Report gives strange behavior

Hi Gurus,
I am facing strange problem with my oracle report 10GR2 release. Problem is, when user runs a report in early part of the morning from application server, the report runs normally and it generates the PDF file with proper data. But when the same user runs the same report in later part of the day with the same parameters as he gave in the morning, the report doesn't shows any result on generated PDF file.
At the same time if we run the report query in the data base from sqlplus, it gives the proper output. I have checked the server log and the report trace file also but I didn't found any special and abnormal thing in the log file. I have asked the application DBA also to look into this problem but they are not able to identify the problem.
The problem occurs only in production database in acceptance and test I am not able to simulate the condition.
Do any one knows the strange behavior of the report on the application server? If more information is required then please ask.
Thanks in advance.

When you say that the PDF is not generated what exactly happens
a. The report is not generated at all and a blank page is shown up even after a prolonged period of time
or
b. Some error is thrown (REP errors)
Apart from this, what is the value set of maxConnect attribute in reports server configuration file located in <ORACLE_HOME>\reports\conf directory.

Strange behavior in Financial Reports (drop down feature)

Hello Gurus,
I have currently performed migration of Financial Reports from 11.1.1.3 environment to 11.1.2.2 environment with the help of a staging environment.
We migrated the reports over to 11.1.2.2 using LCM from the Staging 11.1.2.2 environment.
We are observing some strange behavior with the Financial Reports that have drop down functionality in our new environment.
When we open a report in our current environment (113) and select a particular member (India) from the Page dimension(Page has almost 30 members in it) it returns appropriate data, however when the same report is opened in new environment (122) and when we select the same member(India), it does not return appropriate data(Page has almost 30 members in it).
However if we design a sample report with the same member in the page (Page has only 1 member (India)) and then open the report it shows correct data.
So the issue occurs only when we have more than 1 members in page and it works as expected when we have only 1 member in page.
Any help would be highly appreciated.
Thanks,

Hello Neeraj,
We are trying to understand the potential reason as to why is it causing this. Is there anything similar caught in .303 patch?? I will have a look at the .303 patch readme.

Strange Behavior connecting to Oracle

Hi to All,
On Server Windows 2003 I have installed Oracle 10g R2. On this Server run Toad for Oracle.
If I run Oracle console, all work fine; running Toad the ORA-12154 error is displayed.
I have tried to connect to DB with Toad from a client and all works.
Have someone an idea on this strange behavior ?
Thank You and Best Regards
Gaetano

This may be a problem?NO!
12154, 00000, "TNS:could not resolve the connect identifier specified"
// *Cause: A connection to a database or other service was requested using
// a connect identifier, and the connect identifier specified could not
// be resolved into a connect descriptor using one of the naming methods
// configured. For example, if the type of connect identifier used was a
// net service name then the net service name could not be found in a
// naming method repository, or the repository could not be
// located or reached.
// *Action:
//   - If you are using local naming (TNSNAMES.ORA file):
//      - Make sure that "TNSNAMES" is listed as one of the values of the
//        NAMES.DIRECTORY_PATH parameter in the Oracle Net profile
//        (SQLNET.ORA)
//      - Verify that a TNSNAMES.ORA file exists and is in the proper
//        directory and is accessible.
//      - Check that the net service name used as the connect identifier
//        exists in the TNSNAMES.ORA file.
//      - Make sure there are no syntax errors anywhere in the TNSNAMES.ORA
//        file. Look for unmatched parentheses or stray characters. Errors
//        in a TNSNAMES.ORA file may make it unusable.
//   - If you are using directory naming:
//      - Verify that "LDAP" is listed as one of the values of the
//        NAMES.DIRETORY_PATH parameter in the Oracle Net profile
//        (SQLNET.ORA).
//      - Verify that the LDAP directory server is up and that it is
//        accessible.
//      - Verify that the net service name or database name used as the
//        connect identifier is configured in the directory.
//      - Verify that the default context being used is correct by
//        specifying a fully qualified net service name or a full LDAP DN
//        as the connect identifier
//   - If you are using easy connect naming:
//      - Verify that "EZCONNECT" is listed as one of the values of the
//        NAMES.DIRETORY_PATH parameter in the Oracle Net profile
//        (SQLNET.ORA).
//      - Make sure the host, port and service name specified
//        are correct.
//      - Try enclosing the connect identifier in quote marks.
//   See the Oracle Net Services Administrators Guide or the Oracle
//   operating system specific guide for more information on naming.This error is clear.
SQL*Net is being asked to resolved TNS_ALIAS & it reports that it can not find the requested name.
EITHER
1) the requested name is not correct
or
2) SQL*Net is looking in the wrong tnsnames.ora file & still not finding the requested name.
Good Luck solving your mystery

