Discoverer 3.1.x Install on NT with Personal Oracle 8i

Can Discoverer 3.1.x be installed on a Windows NT machine that already has Personal Oracle 8i (8.1.6) installed on it? If so, how?
The Discoverer Installer posts some contradictory error messages when I try to do this.
First, if I try to install Discoverer to a separate ORACLE_HOME, the Installer tells me that the Installer does not support multiple installations and that Discoverer must be installed in the same ORACLE_HOME as the existing Oracle8i.
But when I rerun the installation trying to use the existing Oracle8i ORACLE_HOME, the Installer tells me that this ORACLE_HOME directory is already being used for "Oracle 816 Production" and that "It cannot be used as an Oracle home for 'nt'".
This is an odd contradiction. IMHO, it seems that Discoverer and Personal Oracle 8i would be a rather natural pairing, and that Oracle Corp would be interesting in having these 2 products be able to co-exist on the same machine.
The Install.wri notes (July99) do indicate that Discoverer 3.1 cannot be installed on the same machine as Personal Oracle 8.0.3 but can be installed alongside 8.0.4. Also, in another posting (http://technet.oracle.com:89/ubb/Forum16/HTML/000117.html) in this Discussion Group, it would appear that Discoverer 3.1 can be installed with Oracle 8i, but how?
(As a footnote: I would definitely prefer to install Discoverer into a separate ORACLE_HOME from the Oracle server.)
Thanks for any clarity on this situation.

Hello Jerry:
There are two possible ways to deal with this issue:
1. Install Discoverer into the first (Default) Oracle_Home on your machine.
2. Install the RDBMS into another ORACLE_HOME.
Discoverer cannot be installed into a non Default Oracle_HOME.
Also...
In this scenario you can do the following.
In the Oracle Installer you write DEFAULT_HOME in the NAME field and the you enter a directory different from the one Oracle8i is installed in. In many cases this does the trick. But you can get into a scenario where you still gets the errors message. In this case you exit the installer, starts a Dos Prompt and enter regedit, to edit the registry. Here you
find the key
\\HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Oracle\ALL_HOMES\DEFAULT_HOME. You change the value of this key to DEFAULT_HOME and then start the installation again.
I hope this helps.

Has anyone experience with personal oracle on a lone machine?

I keep changing configurations around trying to connect with personal oracle running on my own machine. Right now, EasyConfig doesnt like any of the service_names I give it and gives me ORA-12514. Please post or e-mail me. Thanks

According to the information on this page the required Aircard 580 card is NOT compatible with any version of the Mac OS. Which is really odd since the banner across the top of the page proclaims "wireless, mobile web access for your mac". Perhaps they intend for you to buy a compatible phone and use Bluetooth connectivity to allow the phone to act as a modem for your Mac.
The built-in wireless of your Mac does not allow you to connect directly to cellular networks like BlueMobility.
After some more digging... I found this page which supposedly lists the Mac compatible options.

Which Forms version works with Personal Oracle 8i

Can any one let me know which version of Forms/Developer works with Personal Oracle 8i (8.1.7)? The OS that I have Personal Oracle 8i is Windows 2000. Also is the Forms/Developer version that goes with this available for download? If yes, where?
Thanks in advance,
Aruna.

you can use forms/reports developer 6i (for client/server and web) against 8.1.7 P.E. on windows 2000. I tested this configuration in the past and it worked fine. You can download the forms/reports developer 6i from OTN (from the forms download page).

