Grants not displaying, 3.2.09

In order for an objects grants to show up when exporting DDL, you go to Preferences>>Database>>Utilities>>Export and make sure than "Grants" has a checkmark next to it. One of our colleagues cannot get this to work. We've even gone in and deleted the ...\SQL Developer\.. folder and had him start from scratch.
I should mention here that it works for the rest of us. I can toggle the Grants checkmark on/off & see the effects immediately. I should also mention that my co-worker can see those same grants under the Grants tab when an object has been selected.
It looks like this setting is contained within ...\SQL Developer\system3.2.09.30\o.sqldeveloper.11.2.0.9.30\product_prefrences.xml, but those entries that have the string "grant" in them look the same as mine.
I can't think of anything else which will shake this loose. Unistalling isn't the easiest option, as we have the tool installed in Citrix.
Any help would be appreciated.
Thanks,

Hi Chuck,
This seems like it could be related to...
Bug 14551896 - FORUM 3.2: GRANTS NOT SHOWING ON SQL TAB OF OBJECT EDITOR
Bug 12583419 - CANNOT EXTRACT DDL GRANTS OF OTHER USERS IN SQLDEVELOPER (Enhancement Request)
Bug 12596786 - NEED DIRECT SELECT ON TABLE-> GRANTS/DDL EXPORT OTHER USER? (Duplicate of Bug 12583419)
Unfortunately your SQL Developer release is 3.2.09.30 (an early adopter version!), but the issue was actually fixed for Bug 14551896 (which got included in 3.2.09.96), so if that is in fact your problem you will need to upgrade. As for it working for some users and not others in the early adopter version, according to the bug description, that occurs when some have SELECT directly granted on the table and others do not.
Please compare the actual system and object privileges for the users in question to see if this scenario applies.

How to not display nodes in a tree if Oracle roles are NOT used?

How to not display nodes in a tree if Oracle roles are NOT used?
We don't use Oracle DB roles to grant users access to Forms from the menu. We use a template and role system of our own. Basically a few tables with templates and roles.
We want to convert our normal Forms menu to a tree menu and one of our key requirements is that when the tree is populated ONLY nodes with programs (i.e. forms) he has been granted to execute is shown.
Since we don't use Oracle Roles how to do this in a tree?
I created a function to show/hide LEAF nodes, BUT problem is that there are sub-menu nodes showing even if the leaf-nodes under it has not being displayed. My function has suppressed it.
My tree query is like this:
SELECT
     t.status, LEVEL, t.label, t.icon, t.node VALUE
FROM
     tma_tree_menu t
WHERE
tma_authenticate_sys_chk_role(USER, t.node) = 1
CONNECT BY
     PRIOR t.node = t.master
START WITH
     t.MASTER IS NULL
ORDER SIBLINGS BY
t.position
The tma_authenticate_sys_chk_role will return 1 only if the user has access to the form under that node.
I tried the FTree functions in Forms but even that has nothing.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Would you share the source code? I guess what I need is how exactly you retreive the user credentials from the DB table and set that boolean variable.
and then how to condition it in UIX?

Notification Detail Page is not displaying

Hi All,
I have a requirement of creating a read only workflow admin responsibility. For that I have followed the below steps.
1. Set 'Workflow Administrator Web Applications' as the Workflow Administrator from administration tab.
2. Create a grant with the below details.
Grantee Type: All Users
Responsibility: Workflow Administrator Web (New)
Object: Workflow Items
Data Context Type: All Rows
Permission Set: Business workflow item permission set
I have done this for viewing the workflow owned by all users and followed the ID 1328447.1 for doing this.
Now everything is working fine, but Notification Detail page is not displaying. It is loading for a long time and
giving the errors, ('The connection was reset' in Mozilla and 'Page Cannot be Displayed' in IE).
Notification detail page will come when I remove this Grant, but it will display only the workflows owned by
that particular user. So this grant is a mandatory component for me.
The issue is there even for the admin responsibility(Workflow Administrator Web Applications) when assigning
this grant.
Can anyone help me on this to resolve this issue.
Thanks & Regards,
Charls

Check Availability does not display free busy information

I have setup Calendar Server and Communications Express (w/ Directory Server, Access Manager, Delegated Administrator, Web Server) to do an evalutation of the Sun Calendar. I started with the 2005Q4 version as it came with our Solaris 10 installation.
Then, when I was unable to view free/busy information via the Check Availability view, I thought that maybe trying out the upgraded version 6.3 would help. I have the exact same problem with 6.3 as I did with 2005Q4. All the other basic capabilities seem to be working fine.
I should note that when I setup 2005Q4, the free/busy information showed up in Calendar Express, but not Communications Express.
With 6.3, the logs indicate that Calendar Server is sending the free/busy information, and that Communications Express is receiving the free/busy information from Calendar Server, yet all the time slots were showing that the resources I was checking were available, when I know full well that they have busy time slots (which show up on their respective calendars), and the Communications Express logs received those free/busy times from calendar server. I set the time range of the check availability request wide enough to ensure that I should see the busy time slots.
I am completely baffled by this as this is such a major feature (at least for us)--I wouldn't think that this would be a problem across two major releases without anyone else noticing. What could I be doing wrong?
I am using the calmaster account to do this, and I added a couple of resources using delegated administrator. Events show up on the resource calendars as expected. Communications Express receives the correct free/busy information from Calendar Server, but does not display it.

Everything is in one domain right now (I am just trying to get a simple case working).
When I look at the resource calendar itself (logged is as the owner, which is calmaster), I can see everything about all events on the reosurce calendar.
The default acl for resource calendars is the same one that comes by default with Calendar Server (which grants all users permissions to see free/busy info).
When I edit the resource calendar in Communications Express, "Anyone can view my availability", "Anyone can read my calendar", and "Anyone can invite me to an event" are all enabled, yet the availability does not show busy in the time slots where the resource has scheduled events on its calendar--everything remains as available (white).
The events for which the resource is scheduled are public events.
Any other ideas?
Thank you for replying--any other suggestions or ideas that you or anyone else can think of are more than welcome. I really need to get this working!

SQL Developer 3.0.04 worksheets not displaying

Worksheets are not displaying in SQL Developer 3.0.04.34 (download included JDK1.6.0_11) on Windows 7 Enterprise 32-bit. I upgraded from 2.1.1.64 and chose to migrate existing connections.
I am able to open all connections, view table and object listings in the navigator tree view, and expand tables to see column names, but nothing displays when I click the Data tab, Columns, Grants, or any other tabs. No column headings appear. No error messages appear.
When opening views, I am able to click on the SQL tab and retrieve text.
No data displays when I run a query. The same thing happens when I try anything that should return data, such as Tools...Monitor Sessions, anything from the new DBA navigator, anything from the Reports tab.
This is only happening on one of two Windows 7 PCs I have installed it on (both upgraded from 2.1.1.64), so I know it should work.
I have tried:
re-installation
reboots
separate installation of Java JDK 1.6.0_25 and the SQL Developer version that excludes the JDK
uninstalling Java to eliminate conflicts
locating the SQL Developer folder outside of Program Files to eliminate Administrator permission issues
editing SetJavaHome in sqldeveloper.conf
Has anyone seen this same problem?

I just solved my own problem. I don't know what caused it, but the fix is fairly simple.
SQL Developer is not installed in Windows using an installation program, and to my knowledge doesn't have registry entries. Application-specific configuration and temporary data is kept in
C:\Users\<username>\AppData\Roaming\SQL Developer\
This folder contains information for all copies of SQL Developer installed on the computer.
Before re-installing, it is necessary to completely uninstall version 3.0.04. This is done by deleting the folder where you installed SQL Developer, in addition to the following AppData folder:
C:\Users\<username>\AppData\Roaming\SQL Developer\system3.0.04.34
I also deleted C:\Users\<username>\AppData\Roaming\SQL Developer\SqlHistory, but that might not have been necessary.

Oracle Apps adapter not displaying any Business Events

Hello
We have configured a Business Event in Oracle ebs R12 instance. Now we are trying to configure Oracle Apps Adapter in Oracle Jdeveloper. The version is 11.1.1.3.
The apps adapter wizard; after connecting to the ebs instance; does not display any tables/Business events.
The connection to the ebs instance is done by a normal user i.e. 'apps' user credentials are not used. We are not provided with 'apps' user credentials due to security reasons. We need help in figuring out the privileges that shld be granted to the 'normal' user so that we can browse and select the Business event in Jdeveloper and also the apps adapter can create the subscriptions and queues successfully in ebs.
Any pointers will be greatly appreciated...
Thanks
Edited by: Ruplim on Jun 7, 2012 10:15 AM

Hi Ruplim,
I am new to this topic and dont really know how to go about this. So can i assume from your post that the oracle apps adapter can subscribe to an event in EBS. If yes, can you tell me how i can do this?
Thanks

CR runtime 13: report not displayed in production environment

Hi, i've the following situation..
i'm developing on VS2010 a webapp using the final release of CRfVS2010 (s.o. is Windows 7 Ent x64) without any problems.
Today i'm trying to test the app on a server (Windows Server 2003 with CR2008 redist already installed for a previous site) but i've some problems.
First i've installed .net framework 4, then CRRuntime_32bit_13_0.msi, all installation ok.
When i published the app (file system mode), the first time an error occurred, because was impossible to load log4net assembly. I've solved it inserting a new reference and setting 'copy locally' for publishing.
Next error is that the report is not displayed
I've copied from wwwroot the aspnet_client folder into my webapp folder.
I've copied the report on the server into the right folder which i've granted everyone access to read and write.
No report displayed
I don't know to do because in the iis log or in the windows events i'm not found errors. I've tried to make a remote debug but the environment is not able to connect to the right process...
Any ideas? Thanks al lot

Contacts and calendars not displaying

I've copied over my contacts and calendar items [from Outlook 2003] to my iPod and they are not displaying at all [blank] when I browse to them in my device - are there any additional steps I need?
Thx for the help!

Hello fellow ipodders,
I have an ipod photo 30Gb for about 3 months now.
Running first with Itunes 5.01 and now Itunes 6.0.
When I tried to sync between Ipod and Outlook 2003 SP1 at
the end there is nothing displayed in the IPOD. No contacts or calendar items. The sync seems to go fine, even granting for access to Outlook 2003 is asked and I permit that for 10 mins. But at the end nothing in my ipod.
Is this problem somehow resolved now. It has been posted for that long time now.
BTW: I feel that Apple is only a sales company. Selling pretty expensive portable mediaplayers. But the word support isn't in their dictionary....
Brgds,
Bas.

Query on SQL Developer Connections Tree Does Not Display Objects

Hi Gurus, Could you please clarify on the below. As per the note ID 1458753.1, SQL Developer Connections Tree Does Not Display Objects to user in order to access database objects outside the owned schema/account. ------------------------- By default, and without granting wide privileges such as DBA, a user will only see his or her own objects in the first level object nodes under their connection. Objects in other schemas must be accessed via the Other Users node under the connection. This is the intended functionality/display in SQL Developer. ------------------------- Is there any other way we can achieve this? Requirement is very common - user A owns all objects and user B granted read/read-write privileges on user A objects. Now user B wants to Display user A objects in the corresponding objects node of SQL developer. Could any one shed some light here? Thanks Venu

First off, there is a dedicated SQL Developer forum where lots of the developers hang out. Those folks are way more knowledgable that we are about the tool.
That said, I have no problem displaying dates. Do you just have a problem with this particular query/ field/ table? Or does it affect all dates? What version of SQL Developer are you using? 1.1 is out now.

Problem: Dynamic Page portlet is not displayed on a public-viewable page

I've written a little dynamic page portal that works nicely on secure pages, but when I create a new page and mark this page as "public viewable" - the portal is not displayed.
I created a 2nd public page and put several prebuilt and some of our own portlets onto this page - again none worked - except the prebuilt "login" portlet.
Is there a restriction that I'm not aware of?
Is there a documentation about this behaviour?
Can anyone post me a hit or link to documentatin?
Sincerly,

Strange scenario,Oracle can not display the data in mysql correctly

I use Heterogeneous Service+ODBC to achieve "oracle access mysql"(any other method?),and now i find Oracle can not display the data in mysql correctly:
-------mysql------------
mysql> create table tst(id int,name varchar(10));
Query OK, 0 rows affected (0.00 sec)
mysql> insert into tst values(1,'a');
Query OK, 1 row affected (0.00 sec)
mysql> select * from tst;
------------+
| id | name |
------------+
| 1 | a |
------------+
1 row in set (0.00 sec)
mysql> show create table tst\G
*************************** 1. row ***************************
Table: tst
Create Table: CREATE TABLE `tst` (
`id` int(11) DEFAULT NULL,
`name` varchar(10) DEFAULT NULL
) ENGINE=MyISAM DEFAULT CHARSET=utf8
1 row in set (0.00 sec)
-------------oracle ------------------
SQL> select count(*) from "tst"@mysql;
COUNT(*)
49
SQL> select * from "tst"@mysql;
id
1
SQL> desc "tst"@mysql;
Name Null? Type
id NUMBER(10)

You can make the following query on the result page:
"select * from the_table where movietitle = ? and cinema = ?"
then you set movietitle and cinema to those which the user selected. If the resultset contains more than 0 rows, that means the movie is available.
Below is the sample code, it assumes you have a connection to the database:
PreparedStatement stat = myConnection.prepareStatement("select * from the_table where movietitle = ? and cinema = ?");
stat.setString(1, usersMovieTitleSelection);
stat.setString(2, usersCinemaSelection);
ResultSet res = stat.executeQuery();
if (res.next()) {
out.print("The movie is available");
} else {
out.print("The movie is not available");
}Now just add that to your JSP page. Enjoy ! =)

Floating fields and fragment subforms in Outlook 2007 do not display correctly

I'm using LCES Forms 8.0 Update 1 to render a non-interactive HTML forms using dynamic content (customer info). The email appears ok in clients except in Outlook 2007.
The Floating text and Text Fields appear multiple times on the form (scattered around their placement point on the form) and the subform fragments are appearing with borders surrounding them.
I have heard that there are issues with Outlook 2007 not displaying HTML correctly. Is there a way to setup the Text Fields/Subforms in Designer so they display correctly in Outlook 2007?
Thanks!

Create a new profile as a test to check if your current profile is causing the problems.
See "Basic Troubleshooting: Make a new profile":

There may be extensions and plugins installed by default in a new profile, so check that in "Tools > Add-ons > Extensions & Plugins" in case there are still problems.
If the new profile works then you can transfer some files from the old profile to that new profile, but be careful not to copy corrupted files.

Umlauts are not displayed correctly in different programs

Hello!
I live in germany, but my locale is set to "en_US.UTF8" because I like to have everything in english.
I do not have any problems with umlauts on the machine, but when I connect with sFTP oder Samba to it, the umlauts in files are not displayed correctly.
Look at this example
The upper word is how it looks in "ssh putty" (=locally on the machine), the bottom one is from "filezilla" (from my windows host)
This is my locale
locale
LANG=en_US.UTF-8
LC_CTYPE="en_US.UTF-8"
LC_NUMERIC="en_US.UTF-8"
LC_TIME="en_US.UTF-8"
LC_COLLATE="en_US.UTF-8"
LC_MONETARY="en_US.UTF-8"
LC_MESSAGES="en_US.UTF-8"
LC_PAPER="en_US.UTF-8"
LC_NAME="en_US.UTF-8"
LC_ADDRESS="en_US.UTF-8"
LC_TELEPHONE="en_US.UTF-8"
LC_MEASUREMENT="en_US.UTF-8"
LC_IDENTIFICATION="en_US.UTF-8"
LC_ALL=
When I create a file "asd_aöü" locally on the machine (with the help of ssh - putty), it looks fine, but when I connect by samba or filezilla again the umlauts are not displayed correctly.
Do you understand my problem? What can I do?
Thanks!

