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.
Regds,

Oracle express vs regular edition

how are you?
wanted to ask you the following:
i am doing an online course in PL/SQl (see below for syllabus) and originally i installed
an Oracle Express 10 edition.
my instructor though told me that i should install a regular edition because
'express edition behaves quite differently'.
the problem is that regular edition consumes a lot of resources and really slows down the computer. i have a feeling that for this
course (see below) there is not reason to install the whole of Oracle.
what is your opinions shall i switch to oracle express?
thank you :)
===========
Intermediate Oracle
Gain hands-on experience with Oracle's PL/SQL programming language, with expert assistance from an IT veteran. PL/SQL is Oracle's procedural language extension to Structured Query Language (SQL). This course will give you the skills you need to write powerful and flexible programs using that language. You'll learn the building blocks and core features of PL/SQL, including expressions, various iterations, and built-in functions. Then, you'll begin building fully functional PL/SQL programs with procedures, packages, debugging routines, database structures, triggers, and cursor processing. By the time you finish this course, you will be able to store PL/SQL programs in a database and execute them.

Express Edition runs exactly the same PL/SQL and SQL engine as the big guys.
Express, however, does not include Java in the database so it is not possible to run or call Java Stored Procedures. This is often considered an 'advanced topic'.
In my experience, with the exception of some 'advanced' built-in packages such as Spatial (which are also advanced topics) even many of the supplied Packages and Procedures will work. As an example, even Application Express works on XE and that is done 'entirely in PL/SQL'.
The instructor is absolutely correct if referring to the management interface. Express Edition does not include DB Control. But that is not a 'PL/SQL' or 'SQL' topic unless dealing with performance management and Diagnostic/Tuning packs.
More details are necessary ... 'proof by blatant assertion' is not an answer in this case.

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 perfomance problem

Hi, I am facing performance issues with following application in Oracle Express using OFA as front end. There are 9 dimensions in cube and one measure. DB size 18-20 GB. geography and time dimension is dense, all other are composite. Leaf level data for one month and one geography is 50k rows only. It is taking more than 1 hour to run following command.
allstat
lmt geography to 'G036'
lmt time to 'DEC06'
value=na
upd
I have to na the data before uploading new data. could someone pls suggest some better way to na the data, which should be faster?
thanks very much.

The fastest method would be to rename your geography and time dimension values
to a temp value (to be removed on your next eif export/import)
And then add them back and load ..
ie
mnt time rename 'DEC06' 'XDEC06'
mnt geography rename 'G036' 'XG036'
update
mnt time add 'DEC06'
mnt geography add 'G036'
" NO Need TO NA Anything .. just load your data
You could try deleting the members instead of the rename .. but this caused
me some problems in the past .. so i found the rename to work better.

Oracle Express Remote Installation - Error 1628

Hi
I'm currently getting error 1628 during the installation of Oracle Express on a machines with Windows XP SP2.
The installation of Oracle Express is being performed silently using a patch management/software distribution tool such as BigFix. The installation of this product is initiated when a non-admin user accepts an action from the patch management server to install Oracle Express. When the action is accepted OracleXEUniv.exe installer executes as the LOCAL SYSTEM account and NOT the logged in user. Again this user is a domain user but does not have local admin privileges. While this approach does NOT work for a non-admin user, it does work for a user with local admin privileges.
On a related note ... I was able to test the installation of OracleExpress using the patch management server while no one was logged into the machine. The installation ran as the LOCAL SYSTEM account and was successful.
Can someone explain what level of privileges is required by the Oracle Express installer, why would Oracle Express fail to install while logged in as a non-admin user if the installation process shows that OracleXEUniv.exe is being executed as the LOCAL SYSTEM (reported through theTask Manager)
Thank you in advanced.
Jose

Hi,
Thanks for the link; it was helpful. However, I'm curios to know why would the installation complete with the LOCAL SYSTEM account when I'm logged off the machine but not when I'm logged in as a non-admin user while the job is running in the background as the LOCAL SYSTEM (LOCAL SYSTEM part of the Local Admin group). Again this process is being initiated by a software distribution tool not by a user or administrator. This is how I'm able to define the run as user.
Originally when I logged into the machine as a non-admin user the job would fail with error 1628 even though it is executed as the LOCAL SYSTEM user. However, when I'm logged off the machine (Windows Login Prompt visible at the screen) the installation completes successfully.
I just wonder How and When does the Windows Installer know what user is being used for the installation of Oracle Express?
Thank you in advanced.

Oracle Express vs Oracle Discoverer

For publishing reports on the web, which product is better? Oracle Express or Oracle Discoverer? I understand Oracle Discoverer comes packaged with OracleAS. Do we need to purchase Oracle Express separately? What factors determine one product over the other?
thanks,

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

Can 10g express perform pull replication?

I have a MS Sql Server on one end with a distributor and publisher of data for replication. I would like to have on the other end Oracle 10g express perform a pull subscription of one table (back to) to the MS Sql Server. Can 10g express perform this function?
The reason I ask this question is that I currently have MS Sql Server Express on the other end. It cannot perform the pull subscription due to function limitation. Thanks.

Welcome to the forums !
10g Express Edition has limited capabilities - see http://download.oracle.com/docs/cd/B25329_01/doc/license.102/b25456/toc.htm#BABJBGGA
If any of the features not available in 10g Express Edition are being used in the 8i database, you will not be able to use 10g Express Edition. You will need one of the other editions - see http://download.oracle.com/docs/cd/B19306_01/license.102/b14199/editions.htm#BABJICBB
How big is the 8i database ? You should be able to ask them to provide an export dump file (http://download.oracle.com/docs/cd/A87860_01/doc/index.htm) that you can then import into a suitable 10g database (http://download.oracle.com/docs/cd/B19306_01/server.102/b14215/exp_imp.htm#sthref2591)
This process requires some knowledge / experience with Oracle. Pl also note that both 8i and 10g versions are de-supported, so do not expect too much help from Oracle Support if you run into issues.

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?

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

Could you please tell me what could probably be wrong with the installation. Thanks for your help in advance.
