Workbook won't open after import into test environment - Function Related

Hi Experts,
We have a disco report that uses a custom database function. The function has been registered and is valid in the development environment and the report works fine.
We have exported the business area, report and relevant functions from the development environment and imported them into the test environment (Using diso admin import/export tool) in the following order:
1. Functions
2. Business Area
3. Workbook
There were no errors during the import with the exception of a failed grant which was my logon and does not exist in the target environment.
When I attempt to open the workbook in the test environment I receive the following error message: Item dependancy"" not found in the EUL. Attempt to open workbook failed.
At first I though that this was a folder developer key issue because I did have to change the id of a folder that this report uses however I have re-synced the ID's by ensuring the eul id's were different and I have decompiled the workbook using the d51wkdmp tool and I have confirmed that the workbook is looking at the correct items.
I noticed that the workbook had three function references so in the development environment I deleted the fields that used the functions and re-imported the workbook, guess what it worked OK meaning that the folder ID's etc... are ok and all in sync.
I attempted to create a new workbook in the test environment that used the imported function. When I did I got an error message saying that there was too many parameters for the function, exactly the same process works in the development environment and the calculation creates ok. I checked the function definition in discover administrator (test environment) and the function is correct, parameters present and validates OK exactly the same as the dev environment however when I try to use it discoverer plus falls over!!!!
Any ideas/pointers, at the moment I can't see how this can be anything except a bug in the import utility as the function is OK in Development and doesnt work in Test, we have used the standard export/import tools.
Thanks
Keith

Hi Rod,
This error is occuring with functions that only have 2 or 3 parameters. My standard install processes do use the refresh option.
I have been following this up with Oracle Support and they have managed to replicate the bug in there environment. It has something to do with optional parameters, when you change all the parameters to required it works ok however I have other functions that have optional parameters that do work ok so it is clearly not just the presence of optional parameters that is causing the problem.
This is the first time (and probably the last) that I have tried to do disco migration using the admin import tool I have always used the command line interface to automate installs in the past, as I havn't run into this before I would imagine the bug is not present in the command line tool.
I will post an update when I hear back from Oracle Development on a fix.
Keith

  • ITunes won't open after OS update to Yosmite

    ITunes won't open after OS update, ITunes has been updated, it won't open or bounce. It will not allow me to move it to trash or reinstall it. I have already updated to OS X Yosmite two times as directed by apple, I have rebooted in safe made as well as Command/Option/P/R before start up. I have opened console/system log to see if there is anything going on but when I click on Itunes nothing happens, not even so much as half a line of script. I'm stumped. If I wanted someone to tell me to turn it off and on again I'd just watch IT Crowd. please help

    Thank you for using the Apple Support Communities
    If you head into your applications folder and locate iTunes. Right click iTunes and show package contents. In there there will be a contents folder --> MacOS --> double click on the iTunes terminal icon. This should force iTunes to open via a terminal window and at the very least it will tell you what it is getting stuck on.

  • ITunes won't open after update; MacBook Pro, Mac OSX 10.6.8, iTunes version 11.1.5

    iTunes won't open after update - help, please; MacBook Pro, Mac OSX 10.6.8, iTunes version 11.1.5.

    i had a problem similar to yours and better yet, i have the fix for it. i downloaded maverick 4 months ago and was without itunes ever since. all itunes icon did was bounce. itunes would never open and whats more, is when i would try to update it, i would get a "thank you for downloading itunes!" page , but the download would never work. so i scoured the net for solves. nothing that worked. <4 months later> then last night i took a new approach. i decided even though maverick would not allow me to uninstall itunes, i would find a way to uninstall itunes. then i would reinstall back to 11.1.5 i was successful and heres what i did.
    step one-
    Back up your iTunes Library.itl file, found under ~/Music/iTunes
    (even tho i didnt, i only had 3 artists in there at the time. and they didnt get erased but i advise you back up just in case.)
    step two-
    download itunes 10.7 from apple. i used this link Download it from Apple here
    (i pulled the link from Aarons website (awesometast.com). you download 10.7 however you want but i used the link above and have had no issues).
    although im not sure you need to do this step ( you may be able to download 11.1.5 itunes without 10.7, i did because i was following intructions from http://awesometoast.com/downgrading-to-itunes-10-7-from-itunes-11-on-osx/
    step 3-
    open Terminal
    step 4-
    enter in these 3 commands hitting return after each line. 1st line nothing seems to happen, 2nd line nothing seems to happen and 3rd line gives you a warning and requires password to continue. when i did it, my password didnt appear as i entered it and i hit return without looking, so i entered it in again, although im not sure i had to the 2nd time.
    killall iTunes
    killall "iTunes Helper"
    sudo rm -rf /Applications/iTunes.app/
    step 5-
    drag off and dump the itunes icon (which now has the ? shadow in it) off your dock.
    step 6-
    install 10.7 itunes you downloaded earlier. (not sure if this part is neccesary. you may be able to just download 11.1.5 but i downloaded 10.7 because i was following Aarons steps.) itunes now works.
    step 7-
    go to apple and update to 11.1.5 itunes. install it. open it and you have itunes 11.1.5 in perfect working order. assuming you have a decent internet speed for the downloads, the whole process takes very little time.
    with those steps above, you can solve itunes just bouncing and not launching issues and also the "thank you for downloading" and nothing downloads issue. enjoy. also i would like to give a shout out to http://awesometoast.com and thank Aaron for the knowledge that enabled me to get itunes back into my life.

  • ITunes won't open after downloading software update.  Macbook Pro OSX10.6.8  Simple solution?

    iTunes won't open after downloading software update.  Macbook Pro OSX10.6.8  Simple solution?  And by the way, this is apparently a common problem and Apple has completely failed to warn in advance or offer a quick straightforward solution - used to be a good company, but it's becoming just another crappy screw-the-consumer corporation.

