Bug Generated in NT 4.0 sp 5

I recently installed Oracle Forms 6i and Reports 6i. Now though not all the time when I am logging off my workstation (standalone not on a network)the system crashes to the dreaded blue screen to preform a physical dump and the sys locks up causing me to have to hit the computers reset button. When I look at the Event Viewer in Administrative Tools is see the following entry for this event: Event Viewer - System Log on \\NTWKS 6/5/00
The computer has rebooted from a bugcheck. The bugcheck was: 0x0000000a (0x05010055, 0x00000002, 0x00000000, 0x80129df7). Microsoft Windows NT [v15.1381]. A full dump was not saved.
Has anyone else discovered this problem after installing Oracle Forms 6i and Reports 6i.
Thanks,
Glenn

Ant bug (generate buildfile) in EA 10.1.3.0.3?

When I try to create a new Ant buildfile from project for my JSF project using EA (10.1.3.0.3), I receive the following error: 
 
Could not complete Generate Ant buildfile because it would result in an invalid document.

Is that a bug?

Yes, this is a bug in the Early Access release. This can happen, for example, if there is a library in your project whose name contains a character such as a colon, single quote, slash, backslash, parenthesis, question mark, etc. In that case changing the library name should work around the issue.

BUG:generate accessors not doing anything on abstract class

I can't get a source file (abstract class) to generate accessors. I am using 10.1.3.0.0 production release. Concrete classes generate accessors fine.
Here is how to reproduce the problem:
Create an interface MyInterface with getMyThing() and setMyThing(String thing)
Create an abstract class that implements MyInterface
add a property and select generate accessor either from the source or from the menu "source"
nothing happens
remove the abstract keyword and the interface implementation -- generate accessors work fine

Hi Anuj,
Sorry for the reply delay. I didn't get a notification of reply on the post.
I am still able to get the error message dialog, along with the failure for the generation to terminate. (reproduced today 4/22/06 and others seem to be seeing it as well).
I can't identify anything specific in the steps.
Basically...
created a new application with ejb, adf, toplink
choose new project
choose toplink generate java objects
choose an existing validated database connection
select objects (all 4 tables in my little schema)
click through (...next...next...) to finish
locks up and dialog appears
I made a video of the steps, including verifying the database connection. If you want to see it, I'll email it to you.
here it is today (I've applied all updates available up to today):

May Release: New partner support, Infrastructure updates, Site templates and bug fixes

