Createrow() with some null values for attributes errors out

I am trying to insert rows from one table to another table.
I get all the values from source table to be inserted into the destination table and set the row attributes as required.
              Row newrow = (Row)MAToolingVO.createRow();
              MAToolingVO.insertRow(newrow);
              newrow.setAttribute("InventoryItemId", new Number(InvItemId));
              newrow.setAttribute("OrganizationId", new Number(102));
              newrow.setAttribute("Machine", new Number(Machine));
              newrow.setAttribute("SetNumber", new Number(SetNumber));
              newrow.setAttribute("ToolSequence", tseqNum);
              newrow.setAttribute("FamilyCode", Family);
              newrow.setAttribute("ClassCode", Class1);
              newrow.setAttribute("ToolingItem", ToolingItem);
              newrow.setAttribute("ToolingItemId", ToolingItemId);
              newrow.setAttribute("Description", ToolingDesc);
///added these rows because it was throwing NPE , --these are user inputs, they should be null at the time of row creation and user can save them null too.
              newrow.setAttribute("InsertDesc", "-");
              newrow.setAttribute("Grade", "-");
              newrow.setAttribute("ExtraLength", new Number(0));
              newrow.setAttribute("ToolLength", new Number(0));
//after adding these rows, NPE is gone, but it still doesnt commit to the database. WHY ?
              newrow.setNewRowState(Row.STATUS_INITIALIZED);
               poRow.setAttribute("CheckBox", Boolean.TRUE);
If user enters values in all the fields : InsertDesc, grade, ExtraLength, ToolLength , then row gets commited to db, else not.
Also none of the fields are mandatory and can be null.
please suggest.
thanks

any one on this please ?
when i create new row, columns for primary keys and other values get set correctly, but if user doesnt input some value in text fields of newly created row, they dont get saved to the db.
I even tried defaulting some values to the optional attributes, but still doesnt work.

Update error: POL - 4008 null buffer for attribute is not allowed

I am attempting to update a column in my Oracle Lite database through JDBC.
The statement is:
ds = getDataSource();
conn = getConnection(ds);
stmt = getStatement(conn);
int results = stmt.executeUpdate("UPDATE SYSTEM.PM_PASSENGERS SET CURRENT_STATUS_EVENT_ID = 267 WHERE PASSENGER_ID = 1");
System.out.println(results+" rows affected.");
conn.commit();
which results in the message:
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
1 rows affected.
[POL-4008] null buffer for attribute is not allowed
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
I am not sure what that means exactly. Does that mean there is some problem with the commit?
Thanks,
Allen

Is it necessary to update the entire record in Oracle Lite, or should it be possible to update select columns only when performing an update query?
Thanks,
Allen

Pro*C & SQLDA with NULL value for predicate column

Hi: I am using a C program to update a table via a dynamic sql (method 4) and SQLDA. In the update statement predicate, I have place holders (as in TBLCOL=:C000). One of the columns in the predicate contains null values, so I set L[n] = 0, V[n] = pData (which pData[0] = '\0'), *(I[n]) = -1, and T[n] = 5 (for text). I cannot find the row that I know is there.
I cannot change my statement to contain TBLCOL IS NULL, since I don't know ahead of time if I'm looking for rows with null values for this column. The Pro*C manual says that by setting the appropriate *(I[n]) = -1, it indicates to Oracle to simulate the "IS NULL" clause, and update the appropriate rows. In my case, I receive 1403 as SQLCODE when I use TBLCOL=:C000 vs TBLCOL IS NULL. What am I doing wrong? Thank you for your help.

You should include these columns as well;
ChangeType (see mxi_changetype)
ValOwner (repository)
UserID ("jobid=<>", usermskey, GUI (mmc), DG (dyngrp), reconcile)
IdAudit (This is the event task (add and del member for assignments)
ParentAuditId (AuditID of parent which last updated the attribute, not consistent)
ChangedBy (Holds the MSKEY of the user which last changed the attribute)
ExpiryTime
to make sure you get a fuller picture of the audit record.
Your selection does not cover all events and descriptions

Default value for attribute "COUNTRY" in BP_HEAD_SEARCH/MainSearch

Hi Gurus,
Requirement is to set default value for attribute "COUNTRY" in BP_HEAD_SEARCH/MainSearch when user clicks on Corporate Account.

Problem in summation on a column with possible null values

Hi,
I want to do summation on a column.
If I use <?sum(amount)?>, if there is any null value,its giving NaN as output.
From the forum I got the below syntax
<?sum(AMOUNT[number(.)!='NaN'])?>
but it is also not giving me the expected result. Its always displays 0.
I want some thing like sum(NVL(amount,0)). Could some body please help me out?
Thanks in Advance,
Thiru

If the column has many, many null values, and you want to use the index to identify the rows with non-null values, this is a good thing, as a B*Tree index will not index the nulls at all, so, even though your table may be very large, with many millions of rows, this index will be small and efficient, cause it will only contain index entries for those rows where the column is not null.
Hope that helps,

Oracle UCM distinct values for attribute in GET_SEARCH_RESULTS ResultSet

hi, can anyone, please, tell if there is a way to get a distinct values of resultset of GET_SEARCH_RESULTS?
I mean, is it possible to obtain distinct values with custom where values of attribute through api?
I need to build somewhat like autosuggest feature, but afaik there is no such service.
Alternatives are
- build my own service which can accept query text, pass it to GET_SEARCH_RESULTS, get results, calculate distinct and output it in hda - i dont like this idea, becouse it means getting whole result set into java while it is efficient to handle in DB
- customize CHECK_IN/UPDATE services to update cached distincts (that means no grouping on custom queries)
May be there was some sort of discussion or blog note?
Thanks in advance.

If you do not declare "SearchEngineName" as part of the request, whatever value is defined in config.cfg is used. This behavior is by design.
Setting it in your request allows you to override the system setting in order to use another search engine, provided that the rest of the underlying parts are in place for the engine you are trying to use. For example, if your system setting is "DATABASE.METADATA", setting your individual request to "ORACLETEXTSEARCH" will probably fail, since the Oracle full text indexes would not exist. But if you are doing just metadata searching based on a couple of columns, and don't need the full text part for the request, it's a good way to craft a very specific search. Combined with a couple of database indexes on the columns in the where clause, it's also a good performer.
I do "SearchEngineName=DATABASE" usually in conjunction with the parameter "SearchQueryFormat=Native" so I can create some database specific queries in native SQL (and thus avoiding the need to figure out the exact internet or universal syntax.) Your mileage may vary.

"Unterminated value for attribute '' in XML Tag ''.(SBL-UIF-00265)"

Getting this message when I do Edit Web Layout for a view in Siebel tools 7.8.2 "Unterminated value for attribute '' in XML tag ''.(SBL-UIF-00265)"...Anyone have any idea why I am getting this message?

Thanks Joseph,
Actually I looked at the Refer ID 1280569.1 before also, some how I could not figured it out the exact location as I was searching for two "(double quotes).
Today I tried again and finally I found out the culprit. In my case actually there was no two double quotes, instead the " (double quote) was missing.
Thanks again.

Validations: Null value for LOVs

See http://htmldb.oracle.com/pls/otn/f?p=24317:239
I have a "Item is not null" validation on that LOV item. The item has "Display null value" set to Yes and a LOV of STATIC2:1,2,3
If I leave the Null return value for the item to blank, the engine defaults it to %null% and the validation "knows" that this is really the same as a null value and so it kicks in (good).
But if I change the Null return value to something like %, the validation doesn't complain, it thinks that this is a not-null value.
Why the inconsistency? Does this mean that we are expected to use the default value of the Null return value i.e. leave it blank and let the engine put in %null%?
Comments? Thanks

Vikas - The declarative not null validation types recognize "actual" null or %null% as null values. This equivalence holds in numerous other situtations during page processing. Why does %null% get special treatment? A convention was chosen and that's it. And it works for almost everybody in almost all situations. In other words, it's useful, if not perfect. If you want a different value, you can specify one in the LOV (as you described). Then you can recognize and convert these values to null or %null% in an after-submit computation so that validations and other mechanisms work normally. (Perhaps it would help if the Builder created such a computation for items having LOVs with specified null values.) One use case for using a specified null return value might be where you want to distinguish a POSTed "actual" null value from the selected "null" value for which you have specified a null return value. Then you can tell if the value was selected from the LOV or whether it got a null value from the item's cache or source methods.

