"repository administrator uitility" problem.

hi, there
When launching RAU, it asked me for user/passwd/connect_string,
I did "system"/passwd/a local service,
it told me
"invalid user name/password, login denied"
the pair entered are no problem.
So, what is the problem?
thanks alot in advance.
D.S.

This could be a long story and may be solved if you read the Designer(SCM) Repository installation Guide. You can find it here: http://otn.oracle.com/docs/products/designer/content.html
Briefly though, all the Designer data is stored in a Repository. You can administer this Repository using the RAU. This repository, (the tables and views that make up the repository), is owned by a repository owner and not by "system". Read the repository installation guide to set up the repository owner and to build your repository.

Can not use repository administration tool

Hello,
I'm a newby at Oracle Designer and I have a problem create a repository for Oracle Designer.
On my computer I have installed the following software:
x Java SDK & JRE 6
x Oracle Database 10g R2
x Oracle Designer 10.
While I'm installing Oracle Designer the OUI says that it can't find Java JRE but the installation completes.
If I want to use Designer with the hr-schema it says I have to create a repository for the user hr.
If I want to open the repository administration tool nothing happens nothing. If I want to open the repository command line tool it says that it can't find ORACLE_HOME but I have set the environment variable ORACLE_HOME to the database home c:\oracle\product\10.2.0\db_1.
I presume that I have to install the complet Developer Suite. Is this correct or does anybody know the answer?
Please Help me!
Thanks to everybody.

Yes you have to install the complete Developer suite for Windows. Then you will need to install a repository on an existing database.
Here are some quick instructions on doing that:
After you install the IDS 10G in a new oracle home on the Client windows PC you will find the intall manual under:
start - programs- Oracle Developer Suite - Designer documentation - Repository instalation Guide
The following are the step I use to build a new repository
You will need to set paths and names as you desire for your local PCs and repostiory.

Step 5b - (Oracle 9i or 10.2 DB) Install Oracle 9i or 10.2 Import and Export Utilities
Before installing Designer Repository on an Oracle 9i or 10.2 database, you need to set up the installation workstation to use the Oracle 9i or 10.2 import and export utilities. To do so, perform the following steps at the workstation from which you will be running the repository installation:
From the Oracle 9i or 10.2 installation media, install the Oracle 9i or 10.2 import and export utilities in a dedicated Oracle home.
In the Windows Registry, locate the key named:
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\ORACLE\KEY_HomeName\REPOS61
where HOMEn is the home number of the home installed into for a multiple Oracle home environment, but is not present where the default Oracle home is being used.
Change the value of the EXECUTE_IMPORT and EXECUTE_EXPORT variables to point to the new Oracle home. Thus, if the new Oracle home is d:\des_9i, the settings would be:
d:\des_9i\bin\exp.exe
d:\des_9i\bin\imp.exe
-- Step 6
Log on to the Repository Admin Utility of Designer
start - programs- Oracle Developer Suite - Designer - Repository Admin Utility
Install Repository button
Make sure both check boxes are checked(one is grayed out) Next
Select the proper tablespace for the seletced box
Start the install.
Hope this helps.

Opening Repository Administrator Utility (RAU)

I have Designer9i installed. When I open RAU (either from Start menu or the Designer Tool Palette) the "Oracle/2000 Repository Migration Wizard" opens.
But, there is no repository from an earlier product release to be migrated. This is a new development project -- as is our repository. What I need is to perform management operations; backup, new user definition and access.
Canceling Repository Migration Wizard does not open the RAU...
How can I circumvent this Migration Wizard and make available the RAU maintenance functions I need?

This behaviour is explained in
Note 116242.1: The Migration Wizard is automatically launched when starting the RAU
Here is its content:
Problem Description
You launch the Oracle Designer 6i RAU (Repository Administration Utility), but the Migration Wizard starts up.
Solution Description
Connect to the RAU as the Repository Owner.
Explanation
A subordinate user is not able to perform repository administration tasks.
Subordinate users can only launch the Migration Wizard, to allow migration of application systems from previous releases. This is why a subordinate user is not able to launch the RAU.

