Best practice for calling stored procedures as target

The scenario is this:
1) Source is from a file or oracle table
2) Target will always be oracle pl/sql stored procedures which do the insert or update (APIs).
3) Each failure from the stored procedure must log an error so the user can re-submit the corrected file for those error records
There is no option to create an E$ table, since there is no control option for the flow around procedures.
Is there a best practice around moving data into Oracle via procedures? In Oracle EBS, many of the interfaces are pure stored procs and not batch interface tables. I am concerned that I must build dozens of custom error tables around these apis. Then it feels like it would be easier to just write pl/sql batch jobs and schedule with concurrent manager in EBS (skip ODI completely). In that case, one could write to the concurrent manager log and the user could view the errors and correct.
I can get a simple procedure to work in ODI where the source is the SQL, and the target is the pl/sql call to the stored proc in the database. It loops through every row in the sql source and calls the pl/sql code.
But I can not see how to set which rows have failed and which table would log errors to begin with.
Thank you,
Erik

Hi Erik,
Please, take a look in these posts:

They could help you in a way to solve your problem.
I already used it to call Oracle EBS API's and worked pretty well.
I believe that an IKM could be build to automate all the work but I never stopped to try...
Does it help you?

"Best Practice" for a stored procedure that needs to access two schemas?

Greetings all,
When my company's application is deployed, two schema owners are typically created and all database objects divided between the two. I'll call them FIRST and SECOND.
In a standard, vanilla implementation there is never any reason for the two to "talk to each other". No rights to objects in one schema are ever granted to the other.
I am currently charged, however, with writing custom code to roll up data from one of the schemas and update tables in the other with the rollups. I have created a user whose job it is to run this process, and this user has the proper permissions to all necessary objects in both schemas. I'll call this user MRBATCH.
Typically, any custom objects, whether they be additional staging tables, temp tables or stored procedures are saved in the FIRST schema. I tried to save this new stored procedure in the FIRST schema and compile it, but got "Insufficient priviliges" errors whenever the code in the stored procedure tried to access any tables in the SECOND schema. This surprised me a little bit because I had no plans to actually EXECUTE the stored procedure as FIRST, but I guess I can understand it from the point of view of, you ought be able to execute something you own.
So which would be be "better" (assuming there's any difference): Grant FIRST all of the rights it needs in SECOND and save the stored procedure in FIRST, or could I just save the stored procedure in the MRBATCH schema? I'm not sure which would be "better practice".
Is there a third option I'm overlooking perhaps?
Thanks
Joe

In this case I would put it again into schema THIRD. This is a kind of API schema. There are procedures in it that allow some customized functionality. And since you grant only the right to execute those procedures (should be packages of cause) you won't get into any conflicts about allowing somebody too much.
Note that this suggestion seems very similiar to putting the procedure directly to the executing user MRBATCH. It depends how this schemauser is used. I always prefer separating users from schemas.
By definition the oracle object to represent a schema is identical to the oracle object representing a user (exception: externally defined users).
my definition is:
Schema => has objects (tables, packages) and uses tables space
User => has priviledges (including create session and connect) and uses temp tablespace only. Might have synonyms and views.
You can mix both, but sometimes it makes much sense to separate one from the other.

Best practices to use stored procedure

Just wondering about best practices of using Stored procedures in TOPLink with respect to Objects. Any thoughts on this?
I find the approach suggested at re:Coding for Stored Procedures is a lot of work! seems to be fine.
Is there any thoughts on converting results directly into Java objects?
Murali

I encountered the same problems.
See the topic I posted: Re: Mapping a Java attribute to the result of a function call
The solution I used is good, but has its restrictions.
I created a database view on the query that uses stored functions. Then, I mapped my object to the database view. Problem solved.
However, like I said, this solution has its restrictions:
1) Your database must support views
2) This only works for read-only queries
I hope this helps you any further.
Kind regards,

Creation of DB Adaptert for calling stored procedure in MS SQL server

Hi,
I need to create a DB adapter to call a stored procedure in MS SQL Server.
I have gone thru the thread MS SQL Server database connection
It mentions that we need to use a command line utility for generating the wsdl and xsd for calling stored procedures in MS SQL server. Please provide information where to find this utility and how to use it.
Any links to tutorials are welcome.
Thanks !!.
Silas.

