Repository connection for all user

Question

Hi,
I have following question. I have ODI studio installed on a machine. Many users are using this machine via remote desktop.
I have created repository connection and I can succesfully connect. However other users of this PC when try to connect to repository do not see this connection in login name list and can not log in. How to make it vissible to all users? I can not create repository connection on all of theirs users accounts and not want to share maste repository db password.
Best regards,
Greg

You can add a windows environment variable IDE_USER_DIR and setting it to a directory, then copy the config information from your user directory
Have a read in Oracle Support - "How To Set Up A Shared ODI Studio Environment To Allow Multiple Users To Have Their Own Specific Folders On Microsoft Windows OS? [ID 1277560.1]"
If you read the article it says to add a user folder I think if you don't enter the user folder and copy the config files from a user directory it may use one folder for all (though I can't remember to be honest)
e.g. create IDE_USER_DIR and set it to C:\ODI_CONFIG
Copy C:\Users\<USERNAME>\AppData\Roaming\odi\oracledi folder to C:\ODI_CONFIG
If it doesn't work with one root folder then you can just create user directories under the directory set in IDE_USER_DIR and copy the config contents into each folder.

Do you really have 39 unresolved questions, I just ask because you have asked a number of questions recently on the planning forum and you never bother to mark them correct,helpful or answered.