Strange behavior in Webi : No data returned

Hi,
I am experiencing a strange behavior.
I have created a condition object in universe.
Start Date : DATE_DIM_TBL.DAY >= UPPER(to_char(to_date(@prompt('Enter start date','D',,mono,free),'dd/mm/yyyy HH24:MI:SS'),'dd-mon-yy'))
End Date : DATE_DIM_TBL.DAY <= UPPER(to_char(to_date(@prompt('Enter end date','D',,mono,free),'dd/mm/yyyy HH24:MI:SS'),'dd-mon-yy'))
Now when I create report to display years between 01-05-2005 and 04-05-2009. Report does not return any data.
Where as when I execute the generated query from SQL prompt it return correct data.
SELECT
DATE_DIM_TBL.CALENDAR_YEAR_NAME
FROM
DATE_DIM_TBL
WHERE
   ( DATE_DIM_TBL.DAY >= UPPER(to_char(to_date('01-05-2005 00:00:00','dd/mm/yyyy HH24:MI:SS'),'dd-mon-yy')) )
   AND

can somebody please give any pointers about what has gone wrong in WebI.

Yes I tried SQL*PLus on BOBJ Server machine. SQL returns correct data.
Do you think is it some setting in WebI, As It hapopens only when I use condition object as a filter in Webi report. When I create Report filter it works fine.

Strange behavior with Firefox

Hi Team,
I am using HTMLDB V2.0 and Firefox V1.5.0.1. I used wizard to create a report/form application. However, when I press a button to update the form all the buttons line up in a vertical row and I then have to press the same button again.
My application is 30412 at htmldb.oracle.com. The problem is occurring at page 4. Go to page 3 (2nd tab) and select any record. You will be directed to page 4. Then when you press any button (cancel, create, delete, apply changes) on page 4, page 4 is refreshed and the buttons strangely line up in a vertical column. I then have to press the same button again before the update occurs.
I have the same report/form setup on pages 1 and 2 and it is working fine on those pages.
This strange behavior is not occurring in IE. I also notice that the font size is bigger in IE .
I would appreciate any help you might offer.
I really enjoy working with HTMLDB.
Thanks, Andy

Sorry about that. I removed all the authorization schemes from the application. I also changed the authentication scheme to HTMLDB. Let me know if I need to do something more for you to get access.
Thanks for looking at it.
I think it may have something to do with the "button, alternative 3" template from theme 3 that I am using. When I switch to the "button" template from theme 3 then the strange behavior goes away in Firefox.

Strange behavior of std::string find method in SS12

Hi
I faced with strange behavior of std::string.find method while compiling with Sunstudio12.
Compiler: CC: Sun C++ 5.9 SunOS_sparc Patch 124863-14 2009/06/23
Platform: SunOS xxxxx 5.10 Generic_141414-07 sun4u sparc SUNW,Sun-Fire-V250
Sometimes find method does not work, especially when content of string is larger than several Kb and it is needed to find pattern from some non-zero position in the string
For example, I have some demonstration program which tries to parse PDF file.
It loads PDF file completely to a string and then iterately searches all ocurrences of "obj" and "endobj".
If I compile it with GCC from Solaris - it works
If I compile it with Sunstudio12 and standard STL - does not work
If I compile it with Sunstudio12 and stlport - it works.
On win32 it always works fine (by VStudio or CodeBlocks)
Is there any limitation of standard string find method in Sunstudio12 STL ?
See below the code of tool.
Compilation: CC -o teststr teststr.cpp
You can use any PDF files larger than 2kb as input to reproduce the problem.
In this case std::string failes to find "endobj" from some position in the string,
while this pattern is located there for sure.
Example of output:
CC -o teststr teststr.cpp
teststr in.pdf Processing in.pdf
Found object:1
Broken PDF, endobj is not found from position1155
#include <string>
#include <iostream>
#include <fstream>
using namespace std;
bool parsePDF (string &content, size_t &position)
    position = content.find("obj",position);
    if( position == string::npos ) {
        cout<<"End of file"<<endl;
        return false;
    position += strlen("obj");
    size_t cur_pos = position;
    position = content.find("endobj",cur_pos);
    if( position == string::npos ){
        cerr<<"Broken PDF, endobj is not found from position"<<cur_pos<<endl;;
        return false;
    position += strlen("endobj");
    return true;
int main(int argc, char ** argv)
    if( argc < 2 ){
        cout<<"Usage:"<<argv[0]<<" [pdf files]\n";
        return -3;
    else {
        for(int i = 1;i<argc;i++) {
            ifstream pdfFile;
            pdfFile.open(argv,ios::binary);
if( pdfFile.fail()){
cerr<<"Error opening file:"<<argv[i]<<endl;
continue;
pdfFile.seekg(0,ios::end);
int length = pdfFile.tellg();
pdfFile.seekg(0,ios::beg);
char *buffer = new char [length];
if( !buffer ){
cerr<<"Cannot allocate\n";
continue;
pdfFile.read(buffer,length);
pdfFile.close();
string content;
content.insert(0,buffer,length);
delete buffer;
// the lets parse the file and find all endobj in the buffer
cout<<"Processing "<<argv[i]<<endl;
size_t start = 0;
int count = 0;
while( parsePDF(content,start) ){
cout<<"Found object:"<<++count<<"\n";
return 0;

Well, there is definitely some sort of problem here, maybe in string::find, but possibly elsewhere in the library.
Please file a bug report at [http://bugs.sun.com] and we'll have a look at it.

[BO XI 3.0] - Strange behavior regarding language settings

Hello,
I found strange behavior BOE in infoview portal. We have Desktop intelligence documents published in repository and when we open report (first time) in infoview we have right format for date and numbers e.g. dd.mm.yyyy, 123.123,00.
When we close this report and open once again the format is en-US e.g. mm/dd/yyyy 123,123.00 and this is wrong. We log out and log in and open this report but no change.
If we restart services in cmc (deski services) then the first time is report ok and when we open again this report the same error.
SW:
Windows server 2003 sp2 - english (regional settings - slovenian)
BOE premium ( BO XI R 3.0 => the same problem in BO XI 3.1)
CMS database => Oracle 10gR2 (nsl lang SLOVENIAN_SLOVENIA.EE8MSWIN1250)
Language settings in infoview we check => use browser locale and slovenian
Thank you for reply!
In BOE R2 works fine...
Regards,
Gregor

Hi Gregor,
Try the following option.
Find the file i8ln.xml in the location
"<install directory of BO>\Program Files\Business Objects\BusinessObjects Enterprise 12.0\win32_x86\scripts\"
Take a backup of the file and make the follwing changes.
Find the following code in the file
activate_languages>
<state value="0"/>
<State value="0" cs_lang="Bulgarian"/>
<State value="0" orig_lang="" cible_lang="Bulgarian"/>*
<State value="0"/>
</activate_languages>
Replace it with:
<activate_languages>
<state value="0"/>
<State value="1" cs_lang="English (Australian)"/>
<State value="1" orig_lang="" cible_lang="English (Australian)"/>*
<State value="1"/>
</activate_languages>
Save the file.
Restart your Desktop Intelligence servers. It might take a bit of time to pick up the changes.
Note: If you start Deski after this change, and go to "Tools > Options", you will see a disabled language button with "English(....)" written on it.

