Oracle Express Server

Hi,
I am looking for information about what is happening to Express Server in version 9i. I know it is going away, but how is the OLAP/MDDB data going to be stored in 9i? I think it is going to be in the database, but how will it be stored? What is the method for reading it (API/SQL)? Does it have a new name (Advanced Analytic Services)? I have looked on OTN, but could not find any specific information on my questions.
Thanks,
Donna

Donna:
I have the same problem too. I heard that 9i will store data in both ROLAP mode as well as MOLAP mode. You will have the option of deciding which mode to store it in. The MOLAP mode will contain the functionality of Express server. I do not know what API's and how client programs will access this information ..... Oracle has been very quiet about this. They are developing a new standard called JOLAP (Java for OLAP) which will complete with Microsofts standards for client access (OLE DB for OLAP)

  • 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 Server Vs Oracle 10g Express Edition

    Hi Guys,
    I have very basic doubt regarding Oracle Database 10g Express Edition and Oracle Express Server. Is both are same or its different ??
    Actually I am looking into docs of OFA i.e. Oracle Financial Analyzer, and before installing this I need to Install Oracle Express Server (OES).
    Does anyone has any idea on OES
    Thanks and Regards
    JC

    Thanks for clarification, I was suppose to write
    Oracle Application Express (formerly Oracle HTML DB) .Yup. It's pretty easy to get these mixed up. Especially since Express Server and Personal Express (the BI OLAP tools) really have been off the radar for several years, ever since most of the functionality was folded into the OLAP option of the Enterprise Edition.
    So what we have now is "Oracle Database 10g Release 2 Express Edition" with "Oracle Application Express" as a dev/ui tool. And I've noticed that some people are saying calling "Express Server" when they mean "Application Express".

  • Oracle Reports 6.x and Oracle Express Server

    What are the benefits of using Oracle Reports in conjunction with Oracle Express Server? We are currently using OFA for planning and forecasting, and are evaluating Oracle Reports as a tool to produce and publish key financial reports for a large user community. Is there any benefit in using Oracle Reports rather than just creating and publishing the reports directly within OFA?
    Thanks,
    Bill

    Bill,
    we tried to use Reports 6i with Express server. There were many troubles.
    1. It is very hard task to establish connection Reports/Express
    2. It is not possible to enter parameters for the reports
    3.There are limitation on the number of dimensions in the report

  • Oracle Express Server wont start after install

    Hi all,
    For my sins I have to support an Oracle Express Server and am trying to get the software installed on my Dell latitude d630 laptop, am running XP SP2. When I start the service it fails and writes this to the logs :-
    [AD4     ] 3 05/14/2008 09:11:47 Security Mgr - Logon(Default)User(OESguest) fails - error: 1326.
    [AD4     ] 3 05/14/2008 09:11:47 Security Mgr - GlobalConstructor)() failed.
    So looks like it can't login as OESguest. I checked the users and I cant find this user.
    Anyone had this problem ????
    Thanks in advance,
    Brandon

    When you install express it creates three users i.e. oesdba,oesinit and oesguest. if it doesnt exists then try to create manually and see if you are able to up the express.
    change the password for oesguest at operating system level and check.
    Thanks

  • Monitoring Oracle Express Server

    Hello,
    I am looking for tools or methods to monitor the Express Server.
    Thanks!
    Subroto.

    According to this blog http://gcmw.blogspot.com/2009/07/monitoring-apache-http-server-from.html the discovering of Oracle HTTP Server is done automatically (after installing the agent of course). I wouldn't know why that should differ in 11g.

  • 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...

  • Oracle Express : Express not switching to EDT

    Hi,
    We have Oracle Express Server 6.2.0.0.0
    on NT 4.0 (service pack 6).
    This week-end the server leaped ahead 1 hour
    automatically (EDT-Eastern Daylight Time).
    For some reason, Express is not returning
    the EDT time but the previous time.
    We tried rebootintg the server.
    We also tried shutting down all Express
    Services and putting them back up...
    Nothing works.
    The only way is to change the date
    manually (not checking the Automatically
    adjust clock... in WinNT date/Time
    properties)
    Does anyone have an idea why ?
    Thanks,
    SLB.
    null

    It sounds like OES is getting the time from teh CMOS setting instead of the o/s. Microsoft is altering the time within the o/s (not the cmos) .. hence the problem.
    Personally, I don't use features like "automatically adjust time", so I've never seen this.

    Hi,
    I downloaded Oracle Experss Server 6.3.4 to my computer and installed it on Win 2000 Professional but everytime that the service try to start, it terminates with error 2.

    After that I tried again to start the service, but it terminates with error 40.
    In the Server is installed also Oracle Database 9.2.0.1.

  • Install Express Server 6.3.4 (8.1.7 / RedHat 7.3) problem

    Any ideas?

    Check the version of the ODBC driver you are using. This is probably the issue.

  • 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 :)
