Ultra Search Error Messages

Is there any list with all possible Ultra Search Error Messages?

Hi,
I was using dbca to create a database after installing R12. Errored out with "ORA-20000: Oracle Ultra Search error" after running 71%. It prompts me "Ignore" or "Abort". Why you run DBCA to create a database after installing R12? Rapid Install 11i/R12 will install the database for you and you do not have to do so manually.
I checked one of the log files "cloneDBCreation", there is an error ORA-01109: database not open. What should I do?If the above is not valid, please check the database log file for details why the database was not created successfully.
Regards,
Hussein

  • Strang problem when searching error message in Adapter Engine

    Hi all,
    In RWB message monitoring, I tried to search all the error messages for yesterday and got no results. But I know there were actually several error messages for yesterday because I got several alert mails.
    Then I went to my mail box and copy the message id and used it to search again. Then I found this message was exactlly in "System Error". But if I search all the error messages for yesterday, I get no results.
    Anyone knows the problem?
    Regards,
    Hui

    Hello  Hui Wang,
    <b>Adapter engine resides on Java stack and u view sxmb_moni on the ABAP stack which displays only Integration Server related errors.</b>
    Message that passes the Integration pipeline are visible in sxmb_moni. Errors related to CC can be traced in CC monitoring or adapter monitoring in RWB.

  • Registering Portal in Oracle Ultra Search

    Hi,
    I am in the process of setting up Oracle Ultra Search. I have followed the documentation down as far as Configuring Ultra Search to Index Portal Pages and I get to the point where I am adding the OracleAS Portal registration details.
    I am not sure what my URL base should be, I have tried several combinations of
    http://<hostname>:<port>/pls/portal/PORTAL
    http://<hostname>:<port>/pls/portal/portal
    but I get the same error every time when I go to register the portal.
    Oracle Ultra Search Error
    Could not retrieve data from Oracle Portal. Make sure that the URL base is correct and that the portal is operational.
    My Portal is up and running at (http://<hostname>/portal/page/portal/ultrasearch)
    What should my URL base be ?
    Thanks,

    Reference: http://download-west.oracle.com/docs/cd/B14099_19/portal.1014/b19305/cg_monit.htm#CHDFEIED
    In SES10.1.8, it says URL base format is <protocol>://<host>:<port>/pls/<portal DAD>/<portal schema>, however it is confusing.
    The following is applicable to Portal 10.1.4:
    You may get some clue by going Administer tab -> Portal -> Portal Service Monitoring -> Portal DAD Setting -> Database Connection
    In my setting, I see,
    DAD Name of Location = <font color=green>/pls/portal</font>
    Database username = <font color=pink>portal</font>
    The correct combination that works is:
    http://portal.machine.com:7778/portal<font color=green>/pls/portal</font>/<font color=pink>portal</font>

  • Errors in Ultra Search crawler's log file

    Hi all,
    I'm trying to configure Ultra Search to do advanced search on a set of attributes of my Portal items.
    After executed Synchronization Schedule in the Ultra Search Administration Tool, I found these in the Crawler Progress Summary:
    Documents to Fetch 0
    Documents Fetched 284
    Document Fetch Failures 0
    Documents Rejected 0
    Documents Discovered 284
    Documents Indexed 59
    Documents non-indexable 225
    Document Conversion Failures 0
    The number of non-indexable documents are 225 while the indexed documents are only 59. Then I looked into the Crawler's log file and found that all the almost processes tried to index Portal items got errors. The errors look like:
    http://winas10g.tinhvan.com/pls/portal/PORTAL.wwsbr_srchxml.execute?p_action=generate_item&p_thingid=276935&p_siteid=753&p_result_lang=en: Portal server returned an error message.
    Documents to process = 0
    Error message returned from Portal server is: User-Defined Exception.
    The successful processed documents look like:
    Documents to process = 186
    Processing http://winas10g.tinhvan.com/pls/portal/PORTAL.wwsbr_srchxml.execute?p_action=generate_item&p_thingid=276386&p_siteid=753
    Total documents successfully processed = 86
    Documents to process = 185
    Then when I performed search, I just can find the text that appear directly on Portal pages with URL address format: http://host:port/pls/portal/url/PAGE/pagegroup_name/page_name.
    Is there any error with my Utra Search configuration here? How can I index all the Portal items along with their attributes?
    Thanks,
    Vietdt

    Liya
    The log file for the crawler schedule should be explicitly listed in the information for the schedule. Please check the information for that schedule.
    This log file will be located in the log directory that you've specified in the "crawler" tab.
    Please locate the log file and let us know what you see in that.
    thanks

  • Error message trying to install new search engines

    I am running Firefox 19.0.2 installed yesterday on a new desktop PC at the office. (Old PC failed to boot on Monday.) I have completed most of my customization without difficulty. However, when I try to install new search engines, it doesn't seem to matter which one, I get a pop-up error message:
    "Sorry, you need a Mozilla-based browser (such as Firefox) to install a search plug-in."
    I had no problems installing new search engines under Firefox 16 3rd quarter of last year when I started this job. Why am I unable to install search engines in FF 19?

    Hello lafritz65, '''Try Firefox Safe Mode''' to see if the problem goes away. Safe Mode is a troubleshooting mode, which disables most add-ons.
    ''(If you're not using it, switch to the Default theme.)''
    * You can open Firefox 4.0+ in Safe Mode by holding the '''Shift''' key when you open the Firefox desktop or Start menu shortcut.
    * Or open the Help menu and click on the '''Restart with Add-ons Disabled...''' menu item while Firefox is running.
    ''Once you get the pop-up, just select "'Start in Safe Mode"''
    '''''If the issue is not present in Firefox Safe Mode''''', your problem is probably caused by an extension, and you need to figure out which one. Please follow the [[Troubleshooting extensions and themes]] article for that.
    ''To exit the Firefox Safe Mode, just close Firefox and wait a few seconds before opening Firefox for normal use again.''
    ''When you figure out what's causing your issues, please let us know. It might help other users who have the same problem.''
    thank you

  • I get nothing but error messages, -"Your IMAP server wants to alert you to the following: 113 that mail is not available" or 364? there are hundreds stacked up.You must give answers to how to fix these when we do "search" add the error code number

    I get nothing but error messages, -
    "Your IMAP server wants to alert you to the following: 113 that mail is not available"  or  the same with:  364? 
    Now there are hundreds stacked up on my desktop.
    I cannot find the answer anywhere. You need to  give answers to how to fix these errors because when I  "search" "error code" or the number there is NOTHING. NOTHING!  Yet you give us these stupid error codes
    then you do not give us ANYTHING on how to fix these. These error codes make me so mad it makes me hate outlook, and hate the developers and hate microsoft.  How in the world can you give us ERROR codes without the explanation of what
    to do or how to fix it. You need to  add each  error code number in your "search" then explain what it is and how to fix it.  I am not a tech. I am a lawyer. I have googled the entire string of error code and nothing is clear.
    So, for the last several years, I get these error codes. Also, there is another error code that won't go away--it is the password error code that asks if I want to store the password. Yes, so I say YES. but it pops back. I am sick of this. This is the reason
    I hate Microsoft and I love google. #1 they respond to error, #2 them try to fix them you do not. I paid the full price to buy the OUtlook 2010, almost $500 just to get outlook, and all I got was error codes. I could not even open it because all I would get
    was that error codes and NO ONE knew how to fix them. WHAT IS YOUR PROBLEM that you cannot fix the stupid error codes that you imbed? PLEASE HELP

    Hi,
    I understand how frustrated you are when facing such an issue, maybe I can provide some suggestions on the problem.
    Based on the description, you should be using an IMAP account setup in Outlook. As for the error message, usually it's caused by a corrupted message on the Server. I suggest you logon the Webmail site, check if sending/receiving emails works well.
    If you find any unusual emails that cannot be read or sent, try deleting them to try again.
    I also suggest you create a new profile to setup the IMAP account:
    http://support.microsoft.com/kb/829918/en-us
    Contact your Email Service Provider to get the correct and latest account settings, since you have been using Outlook for years, some settings may have been changed while you haven't been informed.
    For the steps to setup an account in Outlook 2010, please refer to:
    http://office.microsoft.com/en-001/outlook-help/add-or-remove-an-email-account-HA010354414.aspx
    I hope this helps.

