Create objet from script stored in column

Hi
I starting to use the package DBMS_Metadata for return metadata and I have some questions
Firts
I have a table TBMETADATA (subject varchar2, result clob)
object = 'table', 'procedure', etc.
result = keep output dbms_metadata.get_dll
Now if I drop a table x from my database. How can I to run the script for this table x, stored in TBMETADATA.
Any idea

You could try using EXECUTE IMMEDIATE:
EXECUTE IMMEDIATE result;:p

Creating universe from MySql stored procedure?

Hi,
I am new to BusinessObjects. I need to create universes based on the schema in our MySql database. However, when I tried to create one from a stored procedure, I fount that I wasn't allowed to do that or the option to insert a stored procedure was grayed out.
Is it true that universe creation from MySql stored procedures not supported, or is it just something I didn't do right? Is there any workaround?
Thanks in advance!

jason Lee,
You cannot combine universes with table structures with that of the stored procedures.Thats the reason in the existing universe the option is greyed out to insert stored procedures. You need to create a new universe thru design wizard and check the option to "create a universe through the stored procedure" in the first page.
Let me know your results
Thanks,
Karthik

CREATE SEQUENCE from a stored procedure

Hello,
Is it possible, to create a sequence object from an own written stored procedure? Can I reinitialize the actual value of a sequence object without recreating it from a stored procedure?
Thank you for recommendations,

How can I create files from Documents stored in a longraw via OLE

Hello,
we use forms 6 in client-server-mode and store documents (pdf, tif, doc ... all is possible) in a longraw using an OLE-container.
Actually I develop a new application which has to exchange document-files with other servers.
Is there a simple way to generate files from this long raw?
What does this OLE do to my file before storing it in the long field.
Is this OLE still a good format?
The migration to webforms could be a good opportunity to change something ...
Maybe we better store the files in the file-system and show them with the show_document procedure.
Wolfram

Set your export type to Hard Disk and export to a folder on your hard-drive, and optionally re-import those exported JPGs using a checkbox on the Export panel.
When I do exports like this I typically put them in a subfolder of the raw files rather than physically mixed into the raw files, themselves. If I want to see the raws and jpgs mixed together I can just enable Show Photos in Subfolders.

Cannot create mysites from powershell: Original XSLT List View Web Part not found

I have a bizarre problem in my SharePoint 2013 farm. This does not occur in my test farm, only in the farm we were going to go live with.
I'm on windows Server 2012, SQLServer 2012 SP1, SharePoint 2013 April CU. 1 appserver/centraladmin server, 2 web servers.
When I log into our mysitehost and click newsfeed, it will create a mysite (even though first it displays "we are sorry there was a problem creating your site")
But from powershell, whether I use $UserProfile.CreatePersonalSite() or New-SPSite, I get the following error:
Original XSLT List View Web Part not found
So far I've only found one other person with this:
http://social.msdn.microsoft.com/Forums/sharepoint/en-US/2503e42c-e114-4e89-8e00-89fe70f0b154/cannot-create-sharepoint-mysite-programmatically
This is a brand new farm, created with the same scripts I created my test farm with, and same version of SharePoint. Only the service accounts are different. (Farm account has admin on the servers right now since I was setting up profile service).
Some other errors from the same correlation ID that look related:
It can't seem to find the listemplate 101
And something looks wrong with the MySiteDocumentLibrary feature
I have tried the following:
1. run psconfig.exe on each server
2. install-spfeature -AllExistingFeatures
3. looped through the directory under Features and for each called Install-SPFeature $dirname -Force
4. uninstalled and reinstalled MySiteDocumentLibrary feature
5. blew away the whole farm (removed all servers from farm, deleted all databases) and recreated it.
6. tried creating the UPA from the CentralAdmin gui.
The only real difference I can think of between the working farm and non working farm is, I installed the working farm using RTM, then as they came out added the March PU and April CU. For this farm I installed RTM and March and April, and then ran my build
farm script.
I am at a loss. What do I need to do, re-install the binaries? That's all I can think of. What I love is that our test / POC system worked fine, and now 2 weeks before go-live I'm seeing errors on the production servers I've never seen before. Using the
same scripts no less.

