Wrong information in Metadata Repository

Hey Guru's,
I searched for objects in the BI Metadata Repository and found an error.
I looked für a query and the corresponding workbook. But I found another workbook that doesn't exist anymore.
As a goal, I'd like to have a screenshot for project documentation. There I can see the data flow from query to workbook an the roles, they are in.
Actually I see on the one hand the data flow from existing query to not existing workbook and on the other hand the right workbook and it's roles.
So there must be an error in tables of metadata repository.
Can anyone help me.
Thanks.
Best regards Nico

Error in Installing SSO Metadata Repository Creation Assistant (10.1.4.3.1)

Is there another newer Installation guide from oracle?
thank you

Good question, rozester.
I encountered this problem also, while trying to install the SSO MRCA 10.1.4.3.1 on 64-bit RHEL5 (though it's at version 5.7 but I'm positive that won't make any difference to the result).
This may or may not match your situation, but when I looked in the log file $ORACLE_HOME/assistants/repca/log/repca_<datestamp>.log, I saw what was probably the reason behind the error:
<$ORACLE_HOME>/bin/sqlplus: error while loading shared libraries: libclntsh.so.9.0: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory
I think I remember seeing that the link operation during installation had failed, but I hoped it would be OK. And it possibly would have been, if I'd remembered to specify the destination database Oracle home rather than the SSO MRCA Oracle home when prompted (on the page where it asks for database home and log file path). Perhaps then it would have used the sqlplus binary from the database oracle home, and since that one definitely works, it might have worked. But before I thought of that, I did a workaround; I installed the SSO MRCA on a 32-bit RHEL5 box (using the same directory paths) and copied the shared library files to the 64-bit box's shared library directory via scp as follows:
cd $ORACLE_HOME/lib; scp -pr * oracle@rhel64box:$PWD/
When I re-ran $ORACLE_HOME/runRepca, it then worked without error. Another thing I could have tried is just running runRepca on the 32-bit RHEL5 box, and that probably would have worked too, but it probably would have been a lot slower compared to running it locally on the destination server; it's takes quite a while as it is.
Hope this helps. I'm sure it'll help me if next time I do this I forget what I did before and go searching again ;-)

Metadata Repository Creation Assistant fails with ORA-01119


Hi All,
My DB version is 10.1.0.2 and I've upgraded the same to
10.1.0.4.2
In order to install B2B, I started off by installing the
Metadata Repository Creation Assistant.
After the initial steps, I got the following message:
<h5>
OracleAS RepCA was not able to find the Oracle Text Supplied
Knowledge Base in the database specified. </h5>
<h5>If you are planning to use this repository for installing
OracleAS Portal, you have to install Oracle Text Supplied Knowledge Base.

<h5>

installing OracleAS Portal, you may continue further. Continue? Yes/No?</h5>
I continued with "Yes" and I chose the storage option as
"Regular or Cluster File system". In the next step -<strong>Specify Tablespace
information</strong>, I chose to install it in the C:\ , where there was approx 18GB
of free space. Yet, I encountered the following error:
<h5>

decreasing the size. I further tried using another directory where there was
11GB of free space. It still didn't work.
Please HELP!

Hi Suhas,
Can you please do the following?
1. Please try pointing to C:\b2b.dbf file during installation and see if the installation goes fine or not.

Metadata Repository search doesn't work NW 2004

Hi all,
After system patching Metadata Repository search stoped working, when I start search short dump occurs
"Function parameter "PTEXT" is unknown.
Error in ABAP application program.
The current ABAP program "CL_RSO_REPOSITORY=============CP" had to be
terminated because one of the statements could not be executed.
This is probably due to an error in the ABAP program.
Function module "SUSR_INTERFACE_PROF" was called
with the parameter "PTEXT".
This parameter is not defined."
I tried to find SAP-notes, but was able to find about NW 2004s
NW 2004, Basis 6-40, BW 3.5, SP BW21, SP Basis21
Any help will be appreciated
Thanks in advance,
Elena

Hi Susanne,
unfortunately NO repository is indexed by default so therefore you can not find Room Content before you create an index with the relevant information.
You must create yourself a new index of the repository where Room Content is stored. In EP6 SP2 Patch 5 and higher as well as NW'04 this should be /room_extensions. So add this repository as the Data Source of the index.
After indexing you should be able to perform search of the room content.
Hope this helps,
Robert

