External Procedure RPC Error

In Oracle 8 for Solaris,
I can RUN "External procedure Call" ...
but When I Run "External procedure Call" in Oracle 8 for Linux
the message is ....
"unable to open RPC connection to external procedure agent"
The listener.ora and tnsnames.ora files, I have checked,
no problem!!
Where is the problem ? is OS problem ?
How to start RPC daemon in Linux ??.....
I use Redhat 5.2 .......
Thanks !

Dear Mark :
I have followed your method, but not work for Linux ....
I have succeeded for starting the external-procedure call by
"oracle for Solaris" , no problem ....
I think that "Linux RPC Daemon" is NOT running ...
how to Start it ?
I use Redhat 5.2 ....
Thanks !

External procedure call error in RAC

I met a strange problem today with Oracle RAC 10.2.0.4:
Situation I:
In the sequence of tnsnames.ora or TAF, put NodeA before NodeB, everything works well. Even if NodeA is down and only NodeB works.
Situation II:
If put NodeB before NodeA, strange things happened.
1) I can connect to via type2(tnsnames) or type4(url) via sqlplus, and I can also call my extproc in sqlplus.
2) If I call external procedure via API, whatever type2 or type4, it will report "ORA-06576: not a valid function or procedure name"
RAC should share anything on both nodes, why Situation I and Situation II have different behaviour? Can anyone help me? Thanks!

Thanks.
In fact, using the supplied makefile in $ORACLE_HOME/plsql/demo and MAKING SURE THAT THE .SO IS EXECUTABLE(!) works.

your listener.ora file has problem!
it should look similiar to:

please verify with net8 admin guide. you also need to set up tnsnames.ora correctly at client side.

Hi Sandy,
If you set EXTPROCS_DLLS=ANY in the listener and then restart the listener, does it fix the problem?

Please tell me to resolve this problem

Does not execl() and friends replace the current program with the one supplied as a parameter?
The upshot of this would be as you suggest, viz:
- Oracle call's your procedure (but doens't wait for a result due to the void return type?)
- your program executes its code (cd /tmp)
- it then replaces itself with *program
- *program terminates
Presumably, Oracle isn't expecting it to terminate but to continue waiting for subsequent requests.
I'd check out fork() and see if that offers more appropriate semantics.

Error Calling an external procedure

I'm calling an external procedure (provided by a third party).
When i invoke it from a client code, it functions.
When I invoke it from PL/SQL code, it gives the following error:
ORA-28576: lost RPC connection to external procedure agent.
The solution in the help file states it could be a timeout problem.
If so, what is the solution to the problem. (I cannot access the source of the DLL subroutine).

your listener.ora file has problem!
it should look similiar to:

Error calling external procedure on remote server

Hello
I have written an external procedure that runs correctly when it is on the same machine as the database from which I call it. (Windows XP Professional/Oracle 9.2)
When I try to call the procedure from a database on another machine (also Windows XP Professiona l/ Oracle 9.2) I get ORA - 28756 "lost RPC connection to external procedure agent" or ORA - 28758 "protocol error during callback from an external procedure". Using filemon I can see that the DLL is never searched for or called. The problem seems to lie in the communication between the two machines. When I observe network traffic the machines communicate on port 1521 (the listener) and then switch to the port that the listener returns. Shortly after that the connection is terminated with the above error reported in the PL/SQL routine.
The Oracle Administrator's Guide (9.2) states that "the agent must reside on the same computer as the application making the external procedure call." However there are several entries on the internet that show how to do what I am want to accomplish - I suspect I am making some small mistake.
Any help would be greatly appreciated!
Here is the listener on the machine with the DLL.

ORA-28575: unable to open RPC connection to external procedure agent

Hi everybody,
Could you please help me with this problem? I'm trying to configure Oracle XE 11g for external procedures, this because I have to access some procedures in a DLL made in Delphi 6.0, but even with the simplest of the dll I make, like a sum made in C, I can't get pass this error ORA-28575: unable to open RPC connection to external procedure agent.
This is my listener.ora:

(ADDRESS = (PROTOCOL = TCP)(HOST = myPC)(PORT = 1521))
DEFAULT_SERVICE_LISTENER = (XE)
and this is my tnsnames.ora:
XE =

(CONNECT_DATA =

(PRESENTATION = RO)
Do you know what could be wrong? I'm out of ideas and google search...
Also, is there any difference in a calling for a DLL made on VB and one made in Delphi??
Thanks and Regards,

Hello,
This error could appear due to issues with configuration of your listener, database or with extproc. First check that the permissions on extproc in your Oracle_home specified in your listener.ora file are valid:
Run the following ./extproc and it should display the banner.
If above is ok, then check for the domain name. One probable reason could be that if default_domain is set and that domain is not appended to the service name in tnsnames.ora, the connection fails.

