Repository connection information gui question

I am going through the "Getting started with oracle data integrator" document (E12641-01). I am at the part where I am supposed to create a work repository(step 5 of page 4-4). Unfortunately, the repostory connection information gui will not allow me to input a name for the work repository in the little text field. The cursor blinks but no text appears when I type. It is as if the text field is locked.
The following describes my system configuration:
Microsoft Windows Server 2003 R2 Standard x64 Edition Service Pack 2
Oracle Data Integrator 11g Standalone Edition Version 11.1.1
Build ODI_11.1.1.3.0_GENERIC_100623.1635
Java(TM) Platform 1.6.0_25-ea
Oracle IDE 11.1.1.3.0
WebLogic server 10.3
Oracle Server 11gR1
I have both JDK 32bit and 64bit packages installed on my 64-bit machine. Apparently, odiclient only works with 32-bit jdk package.

Question solved:

Repository Connection Information in odiparams.bat

Hi,
can we provide more than one repository connection information
in odiparams.bat file.
If yes, Can you please tell the way.
Thanks in advance

Hi Jieyuan,
Your question is indeed related but it usually is clearer if you create your own thread unless you are facing exactly the same issue.
A quick answer to your query:
If you search the help files on "Launching a Scheduler Agent" near the bottom of the page you will be told what the parameters that require setting in odiparams.
If you have access to Metalink, "Note 451903.1: Agent Setup Best Practices" is authoritative.
Hope this solves your problem

Repository connection for all user

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.

Performance Issue when setting connection information

I am writing a Winforms application using VB.NET
I have developed a method that sets the Crystal Reports Connection.
This method first grabs the connection string from the config file creates a Crystal Reports ConnectionInfo object.
The following code then takes over 5 seconds to run:
Dim myTables As Tables = report.Database.Tables
Dim myTableLogonInfo As TableLogOnInfo = New TableLogOnInfo()
myTableLogonInfo.ConnectionInfo = myConnectionInfo
Then this code takes over 6 seconds to run:
For Each myTable As CrystalDecisions.CrystalReports.Engine.Table In myTables
myTable.ApplyLogOnInfo(myTableLogonInfo)
    myTable.LogOnInfo.ConnectionInfo.DatabaseName = myTableLogonInfo.ConnectionInfo.DatabaseName
    myTable.LogOnInfo.ConnectionInfo.ServerName = myTableLogonInfo.ConnectionInfo.ServerName
    myTable.LogOnInfo.ConnectionInfo.UserID = myTableLogonInfo.ConnectionInfo.UserID
    myTable.LogOnInfo.ConnectionInfo.Password = myTableLogonInfo.ConnectionInfo.Password
Next
This only occurs the first time that the form is loaded, the subsequent times it is
335ms (as compared to 5349ms) and 52ms (as compared to 6228ms)
However, when the application is reloaded the same slow times re-occur.
There are not many different tables in my report generally 3 or less. Only 1 table in this case.
This is currently in test and VS2008 and SQLServer2005 are both running locally. The same issue does occur in the QA environment as well, where the application is run on the client and the database is on a server on the same LAN.
So my question is, can I improve the speed of this portion of code? Why does it take so long to set the report connection information? Am I doing connections to the report incorrectly?
Any ideas?
Thanks,

This is an expected behavior. First time the code is run, the app loads all the CR runtime; assemblies, dlls, COM dlls, etc., etc. Once these are in memory, the performance improves significantly. For more details and possible work-arounds, see [this|https://www.sdn.sap.com/irj/scn/go/portal/prtroot/docs/library/uuid/8029cc96-6ff3-2b10-47a2-b30ea790ea5b] article.

In the ReportDocument.Load method it tries to connect using the using the connection information embedded in the Report File

Post Author: bhaveshbusa
CA Forum: Crystal Reports
In the ReportDocument.Load method it tries to connect using the using the connection information embedded in the Report File. When the application calls ReportDocument.Load(reportFileName). This
tries to connect to the database using the connection information embedded in
the "reportFileName". This was only realised on checking the ODBC Trace
Log. The connection itself is not a problem. The problem is that the embedded
connection information is related to OLD production system. And failed
connections had raised some concerns.
Note: I am using
SetDataSource to populate the data for the report. So I don't need the
connection.
Is there any way I
can disable this auto-connect?
Thanks and

