Linking variable and procedure

hi,
how to assign a value to the odi variable which is returned by a sql statement which written in the source tab of odi procedure ?
Regards,
Sai.

I've just done this.
Im calling startscen.sh from ebiz via concurrant request, passing variables to the ODI procedure.
Variables in this case are a mix of Alphanumeric and Int.
reference variables in ODI Procedure using #variable_name.
Drag variable to package, set to declare (dont use set!). Link to procedure. Cut scenario. Job done.
We also have other variables with refresh SQL behind them (to get last ETL date for example) and simply use refresh variable on the package canvas, i've read good practice to declare them first in the package but from my testing this isnt strictly required.
Hope this helps.

Diff char in variable and procedure call

I understand the difference between Char en Varchar. What I don't understand is the different behaviour of Char when assigning a plain variable and when assigning a procedure call variable. I've created this sample code:
declare
v char;
procedure t (i char) as
begin
    if i = ' ' then
      dbms_output.put_line('ok');
    else
      dbms_output.put_line('else');
    end if;
end;
begin
v := '';
t('');
t(' ');
t(null);
t(v);
end;
else
ok
else
ok
PL/SQL-procedure is geslaagd.The first (t('')) call and last (t(v)) call I think should result in the same answer, but apearantly, when v is assigned, a space is passed into the variable (sounds correct according to documentation), but when i is directly assigned, a null is assigned, rather than a space.
Does anyone know what the explanation is for this behaviour?
Thanx,
Lennert
ps, I'm not looking for a solution or a work around, I'm just interested in the background.
pps, I'm running O8174 on HPUX

x CHAR;
It's default length is one but if you don't assign a value, it's value is null and its length is null. The empty string ('') is not null, so the assignment x := '' will assign a value of space, since PL/SQL pads with spaces to fill the length.
PROCEDURE test is
x char;
BEGIN
dbms_output.put_line('x = >' || x || '< , the length of x is: ' || to_char(length(x)));
x := null;
dbms_output.put_line('x = >' || x || '< , the length of x is: ' || to_char(length(x)));
x := '';
dbms_output.put_line('x = >' || x || '< , the length of x is: ' || to_char(length(x)));
dbms_output.put_line(to_char(ascii(x)));
x := ' ';
dbms_output.put_line('x = >' || x || '< , the length of x is: ' || to_char(length(x)));
END test;
SQL> execute test.proc1
x = >< , the length of x is:
x = >< , the length of x is:
x = > < , the length of x is: 1
32
x = > < , the length of x is: 1

Variable and procedure

hi,
I am sure we can call a datbase procedure in a ODI procedure and we can pass odi variables as input variables to that procedure.In the same way i think it is possible to retrive the value returned by a procedure to odi variable if any one aware of how to achieve this plz help me out.
Regards,
Sai.

thanks for the reply , but there is a problem with it,if we use that we need to create a package in the database which is not suitable in my case.
So, plz help me out if u have any idea of doing it with out creating a back end package.
Thanks,
Sai.

Linked tables, stored procedures, and locking

I'm working on an interface between two Oracle systems. I don't know if they're on the same server or not, but they are definitely two different database instances. The plan for this interface is that when a record is created on one of the systems, it will call a stored procedure on the other system to create the record there as well. I believe the relevant information will be passed via parameters to the stored procedure (not by querying the data in the first system). The ID number created on the second system gets passed back to the first system via an output parameter.
A concern was raised about whether something like this might cause "rev-locking". Similar issues were raised on a different interface, but that interface used a linked table between the two systems. The original design for that interface had a stored procedure initiated from the second system, and it was to update data via the linked table in the first system. But this caused some locking issues. So a different interface was written, that only used the linked table as read-only.
So the question is, do stored procedure calls between linked databases have the same issues as updates directly to linked tables? And a better question is, is there a document or white paper out there somewhere that describes the locking issues between linked databases, and presenting the "best practices" for this type of coding?
Any help is appreciated!

So the question is, do stored procedure calls between linked databases have the same issues as updates directly to linked tables? I'm not aware of any issues with updates across databases. can you post a more detail version of what exact issues did you encounter when updating tables across database using database links?
when you update a row in a table, from the same database or another one, a lock on that row will be placed for the duration of the transaction. Others will be able to read that row but not update it till the end of the local (or the remote) transaction.
What issue(s) did you encounter?

If I get a user to enter their name as a variable and I am linking one movie to another using a button, is there a way to carry the user name forward into the second movie?

