Invalid database objects

Hi all,
I am suddenly getting about 700 database objects as invalid in my 10.1.0.5 database. Does anyone have a sql script to track the dependency of database objects so that I find out the culprit object causing others to become invalid?
Thanks,

using the following will give you objects which had the first.. last ddl event and became invalid..
select owner,
object_name,
object_type,
to_char (last_ddl_time, 'DD-MM-YYYY hh:mi:ss') lastddltime
from dba_objects do
where status = 'INVALID'
and exists
(select null
from dba_dependencies dd
where do.owner = dd.referenced_owner
and do.object_name = dd.referenced_name
and do.object_type = dd.referenced_type)
order by last_ddl_time
try to compile the first object and it must give you which error/object produced the tree effect...
hope it helps...

Note 1054131 - Invalid DB objects after upgrade

HI,
We performed a migration from SAP 4.6C/Oracle9i.solaris to SAP 4.6C/Oracle10g/HPUX.
Now we need to upgrade SAP4.6C/Oracle10g/HPUX to ECC6.0.
As a prerequisite, I have checked the note
Note 1054131 - Invalid DB objects after upgrade
And I ran the script
SQL> SELECT OWNER, OBJECT_NAME, OBJECT_TYPE FROM DBA_OBJECTS
2 WHERE STATUS='INVALID'
3 AND
4 OWNER='SYS';
OWNER
OBJECT_NAME
OBJECT_TYPE         STATUS
SYS
DBMS_REPCAT_FLA
PACKAGE BODY        INVALID
SYS
DBMS_REPCAT_MAS
PACKAGE BODY        INVALID
OWNER

PACKAGE BODY        INVALID
SYS
DBMS_REDEFINITION
OWNER
OBJECT_NAME
OBJECT_TYPE         STATUS
PACKAGE BODY        INVALID
All the invalid objects are package body, can anyone help me how to proceed with this, can I proceed my upgrade to ECC 6.0 or do I need to delete the package body.
If I want to delete the package body,can you pl give me the commands and also post which whether I need to execute any steps
Pl help
Thanks

Hi,
I guess you are talking about the Oracle Upgrade and not ECC Upgrade, as following are the pre-requisites for an ECC upgrade.
Making Database-Specific Preparations for Oracle
1. Check the value of parameter shared_pool_size:
4 Preparation
Making Preparations at the Database Level
Oracle 9.2: Check the value in file $ORACLE_HOME/dbs/init<SID>.ora.
Oracle 10.1 and higher:
select NAME, VALUE from v$parameter where name=shared_pool_size;
select NAME, VALUE from v$parameter where name=shared_pool_reserved_size;
If the value is lower than 150 MB, increase it to at least 150 MB (400 MB is better), and restart the
database.
2. Log on as user <sapsid>adm at the operating system level.
3. Log on to the database as the Oracle user system with sqlplus
4. Check the resource quotas of the database user SAPR3 or SAP<SAPSID>:
Oracle error 1536 can occur during the upgrade if the resource quotas of database user SAPR3
orSAP<SAPSID> are limited. Make sure that these quotas are unlimited. Check whether the table
DBA_SYS_PRIVS contains one of the following entries:
grantee=SAPR3/SAP<SAPSID>,privilege=UNLIMITED TABLESPACE,adm=YES
grantee=SAPR3/SAP<SAPSID>,privilege=UNLIMITED TABLESPACE,adm=NO
To do this, enter the following SQLPLUS statement:
select * from dba_sys_privs where grantee = SAPR3/SAP<SAPSID>;
If this entry does not exist, enter the SQLPLUS statement:
grant unlimited tablespace to sapr3/SAP<SAPSID>;
5. Log off from the database with the command quit.
6. Only if using the dictionary managed tablespaces function:
Make sure that the storage parameters MAXEXTENTS and NEXT have the correct values for certain tables and indexes. Otherwise, they may overflow during the upgrade. The Oracle-specific upgrade SAP Note contains the tables and the required minimum values.You can display the current settings with BRSPACE. The index names are not constant. However, you can also determine these names with BRSPACE. SAP Note 11777 describes how to change the parameters NEXT and MAXEXTENTS.
7. Only valid for: SAP R/3 3.1I
Make sure that parameter OPTIMIZER_MODE is set to OPTIMIZER_MODE=RULE.
For Oracle 9.2, check and, if necessary, edit the following Oracle profile:
$ORACLE_HOME/dbs/init<SAPSID>.ora
For Oracle 10.1. and higher, use the following statements:
Sqlplus /nolog
Connect /as sysdba
Alter system set OPTIMIZER_MODE=RULE scope=spfile;
8. Only if you do not switch off archiving during the upgrade:
If you want to leave brarchive running during the upgrade to avoid archiver stuck situations (brarchive -f ...), proceed as follows:
a) Create a temporary copy of brarchive:
4 Preparation
4.23 Making Preparations at the SAP System Level
cp /usr/sap/<SAPSID>/SYS/exe/run/brarchive /tmp
b) Start brarchive as user ora<sapsid> from the temporary directory /tmp/brarchive -f ...
c) After the upgrade, delete the copy of brarchive.
This procedure avoids upgrade errors caused by the program files being overwritten during the upgrade.
9. If your database version is already higher than the minimum version for the new release, we recommend that you exchange the DBA tools (such as BRSPACE) for the upgrade. The Database Software Oracle DVD for the database contains the up-to-date tools that you unpacked on the current kernel when you migrated the database. After you execute PREPARE, unpack this archive again into the exe subdirectory of the upgrade directory. This overwrites the DBA tools optimized for the minimum required database version with the tools best suited to your database version.
And if you are talking about an Oracle Upgrade then you just need these to compare once you have upgraded to 10g.
3.9 Checking for Invalid Database Objects
This optional step lets you check if there are any invalid database objects before the database upgrade to Oracle database 10g starts. After the upgrade it helps you distinguish database objects that have become invalid due to the upgrade process from those that were already invalid to start with.
Procedure
1. Execute the following commands:
SQL> spool invalid_objects
SQL> select unique object_name, object_type, owner from dba_objects where status
= 'INVALID';
SQL> @?/rdbms/admin/utlrp.sql
SQL> select unique object_name, object_type, owner from dba_objects where status
= 'INVALID';
SQL> spool off
A list of invalid objects before the upgrade is now generated.
2. Check the list of invalid objects after the upgrade.
If any objects in the list from before the upgrade are also in the list of invalid objects after the upgrade, you can be sure that this is not due to the upgrade process.

Suhas

Invalid DataStore object name /BIC/B0005712

Hi Frnds,
I was trying to execute a PSA deletion step on one Datasource. In that process I got the below error.
Error msg: Invalid DataStore object name /BIC/B0005712: Reason: No valid entry in table RSTS.
Do, I need to maintain anything related to this Datasource in the table RSTS. if so....what it could be ?
Or Do we have any other solution ?
Thank you.
NGR.

Hi,
In my case,
Inspite of going through several valid NOTES & program, my issue didnt resolve.
I have resolved the issue by adjusting the PSA table for the same.
Procedure:
Take the psa name --> go to table rstsods --> find the ODSNAME_TECH name for the relevant psa --> se38 t.code --> enter ODSNAME_TECH and click on 'adjust & activate database table' (make sure you have selected 'save data' radio button.
Just in case anyone who come across this problem, can do the above steps.

Why the err Invalid database Connection -CR 11 version in Visual studio 1.1

Hai all,
I am new to using the Crystal report with Visual studio 2003.I am facing Invalid database connection problem. My objective is tyring to upgrade CR 8 to CR11 with VS 1.1 framework(VC++ in .NET 2003).All things like ODBC connection with MS SQL server 2005,generating report going fine with CR8 version but invalid database connection error comes with CR11 version. The configuration details and Code snippet are below for your ref,
Upgrading CR8 to CR11 with VS .NET 2003.
Application framework - VS 1.1 framework
CR                            - 11 Version
DB                            - MS SQL server 2005
Connection                - ODBC
DLL                          - CRPE32 DLL (Version11)
Code snippet:
CODBCDatabase * pDatabase = pApp->GetDatabase();
BOOL bRes;
bRes = ::PELogOnSQLServerWithPrivateInfo(_T("pdsodbc.DLL"), pDatabase->m_hdbc);
Note: pdsodbc dll not found in local and anywhere.But it supports CR 8 but not CR 11.So i downloaded and put it in appropriate place exe path\system32\system and tested.Used and tested p2sodbc dll also but "Invalid DataBase connection" err came.Followed some instruction like changing the Data source name,DSN path,re installing CR 11 version and all but same problem coming.
::PELogOnSQLServerWithPrivateInfo() declation is in the following link

