MKS Toolkit problem

Hi,
We are trying to do some DR testing. We setup a new Linux server, and copy the entire /u01 back.
The system runs, but when we need to print invoice, they come up with MKS Toolkit problem.
Can you tell us how we can resolve this?
Thanks.

You can update the DISPLAY in XML context file using OAM (Oracle Applications Manager) or editcontext utility as follows:
Note: Autoconfig Context File on Apps tier of your server is located in directory $APPL_TOP/admin/<CONTEXT_NAME>.xml
If you want to use OAM to update context file:
- Login to Oracle Applications Manager
http://<hostname>.<domainname>:<port>/servlets/weboam/oam/oamLogin
- Navigate to "Site Map" > System Configuration: AutoConfig
- Select checkbox next to context file for Tier = Applications
- Click in proper [Edit Parameters] cell
- Select tab [Environments]
- Open tree for oa_environment:generic_service
- First variable is "X11 Display". Update it with X server host name like <hostname_x_server>:0.0
- Press [Save]
- Click [OK]
- Run AutoConfig on apps tier to propagate changes to all environment files
cd $COMMON_TOP/admin/scripts/<SID>_<hostname>
adautocfg.sh
- Restart the application services
If you can't use OAM, please download the Context Editor utility as Patch 2873456. Follow the instructions in Readme to install it.
- On Apps tier the Context Editor is located at: $COMMON_TOP/util/editcontext/
- Run the Context Editor "editcontext"
- Enter the full path to your Context File and click Next
- Context File is located in $APPL_TOP/admin/<CONTEXT_NAME>.xml
- The second screen shows the current values in your context and allows you to edit them. The values displayed on this screen are the main values in the Context File. Click Detail to display all of the editable values in the Context File. Move the mouse over the field titles to display a more detailed description of the field
- Update variable DISPLAY with X server host name
- Click Next
- Save all changes
- Run AutoConfig on apps tier to propagate changes to all environment files
cd $COMMON_TOP/admin/scripts/<SID>_<hostname>
adautocfg.sh
- Restart the application services
Now Oracle Applications is configured to use X server of <x_server_node>

MKS Toolkit for Oracle Financials

Hello,
While installing Oracle Financials 11, I received an error that says the following
==========================================
System Utilities Check : command : cmd.exe /c C:\Stage11i\startCD\Disk1\rapidwiz\bin\checkutil.cmd C:\mksnt C:\VC98
C:\Stage11i\startCD\Disk1\rapidwiz>echo off
'which' command is not available. Check MKS installation.
ERRORCODE = 1 ERRORCODE_END
Error - System Utilities Availability test has returned an error: 1
=====================================
Some other posts in this newsgroup say that by installing MKS Toolkit this problem will go away. But MKS Toolkit is available for $500 or so for single user license.
Question 1. I don't want to do any development on this install. Can I ignore this warning? Will I be able to use the app?
Question 2. Is there any alternative to MKS Toolkit? Some folks said to use cygwin, but FAQ says that it was not supported.
Thank you.

Rahul,
It is possible to install the initial Oracle applications code and database for 11i.10 without the MKS Toolkit.
However, once you have the base install completed, you will probably want to install the Cumulative Update 1 (CU1) patch, or install other patches.
Without the MKS Toolkit (and Visual C++, and GNUMAKE) you will not be able to install any patches requiring a relink of application executables.
It would be theoretically possible to replace these tools with something like CYGWIN, but it will be A LOT of effort.

Unable to generate proper LDTs using mks toolkit on windows server.

Hi Experts,
We have installed EBS12.0.3 on windows XP platforms and to access the unix commands we are using mks toolkit verison 9.2
But we are not able to generate the correct ldt files for data migration.
The fndload command used to download ldt for alert is as mentioned below:
FNDLOAD apps/apps 0 Y DOWNLOAD %ALR_TOP%/patch/115/import/alr.lct FILE_NAME.ldt ALR_ALERTS APPLICATION_SHORT_NAME='PER' Alert_name='XX Alert Name'
The generated ldt file is:

Hi,
We have compared the LDt with the one generated with UNIX.
We are completely missing the data definition of the object.
Also today we tried to download LDT's for concurent program and request group, and request group Ldt is successfully downloaded but for concurrent program again it downloaded only entity definition and then failed to download object's data definition.
the commands used were:
Request group:
FNDLOAD apps/apps 0 Y DOWNLOAD %FND_TOP%/patch/115/import/afcpreqg.lct File_Name.ldt REQUEST_GROUP REQUEST_GROUP_NAME="Global HRMS Reports & Process" APPLICATION_SHORT_NAME="PER" UNIT_NAME='Concurrent Program Short Name'
Concurrent Program:

MKS Toolkit 9.2 32 bit or 64 bit install on Windows Server 2008 64 bit

Hi Hussein,
I have single node installation with the below
12.1.3 is running on Windows Server 2008 (32 bit) with 11.1.0.7 database (32 bit).
We would like to split the DB Tier to 64 bit Machine and convert the database from 32bit yo 64 bit database to get benefits from 64bit database.
Hence, Need to prepare other machine with 64bit windows server 2008 machine with 64 bit oracle software. I would like to install MKS Tool Kit 9.2. Here I have doubt that, which MKS Toolkit bit version 32 bit or 64 bit needs to install on 64 bit OS?
Please advise...

Hi,
You will need to have the 64-bit version of the software installed.
Thanks,
Hussein

Report generation toolkit problem

hello everyone,
i am using Export waveform to Spreadsheet.vi for getting data into excel. i have downloaded and install the Report Generation toolkit 1.13 for make it working but still it seems not working
i am using labview8.6 on windows xp with Microsoft Excel 2003 .
i have tried the same vi on an other computer with same configuration and it works there, but not on my PC, i want to ask is there any thing wrong with my version and the Report Generation toolkit? or i am installing it wrong? or is there any specific folder or path i have to mention during installation of toolkit? if yes then how could i uninstall the existing toolkit because i couldnt find the installed toolkit path or location on my PC?
thanks
looking forward ...

Hi Hussain,
Are you still having these problems.
Can you use other functions in the toolkit or is it just that one.
Do you have other versions of labview than 8.6 intalled on your computer ?

Report generation toolkit problem with office 2000 and office XP

Hello, I am having a problem with running my vi after it is compiled with application builder. The dev machine is an XP box and the targer is windows 2000. I included _Excel Dynamic VIs.vi and _Word Dynamic VIs.vi from the office 2000 section of the install cd (for the report toolkit) in the compile but did not include those files for XP. When I run the application on the target machine (2000), the reporting functions call Excel just fine and the program does not come up with any errors. The program however, is not loading the approprate template and inserting the approprate data. Did I leave some neccessary files out of the compile? Thanks in advance!

Hi Acer,
The recommended procedure in your case is to install Microsoft Office 2000 on the development machine and then reinstall the LabVIEW Report Generation Toolkit. When the toolkit is installed, it will check for the current version of Office and install the corresponding VIs to support it. The VIs include different ActiveX calls according to the version of Office. Therefore it is not enough to change the support manually without having the correct version of Office installed first.
However, I would recommend that you just try to run your executable on a machine that has Office 2000 installed. The difference in the ActiveX API for Office XP and 2000 is not that significant, so your application might work perfectly on an Office 2000 machine. If you try to run the executable on a machine with Office 97 installed I'm willing to bet my right arm that you will experience errors.
Good luck Acer!

SQL Toolkit -- problem searching Date/Time field in Access

I have got an application where I need to query a database (Access) between
two dates (usually the same date, a couple of hours apart). I have set up
the date field within Access as a 'General Date' but can't seem to get the
right format on the SQL query. I am always getting some error. I enclose
the date with {}, '', [], and () (and anything else I can think of) and I
still get a problem. It is now to the point where I think it might be a
problem with SQL Toolkit and Access working together.
I tried making the Date field into a string field (instead of a Date field),
but I can't search between time (I can search between dates, but not date
and time i.e. MM/DD/YY 00:00:00).
Any ideas?

Sorry, the database type is Access.
I just tried the following query SELECT * FROM ValveMeritData WHERE MeritTestDateTime >= '2006/05/01 13:24:28'
and SELECT * FROM ValveMeritData WHERE MeritTestDateTime >= '2006/05/01' (which gave a data mismatch error).
I am going to try the query in access now. I had pretty good success with other types of queries, just writing them in
Labview and testing.
Any other suggestions?

SOAP toolkit problems?

