Run_product in DB procedure?

Reg : Executing an OS command in PL/SQL.
I used host command in form level procedure to
send all the .txt files into a master file(eg master.txt)
From master.txt, i read the flat file names and upload the datas
into Oracle (by using Text_Io package). But same thing, when i
used in db procedure with UTL_FILE
package , I can not proceed with the host command whereas it
works in sqlplus prompt. Is it possible to give host command in
db procedure or any other suggestions ?
2) A process is running at the back end with every 20
minutes interval of time using dbms_job.submit.
can I flash a message to any of the terminal/server/session
after successful completion
or if error occured?
3) can I call run_product in db procedure?
Thanking in advance,
expecting yr reply soon

Problem in Integrating Oracle Forms10g and Graphics 6i

Hi , everybody..
I have Installed Oracle Developer Suite 10g and Oracle Graphics 6i on the same machine , in seperate directories , of course.
I have done all the necessary modifications of the file default.env - concerning this type of integration.
The problem is that when I press a button which calls the graphic , the system runs the Oracle Graphics Batch successfully and it is supposed to insert the graphic in a chart item in a form - but it doesn't-, the message 'FRM-41211 Integration error: SSL failure running another product' appears.
I have tried all the possible combinations of parameters of RUN_PRODUCT built-in procedure ('synchronous/asynchronous' , 'batch/runtime') but the same problem insists!!!
What may be the problem?
Sould I install the JRE of Developer 6i in the same ORACLE path i installed the Oracle Graphics 6i , or simply the JDK of it?

Simon,
a search on meta link unveiled a couple of notes and bugs that all deal with this message. My recommendation is to contact customer support for a proper analysiz of the problem.

Scheduling Multiple Reports at Once

Is it possible to schedule multiple reports at once - so if I have a set of 40 reports that make up a financial close book, can I just schedule the book?
Thanks,
Chris

Hi ,
use the RUN_PRODUCT() built - in procedure..... for every instance of record , if you have a multi-record-block.....
note: maybe you should give some additional info , adout what the form like , in which circumstances should the reports be called , .. ... e.t.c..

Reports 2.5: Portrait/ Landscape problem

I am facing a problem when I print either Landscape or Portrait
formats one after other. I am using the forms 4.5 to run reports
with out dialogue box. When I change the 'ORIENTATION' the margin
also changing, so part of the reports are not printed out.
Can some one help me.
Thanks.

hello MJS!
If I never mistaken, you want to print a report
using form by using run_product built-in procedures and
using this procedures,you set PARAMFORM PARAMETER to
FALSE that's why you didn't see the report parameter
on runtime.And you didn't initialize the
ORIENTATION parameter on this procedure that's
why your orientation is default or depend on
printer setup.
If this is your case then I suggest this solution.
a.)add this parameter on your parameter list
Add_Parameter(pl_id,
'Orientation',TEXT_PARAMETER,'landscape');
b.)In Report Designer open your program then
in SYSTEM PARAMETER you will find ORIENTATION as
one of its parameter list.Check its properties then
set INITIAL VALUE to LANDSCAPE;
I hope this will help. GOOD LUCK!

RUN_PRODUCT is not working

hI,
I am working in developer 6i forms and reports. I am trying to call a report from a for using RUN_PRODUCT built in. But it’s generating the following
Error: FRM-41211: Integration error: SSL failure running another product.
I think the procedure used for running the report is ok because it’s working in another machine.
Please help me, how can I solve this problem.
Best Regards,

Re-Install the reports again,,
this is a common Windows Problem

RUN_PRODUCT (Forms/Reports Upgrade)

Hello,
I have an Oracle Forms application.
The total application is about 44 forms and 7 reports developed under Oracle Forms/Reports 6i.
This is running in a Client/Server 2-tier model.
I want to upgrade to the Web with Oracle 9i Database and Application Server.
My forms use the RUN_PRODUCT modem to call Reports.
1) Do I need to rewrite my PL/SQL code to change the RUN_PRODUCT to RUN_REPORT_OBJECT ?
Regards,
PT

Paolo,
FMA does only perform required code changes. The run_product to run_report_object conversion requires you to provide values for the Reports Server name and the access path you use on your system. Further more the migration will set a default Reports output. if you want your application to programmatically control this, you will have to add code that sets the Reports format and the destination type. The added rp2rrp.pll library has procedures for this.
The compiler in Oracle Application Server can be used, but doesn't help if you hit a migration issue that wasn't handled by FMA. I would recommend to use the Oracle Developer Suite for migration.

