Cursor open error SQLSTT - 72000, SQL code - 969

We have purchased a product called Access Manager for DB2 and installed it on our AS400. This gives us the connectivitiy to Oracle server with which we do the Warehouse management software interface using our legacy system on AS400.
I have written several programs in SQLRPGLE and not quite sure as to how I can handle errors coming out of Oracle server.
As per my knowledge in my programs, I do
declare cursor
open cursor
fetch
dow look for sqlstate
fetch next row
enddo
close cursor
I am also new to this much of SQL.
Now, my programs are running in production and works just fine if we don;t have any issues with oracle server (database server down etc.).
My question is if the database server goes down for any reason, my SQLRPGLE progam starts giving me cursor not open errors, the actual error is as follows:
Connection to relational database HJAWCD1 already exists.
ARDUPAR: ARDUPAR: rc=-1(OCI_ERROR) from OCIStmtExecute when asking for
Describe-Info
ARDUPAR(1): ORA-03114: not connected to ORACLE
ARDAROC: rc = -1 from parse
SQLSTATE class unknown - SQLSTATE 72000, SQLCODE -969.
Cursor SEHOST not open.
Cursor SEHOST not open.
Cursor SEHOST not open.
So although, the connection exist between the AS400 and Oracle server as suggested from first statement, but then the cursor is giving me problems of not opening.
what I would like to know is how do I check in my SQL statement the error and somehow reconnect and open the cursor again.
Please help in this regard, since I am not finding any help from iseries world becuase no one seems to have knowledge about this product that we have installed and I don;t have too mcuh of documentation on the product nor do I have any sample handling messages program using RPGLE between oracle and AS400 using the product.

It's been over a decade since I worked on an AS/400 (iSeries), but I've seen an ORA-03114 is thrown from the OCI when you've attempted an illegal statement. That error typically means you are no longer connected to the database. I'd guess that your new application has a defective RPG error management routine.
Good luck, Michael

Too many Cursors open error

I have been getting this error in my Jdeveloper App.
ORA-01000 : maximum open cursors exceeded.
We have open cursors set at 220. I am using straight JDBC thin
to call the database (8.1.5) and have been closing ResultSets
the best I can. It happens after I use the app for a little bit.
Any suggestions on what is causing this.
PS
This is a test database and I am the only one on it.
Thanks
Greg

PreparedStatement ps = null;
RsultSet rs = null;
try {
// Do work here
} catch (Exception erx) {
// handle error
} finally {
try { rs.close(); } catch {}
try { ps.close(); } catch {}
In this way, you should never leave a cursor open.

When I tried to run this program I am getting below error:
ORA-01007 - variable not in select list.Please help to resolve.
You likely would not need any help in you wrote and tested your code using standard best practices.
Your code has NO exception handler and you are NOT identifying each step in the code so that the exception handler could print/log a message telling you EXACTLY which step raised the exception.,
v_step NUMBER;
-- before step 1
v_step := 1;
-- before step 2
v_step := 2;
Then in the exception handler the value of 'v_step' will tell you which step raised the exception.
The exception you posted refers to a 'select list' so examine ALL of the select lists in your code. If you do that you will see that the primary query being run is obtained from a database table and then executed using dynamic SQL
execute immediate bpm_rec.query BULK COLLECT INTO l_ENTITY_v,l_DATA_v,l_count_v;
We have no way of knowing what query is in 'bpm_rec.query' when the exception happens or what columns that query returns. For all we know the query returns 2 columns and you are trying to load 3 collections. Or maybe the query returns 8 columns and you are trying to load 3 collections.
Why don't you print out the query and execute it manually so you can see exactly what the result set looks like?
dbms_output.put_line(bpm_rec.query);
And don't even get us started on why you are using such security-prone dynamic sql to perform this processing instead of using ordinary SQL statements. Or why you are using associative arrays for the BULK COLLECT instead of nested tables.
In short your code could blow up in several places and, because you have NO logging statements, control statements or exception handlers, anyone having to troubleshoot that code would have absolutely no idea what part of it may be the problem.

