ORA-00164: autonomous transaction disallowed within distributed transaction

I have been trying to solve this problem for weeks now, I have posted this question everywhere I can think of, but I havent really received and answer that has helped, so now I am going to post it here hoping for an answer.
We are running 9iAS on Solaris and when the following stuff is run we are getting ORA-00164 errors. If you refresh the page a bunch of time the problem goes away. But it comes back the next time you try to execute the procedure again. Here are the cases when the problem shows up.
Editing the style:
PROCEDURE : PORTAL30.wwpob_app_style.edit_style
Saving changes to the banner for a page
PROCEDURE : PORTAL30.wwptl_banner.savecustom
Logging out
PROCEDURE : PORTAL30.wwsec_app_priv.logout
After setting the default user group and applying the changes:
PROCEDURE : PORTAL30.wwsec_app_user_mgr.edit_user
Creating a new group:
PROCEDURE : PORTAL30.wwsec_app_group_mgr.create_group
Opening the add portlet screen:
PROCEDURE : PORTAL30.wwv_main.main
There are a few other places but I don't have them documented. In ALL cases the problem goes away once we start and stop the Apache using the following comands:
/app/oracle/n_portal/Apache/Apache/bin/apachectl stop
ps -ef | grep httpd | grep n_portal
/app/oracle/n_portal/Apache/Apache/bin/apachectl start
After starting and stopping Apache the problem is gone for a little while (20-30 mins) then it starts coming back slowly (sometimes the problem is there then it is not). Once the problem is back if you continually press refresh on the browser (5-10 times) the page might appear, if the page does not appear you will see the
ORA-00164: autonomous transaction disallowed within distributed transaction
The following error appears in apache log (50% of the time) when Autonomous Transaction error shows up on the screen:-
DSHttpSessionBindingListenerImpl.valueUnbound : closing DS session : DSSession id = 5225534324468880950975536484
215 PortalSession id = 521335001720MERAJ
DSHttpSessionBindingListenerImpl.valueUnbound : closing DS session : DSSession id = -638034231325135430097553725
8001 PortalSession id = 992335001711JDALGLIESH
These errors might be related to dynamic services but we were had the problem long before Dynamic services was installed.
We want to start pre-production user testing as we have just had 11 developers building portlets for the company, but we cant do much with this error popping up every time a user wants to test it. We have one of the Oracle consultants here and he has asked the oracle developer group what the problem could be, and they seem to think it might be related to our use of DB links however, we never get the problem when we try to run a portlet that uses a database link.
Please help.

Jay,
My name is Craig McCauley. I'm an Oracle Technical Manager working onsite at Unocal Indonesia. I'm with the Portal group in ATS.
When I got here the first thing we did was bump up init.ora parameters and apache confif parameters as suggested by the iPlatform group. We have thes sessions parameter (in init.ora) bumped up from 100 to 700. I'm watching v$session and the get these AT messages with as few as 70 total db sessions. Any help your group can give will be greatly appreciated.
Unocal is planning on implementing Oracle Portal globally - as a common interface. They have similar installs in Thailand and Houston and thus far have not seen the AT messages (although there has not been much development going on at those sites).
Thanks,
Craig

ORA-00164 Autonomous transaction when creating batch of users

Hi,
I ran the script posted earlier in this forum to create a batch of users, I got some errors, support people told me that is appears to be database errors :
ORA-00164 Autonomous transaction disallowed with distributed transaction.

We use 8.1.7.2 database, Portal 3.0.9.8.
Anyone having a solution for that problem, I don't want to create 250 users manually.
Thank's

i'm getting the same thing, but i'm using hardcoded input,

ORA-00164 Autonomous and Distributed Transactions in Oracle 8i - Forms6i

Hi, in Forms6i I'm using Autonomous transactions (insert and update), and I want to use also a database link to make a query in a remote database (Distributed transaction). Even when this request are done in different PL/SQL within Forms6i, I get the error message ORA-00164 Distributed transactions disallowed within autonomous transactions. Is there a way to avoid this error message?
Thanx

Hello,
I had a similar Problem, when I tried to log errormessages while selecting by db-link.
I use pipes now to send the errormessages. The pipe is read at regular intervals and then I can Insert without using autonomous transactions.
I hope, this will help you

Also note that remote procedure/function calls (e.g. from ODP.NET), do not support distributed transactions (i.e. a SAVEPOINT/ROLLBACK block within the PL/SQL procedure/function) before database version Oracle 9i.
So if you are using say Oracle 817 you must use the "OracleTransaction" object in ODP.NET instead.

