Does oracle log general errors

Dear experts,
I am using Oracle 11.2.0.3. I am researching on random ORA-00900:     invalid SQL statement error that we are seeing in production. Does oracle log such errors in alert.log or any tables? If not can we configure to log such errors?
Thanks.

Dont understand.... you are seeing ORA-00900 in production but don't know where to search this error? where do you see it?It is being logged from application in event log which I do not have access to. I wanted to check if oracle also logs such error some where.

  • Does Oracle log errors for me?

    Hi All,
    Quick question here:
    I am receiving the following error upon insert:
    Code: ORA-00904: invalid column name in DB Manager function: ExecuteSQL
    Does the database log which table had the wrong insert? This is happening in code that I don't have easy access to and would like to know of any logging feature that oracle may provide.
    Thanks,
    Rick

    Kindly advise.

    Sambhav.

    Hi Anuj,
    Thanks, i disabled the agreement validation, ran the file through. It worked.
    Also, tried to validate the XML instance with the XSD, and it threw no errors, so the payload conforms to the XSD, but will validate.
    Other thing being, this is an OAG-XML PO, so had the XSD, not the Guideline file.
    Regards,
    Sambhav.

  • Ichat can't connect to my AIM account, gives me the error "Cannot log in to AIM. General error. Try again." Please help!

    ichat can't connect to my AIM account, gives me the error "Cannot log in to AIM. General error. Try again." Please help!

    HI,
    Your specs say OS X 10.6.8 which would be iChat 5.x.x in Snow Leopard.
    This version by default tries to login in to the AIM server called login.oscar.aol.com on port 5190 using the TCP protocol.
    An internet connection is made up of 65535 of these so called ports (more like TV stations)
    Most routers have ports up to port 1024 which means some of the iChat Login Ports are above this.
    Two ways to Solve this.
    1) Change the Login port iChat uses
    2) Change the way the router opens ports.
    For 1) go to iChat Menu > Preferences > Accounts
    Highlight/select the AIM account.
    In the Info Tab deselect the "Enable this Account" to make sure you are Logged out.
    In the Server Settings change the Port to 443
    You can decide not to use SSL as well if you wish  (the server name automatically loses the leading "s")
    For 2) log in to the routers set up pages and make sure it is doing UPnP
    This allows the computers  to tell the router which ports to open. It also allows multiple devices to use the same ports.
    For iChat this allows it to Screen Share as this happens on an unlisted random port.
    Opps  forgot a couple of things.
    If you are using an APple ID registed at Apple ending in @mac.com @me.com or @iCloud.com then the passowrd at Apple has to be 16 characters or less to work with the AIM servers.
    Additionally the iCloud issued @me.com and @iCloud.com one require you to use iChat 6 in Lion or Messages in Mountian Lion due to changes Apple made to the security of letting AIM "read" the passwords.

  • I get unexpectedly logged out from my mail box and and recieve the following message: "The custom error module does not recognize this error."

    I am repeatedly and unexpectedly logged-out from my mail box when working on a document. It frequently happens when I choose Send or Save, but it could happen any time. The file that I worked on disappears completely. Before, the file could be found in the draft box or some other place categorized as Auto Recovery. Now, instead, I get the following message: "The custom error module does not recognize this error." I am working at home, connected to a university server. The same problem appears with both of my computers, which are connected by a router. I have a MacBook Pro and am working with Firefox 6.0.2. I have a wireless broadband connection with Internet. AirPort is connected to Lindstrom and has IP address 192.168.0.198. Router: D-Link Model DIR-635. Modem: ZyXEL Model No. 660H D Triple Play Modem.

    Hi Phil,
    Generally, when a user sends an incoming request to an Exchange 2010 Client Access server using Outlook Web App and the user’s mailbox is on an Exchange 2010 mailbox in a different Active Directory site,
    Exchange 2010 determines whether the Client Access server has the
    ExternalURL property set in that Active Directory site. If it is and the cross-site silent redirection has been enabled, the user will be automatically redirected to the specified URL.
    Thus, please make sure the External URL property is set properly in your environment. And also
    disable the WindowsAuthentication for OWA VD to have a try. If the issue persists, please try the following KB to reset the Outlook Web Access-related virtual directories:
    http://support.microsoft.com/kb/941201
    Thanks,
    Winnie Liang
    TechNet Community Support
    Sorry for the late reply.  Yes, the ExternalURL is set; otherwise, it wouldn't work at all.  98% of the time everything is fine.
    My issue described a problem that appears only during session timeouts.  I've pretty much verified that this is the case; Exchange 2010 does not appropriately handle the timeouts sometimes when using cross-site redirection.

