. I'm sure it'll help me if next time I do this I forget what I did before and go searching again ;-)

How to include BC documentation in the metadata repository

Hi experts,
Currently, my bw 3.5 system doesn't display the business content documentation in the metadata repository, the one available in the help.sap.com sitie.
In the sap documentation is stated:
"To include SAP Content documentation in the online documentation generated for metadata objects, it must be installed in plain html http format for static help and using a Web server. The Content documentation can then be read by the Web server from any front end platform using the http protocol, and displayed in a Web browser.
You can find additional information about maintaining setting variants for online help (transaction SR13) in the Business Information Warehouse Implementation Guide (IMG), under the node General BW Settings ® Settings for Displaying SAP Content Documentation."
however I can figure out how to put the bc documentation in my metadata repository
I execute TC SR13, and has this entry in the PlainHtmlHttp tab:
ONLINE-EN WN32 IWBHELP http://help.sap.com saphelp_nw04/helpdata EN default is ON
I appreciate an step by step solution for my problem
thanks everybody

I dont know if theres a way to do that....
I think is not possibl because if you want to open the web pages of help.sap is requered that your SAP system would have http connection directly to internet and at least by a security issue no recommended.....
Use sap help in web....

Applying 10.1.2.3 Metadata Repository update in 10.1.4.3 distributed IDM

Hi there, I seem to have a unique issue.
I have the following config of 10.1.4.3 IDM :
SSO in a separate Oracle home
OID in a separate Oracle home
DB (10.2.0.50) in a separte OH and metadata repository installed in this DB
and this is set up in ASR replication mode with other similer setup.
Task : Apply 10.1.2.3 OracleAS patchset.
The story:
To be fully compliant according to Orcale we ned to apply 10.1.2.3 patch. This patch has two components - a software update and a Metadata Repository (MR) update.
I have applied software update to all the Oracle homes above (with the exception of DB ofcourse).
But to apply MR update I have to do it from a mid-tier OH that also has MR installed, I have none.
I tried installing MR update from SSO and OID oracle home but it would not allow me , I got this message :
The Metadata Repository Update cannot be run from the selected ORACLE_HOME.
The Update must be run from either an Identity Management with Metadata
Repository installation ...
But we have no middle-tier using this MR, and from this metalik note, it seems applying MR update is not mandatory, only a desirable housekeeping execrcise . :
Understanding How AS 10g Patch Sets Update the AS Metadata Repository [ID 795143.1]
Exract from that note :
a. apply the binary update to each AS Oracle Home in the AS Farm.
b. finally, if possible apply the MR update exactly once from any home that allows it to be run.
also from the same note :
Scenario 6: Applying the 10.1.2.3 AS patch set to a 10.1.4.3 Identity Management home.
The 10.1.2.3 AS patch set is a required patch set, as documented in :
Note: 465847.1 Oracle Identity Management 10g (10.1.4.0.1) Release Notes Addendum.
In this case, the MR Product schemas will not be directly accessed. It is however good practice/ housekeeping to apply the MR update in order to keep the MR in line with the binary patch sets.
My question :
I am correct in my understanding that apply 10.1.2.3 software update only is neccessary, applying the MR update is only desirable house keeping and not mandatory ?
Would you say this is the correct assessment. if not how would you go about applying the MR update ?
Thanks in advance for your answers.

Using portal metadata repository for portal content - performance impact?

Oracle provides the Oracle Drive utility as a way of moving portal content directly into the portal metadata repository. The Oracle Portal Center site (http://www.oracle.com/technology/products/ias/portal/index.html) provides links to several demos and technical papers that describe the use of Oracle Drive to copy file-based content into the Portal Metadata Repository (e.g., http://www.oracle.com/technology/products/ias/portal/pdf/cm_webdav_10g_webdav_clients.pdf). My questions are: (a) is this a best practice (b) are there potential performance problems with loading up the portal metadata repository with large volumes of file-based content?

Hello
It depends on what you mean by "large volumes".
I use webdav scripts to create/update my files every night and it works fine. But it's rather slow.
Questions are :
- is it a one-time transfer to initiate Portal, and a regular one ?
- how large are your files ?

