Oracle express RAA/RAM (6.3.4)

RAA throws this error - An ODBC Error has occured in module ExecuteDirect !!!
We are developing project to create OLAP cube using RAA. After logging into the RAA screen by entering the database userid and password. We created dimension in the Data Model Tab. After this we completed the Dimension map and Variable map.
We tried saving the project. Following error was thrown and we were not able to save the project with the
added dimensions:-
"An ODBC Error has occured in module ExecuteDirect.Any changes to the database will be rolled back
[Microsoft][ODBC driver for Oracle][Oracle]ORA-00001:unique constriant
(DW_FACT.CUBETYPES_IDX) violated
(DW_FACT.CUBEINSTS_IDX) violated
(DW_FACT.DIMENSIONS_IDX) violated
(DW_FACT.DIMENSIONSTL_IDX) violated
An Error occured updating the Database Maintenence MetaData
Finally the RAM Build Status was thrown as given below
Dimension Map Status : Complete
Variable MAp Status :Complete
This Project can be built by Relational Access Manager".
Any Idea where could be the problem.
We are stuck up out here. If someone could help us it would be grateful.
Regards
Narasimha.

It seems like your metadata has been corrupted. You will need to import your backup WH_tables if you have backed up the metadata.
If not you should create WH_ tables again using sql scripts in \raa634\sqlscripts directory and recreate the model.

Express Server/RAM Installation

Hi All,
I have downloaded the oes6301nt from technet.oracle.com. I am trying to install express server on a NT 4.0 Workstation. The Oracle universal installer is not showing the Relational Access Manager product when you select Oracle Express Server 6.3 + Custom installation.
However it did install the relational access admin and RAA query statistics modules.
Any Suggestions?
thanx
ranjan

Hi Ranjan and Dilys
Guess what? Even though earlier today, I put in a posting that I had no clue where exactly RAM is(see below) I just found out from where you can get RAM. This is so crazy. You need to install Oracle express client 6.3. When you are installing, you will see it will show you 4 options. The 3rd option is Express Administrator Install option. RAM, for some reason, is under that option. But now I am not sure if the express developer option and the administrator option will function smoothly if installed on the same machine/Oracle home. Since I just found this out and its Friday night, I wont know if the 2 will work from the same machine or not till Monday(ie. connecting to an Express Server on a different machine and Oracle DB on a 3 rd machine).
So good luck to the 2 of you and keep me posted how it goes.
Thanks
Das

Oracle Express Limitation

Good day
As specified in the documentation Oracle Express offers the following space storage limitations. To clarify what defines the storage space, can you please answer the questions below. Here are the four limitation as specified in the Oracle Express documentation
1- User data cannot exceed 4 gigabytes in size (in addition to Oracle system data).
2- Each computer can host only one instance of Oracle Express.
3 - Oracle Express may be installed on a multiple CPU machine, but it will execute (run) only on a single processor or a single processor core if multi-core processors are used.
4- Oracle Express may be installed on a server with any amount of memory, but will use only up to 1 GB of available RAM memory.
User data cannot exceed 4 gigabytes in size (in addition to Oracle system data).
QUESTION 1 - Please confirm that the ENTIRE 4 GIG is allocated for user storage not oracle files storage?
QUESTION 1 - Please confirm that the 4 GIG limitation DOES NOT include space used by Oracle system files (SYS and SYSTEM)?
QUESTION 2 - Please confirm that the 4 GIG limitation DOES NOT include space used by Oracle Temp files and Undo / Redo files (TEMP and UNDO)?
QUESTION 3- Please confirm that the 4 GIG limitation DOES NOT include space used by Oracle CONTROL FILE and BLOCK CHANGE TRACKING files?
QUESTION 4 - What query can I run to identify the used space within the 4 GIG allocated storage space?
I have also heard that the overall Physical size is limited to 5 GIG (Need to know is this is true. It is not mentionned in Oracle Express documentation)
QUESTION 1 - Does Oracle Express limits the overall database physical size to 5 GIG?
QUESTION 2 - If Question 1 is true -- Please confirm that the 5 GIG limitation DOES NOT include space used by TEMP and UNDO / REDO files?
QUESTION 3 - If Question 1 is true -- Does the 5 GIG limitation includes space used by SYS and SYSTEM files?
QUESTION 4 - If Question 1 is true -- Does the 5 GIG limitation includes space used by CONTROL FILE and BLOCK CHANGE TRACKING files?
QUESTION 5 - What query can I run to identify the overall database size?
Thank you in advance for your help. I really appreciate it.

