REP-0002: Unable to retrieve a string from the Report Builder message file;

Hi,
I've a custom report in which i need to display a large string, of more than 4000 characters. To cater to this requirement i've written a formula column which displays string upto 4k characters and for a string of size beyond 4k i am calling a procedure which uses a temp table having a clob field.
For a small string the report runs fine but whenever a large string requirement comes into the picture, said procedure gets triggered and i get REP-0002: Unable to retrieve a string from the Report Builder message file.
OPP log for the same gives an output as under:
Output type: PDF

Report Builder 10g
BI Publisher's version : 4.5.0
RDBMS Version : 10.2.0.4.0
Oracle Applications Version : 12.0.6
Searched for the same on metalink and found Article ID 862644.1, other than applying patch and upgrading version of BI Publisher is there any other workaround to display a comma seperated string as long as 60k characters, If any please suggest.
Thanks,
Bhoomika

    Hi,
    Check on this note also : Purchasing Reports Fail When Changing Output To XML REP-0002 REP-271504897 REP-57054 (Doc ID 1452608.1)
    If you cant reproduce the issue on other instance, apply the patch on the test instance and verify all the funcionality related to the patch works OK. Then move the patch to production. Or you can clone the prod environment to test the patch.

    thank you.

    bogdom and gaben,
    I belong to your club too it seems. Though in my case the compilation was required on each database. Report used to work in the only that database in which they were compiled. Connecting to other database used to give this string error. Moreover this problem existed only for those reports in which i had used PL/SQL code in the formula columns. One way to avoid this is by writing all PL/SQL code in a library and call it in the formula column calculations.

  • Conflict Resolver Sync Error - Unable to retrieve conflict information from the sync server

    So I have been using iTunes with my iPhone 3GS and now my iPhone 4 to sync with my Outlook for many years now  and it has been flawless.
    I recently bought a new iPad and started syncing it as well.
    Now as of late, after every 2 or 3 syncs, I get an error from iTunes displaying the Conflict Resolver and it says there are 42 sync conflicts.
    When I try use the Review Now button it shows up and the issues are between my iPhone and Outlook and are only related to contacts.
    As soon as I try to choose which record to resolve, the window immediately disappears without giving me a chance to finish and I get another dialog window with the error:
    Unable to retrieve conflict information from the sync server.
    Please try again the next time the conflict resolver window is presented.
    When I try to sync again it seems to be fine.  But then after I sync my iPad and theny iPhone again it shows up and it still won't let me resolve the conflicts.
    I have tried the following:
    1) Rest Sync History on all devices
    2) I have had iTunes replace all the contacts on the iPad from iTunes
    3) I have changed the conflict resolver to only notify when 50% of the data will be changed
    I have had no such luck.
    If I add a contact to Outlook or to my iPhone and then sync it seems to be syncing the new addtions correctly.  However, I cannot get this issue with this 42 conflicts resolved for some reason.  This has been going on for a month now.

    Here is the solution. 
    Rationale: You want to be able to have the dates on your items (notes, contacts) on your iphone to be the same as on outlook.  This will eliminate any sync conflicts.  You will also notice that if you modify something on the iphone and sync, you will lose the modification you made.
    Steps:
    1) In outlook, export the data (contacts, notes) to a CSV file
    2) Delete you notes/contacts in outlook
    3) Sync your iphone and select replace information on this iPhone (in iTunes)
    4) Now your contacts and notes will be empty on both your iPhone and Outlook
    5) Now import your contacts and notes from the CSV files back into outlook.  What this does is put the current date and time on every individual item
    6) Sync your iPhone to iTunes normally
    7) everything will work correctly now with no sync issues and no conflicts.

  • Cannot access conflicts unable to retrieve contact information from the sync server.

    ITunes error message Cannot access conflicts unable to retrieve contact information from the sync server.

    I got this advice from Gator5000e on Apple Supposrt Communities:
    I use Windows 7 so the path to find this file
    might be different under a different OS.
    Close iTunes. Search on the words "conflicts.synconflicts".
    I renamed it  to conflictsold.synconflicts the .synconflicts is the extension so you can't
    rename that.
    Then restarted Windows. As a test I made changes to a note in NOTES on each device. Then connected them one at a time to my computer which has iTunes 10 and Runs Windows 7, it worked !

  • Error: unable to retrieve column information from the data source

    Hi,
    I am trying to set up a data flow task. The source is "SQL Command" which is
    a stored procedure. The proc has a few temp tables that it outputs the final
    resultset from. When I hit preview in the ole db source editor, I see the
    right output. When I select the "Columns" tab on the right, the "Available
    External Column List" is empty. Why don't the column names appear? What is
    the work around to get the column mappings to work b/w source and
    destination in this scenario.
    In DTS previously, you could "fool" the package by first compiling the
    stored procedure with hardcoded column names and dummy values, creating and
    saving the package and finally changing the procedure back to the actual
    output. As long as the columns remained the same, all would work.
    Thats not working for me in SSIS.
    Thanks in advance.
    Asim.

    I had a similar problem retrieving column information when calling a stored procedure which returned a table declared as a variable within the procedure. I used "Command SQL" as data access within the OLE DB Source Editor, and "exec <sproc_name> <param_list>" as text for the SQL command.
    After a few trials and errors, I noticed when I removed the IF statement that validated the parameter passed to the sproc it worked, i.e. SSIS could retrieve the column information, otherwise it wouldn't.  Is it because of the IF, the BEGIN/END, or the RETURN? I do not know as I did not test further, but by removing the entire instruction block pasted below, it worked. Hope that it helps.
        if @Reel_Ou_Budgete not in ('B', 'R')
        begin
            print 'Le paramètre de cette procédure stockée doit être B ou R.'

    From within the Pages app, no. If you have an iTunes or iCloud backup that would have contained the file, and you are backing up Pages, it could be received via a restore using that backup (this would wipe out any newer data however).

    I am aware of that we can't use any free spaces where the VM is installed.Hence the additional storage added to the server.
    1. Install VM Server on 80GB HD ( /dev/sdb)
    2. Later, i added 500GB to the storage ( no installation - just the disk ) ( /dev/sda)
    Same configuration worked fine in 3.0, now i am not able to identified the additional disk which was added later with 3.2.1.