I've had other problems in this farm: the bug where when you add Administrators to a Search Service via the Manage Service Applications page, it removes the SPSearchDBAdmin role from the search service process account. That one did not happen in the other farm.
At least other people have that one and I could just use the farm admin instead (still troublng of course).

Ok,
Here is the problem:
When creating a mysite from powershell or script, apparently you can ONLY do this from a wfe (or a server running Microsoft SharePoint Foundation Web Application in services on server).
You CANNOT create mysites from script on your appserver if it is not also a Web Application Server. I confirmed the same is true in my test farm. I guess I was always running most of these scripts on the webserver.
I searched all over and cannot find this documented anywhere.
Who do I contact to have Microsoft document this?
It's Thursday morning, I've been working non stop since Saturday morning so you don't have to :)

Create application from spreadsheet failing - APEX 3.0

Create Application from Spreadsheet failing (wrong column order) on the upload
example csv columns are nameA, nameB, nameC
Upload as csv
The column order of the csv file changes....(its random).
example csv is nameC, nameB, nameA -.but sometimes it works after numerous tries uploading it (column order is correct - same as csv file)
I have another apex/db (10.1.0.4.2) installation(same version 3.0) where it works all the time(same csv file)
The database for the failing Apex installation is (10.2.0.1.0)
ANY IDEA???...could be a a database caching issue or a wrong db parameter?

What table gets populated when you upload a csv file via create application from spreadsheet (is it only APEX_APPLICATION_FILES)? Because if i import the csv file in the repository it looks file when i download it. I not sure what controls the order of the csv file column order upon the upload create application from spreadsheet process. This is a very perplexing problem since it works on another apex 3.0/10.1 database environment.
thanks

Unable to create object from stored procedure

Hi,
we are trying to use a stored procedure to do data preparation.
When we add the stored procedure to a universe, the procedure is executed succesfully and a table with one column, called "1" is created. When we try to create an object from this column, Designer does not allow us to do so.
We already tried to alias the column name in the stored procedure but we still get an unusable column called "1" back.
BO version used is XI R3.0. The stored procedure is written in Cobol on DB2 mainframe.
Does somebody know what we do wrong ?

Problem solved.
First we aliased the result columns in the stored procedure, that got rid of the "1".
Then we still could not create an object based on the column in the result set.
Apparently this issue occurs when the length of the column of the result set is too long.
We decreased the length and now we can create the object

Privilege for creating a View from a Stored Procedure

Hi,
                     I need to create a view from a procedure. I could do it from an anonymous block whereas I am unable to do that from a Stored Procedure. Should I need a specific privilege for performing this operation? If so what would be the reason behind it? Will that privilege be given in production databases?
Code to replicate:
CREATE TABLE t11 AS SELECT * FROM DUAL;

           When Trusted Oracle is configure in DBMS MAC, this error may occur

           For Trusted Oracle users getting this error although granted the

Thank you for your answer. So should I issue the below statement? (Since I dont have dba privs i couldn't test this)
GRANT CREATE VIEW to P_ETL_TEST_VIEW;
I doubt that above will prevent the error from being thrown.
prior to running anonymous block again; just do as below
SET ROLE NONE;
doing so should result in same error being thrown when invoking
BEGIN
   p_etl_test_view;

Get variable values from a stored procedure

I am using SQL 2008R2 and I want to replace a view inside a stored procedure with a new stored procedure to return multiple variable values. Currently I am using the code below to get values for 4 different variables. I would rather get the 4 variables
from a stored procedure (which returns all of these 4 values and more) but not sure how to do so. Below is the code for getting the 4 variable values in my current sp.
DECLARE @TotalCarb real;
DECLARE @TotalPro real;
DECLARE @TotalFat real;
DECLARE @TotalLiquid real;
SELECT @TotalCarb = ISNULL(TotCarb,0),
@TotalPro = ISNULL(TotPro,0),
@TotalFat = ISNULL(TotFat,0),
@TotalLiquid = ISNULL(TotLiq,0)
FROM dbo.vw_ActualFoodTotals
WHERE (MealID = @MealID);

