How to debug PL/SQL function in Apex

Hi,
I have a process in Apex that uses a PL/SQL function. When I compiled it in SQLPlus, it had no errors, yet when running it in Apex, I get an error.
'Encountered unhandled exception in process type PLSQL' in the debug message. What's the best way to handle this? Thanks.

Hi -
Its hard to say without seeing the code of your process, but are you sure you are submitting any required paramaters to your process from the calling apge in Apex?
Have you checked the Session to see what values it holds, and have you turned on Debug in Apex to see the code executing (or at least the call to your process)?
Good luck.

How to debug PL/SQL functions? Passing parameter and debugger error

Hi,
How to debug a PL/SQL function in JDeveloper? There are two problems with it:
1) Don't see how it's possible to pass parameters required by function call (in the dialog opening after Debug -> Debug FUNCTION_NAME)
2) In a function returning table_name%ROWTYPE (and having a record declaration for table_name%ROWTYPE), debug gives error:
PLS-00103: Encountered symbol "/" when expecting one of ... in line
v_Return PL/SQL RECORD;
Debugging procedures works as expected.

How to call a SQL function from an XSL expression

Hi
In R12, in Payroll Deposit adivce/Check writer, We need to sort the earnings tag <AC_Earnings> in to two different categories as regular and other earnings. In the DB and form level of element defintiion we have a DFF which differentiates between the two kinds of earnings. But the seeded XML that is gerneated by the check writer does not have this field.
The seeded template displays all the earnings in one column. How can we achieve this in the template without modifying the seeded XML.
The one approach i have is to write a function and based on the return value sort the data. For this I need to know :

How to use Pl/Sql function in Discoverer report

Hi Everybody,
Would you be able to provide a workflow/guidance how to use sql function in Discoverer right from creating the function using PLSQL Developer.
(I am new to Oracle environment... prev. worked as analyst with Microsoft Access... took PL/Sql class in school a few years ago)
We are using Discoverer Desktop.
a) Just emailed dba for permission to create pl/sql function.
b) Recently got Discoverer Administrator installed on my pc.
can you pls add to the list:
c)....
d)....
etc.?
tx for your help, sandra

Hi Kranthi,
Thx for your warm words....
The links you provided are great! Thx soooo much!
Thanks to you and the rest of forum members, am able to use what you've all taught me
with other Discoverer reports.... so i was able to do more on my own....
About a month ago, I got access to Discoverer Admin, and was able to paste SQL to create a custom folder.
Then i joined the custom folder to an existing baseline folder.
I have found that sometimes when I use calc within a calc when the calcs use analytic functions, that Discoverer
just displays null in the column. I thought that maybe instead I could create my own function as a work-around.
I wrote IT for permissions to create views, functions etc. Hopefully, they'll approve and can move toward learning
pl/sql functions for Discoverer.
tx again, sandra

How to call pl/sql function from element values

EBS 11.5.10.2
XMLP 5.6.3
Hello,
I noticed that the output of the rdf-to-data template conversion process makes use of an undocumented feature of data templates, and I would like to get input from experts as to which situations this feature is usable.
The closest thing I can find in the documentation is a sample in the user guide. There is a "General Ledger Journals Data Template Example" that has a <dataStructure> section that contains <element> nodes which are NOT children of a <group> node. I can't find any explanation of this in the user guide.
I've noticed from converted templates that in these un-grouped elements you can make calls to PL/SQL functions in the "value" attribute, like this:
<dataStructure>
<group name="G_LINES" source="Q_MAIN">
    <element name="Line_Num"           value="Line_Num"/>
</group>
<element name="C_CALCULATED_VALUE" dataType="number" value="XX_CUSTOMPROCS.SOME_FUNCTION"/>
</dataStructure>Has anyone had any success being able to call PL/SQL functions from grouped elements? Whenever I try, it doesn't seem to work.
When I try something like this:
<dataStructure>
<group name="G_LINES" source="Q_MAIN">
    <element name="Line_Num"           value="Line_Num"/>
    <element name="some_calculation"   value="XX_CUSTOMPROCS.SOME_FUNCTION"/>
    <element name="some_calculation_b" value="XX_CUSTOMPROCS.SOME_FUNCTION_B(:Line_Num)"/>
</group>
<element name="C_CALCULATED_VALUE" dataType="number" value="XX_CUSTOMPROCS.SOME_FUNCTION"/>
</dataStructure>The <SOME_CALCULATION/> and <SOME_CALCULATION_B/> nodes come out empty in the output data xml file, but <C_CALCULATED_VALUE> would have a value as desired.