Cannot change transaction isolation during distributed transaction

Hi All,
When ever the IPortalComponent session expires my application is throwing Null pointer exception. So I am catching the NullPointer exception and then reloading the page again. It is working in frontend without any issues.
But in the error log monitor(nwa) I can see the below error when reloading the page after component session expires.
Cannot change transaction isolation during distributed transaction and when the connection is shared. DataSource name: "PRODB2
As per my knowledge I understood that this is happening beacuse application is trying to recreate a new connection pool while one pool instance is alive.
If this is correct can any one tell me how to destory the pool of current session when reloading the page.
Thanks in Advance,
Chinna.

What was the solution to the problem ?

ORA-00164 Autonomous Transactions in Distributed Env

Hi,
We are on 8.1.7 on AIX. We get ORA-00164 when we attempt to call an Autonomous transaction procedure whilst the main transaction has read a remote table.
In 8.1.6.0.0 this used to check us out with Ora-600, In 8.1.7 it gives error 164. I have read some postings stating that this limitation is expected to be fixed in Oracle server 8.2 or Oracle 9i Release 2.
Can somebody confirm this,
BTW what would 9i Release 2 mean - 9.2 or 9.0.2 ?
Also, is 8.2 out?

Is this question specific to Oracle9iAS Portal?

ORA-01591 -- How to remove blocking distributed transaction?

Hi at all,
I've got a big problem! There is a transaction lock on a table and I can't access / update the table. The following error occures: ORA-01591: lock held by in-doubt distributed transaction 140.12.34934.
So, I decided to kill this transaction. But I can't find any transaction with that number. How can I remove this transaction. A restart of the database does not kill this trransaction.
Thanks for you help

ORA-01591 lock held by in-doubt distributed transaction string
Cause: An attempt was made to access resource that is locked by a dead two-phase commit transaction that is in prepared state.
Action: The database administrator should query the PENDING_TRANS$ and related tables, and attempt to repair network connection(s) to coordinator and commit point. If timely repair is not possible, the database administrator should contact the database administrator at the commit point if known or the end user for correct outcome, or use heuristic default if given to issue a heuristic COMMIT or ABORT command to finalize the local portion of the distributed transaction.

What logging implementation for distributed transaction on Oracle 8?

Hi,
I have a script running on Oracle 8 that accesses remote databases. I would like to create a transaction log that creates log entries in another table as the script progresses. I initially tried creating a logging procedure that used PRAGMA AUTONOMOUS_TRANSACTION but this failed because of this error message:
ORA-00164: autonomous transaction disallowed within distributed transaction
I can't set the transaction to read only as database updates are part of the script.
Is there another strategy that I could use to create the logs I need?
Cheers,
kj

ORA-00164 but I cant find an autonomous transaktion

Hello,
I have the following statement
SQL> create table tab2 as
2 select * from tab1@dblink;
and get the error
select * from tab1@dblink
ERROR at line 2:
ORA-00604: error occurred at recursive SQL level 1
ORA-00164: autonomous transaction disallowed within distributed transaction
where is the autonomous transaktion??
when the table exists and I do an 'insert into select' by dblink it works
The same statement worked before and I don't know about any changes in the db-parameters.
We work with 8.1.7
Thank you for any help

Thanks for the answer,
but I found out, that our DBA had installed a BigBrother package, because sometimes tables got 'lost' without anybody knowing anything. Started by a logon Trigger it used autonomous transaktions to write the log.
Now it runs with simple transactions and the error is gone.

ORA-02042: too many distributed transactions

1. I have been working on a portal application for several weeks.
2. Portal is installed in 1 instance and my data is in another instance.
3. I've had no ora-02042 problems in the devt environment set up that way.
4. I've recently migrated the application/pages to a test environment set up that way.
5. I've been working in the test environment for several days with no problems.
6. For some portlets on some pages I'm now getting:
<BLOCKQUOTE><font size="1" face="Verdana, Arial">quote:</font><HR>

Why are these select statements being interpreted as distributed transactions? Note:1032658.6 suggests I "USE SET TRANSACTION READ ONLY". Is this necessary? If so how?

