ORA-01406 error encountered when using database link

I am moving data between two different databases using a database link on Oracle 8.1.5. The database statement looks like:
insert into TABLE@DATABASELINK
(COLUMNS)
select (COLUMNS) from TABLE
One of the database columns is defined as varchar2(4000) on both the source and target database tables. When the data in this column on the source database is greater than 2000 characters, the database query generates the message:
ORA-01406: fetched column value was truncated
I have verified that the target column is defined as varchar2(4000), and have also verified that it is this varchar2(4000) column that is causing the problem. I have also tested out that this error only occurs when the varchar field is more than 2000 characters; if I remove characters so that the source field is less than or equal to 2000 characters, this error is no longer generated and the data is inserted to the target database table.
Is this a limit with database links or some other database parameter that is not set up correctly?
Thanks...Theresa Tucci

Could you change the following entry in your 'sqlnet.ora' file and try?
SQLNET.AUTHENTICATION_SERVICES = (NONE)

TNS-12666 error occures when using database link

When I am trying to use database link
defined in my database the following error occures:
TNS-12666 Dedicated server: outbound transport protocol different from inbound.
In documentation is stated to resolve such an error to
specify the same protocol in the SQL*Net connect string or alias for the outbound connection as that used for the inbound connection.
I have in tnsnames.ora defined network service name
by which I can connect to such a database by SQL*Plus
without any problems, why can I not do such a thing
via database link?
Thanks a lot for advise, ...

           KGLR.SQL to create necessary views used for querying/looking up
           objects stored in the database.

You need to create the catalog views that support distributed SQL in your remote database (the database you connect to via db_link).
To create these views, connect "/ as sysdba" and run:
$ORACLE_HOME/rdbms/admin/catproc.sql
which will in turn call several other scripts including: $ORACLE_HOME/rdbms/admin/catrpc.sql (which creates your missing view)
It is best to run the whole catproc.sql script (and not just the catrpc script).
You can run and rerun catproc.sql several times quite safely.

Broken Pipe Error when using database link

We are using WebLogic 6.1 sp2 / oracle database 8.1.6. / thin drivers.
The connection works fine, unit I try to access a view that has a union and db links
in it.
We have used one or the other (view or a dblink) and it works, but when used together,
we get broken pipe error.
I haven't proven that this is the cause, I will try to setup a test, but I was wondering
if this is a known issue or what ??
thanks
Rich

ORA-12154 when using Database Link

We're running 11r2 on our servers. I have a primary db and a standby db, using Data Guard. The standby is open for read-only querying. We are not using ASM.
The primary (and thus the standby) have a PUBLIC database link to a third db server.
When I run a query against the database link on the primary: select * from test@MyDBlink; Everything works fine.
When I run the same query against the database link on the standby: select * from test@MyDBlink; I get ORA-12154: TNS:could not resolve the connect identifier.
I check that the db link exists on the standby. It does.
I go to command prompt on the standby and run "tnsping MyDBlink". It executes fine. It says "Used TNSNAMES adapater to resolve the alias" and sure enough, MyDBlink is referenced in the TNSNAMES.ORA.
I also run "tnsping IP-of-MyDBlink" to doublecheck. No issues.
What is going on that is blocking the db link on the standby? Many reports utilize that standby and I'd hate to deny them the functionality of a db link.
Thanks

ThanksMost people with this problem don't understand that the dblink is just another client, no different than sqplus running on the same machine - and therefore the link uses the tnsames in the ORACLE_HOME of the database containing the link. But it seems from the steps you've described that you've grasped that. The only thing I can think of off the top of my head is when you try sqlplus from the standby server you are hitting a different tnsnames than the one the database is using.

Timeout when using database link connecting to a remote database

Hi,
I have another strange problem. I have two computers A and B. Both have an Oracle database server instance. I manage the one in B (which is my local computer) but not the one in A (which is a computer where I have a user account and an Oracle account but I don't own or manage).
I tried to establish a database link on the database in B pointing to the one in A. This works.
When I try the opposite, that is, establish a database link on the database in A pointing to the one in B I cannot get it work. I can create the database link but then when I try to use it (e.g., by submitting a "SELECT") it blocks for a long time and finally returns "ORA-12535: TNS:operation timed out". I tried to execute telnet from A to B using the port of the Oracle database server in B and it seems that the connection is established. I tried something similar with tnsping but this does not work, as I get again the timeout. I tried deactivating the firewall on my computer B, but it does not work either (besides, the telnet passes through even if I have the firewall activated).
Any idea?
My TNSPING looks like this:
tnsping '(DESCRIPTION =
(ADDRESS_LIST =
(ADDRESS = (PROTOCOL = TCP)(HOST = <the-target-ip>)(PORT = 1521))
(CONNECT_DATA =
(SERVICE_NAME = XE)
I also tried with:
tnsping '(ADDRESS = (PROTOCOL = TCP)(HOST = <the-target-ip>)(PORT = 1521))';
I'm lost... Any ideas are very much appreciated.
Thanks!

From A to B and from B to A can you ping ... post the output surrounded by tags for formatting.
Do the same thing for TNSPING.
What do these computers have in the way of firewalls and antivirus products installed and how are they configured?

Error occurred when using db link in procedure

Hi
I have a problem. As COLL_OWNER, I failed to compile this procedure.
CREATE OR REPLACE PROCEDURE Arch_Session_Order_Queue
IS
-- declarations
BEGIN
-- many lines
SELECT COUNT (1)
INTO v_wols_count
FROM [email protected];
-- many lines
END;
The error says "PL/SQL: ORA-00980: synonym translation is no longer valid"
But when I run it as COLL_OWNER like that,
SELECT COUNT (1) FROM [email protected]
I get the result.
Why that happens? How to resolve the problem?
Appreciate your advice.
Kevin

Hi Jens
Here is the result
SELECT * FROM [email protected] WHERE synonym_name='ORDER_QUEUE;
OWNER SYNONYM_NAME TABLE_OWNER TABLE_NAME DB_LINK
OMDBPP_OWNER ORDER_QUEUE ORDER_QUEUE WOLSPP.WORLD
SELECT owner, object_name, object_type, status
FROM [email protected] WHERE object_name='ORDER_QUEUE';
OWNER OBJECT_NAME OBJECT_TYPE STATUS
OMDBPP_OWNER ORDER_QUEUE SYNONYM VALID
The ORDER_QUEUE on O9IPRD.WORLD is a synonym that points to the real table.
The way that happen is that we have Oracle 10g. The business logic needs to use Oracle 8.1.5 database. Oracle10g cannot talk to Oracle8.1.5. We created an Oracle 9i database having the synonym that points to the real table of Oracle 8.1.5.
I am wondering why I can get the result in SQL but failed to get procedure work.
Thanks,
Kevin

No, you cannot apply a patch to XE. Basically the XE internal code is the same as for any other edition. That means is there a bug, you have it in XE,too. To get patches you need a licence for metalink/My Oracle Support. But even you would have one, it wouldn't help you, because Oracle does not provide patches for XE.
That's the 'price' you have to pay for this free edition.

PL/SQL: ORA-04052: error occurred when looking up remote object.

Hi All,
I'm getting the following error message while executing a PL/SQL Block.
PL/SQL: ORA-04052: error occurred when looking up remote object UPLDUSER.filestatushistory@FTS
ORA-00604: error occurred at recursive SQL level 1

ORA-02063: preceding line from FTSStatement
declare
v_coun number;
begin
select count(*) into v_coun
from updluser.filestatushistory@fts;
end;Back ground of the situation as follows,
My DataBase version 10.2.0.3 DB Name :DB1
Table Owner : UPLDUSER
Table Name : FILESTATUSHISTORY
I have a report user on the same database and I have grant all on the above table to report user
Report User : RPT_FTS
SQL> GRANT ALL ON FILESTATUSHISTORY_V TO RPT_FTS;Now Please find the below database details where I'm getting subjected error.
Database version : 9.2.0.8
DB Name : DB2
User Name : RPT_REPORTS
I Have create a dblink from RPT_REPORTS to RPT_FTS on DB1 and the dblink works fine. But getting the above error while running it.
but When I do the same other 10.2.0.3 db , the above PL/SQL block works fine without any problem.
+++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
Now the strange about this is that I have Created a new table on DB1 db like below;
SQL> CREATE TABLE UPLDUSER.ABC AS SELECT * FROM FILESTATUSHISTORY;and retry my code on DB2 (9.2.0.8) after changing the table to ABC and it worked. Now I don't know whats wrong with a original table(FILESTATUSHISTORY).
To over come the problem and a work-a-round method I create a view on the DB1 (RPT_FTS) like the below
SQL> CREATE VIEW FILESTATUSHISTORY AS SELECT * FROM UPLDUSER.FILESTATUSHISTORY;and was able to run the PL/SQL block Remotely.
Just wants To know what whould have been the cause for this .