Command line is required for stored procedures, if you are using the basic options you don't need to worry.
(1) Download MS SQL Server 2005 JDBC Driver from Microsoft Site. http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/data/aa937724.aspx
(2) The download is self extracting exe file. Extract this into Program Files on your machine. It should create folder as "Microsoft SQL Server 2005 JDBC Driver"
(3) In above mentioned folder search for sqljdbc.jar copy this file into JDeveloper\JDBC\lib folder.
(4) Open JDeveloper/jdev/bin/jdev.conf file add following entry.
AddJavaLibPath C:/Program files/Microsoft SQL Server 2000 Driver for JDBC/lib
While executing this step make sure that your JDeveloper is closed.
(5) On command prompt go to J Developer folder and execute following command
jdev -verbose
This will open JDeveloper.
(6) Now go to JDeveloper > Connections > Database Connections > New Database Connection
(7) Select Third Party JDBC
(8) Specify MS Sql Server User Name, password and Role.
(9) In connection page specify following
- Driver Class: com.microsoft.sqlserver.jdbc.SQLServerDriver
- For class path browse to C:/Program files/Microsoft SQL Server 2000 Driver for JDBC/lib folder, select sqljdbc.jar add it as library.
- Specify URL as following.
jdbc:sqlserver://SERVERNAME:1433;databaseName=MSSQLDBNAME;
(10) Go to Test page and test it.
cheers

Need sample source code for calling stored procedure in Oracle

Hi.
I try to call stored procedure in oracle using JCA JDBC.
Anybody have sample source code for that ?
Regards, Arnold.

Thank you very much for a very quick reply. It worked, but I have an extended problem for which I would like to have a solution. Thank you very much in advance for your help. The problem is described below.
I have the Procedure defined as below in the SFCS1 package body
Procedure Company_Selection(O_Cursor IN OUT T_Cursor)
BEGIN
Open O_Cursor FOR
SELECT CompanyId, CompanyName
FROM Company
WHERE CompanyProvince IN ('AL','AK');
END Company_Selection;
In the Oracle Forms, I have a datablock based on the above stored procedure. When I execute the form and from the menu if I click on Execute Query the data block gets filled up with data (The datablock is configured to display 10 items as a tabular form).
At this point in time, I want to automate the process of displaying the data, hence I created a button and from there I want to call this stored procedure. So, in the button trigger I have the following statements
DECLARE
A SFCS1.T_Cursor;
BEGIN
SFCS1.Company_Selection(A);
go_Block ('Block36');
The cursor goes to the corresponding block, but does not display any data. Can you tell me how to get the data displayed. In the future versions, I'm planning to put variables in the WHERE clause.

Best practice for calling application module methods and plsql code

In my application I am experiencing problems with connection pooling, I seem to be using a lot of connections in my application when only a few users are using the system. As part of our application we need to call database procedures for business logic.
Our backing beans, call methods on the application module which in turn call a database procedure. For instance in the backing bean we have code like this to call the application module method.
// Calling Module to generate new examination/test.
CIGAppModuleImpl appMod = (CIGAppModuleImpl)Configuration.createRootApplicationModule("ky.gov.exam.model.CIGAppModule", "CIGAppModuleLocal");
String testId = appMod.createTest( userId, examId, centerId).toString();
AdfFacesContext.getCurrentInstance().getPageFlowScope().put("tid",testId);
// Close the call
System.out.println("Calling releaseRootApplicationModule remove");
Configuration.releaseRootApplicationModule(appMod, true);
System.out.println("Completed releaseRootApplicationModule remove");
return returnResult;
In the application module method we have the following code.
System.out.println("CIGAppModuleImpl: Call the database and use the value from the iterator");
CallableStatement cs = null;
try{
cs = getDBTransaction().createCallableStatement("begin ? := macilap.user_admin.new_test_init(?,?,?); end;", 0);
cs.registerOutParameter(1, Types.NUMERIC);
cs.setString(2, p_userId);
cs.setString(3, p_examId);
cs.setString(4, p_centerId);
cs.executeUpdate();
returnResult=cs.getInt(1);
System.out.println("CIGAppModuleImpl.createTest: Return Result is " + returnResult);
}catch (SQLException se){
throw new JboException(se);
finally {
if (cs != null) {
try {
cs.close();
catch (SQLException s) {
throw new JboException(s);
I have read in one of Steve Muench presentations (Oracle Fusion Applications Team' Best Practises) that calling the createRootApplicationModule method is a bad idea, and to call the method via the binding interface.
I am assuming calling the createRootApplicationModule uses much more resources and database connections that calling the method through the binding interface such as
BindingContainer bindings = getBindings();
OperationBinding ob = bindings.getOperationBinding("customMethod");
Object result = ob.execute()
Is this the case? Also is using getDBTransaction().createCallableStatement the best way of calling database procedures. Would it be better to expose plsql packages as webservices and then call them from the applicationModule. Is this more efficient?
Regards
Orlando

