Oracle Messaging Gateway vs. Oracle Procedural Gateway

What is difference between Oracle Messaging Gateway for IBM MQSeries and Oracle Procedural Gateway for IBM MQSeries? Which one is the best solution for IBM WebSphere MQ integration from architecture design point of view? Does anyone have any documentation on comparing Oracle Messaging Gateway for IBM MQSeries with Oracle Procedural Gateway for IBM MQSeries, for example, pros and cons etc?
Any help will be greatly appreciated.
Yang

Dear Yang!
I have the same problem considering the two possibilities to connect ibm with oracle...
Did you get some useful information or do you have some experience now? If yes could you please update the post!
Thanks

Using oracle procedural gateway to connect to mq series

Hi,
I am working on setting up my connection to export data from oracle database to db2 using mq-series.
MQ-Series client software and oracle procedural gateway v9 are installed on HP-UX .
initsid.ora & initsid.gtwboot file for the gateway are configured. listener.ora and tnsnames.ora are also configured and running.
I created a dblink and then tried to test my connection using the test scripts given by IBM.
I got the following error,
ORA-04052: error occurred when looking up remote object [email protected]
ORA-00604: error occurred at recursive SQL level 1
ORA-28509: unable to establish a connection to non-Oracle system
ORA-02063: preceding line from DCY3
I generated a trace and I got the following information from listener.trc

I researched online and made sure that I have enough swap,memory on my OS.I increased the value for processes in init.ora file.
My log files have not exceeded the maximum limit.
The trace shows that my listener is loosing contact when it is trying to read the driver from /u46/oracle/app/oracle/product/bin/pg4mqc90drv.
I am not sure how to proceed from this point,though I have a thought of relinking my libraries in oracle.
Can anyone give any information on this.

Sending message from oracle to middleware through oracle messaging gateway

Hi,
I am very new to oracle AQ and oracle messaging gateway. I am actually trying to propagate a message from oracle to middleware through oracle messaging gateway.
I have created the link between oracle messaging gateway and middleware(IBM Websphere).
1.*Created an object type with a single attribute of type sys.xmltype*.
create or replace type xpctas_type as object(payload sys.xmltype);
2.*Created a qtable with payload type as xpctas_type, a queue and started the queue.*begin
dbms_aqadm.create_queue_table(
queue_table => 'xpctas_qtab',
queue_payload_type => 'xpctas_type',
multiple_consumers => TRUE
dbms_aqadm.create_queue(queue_name =>'xpctas_q',
queue_table => 'xpctas_qtab',
max_retries => 16);
dbms_aqadm.start_queue('xpctas_q');
end;
3.*Created a transformation that converts user defined type xpctas_type to messaging gateway canonical type sys.MGW_BASIC_MSG_T.*
For this I created a function that converts xpctas_type to messaging gateway canonical type sys.MGW_BASIC_MSG_T.
CREATE OR REPLACE FUNCTION APPS.order_2_basic(my_order in xpctas_type)
RETURN sys.mgw_basic_msg_t
IS
v_xml XMLTYPE;
v_text varchar2(4000);
v_clob CLOB;
v_basic sys.mgw_basic_msg_t;
text_body sys.mgw_text_value_t;
header     sys.mgw_name_value_array_t;
BEGIN
v_xml := XMLTYPE.createXML(my_order,NULL,NULL);
v_basic := sys.mgw_basic_msg_t.construct;
header := sys.mgw_name_value_array_t(sys.mgw_name_value_t.construct_integer('MGW_MQ_characterSet','1208'),
sys.mgw_name_value_t.construct_integer('MGW_MQ_priority', '7'));
IF(LENGTH(v_xml.getstringval())>0 AND LENGTH(v_xml.getstringval())<=4000) THEN
v_text := v_xml.getStringVal();
text_body := sys.mgw_text_value_t(v_text,NULL);
ELSE
dbms_lob.createtemporary(v_clob,TRUE,dbms_lob.session);
v_clob:=v_xml.getClobVal();
text_body := sys.mgw_text_value_t(NULL,v_clob);
dbms_lob.freetemporary(v_clob);
END IF;

transformation => 'Apps.order_2_basic(source.user_data)');
end;
4.     Registered a foreign queue.
declare
v_options sys.mgw_properties;
gv_mq_queue_name VARCHAR2(32);
begin
gv_mq_queue_name := 'MB.O2C.SOFTWARESOLUTION';

