Repository Troubleshooting

Connecting to a Repository

The following is a list of possible problems you may encounter when attempting to connect to a repository:

Restoring a Corrupt Default Repository

If you are using the default repository, Oracle8i Lite, to create the repository, the omwb_bkup.odb file is a copy of the omwb.odb file. It contains a replica copy of the Migration Workbench repository that resides in omwb.odb. The Migration Workbench only uses the repository residing in the omwb.odb file. However, if the omwb.odb file becomes damaged, you can delete it and make a new copy using the omwb_bkup.odb file. Both files are located in the %ORACLE_HOME%\Omwb\olite directory.

Restoring a Corrupt Repository for Oracle8i or Oracle9i

If you are using the Oracle8i or Oracle9i repository and it becomes corrupt, drop the user than re-create it. It is recommended that you create a user specifically for the migration. This allows you the flexibility of dropping and re-creating users without losing personal files.
