Hi Jae Hyun,
In OWB9i there is no distinction between a BIS user and a non-BIS user. Reading your question I expect you are installing the product at a new customer site. Please refer to patch sets 2182987 and 2420974 that are available through Metalink. These patch sets contain documentation on the steps to go through. To manipulate data in the Apps repository you would use the BI assistant.
When OWB is installed for Oracle Applications some of the settings are changed compared to the release that general customers use. I.e. if you would like to build your own data warehouse using OWB I recommend you install OWB in a separate Oracle home, build a new repository and use that for your own project. In that case you would use all settings non-Apps customers use.
Hope this helps,
Mark.
