Problem with character set with servlets and Oracle 9i AS

I am deploying a servlet with Jserv on a Sun machine.
My servlet is working but some special characters in text fields like "i", "h", "`" (French language) are replaced by "?" when refreshing the HTML pages.
Is that a Jserv or Oracle 9i AS settings problem or machine settings problem ?
Thanks for you help

The solution to this problem is described in MetaLink note #211920.1. But this note is published with LIMITED access as it involves using a hidden parameter.
You can get access to the note through Oracle Support only.
The problem itself is solved generically, if the source database is at least 10.1.0.3 and the target database is 10.2

Problem with character set - Reports 11.1.1.4

Hi!
I have a problem with Oracle Reports 11g regarding character set configuration. The default character set WE8ISO8859P1 works, so PDF reports have a regular display except for Eastern European (EE) letters which are replaced by "¿" sign.
So, when I set any other character set in reports.sh, which would be a normal step to get EE letters, I'm always getting Greek Alphabet in PDF reports. Why Greek Alphabet?
The character sets I tried to use are: EE8ISO8859P2, UTF8 and AL32UTF8.
I changed uifont.ali and included PDF Subset with all four Arial font variants and, of course, I placed all fonts in fonts folder which is pointed by REPORTS_FONT_DIRECTORY.
In Reports Builder everything works fine, but when I have to deploy the report to the Reports Services, the problem occurs.
Also, when I've tried to execute PDF report using In-Process Reports Server (rep_wls_reports_hostnameasinst1) instead of AS Instance Reports Server (RptSvr_hostnameasinst1, which is a regular server), I'm getting Greek Alphabet in PDF reports even if the default character set is WE8ISO8859P1 in reports.sh. What is wrong with it? Where is Greek Alphabet configured?
The production environment is 64-bit Oracle Linux 5.6 with Weblogic 10.3.4 and Forms&Reports 11.1.1.4. Forms works fine with character set EE8ISO8859P2 defined in default.env file.
Thanks in advance!
Regards,
Dejan

Thank you, Denis!
Doc 300416.1 was very useful but Note 356221.1 - A Practical Methodology on Porting Reports from Windows to Unix with Different Font is actually crucial for configuring Reports on Linux.
Also, there is a bug in 11.1.1.3 and 11.1.1.4, which can be fixed using the patch ( Note 1138405.1 - PDF Reports With Font Subsetting Raises Error "Bad /Bbox" on 64-Bit Linux ).
Kind regards!

Problem with character set UTF-16 LE

Hello.
There were difficulties with character set change, using function convert ()
The matter is that in the list v$nls_valid_values the character set AL16UTF16LE does not appear, during too time the inquiry is successfully carried out
convert ([some-national-characters], ' CL8MSWIN1251 ', ' AL16UTF16LE ').
But at giving on an input of the data stored in CLOB, there is an error "a character set is not supported"
What are possible ways of the decision of a problem?

You can try to use DBMS_LOB. SUBSTR to access LOB data like in the following example:

Our Java application is built with java 1.4 version and oracle 10g

Our Java application is built with java 1.4 version and oracle 10g version database, is it possible to upgrade oracle database to 11g?

is it possible to upgrade
Yes. SE and the other editions have a migration/upgrade utility, not seeing any mention of that program in the XE license docs. To upgrade to 11gR2 from 10g, the 10g instance must be at patch 10.2.0.2 or higher.
So if you're a GUI dba, might be out of luck. But the the XE install has the catalog upgrade scripts that need to be run, there is a MOS note explaining the manual upgrade steps.
Or set up a brand new 11g database instance and datapump your user schema(s) from the 10g instance to the new 11g instance. The database doesn't care what java version you're using, it just does what its told with the data. DDL, DCL, DML ... its not much different. Quite a few new features in 11g.
But if you're after JVMs that piece is not supported with XE.

Problem exchanging values between a Servlet and Thread???

Hi Everybody,
I have got a problem exchanging values between a Servlet and a Thread...
The actual thing will go like this
I take a request from JSP which is served by a servlet..
A thread is invoked in the servlets into which the parameter values taken from JSP page is sent...
In between the thread needs to be suspended for a moment, relieve the control back to the servlet and then come back with the new values modified in the servlet...
How is this achieved?
Please give ur suggestions regarding this...
Thanks in advance

I really have no clue how you can use URLConnection to do that!
Could you please explain in the following scenario how it can help me as an alternative solution to the following:
Non-Servlet A continously running & saving to some prop regularly
--> servlet B reads prop file regularly --> display continously on a jsp file
I wish I could do a servlet A --> servlet B-- > display jsp scenario but I do not know how to have servlet A continously running while keep the servlet B interacting with the jsp.

Transferring Data between Databases with Character Sets UTF08 and US7ASCII

Hi,
I am trying to transfer data from Oracle 10g (character set :UTF08) to Oracle 8i ( character set: US7ASCII). I have tried the transfer using the DBLinks and found that there is no way the data could be transferred from 10g to Oracle 8i.
The last option available is to use staging database for transfer. The staging database would be Oracle 10g only but the character set would be US7ASCII. I am expecting that since the character set is US7ASCII, this would be able to get compatible with Oracle 8i (US7ASCII). Secondly, Transfer from 10g to staging 10g should also work, since staging 10g would support UTF08 character set.
Kindly tell me if this option would work or if there is any other way around.
Thanks

You possibly have a fundamental problem,which is more important than any technical issues. If your UTF8 (Unicode) database stores non-english characters you will lose these characters when transferring.

Problem with character set (ubuntu linux)

hello everyone.
I 'have already installed oracle-xe-universal_10.2.0.1-1.1_i386 in ubuntu.
The problem is that greek characters from the db appear like ??????.
How can i set the right nls_lang character set to solve the problem in ubuntu linux?
Thank you in advance!

Character code point translation is in the realm of the client, try setting NLS_LANG environment variable.
If your client programs handle UTF8, as do many linux utilities, that is the best choice, set your <language>_<locale>.<characterset>, i.e.
export NLS_LANG=AMERICAN_AMERICA.AL32UTF8
Or french_france, or german_germany ... depends on the locale you want to use. Try a `putty` session to the host, the terminal can be set for many different character sets, i.e. ISO8859-<n> a.k.a. the WE8<n> or Western European, UTF, etc. under Window/Translation.
Try a few select ... from dual; statements in sqlplus with a literal, and different unicode values- the unistr() and dump() functions can come in quite handy.
select unistr('\ac20 euro' ) from dual;
... € euro ...
select dump( unistr('\ac20 euro' ) ) from dual;
... <ascii codes for the character values> ...
select dump( unistr('\ac20 euro' ),16 ) from dual; -- this one for hex dump

Problem with Character set

Hi,
I am facing some problems with Oracle character sets.
I have set the database character set as UTF8.
I have set the environment variable NLS_CHAR to Portuguese_Portugal.UTF8.
I insert a Portuguese text for varchar and clob columns in a table.
However when I select the text from that table, I get some junk values for the clob.
Any help is appriciated. Thanx in advance.

I have tried it using UTF8 chracterset also??
As fa as your problem is concerened, I think u have to set the

and same for nls_nchar_characterset column also..
Thanks in advance

Problem with Character Set after upgrade

Hello,
I have a probelm and was wondering if anyone has seen this before.
I have been running Java 1.4.2_13 for a while now on some Windows servers. About a month ago we upgraded to Java 1.6.0_12.
We are reading input files that are in the character set Big5 HKSCS. After the upgrade our application started to report certain characters as invalid. Some of the characters are 0xD843, 0xD844.
These should be valid characters and were in the previous version of Java (1.4.2_13).
Has anyone seen this?
Thanks in advance,
Jerry

The [Supported Encodings|http://java.sun.com/javase/6/docs/technotes/guides/intl/encoding.doc.html] page for the Java 6 release describes that charset as
Big5 with Hong Kong extensions, Traditional Chinese (incorporating 2001 revision)You would know more than I do about that 2001 revision (or at least, not less than I do, since I know nothing about it). Perhaps that's the source of your problem?
Edit: especially since the [Supported Encodings|http://www.j2ee.me/j2se/1.4.2/docs/guide/intl/encoding.doc.html] page for Java 1.4 doesn't mention the 2001 revision.

Problem with Linus Ubuntu 7.04 and Oracle-Xe debian package

Hi all,
Installed Oracle 10g XE on my Ubuntu 7.04 using universal Debian Package : oracle-xe-universal_10.2.0.1-1.0_i386.deb. No problem during the installation . After finished the installation, I configured the database to use port 6000 and its password (Listener port set to default).
But when I tried to access the database home page using "http://127.0.0.1:6000/apex", it cannot be accessed. Then I tried to verify my database server using /etc/init.d/oracle-xe status and here's the output:(before it, I make user the database was realy online by typing /etc/init.d/oracle-xe start)

Oracle Character sets with PeopleSoft - AL32UTF8 vs. UTF8

We currently have PeopleSoft FInancials v8.8 with PeopleTools 8.45 running on Oracle 9.2.0.8 with the UTF8 character set.
We plan to upgrade to Oracle 10.2, and want to know if we can and should also convert the character set to AL32UTF8.
Any issues?
(A couple of years ago, we were told that AL32UTF8 was not yet supported in PeopleSoft).

Right now, something strange, Oracle recommand do not use anymore UTF8, and Peoplesoft recommand do not use AL32UTF8 yet.
You can read the solution id #719906, but anyway, AL32UTF8 on PT8.4x should works fine.

Expdp with network_link and different character sets for source and target?

DB versions 10.2 and 10.1
Is there any limitation for implementing expdp with network_link but target and source have different character sets?
I tried with many combinations, but only had success when target and source have the same character sets. In other combinations there was invalid character set conversion (loose of some characters in VARCHAR2 and CLOB fields).
I didn't find anything on the internet, forums or Oracle documentation. There was only limitation for transportable tablespace mode export (Database Utilities).
Thanks

Hi DBA-One
This link
http://download-east.oracle.com/docs/cd/B19306_01/server.102/b14215/dp_overview.htm#CEGFCFFI
is from Database Utilities 10g Release 2 (10.2) (I read it many times)
There is only one thing about different character sets.
I quote:
Data Pump supports character set conversion for both direct path and external tables. Most of the restrictions that exist for character set conversions in the original Import utility do not apply to Data Pump. The one case in which character set conversions are not supported under the Data Pump is when using transportable tablespaces.
Parameter VERSION also doesn't play role here, because the behaviour (character set) is the same if I use for target and source only 10.2 or (10.2 and 10.1) respectivly.

Non supported character set with ojdbc14.jar

Hi.
I have an application that uses JMS/AQ and works great under JDK1.4 and with libraries:
-classes12.jar
-nls_charset12.jar
I looked at the oracle web site that says you should use the new JDBC drivers(ojdbc14.jar) but I fail to get it working. I keep getting;
oracle.jms.AQjmsException: Non supported character set: oracle-character-set-178
at oracle.jms.AQjmsSession.addDurableSubscriber(AQjmsSession.java:2616)
at oracle.jms.AQjmsSession.createDurableSubscriber(AQjmsSession.java:2124)
at oracle.jms.AQjmsSession.createDurableSubscriber(AQjmsSession.java:1872)
at prevision.socketserver.JMSThread.checkForNewAlarms(JMSThread.java:84)
Any help would be greatly appreciated!
Best regards,
Christer Nordvik

hi Christer,
I have looked at the drivers download page at:http://otn.oracle.com/software/tech/java/sqlj_jdbc/htdocs/jdbc9201.html and there isn't any nls_charset12.jar for JDK1.4. I've tried using the one with JDK1.3
There isn't any nls_charset12.jar for 1.4, its the one that comes with 1.3, just wanted to check it you are using the latest version of nls_charset12.jar
BTW are you running this program from command-line or app server ? Incase of app server the latest jar's must be replaced in oc4j_home/jdbc/lib dir.

Boolean types with entity framework code first and oracle provider

Working in a application that has to work in oracle and sqlServer. In SqlServer we have used "Bit" to store booleans and in oracle number(1).
Have check other threads in this forum, but didnt find any that fix my problem, sorry if this may have been discused before.
We have created a code first model were we find few bool properties mapped to database fields.
for example:
public partial class ZPruebaBooleano
public int Numero { get; set; }
public bool Booleano { get; set; }
Mapped as:
this.ToTable("ZPRUEBABOOLEANO", schema);
this.HasKey<int>(t => t.Numero);
this.Property(t => t.Numero).HasColumnName("NUMERO");
this.Property(t => t.Booleano).HasColumnName("BOOLEANO");
Also, sw added to the application configuration file (for simplicity we have test it without the use of any additional dll):
<oracle.dataaccess.client>
<settings>
<add name="bool" value="edmmapping number(1,0)" />
<add name="byte" value="edmmapping number(3,0)" />
<add name="int16" value="edmmapping number(4,0)" />
<add name="int32" value="edmmapping number(9,0)" />
<add name="int64" value="edmmapping number(18,0)" />
</settings>
</oracle.dataaccess.client>
I am confident that the provider factory read it when creating the model, because it provokes an exception if i add an invalid entry in any of the type names mapped in the file.
As i have find in other forums, this should work. But now i am not sure if should work always, including code first.
I have this exception when i excecute the code (translated from spanish, sorry for any mistake):
Type 'Edm.Boolean[Nullable=False,DefaultValue=]' from 'Booleano' to type'PruebaBooleanos.ZPruebaBooleano' is not compatyble with 'OracleEFProvider.number[Nullable=False,DefaultValue=,Precision=38,Scale=0]'
Its funy that says Precision=38. The database is Number(1), i am sure about that, in fact this is the script:
CREATE TABLE ZPRUEBABOOLEANO
NUMERO NUMBER(15),
BOOLEANO NUMBER(1)
Also, i find it interesting that i was having this mistake even when i was not informing the table i was maping, like if the oracle provider didnt even check if the column was number(anything). Right now is well maped, table and schema.
I have test to create an integer property wrapped by the boolean one, as we can see in this code.
namespace PruebaBooleanos
public partial class ZPruebaBooleano
public int Numero { get; set; }
public bool Booleano
get
return iBooleano == 1 ? true : false;
set
iBooleano = value ? 1 : 0;
public int iBooleano { get; set; }
in this last case i ignored the boolean and mapped the integer.
That worked ok in oracle. But added 2 problems:
1. It fails in SqlServer, because in sql server is bit
2. Cant query the entity model using the boolean property as it is not maped to Database.
I could change the bit field in SqlServer to Number.
But i would like to keep bit in sqlserver and number(1) in oracle.
Anyone had a similar problem?
I am open to any ideas, thanks !!!

It's cool. :)
Sure. I can upload an EDMX file that works against my database if you want to look at it. The relevant parts are probably much like you'd expect. I've removed some columns from this version to make it easier to read.
From the SSDL:
        <EntityType Name="PARAMETER">
          <Key>
            <PropertyRef Name="PARAMETER_CD" />
          </Key>
          <Property Name="PARAMETER_CD" Type="number" Nullable="false" Precision="4" />
          <Property Name="PARAMETER_ACTIVE_INDR" Type="number" Nullable="false" Precision="1" />
        </EntityType>From the CSDL:
<EntityType Name="PARAMETER">
          <Key>
            <PropertyRef Name="PARAMETER_CD" />
          </Key>
          <Property Type="Int16" Name="PARAMETER_CD" Nullable="false" />
          <Property Type="Boolean" Name="PARAMETER_ACTIVE_INDR" Nullable="false" />
        </EntityType>From the C-S mapping:
<EntitySetMapping Name="PARAMETER">
            <EntityTypeMapping TypeName="Model.PARAMETER">
              <MappingFragment StoreEntitySet="PARAMETER">
                <ScalarProperty Name="PARAMETER_ACTIVE_INDR" ColumnName="PARAMETER_ACTIVE_INDR" />
                <ScalarProperty Name="PARAMETER_CD" ColumnName="PARAMETER_CD" />
              </MappingFragment>
            </EntityTypeMapping>
          </EntitySetMapping>Also worth noting that the EDMX mapper probably won't set the provider and token correctly:
<Schema Namespace="Model.Store" Alias="Self" Provider="Oracle.DataAccess.Client" ProviderManifestToken="11.2" xmlns:store="http://schemas.microsoft.com/ado/2007/12/edm/EntityStoreSchemaGenerator" xmlns="http://schemas.microsoft.com/ado/2009/02/edm/ssdl">Full version is available at http://www.hiredgoons.ca/DataImport.edmx . This is an early development one so I make no apologies for not renaming columns to something readable. ;) It does work correctly as I've had it in testing (taking data from a 170MB excel file and putting it into Oracle using the model). It was created using DB First.
When you have it load at runtime, you need the application configuration settings to map bool to number(1). If that's in app.config or web.config it'll pick it up. Probably worth noting that if you don't have the configuration setting and you load this, the model doesn't validate correctly. As soon as you try to create a DbContext from it, you get an immediate exception that number(1) doesn't map to boolean.
