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.

How to login to OWB Design Browser

Hi everyone,
when i try to open OWB Design Browser it is asking the following
details :
Oracle HTTP Server Host ______________________
(The Oracle HTTP server host you provide must contain the entire path including the domain name. )
Oracle HTTP Server Port _______________________
( The default Oracle HTTP server port is 7777. )
Oracle HTTP Server DAD ________________________
(The Oracle HTTP Server Database Access Descriptor (DAD) is the same as your Warehouse Builder design repository name or user name. )
where can i get these details ?
how can i log in to get into my local OWB design reports?
Please guide me,
Thanks,

Ashvin
These values come from the serever that is hosting your repository. The Design Browser is a web interface so you need to have an HTTP server running. In our case we are using the Apache software that loads with the database and we are runing it on a UNIX server.
The HTTP service must be started.
The port used is 7777 by default but you can change that in the Project->Preferences->Browser tab from within OWB. Set this port to whatever you have in that Browser tab.
The DAD, as the note says, defaults to the username of the Design Repository and is usually set up during the install. You can see the DAD's that are set up by using your browser and going to http://<servername>:<port>. There will be a link to the DAD set up screen.
Hope this helps a little. Good luck.

OWB Design Browser reports Unexpected Error

Hi,
I am trying OWB904 demo on OracleDB 9.2.0.2 and I have problem with OWB Design Browser. I can view all the reports but seems that I can not see any Diagrams (Impact and/or Lineage) - every time I get error message:
Unexpected Error
Unexpected Error
The operation can not be performed at the present time. Please contact your administrator for assistance.
I already tried Refreshing Dependency Index (several times) and set the MS_IE Browser setting for "Check for newer versions of stored page" to "every visit to the page". Does not help - still getting "Unexpected Error".
Any hint what else to try ???

Bojan,
There are two possibilities, both related to installation and set-up:
1. Has XML Toolkit been installed in SYS schema? This XML Toolkit is needed for Lineage diagrams to show correctly.
Check under SYS schema, whether you have XMLDOM and XMLParser package. Other way to check this is to see whether you have any invalid state package or package body in your OWB repos schema(OWBB_LIA and LIA_CLIENT are related to lineage diagrams).
2. Check two tables: lia_xml_table and lia_xml_table2 have existed in OWB repos schema or not. They are needed for diagrams. One reason they may not been created during installation is these tables contain CLOB columns, and Oracle has a limitation: According to the 9i documentation: You cannot store LOBs in AUTO segment-managed tablespaces.

Running OWB Design Center in X Windows

hi,
i'm trying to run the latest version of the OWB Design Center in X Windows using X-Win32 V.7.0 on my Windows XP box.
OWB is installed on Oracle's Enterprise Linux.
The design center window comes up after logon, but it is all greyed-out, as if it were hanging for some reason.
Are there any settings on the owb or xwindows side that need to be tweaked in order for it to run smoothly?
Thank you.
- Kenny R.

The design center window comes up after logon, but it
is all greyed-out, as if it were hanging for some
reason.All greyed-out? Not your root window, is it? Been running Cygwin to a Solaris box - no problems. If it's not your root window, then possibly it's something to do with your X-client, rather than on the desktop side.

OWB Design Browser

Hi,
I am trying to use the Design Browser but it does not work. Here are the steps I followed.
-- apache is started
-- started the OC4J instance
-- created the DAD
-- started design browser, it shows up this address in the browser : http://127.0.0.1:8999/owbb/DBLogin.uix
-- After I type in the HTTP server host name, port, DAD, it prompts me for a username and password dialog box.
-- I typed here the schema name and password where the Design repository is installed.
After this it gives me 'The page cannot be found' error in the browser. Any help will be appreciated.
Thanks Venkat.

Venkat,
As a test, you might want to try to save the password in de DAD and then use the URL:
http://<hostname>:<port>/pls/<repown>/<repown>.wmp_api_call.home
where <repown> is the name of the design repository owner and of the DAD.
For example:
http://127.0.0.1:8999/pls/dwrep/dwrep.wmp_api_call.home
You then bypass the OC4J instance (no need to start it).
regards,
Emiel.

Design Browser

hi,
I was installed OWB and all works ok except Design repository.
I put this data at the login page:
Oracle HTTP Server Host: 15.0.0.25
Oracle HTTP Server Port: 7777
Oracle HTTP Server DAD: repos_usr
but when I try to login, a "ENTER NETWORK PASSWORD" dialog appears and shows:
site: 15.0.0.25
Realm: repos_usr
and ask to me the pass and usr. But I don´t know what usr and pass it refers.
Regards,
Ana

To see the design browser in local mode (the most often used mode) you can start the OWB design browser from the OWB program menu. You will have to provide the host name (localhost if you are running everything on the same machine), the HTTP port where the database http server runs (usually 7777, 7778 or 7779) and the Database Access Descriptor (the design repository schema name). You also have to run the OC4J instance (start it from the OWB program menus). You seem to have some network problems in accessing the host you entered - can you check this with your network administrator?

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.

