ODF support in Oracle Text 10g R2 version ??

Currently, we are using Oracle Text 10g Release 2 version for HTML section searching in our application. we don't have any issues in Microsoft office 2003 documents.
But, when we use Open office documents(ODF), it is not working. It is throwing the following exception:
java.sql.SQLException: ORA-20000: Oracle Text error:
DRG-11207: user filter command exited with status 1
DRG-11222: Third-party filter does not support this known document format.
ORA-06512: at "CTXSYS.DRUE", line 160
ORA-06512: at "CTXSYS.CTX_DOC", line 825
ORA-06512: at line 1
We are using "AUT_FILTER" filter technology.
Any ideas for solving this issue?

You start to have to think outside the box at this point -- AUTO_LEXER isn't going to be able to support you natively.
You could file an SR, and let Oracle tell you whether they'd be willing to integrate changes (like new Verity libraries as they are developed) to 10.2.
That assumes that Autonomy (owner of Verity) has improved their support for ODF.
The OpenOffice formats are all xml-based; you could write something custom to extract the text from your openoffice files and submit them to Oracle as straight XML. I've done something similar to support Office 2007 formats.
You could write a custom USER_LEXER (which is essentially the same as custom extraction, but may be an easier place to hook in your custom code).
That's the main reason I suggested moving up to 11g -- none of the other choices have any easy, short-term fix or workaround.

  • Details on TAF support in Oracle AS 10g

    Hi experts,
    I'm currently writing a Master's Thesis on High Availability of Applications based on Sun’s JEE platform.
    With Oracle being one of the big players in this market I'm going to investigate the features of the Oracle product stack and compare it with other solutions including opensource.
    At the moment I'm looking for details on TAF-support in Oracle AS 10g. Let’s assume one has installed the latest release of the Oracle 10g database in a RAC configuration on two or more physical nodes to store the applications data. Let’s further assume one has set up the latest release of the Oracle AS 10g on different hosts building an AS farm with clustered OC4J-instances. Now one would like to connect a JEE application running within these OC4J-instances to the RAC database.
    Therefore one can configure an OC4J datasource to use a service definition supporting network failover and transparent application failover (TAF) specified in the tnsnames.ora on the AS hosts or directly describe the service in the data-sources.xml. To my knowledge only datasources configured to use the OCI client can be used with TAF. Everything right so far?
    Now the interesting part. The best what TAF can do is automatically reconnect to the next known database node if it’s current node is not reachable or fails, and continue processing an open cursor for select so that the application can continue to use it’s current connection.
    If the application is running a database transaction it can only be rolled back and rerun after failover.
    In a good old plain Java application one had to implement the OracleOCIFailover interface and register a callback with the db connection in order to receive failover events. Therefore you need to process the query in a different thread.
    In a JEE server only the container should be responsible for creating threads, or? How does the Oracle AS support TAF? How can a user application get notice of a failover and react appropriately. Is the behaviour always the same no matter one decides to implement the data access via simple DAOs or entity beans (CMP/BMP)? I assume it is safe to use a connection pool and container will take care of the necessary cleanup jobs, right? Will the complete connection pool be reconstructed or only connections to the failed node?
    Does the application server internally use these OCI callbacks and wrap them up into special Exceptions? Is there anything an application programmer has to do in order to make his data access code ready for TAF, especially in case of failover while the db is processing transactional code?
    Any insights and/or code snippets would be greatly appreciated!
    Ah, one last question. From a HA perspective is it generally a bad idea to put application logic into the database (use CDM RuleFrame and so on) as there is no support in preserving package states or do you think this makes no difference as one has always to repeat everything since the last commit point no matter in which tier the code resides?
    During the next days I’m going to set up the above environment for testing. A 10.0.2.1 RAC on RHE4 is already up and running fine. AS 10.1.3.0.0 on RHE4 is following today or tomorrow.
    Many thanks for all answers!
    Regards,
    Eric

