Hi,
I had some problem to install and connect to PO8. But not with JAVA (I have IE4 installed in my computer) Have a look at my earlier posted mesg.
Hope that will help.

Lynch,

Thanks! It worked!
But there is another problem I'm facing between Des2K and PO8 That is I'm unable to install the Repository. When I start the Repository Admin utility and try to install, it seems to try to import and that process is terminated with the following series of mesgs.

Connecte to Personal Oracle 8.0.3.0.0 production

Imp .....  Oracle error 942 encountered
............ Table or view does not exist
............ Import views not installed notify your DBA
............ Import terminated unsuccessfully.

Anybody has done this ?
Please help me

Subject: Re: PO8 connectivity with D2K under Windows95

Not so easy, eh. Took me a little while as well. Here's the source of the
problem:

D2K can only use the Oracle 2.3.x.x SQL-Net and protocol adapters. Why then
is net80 there then? Beats me! The only net8 component you'll use (or need)
is the listener. Therefore, you'll need to do a custom installation of SQL-Net 2.3.x.x. I believe its on the PO8 disk. Be sure to leave Net8 installed as well.

Here's how I did it. First setup your listener.ora under orawin95/net80/admin so that it reads as follows (notice I got rid of the
localhost hostname - it was causing me problems!): LISTENER =
  (ADDRESS LIST =

        (ADDRESS =

(PROTOCOL = TCP)
(Host = 127.0.0.1)
(Port = 1521)
)

  )
STARTUP WAIT TIME LISTENER = 0
CONNECT TIMEOUT LISTENER = 99
TRACE LEVEL LISTENER = ADMIN
SID LIST LISTENER =
  (SID LIST =
    (SID DESC =
      (SID NAME = ORCL)
    )
  )

Secondly, make sure that your HOSTS file (not HOSTS.SAM but HOSTS - duplicate
with no suffix) has the following:

127.0.0.1       localhost
127.0.0.1       lynch

In my case lynch is the name of my computer (under the identification tab in
the control panel - network settings). Change yours appropriately.

Run regedit and change
HKEY LOCAL MACHINE\SOFTWARE\ORACLE\LISTENER STARTUP TO
AUTO (FROM NOAUTO ORIGINALLY). This way your NET8 listener will startup automatically when you start PO8.

Edit your tnsnames.ora (for sql-net 2.3) under orawin95/network/admin so that
you have a TCP/IP connection to the corresponding Net8 listener. Here's the
respective lines from mine so you can follow along: lynchtcp.world =
  (DESCRIPTION =
    (ADDRESS LIST =

        (ADDRESS =

(COMMUNITY = tcp.world)
(PROTOCOL = TCP)
(Host = 127.0.0.1)
(Port = 1521)
)

    )
    (CONNECT DATA = (SID = ORCL)
    )
  )
You probably want to use SQL-Net Easy Config (for 2.3 - not 8!) to simplify
this task.

You should be able to make a connection via any 2.3 SQL-Net tools - this would include SQL-Plus 3.X and D2K anything (including 2.0!). This seems
odd
to me but it seems any older files are hard-coded in some way to only be able
to access SQL-Net 2.3.

You may have to hard-code your scripts so that they access this 2.3 connection as system/manager_at_lynchtcp (for example).

Anyway, its working great for me.

Please tell me how this works and do me the return favor of posting this to
the newsgroup so others can benefit from this as well. I don't have this
capability setup at the present time.

Thanks,

    today I tried to install on Oracle8 Database.     After Installing server I tried to configure database alias using 'SQL*Net8 Easy Config'.

    This program always gets an execption in JAVA.EXE.     We are using WinNT4.0 service pack 3.     Installed was the Internet Explorer 3.2.     Because we couldn't read online-docu we installed netscape 3.1:     Now java in documentation was better, but SQL*NET just ends in JAVA.EXE.     Do we have to install Client Software on this computer, too ?

    Greetings
