16 BIT CALLS TO oracle 8i

I am implementing an applicatoin that makes 16 bit calls. Is is true that 16 bit calls are no longer supported from 8i onwards ??
Can anyone please advise

I believe Oracle7 was the last release that included a 16-bit ODBC driver. Oracle7 was desupported, IIRC, Dec 31, 2000. It may be possible to connect to an 8i database from an Oracle7 client using the 16-bit ODBC driver, but this isn't a supported configuration.

How to call an Oracle Procedure and get a return value in Php

Hi Everyone,
Has anyone tried calling an Oracle procedure from Php using the ora functions and getting the return value ? I need to use the ora funtions (no oci)because of compatibility and oracle 7.x as the database.
The reason why I post this here is because the ora_exec funtion is returning FALSE but the error code displayes is good. Is this a bug in the ora_exec funtion ?
My code after the connection call is as follows:
$cur = ora_open($this->conn);
ora_commitoff($this->conn);
$requestid = '144937';
echo $requestid;
$rc = ora_parse($cur, "begin p_ins_gsdata2
(:requestid, :returnval); end;");
if ($rc == true) {
echo " Parse was successful ";
$rc2 = ora_bind ($cur, "requestid", ":requestid", 32, 1);
if ($rc2 == true) echo " Requestid Bind Successful ";
$rc3 = ora_bind ($cur, "returnval", ":returnval", 32, 2);
if ($rc3 == true) echo " Returnval Bind Successful ";
$returnval = "0";
$rc4 = ora_exec($cur);
echo " Result = ".$returnval." ";
if ($rc4 == false) {
echo " Exec Returned FALSE ";
echo " Error = ".ora_error($cur);
echo " ";
echo "ErrorCode = ".ora_errorcode($cur);
echo "Error Executing";
ora_close ($cur);
The Oracle procedure has a select count from a table and it returns the number of records in that table. It's defined as:
CREATE OR REPLACE procedure p_ins_gsdata2 (
p_requestid IN varchar2 default null,
p_retcode OUT varchar2)
as
BEGIN
SELECT COUNT (*) INTO p_retcode
FROM S_GSMRY_DATA_SURVEY
WHERE request_id = p_requestid ;
COMMIT;
RETURN;
END;
Nothing much there. I want to do an insert into a table,
from the procedure later, but I figured that I start with a select count since it's simpler.
When I ran the Php code, I get the following:
144937
Parse was successful
Requestid Bind Successful
Returnval Bind Successful
Result = 0
Exec Returned FALSE
Error = ORA-00000: normal, successful completion -- while
processing OCI function OBNDRA
ErrorCode = 0
Error Executing
I listed the messages on separate lines for clarity. I don't understand why it parses and binds o.k. but the exec returns false.
Thanks again in advance for your help. Have a great day.
Regards,
Rudi

retcode=`echo $?`is a bit convoluted. Just use:
retcode=$?I see no EOF line terminating your input. Your flavour of Unix might not like that - it might ignore the command, though I'd be surprised (AIX doesn't).
replace the EXEC line with :
select 'hello' from dual;
and see if you get some output - then you know if sqlplus commands are being called from your script. You didn't mentioned whether you see the banner for sqlplus. Copy/paste the output that you get, it will give us much more of an idea.

C# DLL Calls in Oracle Forms 6i

Dear all,
I want to call a C# ( C Sharp) functions in Oracle Forms 6i , How it is possible , If any body knows give me a suggestion...
C# Codes
using System;

return (a + b);
same codes I want to call using Oracle Forms 6i . ... ( AddClass.Add(10,20) ) value should return 30.
C# Developer created the DLL file and given to me , I am not able to attach the DLL , anybody interest I can send the DLL through E-mail ,

The Forms Builder Help is the best source of information. It has plenty of examples too, like this one I copied from the Help:
/* Find foreign library handle for
   a given library name */
BEGIN
   libhandle := ora_ffi.find_library
            ('mylib.dll');
END;

Call to Oracle stored procedure that returns ref cursor doesn't work

I'm trying to use an OData service operation with Entity Framework to call an Oracle stored procedure that takes an number as an input parameter and returns a ref cursor. The client is javascript so I'm using the rest console to test my endpoints. I have been able to successful call a regular Oracle stored procedure that takes a number parameter but doesn't return anything so I think I have the different component interactions correct. When I try calling the proc that has an ref cursor for the output I get the following an error "Invalid number or type of parameters". Here are my specifics:
App.config

end GetWorkOrdersByWindFarmId;
I defined a function import for the stored procedure using the directions I found online by creating a new complex type. I don't know if I should be defining the input parameter, WindfarmId, in my app.config? If I should what would that format look like? I also don't know if I'm invoking the stored procedure correctly in my service operation? I'm testing everything through the rest console because the client consuming this information is written in javascript and expecting a json format. Any help is appreciated!