How to include BC documentation in the metadata repository

Hi experts,
Currently, my bw 3.5 system doesn't display the business content documentation in the metadata repository, the one available in the help.sap.com sitie.
In the sap documentation is stated:
"To include SAP Content documentation in the online documentation generated for metadata objects, it must be installed in plain html http format for static help and using a Web server. The Content documentation can then be read by the Web server from any front end platform using the http protocol, and displayed in a Web browser.
You can find additional information about maintaining setting variants for online help (transaction SR13) in the Business Information Warehouse Implementation Guide (IMG), under the node General BW Settings ® Settings for Displaying SAP Content Documentation."
however I can figure out how to put the bc documentation in my metadata repository
I execute TC SR13, and has this entry in the PlainHtmlHttp tab:
ONLINE-EN WN32 IWBHELP http://help.sap.com saphelp_nw04/helpdata EN default is ON
I appreciate an step by step solution for my problem
thanks everybody

I dont know if theres a way to do that....
I think is not possibl because if you want to open the web pages of help.sap is requered that your SAP system would have http connection directly to internet and at least by a security issue no recommended.....
Use sap help in web....

Documents in MetaData repository

Hello All,
As part of our systemdocumentation we store technical documents in HTML format with BW objects, like InfoProvider, InfoObject etc. These documents are then visible in the metaData repository. Dose anyone know if it is possible to transport these documents across the system landscape or do we have to upload the documents in every seperate system (dev, QA and PRD) again?
Many thanks
Cerillo Smeets

Hi,
Using the function area Transport Connection in the Administrator Workbench, you can exchange metadata between different systems. You can find additional information under Exchanging Metadata in XMI Format.
Pls go through

Can I install Metadata Repository for 10.1.2.0.2 on Oracle 10.2.0 database

Does any one know if the Metadata Repository of OracleAS 10.1.2.0.2 can be install on an existing Oracle 10.2.0 database ?
The MRCA tool is giving me this message "Oracle Metadata Repository cannot be loaded into this version of the database. Please see the installation guide for more information on supported database versions ...."
Kim

According to the Installation Guide, Oracle9i Release 2 (9.2.x) and Oracle Database 10g Release 1 (10.1.x) are supported. See the following for more specific information:

Metadata Repository mds-adf is not targeted to JMSServer-0?

JDeveloper 11.1.1.4.0, Oracle database 11.2.0.1.0
We're developing an ADF application and I'm trying to activate MDS using the database. I've followed along with docs and this blog post, http://biemond.blogspot.com/2009/07/mds-repository-for-adf-11g.html, run RCU on my database, added Application Development Runtime. When I deploy my application, I get the "Deployment Configuration" dialog box, but when I hit the "Deploy" button, I get his message in a dialog box:
Warning! MDS configuration information appears invalid. Metadata Repository mds-adf is not targeted to JMSServer-0 or JMSServer-0 is a member of a cluster. Deploy anyway?
I hit yes, then I go to Enterprise Manager to see my MDS repository partitions, and I have no partitions found.
Any ideas?
Edited by: Richard Cook on Jul 5, 2011 10:51 AM

On the EM front page, under "Fusion Middleware" I have "Metadata Repositories", with my mds-adf repository there.
Today, there is a repository partition, "idm_V2.0", put clicking on the glasses icon I get "This partition is not being referenced by any application".
My application "idm(V2.0)" is deployed to DefaultServer.

Deregister metadata repository after Internet Directory deleted

I deinstalled Internet Directory before deregistering it from the metadata repository first. Now I want to re-install Internet Directory on the same repository but it says the repository has been registered to an Internet Direcory and doesn't allow me to do that. I cannot deregister or remove the metadata repository because it always asks for the host and port of the Internet Directory, which doesn't exist any more.
Do I need to reinstall the whole database? Anyone has the idea on how to remove the registration information from a metadata repository without referring an Internet Directory?
Thanks a lot.

I had the same issue and here is how I resolved it:
Logged in to the Metadata Repository as the SYS user. Drop user ODS with the cascade option. This will remove the information from the database. In order to rebuild the Metadata Repository, go to $ORACLE_HOME/ldap/admin. You should have a script called newldap.sql. Login to the DB as SYS and run this and this will recreate the parts that where removed therefore giving you a 'cleaned' Metadata Repository.
By the way, this is not recommended by Oracle!!!

