See package bodies

what privileges need to grant to a user in order for it to view/edit package bodies. currently, it can only see the declarations but not bodies.

Hi,
Query all_source (or dba_source) for the text of package bodies. You need DEBUG privileges on the package, or the extremely powerful system privilege CREATE ANY PROCEDURE.
If all_source displays gibberish, then the package is wrapped, and the source code is not available from the data dictionary. Contact the author or vendor.
You can't really edit a package. The owner, or someone with the CREATE ANY PROCEDURE privilege can execute a "CREATE OR REPLACE PACKAGE BODY" statement to make changes.

Database Diff - Identical package bodies are reported as different

SQLDeveloper - Version 3.2.10.09
Package bodies (DDL) on both source and destination database are identical but package body on the source database is marked as "invalid" and package body on destination database is marked as "valid" - then Database Diff reports that package bodies different. (but on panel showing DDL for both compared package bodies there is visible no difference).
After compiling package body on the source database (no changes in DDL) and when status of that package body changed to "valid" - now Database Diff correctly shows no difference.
Is that intentional behavior or bug?

According to the CM team, in the previous (pre-MDAPI) incarnation of CM, status was not compared, and got complaints about that.

Point taken. Though it seems these days whichever path you take you will get complaints. ;)

It would be possible to provide the option whether to compare status of objects that have status (PL/SQL objects, triggers, views, indexes) provided MDAPI reports the status, but it's a fairly hefty enhancement.

I take that to mean that the results do now, and will continue to, take status into account.
Perhaps my experience is using the functionality differently than what your team is working with.
I make heavy use of the DBMS_METADATA and DBMS_METADATA_DIFF packages. Much of that functionality operates on CLOBS containing data in either the raw XML or the SXML format.
So, to me, an XML in a CLOB has no status. So in comparing XML1 in CLOB1 to XML2 in CLOB2 the status that MIGHT have existed on the real object in the real database is irrelevant. I do comparisons between what is in version control and what is from some other source. That other source might have been, or might still be, an object in a database but status is meaningless since DDL in version control has no status. That is why, for my use cases, I wouldn't want to see a comparison fail due to a status issue.

85 DBMS_METADATA_DIFF
The DBMS_METADATA_DIFF package contains the interfaces for comparing two metadata documents in SXML format. The result of the comparison is an SXML difference document. This document can be converted to other formats using the DBMS_METADATA submit interface and the CONVERT API.

That is the basis for the comments I was making; that METADATA doesn't necessarily represent an actual object in an actual database.
Thanks for the links; I will add my vote there.

Unable to see packages / triggers etc in SQL Developer 3.1.07

Hi
The user has SELECT_CATALOG_ROLE role granted but still cannot see packages of other users.
Is there anything else I need to grant to this user in order that it may have visibility?
Can't see package body in SQL Developer version 3.1 covers it to a point but I need more please.
Thanks.
This user has SELECT AND TABLE and CREATE SESSION.
When I run this on the database connecting as this user I get rows returned which tells me its a SQL Developer thing?
select text from dba_source where name like '%a_package_name%';
Which could also mean I need to reinstall the damn thing doesn't it?

Hi,
The SELECT_CATALOG_ROLE should be sufficient as far as privileges go. I cannot recall at the moment, but there may well have been a bug or two fixed between 3.1.07.42 and 3.2.20.09.87 that solves this. Please try upgrading.

Unable to see package body in all_source

schema owner can see package and package body in all_source
another user, which has execute any procedure privs can only see the package, not the package body in all_source
Is there another privilege necessary to see the package body? I can't find any.
thanks, ...jrb

Is your package valid? OWB will not show invalid packages in the project tree. Go to the database schema and check if the package is valid. If the package is invalid, recompile and reimport it into OWB.

Invalid package bodies in SYS

I have a couple of package bodies that will not compile. One of these is sys.dbms_aqadm_sys which get the error "PLS-00753: malformed or corrupted wrapped unit" when compile is run.
Is there a way to recreate the package bodies since the compile will be work? Does anyone have a better solution?

Do not know how this happened. I am reviewing invalid packages to prepare for a DB upgrade. I do have other databases with the same version.

Privileges needed to view procedures, triggers, package bodies

What privileges are needed for a user to view procedures, triggers, package bodies in another schema? I don't want to grant privileges more powerful than needed like 'select ANY'.

If you want to give somebody access to view only some of objects without giving read/execute access to them probably the best method is to build your own view and give select acces to this view.
Example:
create view special_definitions as
select view_name obj_name, 'VIEW' obj_type text
    from dba_views
   where owner='OTHERSCHEMA'
       and view_name in ('VIEW1', 'VIEW2', ...)
union all
select trigger_name,'TRIGGER', trigger_body
    from dba_triggers
   where .....
grant select on special_definitions to special_user;Bartek

Unable to recompile invalid package bodies

Hello,
Recently, I cloned the EBS installation, and there were a lot of invalid objects. I used the script to recompile them, and they went fine except for some package bodies, that can't be recompiled neither manually via sqlplus, nor sqldeveloper. Tried also via adadmin, there is no way to be recompiled.
There are 39 packages owned by apps schema as follows:

Hi,
I was also facing similar problem when I applied packages from the code line to local DB.
You can try to first compile first the package specification and then compile the package body again.
If still you get the error : PL/SQL: SQL Statement ignored, this means that the package specification and the package body are not in sync (either one of them is an older version). In that case you need to check from the version control of these.

Corrupted PLSQL package bodies

On creating a Link the package wwv_builder is called. The package I have although valid has a corrupted body (I've included an extract below)
I was going to re-build the package from the plb in the ...\admin\plsql\wwv directory but I noticed that this file is corrupt as well(along with many other .plb, all the headers are OK)
Can anyone tell me how to re-create the plsql for the package bodies and will I loose anything that I've already done?
Thanks in advance

How do I view package bodies in another schema ?

For purposes of SOX and security/audit control, we log in under our network id's in our production environment. We have sourcecode compiled into Oracle seeded schemas ( APPS ) so that scheduled jobs are able to run with submitted from the Oracle Applications environment. We don't compile code into our personal network account areas.
I know how to GRANT EXECUTE privs so that we can execute a package in another schema, but what I want to do is to be able to view the sourcecode in another schema. Compile into APPS but be able to see the package body from my network id schema account.
I can't seem to find what the correct permission is anywhere. Granted I can look at DBA_SOURCE to get to it, but I want to use a tool like SQL Developer or TOAD to look at the code in a more presentable and easier to debug manner.
Any help ?

I did some more searching on the forum... seems its already a request... TOAD gives access to DBA_Views to resolve the issue... SQL Developer has not integrated that functionality yet, but forum entries seem to indicate that it is on the horizon.
Thanks for responding though.

Can't see package body in SQL Developer version 3.1

Hello,
Have been scouring the boards and google for this issue for quite some time now. I think I have discovered the issue, but would like to see if a work around exists.
Problem:
I am unable to view packages, procs, VIEW DDl, etc. of other users. When a colleague of mine uses Toad, with the EXACT same connection ID and setting, they are in fact able to see all the source code...
What I've found:
Looking around, apparently Toad and SQL Dev work in different ways. Toad apparently uses DBA_SOURCE and DBA_OBJECTS to generate everything.
SQL Dev uses the META_DATA package to retrieve everything. Further, in order to use the meta_data package, I need the grant catalog role, or something like that.
Is there a way to set up SQL Developer to use the same method as Toad to retrieve the code? It's a fact that I WILL NOT receive the catalog permission per the DBAs... I can write out the
select text from DBA_SOURCE where OWNER = 'OWNER' and NAME = 'OBJECT NAME';
But, I would prefer to just be able to use the tree nodes and click on objects to generate all this. Anyone know of any setting for this?

Hi,
No doubt SQL Developer wants to be competitive with Toad but, in terms of raising red flags over inconsistencies in basic functionality, any difference versus SQL*Plus would be more surprising than versus Toad.
DBA_SOURCE and DBA_OBJECTS are public synonyms available in any standard Oracle installation, but you also need the SELECT ANY DICTIONARY privilege to get maximum benefit from them. That lets you view code in another user's schema without having an explicit privilege (like EXECUTE) on a package/procedure/function.
If you already do have such privileges (either SELECT ANY DICTIONARY, or EXECUTE or DEBUG on specific executable objects), and the Code tab is empty, then you will need to provide a test case, as Vadim indicates.
In terms of any case where SQL Developer utilizes DBMS_METADATA, my understanding is the API relies on the SELECT_CATALOG_ROLE privilege if a user does not own or otherwise have an explicitly granted privilege on an object. Developers like to use this API wherever possible in place of writing a script that might break or need maintenance to deal with future versions of the Oracle database.
I have no idea how Toad works, and I probably shouldn't speculate, but here is one scenario that could explain the case you mention without the connection user having any of the privileges noted above. Let's say the Toad client software calls a PL/SQL package that selects from DBA_SOURCE and is installed in a schema that has the SELECT ANY DICTIONARY privilege. All Toad users are granted EXECUTE on this package and therefore inherit SELECT ANY DICTIONARY in the context of running the package. This will work, but at the price of complicating installation of Toad. Also, it doesn't afford an administrator fine-grained control over metadata security.

Newbie problems, Tomcat 4.1 not seeing package

Hello,
New to the whole jsp development scene and I seem to be tripping up on the first hurdle. Any one with a few minutes and some patience to point me in the right direction would be greatly rewarded in the afterlife : )
I have created 2 class files and compiled them in their package folder "shopengine".
My directory structure for my TomCat 4.1 website is shown here:
C:\Tomcat 4.1\webapps\ROOT\aardvark\WEB-INF\classes\com\shopengine
where aardvark is my main site folder that contains all my jsp and html content.
As per convention, I have put to denote that they are contained in a folder called shopengine, within a folder called com.
I then created a simple jsp page named testpage.jsp in NetBeans 3.5.1, (see code below) and I built and compiled the page with no errors showing.
When I open the page in my browser with TomCat running I get a message indicating that my package don't exist. - see below.
There must be something I am not doing here that is completely missing me as everything seems to be correct.
I have mounted the filesystem in NetBeans, but I have not turned it into a web module, is that what is wrong?
<%@ page contentType="text/html; charset=iso-8859-1" language="java" %>
<%@ page import="java.sql.*, java.util.*, com.shopengine.*" errorPage="errorpage.jsp" %>

<p>This is a test page to see if the classes importing from package</p>
</body>
</html>
Tomacat error as shown below:
org.apache.jasper.JasperException: Unable to compile class for JSP
An error occurred at line: -1 in the jsp file: null
Generated servlet error:

Don't put the aardvark directory under ROOT; put it directly under TOMCAT_HOME/webapps.
The URL to invoke your app will be:
http://localhost:8080/aardvark/YourJSP.jsp
Don't forget to restart Tomcat after you've moved everything.

Can't see package body in SQL Developer version 2.1.1.64

When I go to the object browser, I can see all of the package specs but can't seem to get to the package body. I can access the package body just fine through Toad, so I don't think it is an Oracle user issue. Help?

I can see any user's Package Body when I'm logged into the database as a DBA, so it must be some privilege that you need. The privilege I would have guessed you need is SELECT ANY DICTIONARY but you say you have that privilege. If you were granted that privilege through a role, make sure that the role is active, or that it is a default role.
Another role it might be looking for is EXECUTE ANY PROCEDURE, but I'm not sure. See if you can do these selects, since these are probably the views that SQL Developer is using:
select * from dba_objects where owner = 'some owner' and object_type = 'PACKAGE BODY';
select * from dba_source where owner = ' some owner' and type = 'PACKAGE BODY';Of course, if your database administrator is willing to grant you the DBA role, that ought to do the trick - works for me. Otherwise, you and your DBA may have to try different system privileges until you find the one that works.

Why a semi-colon is not enough when creating packages and package bodies?

Hi,
I'm struggling with a quite simple problem - when creating a package header and body in the same script, it does not work as expected. See for example this very simple package:
CREATE OR REPLACE PACKAGE mypackage AS
PROCEDURE test_proc(id INTEGER);
END mypackage;
CREATE OR REPLACE PACKAGE BODY mypackage AS
PROCEDURE test_proc(id INTEGER) IS
BEGIN
NULL;
END test_proc;
END mypackage;
When executed from JDeveloper (or sqlplus), the package is created but with a "PLS-00103: Encountered the symbol CREATE" error. It seems Oracle does not recognize the script contains header and body, and uses the whole script as a header (which is obviously wrong).
If modified so that there are "/" everything works fine:
CREATE OR REPLACE PACKAGE mypackage AS
PROCEDURE test_proc(id INTEGER);
END mypackage;
CREATE OR REPLACE PACKAGE BODY mypackage AS
PROCEDURE test_proc(id INTEGER) IS
BEGIN
NULL;
END test_proc;
END mypackage;
Why is this necessary? Why Oracle does not recognize that "END mypackage;" actually ends package header definition, and combines it with the body definition into an invalid block? I've thought semicolon is a valid separator, so why is the "/" necessary?
It does not work even when I try to run the statements separately (from the same worksheet in Jdeveloper) - first select the header block, hit F9 (execute statement), then repeated the same for body. In this case both header and body are created, but are invalid because the last semicolon is removed from them (so it's not possible to compile them).

For that to work, the SQL engine would have to understand PL/SQL syntax. Only the PL/SQL compiler knows when all the END statements have matched up with their corresponding declarations, and it doesn't do CREATE statements. I guess it could detect that the compilation unit it started has finished and pass any text left over back up to SQL to have another shot at. I'm not sure that's reasonable. There is no other example in SQL where one CREATE statement can turn into two - e.g. you can't send a block of CREATE INDEX statements together and expect the database to parse them out into separate commands.

Added example about indexes.

InDesign Not seeing Packaged Changes

We're having an intermittent problem with InDesign not seeing changes made from an editors returned package.
Version:
InDesign CS3 5.0.4
InCopy CS3 5.0.4
. InDesign file is on server
. Exported InCopy files (.incx) is in a different path on same server
. "indp" packaged files were returned via email and copied to the server (tried both in location of InDesign file as well as the ".incx" files
. Proceed through normal workflow for "remote" editor, collaborating via email
. After double clicking on the returned "indp" file InDesign opens the appropriate InDesign file (if it isn't already opened) but shows no modifications in the Links or Assignments palette. The "Packaged" icon has disappeared from the assignment. Big clue here - the links of the ".incx" files are still pointing to the original, unmodified, files.
It appears that though the packaged file opens the appropriate InDesign file and tells the file that the package has returned, it does not link it's own unpackaged modified files in with the InDesign file. Is it because the double-clicking (uncompressing) of the indp file is putting the uncompressed package within the users local "Documents" folder?
I should point out that we are not having this problem consistently.
Any suggestions?

Unchecking the birthdays option definitely knocked something loose - but iTunes still had old stuff listed.
I had good results with removing everything from the ~/Library/Calendars folder and emptying the trash (with iTunes & iCal) both exited. I started iCal and it was back to the default - as if I had never used it - but then for reasons I'm not totally sure of, everything showed back up. My subscriptions all reappeared and I had calendars of the same name as my subscriptions appear in the regular section. I deleted all those and then quit & restarted iCal. When I started iTunes, everything was perfect - now everything appears normally and everything syncs.
As always, YMMV.
Good luck!

Not able to compile wrapped package bodies.

Hi All
Can anybody pls help me finding me the reason why I m not able to compile .plb (wrapped package body). There are no compilation errors. But when I run the .plb file (as @xyz.plb), sqlplus window hangs. No error shown. Everytime I had to close the window after waiting for 8-10 minutes.
This is happening only with 11 files out of 200.Rest were compiled.
Any ideas? Do we have any other way to wrap than using pl/sql wrap utility or pl/sql plug-in for wrapping(which is actually the same as former)??
ThanksInAdvance!!
Keep striking the iron until it's hot!

yes, I did check for locks from pl/sql developer only. No Locks.
I waited for 10 minutes for a 6 kb .plb file to get compiled. But had to close the session after that.
I am using oracle 10g, pl/sql developer 7.1.0.1337
sql*plus Release 10.2.0.2.0