Link: http://www.businesscatalyst.com/_blog/BC_Blog/post/May-release-New-partner-support-Infrast ructure-updates-Site-templates-and_bug-fixes/
We are announcing a new Business Catalyst release, scheduled to go live on Thursday, May 3rd. With this release, we are continuing our investments in system performance and stability by increasing our web servers capacity, enabling HTTP acceleration to provide faster site loading times, and improving the site creation speed by using pre-generated sites.
On the product side, we have completely revamped our partner support workflow taking advantage of the Adobe support infrastructure and tools, enhanced the site templates workflow for partners, and included lots of bug fixes and improvements. Read through the following sections to get detailed information about this release:
Partner support
Infrastructure updates
Features and enhancements
Issues fixed by this release
What's next
You can jump to the corresponding section by clicking the above links.
Partner support
Updated Help & Support partner experience
Following Adobe ID support, we have upgraded BC support tools (cases, chat, documentation) with standard Adobe tools. As a partner, you can now benefit from the same support tools as the rest of Adobe Creative Suite, and can track your support cases with Adobe BC, Dreamweaver, Muse or Photoshop in a single place.
Partners with more than 100 paid sites will get 2nd level chat support, which includes a higher priority, by default. If you have more than 100 paid sites, but spread across different Partner Portals, please ask support to enable 2nd level chat for you.
Support experience for your Small Business owner clients can now be owned by partners (see below).
Custom Help & Support URL for your clients
As a partner, you are probably already offering various additional services to your clients besides building & maintaining their BC site. Support, tailored specifically to your client needs, is usually one of these value-added services. We are now enabling you to take your Support service to the next level. In Partner Portal Settings, you have the option to set a custom URL for what will open when your client clicks on Help & Support inside Admin Console:
If you have multiple partner accounts, for different verticals, you can specify a Support URL for each of these.
The default Support experience provided by BC for your clients will be updated in a few releases to be similar to the partner support experience. This includes BC-branded support cases and documentation. If you'd like to keep a white-label experience for your customers, please set your own Help & Support URL in Partner Portal.
For more details please read the Improved support workflow and new forums announcement on our blog.
Infrastructure updates
Between our April release and the following infrastructure updates have been enabled
Limited trial sites for free partners – starting with our May release, the number of trial sites a Free Partner can have will be limited to 100. Once the limit is reached, Free Partners that need to create a new trial site have the options to upgrade to a higher partner plan, upgrade some of the trial sites to paid or delete unused/expired trials.
Automatic trial expiry extension - with this release, trial site expiry date will be automatically extended with 30 days every time an admin user logs in the system through the admin interface or through FTP.
Installed additional hardware - we have installed additional web servers on all our data centers, that translate into an increase of the existing capacity with over 70%.
Updated DNS infrastructure - we have improved the DNS resolution for email delivery so that we can increase the rate at which we're sending the system operational emails
HTTP acceleration – all sites static assets are served from a new cache engine (images, CSS and JavaScript files, together with improved headers that should allow the browser to cache them better for a browsing session). This update has been turned on along with our April release, and has made all the BC sites load faster on first and on subsequent loads.
Accelerated site/partner creation – we've changed the way new sites are created for faster speed, pre-creating them and reusing pre-created sites when needed, and have also improved the creation process for new partners, minimizing the impact of new CCM customers on the existing datacenters.
Adobe ID for partners - in order to support an integrating experience between the various Adobe tools a partner may use (Dreamweaver, Muse, Support forums) we have added Adobe ID support for Business Catalyst partner accounts. Starting April 19, partners are asked to merge their current Business Catalyst account with their Adobe ID accounts. For more details about the transition process and FAQ please read the Introducing Adobe ID blog post.
Updated Terms of Use - Along with several other changes in our processes in the past few months, we also revamped our Terms of Use and the signature process by requesting every admin user to sign a TOU. We have completed the rollout for partners, and we might be pushing an updated partner Terms of Use version within the following weeks. For more details and questions about this change, read the New Terms of Use for Business Catalyst blog post.
Features and enhancements
Site templates
To support the increasing number of partners building, sharing or reusing templates to create new sites, we're extending our site templates support from our partner portal with a new template type and improved management support. The update is going to enable partners to mark sites as templates and choose between making them available in Online Business Builder and keeping them private in their partner portal. A template site will not expire and has the same limits as any other trial site.
Based on your partner level, you can create private or public templates using the Site Details screen or the Tools>My Site Template section from your Partner Portal. Standard partners can only create private templates, while Free Partners can only view site templates that have been transferred to their accounts by other partners.
The number of templates a partner will have will be limited and will vary based on partner level: free partners can store up to 5 templates in their partner portal, standard partners have up to 100 site templates while Premium Partners might have up to 200 templates. Paid sites marked as templates are not counted against these limits.
Business Catalyst Partner fixes
While we are really focused on making the Business Catalyst integration into Creative Cloud a smashing success, we are slowly resuming our efforts to deliver fixes that have been requested by our partners. This release includes the following partner fixes:
Improved product custom fields - we have increased the maximum number of characters for product custom fields to 1024 (previous limit was 256); this gives partners and customers additional space to use when working with products
Improved Secure Zone subscribers list - we have added the customer email address in the Secure Zone Subscribers list to enable partners better filter and manage customers
Better experience when exporting data - to prevent customer confusion when exporting data from Mac computers, we have removed the export to excel option and exporting in CSV format by default.
Social plugins integration updates
Starting with our May release, we are updating the social plugins support to require users to get the plugin code from the third party provider and saving into his Business Catalyst website. The module tags and configuration will remain unchanged, but will render an empty tag until the partner or site owner will update the module template to include the corresponding module code snippet from the third party platform provider.
For more information about how you can enable the Social Plugins on a Business Catalyst websites, read the Social Media: Integrating Facebook and Twitter knowledge base article.
Other changes
Updated weekly emails - Starting with our May release, the information in the site weekly emails has been filtered based on the site's plan. For example, webBasics site reports will no longer include the sales report.
Localization - we improved and increased the coverage of the admin interface translations into German, French and Japanese
Site Settings -> Ignored IP addresses has been relocated under Reports -> Visitors -> More.
BC-Dreamweaver integration performance improvements
Development Dashboard has been removed, as it didn't provide a clear useful, ongoing benefit. The information present in the development dashboard has been integrated into our new Help & Support section.
Payment gateway settings - for more privacy and data protection, we have updated the Payment Gateway configuration screens to obfuscate the sensitive login information. Fields that have been obfuscated are now requiring confirmation.
Report abuse badge on trial sites - for compliance reasons, a "Report Abuse" link has been added to the front-end of all trial sites of free partners that don't have any paid sites. When they click the Report Abuse link, site visitors are redirected to a form submission page on businesscatalyst.com site.

