Form - Remote DB - Link - Synonym - ORA-00980: synonym translation invalid

All,
I have created a PUBLIC LINK AND SYNONYM on a table in a remote DB using the Navigator/Wizard. I then tried to create a FORM using the Wizard. In the Wizard I press enter to FINISH and I receive the error listed below.
Note I have read and read and re-read all info available to me on the subject. Some posts on MetaLink and these forums suggested that the Link and Synonym made Public - they are as they live in the Public Schema. Another doc stated the "Returning" statement was the problem.
I have tested this in SQLPLus and it works fine.
What is the is problem with this and how do I fix it?????
Thanks,
Bill G...

Yeah, it is pretty simple really. Metalink note 174618.1 covers it. The note is for Rel1, but the same works with Rel2.
Cut and paste doesnt work well here, but if you cant access the note, I can reformat it and paste it in here.

  • ORA-00980 Synonym Translation Error caused by WebUtil?

    I have setup WebUtil and applied some CLIENT_TEXT_IO code to a form. Everything worked perfectly running through 9iDS so I configured 9iAS to do the same.
    When running the form through 9iAS I am getting the ORA-00980 error about synonym translation. The same database instance was used so so webutil_db shouldn't be the problem but I cannot see how this error could be related to WebUtil - anyone have any ideas.
    The CLIENT_TEXT_IO code still works even though this error is reported.

    Since you are on 10g did you try flashback table feature - http://tonguc.wordpress.com/2007/01/01/oracle-10g-flashback-versions-query-drop-table-and-recyclebin-management/
    FLASHBACK TABLE <tabname> TO BEFORE DROP;

    Unfortunately the way your XML Schema are designed I do not think XML DB is going to be able to handle them. The problem is the substituion group for vsData. Basically it defines a very flat structure which will require a table with more than 1000 columns to persist. Since the structure is very flat we cannot use the technique of pushing sections of the structure into out-of-line tables to store it, which is the normal workaround.
    This looks to me like a case of the classic mistake of modeling a Java Object structure directly into XML. In general this makes no sense. There is no common information between all of the different elements of the substition group or the vsData type, so there is no point in having all the members of the substition grouip descend from a single abstract type. You could just as easily model your XML Structure as a choice of any of the elements defined in the substition group. If new elements need to be introduced this could be done using extension of the existing complexType with new choices.
    The advantage of this approach is that you can push each of the possible chocies into a seperate table, and avoid the 1000 column limit..
    Sorry for the bad news, hope you have flexibility to re-architect the XML Schema. Note that this should not affect the instance documents

  • Has anyone else seen ORA-00980 synonym errors when using XMLConcat?

    Hi,
    Using 10.2.0.2 ( as shown by select * from v$instance), I get an ORA-00980 "Synonym translation is no longer valid" message.
    This occurs for any attempt to use XMLConcat, for a simple example:
    SELECT XMLConcat(XMLElement("first", 'Steve'),
    XMLElement("last", 'Jones'))
    AS "RESULT"
    FROM dual;
    I'm guessing that there is/was a problem with an upgrade since I've found a few vague references to a bug fixed in 9.2 that seems to point in that direction.
    Our DBA team is looking into it, but it would be interesting to hear if other developers hit the same problem and if there was a relatively easy fix.
    Thanks!

    SQL> conn / as sysdba
    SQL> @catnoqm
    SQL> @catqmTry to fix it first though manually. The upgrade probably went wrong somehow...

    How do I uninstall XML DB ? How do I re-install XML DB ?
    Posted: Sep 11, 2006 10:28 PM    mdrake in response to: mdrake    
    To uninstall XML DB run the sql script $ORACLE_HOME/rdbms/admin/catnoqm.
    Note that running this script will
    1. DELETE ALL INFORMATION STORED IN THE ORACLE XML DB REPOSITORY AND XDB DATABASE SCHEMA
    2. PERMANENTLY INVALIDATE ANY XMLTYPE TABLES OR COLUMNS THAT ARE ASSOCIATED WITH A REGISTERED XML SCHEMA.
       IF THE XDB USER IS DROPPED THERE IS NO WAY TO RECOVER THE DATA IN THESE XMLTYPE TABLES OR COLUMNS.
    Please do not uninstall XML DB in a production database without explicit instructions from Oracle Support to do so.
    To re-install XDB, after running catnoqm.sql, stop and restart the instance and then run catqm as described in the previous post. Backup your database first via RMAN...

  • ORA-00980 error when clicking schema's and synonyms tab.

    We just moved our DEV database to a 64bit box and now when going into OEM and clicking on any of the schema's we get ORA-00980 synonym translation is no longer valid. Clicking Ok will get us through but then clicking on synonyms tab we get the same error and no information is in the right frame. SQL plus and Toad are working fine connecting to the same database.

