Question about Communication with Oracle 7

Hi,
Generally we use Oracle Snapshots for Communication, but since Oracle 9.2.0.5 do not work with Oracle 7.1.5.2.4. we are thinking about do use Oracle Interconnect for this Link.
Now I have the following two Questions about Communication with Oracle 7:
1. Is an Adapter for Oracle 7.1.5.2.4 available?
2. From your experience, does it make sense to install Oracle Interconnect for implementation of only one read only Link with 3 Tables if an OAS for BI is available?
Thanks,
Hannes

1. The Oracle database adapter is for Oracle 8i and up. I checked the code needed in the database and doubt that will work in Oracle 7.
1. The other option Advanced Queuing also needs 8i and up.
2. For me it doesnt make sense that you want to connect to Oracle 7. Oracle 7 is unsupported and should not have to be developed against. Also the license costs for Oracle Interconnect ~17K without any discount is a bit steep for read only links to three tables. Having the OAS means you wont have to pay another additional ~17K for the apps server.

  • Question about function with in parameters

    Hello,
    I have a question about functions with in-parameters. In the HR schema, I need to get the minimum salary of the job_id that is mentioned as an in-parameter.
    this is what I am thinking but I dont know if it's correct or not or what should I do next!
    create or replace function get_minimum_salary (i_job_id in varchar2)
    return number
    as
    begin
    SELECT min_salary INTO min_sal
    FROM jobs
    where job_id = get_minimum_salary(xy);
    RETURN i_job_id;
    end get_minimum_salary;
    thanks in advance
    EDIT
    Thanks for your help all.
    Is it possible to add that if the i_job_id which is the in type parameter does not have a minimum salary then use the following function to register an error:
    create or replace procedure insert_error (i_error_code in number,
                                                      i_error_message in varchar2)
    as
    begin
    insert into error_table (error_user, error_date, error_code, error_message)
    values (user,sysdate,i_error_code,i_error_message);
    end insert_error;
    This function is basically to say that an error has occured and to register that error, at the same time I need to print out the error using the dbms_out.put_line.
    Any ideas of how to do that?
    Thanks again

    HI
    I have made little bit changes in ur code. try this
    create or replace function get_minimum_salary (i_job_id in varchar2)
    return number
    as
    v_Min_sal jobs.salary%type=0;---- Variable declaration

    1. It's posssible to download full version. Look at http://www.oracle.com/technology/software/index.html
    2. Minimum requirements are described in documentation.
    More at: http://www.oracle.com/technology/documentation/index.html
    3. AFAIK there are not Standard or Personal edition of Oracle Developer Suite just DB is in that versions.
    Check the details about product and choose one.
    4. I'think you just need Oracle DB and Oracle DS. Beter check the details about each of product and make your own decision.

  • Some question about communicating the usb RAW device

    I have some question about USB communication: I want to make my VI communicate
    TI-DSP by USB, now, the driver of USB on DSP have done, and  there are a test
    program writen by VC and a driver fold(with a .inf and a .sys files), when I
    install the driver and run the test program, the driver program on DSP run
    regularly. And then I want to program a VI which have the same function as the
    test program, so I unload the driver on PC firstly, then install the DSP in
    NI_VISA according to "Using NI-VISA 3_0 to Control Your USB Device - Tutorial -
    Instrument Drivers". When I sent the standard control request using the VISA test panel, the status below happened. I don't know what wrong with my step.

    This thread
    contains already a related answer and explains what a sys driver is.
    While you could theoretically use the Call Library Node to call all the
    necessary Win32 API kernel functions to connect to a device driver,
    this would be very cumbersome and not doable without a real good
    understanding about C programming. Writing an interface DLL instead
    won't need more C programming knowledge at all but will give you a
    clean interface to that device driver which eventually could be used in
    other programming environments as well.

  • No communication with Oracle

    Hi Hyperions,
    I got one issue which is not giving any hint to me.I am uisng Oracle-SQL as a database.I imported the dimensional tables and fact table in to Essbase studio .I can see the dimension name anf hierarchies under that in Essbase Studio.But when it deployed in to Essbase i can see only dimension names only and no members under it.It gives me a arror "Failed to Establish connection with Oracle-SQL".So i underastood that Essbase and oracle are not communicating properly.Please suggest me where it is going wrong or any alternate sollution.
    Your suggestion is highly appreciated and helpful.