Thanks Shay, this is now working.
I successfully got the binding to the application method in the pagedef.
I used the following code in my backing bean.
package view.backing;
import oracle.binding.BindingContainer;
import oracle.binding.OperationBinding;
public class Testdatabase {
private DCBindingContainer bindingContainer;
public void setBindingContainer (DCBindingContainer bc) {this.bindingContainer = bc;}
public DCBindingContainer getBindingContainer() {return bindingContainer;}
public static String validateUser()
// Calling Module to validate user and return user role details.
System.out.println("Getting Binding Container from Home Backing Bean");
BindingContainer bindings = BindingContext.getCurrent().getCurrentBindingsEntry();
System.out.println("Obtain binding");
OperationBinding operationBinding = bindings.getOperationBinding("calldatabase");
System.out.println("Set username parameter");
operationBinding.getParamsMap().put("p_userId",userId);
System.out.println("Set password parameter");
operationBinding.getParamsMap().put("p_testId",examId);
Object result = operationBinding.execute();
System.out.println("Obtain result");
String userRole = result.toString();
System.out.println("Result is "+userRole);
}

Best Practice for calling CFC

Hi,
In a web application, if I need to call a CFC method from a different CFC, what would be considered as the best way of doing it?
For example, let's say I have two components: Customer and Product. From a method functionA in Customer, I would like to call functionB in Product. I can do one of the following, but which way is best practice and why?
1. Create a Product object in functionA, and use it to call functionB
<cfcomponent name="Customer">
     <cffunction name="functionA">
          <cfset productObj = createObject('component', 'Product')>
          <cfset productObj.functionB()>
     </cffunction>
</cfcomponent>
2. Pass a Product object when we initialize a Customer object, and use that to call functionB
<cfcomponent name="Customer">
     <cffunction name="init">
          <cfargument name="productObj">
          <cfset variables.productObj = arguments.productObj>
     </cffunction>
     <cffunction name="functionA">
          <cfset variables.productObj.functionB()>
     </cffunction>
</cfcomponent>
3. Assume that Customer object has access to the Product object in the application scope
<cfcomponent name="Customer">
     <cffunction name="functionA">
          <cfset application.productObj.functionB()>
     </cffunction>
</cfcomponent>
Thank you very much.

The first two are fine. If the CFC being called is always gonna be the exact same one, then there's no prob directly referencing it in the calling CFC. If the CFC could vary, then pass it in.
If you're only using the CFC transiently, then you could use <cfinvoke> as well in this case.
Directly accessing an application-scoped CFC within a method is poor practice.

Syntax for calling Stored procedures?

Seems straightforward but I just can get the syntax.
Here's the procedure defined in SQL
CREATE Procedure usp_InsTest
@title varchar(150),
@length int,
@catid int,
@date datetime,
@filename varchar(50),
@typeid int,
@desc varchar(2000),
@statusid int,
@assign char(1),
@languageid int = null
as
Insert into test(TestTitle,TestLength,TestCatID,TestDate,TestFileName,
TestTypeID,TestDesc,TestStatusID,TestIsAssigned,
TestLanguageID)
values (@title,@length,@catid,@date,@filename,@typeid,@desc,
@statusid,@assign,@languageid)
GO
I have tried a number of ways. What is the correct sytax for calling a stored procedure with variables?