What's next
The first item on the what's next list might not be news for many of you, but it's definitely one of the most important milestones this year. The Creative Cloud launch is just around the corner, and Business Catalyst is playing an important role in that, as the publishing platform for Adobe® Muse and Dreamweaver. This launch will capture all our attention within the next weeks as we want it to be our best ever.
We'll start our next development cycle on May 15th, while the next Business Catalyst release is going to be pushed live in mid June. That being said, the following items are already on our launch plan for the next release and a few more will join the list. Please expect an update on our 2012 plans around mid May.
HTTP throttling – all page load and API calls to BC will be protected against attacks, this might trigger problems for API heavy sites. We are looking into enabling this update along with our June release, and will help make sure that a reasonable number of requests will be accepted from the same computer per minute.
Automatic site deletion - Starting with the June release, we are going to start automatically delete expired trial sites and canceled sites. Customers will be notified twice before we are going to proceed with deleting the sites.
Thank you,
Cristinel Anastasoaie
Adobe Business Catalyst Product Manager

In reference to this change in the Custom Reports... Better experience when exporting data - to prevent customer confusion when exporting data from Mac computers, we have removed the export to excel option and exporting in CSV format by default.
What is the customer confusion we are trying to stop here? I've got even more confused customers at the moment because all of a sudden they can't find the export to excel option but know it exists if they log in on a PC?

Flex SDK 4, bug in mx.charts.AxisRenderer with lastLabel==null?

Hi!
I'm upgrading a Flex application from SDK 3.5 to 4.1.
I have a problem with mx.charts.AreaChart, namely with it's horizontal AxisRenderer for DateTimeAxis.
During layouting one of its internal variable (lastLabel in calcRotationAndSpacing() method) can become null, causing Null pointer error.
From examining the source code it looks like the problem happens in calcRotationAndSpacing() when there is just one label (didn't examine yet why, but presumably for small regions and narrow datasets that may happen, though it may be a bug generating labels), canDropLabels==true, then at line 1814:
lastLabel = _labels[maxSkipCount + 1];
Even though maxSkipCount==0, _labels[] array has nothing at index 1, returning null.
In SDK 3 the label was calculated differently:
lastLabel = _labels[_labels.length - 1];
always returning at least the first label.
I can build a sample app, but to save time would like to know first if anybody had this before, and if isn't that an obvious bug?
Later code has no graceful handler for when lastLabel==null
Thanks, Andrei.

By googling for AxisRenderer it appears, that the class has a number of similar issues. There is at least one JIRA https://bugs.adobe.com/jira/browse/FLEXDMV-2275
Sounds like I won't have another choice but figuring out a workaround to prevent too few labels, may be by holding on renderer customization till creation is complete.

Facebook's "backdoor" bug into Mail program?

Yesterday, I was using Facebook's Photos upload feature to upload some pics for my profile's album and the feature generated an actual file directory to my computer desktop and hard drive. I uploaded some pics and all went fine. Then, the Mail program was not able to retrieve any new email and I keep getting messages that other mail client is in use, blocking my access to retrieve emails. I thought this is strange because I have no other mail client opened except Mail. This occurred right after I used Facebook's Photos Upload Feature.
So I'm thinking... could there be a backdoor/exploit bug generated from Facebook's ability to access to a computer's file directory, specifically targeting Mail and create the impression that other mail client is in use while Mail is not able to retrieve emails?
I just don't know anything more deep but I'm just concerned. Anyone have this experience?

I haven't had the specific problem you've had, but I have recently begun responding to requests to join Facebook and at the same time I've begun to have, after years of no problems, weird problems with Mail. Something going on? Good question....

Any help please.

> I need a generic manner to reference this jar to be independant from the version of compilation and run version of jdk
If you package your application using the JavaFX ant tasks or javafxpackager tool as detailed in the JavaFX deployment guide then it will be able to find the JavaFX runtime independent of the version of the jdk you are running on and you don't need to manually specify a machine specific classpath when trying to execute the jar.
If you want to use Maven to package your JavaFX application, then refer to the StackOverflow question: java - Maven project with JavaFX (with jar file in `lib`) - Stack Overflow, which states that the preferred method of packaging using Maven is likely to use the JavaFX Maven Plugin.

July 2nd Release

Cristinel Anastasoaie
July release - New admin user interface updates, additional customer reports and bug fixes
We are announcing a new Business Catalyst release, scheduled to go live on Monday, July 2nd.
With this release, we have focused on improving the new user interface and make it ready for prime time, added additional reports and continued updating the new file manager. Additionally, we started to deliver on a series of fixes and product improvements that have been requested by our partners during the last few months.
Infrastructure updates
To ensure the highest security and performance levels for our services, we're applying a software update on all our database servers. For more details about the update, read our Business Catalyst Service Maintenance, June 2012 - Updated blog post.
Features and enhancements
New admin interface is now the default interface for new users
With this release, the new admin user interface will become the default interface for new users and customers, regardless of when the website has been created. To ensure a smooth transition to the new interface, we will continue to allow customers use the interface of their choice and the system will remember their selection the next time they login to admin.
Customers and secure zones report
Secure zones are a great way of creating membership websites which were lacking some basic reporting features that would have enabled customers to view detailed information about their subscribers or send them email campaigns related to their subscription.
With this release, we are enhancing our reporting system by allowing customers to create and save reports of customers and secure zone subscriptions. This report will automate many of the manual tasks a site owner has to do today to extract actionable reports for customers subscribed to secure zones. Additionally, once such a report is created it can be used in the email marketing system to send email campaigns to these customers.
For the next release we are looking into exposing the opt-in status so that customers can view their subscribers communication preferences and act based on this information.
Redirect system domain and URLs to default domain for better SEO performance
Starting with this release, we are allowing users to redirect system domains and URLs to the default site domain or corresponding URL using 301 redirects. This will help customers achieve better SEO performance and avoid duplicate content penalties from search engines. To enable this redirect, users will have to edit the system domain and check the Redirect to default domain check box.
With the July release, we are going to enable the same functionality for secure URL as well, with the exception of payment pages and POST requests, which will remain on the secure domain.
Note: when admin user is logged in admin using the system domain, the system will not redirect front-end pages while session is still active; user must log out of admin for the redirect to work.
User interface consistency for renamed modules
The new admin user interface has been updated to consistently use new names for these modules:
Media downloads (former Literature)
News (former Announcements)
Events (former Bookings)
There are still two areas where the old naming is being used:
Module & tag names (e.g. { module_announcement }, { tag_announcementurl_value })
FTP folder names (e.g. /Layouts/Announcement)
These will take a significant engineering effort to update, as we need to support existing sites that could be already checked out to local file systems, or replicating existing sites. Together with some of the partners that are using this features intensively, we decided to leave these areas with the old naming for now, and redirect the engineering effort in two larger projects currently under way: handling partner enhancement requests and a better web apps engine.
Offline payment security improvements
The security of the current offline payment workflow has been improved in order to meet international security standards for offline payments:
A new, additional “Offline payment password” must be set, and updated every 90 days
Pass phrases are now unique to each order. You can no longer use the one pass phrase to access every secure PDF
This will help transactions be more secure and protect business owners from potential attacks. Here's a more detailed view of this feature.
Delete paid and Creative Cloud sites from the Admin Console
We moved the "Delete Site" functionality to the Admin Console of the website in order to help Creative Cloud users and beginners cancel an existing paid website that they don't need anymore. Here's a snapshot of this new feature.
Other changes
Invite Partner user: starting with the release, partners can add other partners as site admins through the Site Details screen in the Partner Portal. This functionality has been moved from the User Management interface and it is enabling partners to collaborate on developing a site without impacting the site admin limit
File Manager alpha: drag'n'drop can be used to move one file at a time between different folders

ok mate, first off please, layoff the pissed off giant block of text posting style, it makes it hard to read your post lol.
second, the flexijack only supports line in, microphone in and optical out on this card thats why the option was greyed out/ removed
its not needed with this card.
and, just to make sure, you are pluging your mic into the white jack with red light coming out right?
after that, you are selecting microphone as your audio input on the recording settings of windows volume control right?

For a smoother migration path, the new solution will be switched on a day after the release, on March 1st.

