Source database version dependency

Hello community,
While running execution plan for "Procurement and Spend only analytics" in DAC we are getting the following error on one of the Informatica workflow - SDE_ORA_PurchaseReceiptFact_full.
"From keyword not found where expected".
AFter investigating further, we found that the following function is not compatiable - CONNECT_BY_PATH with our source database(Oracle 9i / EBS 11.5.10.2).
Just want to if anyone who has implemented OBIEE / BI Apps 7.9.6 with Oracle 9i / EBS 11.5.10.2 has the same problem and if yes, how did you resolve the issue.
Thank you
Raghu

Hi
I always used Ultra Search with the Enterprise Edition. But, since it isn't an option, it should be available in the Standard Edition as well. Also in the documentation, especially http://download-west.oracle.com/docs/cd/B10501_01/server.920/a96531/ch5_edit.htm#90217, there is no mention...

Database version dependancies

What other components of ApEx 2.2 are database version dependant where functionality is either altered, hindered, or disabled?
I am on 9iR2, so the current ones that I know are
- Database Account authentication scheme (altered)
- Regular Expression item validation (disabled)

- In 10.1 and higher, Create Job privilege is initially granted to workspace schemas.
- In 10.2.0.3 and higher, roles are respected during dynamic SQL parsing in facilities like the SQL Command Processor.
- In 10.1.0.3 and higher some operations previously implemented using dbms_obfuscation_toolkit are implemented using dbms_crypto.

I have been looking into MySql and its not really impressed me. Not sure that there is anything better.
And it depends on your usage.
InstantDB is one http://www.lutris.com/downloads/index.html but it is limited to non-commercial use.
Interbase (firebird) at http://firebird.sourceforge.net/
I believe the unix side usually supports a variety that you could probably search for.
And if cheap is ok, rather than free and open, and using it only for developement then you can get full versions of Oracle and MS SQL Server very cheaply.

Hi,
From the 10.1.2 BI Beans Install Guide it says:
OracleBI Beans supports data stored in Oracle9i Enterprise Edition or Oracle Database 10g Enterprise Edition. However, only particular releases and patchsets are supported:
* Oracle9i Release 2 Enterprise Edition, as follows:
o 9.2.0.6 for all platforms.
o 9.2.0.5 with the latest OLAP patch for Windows-only.
* Oracle Database 10g Release 1 Enterprise Edition with the latest OLAP patch.
From the error message it would appear that the Database is not one of the above.
Thanks,
Lisa

Hi,
Please note that we have follwing versions of DB up and running:-
1)Oracle Database 10g Enterprise Edition Release 10.1.0.2.0 - Production
With the Partitioning, OLAP and Data Mining options
2)Oracle9i Enterprise Edition Release 9.2.0.5.0 - Production
With the Partitioning and Real Application Clusters options
JServer Release 9.2.0.5.0 - Production
Pls let us know the solution to resolve this problem ASAP.
Thanks.

You are not using a supported version of the database. BI Beans/OLAP only support the following database versions:
10g - 10.1.0.3 with additional OLAP patch
9i - 9205 with additional OLAP patch
9i - 9206
I would suggest that you have not applied all the required database patches to your instance.
Hope this helps

Locks made against source database (SQLServer 6.5 to 9.0.1.2 migration)

I was wondering if there is any information about the types of locks that OMWB will take out on the source SQLServer database in a migration. From what I can tell these locks occur on the source database while the table data is loaded in to the target Oracle database. Are they taken at any other time during the migration process? How does OMWB determine what locks to take?
I need to migrate several production SQLServer 6.5 databases and I need to understand how OMWB will perform locks so I don't bottleneck our production SQLServer databases while they are converted to Oracle. Most of the migration work will be performed off hours, but I still would like some insight into the locking. In a related question, how does OMWB maintain consistency between tables during the migration process?
Thanks in advance for your help.
-Reid

Hi,
You will be able to migrate from 6.5 to 9.3.1, if the 6.5 version is on a seperate server from the planned 9.3.1 version then you can use the migration wizard to do so.
If you want to migrate users and groups make sure the 9.3.1 version is still in native security mode, otherwise you will need to use esscmd/maxl to extract user information and then import.
The migration wizard will not take the data so you should really export that from your source.
Cheers

Database Version number 9.2.6 or 9.2.0.6

Can any one please tell me the detailed Database version numbers for Oracle 8i and Oracle 9i.
is there any database version available with version number 9.2.6. but i think 9.2.0.6 is only available.
what are all the patches required for upgrading oracle 8i to oracle 9.2.0.6

Hi, 
 
To explain the Oracle Release Number, I advise you to read Oracle release 
9.2.6. but i think 9.2.0.6 is only available You're right, 9.2.6 doesn't exists. But 9.2.0.7 is available for some plateform. 
And to migrate from 8i to 9i, you can directly migrate, but depend of 8i version. Read Upgrade Guide 
 
Nicolas.

The 'Third Party Connections' drop down box on the 'Source Database' step in the Migration Wizard is empty.

Here are the environmental details:
SQLDeveloper 32-bit Version 3.2.20.09 (Build MAIN-09.87)
Oracle Database: 12C single instance (no RAC)
Oracle client: 12C 32 bit
Windows 64 bit desktop
I am attempting to migrate an MS Access application to Oracle. I pick the ‘Migrate’ selection from the ‘Tools’ Menu SQL Developer. This puts me into the Migration Wizard. When I get to the ‘Source Database’ step of the migration wizard, the ‘Choose the Third Party database from which you are migrating’ drop-down box is not being populated with the current available connections. It is empty. If I type a valid connection name into the box, SQL Developer takes it on this screen but does not keep it for the next screen/step. It has no persistence. I even tried to make sure that each connection was open/connected before beginning the migration process.
Due to the fact that I am attempting to migrate an MSAccess application, I am mixing 32-bit and 64 bit software. This may be the issue as to why the drop down is losing addressability. I have not applied any patches to this version of SQL Developer.

Hi,
If you need easy way to migrate Microsoft Access to Oracle probably it is more reasonable to review some tools specially designed to this purpose. For example:
Access to Oracle converter by Intelligent Converters
Access to Oracle converter by SpectralCore
Access to Oracle converter by Interface Computers
Hope, this will help.
Sincerely,
Vlad

Oracle Report Failing After Database Version Upgrade

Hi,
I have function code created in RDF file of oracle reports 10g as below-
create or replace function clobblobtest (TMP_MID varchar2) return varchar is
missed_text varchar2(1000) := '';
v_time_stamp date;
v_end_time date;
cursor c1(c_time_stamp in date,

where mn.mid=c_mid
 and mn.create_date >= c_time_stamp;
cursor c2(c_time_stamp in date,
 c_mid in varchar2,
 c_end_time in date) is
 select mn.TEXT from msgnotes mn
where mn.mid=c_mid
 and mn.create_date >= c_time_stamp
 and mn.create_date <= c_end_time;
begin
IF ('1' = 'INWARD RETURN') then
 select bbi into missed_text from mtf1000 where mid=TMP_mid;
 ELSIF '1'='QPH Missed' then
Select max(nj.update_date) into v_time_stamp
from newjournal nj
where nj.mid=TMP_mid and nj.status = 'CTOVRQ';
for i in c1(v_time_stamp,TMP_mid) loop
missed_text:=missed_text||' '||i.text;
END Loop;
ELSIF ('Rejected'='Rejected' OR 'REJECTED'='REJECTED') then

for i in c2(v_time_stamp,TMP_mid,v_end_time) loop
missed_text:=missed_text||' '||i.text;
END Loop;
ELSE
Select max(nj.update_date) into v_time_stamp
from newjournal nj
where nj.mid=TMP_mid and nj.status = 'UNSETLED';
for i in c1(v_time_stamp,TMP_mid) loop
missed_text:=missed_text||' '||i.text;
END Loop;
END IF;
ELSE missed_text := null;
END IF;
return(missed_text);
End;
Note:- Text column from table msgnotes is of datatype CLOB.
I have executed report having this function before oracle upgrade and it works fine.
But when i am trying to execute report after oracle version upgrade from 11.2.0.3.0 to 11.2.0.4.0 with same data report fails with runtime error Rep-1401: '' Fatal PL/SQL Error.
With New version we tried to typecast Text column from clob to varchar and executed report then it works... but report runs on old version without any explicit typecasting.
Please note when i run and call this funtion from sql developer with upgraded database version it works fine.
Please advise.

This error can possibly depend on the fact that the PL/SQL engines are in different versions. When using SQL Developer you use the PL/SQL engine in the database. When using Oracle Reports you use the PL/SQL engine in the Oracle Reports Server (Web Logic Server even maybe). These versions - in the Forms and Reports realm - are different (read: a lower version) than the PL/SQL engine in the database.
If I check what version I have in Oracle Forms, as an example, I get 11.1.0.7.0 (Help in the Oracle Forms Builder menu) but in the database I have (select * from product_component_version;) 11.2.0.3.0.
That COULD be your issue...how to fix it I am not sure...

SQL Server 2000 to Oracle 9.2 problem [b]"Source database not captured"[/b]

hi, first-timer here working with the latest omwb version.
anyway
i'm trying to do a offline migration of the "Northwind" demo database as an example, they are no problems with the process, everything works like a charm ... until is time to press the "finish" button in the wizard-summary screen.
after that the output seems normal and there's no error, the completion pop-up message throws a 0 warnings 0 errors, supposedly ending the loading of the model, but the capture is labeled as aborted and the source database is not captured at all.
i have done everything in the manual, creating the privileged user "omwb_user", seeing that the corresponding tablespace was created, giving enough space everywhere.
so, what's the problem here?
i will appreciate any help or hint
thank in advance

i thought that mi domain standard of "john.doe" was the problem, i take out all the users, and now there is only the "sa" and "guest" accounts.
tried the online capture and it worked completely, tried the offline, the same problem:

Changes in Source Database.

Hi All,
OWB Config Details is as follows.
OWB ver 9.2 with Windows NT
Oracle 9i.
In near future we are expecting changes in source database i.e. source database from existing will change to a new database which may be same or different.
The level of changes identified are as follows.
Table Name Changes
Column Name Changes
Business Logic Changes
View name changes
I guess there will be changes in other parameter like ip address,sid, dblink ..etc.
I knew in OWB 9.0.2.56 column level changes can be incorporated by re-importing the table & adding,modifying or deleting the column & by selecting in-bound / out-bound reconcillation option in mapping editor. I would like to know is it the same way we need to do in OWB 9.2 version or is there any better way or utility which can ease this task?
As per my knowledge we will need to do it for each & every mapping & in case of business logic change, we will need to recreate the mapping.
Can someone help me in this?
Thanks in Advance.
Regards,
Vidyanand

Hi Igor,
You are talking about simplifying matters when there have been changes in the source, and that that is going to be in the release of Q2-2004.
Which release might that be and - since it is already mid september - is it already 'on the market'?
What I'm looking for is an 'easy' way to incorporate changes in source objects in all mapping objects that are not database objects.
So far this has always been a manual job, since only DB-objects can be reconciled. If you have a very big mapping with a lot of objects between source and target DB-object, this has proven to be extremely time-consuming, since all objects have to be opened and the attribute properties of altered columns manually adjusted to the new situation.
Is this wat you are talking about that is going to be greatly improved?
If not, what would be the best approach for these sorts of operations?
Cheers, Patrick

Ojdbc14.jar API and Oracle Database Version

Hi
Im using ojdbc14.jar for accessing an oracle 10G database.
Im trying to troubleshoot an exception -
java.sql.SQLException: Parameter Type Conflict
that seems to get thrown by the method -
OraclePreparedStatament.processCompletedBindRow
I have a couple of questions:
1. Is the documentation/source available for ojdbc14.jar in order that I can try and find out what this method is supposed to be doing?
2. Also, can anyone confirm if the jar Im using is the correct version of drivers for accessing a 10G database?
3. When I go to the JDBC support center at Oracle(http://www.oracle.com/technology/docs/tech/java/sqlj_jdbc/index.html) any support documentation/APIs refer only to the Oracle db version and dont mention Java versions. Im using ojdbc14.jar which I guess is for use with Java version 1.4 onwards - how does this relate to the Oracle database versions?
Thnaks very much in advance to anyone who can give me any suggestions on the above. This issue has stumped me for days now. Ive checked and double checked my code, and the Oracle Java types I have generated from the database, and they all seem to be fine.
Jon

unzip it, and look at the MANIFEST.MF file in META-INF
If you do not know the version, you can just download appropriate one from oracle site.

DES, Java version dependency?

Hi,
this is my first posting so please be patient :)
i've written a module that writes DES-Encrypted email-addresses into my MySQL-database. Everything works fine, decription is working too.
The problem is, after I've changed the Java - Version (from 1.4.2_05 to _06) and
recompiled all classes, the addresses can't be decripted.
Where exactly is the problem?
Is it the recompilation itself, or java version dependency ?
Please help me
Thx

The only thing that is suspect is that you don't explicitly define the block mode and the padding. Though I don't like your exception handling and I don't like the way you keep generating new byte arrays and then never using them I don't think these features cause the problem.
Also, you should look at the SUN coding standards for method names.
I have taken the liberty of simplifying your code. Please feel free to ignore my changes if you want.

Streams on a source Database with DataGuard in place

Hello,
I want to know what would be the impact on performance on setting up Streams on a 9i RAC Database, which already has DataGuard implemented to a single instance database.
From the forums I have read that Streams works closely with redo logs and it can also be affected by archiving, so if my source database is archiving locally and remotely because of DataGuard, could this affect functionality or performance?
Thank you in advance.

Sure it will not have any affect on the functionality. Streams mines redo logs (and archive logs if needed) for the DDL and DML changes. It depends in which protection mode is your Data Guard is configured.
If its Max Protection then Streams has nothing to do with DG
If its Max Performance and you use LGWR ASYNC then yes, both Streams and DG will be mining the redo logs and you may have some performance issues but I think it will be negligible. The LNS process outside the SGA will be responsible in DG env to transport the changes and a Capture process again outside the SGA will be held responsible to mine the changes in Streams setup.
Conceptually, this should not have any performance impact on your Primary.

How to add source database

I already install Oracle Audit Vault Agent on that server.
And when I add source user on source DB, I can't found all DV role(ex. DV_ACCTMGR)
My step is
On Server1(Audit Vault Server)
- Install Oracle Audit Vault Server to Server1
- addagent on Server1 "avca add_agent -agentname HOLTUU1 -agenthost 192.0.66.87"
On Server2(Audit Vault Agent)
- on this server have 4 instances
- Create OS user "oaudit", Create ORACLE_BASE, ORACLE_HOME
- Install Oracle Audit Vault Agent
may be I mistaked one or more step.
please suggest me

Hi:
From your post, it appears you've managed to successfully install the AV Server (please specify the version - is it 10.2.3.0.0?).
It also appears that you are trying to install an agent on another machine, but you are getting an error asking you to use another ORACLE_HOME. For 10.2.3.0.0, this error is expected if the directory you are specifying already exists. Simply unset all ORACLE-specific environment variables (ORACLE_BASE, ORACLE_HOME, TNS_ADMIN, TWO_TASK, etc.), and start the installer. When asked which directory to install into, provide a directory that does not exist. The install should proceed just fine. After the install, you should set the environment variable ORACLE_HOME to this directory.
Regarding the DV_ACCTMGR role issue, I am assuming you are logging into the Audit Vault Server as SYS, and trying to create a user that would represent the source database. Please let me know if I am wrong. If I am right, I would recommend that you first upgrade the Audit Vault Server to the 10.2.3.2.0 patch set. You should also upgrade the agent. The 10.2.3.2.0 Administration Guide has been updated to indicate that you don't really need to create this user at all; the command 'avorcldb add_source...' will do the job for you.
You need to know that the Audit Vault Server uses Oracle Database Vault to protect the audit data. What this means is that the SYS user on the Audit Vault Server can not create a user. When you installed the Server, you were asked to specify a user that will be granted the Database Vault Account Manager (DV_ACCTMGR) role. Only that user can create other users on the Audit Vault Server, so you need to log in as that user. If you do not know the name of that user, or you used the Basic Install option (not Advanced Install), you can query the ALL_USERS table for a list. Typically, in Basic Install, the DV_ACCTMGR role is given to a user with the name <avadmin>dva, where <avadmin> is the user name you picked for the Audit Vault Administrator, and his password is the same as that of the Audit Vault Administrator's.
Hope this helps.

OWB 10gR2 and 11gR2 integrate which with oracle database versions

I request a clear definite reply as I need to suggest the client to upgrade their production databases. I did try searching on the oracle sites, but did not get any sure answer.
Question:
The client has databases on 8i, 9i & 10g. Will OWB 10gR2 support these data sources?
If not, either I will have to ask clients to upgrate 8i & 9i to oracle 10g or have them upgrade the same and also have them upgrade to OWB 11gR2.
So, please confirm support of database versions for both OWB 10gR2 & OWB 11gR2.
Thanks much!

I already had the 'Release notes' link for both 10g and 11g which you provided.
The issue is when I launch the URL, I am taken to https://support.oracle.com/CSP/ui/flash.html.
Here I've to submit and register Sun Contract Number or Oracle Support Identifier. I don't have these details.
Isn't there a simple way to get the valid information on platform-specific requirements?
I mean this should be given easily on Oracle site.
Thanks much!