Thanks for your reply
   The API i have given is not available in Crystal report 11.So i tried with the PELogonServer API of version 11.It also failed.
I am unable to understand the suggestions you gave to me 1) The Report Designer Component (RDC)
2) The CR Assemblies for .NET.
Can you give any link that have related samples or articles to implement the above topics please?
Thanks again,

Error 820D - Invalid database - truncated to 0 bytes

Hi Forum.
I'm importing Mail into an account and every time I ran into the following error when the ofuser DB file size hit the 2gb.
POA Log:
10:05:37 F403 The database function 44 reported error [820D] on userq4f.db

Suggestion- No direct recovery possible. Attempt to recover file from external backup.
If no backup exists, request explicit structural rebuild from Admin and the
database will be replaced by valid empty database, to allow re-create.
However, all data previously contained in the database will be lost!
It seems to me that there is a limitation somewhere but I don't get exact information where?
I found nothing about the 820D in the error code documentation...
Someone experienced this ever? Can someone explain that?
Thanks in advance,

Validation of database object names

Hello. I need a function that can check whether a given string is a valid database object name. For example:
IsValid('col1') -> Yes
IsValid('col 1') -> No
IsValid('1col') -> No
Is there any build in the Oracle or does anyone have such an UDF?
Thank is advance.

You can use the wildly inappropriately named comma_to_table procedure. It checks the name and generates an exception if it is not valid.
SQL> var s varchar2(30)
SQL> exec :s := 'col1'
PL/SQL procedure successfully completed.
SQL> declare
2    u dbms_utility.uncl_array;
3    n pls_integer;
4 begin
5    dbms_utility.comma_to_table(:s,n,u);
6    dbms_output.put_line ('Valid:   ' || :s);
7 exception
8    when others then
9      dbms_output.put_line ('Invalid: ' || :s);
10 end;
11 /

Import offline database objects doesn't always work

import offline database objects doesn't work when database table to import has a Date column with a default value NULL.
Return message:
An error was encountered:
table.column
table.column Datatype DATE "NULL"
Invalid default value expression : NULL expected a Date or Timestamp expression.
JDev 10.1.3

Any ETA on when this will be fixed? We work with the Siebel CRM products and the underlying data model is full of DATE fields whose default value is NULL. As a result, there are very few tables which can be imported for diagramming.

How to get the List of Database Objects (Table/View) for a given APEX Page.

Hi,
I have an application and that consist of pages like page1,2,3,.....
*1.* I want a report which can give me the list of all the Pages1,2,3,....
I am using the following query to acheive this.... THIS IS FINE..
select a.workspace, a.owner, a.application_name, b.page_id, b.page_name
from apex_applications a,
apex_application_pages b
where a.workspace = b.workspace
and a.application_id = b.application_id*2. Now, I want for each individual page*, the list all the database objects (tables/views), which that page is using.
I am using ALL_DEPENDENCIES , but I am not getting the result.
So, want to know if there any view/table, where I can get the Application Pages & there database object list...
Thanks,
Deepak

Hari,
Thanks for the response.
The view APEX_APPLICATION_PAGE_DB_ITEMS will only give me the table name related to any Page Items defined to that page..It will not give me all the database objects..
suppose we have a Page, having a report based on multiple tables and there is no Page items defined on that page, we will not have any value in this ....DB_ITEMS table. same thing if we have define some PL|SQL(using some table/view) in a Process, that will not be populated in .....DB_ITEMS table. I want some thing like all the database objects (table/views/function/procedure/.....) for a particular Page ID.
Thanks,
Deepak

Forced to remap one database object at a time

Our application exposes a set of data objects (views) for external reporting. Field/row level data security conditions are built into the view definitions. Different access levels are segmented by schema names and in order to enable report reuse object names are identical between schemas.
Users granted schema rights based on their access level.
For example, user A is granted access only to the schema X which contains View1, View2, etc. while user B is granted access only to the schema Y which also contains View1, View2, etc.
User A can reuse report created by user B (since object names are identical), however s/he cannot do it without first changing the data source location (since their access levels and therefore schema names are different).
However, "Set Datasource Location" dialog (see sample screenshot below) does not allow one-click schema remapping. "Current Data Source" hierarchy does not directly expose schema name (it is listed as an "Owner" property of the individual table/view object) which forces user to remap one database object at a time by expanding top and bottom trees, highlighting matching objects and clicking "Update" button.
Our question is: are there any menu items/settings or any other facilities in Crystal Report that would allow us to make re-mapping process less time-consuming?