Crashing Metadata Repository?

Hi,
Realize this may be more suited for the General Database forum, but since it involves the OID metadata repository and the DBMS_LDAP APIs, thought I would try this board first.
I am trying to load 1400+ users into Oracle Internet Directory from an existing database.
I have written a small PL/SQL procedure that queries the database for the users info and then loads it into OID using the DBMS_LDAP APIs. I am using SQL*Developer to write and debug the procedure.
The procedure loads 1131 users, but then halts, returning a "No more data to read from socket" error. All users before this point are loaded correctly into OID.
Running this procedure from SQL*Plus results in a "ORA-03113: end-of-file on communication channel"
Researching the OTN and MetaLink forums leads me to believe that either the source database or the OID metadata repostitory is crashing, causing the connection to be lost. Perhaps this is a memory issue. . .?
I checked the logs for both the source database and the OID metadata repository - I can't find anything related to this problem (i.e. messages occuring at the same time I run the procedure.)
Can anyone give me any hints on how to troubleshoot this problem?
TIA
Jim

Because your stored procedure executes on the source database, I would look there thoroughly first.
Have you checked with your DBA for any resource limits on the userid that owns the session. Limits can be expressed in a number of ways, typically are defined in a user profile and can definitely manifest themselves as unexpected aborts out of nowhere for long running processes.
Of course a DBA can manually whack it, as well.

Can't see transfer rules in metadata repository

Hi,
I can't see any of the transfer rules from a specific datasource in the metadata repository. It gives the following error and shows a blank page:
Object version ' ' is not supported in the URL of this page
I replicated the source system and reactivated the transfer rules but still can't see them. Any suggestions?

Hi shah,
maybe you have to check if you are running IE 7.0. That can be the problem (it was with me).

BI Metadata Repository Configuration Error

Hello gurus.
Maybe somebody can tell how to solve this problem.
When try to create BI Metadata Repository (see note 1049784) an error received:
Configuration Error: Missing attribute: cacheid_lock, configuration node = component-config, location = config://local/cm/repository_managers/bw_metadata
The same error received on BI Document Repository activation.
So, where could find this cacheid_lock attribute?

2. I was able to successfully run the MRUA upgrade script for upgrading our Portal Repository (customer database).
Our Metadata Repository database is at version 9.2.0.8. Has anyone seen these errors or had this problem?
The MRUA CD that I have is labelled "Oracle Metadata Repository Upgrade Assistant and Utilities 10g (10.1.2.0.2) for AIX based systems".
But in the errors I see "OracleAS Metadata Repository Upgrade Assistant 10.1.4.0.1". Is something wrong there? Should it say 10.1.2.0.2?
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks.

Export HTML Documentation / Metadata repository

Hi,
I'm trying to download (or export) the generated documentation on the metadata repository to my local workstation, but I'm having a problem. The procedure I use (procedure that I found into these forums) is:
- On transport connection, I select the InfoCube for which I want the documentation to be downloaded.
- Right click -> export html documentation
The problem is that on the generated documentation, generated links are not correct. They all have a prefix "SAPEVENT" that doesn't allow the link to be followed and makes it erroneous.
Have you faced this problem? How can be extracted a subset of the metadata repository that works locally on a user workstation?
Thanks in advance,
David.

Hi all,
I recently discovered that on our production system the metadata repository export works perfectly on a local machine (it doesn't generate urls with sapevent string), while in our development system the thing is not working.
This should probably mean that it is all about customizing and configuration (cause both systems are on the same version and SP).
Does anybody know how to configure this in order to export the metadata repository properly?
Thanks,
David.

PCK Metadata Repository/Upload

Hi All,
We use R/3 4.6C and have installed PCK on WAS 6.40 to implement a B2B scenario with our customer's XI system.
We are trying to use PCK to connect our R/3 system with the external XI system so that we can send XML from R/3 BAPI's and receive XML and call our R/3 BAPIs.
We are having problems with the metadata repository. My question is how do we upload metadata so that we can use RFC adapter to see BAPI definitions in PCK?
Appreciate an early response.
Thanks

You want to create metadata for your Z objects or you can´t see the metada for standard objects?