What query can I run to identify the overall database size?Try this :SQL> select sum(bytes) from dba_data_files
2 where tablespace_name not in (select tablespace_name
3 from dba_tablespaces where contents = 'UNDO');

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.

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 Dimension attributes

Hi,
I would like to create a multi-dimensional database with Oracle Express. I don't how to define dimensions with attributes.
Is anybody can help me?
Thank you.

why is it slow even though i acces the site from my own pc where is oracle express is install..Probably because you have too much going on the machine.
Oracle database works best if it can get 250-400 M Ram to itself. It gets real bad when there is a lot of paging or swapping - which is an OS problem, not really Oracle's problem.

Preparing for Oracle OCA 11g using an Oracle Express 10g database

As a software application developer, I have been considering Oracle certification for a while to enhance my skill set. Unfortunately I don't have access to a commercial Oracle installation, and would like to use a free version of Oracle Express during my studies. The latest OCA courses largely focus on Oracle 11g, and it would appear that there is no free (Express) 11g database available yet.
Could anyone please advise me whether it would be possible and practical to prepare for the 1Z0-051 Oracle Database 11g: SQL Fundamentals I and 1Z0-052 Oracle Database 11g: Administration I exams using an Oracle Express 10g database instance, while accompanied by the relevant Oracle 11g study material? In other words, is the overlap between Oracle 10g and 11g sufficient that a solid understanding of 10g could allow me to successfully sit the 11g exams? Furthermore, would the Express edition of the database provide sufficient functionality to prepare for the Administration exam?

(http://education.oracle.com/pls/web_prod-plq-dad/db_pages.getpage?page_id=41&p_org_id=1080544&lang=US&p_exam_id=1Z0_051 says Exam 051 has been validated against Oracle Database 10g and Oracle Database 11g. Training on either version will be appropriate preparation.).
For 1z0-052 the situation is different. Oracle 10g express edition hides some of the administration tasks ... you really need to be using 11g.
If you dont waht Oracle 11g all over your regular machine then I would typically recommend install Oracle Enterprise Linux either on a spare machine with a dual core or HT processor and with 2GB or more of memory (eg Dell gx280 or better); or using a virtualisation solution on your current machine (ram would need to be 3GB or higher) (eg virtualbox or whatever ... though windows as a guest can have a license issue).

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

Oracle Express 10g - cannot install on Windows 2003

I'm trying to install Oracle Express 10g on Windows 2003. On this machine already works MS SQL2005 server.
The installation starts ok but after copying files installer disappears whitout any message (in that moment an icon on desktop should be created, but it's not) All files copied first by installer are deleted upon it finishes it's work. From the same package I installed Express on Windows XP and then there was everything ok.
I checked install log but it didn't tell me much. It looks more or less the same as the log file from succesful installation until bolded line:
MSI (s) (30:A4) [15:02:44:281]: User policy value 'DisableRollback' is 0
MSI (s) (30:A4) [15:02:44:281]: Machine policy value 'DisableRollback' is 0
Action ended 15:02:44: InstallFinalize. Return value 2.
On successful installation the return value is 1. But it doesn't tell me anything. Also in event logs I got only mssinstaller information (event 11708)
Product: Oracle Database 10g Express Edition -- Installation operation failed.
Do anyone experienced such problem?
Regards,
Piotr