provider_queue => RTRIM(gv_mq_queue_name), -- name of MQSeries queue
domain => dbms_mgwadm.DOMAIN_QUEUE, -- single consumer queue
options => v_options );
end;
5.     Added a subscriber with transformation.
begin
dbms_mgwadm.add_subscriber(
subscriber_id => 'sub_aq2mq', -- MGW subscriber name
propagation_type => dbms_mgwadm.outbound_propagation,
queue_name => 'apps.xpctas_q',
destination => 'destq@mqlink',
transformation => 'apps.order_to_basic');
end;
6.     Added a scheduler
begin
dbms_mgwadm.schedule_propagation(
-- schedule name
schedule_id => 'sch_aq2mq',
-- outbound propagation
propagation_type => dbms_mgwadm.outbound_propagation,
-- AQ queue name
source =>'apps.xpctas_q',
-- MGW foreign queue with link
destination =>'destq@mqlink');
-- The remaining fields currently not used by MGW
end;
7.     Enqueued a user defined data type into the qtable.

It has some junk data in the begining. How can I remove this junk data?? Any help provided on this would be of great help.
Experts on oracle mesaging gateway and AQ, Please help.
Thanks & Regards,
Sachin

Hello,
your setup of the message gateway seems to be ok.
Did you check the corresponding versions of the client libraries (*.jar) ? These are the libraries on
db server side (e.g. aqapi.jar, based on your CLASSPATH entries in file "mgw.ora") and for the IBM MQ jars.
Kind regards,
WoG

Messaging Gateway agent not starting

I have configured Messaging gateway for connecting Oracle AQ to Websphere MQ. Oracle version is Oracle Database 10g Enterprise Edition Release 10.2.0.3.0 - 64bit Production on Linux. I was able to execute all the steps as documented in user's guide without any issues. However now when I try to start the Messaging gateway agent, it gives following error ORA-28575: unable to open RPC connection to external procedure agent.
I have tried changing listener.ora without any luck. Is there any compatibility issue between 64-bit linux and MGW? Enclosed below are the entries from my listener.ora

Hi,
I got this working finally. All of the issues were mainly related to properly setting environment variable LD_LIBRARY_PATH. Oracle Metalink helped in solving those issues so I recommend searching there first if you are getting stuck.

Messaging Gateways (MQ for example)

Hi there,
Is it possible to use Enterprise Messaging Gateways on standard edition Oracle.
I would like to give my clients the option of what version they wish to use but need to connect to MQ Series.
If the Oracle Product does not allow this, are there any other 'Gateway' providors that do develop such a bridge for the Standard edition.
Many Thanks

Wrong place to ask this.
This forum is for the Sun MQ, not the IBM MQ. I would suggest, either going to the IBM site for this, or to the http://forum.java.sun.com/forum.jspa?forumID=29 on the JMS specifications.

AQ Messaging Gateway

Hi all,
I am testing Oralce AQ messaging gateway for IBM Websphere MQ. I followed the Oralce MGW setup guide and set up the admin user and the agent user. All was OK so far. But when I exec dbms_mgwadm.startup, the agent would not start. I did see the agent_status of the mgw_gateway view had START_SCHEDULED and STARTING UNREACHABLE. Then it turned to NOT_STARTED. The log shows this: MGW Engine 0 EXCEPTION main
java.lang.NoClassDefFoundError: oracle/jdbc/OracleDriver. I check my Oracle install, and the file is there. And I also has this line for the CLASSPATH in the mgw.ora file: C:\oracle\product\10.2.0\db_1\jdbc\lib\ojdbc14.jar (the very first value on the line). I have looked in the /jdbc/lib folder 20 times now and the ojdbc14.jar file is there. Why am getting the mainjava.lang.NoClassDefFoundError? Please help!
Ben

OK, it turned out that the Oracle installation MGW sample - sample_mgw.ora file has the classpath line wrong:
from the sample file
set CLASSPATH=/myOracleHome/jdbc/lib/ojdbc14.jar:/myOracleHome/jdk/jre/lib/i18n.jar:/myOracleHome/jdk/jre/lib/rt.jar:/myOracleHome/sqlj/lib/runtime12.jar:/myOracleHome/jlib/orai18n.jar:/myOracleHome/jlib/jta.jar:/myOracleHome/rdbms/jlib/jmscommon.jar:/myOracleHome/rdbms/jlib/aqapi13.jar:/opt/mqm/java/lib/com.ibm.mqjms.jar:/opt/mqm/java/lib/com.ibm.mq.jar:/opt/mqm/java/lib:/opt/mqm/java/lib/connector.jar
the colon (:) between each jar file location should be a semi-colon (;). I finally spotted that and replaced it with a semi-colun (;) and now my agent starts running!

How to get Messaging Gateway working with MQ Serieson 9.2 on NT

I wonder if you can help me a little more to get a pilot installation running on NT.
I'm trying to get the Message Gateway set up from a 9i Rel2 instance on Windows NT 4.0 SP6a talking to a remote MQ Series Q. The docs are confusing,as they don't seem to be based on 9i Rel 2.
This is my current config:

when I run dbms_mgwadm.startup, I get ORA-32830: result code -3 returned by Messaging Gateway agent as the last_error_msg when I query mgw_gateway. There is no log generated in $ORACLE_HOME\mgw\log. If I rerun dbms_mgwadm.startup, the agent is reachable - what could be wrong ?

Hi,
-3...An error occurred creating the MGW log file. Verify that the log directory is writeable. The default location is <ORACLE_HOME>/mgw/log.
In documentations is described the following on the link:

What if MGW_GATEWAY view shows LAST_ERROR_MSG of "ORA-32830: result code <value> returned by Messaging Gateway agent?"
The result code may be one of the following:

How to call an Oracle Procedure and get a return value in Php

Hi Everyone,
Has anyone tried calling an Oracle procedure from Php using the ora functions and getting the return value ? I need to use the ora funtions (no oci)because of compatibility and oracle 7.x as the database.
The reason why I post this here is because the ora_exec funtion is returning FALSE but the error code displayes is good. Is this a bug in the ora_exec funtion ?
My code after the connection call is as follows:
$cur = ora_open($this->conn);
ora_commitoff($this->conn);
$requestid = '144937';
echo $requestid;
$rc = ora_parse($cur, "begin p_ins_gsdata2
(:requestid, :returnval); end;");
if ($rc == true) {
echo " Parse was successful ";
$rc2 = ora_bind ($cur, "requestid", ":requestid", 32, 1);
if ($rc2 == true) echo " Requestid Bind Successful ";
$rc3 = ora_bind ($cur, "returnval", ":returnval", 32, 2);
if ($rc3 == true) echo " Returnval Bind Successful ";
$returnval = "0";
$rc4 = ora_exec($cur);
echo " Result = ".$returnval." ";
if ($rc4 == false) {
echo " Exec Returned FALSE ";
echo " Error = ".ora_error($cur);
echo " ";
echo "ErrorCode = ".ora_errorcode($cur);
echo "Error Executing";
ora_close ($cur);
The Oracle procedure has a select count from a table and it returns the number of records in that table. It's defined as:
CREATE OR REPLACE procedure p_ins_gsdata2 (
p_requestid IN varchar2 default null,
p_retcode OUT varchar2)
as
BEGIN
SELECT COUNT (*) INTO p_retcode
FROM S_GSMRY_DATA_SURVEY
WHERE request_id = p_requestid ;
COMMIT;
RETURN;
END;
Nothing much there. I want to do an insert into a table,
from the procedure later, but I figured that I start with a select count since it's simpler.
When I ran the Php code, I get the following:
144937
Parse was successful
Requestid Bind Successful
Returnval Bind Successful
Result = 0
Exec Returned FALSE
Error = ORA-00000: normal, successful completion -- while
processing OCI function OBNDRA
ErrorCode = 0
Error Executing
I listed the messages on separate lines for clarity. I don't understand why it parses and binds o.k. but the exec returns false.
Thanks again in advance for your help. Have a great day.

Rudi

retcode=`echo $?`is a bit convoluted. Just use:
retcode=$?I see no EOF line terminating your input. Your flavour of Unix might not like that - it might ignore the command, though I'd be surprised (AIX doesn't).
replace the EXEC line with :
select 'hello' from dual;

