Function sys_context('USERENV','CLIENT_IDENTIFIER') Returns ANONYMOUS

our application codes has custom fine grain access control that looks for certain id's such as the userid and machine identifier. some of the codes rely on this sys_context('USERENV','CLIENT_IDENTIFIER') function to compare it's return result to some custom account reference table. one of the server machine that we recently use for testing purpose of new version for Oracle Reports is returning this ANONYMOUS result when the sys_context('USERENV','CLIENT_IDENTIFIER') is queried. this cause issue to our application.
normally, the sys_context('USERENV','CLIENT_IDENTIFIER') returns a null value when it can't recognize of find. how do i resolved it on the server to return the correct result? is there any config file that i should look into? please advise.
our test server machine is running on a Microsoft Windows XP [Version 5.1.2600].
thanks,
warren

SYS_CONTEXT('userenv','LANG') returns the Oracle short language name/abbreviation, this id may or may not correspond to the ISO language code.
Table A-1 http://download-west.oracle.com/docs/cd/B19306_01/server.102/b14225/applocaledata.htm#g679875" in the Globalization Support guide lists all the Oracle language abbreviations.
To obtain the ISO code, you can try calling the UTL_I18N.MAP_LOCALE_TO_ISO function( ), which is available in 10g.

We have 10g and 9i DBs. We should be able to know to which machine user is connected.
Thank you.
On 9i I tested :
SQL> select SYS_CONTEXT('USERENV','hostname') from dual;
select SYS_CONTEXT('USERENV','hostname') from dual
ERREUR à la ligne 1 :
ORA-02003: invalid USERENV parameter

Hi GURUS,
I m new to oracle here i created a table in oracle 10g(10.1.0.2.0) named

Now i want to remove this 'default' keyword in created_at & modified_at fieldsYou can't have the default functionality without the "DEFAULT" keyword.
Are you saying that you no longer want a default value? That's the same as saying DEFAULT NULL, and you can change the table like this:
ALTER TABLE iv_master
MODIFY       ( created_at     DEFAULT NULL
          , modified_at     DEFAULT NULL
          );Edited by: Frank Kulash on Feb 17, 2010 12:59 PM
Changed ALTER TABLE example to modify both columns.

SELECT SYS_CONTEXT ('userenv', 'ip_address') FROM dual;

I am using the following query
SELECT SYS_CONTEXT ('userenv', 'ip_address') FROM DUAL:
and the retuned row is blank.
Any Idea why?

SELECT SYS_CONTEXT ('userenv', 'ip_address') FROM dual
will return the IP address of the client of the current session. If the current session is connected to a local database (i.e. not using SQL*NET), then this query appears to return NULL.
SELECT SYS_CONTEXT ('userenv', 'host') FROM dual
will return the host name from which the client is connected, even if the client is connected locally.
If the host name is not sufficient, then I'm not sure what your other options are (perhaps writing a java stored procedure which returns the IP address of the database server? always connecting via SQL*Net?)

Sys_context procedure not return ip address

Hello,
db 11gr1
what would be the reason that this query not return an ip_address?
select sys_context('userenv', 'ip_address') from dual;
Thanks,

what would be the reason that this query not return an ip_address?USERENV does not know what the IP# is.

Not matching the SYS_CONTEXT('USERENV', 'LANG') with oracle fod schema data

I have imported the fod schema into oracle XE. I observed that the data available for following languages:
SQL> select distinct language from category_translations;
LANGUAGE
EN
EL
FR
DE
JA
But, when I check the value for the LANG in oracle XE, it is returning as 'US'.
SQL> select SYS_CONTEXT('USERENV','LANG') FROM DUAL;
SYS_CONTEXT('USERENV','LANG')
US
Becasue of this, I am not getting data when I run VOs from JDeveloper. Even I am not able to see data from FOD schema views.
Please suggest what changes I need to do for getting data.

Try this,it will work
alter session set nls_language = 'GREEK'
If the above query is used,it will set the current session's language code to 'GL' which is valid in the language filed of category_translations.
I did not find any nls_language value to get the 'EN' code.
You can get the valid language values from the below query:
select * from V$NLS_VALID_VALUES where parameter='LANGUAGE'
Thanks,
Mohan

The meeting room analogy doesn't work, as the poster isn't barging in and disturbing us from whatever else we're doing.

If I'm busy doing something else, then the poster with the urgent problem isn't disturbing me, because I'm not on the forum.

Hi Experts, replace function module WS_QUERY to return the name of OS?

Hi Experts,
the function WS_QUERY can return your computer operating system, you can try it SE37(WS_QUERY), and only give value 'OS' to the QUERY parameter and execute the function, you can see it in RETURN parameter, but now this function is obsolete and I must replace it with another function or method, can anyone of you tell me which function can totally(the return value need to be the same, but any valuable feedback is also welcome) replace it? thanks in advance!
Kind regards
Dawson

Hi Dawson,
You can use the static method GET_PLATFORM of the class CL_GUI_FRONTEND_SERVICES.

Hello Vijay,
The "Database system not supported" error you see, suggests that your TCOLL table is not setup correctly. You probably have a report scheduled in your TCOLL which is for a different DB then the one you run.
If the collector canels all the time, then this is probably a report which is scheduled to run every hour in your TCOLL. If it only cancels sometimes, then it should be easier to identify which report is causing it in your TCOLL.
The bottom line is to ensure your TCOLL is setup correctly and that you are not running DB reports there that are for a different DB than the one you use. The SAP note you follow to setup your TCOLL table depends on your SAP system version:
12103 - Contents of the TCOLL table
970449 - Contents of TCOLL table in SAP_BASIS 640
966309 - Contents of table TCOLL in SAP_BASIS 700
966631 - Contents of TCOLL table in SAP_BASIS 710

When userenv('CLIENT_INFO') return too much information?

We just applied some oracle patches and now when when I do a "select trim(userenv('CLIENT_INFO')) from dual", I am getting PETERRA:1389409584404465. All I want/need is JUST the user name (PETERRA). This worked before our DBAs applied the patch(es).
Is there a setting I can change to only get the user name - not the "extra" information?
Please advise.

This worked before our DBAs applied the patch(es). See +{message:id=10387545}+ : this appears to be a bug or undocumented change in behaviour introduced at some point between 3.0.0 and 4.1.1.
It's not just the length/additional data, its the difference between the information returned by <tt>CLIENT_INFO</tt> and <tt>CLIENT_IDENTIFIER</tt> (builder session ID and runtime app session ID?)
Oracle didn't respond to that thread.
Is there a setting I can change to only get the user name - not the "extra" information?Not that I'm aware of. Can you trim off the extra info?

Question about cursors in a function and how to return the results

Hi all,
Some tech info:
I'm using Oracle 11G database and APEX 4.0.2.00.06
I use three cursors in a function. My function is called in an APEX standard report, like this by example:
SELECT fnc_exp(tab.arg1, tab,arg2) FROM table_exp tab;
My question is: how can I return the values calculated from my function to a standard APEX report? Before, this function was used like this by Oracle Forms to fetch the cursors in the right table columns:
open c_a;
fetch c_a into :loc.arg1;
close c_a;
open c_b;
fetch c_b into :loc.arg2, :loc.arg3, :loc.arg4, :loc.arg5;
close c_b;
Thanks for your advices!
Maybe my solution is not right, if you have better ideas, please suggest :)
PS: If you need more details, please ask which you need.

Hi,
I don't think you can do exactly like that in APEX.
Go for a pipelined function if you want the value be returned from the function.
