Oracle10g "Globalization Support restrictions"

hi,
I have problem to create Database name with Spanish character Example: I try to insert “Español”).
I found out at “Oracle® Database Globalization Support Guide 10g Release 2 (10.2)” documents(table2-5) , some restrictions.
“Database name” and “Tablespace” name are supported only with single-byte.
I need to know if the restrictions are relevant to oracle version"Oracle Database 10g Release 2 (10.2.0.1.0) Enterprise Standard Edition for Microsoft Windows (32-bit)"
Thanks,
Michal

Hi Kishan,
Here are a few links on the topic of E-business suite customization, they may answer some of your questions.
Customization and Development for the E-Business Suite - http://www.oracle.com/technology/products/applications/development_pesonalization/index.html
OA Framework Personalization and Extensibility Guide (Metalink Doc ID 236618.1)
About OA Framework Integrated Development Environment (JDeveloper9i OA Extension) (Metalink Doc ID 286082.1)
Regarding customizing translations; for OA Framework based applications, translation of personalization can be done either online or through XLIFF. You can generate base XLIFF files from the same screen in which you create the personalization, translate the text using translation tools which support XLIFF, and then upload them to the MDS repository using XLIFF importer. For Forms based applications, there is no method for doing mass translation of Forms personalization. You will need to manually translate the LDT files which contain both the translatable and non translatable attributes. The LDT file can be generated using FNDLOAD. See also Forms Personalization in Oracle Applications (Metalink Doc ID 279034.1).
6. Can the Globalization still work with single/central database hosted in US?
Yes, the database character set determines what characters (language data) can be stored. I recommend going with a Unicode database character set. Oracle's locale sensitive behaviour, such as date & number formatting, collation are all session based; it means that it's possible to have 10 users connecting to one single database, but each user session serving different globalization behaviour.
7. Does the Oracle Locale Builder Tool address Qn#3 above?
The Oracle Locale Builder allows user to define new collation sequences, new languages, new territories and new character set for their database. It affects SQL operations running inside the database only.

Globalization support

Hi
I need a clarification on how to globalize the applications.
The technology used by the client, the internationalizing of Mainframes, J2EE, DB2, VB based Desktops Applications, DW Oracle, BI Cognos
What are the different aspects of internationalizing these technologies ?
Discuss more in terms of what it means to internationalize these technologies. Let me explain this with an example, when we internationalize a database we have to see what would be more appropriate, Unicode enabling, or multibyte enabling. Say if the target application is going to run in English speaking countries only then Unicode enabling would work fine, but if the target markets also include Asian countries where the native language needs double byte enablement, then multi-byte enablement would be more appropriate

9i install hangs at 54% (at globalization support file - udc_zht.txt)

On our Business\Admin WinXP PCs with SP2, I instal 6i forms and reports (including 8i client), then patchset 13, then attempt the 9i client install. Usually, the 9i client install hangs at 54% (at globalization support file - udc_zht.txt). Some 9i installs have worked while others have failed. Identical hardware (IBM ThinkCentres). Any one else had this problem? What was the solution?

SAP Support Restrictions

Hi all,
I have a challenge in the remediation phase of my current rebuild of RAR rule set. I have joined the company and tasked to provision access in a controlled fashion to the SAP support team. Here I have found that there are no depths in the support model and the people on the 1st line support and 3rd line support are not far attached from access rights requirements. We have created posting custom rules as the first part of the project and removed these accesses from them, leaving them with the non posting access on their normal ID and all the rest within their module on their fire fighter. We have only shifted the risk to fire fighter but I donu2019t believe we have accomplished anything. I want to put a controlled support framework in place that does not misuse SPM. How do you restrict access on SAP Support areas in your company?

Hi Chinmaya and others,
Thanks for the reply. This is what we are currently doing, but we have found that the support useru2019s access on the fire fighter are still to open ended and that the support users constantly log onto this user to do daily support and just stays logged on. We have seen that the users do functions on this id that are not stated in the reason code when logging on. Making the Fire Fighter owner just signing of pages and pages of reports not really interrogating them as is required u2013 Due to time restraints
Any other cool ideas of creating a support access model that fits audit requirements.
Regards, Mel

Does oracle10g is supported by XML editor XML Spy??

