Re: NEW DBA trying to Connect Oracle8i w/ Designer/2000 and Developer/2000

     I have run Des2K and Dev2K against 8.1.5 databases. I'm not sure what your problem is but I've appended some notes below. These are for Des6 and Dev6 but many of the same considerations apply to Des2K and Dev2K.

Oracle Designer/Developer 6.0
At this point I installed Oracle Designer. There are three parts to this. First install the client software on a client or on this machine. For now I chose a separate client. Then install the server software and create a repository database or a

repository schema in a database.  Finally configure the init.ora
parameters and registry entries if any changes are necessary.
Oracle Designer must install into an Oracle home named Orant.

C1	At the client go to control panel services and shut down
any Oracle services. In my case I shut down two Oracle WWWListenerADMIN and Oracle WWWListenerwebsvr. Then put in the Oracle Designer 6.0 CD-ROM and run an install. The name of the Oracle home is DEFAULT_HOME, the location is c:\ORANT. I chose a packaged install and selected the following packages: Analysis, Design and Generation - Generators for Oracle Developer - Object Extensions. I had to select whether I wanted version 7 or version 8 of SQL*Plus and Import/Export. I chose version 8. Then the installer started.
The install completed and I got a message that to have all the functionality I needed to install report builder 6.0.5.29.2 and form builder 6.0.5.29.4. These were not on the CD-ROM so I did nothing for the time being. Finally, I restarted the two services I had stopped and made sure SQL*Plus still worked and I could connect to my databases.
C2 On the server I changed the init.ora parameter open_cursors = 400. Then I bounced the database. I made sure the listener was started. I started SQL*Plus as sys and ran this script N:\oracle\ora815\rdbms\admin\catexp7. Then I created two tablespaces, one for tables and one for indexes: create tablespace DEV60_REPOS_TABLES
datafile 'N:\ORACLE\ORADATA\DBAV\DEV60_REPOS_TABLES01.DBF' size 100M default storage (initial 128K next 128K pctincrease 0);

create tablespace DEV60_REPOS_INDEXES
datafile 'N:\ORACLE\ORADATA\DBAV\DEV60_REPOS_INDEXES01.DBF' size 100M default storage (initial 128K next 128K pctincrease 0);

I created one large rollback segment for the install:

create tablespace INSTALL_DEV60
datafile 'N:\ORACLE\ORADATA\DBAV\INSTALL_DEV60.DBF' size 70M default storage (initial 256K next 256K pctincrease 0);

create rollback segment INSTALL_RBS_DEV60 tablespace INSTALL_DEV60
storage (initial 1M next 1M minextents 3 optimal 4M);

alter rollback segment INSTALL_RBS_DEV60 online;

Then I took the other rollback segments offline:

select segment_name, tablespace_name, status from dba_rollback_segs;
alter rollback segment xxx offline; (this turned out to be rollback segments RB0 and RB1)

Then I created a repository owner and granted connect and resource to him

create user DEV60 identified by DEV60
default tablespace DEV60_REPOS_TABLES
temporary tablespace TEMP;
grant connect, resource to DEV60;

C3 Now I moved back to the client and performed the next set of steps. First I logged onto the server from the client as sys using the SQL*Plus version 8. I ran
@c:\orant\repadm60\utl\ckrorole. Then I ran the following
individual SQL statements:

grant execute on dbms_lock to DEV60;
grant execute on dbms_pipe to DEV60;
grant select on dba_rollback_segs to DEV60; grant select on dba_segments to DEV60;
grant create sequence to DEV60;
grant create synonym to DEV60;
grant create table to DEV60;
grant des2000_owner to DEV60;

I closed SQL*Plus then ran start > programs > oracle designer r6.0 > repository administration utility. I connected as DEV60 / DEV60 / TDBAV. At this point I followed the steps starting on page 2.18 of the Designer Installation Guide. These steps check to see whether you have installed the necessary pieces successfully. I had to modify the registry entries for EXECUTE_IMPORT, EXECUTE_EXPORT and EXECUTE_PLUS_RAU as shown on page 2.20. After the checks while in the Install a Designer/2000 Repository Instance dialog box I pressed "Start". Many objects were created and actual data was imported from zipped files. I look at the log files from the install to see whether all had gone well.
C4 Finally there are the post-creation steps. I brought rollback segments RB0 and RB1 back online. I left the large INSTALL_RBS_DEV60 in place until I can find out whether it is useful. Then I used the repository administration utility to view objects and check whether any were disabled, invalid or missing. None was. I changed the init.ora parameter max_enabled_roles=50 then bounced the database. I ran two scripts to enable pinning in the shared pool:
@c:\orant\rdbms80\admin\dbmspool and
@c:\orant\rdbms80\admin\prvtpool.plb. Then I granted access to
DEV60:         grant execute on sys.dbms_shared_pool to DEV60;

I restarted the designer repository administration utility and checked that pinning worked by pressing the little pin symbol. All went OK. Finally, following the instructions on page 2.27 of the Designer installation manual I created a test application system.
C5 During the install of Oracle Designer, several pieces of Oracle Developer are installed. But not enough. If you try to do something as simple as running the Designer tutorial you will not be able to until you install Developer. Installing Developer is a two part process. First you install whatever pieces you don't already have from the Developer 6.0 CD-ROM. Then you install patches from the Developer 6.0 Patch 1 set CD-ROM.

        These are the pieces I installed from the Developer 6.0 CD-ROM

		JDK Applet Viewer 1.1.7.11o
		Oracle Developer Demos, Addons 6.0.5.1.3
		Oracle Developer Forms 6.0.5.0.2