  • SQL Developer BUG - ORA-00980 Synonym Translation No Longer Valid

    We have a read only database of our Production and when I try to access any data using the SQL Developer, I'm getting the following Error.
    Error at Command Line:1 Column:14
    Error report:
    SQL Error: ORA-00980: synonym translation is no longer valid
    If I access the same from SQL Plus, Toad or SQL Station, It works fine. Seems some error in SQL Developer.
    Any one with Ideas or suggestions.

    we have DB cloned from Prod everynight and is available for us on readonly access. No read /write privs to any user including DBA.
    I think the DB is opened with ALTER DATABASE OPEN READ ONLY;
    Also to mention, all the tables in the db can be accessible only by read only user who was given select permission on synonyms.

  • Ora-00980 creating mv over db link

    Hi,
    I need some help traking down a pesky ora-00980 syn tranlation no longer valid. Here is my situation. I have a view foo
    created in schema A that access data over a db link defined in schema A. User A can access data just fine. User A has granted select on the view to user B. User B can select data from the view just fine.
    select * from a.foo ;
    ...lots of data
    User B sees data...no synonym is involved.
    Now user B tries to create a mv
    create materialized view bar as select * from a.foo;
    throws ora-00980
    User A can create the same MV just fine.
    Any suggestions? 10.2.0.4.0
    Steve

    Hi,
    I suppose you are getting a below problem.
    If you have a table in schema A of remote database.
    Synonym exist in schema B of local database.
    Synonym or when you try to exist this synonym from any other schema or database through pl/sql you would get ora-980 (ie. third level resolution is not possible through PL/sql).
    Am not sure whether this would hold true for materialized view or not.
    As a test case,
    Create a synonym in schema B pointing directly to schema A of remote database (instead of via schema A of local database). Now try to create a materialized view.
    But before that make sure schema B has a direct access to synonym of A (without any roles)
    Regards

  • Form based on a synonym

    Hi,
    A simple question : is it possible to create a form based on a synonym? (public, private, no matter)?
    Suppose I want to deploy an application within a schema where all the synonyms (with the same names) are pointing to the real schema.
    Also, something is telling me that it is not possible because when I create a form region based on table, the lov is only presenting the "real" tables and views.
    The last question, if not possible, why isn't it? Many customers are using FORMS with this architecture, it will be a step more to bring them to APEX.
    Thank a lot, Bruno-Pierre

    Do you suggest anything to get around this? As I mentionned, many customers use the generic schema with synonyms approach so we'll have to be creative!
    I could create in the generic schema all the views used by the application (the synonym list). A lot of inconvenients but working...

    This is Sateesh, presently working on Designer migration project from Designer 2000 V1.3.2 to Designer 10g with headstart.I successfully completed the migration of repository from 1.3.2 to 6i and also migrated the headstart to 6i using simple upgrade method.After this i successfully migrated the repository from 6i to 10g and I compiled all the libraries using forms10g and then i generated all the 10g forms through designer.then 10g forms and libraries are deployed in Oracle Application Server and then we are trying to access the application then we are getting the messsage for most of the forms, i.e FRM-40735:PRE-FORM trigger raised unhandled expception ORA-06508. Can you please help me out in this regard.
    Regards
    K.Sateesh Kumar

    Yes,
    that's right. FRM-40735 is a generic error message generated in case of form failure.
    This may be as a result of failure while calling sub-programs in a form or any other problem.
    For my case I had a call to a built in Package for which the user didnt have the privileges to execute that package.
    So how did I find out?
    EXCEPTION
    WHEN OTHERS THEN
    MESSAGE('SQLERRM: ' || SQLERRM);
    exception handling does the trick. I got the real error that was causing the problem.
    Error was: SQLERRM: xxx package does not exist. This made me think in the lines of either privileges or synonym problem. I found out that the user in the db doent have the execution privileges.
    GRANT ALL ON xxxpackage TO xxxuser;
    This is a nice forum. I love it and thanks to everyone.

  • Invalid synonym translation error

    Hi,
    I'm runnng Oracle 11.1.0.6 and I get the alert below on and intermittent basis:
    ORA 600 [kzxccparentread-8] [kzxccparentread-8] [980] [ORA-00980: synonym translation is no longer valid ] [] [] [] [] []
    Should I drop all "dangling" synonyms?

    You can use the following SQL to identify invalid synonyms.
    select owner,object_name from dba_objects where object_type = 'SYNONYM' and status = 'INVALID' and owner not in ('SYS','SYSTEM');
    You can use thie statement to make the script to create drop synonym.
