SQL*Loader-128: unable to begin a session ORA-28000: the account is locked

Hi everyone,
I am migrating from a SQL Server 2000 DB to Oracle 10g. I followed the migration tutorial and got all the way till the data migration process. The DB data capture scripts capture the data from the SQL Server successfully but i encounter the following error while i run the oracle_ctl.bat file on the Oracle side:
SQL*Loader: Release 10.2.0.1.0 - Production on Tue Jun 9 14:08:27 2009

ORA-28000: the account is locked
I checked the account and its unlocked and the user name/password combination is the correct one. All the log files have the same error messages. The user has all the required privileges.
Any ideas why this might be happening ?
Thanks,
Amo.

Hello,
there may be several causes for this:
1) account in grace period, it can login to sqlplus but could not logn with sqlldr
2) kind of user being specified (sys as sysdba for example)
Could you please paste first lines of modified batch file and
output from select user and status in dba_users ?
Try anyway to run the unlock command
ALTER USER username ACCOUNT UNLOCK;
Thanks
Regards,
Marcello

Hi K,
Whats the default character set of you MySQL and Oracle Databases.
What version of JDBC driver are you using?
Is there any unicode characters used in your data?
Have you tried offline data move?
Thanks

Unable to locate the xml-definition for FieldName with FieldId

On a site collection of SP2013 on-premise farm, I found there are many similar log occur every minute. The logs are like:
Unable to locate the xml-definition for FieldName with FieldId '56747800-d36e-4625-abe3-b1bc74a7d5f8', exception: Microsoft.SharePoint.SPException: Catastrophic failure (Exception from HRESULT: 0x8000FFFF (E_UNEXPECTED)) ---> System.Runtime.InteropServices.COMException:

at Microsoft.SharePoint.Library.SPRequest.GetGlobalContentTypeXml(String bstrUrl, Int32 type, UInt32 lcid, Object varIdBytes)
The log level is medium. The same set of log occur every minute with same set of 60 different GUIDs. All related function on the site is working as expected. By using PowerShell to loop thru the site collections I confirmed there is no field using these
GUID. Also I have checked the content database and configuration database, also no luck to finding these GUIDs.
These logs should be related with the search service since the Authentication Authorization log mentioned it is the "Crawler" account in action. However I have no idea why the crawler keep looking for these GUID. I have reset the farm service multiple
times already.
The farm was upgraded from SP2010 and it seems no such logs before upgrade.
Any advice? Thank you.

Hi Mark,
From your description, this issue ocurred after you upgraded SharePoint 2010 to SharePoint 2013. Is it right?
Whether you have some solutions in SharePoint 2010.
If yes, please make sure you deploy the solution in SharePoint 2013 well after you upgraded to SharePoint 2013.

Unable to locate the xml-definition for FieldName with FieldId '1f8a351c-965d-4927-9c22-8772b7089f55' when trying to activate feature with references a custom field type

I´ve a solution which contains a custom field type (found somewhere on the net, the custom field type maps a choice field to managed metadata). There is a second solution which contains site column and site content type definitions using the custom field
type definition from field type solution.
On my developement environment, there is no problem with this two solutions. When field type solution is deployed, i can deploy the content type solution and activate the feature and everything is fine.
However if i give the two solutions to our adminstrator to deploy them into our staging environment, content type feature activation fails. Deploying the field type solution makes no problems. The field type is then available and i can manually creates
columns with this new field type. However activating the content type solution fails with the error shown in the title of this message. The FieldID from the message is not part of my content type project. Searching the net doens´t show any results for that
id. So i think it´s not some of the standard field id´s from sharepoint.
Can anyone help?

Setting values for non-displayed fields on a Tabular Form

I'm having a problem setting non-displayed fields on the same table as displayed fields like last_update_date, last_updated_by, id's and other fields when creating new records or updating existing records in a Tabular form.
What is the best and easiest way to set these values without using database triggers?

Hi Jes,
I'm a little reluctant to use database triggers as I used this product a couple of years ago and I'm fairly sure I handled this problem in HTML DB without the use of triggers. I am therefore I'm getting a touch frustrated that I can't remember how to do it now !!
Do you know of any way of setting values for non-displayed fields on a Tabular Form without using database triggers?
Also, you seem to be suggesting that database triggers is the best way to do this?
Thanks

SQL*Loader sqlldr removes zeros from character field

Hello,
I am using SQL*Loader to load an Oracle table, and am having a problem. One of the fields is defined as VARCHAR2 and contains comments entered by a user. There may be numbers or dollar amounts included in this text. When I execute the sqlldr script below, the result is that all of the zeros on the text field disappear. There is a translate function invoked for this field (bolded statement) in an attempt to remove imbedded newlines from the text. Wherever there was a zero in the original text, it ends up being removed after I run this script. Can anyone suggest why this is occurring, and how to prevent it? Can it be related to the translate function?
Thanks for your help!

--------------------------------------------

Never mind, found my mistake. In the TRANSLATE function, I had assumed that the 0x0A would be interpreted as a single hex value. Instead, it is interpreted literally as the character '0', the character 'x', the character 'A', etc. The result is that the transformed text had no '0', 'x', or 'A' characters, which is exactly what I inadvertently told it to do. I changed it to the following, which works better ;-)
RST_EXTENDED_TXT "SUBSTR(TRANSLATE(:RST_EXTENDED_TXT, '#'||CHR(10), '#'), 1, 250)"

UTF8 character set conversion for chinese Language

Hi friends,
Would like to some basic explanation on UTF8 feature,what does it help while converting the data from chinese language.
Would like to know what all characters this UTF8 will not support while converting from chinese language.
Thanks & Regards
Ramya Nomula

Not exactly sure what you are looking for, but on MetaLink, there are numerous detailed papers on NLS character sets, conversions, etc.
Bottom line is that for traditional Chinese characters (since they are more complicated), they require 4 bytes to store the characters (such as UTF-8, and AL32UTF8). Some mid-eastern characters sets also fall in this category.
Do a google search on "utf8 al32utf8 difference", and you will get some good explanations.
e.g., http://decipherinfosys.wordpress.com/2007/01/28/difference-between-utf8-and-al32utf8-character-sets-in-oracle/
Recently, one of our clients had a question on the differences between these two character sets since they were in the process of making their application global. In an upcoming whitepaper, we will discuss in detail what it takes (from a RDBMS perspective) to address localization and globalization issues. As far as these two character sets go in Oracle, the only difference between AL32UTF8 and UTF8 character sets is that AL32UTF8 stores characters beyond U+FFFF as four bytes (exactly as Unicode defines UTF-8). Oracle’s “UTF8” stores these characters as a sequence of two UTF-16 surrogate characters encoded using UTF-8 (or six bytes per character). Besides this storage difference, another difference is better support for supplementary characters in AL32UTF8 character set.
You may also consider posting your question on the Globalization Suport forum which pertains more to these types of questions.