SubVersion in SQL Developer - how to link to packages and procedures

My question is this - I am starting out using SubVersion in Oracle and it seems pretty straightforward to use as a source control for files that are stored in a Windows directory, that is the only way I have used it so far.
Am I able to use it to control packages and procedures that I have saved as part of my database, ie the procedures are part of a package and the package appears within the Packages section of the appropriate connection in SQL Developer.
I hope this makes sense.
Cheers,
JabJam

Hi JabJam,
So far, everyone is correct. SQL Developer just uses a file-based source control system (e.g., SVN), which means updating database object definitions via scripts under version control, or somehow exporting the new definition to a script so it can be version controlled after the fact. And wouldn't it be nice if the database objects could be version controlled directly. With the database developer having control over when any changes are committed for shared use in the database. Similar to using the SVN plug-in for an IDE like Eclipse for a given programming language in a shared development environment.
But what would your DBA have to say about that? Don't most DBAs require scripts for deploying code or structural changes?
In Oracle, definitions (DDL) are committed automatically. Anyone granted access sees them. Since you probably don't do development directly against a production database, eventually scripts (either manual or generated) will be needed for deployment to QA or production. Few mechanisms currently exist to work against an active database without other authorized users also seeing these changes.
For DDL, the closest thing would be the fairly recent edition-based redefinition feature in 11g (R2, I think). For DML, the OWM (Oracle Workspace Management) feature would be loosely analogous.
This is not a simple issue. Version control via an extension for Subversion provides essential basic support. Going beyond that might mean watching the evolution of edition-based redefinition, but DBAs would probably require scripts for that too.

I find it ABSOLUTELY unacceptable that since recently safari opens up random "commercial websites" without me clicking on any link. And it does that without allowing me to go (back) to the site I really clicked on. STOP THAT!!!!!!

There is no need to download anything to solve this problem. You may have installed a variant of the "VSearch" ad-injection malware. Follow Apple Support's instructions to remove it.
If you have trouble following those instructions, see below.
Malware is always changing to get around the defenses against it. This procedure works as of now, as far as I know. It may not work in the future. Anyone finding this comment a few days or more after it was posted should look for a more recent discussion, or start a new one.
The VSearch malware tries to hide itself by varying the names of the files it installs. To remove it, you must first identify the naming pattern.
Triple-click the line below on this page to select it, then copy the text to the Clipboard by pressing the key combination command-C:
/Library/LaunchDaemons
In the Finder, select
          Go ▹ Go to Folder...
from the menu bar and paste into the box that opens by pressing command-V. You won't see what you pasted because a line break is included. Press return.
A folder named "LaunchDaemons" may open. Look inside it for two files with names of the form
          com.something.daemon.plist
and
           com.something.helper.plist
Here something is a variable string of characters, which can be different in each case. So far it has always been a string of letters without punctuation, such as "cloud," "dot," "highway," "submarine," or "trusteddownloads." Sometimes it's a meaningless string such as "e8dec5ae7fc75c28" rather than a word. Sometimes the string is "apple," and then you must be especially careful not to delete the wrong files, because many built-in OS X files have similar names.
If you find these files, leave the LaunchDaemons folder open, and open the following folder in the same way:
/Library/LaunchAgents
In this folder, there may be a file named
          com.something.agent.plist
where the string something is the same as before.
If you feel confident that you've identified the above files, back up all data, then drag just those three files—nothing else—to the Trash. You may be prompted for your administrator login password. Close the Finder windows and restart the computer.
Don't delete the "LaunchAgents" or "LaunchDaemons" folder or anything else inside either one.
The malware is now permanently inactivated, as long as you never reinstall it. You can stop here if you like, or you can remove two remaining components for the sake of completeness.
Open this folder:
/Library/Application Support
If it has a subfolder named just
           something
where something is the same string you saw before, drag that subfolder to the Trash and close the window.
Don't delete the "Application Support" folder or anything else inside it.
Finally, in this folder:
/System/Library/Frameworks
there may an item named exactly
            v.framework
It's actually a folder, though it has a different icon than usual. This item always has the above name; it doesn't vary. Drag it to the Trash and close the window.
Don't delete the "Frameworks" folder or anything else inside it.
If you didn't find the files or you're not sure about the identification, post what you found.
If in doubt, or if you have no backups, change nothing at all.
The trouble may have started when you downloaded and ran an application called "MPlayerX." That's the name of a legitimate free movie player, but the name is also used fraudulently to distribute VSearch. If there is an item with that name in the Applications folder, delete it, and if you wish, replace it with the genuine article from mplayerx.org.
This trojan is often found on illegal websites that traffic in pirated content such as movies. If you, or anyone else who uses the computer, visit such sites and follow prompts to install software, you can expect more of the same, and worse, to follow. Never install any software that you downloaded from a bittorrent, or that was downloaded by someone else from an unknown source.
In the Security & Privacy pane of System Preferences, select the General tab. The radio button marked Anywhere should not be selected. If it is, click the lock icon to unlock the settings, then select one of the other buttons. After that, don't ignore a warning that you are about to run or install an application from an unknown developer.
Then, still in System Preferences, open the App Store or Software Update pane and check the box marked
          Install system data files and security updates (OS X 10.10 or later)
or
          Download updates automatically (OS X 10.9 or earlier)
if it's not already checked.

