Tracing or debugging PLSQL Procedures

What kind of tracing or debugging is there available for PLSQL Procedures?
Kind regards,
Menk Slot

The OP has a venerable version of Oracle (8.0.1). Was DBMS_DEBUG available then, or was it introduced in 8i?
ANd of course DBMS_DEBUG is not a user-friendly API. It's a toolbox of components to help ISVs build a debugger. TOAD probably uses DBMS_DEBUG under the hood.
There's always the Devil's Debugger AKA DBMS_OUTPUT.PUT_LINE. Alternatively, learn to use utPLSQL to build unit tests. (This does work for pre-8i databases but make sure you read the requirements doc!)

Remote debugging plsql procedures in jdeveloper using J2EE container

I have a J2EE application which is connected to an oracle database .For debugging purposes ,can i remotely debug my plsql stored procedures when an action comes from the J2EE server . That is, can i control a call from the server by using breakpoints in my plsql stored procedures so that i can see the run time parameters to the plsql procedures and so

Yes you can. See : http://blogs.oracle.com/shay/2005/12/20#a58

How to trace the flow of plsql procedures/functions in oracle 10g

Hi All,
Recently I came to know that there is dbms_hprof PL/SQL built-in package in Oracle 11g which can be used to trace PL/SQL calls in a Hierarchical way. (acts as a PL/SQL Hierarchical Profiler).
Steps are given in -
http://www.oracle-base.com/articles/11g/PlsqlHierarchicalProfiler_11gR1.php
I would like to know whether there is a similar package in Oracle 10g because I want to trace the flow of plsql procedure and function calls in order to generate an output in a hierarchical way (for debug purposes).
The following example shows the flow of procedure calls when I execute PACKAGE_A.Proceudure_A. I want to generate that kind of an output.
Ex -
PACKAGE_A.Proceudure_A
----|_PACKAGE_A.Proceudure_B
----|------|_PACKAGE_B.Proceudure_C
----|_PACKAGE_B.Proceudure_M
----|------|_PACKAGE_A.Proceudure_B
----|-------------|_PACKAGE_C.Proceudure_C
----|_PACKAGE_Z.Proceudure_Z
If there is no similar package in *10g* I would really appreciate if someone can provide me directions to get the job done using the exsting packages and tables in Oracle 10g. Thanks in advance.

How to trace plsql procedures call stack in EBS?

Hi experts,
I'm an newbie EBS user. EBS itself provides excellent trace function, which tells us sql scripts executed and corresponding cost information.
This is quite useful for EBS performance tuning, but not for debugging. At many times, i need to know which PLSQL procedures are called and
the complete stack after i do some operation on the EBS GUI. But no solution comes to me.
Appreciate your help, thanks in advance.

The simplest way for plsql procedure to return multiple rows

Hi,
What is the simplest way for plsql procedure to return multiple rows (records). There are many combination of ways to do it but I am looking for a solution that is appropriate for plsql beginners. Many solutions use cursors, cursor variables, collections and more that kind of things that are complex on the face of it. Is it somehow possible to achieve the same with less effort?
Sample query would be: SELECT * FROM EMPLOYEES;
I want to use returned rows in APEX to compose APEX SQL(in that context plsql) report.
It is enough to use just SELECT * FROM EMPLOYEES query in APEX but I want to use plsql procedure for that.
Thank you!

Hi,
It depends :-).
With +...that is appropriate for plsql beginners...+ in mind... it still depends!
The list of techniques (ref cursors, cursor variables, collections, arrays, using explict SQL) you have referenced in your post can be made to work. but...
+Is it somehow possible to achieve the same with less effort?+ Less effort : That needs to be defined (measured). Especially in the context of pl/sql beginners (who is a beginner?) .
What is the level of "programming experience" ?
What is the level of understanding of "Relational Result set" as processible in Oracle?
If you are looking for
Process_the_set_of rows_in APEX () kind of capabilitywhich "abstracts/hides" relation database from developers when working on relation database, it may not be the best approach (at least strategically). Because I believe it already is abstracted enough.
I find REF CUROSOR most effective for such use, when the "begginer" has basic understanding of processing SQL result set .
So in a nut shell, the techniques (that you already are familiar with) are the tools available. I am not aware of any alternative tools (in pure Oracle) that will simplify / hide basics from develpers.

Business Event not triggering the PLSQL procedure.. What to do?

We need to call a plsql procedure when the GL Approval workflow has ended with approval. I thought i could do this by customizing the relevant business event.
We are on EBS 12.1.3 with RDBMS : 11.2.0.3.0.
I saw that the business event oracle.apps.gl.Journals.journal.approve was disabled currently. I enabled it and created a subscription for it. Subscription was a PLSQL procedure. Currently, for test purpose only thing it is doing is to insert a row into a table.
Business Event Subscription settings:
System: ORDEBS.SYSTEM.COM
Triggering Event
Source Type:Local
Event Filter: oracle.apps.gl.Journals.journal.approve
Execution Condition
Phase: 100
Status: Enabled
Rule Data: Message
Action Type:Custom
On Error: Stop and Rollback
Action
PL/SQL Rule Function: XX_GL_APPROVE_BE_PKG.Get_Attributes
Priority: Normal
Documentation (Not sure what value to be given for these. I went with the below values.)
Owner: Company Name
Owner Tag: Custom Schema
Using the below query i can see that the business event is getting called when the approval happens (One row added each time approval happened). But I cant see any rows in the table where it should insert a row. What could be going wrong? How can i verify that the procedure has been called?
select * from WF_DEFERRED where corrid ='APPS:oracle.apps.gl.Journals.journal.approve'
Procedure:
CREATE OR REPLACE PACKAGE BODY APPS.XX_GL_APPROVE_BE_PKG
AS
PROCEDURE Get_Attributes
IS
BEGIN
INSERT INTO xx.xx_test_table VALUES ('From BE');
COMMIT;
END Get_Attributes;
END XX_GL_APPROVE_BE_PKG;

Thanks Alejandro. Now this is working.
Changes i made:
1. Added the WFERROR workflow as a subscription to this event. So i could see that the function i am calling from the event did not have proper signature.
2. Changed the function signature to have standard parameters like:
CREATE OR REPLACE PACKAGE BODY XX_GL_APPROVE_BE_PKG
AS
function subscription(p_subscription_guid in raw,
p_event in out nocopy wf_event_t) return varchar2 is
l_result varchar2(20);
begin
insert into xxvtv.xxvtv_test_table values ('From BE');
commit;
exception
when others then
wf_core.context('XX_GL_APPROVE_BE_PKG','function subscription', p_event.getEventName(), p_event.getEventKey());
wf_event.setErrorInfo(p_event, 'ERROR');
return 'ERROR';
end subscription;
END XX_GL_APPROVE_BE_PKG;
3. Changed the owner name and owner tag both to the custom schema name (XX)

Article &DOCID. Created/Updated Successfully

Shivanand,
There's no need to post that much code when you could create a very short test case that demonstrates only the problem you are having.
You're using &NAME. notation on something that isn't a page or application item. You can't reference PL/SQL variables that way (or any other way) outside the PL/SQL scope. For your situation, you could create a page item named P55_DOCID and assign it a value in the PL/SQL process (:P55_DOCID := DOCID;), then reference &P55_DOCID. in HTML areas like the success message.

Employee NULL =Note this substitutes the word NULL if no empno is passed, and it ignores error output or anything else by only looking for lines beginning '# ' and then taking the following word. Error messages will appear in the logfile. (In this example it probably doesn't need the NULL substitution because a missing parameter would cause a syntax error which the script will handle anyway, but it could be useful in more complex examples.)
For a production script you should probably use an OS authenticated account so you don't have to deal with password strings.

Calling sql script in plsql procedure

Hello,
I have a sql script named mytest.sql and i want to execute this from a stored procedure.
following is the contents of this script
spool d:\mytestsql.txt
select * from tab;
spool off
Actually i want my sql script to run daily to export some tables data.
I can execute this script from a sql prompt but i want to run it from enterprise manager.
I am using oracle 10gR2 on windows2000 system.
Any idea about scheduling the sql script to run automatically??
How to execute this sql script from a plsql procedure??
Thanks

Hi all,
Thanks for all the replies. I have found the solution with external procedures.
Following is the complete step by step guide.
1. Create the OSCommand Java Class using the following statement:
connect as any user:
create or replace and compile java source named oscommand as
import java.io.*;
public class OSCommand{
public static String Run(String Command){
try{
Runtime.getRuntime().exec(Command);
return("0");
catch (Exception e){
System.out.println("Error running command: " + Command +
"\n" + e.getMessage());
return(e.getMessage());
2. Create the following Wrapper Function using the following statement:
CREATE or REPLACE FUNCTION OSCommand_Run(Command IN STRING)
RETURN VARCHAR2 IS
LANGUAGE JAVA
NAME 'OSCommand.Run(java.lang.String) return int';
3. connect as sys
Execute dbms_java.grant_permission( 'FKHALID','SYS:java.io.FilePermission', '<<ALL FILES>>','execute');
execute dbms_java.grant_permission( 'FKHALID','SYS:java.lang.RuntimePermission', 'writeFileDescriptor', '*' );
execute dbms_java.grant_permission( 'FKHALID','SYS:java.lang.RuntimePermission', 'readFileDescriptor', '*' );
commit;
note: here fkhalid is the oracle user.
connect as fkhalid user:
Declare
expdp_cmd Varchar2(2000);
Begin
expdp_cmd := OSCommand_Run('cmd /c sqlplus fkhalid@mtcedwt/pwd @d:\ORA_DUMPS\mydbexp.sql');
DBMS_OUTPUT.Put_Line(expdp_cmd);
End;
In Unix
Set Serverout On
Declare
x Varchar2(2000);
Begin
x := OSCommand_Run('/home/test/myoscommand.sh')
DBMS_OUTPUT.Put_Line(x);
End;
I will check the dbms_scheduler also and will let you know the results.
Thanks

Executing sql from table with in plsql procedure

I wonder if anyone can help.
I have a table that stores sql statements. They are actually a set of rules that I want to apply to my application. My intention is to execute the statement in plsql.
EG a sql statment held in the table might be:
'select count(id) from item where item_id = ' || constants_pkg.c_test_item || ' and client_id = ' || client_id_in
I am trying to call this from a plsql procedure, Ive CUT OUT some of the procedure task_rec.rule holds the statement above. The procedure is failing invalid SQL statement, I think the client_id_in may not be evaluating as the variable, passed into the procedure and constants_pkg.c_test_item not being taken from the constants pkg.
EG.
PROCEDURE create_additional_info_list(
client_id_in IN client.id%TYPE,
IS
result VARCHAR2(100);
BEGIN
EXECUTE IMMEDIATE
task_rec.rule
INTO result;
END;
If I was to do below the code would work ok. However I require the rule to come from the table.
EXECUTE IMMEDIATE
'select count(id) from item where item_id = ' || constants_pkg.c_test_item || ' and client_id = ' || client_id_in
INTO result;
Is there anyway constants_pkg.c_test_item and client_id_in can be evaluated as variables?

Not that I've tried this but, if possible, change the SQL in the table to have bind variable; e.g.,
'select count(id) from item where item_id = :1 and client_id = :2 ';
Then in the procedure
execute immediate task
INTO result
USING constants_pkg.c_test_item ,
client_id_in ;

TEXT_IO is a PL/SQL package available only in Forms (you'll want to post in the Forms forum for more information). It is not available in a stored procedure in the database (where the equivalent package is UTL_FILE).
If the Terminal Server machine and the database machine do not have access to the file system on the client machine, no application running on either machine will have access to the file. Barring exceptional setups (like the FTP server on the client machine), your applications are not going to have more access to the client machine than the operating system does.
If you map the client drives from the Terminal Server box, there is the potential for your Forms application to access those files. If you want the files to be accessible to a stored procedure in the database, you'll need to move the files somewhere the database can access them.

Problem with database adapter on plsql procedure with in/out parameters

running BPEL 10.1.3.1 and using the database adapter on a plsql procedure with in/out parameters I get errors
the plsql procedure:
create or replace procedure proc_with_clob_inout_parameter(

In BPEL 10.1.2.0 this isn't a problem. I tested it against a 10.2.0.1 and a 10.2.0.2 database and in both situations I get the error with BPEL 10.1.3.1 and no error with BPEL 10.1.2.0
it appears to be a problem in the database adapter...
anyone with the same problems and/or a solution?

Not of any use to you, but we had exactly the same problem on Friday when we applied AS 10.1.2.2 Patchset on top of BPEL 10.1.2.0.2.
The clob in our pl/sql proc wan't declared as in/out but for some reasons JDeveloper had created a clob on the Output Parameter type in the db partner link xsd. I removed this and it worked. This code had been untouched , and working fine, for months.
I'll be raising an SR today.

Help with truncating a table using plsql procedure in different schema

I have a plsql procedure in schema A that truncates a table that is given in as parameter.
create or replace procedure truncate_table(schema, table_name)
EXECUTE IMMEDIATE 'TRUNCATE TABLE '||schema||'.'||table_name;
end;
The above procedure has public execute grant.
I need to truncate a table in schema B. I have a plsql procedure in schema B that calls the truncate_table procedure and passes in the schema B table name.
Since the table is in schema B, should the delete grant on the table be given to user A or user B to truncate the table in schema B?
Thanks in advance.

Procedure created in schema A
create or replace
procedure truncate_table(l_schema varchar2, table_name varchar2) authid current_user
as
begin
EXECUTE IMMEDIATE 'TRUNCATE TABLE '||l_schema||'.'||table_name;
end;from schema B
grant delete on table1 to Schema_A
from schema A
exec truncate_table('Schema_B','Table1');
Hope this helps.
