9iAS DAD file upload

Question

I have no problem with HTMLDB running against the OHS that installed with my 9i database server. When I create a DAD on my 9iAS server and access HTMLDB on the database everything but the file upload seems to work. What am i missing?

Answer 1

the four DAD parameters that play into the file upload process are PlsqlDocumentTablename, PlsqlDocumentPath, PlsqlDocumentProcedure, and PlsqlNLSLanguage. our default install would have you set up the first three parms as...
PlsqlDocumentTablename wwv_flow_file_objects$
PlsqlDocumentPath docs
PlsqlDocumentProcedure wwv_flow_file_manager.process_download
...the PlsqlNLSLanguage parameter's value is specific to your db setup. to figure out that value, you could run this proc...
set serveroutput on;
declare
l_NLS_LANGUAGE varchar2(100) default null;
l_NLS_TERRITORY varchar2(100) default null;
l_NLS_CHARACTERSET varchar2(100) default null;
begin
select value
into l_NLS_LANGUAGE
from nls_database_parameters
where parameter = 'NLS_LANGUAGE';
select value
into l_NLS_CHARACTERSET
from nls_database_parameters
where parameter = 'NLS_CHARACTERSET';
select value
into l_NLS_TERRITORY
from nls_database_parameters
where parameter = 'NLS_TERRITORY';
sys.dbms_output.put_line ( 'nls_language = {'||l_NLS_LANGUAGE ||'}');
sys.dbms_output.put_line ( 'nls_territory = {'||l_NLS_TERRITORY ||'}');
sys.dbms_output.put_line ( 'nls_characterset = {'||l_NLS_CHARACTERSET ||'}');
sys.dbms_output.put_line ( 'add this line to your DAD config:');
sys.dbms_output.put_line ( 'PlsqlNLSLanguage '||l_NLS_LANGUAGE||'_'||l_NLS_TERRITORY||'.'||l_NLS_CHARACTERSET );
end;
i'm hoping that correctly setting up these four DAD parameters will fix your file upload issue. if not, please do let us know (including specific details).
thanks,
