Help with utl_file package

hi
I need to write a procedure using utl_file package to read the data from excel sheet and then checking the avaibility
of that data in existing library. can anybody suggest me how to start with?

Probably is better if you export your Excel as a CSV file and then map it to an external table.
By the way, you could read the Excel file directly if you can use ODBC driver (which can be a bit tricky in an Unix system)
Bye,
Antonio

Need help with Nagios package

I'm attempting to build a Nagios package, and I'm pretty close, actually have it installed and running, BUT...
when I run the web interface, it calls some CGI files, and I get an error that it can't find them. It can't find them because it's looking for them in /repo/packages/nagios/usr/sbin/nagios/sbin (with '/repo/packages/nagios' being our local repo where the package was built, and '/usr/sbin/nagios/sbin' being where it should be looking for the CGI files.)
I cheated by setting up that path and copying the files over, just to get it working, but obviously my PKGBUILD needs some help. I think the problem is pretty simple (just like me) and probably has to do with a configure prefix (with 'cgiurl' being the likely culprit.)
Here's my package build, any help would be greatly and fantasticly appreciated.

When you have a Nagios PKGBUILD ready, could you please make it available to others? That would be great.
Thank you,
Darin
Definitely, if I ever get it working properly. However, since I have it working it working well enough for our purposes, I won't be putting a whole lot of time in the PKGBUILD.
Thanks to Cactus for the advice above, but the build failed (don't have the error message handy.)
This was for Nagios 1.2, I may try building a package for Nagios 2.0b4 and see if I have any luck.

Help with workflow - Package etc.

We just started using Package to update our running file... a small publication twice monthly, with lots of photos, pdf's etc. instead of the links file getting bigger and bigger with age, package will bring forward only what's repeating, right? - Looks good so far. Now we want to generate our print version, mostly b&w, some spot color, but offer advertisers the option of sending color ads to be used on the web version. First impression is, they're gungho... Haven't figured out how to get this accomplished just yet. Thought to make up the regular file, save, make plates etc. then copy, swap the color stuff in and make PDF's for the web... but where to put the color stuff, in the regular link folder, it'll start growing immediately, but maybe still manageable. Making sense? Any good ideas would be welcome... the web version is frontlinebuses.com (((it's elementary, we know... we're really bus folks, not design artists...))).. Thanks By the way, still using CS3. L W

Somehow in our process we've avoided problems, every issue opens and works perfect (has for years now). We do use a save-as often, they may be the key... We're looking at several ways to accomplish the color for web thing.
Well, that's what everyone says rith up to the point where the file fails catastrophically, usually just before deadline. Consider yourself luck and living a good life.
Save As isn't going to get rid of cumulative corruption, it just either overwrites or creates a new copy of the file with the same corrupt components. It will remove useless change history, though. When you start fresh from the template each time you are always saving a second-generation file so the odds of problems are vastly smaller than the odds with a 52nd generation file.

Help with utl_file (read/write file from local directory)

Need help reading/writing file on local machine from plsql using 10.2 DB.
I am trying to read/write a file from a local directory(laptop) without success.
I have been able to read/write to the database server directory but can't write to directory on local machine.
The utl_file_dir parm has been set to * and the db restarted but I can't get it to work... Here's the plsql statement.
out_file := UTL_FILE.FOPEN ( 'C:\PLSQL', 'TEST.TXT', 'W' ,32767);
Whenever I run it continues to write to c:\PLSQL dir on the database server. Have looked at the "Directory" object and created MY_DIR = C:\PLSQL but it writes to the db server.
Running 10.2 on a remote windows server, running PLSQL using sql*navigator.
Thanks in advance for your help..

I don't see how you expect the server to be able to see your laptop across the network, hack into it and start writing files. Even if it could, what if there is more than one laptop with a C: drive? How would it know which one to write to?
Is there a shared drive on the server you can access via the laptop?

Problem with utl_file package

Hi guys.
I was trying I/O in oracle using utl_file packege the codes written my me was:
DECLARE
Temp UTL_FILE.File_Type;
BEGIN
Temp:=UTL_FILE.Fopen('/DOGS','TEST.txt','w');
UTL_FILE.Put(Temp,'Hell');
UTL_FILE.FFLUSH(Temp);
UTL_FILE.Fclose(Temp);
EXCEPTION
WHEN UTL_FILE.INVALID_PATH THEN
DBMS_OUTPUT.PUT_LINE('PATH');
WHEN UTL_FILE.INVALID_FILEHANDLE THEN
DBMS_OUTPUT.PUT_LINE('HANDLE');
END;
but its going state to exception invalid_path can any one help me out please.
the entry in init.ora file was
utl_file_dir="c:/help"
please help me out please ur help will be appreciated. thanx
nikhil

Nikhil,
If we consider the following line from your code:
Temp:=UTL_FILE.Fopen('/DOGS','TEST.txt','w');
The first parameter in the FOPEN function ('/DOGS') is not a file system directory name, but an Oracle DB directory name. You need to create the directory thus:
CREATE DIRECTORY dogs AS 'C:\help' ;
You then need to permit the database server to access the physical directory by setting UTL_FILE_DIR as follows:
UTL_FILE_DIR = 'C:\help'
in init.ora. Don't forget to bounce the DB!
Now you can open the file with:
Temp:=UTL_FILE.FOPEN('dogs','TEST.txt','w');

Please help with importing packages

I am trying to learn the Java Advanced Imaging (JAI) API. I have successfully installed java2SDK.
I downloaded the JAI library (jai-1_1_2-rc-lib-windows-i586.exe) and have installed it.
After installation, I added the JAI lib to the CLASSPATH.
CLASSPATH = C:\java\jai-1_1_2-rc\lib
when I try compiling a demo program from this tutorial page:
http://developer.java.sun.com/developer/onlineTraining/javaai/jai/src/FrontPage.java
I get these errors,
package javax.media.jai does not exist
import javax.media.jai.JAI;
how do I know which directory to copy the JAI lib files to so that
this import statement can find JAI
import javax.media.jai.JAI;
please help if you can
Thanks
John

Hi,
You have to give the full path of the jar file in classpath along with the jar file name
something like CLASSPATH = C:\java\jai-1_1_2-rc\lib\jai.jar ...see the jar file name and include that also

Need help with a package

I'm don't know anything about packages or much at all as flash is concern. I'm trying to help the company I work for with a banner for the site... I have everything working fine as long as I do it from my desktop but the moment I put it on the site is blank.. I figure out the it may have something to do with my 1st line. I made a directory on the site with the exact same folder structure but I may be missing something. I thing that maybe it because if i rename or move the folder from where is at on the desktop it gives error in flash. How would i go about doing the import so it will read from a website directory.
package

Please help with bean package problem - serlvet can't find package

Hi,
I'm fairly new to java web development, and I can't make any good learning progress due to an error I just can't seen to fix. It seems humiliatingly trivial, but I can't get past it.
Explanation:
I'm experimenting with beans, and I've created a very simple servlet called AppSetup to create a LinkBean instance and store it in the servlet context for later retrieval. My problem is that the servlet wont compile because it's telling me the package in which the LinkBean class file is in doesn't exist.
The servlet is in package org, and the bean is in package org.bean. This is the import statement in the servlet:
Code:
import org.bean.*;I've also tried:
Code:
import org.bean.LinkBean;and
Code:
import bean.*;I've tried all sorts of different package structures, but I get the same following error for all of them:
Quote:
C:\tomcat\webapps\chub\WEB-INF\classes\org>javac AppSetup.java
AppSetup.java:14: package org.bean does not exist
import org.bean.*;
^
AppSetup.java:19: cannot find symbol
symbol : class LinkBean
location: class org.AppSetup
LinkBean lb;
^
AppSetup.java:23: cannot find symbol
symbol : class LinkBean
location: class org.AppSetup
lb = new LinkBean();
^
3 errors
edit
Server is Tomcat 5.5
Any help would be greatly appriciated. Thanks.

The bean class has to be in the classpath. The classpath variable informs the compiler\jvm where to find the .class files that are being referred.
To set a classpath,
javac -classpath C:\tomcat\webapps\chub\WEB-INF\classes;C:\tomcat\webapps\chub\WEB-INF\lib;C:\tomcat\common\lib;.; AppSetup.javaThere are 3 paths in the classpath variable above.
1.\WEB-INF\classes => Your class files
2. \WEB-INF\lib => Your app library files (.jar files)
3. \common\lib => common library .jar files
4 The dot (.) => current directory.

Help with fixing package

Almost a year ago, the SVN URL for the redeclipse-svn package changed. At that time, it was orphaned, so I adopted the package and fixed the URL in the PKGBUILD. Since then, I stopped playing the game. Now, when I try to install it on my new computer, the package function fails. Being inexperienced with PKGBUILDS, etc., I would like some help in fixing the package.
Here's the package function:
cd "$srcdir/$_svnmod"
make -C src/ DESTDIR="$pkgdir" prefix=/usr \
appname=redeclipse cappname=REDECLIPSE \
appsrcname=redeclipse \
system-install
install -Dm644 doc/all-licenses.txt "$pkgdir/usr/share/licenses/$pkgname/LICENSE"
And here's what I get when I try to makepkg:

Sorry for derailing this. Karol, the size was only an issue for me - that doesn't seem to be related to the OPs problems. I don't know where the 800MB figure came from, but nearly 2GB of space were used up before the svn checkout stalled due to running out of space - the download never even completed. I didn't try again after that as my download speed isn't that good and it would take a long while to just confirm what I already suspected about the Makefile.

Need help with function (package)

HI,
Here is my scenario
I have a package (stored procedure), and 3 functions and 1 procedure. Procedure calls all the functions to fetch data. I am having a trouble in accessing one of the functions. I need to count the number of records satisfy my where clause. Following is my example.
FUNCTION S_LEVEL (ME_NO IN VARCHAR2, STDATE IN DATE, ENDATE IN DATE) RETURN NUMBER AS LEVEL NUMBER;
SELECT COUNT(*)
FROM --- xS, -- SP
WHERE XS.SRVNBR = SP.NBR
AND XS.MEMBER_NBR = ME_NO
AND ((XS.DIR IN ('2824','28241','28242','5173','28952')
and xs.date between stdate and endate;
RETURN LEVEL;
END s_level
Now when I call this function from procedure (through a Crystal report), it never return anything and just freeze. Could someome please guide me what I am doing wrong or how it is supposed to be done?
Please help me, I will really appreciate your time and efforts.

Khurram,
It's always a bad idea to use a reserved word to name something, regardless whether Oracle allows it or not.
Sooner or later you'll run into trouble.

Help! Need help with preflight package script

I am trying to write a package with Iceberg to push Office 2004 to 250 Macs. I need a preflight script with a condition that will stop my script if /Applications/Microsoft Office 2004 exists OR if OFFICE 2004 exists. Don't know if searching on the folder name is the best or if there is better way

I don't know how to do conditions (If, then, end)
