Error in accessing the sample application content from the OBIEE 11g

I installed OBIEE 11g + Oracle 11g database on one machine. Everything went smoothly with no issues.
I can connection to the database from SQLPLUS.
Then I followed instructions to deploy sample app. After everything is done, when I try to access the dashboards, reports etc from the OBIEE 11g home page , I get the error below.
I am stuc kand dont know how to proceed. I verified tnsnames.ora and everything seems good.
In the SampleAPp.RPD, I set DB_SID as "ORCL" and DB_HOST as my computer name (along with domain name). No idea how to proceed from here..
I really appreciate any help.
Odbc driver returned an error (SQLExecDirectW).
Error Codes: OPR4ONWY:U9IM8TAC:OI2DL65P
State: HY000. Code: 10058. [NQODBC] [SQL_STATE: HY000] [nQSError: 10058] A general error has occurred. [nQSError: 43113] Message returned from OBIS. [nQSError: 43119] Query Failed: [nQSError: 17001] Oracle Error code: 12541, message: ORA-12541: TNS:no listener at OCI call OCIServerAttach. [nQSError: 17014] Could not connect to Oracle database. (HY000)
Thanks

Thanks for the replies.
1) Was the oracle installed in multiple instances ? if yes set the Variable path correctly pointing to your right folder
Yes, oracle had multiple instances. I tried copying the tnsnames.ora from my oracle home to the Oracle_BI1/network/admin directory as 11g apparetnly comes with a Oracle client as BIFACTs suggested in his/her reply. I put the same in the path variable
2) Try to ping the service_name tnsping service_name(SID) from command prompt
This works.
3) check whether you may have "white spaces" in tnsnames.ora file at starting of entry
No white spaces appeated
I still see the same issue! I logged in as developer credentials as mentioned the sample app documentation.
I get the same "cannot connect to database" error.
I once in a while see an issue with javahost not starting. Not sure what is the impact of javahsot not running and all the other managed processes running.
Please help....

  • Attn: Installing the Sample Applications from the ifs Development Kit

    There are a number of problems with the sample Applications included in the
    Developer's kit. These need to manually fixed in order to get the demos to work.
    #1: Solaris Only
    The install of the iFS Development Kit, replaces the existing adk.jar with a new
    one containing some additional classes. Unfortunately the install process does not
    set the correct privileges on the new version of adk.jar. Please ensure that the
    file $ORACLE_HOME/ifs/lib/adk.jar is world readable.
    Bug # 1304730
    This issue will be resolved on the next drop of the Oracle Internet File System
    development kit.
    #2: Generic
    There is a problem with the way in which the login.jsp establishes a connection to
    the repository. The current code makes incorrect assumptions about the name of the
    iFS Service and the schema password.
    The following changes are required.
    In order to connect to the repository 4 pieces of information are required.
    1. The iFS User Name
    2. The iFS User's password
    3. The properties file to be used
    4. The database password of the user who owns the iFS Schema
    The Login.jsp needs to be altered so that it requests these four arguments before
    attempting to establish a connection to the repository.
    (The current version only requests username and password).
    All four arguments need to be provided as arguments to the login method on the
    underlying JavaBean that the JSP invokes when it want to open a connection
    to the repository.

    #3. Making the BaseRendererClass available to the Protocol Servers
    Note this step is not required if you have the 1.0.8.3 patch set installed.
    Install the BaseRenderer Class. The BaseRenderer class is delivered in the jar file
    ifsdevkit.jar and can be used to simplify the task of creating a custom renderer.
    Unfortunately the jar file containing this class is not referenced in any of the Classpaths
    used by the iFS protocol servers. This means that they will not be able to load any
    customer renderers that extend BaseRenderer. In order to make BaseRenderer available
    to the Protocol Servers it need to be placed in the appropriate directory under
    <ORACLE_HOME>/ifs/custom_classes.
    Extract the class from the ifsdevkit.jar.
    ifsdevkit.jar is located in <ORACLE_HOME>/ifs/lib after the devkit has been installed.
    jar -xvf ifsdevkit.jar
    extracted: META-INF/MANIFEST.MF
    extracted: BaseRenderer.class
    Create the following directory heirachy in <ORACLE_HOME>/ifs/custom classes
    oracle/ifs/server/renderers
    Copy <ORACLE_HOME>/ifs/lib/BaseRenderer.class to
    <ORACLE_HOME/ifs/custom_classes/oracle/ifs/server/renderers
    That should do it.

  • I am trying to store music for two different iPods on the same computer, against two different Apple IDs. When I try and download content from the Cloud I get an error message?

    I am trying to store music for two different iPods on the same Windows 8 computer, and when I try and download content from the Cloud I get an error message. Is it possible to have two different Apple IDs on the same computer?

