Howto configure Oracle Express?

Hello,
I downloaded Oracle Express 10 for Linux to evaluate a bit how orcale dbs behave since one of our target customers wants to use our product in conjunction with oracle.
I installed the RPM, ran "oracle-ex configure" and set passwords and the html ports and so on.
However I am not able to reach the administration-gui the documentation talks all the time about.
I configured that the html-server should listen to port 8080 (default) but "localhost:8080" does not work. According to "ps" the oracle processes are running...
Any hints would be really appreciated.
Thank you in advance, lg Clemens Eisserer

Thanks a lot for your help and sorry for posting at the wrong location.
I do not want to cross-post so I'll start using the XE forums for new topics, hope this is ok.
The output doesn't look that successful as yours:

Oracle Express Server v.6.3.1.0 installation problem

I downloaded oes6301nt.exe - Oracle Express Server - NT (118MB) from the Oracle web site, unzipped it and start using Universal Installer to install it for stage/product.jar. I specified Oracle Home as OraExpress81 and path as F:\Oracle Express\olap and chose a typical installation.
At about 98% completion, I got an error: Invalid Search Spec or no DLLs found F:\Oracle*.dll on a error meassge box with an OK button. I clicked the OK button and the installation went to 100% and gave me a message "The installatio of Oracle Express Server was successful. I then re-booted the machine.
But when I tried to run the Express Instance Manager, it wouldn't start. It just blinked for 5 sec then quited.
I checked the programs, the installed programs are:
Program -> OracleExpress81 ->Application Development ->INTYPE File Assistant
NetWork Administration -> Net8 Assistant
Net8 Configuration Assistant
Net8 Easy Config
Express Instance Manger
Express Server 6.3.0 -> Express Instance Manager
Express Language reference
Could you please tell me what could probably be wrong with the installation. Thanks for your help in advance.

Oracle Express 6.3.4 on Win2K Install bug

Downloaded Oracle Express Server 6.3.4 build on Technet. It says its a Maintenance Release, but it needs some fixing itself. The release when 'Typical' installed on clean Win 2K with Oracle 9iR2 and OWB9i, skipping Oracle HTTP server configure, single Oracle_Home, installs successfully. But on rebooting the server, returns a scary entry point message in orb_r.dll, and Oracle Express Service fails to start. When you deinstall Oracle Express, it screws up PATH variable, throwing some apache.exe error, and Oracle HTTP server service not starting. Got the HTTP service going by modifying the oracle_apache.conf, and commenting the modose line. Reinstalling Oracle Express results in same orb_r.dll error. The orb_r.dll is probably some visibroker dll, and is 3.86MB in size, and dated 4/18/2001. Typical, as well as Complete Install, both result in same error.
And this is after I tried installing the OES 6.3.2. The 6.3.2 build when extracted into a new folder under C:, creates the Setup.exe program, but the program refused to run when double clicked. 6.3.2 never installed, and 6.3.4 doesnt work. Anyone...
Thanks,
Steve

Connect Toad freeware with Oracle express Edition, How?

Hello,
Although I know that people will raise the question this is Oracle and use SQL developer... Ok I do that and that is working fine. But on my work they work with TOAD so I like to work with TOAD as well and I want get some knowledge about Toad, TNSNAMES etc.
I've put the issue on TOAD forum as well, but till now I don't have received an answer.
I want to teach/learn myself Oracle by working with the Oracle express edition. I have downloaded the SQL Developer and I can work with it, which means I can create a connection.
Errors when I try to work with TOAD are:
If i try to make a connection:
- "No valid clients found. You need at least one 64-bit client properly configured"
If I click on TNSNames editor:
- Access violation in address xxxxxxx at module TOAD.exe"
I have installed oracle at D:\ORACLE_HOME. In this directory is also a TNSNAMES.ORA file.
I have installed the express edition with the installer. I have first installed the Oracle express edition and later TOAD.
I'm working on my local machine with:
- windows 7 Home
- Oracle 32 bit client:
- Oracle Database 11g Express Edition Release 11.2.0.2.0 - Production
- PL/SQL Release 11.2.0.2.0 - Production
- "CORE 11.2.0.2.0 Production"
- TNS for 32-bit Windows: Version 11.2.0.2.0 - Production
- NLSRTL Version 11.2.0.2.0 - Production
- TOAD 64-bit freeware.
*Questions:*
*- Are there certain environment variables necessary? Does TOAD expect Oracle at a certain directory?*
*- Is it necessary to add something to the PATH environment variable?*
*- 32-bit Oracle client will working with the 64-bit TOAD freeware?*

