Anyone seen this?!?  ORA-32103: error from OCI call

Greetings all,
Getting this error (ORA-32103: error from OCI call) when calling Environment::getCacheMaxSize() after calling Environment::createEnvironment(). The error is not listed in the Oracle documentation and I was wondering if anyone had seen it or knew what it meant.
snippet
Environment* env = Environment::createEnvironment(Environment::THREADED_MUTEXED);
std::cout << "ok..\n";
std::cout << "The env pointer:" << env << std::endl;
std::cout << "ok..\n";
std::cout << "Here is a Env variable:" << env->getCacheMaxSize() << std::endl;
end snippet
Many thanks,
John Fauntleroy

Thanks for the response!
I've not been able to get to the connection stage of the process as the error occurs just after the createEnvironment() call.I believe the Evironment is not being created correctly for some reason but have no idea why because no exceptions are being thrown and the my testing only yields an unlisted error. ack, frustrating tstl! The error I'm getting is "ORA-32103: error from OCI call". ORA-32103 is not listed in the oracle error docs. ORA-32101 and ORA-32105 are listed but nothing in between. Is interesting...
Anyone got some ideas?
Best regards,
John Fauntleroy

    Human readable plugin names don't always equal the plugin's name. This plugin exists on your system. So... what plugins were you using at the time? This is usually caused by a 3rd party plugin.

    Ah yes school boy error there out of frustration and discontent..
    My issue is with music/apps/films etc not downloading from iTunes / App Store.
    They initially fail and message is displayed stating unable to download / purchase at this time, yet if I retry it says I've already purchased (?) or alternatively I go to the purchased section and there they are waiting with the cloud symbol..
    However some items get frozen in the download window and cannot be retried or deleted. Message appears stating to tap to retry, but even if you stole every bath and sink in the uk you'd still not have enough taps.
    I post here as the iTunes guys are useless in there 'help' and have only advised posting here or phoning apple, at my expense, to explain a problem that could be rectified by forwarding my original email to a techie. However the tech team apparently don't have an email address as they're from ye olde Middle Ages..!
    Anyways I digress.
    So I tried sync to pc, but instead of showing the file as ready to listen/use/view, the iCloud symbol shows and I'm back to square one as the item is unable to download..
    At frustration station waiting for a train from pain...
    All my software is up to date, and had all worked fine prior to the last big iOS update that resulted in all the changes in display and dismay.

  • Screen is "half out." Anyone seen this before, anything I can do?

    Hello,
    I am a first time contributor to the Apple Support Communities. I have a 2006/2007 era MacBook pro that the screen is half out. I would like to get this fixed for my wife to use as her desktop, but I would like some guidance before I take it into a Genius Bar. Has anyone seen this before? Is it an easy (inexpensive) fix or is it not worth it (given the age of the machine). Any help would be beneficial. The machine runs awesome, I can use it, as long as i use the top 1/3rd of the screen.
    Thank You,

  • Has anyone seen this display problem?

    I even changed my video card and still had the same issue? has anyone seen this or know how to fix this issue?
    I tried to show a screen capture but didnt have any luck but the issue is alot of my icons are showing pink lines on them and when in certain application and safari the pictures are showing up all pixelated with pink and green pixels instead of displaying the correct image? is it possible the AGP slot is bad? i just upgraded to 10.5.8 hoping to correct the problem but no luck. Also this is a Power PC 1.8 ghz.
    Thank You

    I wasn't notified that you asked me a question or that there was a new post on this topic. I should have been, that bugs me.
    Anyhow... Mr. Ah
    The problem that some people, mostly with a certain video card, were having was when they updated from 10.5.4 to 10.5.5. For many of them the problem went away when they went through the hassle of reverting back to 10.5.4.
    Did you +just recently+ update to 10.5.5? If you have, then their fix is for you too, going back to 10.5.4. If you have had 10.5.5 installed for a while now, and this just started happening, chances are good that it is your video card, or perhaps something affecting it like dust and dirt like DP says above.
    If you have another start up drive, firewire or internal, and you had enough space on it you might consider installing a previous OS 10.5 on there and start up from it. If the problem went away you would know it's 10.5.5. Perhaps even if you started up from your OS disc the problem might go away and again you'd know it was 10.5.5. Apple was made aware of the problem on some machines and said they were going to come out with a fix, but I don't think they ever did.
    Post back and say what the situation is, especially if you just recently updated to 10.5.5.
    And post back with what kind of G5 you have, look in the "About this Mac" window.
    Your card may be dying, but on the other hand it might be as easy as pulling it out, blowing it out, and putting the card back in again.

  • Problems with Apple ProRes 4444 and alpha channels in Motion 4 after upgrade to Snow Leopard.  Has anyone seen this?

    We've just now upgraded from Leopard to Snow Leopard and are having a problem with Apple ProRes 4444 and alpha channels in Motion 4.  A clip with an alpha which keyed perfectly before the upgrade, now will not key.  If I convert the clip to the Animation codec, it keys perfectly.  If I export the Motion project as a ProRes 4444 self contained movie, it will key when brought into FCP 7 but if I import the project into FCP 7, it will show the key in the viewer but not the canvas.  Has anyone seen this or have any suggestions on how to correct this?  Is it a bug? 
    Thanks,

    Motion 4.0.3
    It just doesn't seem to recognize the alpha at all. 

  • Has anyone seen this behaviour of AccessHW In Port?

    Yesterday I was trying to check the operation of a plug-in PCMCIA parallel port, specifically I wanted to know if there were any timing issues with this device on an XP machine, so I thought I would try the AccessHW In and Out functions in Labview. I installed an old copy of Labview 6.1 (It was 5:50PM and I wanted to do this fast!) and tried it.
    Reading the memory location where the device's status port was supposed to be just returned zero. Strange, I thought, so I tried some other addresses in the I/O range. I got zero from every single one. I tried the same on my own laptop, which is also XP, and I was getting sensible numbers from addresses in I/O space.
    Has anyone seen this behaviour? The machine has McAffee on-access protection running, which cannot be disabled (company IT policy), and I have a suspicion that this might be blocking accesses to low memory, is this possible?

    Sorry... my mind is not working well this morning   You had mentionned that in your original post and the fact that it is a PCMCIA parallel port.
    As for the address location, I have seen addresses in the 0x2000 region for add-on parallel ports (not PCMCIA).
    I haven't used a PMCIA device with Win-XP.  Does the address info for that port appear under properties when you look at the HW devices within the Control Panel's System.  From what I can recall, you can change the PCMCIA serial port number within the HW device, so maybe the properties will list the address.. 
    Have you checked this?

  • Has anyone seen this MacBook Pro 15" 2008 problem before?

    Hi. My MacBook Pro has developed a fault whereby a horizontal line appears on the screen, the mac freezes then a host of vertical lines gradually appear on the screen until it is obscured. Something similar happened in May last year and Apple charged me over £300 to repair it, replacing the 'mother board'.
    I have so far taken it into the Apple shop twice in the last week (a two hour round trip). Both times they have opened it, cleaned it and declared it fixed. This time it lasted about an hour before happening again, although this time at least I've been able to restart it.
    Has anyone seen this before, or have any advice about how best to proceed?
    I have put a video of the symptoms here:

    Thanks for reading. This is my first post so apologies if I've rambled a bit!

    MacBook Pro 15", late 2008.

    I wasn't notified that you asked me a question or that there was a new post on this topic. I should have been, that bugs me.
    Anyhow... Mr. Ah
    The problem that some people, mostly with a certain video card, were having was when they updated from 10.5.4 to 10.5.5. For many of them the problem went away when they went through the hassle of reverting back to 10.5.4.
    Did you +just recently+ update to 10.5.5? If you have, then their fix is for you too, going back to 10.5.4. If you have had 10.5.5 installed for a while now, and this just started happening, chances are good that it is your video card, or perhaps something affecting it like dust and dirt like DP says above.
    If you have another start up drive, firewire or internal, and you had enough space on it you might consider installing a previous OS 10.5 on there and start up from it. If the problem went away you would know it's 10.5.5. Perhaps even if you started up from your OS disc the problem might go away and again you'd know it was 10.5.5. Apple was made aware of the problem on some machines and said they were going to come out with a fix, but I don't think they ever did.
    Post back and say what the situation is, especially if you just recently updated to 10.5.5.
    And post back with what kind of G5 you have, look in the "About this Mac" window.
    Your card may be dying, but on the other hand it might be as easy as pulling it out, blowing it out, and putting the card back in again.

