Websphere Initialization problem

[Khurram Fakhar]

Hi friends,
I m new to websphere . Just need to deploy a project on websphere / Oracle from Tomcat/SQL .
I have Websphere 4.0.1. Oracle 8i. I intall it and configured it . but when there are some problems going on in basic initialization.
1 - In Administrative Console I cant see the left navigation. (Is it some installation problem or something else ?)
2- From Samples when i hit Sample EJB then it generate an error in the log which says, Too many cursors open.
Kindly give any hint asap. and send me the URL of the configuration of WebSphere with Oracle.
I'll be highly boliged in this regard ..
Thanks

Increase the cursors at Oracle level. In the initSID.ora, increase the number of cursors to 200(at least), then restart the oracle instance. Start the WAS admin server.

in other words, if your SID is orcl, look in ORACLE_INSTALL_FOLDER/database/initorcl.ora and add the line:
open_cursors=200
if it is not already there.
Good luck.
