ORA-06502 - Error when running "Ask The Expert 0.9"

Hi ,
I successfully installed "Ask the Expert" package with Apex 3.0 on Oracle 10g Database 10.2.0.1.0. No error ocurred during the import in my Apex environment.
Besides that, i'm having problems when i tried to run the "Aks the Expert". It always shows the following message errors:
ORA-06502: PL/SQL: numeric or value error: character string buffer too small
Error Unable to write activity log.
I think it was a problem with APEX instalation, but i could run the Sample Application of Apex without any problem.
I opened an SR in Metalink, but to my surprise, the analist of support don't know what's wrong with the demo "Ask de Expert".
The debug function of the application show the following commands before the error ocurrs:

ORA-04062 error when running forms with different users

ORA-04062 error when running forms with different users
I have a form that has a block that should display some data from another users tables. (The other user's name is dynamic, it's selected from a list box)
I wrote a stored procedure to get the data from other user's tables.
When I compile the form and run it with the same user I compiled, it works without any error. But when I run the compiled form with another user I get the ORA-04062 (signature of procedure has been changed) error.
I tried setting REMOTE_DEPENDENCIES_MODE to SIGNATURE in init.ora but it didn't help.
My Forms version is 6i with Patch 15.
Database version is 9.
Here is my stored procedure:
TYPE Scenario_Tab IS TABLE OF NUMBER(34) INDEX BY BINARY INTEGER;
TYPE Open_Curs IS REF CURSOR;
PROCEDURE Get_Scenarios(User_Name IN VARCHAR2, Scen_Table OUT Scenario_Tab) IS
Curs Open_Curs;
i NUMBER;
BEGIN
OPEN Curs FOR
'SELECT Seq_No FROM '|| User_Name ||'.scenario';
i := 1;
LOOP
FETCH Curs INTO Scen_Table(i);
EXIT WHEN Curs%NOTFOUND;
i := i + 1;
END LOOP;
END Get_Senarios;
I would be happy to solve this problem. It's really important.
Maybe somebody can tell me another way to do what I want to do. (getting a list of values from another users tables)

I think it should be a better solution to create a package,
and put your own TYPES and procedure into it.
CREATE OR REPLACE PACKAGE PKG_XXX IS
TYPE TYP_TAB_CHAR IS TABLE OF .... ;
PROCEDURE P_XX ( Var1 IN VARCHAR2, var2 IN OUT TYP_TAB_CHAR );
END ;
Then in your Form :
Declare
var PKG_XXX.TYP_TAB_CHAR ;
Begin
PKG_XXX.P_XX( 'user_name', var ) ;
End ;

What do I need to do to bring the correct library into the transportable code?

Hello,
I was unable to reproduce the behavior that you saw. I was able to deploy my application with the Linear Fit PtByPt without issues.
Could you attach the smallest piece of code that reproduces this behavior so that I can test it as well?

ORA-06502 error when clicked on Lines tab in Oracle Service Contracts

When i query for some contracts and click on Lines Tab,i get ORA-06502 error.
This is not happenning with all contracts.My ICX: Numeric Characters profile is set to 10.000,00 but the user who created the contracts which were showing error message has ICX: Numeric Characters profile set to 10,000.00.
If i change my profile option to this users profile option,then i am not getting error in these contracts but getting error when trying to view the contracts which were created by other users who's ICX: Numeric Characters profile is different from mine.
Plz let me know how can i resolve this issue.
Looking for your suggessions.
Thanks,
Ravi

CRS Home is indicative of having Oracle clusterware installed. Is this a RAC cluster? Are you running on ASM? How many nodes? etc.

ORA-06502 Error When Calling Function

Hi,
We have upgraded Oracle Database Server 9i to 11.1.0.7 and we are now using ODP.NET version 2.112.2.0 instead of 9.2.0.4 dll.
After the migration, we encountered ORA-06502 problem when we are calling a function from .NET application. We investigated and found that we have to set the parameter size for the return value parameter (varchar2). But there is a strange case that how do we guess the return value size, it can be 5 characters or 5.000 characters. Before 11g Oracle.DataAccess, we do not have that such problem. We were setting the parameter size 225 by default, but ODP.NET was returning 500 characters without any error.
The question is that how do we guess or know the actual parameter size when we are passing a Return Value parameter to the function?
Or is there a solution for this behaviour of ODP.NET?
Thanks.

Is there a reason you can not set it to the default maximum size for a varchar2 of 32k?

I would appreciate some help with this. The code works fine in a Windows or Solaris environment but barfs on Apple. Truly annoying....
Anyone?
Thanks in advance,
Alex

Yes,
Apologies for not stating that information, Steve. Was a bit naughty of me! I guess the reason I didn't was because I just wanted to hear if anyone else running Oracle on Mac received such errors when executing the Java stored proc demos (specifically, the execution of PointRuntime.jDistance).

Thanks Roger.
I did add those in... DBA insists that didn't matter, since explicit "select" privs were granted to CRT_DEV to select CRT tables. He did say that a length check was required on the CLOBS before appedning them to the destination lob (tlob) to prevent NULL lob locators being appended and raising the exception.
In any case, it works now... however, unsure if it's due to the schema prefix on the tables, or the lob length checks...

Version 3.1 fault - ORA-06502 error when creating SQL Report Region/Page

I usually perfect my query in SQL*PLUS before I create a new report region.
Consequently, I copy the code into the region wizard to create the new page. However, since we have upgraded to Version 3.1, virtually every report I have tried to create has created the following error:
ORA-06502: PL/SQL: numeric or value error: character string buffer too small
It would appear that a maximum of 960 characters can be used to create the region/page. Perversely, once the page/region has been created, I can then edit the source and include as much code as I want (so far I've not run up against a limit)
As it's just annoying, but not stopping me doing what I wanted to do, I've not got around to mentioning this error previously, but it occurred to me that I should (so I am!)
David

Hi David,
Thank you for reporting this. Unfortunately, this was a regression introduced in Application Express 3.1. The workaround is to edit the region, as you suggested. This has been filed as Bug 6956070 and will be corrected in the forthcoming Application Express 3.1.1 patch set.

ORA-06502: error when inserting into table via db link with long datatype

Folks,
I am getting the following error:
ORA-06502: PL/SQL: numeric or value error: character string buffer too small.
This occurs when an insert is done via a database link into a table that has a LONG data type for one of the columns, and the string contains some carriage returns and or line feeds.
I have checked by removing the db link, and inserting into a local table with identical column data types, where there is no error.
So this might be another db link bug?
So I need to remove the carriage returns and/or line feeds
in my pl/sql block in the page process. I have tried
l_text := REPLACE(l_text, CHR(10), ' ');
l_text := REPLACE(l_text, CHR(13), NULL);
but still getting the ORA-06502. Would really appreciate some advice here, please.
Cheers
KIM

Scott,
Time to 'fess up':
My fault sorry, the error was coming from another page process where I had allowed insufficient string length for one of the variables, and my error message did not identify the page process clearly.
This leads me to make a request for future releases, could the system error messages state which page process caused the problem?
One other thing I notice, and this might be a feature not a fault, the page processes are numbered: "Page Process: 3 of 5". However process 3 is not the 3rd one to be processed, and probably refers to the order in which they are created. Should the number reflect the process order?
Cheers
KIM

All of the external jobs are executed by a specific shell script that dynamically queries a table in the database with all the steps/programs that need to be executed. This varies from job to job. The script receives several parameters that are used to extract the task information.
If we run the same script from the OS, with the same parameters, the script runs to completion and no error is raised. We have tested this exhaustively and have never had the script raise any OS level errors.
Even a simple external script (e.g. a one-line shell script with something like "sleep 10") returns the same error code. The alert log always shows the same error text for every job:
ORA-12012: error on auto execute of job 73527
ORA-27369: job of type EXECUTABLE failed with exit code: No child processes
In our company we have at least 3 other similar 11g SE/Enterprise Linux/VMWare installations, and ours is the only one with this issue. I have had an open SR with Oracle support since January 2010 on this problem, but that has been an endless cycle of questons, replys, information requests, and requests for more info. No progress whatsoever. Since the jobs run to completion, it is not preventing us from workign with the scheduler, but the end users have become a little complacent with the "Error" status attached to their jobs so if one really fails, it may get missed.
The only difference we know of between our installation and the other similar installs is that we use Arcserve Agent for Linux to do (cold) backups to a remote Arcserve host. The other 3 sites use other backup software.
What we have observed is the following:
1. If we simply bounce the database, the problem persists.
2. If we shut down and restart the virtual server OS, the problem persists.
3. If we shut down the VMWare host server (and all the other VM's on that host!) and restart it, the problem persists.
4. If we shut down the virtual server OS and make a significant change to the server (e.g. add a new virtual disk) and restart it, the scheduler runs fine and no error is reported. But only until the next backup cycle. Then the problem returns and is persistent until the next time we make a similar significant change in the host virtual machine.
With no clear suggestions from Oracle Support, we are at our wit's end as to what we might be able to do to resolve this issue. There does appear to be a cause and effect link to Arcserve, but implementing a different backup solution is not an option at this time.
I wanted to post this issue in the hope that someone may have a tip or suggestion that could lead to a solution.....

I think it should be a better solution to create a package,
and put your own TYPES and procedure into it.
CREATE OR REPLACE PACKAGE PKG_XXX IS
TYPE TYP_TAB_CHAR IS TABLE OF .... ;
PROCEDURE P_XX ( Var1 IN VARCHAR2, var2 IN OUT TYP_TAB_CHAR );
END ;
Then in your Form :
Declare
var PKG_XXX.TYP_TAB_CHAR ;
Begin
PKG_XXX.P_XX( 'user_name', var ) ;
End ;

ORA-21700 Error when running C# stored procedure to do a spatial query

Hi All
I'm having trouble running a C# stored procedure that (via another object) that falls over running a spatial query with the following error.
OAR-21700 object does not exist or is marked for delete
If I take the sql of the spatial query out and run it separately in SqlPlus it runs as expected.
If I use the object that executes the spatial query via NUnit (i.e. executed on the client, rather than the server) it also works as expected.
Can anyone help? Is there some issue using Oracle Spatial queries with the Oracle Database Extensions for .NET?

I can indeed. Here is a slightly simplified version:
SELECT secondary_catch.mi_prinx AS primarykey
FROM mapinfo_data.secondary_catch
WHERE sdo_relate (secondary_catch.geoloc,
(SELECT geoloc
FROM training_6.building_polygons
WHERE building_id = 10002507117),
'mask=anyinteract querytype=WINDOW'
) = 'TRUE'
Interestingly, if I attempt to run this query inside a C# stored procedure using the implicit context connection (i.e. OracleConnection.ConnectionString = "context connection=true") it fails with the error I described above.
If however I create a new connection and connect as a regular user on my database, the query works correctly.
So in that sense I have a workaround, but I'd like to avoid using it if I can as creating a new explicit connection is an overhead I can do without.

Syntax error when running ActionFileToXML.jsx or trying to install xtools

I have an action set (actually a few) that I would REALLY love to rename but the actions are calling "sub" actions within the action set which means that the action set name is hard-coded into the actions in many places.
Originally, I tried to edit my actions with a hex editor to try and change the name and references but realised I was limited to renaming with the same number of characters unless I parsed the file first... so I gave up on that. Then I came across Xbytor's awesome ActionFileToXML script, but I get a syntax error when running both the To and From XML scripts at root.@date = Stdlib.toISODateString();
I then figured I would go straight for the latest xtools instead but when running the install (in CS2) I get a rather long syntax error and so the install fails. The script mentioned that there is a log file that I should email to Xbytor, but I figured I would post here instead of bothering him directly so he has more of a choice about whether he wants to be bothered by me Or maybe someone else can answer if it is a stupid newbie problem.
Thanks heaps!
Gab
ETA: I'm running CS2 on XP if that makes any difference. If so, I may be able to use a friend's Mac with CS3.

Thanks for the quick (and very useful) response!
I made the changes to the mentioned files and the scripts were able to
progress further, but only until the next E4X syntax (node.@key=key;).
Rather than continue to hack at your code, I figured I should downgrade to a
previous version (as you also suggested). I initially tried v1.5 and the
ActionFileToXML worked perfectly but ActionFileFromXML failed with an
illegal argument error.
Before looking too deeply into the error, I figured I would try v1.6 and
found that both the scripts were able to complete successfully. The
resulting atn file has a couple of bugs in it (such as "Set current layer"
having a knockout setting of which causes the action to crash),
but nothing that I can't just copy back from my original script.
Thanks HEAPS for your assistance and for the awesome scripts in the first
place! Extremely greatly appreciated!
