Metadata Repository to read

Hi BW Experts!
My customer would like to allow some users to use Metadata Repository only in BW Workbench.
So, I gave them the authority for transaction RSORMDR and assigned authority object S_RS_ADMWB - Metadata.
Now users with this role can not see RSA1, they can use t_code RSORMDR only, what is right.
BUT unfortunately Transaction connection, Business Content etc (buttons left side on RSORMDR) are still available.
Is there any chance to limit Metadata Repository only for users?
Customer is not using web...
Thanks a lot!
Points will be assigned!
Helena

Hi Helena,
Unfortunately the S_RS_ADMWB was not intended to restrict AWB/DWB navigation.
However, you could run the metadata repository in a separate browser, then no navigation to other parts of the administrator workbench would be possible.
Here is the documentation on how to do it;

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 ;-)

Can OID/IM components be moved to a new Metadata Repository?

Hi
I've looked around on Metalink but can't find any document that suggests this can be done, but I thought I would ask the question anyway (two iin fact):
1. Can an existing OID/IM setup be configured so as to oint to a new metadata repository? Is it possible to install a new MR and then associate the IM components away from it's existing MR to a new MR?
2. In an OracleAS Cold Failover Cluster (IM) topology, I've read contradictory notes (or I've misunderstood). Do the OID and MR components have to be on the same box? Or can they be on different boxes?
Regards
Andy

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....

Metadata repository not working

Red error of a web template in Metadata Repository in TEST system

This red error only occurs on our test system (maybe related to transport). RSA1->Goto Metadata Repository page->Double Local objects under Activated objects in the middle frame -> Double click Web Template Name in the right frame, then can see two same lines of red errors (see below in between two dashed lines):
Object 'our_web_template_name' (our_web_template_name) of type 'Web Template Name' is not available in version 'A'
Message no. RSO252
Diagnosis
You wanted to generate an object with the name 'our_web_template_name' (in transport request our_web_template_name) of type 'Web Template Name' (TLOGO). This is, however, not available in the BW Repository database. It does not exist in the requested version A. If the version is 'D' then it is possible that an error arose during the delivery or installation. If the version is 'A' then the Object was either not created or not activated.
System response
The object was not taken into account in the next stage of processing.
What could cause the above red error in Metadata Repository how to correct it?
Thanks

For these requests can you check if they contained objects like:
BW: LOIO Class Web Templates
BW: PHIO Class Web Templates
See, even if the transport for a web template does not contain these, it is imported fine, but the web template will not function in the target system. This happens quite often and you need to make sure that the above objects are also included in the request.
Hope this helps...

9.0.4.1 Metadata Repository in 9.2.0.6

I just upgraded my 9iAS infrastructure and mid tier with BI and Forms from 9.0.2.3 to 9.0.4.2. We had all the components on one server except we had a separate 9.2 db for our portal repository.
I want to know how to migrate my metadata repository to a different server and use database version 9.2.0.6. Are there any documents or specofic sections of documents which could guide me in this migration?

I am not familiar with the document you refer to, but suspect you should apply the 9.0.4.2 patch if you want to integreate OCS with a 10g portal.
I have successfully integrated a 9iAS portal with R2 OCS (9.0.4.1), and the following details may be worth a closer look:
1. To my knowledge, the passwords for your portal user and SSO user (orasso) are encrypted and stored in OID based on the hostname and IP address of your SSO server. Thus, the password for orasso and portal will differ between your portal Infra and your OCS infra, resulting in that only one of the two will work properly with your common OID. run the attached script on both your SSO servers and compare the result:
#!/bin/ksh
OIDHOST=antares1.i2sp.no
OIDPORT=4032
echo "Enter the desired Oracle schema name (default orasso): \c"
READ DBUSERNAME
if [[ -z $DBUSERNAME ]]; then
echo "No schema value entered, using default:orasso"
DBUSERNAME=orasso
fi8
echo "Enter the password of the cn=orcladmin user (usually the ias installation password): \c"
stty -echo
read OIDPW
ty echo
echo "Looking up schema password from $OIDHOST:$OIDPORT"
$ORACLE_HOME/bin/ldapsearch -h $OIDHOST -p $OIDPORT -D "cn=orcladmin" -w "$OIDPW" -b "cn=IAS Infrastructure Databases,cn=IAS,cn=Products,cn=OracleContext" -s sub "orclResourceName=$DBUSERNAME" orclpasswordattribute
Setting the password for orasso and portal to the same encrypted string is a good start. If they differ, change to the same encrypted string using "alter user orasso identified by xxxxxx" in sqlplus.
Hope this will help you on the way :-)

Metadata Repository mds-adf is not targeted to JMSServer-0?

JDeveloper 11.1.1.4.0, Oracle database 11.2.0.1.0
We're developing an ADF application and I'm trying to activate MDS using the database. I've followed along with docs and this blog post, http://biemond.blogspot.com/2009/07/mds-repository-for-adf-11g.html, run RCU on my database, added Application Development Runtime. When I deploy my application, I get the "Deployment Configuration" dialog box, but when I hit the "Deploy" button, I get his message in a dialog box:
Warning! MDS configuration information appears invalid. Metadata Repository mds-adf is not targeted to JMSServer-0 or JMSServer-0 is a member of a cluster. Deploy anyway?
I hit yes, then I go to Enterprise Manager to see my MDS repository partitions, and I have no partitions found.
Any ideas?
Edited by: Richard Cook on Jul 5, 2011 10:51 AM

On the EM front page, under "Fusion Middleware" I have "Metadata Repositories", with my mds-adf repository there.
Today, there is a repository partition, "idm_V2.0", put clicking on the glasses icon I get "This partition is not being referenced by any application".
My application "idm(V2.0)" is deployed to DefaultServer.

Dbconsole for metadata repository in 10.1.2

I have installed infrastructure from as_portal_wireless 10.1.2.0.0 package.
How I can run dbconsole for metadata repository db 10.1.0.3.1 from this distr?
tnx.

Hi Denis,
The end of installation screen should give you an URL
like http://localhost.localdomain:5500/em for the
database console.
Can I add dbconsole to my repository's cold failover cluster group ? Im not found any info in docs about it ...

CD2 of Metadata Repository Creation Assistant (10.1.2.0.3) bad

Top Url of Page reads: http://www.oracle.com/technology/software/products/ias/htdocs/101202.html
CD2 of the Metadata Repository Creation Assistant (10.1.2.0.3) downloads fine and my cksumm of the file matches what I see on the download site of:
688884944 104409600 as_hp_risc_mrca_101203_disk2.cpio
However when I try to cpio in the file, I get the following error:
Disk2/stage/Patches/oracle.rdbms.hybrid/9.2.0.6.0/1/DataFiles/group.jar
End of volume
errno: 25, Can't read input
So if I could have you send me the correct cpio file at [email protected] it would be most helpful.
Thanks,

I ended up ordering the full HP 10gAS R2 disk set to get this. Would be nice if someone from Oracle would respond about the bad file though.

9i metadata repository be upgraded to 10g

Hi,
I hav a question from the customer, they are looking for migration from Oracle AS 10g Rel 1 (9041) to AS 10g Rel 2 (10.1.2.0.2) they wanted to know if they can upgrade 9i metadata repository to 10g in advance of moving their 10g AS Rel 1 environment to 10g AS Rel 2?

Yes, the repository in fact must be upgraded if you want to perform the complete AS upgrade. Upgrade from the 10gR1 to 10gR2 is pretty straight forward. You are required to perform metadata upgrade by means of the MRUA (Metadata Repository Upgrade Assistant) disk, if you don't have it you should download it from the otn download area.

Deregister metadata repository after Internet Directory deleted

I deinstalled Internet Directory before deregistering it from the metadata repository first. Now I want to re-install Internet Directory on the same repository but it says the repository has been registered to an Internet Direcory and doesn't allow me to do that. I cannot deregister or remove the metadata repository because it always asks for the host and port of the Internet Directory, which doesn't exist any more.
Do I need to reinstall the whole database? Anyone has the idea on how to remove the registration information from a metadata repository without referring an Internet Directory?
Thanks a lot.

I had the same issue and here is how I resolved it:
Logged in to the Metadata Repository as the SYS user. Drop user ODS with the cascade option. This will remove the information from the database. In order to rebuild the Metadata Repository, go to $ORACLE_HOME/ldap/admin. You should have a script called newldap.sql. Login to the DB as SYS and run this and this will recreate the parts that where removed therefore giving you a 'cleaned' Metadata Repository.
By the way, this is not recommended by Oracle!!!

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.