Variables and Actions in Adobe Acrobat Connect Pro

Hello Gurus,
I have been searching different forums around the net for three days, so I am really frustrated since I cant find anything related to this, and I am even thinking if this is really possible.
I'll try to explain what I wanted to make. I am using Captivate 4 and publishing my content through Adobe Acrobat Connect Pro server. I want to use this "Variables and Actions" Feature of my current version of Captivate. Now, I want that when my user open a training which she is enrolled with, I want her name to appear on the content, like "Hello Irish" something like that, without requiring her to log on her name. How could I make use this variables and actions in captivate 4 to get automatically the "first-name" variable of my user in Adobe Acrobat Connect Pro of my user?
Is this possible guys?
Thanks.
Troy

Hi,
I am looking at Connect Pro right now, and as I can see it on its default page it displays the name and lastname of the logged user, moreover, there is a part where you could either invite existing user, or create existing user, as mentioned in this link: http://help.adobe.com/en_US/AcrobatConnectPro/7.5/Using/WS5C856274-D671-4665-9CD0-29868C89 60F2.html so I am thinking If maybe there could be a way where I can retrieve the "first-name"of the user through Variables and Actions of Captivate. Since I am trying to avoid prompting the user to type in their first names, I wish to do automatically, that is if it possible.
Thanks.
Troy

Database Link :variable substitution

Hi.
The application I have in mind will be used to monitor various databases, so I'm planning to use database links from a single database to reach the rest the rest.
The user will come in select a DB from a drop down and that will set an application item and a generic variable with the appropriate database link value.
I've noted various threads which highlight an issue with the database link variable not working in a select so:
select * from emp@:P1_DBLINK says the database link is expected ...
The most common solution seems to be:
declare
l_sql varchar2(2000);
begin
l_sql := 'select * from emp@' || :P1_DBLINK ;
return l_sql;
end;
My problem is that I have a huge number of large complex SQL's that I wish to use which have formats and include a large number of ' characters. (which are tricky to set in the l_sql string)
Assigning each bit of all these SQL's into a variable will take me for ever.
Has there been any other solutions found to this problem?
Here's hoping and thanks in advance

Oracle Form functions and procedures in APEX, how?

I am working to recreate in APEX, already existing Read Only Forms in Oracle Forms. APEX Interactive Report functionality among other things, makes it worth while as well as targetting a different audience than the one that utilizies the Oracle Form versions. Oracle Forms versions use lots of pre and post query triggers, PLSQL Functions.
In Oracle Forms one of the places those functions can be located is in the "Program Units" section of the Form. A typical function of this sort, based on a specific Mission ID Itinerary, collects scheduled passengers last names, formats them with a comma and space after each one, into a single string that is returned and displayed as the passenger list of one row.
I have all this code written so I can move most of the main query of the Oracle Form into an Interactive Report. These functions and triggers called from within the Form, from the "Program Units" section of the Oracle Form rather than being stored in the Database schema in a package, where would they go inside APEX? Can I create a "Shortcut" in APEX and call it from the Interactive Report "Region Source"? Can I create the PLSQL function at the page level or region level of the Interactive Report? Or, is my best bet creating a package stored in the database, of all these functions and/or proecedures I may need from the original Oracle Form?
Some advice would be greatly appriciated.

