Does Discoverer 4 work with Oracle 8.1.6?

I have a disk for Installing Oracle discoverer 4.1.37 which I need to work with Orcale 8.1.6. When installing I am not permitted to use my Ora81 home as this is already been used by Oracle 8.1.6 production. Does this mean that I need Oracle 9i to use discoverer 4? Is there a version of discoverer available that works over 8.1.6.

As far as I know, Dirk-Jan is correct. Discoverer uses the 'old' Oracle home structure, where 8i uses the new 'multiple home' structure. As far as I know, you will probably need to create at least an empty old-style home first, then install the database if you are going to install any products that require the old home, because by design it must be installed first. I think it is probably possible to mess around with the registry entries and switch which one it thinks was installed first, but I normally don't like playing around inside the registry that much. If you have another server, you could install the Discoverer server there, or use the workstation version. It works fine with 8.1.6 and 8.1.7.
For that reason, we almost always install a 'stub' old home, even if it just contains an old installer entry, before we install things with new homes, just in case we need to install something that needs it.
If Oracle has a more intelligent way of working that out, I wish somebody would post something, because it really is annoying sometimes.

  • Does INNER JOIN work with Oracle 8i ? (ORA-00933)

    hi,
    I try to execute the sql:

    Does INNER JOIN work with Oracle 8i ?
    thanks.

    INNER JOIN syntax is introduced in 9i, it does not exists in 8i. You can rewrite your statement:
    SELECT
    A0.FULL_NAME,A0.MANAGER_ID,A0.DEPT_NO,A0.TOP_DEPT
    FROM
    HR_ORG A0
    , HR_EMP A1
    WHERE
    A0.MANAGER_ID=A1.EMP_NO
    AND
    A1.NAME = 'michael'

  • Does iSetup up work with Oracle General Ledger R12

    Hello All,
    Please forgive my ignorance if I'm asking a dumb question. I have been tasked with loading metadata into Oracle GL R12. I was told to research iSetup. It seems as though it works with E-Business Suite. I don't believe that is the same as GL, is it? If anyone knows how to load metadata to Oracle GL that would be great too, but I'll look for the GL R12 forum to ask that questions.
    Sorry for the lame question.
    -Scott

    Hi,
    It works, of course, and that is the whole purpose of iSetup. You have to assign 'iSetup' responsibility to the EBS user and you can start using the iSetup. For more information, you can refer the user guide located here.

  • Does Informatica 7.1 work with Oracle 10g?

    Hi All,
    I have Oracle 10g (10.2.0.1.0) and I just installed Informatica 7.1. While creating a new repository in Informatica Repository Admin Console, I am getting error as:
    "Unable to create the repository content. Make sure that the database connection and the license keys are correct. Check the activity log for more details."
    I confirmed that the license keys are correct. The database connection is also good as I could connect using the same username/password in SQLPlus. The activity log says:

    I did not change anything manually,as it says in the warning. I have no idea what the error says.
    My friend has Oracle 9i and he do not get any error like this. So does Informatica 7.1 works with Oracle 10g ?
    Please help.

    Hi,
    I found that with Oracle 10g you have to grant all DBA privileges to the repository user. This is not needed in Oracle 9i. Thats why I was getting error.
    Now it works fine.
    Thanks!

  • Does ORACLE functions work with Oracle Database 10G

    Hi,
    I am wondering if ORACLE functions work with Oracle Database 10G or is it mandatory to use OCI functions?
    Thanks in advance!

    I was able to run a simple query with ora_* functions using 10g on Windows.
    The Oracle OCI calls used by PHP's ora extension still exist in the Oracle 10g libraries
    But I cannot recommend this obsolete extension.

  • Is there any enterprise class PHP framework that works with Oracle ?

    Hi everyone,
    I am investigating the possibility of using some kind of PHP framework that will help develop enterprise class web applications. -- something similar to Oracle's ADF for Java --
    I have spend the last two weeks working with symfony which appears to be very attractive but does now work with Oracle. (Well at least I haven't been able to make it work).
    So my question is what are you people using? I mean you can't go around witting PHP scripts that display HTML tables with embedded echo's in them, each time you want to display the results of a query...
    Thanks in advance

    There is Cake, but I have no experience. I wrote an article about Symfony, after I was tasked with maintaining a PHP application written with Symfony. A colleague has left the company and the application was given to me. Since then, I have left the company, so I am no longer in such close contact to PHP frameworks. The information about Cake can be found at http://cakephp.org. I have no experience whatsoever with it.

    I came to know about OWB and OBIEE, but not sure what exactly these are ?

    In order to create and develop a webcenter portal application, you only need to install JDeveloper and download the WeBCenter extensions. That's true.
    But this install does not include the WebCenter services like dicussions, document services, analytics,... If you want to use these and integrate them in your portal, then you would need to install the suite as described on my blog.

    does creative clould work with windows 8?. I see windows 7 as a minimum requirement with no mention of windows 8

    lewis0,
    Welcome to Adobe Community .
    Minimum requirements means that you have to have these as the minimum configuration to install the Adobe Products . You can surely go ahead and install the product on a windows 8 PC and it should work fine.

    Hello,
    I previously work with oracle 10gXE and Oracle BI publisher 10g and it work fine. now i install oracle 11g XE and try to configure it with oracle Bi Publlisher, it show this error
    "ORA-29273: HTTP request failed ORA-06512: at "SYS.UTL_HTTP", line 1324 ORA-12570: TNS:packet reader failure" after runing the ACL package to neable network service.
    on the database.
    Please can any body tell be why this is not working. Tanx.

    You'll need to add the apex engine owner to the ACL (Access Control List). Depending on your version of apex the user name varies. i.e. 4.0 is APEX_040000
    See Joel's blog for info about the ACL and APEX.

    I have a Phillips tv and there is no hdmi to hdmi connection. But there is a VGA 15 input. Does apple tv work with it? I seem to be getting a black screen.

    I tried hard. Four different manufacturers, including Belkin, none of HDMI to VGA works with rMBP. However, all of them work with other sources, like Dell notebook.
    HDMI directly from rMBP to HDMI intput works fine.

    does apple tv work with my ee smartbox router

    Doubtful.
    What allows for streaming content from an iPad to a television thru an Apple TV is Apple software included with iOS on the iPad and the Apple TV software. Unless there is a 3rd party android app that provides for this, no.
