Error deploying external table on database 11.1.0.6

While deploying external table, I am getting the following error, I am using database ver. 11.1.0.6, has anybody in past encountered this problem, any help will be greatly appreciated.
ORA-00604: error occurred at recursive SQL level 1
ORA-00001: unique constraint (SYS.I_OBJ1) violated
Thanks,
Ravi

Hi Ravi
Sounds like the instance's data dictionary is screwed up, I would try using a different database instance.
Cheers

Error:loading from external table to database table

hi,
Following error comes while inserting data from external to new_ext table
what might be the reason??

Error in Deploying External Table

Hi,
I am using OWB 10.2g version to create a database. While deploying the external table, I got the following message:
"TSS_15MIN_EX ErrMsgKey VLD-0180: A default location is required for external tables."
Could you help me in solving this issue?
Thanks,
Vipul

Hi Sutirtha,
I tried to double click on the external table (in the Control Center) but nothing happens. I could only right click and select the only highlighted "Configure" option. In the configure option, only the following file locations turn up that all uses default file location:
Bad File Location
Discard file location
Log file location
To give you a head start, It is the first time that we are deploying these tables as we are in a process of migrating the server to a different machine. In our current server, all these external tables are probably in C:\ or directed in C:\ but we have changed the path to D:\ in the new server. Do you think it has to do something while we import the metadata?
Thanks,
Vipul

Met error when deploy external table

I create a file location on one machine and target table on another.
when i deploy a map there's error. the error message like the following:
oracle.wh.repos.sdk.exceptions.WBException
oracle.wh.repos.sdk.exceptions.WBException
at oracle.wh.ui.runtime.WHRuntimeProgress.notifyInternalError(WHRuntimeProgress.java:177)
at oracle.wh.ui.runtime.WHRuntimeDeployThread.run(WHRuntimeDeployThread.java:128)
\nCMPException 消息和堆栈跟踪:\njava.lang.NullPointerException
at oracle.wh.ui.runtime.WHRuntimeDeployThread.run(WHRuntimeDeployThread.java:49)
how can i solve this problem?
thank you!!

Essentially you will need deploy the following:
- The target objects
- The connectors between the targets and sources
- the mappings
Are you using a file in this case in the mapping, or are you using an external table?
I'm a bit worried about the nullpointer exeption. Is there a way you can send me the metadata export of the repository? You can use [email protected] for that.

Error in external table

Suppose we have a file containing city populations in our /tmp directory and we wish to access this data from within our database.
Tokyo,Japan,33600000
Seoul,South Korea,23400000
Mexico City,Mexico,22400000
New York,USA,21900000
Bombay,India,21600000
Delhi,India,21500000
Sao Paulo,Brazil,20600000
Los Angeles,USA,18000000
Shanghai,China,17500000O
saka,Japan,16700000
First, we create a DIRECTORY object which will reference the /tmp directory in our file system.
CREATE OR REPLACE DIRECTORY tmp_dir AS '/tmp';
Directory created
Now, we create an external table by specifying the name of the file we wish to query and the directory where it can be located. We will rely on the default values of comma for a field separator and new line as the record delimiter, to describe our data.
CREATE TABLE pop_ext ( city VARCHAR2(30),
country VARCHAR2(30),
population NUMBER)
ORGANIZATION EXTERNAL
(DEFAULT DIRECTORY tmp_dir
LOCATION('pop.txt'));
Table created.
But when run the below query
SELECT * FROM pop_ext;
I am getting following error

Deploying external tables with ombplus

Hi,
we try to deploy our projects with ombplus. The script breaks at the first external table when we do:
OMBCREATE TRANSIENT DEPLOYMENT_ACTION_PLAN 'SVR_ET'
foreach ext_tab [OMBLIST EXTERNAL_TABLES] {
set exttab_path [concat $svr_modul$ext_tab]
OMBALTER DEPLOYMENT_ACTION_PLAN 'SVR_ET' \
ADD ACTION '$ext_tab' SET PROPERTIES (OPERATION) VALUES ('CREATE') \
SET REFERENCE EXTERNAL_TABLE '$exttab_path'}
OMBDEPLOY DEPLOYMENT_ACTION_PLAN 'SVR_ET'
There is one external table that give an "VLD-0917" - error details are:
java.lang.NullPointerException.
Beforehand we did the Connectors with such a loop.
Any ideas?
Michael

Hi Michael,
Try to make it simple first time without a loop. When you have that fixed you try to do it with a loop.
The example below, witout a loop, works for me.
/JZ

KUP-01005 error in external table definition

Hello,
I'm facing an issue that I found it has been rose in the past but that never had an answer.
I'm using an external table to load a file on the database.
This file format is CSV (actually using ";" as delimiter) and it has header and trailer records that has the same format of data records, but contain field names in it.
E.g.:
FIELD_NAME1;FIELD_NAME2;...
I want to discard this records (for the header is easy, I can use SKIP 1 parameter) and the way I was trying to do this was using the following condition:
LOAD WHEN ( FIELD_NAME1 != "FIELD_NAME1" )
The problem arises when a record has the first field empty (hence NULL): the record is discarded.
Therefore I tried modifing the condition in this way:
LOAD WHEN ( ( FIELD_NAME1 != "FIELD_NAME1" ) OR ( ( FIELD_NAME1 = NULL ) )
but in this case I get the following error:
KUP-01005 : syntax error : found "null": expecting on of "blanks, double-quoted-string, hexprefix, identifier, single-quoted-string"
I've doublechecked Oracle reference and the NULL keyword is admitted - morover it is stated that a NULL value can be tested only against NULL value, otherwise the comparison returns false.
Can anyone help me solving this issue? Is it a bug in SQLLOADER Driver used by External Tables or an error in Oracle Reference?
Regards

It's an other option that I've already tried, but it doesn't work - and it is correct because in External Table statement I've specified to trim fields (LRTRIM), so there's no fields containing blanks (they're simply empty).
However, my main concern is that I tried to use a statement that should be correct - according to Oracle reference.
Instead I get an error regarding the syntax of the statement...
I think that I can workaround this problem - but it is a workaround, not a real solution... :-|

OBIEE Error while importing table from database

Hi
I am getting the following error when i am trying to import table from database.
[nQSError: 16001]ODBC error state: IM004 code:0 message:
[Microsoft][ODBC Driver Manager] Driver`s SQLAllocHandle on SQL_HANDLE_ENV failed.
Any idea y such error.
Thanks and Regards,

Looks like an error in the ODBC driver, not OBIEE as such.
Have you tried googling it?
Can you post details about your OS and DB.

If you have oracle metalink support then refer to Note:150737.1. If no support, i can paste it send to your email id.

Setting reject_limit error in external tables

I am setting the reject_limit for an external table but it is giving this error.
My access data in csv i am importing into oracle using external tables.
Please suggest how i can set the reject limit
thnak you

Remove the "SET" keyword.

ORA-06502 error with external table having long records

I'm getting a strange error with the oci driver that I don't get with the thin driver.
The basic situation is that we using external tables and both the oci and thin drivers have been working until we tested with a table that had longer records than the previous tables. The new table has 1800 byte records.
The thin driver still works fine with the new table. However, the oci driver generates the following error with the new table:
ORA-06502: PL/SQL: numeric or value error: character string buffer too small
I suspect that with oci driver the oci DLLs are reading the external file and the DLLs can't handle the longer record length.
Particulars
- Oracle DB Server is 10.2.0.1 on SunOS 5.9
- OCI Instant Client instantclient_10_2 on Windows XP
- OCI client code from DB server installation running on DB server
- Works with thin driver from Windows XP and on DB server machine for all record lengths
- Works with both OCI drivers for records < 1800 bytes (don't know actual limit)
- Fails with both OCI drivers for records = 1800 bytes.
Does anyone out there have any thoughts.
Thanks in advance.

Your access parameters are in the wrong order. External tables are a bit fussy like that. Refer to the access_parameters section in the Utilities manual and follow the order there. From memory it will go something like this:
RECORDS DELIMITED...
LOG/BAD/DISCARDFILE...
FIELDS TERMINATED...LDRTRIM
MISSING FIELD VALUES...
fields...

Error accessing External Table.

Hi All,
I am using external table for importing data. In that excel sheet certain fields are not mandatory. Whenever I try to import data from such excel sheets it is unable to refer those columns which don't have data in all fields. What shall i do, so that the external table will refer to all columns irrespective of whether its having data in all fields are not??
Please help me out.
Any help appreciated.
Venky

I think you have some problem with no of columns in your table as well no of columns in your excel sheet. Please paste the table description and excel sheet format here.
Cheers

Error while updating table in database.

Hi,
While updating a table I came across following error-
ORA-01552: cannot use system rollback segment for non-system tablespace 'USERS'
I have following undo parameters set in my parameter file-
undo_management=auto
undo_tablespace=UNDOTBS1
If I have seperate undo tablespace then why Oracle is trying to use System undo segments?
Thanks,

Let's assume your settings are correct. However the error means you don't have an UNDO tablespace available. It could be because your tablespace doesn't exist, or you think you have started up your instance with this initialization parameter file.
You should make sure you have your undo tablespace attached to your database, and you are using your correct initialization file.
Have you edited this parameter in your pfile? Or have you configured this parameter in you spfile?
Issue a query against v$rollname, you should see something simmilar to this:
SQL> SELECT * FROM V$ROLLNAME;
USN NAME
0 SYSTEM
1 _SYSSMU1$
2 _SYSSMU2$
3 _SYSSMU3$
4 _SYSSMU4$
5 _SYSSMU5$
6 _SYSSMU6$
7 _SYSSMU7$
8 _SYSSMU8$
9 _SYSSMU9$
10 _SYSSMU10$
If you can't then definitely you are not starting up your database with undo segments.

Reject the footer using the external table

Hi,
I have a flat file with fixed length which have a header and a footer.
My file is something like this:
HADF.TXT0309
D12345ABCD
D22345ABCD
FOOTERHJ
I want to create an external table based on that file, but
I don't want to have the header and the footer in my table. To eliminate the header I used skip 1, but I don't know how to eliminate the footer.
Any example and suggestions will be appreciated
Thank you for your time and consideration
Catalin

Hi,
This problem may be due to several reasons. I am aware of few reasons.
1)Have you deployed the external table first?
2) If you do not have your data base client and server running in the same machine, you should place the csv file in the database server machine's 'c:\CSV' folder in order to create the external table through database. Then do a select count(*) statement.
3)Another reason may be as gerardnico said the file name you refered may be wrong.
I don't know your requirement. If you could create the external table succefully and if you get value for the select count(*) from <external_table_name>, then try to import the external table into the Design Center and map it with the Table you need.
If you are doing it purely with OWB then,
Do you have the file Export_WithHeaders.csv in the Server machine's 'c:\CSV_FILE' folder?
Because while importing the metadata of the CSV file the OWB will point to your local machine's 'c:\CSV_FILE' that is why your Validation and Deployment is success without errors.
But while executing the map it will take the data from Server machine. It will search for the Location 'c:\CSV_FILE' in the server machine and will look for the file Export_WithHeaders.csv there. So create athe same folder setup which you have in your client machine and run this again.
Try this if you do not get any better answers in this thread
