ORA-28267: Invalid NameSpace Value after upgrade to 11.1.1.5

Hi Guys,
So after we upgraded to 11.1.1.5 to fix an issue which effected 6 out of our 350 source tables in interfaces, we've hit a problem now which is effecting all 350 interfaces.
We are using a dblink from our 11.2.0.2 DWH to a 10.2.0.2 source database. When ODI goes to load the target table (reading from a C$_ collection view with the db link in it) Im hitting ORA-28267: Invalid NameSpace.
A little digging suggests it might be down to the jdbc driver.
In my 11.1.1.3 install I see this :
/oracledi/agent/drivers/ojdbc6.jar
in my 11.1.1.5 install I see this :
oracledi/agent/drivers/ojdbc6dms.jar
I've tried the obvious of renaming the ojdbc6dms.jar to a backup and copying in the 11.1.1.3 driver ojdbc6.jar in in its place but I see no change (restarted agent)
Can anyone suggest anything ? Do I need to start messing with classpaths in odiparams.sh ?
I have logged an SR already, waiting to jump through the usual hoops before I start getting suggestions.
Thanks in advance,
Alastair

OK I swapped out 4 occurances of the driver :
11gODI/modules/oracle.jdbc_11.1.1/ojdbc6dms.jar
11gODI/odi_misc/ojdbc6dms.jar
11gODI/oracledi/agent/drivers/ojdbc6dms.jar
11gODI/oracledi/client/jdev/extensions/oracle.odi.navigator/lib/ojdbc6dms.jar
with the ojdbc6.jar from the 11.1.1.3 install ( I got mine here : /oracledi/agent/drivers/ojdbc6.jar )
And it seems to be working fine now.

ORA-28267: Invalid NameSpace Value Using DB Link

Hi ,
Getting the
ORA-28267: Invalid NameSpace Value
RA-02063: preceding line from dblink12
I am trying to access the dblink through a datasource and I am using a managedBean in session scope to do it.
The code for accessing db link through managed bean is ,
Connection con = new ConnectionHandler().getConnection();
String sql = " select name from table@dblink12";
Statement stmt = null;
ResultSet rs = null;
String retValue = null;
try
stmt = con.createStatement();
rs = stmt.executeQuery(sql);
SelectItem item = null;
if (rs.next()) {
retValue = rs.getString("name");
finally
ConnectionHandler.close(rs, stmt, con);
System.out.println("retValueARU: " + retValue);
It works when I am trying to run through jDeveloper but not in the standalone weblogic installation.
Any help will be appreciated.
Thanks

Thank you for your kindly answer,
I forgot to say that oracle agent it's a standalone Oracle agent configured as in OBE documentation to run on port 20910 (and it's working)
OraclediAgent it's an ODI JEE agent running on port 8001 (and it's generating the Invalid NameSpace Value error but only for the interface SQL_as_Source and with the dblink inside the query).

ORA 28267: invalid namespace value executing sql on table in different db

I have a procedure in a package, in which I need to execute a select statement on a different db, for which I created a db link. Executing this in my IDE (sqldeveloper) works fine and returns expected value. But when I invoke this package via jdbc, it fails with the above sql exception. Looking at the error documentation/help was not useful so far.
The statement looks like this:
srcSqlstmt := 'select count(*) from ' || srctabname || '@' || srcDBName || ' where ' || columnname || ' is not null';
where srcDBName is a database link that I created, to another database which contains srctabName.
Appreciate any tips on resolving this. Thanks !

It appears that you've established a connection through the listener to one database and are trying to make a call-out to another. This is like a external procedure call but your call doesn't know how to reach the other listener. Why don't you create a view using a database link? Then, the call out would know where to go?
I recently blogged some database link stuff if you need syntax. You can find it here:

"ORA-28267 Invalid NameSpace" with APEX 4.0.1 and WebLogic server

Hi all,
I have a page that has a simple query as Region Source. It all worked fine on Apex 3.2 with the iAS mod pl/sql gateway.
Query goes like this:
select servername, a.capture_name, a.status, a.source_database, a.captured_scn, a.applied_scn, b.state_changed_time, b.state
from DBA_CAPTURE@DBLNK_STRM_PADATARP a, V$STREAMS_CAPTURE@DBLNK_STRM_PADATARP b
where a.CAPTURE_NAME (+)= b.CAPTURE_NAME
(it reads out Oracle Streams status over a database link)
After migrating the page to Apex 4.0.1 and WebLogic (Oracle 11g SOA suite) frontend, the Apex page now gives the "ORA-28267 Invalid NameSpace" error for some strange reason.
Apex will now not validate the query in the edit region source page.
I think maybe the problem lies with the WebLogic setup, but exactly what it might be eludes me.
Anyone able to shed any light on this?
Regards,
-Haakon-

Must have to do with the java based Apex Listener in conjunction with WebLogic and the execution of queries over database links.
Workaround was to create a materialized view in Apex database and select from that instead.

