Issue with repository creation of BO 6.1

server administration Web Intelligence 6.x Servers
#1

Hi,

I have installed BO 6.1 on a Windows 2003 machine.
I am trying to build the repository on oracle 8 using the supervisor module.
The schema is created and contains no tables.
I have ran the supervisor and created the Supervisor user, and in the next step I have to select oracle as my network layer, but somehow nothing appears on the drop down.
Oracle client 8i is already installed.
I cannot supply database credentials until this is visible.
Can someone suggest a solution?

thanks
nikhil

Sounds like you may have a corrupt install. Did you install BO after installing Oracle?

have you checked, if you still have old documents if windows 2003 and oracle 8 were supported platforms ?

Ok, are you certain that you selected Oracle as a data access provider when you installed the software, and that your license key includes it?

I dont think I had a step to select oracle as databse during install.
This is the step on which i am currently stuck and its not showing in drop down.
I have copied the tnsnames.ora and sqlnet.ora files

thanks

During the software installation, in which you select the components to install, there is a section for Data Access Providers. This includes, Oracle, ODBC, and others.
