Query abort - invalid character

Following screario:
I have 2LIS_03_xx extractor. This extractor contains 0POSTXT. This field contains sometimes 001, 002, 003, 004, etc.
Not always. But sometimes.
Now the user wants to analyse this textfield. In detail: only 001, 002, 003,....the other freetext is irrelevant for him.
My intension is to create a new object - with key as 001, 002, 003...and add then the corresponding longtext.
E.g. 001 = cars, 002 = planes, 003 = tanks,....
In mapping I would mapp the textfield to the new InfoObject and add to ODS (we are on 3.5).
That works - data could be loaded.
When I execute the query I receive following error message:
003 Contains invalid characters (Hex 123....).
Query could not executed.
Text in 003 is not other than in 001, 002, 004,....
Any idea?

Hi Pascal,
Can you let us know what the text characters are for 003? The problem could be lowercase letters, in the
standard lowercase letters are not allowed unless you flag the option in the infoobject in RSD1.
Best Regards,
Des

  • "Invalid Character" error when executing a 13KB query with ADO

    Hello
    I want to execute a query using an ADO Recordset using the Open method. When calling this method, an ORA-911 "Invalid Character" raises. I can say that the SQL runs fine, because using the SQL*Plus utility it works.
    I have a 11g client installed, and the target database is in a 9i server; my PC uses WinXP SP2.
    What could be wrong?
    Thanks a lot.

    Well there's a 32K limit in Oracle. (But it can be overcome using dynamic sql).
    You basically end up putting the text in an associative_array which has to be sequential.
    There should be info on askom.oracle.com as I initially posted the question there.
    13KB of characters is a lot of query text, and it could easily be the provider.
    Try the microsoft ADO provider and see if you get the same problem.
    There was another company which had a provider (which you had to pay for) , can't remember its name , but it seemed to be the best.
    I would seriously question why you need to pass a 13KB string to oracle though.

  • SQLException : query java.sql.SQLException: ORA-00911: invalid character

    Hi folks
    I am not sure why this is happening. Only thing I can think of is field table_name has spaces then when I tried trim it does not like it.
    Please help
    Thanks a lot!
    --------Here's the code ---------------
    I have simple query (oracle database table names to extract and count the number of rows in each table) . This is the code snippet.
    try {  // creating a table in the database
    // querying mytable
    String query;
    query = "select table_name from user_tables;";
    ResultSet rs = stmt1.executeQuery(query);
    ResultSet rs1 =null;
    Statement stmt2 = null;
    while (rs.next())
    System.out.println("table name : " + rs.getString(1) );
    rs1 = stmt2.executeQuery("select count(*) from " + rs.getString(1));
    } catch (SQLException e)
    { System.out.println("SQLException : query " + e);
    }

    ORA-00911 invalid character
    Cause: Special characters are valid only in certain places. If special characters other than $, _, and # are used in a name and the name is not enclosed in double quotation marks (�), this message will be issued. One exception to this rule is for database names; in this case, double quotes are stripped out and ignored.
    Action: Remove the invalid character from the statement or enclose the object name in double quotation marks.
    So, I think you problem is a semicolon at then end of your query.
    Hope this helps,
    Boris

  • XML invalid character -  a single quote problem

    Hi, I am reading in an xml file, then write the file to output. The problem is that the input file has a strange single quote character [ *�*  ] - lets call it single quoate A, which is different from [  *'*  ] , that is the key next to the [ ; ] key on an English keyboard - lets call it single quate B. And in fact there isnt a key to input single quote A, I guess the appearance of single quote A is due to encoding.
    If I open the input xml file in browser, it works ok and displays the single quote A.
    Once I read in the xml file into memory, by debugging I can still see that single quote A is corrected encoded;
    However once I rewrite the same content to output, the single quote A character is changed, and if i open the file in browser, it says 'invalid character' because single quote A were changed when written to output and cannot be rendered.
    Both input and output xml are using UTF-8 encoding. How can I solve this problem please?
    The xml file looks:
    <?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8" ?>
    <content>....1980�s (Peacock and Williams, 1986; Keay, 1984)</content> My code for reading
    String _xquery ="//content/text()";
    Document _xmlDoc= DocumentBuilderFactory.newInstance().newDocumentBuilder().parse("myxml.xml");
    XPath _xpath = XPathFactory.newInstance().newXPath();
    NodeList nodes = (NodeList) _xpath.compile(query).evaluate(_xmlDoc, XPathConstants.NODESET);
    List<String> res = new ArrayList<String>(nodes.getLength());
    for (int i = 0; i < nodes.getLength(); i++) {
        res.add(nodes.item(i).getNodeValue());
    String valueToOuput=res.toString() //this is the value to be output to xml, it shoud look like "[....1980�s (Peacock and Williams, 1986; Keay, 1984)]"my code for writing xml
    Element root=new Element("root");;
    Element content= new Element("output-content")
    content.setText(valueToOutput);
    root.addContent(content);
    PrintWriter writer = new PrintWriter(new FileWriter(f));
    new XMLOutputter().output(domDocument, writer);
    writer.close();

    Hi, sorry I have fixed the problem... instead of using PrintWriter, I used Fileoutputstream, and it solved the problem. Thanks!

    Hi,
    You may try the hotfix in KB 974930:
    An application or service that queries information about a failover cluster by using the WMI provider may experience low performance or a time-out exception
    http://support.microsoft.com/kb/974930
    Cause:
    This problem occurs because the WMI provider responds to the query requests very slowly. The time that the WMI provider takes to complete the query requests affects the following performance measurements:
    The ability and reliability of the service or application
    The speed of generating a status report about the failover cluster
    Therefore, a slow response of the WMI provider may cause the application or service to function abnormally.
    For more information please refer to following MS articles:

  • JMX: Invalid character '*' in key part of property

    Hi:
    While trying to retrieve the model mbean attributes, I am seeing
    the following exception --
    javax.management.MalformedObjectNameException: Invalid character '*' in key part of property
    at javax.management.ObjectName.construct(ObjectName.java:459)
    at javax.management.ObjectName.<init>(ObjectName.java:1304)My ModelMBean extends the DefaultModelMBeanProvider class.
    The mbean is registered correctly with the mbean server, i notice the succesful registration when i deploy the application to the application server.
    The following code registers the mbean programmatically with the mbean server
    ObjectName name = null;
    name = new ObjectName(":type=myManager,name=myConfig");
    // register MBean. It is registered under a domain
    // named after the application that registered it
    factory.registerMBean(name, <instance of the mbean class>)
    Now, to retrieve the attributes of the mbean, I am querying for my MBean using the following API
    ObjectName oname = SDKJMXUtil.queryName(mgmt, new ObjectName(appName+":type=myManager,name=myConfig, *"), null);
    where
    SDKJMXUtil.queryName(....) is ..

    Hi,
    There's a forum dedicated to JMX - You can subscribe
    to this JMX-FORUM from here: http://archives.java.sun.com
    Concerning your question please see below:
    Hi:
    While trying to retrieve the model mbean attributes,
    I am seeing
    the following exception --
    javax.management.MalformedObjectNameException:
    Invalid character '*' in key part of property [...]
    new ObjectName(appName+":type=myManager,name=myConfig, *")The problem is that's there is a white space ' ' between ',' and '*'.
    There are no delimiter characters in JMX ObjectName ' ' has no
    special meaning and isn't ignored - so ' *' is interpreted
    as being a key containing a white space and a star. Star is a special character
    which can't be part of a key, hence the MalformedObjectNameException.
    Try with:
    new ObjectName(appName+":type=myManager,name=myConfig,*")
    and it should work.

  • 'The folder path "C:" contains an invalid character.' ERROR AS I INSTALL iTunes

    hi
    first of all, merry xmas to all that celebrate! i hope you had/have a memorable day!
    and wishing everyone the very best for the new year.
    Now, I have a problem when I try to install iTunes on my computer. I'm running:
    - Windows Vista (Home Basic)
    - iTunes 10.5.2.11
    i have sufficient hard-drive space and sufficient ram. its definetly NOT from that. I originially DID HAVE iTunes already installed on my computer, but I was frequently having problems with establishing a connection through my iPhone 4. So I thought it would be a good idea to delete it and try downloading a new version, then install it fresh!
    I have some computer skills and knowledge, and i know how "most" things work and run. But now I am totally stuck. I run the iTunes software to be installed, but the installer keeps giving me an error message and NOT installing. I've done all the easy and required steps after I deleted the original version of iTunes from my computer, and now I need help from someone who really knows their stuff in IT and computer software. I have a feeling it may be a string of codes that are corrupt or significantly different to what they should be, but thats just my guess! cos like i already said, ive tried all the common fixes already but have been unsuccessful thus far. Some of the things I did were:
    - Restart the computer, re-boot, login to Windows, run the iTunes installation
    - Turn off the computer, wait 10 minutes, re-boot and then run the iTunes installation
    - Delete ALL the "Apple" company software that was still installed on my computer (QuickTime, iPhone Utility, iPod, Bonjour, etc etc)
    - Confirm my "User Account Control" is OFF
    - Run the iTunes installation file from my secondary windows login account (which has "Administrator" privilages)
    - Create a new windows login account, turn off the UAC (User Account Control protection), then try installing iTunes
    - Run disk-error checks on my hard-drives incase there are missing/corrupt/misplaced files that needed repair
    etc etc etc etc
    Nothing worked! THIS BELOW IS EXACTLY THE PROBLEM I KEEP GETTING WHEN I DOUBLE-CLICK ON THE iTUNES INSTALLER:
    - Double click on the iTunes install icon
    - The "Trusted File Security Warning/Confirmation" window appears, requesting I confirm to Run or Cancel the software installation. I click on "Run"
    - A horizontal grey bar appears in the middle of the screen, and quickly fills up green
    - Then a small installation windows appears (Windows Installer) that writes "Preparing to Install". Then it very fast writes a couple different sentences (which is normal), specifically the sentences are "Performing installation checks" and "Checking spacing requirements".
    - immedietly after the previous step, another window appears and I hear the "error" audio tone. The ERROR MESSAGE has the Yellow Triangle logo with an exclamation mark in the middle, and beside it displays the following text (and Ive attatched the screen shot too):
    THE FOLDER PATH "C:" CONTAINS AN INVALID CHARACTER
    then below this message theres the "OK" button which I have no choice but to click on. then the next window that appears is as follows (see screenshot), and it reads:
    iTunes Installer Completed
    The installer encountered errors before iTunes could be configured.
    Errors occured during installation. Your system has not been modified.
    Please run the installer again, or click Finish to exit
    Please I beg you guys to help me, I will be extremely grateful for ALL and ANY advice/tips/assistance/solutions I receive. And would owe you one for sure!!
    Please feel free to write your opinions and thoughts on what I could do different, as Ive used up all my knowledge regarding the matter, and have seriously hit a brick wall now.
    Thanks so so so much, and once again I wish everyone the absolute very best!
    regards.

    Resolution:
    Check for the existence of a hidden folder named %appdata% in the C:\Program Files\Microsoft Application Virtualization\Client folder.  (You will need to un-check the folder options box in windows explorer for "Hide
    protected operating system files" to see it)
    If the hidden %appdata% folder exists, delete it.
    Proceed to uninstall the App-V client
    After a clean uninstall and removal of remnants of the client, reinstall the client again and apply the latest hotfix available (Hotfix 2 for SP2 at a minimum).

    Hi Techies,
    Version Background
    Oracle apps : 11.5.10

    Oracle Reports 6i
    I created a XML output type concurrent program and attached a data definition & template to it.
    My program completed with status "Warning".
    The Error is : An invalid character was found in text content.
    Then i downloaded the XML and opened it in notepad++. I found there are 2 weird characters like this ( , )
    FYI, It is a non-Ascii character so not able to paste it in this forum text field. the characters looks like double sided arrow and a forward arrow.
    I also tried loading the XML locally from RTF Template. Again it throws me same error

  • XML Publisher Report ends with Warning -- Invalid Character Error in XML

    Hi,
    I have migrated the standard report 'Invoice Print Selected Invoices' from Reports 6i to XML Publisher. It has to print a Euro(€) in the report. It does not even generate the XML File fully. It gives the below error in the XML File. When i remove the special character, it works fine.
    Please let me know the settings to ensure that XML file also accepts the special characters. How do i get the Euro symbol printed in XML File with out giving Invalid Character Error?
    ===========================================================The XML page cannot be displayed
    Cannot view XML input using XSL style sheet. Please correct the error and then click the Refresh button, or try again
    later.
    An invalid character was found in text content. Error processing resource 'http://dfw1svdevapp03.ora.rackspace.com:8040/OA_...
    <C_INV_CURRENCY_SYMBOL>
    N class="m">>
    <LINE_UOM />
    <LINE_UNIT_SELLING_PRICE />
    ===========================================================
    The XML File even does not show which character set it uses. The output file starts with:
    ===========================================================
    <?xml version="1.0" ?>
    - <!-- Generated by Oracle Reports version 6.0.8.25.0

    Hi Tim,
    Thanks for your adhoc response.
    I have gone thru the Document 222663.1 and it says that the Developer 6.0.8.23 is required to handle this problem. We are using almost the updated Developer version i.e., Developer 6.0.8.25. So, this should be handled automatically, but it still errors out. Please suggest.
    Thanks,
