Runtime and design repository in OWB 10.2

Hi,
I am doing a migration from OWB 10.1.0.4 to OWB 10.2. In the previous versions of OWB there was two repositories: the design and the runtime. In the last version there is only one repository.
Searching in the documentation, I found that if I want two separate repositories in this new version, I have to build two repositories. Then, from the Design Center I could access the Control Center Managers of the two repositories, without having the metadata in both repositories.
The problem is: I can't get the control center of the second repository configured in the right way. Or I can't start the mappings because of privileges, or the objects don't appear in the control center.
How can I work with two repositories with OWB 10.2? Should I give up this approach and build just one repository?
Thanks

Its resolved now it was because of an access issue.

Dropped Design Repository from OWB

I accidentally dropped the design repository from OWB. A backup copy has been restored to the DB, but still it's missing. Please help.

What OWB release you used and how did you create backup?
If OWB release is 9.2 and backup has been created with Oracle exp utility then you can try to use script Restore_repos.txt from OWB Sample code page (this is the sequence of actions for restoring design repository). Find this script at
http://www.oracle.com/technology/sample_code/products/warehouse/index.html
Maybe this document will work and for OWB10gR1 but I don't sure.

OWB and Designer Repository

I get an error when I try to set the Application System for
Oracle Designer Repository as the Metatada source.
The Module Wizard lets me create a database link to my Designer
Repository owner, I've tested it form SQL+, but when I try to set
the Application System the answer is "The database link does not
point to a valid Oracle Designer repository". But it points to
the user who owns the Repostory!!!!
Do I need to grant any access in Oracle Desinger to my OWB user?
Can OWB connet to any Repository version?
Tools:
Database 8.1.7
Desinger 6i Rel.4
OWB 3i

I'm afraid you are right, I've read the same this morning, OWB3i
does not read Repository 6i tables. I hope Oracle will do
something about that soon.
Thanks,
Jose.

Installation of Design Repository using OWB Rel 1

I installed OWB Rel 1 on server and then try to create Design Repository.
It did not work as error appears on first screen " Can not connect o database - verify connect information". I provided correct information (sys user/password, host name, service name, port number) and tried different things e.g. instead of host name ip address etc. But result was same.
any body can help me to sort this out?

Hi,
i´m not sure but i think you must give a connect string, in an explicit sequence.
Well, maybe you better have a look at the Guides of Installation.
Watch there: http://www.oracle.com/technology/documentation/index.html

Error java.sql.exception when setting up repository for OWB 11g

I am encountering the following error on the last step of Repository Assistant, that is, while trying to set up the design repository in OWB 11g:

I am new to OWB so please let me know if I've left out any information that would help in figuring out why the installation is not completing.
Thanks.

The only thing I can think of in OWB 11g is that the main schema that is used, which is OWBSYS, wasn't fully installed or it doesn't have all the tables or views it needs or they weren't created properly with the cat_owb.sal script.
Something must not have been created right. I would try to stop all OWB services with the appropriate scripts in:
<your_owb_home>owb\rtp\sql
try the stop_service.sql script.
Then try to drop the users owbsys and whatever you might have created (if it exists) for a workspace owner user. Then clean up with:
<your_owb_home>\owb\UnifiedRepos\clean_owbsys.sql
After that it is back to the drawing board from the beginning. DO these steps again that you likely did in the first place:
1. create owbsys with:
<your_owb_home>\owb\UnifiedRepos\cat_owb.sql <tablespace_name>
2. Set the control center home with:
<your_owb_home>\owb\UnifiedRepos\reset_owbcc_home.sql <your_owb_home>
*pay attention to the case of the the OWB HOME you give as a variable to the above script. It needs to match the case of your real path.
3. Finally unlock owbsys.
4. look at <your_owb_home>\owb\bin\admin\ if the rtrepos.properties file size is at '0'. If it is for some reason, rename it to something else right now.
5. Then try to run the repository assistant again.

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.

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.

Why we need Design Repository and Runtime repository seperately?

Hi All,
Anybody please tell me why we need design time repository and runtime repository seperately? And also I want to know the total OWB Architecture.
Thanks,

Hi Siv:
Concerning Repository:
Since OWB 10.2 there is only one Repository storing Design and Runtime-Components.
excerpt from http://download.oracle.com/docs/cd/E10926_01/doc/owb.101/b12146/over.htm (OWB 10.1.):
The Design Repository, installed in an Oracle database, stores the metadata definitions for all of the objects used in Warehouse Builder. This is where all of the design information is stored for the target systems you are creating. You can access metadata stored here using the client user-interface, or through OMB Plus, the Warehouse Builder scripting utility.
The runtime repository, installed in an Oracle database, stores all of the deployment data as well as data from executed mappings and process flows. This is where the target environment information is stored for the business intelligence systems you create. This includes connection information for all of the deployment locations.
Which version of OWB are you using?

One schema for OWB Design repository, runtime repository

Can we use only one schema for the design and runtime repositories on the same database instance and leave the target schemas separate? What are the advantages and disadvantages of this approach?
Thanks a lot for your time and reply.

Hello beatbisig
You got it right. Starting from OWB10gR2, the two types of repositories have been merged in to one. So if you have your design work hosted on one database, but want to keep the production database off-limits from developers you deploy from your design repository to the production repository. If you then connect to the production repository using the Design Center you wouldn't see any mappings there.
Why this wasn't done in the first place, even using the Oracle Designer repository I never understood ...

Thanks in advance!

Hi
When you run a mapping from the OWB Client with the Deployment Manager frist you have to login into a runtime repository with an access user. So you don't run the mapping with a designer user, you run it with a runtime user through an access user.
You can find the deployment (runtima access) user in the ALL_RT_AUDIT_DEPLOYMENTS.CREATED_by/UPDATED_by fileds.

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.

Installing OWB runtime and targets without assistant?

Can anyone tell me if it is possible to install all the repositories (Design repo, runtime repo) and the target schemas with a script, rather than using the assistants.
We would like to automate the total installation of our DW solution as much as possible. Therefore, we are trying to also install the design repository, the runtime repository and the five targets using a script. No luck till now... The import of mdl and deploying of objects, mappings and flows using OMB scripting works fine... ;)
Any suggestions?
Koen

What you need, is runtime on each instance that contains target locations.
For the runtime environment, you need to download and install the server-side (on the HP-UX box) software.
To avoid this, you might be able to use synonyms and db-links on your WIN XP box.

OWB Design Repository Tables

Hi All,
Is there any document from where I can get a decent insight into the OWB design repository tables and their functions.
Being a bit more specific, while working in OWB 10gR1 I have experienced situations where a mapping suddenly shows a null pointer exception and becomes un-editable, and un-deployable and un-executable. The only solution then is to make the mapping from scratch. If I can know which all design repository tables are involved in storing a mapping information, then perhaps I can go to the backend fix the issue and retrieve the mapping.
Please let me know if any of you have any infomation regarding this.

Thanks a lot for your information. It gives me some idea of the tables from which these read only views are created.
I hope, in order to understand more what these underlying tables are for, I need to scratch my head :))

Do we hav to create a separate repository for Designer Repository??

Hi
I have created a repository using a Repository Assistant. Do we have to create a separate repository for Designer Repository??? If so, how do we create a Designer Repository??

Hi,
The basic installation of OWB paris makes a repository owner and a repository user for you.
This owner serves as the design repository owner as well as the runtime repository owner.
For creating your mappings and deploying and executing them you just need to associate a target schema with the repository owner which you can do from the repository assistant from within the design center.
I hope you are talking about OWB paris and I have been able to guess your question correctly.
