Workspace owner and repository user

I am little confused the difference between workspace owner and repository user?
I think, workspace owner is repository owner. What is the use of repository user? What is the role of repository user in OWB? We are using
OWB tool and i don't see anywhere we use repository user. I am trying to understand the difference between these two user.
Any one please help me on this...

The difference that I know is :
Repository Owner has permission of repository assistant manage both workspace owner or user,
and manage design center of a workspace :
setup a granular security policy (setup such roles, system privileges for each registered user,
objects (eg. design center->project explorer->choose an object(eg.table)->properties->security[full control,edit,compile,read]
to give which user you want to give rights))
while with repository user, we can't do all above.
Simple Analogy is rep owner is "Administrator" of a workspace.
Each workspace has a rep owner with few rep user (Workspace1, eg. rep owner is Oracle, rep user are John, Steven, Fina, etc)
(Workspace2, eg. rep owner is Sigma, rep user are Lina, Nila, Fanny, ect).
while it comes to design center all things is same except security modul in Global Explorer.

What is the difference between owb repository owner and repository user?

what is the difference between owb repository owner and repository user?

Hi,
the repository owner has full rights to do every thing in the repository. There is only one repository owner.
There may be multiple repository user for one of the following two purposes:
1. When working in a team, each team member can be added as a different repository user and can have different grants assigned. That way you can also see who has deployed what objects or who has run a mapping.
2. To be able to deploy into a database schema, that db user user has to be added as repository user as well. Make sure the "user is target schema" checkbox is checked.

Database owner and database user with db_owner permission

we deployed a java hibernate application which creates the database tables on deployment. A login is created and mapped for the database as the user. For that login the db_owner role is given. On the deployment we received an error mentioning execute permission
issue.
the same process is done and this time the login is created but not mapped as the user. the login is assigned as the database owner from the database property. this time the deployment worked fine.
what is the difference between setting the login as database owner and setting as a user with db_owner role.

The error i received was "the execute permission was denied on the object 'sp_tables'........".
I solved this issue by giving db_owner permission to master database for the relevant user.
In my local computer i didn't give permission to master database. I have only assign the user as the owner of the database and deployment was success.
But this error comes in another place where I implement the system.
if your application is not only a desktop application without anything critical on it, then I strongly advise to stay away from making anybody db_owner in the
master-database. That's THE system database. It's easy to take over that system for such an account then.
I am a bit surprised you are getting this error in that context. Originally the public role should have execute permission on it. So it seems someone has changed the defaults permissions (for hardening purposes?) Then reverting to original state is much
less harmful than the db_owner role.

Unable to download from AppStore, updates,etc.Messages 'the installer is damaged' to 'there might be a problem with file ownership and permissions.' I am the owner and only user of a new MBP. What could be going on?

Is anyone having the same type of problems I'm having with Lion. I have a new MacBook Pro, received 7 weeks ago, preinstalled with Leopard 10.6.7. I didn't migrate anything from my old iMac, wanted a clean install from the Apple Store. While there, I asked for the upgrade to Lion 10.7, however their system was down.
I installed it myself, wirelessly about a week later, and Apple emailed me a receipt. Now, I've had to call support directly last week when I lost Mail, Address Book, was unable to open Preview or iTunes, among other problems. Seemed fixed after a session that baffled even the store tech. Now I am unable to download or install the recent Mac updates for Lion, from the App Store, could not install Adobe Reader, etc. Messages range from 'A network error has occured - Check your Internet connection and try again' to 'The Installer is damaged and cannot open the package. There may be a problem with file ownership or permissions.' All fail and I'll probably have to call Apple again. I am frustrated beyond words. Logs 'Install's runner tool is not properly configured as a setuid tool', domain errors, 'attempt to write a readonly database, and on and on. I have barely done a thing on this computer except search online for help with these problems. Safari gives me a 'You are not connected to the internet' too often. Diagnostics disagrees. I do see wi-fi problems in the forum. Disk and permissions were fine at the beginning of the earlier problems, checked first by support tech. I'm not sure if support tech even knew. I was just happy they were fixed. Anyone have these download and/or install problems after a 'clean bill of health' so to speak, only a week ago?

Let's try the following user tip with that one:
"There is a problem with this Windows Installer package ..." error messages when installing iTunes for Windows

I have two pc, one with windows 7 professional and another with windows 8.1. I'm the only owner and user of both. One works with 32 bits and the other (windows 8.1) , 64 bits. Can I use acrobat standard XI in both pc's being the only usuary?

Just in case. I have two pc's one with windows 7 professional (32 bits) and another with windows 8.1 (64 bits). Can I use, with one license, as I'm the owner and only user, acrobat standard XI?. Thank you in advance
Francisco

Yes, the license allows 2 installs for the owner's personal use. You can check this in the license agreement if you wish.

Report listing workspace owners, workspaces and user names (11gR2)

I was looking for a simple report to show what has been created so far and to give an idea what to cleanup after my initial testing. The OWB 11g data collection script (owbcollect11g.sql) includes a section to exactly help with this. This needs to be executed as sys. Hopefully, this will help somebody else also. Please share any other suggestions.
Thanks,
Julian

The other approach might be to create separate workspace owners for each, i.e. dev/test, model and productionI think the second approach will be better as
1. From the security point of view the different workspace owners has diffrerent security policy for there dev/test model and production.
2. If at any point of time any one of the workspace would be corrupt it will not impact the other.

Management Repository - Custom procedure and email user account

Hi,
I am new to grid usage. Just I would like to make sure about the following:
1. Is it possible to create a custom procedure? Is it safe or any issues with that?
2. If possible, I would like to query the schedule related tables and send email to the network user(one of database repository user). In this procedure, can I send email to any user in the network or owner of the attached databases? or do I need to create or add user account to grid/management repository?
I appreciate your quick help. Thanks.

Hi
Do you need a procedure to send mail to different users that depend of the target database?
When a alert warning or critical appear you send a mail to diferent user that depend of target?
If the answer is yes, you can create diferent users in your grid control and diferents notification rules for each user and assign to databases target
example
You have the SYSMAN user that have a rule
Database availability and critical states --> for all targets
Create two users in grid
admin_1
admin_2
Log to grid with admin_1
Create a notification rule like database availability and critical states
Each the targets specifit to this users
The same process for admin_2

OMBCONNECT to other User than workspace owner

Hi,
OWB11gR2:
there is a registered OWB user REGUSER which is able to connect to the workspace OWB_WS in the designer console. OWB_WS is owned by user OWB_WS.
But this OMB command fails:
OMBCONNECT REGUSER/<passwd>@<connection string> USE WORKSPACE 'OWB_WS'
OMB01118: Herstellen einer Verbindung zum Repository nicht möglich. PRS-00511: Sie können zum Workspace REGUSER.OWB_WS keine Verbindung herstellen, weil er nicht vorhanden ist oder Sie kein registrierter Benutzer sind.
whereas
OMBCONNECT OWB_WS/<passwd>@<connection string> USE WORKSPACE 'OWB_WS'
or
OMBCONNECT OWB_WS/<passwd>@<connection string>
connect perfectly.
Does it mean that OMB*Plus allows just connects by the workspace owner? Is it a feature?
In OWB10gR2 it was possible to connect as not owning user.
best regards
Thomas

Hi Thomas,
specify workspace owner in workspace name parameter like this
OMBCONNECT REGUSER/<passwd>@<connection string> USE WORKSPACE 'OWB_WS.OWB_WS'

Hi Suresh,
for the target user, you have to drop all his synonyms and revoke all his roles with owb in their names before you can register him to another repository.

2 - We have designed a class called 'Criteria' which contains several
attributes, each of which are a class called 'Criterion'. The Criterion
class contains the attributes "Active", "From" and "To" which are simple
data types. Now if the 'Criteria' class is used for attributes in two other
classes (Say "ClassA" and "ClassB"), how can you match these
classes to RDBMS tables? I realise you could explicitly name columns
and attributes in SQL Select, Insert and Update statements, but that
has now defeated the purpose of creating the 'Criteria' class in the first
place. Namely, ease of future maintenance. Am I missing something
here?
Thanks in advance for any help.

