Type of OLE objects in Oracle

Hi,
In Oracle, which is the type equivalent to OLE objects of Access?
Thanks with anticipation. Regards

I think I would go first to the Oracle documentation manual on the subject then I would look over the search results.
Oracle® Objects for OLE Developer's Guide 11g Release 1 (11.1) Part Number B28378-01
http://download.oracle.com/docs/cd/B28359_01/win.111/b28378/serobjch.htm#OOFOL0009
It would probably be best to seek out the equilivent manual for the release of Oracle in question.

Mime type application ole-object

Sometimes I cannot view video material and I get a message like the one above. Sorry it is not an exact quote. But the key words are all there.
Thanks

That is a MIME type specifically for Windows and won't work on Macs.

OLE object Migration from Access to Oracle through SQL developer

Hello,
I used sql developer 3.1.07(oracle 11g) to perform data migration from MS ACESS.
the MS access data has a column with data type as "OLE object" ---there
saved a lot of pdf files .
Then I performed "copy to oracle" from MS access connection, the OLE data
changed to BLOB from oracle database, and data seems to be copied to
database as binary . However none of the data in the column can be opened. I
download the blob data to a file from sql developer and tried to open
using Adobe 8.1 with no success.
How can I fix this issue? or I should say, how can I migrate MS access OLE data to oracle?
Thanks,
H.M.

thx - will have a look

The original PDF content starts with:

4 0 obj
<<
/Creator (Apache FOP Version 1.0)
/Producer (Apache FOP Version 1.0)

endobj
5 0 obj
<<

/Filter /FlateDecode

stream
But when I try to save the content in the BLOB as a file it claims about a missing mime extension and when I ignore this message and save the file anyway as a PDF the content is corrupted.
It shows as :

Did you also get the missing mime type error message?

Ole object not visible on oracle report

Hi,
I have an oracle report built in oracle report 6i builder I have used a Boilerplate OLE Object(image.bmp) in the report but when I am executing the report on Oracle E Business(Application) then that OLE object is not visible on the report output(output is in the pdf format).
Please help me out with this
Thanks in advance

If you want to display an image on your report, use Link File as item type in the Layout Editor.
Note that the image has to be accessable from the Reports Server.

Converting OLE Object in Sql Server to Oracle

SQL Server contains datatype OLE Object. This is basically an array of binary floating point data where each value of the array is 4 byte long. How can I store these values in Oracle database.
null

You cannot specify the precision/scale or length of input paramters to a stored procedure in Oracle, or at least the pl/sql engine does not respect the sizing. Assuming that you want to do something with variable1 in the procedure, and not just return it, the Oracle equivalent would be something along the lines of:
SQL> CREATE FUNCTION f (p_param1 IN VARCHAR2,
2                     p_param2 IN NUMBER,
3                     p_param3 IN NUMBER) RETURN NUMBER IS
4     l_var1 NUMBER(20) := SUBSTR(p_param1, p_param2, p_param3);
5 BEGIN
6     RETURN l_var1 * 10;
7 END;
8 /
Function created.
SQL> SELECT f('ABC10DEF', 4, 2) FROM dual;
F('ABC10DEF',4,2)
              100You may need to adjust the return type to match what you are actually returning.
You can also use this iin a direct assignment in pl/sql without doig a select, something like:
SQL> DECLARE
2     l_num NUMBER(20);
3 BEGIN
4     l_num := f('ABC10DEF', 4, 2);
5     DBMS_OUTPUT.Put_Line('The number is: '||l_num);
6 END;
7 /
The number is: 100John

OLE Object - Unknown Type

We modified a customer's Crystal Report to contain an OLE Object (a linked PDF) and it was working fine and updating perfectly. Recently the customer was having problems using the report. Looking at the report, once it opens it tries to update the PDF but we get this error "Some links could not be updated because their sources are presently unavailable". With this message we get a links button and when we look at that the PDF is now an unknown type.
Also now when we try to create a new report and insert an OLE Object like before, first off PDF is not in the Object Type list. and secondly it inserts it from a file as an icon if/if not the check box is checked.
Does anyone know what could have changed for OLE PDFs not to work anymore for us? Any help would be greatly appreciated in this.

