Error mapping function in external procedure call

I'm trying to create an external procedure in PL/SQL8.1 to run an operating system command from within a PL/SQL block.
The C function couldn't be simpler:
extern void host_command(char *command)
(void)system(command);
It's even ignoring the return value of SYSTEM!
I've generated what I THINK is a shared object file and copied it to $ORACLE_HOME/lib/host_command.so
I've then done CREATE LIBRARY HOST_COMMAND_LIB as '...'
Then I created a PL/SQL procedure:
CREATE PROCEDURE SHELL(IP_COMMAND IN VARCHAR2)
AS
LANGUAGE C
NAME "host_command"
LIBRARY HOST_COMMAND_LIB
PARAMETERS (IP_COMMAND);
And then EXEC SHELL ('touch /tmp/fred')
That's when ORA-6521 is raised.
I am running Oracle8.1.7.4.0 on AIX 4.3
Am I missing something?
Any suggestions will be thankfully received.

Thanks.
In fact, using the supplied makefile in $ORACLE_HOME/plsql/demo and MAKING SURE THAT THE .SO IS EXECUTABLE(!) works.

ORA-06521: PL/SQL: Error mapping function with 10.1.0 external procedure

We have an external procedure running fine on 8.1.7 on VMS. After compiling and linking succesfully under 10.1.0, I get ORA-06521 PL/SQL: Error mapping function and ORA-06522: ERROR - vms_dlsym for file x, where x in the filename of the linked executable. Another external procedure that does not connect to the 10.1.0 database runs fine. What could be causing this error in Server 10.1.0 on VMS?
Thanks,
Dave

Here is the code to create the function:
CREATE OR REPLACE FUNCTION f1
(h_file_name IN VARCHAR2)
RETURN BINARY_INTEGER
IS EXTERNAL
LIBRARY l1
NAME "f1"
LANGUAGE C
WITH CONTEXT
PARAMETERS
(CONTEST,
h_file_name string);
Here is the beginning of the Pro*C:
int f1(epctx, h_file_name)
OCIExtProcContext *epctx;
char h_file_name[70];
char h_line_txt [251];
int lineno;
FILE *fptr;
/* register the connection context ... */
EXEC SQL REGISTER CONNECT USING :epctx;
The function loads a flat file into the database. It is probably not related but are unable to SQLPLUS/ or SQLLDR/ into the database from an OS autheniticated account (get ORA-12547: TNS:lost contact.) Thanks for taking the time to look at this. There aren't many people trying this on VMS, I'd bet.

Call to ldap server fails ORA-06521: PL/SQL: Error mapping function

I am getting this error(s)

Line 127 is:

Both of the 'my_xx' parameters have been successfully set earlier in the script I believe as they produce no errors and DBMS_LDAP.count_entries(my_session, my_message) returns = 1.
I am following the example at:
http://download-west.oracle.com/docs/cd/B10501_01/network.920/a96577/smplcode.htm#636994
In fact any of the functions used in the 'while loop' in the above example give a similar error.
Apparently SYS.DBMS_LDAP_API_FFI is a call to an external C program, but this would be a standard Oracle one, not one I have written.
I am connecting to a non-Oracle ldap server, and have tried several (OpenLDAP 2.X, & Windows 2000 AD), with same results.
Any suggestions gratefully received.
Cheers

Fixed by running the catldap.sql script (ORACLE_HOME/rdbms/admin/catldap.sql) as SYS user and recreated the dbms_ldap packages. I am not sure why some of the functions worked OK and others did not.

Please help.

Hi Libin,
Can you please explain to me the parameters that you put in the Global Preferences, the LDAP_port,LDAP_user,and the others, because I don�t know where I need to search in the server this parameters and I don�t understand su much of OID.
if you can give to me and little description of that parameters,this would thank for much.
anticipated thanks

ERROR MAPPING FUNCTION

Hi All,
I've created a library and mapped it to the operating system directory(UNIX/AIX), and created a procedure that calls my C program through pl/sql, but I keep getting error
message (06521)Error mapping function. I have void datatype return values from my C program no calling parameters and it does return data when executed by itself. I've tested the directory path that I defined in my create library statement and, I believe It's reaching the C program in the said directory, but I recieve no data through the pl/sql program. TM states, as of oracle8 we can access external C,pascal,etc.. files.I'm assuming that this access can be achieved programmatically.
Am I overlooking something?
Thank you very much for your help!!

<BLOCKQUOTE><font size="1" face="Verdana, Arial">quote:</font><HR>Originally posted by Pankaj Choudhery ([email protected]):
parameters are not the same in pl/sql & C function<HR></BLOCKQUOTE>
Thanks for your reply Panka,
I think you're right there on the problem.
I too believe that the problem lies between the conversion of the datasources between the two languages.
I'm using oracle8's default external procedure datatype,to bridge the gap between the pl/sql code and the C parameters. By the Book its -- Varchar2(plsql) = STRING(external type) = C program(*char)...etc. There seems to be more to it than the book is explaining would you perhaps know of any other documentation sources?
Thanks again...

Scott,
Thanks for your concern. I should have explained. I am working in HTMLdb, successfully using ldap to authenticate, but now need to get the logged-in user's name and other details. All my attemps to use the wwv_flow_ldap functions have failed, and I am no resorting to DBMS_LDAP to get what I want. I am hoping thatsome helpful person can shed some light on this problem

Your issue may relate to XE and it may relate to OCI but it does not relate to SQL and PL/SQL. Consider posting your question in a forum where it will be on topic.
When you do include full version information (3 decimal places) and the code that is generating the exception.

It's only a quick guess but have you checked your tnsnames.ora file to ensure you've opened the environment to find the libraries? If you set the EXTPROC_DLLS=ANY, you open the database to security issues but it should tell you if this cause because you can't access the library that contains the symbol.

The "X" in the second registerOutParameter is the type name which
you have created in oracle DB.
eg. if you have created a nested table
create Type integer_table is table of number(10);
then "X" = "INTEGER_TABLE" and it has to be in caps
and other thing to keep in mind is that it only works with nested
table or varray and not with pl/sql table.

External procedure calls supported?

Are external procedure calls supported? Should be, right?
I didn't find anything in the documentation and the directory $ORACLE_HOME/rdbms/extproc doesn't exist either.
But the binary $ORACLE_HOME/bin/extproc is there.
Thanks,
~Dietmar.

Hi Sven,
you have beaten me again ;). I'm too slow.
"Any errors that occur during the execution of the
job will be returned as errors to the RUN_JOB
procedure."True, when the job cannot be executed, a plsql exception is raised.
I just don't get the exit code back. If something goes wrong inside the executable, I want to be able to detect that. Usually the called script sets an exit code for that purpose.
>>How do I get a handle on the LOG_ID?
Are they any public variable in dbms_scheduler. e.q.
LastLogID ;-) ?No, I 've checked the package. But the exit code doesn't seem to be logged either. error# in USER_SCHEDULER_JOB_RUN_DETAILS is 0, even when the exit code is set to non-zero.
See the following sample:
File: error_throw.cmd
exit /b 1I have checked that the exit code handling works using this script:
@echo off
call error_throw.cmd
IF ERRORLEVEL 3 GOTO errhandler
IF ERRORLEVEL 2 goto errhandler
IF ERRORLEVEL 1 goto errhandler
echo "successful run"
goto end
:ERRHANDLER
echo errorlevel

ORA-06521: PL/SQL: Error mapping function

Hi folks,
I am trying to run gather_table_stats for a particular table but am getting the below error. Any ideas?
SQL> execute DBMS_STATS.gather_table_stats( ownname=>'DBO',tabname=>'CD_JOURNAL_CHANGE_REG',method_opt=>'FOR ALL INDEXED COLUMNS',cascade=>TRUE);
BEGIN DBMS_STATS.gather_table_stats( ownname=>'DBO',tabname=>'CD_JOURNAL_CHANGE_REG',method_opt=>'FOR ALL INDEXED COLUMNS',cascade=>TRUE); END;
ERROR at line 1:
ORA-06521: PL/SQL: Error mapping function
ORA-06512: at "SYS.DBMS_STATS", line 10301
ORA-06512: at "SYS.DBMS_STATS", line 10315
ORA-06512: at line 1
I have runt utlrp.sql as sys but with no avail.
Kindest Regards,
Will

You did not mention if the applicable table contains an ADT columns, nested tables and so on.
You can also do a basic test to determine if the problem is potentially with the table, or with dbms_stats itself. Create a plain table, e.g.
create table foo( id number, foo_char varchar2(100), constraint pk_foo primary key( id ) using index );
Using the exact same dbms_stats parameters, do this table. If it works, it points to a potential problem with the other table - some data structure/data type issue maybe. If it does not, then you have a problem with dbms_stats itself.
You can also drop the indexes on the DBO table and try dbms_stats with different parameters. I.e. change the conditions to see if the error still occur in order to isolate the problem.
You also could log an iTar/SR for this with Oracle Support.

ORA-06521: PL/SQL: Error mapping function while writting into a text file

Hi,
I'm getting an errror ORA-06521: PL/SQL: Error mapping function while trying to write data into a text file.
I'm using the following code:
--To create a new directory
create or replace directory temp as 'C:/temp';
declare
                l_str varchar2(1000);
                output_file utl_file.file_type;
                cursor test_write_cur is
                     select EMPNO,ENAME,JOB,SAL,HIREDATE
                       from EMP
                     where DEPTNO=30;
begin
           output_file := utl_file.fopen('TEMP','TESTFILE.txt','w');
           for test_write_rec IN test_write_cur
           loop
            l_str :=     test_write_rec.EMPNO||'^'||test_write_rec.ENAME||'^'||test_write_rec.JOB||'^'||
                     test_write_rec.HIREDATE||'^'||test_write_rec.SAL||chr(10);
            utl_file.put_line(output_file,l_str);
                 end loop;
           utl_file.fclose(output_file);
end;Please suggest me if i'm wrong.
Thanks & Regards,
Sanket Mishra

Dear Sanket,
I think you are need use TO_CHAR() function
to_char(test_write_rec.EMPNO) ,
to_char(test_write_rec.HIREDATE,'DD.MM.YYYY')
to_char(test_write_rec.SAL)