Errors when I try to work with TOAD are:What version toad? Is it 11.6 x64?
If i try to make a connection:
- "No valid clients found. You need at least one 64-bit client properly configured"Listen to that message. A 64-bit program requires 64-bit libraries.
I have installed the express edition with the installer. I have first installed the Oracle express edition and later TOAD.
I'm working on my local machine with:
- windows 7 HomeHome editions are not supported, sorry.
- Oracle 32 bit client:What is it - Client or Server?
- Oracle Database 11g Express Edition Release 11.2.0.2.0 - Production>
- TOAD 64-bit freeware.Perhaps easiest way out is to remove 64-bit Toad and install the 32-bit one instead.
>
Questions:
- Are there certain environment variables necessary? Does TOAD expect Oracle at a certain directory?
- Is it necessary to add something to the PATH environment variable?
- 32-bit Oracle client will working with the 64-bit TOAD freeware?
All these should be directed elsewhere, e.g. at some Toad forum, maybe at toadworld.com.

Oracle Express Performance

Hi,
We are using Oracle Express 6.3.2 & Oracle 8.1.5 for a decision
support system that we are building.
We are using a server with 2GB RAM, Dual CPU( 550MHz) along with
more than 100 GB HDD.The OS being used is Windows NT enterprise
edition server 4.0.On which both Oracle Relational database and
Express express server resides.
The building of multi-dimensional database(MDDB) doesn't take
time, we are using around 9 dimensions with total data in MDDB
being in the range of 5- 10 Lakhs records.The building time is
about 3 minutes.
However, the running of an application(XPJ) based on the MDDB
takes lot of time. The report takes about 2 Minutes to appear
and situtation is even worse in what-if analysis kind of
reports!.The MDDB is being accessed from Windows NT Client
workstation 4.0 with 128 MB RAM.
We have read Oracle Express Performance Tuning and Database
Design Guide which is available from both Oracle Technology
Network (technet.oracle.com) and Metalink, however it doesn't
seem to be of much help.The sparsity etc. have been taken care
of by us.
CAN ANYBODY PROVIDE ASSISTANCE ON THIS ISSUE OR IS IT NORMAL
THING TO EXPECT FROM ORACLE EXPRESS????...., .Request someone to
respond to this issue, as it very urgent & bothersome to us.
Thanks

Dear Friend,
I am trying to configure reports for express data and in this regard I have done the following :
1.Machine A having reports 9i Developer suite Release 2 and Pluggable Express Connection Editor installed on Windows 2000 professional.
2.Machine B having which Express Server 6.3.4 installed on Windows 2000 professional.
3.In Machine A created user OESDBA with Administrator privilige.
In the reports I am able to connect to the Express Server and attach the database and choose the measure.Once all the other steps are done I am able to print the data on the reports.
But if I use a parameter form in which I give the HOST,USER and PASSWORD then substitute the same in the express_server parameter value in the AFTER PARAMETER FORM trigger block then the report gives an error saying that
Express query contains incorrect,missing or damaged information.
How to solve this error ?
Can you please help.

OBIEE 11g installation over Oracle Express (XE)

During OBIEE 11g installation we are required to cofigure connection string to DB.
We installled Oracle Express (XE) on the same machine with default settings.
What should be the connection string in the DB details form?
Whether and if so, how should we configure the service in XE?

localhost:port_used:db_service_name
Port is usually 1521. DB Service name is the DB name that you assigned to your DB.

Lsnrctl services does not show service XE - new install of Oracle Express

It's a time-consuming and problematic installation of Oracle Express 11g, but for the moment just one question: why isn't service XE showing up in lsnrctl services? Here's that output, with Service XE missing:
Connecting to (DESCRIPTION=(ADDRESS=(PROTOCOL=IPC)(KEY=EXTPROC1)))
Services Summary...
Service "CLRExtProc" has 1 instance(s).
Instance "CLRExtProc", status UNKNOWN, has 1 handler(s) for this service...
Handler(s):
"DEDICATED" established:0 refused:0
LOCAL SERVER
Service "PLSExtProc" has 1 instance(s).
Instance "PLSExtProc", status UNKNOWN, has 1 handler(s) for this service...
Handler(s):
"DEDICATED" established:0 refused:0
LOCAL SERVER
The command completed successfully
listener.ora is:
LISTENER =
(DESCRIPTION_LIST =
(DESCRIPTION =
(ADDRESS = (PROTOCOL = IPC)(KEY = EXTPROC1))
(ADDRESS = (PROTOCOL = TCP)(HOST = 127.0.0.1)(PORT = 1521))
DEFAULT_SERVICE_LISTENER = (XE)
tnsnames.ora is:
XE =
(DESCRIPTION =
(ADDRESS = (PROTOCOL = TCP)(HOST = 127.0.0.1)(PORT = 1521))
(CONNECT_DATA =
(SERVER = DEDICATED)
(SERVICE_NAME = XE)
slqnet.ora is:
SQLNET.AUTHENTICATION_SERVICES = (NONE)
NAMES.DIRECTORY_PATH = (TNSNAMES, EZCONNECT)

Well, I think this is progress, attempting to connect in sqlplus gives the error I had in SQL Developer when I had service XE showing up in lsnrctl services (that was the 2nd installation, now on the 3rd)
SQL> connect system/xxxxxxx
ERROR:
ORA-01034: ORACLE not available
ORA-27101: shared memory realm does not exist
Process ID: 0
Session ID: 0 Serial number: 0
So, couldn't connect and no luck with alter system register.
Yes, I should be OK with 127.0.0.1, both client and server are my home PC. Thanks for the idea of testing with no listener.ora at all - I renamed and moved listener.ora, for this interesting result: in sqlplus I either get the same ORA-01034 and ORA-27101, or 2 pages of a sqlplus help file, depending on the logon syntax used. I'm sure that's user error. In SQL Developer New Database Connection Test I get ORA-12514.
I've been closely following the thread from Marco ORA-01034 , ORA-27101 in windows Domain, and have learned a lot from you, Srini and TSharma. I think I'm leaning towards the possibility of a bad install. Task Manager shows process oracle.exe running (this may not mean much) and Services shows all the Oracle services Started. I don't know enough to interpret what I'm seeing for oracle.exe in Windows Process Explorer, although it looks like something is running. But suppose, hypothetically, that it was a bad installation, how would I test that?
Looking at the log files, I'm seeing clsc1.log is nearly identical to what Marco reported in that other thread:
Oracle Database 11g Clusterware Release 11.2.0.2.0 - Production Copyright 1996, 2010 Oracle. All rights reserved.
2013-04-12 01:25:47.968: [ default][3228]ut_read_reg:2:ocr registry key SOFTWARE\Oracle\olr cannot be opened. error 2
[ CLSE][3228]clse_get_crs_home: Error retrieving OLR configuration [0] [Error opening olr registry key. The system cannot find the file specified.
This may be another clue, the listener log file has this after a SQL Developer New Database Connection Test (test of Connection Type TNS + Network Alias XE, XE shows up just fine in the dropdown). My computer name is newamptron, and that host_addr IP is my DSL provider. Note the completely random port 2051. Essentially same message data with or without listener.ora in place.

Hyperion EPM: Will Oracle Express suffice for Shared Services and Registry?

Hi.
I'm trying to install Hyperion EPM on Linux to make use of the Hyperion Interactive Reporting server components to allow report scheduling, web delivery of reports, etc. My data sources will all be MySQL. I'm at the point where I'm attempting to use the EPM Configurator for setting up Shared Services and Registry Database Connection. It seems my options for choosing a database on which to allow Shared Services and Registry data to reside are limited to 3: Oracle, SQL Server or DB2 (noticeably absent is MySQL)
So, it looks like I'm going to have to install an Oracle DB instance at the very least.
My question is this:
Can I get away with just installing Oracle Express for the Shared Services and Registry or will I have to install a full blown Oracle DB instance?
Thanks
-- Tom

Hi, I confirm that you can use Oracle Express for Shared services and registry. We have installed the complete EPM platform on a single virtual machine using Oracle Express. It’s interesting to use it because Oracle Express use less resource. We can run this virtual machine on a computer that only have 4GB of RAM and get good performance (for a single user).
I recommend using it for proof-of-concept and Bootcamps.

Oracle Express 6.3.2

Hi
I would like to see the sample Charts/Graphs using oracle express thinclient. I have installed this software on WIndows2000 and Orclce APache server is configured for Express webagent.
Express Web Agent supports both HTML tables (keyword HTMLTABLE) and Java tables (keyword JAVATABLE). The Javatable and HTMLtable related files are kept in the directory below.
C:/OEXHOME/OLAP/OES632/OWA632/sample/
After selecting the option and i am not able to see the charts/graphs. Could anyone tell me anypatches to be installed to get the charts..
Thanks
Narasimha.

There is no additional patches you need to install in order to see graphs.
Even if you choose HTML tables as the default table type, you should still see java graphs. We don't have a html based graph.
Could you let me know if you are seeing any errors when you are trying to display the graphs?
Also which browser and version you are using.

HELP : OAS 4.0 & Oracle Express on NT

Hi,
I am trying to run the example Samples application in Oracle Express Web Agent User's guide on IE 5.0 web browser. I have installed Oracle Express 6.3 along with its Web agent component. After starting Oracle Express service & installing OAS 4.0 & starting all its services & HTTP listeners from its Administrator's applet, I try to open the first page of the Samples application(it has the title: Oracle Express Web Agent {Samples}) which is opened successfully but when I click on any of the two links on that page I get a page not found error. The OAS administration applet shows that all the services are running except the Web agent & Web agent RPC services which are shown as not running(red flags). How do you start the Web agent services ? Is configuration & set up for web agent easier on Solaris ?
Also I don't have access to "Oracle Express Web Products installation guide" as its link(http://technet.oracle.com/docs/products/exp_server/doc_index.htm) is broken. I don't know whether having this guide would make any difference. I am desperately trying to make the Web interface work without any success so far. Please let me know how to fix this problem.
Thanks in advance,
Aejaz

Check the following things:
1. Express Server 6.3 is up and running.
2. OAS 4.0 is installed in its own home directory.
3. You have un-commented the correct html line in .../sample/index.html file. CGI or cartridge???
4. You have moved oowa.cfg and oowa.exe in the OAS executable directory, and edited oowa.cfg with correct configuration.
Express Web Products installation guide explains all the steps for NT in detail.

Oracle express administrator-not working

We have installed the oracle express server on Sun solaris unix. I have installed the Express administrator on the deskto and configured the connect XCF file in express connection editor. But I am not able to see the connection string I have created using the connection editor when I open express administrator. But when I open express analyzer I can see the connect string. How to solve this problem? any help will be appreciated.

Try to add the following line in the xadmin.ini file to the [Install] section :
ECF=ECF634
If your express version is not 6.3.4 then the numbers change according to the version.
If thre is no [Install] section in the ini file add that line too.
Hope this helps

Quickly Launching JDeveloper</li>
Invoking the JDeveloper Help system (without running JDeveloper)</li>
Adding external tools to JDeveloper's Tools menu</li>
Editing JDeveloper Configuration files</li>
</ul>
This document explains how to perform the above tasks, and hopefully, you