Repository Administration Utility

When installing a Repository I get an error message after clicking the 'start' button.
ckrau61
ERROR
You do not have SELECT privilege on sys.v_$PARAMETERS view.
This process cannot proceed.
I have fully DBA privileges and Administrator privileges on my PC.
Any suggestions?
Thanks

Dear Richard,
I believe you should try creating a separate user to be the Repository Owner and not grant that account the "DBA" role (it is important that the repository owners account should not have the privilege SELECT ANY TABLE if you are installing a repository.)
First log on to the machine that hosts the Oracle8i database to be used for the repository. Under Windows NT, be sure to log on as the local administrator.
Now, ensure that the following minimum settings (assuming single repository instance and for up to four concurrent users) are satisfied in your INIT.ORA file:
compatible = 8.1.6
max_enabled_roles = 30
sort_area_size = 262144
sort_area_retained_size = 65536
hash_area_size = 1048576
optimizer_index_caching = 50
optimizer_index_cost_adj = 25
shared_pool_size = 32000000
db_block_buffers = 2000
open_cursors = 1000
processes = 100
db_file_multiblock_read_count=16 # for a 4K Oracle block size
db_file_multiblock_read_count=32 # for a 2K Oracle block size
db_file_multiblock_read_count=8 # for a 8K Oracle block size
Next, login to SQL* Plus as SYS and create a separate tablespace for the rollback segment you will be using for repository creation process:
create tablespace DES_RBS datafile 'c:\Oradata\jcat\des_rbs.dbf' size 10M reuse
autoextend ON next 10M
default storage (initial 256K next 256K minextents 2 pctincrease 0);
Now create a rollback segment in this tablespace, bring it online, and take all other rollback segments (except SYSTEM) offline:
create rollback segment DES_RB1 tablespace DES_RBS
storage (initial 1M next 1M minextents 3 optimal 4M);
alter rollback segment DES_RB1 online;
alter rollback segment SYSROL offline;
alter rollback segment RBS01 offline;
alter rollback segment RBS02 offline;
alter rollback segment RBS03 offline;
alter rollback segment RBS04 offline;
alter rollback segment RBS05 offline;
alter rollback segment RBS06 offline;
alter rollback segment RBS07 offline;
alter rollback segment RBS08 offline;
alter rollback segment RBS09 offline;
alter rollback segment RBS10 offline;
alter rollback segment RBS11 offline;
alter rollback segment RBS12 offline;
alter rollback segment RBS13 offline;
alter rollback segment RBS14 offline;
alter rollback segment RBS15 offline;
alter rollback segment RBS16 offline;
alter rollback segment RBS17 offline;
alter rollback segment RBS18 offline;
alter rollback segment RBS19 offline;
alter rollback segment RBS20 offline;
Then, while connected as SYS, create the role CK_ORACLE_REPOS_OWNER for system privileges:
@ D:\Oracle\Ora6i\repadm61\utl\ckrorole.sql
Now create a user account for the Repository Owner and grant that account the necessary privileges :
create user DES6i identified by des6i
default tablespace TOOLS
temporary tablespace TEMP;
grant EXECUTE on DBMS_LOCK to DES6i;
grant EXECUTE on DBMS_PIPE to DES6i;
grant CREATE TABLE to DES6i;
grant CREATE VIEW to DES6i;
grant CREATE PROCEDURE to DES6i;
grant CREATE SYNONYM to DES6i;
grant CREATE SEQUENCE to DES6i;
grant SELECT on SYS.V_$NLS_PARAMETERS to DES6i with grant option;
grant SELECT on SYS.V_$PARAMETER to DES6i;
grant SELECT on DBA_ROLLBACK_SEGS to DES6i;
grant SELECT on DBA_SEGMENTS to DES6i;
grant CREATE ANY SYNONYM to DES6i;
grant DROP ANY SYNONYM to DES6i;
grant CREATE PUBLIC SYNONYM to DES6i;
grant DROP PUBLIC SYNONYM to DES6i;
grant CK_ORACLE_REPOS_OWNER to DES6i;
grant CONNECT, RESOURCE to DES6i;
Now verify that the proper Net8 connect string (database alias) is present in the TNSNAMES.ORA within the <Repository_Home>\Net80\Admin directory and then launch the Repository Administrator Utility.
Under Tablespaces, check whether the SYSTEM tablespace is fragmented (value for Largest Extent is significantly less than that for Free Space). If the SYSTEM tablespace is fragmented, perform a full database export and re-import using the current version of the Export and Import utilities (EXP and IMP).
You should now be able to create the repository without a hitch.
Ciao!