  • Pop-up window with an attempt to open a URL - has anyone seen this?

    I was browsing a website for music lyrics when a suspicious pop-up appeared, along with a very small browser window (about an inch square on the screen). This has happened twice even though I have pop-ups blocked.
    The pop-up had the Safari icon and looked like a standard mac window. The text contained the following:
    <edited by host>
    Antivirus 2009 will perform a quick and 100% free
    scan of your computer for Viruses, Spyware and Adware.
    Do you want to install Antivirus 2009 to scan your
    computer for malware now? (Recommended)
    There is a cancel and an OK button at the bottom.
    The small browser window appears to be contacting the onlineprivatescan.com URL
    I did a force-quit because I did not want to click either button.
    I reset Safari, and ran the DNSChanger Removal Tool
    from macupdate, but it didn't find anything. I have not loaded codecs from any websites and I had just completed the latest Apple updates for OSX, Quicktime and iTunes before this problem occured.
    Has anyone seen this? Is this serious? I've never had any problems with Safari before this.

    Mac OS X 10.4 Tiger automatically checks your downloads for malicious software and content that could harm your system or collect information from your computer. You can read more about that here:
    http://support.apple.com/kb/HT2340
    If you feel you need added protection, read on:
    SecureMac has introduced a free Trojan Detection Tool for Mac OS X. It's available here:
    http://macscan.securemac.com/
    The DNSChanger Removal Tool detects and removes spyware targeting Mac OS X. Called DNSChanger Trojan and also known as OSX.RSPlug.A Trojan Horse, the software attacks users attempting to play a fake video file.
    Upon attempting to play the video, the victim receives the following message:
    “Quicktime Player is unable to play movie file.
Please click here to download new version of codec.”
    Upon running the installer, the user's DNS records are modified, redirecting incoming internet traffic through the attacker's servers, where it can be hijacked and injected with malicious websites and pornographic advertisements. The trojan also installs a watchdog process that ensures the victim's DNS records stay modified on a minute-by-minute basis.
    SecureMac's DNSChanger Removal Tool allows users to check to see if the trojan has been installed on their computer; if it has, the software helps to identify and remove the offending file. After a system reboot, the users' DNS records will be repaired.
    There may be other ways of guarding against Trojans, viruses and general malware affecting the Mac. A white paper has recently been published on the subject by SubRosaSoft, available here:

    Also, beware of MacSweeper:
    MacSweeper is malware that misleads users by exaggerating reports about spyware, adware or viruses on their computer. It is the first known "rogue" application for the Mac OS X operating system. The software was discovered by F-Secure, a Finland based computer security software company on January 17, 2008

    The latest news on the subject, from July 25, 2008, is:
    Attack code that exploits flaws in the net's addressing system are starting to circulate online, say security experts.
    The code could be a boon to phishing gangs who redirect web users to fake bank sites and steal login details.
    In light of the news net firms are being urged to apply a fix for the loop-hole before attacks by hi-tech criminals become widespread.
    Net security groups say there is anecdotal evidence that small scale attacks are already happening.

    HAS ANYONE SEEN THIS BEFORE? HELP!

    Hello,
    As I promised, we checked in AVAYA center with AVAYA engineer how E60 works with AVAYA SIP server. We found that there is a problem to begin usage of IP telephone service. E60 always sad that craeted profile "Not registered". And don't like to act with WLAN network although WEB-browser works fine in the same time with the same AP-7 and WLAN settings.
    AVAYA took a timeout for identify what's a problem with E60. Some terms on Nokia setting don't correspond to AVAYA terms.
    I hope that it will take not a lot of time for AVAYA.
    I'll let you know about the results.