    It would help to know versions here.  I'm guessing your update put an older version of something into a place where a newer version of something iTunes put in there existed.  Updating an earlier OSX version to 10.6.8 is still only updating to system software that was issued several years ago.  If you are running some slightly newer version of iTunes issued subsequent to 10.6.8 and you just updated to 10.6.8 you may have put in an older version of something iTunes uses.  Anyway, I'm guessing here until we know exactly what you did.

  • Aperture library won't open after using new iphoto

    My Aperture library won't open after accidently using iphoto to view it. It says Aperture is outdated but I run 3.4.5 version which is the last.
    Now I CAN'T DO MY WORK thanks to this lunacy.
    Anyone any suggestions how to fix this ****?

    Also one more thing
    On the MacBook Air - Where aperture is working fine and loading the library, i tried to change the name of the library and then when I tried to open it it shouted with the error ""Error Opening Library--The library could not be imported because it is from an out of date version of Aperture 3. Please upgrade the library to the latest version of Aperture 3 and try again""
    But when I changed the name back it was working fine again on the MacBook AIr
    Should i be worried that when i look at the get info on my library it says it's an aperture library 3.5.1 ?

    I use the free Unarchiver: http://unarchiver.c3.cx/unarchiver
    I have just tested it on a self-extracting Windows Internet Explorer and it opened it first time on my Mac.
    However, as you have been told, normally Windows executable files cannot be opened or used on Macs.

  • Applications won't open after software update

    after i installed an automatic software update on my iBook G4, and did the restart, several applications won't open such as Safari, iTunes, iChat. I tried to reinstall the software update, but that won't open either. it just jumps up and down like normal, and then won't open. after i try again, it jumps only once. what the heck is happening??? and i'm not very computer smart so dumb it up for me

    Hello, and a warm welcome to the forums!
    Could be many things, we should start with this...
    "Try Disk Utility
    1. Insert the Mac OS X Install disc that came with your computer, then restart the computer while holding the C key.
    2. When your computer finishes starting up from the disc, choose Disk Utility from the Installer menu. (In Mac OS X 10.4 or later, you must select your language first.)
    *Important: Do not click Continue in the first screen of the Installer. If you do, you must restart from the disc again to access Disk Utility.*
    3. Click the First Aid tab.
    4. Click the disclosure triangle to the left of the hard drive icon to display the names of your hard disk volumes and partitions.
    5. Select your Mac OS X volume.
    6. Click Repair. Disk Utility checks and repairs the disk."
    http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=106214
    Then Safe Boot from the HD, (holding Shift key down at bootup), run Disk Utility in Applications>Utilities, then highlight your drive, click on Repair Permissions, reboot.
    The usual reason why updates fail or mess things up, is if Permissions are not fixed before & after every update, with a reboot... you may get a partial update when the installer finds it doesn't have Permissions to change one obscure little part of the OS, leaving you with a mix of OS versions.
    Some people get away without Repairing Permissions for years, some for only days.
    If Permissions are wrong before applying an update, you could get mixed OS versions, if Directory is the slightest messed up, who knows!
    If many Permission are repaired, or any Directory errors are found, you may need to re-apply some the latest/biggest updates.

  • CS photoshop suddenly won't open after 5 years

    CS photoshop suddenly won't open after running perfectly for 5 years. I do not have the original install disc.
    Any suggestions? Apple and Adobe Tech folks could not help.

    Cris (and Tai Lao)
    there was no installation of a scanner (my Canon LiDe 500F scanner 
    has worked just fine for years) or camera driver (altho I had 
    recently downloaded some pix from my nikon onto iphoto) BUT— your 
    idea was brilliant!--disable Twain, which I did and ps launched 
    successfully!!
    Now, as Tai Loa predicted, I can no longer import the scanner thru 
    ps. Given my current work crunch that's not so terrible, but how does 
    one access a scanner without using ps? If you have had just about 
    enough of me and want to pass on that question I'll understand.
      I am ever so grateful to the two of you for making my ps usable 
    again, but it's midnight here in NYC and I have to pack up my tent 
    and  look for your scanner question reply at the crack of dawn 
    tomorrow. It's been an exhausting anxiety-ridden day but I'm relieved 
    and grateful that there are bright people like both of you out there, 
    interested and willing to help. Many thanks.

    My messages app won't open, after I sent a large iMessage. I think it just has too much data on it. What can I do other then reset my iPhone?

    Hi everyone, I had this problem but none of the solutions above worked. What happened with me, and with others in other forums, is that a particular thread or message was causing the problem. I'd go to open the message and all I'd get was a white screen with the blue bar at the top. So, I went into contacts, pressed 'send message' to a contact whose message wasn't causing the problem, then I pressed back to messages. You then swipe to the left on the thread that's causing the problem, and delete it. Sadly this means you will lose all that person's messages, but you can try opening it from there and deleting it on the thread. Didn't work for me though. Hope that helps! It was the only thing that worked for me after about three days of total frustration and resetting!

  • ITunes won't open after downloading 7.0

    My iTunes won't open after downloading 7.0, what should I do?

    replying to Robert
    I get a Windows error code of 0x666D743F
    First see:
    iTunes 7 for Windows: iTunes fails to launch with an unknown error
    There are some other possibilities
    That error has been known to be produced by having Total Recorder or the Volume Logic plug-in installed on the PC.
    For a workaround for Total Recorder, see:
    chuckieb: One fix for iTunes 7 "0x666D743F" error
    To check on the Volume Logic issue, see:
