Creating an Oracle API
Hello All,
I have a question in mind. Is it possible to write an Oracle API? It could be any generic function that is going to be used frequently. As I have read, API's are executed much faster than the Stored Procedures.
Please do give suggestions if it is possible.
Regards,
P.
API is an abstract concept.
In Oracle, an API will be implemented as stored procedures (typically in packages).
In Windows, an API can be written in C/C++/Delphi/etc and implemented as a DLL (dynamic link library).
In Linux/Unix, an API can be written in C/C++/Pascal/etc and implemented as a SO (shared object library).
In other words, API is implemented as code. Just like any other software.
So why should code written to function as an API be faster than code written for an application?
Why would an API PL/SQL procedure be faster than a normal application procedure?
Whatever you have read is WRONG, or you have INCORRECTLY understood what you have read.

Oracle APIs For Contacts and Role Responsibility
Hello,
Please, I need a direction on how to proceed about the use of the right API. I'm working with Oracle EBS R12. If this is not the place for this kind of doubt, please let me know the best one.
I already have a site for a customer, which was created by the ra_customers_interface_all, after loading the data and processing the interface.
Now I need to create (using Oracle APIs) a contact name, which will have at least a telephone number and an e-mail address.
I know that the contact name will be in table HZ_PARTIES, but later it will be related to a site. The registry that will be used for this has the Party_Type value equals to 'PARTY_RELATIONSHIP', according to what the customers interface did after being executed.
Then the telephone number and e-mail address will be in table HZ_CONTACT_POINTS. The Owner_Table_Name of it has to be 'HZ_PARTIES'. The Owner_Table_Id of it will have the value of Party_Id from table HZ_PARTIES, which has Party_Type value equals to 'PARTY_RELATIONSHIP'.
After this, my main goal is to create a role responsibility to the contact name. So I know there are other two tables involved. They are HZ_CUST_ACCOUNT_ROLES and HZ_ROLE_RESPONSIBILITY.
And I see there are two more tables involved, which are HZ_RELATIONSHIPS, which will do the PERSON x ORGANIZATION relation, and also table HZ_ORG_CONTACTS, which has the field PARTY_SITE_ID, to finally indicate that this contact is part of a site, which I already have.
I have all these tables in mind. I just need a tip on how to proceed. I'm able to create a party as PERSON, not yet as PARTY_RELATIONSHIP. I'm able to create a contact point (telephone number). I'm lacking the idea about what to do have this:
site -> contact name -> telephone number of this contact name inside this site
I can do this:
site -> telephone number of this site
Any help would be great.Thanks for the reply but i stil have the problem...............

Using TCA API's Including Examples [ID 201243.1]
How To Create A Customer Via TCA API [ID 159393.1] -
We are implementing an interface between Oracle Mfg and a third party application to transfer BOMs etc. Here is the scenario I am looking to get some input on.... A simple BOM (2 components) was transferred to Oracle manufacturing using the interface which processes BOM data via oracle API and creates an EC in Engineering module. After this transaction was completed, Engineering module showed item sequence numbers of 10 and 20 assigned to 2 components of the BOM. This BOM was revised and one of its components was disabled (one that had item sequence number of 10)and this change was submitted using our interface. ECO in the engineering module showed that the component was disabled but item sequence number assigned to this component was 30 instead of its original number 10. If the same exercise is carried out directly in Oracle engineering module item sequence number for disabled item would show as 10. So Oracle behaviour is different based on whether item in the BOM structure was disabled using API vs directly in Oracle where it should be same in both cases. Could it be a bug ?? Any input on this would be greatly appreciated.
Hi Sunil,
This is a bug. There doesn't seem to be a workaround.
Can you contact me via email or post your email?