Datasync and domain Wide administration port problem

Hi,
After enabling domain wide administration port in WLP 8.1, wee start to see following
exception on our managed servers log file. This happes in every mananaged server.
Datasync.war is deployed only in adminserver as the manual says. We see this error
every time we boot our managed servers.
Any ideas?
####<Nov 3, 2003 11:00:27 PM EET> <Error> <DataSync> <demomachine> <ManagedServer1>
<main> <<anonymous>> <> <BEA-400618> <Creation of the Master Data Repository failed.
Application data will not be available to services. Correct the problem and redeploy
the application.
java.lang.SecurityException: User <anonymous> does not have access to the administrator
port.
Regards, Mika

Cause might The managed server was given a URL to boot from that resolves to a managed server address. If the managed server is running on the same machine as the admin server, this can be caused by a failure to specify a unique admin port.
Inspect the address:port provided to the managed server from which to boot. This address should be changed to reference the admin server rather than resolving to a managed server. If the managed server is running on the same machine as the admin server, you must differentiate them by providing a unique port number.
Now we log a clear message that prints something like ,
The address provided to get to the admin server x.x.x.x resolves to a m
anaged server local address x.x.x.x:nnnn rather than a remote address as
expected, or the local managed server port might already be in use if you
have setup domain wide admin port, please check the configuration and correct
the problem.

Prasanna Yalam

Repository Administration Utility - error while adding a new user

Hello all,
I'm currently experiencing some difficulties when I try to add a new user with the RAU tool. First I had problems installing the repository, in the CJSYSFOL stage (ORA-04063: package body "REPOS_MANAGER.JR_REG_IO" has errors). After granting execute rights on the UTL_FILE package, it seemed this problem was solved.
However, the installation is finished and I wanted to add a user with the RAU. In user maintanance I added a user and then set all the properties. After clicking OK, the following error is generated:
ORA-01919: role 'CKR_REPOS_MANAGER' does not exist
ORA-06512: at "REPOS_MANAGER.JR_SYS_PRIVS", line 236
Bladiebladiebla.
Does anyone have a clue of what's going on here? And more important, how to solve this? Thanks for helping out!
Greetings,
Weis

See if the "Check Requirements" gives you any issues to be solved or the "Object Status" utility. Seems like the role CKR_REPOS_MANAGER is not granted (directly - so not via a role).

9.0.2.6 Portal Repository Upgrade Patch problems.

We got some problem with Portal when tryed to apply
9.0.2.6 Upgrade. Could anybody give advice on this issue:
Initial configuration:
Solaris8, Portal 9.0.2.2.14, Oracle 9iAS R2 v.9.0.2.0, RDBMS 9.0.1.3. The infrastructure and midtier work on different SPARC-servers.
Accordingly upgrade procedure we succesfully applied:
a) Infrastructure: 9.0.1.4 Patchset for Oracle RDBMS server, 9.0.2.2 Patchset for OID, Oracle 9iAS SSO-server
migration to 9.0.2.5, 9.0.2.2 Patchset for 9iAS Core.
b) 9.0.1.4 Patchset for Oracle RDBMS server, 9.0.2.2 Patchset for OID, Oracle 9iAS SSO-server migration to 9.0.2.5, 9.0.2.2 Patchset for 9iAS Core, Portal 9.0.2.6
patch.
After this we needed to make just one last step:
Portal 9.0.2.6 Repository Upgrade Patch (2981297) for
changing Portal's repository schemes. It worked but
like a result we got the next errors after patch upgrade
was done:
a) "The following invalid non-Portal objects exist in the Portal Schema: INDEX ABC (the name of portal object), PACKAGE BODY WWMON_REP_REPOSITORY, PACKAGE BODY WWMON_REP_REPOSIT_DTL, PLS-00103: Encountered the symbol "," when expecting one of the following: (-+case mod not null <an identifier>,...) The symbol "null" was substituted for "," to continue.)" See upgtmp/nonportal.log
b) "ERROR: 1 invalid objects remain; ERROR: Failed while updating the new portlet IDS..."
c) "ERROR: ORA-01407: cannot update ("PORTAL"."WWSBR_URL$"."URL") to NULL.
d) Two package body of packages at PORTAL scheme became invalid: WWMON_REP_REPOSITORY, WWMON_REP_REPOSIT_DTL. About 20 package body of packages at PORTAL_DEMO became invalid (It seems like initial portlet ID's disappeared
and except of pportlet_id there is nothing:
Example:
inital statement at body:
xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
PORTAL.wwpro_api_invalidation.invalidate_cache(
p_provider_id => p_provider_id,
p_portletid => 1065753336,
p_instance_id => p_reference_path,
p_subscriber_id => PORTAL.wwctx_api.get_subscriber_id ,
p_user => PORTAL.wwctx_api.get_user);
xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
after upgrade repository patch:
xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
PORTAL.wwpro_api_invalidation.invalidate_cache(
p_provider_id => p_provider_id,
p_portletid => ,
p_instance_id => p_reference_path,
p_subscriber_id => PORTAL.wwctx_api.get_subscriber_id ,
p_user => PORTAL.wwctx_api.get_user);
xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
Like a result after 9.0.2.6 Portal Repository Upgrade Patch application we lost the possibility to edit user's
profiles at Portal and other nesessary features. It seems
like some portlet ID's just dissapeared from Portal scheme. Could anybody had the same problem with Portal Upgrade 9.0.2.6? Quite possible that we missed some important element at during upgrade but ,really, we didn't wait so unlucky result. Advice something, please...
Regards. Igor.