    Unfortunately you've discovered too late how important it is to maintain an up-to-date backup of your iTunes library (and all other data of value).  You could, before wiping the drive, have considered making use of a commercial data recovery service that could (albeit at considerable cost) have extracted your library from the hard disk, even if virus infected.
    In the absence of that option, you will need to restore the content of your library from its original sources:
    Depending on your location, you may be able to re-download any iTunes Store purchases that are still available on the Store
    Likewise, most digital purchases from Amazon (including auto-rip copies of purchased CDs) should be available from the Amazon Cloud and via the Amazon Music application - the same may be true of other commercial sources for digital downloads
    Content imported from your CDs will have to imported again
    The specific situation that you describe regarding the music imported from your friend's external HDD suggests that either the source is badly organized and/or originates from a source other than iTunes (other media players may use alternative tags for information like artist, title, album, etc. that are not wholly consistent with how iTunes handle these).  Without details of the issues you're seeing it is difficult to suggest a remedy other than going through the media album-by-album, track-by-track, and correcting the inconsistencies.
    In the absence of a backup or access to the original library data there is no option other than painstakingly recreating your library as described above.  As you do so, you'll now realize how important creating and maintaining backups are - in my case I have at all times three separate duplicates of my library, in two different locations, where none is ever more than a week old compared to the content of my master library.

    This file contains installation instructions for installing the
    Oracle8 ODBC Driver software.
    It is divided into four parts:
    o Part I: Summary of systems supported by Oracle8 ODBC client
    software
    Lists the platforms on which the Oracle8 ODBC Client software can
    be installed.
    o Part II: Oracle8 ODBC Driver software.
    Describes the files, and installation prerequisites for the Oracle8
    ODBC driver software.
    o Part III: Exploding the kit onto your system
    Describes how to explode the kit onto your system hard drive.
    o Part IV: Installation Instructions
    Describes how to install the Oracle8 ODBC driver.
    Part I: Systems supported by the Oracle8 client software
    You can install the ODBC client software on any of the following systems:
    o Windows 2000
    o Windows NT X86
    o Windows 95
    o Windows 98
    The Oracle8 ODBC Driver provides support for ODBC connections
    from Windows 2000, Windows NT, Windows 95, and Windows 98 systems
    to Oracle databases.
    o Part II: Oracle8 ODBC Driver software.
    Refer to the following files for information about the Oracle8 ODBC Driver:
    LICENSE.TXT - Oracle8 ODBC Driver License Agreement. Read carefully
    before installing and/or using this product. Enclosed in
    your software distribution kit.
    SQORA.HLP - A Window's Help file which is the primary reference
              manual for the Oracle8 ODBC Driver.
    ODBCRelnotes.WRI - The release notes for the Oracle8 ODBC Driver
    which contains information which may have not been
    included in the Help file.
    Installation Prerequisites
    See the Oracle8 ODBC Driver release notes (ODBCRelnotes.WRI),
    for a complete list of software products required and their versions.
    Time Required
    The installation of the Oracle8 ODBC Driver takes approximately 5
    minutes. The actual time may be shorter or longer, depending upon
    your hardware configuration.
    Disk Space Required
    The Oracle8 ODBC driver installation requires approximately 2
    megabytes of available storage space. The space required depends upon
    what files you already have installed. The installation procedure
    checks to see if you have enough available disk space. If you do not,
    the installation fails.
    Part III: Exploding the Kit onto your system
    Expand the self-extracting archive file onto your hard drive.
    C:\> ORA8174.EXE
    Part IV: Installation Instructions
    Oracle8 ODBC Driver 8.1.7.4.0
    This section assumes the following:
    1. MS Windows 2000, Windows NT, Windows 95 or Windows 98 is running.
    2. Oracle Universal Installer shipping with 8.1.7 has already been
    installed on your system.
    3. Part III has been completed.
    Software fixes:
    Refer to release notes (ODBCRelnotes.wri) for a complete list of
    Software fixes.
    Installation Instructions
    Once the self-extracting archive file ORA8174.EXE has been
    exploded it will create an installable directory structure
    onto your hard drive. Run the Oracle Universal Installer from
    your local drive.
    1. On the screen "File Locations" use the "Browse" button of
    the source path to choose the file 'products.jar' from the
    folder that ORA8174.EXE was extracted to. Choose 'Next'.
    2. You will receive a warning that some of the dependencies of
    this product are not found in the staging area. This warning
    is OK. The ODBC driver depends on the Net8 Client being already
    installed on the system. Answer 'Yes' to continue.

  • You can't access your own content from the top menu anymore?

    Apple made a monumental FAIL decision for me regarding the new Apple TV.
    They really want to force feed their iTunes store to us so badly that they have now stripped all of your own content from the main menu.
    No longer can you go to TV Shows and watch... well, YOUR TV shows. Apple buried all of your personal content a couple of menus deep. In fact, the entire Music category is Now gone! Unbelievable!
    And I can't use album covers for a screen saver anymore? That was a great feature! i guess they don't want music associated with a TV device. Very bad decision in my opinion.
    This unit is a step BACK, not forward.
    Am is missing something? is there a way to get this content back to the front so I can easily access my stuff?

    You are not going to be able to run your old system from the backup on this old computer as the hardware is incompatible.
    You need to get a new computer or a refurbished one.

    I havent create new token values.
    Edited by: C@rlitos on Sep 30, 2009 6:14 PMHave you configured your Infra with a new hostname on a different port ?
    Unless, you had installed your OAS with custom ports, and have not used the default ports for the components, your lsnr_token for the newurl has a problem. orasso and sso should be configured at 7777, and by default they configure at that port. That means that your newURL should be pointing to http://newurl.com:7777/pls/orasso/orasso.wwsso_app_admin.ls_login for the ls_login_url.
    This might have happened due to some error in registering your portal with the SSO. Have you used custom ports for your installations?
    Additionally, did you configure your newurl on port 80?
