Can Only Compile a Package in Object Browser ORA-06502

I am running Apex 3.0.1 against a 10.2 Database..
I have at least 2 packages, that I can only change in APEX using the Object Browser, If I try using SQL Developer/TOAD or any other tools it returns the error message below. The package bodies are around 400 Lines and 1500 Lines. This even happens if I try to compile with no changes .. But I can make all my changes in Object Browser I want without the error messages..
Any ideas of where to start...
Error at line 1
ORA-00604: error occurred at recursive SQL level 1
ORA-06502: PL/SQL: numeric or value error: character string buffer too small
ORA-06512: at line 14
Kathy

Open your package in TOAD and have a look at the line 14. There is probably a variable
which is too small to take a value specified.

Can i compile new procedures/packages on my snapshot standby?

Hi
can i compile new procedures/packages on my snapshot standby?
I need to test the new release of the application, which include some changes to current packages
thanks

yes you can do it, just that it will be flashbed back to the restore point when it was standby first, do anything on it, but be aware that later you convert from snapshot standby to physical standby, more time it would take for redo to be applied and also it is mandatory to open the snapshot at least once in read-write mode before it can be converted into a physical standby database.

Can not compile package

Hi,
I have package and it is invalid. When I try to compile it starts to compile but not stop. I think it is locked or something else. I renamed it and compiled and it worked. Functions in package runned also.
But I want the orginal package to run.
Does anyone has idea about this problem?
Thanks in advance.

If you have killed all the session using this package, it may take sometime to rollback the transactions. Mean while also make changes in the package, so that it commits its transaction at the end of logical transaction end otherwise you will face this issue again. After sometime you can compile the package.
Other option may be to restart the database in restricted mode. Make your changes, compile the package and then put the database in normal mode.

Error While compiling a Package

Hi,
When am compiling a package am getting a error like
ERROR at line 1:
ORA-00604: error occurred at recursive SQL level 1
ORA-01631: max # extents (505) reached in table SYS.IDL_UB2$
Can you pls any one help in this reg...
Thanks,
Adhi...

if you look into sql.bsq in your oracle_home/rdbms
directory, table IDL_UB2$ has storage parameter
extents defined as maxextents.
check out the parameter of your IDL_UB2$ table.
By the way what is your oracle version?
For a long time, modifying the sql.bsq file was
frowned upon, but there is a section in the Tuning
guide about modifying this file now.
Reference chapter 15.
Jaffar
Message was edited by:
The Human FlyBut why do you need to modify the sql.bsq file when this problem can be analyzed by checking the availability of free space in SYSTEM tablespace.
And what benefit will you get by modifying this file after the database has been already created?
This file is the seed of the database and I think careful consideration must be taken before even thinking of touching this file. Also you must be fully aware of the aftermath.

Can't compile.

Hi,
I was a VB developer and started to develop using java recently.
I had to do some modification in a existing java project uses tomcat as the web server. I'm using Jbuilder 9 toas my editor. what I'm doing is open files using jbuilder and do the modification. I did couple of changes in my jsp files and those changes are working fine. Recently I had to do a modification in one of .java file. So I opened the file using Jbuilder and did the modification. then when I tried to compile the file It gave a lot of errors. when i run the site without the change i did to .java file it's working perfectly.
most of the error like.
<file name>.package <path> doesnot exist at line <line number>, column<column number>
but those files exist in relavant folders reffered and i think when i'm compiling the .java file it can't refer those files.
How can I compile my .java file and make the .class file.
Thanks in advance.

Help compiling a package

Hello Java peeps, I have been having troubles compiling a package in Java...
My school assessment project was pretty big so I decided to cut into multiple java classes, but instead of having unclean code, I decided to add them all to one package, so i dont have to reference methods with their full names.. except now It doesnt wanna compile correctly...
Lets say I had the following:
ClassA:
package MyPackage;
public class ClassA {
SayHello() {}
ClassB:
package MyPackage;
public class ClassB {
RequestHello() {
SayHello();
The compiler will give me errors that it cant SayHello(). Why is this so?
I tried playing around with my ClassPath, the above classes are in this directory:
C:\Programming\Java\School\*.java
And its compiling as a package, ClassA goes into:
C:\Programming\Java\School\MyPackage\ClassA.class
I have set my classpath to both:
C:\Programming\Java\School\
C:\Programming\Java\School\MyPackage\
Can anyone please help me? Thanks a lot :)

Not only do your methods not have return types, but your call to SayHello() from ClassB is also incorrect. Even if the methods were defined correctly, the compiler would still not find SayHello() because it is looking for it in ClassB.
Putting them in the same package does not give you direct access. You still need to reference ClassA to get access to SayHello(). You just don't need to give it the full package name when referencing ClassA.
e.g.,
ClassA a = new ClassA();
a.SayHello();

I can't compile this, why?

I do not possess any means of compiling any .java file that imports javax.* or anything J2SE-related, thus, I have to compile it remotely on a remote host (www.myjavaserver.com), however, for some reason this file will not compile but will not produce any errors, warnings, or any display of any kind - but no .class file is ever found.

Sorry I can't do that, as much as I want to. My
computer is very ancient and has too little memory to
run any kind of server program, especially a
Java-related one. I tried with Eclipse a while back
(2 years ago and never figured it out, way too hard
in spite of my PC's inability to interact with it)
nearly destroyed my machine with it.You actually don't need to run any server. You just need to get the .JAR files (you should try to get the same server and version that you deploy on ... but that may not be possible). Then you put them in your Java Classpath, and you will be able to compile (from command line, or whatever). You could then un-install the server if you wanted to...
>
That means I can only compile J2SE formatted classes
remotelyThat would be J2EE. J2SE is the standard edition, where you get the compiler, java.lang.String, java.util.Date, and all the rest of the core stuff. J2EE is the enterprise edition for getting the javax.servlet packages (among others).
More comments on how you might change added as comments in the code...
on www.myjavaserver.com - provided it is
working.
I made the changes necessary and still can't compile
it!

I can' t compile Stratus example from Adobe sample...

Hey guys !
First, please sorry for my bad english, I'm french and it's a pain to explain this kind of problem in foreign language...
I 'm trying to compile the example code found in Stratus sample (the audio/video chat), but I think some package are missed because Flex found a lot of error. Flex tell me that I'm trying to use some class or properties that doesn't exist...
Here the list of the missing elements :
- NetStreamInfo
- Microphone.codec
- NetStream.DIRECT_CONNECTIONS
- Microphone.encodeQuality
- NetStream.farId
- Microphone.framesPerPacket
- NetStream.info
- NetConnection.nearId
- NetStream.peerStream
- SoundCodec
I 'm using Flex Builder 3.02 (downloaded from the link at the bottom of the stratus' presentation page).I have my Stratus Key, but the problem is not here because I'm unable to launch the compilation...
Where can I find the class / package I need ?
In other terms, how can I compile the stratus example with no error.
Thanks a lot !

you probably forgot to set the minimum Flash Player version to 10.0.0 in the Flex build settings. open the Properties for your Flex project, go to the "Flex Compiler" property, and in the "HTML wrapper" section's "Require Flash Player version" enter 10.0.0 in the boxes. that will enable the compiler to recognize Flash Player 10 APIs.

I can't compile applets

Hi. I am very new to JAVA. (I just downloaded the compiler last night.)
I really need help. It seems anything that is suposed to be an applet, I can't compile. I can't even compile the example applet for the "Hello World!" program in the "First Cup of Java" section!!!
I've followed the instructions as I'm told, and keep getting this:
Exception in thread "main" java.lang.NoClassDefFoundError: com/sun/tools/javac/Main
I can however compile applications. WHAT IS GOING ON!
Please help me.
~Bewildered

Hi - I just learning Java and think I can help (at least i'll try).
Save all you work on your desktop:
Start Notepad
type the following:
Programmer: Type Your Name
Date: Type whatever date it is
Program: Simply Type the item in between brackets, without brackets: (Test1)
import java.applet.*;
import java.awt.*;
public class Test1Applet extends Applet
public void paint(Graphics g)
g.drawString("I hope I get an applet on my screen!",15, 30);
...And Save As: Test1Applet.java - MAKE SURE YOUR ON YOUR DESKTOP
Then go to File, New (Still using the Notepad application).
Type:
<Applet Code = "Test1Applet.java" Width = 400 Height = 200>
</Applet>
Then Save As: Test1Applet.html - MAKE SURE YOUR ON YOUR DESKTOP
Finally go to the console mode... otherwise known as the Command Prompt. You can go to Start Button on the statusbar click on "Run", type cmd and hit enter.
Once there you need to type: path = OK...At this time you must locate the complete path/drive where you downloaded the Java packages. Once you locate the entire drive (exam: c:\jbuilder3\java\bin) you must type in: path = drive you put the jbuilder,etc, etc in and hit enter.
You shouldn't see anything, but just another line waiting for you to enter something. That something you must type is: javac
Javac tell the os to call on Java language. You know get ready to compile. You'll then see a whole bunch of stuff, don't worry it simply computer veribage.
If no errors have occurred you then type:cd and drag and drop one of the files you saved to the desktop. Before you hit the enter key make sure to remove the file name and then hit enter.
Then you must type: javac Test1Applet.java and hit enter
Finally you must type: appletviewer Test1Applet.html and hit enter.
You should get an applet on your computer. Let me know how it turns out or whether I confused you even more.

Can't compile APPS.PN_SPACE_ASSIGN_EMP_PKG !!!

Dears,
I have Oracle Applications 11.5.10.2 on Linux RED HAT 4.
I face the error below when i try to compile the following packages:
symptom: Can't compile APPS.PN_SPACE_ASSIGN_EMP_PKG and
APPS.PN_SPACE_ASSIGN_CUST_PKG
symptom: PLS-00390: undefined column 'UOM_CODE' in INSERT statement
symptom: PLS-00302: component 'UOM_CODE' must be declared
symptom: PLS-00417: unable to resolve "UOM_CODE" as a column
I issued "adodfcmp" command below :
$ adodfcmp odffile=$AR_TOP/patch/115/odf/artrx.odf userid=pn/pn changedb=yes \
priv_schema=system/manager mode=views touser=apps/apps \
logfile=$APPLTMP/mylogfile.log
But the problem is still there!
Have you ever come across such a problem?
Please advise ..
Firas

If Oracle Property Manager is not installed then you can ignore it as mentioned in the above note.
But since you tried to compile it using userid=pn/pn, then I assume you use this module.
Do you get 'APP-PN-49676' error at the application level? If so, I suggest you consider applying Patch 5219553 on PN.J
If you already have this patch applied, I suggest you raise a SR with Oracle support.

Can't compile this sourcecode

why i can't compile this source code??
if i not mistaken the error like this "can't read bla..bla(i din't remember)"
(i've install all the java package..)
import java.io.*;
import javax.servlet.*;
import javax.servlet.http.*;
import java.util.Date;
import java.util.Hashtable;
* Date Servlet
* This is a simple servlet to demonstrate server-side include
* It returns a string representation of the current time.
* @author Scott Atwood
* @version 1.12, 08/29/97
public class DateServlet extends HttpServlet {
public void service(HttpServletRequest req, HttpServletResponse res)
throws ServletException, IOException
Date today = new Date();
res.setContentType("text/plain");
//getOutputStream ni aper?
ServletOutputStream out = res.getOutputStream();
out.println(today.toString());
public String getServletInfo() {
return "Returns a string representation of the current time";

Try it again. And this time write down the error message you get so you can ask a coherent question.

Can't compile javax.xml.soap

I can't compile the following code:
import javax.xml.soap.SOAPConnectionFactory;
import javax.xml.soap.SOAPConnection;
public class SOAPTip {
public static void main(String args[]) {
try {
//First create the connection
SOAPConnectionFactory soapConnFactory =
SOAPConnectionFactory.newInstance();
SOAPConnection connection =
soapConnFactory.createConnection();
//Close the connection
connection.close();
} catch(Exception e) {
System.out.println(e.getMessage());
It says that "package javax.xml.soap can't be found", I don't know why, because I have installed my JSDK and its respective path in the enviroment variables and the JWSDK too with its path in the environment variable, so, what else do I have to do so the compiler can recognize that library????

I find that if I have install J2ee in C:\Java\j2ee, then I can compile your modules with this line:
javac -classpath C:\Java\j2ee\lib\j2ee.jar SOAPTip.java