Igor,
Since you've encountered undocumented errors, your repository upgrade has failed. You'll want to leave the repository as is for troublshooting, if at all possible, and log a TAR with support if you haven't already. They'll ask you to upload your upgrade log file and your upgrade tmp directory.
Regards

Let's begin with HDD space. A too full HDD is an invitation to disaster. As I noted previously, you should have a mimimum of 5 GB free space for virtual memory, swap files and whatever you are working on for OS X to function efficiently. A too full HDD can lead to directory issues, as you learned, data loss and an eventual HDD crash. Dr. Smoke's FAQ Problems from insufficient RAM and free hard disk space gives more info on this. Dr. Smoke's FAQ Freeing space on your Mac OS X startup disk has excellent suggestions to clear some of the clutter. In addition, you may be well advised to consider a larger internal HDD, and, if you do not already have one, to initiate a backup strategy. Dr. Smoke's FAQ Backup and Recovery offers helpful suggestions. If you have questions about any of these please do post back.
Mac OS X 10.3/10.4: System maintenance and Macintosh OS X Routine Maintenance are excellent resources of OS maintenance. Look them over and post back with any questions that arise.
Good luck.

Repository Creation Utility Problems

I am having an unbelievable amount of grief with the Repository Creation Utility.
I have an Oracle 11g database called ORCL running on a server with a static ip address.
I cannot get past the database connection screen
Whatever I try I get
Unable to connect to the database using the provided details.
Please enter a valid hostname and port or check if the listener is up and running.
This happens weather I run rcu remotely or locally.
I know the host and port are reachable because
telnet 192.168.1.5 1521
Returns the following
Trying 192.168.1.5...
Connected to centos5 (192.168.1.5).
Escape character is '^]'.
Which means that port 1521 on 192.168.1.5 is open and there's something listening on port 1521.
This works locally and remotely
I can connect to ORCL both locally and remotely via sqlplus.
The listener is definitely up and running

I notice that the service name has been changed to uppercase even though I entered it in lowercase. I've also tried putting the name in uppercase in my tnsnames.ora. No joy.
The rcu will connect to my xe database on another machine without any problems.
Thanks

PS
I ended up using a 10g database. The RCU worked without difficulty.

You have 2 options to fix this problem.
1. Hack the RCU user creation script, (create_user.sql). For me it was located at (/rcuHome/rcu/integration/biplatform/oracle/scripts)
2. Borrow a shotgun and kill Oracle's DB product manager. (recommended)

Two Administrator Consoles - problem with logging

Hi Everybody,
This is my first post on this really great board, so first of all I would like say HELLO.
Now, my problem is.
I have got two Administrator Consoles on one machine to manage two domains.
When I logging to one Admin Console using web browser, logs me out of the other one.
I use the same name and password for both consoles.
Please help me understand what I doing wrong.
Thank You,
Paul

Hi Paul,
Welcome to OTN forums your views and ideas are really appreciated here.
Coming to you problem.
As you mentioned that you have two different domain running on same Machine but you cannot access both Admin console at one time because of having same port number on both port.
Weblogic Admin Server comes with default called 7001.
Now Try to change the Admin Server port to different one eg: 7003 and then you can start both the Admin console at a time.
Still you have issue please let me know.
Happy to help you :).
Regards,
Kal