Problems with Personal Oracle Instal on WinME

Hi,
Can someone throw some light on this, please?
I am trying to install Personal Oracle on a machine running ME.
When I use Personal Oracle for '98, it stops with a message about the paths to Source and Destination of the software. I checked many times about the availability of the directories, but it does not go forward. I tried the JREW = ... in the COMPATIBILITY95 section of the WIN.INI without success.
When I try to install Personal Oracle for Win2K, it apparently installs the EE, and tries to configure the network. Here it asks for the name of the host. When the server and the client are to be on the same machine, what is the need for a network connection?
That aside, what is the correct version to install on a ME machine? Are there any work-arounds for these problems?
Any help is appreciated.
Thanks,
[email protected]

I have the same problem in ME

Download times out after 3 hours or so when using a 256k ADSL line (23KB/sec). Can I get the same download via FTP? Or in smaller chunks?
Many thanks in advance

The OCI drivers require a client-side DLL in order to work. I believe it also needs some of SQL*Net. The client-side DLL is available with the Oracle Client software distribution.
You need to install the Oracle Client software that matches the version of the JDBC drivers you are using on the machine where you are trying to make the connection (the client).
If you are using the ORacle 8.1.5 JDBC drivers, you need the ORacle 8.1.5 Client software (regardless of what version of the database you are connecting to). Check the Paths tab in your project properties to see what version of the drivers you are using. By default it is 8.1.5 with JDev 2 and 3.0.
If you want to use a different version of the JDBC drivers, make sure to see the online help for switching driver versions.

Installing EM agents with multiple oracle owners

Hi
I am planning to install and configure EM Grid Control in my environment. How many agents do I need to configure if I have several oracle software owners on a server e.g.
server1:
- oracle9 for Oracle 9i database
- oracle10 for Oracle 10gR1 database
- oracle102 for Oracle 10gR2 database
server2:
- ora1 for Oracle 9i DB
- ora2 for Oracle 9i DB
- ora3 for Oracle 10gR2 DB
Do I have to install 3 agents on each server (agent per Oracle software owner) or do I have to install only 1 agent per server?
Regards,
Jarek

Hi
there is no central inventory. We are modifying it for every Oracle installation. Therefore we have several /var/opt/oracle/oraInst.loc* files. There is one file per Oracle OS user. So it is as I wrote - each installation has its own inventory in:
/oracle/app/<ORACLE_SID>/oraInventory location
BTW. It's HP-UX and oraInst.loc is in /var/opt/oracle/ directory.

Installation of developer 6.0 on win95 with personal oracle 8

I tried your advice, unfortunately it still does not work. Curiously, I get the error "Unable to connect to destination" not "Cannot resolve name".
It seems as if it can read tnsnames.ora, but cannot connect to the database??? One thing that is unusual (i think) is that when I installed Developer 6.0 from the CD,
the Net8 Configuration assistant was never launched. I've heard from several people that
it should be launched after installlation. I'm working with a CD-ROM from a textbook titled
"Oracle Developer Starter Kit" which claims to be the complete Oracle Developer-Developer Server Release 6.0 product!
Does anybody know if the installion of Developer 6i includes configuration by Net8 assistant???
Still trying> Thanks for your help.

Difficulties connecting with oci8 to Personal Oracle 8 on Win98

After looking through responses to other similar difficulties posted, I still can't seem to get this working.
I have Personal Oracle 8 running on Win98 on a laptop. I'm using Sun jdk117 and trying to connect with oci8 because the thin driver won't work without a TCP/IP listener which I understand Personal Oracle doesn't support.
There's an entry in my PATH pointing to c:\jdbc where the oci805jdbc.dll file is, and an entry in CLASSPATH pointing to c:\jdbc\classes111.zip .
To start with I'm using a simple connect program which shouldn't do much more than make a connection and close it again (please see below).
The program compiles fine, but when I run it all I get is:
C:\apache\jserv11b3\servlets>java connect2
in main()
connect instantiated
in tryconnect()
going to attempt connect
java.lang.UnsatisfiedLinkError: no oci805jdbc in shared library path
at java.lang.Runtime.loadLibrary(Compiled Code)
at java.lang.System.loadLibrary(System.java:561)
at oracle.jdbc.oci7.OCIDBAccess.logon(OCIDBAccess.java:186)
at oracle.jdbc.driver.OracleConnection.<init>(OracleConnection.java:127)
at oracle.jdbc.driver.OracleDriver.getConnectionInstance(OracleDriver.ja
va:170)
at oracle.jdbc.driver.OracleDriver.connect(OracleDriver.java:148)
at java.sql.DriverManager.getConnection(Compiled Code)