I need a help in answering one of the issue encountered last week.
I have created a database link and tried to access the information from a table using the program written in another language. The password provided was incorrect for that user while creating database link. So we expected that,while retrieving the data, Database connection has to be errored out as password provided is incorrrect.
But unfortunately, user account was locked out. When i checked with DBAs they mentioned that it tries to connect 16 ports with in a min of time.we were shocked as it STOPS another scheduled jobs with that user. and affects production badly.
As per the program, it has to connect only one time and yesterday we tried to execute the program in DBAs observation and it errored out as expected. Didn't tried for multiple ports.
Now the question is, WHY the database connection established 16 times last week and caused user account locked. DBAs are unable to answer it. Any EXPERTs opinion on this would greatly appreciated.
I have verified managing ports in oracle documentation, it was mentioned that if one port is busy it will try to connect to another port in the range of ports mentioned during the installtion. DBAs verified ports related file and it was blank. and they are not agreeing with this reason. Please HELP me in finding the correct REASON for this.
is it a NETWORK issue or issue with DATABASE SERVER only?
Thanks

Error Message: The attempt to connect to the report server failed. Check your connection information and that the report server is a compatible version. The request failed with HTTP status 404: Not Found.

I have a web page that contains a ReportViewer control. I am trying to display a report, which is an .rdl file located on the SSRS server, in this ReportViewer control. I have set the ReportPath and ReportServerUrl correctly. I am
getting an error message.
Am I suppose to use an .rdlc file rather than a .rdl file? Does the web server configuration need to use a certain account?
I am getting the following error message:

Hi bucaroov,
The error "The request failed with HTTP status 404: Not Found." means the ReportServerURL configured in the ReportViewer control is invalid.
Please follow these steps to solve the issue:
Logon the Report Server machine.
Open the Reporting Services Configuration Manager.
Copy the Report Server URL from 'Web Services URL'.
Logon the application server(in this case, it is the server that host the web page), check if we can use the URL we got from step 3 to access the Report Server. If so, please replace the ReportServerURL in the ReportViewer control with this URL. If it is
not available, could you please post the error message.
Additionaly, we don't need to provide the extension for a server report. The ReportPath should be like: /<reports folder>/<report name>
For more information, please see:

SQL Transformation - Static connection information is inappropriate

Hello,
I'm a newbie to Informatica and I have a problem with the SQL Transformation.
The mapping I created is valid. I created a session and a workflow. I set correct DB connections for the source and target in the "mapping" properties of the session.
But when I start the task it fails with the errors:
[ERROR] Failed to get the connections
[ERROR] Static connection information is inappropriate to create a valid Database handle
In the Informatica help it is written for SQL Transformation for Static connection - which type of connection is my SQL Transformation - "Configure the connection object in the session. You must first create the connection object in Workflow Manager." What does it mean?
Why static information could be inappropriate?
Informatica Version: 8.6.0
Oracle DB Version: 11g2
Informatica is installed on Windows XP

Hi,
According to your post, my understanding is that you got an error in your PowerView report.
The error may be caused by Kerberos authentication issue due to missing SPN. In order to make the Kerberos authentication work, you need to configure the Analysis Services to run under a domain account, and register the SPNs for the Analysis
Services server.
To create the SPN for the Analysis Services server that is running under a domain account, run the following commands at a command prompt:
Setspn.exe -S      MSOLAPSvc.3/Fully_Qualified_domainName OLAP_Service_Startup_Account
     Note:      Fully_Qualified_domainName is a placeholder for the FQDN.
Setspn.exe -S      MSOLAPSvc.3/serverHostName OLAP_Service_Startup_Account
For more information, please see:
How to configure SQL Reporting Services 2012 in SharePoint Server 2010 / 2013 for Kerberos authentication
As this issue is related to PowerView report, if the issue still exists, I recommend you can post you question to PowerView forum.

Delete connection information from portal

i have successfully imported the portal pages and portlets.now i am not able to edit the connection information as it is disabled in the connection information for my old connection.
how can i delete or edit connection information from portal

Check out this thread. Something similar would do for a KM Repository as well.

Could not retain the repository connections in portal admin console.

Hi
i have created additional WLP repository (stream based) in oracle.
and configured as datasource in server console. and added respective JNDI name in portal admin console.
and i could add/delete the content. But when ever i am restarting the machine i am loosing the added connection from portal admin console only.the connection configuration server console is safe.
each time i have to configure it with same JNDI name add work with it in portal admin console only when ever i restart the machine.
The content and datasources configuration is safe .
but When ever i am creating additional WLP repository i could not see the respective details have updated in content-mgmt.xml in EAR meta-inf.
is that because of that. if so why it is getting updated when it is adding new connection in admin console.