Heads-up: upcoming changes in the next release
We'd like to give you a heads-up with upcoming changes in the following release, without setting anything in stone though.
User Interface V3 will become default for new users
Starting with our next release (March 2012), all new users will have access by default to the Business Catalyst V3 user interface, but will be able to switch to the current user interface. The change will affect all user types (Partners and Customers) and all sites (existing and new).
New names and module tags for Announcements, Literature and Bookings
To improve consistency across the new Admin, the Announcements, Literature and Bookings modules, their corresponding tags and user interfaces will be renamed. Existing tags and modules will continue to work as today, but users will no longer be able to insert them through module manager going forward. For each modules, the following name changes will occur:
Announcements will become News and the following tags and modules will be replaced:
{module_announcement} will become {module_news}
{tag_announcementurl_value} will be replaced by {tag_newsurl_value}
{tag_announcementid} will be replaced by {tag_newsid}
{tag_eventfromdate} will become {tag_newsfromdate}
{tag_eventtodate} will become {tag_newstodate}
Bookings will become Events and the following tags and modules will be replaced:
{module_booking} will become {module_events}
{tag_bookingday} will become {tag_eventday}
{tag_bookingmonth} will become {tag_eventmonth}
{tag_bookingyear} will become {tag_eventyear}
Literature will become Media Downloads and the following module will be replaced: {module_literature} will become {module_mediadownloads}
Updated user management interfaces
To simplify the user and email accounts management workflows, we're going to update their corresponding user interfaces in the next releases. Going forward, we will separate the admin user accounts from email accounts management and start using an invitation workflow for user and email accounts creation.
Besides the change of workflow itself, this update completely changes the way we are thinking about the platform and represents the first step into the Business Catalyst future. The user and email accounts user interfaces rely on REST APIs and backbone.js to completely separate the UI from the application login and provide more development flexibility and increased performance. Going forward, every interface we'll touch will be built on this infrastructure and will allow us to publish APIs which partners can use to extend or tweak the platform.
Note: by separating email and admin accounts user interfaces, you will no longer be able to create users that don't have access to admin and email. Existing user accounts that don’t have email and admin access will continue to live on the system, but they will not be visible or editable in the new interfaces. We recommend you to use the current user interface to transition these accounts into either email or admin accounts.
SEO options will be enabled out-of-the-box
Site Settings -> SEO menu entry in Admin Console will be removed. The options available now are:
SEO friendly URLs for eCommerce, Announcements, Web Apps -- these will be enabled for all sites by default and cannot be turned off
Enable partial URL matching for SEO friendly URLs -- this option will be deprecated. Existing sites will keep the current setting but able to switch it off using a special interface
Enable sitemap.xml for search engines -- this will remain as is for existing sites, and always enabled for new sites
Note that trial sites will not be indexed by search engines. Should you want to disable search engine indexing after upgrade, please use a custom robots.txt file or upload an empty sitemap.xml.
If you'd like to use a custom sitemap.xml file, simply upload it to your site. If this file exists, it will be served instead of the BC-generated sitemap.xml.
Related to SEO, Enhanced 301 Redirects is being delayed for a few months.
Dropping support for Internet Explorer 7 and Firefox 4 or below
Starting March 20th, we will discontinue support for Internet Explorer 7 or lower and Firefox 4 or below. In order to continue using Business Catalyst Admin user interface without problems, you and your clients need to upgrade to a more recent browser:
Download Internet Explorer
Download Safari
Download Chrome
Download Firefox

Runtime error 104

My former manager created a helpfile using Adobe Robohelp for
HTML 7. The helpfile is now off being tested on XP and Vista, and
on a handful of pages (out of hundreds), runtime error message 104
is displayed.
Line: 104
Error: Expected ')'
Yes/No.
If you click No then the help page is displayed successfully,
however I'd like to get rid of this bug. Looking in Robohelp, I get
the same error, so am assuming it is a bug generated by Robohelp...
I'm a bit new to all this, so apologies if I'm appearing stupid -
any ideas how I go about resolving it?
Many thanks, Mike

Thanks guys!
I've had a look at the pages and didn't see anything that
separated these pages from any others - but it would be fair to say
I don't really know what I am looking for.
It definitely isnt due to double clicking, so I think we can
eliminate that.
I'm going to try and regenerate the primary layout on my
machine to see if the problem was caused by something on my former
manager's machine. If it doesn't, I found a utility on the web
called regcure which I can download and it claims to fix runtime
errors. I'd need the IT guys to run it in Administrator mode tho.
Worth a try? Any other suggestions?
Mike

Accessing properties of multiple graphs

Hello, I have a VI with over 100 different graphs. And many times, I want to access a property node for each one, and make the same changes. How would I set up a "For" loop that will cycle through each graph? I see that one is named xy graph 1, xy graph 2, etc. So this seems like I could plug that number in from the loop counter, but I don't see how to do it.
Thanks,
Pat

Hey, thanks, I'll look into the sub VI approach. That's something I've not done before.
Do you know how to generate an array of references to all the front panel objects?
It's not exactly clear who you're responding to, but the VI I posted will (in theory anyway. It was written quickly and may have bugs) generate an array of references to all the controls on the FP (not including tabs and clusters). If you want to use it as a subVI (which is a very good idea), you need to use a Panel refnum control instead of the property node (just right click and create a control), set the connector pane and an icon and you're done.
To learn more about LabVIEW, I suggest you try searching this site and google for LabVIEW tutorials. Here and here are a couple you can start with. You can also contact your local NI office and join one of their courses.
In addition, I suggest you read the LabVIEW style guide and the LabVIEW user manual (Help>>Search the LabVIEW Bookshelf).
Try to take over the world!

BUG in Oracle SQL Developer 3.0.04 on the "generating DLL" with comments?

I'm newbie on oracle, but I think that I found out a bug in Oracle SQL Developer version 3.0.04 on the "generating DLL" tool using "comments".
I will describe the steps that I gave:
I created a view, but after I test it I had to change my “where” condition, so I comment the old code and then I wrote the new “where” condition below. After I done that I tried to look at the sql code of my view using “generating DLL” tool, but oracle sql developer only shown me half of the code, a lot of code were missing. Then I began with some test trying to understand what happen and I notice that if I put an invalid sql code in my comment the generating DLL start working with no problems, for example(pseudo-code):
(COMMENT WITH VALID SQL CODE the "Generating SQL" don't work:)
CREATE OR REPLACE VIEW <user>.<view_name> ( <column1>,<column2> )
AS
SELECT column1, column2
FROM table1
INNER JOIN
(SELECT
FROM table2
INNER JOIN .....
INNER JOIN ....
--where time_stamp = (select max(time_stamp) from .....)
WHERE time_stamp >= TRUNC(sysdate)
) t1 ON t1.ID = ....
AND ..... >= TRUNC(sysdate)
ORDER BY ....
Generating DLL returns this(when the error occurs):
CREATE OR REPLACE VIEW <user>.<view_name> ( <column1>,<column2> )
AS
(COMMENT WITH VALID SQL CODE the "Generating SQL" work with no problems:)
CREATE OR REPLACE VIEW <user>.<view_name> ( <column1>,<column2> )
AS
SELECT column1, column2
FROM table1
INNER JOIN
(SELECT
FROM table2
INNER JOIN .....
INNER JOIN ....
--where
WHERE time_stamp >= TRUNC(sysdate)
) t1 ON t1.ID = ....
AND ..... >= TRUNC(sysdate)
ORDER BY ....
I believe that "Generating DLL" tool have some problem with the comments, I also used /*...*/ to comment but the problem is still active.
I notice as well that if I started to add some more comments along the code, the conditions migth change, so I think the problem is related with "comments" code.
Would you mind telling me if this is a real bug or if I'm doing anything wrong.
Thank you in advance,
Rodrigo Campos

Hi Rodrigo,
Thank you for reporting this. The only bug I see currently logged on a comment affecting the generated View DDL involves ending the last line of the definition with a comment, which treats the ending semi-colon (even if on a different line) as part of the comment. That is actually related to a low-priority bug against an Oracle database API.
Unfortunately, your pseudo-code is a bit complex. Trying a few quick, simpler tests against the standard HR schema did not reproduce the issue. I tried INNER JOIN, and nested SELECTs. It would help greatly if you could provide a test case compilable against one of the standard schema, like HR or SCOTT.

Gary

SQl Developer 3.0.04 Revoke doesn't generate any DDL. Bug?

Hi everyone,
trying Revoke while rightclicking on , e.g. a stored function doesn't generate any DDL. Specifically, opening "Perform Revoke Action", selecting the Properties tab and applying the desired action doesn't do anything. Interestingly enoguh, selecting the "SQL" tab shows no generated DDL no matter what properties were set. It looks to me as another bug. Any thoughts.
Cheers,
Bob

Hi Bob,
The SQL tab will remain empty until the privileges to be revoked have been selected. In the properties tab of the revoke dialog, the drop down list for "Users" contains a list of those users for which privileges on the object have been granted. (If this list is empty then you will need to do some grants first!) Select a user. You should now see some privilege names in the right hand side of the shuttle. Shuttle one or more of these to the left pane. You should now see generated SQL in the SQL tab.
Please let me know if this doesn't resolve the problem for you.
Best regards,
Philip Richens