Our Metadata Repository database is at version 9.2.0.8. Has anyone seen these errors or had this problem?
The MRUA CD that I have is labelled "Oracle Metadata Repository Upgrade Assistant and Utilities 10g (10.1.2.0.2) for AIX based systems".
But in the errors I see "OracleAS Metadata Repository Upgrade Assistant 10.1.4.0.1". Is something wrong there? Should it say 10.1.2.0.2?
Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Found out from Oracle that the "oracle/sysman/oii/oiio/oiiol/OiiolTextLogger" class is in the $ORACLE_HOME/oui/jlib/OraInstaller.jar file and as per their suggestion added the jar file to the $classpath list of jar files in the mrua.pl script.

Where is the Metadata Repository Stored?

Hi Experts,
I'm sure many of you are familiar with the very useful Metadata Repository in SAP accessible through the workbench. What I've been trying to figure out, however, is where the data used to populate that repository can be found. There must be a method through which the repository is populated for any given object, and it stands to reason that the data is captured in some repository tables.
I need to find those tables so that I can extract some metadata information from them. Specifically, I need to transformation InfoObject Source and InfoObject Target.
Hopefully someone knows SAP well enough to help out!
Thanks in advance!

Business Content and Metadata Repository

Hi
Can any one point me to the right place or if any one know any thing please through some tips on this
What are the benefits of using Business Content?
What is the importance of Metadata repository?
Thanks
Farooq

Hi Syed Farooq,
Business Content is a pre-configured set of information models based on consistent metadata in the SAP BW.
BI Content makes the supply of information available to those roles in an enterprise that require this information to complete their tasks.
BI Content consists of roles, workbooks, queries, InfoProviders, InfoObjects, InfoSources, transformation rules and extractors for SAP systems and any additional applications that have been selected.
There are lot Adv like BW implemention is accrelarated and so on check the link:
http://help.sap.com/saphelp_nw04/helpdata/en/3d/5fb13cd0500255e10000000a114084/frameset.htm
here are some of the load erros which were already discussed in forums..pls go thru them...
Business Content :
SAP Business Information Warehouse delivers pre-configured objects under the collective term Business Content. These objects speed up the implementation of the SAP Business Information Warehouse because they deliver complete solutions for business information requests.
Business Content includes:
· R/3 extractor programs
· DataSources
· Process chains
· InfoObjects
· InfoSources
· Data targets (InfoCubes and ODS objects)
· Variables
· Data mining models
· Queries
· Workbooks
· Crystal Reports
· Web templates
· Roles
Since Business Content are Predelivered we use them , It can reduce considerable amount of time which will be needed if you going for a generic extarction
Hope it helps.

Metadata repository - how find ?

Sorry for my broken english :)
I must describe metadata OWB Repository.
But the problem is that i cant find any boks about that.
I run Enterprise Manager Console, i See many tables, but don;t know
which are for metadata repository use. Maybe someone can gaive some help ?
Maybe it is possible to extract metadata repository only ?
Thanks.

OWB repository tables is not documented publicly by Oracle.
The only method for extraction information about OWB projects structure and execution results is selecting data from OWB public views.
OWB repository public views are located under OWB repository database schema (DB user). For OWB11g this user is OWBSYS, for earlier OWB releases this DB user specified during creation of OWB repository.
If you use OWB11g please read this thread:
Re: How mapping metadata from the OWB repository?

Download BI Metadata Repository

Hi,
when BI Content for certain areas has been activated in the system <b>is there a way to download information from the Metadata Repository into a Word or Excel Document</b> to give an executive at a customer an overview of what is available?
Has anyone done that and knows what's the best way to do that?
Thanks for your help

Expose Metadata Repository for Public Access

All,
Does anyone have experience exposing the active metadata repository for documentation purposes? I am familiar with how the repository works within the BI workbench, searching, navigating, etc, but what I would like to do is to expose the repository structure to the user community so they can find more information about their objects.
An example would be to allow users to browse the metadata repository to discover what the definition of a certain key figure is, such as what is the definition of headcount, or purchase price variance? Ideally they could find what other key figures are used in a calculation, or in a formula.
The metadata repository appears to be a series of generated htm pages, but this information has to be stored somewhere in the database. Does anyone know where? If we can access the tables, then we can build reporting objects off of them and thus expose in BEx. Alternatively, if we can expose the metadata repository itself, could we then publish it in Enterprise Portal??
Any suggestions, advice, or help would be appreciated.
I will award points for useful suggestions.
Thanks in advance
Christopher

Hi Michael,
maybe you have to check if you are running IE 7.0. That can be the problem (it was with me).
So try to uninstall IE 7.0 and try it again.