Enable Design Browser Client (HTTP 404)

I've completed the design time and runtime installs for OWB, however, when I try to enable warehouse builder design browser client (section 2.4 of the OWB9.2InstallGuide docs) I get the initial screen from HTTP Server listing the following:
Apache Documentation
JServ Documentation
Demo
Oracle JSP Documentation
Demos
SOAP Release Notes and Documentation
Mod_SSL Web Site
OpenSSL
FastCGI Developer's Kit Documentation
mod_perl Web Site
Mod_plsql Configuration Menu
BC4J Documentation and Samples
XML Developers Kit XDK Documentation
Mod_OSE Documentation
When I select "mod_plsql Configuration Menu" I get a HTTP 404 error. Seems like it should be a simple config change, but I'm not sure what that would be. Anyone run into this. Any help would be appreciated.
TIA

Hi Mahesh,
I'm guessing your port is 7778 (you can find that in the file: <Oracle_home_DB>\Apache\Apache\conf\httpd.conf. Look for "Port 777" using Find in the file).
Take a look at the configuration guide for OWB for more details but these are the highlights:
The first thing to do is going to http://locahost:7778
There you you click the MOD PL/SQL entry. Create a Database Access Descriptor, use the same name for this as the OWB Design repository schema.
Then start the OC4J and launch the design browser from the programs owb entry.
That should work.
For the Runtime browser there is no need to create a dad, just start the OC4J and use the menu entry.
Hope this helps,
Jean-Pierre

Design Browser Client

Hi,
We have started installing OWB at our site and I managed to install Design & runtime repos. I am trying to enable the Design browser client. But hitting problems.
While installing Design repos, I have not mentioned any Port number. We have Oracle 9.2 database running on Windows 2000.
My HTTP Server is running and so OC4J.
When I give this, http://localhost:7778:owb_mahesh/, it does nothing. while I replace 7778 with 7777 it immediately comes out with an error. I tried 7779 and i get the same error.
When I initiate Browser from OWB Program menu, it tries to open the browser client with address - http://127.0.0.1:8999/owbb/DBLogin.uix.
Any guidence is really helpful.
Many Thanks
mahesh

How to make adobe flash player content on websites run on safari browser of my ipad?

How to make adobe flash player content on websites run on safari browser of my ipad?do I have to install adobe flash player on my ipad ?

The flash add-on is not available for Safari on iOS. Never has been and in fact Adobe has ceased support for flash for mobile devices in general. Your options, depending on the specific sites:
See if the site or sites in question have their own apps availabel in teh app store
Look into some browsers such as Puffin adn iSwifter (there are others, I beleive). These browsers use a third server site to translate the flsh content into a form that the iPAd can use and restreams them to you. They may not work with all content.
Use a computer capable of running flash.
Seek a source of the conent that is designed for non flash use.

OMBPlus TCL-script in OWB Designer at startup?

Is there a way to run a OMBPlus script in OWB Designer automatically at startup?
What I would like is a small tcl script that just contains a procedure like:
proc run_script {} {
source "I://OMB//SCRIPTS//2009//DEPLOY//START_DEPLOY.tcl"
Then the users can just access the OMBplus part of the screen and type
OMB> run_script
(This instead of typing the entire source command...)
Is this possible? To automatically run a small script at startup?

Hi,
Is this possible? To automatically run a small script at startup?OMBPlus is a Tcl/Java based (Jacl) TCL interpreter and it support auto_load mechanism (with auto_path variable and tclIndexfile).
And please note that this mechanism doesn't work if you start OWB from Windows Start menu (use OWBHOME\owb\bin\win32\owbclient.bat instead).
1) place your small tcl script into directory (for example into c:\tcl_autostart and name of your script small_script.tcl)
2) Modify setowbenv.bat file (in OWBHOME\owb\bin\win32 directory) - add line
SET TCLLIBPATH="C:/tcl_autostart"3) create in c:\tcl_autostart directory file tclIndex (without any file extension!) with contents (the first line must be exact I specify, because TCL interpreter check it before processing tclIndex)
# Tcl autoload index file, version 2.0
set auto_index(run_script) \[list source \[file join $dir small_script.tcl\]\]Now start OMBPlus (with OMBPlus.bat) or OWB (with owbclient.bat) - and you have new command run_script
Tested on OWB 10.2.0.3
Regards,
Oleg

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.

How to open the OWB Design Center in Linux

Hi All,
Currently, our OWB10.2. is installed in the Window2003 server, I could login the servers and go to Program -> OWB -> Design Center to open the Design center and create my own project or mapping.
We just install OWB 10.2.0.4 in a Linux Ret Hat server, I don't know how to open the Design Center from the Linux.
Should I open it from the Linux server(How), or I could remotely launch the Design Center from my PC (Window XP) to create my project (actually try to migrate project from the weindow2003 server to Red hat Linux server)?
Thanks
Kevin

Hi David,
I found the file and executed it, but got this list of errors, do you have any idea?
Thanks

How to login Design Browser

I have Oracle 9i Server, OWB 9.2 Server and Client installed in my system ( Windows 2000 Professional ). Actually I want to login to Design Browser to view reports on design repository. So, for that I have created a DAD. While entering all the required information, its ask again for a user name and password. After entering three times it throws an error which is "Authorization Required
This server could not verify that you are authorized to access the document requested. Either you supplied the wrong credentials (e.g., bad password), or your browser doesn't understand how to supply the credentials required. Oracle HTTP Server Powered by Apache/1.3.22 Server at tcs044227.tcskolkata.co.in Port 7778". And I am unable to login.
Anybody can help me out in this matter.
Thanks