Duncan,
1. There is no way to integrate a part of your workspace/class and not the other. So, before you integrate you have to make sure that it compiles and also your changes do not break what others are doing when they update. The only way to do it is to export the half finished projects/classes, integrate the good workspace and then import it back and continue your work.
It is important that there is some discipline and lot of unit testing as your application grows bigger and code larger and you go towards deployment. This will reduce the possibility of breaking others code (after you integrate and others update).
2. From what I have seen, compared to lot of tools Forte goes very far in providing a good and easy mapping from objects (rather object attributes) to table column mapping. All said and done there is a mismatch between pure objects and an RDBMS table. We have to live with it until we get to a stage where we can have OODBMSes which are still in its infancy compared RDBMSes. In forte you can map attributes of an object whose names are same as the column names. Another option is to alias the column names to match the attribute names in the SQL.
Now for my pet discussion of mapping objects to tables - It is easier and simple if you map an object to a table. OO purists might argue with me and say that is not very OOriented. That is right but we are dealing with a mismatch here. It is just that we are impedance matching by trying to persist an object into an RDBMS table.The other possibilities are to map 1 to many from object to a table and vice versa. Choose whatever is right for you. Eventually keep the performance in mind when you choose an approach.
Hope this helps.

Repository users in Designer 6

Hello.
I upgraded from Designer 1.3.2 to Designer 6. The database version is Oracle
8.0.5.0.1 running on Win NT.
After the upgradation I am not able to access the application systems when
connected as a repository user. The repository users have been granted the
access rights for the particular applications by the repository owner.
How do I get to view the applications as a repository user.
Thanks in advance,
Please Reply,
Arun

It is very important to read the Online Documentation of Designer/2000 ( 6i) before Installing a Repository. There are steps like System Requirements etc and step by step about Installing the Repository. There are steps like New Tablespace, User , Roles etc and once must read these steps before attempting to Install the Repository. I have done this and it worked.
Hope this helps.

Create repository user

We have OWB 9.2.0.4. We created owb92repos repository owner and owb92reposr runtime user. Management asked me to create new user with privileges mapping in owb92repos and deploy owb92reposr. What should I do for this?
Please help. It is emergencies.

Hi,
i`m not realy sure if i know what you mean.
The Architecture in OWB is the Following:
You need 1 Design Repository (for the Metadatas) and n RuntimeRepositorys.
So the Steps are:
- Create a Desing Repository (with RepoUser and Target Schemata)
- Create n much Runtime Repositorys (with RepoOwner/User and Target Schemata)
You can create multiple Target Schemata in an existing Runtime Repository
by using the Wizzards.
Or you can create a new Runtime Repository with new Target Schematas in it
by using the Wizzards.

SharePoint 2013 - What are all requirement components for People Pickers to list, search, display, and assign users permission

Hi All
the past few months, I have been working with permission issues related to SharePoint 2013 site permission settings using People Pickers to list, search, display users to assign or check permission.
Our environment include multiple domains and few forests. Our SharePoint farm is installed on one domain but the good thing is our AD structure are configured to have all other domains and forests with 2 ways trusts with this domain so domain
users are authenticated and can access SharePoint just fine. Also SharePoint use default claim authentication.
The problem is People Picker is not display all domains user accounts when site owners need to assign permission. So to resolve the problem, I had provisioned
SA - User profile service and Import AD domain user accounts (one way) into Sharepoint.
I configured stsadm.exe -o setproperty -pn peoplepicker-searchadforests -pv
for all domains and forests (eventhough, as mentioned we do have 2 ways trust)
and sometime tried different query (user last name, domain\logonname, email address) if one is not showing.
With all that added, People Pickers seem to find and display user account for all domains now.
My question now is do UPS and all AD domains users need to be imported into SharePoint and STSadm configuration are required in order to have all domains user accounts to display in People Pickers so the site owners can
find them and assign permission when needed?
Please share your advices, comments as they are really valuable to me.
Thanks
Swanl

UPS and people pickers are virtually unrelated. The only connection between them is to do with caching and updating user names and emails if they change over time, or in other words not relevant to your situation.
To answer your question directly; Nope, you do not need to set up synchronisation connections to a domain to be able to pick up a person in a people picker. As you've seen you may need to run some STSADM commands to make sure they are checking the right
places.