    Anyone got any ideas as to why this is happening?
    Also, I have not created any tables in my database... is this why it doesn't display any search results from my website?

    Sorry, but it doesn't help JTANNA.
    What is your definition of "more efficiently"? If it's limitation of search results, branded search, and limitation of styling your results then google search is more efficient. Real developers rely on their own developments. For example: how can google search display results from a password-protected site? They can't.
    best,

  • Error while installing Oracle Ultra Search on DB for IDM

    Dear All,

    few doubts
    Is it possible to go ahead for IDM installation without having ultra search enabled in database?
    any other way around that i can have ultra search?
    after applying patchset on basic version(10201) i am installing ultra search from basic version (as patchset doesnt have companion dir) on upgraded version(10204) causing this issue?
    Thanks,

    my guess was correct. the issue was last point.
    After applying patchset on basic version(10201) i am installing ultra search from basic version (as patchset doesnt have companion dir) on upgraded version(10204) causing this issue?
    it was resolved by uninstalling DB, and again installing from basic version (10201) then went to companion CD, installed ultrasearch on same oracle_home. it got installed without any issue.
    then upgraded to 10204. then created DB, and enabled ultrasearch by DBCA.
    let me know in case of more details required.

    I bought a used PowerMacPC G5. I can burn and read DVDs, but I can't read or burn CDs. The CDs are not even recognized. After the drive searches for a while, the CD is ejected without any error messages. The CDs work okay on my iMac.
    I am running Mac OSX 10.4.11. According to the System profiler the CD/DVD drive is a "PioneerDVD-RWDVR-112D." When I compare the information under this heading, the only unusual difference from my iMac is that the G5 reads "Burn Support: Yes (Unsupported)." My iMac reads "Burn Support: Yes (Apple Shipping Drive)."
    Under the System Preferences the options are set to "Ask what to do" when a blank CD or DVD is inserted. Music CD set to open iTunes, Picture CD set to open iPhoto, Video DVD set to open DVD player.
    Do you have any suggestions?
    Thanks, Jack

    I tried to rename a file, it gave me an error message (can't remember the number - 43??) and then the file disappeared from the original folder. When I do a search, the file comes up under the new name, but it does not show a path, and even though preview shows the contents, I can't open the document (Powerpoint) and I can't move the document. I tried "Copy" and paste but it doesn't work. I tried "Share" with Airdrop and iChat, but the file is inaccessible. When i try to rename the file, it says the filename is too long.
    When I try to open it, it says the alias is not good, and asks if I want to fix the alias. I'm afraid to do that and lose all access to this document.
    Right now, it feels like a ghost document - it is on the computer intact, but it is in an undisclosed location and inaccessible.
    Please help!!

    I was able to resolve this by repairing permissions, even though no permissions error was listed specifically for that file.
    I could also have recovered it through Time Machine, but I'm interested in knowing how not to have this happen again!
    I was afraid of rebooting and possibly losing track even of the ghost.
    I did not try EasyFind - I'll keep that in mind next time.
    Thanks for all the comments.

  • Error message when using search

    why do i keep getting an error message when using the "search" tabe in iTunes. This happend whe i upgraded t the latest version of itunes.

    Well, I believe JHeadstart does not really have this functionality.
    One way is use a Query Operator 'startsWith', but then you always query like LIKE '<entered search value>%'
    This is probably not what you want...
    But you could hack it into advancedSearch in YourApplicationModuleImpl
    try {
    if (viewCriterium.getQueryValue() != null) { //This is where exception JHS-00116 is raised...
    value = viewCriterium.getQueryValue().toString();
    } else {
    value = null;
    catch (NumberFormatException ex) {
    //insert check for wildcard
    value = viewCriterium.getValue().toString();
    if (value.indexOf('%')>=0) {          
    sLog.debug("Ja, een wildcard!!!");
    operator = "LIKE";
    } else {//original exceptionhandling code here...
    ...and a bit later, add test for "LIKE":
    if (viewCriterium.isDate() || viewCriterium.isString() || "LIKE".equals(operator)) {
    value = "'" + value + "'";
    very nasty code, and does not raise an exception for searches like '%xxx'
    Good luck,
