Re: Oracle Install Major Problem

You don't give details about what happened. Many people have trouble installing Designer because it MUST install into the directory named orant. If you've already got another Oracle product in that directory you're out of luck. Below are the steps used to install Designer 6 against an 8.1.5 database where both client and server are running NT. The installation manual from Oracle that comes with Designer is quite good.

Van

C1 At the client go to control panel services and shut down anyOracle 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. 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
  Oracle Developer Procedure Builder 6.0.5.0.0   Oracle Developer Project Builder 6.0.5.7.0   Oracle Developer Schema Builder 6.0.5.6.0   Oracle Developer Trans Builder 6.0.3.0.3   Oracle Developer Reports Express Support 6.0.5.11.0   Oracle Express Connection Editor 6.2.0.0.1   Oracle Developer Database Tables 6.0.2.0.0h   Oracle Developer Graphics Graphics Builder 6.0.5.8.0   Oracle Developer Graphics Cue Card Sound 6.0.5.6.0   Oracle Developer Reports Builder 6.0.5.28.0   Oracle Developer Reports Cue Card Sound Files 6.0.5.6.0 (this failed)  These are the pieces I installed from the Developer 6.0 patchset 1 CD-ROM  GUI Common Files 6.0.5.29.0
 JDK Applet Viewer 1.1.7.15o
 Oracle Developer Database Tables 6.0.5.29.0  Oracle Developer Forms 6.0.5.29.4 (but not the web cartridge)  Oracle Developer Graphics 6.0.5.29.1 (but not graphics server)  Oracle Developer Procedure Builder 6.0.5.29.0  Oracle Developer Reports 6.0.5.29.2 (but not multitier server and not thin client)
 Oracle Jinitiator 1.1.7.15.1o
 Require Support Files 8.0.5.1.0c
 Tools Utilities 6.0.5.29.2
