Following errors written to the Alert log file. can anybody tell u what is the reason & how we can resolve
ORA-20011: Approximate NDV failed:
ORA-29913: error in executing ODCIEXTTABLEOPEN callout
ORA-29400: data cartridge error
Thanks in advance..

Hi all,
Finally we got the solution.
we faced the issue only after DB migration from 10g to 11.2.
after migration ..some oracle external files, ext tables and oracle directory entries belongs to old DB was also migrated to new DB.
Whenever we are analyzing the schema it tried to access those false objects, which where not actually present in new DB..
Due to this oracle written the error message to alert log file....
Solution:
Try to check all the db directories are valid, or any external table entries are there in db with out actual flat files. if yes remove the entries from db
using
drop directory dir_name
drop table .. statements....
or try to create the needed dir or files with the same name...
Thanks

ORA-20011: Approximate NDV failed: ORA-29913: error in executing ODCIEXTTAB

Hello All,
I am using Oracle 11.2.0.3
in my alert logs I found the below errors:
ORA-20011: Approximate NDV failed: ORA-29913: error in executing ODCIEXTTABLEOPEN callout
KUP-11024: This external table can only be accessed from within a Data Pump job.to resolve that i did the below steps:
SELECT owner_name, job_name, operation, job_mode,
state, attached_sessions
FROM dba_datapump_jobs
WHERE job_name NOT LIKE 'BIN$%'
ORDER BY 1,2; the result was that there is two running jobs and the attached_session flag was equal to 1, something like the below:
OWNER_NAME JOB_NAME            OPERATION JOB_MODE STATE       ATTACHED
SCOTT      SYS_IMPORT_TABLE_05      IMPORT TABLE RUNNING        1
SCOTT      SYS_IMPORT_TABLE_01 IMPORT TABLE     RUNNING        1 so i stopped these 2 jobs using the below statements:
SET serveroutput on
SET lines 100
DECLARE
   h1 NUMBER;
BEGIN
   h1 := DBMS_DATAPUMP.ATTACH('SYS_IMPORT_TABLE_05','SCOTT');
   DBMS_DATAPUMP.STOP_JOB (h1);
END;
SET serveroutput on
SET lines 100
DECLARE
   h1 NUMBER;
BEGIN
   h1 := DBMS_DATAPUMP.ATTACH('SYS_IMPORT_TABLE_01','SCOTT');
   DBMS_DATAPUMP.STOP_JOB (h1);
END;
/now the result become like below as stop pending in the state column:
OWNER_NAME JOB_NAME            OPERATION JOB_MODE STATE       ATTACHED
SCOTT      SYS_IMPORT_TABLE_05      IMPORT TABLE STOP PENDING 1
SCOTT      SYS_IMPORT_TABLE_01 IMPORT TABLE     STOP PENDING 1 for that I did more research and i dropped two temporary external tables after I got their names using the below query:
select OWNER,OBJECT_NAME,OBJECT_TYPE, status,
to_char(CREATED,'dd-mon-yyyy hh24:mi:ss') created
,to_char(LAST_DDL_TIME , 'dd-mon-yyyy hh24:mi:ss') last_ddl_time
from dba_objects
where object_name like 'ET$%'
/but nothing changed in the output of the below query, the state stayed STOP PENDING
SELECT owner_name, job_name, operation, job_mode,
state, attached_sessions
FROM dba_datapump_jobs
WHERE job_name NOT LIKE 'BIN$%'
ORDER BY 1,2; for that I used stop job but with the immediate flag as 1
DBMS_DATAPUMP.STOP_JOB (h1,1); now the result of the query is NOT RUNNING in the state column:
OWNER_NAME JOB_NAME            OPERATION JOB_MODE STATE       ATTACHED
SCOTT      SYS_IMPORT_TABLE_05      IMPORT TABLE     NOT RUNNING   0
SCOTT      SYS_IMPORT_TABLE_01      IMPORT TABLE     NOT RUNNING   0 and I discovered that one of my import jobs that I did not realize that it was running, failed due to a fatal error, it is the one related to the import of one table.
My question:
Now the below query should return zero records no ?
How i can clear the result ? and does it affect any future import jobs for the same table?
SELECT owner_name, job_name, operation, job_mode,
state, attached_sessions
FROM dba_datapump_jobs
WHERE job_name NOT LIKE 'BIN$%'
ORDER BY 1,2;

hi just drop all tables that return be the query below i face some issue after 1 months
SQL> select owner, TABLE_NAME, DEFAULT_DIRECTORY_NAME, ACCESS_TYPE
from dba_external_tables
this error appear due to this table must be cleanup auto when the datadump complete the job ,but it's not dropped as well so when gather statistics this error appear,
so this drop table .