Making the change you suggested still resulted in the same Oracle.DataAccess.Client.OracleException {"ORA-06550: line 1, column 8:\nPLS-00306: wrong number or types of arguments in call to 'GETWORKORDERSBYWINDFARMID'\nORA-06550: line 1, column 8:\nPL/SQL: Statement ignored"} System.Exception {Oracle.DataAccess.Client.OracleException}
I keep thinking it has to do with my oracle.dataaccess.client settings in App.Config because I don't actually put the WindfarmId and an input parameter. I tried a few different ways to do this but can't find the correct format.

Can I run 32 bit version of Oracle 10g grid on Linux x86-64?

Since Oracle did not release 64 bit version of Oracle 10g grid for Linux X86-64. Can I run 32 bit version of Oracle 10g grid on Linux x86-64? If so did anyone tried this? and also any known issues?

All I had to do was use the 32bit version of "/usr/bin/gcc" and "/usr/bin/g++" to run the installation
That is:
bin]# cp -p /usr/bin/gcc /usr/bin/gcc_old
bin]# mv /usr/bin/gcc /usr/bin/gcc323
mv: overwrite `/usr/bin/gcc323'? y
bin]# ln -s /usr/bin/gcc296 /usr/bin/gcc
bin]# cp -p /usr/bin/g++ /usr/bin/g++_old
bin]# mv /usr/bin/g++ /usr/bin/g++323
mv: overwrite `/usr/bin/g++323'? y
bin]# ln -s /usr/bin/g++296 /usr/bin/g++
AFTER INSTALLATION REMEMBER TO
move back the 64bit files to their former state.
bin]#rm /usr/bin/g++
bin]#rm /usr/bin/gcc
bin]#mv /usr/bin/gcc_old /usr/bin/gcc
bin]#mv /usr/bin/g++_old /usr/bin/g++

Hi
While calling From Oracle Forms 11g patch set 2(11.1.1.3.0) to Oracle Reports 11g patch set 2(11.1.1.3.0) I found unable to run report error
But its finely working in 10g. The Place of error is in find_report_object
Is any solution to resolve this problem like any registry setting or patches to solve this problem
Please guide me

Although the site does appear to be having problems. I got intermittent errors of the page/server not being available.

Calling a Oracle Stored Procedure which will take a while to complete

Hey.
I'm calling a Oracle stored procedure which goes of and do a whole lot of things and therefore takes a fair while to complete.
Currently I am doing this:
String sql = "begin concorde.start_transfer(); end;";
HibernateUtil.getSessionFactory().openStatelessSession().connection().prepareCall(sql).execute();
....Where HibernateUtil is just a mean to get to the SessionFactory. The connection I get is the same one as a JDBC, I think.
I would want to regain control of the application as soon as the procedure is called and continue with the rest of the logic.
How do I do that? Do I have to initiate it from a different thread?
Thanks

If it was me I wouldn't have a stored proc that took a while to complete. Instead I would submit a job to job queue. In terms of implementation I would call a proc that writes a record to a table. Then a process in the database polls that table and runs jobs it finds there. Then reports results somewhere.
Sometime later you collect the results.
But without that then the solution in java is obvious - create a thread.

XI calling an Oracle Stored Procedure which returns an Object to XI

I am currently trying to call an Oracle Packaged/Procedure from XI which accepts a couple of parameters as I/O and returns an Object as one of the parameters.
I have created the Object within the Oracle Database CREATE OR REPLACE TYPE xy_jdbc AS OBJECT
column_name type ...etc
CREATE OR REPLACE TYPE xy_tab_jdbc AS TABLE OF xy_jdbc;
One of the parameters for the stored procedure is set up as this type xy_tab_jdbc this will be populated based upon one of the parameters passed into the Package/Procedure.
Is this possible? If it is, how do I map the returned object within XI?

Dear Hilary,
the JDBC adapter does not support vendor-specific or non-scalar data types.
Workaround: Change the stored proc's signature not to use an object, but the object's fields instead.

Thilo

How to call a Oracle Proc,which contains Object Type as in Param, from java

Hi
Would like to know how to call a Oracle Procedure which contains the Object Type Parameter from java.
Here is my code will look like...
1. CREATE OR REPLACE TYPE emp AS OBJECT
Empno NUMBER,
Ename VARCHAR2(50)
[COLOR=royalblue]In step1 I have created object type.[COLOR]
2.CREATE OR REPLACE PACKAGE ref_pkg IS

Now I need to invoke this procedure from JAVA.
Calling a procedure doesn�t matter.
But how I can map objecttype ? how will java recognize oracle object ?
How can I implement this ?
Any Help/Clues is Appreciated.
Thanks

Hi Bob
You can call a stored proc from a database control with the jc:sql annotation itself.
Assume a stored proc taking one In parameter
* @jc:sql statement="call sp_updateData({id})"
void call_sp_updateCust(int id);
You can even call stored proc with OUT parameters using
* @jc:sql statement="{call sp_MyProc(?, ?)}"
void call_sp_MyProc(SQLParameter[] params)
You can also call stored functions via db control.
More info and diff ways to call at

