Install OLAP

Question

Hi,
I have installed oracle 10g and applied 10.2.0.3 patch set and interim patch also. During first install I didn't install OLAP and I didn't choose OLAP while installing patch set. I am getting below ORA- error in alert log.
Errors in file /opt/app/oracle/admin/EPDEV/udump/epdev_ora_16453.trc:
ORA-00604: error occurred at recursive SQL level 1
ORA-12663: Services required by client not available on the server
ORA-36961: Oracle OLAP is not available.
ORA-06512: at "SYS.OLAPIHISTORYRETENTION", line 1
ORA-06512: at line 15
Now If I want to install OLAP only. Can some body guide me the steps please.
Thank you for your help in advance

Answer 1

Installing OLAP means your database options must have the OLAP options enabled, OLAP is available among the Enterprise Edition Options, verify if this is installed.
SQL> R
  1  select * from v$option
  2* where parameter like '%OLAP%'
PARAMETER                                        VALUE
OLAP Window Functions                            TRUE
OLAP                                             TRUEand the database must have the OLAP catalog created and valid:
SQL> R
  1  select comp_name, version, status from dba_registry
  2* where comp_name like '%OLAP%'
COMP_NAME                        VERSION                        STATUS
OLAP Analytic Workspace          10.1.0.2.0                     VALID
Oracle OLAP API                  10.1.0.2.0                     VALID
OLAP Catalog                     10.1.0.2.0                     VALID
Scenario 1: OLAP option installed and upgraded, component name not installed:
Enter to your dbca and:
a. Select configure database options
b. Select your target database
c. Skip the EM configuration in case the checkbox is not greyed, we don't need it now.
d. At the database components, check the Oracle OLAP option.
e. After a while, this will have run the required scripts and your database will be OLAP enabled.
f. Verify with the above queries.
Scenario 2: OLAP options not installed.
1. Install the OLAP from your media, explicitly select the components and install them.
2. Afterwards apply the patchset to upgrade the newly installed components.
3. Proceed with scenario 1.