Neil,
After you submit the report, you have to check the status using Report_Object_Status built-in. If the return value is "FINISHED", you can then display the finished report to the user using the Web.Show_Document built-in. Here's how we do it:
PROCEDURE RUN_REPORT (P_paramlist paramlist) IS
   v_report         REPORT_OBJECT;
   v_rep_rtn   VARCHAR2(4000);
   rep_status   VARCHAR2(4000);
   v_hostname   VARCHAR2 (500);
   v_repsvrname VARCHAR2 (100) := 'YOUR SERVER NAME HERE';
   v_paramtype NUMBER;
BEGIN
   -- Assign any parameters first.
   Get_Parameter_Attr(p_paramlist, 'P_REPSERVER', v_paramtype, v_repsvrname);
   v_report := Find_Report_Object('REPORT_NAME_HERE');
   Set_Report_Object_Property(v_report, report_execution_mode, batch);
   Set_Report_Object_Property(v_report, report_comm_mode, synchronous);
   Set_Report_Object_Property(v_report, report_destype, CACHE);
      /* Make sure to set the format correctly - we always used PDF so we hardcoded it. */
   Set_Report_Object_Property(v_report, report_desformat, 'pdf');
   Set_Report_Object_Property(v_report, report_server, v_repsvrname);
   -- Run the Report
   v_rep_rtn := Run_Report_Object(v_report, p_paramlist);
   -- Get the Report Status
   rep_status := Report_Object_Status(v_rep_trn);
   WHILE ( rep_status IN ('RUNNING','OPENING_REPORT','ENQUEUED') ) LOOP
      rep_status := Report_Object_Status(v_rep_trn);
   END LOOP;
   IF ( rep_status <> 'FINISHED' ) THEN
      Clear_Message;
      Message('Error running report. Status = '||rep_status);
      Message(' ');
   ELSE
      Web.Show_Document('/reports/rwservlet/getjobid'||substr(v_rep_trn, INSTR(v_rep_rtn,'_',-1) +1)
            ||'?server='||v_repsvrname);
   END IF;
END;We created this procedure and stored it in a Library and attached the library to every form. You may have to tweek it a bit to make it work for you.
Hope this helps,

Calling Oracle Reports from stored procedures

Hi ,
Can anybody tell me whether this is possible and if so, how it can be done. Thanks for your help.
Regards,
Deepa

