Problems using DBMS_PIPE package

Hi! Im using the SQL Navigator for Oracle to develop PL/SQL code and now I've got a problem with the DBMS_PIPE package. When i use the methods like create_pipe etc. in a normal pl/sql window it works without problems. But when i place such a DBMS_PIPE.CREATE_PIPE... call into a function in my own pl/sql package there's the error PLS-00201: identifiere 'sys.dbms_pipe' must be declared!
what do i have to do to use the dbms_pipe package in a package developed by my own.
thanks in advise
Ingo

login to your SYS schema and grant execute on the DBMS_PIPE package to the oracle user under which you
are creating your PL/SQL procedure:
SQL> grant execute on SYS.DBMS_PIPE TO <username> ;

  • Jar File Problem Using External Packages

    I am having problems creating an Executable jar file that imports classes from my own package.
    I can create an exe jar no problem without using any external packages, but when I use an external package the jar will not execute.
    I am using WindowsXP, my package is in,
    C:/MyClasses/Database
    the class files are stored loose, not in a jar file
    I have tried altering the class-path in the manifest file, but to no joy - I may have not changed the classpath correctly!
    Please help
    Magic

    This is a mine field of "correct programming style."
    External jars, if very general, could be placed in the directory jre/lib/ext.
    In some cases you can unzip the external jars and add them to your own jar.
    The manifest.mf migth be looked into, and of course you need to communicate your patching!
    As you remarked, it might be a problem of class path usage.
    For that the jar tool documentation might explain it better than I.

  • Sincere Eclipse 3.0.2 build problems using a package for all Eclipse Java p

    Hi,
    I had the following problem:
    - jar-file put into a directory (for jdbc-access)
    - Environment variable set in Window/preferences/Java/BuildPath/ClassPathVariables:
    Name: classpath (could be any other name, does not correlate with WIN env. var.)
    Path: C:\java\eclipse\jars\mysql-connector-java-3.1.8-bin.jar
    - class-file was automatically built by Eclipse, error message:
    �. java.lang.ClassNotFoundException: com.mysql.jdbc.Driver
    In Windows I set the classpath environment variable to
    classpath=.;C:\java\eclipse\jars\mysql-connector-java-3.1.8-bin.jar
    In Windows/i.e., a DOS-Shell. It works
    As it didn�t work in Eclipse, I deleted Eclipse and installed it again (from an elder version I had on another workstation)
    After starting Eclipse asked me to rebuild all -> Yes (it then needed some time to do so)
    Then it worked
    So, right here I thought I knew how to go on in other projects using this jar-file, but:
    The same problem appears in another project, but it works in WIN/DOS command line, but not in Eclipse. Project/Clean und rebuilding automatically or manually doesn�t help.
    As a workaround for this project I did in
    Project/Properties/Java/BuildPath/Projects I marked a link to the project where it works (see above), and now it works, too.
    But I am not satisfied, I don�t like trial and error solutions.
    I suppose that Project/Clean doesn�t really clean properly.
    Has anybody made similar experience and knows the real solution?
    Thanks

    What search term did you use??  Here is monodevelop-git already in the AUR.
    It seems it may have been abandonded, but perhaps you could take over that package rather than starting a new one.
    Additionally, a patch is applied in that PKGBUILD.  Perhaps that could be needed to solve your problem.

  • Receiver email encoding problem using mail package

    Hi to all.
    I'm facing a email problem. My company email server is workig fine with emails subject but customers email server is making some strange changes when i use special characters such as 'á' or spanish letter 'n with a tail on the top'.
    I set the field 'Content_Type' of the email to 'text/plain; charset=ISO-8859-1' but isn't working. If i remove those special chars, the subject is OK.
    I also tried to add content conversion in the receiver email adapter in module tab but with no possitive results.
    I'm using SAP PI 7.0 sp14.
    Any idea of what is happening?
    Kind regards,
    Inigo.

    If you want to use non-ascii characters in email subject, then you have to apply a special notation for this, like follows:
    =?utf-8?Q?Auftragsbest=C3=A4tigung?= 
    This is email standard. So I recommend not use non-ascii characters in email subject.
    Regards

  • I am having problems using Numbers package, unable to add specific cells in a column, when I tap "sum" it totals the whole column, rather than the specific cells I want. Would appreciate any help. Thank You Francis

    I am having a problem with adding selected numbers in a column. When I select "sum" the whole column is added, not just the selected cells. I would appreciate any help how to rectify? Many thanks. Francis Anthony

    I don't know if this is the best way but it's pretty easy.
    1.) Select the cell you want the sum in.
    2.) Select the sum function
    3.) In the line where you see =sum(B2:B8) using your finger tap the B2:B8
    4.) Use the backspace key to delete the B2:B8 and it will then show "value"
    5.) You can now tap any cell you want in the sum
    6.) When finished tap the green check mark button at the end of the sum line.
    That pretty much sums it up.
    Good luck.

    By default UTL_FILE.FOPEN opens file with record size up to 1024 characters (including newline). Most likely your code exceeds 1024. Change:
    f:= utl_file.fopen (dir, filename,'w');to something like (assuming none of your records will exceed 10000)
    f:= utl_file.fopen (dir, filename,'w',10000);SY.

    Scott,
    I have never tried to run the package with table functions. Have you tried to create a view
    on your table function and than query the view instead? That may give you the expected
    result.

    Hi,
    I was setting up VMware vCenter 4.1 (probably the only well known and largely used product with this lethal mix) and needed to setup an ODBC access to Oracle on the 32 bit side of Windows to setup the Update Manager server component, which is still a 32 bit application)
    The problem with Oracle configuration is that in no way I found a 32 bit ODBC registered driver after the setup (of the 32 bit client and the 64 database server). I tried some third party driver for oracle (e.g. easysoft).They registered in the 32 bit ODBC manager but they never got a successful connection.
    Also if this vCenter requirement is questionable (more questionable considering that the setup of this 32 component is not allowed on a 32 separate OS, not because it is separate but because is a 32 bit OS) I would get it working.
    Could suggest a way to get this working?
    Thanks
    Fabio D'AlfonsoWhen you install the Oracle client software on Windows (which is necessary to support ODBC, as the Oracle ODBC driver sits on top of the native client software) the ODBC driver is NOT installed by default. You have to go back and do a "custom" install and select the "Windows components".

  • Problem using File sharing  in a small office network

    I have a problem using File sharing on an Imac and Macbook Pro.
    My office has a small network running Windows Small office file server 2003. I have one Windows 2000 PC connected to it and 3 Macs, an 2.4 gHz Intel iMac running Leopard 10.5.6 , a MBP running the same and a Mac Mini running 10.5.
    From the Finder Shared window of the Mac Mini, I can see all the computers on the network. It also used to be the case for the iMac, but the MBP could never see the Windows PC’s, not the server or the Win2000. This wasn’t a big problem as I was communicating between the Macs and using the shared printer on the iMac.
    On Monday Jan 19 the iMac was suddenly unavailable to the other 2 Macs. It was working normally on the Friday. The iMac can access the Mac Mini and copy files to it. The Mac Mini can see the iMac but cannot access it. Even trying to connect as, ends in a failed connection. I have tried rebooting, turning File sharing off and then on again to no avail.
    The iMac now also cannot see the Windows PC’s which it previously could.
    To get files from the MBP for printing, I now copy it to the Mac Mini and acces the folder from the iMac, a very tedious procedure. I don’t know why this happened and am scared that the Mac Mini is going to do the same thing.
    All three computers are also running VMware 2.0 with Windows XP pro, and from VMware the server is visible on all the computers.
    Any help will be much appreciated, I live in a small town in South Africa and the local computer suppliers have no knowledge of the Macs.
    I think that the problem with the iMac may have started after a software upgrade to 10.5.6 but I am not entirely sure.
    Thank you

    Well, you're current method sounds pretty good. But if you want to user a file server, hey go ahead.
    What you want to do when you centralize project files is to keep track of which one is the newest and becareful not to overwrite files with the same name. So you either have to set up individual spaces on the server (separate AFP/FTP folders maybe), or you'll need to run a file checkout service.
    The individual space is cheaper, but it's not much of a difference from backing up to the network drive. Since you have Gigabit connections, you might even opt to save ALL the user files on the server instead of just the project files.
    If you want to run a file checkout service, there's two approaches. You can run a service that can host any kind of file, or you can run a version control system for each kind of application (Photoshop, Word, etc.). Please notice, that as you read further and further along, the methods become more and more expensive and complicated. Once you get to this point, it will be necessary to purchase or build software in addition to the Mac OS X Server package.
