Trailing blanks in OCI calls

Hi ,
My application does trimming of variables for spaces before doing oci call .
Is this mandatorily required . Does trailing blanks create issues for OCI call .
Regards
Tanmay

No it is not mandatory. As long as your application is aware of how many characters (or bytes) it is sending/receiving you should not see any problems.
Thanks,

OCI call starcture for Purchase requisitions trans NME51N

Hi,
I am looking for any documentation on the OCI call structure ('Web service') for PO/Requisitions.
This it allow accessing external catalog via transaction NME51N using ERP 2005 PR/PO. The only documentation I have seen is related to the SRM EBP and OCI, which works fine for our SRM side.
But for integration with Purchasing via OCI we notice that the HOOK-URL value is NULL, so we do not have the return URL to the calling application upon the completing the catalog shopping,
Kevin

Hi Kevin,
The only OCI documentation I know is about OCI version 4.0.
You are right that only SRM customizing is detailed.
For the return URL in parameter HOOK_URL, its content should be populated by the calling application (SRM, MM or PM).
That's why we must leave it blank in SRM catalog calling structure.
But in MM or PM, I don't know where it is handled.

Parameters - trailing blank

Hi,
There exists a report that has been used for awhile. Someone called to say that she is getting an empty report when requesting a specific project.
I will not summarize all the checking that I did, but suffice it to say that through all my checking I found that if I run the report in Hebrew and not in English, the report gives the correct data.
The parameter of the project includes the code and the description. It seems to me that both the parameter and the field really come from the same place and, therefore, the condition should be valid. However, using the LENGTHB function, there is a difference of one character.
If when I choose the project from the list of values I add a blank at the end of the description, the report runs fine.
I find it hard to believe, but could it be that PLUS automatically trims trailing blanks?
Thanks.
Leah

Hi,
What is the datatype of the parameter ? is it varchar or char ?
the varchar type always trims the trailing blanks,
If you do like to use the trailing blanks then you need to use the char type but you will need to always enter a fixed number of characters.
And yes there is a difference between the Hebrew and the English characters lenght (8 vs 16)
Try to concatenate the space at the end of the parameter using calculation and then use it in the condition instead of using the parameter directly.

OCI CALLS : Oracle 8.1.5 to Oracle 8.1.6

Hi
I am working on messaging product which was compiled and linked with Oracle 8.1.5. It was working on HPUX 11.0 machine. That product is a CORBA product which uses ORCALE to store message database. This product uses OCI calls to access ORACLE.
But I am having a new task of running that product on oracle 8.1.6 version. When I ran old bineries(compiled and built with oracle 8.1.5 libs) with oracle 8.1.6 product, I am getting following runtime errors. DBINIT is a executable.
$PROMPT>DBINIT -v

Whether I need to compile and build whole product with oracle 8.1.6.
In my product I am using OCI calls, so whether I need to change those calls.

Problem with OCI call and how to install and use 'DEBUG_EXTPROC' on Linux

Hi,
Can any one let me know how I can install and use this debug_extproc package. I have installed oracle XE server on Linux machine(32-bit).
When I use : DEBUG_EXTPROC.STARTUP_EXTPROC_AGENT' ... i get an error saying that : it is not declared.
I tried looking in all the directories but did not find the dbgextp.sql(which is required in order to install that package).And tried searching on google but could not get any relevant information.
Also I am newbie to OCI call interface and also to C programming too: I have coded a external procedure or custom user aggregate in C. But since I was using C++ : 'set' STL. I have compiled my program using g++ instead of gcc and I have correspondingly modified the make file in public/demo directory.
So, is it fine to do it that way: using OCI (instead of OCCI(C++)) but again compiling the pgm as a regular C++ using g++ instead of gcc.(But rest of the pgm including printf statements : everything is in C).
Also I have created the library from my : custagg.so library:
SQL> create or replace library custagg is '$ORACLE_HOME/lib/custagg.so'
But my aggregate function implemented as external C function using OCI is either not recognised or else : if recognized then there is some error because of which i am getting the following errors : ORA-06522
SQL> select MinDistance(TT) from egg1;
select MinDistance(TT) from egg1
ERROR at line 1:
ORA-06520: PL/SQL: Error loading external library
ORA-06522: /usr/lib/oracle/xe/app/oracle/product/10.2.0/server/lib/custagg.so:
cannot dynamically load executable
Please kindly answers my queries and trying to resolve this for almost 4 days now and could not find any clue on how to get this done.
Thanks,

Problem download data with trailing blanks using gui_download

Hi All,
      I am using SAP 4.6C. I have requirement to download data with trailing
blanks.But i am not succeeded fully to acheive my requirement.I want to
download data to be in the below format.
Eg: 'T000000070600000004000000003593593                                               '
I want to download data with different blanks of each record.
For example in 1 line 18, 2nd line 25, 3rd line 22.
I already used Hexa notation value '09'. But it is showing only 7 at once. I have
added 3 times this field but it is showing 21. How i can i add extra space?
I tried to move ' ' spaces also. It does't wotk. I have tried concatenate with ' ' and
separared by ' ' also but no use.
I have passed all possible parameters to GUI_DOWNLOAD FM.
say write_field_separator         = ' '
write_lf    = 'X'
trunc_trailing_blanks    = ' '
trunc_trailing_blanks_eol     = ' '
Could please tell me some one had faced same problem earlier. It is very urgent.
Is there is any class attribute in SAP 4.6C?
( like cl_abap_char_utilities in 4.7 )
Thanks in Advance.
Basha

Try :
CONCATENATE XXXX space RESPECTING BLANKS.
Of course you must retain these parameters :
trunc_trailing_blanks = space
trunc_trailing_blanks_eol = space
Hope this helps

OCI calls failing for Oracle 11g 11.1.0.7 (64 bit)