Oracle Forms allows you to easily integrate Oracle Reports into your
applications. However, on the Macintosh, it is not possible to use
the normal Oracle Reports runtime to generate ASCII text files. In
order to allow ASCII text files to be generated with Oracle Reports
on the Macintosh, the Reports<TEXT> Runtime applications was
developed. This version of the runtime only allows you to generate
text files and should not be used for other purposes.
While the Reports<TEXT> Runtime application has been provided, there
is no built in integration with Forms. This bulletin explains a
method which you can use integrate these two applications with little
effort. In order to use this method, you will need the following
items installed on your computer:
* Oracle Forms 4.0
* Oracle Reports 2.0
* Oracle Command 1.0
* AppleScript 1.1. This is available as part of the Macintosh
Operating System version 7.5 as well as with certain 3rd party
applications.
Because the only way to use the Reports<TEXT> Runtime application is
through Oracle Command, we will be using Oracle Command to run the
Reports<TEXT> Runtime application. However, we need some way to
communicate with Oracle Command which report we would like to run and
what parameters we would like to pass in to Reports. To accomplish
this goal, an AppleScript application will be used. Forms can use
AppleEvents (Apple's method for inter-application communication) to
communicate with this AppleScript application which can then create
an Oracle Command script file to run. So, the summary of events
which will take place are as follows:
1. Forms dynamically creates a command line to run the
Reports<TEXT> Runtime application.
2. Using AppleEvents, Forms communicates this command line to the
AppleScript application which writes out an Oracle Command
script file.
3. The AppleScript application communicates with Oracle Command and
tells it to run the script which it just created.
4. Oracle Command runs the script which invokes the Reports<TEXT>
Runtime application.
1. Creating the AppleScript Application
The core of this solution is the AppleScript Application. While it
is not necessary for you to be familiar with AppleScript, it will
help tremendously in your understanding of how everything works.
Here we provide you with an AppleScript which provides the
functionality we need to implement our procedure.
Note: This AppleScript is designed to work with the Macintosh
Operating System version 7.5. It should work with earlier
versions of the Operating System, but no guarantees are
made. Furthermore, there are known problems with the version
of AppleScript provided with version 7.1.2 of the Operating
System which will cause your machine to crash when this
script is executed. These problems with AppleScript were
corrected for the version 7.5 release of the Operating System.
-- This AppleScript Application is responsible for being a
-- "go-between" between Oracle Forms and Oracle Command. It is
-- responsible for both dynamically creating Oracle Command script
-- files and disposing of these files.
-- NOTE: This AppleScript Application was written for the Macintosh
-- Operating System version 7.5. It has not been tested
-- on any other version of the Macintosh Operating
-- System.

-- passed to us via AppleEvents.
-- The sequence <opt-l> at the end of the following line
-- should be type in as an option-l (that is, a lowercase L).
write (cmdScript & cr) starting at <opt-l>
((get eof fRef) + 1) to fRef
-- Now we have to also ask Oracle Command to let us know
-- when it is finished with the script file we are
-- creating. Basically, we are asking Oracle Command to
-- use AppleEvents to let us know when to throw away the
-- file we are creating
-- The sequence <opt-l> at the end of the following lines
-- should be type in as an option-l (that is, a lowercase L).
write ("host SENDAE aplt R20T remv ---- t \"" & fName <opt-l>
& "\";" as string) starting at <opt-l>
((get eof fRef) + 1) to fRef
-- close the Oracle Command script file
close access fRef
-- Now that we have setup the temporary file,
-- tell Oracle Command to execute it.
tell application "Oracle Command 1.0"
runscript fName
end tell
-- You can put some error handling here if you'd like.
end try
end <<event R20Trunt>>
-- This is the AppleEvent handler to clean up when we are done. It
-- simply throws the temp file into the trash can.
-- Be careful, the << and >> characters are option-\ and option-|
-- respectively. They are not two less-than signs and two
-- greater-than signs.
on <<event R20Tremv>> fName
tell application "Finder"
move (fName as alias) to (path to trash)
end tell
end <<event R20Tremv>>
2. Setting Up Forms
It is useful to setup a PL/SQL Program Unit to hide the details
behind running the Text Runtime. Here is a suggested PL/SQL Program
Unit for you to use:
-- The following procedure is used to hide some of the details in
-- using the AppleScript Application. It accepts 4 arguments:
-- * The report name
-- * The name of the output file
-- * The parameters you would like to pass in. These need to be
-- formatted just as if you were calling reports from a
-- command line.
-- * A connect string for Reports<TEXT> Runtime to connect with.
procedure run_text_report (
rName in char,
oName in char,
params in char,
cString in char) is
cLine varchar2(1000);
begin
cLine := 'execute r20text module='| |rname;
cLine := cLine | | ' userid='| |cString;
cLine := cLine | | ' paramform=no batch=yes';
cLine := cLine | | ' destype=file desname='| |oname;
cLine := cLine | | ' desformat=dflt.prt '| |params| |';';
host('SENDAE aplt R20T runt ---- t "'| |cLine| |'"');
-- NOTE: in the above host() command, the series of quotes at the
-- end reads as follows: double-quote, single-quote, vertical
-- bar, vertical bar, the word cLine, vertical bar, vertical
-- bar, single-quote, double-quote, single-quote.
end;
Here is an example of how I can use the above procedure. In a
WHEN-BUTTON-PRESSED trigger, I might have:
declare
reportName varchar2(16);
outputName varchar2(64);
paramVals varchar2(64);
connectStr varchar2(16);
begin
-- We want to run the report named "myreport". The output from this
-- report should go into a file named "output.txt" located in the
-- "Reports" directory on my hard drive. This report accepts two
-- parameters: p_start_date and p_end_date. The connect string for
-- the database I am using is simply "scott/tiger"
-- Setup some variables to hold all the information I want to pass
-- in to run_text_report(). This information is put into variables
-- for readability.
reportName := 'myreport';
outputName := 'HD:Reports:output.txt';
paramVals := 'p_start_date=''01-MAR-95'' p_end_date=''31-MAR-95''';
connectStr := 'scott/tiger';
-- Run the report
run_text_report(reportName, outputName, paramVals, connectStr);
end;
3. Putting the pieces together
In order for this solution to function, you need to make sure that
both your AppleScript application and Oracle Command are running when
you make a call to run_text_report(). It is possible for you to
launch Oracle Command from within Oracle Forms with the following
line of code:
host('LAUNCHID oBTL');
If you place the above line of code in a WHEN-NEW-FORM trigger, you
can assure that Oracle Command will be running when your form is
launched.
It is also possible for you to have Oracle Forms launch your
AppleScript application. However, in order for you to do this, you
need to be very familiar with the Macintosh Operating System, how to
change the creator type of a file, and know what effects that change
can produce. If you do not know how to change the creator type of
your AppleScript application or are not comfortable doing so, you
should simply document that your users need to make sure to launch
your AppleScript application before trying to use your Form.
However, if you know how to change the creator type of your
AppleScript application and are comfortable doing so, here are the
steps you will need to take to have Oracle Forms launch your
AppleScript application for you:
* Change the creator type of your AppleScript application to
something unique.
* Modify the run_text_report() procedure. You need to change the
four character sequence "aplt" found in the host() command to the
new creator type of your AppleScript application.
* Add the line host('LAUNCHID <your new creator type>'); to your
WHEN-NEW-FORM trigger or to whichever trigger you placed the
host('LAUNCHID oBTL'); statement.
There is one significant difference between RUN_PRODUCT and this
solution. With RUN_PRODUCT, you have the option of specifying
whether or not the call should be synchronous or asynchronous.
However, the call to run_text_report() will always be asynchronous.