Hi,
I guess, it is happening in connection point only. Other wise It will give another error "RPC lost connection".
I will give some tips.
1.".so" path should match with oracle library path. For this one, u can query ur system tables and verify.
2. When u create external procedure, be careful. Especially, when u give name of procedure and library. Pls. check this particular part.
Pls. let me know the progress. U can directly contact me through the mails.

ORA-28576 lost RPC connection to external procedure agent

Hello!
NT 4.0, O9i 9.0 and 9.2
Calling external DLL procedure produces the following error:
"ORA-28576 lost RPC connection to external procedure agent"
The external DLL is in the ORACLE_HOME/bin directory.
The same application works fine on 8.1.7 !
I didn't find any useful info in 9i docs (App. dev. fundamentals; Net guide...).
Is there any significant difference in EXTPROC feature between 8.1.7 and 9.x ?
Thanks for any useful info

I have the same problem using Windows kernel32.dll. It works fine with Oracle8 and Oracle8i on both Windows NT and Windows2000, but it does not work with Oracle9i on Windows2000. After long discussions, Oracle has admitted that it is a bug. If you have access to metalink then see TAR 2189019.995.

Getting "ORA-28576: lost RPC connection to external procedure agent" for R scripts.

Hello,
I am trying R integration with OBIEE. As part of this, I have created a simple R script for a scatter plot. Below is the R script
begin
sys.rqScriptCreate('randomRedDots',
                     'function()
                        res <- 1:10
                        plot(1:100, rnorm(100), pch=21, bg="red", cex=2)
                        res
end;
I am testing this script in SQL Developer by executing the below sql:
select image
from table(rqEval(NULL,
                  'PNG',
                  'randomRedDots')
During these tests, very often, I get ORA-28576 error when I run the SQL. The complete error is:
ORA-28576: lost RPC connection to external procedure agent
ORA-06512: at "RQSYS.RQEVALIMPL", line 77
ORA-06512: at "RQSYS.RQEVALIMPL", line 74
28576. 00000 - "lost RPC connection to external procedure agent"
*Cause:    A fatal error occurred in either an RPC network connection,
           the extproc agent, or the invoked 3GL after communication had
           been established successfully.
*Action:   First check the 3GL code you are invoking; the most likely
           cause of this error is abnormal termination of the
           invoked "C" routine. If this is not the case, check for
           network problems. Correct the problem if you find it. If all
           components appear to be normal but the problem persists, the
           problem could be an internal logic error in the RPC transfer
           code. Contact your customer support representative.
However, if I re-run the SQL, I do not get this message. This happens at random.
Any pointers to why this error occurs?
Thanks,
Abhishek

Abhishek,
Please look for a core file in $ORACLE_HOME/hs/log and look for errors in the call stack associated with the core file.
Examining the errors will help identify the cause of the intermittent ORA-29576 error.
Thank you,
Sherry

can anybody help me out on this?

remove the line break then if youre loading that in. Apologies, I didnt read the next line. The error is with the insert, if youre loading that up as a sql command file it wont run like that with the line break as it reads it as separate commands quick example.

ORA-06521: PL/SQL: Error mapping function with 10.1.0 external procedure

We have an external procedure running fine on 8.1.7 on VMS. After compiling and linking succesfully under 10.1.0, I get ORA-06521 PL/SQL: Error mapping function and ORA-06522: ERROR - vms_dlsym for file x, where x in the filename of the linked executable. Another external procedure that does not connect to the 10.1.0 database runs fine. What could be causing this error in Server 10.1.0 on VMS?
Thanks,
Dave

Here is the code to create the function:
CREATE OR REPLACE FUNCTION f1
(h_file_name IN VARCHAR2)
RETURN BINARY_INTEGER
IS EXTERNAL
LIBRARY l1
NAME "f1"
LANGUAGE C
WITH CONTEXT
PARAMETERS
(CONTEST,
h_file_name string);
Here is the beginning of the Pro*C:
int f1(epctx, h_file_name)
OCIExtProcContext *epctx;
char h_file_name[70];
char h_line_txt [251];
int lineno;
FILE *fptr;
/* register the connection context ... */
EXEC SQL REGISTER CONNECT USING :epctx;
The function loads a flat file into the database. It is probably not related but are unable to SQLPLUS/ or SQLLDR/ into the database from an OS autheniticated account (get ORA-12547: TNS:lost contact.) Thanks for taking the time to look at this. There aren't many people trying this on VMS, I'd bet.

Error using EXTERNAL PROCEDURES on UNIX

I'm having troubles to run external procedures on UNIX. I'm following the extern.c example that comes by default. It works very well on my NT enviornment, but not on Unix.
I compiled the share library on my solaris OS, and then I create the library, procedures,etc.
But when I try to run the procedure I received the following error:
ERROR at line 1:
