Enabling SQL Tracing for already connected session

Hi,
I've a requirement. i.e. my users are connected to db through schema making sessions( As multiple users are connected from single Schema). Now there are certian users which have to run batch jobs and I want to trace there SQL for tunning. I want to know how can I enable SQL tracing for specific user,session,id since it is difficult to trace exact user as multiple users are running the batch jobs.
I have a strategy to enable tracing at schema level. Can I do this while users are connected and running quries. As normally first we enable the tracing and then run the quries.
Kindly help me in working out this.

Abbasi

You didn't post your Oracle version, but maybe you have DBMS_MONITOR available to you.
Hope this helps!

How to connect to SQL Server from Forms 10g?

Hello all,
How do we connect to SQL Server database from Forms 10g?
In Oracle Metalink site they have suggested using Transparent Gateway for SQL Server as a solution.
But is there a way we can connect directly to SQL Server from Forms using an ODBC connection
without installing anything on the database server?
Pls help!
Regards,
Sam

Hello all,
I was able to connect to SQL Server from Oracle using Generic Connectivity (HSODBC).
Transparent gateway was not required.
Followed metalink note 109730.1
So, after I created a dblink to SQL Server, I created a synonym for the dblinked SQL Server table.
When I used the synonym as the table source in Oracle Forms, I got the following error while querying.
"ORA-02070 - ROWID is not supported in this context."
This is because Forms has an invisible ROWID field and when data is fetched from SQL Server table
no Rowid is fetched since SQL Server table doesn't have one.
Is there a way to overcome this issue or do we have populate the block manually using a SQL query ?
Pls suggest.
Regards,
Sam

Getting windows error during running the sql scripts from form 6i

Some sql scripts run internally in order to populate the result on forms screen after pressing the forms button but I am getting windows error during running the sql scripts from form 6i.
I am using forms 6i with patch 17 with Oracle 10G database on windows 2000 professional on same computer.
This application runs fine with 8i.

Calling SQL*Loader from Forms

Hi,
I was wondering if anyone has called SQL*Loader from Forms?
What I am wanting to do is use Oracle Forms as the interface where you can specify a file that you can import into the database and it will use a set control file. Push the import button and SQL*Loader does the rest.
Is using Java code to call SQL*Loader from Forms a viable option, or is there an easier way to achieve the desired outcome.
Any ideas or guidance will be much appreciated.
Thanks,
Scott.

Scott,
In forms, there's a HOST built-in command which is supposed to execute any o/s commands.
What you have to do is :
1. Bult up the string exacltly in the fashion which you will run in o/s
2. Call the HOST Built-in and pass in the string
Here's a example :
Declare
lOsCmd Varchar2(1000) := Null;
Begin
lOsCmd := 'sqlldr user-id=userid/passwd@connectStr '
|| ' control=c:\temp\abc.ctl log=c:\temp\abc.log '
|| ' bad = c:\temp\abc.log';
Host (lOsCmd, No_Screen);
End;

Enabling SQL Tracing for an instance

Hi,
I am aware that SQL_TRACE init parameter is deprecated :
Oracle® Database Upgrade Guide
10g Release 2 (10.2)
Part Number B14238-01
Initialization Parameters Deprecated in Release 10.2
SQL_TRACE
So I searched the recommended way of enabling sql tracing for an instance and I found :
Oracle® Database Performance Tuning Guide
10g Release 2 (10.2)
Part Number B14211-01
20.4.2 Step 2: Enabling the SQL Trace Facility
You can enable the SQL Trace facility for an instance by setting the value of the SQL_TRACE initialization parameter to TRUE in the initialization file.
Well, the Tuning guide should not mention deprecated parameter, should it?
Anyway, I found later that the recommended way is to use
exec DBMS_MONITOR.DATABASE_TRACE_ENABLEPlease update your tuning guide.
Cam on rat nieu ;-)

Laurent,
Sorry to post a reply after nearly 2 years :-)
But:
Does dbms_monitor.database_trace_enable() only trace existing sessions or does it also enable tracing for all new sessions?
I've been consulting the documentation and searching on the Internet but I can't determine this.
Cheers & thanks,
Colin

Execute sql file from forms

Hello, how is it possible to execute a sql file from forms without using sqlplus, because we have only the forms runtime on our pc.
We can't use forms_ddl because we have a very big sql script for creating a package.
Please help,
GJ

Strange, whenever I have installed forms I got sqlplus too without asking for it. If it is not installed, wouldn't your best bet be to install it ?

Run SQL*Loader from forms

Enable SQL Tracing for Session

Hi,
I know how to enable SQL tracing for a session created either through SQL*Plus or like similar tool, but I want to explore is there any way to can we enable sql tracing for a single session which is connected to database through an application.
ssome time for testing purpose we have a requirement to enable tracing for that user which run batch Job. Now that particular user gets connected to database through application and i want to enable tracing right at that moment. How can I accomplish it.
Regards,
Ababsi

