How to create ODI Repository on Autonomous Database

Introduction
In my previous blog, I've introduced how to launch an ODI instance from OCI Marketplace. This time I will show you how to create ODI repository (Master/Work) on Autonomous Database.
Validation Environment
ODI Marketplace (12.2.1.4)
Autonomous Data Warehouse
Steps
1. Create an User on Autonomous DB
2. Download ADB wallet file and upload to ODI instance
3. Create a New Master Repository
4. Connect to the Master Repository
5. Create a Work Repository
6. Connect to the Work Repository
Please note this method is NOT applicable to ODI On-P, because saving repository on ADB is not supported for ODI On-P.
1. Create an User on Autonomous DB
Login as admin user, create a new user for ODI repository. (I use SQL Developer for this test.)

Grant "DWROLE"to the user.

Grant "PDB_DBA"to the user with "Admin"option.

Grant unlimited tablespace to the user.

Click "Apply"button to create user.

User created.

Here is the SQL script.

-- USER SQL
CREATE USER "ODI_REPO" IDENTIFIED BY "<Password>"  
DEFAULT TABLESPACE "DATA"
TEMPORARY TABLESPACE "TEMP";

-- QUOTAS
ALTER USER "ODI_REPO" QUOTA UNLIMITED ON "DATA";

-- ROLES
GRANT "PDB_DBA" TO "ODI_REPO" WITH ADMIN OPTION;
GRANT "DWROLE" TO "ODI_REPO" ;

2. Download ADB wallet file and upload to ODI instance
Autonomous Database -> Autonomous Database Details -> DB Connection
Select "Wallet Type", then click "Download wallet"button.

Enter password, then begin to download.

I'll skip the step of uploading wallet to ODI instance. You can do it with any FTP/SSH tool you like. Save the wallet file under /home/oracle/.odi/oracledi/ewallet . (NO need to unzip it.)

[opc@oracle-odi-inst-wc4b ~]$ pwd
/home/opc
[opc@oracle-odi-inst-wc4b ~]$ ls -l Wallet_ADW2021.zip
-rw-rw-r--. 1 opc opc 21617 Nov  5 06:49 Wallet_ADW2021.zip
[opc@oracle-odi-inst-wc4b ~]$ sudo mv Wallet_ADW2021.zip /home/oracle/.odi/oracledi/ewallet/
[opc@oracle-odi-inst-wc4b ~]$ sudo chown oracle:oracle /home/oracle/.odi/oracledi/ewallet/Wallet_ADW2021.zip
[opc@oracle-odi-inst-wc4b ~]$ sudo ls -l /home/oracle/.odi/oracledi/ewallet/Wallet_ADW2021.zip
-rw-rw-r--. 1 oracle oracle 21617 Nov  5 06:49 /home/oracle/.odi/oracledi/ewallet/Wallet_ADW2021.zip
[opc@oracle-odi-inst-wc4b ~]$

3. Create a New Master Repository
Startup ODI Studio, begin to create repo with following steps.
Menu Bar -> File -> New -> Create a New Master Repository

Enter connection information as below:
Item
Comment
Technology
Oracle (Default)
JDBC Driver
oracle.jdbc.OracleDriver (Default)
Use Credential File
Check it
Credential File
Select ADB wallet zip file
Connection Details
Select from <ADB_Name_high>,<ADB_Name_medium>,<ADB_Name_low>Use Http Proxy
Not checked by default. (I'll pass it.)
JDBC URL
No need to edit.
User
Schema of ODI repository
Password
Password of above schema for ODI repository
DBA User
admin
DBA Password
Password of ADB admin user.
Click "Test Connection"to test.

After you get a successful connection, click "Next"button to proceed.

You can choose to use "ODI Authentication"(By default) or "External Authentication".
In the case of "ODI Authentication", you need to create password for "Supervisor User".
After entering required information, then click "Next"to proceed.

You can choose to store password on Internal or External storage. I choose "Internal Password Storage"(By default) for this test.
When "Finish"button is clicked, ODI begins to create master repository.

Creation of master repository takes about 4~5 minutes.

After creating, you'll get information like this.

4. Connect to the Master Repository
Security Tab -> Connect to Repository -> "+"(Plus icon)

Enter connection information as below.
Item
Comment
Login Name
Enter a login name for master repository.
User(ODI Connection)
SUPERVISOR
Password
Enter supervisor's password.
User(DB Connection)
ODI_REPO (You created on STEP-1.)
Password
Enter password of above user "ODI_REPO".
Driver List
Oracle JDBC Driver (Default)
Driver Name
oracle.jdbc.OracleDriver (Default)
Use Credential File
Check it
Credential File
Select ADB wallet zip file.
Connection Details
Select from <ADB_Name_high>,<ADB_Name_medium>,<ADB_Name_low>Use Http Proxy
Not checked by default. (I'll pass it.)
URL
No need to edit.
Master Repository Only
Check it
Click "Test Connection"to test.

When you get a successful connection, click "OK"to exit connection window.

You can store password in secure wallet. I'll pass it.

Confirm login information, then click "OK"to login (To the master repository).

5. Create a Work Repository
Topology Tab -> Repositories -> Work Repositories -> New Work Repository

Connection information is displayed as following by default. Usually, you don't need to edit. After confirmation, click "Test Connection"button to test.

When you get a successful connection, press "Next"button to proceed.

After enter following information, click "Finish"button to begin creating work repository.
Item
Comment
Name
WORKREP1 (By default)
Password
Enter(Create) a password. (No re-input for confirmation.)
Work Repository Type
Select "Development"(By default) or "Execution".

When work repository is created, you can create a new login for it (Press "Yes".)

Enter "Login Name"for work repository.

6. Connect to the Work Repository
Disconnect from master repository. (Designer Tab -> Disconnect)

Designer Tab -> Connect to Repository -> Select Login Name for work repository -> Click Edit icon

Enter supervisor password, select ADB wallet file, then press "Test"button to test connection.

When you get a successful connection, press "OK"to close the connection window.
It took me a little long time to pass this test at first time.

Designer Tab -> Connect to Repository -> Select Login Name for work repository -> Click OK button

Now you're connected to work repository.
