One schema for OWB Design repository, runtime repository and target schema

Currently we have contents of OWB Design schema, runtime schema and target schema all combined into one schema of the same database in OWB 9.0.2 as well as OWB3i. We like to move to OWB10g in very near future. Can we keep the same structure for convenience of migration in OWB10g? Is it mandatory that OWB design repository (and components) must be separate from OWB run time repository (and components) and target schema? In other words is it possible and workable to use only one schema to contain OWB design repository, OWB run time repository and target schema in OWB10g environment with repositories to be situated on Oracle v9.2.0.1.0? Also what special considerations should be taken to create the database v9.2.0.1.0 and installation of OWB10g. What are the problems/side-effects to have all in one schema?
Also please let me know how to install Oracle Workflow server to be used along with OWB. Will OWB10g work with repository on Oracle database v9.2.0.1.0?
Your prompt advice will be very well appreciated.

The design repo is a metadata repo that stores all the design-time objects and so forth.
It is an architectural decision that you or your team need to decide on. There are many flexible ways to architect an OWB infrastructure.
Also, your repository users will be using the design repository on the the other DB instance to do their design work...potentially less people always hitting the target database all the time.

One schema for OWB Design repository, runtime repository

Can we use only one schema for the design and runtime repositories on the same database instance and leave the target schemas separate? What are the advantages and disadvantages of this approach?
Thanks a lot for your time and reply.

Hello beatbisig
You got it right. Starting from OWB10gR2, the two types of repositories have been merged in to one. So if you have your design work hosted on one database, but want to keep the production database off-limits from developers you deploy from your design repository to the production repository. If you then connect to the production repository using the Design Center you wouldn't see any mappings there.
Why this wasn't done in the first place, even using the Oracle Designer repository I never understood ...

OWB Design Repository Tables

Hi All,
Is there any document from where I can get a decent insight into the OWB design repository tables and their functions.
Being a bit more specific, while working in OWB 10gR1 I have experienced situations where a mapping suddenly shows a null pointer exception and becomes un-editable, and un-deployable and un-executable. The only solution then is to make the mapping from scratch. If I can know which all design repository tables are involved in storing a mapping information, then perhaps I can go to the backend fix the issue and retrieve the mapping.
Please let me know if any of you have any infomation regarding this.

Thanks a lot for your information. It gives me some idea of the tables from which these read only views are created.
I hope, in order to understand more what these underlying tables are for, I need to scratch my head :))

Defining roles and access for OWB Designer

Hi,
Can i Define roles and access rights to different on 1 OWB Designer repository?
I want to send my mappings for code review but i dont want them to log into the OWB designer with write access.
How can i achieve this in the same OWB designer repository as the one i am using?
I am using OWB 10.1.
I found some table - WMP_USER_ROLES,WMP_GROUP_ROLES,WMP_GROUP_REPOSITORIES
when i logged into the designer schema through sqlplus
Thanks
Sagar

Hi Sagar,
Yes you can do that. Basically you can create a db user, and then register the user with a repository. By default that user has all privileges, however it now is audited per user as to what he/she did. How to do this look at the doc (find SecurityHelper)
To enable you to protect metadata there are a couple of strategies (implemented via a simple PL/SQL API). For an example (this one works with policies on the module level) take a look here (http://www.oracle.com/technology/sample_code/products/warehouse/files/Dev_Status_Policy.SQL)
This would work as follows:
- Create user REVIEW
- Register user REVIEW to repos QA
- For a module you want review for, set the status to QA
Now the REVIEW user logs in and he can look at QA but cannot touch.
Hope this helps,
Jean-Pierre
In your situation

OWB 10gR1 Repository and 10gR2 Database

Hi,
we have a problem in installing OWB Design Repository 10gR1 on 10gR2 Database. The Repository assistant hangs with message "INS0003 The User should have DBA privileges to complete the installation". I'm connected as SYS....
Regards,
Hakon.