Hi Len,
No, bottom line is the designer is used to "finalize" the report. It's not designed to be use this way. What I suggest you do is create an application that can set location/schema at view time to that person logging in. This way it's all done in the back end and relatively easy to do using one of our SDK's.
Depending on what development tool and Report engine you use depends on which forum to post your question to. SAP will not create the application for you so you will need to get a developer involved.

it looks like not all objects are created for XX_BPEL_CREATEUSEMP
synonyms and all grants are there ?

I'm grateful that SQL Developer peacefully coexists with earlier versions.
Anything I can do?
Thanks.

Hi,
I cannot seem to find a bug or forum reference for this issue at the moment, but I recall there was some problem on 10g connections where SQL Developer thinks you have DBA view privileges even when you don't. So, on 11g, a user with very basic privileges can do a Find DB Object without seeing the error you got on 10.2.0.4. On 10.2.0.x you should be able to workaround the problem if you can arrange to get grant select_catalog_role for that userid.

Database schema SCM does not contain the associated database objects

I am getting the following error when i am trying to migrate the form to apex using application migration.
"*Database schema SCM does not contain the associated database objects for the project, aafs.*
*Ensure the database schema associated with the project contains the database objects associated with the uploaded Forms Module .XML file(s).* ".
Actully i am having one schema which i named as SCM, and i have defined one table TT.
I created one form test.fmb in which i used TT table.its compiled successfully.
Then i generated the xml file using frmf2xml from fmb file. After that, I created the project in appication migration wizard in SCM schema.
Project creattion is working fine.but when i m trying to create application,it is showing me above error.
can any one help in solving this problem.

Hi Hilary,
Thanks for your response/feedback.
1. The schema associated with the project does not contain the necessary objects Can you please verify that the schema associated with your Forms conversion project does in fact contain the objects associated with the uploaded files. Could you also verify that the object names referenced in the error message do not exist within the schema associated with your workspace. Ensure that the schema associated with the project contains the necessary database objects before proceeding to the generation phase of the conversion process.
Ans:
Yes it does contain the objects (See results from SQL query Commands below):
SELECT MWRA_CONTRACT_NO, OLD_CONTRACT_NO FROM PROJECTS@CONTRACT_LX19.MWRA.NET
ORDER BY MWRA_CONTRACT_NO
000000569 551TA
000000570 553TA
000000575 560TA
000000576 561TA
000107888 502TA
000108498 500TA
000108502 503TA
2. The block being converted contains buttons, which may have been incorrectly identified as database columns, and included in the original or enhanced query associated with your block This is a known issue ,bug 9827853, and a fix will be available in our upcoming 4.0.1 patch release. Some possible solutions to this issue are:
-> delete the buttons before generating the XML
-> delete the button tags from the XML
-> add "DatabaseItem=No" for the button in the XML file before importing it in Apex.The button is excluded when creating the Application.
Ans
yes it does contain push buttons to transfer to another forms and these are defined as Non data base items. Parial XML code provided below:
- <Item Name="REPORTS" FontSize="900" DirtyInfo="true" Height="188" XPosition="4409" FontName="Fixedsys" ForegroundColor="black" DatabaseItem="false" Width="948" CompressionQuality="None" YPosition="3709" FontSpacing="Normal" Label="REPORTS" BackColor="canvas" FillPattern="transparent" ShowHorizontalScrollbar="false" FontWeight="Medium" ShowVerticalScrollbar="false" FontStyle="Plain" ItemType="Push Button">

3. If you are still experiencing issues, then please create a testcase on apex.oracle.com and update this thread with the workspace details so I can take a look.
Test case details are given below. It was created per ORACLE for open Service Request Number 3-1938902931 on ORACLE Metalink.
Workspace: contract4
username: [email protected] (my email)

Comments:
For my migration/testing purpose a dabatase link and synonyms have been setup by our ORACLE DBA. Could this be causing this problem?
Do we know when the fix 4.0.1 patch release will be available?