How do I set a NULL value for the parameter field

Hi
I've another question. I'm going to set single values for parameter fields.
// e.g. set today for StartDate parameter field
fc.setCurrentValue("", "StartDate", new Date());
It should be possible to set a NULL value for date parameter fields.
fc.setCurrentValue("", "StartDate", (Date)null);
But this do not work. How do I set a NULL value correctly?
Thank you in advance.
Best regards,
Thomas

First question - is it a stored procedure parameter?
You can't set a regular parameter field value to a null value.
There was an issue with old version of the JRC, where it was allowing null to go through, but had unexpected behavior at times.
Sincerely,
Ted Ueda

like 'skljflsjf'. Can any body findout soln forthe
same.
Hum... I'm not 100% sure, but it seems the answeris:
dgjldkgjfkljg
Please, don't thank me before you confirm thething.

the part where he said he wants it translated to
trollish. How stupid of me.You're absolutely not to blame... to be honest, if I had not read the OP 3-4 times carefully, I would not have found the solution.

Transfered photos from IMac with Iphoto 9 to a mac book with Iphoto 11 now Iphoto 09 errors out saying "You can't open your current photo library using this version of iPhoto."

Transfered photos from IMac with Iphoto 9 to a mac book with Iphoto 11 now Iphoto 09 errors out saying "You can’t open your current photo library using this version of iPhoto.You have made changes to your photo library using a newer version of iPhoto. Please quit and use the latest version of iPhoto." We have not updated or changed anything on the IMac all we did is transfer photos. Any help would be appreciated.

LarryHN is correct. The only way this message occurs is if the iPhoto Library database is upgraded to a newer version.
You could try holding SHIFT-OPT-COMMAND when launching iPhoto from the dock and checking only "Rebuild the iPhoto Library Database from automatic backup" and hope it restores the previous database prior to the upgrade.
If that doesn't work, you can install iPhoto '11 on your iPhoto '09 computer. If I understood the iPhoto '11 Mac App License agreeement correctly, you can install it on any personal, non-commerical computer you own running 10.5, 10.6 and 10.7.

Security Attributes with Multiple/NULL values

I have a couple of situations where I can't seem to get the authorization component working as I need it to work for a database source.
1) In the first case, I have two attributes set for "grant security attributes" in the data source, one of which has a single attribute value, and the other which has multiple values, e.g.
I want to set "grant security attributes" to something like "client_id role_id" where for my dataset, client_id will always be a single numeric value, but I might have multiple role_ids that can view this record. How do I specify in my data source query those multiple attribute values? I tried separating them with spaces, e.g.
SELECT ...
'A B' role_id
FROM
where "A" and "B" represent unique values (looking to match A OR B). I also tried delimiting them with commas, but neither spaces nor commas seems to work consistently.
On the authorization end, using oracle.search.plugin.security.auth.db.DBAuthManager as the authorization plug-in, I have the authorization query set as
SELECT client_id, security_lvl as role_id from test_user_id where user_id = ?
Each user may have more than one role, so in the above query, security_lvl could be something like "B C"; I'm assuming from the documentation that the delimiter for attribute values in this case should be a space.
The crawler logs make it appear that everything is getting indexed, so I suspect the issue is on the authorization front.
2) In the second case, one of my security attributes for the data source may be NULL, meaning that there's no particular authorization restriction on a particular record, so to use the same example as in #1,
role_id might be NULL for some records, in which case, I want those records returned in the search if the client_id matches, but I can't get the records with the NULL role_id to be returned at all. Again, the crawler logs indicate that everything is being indexed, and I'm not sure if there's a log where I can further troubleshooting authorization issues.
Any guidance would be appreciated.
Thanks

