SQL PLUS In Process Flow

Hi
Im Trying to include run a sql script thru Process flow.
Am giving the connection specification as
/oracle/oracle10/bin/sqlplus schema_name/password@DB
followed by the copy command...
While executing am getting the error as
SP2-0306: Invalid option.
Usage: CONN[ECT] [logon] [AS {SYSDBA|SYSOPER}]

Can anyone help on this?

you cannot put the copy command (or any commands) after the user/pass
make a sql script with your copy command
run_copy.sql:
copy...
exit
[eof]
sqlplus user/pass@db @RUN_COPY

SQL Plus backend process

Suppose I execute a query from SQL Plus.
Now this query takes long amount of time to execute. If I close the SQL Plus session does it also terminiate the process on the Oracle server.
If not than in this case, if want to terminate the query processing what shall I do?
Thanks in advance,
Raja.

if you close sqlplus it doesn't necessarily terminate the backend process immediately.
you should use the ALTER SYSTEM KILL command (it's documented in the manuals)

ORA-12154: TNS:could not ... for imported pl-sql function in Process Flow

Hi
I included in a process flow a PL-SQL function as user defined transformation.
This PL-SQL function resides in my source database, from where I imported it in OWB.
When I am trying the run the Process Flow (from control center manager) I get the following message upon executing that function.
ORA-12154: TNS:could not resolve the connect identifier specified
When I don't include that function my process flow works. Mappings in my process flow read from the same source database as where the function is.
So I don't think it is caused by a problem with tnsnames.ora..
Thanks in advance for anybodies help.
Hans

Hi Oleg,
Thanks for your reply. Indeed I didn't create a runtime repository.
However don't like to do that to for the source DB.
I wonder if I can get around that by executing a SQLplus script instead.
I tried this but my script does never complete when it is started from the process flow. If I run it in SQLplus it runs fine and completes instantly.
My script does:
update 1 column in one record of a table.
commit;
exit;
What do you think?
Thanks,
Hans

Using .sql files in OWB Process flow

Hi,
Is it possible to use the .sql files in Process flow and schedule them?
If so,can you please let me know the procedure.
Thanks for your help and hoping to hear from you soon.
Thanks
Vinay

Process flow is not a scheduler, to schedule, you will have to run the process flow from a scheduler system, such as the one in Oracle Enterprise manager.
You can run an sql file from a batch file (or a shell file, if you are on unix), and then call the batch file from an external activity in the process flow.

Hi all,
Im trying to include a copy command in my sqlplus activity.
While execution it throwing the error
Array fetch/bind size is 15. (arraysize is 15)
Will commit when done. (copycommit is 0)
Maximum long size is 80. (long is 80)
ERROR:
ORA-12154: TNS:could not resolve the connect identifier specified
When I try to run the same copy command from the SQLPLUS, its working fine without any problem....
Im not able to figure out the reason behind that.
Suggestions Please
Thanks in Advance,

Maximum length of SQL*Plus Command?

