OWB and Designer Repository

I get an error when I try to set the Application System for
Oracle Designer Repository as the Metatada source.
The Module Wizard lets me create a database link to my Designer
Repository owner, I've tested it form SQL+, but when I try to set
the Application System the answer is "The database link does not
point to a valid Oracle Designer repository". But it points to
the user who owns the Repostory!!!!
Do I need to grant any access in Oracle Desinger to my OWB user?
Can OWB connet to any Repository version?
Tools:
Database 8.1.7
Desinger 6i Rel.4
OWB 3i

I'm afraid you are right, I've read the same this morning, OWB3i
does not read Repository 6i tables. I hope Oracle will do
something about that soon.
Thanks,
Jose.

Runtime and design repository in OWB 10.2

Hi,
I am doing a migration from OWB 10.1.0.4 to OWB 10.2. In the previous versions of OWB there was two repositories: the design and the runtime. In the last version there is only one repository.
Searching in the documentation, I found that if I want two separate repositories in this new version, I have to build two repositories. Then, from the Design Center I could access the Control Center Managers of the two repositories, without having the metadata in both repositories.
The problem is: I can't get the control center of the second repository configured in the right way. Or I can't start the mappings because of privileges, or the objects don't appear in the control center.
How can I work with two repositories with OWB 10.2? Should I give up this approach and build just one repository?
Thanks

Its resolved now it was because of an access issue.

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.

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.

Installation of Design Repository using OWB Rel 1

I installed OWB Rel 1 on server and then try to create Design Repository.
It did not work as error appears on first screen " Can not connect o database - verify connect information". I provided correct information (sys user/password, host name, service name, port number) and tried different things e.g. instead of host name ip address etc. But result was same.
any body can help me to sort this out?

Hi,
i´m not sure but i think you must give a connect string, in an explicit sequence.
Well, maybe you better have a look at the Guides of Installation.
Watch there: http://www.oracle.com/technology/documentation/index.html

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,

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?

Dropped Design Repository from OWB

I accidentally dropped the design repository from OWB. A backup copy has been restored to the DB, but still it's missing. Please help.

What OWB release you used and how did you create backup?
If OWB release is 9.2 and backup has been created with Oracle exp utility then you can try to use script Restore_repos.txt from OWB Sample code page (this is the sequence of actions for restoring design repository). Find this script at
http://www.oracle.com/technology/sample_code/products/warehouse/index.html
Maybe this document will work and for OWB10gR1 but I don't sure.

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.
Regards
-AP

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 :))

How to find the executables for OWB Client, Design and Runtime Repositories

Hi Guys,
I have installed OWB 10G in the my local desktop (in D Drive). From the start menu, I can see the menu options for OWB Client, OWB Design Repository and OWB Run time Repository. If I want to get that execuatbles from which location can I find out. All the menu options are pointing out into d:\OWB Home \....\bin\launch.exe, but when we hit launch.exe nothing is displayed on the screen. can anyone give their suggestions pls
Regards
Kishan

launch.exe is the executable but if you look at the lnk files in your start menu the launch exe is followed by two parameters where the last one points to a specific cl file (I'm guessing short for command line) in the same bin directory that also contains a number of parameters. Here all the java jar files are listed that are needed to launch the specific component and how much memory the application can/may use.
So you won't find a classic windows executable if that is what you are looking for. But why are you searching for this in the first place since you can just copy the shortcut/lnk file if you want shortcuts in other places?

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 ...

I need the Design Repository name in my Runtime repository query??????

Hi,
I want to execute a query on Runtime repository user.
I need to know: Design Repository User (own of mapping execution error) , Mapping Name and Error Message.
With this query I have the Mapping Name and Error Message. BUT HOW CAN I OBTAIN THE Design Repository name OF MAPPING EXECUTION ERROR???????????????
SELECT
mr.map_name map_name, err.UPDATED_BY,err.UPDATED_ON, err.RUN_ERROR_MESSAGE, err.TARGET_NAME,RUN_ERROR_ID, err.STEP_ID, err.MAP_RUN_ID,

all_rt_audit_map_runs mr
WHERE mr.map_run_id = err.map_run_id
Thanks in advance!

Hi
When you run a mapping from the OWB Client with the Deployment Manager frist you have to login into a runtime repository with an access user. So you don't run the mapping with a designer user, you run it with a runtime user through an access user.
You can find the deployment (runtima access) user in the ALL_RT_AUDIT_DEPLOYMENTS.CREATED_by/UPDATED_by fileds.

RPE-02083 again with OWB and Workflow

Hi,
We're having this problem once again. The last time we had to completely delete all our mappings, process flows, etc. and rebuilt them. This is very annoying ! And we don't have time to do this everytime we modify our OWB mappings. I opened a SR for OWB, but it seems that the problem is with the workflows. Any idea how we can find a decent solution...
Thank you

Dependent objects may not have been deployed. You can use Oracle Workflow Monitor to retry the activities or abort the Process. RPE-01002: The operation was aborted at user request

Hello
Its sad I can't find this thread searching here with "RPE-02083". Keywords to webmaster: Fulltext search, "LIKE", ... But luckily we have Google... ;)
Concerning your problem we were experiencing the same for about a week:
RPE-02083: Process WF_DMTRZ_BILANZD_DIGIS has errored Activities. Dependent objects may not have been deployed. You can use Oracle Workflow Monitor to retry the activities or abort the process.
If you are working with more than one Design Repository and deploying the same Processflow or Mapping with different UOIDs you will run into this error message. Tough deployment was fine and all objects are valid in the DB, OWB checks on starting the workflow all dependencies by UOID, as I assume, and not by object name. So in situations where a started Processflow expects a mapping to be started and the UOID is different than expected you get the RPE-02083.
A SQL script accessing the runtime/WF repository showing missing links (by UOID) would be helpfull here, but I guess it needs a lot of experience to create such a script.
Hope this information can help your problem.

Design Repository Configuration objects after an import

I have 1 design repository to development environment and another to production environment.
I have 3 target schemas in Development and 3 target schemas in Production.
Then I make a Metadata Export of my Development Project and a Metadata Import in my Production environment (MDL).
Now I have all objects in my Design Repository in Production environment.
I know that I have to change the Locations parameters (for example: The Host Name and Port Number)
Do I have to change anything else?
What do I have to change?
Thanks!

Apart from location and physical configuration parameters, dont we have to re-import(reconcile) the tables and PL/SQL transformations also?
We faced a similar situation, when we imported the project in different environment and changed the location, the validation gave an error.re-importing the tables and PL/SQL transformations solved it.
we are using OWB 10.1 with oracle 10g on windows2000 server.

How to unregister an unavailable control center in the design repository?

We are using OWB 11.1. and we have 8 control centers which are registered in the design repository but these control centers have become unavailable. Is there any way to unregister control centers which are inaccessible?

Thanks for the response.
There is no problem to unregister locations which have become unavailable. We've used wb_env_util.unregister_location, which works quite well. By the way the script owb/misc/unregister_location.sql does not work any more if your using OWB 11.1. But our problem are the control centers which are pysically gone. We have unregistered all locations which were somehow associated with these control centers, but still we can't modify or delete them. For example if I try to rename one of these control centers using OMB I get the following error message: "OMB06316: Cannot modify any properties of a registered contol center except the password".