Recently i had my first encounter with ODP.NET and Oracle. I'm developing a a datalayer that can access a stored procedure on an Oracle database.
The problem i'm having is the following:
I'm using this method to pass my parameters to the procedure: http://www.codeproject.com/KB/cs/CustomObject_Oracle.aspx
I have also attempted this approach:
http://developergeeks.com/article/48/3-steps-to-implement-oracle-udt-in-odpnet
I always get the message (litteraly):
Oracle.DataAccess.Client.OracleException: OCI-22303: type &quote;PAC$WEBSHOP_PROCS"."CUSTOMER_IN_RECTYPE" not found.
It sounds weird to me, but what are the &quotes doing here in the error message I see?
Some code i use:
OracleParameter objParam = new OracleParameter
OracleDbType = OracleDbType.Object,
Direction = ParameterDirection.Input,
ParameterName = "PAC$WEBSHOP_PROCS.P_CUSTOMER_IN",
UdtTypeName = "PAC$WEBSHOP_PROCS.WEBSHOP_PROCS.CUSTOMER_IN_RECTYPE",
Value = card
The information i have about the Oracle procedure:
CREATE OR REPLACE PACKAGE PAC$WEBSHOP_PROCS IS
TYPE CUSTOMER_IN_RECTYPE IS RECORD
(CUS_STO_IDENTIFIER NUMBER(2)
,CUS_IDENTIFIER NUMBER(6)
,CH_IDENTIFIER NUMBER(2)
,CH_CARD_VERSION NUMBER(1)
PROCEDURE PRC$WS_VALIDATE_CARD
(P_CUSTOMER_IN IN PAC$WEBSHOP_PROCS.CUSTOMER_IN_RECTYPE
,P_RETURN_CODE IN OUT NUMBER
Any help to cover my problem would be greatly appreciated.
Thx

The only way to call it as is would be via an anonymous plsql block, where you create the record type inside the block. Interacting with the block via ODP would be limited to scalar values.
Here's a PLSQL example just to demonstrate. Here, v1 and v2 are bind variables of scalar type, which you'd setup/bind via ODP instead of the SQL prompt as I did, but I thought this might keep things simpler for the example.
The other choice would be to write a wrapper procedure that takes type OBJECT that you can call from ODP, and inside that procedure convert them to/from RECORD and call the original procedure.
Hope it helps,

Select multiple items from a list box as values for a parameter of crystal report and Oracle procedure

- I have a Product list box (asp.net) used as multiple selected values for a parameter.
- The Product ID is defined in the Oracle procedure as NUMBER data type.
- In my crystal report, I have a parameter field allow multiple values as p_product_id type as Number. This is the code in my Record Selection Formula for the report:
({?p_product_id}[1] = -1 OR {Procedure_name.product_id} in {p_product_id})
- In C#, this is my code
List<decimal?> productUnit = new List<decimal?>();
int counter = 0;
decimal prod;
for (int i = 0; i < lstProducts.Items.Count; i++)
              if (lstProducts.Items[i].Selected)
                            if (decimal.TryParse(lstProduct.Items[i].Value, out prod))
                                productUnit.Add((decimal?)prod);
                                counter++;
       if (counter == 0)
                   productUnit.Add(-1);
ReportingDAO rDataFactory = new ReportingDAO();
retVal = rDataFactory.GetProductReport(productUnit);
public CrystalDecisions.CrystalReports.Engine.ReportDocument GetProductReport(List<decimal?> productUnit)
          CrystalDecisions.CrystalReports.Engine.ReportDocument retVal = new rptProductDownload();
          ReportLogon rptLog = new ReportLogon();
         rptLog.Logon(retVal, "RPT_PRODUCT_DOWNLOAD");
         retVal.SetParameterValue("p_product_id", productUnit);
I keep having the "Value does not fall within the expected range" when I debug. My question is, is the data type I used for procedure/Crystal report/ and C# correct ? I always have problem with the data type. Any help would be
appreciated

Problem in XML Parsing via oracle procedure...

Hi,
I wrote one oracle procedure for xml parsing.
I have one valid xml file which has "encode UTF-8". The XML file contains some comments also. While we are parsing the xml file at that time it is not parse successfully and also it is not giving any error. After the following line it is skip rest of the codes(lines).
dbms_xmlparser.parseclob(l_parser, l_clob);
At the end of the xml file there are some comments which is like " ".
When I am changing the "encode UTF-8 to ISO-88596-1" & removing the comments which wrote on bottom of the file then its working fine, but the files which we are getting from the system is contains the encode UTF-8 and we don't want to preprocess on that xml files. Even if we will do that via shell script or perl script then it will be overhead to the system and in a single stroke our system will parse more than 5k xml files, so if we will do some preprocess on it, it will take some more time approx 1-2 minutes extra.
So, If someone knows any solution of this problem, then please guide & help me on this.
My xml file structure is as follows:-
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<mcd xmlns:HTML="http://www.w3.org/TR/REC-xml">
     <child>
          <child1>32.401 V5.5</child1>
          <child2>ZoneGate</child2>
     </child>
