Help With FGAC (VPD, RLS...)

Hi all.
I'm trying to create a Discoverer Trigger to implement FGAC. The point is:
Discoverer DEMANDS you to create a DB function without any argument, returning integer (that won't be used anywhere), and register it in Disco. Adm. Edition. This is the easy part.
Then I created two db. functions. The first one configures Policies (INFO_SEC). The second one (this is the one I try to invoke in discoverer - EUL_TRIGGER$POST_LOGIN), simply creates the policy using DBMS_RLS package.
SQL> create or replace function info_sec( p_schema in varchar2) return varchar2
  2  as
  3  v_user varchar2(30);
  4  begin
  5  select sys_context('USERENV', 'SESSION_USER')
  6   into v_user
  7  FROM DUAL;
  8    if (v_user = 'DWH_ADMIN' ) then
  9      return '';
10    else
11      return 'upper(nm_emp) = '||v_user;
12    end if;
13  end;
14  /
Function created.
SQL> create or replace FUNCTION EUL_TRIGGER$POST_LOGIN RETURN INTEGER
  2  as
  3  begin
  4  dbms_rls.add_policy
  5  ( object_schema   => 'DWH_ADMIN',
  6  object_name     => 'EMP_T',
  7  policy_name     => 'POL_EMP',
  8  function_schema => NULL,
  9  policy_function => 'INFO_SEC',
10  statement_types => 'select, insert, update, delete' ,
11  update_check    => TRUE );
12   RETURN(10000);
13  end;
14  /
Function created.
SQL> select EUL_TRIGGER$POST_LOGIN FROM DUAL;
select EUL_TRIGGER$POST_LOGIN FROM DUAL
ERROR at line 1:
ORA-14552: cannot perform a DDL, commit or rollback inside a query or DML
ORA-06512: at "SYS.DBMS_RLS", line 308
ORA-06512: at "DWH_ADMIN.EUL_TRIGGER$POST_LOGIN", line 4I understand this is due to the insert that dbms_rls tries to perform in order to create the policy.
My question is if anyone has an alternative for setting this using pl/sql. I need to set the RLS policy in discoverer only, so, i MUST use Discoverer Triggers.
If you need more info about Discoverer Triggers, you cand find it in:

Anything you guys input here will be highly appreciate!

You do not want any part of a system which intends to apply different FGAC policies to the same Oracle user based on the application they are using. Assuming you managed to set things up so that each application was setting up its own FGAC policy, FGAC policies apply to the instance. So the policy that would apply to the Discoverer session, for example, could change when some other application created a session and set its own policy. This is a disaster waiting to happen.
Your policy function could look at information about the session to try to determine the application being used and tailor the policy accordingly. This is generally a bad idea since this information is being passed in by the client, meaninging that it is relatively easy to spoof a different application.

  • Help with column-level RLS

    So I've started trying column-level RLS. But I don't know how to write the Function. Can somebody help?
    I want users in the same office and dept to see full details about the employees in their office, but masked fname, lname, salary of employees in other offices and depts.

    Look at the demos in Morgan's Library under DBMS_FGAC at www.psoug.org.
    Then just follow the examples to build your own.

  • Need help with boot up password

    Hi I need help with my IBM G41 think pad I when to sleep one night and I put some papers on the keys then close the lid with the papers in between on top of the keys now I get need a password when I started my PC can some some help me with this . Or is there any one whom had this some problem . I see a lock on the screen .

    Sorry if this seems like a stupid question, but why don't you have the password already? did the computer just randomly lock you out of it? If that is the case, that would be really strange. If there is no bios password on the computer, you should be able to reset the password in the bios.

  • Help with substitution decryption plz!!

    Hi there,
    I'm relatively new to developing with Java, and as a piece of work I have to decrypt a cipher text (which is quite long, near 11,500 characters) that has been encrypted with substitution and is in english.
    It consists of upper case letters, and some punctuation symbols, although whether they will actually function as punctuation i'm not sure; they seem to be just breaking the cipher into chunks of the alphabetic characters, and not in any uniform manner (eg every 12 characters). I did think maybe they'll be where spaces will need to go but that would be a little obvious, and some 'chunks' are too large for that to even make sense (over 50 characters). Maybe they're just a kind of wildcard to make it more complicated to analyse.
    As i understand it i need to use frequency tables_. I want to deduce the letters for those that have a unique frequency (to be sure i've not substituted with the wrong letter if/when there is a few to choose from at the frequency). I think i know how to do this;
    use 2d arrays-
    -- one for the frequency table i'll compare the cipher text against
    -- i have a few examples of these from the internet that i'll base it on,
    since i don't have a piece of the original plaintext to analyse.
    -- is there a better way to get the frequency for comparison? There is some variation in the tables i've managed to find so.
    -- another table for storing the analysis of the cipher text
    The dimensions will be the frequency, and the character.
    For the character, do I need to use ASCII representation? or would it be ok just using characters. Just figured i need to convert the ASCII back into characters to an output file is all. Is there an implemented way to do this conversion in Java easily? I've not had to work with it before so.
    Once i've done that part, I understand I need to use a wordlist_ to try and find words in what i've decrypted so far, and try to further the decryption with this also; ie if i find a word which adds new characters, add those new characters to the whole cipher. When finding words would i need to represent the cipher i'm working on with just the characters i have deduced, and say '_' as a character to represent one we don't yet have? eg if we had substituted B and T in, and the word being represented was 'better' would i need to hunt for words with a representation like this-> BETTE_ for example.
    Hope that bit made sense!!! lol.
    Also, i need to insert spaces where relevant (after a discovered word i suppose).
    This is the part that is most troubling me, any ideas of where to start?
    Firstly, i've not been able to find any wordlist's on the internet, know any sources? Is there a way i could use a dictionary stored on my computer elsewhere? say the dictionary from openOffice? I haven't worked with dictionaries or wordlists before so, any help with this part will greatly improve my understanding/progress.
    Is there an implemented way to do this any of this in Java easily? I'm using the Eclipse IDE just so you know.
    That's my thoughts and questions for the moment, might have more after i hear advice (sorry if it's rather long, just want to be clear).
    Hope you can help,
    Thanks in advance!
    ps. what is the text called you have when you have decrypted it? simply the decryption text? or just plaintext again? is there a term for when it's part way decrypted? like it's not the plaintext yet?

    I just googled and found lots of folks with the same problem.  One fellow wrote this as a soluton:
    "All you have to do is
    remove the values from the imageLinks in the flash element. That
    should fix it."
    Does it?

  • Help with if statement in cursor and for loop to get output

    I have the following cursor and and want to use if else statement to get the output. The cursor is working fine. What i need help with is how to use and if else statement to only get the folderrsn that have not been updated in the last 30 days. If you look at the talbe below my select statement is showing folderrs 291631 was updated only 4 days ago and folderrsn 322160 was also updated 4 days ago.
    I do not want these two to appear in my result set. So i need to use if else so that my result only shows all folderrsn that havenot been updated in the last 30 days.
    Here is my cursor:
    /*Cursor for Email procedure. It is working Shows userid and the string
    You need to update these folders*/
    DECLARE
    a_user varchar2(200) := null;
    v_assigneduser varchar2(20);

    v_subject varchar2(200);
    Cursor c IS
    SELECT assigneduser, vu.emailaddress, f.folderrsn, trunc(f.indate) AS "IN DATE",
    MAX (trunc(fpa.attemptdate)) AS "LAST UPDATE",

    WHERE f.foldertype = 'HJ'
    AND f.statuscode NOT IN (20, 40)
    AND f.folderrsn = fp.folderrsn
    AND fp.processrsn = fpa.processrsn
    AND vu.userid = fp.assigneduser
    AND vu.statuscode = 1
    GROUP BY assigneduser, vu.emailaddress, f.folderrsn, f.indate
    ORDER BY fp.assigneduser;
    BEGIN
    FOR c1 IN c LOOP
    IF (c1.assigneduser = v_assigneduser) THEN
    dbms_output.put_line(' ' || c1.folderrsn);
    else
    dbms_output.put(c1.assigneduser ||': ' || 'Overdue Folders:You need to update these folders: Folderrsn: '||c1.folderrsn);
    END IF;
    a_user := c1.assigneduser;
    v_assigneduser := c1.assigneduser;

    v_emailaddress := c1.emailaddress;
    v_subject := 'Subject: Project for';
    END LOOP;
    END;
    The reason I have included the folowing table is that I want you to see the output from the select statement. that way you can help me do the if statement in the above cursor so that the result will look like this:

    Hoping for some help with a very frustrating issue!
    I have been syncing calendar and contacts on my iPhone 5 and Outlook 2007 using iCloud  2.1.3 (my PC is running Vista). All was well until the events I entered on the phone were showing up in Outlook, but not the other way around. I’ve tried the usual recommended steps: deselecting calendar and contacts in the iCloud control panel and then re-selecting, signing out of the panel and back in, and repairing the Outlook installation in control panel.  I even uninstalled iCloud on the PC and downloaded it again (same version). 
    The furthest I’ve gotten is step 2 (and once, step 3) of 7 while performing “Outlook Setup For iCloud.” At that point I get, “Your setup couldn’t be started because of an unexpected error.”  After the first attempt at all this, all my calendar events disappeared from Outlook, although they are still in iCloud calendar and on my phone.
    Sound familiar?  Any ideas on how to solve this iCloud/Outlook issue?  Thanks much in advance!

All was well until the events I entered on the phone were showing up in Outlook, but not the other way around. I’ve tried the usual recommended steps: deselecting calendar and contacts in the iCloud control panel and then re-selecting, signing out of the panel and back in, and repairing the Outlook installation in control panel.  I even uninstalled iCloud on the PC and downloaded it again (same version). 
    The furthest I’ve gotten is step 2 (and once, step 3) of 7 while performing “Outlook Setup For iCloud.” At that point I get, “Your setup couldn’t be started because of an unexpected error.”  After the first attempt at all this, all my calendar events disappeared from Outlook, although they are still in iCloud calendar and on my phone.
    Sound familiar?  Any ideas on how to solve this iCloud/Outlook issue?  Thanks much in advance!

  • Help with HP Laser Printer 1200se

    HP Support Line,
    Really need your assistance.  I have tried both contacting HP by phone (told they no longer support our printer via phone help), the tech told me that I needed to contact HP by e-mail for assistance.   I then sent an e-mail for assistance and got that reply today, the reply is as follows  "Randall, unfortunately, HP does not offer support via e-mail for your product.  However many resources are available on the HP web site that may provide the answer to your inquiry.  Support is also available via telephone.  A list of technical support numbers can be round at the following URL........."  The phone numbers listed are the ones I called and the ones that told me I needed to contact the e-mail support for help.
    So here I am looking for your help with my issue.
    We just bought a new HP Pavillion Slimline Desk Top PC (as our 6 year old HP Pavillion PC died on us).  We have 2 HP printers, one (an all-in-one type printer, used maily for copying and printing color, when needed) is connected and it is working fine with the exception of the scanning option (not supported by Windows 7).  However we use our Laser Printer for all of our regular prining needs.  This is the HP LaserPrinter 1200se, which is about 6 years old but works really well.  For this printer we currently only have a parallel connection type cord and there is not a parallel port on the Slimline HP PC.  The printer also has the option to connedt a USB cable (we do not currently have this type of cable).
    We posed the following two questions:
    1.  Is the Laser Jet 1200se compatible with Windows 7?
    and if this is the case
    2.  Can we purchase either a) a USC connection cord (generic or do we need a printer specific cord)? or b) is there there a printer cable converter adapater to attach to our parallel cable to convert to a USB connection?
    We do not want to purchase the USB cable if Windows 7 will not accept the connection, or if doing this will harm the PC.
    We really would appreciate any assitance that you might give us.
    Thank you,
    Randy and Leslie Gibson

    Sorry, both cannot be enabled by design.  That said, devices on a network do not care how others are connected.  You can print from a wireless connection to a wired (Ethernet) printer and v/v.
    Say thanks by clicking "Kudos" "thumbs up" in the post that helped you.

  • Going to Australia and need help with Power converters

    Facts:
    US uses 110v on 60hz
    Australia 220v on 50hz
    Making sure I understood that correctly.  Devices I plan on bringing that will use power are PS3 Slim, MacBook Pro 2008 model, and WD 1TB External HDD.  My DS, and Cell are charging via USB to save trouble of other cables.
    Ideas I've had or thought of:
    1.  Get a power converter for a US Powerstrip, and then plug in my US items into the strip and then the strip into an AUS Converter into Australian outlet.  Not sure if this fixes the voltage/frequency change.
    2.  Get power converters for all my devices.  But, not sure if my devices needs ways of lowering the voltage/increasing frequency or something to help with the adjustment.
    3.  Buy a universal powerstrip, which is extremely costly and I wouldn't be able to have here in time (I leave Thursday).  Unless Best Buy carrys one.

    Check the specs on input voltage/frequency of your power supplies.
    Many laptop power supplies are "universal/global" and are specced something like 80-265 volts AC 50/60 Hz, but not all.  These will just need a connector adapter.
    Unsure about the PS3 Slim - if it isn't universal it could be difficult as you'll need a 110/220 transformer, one big enough (power-handling wise) for the PS3 will be very bulky.
    For the external WD HDD, if it doesn't have a universal supply, you're probably best off just finding a new wallwart for it that is capable of running on 220/50.

  • Creation of context sensitive help with pure FM 12 usage doesn't work

    Hi,
    I hope somebody is able to help me with a good hint or tip.
    I am trying to create a context-sensitive Microsoft Help with FM12 only using the abilities of FM (no RoboHelp). For some reasons, my assigned ID's are not used in the generated chm file and therefore the help does not work context-sensitively.
    What did I do?
    - I created my FM files and assigned topic aliases to the headers. I did this two ways: a) using the "Special" menue and assigning a CSH marker and/or b) setting a new marker of type "Topic Alias" and typing the ID. I used only numeric IDs like "2000" or "4200",
    - I created a .h file (projectname.h) - based on the format of the file projectname_!Generated!.h (I read this in some instructions). So the .h file (text file) looks like this:
    #define 2000 2000 /* 4 Anwendungsoberfläche */
    #define 2022 2022 /* 4.1.1 Menü Datei */
    #define 2030 2030 /* 4.1.3 Menü Parametersatz */
    #define 2180 2180 /* 6.6.7 Objektdialog Q-Regler */
    #define 2354 2354 /* 6.9.2 Objektdialog Extran Parameter */
    #define 2560 2560 /* 6.9.5 Objektdialog Extran2D Parametersatz */
    - I published the Microsoft HTML Help. A projectname_!Generated!.h has been created. My IDs were not used in this file:
    #define 2000    1
    #define 2022    2
    #define 2030    3
    #define 2180    4
    #define 2354    5
    #define 2560    6
    - When I open the .chm file and look in the source code, the ID even is totally different. It is not the one, I assigned in FM, it is not the one which I assigned in the projectname.h file and it even is not the one, which was put in the projectname_!Generated!.h file. It is a generated name starting with CSH_1 ...n in a consecutive way numbered.
    Example:
    <p class="FM_Heading1"><a name="XREF_72066_13_Glossar"></a>Gloss<a name="CSH_1"></a>ar</p>
    What goes wrong? Why does FM not take my assigned IDs? I need to use these IDs since our programmers are using those already - I had to re-create the whole online help but the programs stay untouched.
    Please help!
    Many thanks
    Mohi

    Hi Jeff,
    thanks for your note!
    The text in my marker is just a number like "2000" or "4200". As said, I created manually a my.h file and used this marker there. E.g.
    #define 2000 2000.
    Whereby the first 2000 (in my opinion) is the marker text and the second 2000 is the context ID which the programmers are using for the context sensitive call of the help. My definitions in the my.h file were translated to #define 2000 1 (in the my_!Generated!.h file). The source code "translates" the context ID into CSH_8.
    I am still confused :-/
    Thanks
    Mohi

