Have got a question, can anyone help clarifying please…
What i’m trying to do is create a repository on a stand alone PC through Supervisor… actually i could do just that by clicking on ‘Admin’ button!, But then i want also to be able to log on to Supervisor(presumably with Supervisor logon ??) and to be able to create users on the ‘repository just created’ so that they can log on Business Object Reporter suite and start developing reports…
The problem i’m facing since is that i do no know the Logon detail i have to use to log on to Supervisor… Since i’m quite new to Administrator stuff, could anyone help me to understand the process of setting up of repository , created users and give access/privilages… or could anyone lead me to discussion thread where this would have already been discussed.
Hope this makes sense… Thanks for your response in advance

you have to setup a database to welcome your repository (access, sql server, oracle, sybase, etc), then first time you launch supervisor, you click admin button and a wizard help you creating a connexion to the previous database (you must know instance name login / pwd) then one time you have setup the connexion to the futur repository db, Bo wizard ask you to create a first “root” user, create the repository tables and log you at supervisor one time it is finished. Here, you can create more supervisors / users
Thanks for the note. As you said i’m trying to define the reposiotry connection and the database i want to use is Oracle which is already installed on the PC. On 32 bit ODBC window I have created a Data source(oracle) using driver Microsoft ODBC for Oracle. But the thing is I do not know which network layer i have to use to see the Data Source i have just created!
Could you please help, i think i’m missing something about Database Engine!
Isn’t there an option for ODBC when you have to specify the DB connection for your repository (it should)? if the ODBC entry was set up correctly in the PC-s odbc manager - you should be able to use it for BO db connections.
Btw, why do you use oracle w ODBC on your box? Since database is already there on the machine - oracle client should be also there. You may gain some speed / stability using that instead of ODBC.
