Hello

J install this new version, on windows with new AWM (10.2) bundled (DB and client install).
For the training J use guide and data demo from otn.
But on my laptop all working ok.
J used template included in data demo - ok.
J don't save the template, don't use language option.
Finally J created full AWM and agregate data.
My installation:
laptop (512 MB RAM, XP SP2)

Its on the client CD.

Thx,

First i tried to install 10.2 into existing 10.1 home, but unfortunately something went, wrong... (oracle service won't start up) so i ran the uninstall. Yes, it was horibbly slow and javaw.exe process utilized 100% CPU, but eventually it completed succesfully. After that i tried a fresh installation, but it did not complete succesfully - it spit out an error dialog saying it couldn't find procedure entry point in orannzsbb10.dll

Now i' m going to uninstall anything Oracle related, delete any files left, clear the registry and try again....

3rd try was the lucky one. i managed to install Oracle 10.2 with no errors. AWM 10.2 seems to be faster, more responsive than 10.10.4. I created some dimensions, cubes, mappings and loaded some test data into the cubes. All of that worked just fine.
I'll try to import my 10.1.0.4 XML templates and load some more data, to see if there are real improvements in speed and disk space saving.

Mark, glad its not just me!

One thing - even though I do not have any other version of the database installed, I do have some of the Express software (OES634, client tools, etc.) installed in a separate home. This probably shouldn't make a diff, but as soon as I get some free time (going to be a week or so...) I'll try uninstalling them first.

Let us know how your re-install goes.

Thx,

Ok, I've worked out a resolution for this now. You need to make sure you install the XML Developer Kit 10.2.0.1.0 on the Client CD, along with Analytic Workspace Manager and Worksheet 10.2.0.1.0, for the latter to work properly. This is because AWM requires the SAXParser that comes with the XML Developer Kit to parse the model view, and when this is not present, it cannot display the model view or allow you to create dimensions, load template files and so on.

As background, I initially installed the Windows version of 10.2 into a new Oracle Home, and did a custom install of the client into another new Oracle Home, installing just the database utilities, AWM + Worksheet, SQL*Plus, Enterprise Manager Java Console and SQL*Net. The installs went OK, but when I tried to use AWM, I encountered the issues described in my previous posts.

I then reformatted my laptop, installed Windows XP SP2 (as before), installed just Oracle 10.2 and client CD (with the same options), and had the same issues again.

Thinking it might be a Windows issue, I created a VMWare virtual machine running White Box Linux 4, installed the Linux x86 version of 10.2 and the client into the Linux installation, and had the same problems again - so it obviously wasn't a Windows issue. However, when I launched AWM from the console, you could see the java stack trace that was being emitted when AWM was used and failed to open the AW using the model view, and it was showing the following error message (snipped)

java.lang.NoClassDefFoundError: oracle/xml/parser/v2/SAXParser
at oracle.XWXML.AW.readAWDefinitionsClob(AW.java:2783)
etc...

Which lead me to believe that it was trying to use the SAX XML parser that came with the XML Developer Kit install on the client CD. When I installed this, AWM (both the Windows and Linux versions) could connect OK to the Linux installation of 10.2, and show the model view, import template files and so forth with no problem. I haven't tried connecting these "fixed" versions of AWM to a Windows 10.2 installation yet, but I would imagine that it will work ok as the issue is a "client" issue.

Anyway, hope this helps.

regards

Mark

Mark - I've tested your suggestion out, and this works 100%. Hopefully Oracle can just add a simple dependancy on the install to make sure XML Dev kit is installed when AWM is.

Thanks!