RLBickham wrote:
I don't think I have been clear enough in describing the specific thing I want to do, it simply does not reach the level of forms to APEX conversion. It is basically a PLSQL Function problem.
I have an Interactive Report that is currently getting 90 percent of what I want however, each row, representing a Mission may have multiple legs. Each Leg has two locations or ICAO codes attached to it. Based on the Mission number, I want to loop through the leg table, collect all the ICAO codes for that Mission, put them all into 1 variable separated by a coma and add that variable to the column display of that Interactive Report as the last column.
In Oracle Forms I have a function saved to the database that is called within the main query. Maybe I am asking a question that does not need to be asked but in any case my question is can I put that function currently in the database somewhere in the confines of the Interactive Report and reference it via Http somehow or should I just stick with putting functions and procedures in packages stored in the database and called the conventional way?You could move the function to the database and call it from the report query, but it sounds as if it's superfluous. In the report query use whatever form of Re: 4. How do I convert rows to columns? is appropriate to your (unspecified) database version.
When you have a problem you'll get a faster, more effective response by including as much relevant information as possible upfront. This should include:
<li>Full APEX version
<li>Full DB/version/edition/host OS
<li>Web server architecture (EPG, OHS or APEX listener/host OS)
<li>Browser(s) and version(s) used
<li>Theme
<li>Template(s)
<li>Region/item type(s) (making particular distinction as to whether a "report" is a standard report, an interactive report, or in fact an "updateable report" (i.e. a tabular form)
With APEX we're also fortunate to have a great resource in apex.oracle.com where we can reproduce and share problems. Reproducing things there is the best way to troubleshoot most issues, especially those relating to layout and visual formatting. If you expect a detailed answer then it's appropriate for you to take on a significant part of the effort by getting as far as possible with an example of the problem on apex.oracle.com before asking for assistance with specific issues, which we can then see at first hand.

Formula Variables and their use

I have a scenario where I have a date selection using a variable.
I get from and to date defaulted to 1st day of the month and current date
Next, I created a formula variable to calculate the difference between these 2 dates.
I can't uses replacement path variable to calculate the difference becaue the dates are not part of the transaction data.
When ever I bring formual variable into a formual it gives an error
Terminate: Variable D1QDQC684JU76RD3FQ10GECZ9 (D1QDQC684JU76RD3FQ10GECZ9) does not exist or is incorrectly used D1QUMP50BGW24SQ9PQMZDSMD1 [A418(BRAIN)]
This error is not in the customer exit. This error happens in the query designer design phase during syntax checks.
Thanks for your help
Kartik

there was a problem in defining the variables, while u r opening your query, and if its getting terminated means, definition of the variable and its usage is wrong somewhere else.
Here is the step by step procedure for Formula variables:

Calling Oracle function and Procedure using OCCI with in C++ code

Could any body send me the sample code to create and execute Oracle function and Procedure using OCCI concept in C++?.
Edited by: 788634 on Aug 16, 2010 4:09 AM

Hi Vishnu,
Yes, sure, you can create a PL/SQL procedure, function, package, package body, etc. from within an OCCI application. I would say that, generally, this is not the sort of activity a typical client application would perform unless there is some initialization/installation processes that need to happen. In any case, here is a simple demo showing how to create a stand alone procedure (in a real application I would use a package and body) that returns a ref cursor. The ref cursor is just a simple select of two columns in the hr.countries sample table. Of course, there is no error handling, object orientation, etc. in this demo - I wanted to keep the code as short and as simple as possible to illustrate the concept.

Mark

Question about shared variables and report generator

I have a project with about 200-250 shared variables and at every 12 hours i want to make a report containing information about some boolean and double front panel variables linked to the shared variables... Now, i've tried with both the "Write Trace to SpreadSheet File" function from DSC->History and with different functions from NI Report Generation Toolkit. My problem is this: i would like to get my xls file to contain just the timestamps when my shared variable changed value. As it is, the number of rows in the file depends, obviously, on the sampling interval given as input. As an example, in 12 hours, my shared variable would change value maybe 5-6 times. Thus i would like my xls file to contain just 5-6 rows with those 5-6 changes. If i set the sampling interval to say, a matter of seconds, that would mean too much unneeded information in my xls file. Instead, if i set it to let's say 15 minutes, i would probably lose the moment the shared variable changed value. Is there a way for me to achieve my desired functionality with functions from DSC or Report Generation Toolkit? Thanks in advance, Sabin

Hi Mike and thanks for the reply. Actually, my first idea was exactly this: in an event case structure, whenever my variable changed value, i would retain the relevant data in an array and then at the 12 hour period write all of it in a report. However, my boss deeemed it memory unefficient and compelled me to use only one function. Thus my predicament... If you have more advice on this new info, i would be grateful... Cheers, sabin