All:
I have installed XMLSpy 2004 R3 professional edition and trying to Connect Oracle XML DB.
But I am getting error that "Invalid userId or Password".
I am trying to connect to:
Oracle Database 10g Enterprise Edition Release 10.1.0.2.0 - Production
With the Partitioning, OLAP and Data Mining options
Does XML Spy supports Oracle 10g? if so which version?
ANd Plz let me know the steps to Connect..
I appreciate your help and Thanks in Advance.....
Srikanth

You first create a special user for XML DB in this case xml_dev with password masterkey:
CREATE USER xml_dev IDENTIFIED BY masterkey
TEMPORARY TABLESPACE temp
DEFAULT TABLESPACE users;
GRANT connect, resource, dba, xdbadmin TO xml_dev;
CONN xml_dev/masterkey@LOR;
Create some repository folders:
DECLARE
v_return BOOLEAN;
BEGIN
v_return := dbms_xdb.createFolder('/home/DEV/');
v_return := dbms_xdb.createFolder('/home/DEV/xsd/');
v_return := dbms_xdb.createFolder('/home/DEV/lom/');
COMMIT;
END;
Then connect with http or WebDav with port 8080 (maybe what you are missing) :
http://<server>:8080/home/DEV/xsd/
In XML Spy just put the URL user and password, in this case:
http://<server>:8080/home/DEV/xsd/
User: xml_dev
Pass: masterkey
Varify that you have the http server (apache) running on the server.

Globalization Support FAQ available

Please refer to the FAQ for general Q&A .
http://otn.oracle.com/products/oracle8i/htdocs/faq_combined.htm

Hello Temm,
>> but i don't know if i have to include anything in the url, and if so how to do it.
Quoting from the blog entry:
+Using this option in "Application Language Derived From" , will let you specify the language of your application directly in the URL using *&P_LANG*+
So yes, you need to use the *&P_LANG* parameter as part of your URL, and the blog post includes two examples of how to do that.
The valid values for this parameter are listed in the following:
http://download.oracle.com/docs/cd/E17556_01/doc/user.40/e15517/global.htm#BABEIJCD
>> Ideally i would like to use two links on the login page to select between the two languages
And you can do that. For example, you can create two buttons with the action of Redirect to URL, and each URL can include the proper *&P_LANG* parameter.

Upgrade 10.1.0.4.2 to 10.2.0.2 or later

Hello,
Can I upgrade OAS 10gR2 Metadata repository DB from version 10.1.0.4.2 to 10.2.0.2?
My OS is Windows 2003 Server. Are there any limitations in the upgrade?
Anyone could indicate me the steps to follow the upgrade.
Thank you and regards.

Hello,
I have been following "Oracle® Database Patch Set Notes 10g Release 1 (10.1.0.5) Patch Set for Microsoft Windows (32-Bit)" and this document specifies:
1) "Download and extract the p4505133_10105_WINNT.zip patch set installation archive to a directory that is not the Oracle home directory or under the Oracle home directory"
2) Shut Down Oracle Databases
3) Stop All Services
Ant to do the installation interactively:
1) Start Oracle Universal Installer located in the unzipped area of the patch set. For example, Oracle_patch\setup.exe.
Note:
To install Oracle10g globalization support locale definition files, run Oracle Universal Installer as follows:
C:\Oracle_patch> setup.exe oracle.rsf.nlsrtl_rsf:b_cr9idata=true
2) On the Welcome screen, click Next.
3) On the Specify File Locations screen, click Browse next to the Path field in the Source section.
4) Select the products.xml file from the stage directory where you extracted the patch set files, then click Next.
5) In the Name field in the Destination section, select the 10.1.0.x Oracle home that you want to update from the drop down list, then click Next.
In my case, the Oracle home is the OAS_Infraestructure home. It has the Metadata repository that I want to upgrade.
All these steps are totally correct, but it can't found jre.1.1.jar...
I have seen in p4505133_10105_WINNT/Disk1/stage/Patches that I have only until oracle.java.javam. Is this correct??? In total, there are 80 jars.
Any idea to solve the issue??
Thank you and regards.

How to support Globalization in Oracle 8i?

I need to display chinese characters
In Reg Edit :
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\ORACLE\HOMEID\NLS_LANG
Value name :NLS_LANG
Value data :NA
What value to set for display chinese characters?
Regards

See the NLS document per link given above.
Note that the charset part of NLS_LANG setting (language_territory.charset), should match (i.e. let Oracle know) the character set used in the client (the source; application, data file or OS locale environment).
Please use the Globalization Support, for further discussion.

Database support for unicode

Hello, I am in the process uf upgrading database installation scripts so they will support Unicode. I just want to clarify that by changing the Character set to say for example AL32UTF8 and the National Character Set to UTF8 the database will then be able to support Unicode. Do I need to also change all the VARCHAR2 and CHAR2 data types to NVARCHAR2 and CHAR2? When changing the character sets do the database then default to bytes instead of characters for multibyte character storage? Thank you.
-- David

You would not want a situation where some clients have a database character set of AL32UTF8 and are storing the data in CHAR/ VARCHAR2 columns and some clients have a non-Unicode database character set, a Unicode national character set, and store their Unicode data in NCHAR/ NVARCHAR2 columns (I'm assuming from the context that you are some sort of application vendor here so that different clients are trying to run the same application). That would massively increase the complexity of your application code and make testing & supporting the application substantially more difficult.
If at all possible, it is preferable to change the database character set to Unicode for existing databases. This may involve exporting & importing some or all of the data or it may be possible online (there is a chapter in the Globalization Support document that covers character set migration and the various options you have).
Storing data in NCHAR/ NVARCHAR2 columns should generally be a last resort (unless you really know what you are doing and want to leverage different Unicode encodings). You are likely to cause yourself all sorts of headaches trying to support national character set data types.

Non supported character set: oracle-character-set-178

Hi All.
I have a WebService deployed in JBoss server in the HP Unix environment. When it accesses my Oracle Database (the database is in another Windows system), I get this error. My DB NLS details :
NLS_CHARACTERSET : WE8MSWIN1252
NLS_NCHAR_CHARACTERSET: AL16UTF16
Should I change the charset here or should I change it in the client? Any help on how to change the charset is a welcome for me.
Note that I have included the nls_charset12.jar and ojdbc14.jar in the classpath of my application. I have been told that this is an error that an Oracle forum can reply to and hence posting it here.
Thank you.

Perhaps you are mixing client jdbc files. For globalization support, you should use orai18n.jar with odbc14.jar (and a 1.4+ Java VM).
What versions do you have for JDK, Oracle Client/JDBC and Oracle Server?

Implementation of double-byte character support in the Database

Hi experts,
There is an oracle 10.2.0.5 standard edition database running on windows platform. The application team needs to add a column of the datatype double byte (chinese characters) to an existing table. By doing so, will we have to change the character set of the database ? Would implementing this cause any impact on the database ?
Is it possible to change the existing single byte column to the double byte column in a table?
Edited by: srp on Dec 18, 2010 2:21 PM

I think you should post your request to Globalization Support forum Globalization Support with following details:
what is the APIs used to write data ?
what are the APIs used to read data ?
what is the client OS ?
what is the value of NLS_LANG environment variable in client environment
Note that command line SQL*Plus under Windows does not display Unicode data: try to use instead SQL Developer.
Example:
1. run in SQL*Plus:
SQL> desc t;
Name                                      Null?    Type
X                                                  NUMBER(38)
Y                                                  NVARCHAR2(10)

Restrict number of rows to be pulled from PeopleSoft's PS_LEDGER table while importing data in FDMEE

Hi,
We need to know if FDMEE 11.1.2.3.520 product supports restricting number of rows to be pulled from PeopleSoft's PS_LEDGER table.
All the records fetched from PS_LEDGER is getting loaded into TDATASEG table.
Currently, it is trying to pull all the records based on the given "period", "version" and "year" combination. We are looking to restrict rows based on specific account/entity/program/subprogram combination.
If this is can be done, will it be an out-of-the-box functionality or does it require any customization/import scripts/api.
Admin guide does say we can use Jython to filter rows using import scripts. However, it seems to be limited to file not a table as a source.
I have attached a document with the screenshots so that the issue is better understood !
Thanks,
Hari

1)
When you set a column to hidden in a classic report using the method I described, it creates hidden form elements for that column.
<tt><input type="hidden" name="f01" value="" id="f01_0002"></tt>
You should inspect the source to figure out the name value.
Since this belongs to the wwv_flow form, we can therefore get this data with: wwv_flow.f01
Alternatively, you could have used the apex_item API to achieve the same result, which probably gives a bit better control.
http://docs.oracle.com/cd/E37097_01/doc/doc.42/e35127/apex_item.htm#CHDBFHGA
select apex_item.hidden(1, col) || col col
from table
Set that column to a standard report column so it doesn't escape the html.
You can also reference the data in these fields using PL/SQL using the apex_application API:
http://docs.oracle.com/cd/E37097_01/doc/doc.42/e35127/apex_app.htm#CHDGJBAB
2)
As above, setting the column to hidden creates hidden elements on the page. It is simply f01 because that is the only hidden field I would have on my page. With four reports on the page, you would need to be careful not to do the same on the other reports, as you would get inaccurate data. For each report, setting columns to hidden always starts with f01. In that, you would be best to use the apex_item API.
I actually initially ran into this issue when i had a tabular form on the same page as a report with hidden fields, which was causing conflicts in the page processes.
Hope it helps.

Double-byte support in Captive 5

I am currently creating multiple choice exams in Captivate 5 (CP5) and here is my problem. When I paste in the translated text (localized into Chinese-Simplified) from either MS-Word, Excel or Notepad into the question and answer fields in the CP5 Question slide, CP5 is substituting some of the Chinese characters with boxes. I paste the same information into Notepad on my windows 7 PC and everything is OK.
Does CP5 fully or partially support Double-Byte text? If it does, what could I be doing wrong or missing in the way of a service pack or hotfix? My Captivate version is - 5.0.1.624.
Thanks for your help. Dean

Assuming you are using the same double byte character set as your db character set, then the answer is yes. Check out this table in the 9i Database Globalization Support Guide, for more info.
http://technet.oracle.com/docs/products/oracle9i/doc_library/release2/server.920/a96529/ch2.htm#103678
Schema objects refer to table/index/view names etc.
