Dashboard refresh - ORA-24373 invalid length specified for statement

Post Author: Reesy
CA Forum: Performance Management and Dashboards
I am getting the following error message in the log file "ORA-24373: invalid length specified for statement" when trying to refresh a metric via dashboard manager. The metric has been successfully refreshed previously. The only change that I am aware of is that more data has been added to the underlying database (Oracle 10g).
There are a number of different filters on the metric - some work ok - some give the above error.
Can anyone help?
Cheers

Hi Can anyone help explain why I am getting the above error while trying to call a plsql program unit in an SQL query that supplies data to an oracle report.
The program unit compiles successfully in the plsql editor but a reference to it has been unsuccessful.

Error -ORA-01483: invalid length for DATE or NUMBER bind variable

In discoverer plus, attempt to save a discoverer workbook into the database fails with the error:
ORA-01483 invalid length for DATE or NUMBER bind variable
The same workbook can be safely saved in "My Computer".
Any idea why and what is the solution.

Why: not quite sure, probably the code is validating the workbook when it saves it to the db and you've got an error in the sql. What happens when you run the workbook that you saved to the file system? Does it show the same error when run?
Solution: Can you post the sql in the workbook? In the meantime try the following: Replace any to_char statements around dates with to_date statements instead. For example:
Replace:
where to_char(mydate, 'dd-mon-yyyy') = '05-apr-2009'
With:
where mydate = to_date('05-APR-2009','DD-MON-YYYY')

What does your own research of 'ORA-00205' indicate?
the text of the error message is pretty self explanatory .. it couldn't find the control file.
The control files are specified by the "control_files" initialilzation paramter. When you get this error, the instance has started but was unable to mount the control file. since the init file (spfile) was processed and the instance started you can easily see what it thinks are the control files.

Checkbox and ORA-20507: Invalid numeric value #:# for column

Hi All,
I'm facing problems Checkboxes in a form.
I created a form and report on a table. one of the fields on the form is a checkbox and when ever I want to create a new record or update with more than one value for the checkkbox I obtain the following error:
ORA-20507: Invalid numeric value #:# for column COLUMN_NAME Where by #:# is numbers
I think the error occurs at the processes of get_pk and process_row_of_......
how should I change the processes to accommodate the checkbox values.
Kind regards
Mel

few things you can check :
a) Is there a password file ? Is the password correct in it ?
b) SYSDBA remote login is disabled. remote_login_passwordfile is not set to EXCLUSIVE in the spfile or init.ora.
Set: remote_login_passwordfile= EXCLUSIVE
Create a password file:
Unix: $
orapwd file=$ORACLE_HOME/dbs/orapw$ORACLE_SID password=sys entries=5
Windows:
C:\> orapwd file=%ORACLE_HOME%\database\pwd%ORACLE_SID% password= sys entries=5
To synchronize the password for sys for normal connections and connections as sysdba connect as a sysdba user and reset the sys password:

"Invalid printer specified" for 32bit Windows Service in 64bit Server

Hi All,
I'm having some issues with crystal reports.
My development environment:
Visual Studio 2008, 32bit Windows XP
Running environment:
Windows Server 2003 Service Pack 2 64 bit
Crystal Reports Basic Runtime for Visual Studio 2008 (x86)
I've created two applications: one is console application and one is windows service. Both application run same codes to print crystal reports to printers and run at 32 bit. I can have multiple instance of console application running without any issues. When I run the windows service version, the first time the service works fine. But after I restarted the windows server, the crystal report throw Sysstem.Runtime.InteropServices.COMException.
The detail of the exception is:
System.Runtime.InteropServices.COMException (0x80000201):
Invalid printer specified.
   at CrystalDecisions.ReportAppServer.Controllers.PrintOutputControllerClass.ModifyPrinterName(String newVal)
   at CrystalDecisions.CrystalReports.Engine.PrintOptions.set_PrinterName(String value)
   at Company.PrintReport(ReportClass report, String printerName)
Both console application and windows service run at 32 bits. The user runs the service is domain controller who has admin permission. And the same problem happened on an web application hosted on IIS of the same server.
What I've done so far:
1. Set the printer option in the report to no printer
2. Try install the crystal report x64
3. For the windows service build for x86.
Please some one help me in this.
Cheers

That is a rather strange issue.
Make sure you are killing the report object once you're doen with it. E.G;
Dim report as New ReportDocument
Protected Sub Page_load()
End Sub
Private Page_Unload()
report.close()
report.dispose()
GC.Collect
End Sub
//C# (on form open):
private void WebForm1_Init(object sender, System.EventArgs e)
    if (boReportDocument != null)
        boReportDocument.Close();
        boReportDocument.Dispose();
        GC.Collect();
// C# on form close
private void Page_Unload(object sender, EventArgs e)
        if (boReportDocument != null)
        { boReportDocument.Close();
            boReportDocument.Dispose();
            GC.Collect();
If closing and disposing does not help, is htis happening on your dev computer or after you move that app to another server?

ORA-1459 INVALID LENGTH FOR VARIABLE CHARACTER STR

HI Guys,
Developers in my team are facing this problem.
I thought this error is not related to database. IS it?\
Can you please provide me with any details on this error.
Thanks

ORA-01458: invalid length inside variable character string

We encountered a serious problem in production system where we were getting this ORA error.
The common search on google results into the following explaination.
Cause: An attempt was made to bind or define a variable character string with a buffer length less than the minimum requirement.
Action: Increase the buffer size or use a different type.
However on analysis we found that the error was because, the value that was being bound to bind variable was NULL.
This was a new finding for me.
Please share your experiences/views on this.

without any code and data examples this is impossible

ORA-1458: Invalid length inside variable character string

We have created a web application that read and write on an Oracle database with a ODBC connection.
I think that there isn't a code error because I get this error everytime in different phases of the application and because after some time I can be able to execute the operation that have caused the error.
Do you have any idea?
Thanks, Nunzio

Hi
I dont' remenber having this error before.
Mayba the ODBC is the bottleneck. It is possible that the ODBC driver couldn't manage so long string that your data is. Maybe you should transfrom the clob into varchar2 or long varchar.

ORA-24373

Hello.
I have a lot of SQL statements (like 2-3 Mio) - plain inserts, deletes and updates. In a previous post, I asked how to embed exceptions for the statements:
Re: exceptions for a small SQL script (now with optimization question)
Here is the solution and this is how my script looks like now (with only 7 statements in 3 blocks out of these millions of statements):
BEGIN
BEGIN
     DELETE ...
     COMMIT;
EXCEPTION
     WHEN OTHERS THEN
         dbms_output.put_line(sqlerrm);
        ROLLBACK;
        raise;
END;
BEGIN
    INSERT ...
    INSERT ...
    INSERT ...
    COMMIT;
EXCEPTION
     WHEN OTHERS THEN
        dbms_output.put_line(sqlerrm);
        ROLLBACK;
        raise;
END;
BEGIN
     INSERT ...
     UPDATE ...
     COMMIT;
EXCEPTION
     WHEN OTHERS THEN
       dbms_output.put_line(sqlerrm);
        ROLLBACK;
       raise;
END;
END;
/So it seems, that for oracle this is only one very big statement (the .sql file is over 1 GB big) and oracle tries at first to parse everything. In my case - obviously unsuccessful, because I received the ORA-24373: invalid length specified for statement. So my question is - what is the max length of a statement? Is there a work-around for this issue?
Thanks a lot!

Great, I found the solution by myself. Here's what I needed:
BEGIN
     DELETE ...
     COMMIT;
EXCEPTION
     WHEN OTHERS THEN
         dbms_output.put_line(sqlerrm);
        ROLLBACK;
        raise;
END;
BEGIN
    INSERT ...
    INSERT ...
    INSERT ...
    COMMIT;
EXCEPTION
     WHEN OTHERS THEN
        dbms_output.put_line(sqlerrm);
        ROLLBACK;
        raise;
END;
BEGIN
     INSERT ...
     UPDATE ...
     COMMIT;
EXCEPTION
     WHEN OTHERS THEN
       dbms_output.put_line(sqlerrm);
        ROLLBACK;
       raise;
END;
/My script will still be Gigabytes big and will work just fine. Get it?

"ORA-28267 Invalid NameSpace" with APEX 4.0.1 and WebLogic server

Hi all,
I have a page that has a simple query as Region Source. It all worked fine on Apex 3.2 with the iAS mod pl/sql gateway.
Query goes like this:
select servername, a.capture_name, a.status, a.source_database, a.captured_scn, a.applied_scn, b.state_changed_time, b.state
from DBA_CAPTURE@DBLNK_STRM_PADATARP a, V$STREAMS_CAPTURE@DBLNK_STRM_PADATARP b
where a.CAPTURE_NAME (+)= b.CAPTURE_NAME
(it reads out Oracle Streams status over a database link)
After migrating the page to Apex 4.0.1 and WebLogic (Oracle 11g SOA suite) frontend, the Apex page now gives the "ORA-28267 Invalid NameSpace" error for some strange reason.
Apex will now not validate the query in the edit region source page.
I think maybe the problem lies with the WebLogic setup, but exactly what it might be eludes me.
Anyone able to shed any light on this?
Regards,
-Haakon-

Must have to do with the java based Apex Listener in conjunction with WebLogic and the execution of queries over database links.
Workaround was to create a materialized view in Apex database and select from that instead.