Running procedure in forms

Hi, i have a procedure that populates a temporary table. After populating, i have several functions that run to compute values based on the records on the temporary table and then deletes the records upon form exit. Now, what i want to do is just run the procedure to populate the temporary table and then display the data on the table. But when i tried running just the procedure, nothing happens. I cant see the data on the table. How can i do this please? Thank you. Here is the query in my forms developer:
DECLARE
plid paramlist;
the_param varchar2(1600) := 'tmpdata';
it_id Item;
V_RI_BUSY CHAR(1);
BEGIN
if :block3.date_to is null then
message('no date to');
message('no date to');
Go_Item(':block3.date_to');
end if;
/* check if 'tmpdata' exists */
plid := get_parameter_list(the_param);
/* if it does exist, destroy it */
if not id_null(plid) then
destroy_parameter_list(plid);
end if;
/* create it fresh */
plid := create_parameter_list(the_param);
add_parameter(plid,'PARAMFORM', TEXT_PARAMETER, 'NO');
add_parameter(plid,'V_CUTOFF_FROM',TEXT_PARAMETER,TO_CHAR(:BLOCK3.DATE_FROM,'DD/MON/YYYY'));
add_parameter(plid,'V_CUTOFF_TO',TEXT_PARAMETER,TO_CHAR(:BLOCK3.DATE_TO,'DD/MON/YYYY'));
add_parameter(plid,'P_CLASSIFICATION',TEXT_PARAMETER,:BLOCK3.RADIO_GROUP_TRANS_SUBTRANS);
add_parameter(plid,'P_GRID',TEXT_PARAMETER,:BLOCK3.GRID);
add_parameter(plid,'P_REGION',TEXT_PARAMETER,:BLOCK3.REGION);
add_parameter(plid,'P_DISTRICT',TEXT_PARAMETER,:BLOCK3.DISTRICT);
add_parameter(plid,'P_BRANCH',TEXT_PARAMETER,:BLOCK3.BRANCH);
add_parameter(plid,'P_USER_NAME',TEXT_PARAMETER,:global.v_user_name);
add_parameter(plid,'P_POSITION',TEXT_PARAMETER,:global.v_position);
CALC_DATA_2010(:BLOCK3.DATE_FROM,
:BLOCK3.DATE_TO,
:BLOCK3.GRID,
:BLOCK3.REGION,
:BLOCK3.DISTRICT,
:BLOCK3.BRANCH);
run_product(REPORTS,'RPTSPM_NOI_DETAILS.rep',
SYNCHRONOUS,RUNTIME,
FILESYSTEM,
plid);
END;

Thanks. Actually, the original query was working fine - when some values were computed thru functions based from data on the temporary table. But when i removed the functions and just run the procedure, i could not display the records in the temp table. Here below is the working query (some parts were removed in the middle to shorten it):
DECLARE
     V_RI_BUSY CHAR(1);

               :BLOCK3.REGION,
               :BLOCK3.DISTRICT,
               :BLOCK3.BRANCH);
          IF :BLOCK3.DATE_FROM IS NOT NULL AND :BLOCK3.DATE_TO IS NOT NULL THEN

Pricing procedure of free goods

Could anyone please tell me the effect of pricing procedure in free godds?And what is the difference between pricing procedure in free goods(IMG->Sales and Distribution->Basic Funcions->Free Goods) and pricing procedure in pricing(IMG->Sales and Distribution->Basic Funcions->Pricing)

Hi Wei Zhang,
When there are more than 2 materials say material A which is of some price, and material B which is Free of cost, then the item category will be different for those. TAN for Mat A and TANN for materail B.
Pricing is depends upon the customer pricing procedure and document pricing procedure along with the Sales Area.
When there are free Goods, Again yu have two conditions
1. Give 100 % discount on free goods.
2. Or charge 0 value for that.
This pricing procedure you can do in free goods priocing procedure.
Hope this will help.
Thanks,
Raja

Can not select from data dictionary view from a procedure

Hi,
I wonder, which privilege is missing here:
my schema has this roles and privs:
GRANT CONNECT, RESOURCE TO cb ;
GRANT CREATE SESSION TO cb ;
GRANT SELECT_CATALOG_ROLE TO cb ;
GRANT CREATE SYNONYM TO CB;
GRANT CREATE VIEW TO CB;
I create a procedure:
create or replace procedure dd_test as
begin
     dbms_output.enable(2000000);
     for r in (select table_name from sys.dba_tab_partitions     where owner = 'CB') loop
               dbms_output.put_line(r.table_name);
     end loop;

4/38 PL/SQL: ORA-00942: table or view does not exist
When I run the core statement form sql prompt, it works !
so what privilege is missing here ???
thanks for any hint, Lao De

Hi,
thanks for that reply, after doing that I can not select this DD-view from sql-prompt anymore (which I don't wonder ;-). Can you tell me, what idea you had behind that test ?
I found another instance, where the procedure works and I will compare those privileges, but it's hard to sort out that complex structure of nested roles and sys_privs.
How ever, I will update here, when I found the missing privilege.

Unable to capture the parameter values from a PL/SQL procedure

hi.
i'm trying to capture the parameter values of a PL/SQL procedure by calling inside a anonymous block but i'm getting a "reference to uninitialized collection error" ORA-06531.
Please help me regarding.
i'm using following block for calling the procedure.

end;
Error is thrown on "for incr in 1 .. OUT_SIGN_TAB.count" this line
Following is some related information.
the 3rd parameter of the procedure is a out parameter. it is a type of a PL/SQL table (SEARCH_SIGN_TAB_TYPE) which is available in database as follows.

We don't have your rt843pq procedure, but when commenting that line out, everything works:

Get Attribute values from a page and procedure exception handling?

Hi All,
I have created new page with two input attributes not based on any VO. This page is created to capture two values and pass these to an AM method upon pressing OK button. The method in AM will call a procedure with two in parameter expecting the two values captured from the above said page.
I have two questions, first one how to capture the values entered by the page in the controller class and advises me how to handle exceptions when my procedure fails.
I can not use something like this since this page is not based on a VO
String fromName = (String)vo.getCurrentRow().getAttribute("FromName");
Do I have to create a dummy VO like select '' name1, '' name2 from dual?
Thanks for the help.

Hi,
Actually you can capture the parameters on the page like this way
String test = (String)pageContext.getParameter("id of the text input bean");
Now in procedure you can take an out parameter which stores the error messages on exception
and return that out parameter in java.
and then you can throw exception on page using OAException class.
Thanks

Get variable values from a stored procedure

I am using SQL 2008R2 and I want to replace a view inside a stored procedure with a new stored procedure to return multiple variable values. Currently I am using the code below to get values for 4 different variables. I would rather get the 4 variables
from a stored procedure (which returns all of these 4 values and more) but not sure how to do so. Below is the code for getting the 4 variable values in my current sp.
DECLARE @TotalCarb real;
DECLARE @TotalPro real;
DECLARE @TotalFat real;
DECLARE @TotalLiquid real;
SELECT @TotalCarb = ISNULL(TotCarb,0),
@TotalPro = ISNULL(TotPro,0),
@TotalFat = ISNULL(TotFat,0),
@TotalLiquid = ISNULL(TotLiq,0)
FROM dbo.vw_ActualFoodTotals
WHERE (MealID = @MealID);

You can replace the view with inline table valued user-defined function:

See example: SQL create INLINE table-valued function like a parametrized view

Pointbase : How can I create a stored procedure with Pointbase database?

Hello,
Excuse me for my english, I'm not anglophone. I try to create a stored procedure.
This is my file SampleExternalMethods.java :
import java.sql.*; //import com.pointbase.jdbc.jdbcInOutDoubleWrapper; public class SampleExternalMethods { // A connection object to allow database callback static Connection conn = null; static Statement l_stmt; static Statement m_stmt; static CallableStatement m_callStmt = null; static ResultSet l_rs = null; public static void main(String[] args) { try { String url = "jdbc:pointbase:server://localhost/pointbaseDB"; String username = "PBPUBLIC"; String password = "PBPUBLIC"; conn = DriverManager.getConnection(url, username, password); doCreateProcedure(); doInvokeProcedure(); } catch (SQLException e) { e.printStackTrace(); } finally { if (m_stmt != null) { try { m_stmt.close(); } catch (Exception e) { e.printStackTrace(); } } if (m_callStmt != null) { try { m_callStmt.close(); } catch (Exception e) { e.printStackTrace(); } } if (conn != null) { try { conn.close(); } catch (Exception e) { e.printStackTrace(); } } } } public static void getCountry(String Iso_Code) { try { // Query the database for the country iso code l_stmt = conn.createStatement(); l_rs = l_stmt.executeQuery( "SELECT * FROM countries" + " WHERE country_iso_code ='" + Iso_Code + "'"); //Affichage du résultat de la requête l_rs.next(); System.out.print(l_rs.getString(1) + " - "); System.out.print(l_rs.getString(2) + " - "); System.out.println(l_rs.getString(3)); // Close the result set l_rs.close(); } catch (SQLException e) { e.printStackTrace(); } finally { if (l_rs != null) { try { l_rs.close(); } catch (Exception e) { e.printStackTrace(); } } if (l_stmt != null) { try { l_stmt.close(); } catch (Exception e) { e.printStackTrace(); } } } } public static void doCreateProcedure() throws SQLException { // SQL statement to create a stored procedure String SQL_CREATE_PROC = "CREATE PROCEDURE getCountry(IN P1 VARCHAR(30))" + " LANGUAGE JAVA" + " SPECIFIC getCountry" + " NO SQL" + " EXTERNAL NAME \"SampleExternalMethods::getCountry\"" + " PARAMETER STYLE SQL"; // Create a SQL statement m_stmt = conn.createStatement(); // Execute the SQL m_stmt.executeUpdate(SQL_CREATE_PROC); // Close the statement //m_stmt.close(); } public static void doInvokeProcedure() throws SQLException { // Create SQL to invoke stored procedures String SQL_USE_PROC = "{ call getCountry(?) }"; // Create a callable statement with three binding parameters m_callStmt = conn.prepareCall(SQL_USE_PROC); m_callStmt.setString(1, "CA"); m_callStmt.executeQuery(); // Close the callable statement //m_callStmt.close(); } }
Afterwards, I have read this note in a Pointbase document:
To invoke the dateConvert external Java method from a stored function, you must use the
CREATE FUNCTION statement. The dateConvert external Java method is called from the
class, SampleExternalMethods.
In order for the database to access this external Java method, the class SampleExternalMethods
must be included in the database CLASSPATH. For PointBase Embedded - Server Option, it
must be in the Server CLASSPATH, but not in the Client CLASSPATH.
If PointBase Server is run with the Java Security Manager, in the java policy file grant
’com.pointbase.sp.spPermission’ to the class that implements the external Java method.
An "spPermission" consists of a class name with no action. The class name is a name of a class
that could be used in creating a Stored Procedure in PointBase. The naming convention follows
the hierarchical property naming convention and that is supported by
"java.security.BasicPermission". An asterisk may appear by itself, or if immediately preceded
by ".", may appear at the end of the name, to signify a wildcard match. The name cannot
contain any white spaces.
I'm not sure, but I suppose that I must include the class SampleExternalMethods in a .jar file.
The database CLASSPATH could be : C:\Sun\AppServer\pointbase\lib\
These my files in this database CLASSPATH:
pbclient.jar
pbembedded.jar
pbtools.jar
pbupgrade.jar
I have tryed to include the class SampleExternalMethods in pbclient.jar and pbembedded.jar with this command:
jar -uf pbembedded.jar SampleExternalMethods
Afterwards I do that,
1) Start Pointbase
2) Configuration of classpath
set classpath=C:\Sun\AppServer\pointbase\lib\pbclient.jar
set classpath=%classpath%;D:\J2EE\Ch07Code\Ch07_06
I precise that my file SampleExternalMethods is into D:\J2EE\Ch07Code\Ch07_06\Ch07.
Then, I run the program:
D:\J2EE\Ch07Code\Ch07_06>java -Djdbc.drivers=com.pointbase.jdbc.jdbcUniversalDriver Ch07.SampleExternalMethods
But I have an error message:
Exception in thread "main" java.lang.NoClassDefFoundError: Ch07.SampleExternalMethods (wrong name: SampleExternalMethods)
at java.lang.ClassLoader.defineClass0(Native Method)
at java.lang.ClassLoader.DefineClass(ClassLoader.java:539)
The problem, I suppose, comes from that the class SampleExternalMethods
must be included in the database CLASSPATH, but there is a pbserver.jar with pointbase normally, but I didn't find it. That's why I use pbembedded.jar or pbclient.jar in order to include the class SampleExternalMethods. May be I must start from C:\Sun\AppServer\pointbase\lib\ instead of D:\J2EE\Ch07Code\Ch07_06\Ch07?
Please, can somebody helps me?
Thank you in advance.

}But I have the same error message that previously.
I have read this note and I suppose that the problem is linked:
If PointBase Server is run with the Java Security Manager, in the java policy file grant
*com.pointbase.sp.spPermission to the class that implements the external Java method.*
An "spPermission" consists of a class name with no action. The class name is a name of a class
that could be used in creating a Stored Procedure in PointBase. The naming convention follows
the hierarchical property naming convention and that is supported by
*"java.security.BasicPermission". An asterisk may appear by itself, or if immediately preceded*
by ".", may appear at the end of the name, to signify a wildcard match. The name cannot
contain any white spaces.
Can you explain me what I must to do in order to solve this problem of spPermission.
Thanks.
