Database Configuration Assistant

I installed Oracle9i Release 2. I have a problem with creating a database. If I launch Database Conf Assistant from Start menu, nothing is doing... I don't know why. If I launch file "G:\bin\launch.exe G:\\assistants\dbca dbca.cl", G:\ - is OraHome, it is the same result - nothing is running. Paths in file dbca.cl are correct. Maybe there are worng jre files, but they are original with Oracle9i. In Oracle 8i it was without problems. How can I create new database now? Could someone help me, please ? If you need some conf files from me, just let me know. Thank you.

What platform ??
Was the installation successfull...?
if on unix was the linking successful...?

can you run sqlplus or any other executable without error ??

Platform - Win 2000 Pro.
Yes, all application run correct... Enterprise Manager Console, SQLPlus, ... Installation was successful.

After the installation did you install something else also....

just check the PATH variable... move the ORACLE_HOME path to the begining...

try running the launch.exe from the command prompt... and check if it shows any errors

I don't know... i'm angry. I reinstalled once my system and oracle 9i three times...
always the same state... nothing is doing by launching DB CA.
I did all what you said me. nothing new.

Is it possible to create database with other tool ? if I want create it throw repository the same.. nothing

are u connecting from the oracle unix user ?
it may happen if u try from some other unix user . check the ORACLE_HOME . u can use a create database comand instead of dbca utility .

Have you insatlled any other Oracle products? If so make sure your ORACLE_HOME is set to the base 9i install.

Also do you get any errors when you attempt the following from a command window

Code:

---

C:\>dbca -help

---

And yes, you can create a database without using dbca

Regards

C:\>dbca -help
When I run C:\dbca -help

... and could you tell me how can I create a new database without DBCA ? Thank you.

If I launch just c:\dbca
it's the same exception...

and

I am not an unix user, I don't have installed any other Oracle product and I think that Oracle home is ok.

remove the classpath enrty if its there... (copy the path to notepad)

change the Path and let only the default path and oracle home path be there...

then start dbca

Better option :)

CLASSPATH=""
PATH="G:\bin"

oracle home is g:\

after "dbca" runnig throws the same exception
