Aim

Create a Repository Service.


Restore BI Apps Repository ( to database schema where Repository service points).
Create Integration Service.
Point Integration Service to the Repository Service created above.

Step -1 : Create Informatica Repository Service

Ensure Informatica 9.0.1. Service is turned ON : Start > Program Files > Informatica 9.0.1 > Server > Start Informatica Services
Log in to Informatica using Administrator username and password.

Enable the repository Service as shown above.

Step-2 : Restore Contents to Informatica Repository Service

Restore Contents on to the repository Service. The contents are nothing but the OBI Apps Informatica mappings in form of a file.

To do this first copy the Informatica repository files (Oracle_BI_DW_Base.rep and Oracle_BI_DW_Teradata.rep) from
D:\obiee11g\Oracle_BI1\biapps\dwrep\Informatica\Repository to
D:\Informatica\9.0.1\server\infa_shared\Backup

In the repository service, click Actions > Repository Contents > Restore

Select Repository Service created in Step 1. Provide Infa Admin Username/Password. Click Finish.(The one used for logging on to
Informatica Administrator page)

Make sure to Start the Integration Service after this step. If the Integration Service fails to start, Change the Repository Service to Normal
Mode (if it is in ExclusiveMode),log off from Informatica Admin Console page and restart Informatica services from Start>
run>services.msc

Check that both services are up from Domains Page.

Step-4 : Verify that Repository Mappings are accessible

Go to Start>Programs>Informatica>Client>informative PowerCenter Client>PowerCenter Designer

Got to Respository>Add

Provide the Repository Service Name (created earlier) and Admin username

http://www.adivaconsulting.com/blog-bi-apps/item/119-obi-applications-7964-configuration.html 6/30

DAC 10.1.3.4.1 Setup

Aim

Restore BI Apps Containers


Configure Connections
Setup DAC Server
Configure Datawarehouse

Step-1 : Configure DAC Client connection

http://www.adivaconsulting.com/blog-bi-apps/item/119-obi-applications-7964-configuration.html 8/30
9/4/2014 OBIA 7.9.6.4 Configuration - DAC, Informatica & OBIEE

Launch DAC client from Start>Program Files>Datawarehouse Administration Console> Client or navigate to
D:\DAC\10gR3_1\bifoundation\dac\startclient.bat (in a typical installation this is the path)
Click on Configure

Select Create Connection and click Next

http://www.adivaconsulting.com/blog-bi-apps/item/119-obi-applications-7964-configuration.html 9/30
9/4/2014 OBIA 7.9.6.4 Configuration - DAC, Informatica & OBIEE

Provide Connection Name, Connection Type and other database details. Leave DB Driver and DB URL blank. To provide username and
password, we need to create an Authentication File. Click on the Tick icon next to Authentication File

Then select Create Authentication File. This file will store the DAC schema username and password.

http://www.adivaconsulting.com/blog-bi-apps/item/119-obi-applications-7964-configuration.html 10/30
9/4/2014 OBIA 7.9.6.4 Configuration - DAC, Informatica & OBIEE

9/4/2014 OBIA 7.9.6.4 Configuration - DAC, Informatica & OBIEE

Test the connection. If the connection fails, its most likely due to :

Drivers not available in D:\DAC\10gR3_1\bifoundation\dac\lib. To fix this copy all .jar files from from $ORACLE_HOME\jdbc\lib to the
above mentioned DAC Library path. This is an important step.
TNS not accessible or password not right, check again.

Connection Configuration is now complete.

Step-2 : Restore DAC containers provided by Oracle BI apps product

Log in to the DAC using the Administrator username and password configured earlier.

http://www.adivaconsulting.com/blog-bi-apps/item/119-obi-applications-7964-configuration.html 12/30

This screen asks for creation DAC repository tables and the the tablespace for DAC metadata tables (starts with W_ETL%). Tablespace
name needs to be filled in. This can be same as the tablespace used for Informatica Domain and Repository Service. Reason being
these schemas don’t grow much.

Next, provide the Administrator user account password and reconfirm that.

http://www.adivaconsulting.com/blog-bi-apps/item/119-obi-applications-7964-configuration.html 13/30

Always say yes to Analyze tables for DAC repository. This makes sure indices are rebuilt and table statistics are gathered.

This is how the DAC client will look when login is done for the first time.

Step-3 : Importing DAC metadata to DAC repositiry

We need to import DAC metadata for Source specific containers provided by BI Apps installer The metadata ius present in
<OBIEE_HOME>/OraclelBI\dwrep\DAC_metadata\DAC_Client\export . Copy paste that to dac\export as a precursor to this step.
Go to Tools>DAC Repository management>Import
