Hello,
[Quoted] [Quoted] I am a complete novice to Oracle and Discoverer and I am having difficulties setting up Discoverer 4.1 on a Windows 2000 PC.
I have tried a couple of approaches.
1. I installed Oracle 8i Enterprise Edition for Windows NT and
connected to the standard database through SQL Plus using the
SYSTEM/MANAGER login. But when I tried to install Discoverer 4.1, I
got the message:
"The location specified c:\oracle\ora81 is already used as an Oracle
home for 'Oracle 815 Production'. It cannot be used as an Oracle home
for 'nt'".
I saw from this newsgroup that people had a similar problem in the
past. I tried the suggestion of changing the home directory in regedit
and went on to install Discoverer. But when I tried run SQL Plus, I
got the error:
"Message file SP1<lang>.msb not found"
And when I try to run the Administration Edition of Discoverer, I get
the error:
"Failed to Connect to database - ORA-12203: TNS: unable to connect to
destination"
2. On a different PC, I installed Discoverer 4.1 first and when I tried to install Oracle 8i, I got a similar message about the Oracle directory already being used.
Now before I go any further there are a couple of very basic questions, I would like to ask:
- WHEN YOU INSTALL DISCOVERER, DO YOU ALSO HAVE TO INSTALL ORACLE OR
IS THERE A STANDARD DATABASE THAT COMES WITH THE INSTALLATION OF
DISCOVERER 4.1?
I tried connecting by running SQL Plus 8.0 (and through Discoverer
Administration) and logging in as SYSTEM, but I get the error:
"Failed to connect to database .........etc." again.
- CAN YOU INSTALL DISCOVERER 4.1 AND ORACLE 8i ENTERPRISE EDITION TOGETHER ON A WINDOWS 2000 PC? AND IF SO, HOW? i.e in which sequence, etc.
As I said, I'm a complete novice so I apologise for my naivety, but I don't know anyone who knows anything about Discoverer.