Here's what I've come up with...
Connection dbConn;
Driver d = (Driver)Class.forName("sun.jdbc.odbc.JdbcOdbcDriver").newInstance();
String URL = "jdbc:odbc:" + "cms";
dbConn = DriverManager.getConnection(URL, "sa", "");
CallableStatement s;
String x = "{call usp_InsTest(@title,@length,@catid,@date,@filename,@typeid,@desc,@statusid,@assign,@languageid)}";
Calendar c = Calendar.getInstance();
s = dbConn.prepareCall(x);
s.setString(1,TestTitle);
s.setInt(2,Integer.parseInt(TestLength));
s.setInt(3,6);
s.setDate(4,new java.sql.Date(System.currentTimeMillis()));
s.setString(5,TestFileName);
s.setInt(6,Integer.parseInt(TestTypeID));
s.setString(7,"Test Description");
s.setInt(8,Integer.parseInt(TestStatusID));
s.setInt(9,Integer.parseInt(TestIsAssigned));
s.setInt(10,1);
ResultSet r = s.executeQuery();
I get

Best practice for calling an AM method with parameters

Which will be the best way to call an AM method with parameters from a backing bean.
I usually use the BindingContainer to get the operation binding and then call execute function. But when the method have parameters, how to do it?

What is best practice for calling XI Services with Web Dynpro-Java?

We are trying to expose XI services to Web Dynpro via "Web Services". Our XI developers have successfully generated the WSDL file(s) for their XI services and handed off to the Web Dynpro developers.
The Java developers put the WSDL file to their local PC's and import as "Adaptive Web Services" data models. When the application is constructed and deployed to our development box, the application abends because the J2EE server on that box cannot locate the WSDL file at runtime (it was on the developers box at, say, "C:\temp\" and that directory does not exist on the dev server).
Since XI does not have a way of directly associating the generated WSDL file to the XI service, where is the best place to put the WSDL so it is readable at design time and at run time? Also, how do we reconcile that we'll have 3 WSDL files for each service (one for Dev, one for QA and one for Prod) and how is the model in Web Dynpro configured so it gets the right ome?
Does anyone have any good guide on how to do this? Have found plenty of "how to consume a Web Service in Web Dynpro" docs on SDN, but these XI services are not really traditional Web Services so the instructions break down when it comes time to deploy.

HI Bob,
As sometimes when you create a model using a local wsdl file then instead of refering to URL mentioned in wsdl file it refers to say, "C:\temp" folder from where you picked up that file. you can check target address of logical port. Due to this when you deploy application on server it try to search it in "c:\temp" path instead of it path specified at soap:address location in wsdl file.
Best way is re-import your Adaptive Web Services model using the URL specified in wsdl file as soap:address location.
like http://<IP>:<PORT>/XISOAPAdapter/MessageServlet?channel<xirequest>
or you can ask you XI developer to give url for webservice and username password of server

Best practices for securely storing environment properties

Hi All,
We have a legacy security module that is included in many
different applications. Historically the settings (such as
database/ldap username and password) was stored directly in the
files that use them. I'm trying to move towards a more centralized
and secure method of storing this information, but need some help.
First of all, i'm struggling a little bit with proper scoping
of these variables. If another application does a cfinclude on one
of the assets in this module, these environment settings must be
visible to the asset, but preferrably not visible to the 'calling'
application.
Second i'm struggling with the proper way to initialize these
settings. If other applications run a cfinclude on these assets,
the application.cfm in the local directory of the script that's
included does not get processed. I'm left with running an include
statement in every file, which i would prefer to avoid if at all
possible.
There are a ton (>50) applications using this code, so i
can't really change the external interface. Should i create a
component that returns the private settings and then set the
'public' settings with Server scope? Right now i'm using
application scope for everything because of a basic
misunderstanding of how the application.cfm's are processed, and
that's a mess.
We're on ColdFusion 7.
Thanks!

Hi,
Thank you for posting in Windows Server Forum.
As per my research, we can create some script for patching the server and you have 2 servers for each role. If this is primary and backup server respectively then you can manage to update each server separately and bypass the traffic to other server. After
completing once for 1 server you can just perform the same step for other server. Because as I know we need to restart the server once for successful patching update to the server.
Hope it helps!
Thanks.

Best practices for Calling Multiple Business Services in OSB

Hi All,
I have a requirement where I need to call multiple business services in OSB. We are presently calling them sequentially in a proxy pipeline. I was wondering if we could accomplish the same task in a better way. Each of the business services are mutually exclusive.
Thanks in Advance,
Rudraksh

Hi Eric,
Thanks for the response. We figured that it is possible to call multiple services with Split Join. However, we ran into the issue you described. We had a blocking call and had to wait until each of the services returned a response.
However, we needed a Async model for our design and felt that this might not be a right fit.
We are now looking at implementing the publish option with QoS configured as this fits our usecase better. Thanks for the help again.