1) The security attributes are OR'd together so if the user has any ONE of the attributes (either client ID or role ID), the document can be seen by the user. What I would try is to create a view to call rather than directly against the table. The view can then leverage a PL/SQL function and encapsulate the logic behind the security tokens to return.
So the view would look like this...
CREATE OR REPLACE VIEW USER_SECURITY_V AS
SELECT
USER_T.ID,
MY_SECURITY_FUNCTION(USER_T.ID) AS AUTH_ID
FROM
USER_T
The PL/SQL function would look something like this...
CREATE OR REPLACE FUNCTION MY_SECURITY_FUNCTION(USER_ID NUMBER) RETURN VARCHAR2 IS
-- Do whatever you need to do to build a single space-deliminted list of tokens for both Client and Role ID "CLIENTID4 ROLEID5 ROLEID9" then return
END;
The data source authorization query then would look like this...
SELECT AUTH_ID FROM USER_SECURITY_V A WHERE A.ID = ?
Using a PL/SQL Function to control the tokens gives you the flexibility of modifying security without having to touch the data source directly
2) I don't quite follow. If any ONE of the tokens match, the document is returned. If the role ID is null, you might try stamping each document a "master" security token indicating it's open to everyone such as "ALL". Then in the PL/SQL Function, return "ALL" in front of the actual values.
The crawler logs will only tell you what is indexed at crawl time, not how searching is actually working. Try checking the server logs. These should be under something like oracle/ses/seshome/search/base_domain/servers/AdminServer/logs
Hope this helps!

Delete after trigger returns a NULL value for the old primary key??

I am creat an After trigger that I was using to delete a row from another table. However, the OLD value returned for my primary key is a NULL value. I have an UPDATE and an INSERT portion to this same trigger that work fine with just grabbing NEW values, but this OLD value cannot be grabbed for some reason, although it seems to work on other tables when the owner is me, the problem table is not owned by me though. Has anyone run into this before? Is there a view that I need access to from this table or perhaps a setting I need to turn on? I am at a loss. Thanks.

Cannot reproduce with this modified trigger code â¦ right now I believe the problem is in this part:
BEGIN
col_ret := vpack.vOPCollectIO(tpid, User, 'SCOTT.OINFTABL', dmltype, vdata);
EXCEPTION
WHEN lost_connection OR lost_connection2 THEN
    col_ret := vpack.vOPCollectIO(tpid, User, 'SCOTT.OINFTABL', dmltype, vdata);
END;
In schema CORE:
SQL> create table oinftabl
2 ( akey     number(9) primary key
3   ,astring varchar2(10)
4   ,astring2 varchar2(10)
5 );
Table created.
SQL>
SQL> grant all on oinftabl to flip;
In schema FLIP (which has âCREATE ANY TRIGGERâ):
flip@FLOP> CREATE OR REPLACE TYPE VDAT AS VARRAY(100000) OF VARCHAR2(50);
2     /
create or replace trigger sbt3_system_oinftabl_x
after insert or update or delete on core.oinftabl
REFERENCING NEW as n OLD as o
FOR EACH ROW

col_ret INT;