How to Execute a Remote Procedure in Portal using Database Link

Hi,
I followed the instructions to create a Portal form for a remote procedure. But I am encountering the following error. Can someone advise what may be the cause?
Failed to execute - Missing string(create_package_body) language(us) domain (wwv) sub_domain (wwv_builder) (WWV-04300)
ORA-04020: deadlock detected while trying to lock object PUBLIC.PORTLET_SCHEMA (WWV-11230)
Failed to parse as PORTAL - (WWV-08300)
PURPOSE
How to execute a remote procedure in Portal using Database Link.
DESCRIPTION
This procedure assumes that you have two databases, one of which is remote, and Portal is configured in the other.
Remote Database A:
==================
1) Create a procedure as follows: Create or Replace PROCEDURE SCOTT.ADD_TWO_VALUES ( v_one IN NUMBER, v_two IN NUMBER, v_result OUT NUMBER) as begin v_result :=v_one+v_two; end; 2) Grant execute privileges to PUBLIC on the procedure.
Database B (where Portal is configured): ========================================
1) Create a public database link and choose to connect as a specific user (say SYSTEM). By default, in an Oracle 8i database, the "global_names" parameter in initSID.ora (or init.ora) file is set to "true". This Global Naming parameter enforces that a dblink has the same name as the database it connects to. Therefore, if the remote global database (A) name is "ora8.acme.com" then the database link should also be named as "ora8.acme.com".
2) Create a synonym for the procedure in Database A. Make sure you fully qualify the procedure name in the remote database (like SCOTT.ADD_TWO_VALUES).
3) Create a dynamic page to execute the procedure. The ORACLE tags in the dynamic page will look similar to the following: <ORACLE> DECLARE v_total NUMBER; BEGIN ADD_TWO_VALUES(:v_one,:v_two, v_total); htp.p('The total is => '); htp.p('<input type="TEXT" VALUE='||v_total||'>'); htp.para; htp.anchor('http://<machine.domain:port#>/pls/portal30/SCOTT.DYN_ADD_TWO_VALUES.show_parms', 'Re-Execute Procedure'); END; </ORACLE>
4) Portal does not have an option to create a form based on a synonym. Therefore, if you want to create a form instead of a dynamic page, create a wrapper procedure and then create a form based on this procedure. For example: Create or Replace PROCEDURE PORTAL30.ADD_TWO_VALUES_PR ( v_one IN NUMBER, v_two IN NUMBER, v_total OUT NUMBER) as begin add_two_values(v_one, v_two, v_total); end;
5) Grant execute privileges to PUBLIC on the procedure.

hello...
any input will welcomed... Thanks..

Using database links in a plsql page process

I am trying to use a database link in a pl/sql page process.
It works fine when I use the link name in the plsql like this:
BEGIN
SELECT
CARD_ID
into
:P12_HDR_CARD_NUMBER
from     [email protected];
But the link name will be coming from a page item (P12_DBLINK) populated as follows:
select db_link d, db_link r from user_db_links;
I have tried the following and it's not working:
DECLARE
l_link VARCHAR2(30);
BEGIN
l_link := :P12_DBLINK;
SELECT
CARD_ID
into
:P12_HDR_CARD_NUMBER
from     fusion.EXM_CC_COMPANY_ACCOUNTS@l_link;
this gives me:
ORA-04052: error occurred when looking up remote object FUSION.EXM_CC_COMPANY_ACCOUNTS@L_LINK.WORLD ORA-00604: error occurred at recursive SQL level 3 ORA-02019: connection description for remote database not found
I thought that maybe the link name was getting appended with .WORLD automatically but the link name already has .WORLD at the end. I tried stripping that off first but the error is the same.
Is there some synatx for this that will work for this? Will I need to use dynamic sql?
Any suggestions are most appreciated.
thanks,
john

Using Database link to go from one database to another

Hi all,
I am trying to create a SQL-query which connects to two
different databases.
I have created a Database link, which points from on database to
the other, and have supplied the database name, username and
password.
when I try to run following query I get error ORA:02085, MY_LINK
is connecting to SIEBN1S.(domain).com
SELECT COUNT(*) FROM MY_TABLE@MYLINK;
additional info:
2 databases are exact copies on different servers (SIEBN1S and
N1SSIEB)
the MY_TABLE exists in both databases and I have rights on it in
both, I can separately connect to both databases and look into
MY_TABLE
I have created the database link using following statement (in
the N1SSIEB db):
create database link MYLINK connect to <usr> identified by <pwd>
using 'SIEBN1S'
any help is welcome

You have set GLOBAL_NAMES to TRUE in your init.ora file. This
means your database link must have the same name as the database
you want to connect to ie SIEBN1S.(domain).com.
alternatively you can change GLOBAL_NAMES. to test this try
'ALTER SESSION SET GLOBAL_NAMES=FALSE'.

Error message when using FM 'BAPI_BUPA_ADDRESS_CHANGE'.

I'm continually getting an error message when using FM 'BAPI_BUPA_ADDRESS_CHANGE'. The message being 'Table BAPIADTEL entry to be changed not found in target system'.
I have looked up this message but all links seem to refer to FM 'BAPI_BUPA_CENTRAL_CHANGE', which I'm not using, and has different parameter settings.
I'm simply trying to update the telephone number and I'm updating strcuture BAPIADTEL and BAPIADTELX but still the message appears. I know that there is a really simple reason for this, but I have been double-checking everything and experimenting with lots of different areas, but with no effect.
Has anyone encountered this problem using the specific FM ''BAPI_BUPA_ADDRESS_CHANGE' ?.

Hi Jason,
In case your database tables had already value for field telephone number, then only the flag should be "U".
If the telephone number field was empty, and we will try to change it by using the flag as U, it wont work. In this case, we should be using "I".
I even wrote that before in this post, but somehow I guess the post was locked, and a lot of comments from you and me were not visible apart from the first two. So, I couldnt get any update from you.
Anyway, its good that its working for you. Thank you for the update.
Regards,
Susanta