I'm typing a long query into SQL*Plus (Linux, version 9.2.0.1... yes, I know it's ancient).
If I run this query, all works fine:
select 'update myauditing_table set test_details='''||grantee||''' where myaudit_refno=''A.FE'';' from (select case when upper(value) in ('DBO','TRUE') then (select agg_concat(grantee) from dba_tab_privs where table_name='AUD$')
else (select 'AUDIT_TRAIL is set to: '||value from dual) end as grantee from v$parameter where upper(name)='AUDIT_TRAIL' order by grantee);
'UPDATEMYAUDITING_TABLESETTEST_DETAILS='''||GRANTEE||'''WHEREMYAUDIT_REFNO=''A.F
update myauditing_table set test_details='AUDIT_TRAIL is set to: DB' where myaud
it_refno='A.FE';(In other words, is SQL that generates other SQL: if AUDIT_TRAIL is set to something interesting, tell me who has access to the AUD$ table. And it's working fine... the agg_concat function mentioned is simply Tom Kyte's stragg function under another name, as lifted word-for-word from http://www.sqlsnippets.com/en/topic-11591.html)
Now this is what happens if I take out the linebreak after the mention of AUD$, so that the command is submitted as one single line of code:
SQL> select 'update myauditing_table set test_details='''||grantee||''' where myaudit_refno=''A.FE'';' from (select case when upper(value) in ('DBO','TRUE') then (select agg_concat(grantee) from dba_tab_privs where table_name='AUD$') else (select 'AUDIT_TRAIL is set to: '||value from dual) end as grantee from v$parameter where upper(name)='AUDIT_TRAIL' order by grantee);
SP2-0734: unknown command beginning "s set to: ..." - rest of line ignored.The error message indicates that the text has been 'split' at the 'AUDIT_TRAIL is set to...' bit, so that "s set to" is being treated as a new command, which is of course syntactically invalid. There is definitely no other change in text between the two versions, apart from the removal of a carriage return before the "else" statement.
Possibly a coincidence, but the first "s" in "s set to" appears at position 258 in the entire text... close to a possible 255 or 256 character limit, perhaps?
The same problem happens whether I run the command as a script (@mysql.sql) or typed in directly into a client SQL*Plus session. Is there some inherent limit to the length of commands that SQL*Plus can process in this version? My code runs fine on 10g and 11g databases/clients, whether it's on one line or two. Anyone know of a bug in 9i regarding this? And if there's a workaround (other than the obvious one of upgrading, of course!)

As mentioned, it's choking at the 258th character, not the 240th. Also, it's a SELECT statement, not a COPY command (one relates to the database, the other is an internal SQL*Plus feature). And someone else also kindly pointed out that SQL*Plus has a command limit length (i.e., database-related commands) of 2500 characters. So I don't think that's the issue.
I can be a bit more specific about this one now, though. I've a sequence of Solaris boxes running 9.2.0.1 up, and the results are that 9.2.0.1 is affected; and it's a problem for 9.2.0.7:
SQL> select * from v$version;
BANNER

SP2-0734: unknown command beginning "s set to: ..." - rest of line ignored.But in 10.2.0.1, the problem disappears.
I am not sure, but it is perhaps related to metalink note 285913.1, since we did get some ORA-00600: internal error code, arguments: [qernsRowP], [1] errors in the alert log with a slightly different version of the above query. Changing the query obviously alters the test, though, so it may be completely unrelated.
Either way, I think it's definitely a version-specific SQL*Plus bug (though it would be nice if any other 9i owners out there could try it and report back!)
Anyway, the workaround is simply to submit the command on two separate lines, wherever possible. And of course... to upgrade.

Running process flow from sqlplus

hi everyone,
using sqlplus_exec_template.sql to run process flow.
but message keeps appearing that task is not found
I have an oracle workflow repository on another server.
what should I use as parameters?
for example location name?
thank you
owen veeneman

Hi
If you can create the Process Flow code, you can deploy and execute from SQLPLUS as follows.
1. First you have to compile the package from SQLPLUS into you target get schema. For example. SQL>@c:\package.pls.
2. Then find out the prarmeter from function main of the package. Write a simple code as follows and run it from SQL. Just substitute whatever applicable to you.
declare
V_PROCESS_CODE           VARCHAR2(10);
V_FREQUENCY_CODE     VARCHAR2(1);
V_RETCODE                NUMBER(10);
V_WB_RT                WB_RT_MAPAUDIT.WB_RT_NAME_VALUES;
begin
V_PROCESS_CODE := 'CF_SUMM;
V_FREQUENCY_CODE := 'D';
v_retcode := DM_CASHFLOW_SUMM_MAP.main(V_PROCESS_CODE, V_FREQUENCY_CODE, V_WB_RT);
dbms_output.put_line(v_retcode || ' Retcode.');
end;