Hi Scotty,
Appears the DDE interpreter to handle PDF's has either been altered or AV software is blocking access now.
What happens if they simply double click on any PDF file?
Use ProcessMonitor to see what is happening, try running one of the reports and then look in the log for Access Denied errors.

Problem with ole objects

Hello to all,
I'm having a problem concerning the use of ole objects.
I'm using Oracle Forms 6.0.8.16.0 with Oracle Reports 6.0.8.1.7.1 on Windows 2000 with Oracle Database Server 9.2.0.4.0.
I have several forms with base tables including blob columns which are used to store ole objects. These could be MS-Word-documents or Bitmaps of signatures. When inserting these objects via "create new" and choose the object type, Word or Paintbrush opens and i can create my objects. After committing these changes to the database, these objects are printed in a report correctly. When inserting these objects via "create from file" or using a push button which is executing "initialize_container" with a file and committing to the database, i get an error while executing the report "REP-0082: Error executing SCA utility".
I want to use a push button to store my ole objects because the "create" dialogue is confusing our users because there is a huge list of all possible ole objects on the client.
Can anybody help with this ?
And to the Oracle Team, please don't suggest simply to upgrade to a higher patch level without looking at the problem. First, I tested all patch levels up to 16, with no change. Second, it's not easy to upgrade for an 24x7 application with hundreds of users in different countries with different ways of deployment.

Kai

[svn:bz-trunk] 11030: Tweak the deserialization of ASObjects to treat an empty string for the type of an object as null .

Revision: 11030
Author:   [email protected]
Date:     2009-10-20 11:35:02 -0700 (Tue, 20 Oct 2009)
Log Message:
Tweak the deserialization of ASObjects to treat an empty string for the type of an object as null. It appears that there is some logic in the LC remoting code that relies on a non-null class name to always exist. This change reverts to the old behavior of not allowing empty string as a value for the ASObject.namedType.
This should fix bug 2448442 and its duplicates caused by the recent serialization changes.
I don't think this is the perfect fix. Pending further investigation, a better fix would be either:
a. If it's OK to assume that empty string should always mean null for the type of the ASObject, the code that enforces it should be in the setter/getter inside ASObject and not in the deserializer.
b. ASObject doesn't guarantee that a named type exists or is valid. In that sense an empty string is as bad as some random characters that cannot be a valid class name in java, so depending on how disruptive it may be, the fix should be in any logic that uses ASObject.getType().

Hi Pavan,
"In your payload there is no namespace prefix for the elements under PayloadHeader element."
Yes, you are right - but this message is standard AQ Adapter Header message - it's not defined by me. I just used message which was automatically added to my project when I have defined AQ Adapter.
"In your process is the default namespace is same as namespace value of tns ??"
Do you mean targetNamespace? If yes it's different as it points to process "targetNamespace="http://xmlns.oracle.com/PF_SOA_jws/PF_APPS/APPS_PROCESS" (names of application and process have changed as I try different ways to do that)
ns1 is: xmlns:ns1="http://xmlns.oracle.com/pcbpel/adapter/aq/PF_SOA/PF_APPS/PO_AQ"
"another thing is tns and ns1 should have same values.."
When I create a variable of header type, namespace ns1 is automatically created for it. I set it as property of receive activity. When process is instantiated on the serwer I get the error in which you can see that namespace is tns.
Maybe I'm doing something wrong but I don't see how I could fix this in my process.
You can see that the message I get on the server has nothing in common with the application/project/process names. Is it possible to define such variable?
Regards
Pawel
PS:
In Transformation xsl file, both variables (source and target) has tns namespace for Header and PayloadHeader, and no namespace for subfields.

It exports ole object in postscript format (.eps) but i dont now any software which can open this file and show result on screen.
i am using developer 6i with oracle 9i database in client-server environment.

Hello,
Take a look to the thread :

OLE objects linked to MS Word/MS Excel do not update in InfoView

I am facing the following problem:
- Embedded a Word document as linked OLE object into a crystal report and stored it to Enterprise repository.
- When opening the report with CR Developer from my workstation, links are updated and changes made in the .doc file are reflected, the report is updated
- However when displaying and refreshing the report in InfoView changes aren't reflected.
The OLE link (type document) is set to update automatically. I tried to store the report to the enterprise repository with and without data. Yet no difference - no update in either case. Neither scheduling nor opening and refreshing the report in InfoView helps.
I further inserted an OLE object linked to a bmp image, and for the image refreshing works, even in InfoView
So am I doing something wrong?
Some threads in this forum indicate that only OLE linked pictures (bmp, jpg) can be refreshed dynamically, e.g.
[Dynamically change path to OLE file]
Others indicate that it is also possible to dynamically refresh OLE objects linked to .doc, e.g.
[Re: Link to Word document doesn't refresh when running from Infoview]
- Is it at all possible to dynamically display the contents of .doc or .xls files in a CR when viewing and refreshing the report in InfoView (without the need to reopen and resave the report with CR Developer first) ?
- We are using BOE XI3.1 SP3 and Crystal Reports 2008 SP3. On the BOE server Crystal Reports Developer is not installed. Can this be a prerequisite for the OLE links to update in InfoView?
- Any other suggestions?
Thanks
Konrad

Hi Don,
Thank you for the quick reply.
- You say that this works in CR Designer. That's right. As described above, even I can open the report with CR Designer and the links are getting updated.
- However if I do not reopen and resave the report with Designer ... if I just open and refresh the report in InfoView to get the updated information from the files ... changes are not shown. I face this problem ONLY with ole links to .doc and .exe. OLE links to image formats such as .bmp do work. WHY?
My files are already stored locally to the BO server and the (changed) image files are read and updated from exactly this directory. But not the linked Excel and Word files...
Thanks
Konrad

Automating Importing a Visio OLE Object or Changing the Source of a Previously Imported OLE Object

My colleagues and I import our Visio files into FrameMaker 10 via the following mechanism: File > Import > Object... > Create from File (with Link checked). We do this because, for us, the benefits of object linking and embedding outweight the pitfalls. In order to institute and automate a graphic file naming convention, I want to be able to do one of the following using ExtendScript:
Replace each Visio OLE object with that of a renamed or new Visio file. (I've tried using the Import() method with many different import-script settings, but have not found the correct import-script, if such a thing exists for importing Visio files imported by reference and linked as OLE objects. My typical error when attempting this is FV_DisallowedImportType, which indicates the source file type is disallowed by my import-script settings. When I talk about my import-script settings, I'm referring to the adjustments that I make to the parameters returned from a call to GetImportDefaultParams(). I've tried numerous import-script combinations but have had no luck. )
Rename the Visio source file and change the source file of an already-linked Visio OLE object. (To do this, I need to determine how to implement a script that equals the following user actions while a FM document is open: clicking on Links... under the Edit menu to bring-up the Links window; selecting each link displayed in the Links window; clicking the Change Source button for each selected link; entering the new file name in the File name field of the Change Source window; clicking Open. Needless to say, I found nothing in the ExtendScript capabilities that indicates that this approach is doable. It may be doable using FDK F_Codes, I haven't explored that avenue and would like to avoid it.)
Modify the OLE2 facet such that it points to the renamed file instead of the previous name for the file. (This does not seem like a clean approach. As is the case now, I don't know how to properly update the facet with the new file name. I've experimented with simply changing the file name strings from new to old, but that does not work. There's probably some error-checking or checksum that needs to be recomputed. Bottom line: I don't know enough about facets.)
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks, Paul

Hi Paul,
I tried doing something like this years ago with FrameScript, but found out that the OLE stuff is not exposed to FrameScript or the FDK. So it is probably not exposed to ExtendScript either. When you query an OLE graphic's InsetFile property, it returns a null string, the same as a graphic Imported by Copy would. As far as I can see, importing as an OLE object is only available through the Windows FrameMaker interface.

Truncation of leading Zeros when Down Loading into Excel - OLE Objects

Hi,
Can any one help me on this.
I am using <b>OLE Objects</b> to download Data into Excel Sheet. Data with leading Zeros is getting truncated in Excel.
Ex: Report Output is showing Plant Number as 0002. But when i am downloading to Excel Plant value will become 2 .
   I would like to have it as 0002 in Excel.
I have declared Werks as CHAR of 4.I am using OLE Obects for Downloading into Excel Sheet.
I am using "OLE2_OBJECT" I can not use any other FMs to down load to Excel.As i am modifying this program not creating.
Thanks In Advance.