Hi,
I have a 32bit app which we build and compile in a 32 bit OS, we then deploy this in a 64 bit Windows 2008 R1 machine which has a 11g 64 bit DB;
when the code make the OCI calls the app terminates.On debugging we found out that its failing to make OCI calls on the connect() method of a .cpp file.
This connect code is a custom wrapper class created for OCI which only accepts a complete SQL statement mainly used for looking after rollback segments, etc.
The code runs perfectly fine when we internally call the ORACMD of sqlplus and directly execute the sql from a script.
It only fails when our code tries to connect to the DB and make OCI calls.
I have also installed a 32 bit Oracle 11g Client 11.1.0.7 since I am using a 32 bit app.
Is there any compatibility issues between these 2 versions or the dll's?
Why is it failing while making OCI calls and is there any resolution?
My machine and setup details:
OS: Windows 2008 R1
DB : Oracle 11g R1 11.1.0.7 (64 bit)
Client: Oracle 11g R1 11.1.0.7 (32 bit)
Our App: 32 bit
ORACLE_HOME = // this is pointing to the 64 bit DB
I tried pointing the oracle_home to the client still no go.
Any suggestions on this will be appreciated.
Regards
Roy

Problem of OCI calls in DLL

Hi,
I am developing a DLL in which i am using OCI calls to interact with Oracle. The Logon oci call "olog" itself fails when it is called from DLL. It is working fine in EXE. Whether OCI calls can be used in DLL? If so, let me know how to use it. If not, whether OCI calls can be used in COM or CORBA components?
Thanks in advance.

This is not a forum for OCI, but interMedia. Please look for an appropriate forum and post there. Also, I recommend to include your system envirment information in your post.

HR_BUSINESS_UNIT_WID": invalid identifier at OCI call

Hi Guys,
I am getting the below error the column in does not exists in the Production Environement also, The Production is a vanilla implementation. Anybody has any idea how to map and poppulate this column in the table WC_RCRTMNT_AGING_MONTH_F.
HR_BUSINESS_UNIT_WID": invalid identifier at OCI call
Regards,
Amit

Swati:
"C2" is probably referring to the column alias as opposed to the column name itself. It is the second column that you are displaying. You can view the Session Log to see the exact sql query that is being issued to the database and that should show you what column "C2" is referring to.

Invalid datatype in OCI call ?

Hello,
Why i got
ORA-01024: invalid datatype in OCI call
when i'm trying to select a clob column from a table? that column contains 'hello world'. i don't know what causes this error..
Thanks

ORA-01024:     invalid datatype in OCI call
Cause:     An OCI program call specified an invalid datatype. In OCI calls, Oracle datatypes are specified as numbers between 1 and 7.
Action:     Check the datatype description and enter the correct number for the datatype. Please use search, before posting.

ORA-01830: date format picture ends before converting entire input string at OCI call OCIStmtFetch

Hi all,
We are trying to create a BIP Data Model based on an Answer, but after selecting report, it hangs when I try to Apply to create a query based on Oracle BI. When I try to open the query in aswers, going to results tab I'm getting this error (OBIEE 11.1.1.6.2):
ORA-01830: date format picture ends before converting entire input string at OCI call OCIStmtFetch
I suppose that BIP data model is not able to create it because of this error. But this answer is working fine inside dashboards, etc. It only does not work when editing it. Query is doing something like this: "USING "- Collection Attributes"."Due Date" >= TIMESTAMPADD(SQL_TSI_DAY, -30, CAST ('01/04/2009' AS DATE))"
Any ideas?

Solved watching date format in generated SQL and changing default date format in presentation variables default values inside criteria according to SQL format.

2. Is there a way to trace / log OCI ?
3. Any other suggestions to help with this problem.
Thanks in advance.
Gary

Well, it seems to me a bug.
You can enable tracing using NET 8 Assistant, and from there go to the tracing tab.
Select the SUPPORT trace level from the following pull down menu located in the Client Information section:
OFF: Tracing disabled.
USER: Trace information applicable for users.
ADMIN: Trace information applicable for database administrators.
SUPPORT: Trace information applicable for customer support staff.
Enter a valid directory name in the Trace Directory field in the Client Information section. This directory specification is where trace files are written on either the client or server.
Enter a valid filename in the Trace File field in the Client Information section. This filename specifies the name of the trace file on the client or server.
Click on the "unique File Trace Name" checkbox if you want a unique identifier appended to each new trace file created.
Save your configuration.
You can check the SQLNET.ORA file found in the net80/admin directory path to verify that tracing is enabled. There is an entry called TRACE_LEVEL_CLIENT=SUPPORT located in that file and entries that indicate the log file location and name that you specified in the Oracle Net8 Assistant.

ORA-00932: inconsistent datatypes: expected DATE got NUMBER at OCI call OCIStmtExecute in OBIEE 11g

Hi Friends,
I am getting this error : ORA-00932: inconsistent datatypes: expected DATE got NUMBER at OCI call OCIStmtExecute when I am trying to put the filter condition on the date column.
"Dim-Time"."Day" <= cast(MAX("Dim-Time"."Day") as date) and "Dim-Time"."Day" >= TIMESTAMPADD(SQL_TSI_MONTH, -1,cast(MAX("Dim-Time"."Day") as date).
I have casted the max date but though I am getting the above error. I am thinking max(date) is creating the problem.
Please suggest your on opinion this.
Thanks.

Not sure why you need cast in your statement if at all it is required then you need to do as below
cast("Dim-Time"."Day" as date)<= cast(MAX("Dim-Time"."Day") as date) and cast("Dim-Time"."Day" as date) >= TIMESTAMPADD(SQL_TSI_MONTH, -1,cast(MAX("Dim-Time"."Day") as date).