Acrobat.exe closed by Windows & "invalid annotation object"

While I am editing comments with Acrobat 9.3.1, I get a Windows error "acrobat.exe ..... closed by Windows"
Then when I open the PDF document, I get "invalid annotation object" error, and the file is corrupted and not usable any more.
Please advise me what steps I need to take to this frequent errors on my computer. Thanks.

I too had a Multi Page PDF that had the same "invalid annotation object".
I was able to open & use the damaged using Tracker Software - PDF Viewer - PDFXCview (free software - Google it)
The file opened without error in PDFXCview and I was able to save it, but reopen in Acrobat still had the error.
I re-opened it in PDFXCview and deleated the comments on the page that Acrobat reported the "invalid annotation object", and was able to save the file, which now opens in Acrobat without the error.

"Invalid Annotation Object" error

I'm using Windows XP Pro (SP3) on a 2.66 GHz, 2 GB RAM computer, and while working in an Adobe Acrobat 9 document, I had just saved the file (CTRL+S) and the document froze and I got a Windows error box that asked if I wanted to send an error report, which I did. When I opened Adobe again, it asked if I wanted to open the last file which didn't save correctly, which I did.
Then when I proceeded to work in the document and tried to highlight a sentence I was going to delete, I got an Adobe Acrobat popup box that said "Invalid Annotation Object. OK" but no matter how many times I clicked on "OK," the box kept popping up and wouldn't go away. I tried saving a copy of the document, but the same box was in it and wouldn't go away. I couldn't even work in the document to extract pages or anything else. Huge problem!
Does anyone know what can I do to resolve this problem? (This happened on a Saturday when Adobe phone support is not accessible.)

On 3/24/2015 same problems, after Adobe Acrobat 9 pro. crashed while I added text boxes.. When I opened Adobe again, Yes to open the last file which didn't save correctly, then "Invalid Annotation Object" errors on my .pdf file of 96 pages
- first, I had to acknowledge/click the OK button until all " invalid annotation objects" error pop-up windows are gone
(for my file with 96 pages, i had to hit the OK button more than hundreds times - need patience)
- then found out (later) that what I did turn out to be the same steps as following post by davidsdomingo in adobe.forums

Here is a technique for identifying all the pages that have invalid annotation objects on them:
1. Document > Extract Pages ...
•Select the checkbox for "Extract Pages As Separate Files"
•Set the destination to a 'dedicated' folder that won't contain any other files -- that way, you can simply delete the folder when this process is done.
•Click OK.
2. During the extraction, click OK in all the message boxes that appear.
3. After the extraction, look in the destination folder to see which pages are missing. Those are the pages that have invalid annotation objects.
From this point you can try to delete the objects, or simply delete and replace the pages, or implement a different solution. Hope this helps someone.
- after extract the 96-pages file into individual files into a dedicated folder, only 95 got extracted and page 1 was not/can not be extracted.
- I then combined the 95 good extracted pages into a new file name .pdf
- then inserted a good page 1 without error (from the file that was saved previous day, prior to all the changes I made on the corrupted file), re work on page 1
- delete the bad file.
Hope this helps someone.

"Invalid annotation object" on only two of six computers.

When searching for the resolution to this error I keep seeing that the PDF is corrupt when people get the error "Invalid annotation object". But I have a office that has eight workstations and only two are getting the error. To further complicate issues I downloaded Adobe Reader on one of the machines and it does not get the error either. All of the machines on the network are using Adobe Acrobat 9.
The steps we have taken to try to resolve the issue on one of the computers:
Ran the repair of Adobe from the help.
Checked for updates. None were found, it was fully updated.
Downloaded malware scanners - RKill, Malwarebytes and AdwCleaner. All found nothing.
Removed Adobe Pro and tried Adobe Standard.
After all these steps we still get the error on the machine, but if we go to the computer in the next room it will open it fine with no errors. We can also open the same document on that computer with Adobe Reader and get no errors.
One way to bypass the error is to use the arrow keys to navigate the document. The error only happens when navigating by using the mouse.
Any and all help would be greatly appreciated.
Thank you.

Jenny,
Look at where the problem computer is getting its time/date from (System Preferences>Date/Time), then compare that to one of the functional computers. It might not be syncing up with the Exchange server time-wise, which will cause problems.
Good luck