    To add...
    1) Back up the server.properties file and alter it in the following manner:
    Change the server.essbase.streamingCubeBuilding=true to server.essbase.streamingCubeBuilding=false (use Essbase drivers)
    2) Set the ODBCINST variable to point directly to odbcinst.ini
    3) Then, the BPMS service should be restarted.
    The file is named:
    startBPMS_bpms1_Server.bat on Windows;
    startBPMS_bpms1_Server.sh on UNIX.
    Note: The Essbase Studio Server startup file contains the commands necessary to start Essbase Studio Server. During the configuration process , the EPM System Configurator writes information to the startup file about the computer on which Essbase Studio is installed so that Essbase Studio Server can start properly. Oracle recommends that you do not manually edit the startup file.
    The start up file is installed by default in:
    MIDDLEWARE_HOME/user_projects/epmsystem1BPMS/bpms1/bin

  • Questions about editing with io HD or Kona 3 cards

    My production company is switching from Avid to Final Cut Pro. I have a few editing system questions (not ingesting and outputting, just questions about systems for the actual editors - we will have mac pros with either kona 3 or io HD for ingest and outputs)
    1) Our editors work from home so they most likely will be using MacBook Pros - Intel Core 2 Duo 2.6GHz 4GB computers with eSata drives to work on uncompressed HD, will they be able to work more quickly in FCP if they are using the new Mac Pro 8-Core (2 Quad-Core 2.8GHz Intel Xeon) or will the mac book pro's be able to hold their own with editing hour long documentaries, uncompressed HD
    2) Will having an AJA Kona 3 (if we get the editors mac pros) or io HD (for the mac book pros) connected be a significant help to the editor's and their process, will it speed up their work, will it allow them to edit sequences without having to render clips of different formats? Or will they be just as well off without editing with the io HD?
    I'm just trying to get a better understanding of the necessity of the AJA hardware in terms of working with the editors to help them do what they have to do with projects that have been shot on many formats- DVCPro tapes, Aiptek cameras that create QTs and P2 footage.
    Thanks

    1. with the IoHD, laptops become OK working with ProRes and simply eSata setups. Without the Io, they can't view externally on a video monitor (a must in my book). It will not speed up rendering a ton, nor will it save renders of mixed formats. The idea is to get all source footage to ProRes with the Io, and then the Io also lifts the CPU from having to convert ProRes to something you can monitor externally on a video monitor, and record back to any tape format you want... all in real time.
    2. Kona 3's on Towers would run circles around render times on a Laptop... no matter what the codec, but the Kona does not really speed renders up. That's a function of the CPU and just how fast is it. (lots of CPU's at faster speeds will speed up render times).
    I'd recommend you capture to ProRes with Io's or the Kona 3 and don't work in uncompressed HD. You gain nothing doing it quality wise at all. And you only use up a ton of disk space (6 times the size in fact) capturing and working in uncompressed HD, which from your post, you're not shooting anyway. The lovely thing about ProRes is that it's visually lossless, efficient, and speeds up the editing process. Mixing formats can be done, but it's better to go to ProRes for all source footage, and edit that way.
    With either the Kona or the Io, you then can output to uncompressed HD tape... that's what they do for you no matter what codec you've edited in. ProRes is designed to be the codec of choice for all HD projects when you're shooting different formats especially... Get them all singing the same tune in your editing stations, and you'll be a much happier camper. Only reason to buy laptops is portability... otherwise you're much better off with towers and the Kona 3 speed wise.

  • Attention! About problems with Oracle 8.1.6 on newer Linux distributions!!

    Hello all, I've just got some feedback from a helful person at http://www.crunge.com/ about the problems concerning RedHat Linux 7.0 and Oracle 8.1.6, this MAY apply to other newer linux distributions.
    I've tried, without luck, to install Oracle on RedHat 7.0 and Slackware 7 (the newest one), and it would not install properly, kept stopping right about when the database initialization started at 80% finished install procedure. Sp i wrote them a mail, not expecting an answer really, but I did got an answer, and below is what the person said;
    Thanks for the feedback.
    Oracle 8.1.6 does not work under Red Hat Linux 7. Yes, that's the problem
    that I mentioned in the doc--you get to 80% and the DBCA crashes and the
    Oracle executables die.
    I've heard, but I haven't tried it myself, that if you install the latest
    glibc errata (2.1.94) then the DBCA completes but the Oracle executables
    still die. The DBCA problem was apparently a Java issue that is fixed in
    the errata. But you're still out of luck since the exes won't work.
    It might appear that this is a problem with Red Hat Linux 7. But it appears
    that it is a problem with some assumptions that Oracle made, assumptions
    that worked with glibc 2.1.3 (the C library included with RHL 6.2) but which
    prove false with later glibc versions. As other Linux distributions adopt
    the new glibc Oracle will fail to work on them as well.
    The best advice I can give at this point is to install and run Oracle on
    Red Hat Linux 6.2. Hopefully Oracle will address the glibc issues with the
    8.1.7 release.
    Chris
    p.s. Do not construe this
    as an official Red Hat response; I merely forwarded your e-mail from my
    home account. This response and the web pages I put up are mine.
    So i guess one sollution to the problem is to try a bit older version of the linux you are having problems with (i tried it on RH 6.1 and it worked like a dream).
    Another solution can be to wait it out to check and see if Oracle put a fix out here on technet...?
    Hope this helps people bogged down in fustration.

