Test (Oracle) connection in connection manager failed in Cognos config

[twohis]

Hi,

I get the following error: Content Manager database connection]
1. [ ERROR ] The database connection failed.
2. [ ERROR ] Content Manager encountered an error while trying to verify the database configuration

user=cognos with dba privilege(to be sure)
My database is oracle10g defined on port 1522
I have copied ojdbc14.jar to cognos\c8\webapps\p2pd\WEB-INF\lib
My database characterset is: AL32UTF8

when starting then the task:testing content manager connection failed with the same error as above.

Even adding: ,classes12.jar and classes12.zip to cognos\c8\webapps\p2pd\WEB-INF\lib does not help

Any suggestion?

Thanks.

Twan.

Hi Cognos experts,

Can somebody plz help me, I am new in Cognos? I have read similar questions (on different sites) and applied the suggested solutions but nothing works sofar.

I have installed cognos 8.3 on a windows/xp/sp3 where oracle 10.2g is also installed.

Of course when I try to start the service it fails also.

Thanks.
