ORA-29913 & ORA-29400

I am running the package "Load Sales Administration" and hitting the below error message.
2014-01-21 14:31:21.615 WARNING SQLCommand execution failure: ORA-29913: error in executing ODCIEXTTABLEOPEN callout
ORA-29400: data cartridge error
error opening file ../../demo/file/SRC_AGE_GROUP.txt_000.log
I checked the permissions on the file SRC_AGE_GROUP and it is set to "Read and Write". Please let me know how to oversome this error and run the package succesfully.

Hi,
There is something to do with the external table that is referring to the file that is used to load data.
In your package check the definition of the external table, whether the files are kept in the correct oracle directory or not.
Also if you are maintaining a cluster server kind of environment , check that the file is present in both the location to which the oracle directory refers to in the definition of your external table.
hope this helps you to solve your problem.

Errors: ORA-29913 ORA-29400 KUP-03154, when executing SEM_APIS.LOAD_INTO_STAGING_TABLE

Hi all,
I use Oracle 12c Spatial and Graph and I need to load a N-QUAD file with large literals.
To do so I first create a directory and a source external table
SQL> CREATE DIRECTORY DATA_DIR AS '/tmp';
SQL> EXECUTE sem_apis.create_source_external_table(source_table => 'STAGE_TABLE_SOURCE', def_directory => 'DATA_DIR', bad_file => 'CLOBrows.bad');
SQL> ALTER TABLE "STAGE_TABLE_SOURCE" LOCATION ('data.nq');
then I change the READSIZE parameter of the external table (because the literals of the file are more than 512KB).
SQL> ALTER TABLE STAGE_TABLE_SOURCE DEFAULT DIRECTORY DATA_DIR ACCESS PARAMETERS (READSIZE 1048576);
the I try to load data into the staging table
SQL> EXECUTE SEM_APIS.LOAD_INTO_STAGING_TABLE(staging_table => 'STAGE_TABLE', source_table => 'STAGE_TABLE_SOURCE', input_format => 'N-QUAD');
but I get the following error:
ERROR at line 1:

I could not find any information about error KUP-03154.
Any hint about how to solve this problem will be very appreciated.

Yes all privileges and permissions seem to be OK.
To be more specific, the linux user (oracle) that executes sqlpls has both read and write permissions both on data directory and the input N-QUAD file.
The SQL user is the owner of the directory object and it has also been granted the SELECT privilege on external table and SELECT, UPDATE on staging table.
I think that the problem is something about the external table and the large literals of my input file (e.g., a literal consists 658KB). Because after changing the location of the external table to this file, even a simple query like counting its tuples causes the same error. On the other hand if I use a file with smaller literals everything works fine.
Best regards

First of all I must remind you this is not a free support forum. Also everyone here is volunteer.
This means using words like 'urgent' and 'asap' is usually considered inappropriate as there is paid support.
In your transcript I notice you have no

I also notice in your external table definition your location directive appears to be incomplete
It should be

Hi,
Yes if I put it on the server it works.
But if I put the file on the client in a shared folder and put the ip address as below:
10.97.140.59\mydata
it doesn't work.
So it seems that this will work if the file is on the server and not on any client.
If that be the case then it is a definite disadvantage.
thanks for ur reply.

Exception: ORA-29913: error in executing ODCIEXTTABLEFETCH callout ORA-3065

Dear Experts,
Need your help. We export data from oracle 11g database and import into oracle 10g database.
We have created external tables with same DDL in both export and import schema.
we are able generate datadump files at export side successfuly. However, when we try to query the datadump files at import side we are getting following error:
Exception: ORA-29913: error in executing ODCIEXTTABLEFETCH callout ORA-30653: reject limit REACHED
In the external table definition we have defined the reject limit as zero as we don't want any records to be rejected.
This issue occurred after we deployed the fix for an issue, which is -> In one of the table we store the xml of the modified record of some core table. And if the records contains control characters [ chr(0) to chr(31), expect chr(9), chr(10) and chr(13) ] then xml fails to validate and our export failed.
To fix it, we added the code to set the event at the start of the export rountine using command:
/*Replace the erroneous character with corresponding character reference*/
EXECUTE IMMEDIATE 'ALTER SESSION SET events = ''19119 trace name context forever, level 0x200000''';
After this, the export worked fine but import failed.
I have no clue what this error message is suggesting, expect the reject limit thing which I can't set to unlimited.
I would be grateful to have your comments on this. Please let me know if you need futher information.
Many Thanks

Hi,
What happens if you set that event on the importing side too?
Is there no other way to remove the speical characters - can you not use functions against the xml string directly in the routine that populates the external table - why are you using the event?
Cheers,
Harry

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 .

SQL Loader and Error ORA-01847/ORA-01839

Hi,
While using the direct loading in SQL-LOADER when we get the ORA-01847/ORA-01839 all the other records are getting errorred out. It goes fine with the conventional loading.
Should I use some parameters or anything to make sure that all the other records are not rejected when we get the ORA-01847/ORA-01839 error while going with the DIRECT loading.
Thanks
Jibin

In internet I found this short message:
“AL32UTF8 is a multi-byte characterset,that means some characters are stored in more than 1 character, that's true for these special characters.
If you have same table definitions in both databases you likely face error ORA-12899.
This metalink note discusses this problem, it's also applicable to sqlloader:
Import reports "ORA-12899: Value too large for column" when using BYTE semantic

By metalink, I can see the Note linked to a one Oracle Internal Bug for Oracle 11g.....
I'm waiting you suggestion... thanks very much in advance.

ORA-20006: ORA-01722: invalid number ORA-06512: at "APPS.WF_NOTIFICATION"

Hi,
I am having a wft program, which checks a function activity and depending on the value returned sends difference notifications.
The package body completed successfully from backend and while running the workflow program it sends a notification also. But while opening the notification it gives the following error,
ORA-20006: ORA-01722: invalid number ORA-06512: at "APPS.WF_NOTIFICATION", line 5328 ORA-06512: at line 5
I have 3 procedures in my package body and all the 3 procedures have exceptions defined as follows, if they are using any workflow activities.
==========================================================
EXCEPTION
     WHEN OTHERS THEN
          WF_CORE.context (

          document_type,
          SQLERRM
RAISE_APPLICATION_ERROR (-20006, SQLERRM);
==========================================================
But I am not able to figure out what is causing this error. What does this "line 5328 ORA-06512: at line 5" in the error message indicate?. My package body has only 600 lines. And why is the error message not displaying the procedure name? though I have defined the procedure name in the exception.
What is the best way to get the procedure name in the error message? So that it becomes easier for identifying which procedure is causing the erro?
Please let me know.
Thanks

Hi,
Instead of the RAISE_APPLICATION_ERROR command, just replace that with RAISE;
The error is coming out of the package that is sending the notification (WF_NOTIFICATION), which is invoked when you open the notification. I'm guessing that line 5 is the line in your code though.
Are you using documents to send the notification, or are they purely defined in the .wft file?

Difference between ORA-00018 & ORA-00020

Hi experts,
I am confused about ORA-00018 & ORA-00020, it easier to understand how number of session increased [ora-18],
but what are the special causes that increase number of oracle processes [ora-20] ?
Thanks in advance.

There is a relationship between sessions on a database and the
number of
processes. What happens if we increase the number of sessions without
increasing the number of processes???
The parameters SESSIONS and PROCESSES determine the
size of two arrays in the SGA.
If you try to create more sessions on an instance than specified
by the SESSIONS parameter, you will get an ORA-00018: maximum
number of sessions exceeded.
If you try to create more processes on an instances than specified
by the PROCESSES prameter, you wil get an ORA-00020: maximum
number of processes exceeded.
The number of sessions and processes on your instance can been
seen using a COUNT(*) against V$PROCESS and V$SESSION.
Your job is to determine resonable values, so your users can continue
to work without getting neither ORA-18 nor ORA-20 during normal
conditions. (A run away job, that keeps starting new sessions is not
a normal condition, and it should be stopped by ORA-18 or ORA-20
whichever happens first).
You can join the two V$-views using the columns V$SESSION.PADDR
and V$PROCESS.ADDR.
It is quite normal to see a 1:1 relationship between processes
and sessions. However one OCI-program can create multiple
sessions belonging to one process. Users of Oracle Portal
will experience this behaviour.
The default value for SESSIONS is 1.1*PROCESSES + 5.
It is appropriate for some databases and inappropriate for
others (e.g. Oracle Portal).
Also, I remember a limit on the OS regarding the number of processes
allowed per Oracle user - also I know there is a semaphore
relationship.
On HP-UX there is a kernel parameter called NPROC. Like
PROCESSES and SESSIONS it should have a reasonable
value.

Errors - ORA-01034, ORA-27101 & Linux-x86_64 Error: 2: No such file or dir

I have installed Oracle 10g database and AS 10g on SUSE linux EE 10 (SP2)
When I try to log in as system/system using sqlplus locally on the server, it works fine. However, when I try the following I get error messages:
SQL> conn system/system@botsdb
ERROR:
ORA-01034: ORACLE not available
ORA-27101: shared memory realm does not exist
Linux-x86_64 Error: 2: No such file or directory
I tried the same from my laptop through sqlplus and the error message is the same.
I checked if the database was up and to check this I executed follwing commands whicle still being logged as system/system:
SQL>Select * from v$database;
SQL>Select * from v$instance;
SQL>Select * from tab;
These do bring results. Also if I try to start up the database again, it gives error message that the database is already up. I have restarted the db number of times, checked if my listener was listening on the service BOTSDB and these all seem fine.
It is very intriguing that when @BOTSDB is attached while connecting, the connection fails.
Can someone please guide me to sort this error?
Thanks and kind regards,