If you don't want to identify database session you can try to create a logon trigger to enable tracing for all database sessions created by a specific Oracle user account. In the following example you need to replace UWCLASS with the Oracle user account for which you want to trace sessions:
CREATE OR REPLACE TRIGGER trace_trig
AFTER LOGON
ON DATABASE
DECLARE
sqlstr VARCHAR2(200) := 'ALTER SESSION SET EVENTS ''10046 TRACE NAME CONTEXT FOREVER, LEVEL 12''';
BEGIN
IF (USER = 'UWCLASS') THEN
execute immediate sqlstr;
END IF;
END trace_trig;
/Reference:
http://psoug.org/reference/system_trigger.html
If you want to identify database session you need to query V$SESSION to retrieve SID and SERIAL# of the session you want to trace and then you can use DBMS_MONITOR. See examples in http://www.oracle-base.com/articles/10g/SQLTrace10046TrcsessAndTkprof10g.php

Hi,
Thanks for your reply.
yes, I have include in when-button-pressed trigger as
AIC_PROC_AR_CCID_UPD;
Below is my procedure :-
CREATE OR REPLACE PROCEDURE AIC_PROC_AR_CCID_UPD(errbuf out Varchar2,
          retcode out Number ) is
VAR_BUF VARCHAR2(240);
Cursor C1 is
SELECT CONCATENATED_SEGMENTS ACCT,
SEGMENT5 SEG5
FROM AIC_GL_COA AGC
WHERE AGC.CODE_COMBINATION_ID IS NULL;
Rec1 C1%RowType;
BEGIN
FOR Rec1 IN C1 LOOP
     BEGIN
     UPDATE AIC_GL_COA A SET ( DESCRIPTION, CODE_COMBINATION_ID, SEGMENT5 )=
     ( SELECT FFVT.DESCRIPTION, GLA.CODE_COMBINATION_ID, GLA.SEGMENT5
     FROM GL_CODE_COMBINATIONS_KFV GLA,
     FND_FLEX_VALUES_TL FFVT,
     FND_FLEX_VALUES FFV

     AND FFV.FLEX_VALUE = REC1.SEG5
     AND FFV.FLEX_VALUE_ID = FFVT.FLEX_VALUE_ID
     AND FFV.FLEX_VALUE_SET_ID = 1002673 )
     WHERE A.SEGMENT5 = REC1.SEG5 ;
     EXCEPTION
     WHEN NO_DATA_FOUND THEN
     FND_FILE.PUT_LINE(FND_FILE.OUTPUT, 'NO RECORD UPDATE !!');
     END;
END LOOP;
COMMIT;
RETURN;
END;
However, when I try to compile it, error prompt :-
Error 306 at line 1, column 1
wrong number or types of arguments in call to 'AIC_PROC_AR_CCID_UPD'
Error 0 at line 1, column 1
statement ignored.
By the way, my form 6i is running at client site and connection to procedure in unix server. Will this is ok ?
Thanks

SQL Loader from Forms 10

Hello!
How can i call to SQL Loader from my application developed by Forms 10?

My application is doing something similar.
Given that the iAS server can read from the data source (where the flat file for the sqlldr to load), all you need is to write a shell script that is invoked from within the forms application (using the host command). The shell script (I use Perl) will do invoking the sqlldr and also other checks, etc
hope this helps

Calling SQL Loader from Forms 4.5 using HOST command in Win2000

One of my forms calls SQL Loader 7.3 using HOST command to load a csv file onto the database(Oracle 7.3) under Windows 2000 platform.
Only after sql loader finishes its operation the control should come to my form i.e. synchronous execution.
As of now its running asynchronously.
Is there any way to make it synchronous. If Not any other work arounds?
Environment Details
Forms [32 Bit] Version 4.5.10.6.0 (Production)
Windows 2000 Operating System
Oracle7 Release 7.3.2.3.2

Forms6i running on W2000, Rdbms 8.1.7
in Forms I added a button TEST,
Trigger when-button-pressed : host('test.bat') ;
in directory .......\frm I added file test.bat :
REM ===============
cd /d C:\........\ldr
pause
sqlldr parfile=test.par
pause
type test.log
pause
exit
REM ================
now, pressing TEST button opens DOS window, telling me what's going on, running sqlldr, finally going back to forms
Are you using NO_PROMPT or NO_SCREEN option of HOST command ?
Had a look at Forms 4.5 manuals, there is no mentioning of (a)synchronously operation in connection with HOST command.

Sending message from PL/SQL procedure to form

Hello Friends,
How can I send messages from PL/SQL procedure to Form ?
Ultimate target is catching progress of PL/SQL procedure from
form. I heard about DBMS_PIPe but not sure,.
Adi

Hello,
Yeah , I got the solution using DBMS_PIPE function,I
followed following steps.
1. Pipe is created. see below procedure.
create or replace procedure proc_testpipe as
     v_pipe_integer          integer;
     v_pipe_message          integer;
begin
     v_pipe_integer := DBMS_PIPE.Create_Pipe('adipipe');
     dbms_pipe.pack_message('Hello Adinath Kamode,Message
     from Pipe');
     v_pipe_message := dbms_Pipe.Send_message('adipipe');
     end;
end;
2. then I created one Function which will obtain message from
Pipe and
will return value to form.
create or replace function proc_callpipe return varchar2 as
v_msg          integer;
v_rem          integer;
v_message          varchar2(500);
begin
v_msg:=dbms_pipe.receive_message('adipipe');
dbms_pipe.unpack_message(v_message);
dbms_pipe.purge('adipipe');
v_rem := dbms_pipe.remove_pipe('adipipe');
return(v_message);
end;
3. Last I called this function from form.
Cheers .. !
Adi