Anisa

WM_CAP_DRIVER_CONNECT strange behavior on Windows 7

Hi,
I'm sorry if this is not the right place to post my question, but I did not found one, maybe someone could suggest me.
Anyway, I have some code for aquiring cam image using WM_CAP* messages.
While it works perfectly on an XP machine, in Seven I have a lot of strange behavior.
On the first call to
SendMessage(hCapWnd, WM_CAP_DRIVER_CONNECT, DriverIdx, 0&)
The "source Video" window appear, while on XP it return immediately true.
Now I choose the source and I press OK but the SendMessage returns false!
I try again and this time no window appear and the acquisition start normally!
Then, I disconnect the driver and I try to connect again but the windows appear every time and SendMessage returns false!!!
It make me crazy!! Please, could someone have some suggestions?
Regards,
Daniele.

Daniele, I'm fighting the same problem as yours. I gave up at the first call to capDriverConnect. Didn't know it may succeed at the second shot.
GetLastError reports 0 = ok.
But there must be a way to succeed, because I started an app attached to the driver I use, and it works correctly, without the unwanted dialog. Can't check it right now, but it is probably the same app as here (if link does not work, just search for vbvidcap):
http://www.natech-inc.com/names/other_programs/vidcap/index.html
How does it go in your case?
edit1: Sometimes there are problems if a window belongs to a different thread. Are you sure you call capDriverConnect from the thread that created the window with capCreateCaptureWindow?
edit2: Sorry for the wrong hint. vbvidcap has the same problem. The app that works uses directshow, not vfw.
edit3: Maybe the camera is reserved by some other application, or by unknown bug. Appearing of the "choose source" dialog is a sign of the blockage of the device, this works so on XP. In my case I resolved the problem by unplugging the camera and connecting
it again. And the drivers must be ok. So I remain a believer of VFW :) Troublesome and awkward, but works!

Zenworks Agent 10.3.3 - Windows 7 32 -Strange behavior

Hi,
Here's my problem :
I have a SYSPREP fully functionnal that install the Novell Client IR9a on a Windows 7 SP1 32Bits and at the end i have a VBS File that download the latest version of Zenworks Agent installer to the local harddrive. After it installs it... Then a strange behavior happen after the required reboot by the installer.
You can't ping any DNS names until until you have rebooted your machine 3 times.
-> You can ping ip addresses but not their names.
I tried to do a flush dns realse or renew and same behavior... can't ping any DNS names.
This problem is not there if i do not install the Adaptive agent and leave the Novell Client Alone...
The Windows 7 was originally a home premium that was upgraded to a oem pro license if that can ring any bell.
Thank you.

There was an issue a LONG time ago that I have not heard reported
since..........

Strange behavior (disappearing buttons, tabs, and more)

Very recently (within the past 3 days and long after installing 10.4.9) Safari on my iMac G5 has been exhibiting very strange behavior.
Some of the symptoms:
- crashes frequently for no apparent reason
- toolbar loses buttons and/or buttons are there but don't react to mouse clicks; sometimes a standard button, like forward, will simply disappear while backward remains
- text in URL field will become 'bolded' and sometimes difficult to read/blurry
- tabs often lose their dividing line boundaries
- auto entries usually not present
I have erased the preference list for Safari in my user library and repaired my permissions without any success.
Any suggestions?
Thank you very much for any help.

Hi
Please post a crash report - when Safari crashes, the "quit" panel has a "report" button. Select it, then copy/paste the entire contents to your reply.
While you are at it, try the site from another User Account. If you need to create a new account, please follow these steps:
Here is guidance from Apple on how to set up the account. You can ignore step 7 in the article.
Also, on the system preference>Accounts panel, click on "log-in" options. There, select "fast user switching". This allows you to go back and forth between user accounts via an icon in your Menu Bar at the top of the computer screen.
Log-on to the new account and start Safari. If Safari is stable in the new account, then your problem is specific to your regular user account. Otherwise, similar response means a system-wide problem.
Post back with results.

IMac mouse problems / strange behavior (impossible to configure mouse preferences)

I work in a design and communication school, the used hardware is iMac (Intel) whit Lion (OS X 10.7), we have several rooms equipped with these Macs where students light up their data on the server.
Today, 3 of these Macs had problems with the mouse, including mine.
Basically the clicks don´t work correctly. We cant close windows, open folders or change some options by clicking, but we can open softwares, scroll.
In safari if i search something, when I try to click the link i want, safari opens a new tab instead the one i am at, and has other strange behaviors. So I´ve tried to change the mouse settings, and when i make a change, for example: change the scroll button to "buttun 3" the mouse automatically assumes all buttons to dashboard, but not at the configurations window because it says that scrool button still "button 3", when i use the click or the scroll or any button it just slid me to dashboard or a setting that has nothing to do with my option.
This is really causing a big problem since we are a school.. I already tried to change the mouse, clean, try another usb ports, search for update or restart but it still doing the same.
I think it have something to do with an update.. but not sure.. would be really gratefull if someone knows how to solve this.
As a temporary solution,i disabled all options using only the mouse click, but to do it, i had to plug in my tablet (that works perfectly for the record) and use it instead of mouse (since it was impossible to use it), than went to mouse preferences and disable left click, scroll and side buttons and then restart the Mac (or else it wont work)..
it will work fine but still a problem cause I use all mouse buttons custom as well as the students...

I have been experiencing a freezing mouse as well. I updated the mouse drivers but it is still happening. I have been repairing the permissions and noticed something very strange see the mention of a -t. I have been running unix systems since 1984 and have never seen that before....

I select the playlist and click "Burn Disc"
Requests a blank disc. I insert one.

after about a minute, the disc ejects

Of the types I've tried, the Sony DVD's have been the best for me. Haven't tried many types though. Maybe I can get disks one at a time until I find a brand my burner likes.
Still, isn't it strange that there is NO error message? It just quits?

Strange Behavior with gMSA in Server 2012 R2

Greetings,
I have been doing some testing with gMSA Accounts in a Server 2012 R2 environment (two separate environments, actually), and I have noticed something very strange that occurred in both environments, which does not appear to be occurring in one of our customer's
self-managed environments.
We created a Group Managed Service Account using the following article:
http://blogs.technet.com/b/askpfeplat/archive/2012/12/17/windows-server-2012-group-managed-service-accounts.aspx
Everything went smoothly, and the account installs/tests successfully on both of the hosts that we are testing on. I am able to set my services to run under the account, and most of them appear to work fine. I am having some issues with a few of my services,
and I believe that the strange behavior I am seeing may have something to do with this - described below:
As soon as I set the service's Log On Account (via the Log On Tab under the Service's Properties), the entirety of the "Log On" tab changes to "greyed out," and I am unable to change the Log On account back via the GUI (Screenshot
attached).
I found that I am able to successfully change the account via Command Line using sc.exe, but the Log On tab remains greyed out! So far, I have found nothing to remedy this, but confirmed that it happens for any service I set to use the gMSA as the Logon
Account, and that it happens in 2 separate test environments, but not in a Customer's production environment - very strange.
All servers in this environment are running Server 2012 R2, and domain Functional Level is currently Server 2012.
I have been unable to find any information online about this behavior, so I am hoping someone has seen this before, and can explain why this is happening.

VIvian,
Yes, we used the Install-AdServiceAccount gMSA command on each host using the gMSA account, and then ran Test-AdServiceAccount gMSA, which returned "True."
However, one thing I noticed is that if I run Test-ADServiceAccount gMSA as a Local Administrator, it fails with the following:
PS C:\Users\Administrator> Test-AdServiceAccount gMSA$
Test-AdServiceAccount : The server has rejected the client credentials.
At line:1 char:1
+ Test-AdServiceAccount gMSA$
+ ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
    + CategoryInfo          : SecurityError: (:) [Test-ADServiceAccount], AuthenticationException
    + FullyQualifiedErrorId : ActiveDirectoryCmdlet:System.Security.Authentication.AuthenticationException,Microsoft.A
   ctiveDirectory.Management.Commands.TestADServiceAccount
If I run Test-ADServiceAccount gMSA as Domain Administrator, it returns true:
PS C:\Users\Administrator.<domainname>> Test-AdServiceAccount gMSA$
True
Is this normal?
Overall, I think the issue I am running into is at the Application Level, and not a problem with the gMSA, as it appears to be working. (Can Start/Stop services without any issues). I will be investigating my issue further with 3rd-party vendors, unless
you think there is something wrong with my gMSA accounts based on the information I have provided.
