OracleAS Metadata Repository

Hi Everyone,
I inherited a system that is currently OAS 10.1.2.2 and looking into applying 10.1.2.3 patchset. I am reading about applying the 10.1.2.3 metadata Repository update. I was wondering if there is a way to determine if 10.1.2.2 metadata Repository update has been applied? I tried ldapsearch command but it returns nothing. Any ideas?
Thank you.
Troy

You may wanna note that,
- This patchset 3 10.1.2.3 does not require portal 10.1.4. This patch set brings up your OAS components to 10.1.2.3 version from 10.1.2.0.2 level.
- For those who are using portal 10.1.2.0.2 version, this patch set upgrades it to 10.1.2.3 as well - when they apply it on the portal repository.
- For those users whose portal version is 10.1.4.0.0, it upgrades it to 10.1.4.2 version - when they apply it on its portal repository.
- Metadata Repository upgrade is required in each case.
- It has been a standard practice from Oracle Support to ask you to upgrade to the latest supported version of that release number - for almost all of your problems. For 10g Release 2, 10123 and for portal 10142 are the latest supported versions which you get after this upgrade.
Therefore, for all of your problems regarding any component on your OAS or on portal, Oracle Support would recommend highly to first get up to the latest supported version. Then they will recommend individual patches or fixes on top of it.
hope that helps!

What is OracleAS Metadata Repository home

Hi Guys
i was upgrading the portal .. during the upgrade i need to specify OracleAS Metadata Repository home MRUA script. what is this OracleAS Metadata Repository home . please help me to let me know what is this home is
1. Oracle Internet Directory Home
2. Oracle MRCA Home
3. Oracle Portal Home
4. Oracle Infra Database Home
i am new to this world please help me in this.
Thanks

It depends upon the topology of your environment.
- Do you have an infrastructure which has both an Identity Management and a Metadata Repository? If that is the case, MRep Home is your infra-home.
- if the MRep is installed separately from Id Mgmt, then its home will be where it is installed.
- Also, if you are using the default Portal home then it resides in the Metadata Repository. If you are using a Customer DB to launch your portal from, then the Portal Repository will be in that DB.
Tell us about your architecture a little bit and it will be easier to answer.
Hope that helps!

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

Error 2 (File Doesn't exist at all) ==============================

===========================================================
Regards
Austin

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.

Can I install Metadata Repository for 10.1.2.0.2 on Oracle 10.2.0 database

Does any one know if the Metadata Repository of OracleAS 10.1.2.0.2 can be install on an existing Oracle 10.2.0 database ?
The MRCA tool is giving me this message "Oracle Metadata Repository cannot be loaded into this version of the database. Please see the installation guide for more information on supported database versions ...."

Before running the MRUA for the Metadata Repository:

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.

Found out from Oracle that the "oracle/sysman/oii/oiio/oiiol/OiiolTextLogger" class is in the $ORACLE_HOME/oui/jlib/OraInstaller.jar file and as per their suggestion added the jar file to the $classpath list of jar files in the mrua.pl script.

Can Portal and OID Metadata Repository be shared?

Hi
I am designing a solution for my client which includes Portal and OID implementation. I was then posed the question whether the portal and oid metadata repository should be shared. Is there any best practice that anyone can share? Thanks!
Regards
Dave

Hi Dave,
I had faced this question once & I opted to use a separate Database for the Portal Schemas.
I am not aware of any document that details the best practices - but, my deisgn was based on the fact that the Portal Schemas would grow in future based on the number of Portal Pages & Applications. Our Client had forecast hat they would be using Portal quite heavily & hence, a separate MR was the way to go for us.
We just installed a new Oracle Database, used the Oracle Metadata Repository Creation Assistant & registered the database with Oracle Internet Directory. During the installation of Portal, the Oracle Universal Installer offers a choice of Metadata Repositories for the Portal Schema.

Sandeep

Moving metadata repository

Is it possible to move a repository from one instance to another on the same machine?

Hi,
you are not in the worst scenario but almost... :(
Oracle infraestructure is a significant limitation. It is completely unsupported to change the hostname of a machine hosting an OracleAS Metadata Repository. This is because during the install the hostname is written to many different places in the Metadata Repository and as such it has not been possible to provide a script to change the hostname references within the repository.
You are not in the worst scenario because the hostname in your case is the same, but takes into account that MDR is not intended to be moved (or migrated .. je!)
Please read metalink note 458372.1 to see the differents scenarios
Let me know if this help,
Julio

BusinessObjects Metadata Repository and Oracle RAC

What are the implications of having the BusinessObjects Metadata Repository reside in an Oracle RAC Database? Is it doable?

Yes, you can install BO repository on Oracle RA.Cluster.
Make Sure with support is Oracle RAC 11g R2 is feasible or not. Till 11G R1 it was working fine.

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 ;-)

Metadata Repository Creation Assistant fails with ORA-01119


Hi All,
My DB version is 10.1.0.2 and I've upgraded the same to
10.1.0.4.2
In order to install B2B, I started off by installing the
Metadata Repository Creation Assistant.
After the initial steps, I got the following message:
<h5>

<h5>If you are planning to use this repository for installing

I continued with "Yes" and I chose the storage option as

of free space. Yet, I encountered the following error:
<h5>

decreasing the size. I further tried using another directory where there was
11GB of free space. It still didn't work.
Please HELP!

Hi Suhas,
Can you please do the following?
1. Please try pointing to C:\b2b.dbf file during installation and see if the installation goes fine or not.

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

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 :-)

OAS 10g metadata repository creation assistant & database version issue

Hi,
I have to install Oracle Application Server 10.1.2.0.2 on a server which already has an Oracle database 11g running on it and I dont want to install another database due to the load factor. I am not sure if I could use that database
(version 11g) for the metadata repository. I know that we can use an existing database for the creation of metadata repository using the metadata creation assistant but I am a bit worried about the version of the database which is 11g whereas the application server and the metadata creation assistant both are 10.1.2.x.
Your help is highly appreciated.
Cheers,
Omer

MRCA 10.1.2.0.2 cannot be used to install a repository in an 11g database. If you want to use MRCA 10.1.2.0.2 with an 11g database, you will need to install a 10g database first, create the metadata repository and then upgrade the database to 11g. Not applicable in your environment as you already have a 11g database.

EJ