Calling oracle API having parameter as record type throughPL/SQL WebService
Hi All,
I dont know whether this is the right forum to put this query, but as i am using a pl/sql web service , putting the query on this forum.
My requirement is to call oracle API which in turh creates a single Invoice(using Ar_Invoice_Api_Pub.create_single_invoice )
But the issue is this API in turn has some of the input parameters as Record type and table type, my concern is how to pass this data(record type or table type) as parameter thorugh java code .. If i use Collection or Hashmap will it work , I dont think so , some intermediate conversion will require.
Subsequently the other requirement is fetch this record/table type data and return it to the java code
Please correct me if i am wrong and suggest a proper solution if anybody is aware off or tried such things before.
Thanks in advance.
Regards,
Anant.Hi,I'm new comer of this world,
I've a pl/sql like this:
package MY_WS_API is
type record_set is ref cursor;
PROCEDURE Get_User_Info(p_user_id VARCHAR2,
p_rep_id VARCHAR2,
p_flag out number,
p_msg out varchar2,
p_recordset out record_set);
end MY_WS_API;
when I using jdeveloper trying to publish it as a webservice, in the step 4 of the wizzard poping me choose the program unit to expose, the PROCEDURE Get_User_Info is not available and told me "Ref cursor Type is not supported due to a jdbc limitation and Ref Cursor Types are only supported for use of return type".
THE QUESTION is:
1.the cursor I used is of return type,I'm not very understanding the "why not" message upon.
2.in such case , need I trans the return cursor into Object[] if have to?
3.any other limitation for generating WS from PL/SQL using jdeveloper?
Thanks! -
Can't us Oracle API on the simple JSP pages added to the portlet........
Hi,
I added a jsp page in the portlet which is not a standard page like the default show mode pages. I have added some code which actually access a resource inside the porltet.
" img src="<%= UrlUtils.constructResourceURL (pReq, HttpPortletRendererUtil .absoluteLink(request, "icon.png")) %> "
For that you have to add the following two imports in the code
mport="oracle.portal.provider.v2.render.http.HttpPortletRendererUtil"
import="oracle.portal.provider.v2.url.UrlUtils"
This library is available with the JDeveloper and I dont get any error while compiling and even deploying the portlet war file on the applcation server. Strangely the same piece of code shows the image perfectly for the default show page of the portlet but it generates 500 Internal server error for the other simple jsp page I added, which suggests that the server is unable to find the function:
500 Internal Server Error

Can anybody help? Is this possible to use oracle api in the pages which are though added to the portlet but not the standard show modes pages?
Thanking you in anticipation

user574208Thanks Nrintala. I tried to work with multipage portlet example provided in the jpdk. In fact I created another portlet with two pages and copied the code of the two pages of the multipage portlet. (Off course I took care of the names and stuff). Later I modified the provider.xml by defining "next_page" parameter. When I viewed my portlet, first page appeared fine but when I click on the link which should show the second page, I got an error which says.
Error: Error occurred while rendering portlet - see provider log file for details.
Do you think I have missed something? I am depoying my war file on the stand alone OC4J and some how I have not been able to find the application.log file in my application inside the application_deployments of the J2EE_HOME. I have pasted the provider.xml file and I would be grateful if you can help.

Thanks for your reply.
1) did you stop the CI before making the modifications as stated in the installation guide?
Yes
2) is your database currently running on the same physical cluster node as your CI?
No.Database instance is running on DB node and CI is on CI node.
3) is your database online?
Yes,it is up and running

Invoking a web service not created using oracle web service lib
Hi All,
I have a need to invoke my web service from oracle sql command. My web service not created using oracle web service library, but it is created using axis c++ libraries. Is it possible to do so,
Thanks in advance,
Regards,
MonicaIn order to call out from the database process, is SQL (or PL/SQL) you need to generate some client code, that understand the details about the specific of the service you want to invoke and can produce the correct SOAP request. Once this proxy is uploaded in the Database, you can use it.
There is a set of Database Web services samples that should help you get started. You can also take a look at the developer's guide - see Developing a Web Service Client in the Database.
Hope it answers your question.