You can replace the view with inline table valued user-defined function:

Calling stored procedure from a stored procedure

I have a stored procedure that accepts a customer prefix like "abc" and returns a customer document number like "abc-0021". (Thanks V Garcia)
This sp works when I call it from SQL Plus Worksheet.
But I need to call it from another stored procedure and store it in a local variable so that I can insert it into a table with the rest of the information.
This is what I have tried so far:
CREATE OR REPLACE PROCEDURE "SCHEMANAME"."SP_XXTESTXX" ( seq_name in
    varchar2)
AS
      id_out varchar(10);
BEGIN
   execute SP_GET_NEXT_DOC_NUMBER(seq_name,:id_out);
   print id_out;
END;but this will not compile. I get this error:
Line # = 8 Column # = 12 Error Text = PLS-00103: Encountered the symbol "SP_GET_NEXT_DOC_NUMBER" when expecting one of the following:     := . ( @ % ; immediate The symbol ":=" was substituted for "SP_GET_NEXT_DOC_NUMBER" to continue.
Line # = 8 Column # = 41 Error Text = PLS-00049: bad bind variable 'ID_OUT'
Line # = 10 Column # = 10 Error Text = PLS-00103: Encountered the symbol "ID_OUT" when expecting one of the following:     := . ( @ % ; The symbol ":=" was substituted for "ID_OUT" to continue.

I think I got it.
CREATE OR REPLACE PROCEDURE "SCHEMANAME"."SP_XXTESTXX" ( seq_name in
    varchar2)
AS
id_out varchar(10);
BEGIN
SP_GET_NEXT_DOC_NUMBER(seq_name,id_out);
dbms_output.put_line(id_out);
END;This works like I wanted it to do.

Call a Vbscript from a stored procedure

Hi,
I wonder is it possible to call a Vbscript from a stored procedure, any good reference for this.
thanks

Well here is quick and dirty example I just created.
Step 1. Create a test_batch.bat file that creates a folder "c:\test_dir" and copy "c:emp.lst" into it.
C:\oracle102\examples\test_batch.bat
md c:\test_dir
copy c:\emp.lst c:\test_dir
Step2. From SQLPLUS, spool scott.emp into c:\emp.lst and call the batch from the dbms_scheduler that kicks off right away,
set echo off
set feedback off
spool c:\emp.lst;
select * from scott.emp;
spool off;
begin
     dbms_scheduler.create_job(job_name => 'run_batch',
     job_type => 'EXECUTABLE',
     job_action => 'C:\oracle102\examples\test_batch.bat',
     start_date => sysdate,
     enabled => true,
     comments => 'Run VB Script');
end;
Check if the directory is created and if the file is copied over. Task is to kick off the executable and test is the VBscript within the batch. Challenge is how long the script runs before the next statement in the PL/SQL runs. May be you have to introduce sleep in between.
Note: You must have at least "CREATE JOB" privilege.
Happy coding!

How do I return two values from a stored procedure into an "Execute SQL Task" within SQL Server 2008 R2

Hi,
How do I return two values from a
stored procedure into an "Execute SQL Task" please? Each of these two values need to be populated into an SSIS variable for later processing, e.g. StartDate and EndDate.
Thinking about stored procedure output parameters for example. Is there anything special I need to bear in mind to ensure that the SSIS variables are populated with the updated stored procedure output parameter values?
Something like ?
CREATE PROCEDURE [etl].[ConvertPeriodToStartAndEndDate]
@intPeriod INT,
@strPeriod_Length NVARCHAR(1),
@dtStart NVARCHAR(8) OUTPUT,
@dtEnd NVARCHAR(8) OUTPUT
AS
then within the SSIS component; -
Kind Regards,
Kieran.

Below execute statement should work along the parameter mapping which you have provided. Also try specifying the parameter size property as default.
Exec [etl].[ConvertPeriodToStartAndEndDate] ?,?,? output, ? output
Add a script task to check ssis variables values using,
Msgbox(Dts.Variables("User::strExtractStartDate").Value)
Do not forget to add the property "readOnlyVariables" as strExtractStartDate variable to check for only one variable.

Executing batch file from Java stored procedure hang

Dears,
I'm using the following code to execute batch file from Java Stored procedure, which is working fine from Java IDE JDeveloper 10.1.3.4.
public static String runFile(String drive)
String result = "";
String content = "echo off\n" + "vol " + drive + ": | find /i \"Serial Number is\"";
try {
File directory = new File(drive + ":");
File file = File.createTempFile("bb1", ".bat", directory);
file.deleteOnExit();
FileWriter fw = new java.io.FileWriter(file);
fw.write(content);
fw.close();
// The next line is the command causing the problem
Process p = Runtime.getRuntime().exec("cmd.exe /c " + file.getPath());
BufferedReader input = new BufferedReader(new InputStreamReader(p.getInputStream()));
String line;
while ((line = input.readLine()) != null)
result += line;
input.close();
file.delete();
result = result.substring( result.lastIndexOf( ' ' )).trim();
} catch (Exception e) {
e.printStackTrace();
result = e.getClass().getName() + " : " + e.getMessage();
return result;
The above code is used in getting the volume of a drive on windows, something like "80EC-C230"
I gave the SYSTEM schema the required privilege to execute the code.
EXEC DBMS_JAVA.grant_permission('SYSTEM', 'java.io.FilePermission', '<<ALL FILES>>', 'read ,write, execute, delete');
EXEC DBMS_JAVA.grant_permission('SYSTEM', 'SYS:java.lang.RuntimePermission', 'writeFileDescriptor', '');
EXEC DBMS_JAVA.grant_permission('SYSTEM', 'SYS:java.lang.RuntimePermission', 'readFileDescriptor', '');
GRANT JAVAUSERPRIV TO SYSTEM;
I have used the following to load the class in Oracle 9ir2 DB:
loadjava -u [system/******@orcl|mailto:system/******@orcl] -v -resolve C:\Server\src\net\dev\Util.java
CREATE FUNCTION A1(drive IN VARCHAR2) RETURN VARCHAR2 AS LANGUAGE JAVA NAME 'net.dev.Util.a1(java.lang.String) return java.lang.String';
variable serial1 varchar2(1000);
call A1( 'C' ) into :serial1;
The problem that it hangs when I execute the call to the function (I have indicated the line causing the problem in a comment in the code).
I have seen similar problems on other forums, but no solution posted
[http://oracle.ittoolbox.com/groups/technical-functional/oracle-jdeveloper-l/run-an-exe-file-using-oracle-database-trigger-1567662]
I have posted this in JDeveloper forum ([t-853821]) but suggested to post for forum in DB.
Can anyne help?

Dear Peter,
You are totally right, I got this as mistake copy paste. I'm just having a Java utility for running external files outside Oracle DB, this is the method runFile()
I'm passing it the content of script and names of file to be created on the fly and executed then deleted, sorry for the mistake in creating caller function.
The main point, how I claim that the line in code where creating external process is the problem. I have tried the code with commenting this line and it was working ok, I made this to make sure of the permission required that I need to give to the schema passing security permission problems.
The function script is running perfect if I'm executing vbs script outside Oracle using something like "cscript //NoLogo aaa1.vbs", but when I use the command line the call just never returns to me "cmd.exe /c bb1.bat".
where content of bb1.bat as follows:
echo off
vol C: | find /i "Serial Number is"
The above batch file just get the serial number of hard drive assigned when windows formatted HD.
Same code runs outside Oracle just fine, but inside Oracle doesn't return if I exectued the following:
variable serial1 varchar2(1000);
call A1( 'C' ) into :serial1;
Never returns
Thanks for tracing teh issue to that details ;) hope you coul help.