An error is for instance hit in dbms_stats.gather_table_stats for an
external table without its directory (external tables are excluded
when gathering statistics at database/schema level).>

SYS xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx WRR_LPD23678BTW, what is your DB version? if it is already 11g the note mentioned as it is fixed in next version.
Or you can raise an SR too.

may be its due to version issue. you Source database is 10.2.0.3.0 and it should be 10.2.0.4.0
Prerequisite
1. your source database must be atleast 10.2.0.4.0 or Patch set for 10.2.0.2.5 should be installed
2. Time version must be >= 4

Kerberos Authentication between Sharepoint 2013 Foundation - SSRS 2012 - Oracle 11g failing with ORA-12638: Credential retrieval failed

I have set up SharePoint 2013 Foundation, SharePoint Reporting Services and SQL Server 2012 in a single server. I then created a Data Connection to Oracle 11g. Upon testing the connection, it throws the error “ORA-12638: Credential retrieval failed”.
Given below are the steps of installation and configuration.
Installation till basic authentication:
The installation has been done in a
single server.
Installed SQL Server 2012 (Developer version).
Selected only the following features:
Database Engine Services
Analysis Services
Reporting Services – SharePoint
Reporting Services Add-in for SharePoint Products
Management Tools – Basic
- Management Tools - Complete
2. Installed SQL Server 2012 SP1.
3. Installed SQL Server 2012 SP2.
  4. Installed SharePoint Foundation 2013.
5. Created web application (without Kerberos; we did not even create the SPNs).
      The application pool has been configured to use Reporting Services account since it is a single server installation. This account has been registered as a managed
account.
6. Created Site Collection.
7. Verified that Reporting Services is not installed.
8. Installed SharePoint Reporting Services from SharePoint 2013 Management Shell.
9. Verified that Reporting Services is installed.
10. Created a new SQL Server Reporting Services Service Application and associated the Web Application to the new SQL server Reporting Services Service Application.
11. Verified that SQL Server Reporting Services Service Application and its proxy have started. Reset IIS.
12. Created a Site.
  13. Created a Data Connection library with “Report Data Source” content type.
14. Created a Report Model library with “Report Builder Model” content type.
15. Created a Report library with “Report Builder Report” content type.
16. Uploaded an SMDL to the Report Model library.
  17. Added the top level site to Local Intranet instead of as a Trusted Site in the browser settings.
  18. Able to create and save a report using Report Builder.
Hence, basic authentication is working and SSRS is able to connect to Oracle database.
Next we have to configure Kerberos settings between SharePoint and SQL Server.
Implementation of Kerberos authentication
In the Report Server machine, opened the file C:\Program Files\Common Files\Microsoft Shared\Web Server Extensions\15\WebServices\Reporting\rsreportserver.config and added the Authentication Types of RSWindowsNegotiate
and RSWindowsKerberos.
2. Set up the following SPNs.
               a) SQL Server Database Engine service (sqlDbSrv2):
                setspn -S MSSQLSvc/CER1110:1433 CERDEMO\sqlDbSrv2
                setspn -S MSSQLSvc/CER1110.cer.demo.com:1433 CERDEMO\sqlDbSrv2
             In the Delegation tab of the account, selected "Trust this user for delegation to any service (Kerberos only)".
b) Account: SharePoint Setup Admin account (spAdmin2)
     setspn -S HTTP/CER1110:9999 CERDEMO\spAdmin2
                setspn -S HTTP/CER1110.cer.demo.com:9999 CERDEMO\spAdmin2
                In the Delegation tab of the account, selected "Trust this user for delegation to any  service
(Kerberos only)".
c) Account: SQL Server Reporting Service account (sqlRepSrv2)
                   setspn -S HTTP/CER1110 CERDEMO\sqlRepSrv2
                   setspn -S HTTP/CER1110.cer.demo.com CERDEMO\sqlRepSrv2
                   In the Delegation tab of the account, selected "Trust this user for delegation to any service
(Kerberos only)".
3. Configure the Web Application to use “Negotiate (Kerberos)”.
4. Logged in as SharePoint Administrator to the SharePoint server and opened the top level site in the IE browser.
     The Event Viewer logged the login process for the SharePoint Administration account as
Negotiate and not Kerberos.
5. Implemented Kerberos for Oracle database and client.
     Able to connect to the Oracle database via Kerberos authentication using SQL Plus.
6. Turn on Windows Firewall.
7. While testing the site's data connection using Kerberos settings, got the error
“Can not convert claims identity to windows token. This may be due to user not logging in using windows credentials.”
      Note: The Data Connection for basic authentication still worked.
8. Created a Claims to Windows Token Service account (spC2WTS2).
9. Started the Claims to Windows Token Service.
10. Registered the Claims to Windows Token Service account as a Managed Account.
11. Changed the Claims To Windows Token Service to use the above managed account.
12. Verified that the Claims to Windows Token Service account (spC2WTS2) is automatically added to the WSS_WPG local group on the SharePoint box.
      Note: The Reporting Services service account is also a part of the WSS_WPG local group.
13. Added the Claims to Windows Token Service account (spC2WTS2) to the Local Admin Group on the machine having the SharePoint App Server.
14. In the SharePoint box, added the Claims to Windows Token Service account (spC2WTS2) in the Act as part of the operating system policy right.
15. The Claims to Windows Token Service account (spC2WTS2) has the WSS_WPG group configured.
      When the C2WTS service was configured to use the managed account Claims to Windows Token Service account (spC2WTS2) earlier, the spC2WTS2 account was automatically
added to the WSS_WPG local group on the SharePoint box. The WSS_WPG group in turn is configured in c2wtshost.exe.config file.
16. Verified that the Reporting Services account is a managed account and part of the WSS_WPG group.
17. Earlier Service Application Pool - SQL Server Reporting Services App Pool service was associated with the SharePoint Admin account.
      Changed this to associate the Reporting Service account with the Service Application Pool - SQL Server Reporting Services App Pool service.
18. Changed the delegation of the Reporting Service account to constrained delegation with Protocol Transitioning. This is because we are transitioning from one authentication scheme (Claims) to another (Windows Token).
      For this, the delegation has been changed to "Trust this user for delegation to specified services only". Also, selected the sub radio button "Use
any authentication protocol". Selected the Oracle Kerberos service as the service to which this account can present delegated credentials.
      Note: The Reporting Service account already had an HTTP SPN.
19. Next, the goal was to make the Claims To Windows Token Service account match the Reporting Service account.
       For this, we created a fake SPN for the Claims To Windows Token Service account since the delegation tab was missing.
       The delegation has been changed to "Trust this user for delegation to specified services only". Also, selected the sub radio button "Use any
authentication protocol". Selected the Oracle Kerberos service as the service to which this account can present delegated credentials.
20. Restarted the SharePoint server.
21. Tested the data connection with the Kerberos settings again.
       Got the error
“ORA-12638: Credential retrieval failed”.
Can anyone tell me what is wrong with this setup?

http://www.freeoraclehelp.com/2011/10/kerberos-authentication-for-oracle.html
Problem4: ORA-12638: Credential retrieval failed
Solution: Make sure that SQLNET.KERBEROS5_CC_NAME is set in sqlnet.ora and okinit has been run before attempting to connect to the database.

what changed since then?

Any help is appreciated

Hello,
The error occurs as far as your XSL file has incorrect structure. Your have to transform incoming XML in so-called (by Oracle) canonical form i.e.:
<ROWSET>
<ROW>
<FIELD_1>value-for-field-1</FIELD_1>
<FIELD_N>value-for-field-N</FIELD_N>
</ROW>
</ROWSET>
So, assuming your table has three fields : SHIPTO_NAME, SHIPT_STREET, SHIPTO_CITY, - your XSL file should look like following:
<xsl:stylesheet version="1.0" xmlns:xsl="http://www.w3.org/1999/XSL/Transform" >
<xsl:template match=/>
<ROWSET>
<xsl:apply-templates select=purchaseOrder/>
</ROWSET>
</xsl:template>
<xsl:template match=purchaseOrder>
<ROW>
<SHIPTO_NAME><xsl:value-of select=shipTo/name/></SHIPTO_NAME>
<SHIPTO_STREET><xsl:value-of select=shipTo/street/></SHIPTO_STREET>
<SHIPTO_CITY><xsl:value-of select=shipTo/city/></SHIPTO_CITY>
</ROW>
</xsl:template>
</xsl:stylesheet>
Hope this will help.