Process Flow showing as busy - though Complete

Hi,
A Process Flow is stuck because one mapping had only two out connections - OK, and Error, but no 'OK with Warning' route. The Process Flow was then moved forward by using 'Expediate'. The Process Flow completed, but the Status in the Runtime Audit Browser still shows the status of the Process flow as busy.
How can this status be reset to complete?
- Jojo

Hi
Use the following scripts from ORAHOME\owb\rtp\sql to complete your process flow in OWB:
1. list_requests.sql : list the busy runnings
2. deactivate_execution.sql : deactivate your process flow
3. deactivate_execution.sql : set status to complete your process flow

OWB Process Flows

Hi,
We have lot of process flows already created. They used Transformation object in many process flows. But they didn't write any PL/SQL code for this transfomation. They wrote shell scripts. They are giving lot of problems. Here my question is can we write shell scripts for transformation? What I know is we have to write PL/SQL code for transformation objects in process flows. If anybody have PL/SQL code for process flows transformation can you share?
Thanks
SS

HI SS,
sounds like you've got some issues there.
You say they did not write PL/SQL But an OWB tranformation is PL/SQL. For example, it could be an entry point in a package, like WB_RT_CONVERSIONS.to_date(date). It could simply be a procedure, like WB_Disable_All_Constraints(p_table VARCHAR2 ). In either case, it is complied PL/SQL. And of course mappings become compiled packages in the target schema location.
I'm puzzled. If there's no PL/SQL, then what does the actual work?
Which leads me on to my next point. On the process flow pallete, there is a transformation object. You say they used many transformation objects. Then you say "they wrote shell scripts for transformation". But that's operating system code. You don't run OS code inside process flows (except in some unusual circumstances)..
What do these shell scripts do? What do they execute?
Finally, you write: "we have to write PL/SQL code for transformation objects in process flows" But surely, those are your mappings, no? And you don't write them, you generate them, no? And you wouldn't begin working on process flows until your mapping streams were complete, would you? Sorry, but I'm baffled by this comment.
I'd be obliged if you could describe your software stack in a lot more detail, please. For examples, please see this thread: 10gR2: How do you run OWB from Enterprise Manager (OEM) and Scheduler? It is a discussion on running Mappings from Process Flows from Scheduler.
I have to confess that right now, I cannot even see the shape of the stack you are trying to run, let alone conceptualize a solution, nor even grasp the meaning of your questions. More, and more detailed descriptions, would help enormously.
Cheers,
Donna

SQL*Plus Change to File While Being Run

Anyone,
Once you execute a file run in SQL*Plus does the entire file get cached by SQLPlus? (i.e. @C:\temp\myfile.sql)
If I change the file C:\temp\myfile.sql while the session is running (long runing script) will it take effect or not?
I was able to open the file make a change and save but not sure if SQLPlus will pick up my change when it gets to the point in the script where I made the change. Since it was already running.
Thanks,
Miller

That is a very bad idea to begin with.
If you made a change at the location that has not yet reached by the SQL*Plus script processing, you could see those changes (again depending upon where and how you do them).
But in most circumstances, the results will be unpredictable (most likely with error messages) since you cannot control what part of the script the SQL*Plus application is currently executing at the moment you decide to make change to the script.
For example, I started with this script:
REM --- Script start ---
prompt "Waiting ..."
begin
dbms_lock.sleep(20) ;
end ;
begin
dbms_output.put_line('This is text') ;
end ;
prompt "Finished..."
REM --- Script end ----And run this within SQL*Plus. While the PL/SQL block was waiting on the sleep call, I removed the first line of the script (the one that starts with the prompt statement) and saved it. Below is the output from this run:
SQL> @test
"Waiting ..."
PL/SQL procedure successfully completed.
SP2-0734: unknown command beginning "ut_line('T..." - rest of line ignored.
SP2-0042: unknown command "end " - rest of line ignored.
PL/SQL procedure successfully completed.
"Finished..."
SQL>I would not consider this as a successful completion of the script.
At this point, you are probably playing with probability and taking chances.

How to start/stop process flow from sql*plus?

i know how to start a process flow via sqlplus_exec_template.sql, but i cannot find any information on how to stop (and rollback) a working flow from sql*plus. Any help would be appreciated.

As an aside, I will attempt to get rid of the READY deployment and deployment unit using deactive_deployment.sql
Now, if I attempt to use deactivate_execution.sql on any of the executions with status BUSY I get:
owner_owr@ORKDEV01> @deactivate_execution
Voer waarde voor 1 in: 396136

FOUT in regel 1:

ORA-06512: at "OWNER_OWR.WB_RT_EXECUTION", line 90
ORA-06512: at line 4
owner_owr@ORKDEV01>
So all the seems to remain is to use abort_exec_request.sql
This does the job, but the script itself hangs.
I think it has to do with the l_stream_id not being checked again after the initial IF. I think it should probably be part of the loop condition as it is again reset in the do_acks inside the loop.

Reg: SQL select Query in BPEL process flow


Hi,
I am suppose to execute a SQL select query (in BPEL Process flow) as mention below in JDeveloper using Database adapter.


SELECT LENGTH, WIDTH, HEIGHT, WEIGHT,


LENGTH*WIDTH* HEIGHT AS ITEM_CUBE


FROM CUBE


WHERE ITEM= <xyz>


AND OBJECT= (SELECT CASE_NAME FROM CUBE_SUPPLIER WHERE ITEM=<xyz> AND SUPP_IND = ‘Y')
Now my question is:
1. What does this "*" refer to in the query and how can I retrieve the value of LENGTH*WIDTH* HEIGHT from the query where LENGTH,WIDTH and HEIGHT are the individual field in the table.
2.What does this " AS" refer to? If " ITEM_CUBE " is the alies for the table name "ITEM" to retrieve the value, then query shoud be evaluated as


SELECT LENGTH, WIDTH, HEIGHT, WEIGHT,


LENGTH*WIDTH* HEIGHT AS ITEM_CUBE


FROM CUBE


WHERE ITEM_CUBE.ITEM= <xyz>


AND ITEM_CUBE.OBJECT= (SELECT CASE_NAME FROM CUBE_SUPPLIER WHERE ITEM=<xyz> AND SUPP_IND = ‘Y')
Is my assumption correct?
Please suggest asap.
Thanks...




Hi
Thank for your reply!
I have a nested select query which performs on two different table as shown below:

SELECT LENGTH, WIDTH, HEIGHT, WEIGHT,


LENGTH*WIDTH* HEIGHT AS ITEM_CUBE


FROM CUBE


WHERE ITEM= <abc>


AND OBJECT= (SELECT NAME FROM SUPPLIER WHERE ITEM=<Item> AND SUPP_IND = ‘Y')
I am using DB adapter of Oracle JDeveloper in BPEL process flow, where I can able to select only one master table in DB adapter say SUPPLIER and its attributes at a time.But as per my requirment I need to select both the table (CUBE and SUPPLIER) in a single adapter to execute my query.
It can be achievable by using two DB adapter , One to execute the nested query and another to execute the main qyery considering value of nested query as a parameter.But I want to achieve it by using a single one.
Am I correct with my concept?
Please suggest how to get it ?

Process flow run success but underline mapping sql still running

We have mapping A and B in process flow. We configured Enumerated Condition (success) in mapping A to kick off mapping B after A is success. But the underline SQL in A took long time to finish therefore mapping B starts before data loading is finished in A. We need to finish mapping A loading data first (not submit the job), What could be the best approach for this condition.
Thanks,
frank

Here is the actual scenario. In my process flow I have mapping A and B, both loading data from source to target. I put Enumerated Condition (success) in mapping A so that B start only if A is done. When the job is in completed status in control center, I open job details I notice the mapping A is still running even B is finished. I guess my questions:
1. how to run mappings in order?
2. how do we really know the process flow job is completed?
Thanks for help!
