How to find rejected rows using External Table

Hi all,
I had written a stored procedure to read comma(,) separated flat file using External Tables in oracle 9i with Reject Limit "Unlimited" Option. Sometimes all rows are successfully loaded into external table and sometimes some rows are failed, I can find out those rows from logfile created by oracle. I want to inserted those rows key values into some other table. Can any body suggest/links how to write this.
Thanking you in advance

"Is there a way to have the system truncate the log files besides some O/S utility that will scour the directory every night, week, etc.?"
You can use UTL_FILE.FREMOVE to delete the file, if you have sufficient privileges. You can schedule it using DBMS_JOB if you like or run it before you recreate the file, as demonstrated below. The pl/sql block to check whether the file exists is used for demonstration purposes only and is not necessary. This is just one method. There are various ways to delete or truncate a file. This just seems like the simplest.

Not that I know of, but that does not mean that somebody else doesn't know how or isn't able to figure out a way. If you do find a way, please post it for the benefit of the rest of us.

Mutiple Rows from a Single Row using SQL

How can i get Multiple rows from a single row using sql ?
Example : one row contains the complete address separated by delimiter say comma (,) as address1,address2,city,state,zip,country
I want to split this row and get the output in multiple rows as address1 address2 city state zip country using sql query.
Thanks,

Hi,
The solution above assumes that the |-delimited entries always contain at least one character. If you have a string like
1 Elm Street|||Sioux City|IA||it will think 'Siuox City' is address2.
If you have empty entries, like that, then you need something a little more complicated:
INSERT INTO table2
(       address1
,     address2
,     address3
,     city
,     state
,     postal
,     country
SELECT     SUBSTR (REGEXP_SUBSTR ('|' || txt, '\|[^|]*', 1, 1), 2)     -- address1
,     SUBSTR (REGEXP_SUBSTR ('|' || txt, '\|[^|]*', 1, 2), 2)     -- address2
,     SUBSTR (REGEXP_SUBSTR ('|' || txt, '\|[^|]*', 1, 3), 2)     -- address3
,     SUBSTR (REGEXP_SUBSTR ('|' || txt, '\|[^|]*', 1, 4), 2)     -- city
,     SUBSTR (REGEXP_SUBSTR ('|' || txt, '\|[^|]*', 1, 5), 2)     -- state
,     SUBSTR (REGEXP_SUBSTR ('|' || txt, '\|[^|]*', 1, 6), 2)     -- postal
,     SUBSTR (REGEXP_SUBSTR ('|' || txt, '\|[^|]*', 1, 7), 2)     -- country

How to find process chain using background job in sm37

How to find process chain using background job in sm37

Better is to select the job.
Select (Define) Step (s) or F6.
Select the line and Menu Goto>Variant.
The variant contains the name of the CHAIN and its VARIANT.
Success
We faced an old job and via job monitoring we were informed about a cancelled job every 'interval'.
We noticed that the related chain was deleted but still the job was scheduled each interval again and was cancelled because an event was missing
We could not find the scheduled job via SM37.
Via view V_OP, view over tbtco abd tbtcp, we find the related entry.
We delete these entries via function BP_JOB_DELETE....

How to find report values using report writer

How to find report values using report writer
Regards,
RRK.
Edited by: Alvaro Tejada Galindo on Feb 6, 2008 12:01 PM

Thanks all for the reply.
I am trying to solve a problem where report parameter value that is set at Management Console is wiped out after calling replaceConnection.
databaseController.replaceConnection(oldConnectionInfo, newConnectionInfo,
null,DBOptions._doNotVerifyDB);
We have to support changing database connection from a java utility
class. But once replaceConnection is called all existing static parameter values are lost. To fix this issue we thought of getting parameters and values before calling replaceConnection and setting it after replaceConnection.
Version is CS2008 SP3 - version 12.3.0.601
If there is any other option of fixing the original wipe out issue?
ParameterValues.getValues() didn't return value. I will try ParameterValues.getCurrentCalues() but the document says ParameterValues.getValues() is equivalent to the IParameterField.getCurrentValues() method unless it is empty, in which case it is equivalent to the IParameterField.getDefaultValues() method.
So getCurrentValues() may not work.

Hi,
Why don't you use the OEM Database Console ?? Now, in order to view the contents of the alert log file using a SELECT statement, you need to create a external table:
create or replace

How to find Port numbers used by RMI application

Hi, hope u all find me a solution, how to find port numbers used in the RMI application, that is port number which the RMI application communicates between RMIserver and RMIclient. ur answers would b highly appreciated

Currently RMI transport layer does not directly expose any public methods to get the listening ports of the exported RMI objects, but the application can always export RMI server objects at certain designated ports instead of relying on the RMI runtime by specifying them to UnicastRemoteObjcect at the time of exporting.
RMI transport layer try to optimize the number of listeing sockets by exporting all RMI server objects on a single port if no explicit ports were chosen. If the application is really interested in knowing the listeing ports, it can always specify the client and server socket factories to be used for creating Socket and ServerSocket to the RMI runtime at the time of exporting. When a RMI server object is exported, but the listening socket is not yet created, RMI transport layer invokes the createServerSocket(host, port) of server socket factory by passing the host and port details. If no explicit port is specified, underlying socket implementation choses anonymous port. At this point of time application can log these listeing ports to some log file.
Similarly when the stub to the remote object is de-serialized in the client address space, it does also contain the client socket factory along with the end point details (host, port and server object ID). RMI runtime in the client address space needs to establish connection with the remote server object, it try to get the socket from client socket factory by invoking createSocket() on the client socket factory. Now the application can call getLocalPort() on the socket before returning it to the RMI transport layer.
There is a undocumented class RMIStat to dump RMI runtime state information. It provides a lot of static methods to dump RMI state information like object table, transports, threads etc. You can download the source code of this utility from RMI archives, but remember this is not a comman-line utility, you must invoke these static methods as part of the application code.