I downloaded and installed the SOAP toolkit,
and everything is working fine, except the Console
won't start because it complains it's not a registered
web service.
Anyone else have the same problem? The Console
was running fine on port 7002, until I install SOAP
toolkit. I'm about the reinstall WLS 6.0 again to see
if I can reconstruct what happened.....

Hi!!!
The first url you use when you want to send a message to your SOAP adapter.
The second one you use with a plain HTTP adapter - you send a message directly to a pipeline.

Database toolkit problem

Hello
I have a problem with running DB toolkit.
After installation I try to open example or build very simple code with DB Tools Open Connection.
The result is broken arrow shows me that the DB ..Open connection.vi is not executable.
I have installed LV 8.5.1 and DB toolkit from CD. All examples are visible after loading DatabaseEx.llb
but none of them are possible to run. All of them have the same problem, DB .vis are not executable.
I have Developer Suite packet. CVi is installed on C://Program Files, but LV is installed on D://
Does it be a problem for DB toolkit ?
In LV I can see all DB*.vi in Connectivity tree.
Where I made a mistake ?
Konrad

Try to reconnect the control to the proper object. Follow this procedure:
1) go to the front panel and right click on the _Connection terminal, then select ADODB._Connection if present
2) If not successful, do it again and select Browse:
3) search and select Microsoft Activex Data Objects (not sure about the correct version: I'd choose the more recent)
4) in the lisbox below, select _Connection

ExtendScript Toolkit problems

I'm getting started with scripting using InDesign CS3, v 5.0.4. I seem to be stuck at "go" for a variety of reasons and would appreciate some help.
My issues:
1. After installing (or reinstalling) InDesign, I find there's no Scripting Support folder anywhere on my PC (XP SP3, by the way). I understand this should be the location for the type libraries.
2. When I launch the ExtendScript Tookit, the process starts (I can confirm this in Task Manager), but the GUI does not appear. Well, that's not quite true; sometimes it shows up 20-30 minutes later. This is a work computer and there's a Novell client installed on the machine. I find that the ExtendScript launch problem goes away if I uninstall the Novell client. Anyone have insight on any part of this?
Thanks in advance ...

I have just had exactly the same problem and I ended up telephoning Adobe support - officially free products such as the ExtendScript Toolkit 2 do not get telephone support.
The person I spoke to at Adobe suggested I run the CS3Clean utility, and that worked for me. See http://www.adobe.com/go/kb402767
BE SURE TO READ THE INSTRUCTIONS IN FULL FIRST
In my case I only needed to run level 1 in the utility. Bit of a pain though to have to uninstall everything and re-install.

Weblogic toolkit problem

I am using weblogic(7.0)webservices toolkit for parsing the xml response through toolkit generated java classes. Please look at the schema I am using.
*******************SCHEMA******************************
<xs:complexType name="person">
<xs:sequence>
<xs:element name="relationships" type="n:split" minOccurs="0"/>
</xs:sequence>
</xs:complexType>
<xs:complexType name="split">
<xs:sequence>
<xs:element name="relationship" type="n:splitInfo" minOccurs="0" maxOccurs="unbounded"/>
</xs:sequence>
</xs:complexType>
splitInfo contains all the elements as optional minoccurs=0.
*******************Response********************
<person>
<relationships>
</relationships>
</person>
Above is the response I am getting but toolkit generated classes are unable to parse this response. Looking at the schema this looks a valid response. I get:
****************ERROR*************************
javax.xml.soap.SOAPException: failed to deserialize xml:weblogic.xml.schema.binding.DeserializationException: element ['http://www.me.com/rep']:relationship did not meet minOccurs constraint of 1 -- found only 0 Trace: javax.xml.soap.SOAPException: failed to deserialize xml:weblogic.xml.schema.binding.DeserializationException: element ['http://www.me.com/rep']:relationship did not meet minOccurs constraint of 1 -- found only 0
But it works fine if the response doesn't contain a relationships tag at all.
Please suggest?