  • Need help with Boot Camp and Win 7

    I have iMac 27" (iMac11,1) 2.8 GHz, quad core, 8MB of L3, 8GB of Memory, Boot ROM Version IM111.0034.B02 and SMC Version 1.54f36 and can't get this machine to run Windows 7 using Boot Camp.  I have successfully loaded Win 7 but when it claims to be starting I only get a black screen after initial start up.
    I have checked and rechecked my software updates and have read and reread the instructions, however, I can't update my Boot Camp to 3.1 (my machine says i'm running 3.0.4) and I need 3.1 but can't load 3.1 because it is an exe file that has to be loaded into Windows after I load Windows but can't open Windows because I can't load Boot Camp 3.1.  That's my excuse anyway, so I'm missing something I just can't figure out what it is....this is where you come in!
    Thanks.
    Mike

    Mike,
    I'm not going to be much help with Boot Camp however I can direct you to the Boot Camp forum where there are more people that know how to troubleshoot it and Windoze 7. You can find it at:

  • Can some help with CR2 files ,Ican`t see CR2 files in adobe bridge

    can some help with CR2 files ,I can`t see CR2 files in adobe bridge when I open Adobe Photoshop cs5- help- about plugins- no camera raw plugins. When i go Edit- preference and click on camera raw  shows message that Adobe camera raw plugin cannot be found

    That's strage. Seems that the Camera Raw.8bi file has been moved to different location or has gone corrupt. By any chance did you try to move the camera raw plugin to a custom location?
    Go To "C:\Program Files (x86)\Common Files\Adobe\Plug-Ins\CS5\File Formats" and look for Camera Raw.8bi file.
    If you have that file there, try to download the updated camera raw plugin from the below location.
    http://www.adobe.com/support/downloads/thankyou.jsp?ftpID=5371&fileID=5001
    In case  you ae not able to locate the Camera Raw.8bi file on the above location, then i think you need to re-install PS CS5.

  • Be grateful for your help with Photoshop Elements which I have been using for several years.

    Be grateful for your help with Photoshop Elements which I have been using for several years.  Does Elements need to have access to ‘My Pictures’ on Windows as when I remove Photos from ‘My Pictures’, Elements later, when backing up, gives a message that it is unable to ‘reconnect’ to the same picture on elements.  On other occasions when removing a photo from Elements catalogue I also get a similar message when backing up saying ‘unable to reconnect’.  1. Is there a relationship between Elements and My Pictures and is Elements dependant on    the Windows ‘My Pictures’? 2. Why does some photos in Elements in some cases cause them to multiply e.g. double; triple; quadruple; and on occasions even more?  Is there something I need to do to stop this or an easy way I can remove the multiples without spending hours doing it manually one by one?  Am I doing something wrong? My O/S is Windows XP SP2 and windows Vista on my Laptop.  I have been using Elements 5 and have just purchased Photoshop Elements 8.0. (Upgrade) and about to install it. Be grateful for any advice as I do enjoy using the program if only I can resolve this issue.  I am not a PC wiz and mainly use Elements to catalogue photos from which I compile collections and from them slide shows with music.  Any advice appreciated Sonny.t PS Have tried to post this previously but without success so hoping to see message appear and a +response

    The organizer doesn't care where you send your photos when you download them via the downloader or where they happen to be when you first bring them in if you use the Get Photos command, but once your pics are in the Organizer, you *must* move them from within organizer or it can't find them. You don't have to use My Pictures at all if you don't want to, but regardless of the folder where you put your photos, if you want them someplace else, you use organizer to do it.

  • Query Help with Parent, Child, Child's Child

    Hi all,
    Need some help with a query.  I'm trying to create a stored procedure that is sort of like a Customer, Order, Order, Details.  In my situation the tables are different but nevertheless, I want to grab all the fields from the  Parent, Child,
    and Childs' Child, where the Parent.ParentID = @Parameter.  I tried this:
    CREATE PROCEDURE [dbo].[spGetCompleteProjectXML]
    @ProjectID int = 0
    AS
    SELECT *,
    (SELECT *,
    (SELECT *
    FROM PageControls
    WHERE (PageControls.ProjectPageID = ProjectPages.ProjectPageID))
    FROM ProjectPages
    WHERE (ProjectPages.ProjectID = @ProjectID))
    FROM Projects
    WHERE (ProjectID = @ProjectID)
    FOR XML AUTO, ELEMENTS
    RETURN 0
    I think I'm close, but it was my best effort.  Could someone help?
    thanks in advance