Pictures not displaying in non-thumbnail sizes

One of my clients has an iMac G5 running 10.4.11 and iPhoto 5.0.4. He's got about 3200 pictures in his iPhoto library which is about 12GB in size (they are all very large pictures). He's been using iPhoto without problem for years then suddenly he noticed that some pictures do not display in a slideshow. Out of the 3200 pictures he's narrowed it down so far to a few dozen pictures throughout his library. When we view the roll or the album with the pictures listed as thumbnails, we can see the picture just fine, but when we do anything that involves viewing at non-thumbnail size, such as double clicking on it or viewing in a slideshow it displays nothing. Slideshow just shows all black and double clicking on the thumb shows white with a spinning gear that never stops spinning. I rebuilt his library and that did not fix it. I repaired permissions, trashed iPhoto preferences, deleted tmp & cache files from his computer, I even zapped the PRAM out of desperation and nothing made any difference at all. One weird thing is that when it is siting at the white screen with spinning gear, if we resize the window smaller then resize it bigger, the picture will display properly but only for that time. It still will not display in slideshows.
I tried exporting one of the troublesome pictures out of iPhoto to his desktop, delete the pic from iPhoto, then try re-importing it again. This time when we try to import it, iPhoto gives an error that the file couldn't be imported because it may be an unrecognized file type or may not contain valid data. I can open the pic on his desktop using Preview and Photoshop with no problems at all.
Why am I posting this in the iPhoto '08 forum? well I copied the file to my MacBook Pro running 10.5.6 and iPhoto '08 and it almost does the same thing. I am able to import the file into iPhoto '08 and I can see the thumbnail but when I double click it, instead of a white screen with the spinning gear, i get a black screen and nothing else. I tried the trick of resizing the window and as I'm resizing, I do see a blocky image but as soon as I stop resizing the image goes black.
I can open the file in any program on multiple computers: Photoshop, Preview, GraphicConverter, ColorSync Util, Safari, Firefox, etc. iPhoto version 5 and '08 (the only versions I have handy) refuse to work with the file. I've even edited the picture in photoshop by changing the resolution by just a few pixels and slightly tighter jpg compression but iPhoto still refuses to play nice with it.
I have exhausted all options other than reinstalling the OS, but other posts I've read similar to this say that never fixes it. I am at a loss. What is wrong with iPhoto that it refuses to play nicely with pictures that work everywhere else in the world?
I forgot to add that in Console there are several instances of iPhoto errors:
"have info and image but no ciimage" and “have info and image but no ref”

Clint:
Try opening the file in one of the other applications that can use it and save as a new file and see if that new file is compatible with iPhoto. Or you might try this Automator workflow, Convert to JPG and Embed sRGB profile, on one and see if the resulting file will work. If so you can batch change all of them. It replaces the file you run it on so be sure to run it on a copy just to be safe. You can download it from Toad's Cellar or download it immediately with this link: Convert to JPG and Embed sRGB profile.zip.
TIP: For insurance against the iPhoto database corruption that many users have experienced I recommend making a backup copy of the Library6.iPhoto (iPhoto.Library for iPhoto 5 and earlier versions) database file and keep it current. If problems crop up where iPhoto suddenly can't see any photos or thinks there are no photos in the library, replacing the working Library6.iPhoto file with the backup will often get the library back. By keeping it current I mean backup after each import and/or any serious editing or work on books, slideshows, calendars, cards, etc. That insures that if a problem pops up and you do need to replace the database file, you'll retain all those efforts. It doesn't take long to make the backup and it's good insurance.
I've created an Automator workflow application (requires Tiger or later), iPhoto dB File Backup, that will copy the selected Library6.iPhoto file from your iPhoto Library folder to the Pictures folder, replacing any previous version of it. There are versions that are compatible with iPhoto 5, 6, 7 and 8 libraries and Tiger and Leopard. Just put the application in the Dock and click on it whenever you want to backup the dB file. iPhoto does not have to be closed to run the application, just idle. You can download it at Toad's Cellar. Be sure to read the Read Me pdf file.
NOTE: iPhoto 8's new option in it's rebuild library window, "Rebuild the iPhoto Library Database from automatic backup" may make this tip obsolete. We'll know when users have occasion to use it and see if that's the case.
