ODI Demo Environment - Work Repository issue

Question

I'm a newbie to ODI, and have downloaded the software and the demo environment (plus instructions). Setup seems to go fine, but when I get to the point where I should connect to the demo environment, I follow the instructions but am unable to type in WORKREP as the Working Repository - the field is greyed out, and I cannot proceed further.
I have started the demo environment using startdemo.bat, and everything else seems OK (or at least doesn't error) aside from this.
Am I correct in saying that the RCU does not need to be run, just to use the Demo Environment?
Please can anyone help? I would like to evaluate the product but have run up against this wall.
Many thanks,
Ian

Hi,
I had similar issue on Windows..
Solution,
1) I downloaded jrockit SDK.
2) Pointed JAVA_HOME to this installation
3) Extract the demo folder (i.e. under <ODI_HOME> as odidemo)
Start the agent.
Run ODI enter the details as described in http://download.oracle.com/docs/cd/E14571_01/integrate.1111/e12641/start_odi.htm.
Specify the Oracle Data Integrator connection details as follows:
Login name: Getting Started - ETL Project
User: SUPERVISOR
Password: SUNOPSIS
Note that username and password are case sensitive.
Specify the Database Connection (Master Repository) details as follows:
User: sa
This is the database user ID/login of the schema (database, library) that contains the ODI master repository
Password: Leave this field empty.
Driver List: Select Hypersonic SQL Driver from the list.
This driver is required to connect to the DBMS supporting the master repository.
Driver Name: org.hsqldb.jdbcDriver [This is different when populated by ODI]
URL: jdbc:hsqldb:hsql://localhost
     or
     jdbc:hsqldb:hsql://<<hostip>>:<port>:<sid> (if you have db installed on different box)