Her is a workaround I get from Oracle, may it works. Till this time I can't test it, try it on your own risk.
Regards
Norbert
>>
Using the 050621 shiphome release of 10gR2 on Linux we have noticed the INTERACTIONEXECUTE stored procedure is defined with definer rights - it should be invoker rights.
Using the stored procedure to create an AW will create the AW in the SYS schema.
The only workaround is to redefine the stored procedure in the SYS schema with invoker rights.
CREATE OR REPLACE function interactionexecute(input CLOB) return varchar2 AUTHID CURRENT_USER
as language java name 'oracle.AWAction.Interaction.Execute(oracle.sql.CLOB)
return java.lang.String';

Why we need Design Repository and Runtime repository seperately?

Hi All,
Anybody please tell me why we need design time repository and runtime repository seperately? And also I want to know the total OWB Architecture.
Thanks,
Siv
Edited by: Siv on Feb 10, 2010 10:40 PM

Hi Siv:
Concerning Repository:
Since OWB 10.2 there is only one Repository storing Design and Runtime-Components.
excerpt from http://download.oracle.com/docs/cd/E10926_01/doc/owb.101/b12146/over.htm (OWB 10.1.):
The Design Repository, installed in an Oracle database, stores the metadata definitions for all of the objects used in Warehouse Builder. This is where all of the design information is stored for the target systems you are creating. You can access metadata stored here using the client user-interface, or through OMB Plus, the Warehouse Builder scripting utility.
The runtime repository, installed in an Oracle database, stores all of the deployment data as well as data from executed mappings and process flows. This is where the target environment information is stored for the business intelligence systems you create. This includes connection information for all of the deployment locations.
Which version of OWB are you using?
Greetings

Owb design repository

I am unable to log in OWB Design Browser for report generation on Design Repository. I am in a Oracle client machine as well as it is OWB client. It giving an error message, 'Invalid Oracle HTTP Server information' whenever I am trying to login OWB design browser.
I am providing ip address of my oracle database server i.e host machine, port no, user id. What could be the reason and what is the solution?
And also I want to know the exact data for all these three columns.

hi,
go to http://<host>:<port>/index.html -->User Management log in using j2ee_admin
When you go into one of the tabs, there will a client entry . Just change.
You should able to do the same thing with UME provider service in the visual admin.
Please check Note 938980 if you are using VPN.
This is probably a Java Web-Start issue. Please check logon with other JWS versions. Also check if you have any conflicting JWS versions installed.
This is a checklist for logon errors:

Best practices for network design on WLC 2504 and 5508

Dear all:
I'm looking for some recommendations on WLC 2504 and 5508 about the the following:
Maximum amount of AP per port
The scenario when to use all ports in both WLC
Maximum number of clients(users) per port
Bandwidth comsumption of management vs data in order to assign one port for management
I've just found this:
Cisco 5508 controllers have eight Gigabit Ethernet distribution system ports, through which the controller can manage multiple access points. The 5508-12, 5508-25, 5508-50, 5508-100, and 5508-250 models allow a total of 12, 25, 50, 100, or 250 access points to join the controller. Cisco 5508 controllers have no restrictions on the number of access points per port. However, Cisco recommends using link aggregation (LAG) or configuring dynamic AP-manager interfaces on each Gigabit Ethernet port to automatically balance the load. If more than 100 access points are connected to the 5500 series controller, make sure that more than one gigabit Ethernet interface is connected to the upstream switch.
http://www.cisco.com/c/en/us/td/docs/wireless/controller/6-0/configuration/guide/Controller60CG/c60mint.html
Thanks for your help.

The 5508-12, 5508-25, 5508-50, 5508-100, and 5508-250 models allow a total of 12, 25, 50, 100, or 250 access points to join the controller.
This is an old document. 5508 can now support up to 500 APs if you run firmware 7.X. 2504 can support up to 75 APs if you run firmware 7.4.X.
I'm looking for some recommendations on WLC 2504 and 5508 about the the following:
Best practice and recommendation is to LAG all ports so you will be able to form a link redundancy. If one link goes down, you have other link to push traffic.

