How do I start DBASSIST

[nontrad]

I am on a Sun workstation w/ Unix and Oracle 8.1.6.

I was shown once how to start DBASSIST to create a new database but can't remember how. I just don't know enough about UNiX to be able to start this. Can anyone help?

I am usually in BASH but can switch to another shell if necessary. Besides my own username, I do have permission to get to root plus full DBA privilege.

More info.......

see the section below for what I get when I try to execute DBASSIST


bash-2.03$ dbassist
Xlib: connection to "hao:0.0" refused by server
Xlib: Client is not authorized to connect to Server
java.lang.NullPointerException
at oracle.ewt.lwAWT.BufferedFrame._init(Compiled Code)
at oracle.ewt.lwAWT.BufferedFrame.<init>(Compiled Code)
at DBCreateWizard.main(Compiled Code)

Is there something I have to do network-wise? Is that my problem?

Does the same thing happen if you are logged in as one of the
members of the dba group? Jim

oracle, vb

My userid IS part of the DBA group! I've even tried doing this at root level. I'm using the same computer as my predecessor. I saw her do this and a GIU screen came up. I can't duplicate it though and she's now gone.

The message &quot;Xlib: connection to &quot;hao:0.0&quot; refused by server&quot; looks like an X Windows message to me, rather than an Oracle message.

Are you on the same workstation as the one where you saw this program running? Mike

Email welcome if you're in a hurry or something -- but post in tek-tips as well please, and I will post my reply here as well.

Yes. It's the same one. I'll check around some of the X Windows people tomorrow.
