Oracle BI post-installation issues on Windows Server 2012 - oracle

I have installed Oracle BI and oracle 11g Database on Windows Server 2012 (physical machine).
Despite an initial error regarding OS certification, the installation completes successfully with all the Oracle BI components. But after this, the following issues arise:
Oracle BI Administration Tool does not show up after executing either BI Administration or directly firing admintool.exe under Oracle_BI1\bifoundation\server\bin
I'm not able to log-in in OBIEE but after restarting Oracle BI services, this is feasible.
When I log-in in OBIEE I cannot create new analysis or dashboard. After clicking 'New Analysis' or 'New Dashboard' no pop-up panel shows up.
Does anyone have any clue about any of the above?

The solution to all aforementioned issues was to set up Oracle BI as specs recommend to Windows Server 2008 R2 with the correct version of Java. After this none of the above problems occurred.

For number 3, unable to create a new analysis or dashboard, the issue may be related to your browser. Using Firefox instead of Chrome fixed the issue for me. For number 1, the administration tool worked for me, but did take a very long time to open.

Issue 2.
This is while using creation a data source for Cube development I was able to successfully connect using on of the logon details we commonly use for the database connection.
But after going and making changes to a query in DIM table in cube and select OK then this below error is fired. so I am unable to make changes inside a cube table.
Issue 3: When I am trying to run the report in Report Server which is connected to oracle Database this is error I am getting.
I don't know if these issues are all related or different from each other. I tried searching online and didn't find exact solution for all the problems.

Visual Studio 2015 with SSDS 17.4 (latest version)
Oracle 11.2.0

SSRS in SharePoint integrated mode - ORA-03135 when querying Oracle database

We have successfully installed SSRS in SharePoint integrated mode. We can run reports with data sources pointing to MS SQL database.
We need to add support for reports querying Oracle 12c database.
After the drivers installation we can create a data source with "Oracle Database" data source type. But when we try the "Test Connection" button, we always get the "ORA-03135: connection lost" error. Reports based on this data source always fail.
We use these versions: SharePoint 2016, MSSQL 2016, Oracle 12c.
Did anybody come across this error? How did you solve it?
Thanks.
We had to install an Oracle patch to ODAC drivers. After installation of the patch we got rid from this error.
Most likely the error was raising because of the Oracle Advanced Security option.

how to manage oracle db (XE) service under windows

It happened the 2nd time that after a windows update the oracle db services disappeared from services dialog in windows. The last time i just reinstalled oracle db (version 11.2.).
If i google about it i always findthat i should start "DBCA":
Programs, Oracle - home_name, Configuration and Migration Tools, and
then Database Configuration Assistant
But i can't find neither the link in start menu nor a dbca.exe nor any hint where i can download it.
So how to reinstall the oracle db services?

Oracle Data Access Components and Visual Studio connection problems

I've created an empty console application in Visual Studio 2010 and I'm attempting to add an Oracle (10g XE ) Data Connection via the Server Explorer. I'm using Oracle ODP .NET as the connector and I get the following error:
ORA-12560: TNS: Protocol Adapter Error
I can access Oracle without issue via the web interface or a console, but continually get this generic connection error in VS. I'm using the default installation of Oracle XE and running it locally.
Any suggestion on how to get this set up correctly ? Every tutorial I find works on the understanding that this connection succeeds. As such I'm struggling to find where to begin to troubleshoot. I'm comfortable with VS2010, but new to the way Oracle does things with their DB.
EDIT 1
While troubleshooting I've found this only happens with the Oracle Data Provider for .NET. Using the .NET Framework Data Provider for Oracle I am able to successfully connect.
EDIT 2
I cleaned up everything and installed 11g XE and the ODAC tools again and continue to get the same message. I realize the error is somewhat generic, I'd be happy to post more information if anyone thinks it helpful. The database is run locally, I can't imagine what kind of 'configuration' an express database would even need...
EDIT 3
The ODAC tools appear to install a 'production' version of Oracle 11 instead of the BETA version that I installed first. Almost appears as if the tool is installing another database ? I also appear to have two ORACLE_BASE locations and two TNSNAMES in what appear to be very similar folder hierarchies. Perhaps a more straightforward tutorial is the answer, Oracle's isn't very descriptive.
Oracle 10g XE seemed to be the problem. A full install of 11g (Full, not Express) took care of the problem entirely.
From here:
Possible fixes for the TNS-12560
include:
Get the latest patches for the SQL*Net client software.
Check your $ORACLE_HOME and $Path variables.
Check File permissions on the PC client.
Ensure that TNS_ADMIN is set correctly.
Check for firewall issues.
Check that the Windows database service is started. Verify teh
ORACLE_SID parameter is set correctly
in the registry.
Wow. I finally got this syntax to work.
I'm a Sql Server guy. I used Oracle back in the da day.
But I'm trying to do some Entity Framework and I said "You're not going to bed until you get Visual Studio 2012 and a edmx file to talk to Oracle.
Geeze.
Here is what I came up with:
Data Source:
Oracle Database (Oracle ODP.NET)
Data Source Name:
localhost:1521/orcl
User Name:
SYSTEM
change the default data source name to localhost.