    Hey all. Just to let you know that it is entierly possible to get Oracle to install under RedHat 7 and run happily. I have done it on two differenct machines. There is a bit of fooling with glibc to get it to work. However after you do that it works like a dream. VALinux has a work around posted at: http://ftp.valinux.com/pub/support/hjl/glibc/sdk/2.1/
    The READEME.Oracle8i has the work around and the two tar balls are the necessary files. I followed the directions to the letter and they worked like a dream. Any questions feel free to drop me a line.
    Cheers,
    Graham<HR></BLOCKQUOTE>
    OK, so i followed your instructions to the letter (several times), sure I get past the 80% bug but now I have new erros coming up , -"Error in invoking target install of makefile /usr/oracle/sqlplus/lib/ins_sqlplus.mk". I get a whole series of these errors for various mk files. These errors apear during the link phase of the install, prior to the glibc workaround I was not getting this. I am a newbie to Linux and trying to give it a serious go but so far I have had little luck
    Any help appreciated.

  • Two basic questions about locks in Oracle.

    Hello,
    This is about 9i and onwards.
    I need to develop a comprehensive analysis of locks and waits and while doing so, following questions popped up.
    1) What is the difference between locks and waits?
    2) There is a DBA view called DBA_BLOCKERS. The standard Oracle documentation has only one line comment about this view i.e. "DBA_BLOCKER – Shows non-waiting sessions holding locks being waited-on by other sessions.
    My question is : Why would a non waiting session hold locks after all? I guess that automatically repeats the question #1 from above, What is the difference between "being waited on" v/s "holding locks with wait" and "holding locks without waits"?
    Thanks,
    R

    1) What is the difference between locks and waits? Lock - something you queue up to get and simply wait until it is available
    Waits - Waiting for a Specific event to happen before it can proceed.
    Re: Difference between a latch and a lock
    2) There is a DBA view called DBA_BLOCKERS. The standard Oracle documentation has only one line comment about this view i.e. "DBA_BLOCKER – Shows non->waiting sessions holding locks being waited-on by other sessions.DBA_BLOCKERS displays a session if it is not waiting for a locked object but is holding a lock on an object for which another session is waiting.

  • A question about error with jasperserver for pdf and Apex

    I have created a pdf report on jasperserver and I can call it from apex via a url and it displays fine. The url is this format {http://server:port/jasperserver/flow.html?_flowId=viewReportFlow&reportUnit=/reports/Apex/deptemp&output=pdf&deptNo=#DEPTNO#&j_username=un&j_password=pw}
    However, I am trying to follow a stored procedure executed from Apex so it would not expose the username/pwd in the url like above.
    If I am reading the apache error log correctly it is erroring in this piece of the code below where it executes {Dbms_Lob.writeAppend}
    loop
    begin
    -- read the next chunk of binary data
    Utl_Http.read_raw(vResponse, vData);
    -- append it to our blob for the pdf file
    Dbms_Lob.writeAppend
    ( lob_loc => vBlobRef
    , amount => Utl_Raw.length(vData)
    , buffer => vData
    exception when utl_http.end_of_body then
    exit; -- exit loop
    end;
    end loop;
    Utl_Http.end_response(vResponse);}
    The error log says this; HTTP-500 ORA-14453: attempt to use a LOB of a temporary table, whose data has alreadybeen purged\n
    What is this error telling me and how can I correct it?
    The stored procedure I am following is below but replaced the vReportURL with my url like above that works.
    Thank you,

    Don;t know what I did wrong, but I could not create an 'on-demand' process to call my procedure. I did not understand what it means when it says 'To create an on-demand page process, at least one application level process must be created with the type 'ON-DEMAND'.
    so I had to use a blank page with a call to my procedure in the onload - before header process and that seems to work ok.

  • New to Logic 9, Questions about mixing with summing box.

    Hello - glad to be aboard. I just picked up Logic9 last week.. I have been on DP...well since it was P (I guess 20yrs,) Been contemplating the move for quite some time, but as I too, pay the bills with music, I've got to stay on DP until I and Logic are full integrated into my system. With that being said, I am DP by day- getting things done, and when the day is done, Its Logic time. I'm in the studio on forums, watching a bunch of videos that I bought, taking notes creating "Key Command" Flash cards - just kidding on that one) - I am really looking forward to making the switch. - I was going to order DP6, as well, but I think there's no need for that... this might be the right move.
    On to my question....
    My setup in the nutshell - Mac2.8. with MOTU PCIe,, using MOTU audio interfaces, 2x2408mkIII's, 1x24i/o, and 1x308) - I am using 2 x Rosetta 800''s as well, and from my DAW mix out through them into a Dangerous 2BUS summing box - which means - obviously, that I group my tracks in my daw and send out various outputs (i.e, Output 1-2 might be vox, 3-4 for gtrs, 5-6 for drums, etc.) - I then run to the 2Bus, out into a TK Audio BC1 buss compressor, routed back into the Apogee, and into the DAW - where I bring the stereo mix back in. - This means (2) things
    1. I have no need for a Master Fader
    2. I don't bounce
    There are a couple of things that are confusing me - It seems that in Logic, when i create a track, Logic is "kind enough" to think ahead for me, and not only gives me the audio track, but also another fader, I guess which acts like an overall channel strip or fader for that output. It also assigns a master fader for me as well. In DP, when i create an audio track - I get just that - an audio track. Its routing assignment is indicated by the inputs and outputs I select. If I want to route it out to inputs 1-2, then I choose that output - but nothing else pops up. If I had the need to assign a Master Fader - then I would key command to add a Master Fader. While, in the scheme of things its not that difficult to just "delete" these tracks - I am sure during the course of normal work flow, it will get old. I tried deleting the master fader (on a test project I was working on) and saving as a template. But when I opened up the template and started assigning audio tracks, the ol' master fader came back. To me, it seems like fader duplication that I really don't need to see. - I just want to see my audio tracks - and route them to their appropriate outputs from the channel strip.
    I assume the automatic assigning of a master fader - would be helpful if I wasnt mixing "outside" the box, and would be required if I "bounced" my final mixes down from within Logic. - And I also would assume that these Aux channels, or whatever that are assigned when i create audio tracks, are nothing more than overall "volume: controls for that output.
    Another annoying issue related to this - I have named all of my ins and outs withing the MOTU PCI interface - I then when into the I/O assignment page in Logic and requested that Logic use the names provided by the driver (my names) - it does.... In parenthesis after their's - but outputs 1-2 - keep reverting to the name "Stereo Out".... frustrating.
    Again - While I will miss alot of things from DP....I actually am seeing quite a few benefits over DP and the videos.. while not as useful as hands on work... are training me to see the screens, workflow, etc - and they are very helpful. When I do go into mess around - I am much farther ahead.. and at least know kind of where I am.
    But I'm really trying to minimize the impact of the switch.... so perhaps some of the long-time guys can asssit. I havent seen much on the various forums about diverting from logic's norm out into summing boxes....etc.
    Thanks very much - sorry about the long winded message - But I wanted to explain it the best I could.

    Hey Orcasound, welcome to the forum, and also welcome to Logic.
    Nice setup BTW, especially the Dangerous 2BUS into the BC1 coming back to the Rosetta 800"s, that gonna sound sweet mate.
    OK Q1: The master fader for output 1-2 is always gonna be there, I've never found a way of getting rid of it, you can fortunately set up the mixer so that it won't show though. At the top of the mix window is a heap of boxes highlighted in blue, all you need to do is deselect the master and the output as per this screen shot:
    Save this in your template and you'll never have to see those pesky faders again.
    Q2: Same thing really, logic will always show 1-2 output as stereo out. Which is annoying, even if you manually name them from the I/O labels window it's always stereo, everything else if fine apart from 1-2. To be honest I've just learned to live with it.
    Glad you made the switch, I find DP to be bloated and a bit tired nowadays.

  • Problem about Communication with Bluetooth

    Hi all!
    I want to use a PC host to communicate with a mobile phone with Bluetooth technology. In details, the mobile phone wanting to know some informaiton about "news of today" firstly send a message to my PC, then my PC have to response with a reply message to that client mobile phone. It seems that I should use Java programming with J2SE to control the communication through Serial Port. Is it right? I want to overview some Java sample code about this topic so that I'm able to know the general manipulation. Thanks very much! : )

    Hi,
    Under J2ME you can use the JSR82 but only for compiling and then port the application on the mobile device. The source is not implemented.
    There is free APIs java that you can use www.javabluetooth.org
    Let me know if it works with you, I am going to begin next week...
    Sihem ;)

  • Questions about rebuilding with end goal of mortgage in 1.5 -2 years

    Hello all. I have been reading the forum diligently for the last few months, but I’m in a conundrum as to what to do next in my rebuilding process and was hoping for advice. Here’s a snapshot of my current situation. In 2008- 2009 I had a sudden lay off and a long term relationship end. I was left holding what seemed like insurmountable debt.  I paid the collections (didn’t know about PFD) but was still left with a credit report that had a bunch of lates, a collections account and a paid judgement.  All accounts closed on me with the exception of a JCP that I had forgotten about, but American Express sent me a preapproval for the Optima Card with a 700 CL. I took it gratefully, and went off to lick my woundsAfter years of struggling in a few low paying jobs I’ve made it back to my former status salary wise and I’m looking to get myself into a small home in the next 1.5 to 2 years. What’s on my credit report? JCP( 2008) – 4800 CL again thanks to his forum, hit the luv button and got a huge CLIAmex Optima ( 2009) – 2100 CL (thanks to the 3x Amex thread I got my first CLI in years on this card)Credit Union Visa(3/ 2013)- 2500 – this card hasn’t budged in two years, but is my lowest interest rate.Care Credit (10/2014) -1500 CL wish I had known about the recon when I apped for this card. It's too low to be useful to me.Discover(4/2015)- 6000 CLAAoA is 7.9 years. Credit history is 18 + Years. Utilization is 9%1 paid CO on Experian due to fall off August 2015.1 paid judgement on all 3 CRAs due to fall off in April of 20161 inquiry on TU and 1 Inquiry on Equifax. None on Experian.No lates.CK Fakos 750, Discover TU Fico 712, Experian 665 My question is…what next?  I would love to app for the American Express Blue Cash Everyday card and the Chase Freedom in October, but it occurs to me that I have no loan info on my report as my old car loans and home loans were from nearly 16 years ago. I want to avoid a car payment until I buy a house, however, does it make more since to get a loan from my CU to flesh out my report or should I go ahead and app for those two credit cards after that Collection falls off and my Discover ages a bit?   Thanks in advance for any insites.

    Thanks Dagsky. Any ideas on how long I should take to pay the loan back for best score?  I'm wondering if I should I have it paid off before I look for a mortgage. Also, what do you consider to be small? I was thinking of taking a year to pay back 1000 to 1500. I have some concerns about score dropping when the loan was paid off as well. 
    Thanks again!Small as in no more than $500. Terms as long as you can get.  If your CU won't go more than 12 months, go somewhere else. SDFCU for example, will go 36 months on a $500 secured loan at 3.99%, monthly payments of $14 and change. 

  • Questions about 1Z0-047 Oracle Database SQL Expert

    I am planning to take this exam and I have several questions:
    1) I am using Steve O'Hearn's 'SQL Certified Expert Exam Guide' book and this states the following about SQL functions:
    "Be sure to review the Oracle Database SQL Language Reference Manual and review the lengthy description of all of the SQL functions before taking the exam"
    In trial tests it seemed that book's information was enough, but how about real exam? Is it necessary to study something in addition to this book information? You can answer regarding other exam objectives as well, if there is something that I should read from some other materials.
    2) The book states that I can add not null constraint to column that has null values, if I specify default value. I tried and cannot, I get error. So the book states it wrongly or do I misunderstand something?
    3) The book states that I cannot drop a NOT NULL constraint, but I can get the job done using: ALTER TABLE table_name MODIFY column_name NULL;
    I tried and I can execute: alter table table_name drop constraint nameofnotnullconstraint;
    4) To use external tables, is only read grant on the directory necessary or also write?
    5) I understood from the book that to flashback table (e.g to before drop) I need to have row movement enabled on the table. But I tried and I can make this flashback operation to table that does not have row movement enabled. How can this be explained!
    Big thanks in advance!

    #1) well, the manual is free; find here the SQL Language Reference - http://www.oracle.com/pls/db112/portal.all_books#index-SQL
    #2 & 3) If you proved it yourself, that settles it!
    #4) Here's a good article about external tables: http://www.oracle-developer.net/display.php?id=512
    I noted this paragraph in it, which might answer your question:
    In addition to the standard read-write Oracle directory that we need for our external table, we also need an additional executable directory object for the preprocessor. This directory defines the location of the executables used by the preprocessor (we will be using gzip below). As far as Oracle is concerned, an executable directory is one that has EXECUTE privileges granted on it (this is an 11g feature specifically to support the preprocessor).
    #5) don't know