Invalid NameSpace Value when Using DB Link

I am receiving the following error within apex when I try to access data across a database link:
failed to parse SQL query:
ORA-28267: Invalid NameSpace Value
ORA-02063: preceding line from DB_LINK
When I access the same data using a database tool like Toad, I do not get the error.
We are using:
Apex 4.0.1
Clustered WebLogic 10.3.4
APEX_LISTENER_VERSION 1.0.2.238.15.24
Database information
CORE 11.2.0.1.0 Production
NLSRTL Version 11.2.0.1.0 - Production
Oracle Database 11g Enterprise Edition Release 11.2.0.1.0 - 64bit Production
PL/SQL Release 11.2.0.1.0 - Production
TNS for IBM/AIX RISC System/6000: Version 11.2.0.1.0 - Production
I have a different database link that works just fine, the only difference between the db links that I know of is that the one with the error has select/insert/update/delete and the one that works has select only.
Has anybody ever seen this?
Thanks,
Michelle

Carl,
Ok. Here's the results. Using a PL/SQL region with the function throws the same error (string buffer too small).
So I checked the length of company_name and the longest string value is 47.
Then I checked the _XL function and got the same error. This is even showing in SQL Workshop's SQL Commands.
SELECT APEX_ITEM.SELECT_LIST_FROM_QUERY_XL(
1,
company_num,
'SELECT company_num, company_name FROM pmd.company@CORP'
FROM pmd.company@CORP
ORA-06502: PL/SQL: numeric or value error: character string buffer too small
Thank you,

Note 1054131 - Invalid DB objects after upgrade

HI,
We performed a migration from SAP 4.6C/Oracle9i.solaris to SAP 4.6C/Oracle10g/HPUX.
Now we need to upgrade SAP4.6C/Oracle10g/HPUX to ECC6.0.
As a prerequisite, I have checked the note
Note 1054131 - Invalid DB objects after upgrade
And I ran the script
SQL> SELECT OWNER, OBJECT_NAME, OBJECT_TYPE FROM DBA_OBJECTS

All the invalid objects are package body, can anyone help me how to proceed with this, can I proceed my upgrade to ECC 6.0 or do I need to delete the package body.
If I want to delete the package body,can you pl give me the commands and also post which whether I need to execute any steps
Pl help

Hi,
I guess you are talking about the Oracle Upgrade and not ECC Upgrade, as following are the pre-requisites for an ECC upgrade.
Making Database-Specific Preparations for Oracle
1. Check the value of parameter shared_pool_size:
4 Preparation
Making Preparations at the Database Level
Oracle 9.2: Check the value in file $ORACLE_HOME/dbs/init<SID>.ora.
Oracle 10.1 and higher:
select NAME, VALUE from v$parameter where name=shared_pool_size;
select NAME, VALUE from v$parameter where name=shared_pool_reserved_size;
If the value is lower than 150 MB, increase it to at least 150 MB (400 MB is better), and restart the
database.
2. Log on as user <sapsid>adm at the operating system level.
3. Log on to the database as the Oracle user system with sqlplus
4. Check the resource quotas of the database user SAPR3 or SAP<SAPSID>:
Oracle error 1536 can occur during the upgrade if the resource quotas of database user SAPR3
orSAP<SAPSID> are limited. Make sure that these quotas are unlimited. Check whether the table
DBA_SYS_PRIVS contains one of the following entries:
grantee=SAPR3/SAP<SAPSID>,privilege=UNLIMITED TABLESPACE,adm=YES
grantee=SAPR3/SAP<SAPSID>,privilege=UNLIMITED TABLESPACE,adm=NO
To do this, enter the following SQLPLUS statement:
select * from dba_sys_privs where grantee = SAPR3/SAP<SAPSID>;
If this entry does not exist, enter the SQLPLUS statement:
grant unlimited tablespace to sapr3/SAP<SAPSID>;
5. Log off from the database with the command quit.
6. Only if using the dictionary managed tablespaces function:
Make sure that the storage parameters MAXEXTENTS and NEXT have the correct values for certain tables and indexes. Otherwise, they may overflow during the upgrade. The Oracle-specific upgrade SAP Note contains the tables and the required minimum values.You can display the current settings with BRSPACE. The index names are not constant. However, you can also determine these names with BRSPACE. SAP Note 11777 describes how to change the parameters NEXT and MAXEXTENTS.
7. Only valid for: SAP R/3 3.1I
Make sure that parameter OPTIMIZER_MODE is set to OPTIMIZER_MODE=RULE.
For Oracle 9.2, check and, if necessary, edit the following Oracle profile:
$ORACLE_HOME/dbs/init<SAPSID>.ora
For Oracle 10.1. and higher, use the following statements:
Sqlplus /nolog
Connect /as sysdba
Alter system set OPTIMIZER_MODE=RULE scope=spfile;
8. Only if you do not switch off archiving during the upgrade:
If you want to leave brarchive running during the upgrade to avoid archiver stuck situations (brarchive -f ...), proceed as follows:
a) Create a temporary copy of brarchive:
4 Preparation
4.23 Making Preparations at the SAP System Level
cp /usr/sap/<SAPSID>/SYS/exe/run/brarchive /tmp
b) Start brarchive as user ora<sapsid> from the temporary directory /tmp/brarchive -f ...
c) After the upgrade, delete the copy of brarchive.
This procedure avoids upgrade errors caused by the program files being overwritten during the upgrade.
9. If your database version is already higher than the minimum version for the new release, we recommend that you exchange the DBA tools (such as BRSPACE) for the upgrade. The Database Software Oracle DVD for the database contains the up-to-date tools that you unpacked on the current kernel when you migrated the database. After you execute PREPARE, unpack this archive again into the exe subdirectory of the upgrade directory. This overwrites the DBA tools optimized for the minimum required database version with the tools best suited to your database version.
And if you are talking about an Oracle Upgrade then you just need these to compare once you have upgraded to 10g.
3.9 Checking for Invalid Database Objects
This optional step lets you check if there are any invalid database objects before the database upgrade to Oracle database 10g starts. After the upgrade it helps you distinguish database objects that have become invalid due to the upgrade process from those that were already invalid to start with.
Procedure
1. Execute the following commands:
SQL> spool invalid_objects
SQL> select unique object_name, object_type, owner from dba_objects where status
= 'INVALID';
SQL> @?/rdbms/admin/utlrp.sql
SQL> select unique object_name, object_type, owner from dba_objects where status
= 'INVALID';
SQL> spool off
A list of invalid objects before the upgrade is now generated.
2. Check the list of invalid objects after the upgrade.
If any objects in the list from before the upgrade are also in the list of invalid objects after the upgrade, you can be sure that this is not due to the upgrade process.

Suhas

ORA-39001: invalid argument value, could be because of the db_link (is not seen by the owner of the code, by the schema which has the rights to run the code).

Hi All,
I'm facing problems Checkboxes in a form.
I created a form and report on a table. one of the fields on the form is a checkbox and when ever I want to create a new record or update with more than one value for the checkkbox I obtain the following error:

ORA-12541: TNS:no listener after upgrading from 11.1.0.6 to 11.1.0.7

Numbers do not accept negative values after upgrading to Snow Leopard

I have iWork 9 installed in Leopard, and after upgrading to Snow Leopard, Numbers don't accept negative values, e.g. -141. They are defined as text and are aligned left in the cell, even if the cell is defined for numbers. Positive values are defined as numbers and aligned right.
All my statistics are wrong now. I don't where to find a sollution. Need to fix this asap.

I may guarantee that the cell contains a standard minus symbol.
I entered in the Index.xml to see if something was odd.
All is perfect.
I can't imagine that the OP replaced deliberately a wrong char by a correct one before sending the file to my mailbox.
And I repeat,
(1) in the file which I received, the cell was really treated as a text one.
(2) on my machine, on the OP's alternate machine, on the OP's alternate user account, resetting the cell's status to numbers apply well.
So, if a third party component is the culprit, it would be easy to identify: it must be in one of the user account able to receive third party items which means
<userAccount>:Applications
<userAccount>:Library:Address Book Plug-Ins
<userAccount>:Library:Fonts
<userAccount>:Library:Contextual Menu Items
<userAccount>:Library:LaunchAgents
<userAccount>:Library:PreferencesPanes
<userAccount>:Library:Scripting Additions
<userAccount>:Library:Services
<userAccount>:Library:Widgets
But from my point of view it would be more efficient to try to search a culprit in the
<userAccount>:Library:Caches folder.
An efficient tip would be to compress every subfolder of this folder as a .zip file and trash the original file.
Reboot so that the account restarts without the caches.
If th account continue to fail, my idea was bad.
If it behaves well, the culprit was one of the caches.
unpack them one by one so you will get the wrongdoer.

ORA-01017: invalid username/password after DB copy

I am trying in my DR server. i am getting the following error ORA-01017: invalid username/password.
I have install SAP 4.7, windows 2000 adv , Oracle 9.2 (same as my Productin). then copied only the control files and the data files to the new location. both systems are the same the only diffreance is the production system is in domain and DR is not on the Domain
I cannot put the DR in domain as the name, SID, Noumber are the same as production. how can change this and get the DR server up and working ?
Is there a better way for this ?

Hi Rehan,
If everything is identical on both servers, and the only difference is in the domain, then you are probably hitting an OPS$ issue.
The OPS$ usernames in the DB should look like
- In the primary host (included in the domain)
 OPS$DOMAIN\<SID>ADM
 OPS$DOMAIN\SAPSERVICE<SID>
- In the DR host (out of the domain)
 OPS$<SID>ADM
 OPS$SAPSERVICE<SID>
I assume the OS users (sidadm and sapservicesid) are also identical on both hosts.
Good luck
Alfonso

Invalid SQL command after upgrading to Oracle 9i

After upgrading to Oracle 9i, the SQL queries in some of our existing reports are no longer valid. The Oracle error returned is "old style outer join () can not be used with ANSI joins". It appears that the SQL query generated by Crystal Reports is correct in that it uses "LEFT OUTER JOIN" instead of just naming the tables separated by a comma, but it also includes the "()" qualifer on the matching columns which is no longer allowed. Is there any way to overcome this error short of rewriting the reports based on a command?

Hello,
A couple suggestions come to mind.
Business Objects tend to take problematic SQL generation very seriously at least on the SQL and Oracle platforms (due to their widespread use) and I would first grab the latest database/engine hotfixes to be certain it hasn't been tracked and corrected already. If you can clearly reproduce this issue (sounds like you can) then it should be easy to convince the support team at BOBJ to track the issue. However...
Since their hotfix release cycle is rather slow especially for items that have workarounds (even sometimes painful workarounds) you may want to consider using a Stored Procedure instead of a Command.
Commands have a notorious history of issues/limitations that tend to burn you later - especially when you have to update many reports. A stored procedure would likely render the + qualifier a moot point.

Invalid login credentials after upgrading to 3.0.1

I have upgraded our apex2.1 version to 3.0.1. When trying to login for the first time I entered my database user name in the workspace field and enter my database user name and password as per upgrade instructions. However, all I get is the error 'Invalid login credentials'. The upgrade instructions do not mention any additionals action steps that must be taken. Can anyone please advise how to solve this problem.
Thanks, Richard

I had the same problem and tried about everything with no success, until ...
I changed the ADMIN password using the apxxepwd.sql script (can be found in the root of the 3.0.1 apex directory). Run this script under sqlplus as "sys/password as sysdba" and enter twice the ADMIN password when prompted for '&1'. Login on http://localhost:8080/apex/apex_admin, you'll be prompted to change the password. Change the password (may be the same as the old one) and now you can finally login as ADMIN.
I did this on APEX 3.0.1 on a Oracle EXPRESS 10.2.0.1.0 on Windows Vista, and suppose this must work on other platforms too.

ORA-31038: Invalid number value: "NaN"

Hi Experts,
we are struggling with double fields in certain xml-files. In this files, the fields contain 'NaN', what should be standard conform according to IEEE (http://www.w3.org/TR/xmlschema-2/#double). The problem appears as we are trying to load these files into the xmltype-columns in the database.
Thanks in advance
Michael

XMLTYPE column, which has a XML-Schema underneathI guess that the XMLType column has an object-relational storage. If yes, per default a double is stored with a NUMBER datatype. If it is the case, you have to modify the XML Schema to use something like the following:
<xs:element name="n" type="xs:double" xdb:SQLType="BINARY_DOUBLE"/>With this setting a BINARY_DOUBLE will be used instead of a NUMBER and, therefore, the error will be avoided.
