Converting from Oracle Express Objects to Standard Form

Hi,
I have create an EIF file from our Oracle Express database, then I have created an Analytic Workspace and imported the EIF file. After this I identify the Time dimensions. But when I want to identify the hierarchie dimension of each time dimension, it brings an Error: "ORA-34492: Analytic Workspace Object Jan96 does not exists", but when I look in the OX there exists the object. Where is the problem?
Thanks Diana

Did you run the conversion program listed in the documentation:
If your Express database contains Oracle Express Objects metadata (that is, it was created by Oracle Express Administrator), then you can use a conversion program named CREATE_DB_STDFORM. Without Oracle Express Objects metadata, CREATE_DB_STDFORM cannot generate sufficient standard form metadata for the OLAP tools to work.
This should generate the required metadata but you will not to create some additional attributes to correctly manage time as the conversion utility does not do everything for you:
If you want to perform time-based analysis on your data, you must identify all time dimensions and populate end date and time span attributes before using CREATE_DB_STDFORM. A sample program is provided in this appendix:
Create date and time span attributes for each dimension.
DEFINE TIME_TIME_SPAN VARIABLE INTEGER <timedim hierdim>
PROPERTY 'USERDATA' FALSE
DEFINE TIME_END_DATE VARIABLE DATE <timedim hierdim>
PROPERTY 'USERDATA' FALSE
Populate the end date and time span attributes, as described in "Populating Time Attributes".
Set properties on the Time dimension:
CONSIDER timedim
PROPERTY 'END_DATE' attribute_name
PROPERTY 'TIME_SPAN' attribute_name
The END_DATE and TIME_SPAN values (attribute_name) identify the names of the variables that you just created.
Run the conversion tool with a command like this:
CALL CREATE_DB_STDFORM('aw')
Refer to the syntax description in "CREATE_DB_STDFORM Syntax". After the conversion tool completes successfully, save the changes:
UPDATE
COMMIT
Hope this helps

How can I use an Express database build with RAA in Express Objects???

Hello, everybody!
I have installed Express Server and Client on my computer. I've build an Express database With Relational Access Manager mapping data from an Oracle database.
Now I want to use this express database in Oracle Express Objects.
I understand that an express database build with understand can be used by defining a connection to Express Server and using the option Relational Access Manager Connection.
But, I didn't understand the settings of this option. I open the settings window and there it is :
- the MASTER DATABASE Box where I have to write the name of the CUBE from the express database build with understand?
- the RDC File Box : what do I have to write here? I've read the HELP but I didn't understood. There is no file with the RDC extension in my computer.
Thank you for your help!
Anca.
[email protected]

you can extend it, very easly, with an Airport Express.
once you connect the AExpress, on the App Airport Utility, in Wireless tab choose to "Extent a Network", you will be able to select your Network enter your Network Password and it is done
i have 2 AExpress to extend my signal and also to Airplay to Remote Speakers and works perfectly
good luck

Oracle express file copy

I need help i am using oracle express objects and the file copy command. i am trying to copy a file from my harddrive of my pc on to the express server which is in unix i am using the following command but all i get is permisson denied.
FileCopy "D://test.txt","\\D_LRIC\Version_7\test.txt"
however i have managed to get this command working using a local server and my hardrive.
i have tried back and forward slashes for the unix file and even placed an empty text file in unix to populate.
i would be great full for any help.
Thanks
Alex

I figured out what the problem was. I simply needed to auto-extend the tablespace for WWW_FLOWS_FILES. It seems obvious now, but the fact that APEX popped me out to a 404 - Page not found instead of the usual ORACLE error threw me off.
I put this explaination here just in case someone else has the same problem.

Regarding Express Objects

Hi,
I want to know if Oracle Express Objects are available with version 8.1.7.2.
Regards,
Mallika

Hi,
For inserting a new record you need not use the ENQUEUE object as the entry doesnt exist.
We lock the entry while modifying. So the sequence is:
1. Lock the entry.
2. Modify/ Update.
3. Unlock.