ADO Object was Open error aka DB_E_OBJECTOPEN on Large Dataset in MS SQL 2012

Hi I am running a query with a big result set in my Delphi application using tADOQuery.
When I request 12 months data I get an error "Object was Open".
But if I run the same query on 1 month of data it works fine.
The mechanism I use to open all queries in my application is the same and has always worked for many years. This is the first time I have hit this error. My application has run thousands of different queries across many customer sites without ever
hitting this error.
In my research I found that this seems to correspond to an ADO Error DB_E_OBJECTOPEN.
The 12 month query runs perfectly OK in SQL Mgmt Studio and takes about 1.5 minutes to start showing results. But it is 4 minutes before it works out there are 3,810,979 rows.
I am using a client cursor
myADOQuery.CursorLocation:=clUseClient;
And I am setting a large CommandTimeout = 600;
So why does the query fail in the ADO client (but it works in SQL Mgmt Studio)?
And what does this "Object was Open" error mean?

Hi Justin,
The below picture is the relationships between the Data Access component. ADO is based on OLEDB, the underlying provide is OLEDB.
As you can see, ADO provider is based on OLE DB provider or ODBC Driver.
And DB_E_OBJECTOPEN is the error you experence. It is returned by OLE DB provider (be it SQLOLEDB, SQLNCLI or any 3rd party provider) when it makes a call to ICommand::Execute without closing the result of the previous execution (see
http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ms718095(VS.85).aspx).
Did anything change recently in your environment, a new version of the client application was deployed or client driver was upgraded?
Usually this error occurs because of the problem in the client application, not the client provider. Application should do either of the following:
Fully consume the result of the previous command execution prior to issuing a new command. If it doesn't, it might be leaking an object.
If the result must be pending, it should turn set DBPROP_MULTIPLECONNECTIONS property to VARIANT_TRUE which will allow underlying OLE DB provider to establish additional connections under the hood. This must only be done if developer is absolutely sure
that the application needs the previous result.
Enable Multiple Active Result Sets on the connection which would allow running multiple queries on the same connection. This is also must be done consciously, as it may mask object leak.
Besides, maybe you have known that the CommandTimeout is 30s by default. However, the reason that you can succeed when you use SSMS(SQL Server Management Studio) to run the query is because when using SSMS to create a new connetion,
the commandTimeout is 0 by default. It means it has no limitation for the query command time. But when you use ADO client to create a new connection to run the query, the time which is taken by the query may beyond the commandTimeout
setting .So it failed to return the results in your ADO client.
From a support perspective to further analize this issue is really beyond what we can do here in the forums. If you cannot determine your answer here or on your own, consider opening a support
case with us. Visit this link to see the various support options that are available to better meet your needs:

Named Pipes Provider, error: 40 - Could not open a connection to SQL Server

This was originally posted in the SSIS Forum, but a member of the IS team suggested it be moved here. "Most recently I got this error (Named Pipes Provider, error: 40 - Could not open a connection to SQL Server) so does this mean that SQL Server is still trying to use named pipes even if I only have TCP/IP enabled in SQL Server Configuration Manager?"
I'm having the same issue, and here's our scenario:
Installed SQL Server 2005 Developer Edition on a machine with WinXP SP2 and enabled remote connections over TCP/IP
Installed SQL Server 2005 Standard Edition on a machine with Win2003 SP1 (remote connections over TCP/IP enabled by default)
Attempted to 'Copy Database' from Developer Edition TO Standard Edition using 'Detach and Attach' method and recieved the error on the Win2003 machine: Named Pipes Provider, error: 40 - Could not open a connection to SQL Server
Attempted to 'Copy Database' from Developer Edition TO Standard Edition using 'SQL Management Objects' method and recieved the error on the Win2003 machine: Named Pipes Provider, error: 40 - Could not open a connection to SQL Server
Reinstalled Standard Edition on the Win2003 SP1 machine
Checked all the settings on both machines several times, restarted services etc., and read every post I could find referencing the error.
Same error
Lost my last hair
Thanks in advance,

Nan,
Before I get on with this post - thank you for your reply.
The XPSP2 machine actually had the firewall disabled, and I verified that it could accept connections on the the associated ports with the Shields Up utility. I tested this on both machines.
I can connect to the server from the XPSP2 machine, Import / Export, manage, view logs, and do everything EXCEPT get the Copy Database package to run. SQL Server Agent always fails on the last step with the following error:

PL/SQL leaves cursors open?