results of statements such as System.out.println( "message" ).</li>
Let you understand how easy customizing various aspects can be</li>
</ul>
<h2>
<hr WIDTH="100%"></h2>
<h2>
Detailed Instructions</h2>
1. If you have not previously executed JDeveloper, Run JDeveloper once
and exit.
This creates the initial JDeveloper.ini
2. Create links to JDeveloper's key files.
<blockquote>Right click on the Windows Start menu
Select Explore All Users to launch an Explorer window
We will refer to this as Explorer Window #2 because it has 2 panes
(left &; right)
Note: This directory structure is also used by the Windows Start menu,
thus adding folders here is the same as adding menu items to the Start
menu decedents, Adding folders here is the same as adding sub-menus!
In the right hand pane of Explorer Window #2, double click on Programs.
Double click on the Oracle JDeveloper Folder.
Select menu File | New / Folder to create a new folder.
Name the folder, Customize
Right click on the JDeveloper icon (either one)
Select the Properties menu to launch the JDeveloper
properties dialog,
<blockquote>Switch to the Shortcut Tab.
Copy the path portion of the Target string (exclude JDeveloper.exe)
into the clipboard (Select + Ctrl-C )
Cancel the Properties dialog</blockquote>
Press windows Start | Run... menu
Paste clipboard contents (Ctrl+V) in the open line.
Press OK to create an Explorer window.
We will refer to this as Explorer Window #1 because it has 1 pane.
Note that Explorer Window #1 is focused on your JDeveloper bin
directory.
Next we will create shortcuts to key JDeveloper files which are directly
accessible from your windows start menu.
Situate the two explorer windows so they do not overlap (shrink window
size if necessary)
We will be dragging from Explorer Window #1 to Explorer Window #2.
// Create Shortcut to JDeveloper.ini inside of Customize folder/menu.
In Explorer Window #2, Double click on Customize folder
In Explorer window #1, find and select JDeveloper.ini.
***Important: Right Click
and Drag JDeveloper.ini from Explorer Window #1 and right-drag to Explorer
Window #2 and release the right mouse button in the right pane.
Then a small context menu appears, select the menu item Create
Shortcut(s) Here
This created a shortcut to JDeveloper.ini.
// Create Shortcut to Tools.cfg inside of Customize folder/menu.
Lets repeat the process for Tools.cfg
Right click-drag from Explorer window #1 to Explorer Window #2 and
choose Create Shortcut(s) Here.
// Navigate to LIB dir
In Explorer Window #1, lets navigate one directory level up by pressing
the Folder UP arrow icon.
Now Double click on the LIB directory Folder.
// Create Shortcut to JDeveloper.properties inside of Customize folder/menu.
Lets repeat the process for JDeveloper.properties.
Right click-drag from Explorer window #1 to Explorer Window #2 and
choose Create Shortcut(s) Here.
// Create Shortcut to JBO.properties inside of Customize folder/menu.
[Optional] Lets repeat the process for JBO.properties.
Right click-drag from Explorer window #1 to Explorer Window #2 and
choose Create Shortcut(s) Here.
// Navigate to DOC dir
In Explorer Window #1, lets navigate one directory level up by pressing
the Folder UP arrow icon.
Now Double click on the Doc directory Folder.
In Explorer Window #2, lets navigate one directory level up by pressing
the Folder UP arrow icon. This places us in the folder where the JDeveloper
shortcut is.
// Create Shortcut to JDeveloper.chm inside of JDeveloper folder/menu.
Lets repeat the process for JDeveloper.chm
Right click-drag from Explorer window #1 to Explorer Window #2 and
choose Create Shortcut(s) Here.
// Create Quick Launch Shortcut to JDeveloper.
If you do not have the Windows Quick Launch Menu enabled, Right click
on your Task bar, but not on any icons and Select Menu ToolBars | Quick
Launch to display Quick Launch Menu
Now Select JDeveloper from Explorer Window #1 and Right click-drag
to the Quick Launch Area (on windows Task Bar) and choose Create Shortcut(s)
Here.
This creates a Quick Launch icon for launching JDeveloper from the
Quick Launch area.
To verify everything is OK, you can now select the Window Start menu
| Programs | Oracle JDeveloper... and you should see links to all the new
files we just added.
When everything is as you like, close both explorer windows.</blockquote>
3. Enable JDeveloper's output console window
<blockquote>Select Windows Start menu | Programs | Oracle JDeveloper |
JDeveloper.ini
If windows asks you what to use to edit this file choose Write.
Search for LogConsole=0 and change it to LogConsole=1