Call stored procedure with a few unusal conditions

What is the best way for a stored procedure that has been passed an unknown number of parameters to call another stored procedure, (whose name is passed in as a parameter to procedure1), that returns a ref cursor or a dbms_sql cursor.
For example:
Procedure1 - passed unknown # of parameters in an array/table calls stored procedure2 that returns a ref cursor that you eventually want to pass all the way back down to the client.
I am using Oracle 11g.
1). I have gotten this to work using derivedparameters in .net - but this is considered bad practice due to the overhead, etc...
2). I have gotten this to work using execute immediate and bind variables.
EXECUTE IMMEDIATE v_sqlstmt using p_strarry(1), p_strarry(2), p_strarry(3), p_strarry(4), p_strarry(5), p_rc;
The problem with this technique is that you need to create a case statement that will use a different execute immediate statement for each arraycnt, since the using clause cannot be created dynamically. Also, considered bad. If I increase the number of elements in the array beyond what I have coded for then I need to add more when clauses to my case statement.
3). I have gotten this to work with execute immediate that contains no binding variables - but my understanding is that this causes the shared pool to populate and causes the server to have to be flushed, periodically.
4). I have read that with an unknown number of bind variables you need to use dbms_sql - I have been unable to find any reference as to a way I can return a ref cursor to the dbms_sql.cursor in a list of bind variables or a dbms_sql.cursor that returns multiple rows from a table to the original dbms_sql_cursor.
In case what I have said is not specific enough - a code snipplet from the execute immediate using bind variables, (1 above).:
PROCEDURE eiroutebvsproc(p_sprocname in varchar2,
p_strarry in StrArry,
p_rc IN OUT SYS_REFCURSOR)
IS
v_sqlstmt varchar2(300);
v_arrycnt int;
BEGIN
v_sqlstmt := 'begin ';
v_arrycnt := p_strarry.count;
CASE
WHEN (v_arrycnt = 1)
THEN v_sqlstmt := '';
WHEN (v_arrycnt = 2)
THEN v_sqlstmt := '';
WHEN (v_arrycnt = 3)
THEN v_sqlstmt := '';
WHEN (v_arrycnt = 4)
THEN v_sqlstmt := '';
WHEN (v_arrycnt = 5)
THEN v_sqlstmt := v_sqlstmt || p_sprocname || '(:2, :3, :4, :5, :6, :7);';
v_sqlstmt := v_sqlstmt || ' end;';
EXECUTE IMMEDIATE v_sqlstmt using p_strarry(1), p_strarry(2), p_strarry(3), p_strarry(4), p_strarry(5), p_rc;
ELSE v_sqlstmt :='ERROR';
END CASE;
this creates an anonymous block - that calls the 2nd procedure - The 2nd procedure name is passed into procedure1 as p_sprocname.
p_strarry contains an unknown # of parameters to be passed to the 2nd procedure. The 2nd procedure returns a ref cursor that is also an out parameter for procedure1 allowing for the ref cursor to be passed all the way back to the client.
Thank You,
Keith

If the application can tell the first procedure than name of the procedure to call, why can it not just call the required procedure instead?

Best Practice: continuously running db procedure

I've written a database procedure that pulls messages off an AQ. Then does some processing on them and stores the result on in a table. I'd like the procedure to run continuously. I also call the same procedure with different parameters which determine which messages will get pulled off. My questions are these:
1. what is the best practice for keeping this procedure running continuously? If the client side connection is eventually terminated will the process keep running? Set timeout somewhere for no timeout?
2. How to determine which procedure instances are running. I'm thinking I may need to create different schemas that have execute priviledge for the different instances so that I can atleast tell which process is which. Is there a better way to tell which is which if I need to kill one?
thanks,
dan

> 1. what is the best practice for keeping this procedure running continuously? If the client

DBMS_JOB or DBMS_SCHEDULER processes are ideal as these have no client part.
As for a client.. when it dies, it usually takes its server process with it. As soon as Oracle notices that the client is gone (usually when it attempts to send data to it), it will terminate the dedicated server process that serviced the client, or it will clean up the virtual circuit of the shared server session that serviced that client.

With DBMS_JOB/DBMS_SCHEDULER it is easy. You check the RUNNINGJOBS views. Details on these are in the [url http://download.oracle.com/docs/cd/B19306_01/server.102/b14237/toc.htm]Oracle® Database Reference guide.