I have been researching into what might look like a resource drain in an Oracle 7.3.4 database we have on a SCO OpenServevr 5.0.5 server.
There are a couple of applications written in PRO*C (compiled on Solaris with Oracle 8.1.5) always running that keep connections open to the DB. All exchange of data between the apps and the db happens via calls to stored procedures.
Examining the state of the connections, I noticed that the number of open cursors and UGA/PGA memory used seems to increase over time, and never stabilizes.
I experimented a bit and noticed that even if I open a session via SQL/PLUS and call an extermely simple procedure that opens a cursors, fetches it, closes it and then commits, the cursor remains open until the session is closed (I examined the session with Toad and Enterprise manager - and cursor cache count is set to 0). Is the open cursor consuming resources (e.g. using precious ram of the SGA) even after the procedure is ended? And if so, how can I release a maximum of resources when my applications are idle, without having to close and reopen the session?
Thanks, Gaetano Giunta

If the open cursors are too many then
ALTER SYSTEM SET CURSOR_SHARING = FORCE;
Works only with oracle9i
uv to set ur initparam CURSOR_SHARING=FORCE.
Which will try using bind variables only.
Check docs on cursor_sharing may be u may get fair idea on bringing down cursor openings....

Maximum open Cursors Excedded error - for every transaction

Hi All,
I am getting the maximum opn cursors exceeded error suddenly for every single db transaction i am trying to make in my application. this did not happen previously during my developemnt and testing phase.
I have a question here that i tried to google but failed to get satisfactory answer.:-
When we use a cursor in the stored procedure to fetch data, how to make oracle automatically close the cursors once the stored proc finishes executin. Or is there something i have to follow other with my current open cursors limit to ensure this problem does not happen?
Thanks,
Chaitanya

Hi Justin,
My oracle stored procs are called by java framework. In each place i was closing the connection object but there were a few places where i was not closing the resultset object which directly pointed to my oracle cursor.
I have closed the objects in such places and tried again but still i am getting the same error. Mit it be an instance where the oracle db is not allowing me to connect to it at all. Something like restarting it would help? Restarting the server where the oracle software is hosted.
Please excuse my blatant ignorance in this issue.
Thanks,
Chaitanya

Named Pipes provider, error:40 could not open a connection to sql server. Only happens on one of the front end SRS servers

when testing a datasource connection I get the following error.
Named Pipes provider, error:40 could not open a connection to sql server.
I've read all the posts on this and nothing works. This is a scale out deployment and the connection
works from the other server I have setup with SRS that is connected to the same backend SRS databases. It just doesn't work from one of the SRS front ends. I'm at a loss.. please help

Enable both named pipe and TCP communications.
Make sure client is using the same (named) pipe name as server for connection.

Reporting Services 2008 R2 configuration error: Named Pipes Provider, error: 40 - Could not open a connection to SQL Server

Hi, I am using SQL Server 2008 R2 and on one of our dev boxes I am trying to setup ReportServer using ReportingServices Configuration manager. This is was installed longtime back and during installation they created a service account for reporting services.
When I try to configure the service account I do not get the service account created during the installation in the pull down and if I were to use something different I get this "Named Pipes Provider, error: 40 - Could not open a connection to SQL Server"
error.
Thanks in advance...........

Re: Named Pipes Provider, error: 40 - Could not open a connection to SQL Server

Hi,
I'm encountering an issue with "Named Pipes Provider, error: 40 windows" and am having problems determining how to fix it due to the environment I'm using. I have two SQL Servers installed on two separate Win2K3 Server boxes, one is SQL Server 2000 and the other is SQL Server 2005. The SQL Server 2000 contains the actual application data. The 2005 database is used only for Reporting Services. I've set up the reports on SSRS such that their datasources hit the 2000 server. This is using SQL Server authentication.
When testing the reports via SSRS (in Visual Studio 2005), the connection to the data works and the reports are generated fine. When I deploy them to the reporting server and launch IE to test locally (still on the 2005 box), I get this "Named Pipes Provider, error 40" issue. I made sure that Named Pipes and TCP were enabled and the port set at 1433 (to match that on the 2000 box).
Now I changed the datasource's authentication from SQL Server to Windows authentication. I tested this in SSRS and this works too. When I redeployed the reports with this authentication change, testing the reports via IE locally (on the 2005 box) worked. Great. Now when I open IE on an external box, i.e. on the 2000 box, and try to test the reports, I get this same error 40 issue. I've been through a few threads describing the error 40, fiddling around with the SQL Server configuration as well as SSRS, to no avail. I have a feeling this error 40 issue has to due with permissions/authentication between the SQL Server boxes but I can't really be sure. Anyone have any ideas on how to troubleshoot my situation. Thanks.

Named Pipes Provider, error: 40 - Could not open a connection to SQL Server :
I. Incorrect connection string, such as using SqlExpress.

The typical error when dealing with Express includes:
a. User is not aware of SqlExpress was installed as a named instance, consequently, in his/her connection string, he/she only specify ".","localhost" etc instead of ".\SqlExpress" or "<machinename>\Sqlexpress".
b. Np was disabld by default after installing SqlExpress.
c. If Sqlexpress was installed on the remote box, you need to enable remote connection for Express.
Please read the following blog for best practice of connecting to SqlExpress.
http://blogs.msdn.com/sql_protocols/archive/2006/03/23/558651.aspx
II. Named Pipes(NP) was not enabled on the SQL instance.

Oppose to SQL 2000 which turn on all protocols, SQL 2005 SKUs turn off NP by default. So, when you see this error, please check:
1) Go to SQL Server Configuration Manager, See Server has NP enabled.
2) %windir%\program files\microsoft sql server\mssql.1\mssql\log, notepad ERRORLOG, see whether Server is listening on NP. You should see "Server named pipe provider is ready to accept connection on [ \\.\pipe\sql\query ] or [\\.\pipe\mssql$<InstanceName>\sql\query]"
3) Notice that "sql\query" is the default pipe name, so you need to know server is listening on which pipe name. eg: if you specify server pipe name is "sql\query1", then you would see in the errorlog that server listening on [ \\.\pipe\sql\query1 ], and go to SQL Server Configuration Manager, click client Named Pipe properties, see whether the pipe name is same with the one server listening on.
4) If you are using SQL Native Client ODBC/OLEDB provider({SQL Native Client} or SQLNCLI), go to SQL Configuration Manager, click client protocols, make sure NP and TCP are both enabled. Right click properties of NP, make sure client is using the same pipe name as server for connection.
5) If you are using MDAC ODBC/OLEDB({SQL Server} or SQLOLEDB) provider, in command line, launch "cliconfg.exe" and make sure NP enabled and right pipe name specified.
III. Remote connection was not enabled.
Check out: when you right click on the Server in SQL Server Management Studio, in Connections, the Remote server connections part, you have enabled the "Allow remote connections to this server" check box

If you are making a remote connection, namely, your target SQL Server is on the different box as client application, you might need to check whether:
a. "File and Printer Sharing" was opened in Firewall exception list.
b. Please see the blog for enabling remote connection for express and troubleshooting tips of remote connection.

IV. Server not started, or point to not a real server in your connection string.
Check out: Open SQL Server Surface Area Configuration and ensure all the required services are started, Remote Connections are configured.

a. use "sc query mssqlserver" for default instance or "sc query mssql$<instancename>" to make sure SQL Server was started. Sometimes, reseason behind the broken of your client application w/ this error:40 might be SQL server restarted and failed, so, it'd better for you to double check.
b. User specified wrong server in their connection string, as described in the forum discussion, "MSSQLSERVER" is an invalid instance name. Remember, when you connect to default instance, <machinename> could be best representitive for the instance, when you connect to a named instance such as sqlexpress, you should specify <machinename>\<instancename> as data source in your connection string.
V. Other reasons such as incorrect security context.

Such error also occured during user operation such as moving database or db mirroring or cluster, any DB OP that might invovle different sql instances, namely, the destination database is located in another sql instance and user is not aware of the state of the destination. I recommend you first isolate whether this fail is during connection stage or data operation stage.
a. During data operation, you are normally asked to type in the destination server name whether it is default to "(local)" or another server "<remotemachinename>". So, remember the exact string that represent the target instance, then when the error repros, open command line, use "sqlcmd -S<representitive> -E" ,see what happens, if the connection fail, please follow up above I - IV troubleshooting lists. otherwise continue.
b. If you can make basic conection, but still face the error, then there must be something that server reject the connection or client close the connection for some reason.
VI. Please try basic connectivity tests between the two mahcines you are working on. One simple way to verifty connectivity is to use command line tools, such as osql.exe. For example, osql -E -Stcpervername\instancename. If it connects cross-machine successfully, please also verify that your connection string in your scenario is correct.
Here are some blogs which could be helpful: just follow the basic connectivity troubleshooting guidelines on the SQL Protocols blog, see:
