Starting conditions are invalid. Number of WF started: 0

Hi experts,
I noticed very strange situation in case of SC autoapproval WF (SRM 5.0 Extended Classic). When I activate standard WF indicating my starting conditions everything is OK. But when I made a copy of that standard WF SC autoapproval and indicated the same starting condition I can shop because system gives an error that no WF found for SC. In application monitor there is an error Starting conditions are invalid. Number of WF started: 0. How this is possible? The starting conditions are the same, WF are also the same - one of them is only a copy of another....
Please give me some advise if you have any ideas...
Regards,
RafaD

Hi,
please check if the starting conditions of the original Workflow are still active. In SRM, the starting conditions must not overlap, so take care that the system found exactly one workflow. Easiest way to check this is by de-activating the original starting conditions.
regards
Chris

Call your carrier and see what they suggest.

Error Invalid Number, re-send using a 10 digit number when texting a certain number, but when I put the area code in it still sends to the 7 digit number

About a month ago I added a friends number without the area code. I was in an area that I couldn't send texts from. Two days ago he texted me and I tried to reply, but when I did I got the error message "Error Invalid Number. Please re-send using a valid 10 digit mobile number or valid short code."
So, I put in the area code in front of the number and when I sent it, the phone dropped the area code and just sent it to the 7 digit number. I went ahead and deleted all of his contact information and text messages to him and re-entered the with the area code and saved him as a new contact. I tried to text the number and it still sent it to only the 7 digit number!!!
I have tried everything there is to try, but there seems to be a part of the phone that is remembering this number even after I've deleted it and everything associated with it.
Does anybody have a solution for this?? I have called Apple and they told me they have never heard of this problem before.

The fix for this problem is easy and is set out here: http://edctips.blogspot.com/2014/09/fixing-iphone-texting-problem.html

S30 Machine type and Serial Number are INVALID

Hello, I am wondering if I can get some help here.A while back I had a motherboard replaced by lenovo service. The machine arrived turned on once and then it died.Once the tech left the machine was used a handful of times and then stored. I a now working on it and I noticed this screen, which appreared after the mobo replacements. Iam wondering if anyone knows how to fix this issue. What is Error 00CE really saying? Thanks

It's really saying what shows on the screen there....the serial number and machine type are invalid. My guess is the tech that replaced your board did not update the MTM/SN fields when he flashed BIOS on the new board (if he flashed BIOS at all), and those fields are still listing the defaults that are populated by the board manufacturer.
Run the latest DOS BIOS flash package (I think current BIOS is 45 maybe for the A0 branch), and when prompted, enter the correct information from your system for the machine type and serial number. That should alleviate the POST error you're seeing.

Case When Statement and ORA:01722 Invalid number error

Hi folks, I have posted this under another heading as well under E-business suite so apologies if some you have already seen it but I would really appreciate some help on this one. Any suggestions are most welcome.
We are trying to put together a calculation that returns the number of days absent an individual has had in a given time period. We need to cater for those absences that started before the period and are closed during it, absence that start during the period and end after it, and those that open and close within it.
The period is always a rolling 6 months from sysdate.
This is the calc we have come up with so far which works for some people but we get the invalid number error if the absence includes a half day - so 0.5, 1.5,etc.
This is probably over complicated but we are not techie at all so are learning as we go!
We are using the HRMS - Administration - Oracle Human Resources (Core) business area in 10G and the Absence Attendance and Person folders.

Hi,
It could be that this is because you are using SYSDATE which contains the time as a fraction rather than TRUNC(SYSDATE) which just contains the current time. It could be that your working_dates_between raises this error.
However, your formula is far more complicated than it needs to be.
Firstly, you want to look at the date window ADD_MONTHS(TRUNC(SYSDATE), -6) to TRUNC(SYSDATE). Then you want to look at the portion of the absence that falls in the date window. This is GREATEST(Absence Attendance.Actual Start Date, ADD_MONTHS(TRUNC(SYSDATE), -6)) to LEAST(NVL(Absence Attendance."Actual End Date",TRUNC(SYSDATE)), TRUNC(SYSDATE)). You may need to add 1 to the absence end date because this is the last day of their absence rather than the date they return. It depends how you calculate the days between the start and end
date of the absence. You can create calculations for the start and end date of the absences within the 6 months time window. Create calculation AbsenceStart as
GREATEST(Absence Attendance.Actual Start Date, ADD_MONTHS(TRUNC(SYSDATE), -6))
and AbsenceEnd as
LEAST(NVL(Absence Attendance."Actual End Date",TRUNC(SYSDATE)), TRUNC(SYSDATE))
Then you need to only pick up absence that a part of the absence in your 6 month date window. You can use a condition in the workbook or a condition in a case statement to do this. You then need to calculate the difference between these dates and SUM all the values.
SUM(CASE WHEN AbsenceEnd >= AbsenceStart THEN WORKING_DAYS_BETWEEN(AbsenceStart, AbsenceEnd) END)
That's it. Not so complicated after all.

Error Message - ORA-01722 Invalid Number

Hello:
I have the following situation. When I create an organization, a record is inserted into the following table, AGREEMENTS, and populates four fields.
I have an update form which selects the organization from the AGREEMENTS table so the user can populate the rest of the table. In addition, on this form, there is a drop-down box which allows the user to select the name of a legal document along with the version of the document in which the user needs to select. This select list is created via an LOV joining three tables. The item name for this select list is :P6_DOCUMENT.
The code for the LOV is:
SELECT S.DOC_NAME||' - '|| O.VERSION_NO AS DOC, O.ORG_DOC_CURR_KEY
FROM SUPPORTING_DOCS S,
     ORG_DOC_CURR_VER O,
     AGREEMENTS H
WHERE
    S.DOC_TYPE = 'HISA'
AND S.SUPPORTING_DOC_KEY = O.SUPPORTING_DOC_KEY
AND H.ORG_KEY_LE = O.ORG_KEY
AND O.ORG_KEY=:P6_ORG_KEY_LEWhen the user completes the form, the SUBMIT process is a PL/SQL block consisting of an UPDATE statement to update the AGREEMENTS table based on the selected organization and an INSERT statement to insert a record into the AGREEMENTS_DOC table to store the value stored in :P7_DOCUMENT.
Ok, now here is where my problem starts.
When I first bring up the form and I select the organization I want to update, I click the Search button to find the organization and I receive the following error message: ORA-01722 Invalid Number.
At this point all I'm doing is a basic search. There is no insert/update or anything going on. I'm not understanding why I would be receiving this error message.
The search is based on the database column ORG_KEY_LE whose datatype is NUMBER.
In my application, the item assigned to ORG_KEY_LE is P6_ORG_KEY_LE.
I have a PL/SQL block process created (On Load-Before Header) in the Page Rendering area of my page definition. The PL/SQL code that is written is:
BEGIN
IF :P6_SEARCH_ORG != '0' THEN
:P6_ORG_KEY_LE := :P6_SEARCH_ORG;
END IF;
END;I then have an Item created, :P6_SEARCH_ORG, which is a Select List. In the LOV portion of the page for this item, I have the following:
select ORG_KEY_LE display_value, ORG_KEY_LE return_value
from AGREEMENTS
order by 1The reason for using this table is because this table contains the newly created organization which needs to be updated with the remaining columns of data.
I then have a Search button in the Button area which has the following settings:
Button Position: Region Template Position #CHANGE#.
Condition Type: Value of Item in Express 1 is NULL.
Expression 1: :P6_ORG_KEY_LE.
To troubleshoot this problem, I created two pages, one page to do the UPDATE and the second page to do the INSERT.
The SEARCH functionality in both pages are identical.
When I run my UPDATE page, which only involves updating the missing fields, the process works. I have my search box, I'm able to search for the organization, make my updates, and I'm good.
When I run my INSERT page, which involves inserting the record with the assigned document, I receive the error message after I click the SEARCH button. In order to INSERT the record into this table, I first need to SELECT the organization that was UPDATED in the AGREEMENTS table (using the UPDATE page described in above paragraph). When I select the organization, the user can then assign the appropriate legal document to the organization and insert the record into the AGREEMENTS_DOC table.
Can someone help me with this error message? I'm not sure why I am able to perform my SEARCH on a page with the UPDATE statement, not able to perform the SEARCH on the page with my INSERT statement, and not be able to perform the SEARCH on the page that combines the UPDATE and INSERT statements.
I did some more troubleshooting and I do believe my SUBMIT process which contains the INSERT statement is the issue. I created a fourth page which doesn't have a SUBMIT process. I brought up the form, searched for my organization and the information for that organization appeared. The problem is definately with my UPDATE/INSERT process.
The PL/SQL block for the Submit process is the following:
BEGIN
update
    MDD.HISA_AGREEMENTS
     set
       LAST_UPDATED_BY=V('APP_USER'),
       APPROVER_SALUTATION=:P6_APPROVER_SALUTATION,
       APPROVER_FIRST_NAME=:P6_APPROVER_FIRST_NAME,
       APPROVER_MIDDLE_INITIAL=:P6_APPROVER_MIDDLE_INITIAL,
       APPROVER_LAST_NAME=:P6_APPROVER_LAST_NAME,
       APPROVER_NAME_SUFFIX=:P6_APPROVER_NAME_SUFFIX,
       APPROVER_EMAIL_ADDR=:P6_APPROVER_EMAIL_ADDR,
       SPONSOR_EMAIL_ADDR=:P6_SPONSOR_EMAIL_ADDR,
       APPROVER_TITLE=:P6_APPROVER_TITLE
where
      ORG_KEY_LE=:P6_ORG_KEY_LE
INSERT INTO
    HISA_AGREEMENT_DOCS
      (HISA_AGREEMENT_DOC_KEY,
       ORG_KEY_LE,
       APPLICATION_KEY,
       STATUS,
       STATUS_DATE,
       CREATED_BY,
       ORG_DOC_CURR_KEY)
VALUES
      (HISA_AGREEMENT_DOC_KEY_SEQ.NEXTVAL,
       :P6_ORG_KEY_LE,
       :P6_APPLICATION_KEY,
       'C',
       SYSDATE,
       V('APP_USER'),
       :P6_DOCUMENT)
END;There is something wrong with the above statement and I do not understand what it could be. Can someone help?
Thanks for the help.

Hi,
I believe you are on to something.
The select list for item :P6_DOCUMENT appears when I first bring up the form. When I select my organization and receive the error message, I clicked on the Session in the Developer's bar. The value in item/field :P6_DOCUMENT shows %null%.
This is the path in which my user would like to accomplish her task:
1. Select an organization
2. Display the information for that organization from the AGREEMENTS table
3. Enter the data for the remaining fields in the AGREEMENTS table
4. Select the document (:P6_DOCUMENT) from the drop-down.
5. Click Submit
6. Update the AGREEMENTS table with data entered in #3.
7. Insert a record into the AGREEMENTS_DOC table with the selection from #4.
Somehow I need the :P6_DOCUMENT field not to show the %null% during the SEARCH functionality. I think that is causing the problem.
How do I fix this?

User Accounts and ORA-01722: invalid number error

Hello,
I have been using Express for a month or so now but have very limited knowledge of how it works.
My Problem:
I have a listing screen for user records which creates records in table QAS_USERS.
When I add a record it saves the data OK and put the record in the list.
When I click on the record in the list it takes me to the edit screen and I can change
the details and it works OK and all the changes get saved to the database.
On the data entry screen I have a list of the User Groups so I can select what group
the user will be in, usual details in username, fullname, email address, password etc..
I then added a routine to create a USER in the APEX Manage USERs.
It creates the record in my table QAS_USERS and it creates a APEX User Account with
the correct details and the record is displayed in the list.
So far so good.
Now the errors start:
1. When I look at the User Account in Administration -> Manage Application Express Users
most of the details have been added but the User Group does not get allocated.
2. The record I created in QAS_USERS appears in the list on my listing screen but when
I click on the Edit Icon on the left of the list I get the following error appear
when the screen changes to the edit screen:
ORA-01722: invalid number

If any one has any ideas I would be very grateful.

Hi,
It could be that this is because you are using SYSDATE which contains the time as a fraction rather than TRUNC(SYSDATE) which just contains the current time. It could be that your working_dates_between raises this error.
However, your formula is far more complicated than it needs to be.
Firstly, you want to look at the date window ADD_MONTHS(TRUNC(SYSDATE), -6) to TRUNC(SYSDATE). Then you want to look at the portion of the absence that falls in the date window. This is GREATEST(Absence Attendance.Actual Start Date, ADD_MONTHS(TRUNC(SYSDATE), -6)) to LEAST(NVL(Absence Attendance."Actual End Date",TRUNC(SYSDATE)), TRUNC(SYSDATE)). You may need to add 1 to the absence end date because this is the last day of their absence rather than the date they return. It depends how you calculate the days between the start and end
date of the absence. You can create calculations for the start and end date of the absences within the 6 months time window. Create calculation AbsenceStart as
GREATEST(Absence Attendance.Actual Start Date, ADD_MONTHS(TRUNC(SYSDATE), -6))
and AbsenceEnd as
LEAST(NVL(Absence Attendance."Actual End Date",TRUNC(SYSDATE)), TRUNC(SYSDATE))
Then you need to only pick up absence that a part of the absence in your 6 month date window. You can use a condition in the workbook or a condition in a case statement to do this. You then need to calculate the difference between these dates and SUM all the values.
SUM(CASE WHEN AbsenceEnd >= AbsenceStart THEN WORKING_DAYS_BETWEEN(AbsenceStart, AbsenceEnd) END)
That's it. Not so complicated after all.

Interactive Report and the mysterious invalid number

Hello,
I have an application that is ready, or so I thought, to be sent to a client to update an existing application. One page in the application has an interactive report that is based on a table in the parsing schema that is joined to the apex_collections view. The report works without issue in my dev environment as well as in the client's test environment. But when a colleague tested the updated app in a different test environment, the report errors out with an ORA-01722: invalid number error.
Needless to say I'm now hesitant about the update to production because I can't find the cause of the issue on my colleague's machine and would hate for this to happen in production. In trying to find the issue in on my colleague's machine, I first tried removing all of the columns (save the id) from the report to see if it was being generated there, no change. Then I started removing the joins and when the join to the apex_collections view was removed the error disappeared. The join was written as:
SELECT *
FROM table tbl
JOIN apex_collections col
   ON tbl.id = col.c001
WHERE col.collection_name = 'MY_COLLECTION';I know that the underlying tables for the apex_collections view store columns c001 .. c050 as VARCHAR2(4000) so I was relying on implicit data conversion to apply the join. Perhaps this is where the error is coming from but that would mean that "extra" rows are being returned as all of the c001 values returned in the session (from dev toolbar) are also valid numbers. As I said before, the problem is only occurring in 1 of 3 apex instances so I tested it in a 4th, and again, there was NO problem. I then realized that my query is potentially dangerous if c001 is used to hold something other than a number in the current session, which is NOT the case in any of the instances, but I tried updating the report to the following to see if it would help:
SELECT *
FROM table tbl
JOIN (
   SELECT TO_NUMBER(c001) AS c001
   FROM apex_collections col
   WHERE collection_name = 'MY_COLLECTION'
) apex_col
   ON apex_col.c001 = tbl.idThat query worked as expected in the dev environment and will be used as the query going forward. However, it failed to fix the problem in the "problem" instance. This seems to be a local issue but I'd like to know for sure. All of the systems are configured as follows:
1. Dev - Oracle 10g R2 XE - ApEx 3.1.2 - Works
2. Test1 - Oracle 10g R2 EE - ApEx 3.1.2 - Works
3. Test2 (colleague) - Oracle 10g R2 XE - ApEx 3.1.2 - Fails
4. Test3 (my localhost) - Oracle 10g R2 XE - ApEx 3.1.2 - Works
5. Prod - Oracle 10g R2 EE - ApEx 3.1.2 - ???
Any ideas?

Dan,
I'm always suspicious of problems that disappear without knowing why - usually they reappear the very moment that an end-user starts using the app :D
You didn't show how you are populating the collection in your original posting, so I'm not clear on exactly what the data would show. What I was thinking was, knowing that collections are all varchar2's, that something like TO_CHAR() had been used in the SQL statement that created the collection.
I don't think that trimming the data would have any effect. If the problem does happen again, I would suggest creating a report based on the collection (basically doing a data dump onto a page) and then see exactly what is in there. If any number contains a comma (or other characters such as currency symbols), then you have to use a number format string to get back to the actual raw number.

This error occurs when you try to create a materialized view , but if you run the sql the results are perfectly fine. Well it happend to me also and to fix this I made sure all the coulmns have the same data type which are used in joins or in where clause.
use
where
to_number(col1)=to_number(col2) and to_number(col3)=to_number(col4)
hope this helps..

Another ORA-01722: invalid number Error

Hello All,
I have 2 Validations on 1 Item, Not Null and Not Exists, very standard.
select fk_session_name_id
from hrt_session
where fk_session_name_id = :p9_fk_session_name_id
and fk_class_id = :p9_fk_class_id;My Item needs to be a Select List that returns the ID of FK_SESSION_NAME_ID.
select distinct SESSION_NAME display_value, PK_SESSION_NAME_ID return_value
from HRT_SESSION_NAME
order by 1My Form Page throws the ORA-01722 in invalid number Error only when I make the Item a Select List. If Item is a
Text Field and ID value entered and Create is clicked the data is saved but not when its a Select List. I have read alot
of threads that talk about converting this Item to_number but I have not been successful in doing this. Once the Item is
a Select List the Not Exists validation works but the Not Null Validation populates the Error Message. Can anyone
assist me with this please? Thanks
My Data Type is INTEGER for FK_SESSION_NAME_ID and SESSION_NAME is VARCHAR2.
SESSION_NAME data....
SESSION 1
SESSION 2
PMAS 1
PMAS 2
BASIC WORD 2003.....

Hey Jari,
The PK_SESSION_NAME_ID in the select statement is the value that is going to be returned. FK_SESSION_NAME_ID is the Foreign Key value that will get the value from the Primary Key PK_SESSION_NAME_ID.
Yes, I do have an account that you can log into, thanks for assistance Jari.
Once you log in Select link 'Hrt_Class' which will populate Page 2. Region 'Cascading LOVs has 4 Items. Class Meridiem, Class Name, Class End Date and Class Location. Select these values then click 'Search'. Once the values are populated click the red button at the bottom 'Add Session Info'. This will populate Page 9 which will allow you to test the Create button. You should not be able to add any Session Name that exists in the Report below and you should not be able to Create a Null FK_SESSION_NAME_ID. Let me know if this is clear, thanks again.
The PK_SESSION_ID cannot be Null so just start with values 60116 on up to avoid that error message. I do not have any sequences or triggers created since this is just a testing app.

ORA-01722: invalid number error coming in Oracle 10g.

Hi,
We are getting the error "ORA-01722: invalid number" while opening a cursor using CURSOR FOR LOOP.
This error has started coming only after we have migrated to Oracle 10g from Oracle 9i. Earlier the same code used to work properly. And also on Oracle 10g, its not happening every time. Sometimes it gives error while sometimes it works.
Does anybody know about any such bug in Oracle 10g. Our cursor is a parametrized cursor accepting a VARCHAR2 parameter and the value we are passing to it is also character.
Our database is Oracle 10g Enterprise Edition Release 10.2.0.3.0 - 64bit Production and is running on UNIX server.

And also on Oracle 10g, its not happening every time. Sometimes it gives error while sometimes it works. This is typically due to
a) environment settings that differ from session to session
b) or more often, data
The actual error means that Oracle expects a number and is unable to obtain a number from the input (data or SQL or bind variables) supplied. I agree with William that it looks a lot like an implicit TO_NUMBER() conversion failing.
Why not add a debug exception handler to the code? When that exception occurs, dump the PL/SQL call stack and values of all variables and parameters to a debug/logging table (using an autonomous transaction).

Classic ASP - "ORA-01722: invalid number" using OraOLEDB.Oracle driver

I am working on doing some maintenance updates to a Classic ASP website, and I need to be able to run an insert/update statement for putting values into a lookup table. I am currently running into an "ORA-01722: invalid number" error when trying to use ADO and bind variables for my insert statement.
Below is an example of a table that I am having problems with:
CREATE TABLE "MATMGR"."TEST_SWING_TABLE"
(     "TABLE1_ID" NUMBER(4,0) NOT NULL ENABLE,
     "TABLE2_ID" NUMBER(4,0) NOT NULL ENABLE,
     CONSTRAINT "TEST_SWING_TABLE_PK" PRIMARY KEY ("TABLE1_ID", "TABLE2_ID")
USING INDEX PCTFREE 10 INITRANS 2 MAXTRANS 255
STORAGE(INITIAL 65536 NEXT 1048576 MINEXTENTS 1 MAXEXTENTS 2147483645
PCTINCREASE 0 FREELISTS 1 FREELIST GROUPS 1 BUFFER_POOL DEFAULT)
TABLESPACE "USERS" ENABLE
) PCTFREE 10 PCTUSED 40 INITRANS 1 MAXTRANS 255 NOCOMPRESS LOGGING
STORAGE(INITIAL 65536 NEXT 1048576 MINEXTENTS 1 MAXEXTENTS 2147483645
PCTINCREASE 0 FREELISTS 1 FREELIST GROUPS 1 BUFFER_POOL DEFAULT)
TABLESPACE "USERS" ;
Here is some snippet code of the basic functionality I am trying to get to work:
''START CODE''
Dim connDb, cmdDoseInsert
Set connDb = Server.CreateObject("ADODB.Connection")
connDb.CursorLocation = adUseClient ' Setup to return RecordSet
connDb.ConnectionString = "Provider=OraOLEDB.Oracle;Data Source={host};User ID={user id};Password={password}"
connDb.Open()
Set cmdDoseInsert = Server.CreateObject("ADODB.command")
Set cmdDoseInsert.ActiveConnection = connDb
cmdDoseInsert.CommandType = adCmdText
cmdDoseInsert.NamedParameters = true ' Set the command object to use named parameters
cmdDoseInsert.Prepared = true
cmdDoseInsert.CommandTimeout = 0
cmdDoseInsert.CommandText = "INSERT INTO TEST_SWING_TABLE (TABLE1_ID, TABLE2_ID) VALUES (:P_TABLE1_ID, :P_TABLE2_ID)"
cmdDoseInsert.Prepared = true
cmdDoseInsert.Parameters.Append cmdDoseInsert.CreateParameter("P_TABLE1_ID", adNumeric, adParamInput)
cmdDoseInsert.Parameters.Append cmdDoseInsert.CreateParameter("P_TABLE2_ID", adNumeric, adParamInput)
'... START: While Looping
     cmdDoseInsert.Parameters(0).Value = {some numeric value}
     cmdDoseInsert.Parameters(1).Value = {some numeric value}
     cmdDoseInsert.Execute
'... END: Looping
''END CODE''
What I have been able to find out so far is that there is some type of issue with numeric values getting translated right when sending two and retrieving from Oracle in ASP. So, does anyone have any thoughts on how to resolve this as I would like to use parameterized SQL to improve application performance?
I am connecting to a developmental server running Oracle 9.2

Ok, in my slightly larger example I found out that for what ever reason my named parameters are not being enforced, and so I had to make sure that the parameters were in the same order as they appeared in the SQL. To be on the save side, I did this when they were added as well as when I was assigning values to them.
Can anyone tell me if this is an Oracle issue or a ASP issue?

TO_NUMBER and ORA-01722 invalid number pls delete

I cannot see where to delete a post I made. I found out my problem. It was in my NLS settings. Decimals were set to be commas instead of periods.
please disregard this post, and delete if you are a moderator
I recently tried to bring in lat/long coordinates from a VARCHAR2 field (and even as a flat file) into a NUMBER field with a setup of NUMBER(20,13) to ensure I'd capture all of the signifigant digits.
I even ran this through a procedure to check if the data is a number first, and update only. I've found however that I keep getting the ORA-01722 invalid number error.
So I started testing out some points, and came across this:
select to_number('-79.662965387') from dual;
this query results in the invalid number error. I don't want to have to load these as an SDO GEOMETRY object, has anyone encountered this scenario before?
Or is my choice of 13 decimal places too high for Oracle?

I just ran that code in my database (10g) and it returned this
select to_number('-79.662965387') from dual;
TO_NUMBER('-79.662965387')
-79.662965

But....If your Oracle version is 10g+, you can define the file as external table and use the "RECORDS DELIMITED BY '#'" parameter.
:p

Starting conditions are invalid. Number of WF started: 0