ah - perfect. That makes sense. Thank you for the response!
But what about when we need to pass parameters to those functions whos values are the results of aggregate element values?
This happens a lot in the converted data templates, where pl/sql package functions are meant to replace formula columns from the original Oracle Report. Take this example from the conversion of ARXAGMW.rdf (Aging Report, 7 Buckets):
(note the function call in the value of "Set_Percent_Inv_Inv" is using aggregate results from subgroups)
<group name="G_INV_INV" dataType="varchar2" source="Q_Invoice">
    <element name="Total_Inv_Inv_Amt" function="sum" dataType="number" value="G_Invoice.C_Amt_Due_Rem_Inv"/>
    <element name="Total_Inv_Inv_B0" function="sum" dataType="number" value="G_Invoice.C_Inv_B0"/>
    <element name="Total_Inv_Inv_B1" function="sum" dataType="number" value="G_Invoice.C_Inv_B1"/>
    <element name="Total_Inv_Inv_B2" function="sum" dataType="number" value="G_Invoice.C_Inv_B2"/>
    <element name="Total_Inv_Inv_B3" function="sum" dataType="number" value="G_Invoice.C_Inv_B3"/>
    <element name="Total_Inv_Inv_B4" function="sum" dataType="number" value="G_Invoice.C_Inv_B4"/>
    <element name="Total_Inv_Inv_B5" function="sum" dataType="number" value="G_Invoice.C_Inv_B5"/>
    <element name="Total_Inv_Inv_B6" function="sum" dataType="number" value="G_Invoice.C_Inv_B6"/>
    <element name="Set_Percent_Inv_Inv" dataType="number" value="XX_CUSTOMPROCS.XXC_ARXAGMW.set_percent_inv_invformula(:Total_Inv_Inv_Amt, :Total_Inv_Inv_B0, :Total_Inv_Inv_B1, :Total_Inv_Inv_B2, :Total_Inv_Inv_B3, :Total_Inv_Inv_B4, :Total_Inv_Inv_B5, :Total_Inv_Inv_B6)"/>

    <group name="G_Cust_Inv" dataType="varchar2" source="Q_Invoice">
      <group name="G_Site_Inv" dataType="varchar2" source="Q_Invoice">
        <group name="G_1" dataType="varchar2" source="Q_Invoice">
          <group name="G_Invoice" dataType="varchar2" source="Q_Invoice">
            <element name="C_Amt_Due_Rem_Inv" dataType="number" value="C_Amt_Due_Rem_Inv"/>
            <element name="C_Inv_B0" dataType="number" value="C_Inv_B0"/>
            <element name="C_Inv_B1" dataType="number" value="C_Inv_B1"/>
            <element name="C_Inv_B2" dataType="number" value="C_Inv_B2"/>
            <element name="C_Inv_B3" dataType="number" value="C_Inv_B3"/>
            <element name="C_Inv_B4" dataType="number" value="C_Inv_B4"/>
            <element name="C_Inv_B5" dataType="number" value="C_Inv_B5"/>
            <element name="C_Inv_B6" dataType="number" value="C_Inv_B6"/>
          </group>
        </group>
      </group>
    </group>
</group>
...All of these groups and sub-groups are based on one single query, so I am not sure how I would move the function call into the query without changing the results of the function.
In the example above, elements Sum_Percent_B0_Inv through Sum_Percent_B6_Inv grab the results of the calculation done in set_percent_inv_invformula. Here is the essence of that function:
sum_percent_b0_inv := ROUND ((total_inv_inv_b0 / total_inv_inv_amt) * 100, 2);
sum_percent_b1_inv := ROUND ((total_inv_inv_b1 / total_inv_inv_amt) * 100, 2);
sum_percent_b2_inv := ROUND ((total_inv_inv_b2 / total_inv_inv_amt) * 100, 2);
sum_percent_b3_inv := ROUND ((total_inv_inv_b3 / total_inv_inv_amt) * 100, 2);
sum_percent_b4_inv := ROUND ((total_inv_inv_b4 / total_inv_inv_amt) * 100, 2);
sum_percent_b5_inv := ROUND ((total_inv_inv_b5 / total_inv_inv_amt) * 100, 2);
sum_percent_b6_inv := ROUND ((total_inv_inv_b6 / total_inv_inv_amt) * 100, 2);The only solution I can think of is to have separate queries, one for each subgroup, that do the "sum" in sql; but that seems terribly inefficient.

How to use PL/SQL Function after registering

Hi,
I have successfully registered a PL/SQL Function within Discw Admin. But i don't know how to use it further??? Please let me know the steps to use it in folders (admin) or in plus.
Actually i have a stored procedure which fetches the records from the base tables and i have to develop a report based on that data.
Please reply ASAP.
Thanks,
Jay

Hi Jay,
If this function is a stored procedure in the right schema, you can access this function in your custom SQL like any other database functions (e.g. SUM, AVG, MAX, etc).
If you are not using a custom folder (ie. your own SQL), you can access this function in the workbook (Tools --> Calculations --> New Button --> Select Function Radio Button --> All Functions or Database Folders.). This calculation wil become a new column in the workbook.

John

How to Debug PL/SQL in SQL Developer?