PRAGMA EXCEPTION_INIT(lost_connection, -28576);
PRAGMA EXCEPTION_INIT(lost_connection2, -28579);
PRAGMA EXCEPTION_INIT(already_there,-1);
BEGIN
tpid := SYS.DBMS_TRANSACTION.LOCAL_TRANSACTION_ID();
IF INSERTING THEN dmltype := 'I';
ELSIF UPDATING THEN dmltype := 'U';
ELSE dmltype := 'D';
END IF;
IF INSERTING OR UPDATING THEN
    dbms_output.put_line('new akey='||nvl(to_char(:n.akey),'null'));
    dbms_output.put_line('new astring='||:n.astring);
    vdata := VDAT(
    to_char(:n.AKEY),
    :n.ASTRING,
    :n.ASTRING2,
    NULL);
ELSIF DELETING THEN
    dbms_output.put_line('old akey='||nvl(to_char(:o.akey),'null'));
    vdata := VDAT(
      to_char(:o.AKEY),
      NULL);
END IF;
for i in 1..vdata.count
loop
    dbms_output.put_line('vdata('||i||')='||nvl(vdata(i),'null'));
end loop;
--BEGIN
-- col_ret := vpack.vOPCollectIO(tpid, User, 'SCOTT.OINFTABL', dmltype, vdata);
--EXCEPTION
-- WHEN lost_connection OR lost_connection2 THEN
--    col_ret := vpack.vOPCollectIO(tpid, User, 'SCOTT.OINFTABL', dmltype, vdata);
--END;
END;
Trigger created.
flip@FLOP> show errors
No errors.
flip@FLOP> insert into core.oinftabl values (1,'abc',null);
new akey=1
new astring=abc
vdata(1)=1
vdata(2)=abc
vdata(3)=null
vdata(4)=null
1 row created.
flip@FLOP> update core.oinftabl set akey=2, astring='cba' where akey=1;
new akey=2
new astring=cba
vdata(1)=2
vdata(2)=cba
vdata(3)=null
vdata(4)=null
1 row updated.
flip@FLOP> delete from core.oinftabl where akey=2;
old akey=2
vdata(1)=2
vdata(2)=null
1 row deleted.
So the trigger has the OLD AKEY value when DELETING and it does successfully store it in the VARRAY.
Hence the problem is in that pl/sql block at the end.
What are you doing in there?

Using Convert to handle NULL values for empty Strings ""

After having had the problem with null values not being returned as nulls and reading some suggestion solution I added a converter to my application.
<converter>
    <converter-id>NullStringConverter</converter-id>
    <converter-for-class>java.lang.String</converter-for-class>
    <converter-class>com.j2anywhere.addressbookserver.web.NullStringConverter</converter-class>
</converter>
...I then implemented it as follows:
public String getAsString(FacesContext context, UIComponent component, Object object)
    System.out.println("Converting to String : "+object);
    if (object == null)
      System.out.println("READING null");
      return "NULL";
    else
      if (((String)object).equals(""))
        System.out.println("READING null (Second Check)");
        return null;
      else
        return object.toString();
public Object getAsObject(FacesContext context, UIComponent component, String value)
    System.out.println("Converting to Object: "+value+"-"+value.trim().length());
    if (value.trim().length()==0 || value.equals("NULL"))
      System.out.println("WRITING null");
      return null;
    else
      return value.toUpperCase();
...I can see that it is converting my values, however the object to which the inputText fields are bound are still set to empty strings ""
<h:inputText size="50" value="#{addressBookController.contactDetails.information}" converter="NullStringConverter"/>Also when reading the object values any nulls are already converted to empty strings before ariving at the converter. It seems that there is a default converter handling string values.
How can I resolve this problem as set nulls when the input value is an empty string other then checking every string in my class individually. I would really hate to pollute my object model with empty string tests.
Thanks in advance
Edited by: j2anywhere.com on Oct 19, 2008 9:06 AM

I changed my converter as suggested :
public Object getAsObject(FacesContext context, UIComponent component, String value)
    if (value == null || value.trim().length() == 0)
      if (component instanceof EditableValueHolder)
        System.out.println("SUBMITTED VALUE SET TO NULL");
        ((EditableValueHolder) component).setSubmittedValue(null);
      else
        System.out.println("COMPONENT :"+component.getClass().getName());
      System.out.println("Converting to Object: " + value + "< to " + null);
      return null;
    System.out.println("Converting to Object: " + value + "< to " + value);
    return value;
}which produces the following output :
SUBMITTED VALUE SET TO NULL
Converting to Object: < to null
Info : The INFO line however comes from my controller object where I print out the set value :
package com.simple;
import java.util.ArrayList;
import java.util.List;
public class Controller
private String information;
/** Creates a new instance of Controller */
public Controller()
    System.out.println("Createing Controller");
    information = "Constructed";
public String process()
    System.out.println("Info : "+getInformation());
    return "processed";
public String reset()
    setInformation("Re-Constructed");
    System.out.println("Info : "+getInformation());
    return "processed";
public String setNull()
    setInformation(null);
    System.out.println("Info : "+getInformation());
    return "processed";
public String getInformation()
    return information;
public void setInformation(String information)
    this.information = information;

any other suggestions what could be causing this.