How to Create an Oracle BAM Server Connection?
I m following the steps at the end of this post to create the connection but at the end I m getting this message from JDev:
{Unable to write to
/C:/JDeveloper/mywork/Application1/.adf/META-INF/connections.xml
because it is a read-only. Either make it writable or allow it to be made writable through source control.}
it creates the directory C:/JDeveloper/mywork/Application1/.adf/META-INF/ with only a adf-config.xml file but NOT the connections.xml any one knows what is wrong?
Bellow is the stpes I m following. Its exactly what is written at the Oracle Fusion Middleware Developer´s guide for Oracle SOA Suite 11g Release 1(11.1.1) E10224-01
To create an Oracle BAM connection:
1. Select New from the File main menu in Oracle JDeveloper.
The New Gallery dialog opens.
2. Choose Connections from the General category.
3. Select BAM Connection in the Items list, and click OK.
The BAM Connection wizard opens.
4. Provide a name for the connection. Leave the Create Connection In selection as
Application Resources.
5. Click Next.
6. Enter the following connection information about the Oracle BAM instance.
7. Click Next.
8. Test the connection by clicking Test Connection. If the connection was successful,
the following message appears:
Passed.
9. Click Finish.
Note: You can create connections to Oracle BAM in the Oracle
JDeveloper Resource Palette as well as the Application Resources
panel of a specific application. It is recommended that you create these
connections in the Application Resources pane rather than the
Resource Palette.
Field Description
BAM Web Host Enter the name of the host on which the BAM report server and
Web server are installed. In most cases, the BAM Web host and
Oracle BAM Server host are the same.
BAM Server Host Enter the name of the host on which the Oracle BAM Server is
installed.
User Name Enter the Oracle BAM Server user name (typically bamadmin).
Password Enter the password of the user name.
HTTP Port Enter the port number or accept the default value of 8888. This is
the HTTP port for the BAM Web host.
RMI Port Enter the port number or accept the default value of 9085. The
RMI port is for the BAM report cache, which is part of the Oracle
BAM Server.
Use HTTPS Select this check box if you want to use secure HTTP (HTTPS) to
connect to the Oracle BAM Server during design time.
Otherwise, HTTP is used.

Mario.MesquitaOk that will be nice, but is not the case I dont want to read the tutorial, the problem is I already start to read and execute the tutorial you told me the problem is this tutorial it doesnt show how to do everything from scratch because you already have inside the zip file everything like xmls etc etc, and I want to get my DO and create the process myself, I dont want to get something that it is already done, this tutorial does not show for example how to create this composite.xml, this file it is already inside the zip file, so this way I just follow half of the process and dont learn how to make the whole process.