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

Corrupt Data1.cab in Oracle Express 10g Universal for Windows

Hello Oracle Folks,
I downloaded several times Oracle Express 10g Universal for Windows (OracleXEUniv.exe) and tried to install it and I get every time the same error message: "Error 1335. The required file "Data1.cab" is corrupt and cannot be used ...". When I download the Western European Edition (OracleXE.exe) the installation works! I downloaded the file on different local disks to exclude the risk that my disk is damaged.
Can you please check if this download is sane!
Thanks and best regards Thomas Mayr

Amazing reply Hans.
I have seen some arrogent smart mouth answers in my time. But this really takes the cake. Also judging from the icon you are some kind of employee of oracle. Wow! Now that shows respect for your users.
Sorry to disappoint you - I am not an employee of Oracle. Much of your rant is irrelevant.
I am simply a person who has volunteered enough time to provide over 8,000 repsonses in these forums and many more in other forums.
Many, many, many of the questions are pure repetition due to the extreme laziness, incompetence or inability to do basic thinking by the questioners. There are also a lot of questions by 'newbies' who have obviously made an attempt to research the problem.
My approach to answering questions is simple and two-fold:
- make the person angry enough, or aware ennough, that they will think a bit when asking the next question;
- if they ask a question intelligently (http://www.catb.org/~esr/faqs/smart-questions.html) I usually am convinced to help.
(And yes, I do take longer breaks when I find myself being frustrated enough to provide answers like the above.)
The stupid installation program for your stupid database was supposed to check the version of the Operating System. Anyway how does the operating system version matter if a cab file is corrupted? which was incidently packed in that stupid download link which you have happily given to all customers all this time. I was hoping to find that since you guys are too lazy to make the installation file properly you might have atleast bothered to put up a download link for that stupid Data1.cab. But nooo... The 'stupid installation program' is indeed that - a stupid installation program. It does a certain amount of checking, but definitely not enough. In that I do agree with you. It was also released too early - basrely understands how to spell Vista.
Also, there is an assumption by Oracle that the person downloading reads the documentation, especially the installation guide, that is available at the same location as the download. It is amazing and extremely disappointing to note how many people will not even attempt to look at the link.
The real sad part for me is that I frequently download software (and did again in this case) to verify that the user has a legitimate complaint. The 'data1.cab' that I received was not corrupt. Therefore I conclude the original poster made some huge assumption that is likely invalid. Now, I did install into an XP machine, and that could make a difference.
As for the 'you guys' statement - perhaps you should take that up with Oracle or an Oracle employee. Directing at me is an unsubstantiated assumption on your part. <g>
>
I wasted some time thinking I would check out the db for development, got the same error and after seeing your mealy mouthed response to that poor guy who was asking a valid question, I think I won't bother anymore. You see, there is this amazing thing called Linux and MySQL..
Yup. You could easily go there. Shows yet another assumption. (In fact, my company is centered around Linux and Oracle. And I have made a conscious decision, based on 3 decades of experience, to toss MySQL and stick with Oracle. And now that Sun, which owns MySQL, seems to be on the auction block, the future of MySQL is definitely up in the air.)
However, given how many assumptions you make and how valid they are, you may find it easier to stick with MySQL. Oracle Express edition potentially could save huge buckets of time and effort in the long run, but it does require reading, research and other skills to get up to speed.
Now, as to your problem
1) This is not the forum to discuss issues with installation. (If the problem is traced to the download source, then this is the right spot.)
2) There is a dedicated forum for Oracle Database 10g Release 2 Express Edition (Oracle Database Express Edition (XE)
3) You are absolutely correct that the installer should be smart enough to check the OS. It does not.
4) Since it does not, and since there are differences, knowing which version AND edition of Windows (or which Linux distro and release) is critical to troubleshooting.