    Hi,
    well, I thought I could dig into the OC4J documentation before installing the server. After reading the OC4J Service Guide for 10.1.2 and 10.1.3 I'm a little bit confused.
    First I read the 10.1.2 Service Guide and almost everything seemed to be clear. I found a lot of answers to the questions above. I'd like to sum them up. Please correct me if I got something wrong!
    - TAF only works on top of OCI driver
    - TAF can be used with connection pooling
    - OC4J takes care of connection pool cleanup (OC4J and OCI Pool)
    These two pools are mentioned. It's not clear to me how they work together. Do one of you know some source where I can get more information about this?
    - after a failover all connections in the pool are checked by OC4J and only alive ones will survive
    - in case of a failover TAF issues an exception
    - the application has to catch this exception and acknowledge with a rollback, after that the transaction can be restarted (this seems to be the responsibility of the applications code, oc4j will not replay something automatically; If I got it right, CMP entity beans will be an exception to this rule - there OC4J will proceed transparently...)
    - the application can use OCI callbacks to customize the failover behavior (well I would like to see some source code example here, as I can't imagine how this could look like)
    After that I read the 10.1.3 service guide. The section about datasources in conjunction with HA is much shorter. Besides TAF new? mechanism is introduced, namely Fast Connection Failover (FCF). There is not much information about it but references to the JDBC Guide, because FCF is a feature of the implicit JDBC connection cache. Where cache seems to be just another word for pool.
    By the way, the example on p. 4-36 looks wrong at first glance. Enabling FCF and setting:
    <property name="fastConnectionFailoverEnabled" value="false"/> ???
    Seems to be a typo in the docu, or?
    I got the impression, that the text is written as if FCF being TAF's successor, without explicitly saying this. Is this right?
    So I proceeded reading the JDBC Developer Guide to lean more about FCF. Here is what I learned:
    - since 10g available
    - FCF is driver independend (you can also use the thin driver)
    - prerequisites are implicit connection cache (pool) enabled, ONS must be configured
    - in case of a failover the transcation will be rolled back automatically (not by the application); whereas using TAF you have to use a rollback to acknowledge the error
    - only one exception ORA-17008 to catch
    - application has to obtain a new connection from the cache (pool), where as using TAF the old connection object can be used, and resend the transaction (same as with TAF)
    So when to use what? The comparison on p. 27-8 was not very helpful to find an answer to this question.
    On p. 28-1 one can read that TAF does not work with the OCI Connection Pool. That's seems to be contradictory to the statement in Service Guide of 10.1.2 that OC4J takes care of both pools (OC4J and OCI). Or has something changed in 10.1.3 in that regard? May be this is because of the changes in Cache or Pool Management?
    What is the advantage of using TAF within OC4J in 10g, if there is any?
    What about select statements with FCF? You can only read about transactions. I'd assume the application would get the same exception executing a query (ORA-17008) as executing a transaction, right? So TAF should have the advantage of transparently proceeding selects after a failover. Am I right?
    I'd love to see more examples and comparisons of TAF and FCF.
    Regards,
    Eric

  • ORACLE TEXT 10G의 수동 설치와, 설치 해제 방법

    제품 : ORACLE SERVER
    작성날짜 : 2006-03-17
    ORACLE TEXT 10G의 수동 설치와, 설치 해제 방법
    ===================================
    PURPOSE
    이 문서는, Oracle Text 10gR1의 수동 설치와 설치 내용의 확인, 설치 해제 방법을 기술하고 있다.
    이 정보는, Oracle 10g Release 1 (10.1.0.2)의 Text를 구성하는 데이터베이스 관리자와, 기술 지원 담당자에게
    유용한 정보가 될 것이다.
    Explanation
    * 주의 사항
    오라클 데이터베이스를 Database Configuration Assistant (DBCA)를 사용하여 생성하였다면, Text는
    기본적으로 설치되며, 별도로 아래 기술된 절차에 따라 설치를 진행할 필요가 없다.
    Oracle Text는 모든 데이터베이스 에디션에 (Oracle Database Standard Edition One,
    Oracle Database Standard Edition (SE), Oracle Database Enterprise Edition (EE),
    Oracle Database Personal Edition ) 추가 라이센스 비용 없이 사용할 수 있다.
    Oracle Database Enterprise Edition (EE)의 경우, Oracle Text를 설치하기전에 Oracle Data Mining (ODM)
    기능을 사용할 수 있게 하는 것이 좋다. 이와 같이 하면, SVM classifier 와 KMEANS clustering 기능을 사용
    할 수 있다. RULE classifier 나 TEXTK clustering과 같은 다른 기능은 ODM이 설치되지 않는 상태에서도
    실행 가능하다.
    * 설치 절차
    데이터베이스를 수동으로 생성하였거나, 데이터베이스 생성 후 Text를 나중에 별도로 설치하기 위해서는
    다음과 같은 절차를 따른다.
    참고: SQL*Plus에서 $ORACLE_HOME 대신에 '?'를 사용하였다.
    1. SQL*Plus에 SYSDBA로 연결 한 수, 다음과 같이 스크립트를 호출하면, CTXSYS 스키마에 Text dictionary가
    생성된다.
    SQL> connect SYS/password as SYSDBA
    SQL> spool text_install.txt
    SQL>@?/ctx/admin/catctx.sql CTXSYS SYSAUX TEMP LOCK
    위 명령에서:
    CTXSYS - ctxsys 사용자의 패스워드
    SYSAUX - ctxsys 사용자의 default tablespace명
    TEMP - ctxsys 사용자의 temporary tablespace명
    LOCK|NOLOCK - ctxsys 사용자 계정을 잠글 것인지, 잠금 해제 할 것인지 여부
    2. 위 작업이 끝나면 언어별로 적절한 default preference를 생성한다.
    Oracle text가 지원하는 언어별 default preference는 /ctx/admin/defaults 디렉토리에 있다.
    예를 들면, English(US), Danish(DK), Dutch(NL), Finnish(SF), French(F), German(D), Italian(IT),
    Portuguese(PT), Spanish(E), Swedish(S) 등이 있다.
    이들 스크립트는 drdefXX.sql과 같은 파일 명을 갖는데, 여기서 XX는 사용하고자 하는 국제
    코드이다. 예를 들어 US default preference를 수동으로 설치하기 위해서는 sqlplus에 CTXSYS
    계정으로 로그인 한 후, 'drdefus.sql'을 다음과 같이 실행시킨다.
    예를 들어 한국의 경우엔 KR default preference를 수동으로 설치하기 위해서는 sqlplus에 CTXSYS
    계정으로 로그인 한 후, 'drdefkr.sql'을 다음과 같이 실행시킨다.
    SQL> connect CTXSYS/password
    SQL>@?/ctx/admin/defaults/drdefko.sql
    SQL> spool off
    *** 주의 ***
    만약 Text를 설치하기 전에 Oracle Data Mining (ODM)을 설치하였다면, text_install.txt 파일에서
    public synonym과 관련된 ORA-955 에러가 남겨진 것을 확인 할 수 있다. 예를 들어 dm_svm_build 와
    관련된 에러가 발생하게 되는데 이 에러는 무시하면 된다. CTXSYS 스키마에 API를 휴내내는 더미
    패키지를 생성하는데, 설치 과정에서 public synonym을 생성하는 것을 시도해 보기 때문이다.
    ODM이 설치되어 있는 상태에서는, public synonym 생성은 실패하게 되고, public synonym이
    ODM의 객체를 가리키는 상태가 되므로, 정상적인 동작이 된다.
    3. Text 10gR1 (10.1.0.x) 정상 설치 여부에 대한 확인
    a. 모든 Text 객체가 CTXSYS 스키마에 정상적으로 설치 되었는지 여부를 확인한다.
    b. CTXSYS 스키마에 속한 객체중 invalid 상태인 것들이 없는 것이 있는지 확인한다.
    정상적으로 설치된 상태에서는 결과 값으로 "no rows selected"가 나와야 한다.
    만약 invalid 상태의 객체가 있다면 수동으로 이들 객체를 컴파일 해 주어야 한다.

    Oracle Text를 설치 해제 하기 전에, CTXSYS 이외의 계정에서 생성한 모든 Text 인덱스를 drop 시키는 것이
    좋다.

  • MultiLanguage support for Oracle Text

    Hi,
    We are providing multi language support in our application. So, we are using the NVarchar datatype. And we want to provide the search option for that text. So if i tried to create an index on that column it is giving the error and unable to create the index on that column. Same if tried to create an index on Char and Varchar datatypes it was successfully created the index on those columns and search is working fine.
    But according to our requirements, we should provide the multi language support in our application.
    Please suggest me how to create indexes on NVarchar datatype and providing the oracle text search features on that datatype.
    Waiting for your favourble reply.
    Thanks in advance.
    Regards,
    Anil.

    No place in the standard docs very well. There was a note I found on it at one point, but I can't find the number at the moment. 10g new features for Text note has some info on it though. I'll look again tomorrow.
    I did a lot of research on the world_lexer a few months back (wrote some info on IR & Oracle Text our newest Oracle Press book), and got some good info from the product team. One of the chapters covering Text will be made available for free and there is a diagram in there of how the world_lexer processes text. I'll post the link to the forum when it is available.
    Since it doesn't require a language column, it attempts to auto-recognize the text...but not really the language. More like...the type of text it is. White-space delimited languages like English or Spanish are easy to break into tokens. Japanese & Korean are another story...no white-space delimiter. Arabic is yet another story. Those are essentially the buckets that text is thrown into for breaking into tokens when using the world_lexer.
    So, where does German fall? It will be broken up similar to English. But what about the special features (like alternate spelling) that are available? Nope - sorry. It doesn't know German from French. With the multi_lexer you defined sub-lexers and told Text which records were German or French. This means that you can use more of the lang features with it. The world_lexer is much easier to implement and maintain, but it is a trade-off.
    Hope that defines it a little better.

  • Does OEM Grid Control 10g support monitoring Oracle Portal 10g?

    Dear expert,
    It seems OEM GC 10g could monitor WebCenter, Weblogic portal and even Websphere portal, but I could not find any info for Oracle Portal. So,
    1.     Does OEM GC support to monitor Oracle Portal 10g? If not, does it support Oracle Portal 11g?
    2.     If does not support Oracle Portal, then is there any workaround for it? E.g. if it’s feasible through “web appliation”?
    Any comment and docs are welcome.
    Thank you in advance.

    Hi Rob,
    Thanks for your help.
    BTW, I have another question for your reply, that what do u mean by “You can use Oracle Enterprise Manager to monitor and manage OracleAS Portal”?
    Do you mean OEM AS Console or OEM GC? Boz I only find these metrics from OEM AS Console, which mentioned in this doc. http://download.oracle.com/docs/cd/B16240_01/doc/em.102/b25987/oracle_portal.htm#CHDFJHDD
    If these metrics only available in AS Console, then how to let the OEM send out email notification if critical threshold is over?
    Thank you.

  • Query related to replication method supported by ORACLE in 10g...

    Hi All,
    I have few question related to ORACLE replication methods. I have two database on different machine and I want to copy at schema level from source to target database.
    for this I have few queries related to Replication method as stated below:
    1- I have two option one is Materailized view and another is Stream.
    2- if I go for Materialized view then what it's advantage in compare to Stream?
    3- if I go for Stream replication then what it's benefits?
    4- For stream replication I have read that its require to set "global_names=true", with out this can we able to setup stream replication?
    Please suggest me optimal solution.
    Thanks....

    Hello,
    4- For stream replication I have read that its require to set "global_names=true", with out this can we able to setup stream replication?Anyway, when you manage Distributed Database, it's always recommended to set global_names=true. By that way you enforce that a dblink has same name as the DB it connects to.
    Else about Stream the both (Source and Target) databases should be in Archivelog mode.
    More over, Stream Replication allow to replicate DDL change (for instance you add a column on a Table), and have much more features than Materalized Views. If you want to share datas among several databases, Stream is an interesting technology.
    Materialized view is more suitable on DSS database.
    Hope this help.
    Best regards,

  • Oracle Text valid file formats

    We are using Oracle Text 10g release 1. In the Oracle Text documentation in appendix B it lists all the supported file formats Oracle text can filter and turn to text. Does anyone know whether there is a document that not only has the supported file formats but also the file extensions of these file types?

    Hi,
    It depends on your release of 10gR1 as to the filter you'll use. At 10.1.0.4 the Verity KeyView filter is used. Prior to that (in 10gR1) the INSO filter was used. This determines the file formats that are supported.
    Depending on your release, you can 'Google' for either INSO filter or Verity KeyView filter and get more details on the filters.
    Thanks,
    Ron

  • Oracle 9i(9.2.0.5.0) - Oracle Text Upgrade

    I am using Oracle 9i(9.2.0.5.0) database with Oracle text 9.2.0 (if this is the default version installed with this version of the DB - I am not an DBA so I was not able to check it so far).
    I need to extend the file types support for MS Office 2003 and later also 2007 documents.
    I would like to ask if is a way to do this, without the need of upgrading the whole database installation? E.g.:
    - Is it possible to upgrade Oracle Text to newer version of Oracle Text without upgrading the Database?
    - are there any extension or patches that extened the file type support?
    Regards,
    Michal

    Thanks for the answer. Think is that we are using it with the HP OpenVies ServiceDesk 4.5 so I do not know if it is possible.
    Nevertheless I am not the DBA and I can not force him to move to a never version. But I will send him your suggestion.
    In case of Oracle Text I may persuade him to upgrade to a newer version if it does not include the whole DB upgrade.

  • How to add Oracle Graphics 6i charts (OGD) to my Oracle Reports 10g

    Hi,
    Is there any possibility to add Oracle Graphics 6i Charts (.OGD) to Oracle Reports 10g
    (OR)
    If not possible, Can you please provide steps to migrate OGD to any format that is supported in Oracle Reports 10g.
    Regards,
    Swethan

    Oracle Graphics and its OGD image format are no longer supported. Reports built with previous versions of Oracle Reports containing Oracle Graphics charts will continue to run in Oracle Reports 10g Release 2 (10.1.2) if the Oracle Graphics 6i runtime is installed on the same machine in a separate ORACLE_HOME. However, this is not a supported configuration, and Oracle will not fix bugs that result from this configuration.
