Have you installed the repository ?
Under the developer suite menu you should find 'software configuration guide' --> oracle scm repository installation guide'.
Follow the installation guide very carefully.
The above is what I have on my home XP (and at work on a W2003) installation
which is 9.0.4 or
dev suite 10 g (as everything else from Oracle these days :-)).
Good luck with your exam. Received on Wed Oct 18 2006 - 07:01:39 CDT
