Hi,
Welcome to B :mrgreen: B :!:

Do you mean that you cannot restart your Oracle DB in your laptop ?
What do you mean exactly by “not responding” ?

Hi rsekar,

Since you have installed Oracle client so it is not responding, I think you should have to install Oracle server in your laptop.Create a new db then you can access.

The DB you try to access is in your laptop or in another server ?

As said resekar, Oracle client is only used to connect to an existing DB. You have to install Oracle server in your laptop and create a DB.

Hi,
First of all you have install a oracle server in your laptop and then create a database in the oracle.Then you install BO and configure the bomain key using oracle db. :slight_smile:

As far as I know, Oracle 8i is not supported under Windows XP. 9i works well though. Just a thought for a starting point.