When you create a Repository connection at run-time using the Portal Admin, the configuration is written to a Deployment Plan. By default, the Deployment Plan is written to a location which can be deleted during an application redeployment. You can specify a location for the deployment plan, which will not get deleted, via the WebLogic Server Console or you can add the information to the content-config.xml in <earProject>/meta-inf.

Connection information for Deployment Manager

Happy Friday to all
Environment:
OWB 10g Client on Windows XP Professional
Repository - 9.2.0.4 on UNIX (AIX 5.2)
Runtime (1) - 9.2.0.4 on UNIX (AIX 5.2)
Runtime (2) - 9.2.0.4 on UNIX (AIX 5.2)
Target - 9.2.0.4 on UNIX (AIX 5.2)
I'm having a 'little' trouble getting my 2nd deployment location to work.
1- When I first connect to the Runtime through Deployment Manager I am prompted for 'Connect As User' and its password. What user is it looking for?
a) Runtime User (rtu)
b) Runtime Repository Owner (rtr)
c) Some UNIX user
d) Some other Oracle database user
2- When I'm trying to Register a location I am prompted for a Schema Name, Password and Service Name. What schema name does this refer to?
a) Runtime user (rtu)
b) Runtime Repository Owner (rtr)
c) Target schema
3- I was able to deploy a directory and an external table to the second runtime environment. However, when I try to deploy a mapping I get the following error:
RPE-01012: Cannot deploy to the target location because it is owned by a different runtime platform.
Where is the conflict? I have connected to the correct Runtime environment via the Deployment Manager but maybe I'm using the wrong connection information as described above.
This whole connection 'thing' is very confusing and the documentation is pretty weak in that area.
Any assistance is greatly appreciated.
Thanks for all the effort in supporting this site. It is very very useful!

Thanks for the quick response.
In my case I have the same schema (location) acting as a source and target. It is not my primary target but nonetheless I have the need to truncate and insert into tables in that schema.
Do I need to set up two (2) different locations because I use the same one for both a source and target???
I use my primary location for both a source and target in other mappings so I don't see that there's a difference.
What, exactly, is the error message I'm getting (RPE-01012 : Cannot deploy to the target location because it is owned by a different runtime platform.) telling me?
Who is it that 'owns' the runtime platform?
I only have one (1) runtime platform on that server although I do have my primary runtime platform on another server. Both runtime environments use the same schema name (OWB_RTR in my case), they have different target schemas and are on different servers.
I don't understand where the confusion is except in my own mind! ;-)>
Many thanks for the assistance.

Excel, PowerView error in SharePoint 2013: "An error occurred while loading the model for the item or data source 'EntityDataSource'. Verify that the connection information is correct and that you have permissions to access the data source."

Hi Ali.y,
Based on the current error message, the error can be related to the
Claims to Windows Token Service (C2WTS) and is an expected error under certain conditions. To verify the issue, please check the aspects below:
     1. The C2WTS Windows service and C2WTS SharePoint service are both running.
     2. Check the SQL Server Browser service is running on the machine that has the PowerPivot instance of SSAS.
     3. Check the domain. You're signing into SharePoint with a user account in some domain (call it Domain A). When Domain A is equal to Domain B which SharePoint server itself is located (they're the same domain), or Domain
A trusts Domain B.
In addition, the error may be caused by Kerberos authentication issue due to missing SPN. In order to make the Kerberos authentication work, you need to configure the Analysis Services to run under a domain account, and register the SPNs for the Analysis
Services server.
To create the SPN for the Analysis Services server that is running under a domain account, run the following commands at a command prompt:
• Setspn.exe -S MSOLAPSvc.3/Fully_Qualified_domainName OLAP_Service_Startup_Account
Note: Fully_Qualified_domainName is a placeholder for the FQDN.
• Setspn.exe -S MSOLAPSvc.3/serverHostName OLAP_Service_Startup_Account

Never mind, got it to work. I stumbled around on Google for a while and somehow ended up reading things from the 'jailbroken' community. They had easy instructions to get out of Recovery mode. Thanks anyway though!
P.S. For anyone who experiences this, here is the fix: Hold Power and Home in unison for 6 seconds, then power on as normal.

Runtime repository connects on remote system fails in connection

Hi,
I've created runtime repository and access users and target schema on linux server through owb server install. Sqlplus onnections from my window2k PC work OK for all 3 users.
I created a second runtime repository connection from my owb designer on windows2k system. When I bring up deployment manager and try to connect to the remote target through this connection, it fails with RTC-5260:failed to connect to runtime platform...,and ORA_01017:invalid username/password. Also, I notices a java thread on the remote linux server was created each time I tried the connection .
I have the connection alias under both OWB and OracleDB tnsnames. What's the problem?
