That is because you did not create SQL*Plus help tables/views (there is an
option when you create the database).
To enable it;
- Locate files named helpbld.sql (SQL*Plus help tables/views creation) and
helpus.sql (SQL*Plus help tables/views data).
- Login through SQL*Plus as SYSTEM
- run helpbld.sql and pass helpus.sql as its parameter (to load it)
Ex: sqlplus system/manager @helpbld.sql helpus.sql