I am not able to debug PL/SQL and i have following error please advice how I can enable privileges and I want to know the steps of debugging.
Connecting to the database My_connection.
Executing PL/SQL: ALTER SESSION SET PLSQL_DEBUG=TRUE
Executing PL/SQL: CALL DBMS_DEBUG_JDWP.CONNECT_TCP
ORA-01031: insufficient privileges
ORA-06512: at "SYS.DBMS_DEBUG_JDWP", line 68
ORA-06512: at line 1
This session requires DEBUG CONNECT SESSION and DEBUG ANY PROCEDURE user privileges.
Process exited.
Disconnecting from the database My_connection.
Thanks for your time

You need to get the DBA for the database to grant your account the privileges mentioned in the error message.
Once that is done it should just work.
Make sure you compile for debug
You need some way to stop the debugger from just running through the code to the end
- either set breakpoints
- or Use Tools|Preferences|Debugger|Start Debugging Option to Step Into.

How to call PL/SQL function from ODBC

Greetings (and thanks for reading),
I am using Oracle 9i (9.2.0.4) database, running on SUN [sparc] Solaris 9. I have created the following types:
create or replace type NAME_VAL_TYP is object
(NAME varchar2(30)
,VALUE varchar2(30))
create or replace type PARMS_VARRAY_TYP is varray(10) of
NAME_VAL_TYP
/and the following PL/SQL function:
function F0 (P_PARAMS PARMS_VARRAY_TYP) return numberHow do I call this function from ODBC?

Sorry, this is not mapped in the ODBC driver--none of the object types are. The spec doesn't really account for them.

How to register PL/SQL function with Varchar2 argument in Discoverer

Hi,
I have registered a PL/SQL function in Discoverer Administrator 10.1.2.1. Function has two arguments with data type varchar2. In discoverer I've selected varchar as it doesn't have varchar2.
When i use this function in report using discoverer desktop it gives an error "One of the function argument has an incorrect datatype.
I would appreciate if somebody can help
Regards
BA

Hi,
First, do not wait to use it in order to check it.
In the discoverer admin you can "Validate" the function on after registering it.
there are couple of things you should know about registering the function:
1. the "Varchar" option you selected is correct (there is no varchar2 in the admin definition).
2. check the database function to verify that you indeed registered all its arguments and they match the names and types of the db function.
3. during the registration, type everything in UPPER CASE.
the other way to register the function (and you will not need to deal with the definition of it) is to search for the function in a list.
in order to do that, on the register function screen press the "Import" button (on the bottom right side of screen).
then search by the owner (db user / schema) that the function / package is registered.

How do I test sql function in sql*plus?

Hi,
I was given the syntax for a sql function and need to test this in SQL*Plus. What syntax do I use to test this?
p_UserName IN OUT SMUser.Name%type,p_PW IN OUT SMUser.
Password%type) RETURN INTEGER IS
nRet INTEGER :=1;
nCount NUMBER := 0;
BEGIN
select count(*) into nCount from smUser where smUser.Name = p_UserName
and smUser.Password = p_PW;
IF (nCount = 1) THEN
SELECT smUser.Name into p_UserName from smUser where smUser.Name =
p_UserName and smUser.Password = p_PW;
SELECT smUser.Password into p_PW from smUser where smUser.Name =
p_UserName and smUser.Password = p_PW;
RETURN 0;
END IF;
RETURN nRet;
END paulsoraclefunction;
Thanks,
Paul

This should work. You will need to make sure that the variables are declared as the same data type as in the function. Unfortunately, you cannot use %TYPE in declaring SQL*Plus variables.
VARIABLE p_username VARCHAR2(30);
VARIABLE p_pw VARCHAR2(30);
BEGIN
:p_username := 'PAUL';
END;
SELECT paulsoraclefunction(:p_username,:p_pw) FROM dual;
SELECT :p_username,:p_pw FROM dual;

How to debug a RFC function when the user is non-dialog type? Please help!

hi Experts,
I am calling a RFC FM residing in B from R/3 system A.
R/3 A -
Call FM residing in B----
> R/3 B
The user attached to the remote destination is a non-dialog type.
I cannot change the user type of this user.
Therefore how to debug the RFC FM in System A?
Are there any alternatives?
Please help
Thanks
Gopal

in your RFC FM, code an endlees loop.
something like:
data: gv_x type xfeld value 'X'.
do.
if gv_x = space.
exit.
endif.
enddo.
now you can catch the mode in TA SM50, go in it, change gv_x to space and debug what is coming further.

How to set pl/sql function as background job in apex?

Hi,
I wrote a function which returns boolean value based on result.This function updates a table everyday.How to set this as a background job?or do I need to use dbms_job only?
Thanks,
Mahender.

No, you can use APEX_PLSQL_JOB.
Example:
DECLARE
l_sql VARCHAR2(4000);
l_job NUMBER;
BEGIN
l_sql := 'BEGIN MY_PACKAGE.MY_PROCESS; END;';
l_job := APEX_PLSQL_JOB.SUBMIT_PROCESS(
p_sql => l_sql,
p_status => 'Background process submitted');
--store l_job for later reference
END;