PDF file created from Oracle Report is attached wrongly
Hi,
Please help. It is very urgent.
I am using Oracle Developer 10gR2, Oracle Report 10.1.2 on Windows 2000.
I would like to attach the PDF file created by Oracle Report to the Notification sent from Workflow.
I use the following package procedure in my Workflow.
procedure Create_File_Attachment (document_id in varchar2, display_type in varchar2, document in out blob, document_type in out varchar2)
is
l_itemtype varchar2(100);
l_itemkey varchar2(100);
l_output_directory varchar2(30);
l_filename varchar2(255);
src_loc bfile;
bdoc blob;
src_offset number := 1;
dst_offset number := 1;
amount number;
begin
l_itemtype := substr(document_id, 1, instr(document_id, ':') - 1);
l_itemkey := substr(document_id, instr(document_id, ':') + 1, length(document_id) - 2);
l_output_directory := 'USR_TMP_DIR';
l_filename := Wf_Engine.GetItemAttrText(l_itemtype, l_itemkey, 'ATR_FILENAME');
src_loc := bfilename(l_output_directory,l_filename);
dbms_lob.createTemporary(bdoc, FALSE, dbms_lob.call);
dbms_lob.fileopen(src_loc, dbms_lob.file_readonly);
dbms_lob.loadblobfromfile(bdoc,src_loc,dbms_lob.lobmaxsize,src_offset,dst_offset);
dbms_lob.fileclose(src_loc);
amount := dbms_lob.getLength(bdoc);
dbms_lob.copy(document,bdoc,amount,1,1);
document_type := 'application/pdf; name=attach.pdf';
end Create_File_Attachment;Oracle Report created the PDF file correctly (original.pdf).
I tried to attach the PDF into my Workflow.
I can see the file is attached (attach.pdf), but it cannot be opened.
The Adobe shows : 'A drawing error occured.' each time I open the attachment.
I compare the original.pdf and the attach.pdf
However, there is one specific difference
- in original.pdf, the line started with '.' (single period)
in attach.pdf, the line is started with '..' (two periods)
Thus the attachment cannot be opened.
After I delete the period, it can be opened.
Question:
- Has someone ever succeed in attaching the PDF created from Report?
- Are the codes above is wrong?
- Or perhaps the DBMS_LOB.LOADBLOBFROMFILE always double the single period on front of the line?
- Is there any solution on this?
Note:
I have succeed in attaching PDF files unless the PDF created by the Report.
Sorry for the long post.
Please help. It is very urgent.
Any help is appreciated.
Many thanks,
BuntoroThe code looks absolutely good. I have the same code working in my system. Only difference is I use TRUE and DBMS_LOB.Session for the BLOB I use to read from the BFILE.
I can suggest one more way to handle to binary attachments if you are on Oracle 9i DB are later versions.
procedure attach_document (p_document_id in varchar2,
p_display_type in varchar2,
p_document in out nocopy clob,
p_document_type in out nocopy varchar2)
is
l_nid number;
l_directory varchar2(100);
l_filename varchar2(100);
l_content_type varchar2(100);
l_src_offset binary_integer := 1;
l_dst_offset binary_integer := 1;
l_err_msg varchar2(100);
l_amount number;
l_bfile BFILE;
l_blob BLOB;
l_clob CLOB;
file_not_found exception;
pragma EXCEPTION_INIT(file_not_found, -22288);
begin
l_nid := to_number(p_document_id);
l_directory := trim(wf_notification.GetAttrText(l_nid, 'ATTR_DIRECTORY'));
l_filename := trim(wf_notification.GetAttrText(l_nid, 'ATTR_FILENAME'));
l_content_type := trim(wf_notification.GetAttrText(l_nid, 'ATTR_CONTENT_TYPE'));
l_bfile := BFILENAME(l_directory, l_filename);
dbms_lob.createtemporary(l_blob, true, dbms_lob.Session);
dbms_lob.createtemporary(l_clob, true, dbms_lob.Session);
begin
dbms_lob.FileOpen(l_bfile, dbms_lob.File_Readonly);
exception
when file_not_found then
l_err_msg := to_char(sqlcode)||' - Attachment File "'||l_filename||'" is not found.';
raise_application_error(-20002, l_err_msg);
end;
dbms_lob.LoadBLOBFromFile(l_blob, l_bfile, dbms_lob.LobMaxSize, l_src_offset, l_dst_offset);
dbms_lob.FileClose(l_bfile);
-- Encode the BLOB content to BASE64 and attach to notification
wf_mail_util.EncodeBLOB(l_blob, l_clob);
l_amount := dbms_lob.GetLength(l_clob);
dbms_lob.Copy(p_document, l_clob, l_amount, 1, 1);
-- Mention an appropriate Content Type so that Notification System
-- understands the attachment content
p_document_type := l_content_type||'; encoding=base64; name='||l_filename;
end attach_document;Here I read the BLOB from the filesystem and base64 encode it before giving it to the Mailer. Please note that this is a PLSQLCLOB based attachment as against PLSQLBLOB that you are using.

Field selection problem in a form created in Oracle forms 9i
I am using an application created in Oracle 9 i Forms. Mouse navigation in the forms do not work properly. Since a field is selected and some string is typed then first character is allways ignored hence it is necessary to press a key like before typing required string. The same application works well when I'm using Oracle JInitiator.
Hi, again and thanks for the patience. I am using the oracle plugin all the time and it works. But I need to use the application on different computer where the oracle JInitiator could not be installed. There I am trying to use the Sun Java Plugin Version 1.4.2_06 (build 1.4.2_06-b03) which shall be compatible. Since last time I asked again the provider and I found that the application is pure Oracle Forms 9i application which doesn't need Java when it is run on the computer where the application is instaled. The Java plugin is then used to show the forms and to provide the comunication between clients and application server. Probably it is clear to you however I am not a developer but poor user only. I have also tried to play with the application to find how it works (or doesn't works). It seems that the problem is exactly with mouse navigation. When tab or enter is used then it works fine. But when a form field is selected by mouse then a character is typed and i can see it. But when I continue with the writing the first character is overwrite. Sometimes when there is a list of records row by row and I try to get to next row using the mouse the application tells me that some bloody key is not valid but using the key down I can easily go ti next row. To tell the truth I don't like mouses at all so it is no problem to me but other users do not know how Tab works :-)

Help with Creating a Oracle Data Source
Hello:
I am trying to create a Oracle Data source.

Thanks.
venkiEnter whatever name suits you. This is the name you will use when looking up your datasource in the JNDI tree, i.e.
Context ctx = new InitialContext();
DataSource oracleDS = (DataSource) ctx.lookup("myJNDIName");