RPE-01011 target location incompatible / repository and target are same 11g

I got systematically error RPE-01011 signaling my target location is incompatible. My repository and my target are the same instance and i didn't change anything in the settings. The instance is an 11g database. I don't understand what the problem is. All scripts are execting correctly when i install then manually.

I am having the same problem trying to deploy objects created as per Oracle by Example: Oracle Warehouse Builder 11g. The database version is 11g Release 11.1.0.6.0 and all locations have 11.1 version. This is the second time I am running this tutorial, this time I modified the setup scripts to replace 10.2 by 11.1 but after rerunning all previous tutorials I got the same error.

Informatica Repository and Target database

I have a scenario in which the repository database is DB1 and target database is DB2. How is that possible? I mean isnt the target database stored in the repository? Is it still alright?

Hi,
Informatica repository tables generally referred as OPB tables and which has all the data related to your mappings and by using these tables informatica will refer the mappings.
Thanks,

Rman repository and target

Hi,
my RMAN repository is in 10g R2, and target is in 8.1.7.4. I want to know when I backup by RMAN what would be the RMAN version executing the job ? RMAN 8.1.7 or RMAN 10g ? Thanks and regards.

Yo would be using the RMAN executable in the target ORACLE_HOME (ie, RMAN would be 'local' to the database).

Issue in OWB mapping - when changing source and target database

Hi,
I need help for resolution of the issue I am facing when moving mapping from development environment to QA.
Here is situation,
We develop ETL using one source, one staging and one target database.
In development we use one control_center for Source to staging and another control center staging to target.
All works fine in development.
Now I have created new runtime repository and imported all OWB projects (with full dependencies, exact replica of development). Now I need to change source and staging and target as different database.
I have created new database location connections and defined/attached DB connectors with stage and target location.
Now issues are
1.     Two Staging mapping are not able to bound with source table (giving different error
a.     One mapping show error for source synonym translation no longer valid when deploying this mapping , but validation comes without any issue)
b.     Other mapping show error for source table/object not bound to repository
2.     All the target mapping show validation successful, but when deploying says “table or view does not exist”. But tables are exists on source stage and target. (also permission are set correctly for target user to read from staging tables).
Not sure how to proceed from here.
I have recreated new repository and re-imported all project/mappings and defined all connection but still same issue.
Thanks in advance,
Vipin

1. Two Staging mapping are not able to bound with source table (giving different error
a. One mapping show error for source synonym translation no longer valid when deploying this mapping , but validation comes without any issue)
b. Other mapping show error for source table/object not bound to repository
The above error were resolved when re-synchronized the table (for few I have to reimport the table) and mapping.
2. All the target mapping show validation successful, but when deploying says “table or view does not exist”. But tables are exists on source stage and target. (also permission are set correctly for target user to read from staging tables).
The above error still pending. My target mapping are not able to deployed/compiled.
For the above I have defined one Staging location to one target target location and target location have connector to staging (not sure if I have to define connector name same as staging location, as I have created DB connector with different name but reference database is same as staging location).
Mapping are assoicated with desired data locatoin and meta data.
control center is also have that data location.
Mapping are configured for the desired location.

To find project-mapping relationship in OWB design repository.

In a application aI am firing query on the design repositoryy schema.Here I want to find all mappings coming under a particular project.For example I got a table called ALL_IV_XFORM_MAPS to take the map names and ALL_IV_PROJECTS to take the project names.But I couldnot find out any table corresponding both project name and map name.Please help.
Thanks.

I don't have access to a repository at the moment, but you will have to link the map to the module it is in, and that module will belong to a project.
Isn't there something like 'ALL_IV_MODULES' ??
Hope this helps,
Borkur