  • How does oracle suggest the archive log

    Hi All,
    My question is about user managed backup and recovery.
    For User managed hot database refreshes.
    We  create a new controlfile and do cancel based recovery.
    How does oracle suggest the next archive to apply when we do "recover database using backup controlfile until cancel;"
    I mean we created a new control file ..rt.
    where is the information about the archivelogs stored.
    Thanks,
    Silver

    In the controlfile.
    The "using backup controlfile" means using a backed up controlfile, and you want to fool Oracle into thinking a point in time recovery will happen so don't use what would be the controlfiles current scn time to automatically say the recovery is complete.  If you have created a new controlfile, all it can know about is where the logs should be and compare to what log sequences the datafile headers have.  So it uses the init.ora parameters and what the data file headers have in them to figure it out. http://asktom.oracle.com/pls/asktom/f?p=100:11:0::::P11_QUESTION_ID:3151992035532#36651366990046
    If you backup controlfile to trace you can see log files that have the incarnation history.  See "Recovering Through a RESETLOGS with a Created Control File"  in Performing User-Managed Recovery: Advanced Scenarios

  • ORACLE LOG ERRORS - Bug in oracle??

    Hi,
    we are using oracle log errors to capture oversized err records for varchar2 type fields. Sql is something like:
    INSERT INTO abc (col1,col2) VALUES ('asdsass','weqwewqee') LOG ERRORS INTO abc_err('1') REJECT LIMIT UNLIMITED;
    But, data captured in abc table is trimmed data. Right spaces present in source are being trimmed by oracle while capturing this error table. I have the following queries:
    -Has anyone else experienced this type of behavior?
    -Is it a bug in oracle log errors functionallity??
    -Is there any workaround to use oracle log errors functionality to catch untrimmed data?

  • General error when accessing blob from oracle

    Hi
    I have successfully uploaded and saved images into oracle(8.1.5) table DATA_TYPE(dtid number, iconname varchar2(30), icon blob). When I try to retrieve icon from the database, I get "javax.servlet.ServletException: General error" at:
    PreparedStatement pstmt = myConnection.prepareStatement(mySQL);
    My code looks like this:
    imgModifyDataType.jsp
    <%
    ResultSet myResultSet = null;
    Statement myStatement = null;
    Connection myConnection = null;
    Class.forName("sun.jdbc.odbc.JdbcOdbcDriver").newInstance();

    String iconName;
    String pDTID = request.getParameter("dtid");
    String mySQL = "Select iconname, icon from data_types where dtid=?";
    //Following statement throws general error exception
    PreparedStatement pstmt = myConnection.prepareStatement(mySQL);

    One more thing. The error occurs only when I try to execute query retrieving blob data. The same set of statements works fine for simple text or numbers.
    Please help

    When you read a BLOB with ORACLE,
    you have to lock the corresponding row.
    This means that...
    - the connection must not be in "AUTO COMMIT" mode
    - you have to do a "SELECT ... FOR UPDATE"

    Hi,
    For the first time today, I've been having problems connecting to AIM using Messages. I get the "Messages can't communicate with the account "AIM." Cannot log in to AIM. General error. Try again." error. I looked at the forums here and I tried deleting my account, restarting my computer, reinstalling the account but to no avail. I've been using messages and mountain lion for a few weeks and never had a problem with connecting to AIM until now. Any help is greatly appreciated!

    uncheck SSL in server settings....done deal.  Funny part is I was having the same problem...went to genius bar...they couldnt figure it out...told me to call apple support.  Did that...they told me to re install software after an hour of trying to figure it out...that didnt work either.
    amazing the info you can get thru forums.!

I click ok, then another window opens saying, out of memory. my project opens, but only one sequence opens. the others have been edited more. plus The main video will not open. what am I doing wrong?