Display blob field image in Oracle Express

Hi,
I upgraded the apex in my Oracle express edition to 3.2 and tried to display image in blob field following the step in the Apex tutorial,
but the error '*The requested operation is not allowed* ' prompt.
I save the image file in a table with fields mime1,picture1=> blob field.
I created a problem as follow:
CREATE OR REPLACE PROCEDURE download_my_file(p_hotel_id in number) AS
v_mime VARCHAR2(48);
v_length NUMBER;
v_file_name VARCHAR2(2000);
Lob_loc BLOB;
BEGIN
--execute immediate
--'SELECT MIME_TYPE'||to_char(p_picture)||', picture'||to_char(p_picture)||', '||to_char(p_picture)||',DBMS_LOB.GETLENGTH(blob_content) '||
--'INTO v_mime,lob_loc,v_file_name,v_length FROM hotels_pic '||
--'WHERE hotel_id = '||to_char(p_hotel_id);
select mime_type1,picture1,'test/picture1',DBMS_LOB.GETLENGTH(picture1)
INTO v_mime,lob_loc,v_file_name,v_length
from hotels_pic where hotel_id=1;
-- set up HTTP header
-- use an NVL around the mime type and
-- if it is a null set it to application/octect
-- application/octect may launch a download window from windows
owa_util.mime_header( nvl(v_mime,'application/octet'),FALSE );
-- set the size so the browser knows how much to download
htp.p('Content-length: ' || v_length);
-- the filename will be used by the browser if the users does a save as
htp.p('Content-Disposition: attachment;
filename="'||replace(replace(substr(v_file_name,instr(v_file_name,'/')+1),chr(10),null),chr(13),null)|| '"');
-- close the headers
owa_util.http_header_close;
-- download the BLOB
wpg_docload.download_file( Lob_loc );
end download_my_file;
GRANT EXECUTE ON download_my_file TO apex_PUBLIC_user;
GRANT EXECUTE ON download_my_file TO public;
I tried display the image by using <img src="#OWNER#.download_my_file?p_hotel_id=1" height=60 width=40 /img>
But the image don't display...
if I type http://127.0.0.1:8080/apex/HOTEL.download_my_file?p_hotel_id=1 to display the picture , the error " Forbidden,The requested operation is not allowed" prompt.
Am I miss out anything? Anyone can help?
Thanks
Vincent

Hi,
I use a slightly difference code to display images: [http://apex.oracle.com/pls/otn/f?p=267:11]
It is possible that your GRANT command needs to be for PUBLIC instead of public - some things are case-sensitive.
Also, have you checked in SQL Workshop, Object Browser, Procedures to see if your procedure is valid?

Oracle Express 10g with driver 10.2.0.1 - need to update to 10.2.0.5

Hi,
I am not sure if this is the correct place for this question but its where I have seen some other discussions on drivers.
I have Oracle Express 10g installed on my pc, and some work servers and am getting some errors about memory issues and came across this message and decided to try the solution here too - Re: Attempted to read or write protected memory
I have the 10.2.0.1 driver on the clients I am running and the app has 10.2.0.4 (I think) and so decided that updating the clients drivers might solve the problems as described in that thread.
I have downloaded the instant client basic and odbc for windows x32 but am unsure what I need to do next as I have Oracle Express installed. I couldnt find one specifically for Express 10g.
Do I have the correct drivers downloaded and how do I install them into odbc ?
Many thanks, George.

My understanding is that to be a MetaLink subscriber you have to be an Oracle customer or subscribe for Oracle support services. Since Oracle is only one of the many databases we support, and because our sole objective with Oracle is compatibility testing, it's unlikely that we will become subscribers unless it's essentially free.
Oracle is tangential (not core) to our own offerings, so we don't have a pressing need for support. Is there some avenue for people in our shoes?

Problem of Cube data in oracle express database

I am having one problem related to express server database created using relational access administrator. I am using express objects to create some adhoc analysis reports. For that i have created express database using Relational Access Administrator(RAA). I have done the following steps:
     1. Created Dimensions (D1,D2,D3)
     2. Created Variable V1 having dimensions (D1,D2,D3)
     3. Mapped D1 dimension to D1_table (dimension table in oracle schema) and same for the rest two also
     4. Mapped Vaiable to F1_Table (fact table in oracle schema)
     5. Saved this project in RAA.
     6. It will create one Data Cude related to vairable V1.
     7. I have created express database maintenance procedure using RAA
     8. Executed express database maintenance (created above) using Batch manager.
     9. Now I try to access V1 variable in express objects. "It shows me values for all related dimensions in this variable,      But it does not show me value for the fact related to this vaiable. It shows blank information."
     If you have any solution then please let me know.
     Thanks in advance.

Hi Visu,
You can do the selective deletion after carefully making the selections. It may also be a good idea to break up the delete process: Like if you need to delete 2004 data for one company code, then you can do that montt by month.
It is okay to include the compression in a process chain. What we usually do is to compress requests that are eg. older than 15 days. By that time we can be sure that this data is correct. You can also make these settings by number of requests to leave uncompressed.
Hope this helps...

Migration of application from Oracle Express 6.3.4 to Essbase 9

I got a requirement to migrate an application from Oracle Express to Essbase.Can any one help me if there is any documentation for migration or else do I have to rebuild a new application in Essbase with the same functionality as in Oracle Express.
Rgrds,
G.K

As far as I am aware there is no migration tool to convert to essbase and you will have to build a new application in essbase.
On a side note this campaign from Oracle back in 1998 amuses me - http://books.google.co.uk/books?id=4VEEAAAAMBAJ&lpg=PA17&ots=Amg-YO3m5X&pg=PA17#v=onepage&q&f=false
The line "Oracle Express Server slaughtered Arbor Essbase in both load and calculation times and query times" is a classic.
I wonder if Oracle feel the same way now :)
Cheers

Problem with Oracle Express Administrator

Hi everybody,
I want to ask about Oracle Express Administrator,
Please tell me why variable I define in Relational Access always be function in my express? the data always 0.00 too ? I use table Oracle in this
And why always make three database ? after the batch manager ?
Please I'm new with Express Administrator.
Best Regards,
Djohan Wahyudi

This is the way every Express object that is modelled gets implemented at the physical level. Each object has a physical storage object, which is a variable that is usually dimensioned by a composite to manage storage sparsity. This physical object is difficult for users to understand as the dimensionality is not based on the presentation format the user will want. Hence, a logical object (a formula) is used to breakout the variable into the base dimensions making it easier for users to interact with from the perspective of creating queries. There is more information in the user guides on this subject.
I would recommend upgrading to 10g Release 2 rather than using Express. The latest release of the database contained an OLAP multi-dimensional engine within the core database. There is no separate engine like there is with Express and the administration and management tools are much easier. Please refer to the OLAP wbsite on OTN for more information:
http://www.oracle.com/technology/products/bi/olap/index.html
Hope this helps

How can I login to Oracle Express Ed 11g Rel 2 on windows XP 32bit?

I installed Oracle Express Ed 11g Release 2 32bit on windows XP 32bit and I can not login ito it. Installation asked for a password to be created at installation which I used to login with.
The login window is started from a shortcut that installation created on my desktop. I tried to download and install three times. I went thru a SW removable before another download. The login responds with "Invalid Login Credentials"
I have admin rights to my PC. What could be the issue?
Please help.
Thanks.

What could be the issue? Could be many different causes. Mistyping the password is one, or the database could be offline but in most cases that will give a different error message. Open a command box, Start/Run/cmd and try:
$ sqlplus /nolog
connect system
... Password ... <the one used with the installer> ... Connected.
select name from v$database;
login window is started from a shortcut If you're talking about the Apex page, the one that opens a web browser to http://<hostname>:8080/apex and that one needs Apex credentials, not database user credentials. Apex users can be mapped to database users but that is something done via the apex administrator.
Two database accounts "out of the box" are SYS and SYSTEM users, those are special- SYS owns the catalog, SYSTEM is a user with dba role privileges, almost as powerful within the database as the SYS user.

How to use unixODBC with Oracle Express on Ubuntu 8.10?

I downloaded Oracle Express a couple of days ago, so I am totally new to Oracle.
I tried connecting via unixODBC, using dsn=oracledsn, user=dba, password=abcd and received error info:
1: st=01000, nerr=0, msg=
[unixODBC][Driver Manager]Can't open lib '/usr/lib/oracle/xe/app/oracle/product/10.2.0/server/lib/libsqora.so.10.1' : file not found
but the shared 'so' library actually does exist at the path above. I also set
ODBCINI=/etc/odbc.ini;export ODBCINI and immediately checked it was in the environment.
The .ini files are:
/etc/odbcinst.ini
[OracleExpressdrv]
Driver = /usr/lib/oracle/xe/app/oracle/product/10.2.0/server/lib/libsqora.so.10.1
Description = Oracle 10g express driver
/etc/odbc.ini
[ODBC Data Sources]
oracledsn = Oracle Express DSN
[oracledsn]
Driver = OracleExpressdrv
Note: The dsn and the driver names are enclosed within square brackets but came out as web links above in the preview.
After many hours of googling I have not been able to find how to connect via ODBC to a local (on my PC) Oracle Express.
Advice would be most welcome.

hello
I have the same problem. My system is Fedora 11
I set the odbcinst.ini and odbc.ini files as you mentioned. I also set the LD_LIBRARY_PATH :
$ echo $LD_LIBRARY_PATH
/usr/lib/oracle/xe/app/oracle/product/10.2.0/server/lib/
when I try to connect using isql, I get that error:
[01000][unixODBC][Driver Manager]Can't open lib '/usr/lib/oracle/xe/app/oracle/product/10.2.0/server/lib/libsqora.so.10.1' : file not found
[ISQL]ERROR: Could not SQLConnect
I couldn't figure out what I am missing.
May someone help please?
