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.

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 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.

Unable to login to OWB Design Repository

Hi,
While trying to login to OWB Design Repository I am getting an error message, 'SQL EXCEPTION'. Can anybody tell me the reason behind this.
Liyakat

Hi,
we need much more informations about the problem:
- Login with the OWB, per sqlplus, ...?
- Which error message? Complete text with error number!
- All related informations (version of database and OWB, errorlogs from the installation, ...)

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

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 :))

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 ...

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

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';

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

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 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.

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,
err.MAP_STEP, err.CURSOR_ROWKEY, err.RUN_ERROR_NUMBER,
err.TARGET_COLUMN,
err.STATEMENT, err.CREATED_ON, err.CREATED_BY
FROM ALL_RT_AUDIT_MAP_RUN_ERRORS err,
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.

Finding locked objects in design repository?

Does anyone know if it is possible to get a list of objects that are currently locked by users inside a design repository?
I am looking for something that is equivalant to what v$locked_object is for Oracle objects. I've tried looking at the tables/views/procedures defined in the Control Center but I haven't been able to figure out a way to do it.
I am writing some scripts to automate the export/import of MDLs between repositories. I'd like to be proactive about checking locks in the repository before attempting to import the MDL.
Thanks.

HI,
it seems that OWB uses DBMS_LOCK package for locking objects, so you can extract OWB internal lock names from SYS.DBMS_LOCK_ALLOCATED table (name OWB locks begin with 'OWB'). Locked object id (from all_iv_all_objects) specified at the end of lock name in reverse order.
But I don't now how to get type of locking (opening object also creates a lock).

Could anyone feed back with a workaround, I tried using thin driver, different tablespaces sizes - these are hints from INS0029 related posts, but did not solved the problem. On database, where I tried to install repository, default locale is pl_PL.

I found a sollution, reinstallation of OWB, installation of design repo in default tablespaces. Besides I don't know if setting default language to English which was used during installation of OWB has helped.

Running OWB design browser

Hi
I am trying to access OWB design browser but I am getting the following error in my Apache error logs.
/pls/wb_runtime_rep/wb_runtime_rep.wmp_api_call.home ORA-0
wb_runtime_rep.wmp_api_call.home: PROCEDURE DOESN'T EXIST
I configured DADS from the http server home page using
Mod_plsql Configuration Menu
My OC4J instance is running.
I checked for the user "wb_runtime_rep" there is no package "wmp_api_call".
Is this what I am missing ?

I just checked the database sessions.
It is infact hitting the database with the repository username.