Hi Vivek,

Database connectivity toolkit problem with WINDOWS VISTA and Microsoft jet 4.0 provider

Hi again,
I'm experiencing a problem with Database connectivity toolkit and Microsoft Jet 4.0 provider (MS ACCESS mdb database).
I was able to get my application to work properly on my PC: WINDOWS XP PROFESSIONAL, VERSION 2002, SERVICE PACK 3 and Msjet40.dll ver. 4.0.9511.0 (Windows XP SP3 and Security Bullettin MS08-028).
The same connectivity toolkit seems to have problems (although I didn't get any error dialog) on a laptop with WINDOWS VISTA ULTIMATE, SERVICE PACK 2 and Msjet40.dll ver. 4.0.9755.0.
Does anyone have an idea whether it is a sort of compatibility issue or a different thing?
Would it be possible to include my DLLs into the installer in such a way LabVIEW application calls those DLLs instead of the ones it finds on the host PC?
Thanks a lot. Any suggestion or advice very welcome and appreciated.

I ran into this with Windows7 64 but, could not get the jet 4.0 to work. Endnd up dumping access and used sql server express, its free, and all my code worked fine, just used a different UDL to connect. I wasted lots of time trying to find a way of getting the jet4.0 to work with 64bit windows.

Database Connectivity Toolkit PROBLEM: ignoring adLongVarChar and adLongVarBinary ADODB types

Using LV2013.
in ADODB, 'adLongVarChar' is the datatype for "TEXT" and 'adLongVarBinary' is the datatype for "BLOB".
NI_Database_API does not implement them, in the VI "vi.lib\addons\database\Auxilliary.llb\DB Tools Type and Dir to ADO.vi" it is always 'adVarChar' and 'adBinary'. This is wrong.
For some DBMS this might not be a problem, but for SQL Server this is a big problem.
If you don't specify its an adLongVarChar, SQL Server right truncate data to 8000 bytes, indeed it gives an error and drop the changes.
This error seems to be ignored due old versions of SQL Server used to support only up to 8000 bytes in a row column, but now if you specify VARBINARY(MAX) - you will need to use adLongVarBinary to use the 2TB MAX of space, or if you use TEXT (which is an alias to VARCHAR(MAX)) you will need to use adLongVarChar to use the 2TB MAX of space in row column.
I've made fixes in the NI_Database_API by myself for it to work. I feel like NI_Database_API is abandoned.
I usually don't use this API, only when I need ODBC connectivity, usually I use SQLlite for my applications.
I've found out the problem by reading this http://stackoverflow.com/questions/1074428/how-to-write-to-a-varcharmax-column-using-odbc
Attached the fix done, now inserts of long text and blobs working.

Thank you!
Just came to same conclusion independently but to put some more weight behind I just had this issue. This makes the toolkit incompatible with the new (well since 2005) sql server nvarbinary(max) times.
Cheers,
James

Internet toolkit problem - growing Active Connections list

When I built executables with G Web Server, sometimes, the list of active connections start to grow and whole system seems to stop responding for CGI calls.
Does anybody know what could be the reason.
Thanks in advance
Pawel

OK, I found it. The main part of top vi must be enclosed in a "while loop" as it is done in all Internet Toolkit examples. Then the problem is gone. I guess it is connected with the way how G web server talkes to the "CGI read request.vi".

Report generation toolkit problem (WORD)

Hello,
i'm trying to display a spectrum with Word (2000). The spectrum is updated
when datas are updated.
It works when i use Vi but if i make an exe file, nothing happens (word
doesn't open)
What's the matter ?
Thanks in advance

Try this workaround until you figure out the problem:
Instead of building your application into an executable, create a simple "loader" application. This is just a VI (with optional professional looking splash screen) that uses VI server to call and run your main VI. If you build this instead, your VIs remain as VIs, and any problems seen such as this are bypassed (hopefully).
I had to use this method when a bug was discovered in VISA (that I don't ever recall being solved, now that I think about it.) that caused it to not work properly in built applications.
I am probably going to author an Application Note or Article in Developer Insights, or LTR about this little trick, as I seem to be suggesting it a lot.
I'm sorry I can't help you with your p
roblem directly, but I hope this workaround helps.
Oh, a side benefit is that you are able to maintain a directory structure. And if you 'release' your software, and have to maintain an archive of the source and released, this makes it much easier, as your executable as only a single file, and all of your source remains intact. It also makes it easier to change your application without having to rebuild. The only drawback is that you have an entire VI Hierarchy as a deployed directory structure. This can be confusing to some people. To me, it was an elegant and optimized solution to many problems. It is a method that I always use now.
