Problem with JDBC results calling simple stored procedure in VC 7.0

Hi all,
I am building a simple VC model which calls a stored procedure on a JDBC database. I have created the system in the portal, defined the alias and user mapping, the connection test is fine and the VC "find data" lists my bespoke stored procedure.
The stored procedure is :
CREATE PROCEDURE dbo.dt_getBieUsers
AS
select * from dbo.emailuserlink
GO
When I test it using query analyser, it returns 3 records each with the two fields I expect - user and email address.
I drag the model onto the workspace in VC and create an input form ( with just a submit button ). i drag the result port out to create a table. This has no fields in it.
I build and deploy as flex and the app runs, I click the submit button and SUCCESS! I get 3 records in my table each with 2 fields. The data is all correct. The problem with this is the fields are determined at runtime it seems.
I go back to the table and add 2 columns "email" and "address".
i build and deploy and run the app. Again I get 3 records, but this time the contents of all of the rows is not data, but "email" and "address". The data has been replaced by the header texts in all of the rows.
Can anyone help? Why isn't the data being put in my columns as I would expect?
I tried to build and deploy the app as Web Dynpro rather than Flex to see if it was a bug in Flex. The application starts but when I click the submit button to run the JDBC stored procedure I get a 500 Internal Server Error

The JDBC connection I am using has a connection URL of jdbc:sap:sqlserver://localhost;DatabaseName=BIEUSERS
and a driver class of com.sap.portals.jdbc.sqlserver.SQLServerDriver
Can anyone solve my wierd problems?
Cheers

Hi Richard,
After you drag and drop the data service, right click on it and choose "Test data service". Then click on "Execute" and after you see the result on the right, click on "Add fields" button (inside the same window). Now you'll see that the fields are on the tabel. This is required only for JDBC data services, since this data (how the resultset is built) is not know in DT and it needs to be run firest - then analysed and only then you have to add the fields to the table).

Natty

  • Problem with comparion of clobs in stored procedure

  • Problem with execute SSIS package from stored procedure

    Hi,
    I would like to execute SSIS package from stored procedure. Therefore, I implemented sp which exec SSISDB.CATALOG.CREATE_EXECUTION method. When I try to test it from SSMS on remote server, I got error that
    I was able to solve by adding “WITH EXECUTE AS …”. Then I got another error: The server principal "Domain\user" is not able to access the database "SSISDB" under the current security context. On Internet, I found a couple post that describe
    how to access SSIS catalog (one of them by Ke Yang -
    http://blogs.msdn.com/b/mattm/archive/2012/03/20/ssis-catalog-access-control-tips.aspx). It didn’t help. I’m still getting the error message.
    How to debug this issue?

  • Locking in EntityFramework - calling empty stored procedure releases lock acquired using sp_getapplock

    I have a patient table in the SQL Server database. Clients connect to the database and checkout one of the patients and do some operations on it and save it afterwards.
    Since multiple clients might access the patient at the same time. I wanted to implement pessimistic locking mechanism, So that if one client can acquire a lock to a particular patient at a time.
    Also if one of the clients locks a particular patient and either crashes or closes the client application the lock should be released. In case of crash the lock should be released when we detect that the connection of client with the database is closed.
    I found out that I could use sp_getapplock and sp_releaseapplock to
    do achieve this and specify @LockOwner
    = 'Session' when calling sp_getapplock,
    this ensures that the lock is released once the database session with the client closes.
    From the code, I call a stored procedure in database to acquire the lock. This acquires the lock correctly and if i close off the client app or the client app crashes the lock is released. This is behaving as I wanted it to.
    The problem happens when I call another stored procedure which is supposed to release the lock. As soon as the stored procedure is entered the lock is released, before we even execute sp_releaseapplock
    @patientId, @LockOwner = 'Session' the line which is actually supposed to release the lock.
    I tried creating an empty stored procedure (just commented out
    DECLARE @result int
    EXEC @result = sp_releaseapplock @patientId, @LockOwner = 'Session'
    This stored procedure still releases the lock I acquired using sp_getapplock.
    I can't seem to understand why this is happening. It should only release when I explicitly call `sp_releaseapplock @patientId, @LockOwner = 'Session'``
    CREATE PROCEDURE [dbo].[uspReleaseAppLock]
    @patientId nvarchar(max), -- Patient ID
    @ReturnValue int Output
    AS
    BEGIN
    DECLARE @result int
    EXEC @result = sp_releaseapplock @patientId, @LockOwner = 'Session'
    SET @ReturnValue = @@SPID
    END
    Could someone tell me why this is happening. What am I missing here ? I checked that the session ids of both the stored procedures (for acquiring and releasing the lock) are same, so it dose not seem that a new session is being created by entity frame work
    for each call to the stored procedure. Something else is going on which I am not able to comprehend. Any ideas ?

    Hi oalvi,
    The Stored Procedure(SP) sp_getApplock initialed with "@LockOwner='Session'" is
    session scoped. Your procedure
    [dbo].[uspReleaseAppLock]
    did the same work as you explicitly call "sp_releaseapplock @Resource = @patientId, @LockOwner='Session'", after the SP
    uspReleaseAppLock
    called or the current session ends, the lock released.
    It doesn't make sense to call the uspReleaseAppLock to release the lock initialized in another session. If you try, you get the error like below, as I mentioned, the lock is session scoped.
    "Cannot release the application lock (Database Principal: 'public', Resource: 'patient1') because it is not currently
    held"
    Regarding the same session ID you get from calling 2 SPs separately in Entity Framework(EF). As per my limitation knowledge on EF, If the maxsize of the project connection
    pool equals 1, you may get the same session always.
    Some cautions for sp_getApplock
    Locks can be explicitly released with sp_releaseapplock. When an application calls sp_getapplock multiple times for the same lock resource, sp_releaseapplock must be called the same number of times to release the lock.
    Due to the connection pool, the sessions may last long, that's what you need to take into account.
    By the way, is there any reason that you have to use the sp_getApplock? What is the procedure doing that you cannot rely on SQL Servers build-in concurrency control mechanisms?
    If you have any question, feel free to let me know.

  • Calling a Stored Procedure with a result set and returned parms

    I am calling a stored procedure from a Brio report. The stored procedure returns a result set, but also passes back some parameters. I am getting a message that states that the DBMS cannot find the SP with the same footprint. Besides the result set, the SP returns 3 out parameters: (Integer, char(60), char(40)). Is there something special I need to do in Brio to format the out parameters to be passed back from the SP.
    Thanks,

  • IE problem with img tag calling stored procedure

    The image shows up in Firefox but not IE 7. I don't think its an issue with the stored procedure but I can't understand why IE doesn't show the image. Is there something I'm missing? I've tried both jpeg and png.
    Thanks
    Eric

    As the related posts suggest, you will need to use direct JDBC code for this.
    Also I'm not sure JDBC supports the RECORD type, so you may need to wrap your stored functions with ones that either flatten the record out, or take OBJECT types.

    you can clear the field key tags mandatory in the XML Schema interpreter parameter and make the Empty string value to Empty string from null value.
    For mapping : you can pass a value that is of the same format of date; but you can take your own value in the database since you are parsing the date format from one to other

  • Calling a stored procedure with a CLOB as input parameter

    Hello,
    I was unsuccessfully trying to call a stored procedure with a clob as input parameter from my C++ application using occi.
    Anyone got a working example to look at?
    I already checked the thread Invalid OCI handle when creating a Blob which didn't help.
    The problem seems to be that I don't have a lob locator to write my data (xml file) to. I tried creating a temporary clob using the sys.dbms_lob package which only resulted in a major headache on my part...
    I would appreciate any help.
    Kind regards
    Horst
    my environment:
    Visual Studio 2008, C++ application
    Oracle 11g

    To start using a blob you have to insert it into the database and then get it back. Sounds weird but that is how it is. Here is a very simple program to do this:
    #include<occi.h>
    #include <iostream>
    using namespace oracle::occi;
    using namespace std;
    int main()
      try
        Environment *env = Environment::createEnvironment(Environment::OBJECT);
        Connection *conn = env->createConnection("hr","hr","");
        string stmt1 = "insert into blob_tab values (:1) ";
        string stmt2 = "select col1 from blob_tab";
        Blob blob(conn);
        blob.setEmpty(conn);
        Statement *stmtObj = conn->createStatement(stmt1);
        stmtObj->setBlob(1,blob);
        stmtObj->executeUpdate();
        conn->commit();
        Blob blob1(conn);
        Statement *stmtObj2 = conn->createStatement(stmt2);
        ResultSet *rs = stmtObj2->executeQuery();
        while(rs->next())
         blob1 = rs->getBlob(1);
        string stmt3 = "begin my_proc(:1) ;end;";
        Statement *stmtObj3 =  conn->createStatement(stmt3);
        stmtObj3->setBlob(1,blob1);
        stmtObj3->executeUpdate();
      catch (SQLException e)
        cout << e.getMessage();

    Well, there's certainly something about that line that it doesn't like.
    I'm not really familiar enough with MySQL to remote-debug this one for you, but it seems to be dying while trying to reconcile that call to its metadata for the sproc. Check the sproc declaration -does it return a single out value? Or does it have a single out value in the parameter list (not the same thing, I think) ? And so on.
    Also, with the amended call that I provided is the failing stack trace identical, or slightly different? If different, could you post that too please?
    Finally, do you have a known good sproc call that you can sanity check against? Perhaps take one of the examples from the MySQL site and check that that will work with their reference code?

  • How to call a Stored Procedure with a REF CURSOR output parameter

    I am looking forward an example that call a stored function/procedure with a REF CURSOR output parameter and get the result.
    In other words, I have a stored function/procedure that execute a SELECT statement using the OCI library and then it could get the values of each column and each row.
    I put a code snippet, it have only the main thing to call a simple stored procedure and print the name of each column of the cursor, but I couldn´t to print out the values in the table that call the stored procedure.
    I understand that the next step, it is to call a OCIStmtFetch.
    How to associate the cursor with the OCIStmtFetch?

    Hi Mark,
    Thanks for your recommendations.
    I change the code with OCIDefineByPos, one for each parameter from cursor and then use the OCIStmtFetch.
    I don´t receive a error when call OCIDefineByPos, but when I call OCIStmtFetch receive a -1 error number.
    What is wrong with the code?
    The script is the same.
    I need your help!
    Best Regards!

    I am trying to call a Stored Procedure(SP) with an OUT parameter(Ref Cursor) from a third party tool. It is called using OLE-DB Data provider. In one database the procedure works fine but when I change the database the procedure call is giving following error.
    Distribution Object:     COM Error. COM Source: OraOLEDB. COM Error message: IDispatch error #3092. COM Description: ORA-06550: line 1, column 7:
         PLS-00306: wrong number or types of arguments in call to 'TEST1'
         ORA-06550: line 1, column 7:
         PL/SQL: Statement ignored.
    I am not able to find as to why is this happening. Please let me know any clues /help to solve this problem.
    Thanks in advance.

    If you're using Oracle Provider for OLE DB (OraOLEDB) to execute this stored procedure, you need to set PLSQLRSet attribute. This attribute can be set in registry, connection string, or command object. Please refer to User Documentation for more information.