ORA-01503: CREATE CONTROLFILE failed

Hello.
I'm trying to install an ORACLE EBS 11i on an Oracle Linux Release 5 Update 5 Media Pack v1 for x86 (32 bit) from stage.
The process is going great until the "Creating the database controlfile..." step. It crashes there.

Is there something I'm doing wrong ?
How do I create a new control file and use it ?
I don't know if I gave needed information. If you need more details, please ask and I will try to provide them.
Thank you and regards,

Hi schavali.
Thanks for the quick reply.
I've checked and that file doesn't exists.

For some reason it stops at tx_data9.dbf.
I will try to start the install all over again and comeback with feedback.
I think I will redo the DB stage as well.

ORA-31011: XML parsing failed ORA-19202: Error occurred in XML processing

Hi,
I am trying to update an already existing Sales Order through PO Change Inbound 860. When i am performing changes in the line quantity and scheduled ship date with operation code as "Update" then it is successfully updating the Order and also we are able to generate the POAck for the updated sales order lines. But when i am rejecting one of the PO change lines by checking rejected flag, then order is getting imported successfully(I mean sales order is getting updated successfully) but during the POAck Generation i.e. 865 its raising "*ORA-31011: XML parsing failed ORA-19202: Error occurred in XML processing LPX-00103: Warning: document structure does not match DTD Error at line 1*" at XML Gateway. we are using XML Gateway to process the orders, can somebody help me to get rid of this issue. Thanks in advance.
Thanks,
Sunil Chauhan

Hi Kishan
Thanks for the reply.
Because this is an outbound transaction so i can not provide you the XML file as we are facing issue to generate the same. Also we are using oracle seeded PO outbound Ack map.
In addition i can provide you the DTD file.

It throws the following error.
ORA-31011: XML parsing failed ORA-19202: Error occurred in XML processing LPX-00222: error received from SAX callback function
Can any one advice the solution please.
-Sudheer.

Hi Sudheer,
This is caused by the date format you are using. Probably it is not matching with your NLS settings. Check your NLS settings, what the date format is, and use that in the XML.
Check it with this code:
SELECT XMLELEMENT("date", sysdate) FROM dual;Make sure, you have your NLS_DATE settings in the same format.
Check it with:
SELECT * FROM v$nls_parameters WHERE parameter = 'NLS_DATE_FORMAT'And then make sure it is the same by setting for example:
ALTER SESSION SET NLS_DATE_FORMAT = 'YYYY-MM-DD';Greetings,

[Oracle JDBC Driver][Oracle]ORA-31011: XML parsing failed

Hi,
I have got the following error when i tired to upload an XML file in my application. My application will insert the XML file in to Oracle 10g data base table. (Our DB server is Oracle 10g).
The error is as follows:-
[BEA][Oracle JDBC Driver][Oracle]ORA-31011: XML parsing failed
ORA-19202: Error occurred in XML processing
LPX-00004: internal error "MultiChar overflow"
Error at line 20795

ORA-06512: at line 1
The XML file contains more than 90,000 lines in it. Please help.
Thanks!
Siva K.

Is this a specific problem with 10G release? We are using 10.2.0.4.0.
Using CLOB, We think that this may hit the performance of the application as we are using large XML files.

URGENT HELP !!! ORA-31011: XML parsing failed

Hi,
Oracle 9.2.0.4

No, it is an html file. For test purpose I've taken
welcome.html from ORACLE_HOME installation. Here are
my test:
declare
res0 bfile := BFILENAME('TEMPDIR', 'welcome.html');
res clob;

b BOOLEAN;
begin
Amount:=DBMS_LOB.getlength(res0);
DBMS_LOB.CREATETEMPORARY(res,TRUE);
DBMS_LOB.OPEN(res0, DBMS_LOB.LOB_READONLY);
DBMS_LOB.OPEN(res, DBMS_LOB.LOB_READWRITE);
DBMS_LOB.LOADFROMFILE(res, res0,Amount);
--DBMS_LOB.CLOSE(res0);
b:=DBMS_XDB.createresource
('/MyCONTENT/welcome.html',res);
commit;
end;
declare