at connect2.tryconnect(connect2.java:19)
at connect2.main(connect2.java:42)
C:\apache\jserv11b3\servlets>
I can't see any reason why there should be problems linking oci805jdbc.dll as PATH definitely has an entry pointing to the directory where it is located.
Doubtless I'm doing something silly, or I'm missing some essential configuration parameter.
Thanks for any helpful suggestions.
program code:
import java.sql.*;
class connect2
public int tryconnect()
throws ClassNotFoundException , SQLException
System.out.println("in tryconnect()");
/* Load the Oracle Driver */
Class.forName ("oracle.jdbc.driver.OracleDriver");
System.out.println ("going to attempt connect");
try
/* get the connection */
Connection conn =
DriverManager.getConnection("jdbc racle ci8:@laptop:1521:ORCL", "system", "manager");
catch (SQLException e)
System.out.println ("Database Connect Failed");
System.out.println (e.getMessage());
return (1) ;
return (0);
public static void main(String argv[])
throws ClassNotFoundException , SQLException
System.out.println ("in main()");
/* Create the instance */
connect2 c = new connect2();
System.out.println ("connect instantiated");
/* Call the tryconnect. Returns 0 if success , 1 if failed */
int Csuccess = c.tryconnect();
if (Csuccess == 0 )
System.out.println("Successfully Connected");
null

Thanks for your kind response.
I'll have a look through the docs and see if I can find out how to get the TCP/IP listener running with Personal Oracle.
I've been trying to use oci805jdbc.dll from the jdbc80520-nt.zip download file.
Since the original post I've been trying to get the connection working with the Sun JDBC-ODBC bridge, but all I get is:
C:\apache\jserv11b3\servlets>java connect2
in main()
connect instantiated
in tryconnect()
going to attempt connect
Database Connect Failed
[Microsoft][ODBC Driver Manager] Data source name not found and no default drive
r specified
The java code is identical apart from:
Class.forName ("sun.jdbc.odbc.JdbcOdbcDriver");
and
Connection conn =
DriverManager.getConnection("jdbc dbc:LAPTOP;database=ORCL", "system", "manager");
The relevant entry in tnsnames.ora is:
LAPTOP.WORLD =
(DESCRIPTION =
(ADDRESS = (PROTOCOL = BEQ)(PROGRAM = oracle80)(ARGV0 = oracle80ORCL)(ARGS = '(DESCRIPTION=(LOCAL=YES)(ADDRESS=(PROTOCOL=BEQ)))'))
(CONNECT_DATA =

Discoverer Plus associate with the Oracle Application Server Infrastructure

Hi Everyone,
I just install the Oracle BI (v 10.1.2.0.2) into my 2003 server so I could use the Discoverer Plus and Viewer. This is a stand alone BI installation (I guess, I have little knowledge about Discoverer plus or Oracle AS).
My question is how could I connect the Discoverer plus to my ODS database, so I could create report or view report.
and where to find the Oracle Application Server Infrastructure (or How do I know I have the Oracle Application Server Infrastructure?)
I read the Oracle BI Discoverer Configuration Guide, and it tell me to associate the Oracle BI with the Oracle Application Server Infrastructure to deploy the Discoverer. so I went to the BI Application Server Control page, the Infrastructure section, the Identity Management to configure the Internet Directory, so I could I have the public connection, but it didn't work.
Also do I real need the Oracle AS Infrastructure to make the Discoverer Plus work?
Thanks in advance
Kevin C
Kevin
Edited by: cmingl on Feb 11, 2010 1:30 PM

Hi Kevin,
Oracle AS Infrastructure is needed only if you are implementing SSO for Discoverer or using Public connection .
Else only Oracle AS Middle tier is sufficient to work with Discoverer Plus .
Regarding "how could I connect the Discoverer plus to my ODS database, so I could create report or view report"
You need to create the End User Layer (EUL) and then grant privilege to the EUL to users who will be creating the report .
Thanks,
Sutirtha