Hi,
this is information from metalink:
The ORA-2042 indicates that you should increase the parameter
distributed_transactions.
The ORA-2063 indicates that this must be done at the remote
database.
Explanation
If the distributed transaction table is full on either side of
the database link you get the error ORA-2042:
ORA-02042: "too many distributed transactions"
Cause: the distributed transaction table is full,
because too many distributed transactions are active.
Action: increase the INIT.ORA "distributed_transactions" or
run fewer transactions.
If you are sure you don't have too many concurrent
distributed transactions, this indicates an internal
error and support should be notified.
Instance shutdown/restart would be a workaround.
When the error is generated at the remote database it is
accompanied with an ORA-2063. In this case the parameter
distributed_transactions must be increased at the remote
database.
If there is no ORA-2063 the parameter distributed_transactions
must be increased at the local database.

Too many distributed transactions

I am programming an application with JDeveloper 10g and ADF Framework. It is a application that only queries data (no modifications). I created ViewObjects based on sql queries and an application module.
The problem is that is I execute that application for some time, I get the following error:

ECC-6.0 supports XA(Distributed Transactions)&WS-AT(Web Services u0096 Atomic)

Hi
1- Does SAP ECC-6.0 support XA transactions?
XA Transactions stand for (Distributed Transactions).
2- Does SAP ECC-6.0 Web services allow participation in WS-AT?
WS-AT Stands for is Web Services Atomic Transaction specification.
If so please provide the referral point where I can get the Documentation regarding this.
Any earlier reply will be rewarded.

Hi
1. What is meant by XA ?? Please clarify.. I guess, ECC should support..
2. Yes...
SAP supports ATS... Atomic Transaction specification defines protocols that is recognized by SAP. This failure atomicity property is supported by atomic transactions, which have the following familiar ACID properties.

ORA-00164

Hello
I'm getting an "ORA-00164 distributed autonomous transaction disallowed within migratable distributed transaction" from the following section of a query...
SELECT

        P.group_id,

...The f_billing_get_bill_no, and f_css_unique_id functions are both set to use autonomous transactions and both commit their work before returning, but I still get this error. None of the tables are remote, and unless I get rid of the f_css_unique_id call, I get this error.
I've looked up the error text and it just says:
Cause: A request was made by the application to start a distributed autonomous transaction when the application was in a migratable distributed transaction.
Action: Roll back or commit the current distributed transaction first.
The thing I don't understand is what a migratable transaction is and why this error is occurring when I've issued the relevant commits. Any ideas?
David

It seems that you cannot start another autonomous transaction when the application is already within an autonomous transactionUmm, up to a point Lord Copper.

ORA-02047: cannot join the distributed transaction in progress

Hi All,
My requirement is to do COMMIT Transactions in BULK like 100 rows. I am doing update in Oracle and SQL Server both. Following statement update the SQL Server side:
v_sqlstr :=
'update JDETAIL set interfacedate = getdate() where company ='
|| v_company
|| ' and Recordnumber= '
|| TO_NUMBER (v_recordNumber)
|| ' COMMIT TRANSACTION';
num_rows :=
DBMS_HS_PASSTHROUGH.execute_immediate@ex_test (v_sqlstr);
After this I am calling Oracle Update Procedure . In Oracle UPDATE Procedure when I write AUTONOMOUS TRANSACTIONS AND Commit then it works fine BUT when I don't COMMIT which I don't want because I want to COMMIT in BATCHES then following error is thrown
ORA-02047: cannot join the distributed transaction in progress
Thanks

you can't put the commit transaction into a pasthrough statement.
Oracle Gateway starts the transaction, so you need to write the code in a way that allows the gateway to perform the commit. When doing a commit in a passhrough statement the gateway has no control over the committed data. Thus you get the error unless you start an autonomous transaction.
Why do you need to call the update in a pasthrough statement? Why not in a PL/SQl code block with a counter that commits after 100 rows?

And a secondary question, is there a better way to write the query (it's a copy/paste from an older query). That select within the select is ugly...

Hello,
Take a look at the following thread -
help ORA-02049
Is it really necessary that you always query across the DBLink? Is using local materialized views not an option for you?