Stored Procedure call to Oracle - issue

hi ,
I am trying to call a receiver JDBC adapter to call an oracle stored procedure -
I got this error ->
java.sql.SQLException: ORA-06550: line 1, column 7: PLS-00306: wrong number or types of arguments in call - which I understand is related to mismatch btw the XML and Stored procedure
I checked the XMl and it matches the stored procedure call. I have two specific questions -
1) I have used SAP Note 801367 to have a look at the SQl command sent to the db.. However I do not see the stored procedure in the Audit logs...Does this feature work for Stored procedures too?
2) Can you look at the XML sent to the JDBC adapter...I saw something wierd... even though I had declared the isOutput attribute first and then attribute type... when I loaded the MT into the mapping the order changed...Does than matter?
<customer_id isInput="true" type="VARCHAR">5000123</customer_id>
<product_id isInput="true" type="VARCHAR">0041003</product_id>

java.sql.SQLException: ORA-06550: line 1, column 7: PLS-00306: wrong number or types of arguments in call

Arvind,
Just to be sure: are all inputs to yourstored procedure of type varchar, or are there maybe inputs with different types?
A mismatch between the type specified in the XML and the expected inputs of the SP can also cause this error.

Can a PL/SQL code of timesten be called in oracle or vice versa

Hi
In IMDB cache setup with AWT cache group , the pl/sql code or procedure that is written in oracleDB can it be called in TimesTen and vice versa
example: In a stored procedure the DML's that are performed will be updating the cache tables and log table in oracleDB.
Will there be any performance impact.
Regards
Siva Kumar

A PL/SQL procedure can exist in Oracle DB, in TimesTen, or in both. You control that by where you create the procedure. Procedures that exist in Oracle can really only be called in Oracle and can only access data in Oracle. Procedures that exist in TimesTen can only be called in TimesTen and can only access data in TimesTen. There is a limited capability, using the TimesTen PassThrough capability to call PL/SQL procedures located in Oracle, from Timesten, and for Timesten PL/SQL procedures to access data in Oracle. Using PassThrough does have some overhead.

32 bit expdp.exe on 64 bit installation of Oracle DB 10g

Hello,
This may sound a bit strange but here goes. I have 64 bit version of Oracle 10g release 2 (10.2.04) installed on Windows Server 2008 64 bit. I have found that when accessing the server through my telnet program I cannot run expdp.exe. I always get this error "The system cannnot execute the specified program"
After a bit of troubleshooting I have found that the problem is the telnet program that I am using cannot launch the 32 bit version of expdp.exe. If I load the 32 bit version of Oracle 10g on a 64 bit server I can run expdp.ese in the telnet session.
So my question is: does anyone know how to load the 32 bit version od expdp.exe in a 64 bit version of Oracle 10g, to replace the 64 bit version of the expdp.exe? Or is this not possible at all?
Quinton

I found it's hard approve that's the problem of telnet. when you telnet, you are on the server, if server is 64bit you should be able to run the command.
If you want to install 32bit version expdp. you can do a seperate Oracle client installation on the server with different ORACLE_HOME. patch to the same level as server.
Still I question the root cause is telnet. Did you try other method to connect to server? telnet is not safest connection per-se, most production server will have it disabled anyway.

How to call an Oracle Report from a Self Service HR page.

Hi,
I am trying to call an Oracle Report from a Self Service HR page. I personalized the page to add a button and link the report's URL to that button; but I am having issues passing/manipulating parameters to this report.
Is there a better approach to do this, please post your suggestions. Also If you can direct me to some usefull documentation that will be great.
Any help will be greatly appreciated.
Regards
Hilal

Tapash,
Thanks for reponding.
Here is the URL I am currently using :
https://gccss.glendale.edu:8001/dev60cgi/rwcgi60?server=rep60_crp3+userid=apps/pswd@crp3+report=/u07/oracle/crp3appl/gcccus/11.5.0/reports/US/GCC_ACCRUAL_BAL_0505.rdf+desformat=html+paramform=yes+destype=cache+p_accesscode=""
The p_accesscode is the parameter I need to pass to the Oracle report.
Currently, when I click the button, it invokes the above URL and takes me to the parameter form of the Oracle report and when I enter the Username, it runs the report and displays the desired output. But, what I need to achieve is, to pass the current user who has logged in behind the scene and to get rid of the parameter screen totally. Is this doable ? If yes, please help me !!!
Thanks

Best practice on calling an Oracle Bpel process

Trying to find the best practice calling an Oracle Bpel process. I know that I can call the process via database, app server, anothe bpel process, from an application, cron job, etc... I can do any of these but want some feed back on what others do and what method is the best.
Thanks

Your right there are a lot of different ways to call the BPEL WS. I guess what I'm asking is if you had several of these options at your disposal what way would you choose?
I have an asych bpel process that needs to be called once a day to move some data from one db to another. What do you think is the best way to perform this: from the db cron or Oracle job scheduler, the bpel manager on a timer, etc. I'm leaning towards calling it from the db via a cron or an oracle job. Want to know if there is a best practice for something like this.
Thanks