    QuickTime player plays your mp4 files. Because it's a playback codec (and more recently, an aquisition codec). It is not an editing codec. Why? Like MPEG2 it uses a Long GOP format.
    What's a Long GOP codec? Simple explanation. It is a method of storing lots of video in a small space. It does this by throwing away "redundant" information. Frame 1 is a complete image, as is frame 15, 30, 45 etc. those in between only contain information on what's different or predict what it might be (Oooh artifacting). Think of someone standing in front of a plain colored wall, waving their arm. The difference is the arm movement. Everything else is more or less the same as in frame 1.
    But you want to make a cut on frame 8. Wait. Frame 8 can't exist without information from frame 1. Frame 8 needs to be independent so you can make that cut. That can only happen if you transcode the footage so that every frame is independent. Because you want to cut right there and not kind of there. Of course, trancoding to an editable format turns the couple of gigs of footage you shot into considerably more.
    So far, you have been lucky. You got away with editing a few simple cuts and probably had to render. But, if you choose your editing codec wisely and set FCP up properly, you won't have to render at all. When your editing gets more complex, using layers and compositing, grit your teeth and wait or ask whatever god you pray to for mercy.
    Search terms for this forum: MPEG 4 (or MP4) is not an editing codec. H.264 is not an editing codec. Why don't my mp3 audio files work in FCP?
    Things to Google: Long GOP format. (If you want the techie explanation.)

  • How does Oracle hanlde I/O error

    I've setup an Oracle RAC using four Linux RH hosts connected with fiber channel to a DS4700 disk array.
    In case of a failover between the FC paths it could happen that a disk I/O request return error. How does Oracle handle that, will Oracle retry the error ?

    There are several possibilities to stripe a tablespace.
    You can create
    a) an ORACLE Tablespace with several datafiles
    b) an OS mountpoint which has striped several disks
    If you've an existing tablespace and want to stripe this tablespace with ORACLE than you can create an additional tablespace wtih several datafiles which are on different disks. After this you can use
    - imp/exp
    - CTAS
    - online redifinition
    to copy the tables to the tablespace.
    You should also consider that you've a less safe system if you have several disks which are not mirrored or on a RAID 5 system.

  • General Error when Doing Export

    I'm getting a "General Error" when exporting a sequence, both as a reference QuickTime and as a self-contained QuickTime file. The process goes along until a certain percentage (73%), and then it bails, and gives this not-very-specific "General Error" message.
    I've gone into the timeline and figured what I think is 73% of the timeline, and taken a look at the media at that point, which happens to be a Motion project brought into FCP as a .mov. I've pulled out the Motion project files, re-exported it out of Motion, and put the project back in.
    I've also repaired permissions, run Disk Warrior, gone from 10.4.9 > 10.4.10, and up'd my QuickTime version to 7.2.0 (Pro).
    I'm using FCP 5.1.4, with Motion 2.1.2
    I'm not sure what else to try, or what else to consider.

    Hi,
    I am also having the same "General Error" message when i am trying to export a sequence that have the setting of HDV720p30 to a QT movie using export to Quicktime Movie>using the Current Settings on the Export tab.
    This project is a concert i shot with 4 cameras. I have 4 sequences for the different camera angles and since there are three tapes, i had to line them together on each of their sequence and export them to be a self contained QT movie. I am using the export to Quicktime after right clicking on the sequence.
    After that i was going to import them onto FCP Project and then multiclip edit the concert. I just love Multiclip editing.
    I am able to export 1 of the 4 angles have and ran into this General Errorr Message.
    I have tried making a new sequence, i have also tried using compressor but did not have the patience of waiting 10 hours to export the movie and also i didn't want to see the general error message at the end of the export so i came to ask any FCP Guru out there that can guide me. thanks.

  • Officejet 6500 wireless E709n general error 0x6100004c, what does this mean?

    Been getting general error 0X6100004C many times now when powering up the printer. Have tried powering off printer and powering back up, still same result. Seems only way to clear error is to remove all cartridges from printer and power it off then back on without the cartridges. The printer then says no cartridges in printer, but after powering printer off and re-installing cartridges, error message clears. Any ideas?  

    This article should help resolve the error you are getting:
