Sending '?' in XML tag to Oracle Stored Procedure

I have a situation that I cannot find the answer to why it is happening.
I am sending an XML data type to an oracle stored procedure. In one of the fields, I need to allow the '?' character to be sent.
<ADDITIONALINFO>This is where I want ? to be</ADDITIONALINFO>
When I send the info to the stored procedure I get the following error: ORA-31011: XML parsing failed ORA-19202: Error occurred in XML processing
LPX-00216: invalid character 191 (0xBF)Error at line 19
What I do not understand is that the character (0xBF) is the inverted question mark �
I have been able to get around the issue by changing the question mark to ? which is the decimal format for the question mark and the query works.
ie: <ADDITIONALINFO>This is where I want &#63 to be</ADDITIONALINFO>
Is there another delimiter that is needed for '?' like what is needed to print the & in & fashion?
Any insight to this issue would be helpful.

There are some characters that you cannot use in an XML document, but I was not aware that the questionmark was one of them. As far as I know, you need to transform the characters '&', '<' and '>', and any character with a code higher than 127. The fact that the question mark is turned into an upside down questionmark seems to be some weird functionality.

Parsing of xml file in oracle stored procedure on linux server

We have an XML file in the "/database/stats/dev/xml1/" path and tried to parse the file using the below code :
p := xmlparser.newParser;
xmlparser.setValidationMode(p, FALSE);
-- xmlparser.setErrorLog(p, errfile);
xmlparser.setBaseDir(p, dir);
xmlparser.parse(p, inpfile);
doc := xmlparser.getDocument(p);
xmlparser.freeParser(p);
The above procedure is throwing below mentioned exception at "xmlparser.parse(p, inpfile);".
SQLCODE: ORA-31001
SQLERRM: ORA-31001: Invalid resource handle or path name "/xml1.dtd"
The xml file contains the following line, which is giving an error, while parsing the xml file.
<!DOCTYPE CCIOrder SYSTEM "xml1.dtd">
Directory Structure:
OWNER DIRECTORY_NAME DIRECTORY_PATH
SYS XML1 /database/stats/dev/xml1

you'll need to use server-side code to check the xml file names in that folder, return that list to flash and display the list to the user.
or, if you can get by presenting a hard-coded list of xml files, you won't need any server-side coding.

Executing an Oracle Stored Procedure from Sender JDBC adapter

I could really use some help from someone who had done this before.
I've read the help about using the JDBC sender adapter, but it's not helping enough.
I found this line: "Specify an SQL EXECUTE statement to execute a stored procedure, which contains exactly one SELECT statement.
The expression must correspond to the SQL variant supported by the relevant JDBC driver. It can also contain table JOINs."
That's definately what we want to do, but we can't figure out the syntax.
The procedure in oracle looks like this:
CREATE OR REPLACE PROCEDURE test_ref_cursor
( cur_generic IN OUT result_sets.cur_generic)
as
BEGIN
Open cur_generic for
select
   proposal_number,
   to_char(sequence_number),
   column_name,
   column_value,
   update_timestamp,
   update_user
   from
   coeus.sap_test;
END test_ref_cursor;
And we have tried every kind of statement we can think of, but the file adapter always gives us an "invalid sql statement" error.
Does anyone know what syntax we need to put in the "Query SQL Statement" in the JDBC sender adapter in order to call this procedure? Or is there something wrong with the procedure that is causing the error?
<i>I will absolutely return and give points, but PLEASE read my whole post before answering and do not just link me to or quote the help for configuring a sender JDBC adapter or blogs that are about the JDBC adapter in general but do not deal with the issues I am having. Thank you.</i>

Hi Vanda,
Unfortunately, the sender JDBC adapter does not support Oracle's store procedure/function. Unlike stored procedures from other database vendors, Oracle returns a cursor, not a resultset. The sender JDBC adapter must send a resultset to XI.
There are 2 possible ways you can accomplish this:
1. Use BPM and call the Oracle stored procedure using a receiver adapter via a asynch-synch bridge.
2. Develop a user-module for the adapter, which can be used with a sender adapter.
Thanks

JDBC Sender adapter - Oracle - Stored Procedure - Error

Hello,
Need few clarifications on JDBC sender adapter and stored procedures when connecting to Oracle DB.
My scenario is, Oracle to SAPBW. So in sender JDBC adapter, we have used a SP having multiple SQL statements it, esp. one of the SELECT statment having Joins on a table and View.
My questions are,
1) Is it possible to have more SQL statements in SP for Sender JDBC?
2) Is the SP of Oracle DB returns resultset or cursor?
I have tried in searching the forum perticularly for connecting to Oracle as Sender and below like said that there is a limitation of XI JDBC when connecting to Oracle.
Executing an Oracle Stored Procedure from Sender JDBC adapter
So please clarify the doubts and help me.
With regards,
Jilan

Hi Jilan,
Unlike what was mentioned in the link given by you that oracle returns cursor and not resultset is not completely true. It may be difficult but certainly not impossible.
Refer : http://www.enterprisedt.com/publications/oracle/result_set.html

JDBC Sender - Oracle Stored procedures

hi all
i am working on JDBC sender - File receiver
I am fetching data from Oracle database
if i write select query directly in sender adapter the scenario is working properly but when try to write stored procedure in oracle and use execute statement in JDBC, adapter is throwing error.
As in oracle to fetch multiple rows i have to use cursors .
i read lot of articles in forum but still not clear on following issues :can any one solve them?
1 . To get multiple rows can i write SP without cursors?
2 . If SP is using cursor do my XI accept it or it only accepts resultset? in that case how to write sp.
thanks & regards
sheetal

Sheetal,
Adding to Jai Shankar's reply, Like pointed out, Oracle Stored Procedures return Cursors and XI sender JDBC adapter expects resultsets and so it is not possible to call Oracle SP's from Sender JDBC adapters.
But, I have also come across a few recent threads where there have been discussions that this is possible from SP 16 onwards. I have not been able to check and confirm on this, but, maybe you can check your SP level and see if you are below SP 16 . If yes, definetly not possible. If SP 16, or above, a Quick OSS to SAP should surely give the answer if it is possible or not!
Do let us know your findings.

Very urgent help needed- Error while passing XML document to Oracle stored

Hi !
I have been struggling a lot to call Oracle 9i stored procedure passing Stringbuilder object type from ASP.NET
I am using Visual Studio 2008 Professional, OS: Windows XP and Oracle: 9.2.0.1.0
Following is the procedure:
CREATE or REPLACE PROCEDURE loadCompanyInfo (clobxml IN clob) IS
-- Declare a CLOB variable
ciXML clob;
BEGIN
-- Store the Purchase Order XML in the CLOB variable
ciXML := clobxml;
-- Insert the Purchase Order XML into an XMLType column
INSERT INTO companyinfotbl (companyinfo) VALUES (XMLTYPE(ciXML));
commit;
--Handle the exceptions
EXCEPTION
WHEN OTHERS THEN
raise_application_error(-20101, 'Exception occurred in loadCompanyInfo procedure :'||SQLERRM);
END loadCompanyInfo ;
And following is the ASP.net code:
StringBuilder b = new StringBuilder();
b.Append("<?xml version=\"1.0\" encoding=\"utf-8\" ?>");
b.Append("<item>");
b.Append("<price>500</price>");
b.Append("<description>some item</description>");
b.Append("<quantity>5</quantity>");
b.Append("</item>");
//Here you'll have the Xml as a string
string myXmlString1 = b.ToString();
//string result;
using (OracleConnection objConn = new OracleConnection("Data Source=testdb; User ID=testuser; Password=pwd1"))
OracleCommand objCmd = new OracleCommand();
objCmd.Connection = objConn;
objCmd.CommandText = "loadCompanyInfo";
objCmd.CommandType = CommandType.StoredProcedure;
//OracleParameter pmyXmlString1 = new OracleParameter("pmyXmlString1", new OracleString(myXmlString1));
objCmd.Parameters.Add("myXmlString1", OracleType.clob);
objCmd.Parameters.Add(myXmlString1).Direction = ParameterDirection.Input;
//objCmd.Parameters.Add("result", OracleType.VarChar).Direction = ParameterDirection.Output;
try
objConn.Open();
objCmd.ExecuteNonQuery();
catch (Exception ex)
Label1.Text = "Exception: {0}" + ex.ToString();
objConn.Close();
When I am trying to execute it, I am getting the following error:
Exception: {0}System.Data.OracleClient.OracleException: ORA-06550: line 1, column 7: PLS-00306: wrong number or types of arguments in call to 'LOADCOMPANYINFO' ORA-06550: line 1, column 7: PL/SQL: Statement ignored at System.Data.OracleClient.OracleConnection.CheckError(OciErrorHandle errorHandle, Int32 rc) at System.Data.OracleClient.OracleCommand.Execute(OciStatementHandle statementHandle, CommandBehavior behavior, Boolean needRowid, OciRowidDescriptor& rowidDescriptor, ArrayList& resultParameterOrdinals) at System.Data.OracleClient.OracleCommand.ExecuteNonQueryInternal(Boolean needRowid, OciRowidDescriptor& rowidDescriptor) at System.Data.OracleClient.OracleCommand.ExecuteNonQuery() at Default.Button1Click(Object sender, EventArgs e)
I understand from this that the .net type is not the correct one, but I am not sure how to correct it. I could not find any proper example in any documentation that I came across. Most of the examples give information on how to read but not how to insert XML into Oracle table by calling Stored Procedure.
Can you please help me to solve this problem? I hope that you can help solve this.
Also, can you please give me an example of passing XML document XMLdocument to Oracle Stored procedure.
In both the cases, if you can provide the working code then it would be of great help.
Thanks,

Invoking Oracle stored procedures from within a JDBC channel for PI 7.1

Hi ,
Can anybody tell me that is it possible to invoke Oracle stored Procedure from within a JDBC sender channel for PI 7.1.
Its working in XI3.0 and XI 7.0 for Oracle DBMS versions >= 10.2.x. But I am not sure,whether it will work for PI 7.1 also.
Thanks & Regards,

HI,
refer below link,there is no much difference in PI7.1 ,executing stored procedure is same .

where e.edi_extract_id = to_number(p_edi_extract_id);
exception
   when no_data_found then
        p_res := t;
end XI_TEST;
The request XML is as follows:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8" ?>

<EDI_EXTRACT_ID isInput="true" type="STRING">4223142</EDI_EXTRACT_ID>
</PROC_NAME>
</STATEMENT>
</ns0:MT_EDIExtractSelectionRequest>
The error I am getting is as follows:

Hi Rajesh
Changing the DT per your suggestion result in the following error:
<SAP:AdditionalText>com.sap.engine.interfaces.messaging.api.exception.MessagingException: Error processing request in sax parser:
No 'action' attribute found in XML document
(attribute "action" missing or wrong XML structure)</SAP:AdditionalText>
Omitting the PROC_NAME element from the DT is not correct.
Also, I would also like to clarify that the variables of the DT I am using are:
EDI_EXTRACT_ID is defined as string
EDI_EXTRACT is defined as string
Because the variable p_res is mapped to nothing in the request payload it does not show.
I read in one of the posts that this is correct and the variable is used due to the fact the isOutput attribute is true.

Effi.

Calling Oracle Stored Procedure from BC4J JSP App

I am on an extremely tight deadline and am trying to get my JSP application to use an Oracle Stored Procedure. I need to take some input from the user and send these values as parameters. Has anyone worked with Stored Procedures in JDev3.1? Please reply with some sample code if possible.
Thanks.

Hi,
Someone posted a similar request the other day. Here is my response to them:
Basically, you need to create a custom method from your JSP's ViewObject, which calls the stored procedure. You can then call the ViewObject's custom method from the JSP client.
Here is how I have done it:
1. Choose the ViewObject that your JSP is based on and choose 'Edit' from the context menu.
2. On the Java tab of the ViewObject wizard, choose Generate Java File checkbox for the View Object Class and click the Finish button. A file is created under the ViewObject node in the Navigator named 'viewobjectImpl.java'.
3. Open the viewobjectImpl.java file in the code editor and create a method to call your stored procedure (see sample code below).
4. Compile the VOImpl.java file.
5. Choose the view object again, and choose Edit again from the context menu.
6. On the Client Methods tab, you should now see your method appear in the Available field. Select it and shuttle it to the Selected field.
7. Click Finish to leave the VO wizard, and rebuild your Business Components project.
8. In your JSP, call the custom method (see sample code below).
sample code for custom method calling a stored procedure from VOImpl.java file:
public int getTotalHits(String mon, String year) {
CallableStatement stmt = null;
int total;
// the call to the PL/SQL stored proc
String totalhits = "{? = call walkthru.total_hits(?,?)}";
// use the AM conxn 2 call storedproc
stmt = getDBTransaction().createCallableStatement(totalhits, 1);
try
// Bind the Statement Parameters and //Execute this Statement
stmt.registerOutParameter(1,Types.INTEGER);
stmt.setString(2,mon); stmt.setString(3,year);
stmt.execute();
total = stmt.getInt(1);
catch (Exception ex)
throw new oracle.jbo.JboException(ex);
finally
try
stmt.close();
catch (Exception nex)
return total;
sample render code for calling custom method from JSP custom bean:
public void render() {
int totalhits;
try
Row[] rows;
// Retrieve all records by default, the qView variable is defined in the base class
qView.setRangeSize(-1);
qView.first();
rows = qView.getAllRowsInRange();
// instantiate a view object for our exported method
// and call the stored procedure to get the total
ViewObject vo = qView.getViewObject();
wtQueryView theView = (wtQueryView) vo;
totalhits = theView.getTotalHits(session.getValue("m").toString(),session.getValue("y").toString());
out.println(totalhits);
} catch(Exception ex)
throw new RuntimeException(ex.getMessage());
}

SOS..How to execute an Oracle Stored procedure

Please help me.
I need to execute an oracle stored procedure from a JSP.
I'M using Jakarta Tomcat and I dont have the Oracle Jbo tags and no BC4j tags.
Anyone have an example using standar tags or directives???.
This an emergency call..!!!!!!

To execute a stored procedure (Oracle or other), you must create a CallableStatement.
Here is the link to the API description:
http://java.sun.com/products/jdk/1.2/docs/api/java/sql/CallableStatement.html
You use it like a query but the the syntax is:
{call <procedure-name>[<arg1>,<arg2>, ...]}

Passing XMLType Data into oracle stored procedure using JDBC

Hi Friends,
I have requirement where my oracle stored procedure accepts XML file as an input. This XML File is generated in runtime using java, I need to pass that xml file using JDBC to oracle stored procedure. Please let me know the fesibile solution for this problem.
Following are the environment details
JDK Version: 1.6
Oracle: 10g
Server: Tomcat 6.x
Thanks in Advance

A 'file' is a file system entity. There is no way to pass a 'file' anywhere. Not PL/SQL. Not java.
Now you can pass a file path (a string) in java and to PL/SQL.
Or you can pass xml data (a string) in java and to PL/SQL. For PL/SQL you could use eithe a varchar2, if the xml is rather small, or a blob/clob.

Not able to get Oracle stored procedure return value passed to Powerbuilder

I have an Oracle Stored Procedure that receives a string value and returns a string value.. When I call it from Powerbuilder, it executes but does not send the return value of a string back. I am trying to encrypt a string in Powerbuilder, pass it to a .net web page and then decrypt so I can check the security tables for permissions to view the web page. I have tried creating a simple stored procedure that takes a string and returns a string to Powerbuilder; but even that is not working. Any suggesstions?

Hello John,
I'm not sure if you already found a solution using an ODBC connection.

Execute this script
uo_trans l_transaction
string ls_outparam
l_transaction = CREATE uo_trans
// Profile ODBC_ORA
l_transaction.DBMS = "ODBC"
l_transaction.AutoCommit = False
l_transaction.DBParm = "ConnectString='DSN=ODBC_ORA;UID=system;PWD=<xxxxxx>'"
connect using l_transaction;
ls_outparam = space (30)
l_transaction.testinout_varchar( sle_1.text, ls_outparam)
messagebox("OUT parameter", ls_outparam)
disconnect using l_transaction;
DESTROY l_transaction

Java App connection to an Oracle Database through Oracle Stored Procedure

My team's access to its Databases (Oracle only) is restricted to access through Oracle Stored Procedures that are part of the Oracle Database. So, in my Java App I need to call the Stored Procedure that will give me the access to the table that I need, declare the right parameters and execute the command. The Stored Procedure will then hand me the data I need.
I am finding support on the web for creating Stored Procedures in Java, but that is not what I need.
Can anyone post here a class that addresses this, or point me to a link that will shed some light on it?
Thanks

I am looking for Java code that will do what this .NET code below does (connects to a database and writes data to the table through an Oracle stored procedure that is part of the Oracle Database.)
So learn Java, learn JDBC and translate the requirements; don't attempt to translate the code as the platforms are too different.
From a quick glance it looks like a JDBC CallableStatement can do the job.

Hi Ganesh,
As this error comes when you are trying to insert non-numeric value into a numeric column in db it seems that your field might be numeric and you are trying to send it as a string in database.
Please check your Store Proc carefully..