BizTalk Administration Console problem after installing IBM iSeries Access

Hi,
We have a Biztalk Server 2010 environment on Windows Server 2008 R2 with SQL server on separate machine.
After installing IBM iSeries Access we get errors in Biztalk Administration Console, especially the Host Instance and Adapter information cannot be loaded.
Except for the errors in Adminsitration Console, the Biztalk installation seems to be working fine, so the integration processes doesn't seem to be affected.
We get the following error:
BizTalk Server cannot access SQL server. This could be due to one of the following reasons:
1. Access permissions have been denied to the current user. Either log on as a user that has been granted permissions to SQL and try again, or grant the current user permission to access SQL Server.
2. The SQL Server does not exist or an invalid database name has been specified. Check the name entered for the SQL Server and database to make sure they are correct as provided during SQL Server installation.
3. The SQL Server exists, but is not currently running. Use the Windows Service Control Manager or SQL Enterprise Manager to start SQL Server, and try again.
4. A SQL database file with the same name as the specified database already exists in the Microsoft SQL Server data folder.
Internal error from OLEDB provider: "The type initializer for 'System.Data.SqlClient.SqlConnection' threw an exception." (WinMgmt)
I tried to uninstall the IBM iSeries Access, but the problem remains.
This issue is related to this post
http://social.technet.microsoft.com/Forums/en-US/6f371f45-813c-48d8-80e3-bd94e00bf5dd
But this post seem to miss a solution.
Thanks fo your help with this!

Hi and thanks for your help!
The machine.config did it :)
According to this link there is a known issue with the IBM iSeries Access installation which removes the proper permissions from the machine.config and therefore Biztalk Administration Console stops working correctly.

OWB (10.2.0.1) repository assistant - repository owner creating problem

Oracle9i Release 2 (9.2.0.1)
Oracle Warehouse Builder 10g Release 2 (10.2.0.1)
Microsoft Windows XP
Hi,
during creating the repository owner in repository assistant in about 96% I had an ORA-22905 exception. I read somewhere that I need to patch 9i. I used
Oracle PatchSet 9.2.0.6
Now "Creating repository owner" step has stopped after i had set owner user and password. CPU is working on 100% and memory used by process is growing. There is no exceptions and Repository Assistant hangs.
.BorderLayout,title=Repository Assistant - Etap 5 z 8: Repository Owner Information,resizable,normal,defaultCloseOperation=DO_NOTHING_ON_CLOSE,rootPane=javax.swing.JRootPane[,4,30,690x543,invalid,layout=javax.swing.JRootPane$RootLayout,alignmentX=null,alignmentY=null,border=,flags=385,maximumSize=,minimumSize=,preferredSize=],rootPaneCheckingEnabled=true]

(End of log file)

I've had the same problem:
On windows XP pro, 32 bit
- Installed 9.2.0.1 Server
- Installed 9.2.0.6 Patch
- Installed Oracle Worflow + and created workflow user
- Installed OWB_10.2.0.1.win.zip
All seemed to be fine until attempting to create the OWB repository owner.
The first problem is the same as mentioned above. The issue relates to the view dba_kgllock which was forced created against objects that do not exist. To solve this I used TOAD to find the script used to create the view, deleted the view and created an empty table with the same columns.
This is a complete HACK but allowed OWB Repository Assistant. All then continued and was looking good until about 60% complete and then the system fails with a socket read fail within java.
Thats it, I've stopped dead now, going to continue installation attempts in the morning

Visual Administrator - Login Problem

hi all,
I am having problem starting visual administrator.since i am a new user here, i am provided with the user id/password ( not Administrator UID/PW ) and told that it has necessary authorizations.
when i try to start the VA by using my UID/PW and given connection paramters with the http port 55000,
Getting an error- unable to look up a connection "name i gave"
unable to lookup connection with the parameters "name i gave : port"
Lookup connection via message server - ( i chose this option while creating connetion paramters )
Direct connection to a dispatcher node
what am i doing wrong ? don't i have necessary permissions or i need to use the administrator and password ?
And we have two instances ( MD1 & MD2 ) running on the same server..how do i get the diiferent instance in VA by giving the same http port 55000 ?
I am not able to login..please help.
Addy

Nicholls,
I mentioned it wrongly..The P4 port was 55004 only..but the message server port shows only 3960.
> The Java message server port is normally 81xx, where xx is the instance number of SCS. I can't guess what that value is, but it is often 1 number higher than the CI number (in your case 50, which means SCS of 51).
The CI is 50..but why do we calculate 81xx ? And i always check the system info page only for any port information..that shows me only 3960.
Is it how we need to calculate for message port ( 81xx )...I was not knowing that..!
Now, I tried with 8151 also as per your guidance..but, no luck..:-(
Thanks!
