Creating Master and Work Repository
This tutorial explain how to create Master and Work Repository in Unix and windows environment with
Oracle 11g with ODI_MASTER and ODI_WORK defined as Master and Work Repository .Please change the
parameter for your environment and database
Oracle recommends creating „snpm‟ and „snpw‟ for Master and Work Repository. I intend to use
ODI_MASTER and ODI_WORK as it makes it easy and sense when any one looks into it.
After Oracle Data Integrator ( ODI) Installation, create these schemas as follows namely.
SCHEMA NAME PASSWORD DESCRIPTION
ODI_MASTER ODI_MASTER Schema to Install the Master Repository
ODI_WORK ODI_WORK Schema to Install the Work Repository
WORK_SCHEMA WORK_SCHEMA Schema to be used as Work schema for all the Oracle Connection
Use the following Codes to create the required schema, attached the required tablespace as per
your requirement for home or testing environment dont worry about the Tablespace.
CREATE USER ODI_MASTER IDENTIFIED BY ODI_MASTER;
GRANT CONNECT,RESOURCE TO ODI_MASTER;
CREATE USER ODI_WORK IDENTIFIED BY ODI_WORK;
GRANT CONNECT,RESOURCE TO ODI_WORK;
CREATE USER WORK_SCHEMA IDENTIFIED BY WORK_SCHEMA;
GRANT CONNECT,RESOURCE TO WORK_SCHEMA;
CREATE USER ODI_MASTER IDENTIFIED BY ODI_MASTER;
GRANT CONNECT,RESOURCE TO ODI_MASTER;
CREATE USER ODI_WORK IDENTIFIED BY ODI_WORK;
GRANT CONNECT,RESOURCE TO ODI_WORK;
CREATE USER WORK_SCHEMA IDENTIFIED BY WORK_SCHEMA;
GRANT CONNECT,RESOURCE TO WORK_SCHEMA;
In UNIX environment please use the following environment variables to connect to the ODI Installed
Folder
export ODI_HOME=/home/oracle/OraHome/oracledi
export ODI_JAVA_HOME=/home/oracle/OraHome/jre/1.4.2
export PATH=$PATH:$ODI_HOME/bin
cd /home/oracle/OraHome/oracledi/bin

[Note: Please change your HOME PATH i.e /home/oracle to your installed directory where ODI is
installed ( as it is for me ) ]
Creating Master Repository
In Windows Go the Following path as shows in the above image or you can call the ” REPCREATE.BAT ” in
windows from the cmd prompt or ” ./repcreate.sh ”
in UNIX environment from „ oracledi/bin „ folder

Enter the required information to create the Master Repository.
User – Username to connect to the database, for my example I am using
“ODI_MASTER”
Pass – Password for the particular above mentioned user.
Id – Give any number from 0 -50
Password –for my example its ODI_MASTER
Technology – Use the technology you are using above to connect, for my example
I am selecting Oracle.
Driver : Click and select your respective technology jdbc driver , for my example its „ oracle „ so I am
using
Oracle.jdbc.driver.oracleDriver
You can learn about each driver in Description as you scroll through all the drives listed there .
URL : Enter the corresponding url for respective driver technology , for my example iam using „
localhost.localdomain:1521:orcl „
host address – localhost.localdomain
port – 1521

Sid – ORCL
Change your parameters depending on your environment.
To learn about url see Description in the image.
Final click on Test connection, if every parameter is correct it will show Successful message.
Click on and Master Repository will be created .

Logging into Topology Manager
Now type „ ./topology.sh „ or „ TOPOLOGY.BAT „ in the oracldi/bin directory or point to the icon of the
Topology as show in the image.
To login into Topology Manager and you will see a similar screen , click on new shown below
Type in the required parameters , generally the parameters are same as above
For me (oracle ) its like this

For Oracle Data Integrator Connection
Give a login name i.e a name for your Repository, you can give any meaningful description eg
development, testing etc.
USER – SUPERVISOR
PASSWORD – SUNOPSIS
[ ** Please use capital alphabets , they are case sensitive ***]
For Database Connection (Master Repository)
Use the same User and password that you have used while creating Master Repository as discussed
above while creating master repository .
Finally click Test to test the connection .Click ok and type again ./topology.sh
After logging in, select your login name and click ok.

Now you will logged in the Topology Manager , go to fifth tab i.e Repositories and you will see
Master and Work Repositories as shown below.

Creating Work Repository
Right Click on Work Repositories and click on “Insert Work Repository”
You will see a Data Server , as shown below ,
Name : Name for your Work repository , it can be anything
Technology : Technology you are using to connect , for my example its Oracle
User : Username for the database ( ODI_WORK)
Password : Password for the particular above mentioned user
Let the other default parameters be as it is .

Click on Test to test the connection .
Click yes and if everything is correct you will see
Else connection failed , if failed please check your parameters.
Finally a window will pop up , enter the
ID for the Work Repository and the meaningful Work Repository Name to it.

Connecting to the Designer.
Now we are going to connect to the above Work repository and do our development.
Type in the terminal ./designer.sh
or
designer.bat
Click on New and type in the following parameters
Enter the same information and the only thing new is Repository Name type in the above work
repository if you remember, else click on this icon under Work Repository box.
You will see a list of the Work Repository you created

13. PREPARED BY RAVI KUMAR LANKE Page 13
Select and click ok
Test the connection , if everything is fine you will have successful connection
Later select your new Login Repository creates above and automatically username and password will be
entered.
Click ok and you will log into the Designer to create your First interface.
