Urgent:Issue with HashMap while creating session in Java Embedding Activity

Hi,
I am unable to createsession() with the values from HashMap. following is the code in JEA
IAgileSession m_session=null;
          IAdmin admin = null;
          IAgileClass cls = null;
          IAutoNumber[] numSources;
          String nextAutoNumber = null;
try {
               HashMap params = new HashMap();
               params.put(AgileSessionFactory.USERNAME, "*********");
               params.put(AgileSessionFactory.PASSWORD, "*******");
int s= params.size();
String y= (String)params.get(AgileSessionFactory.USERNAME);
String z= (String)params.get(AgileSessionFactory.PASSWORD);
addAuditTrailEntry("UserName " +y);
addAuditTrailEntry("Password " +z);
addAuditTrailEntry("Size is " +s);
               AgileSessionFactory instance = AgileSessionFactory.getInstance("******************************");
addAuditTrailEntry("After instance object" +instance);
m_session = instance.createSession(params);
addAuditTrailEntry("" +m_session);
addAuditTrailEntry("After instance object_Session");
               admin = m_session.getAdminInstance();
               cls = admin.getAgileClass( "ProblemReport" );
               IServiceRequest psr = (IServiceRequest)m_session.createObject( "ProblemReport", "PR-9989909");
          } catch (Exception e) {
               e.printStackTrace();
          } finally {
               m_session.close();
In the above code it is working perfectly up to AgilSessionFactory instance, but after that when I am printing m_session ( i.e. addAuditTrailEntry("" +m_session);) it is returning null values instead of some session ID. I am also able to print AgilesessionFactoy instance ID correctly inside JEA, but only problem is with m_session. I tried with the same code in java client and it is working perfectly. Please some one help me in this issue.

Issue with permission while creating incident

We have an issue. Sometimes our analytics get "no sufficient permission to perform the operation".
First of all they assigned roles with different queues. They have access to edit incidents with user role profile advanced operators and queue for incidents with status New. And they have access to read incidents with user role profile read-only operator
and queue for incidents with statuses Closed or Canceled.
When open new form for creating incident and wait a few minutes they may can't save incident and get permission error. But object in newly opened incident form isn't added in any queues. And then I find that incident was actually created.
Also when they save incident successfully, they can't even see it for up to 5 minutes while incident isn't in queue.
That's really annoying and confusing. As I can't get any way to troubleshoot what exactly form can't save.
Any workarounds to this? Or how do you separate access to closed and active incidents?

Hi
Rather than creating queues for these, you may be better creating Views for this instead, unless you specifically need to deny access to work items in these states.
Queue membership is calculated on a schedule and incurs a performance overhead. Therefore I tend to use these sparingly for things like support group separation and SLO targeting.
Also, if your analysts are opening an incident and waiting for a while, it is likely that a background workflow is updating the incident while the analyst has the record open. This will prevent the changes from being committed and will generate an
error.

Issue with G_FXX while creating a Process

Hello Friends,
I have a Manual Tabular form made with APEX_ITEM, I am trying to create a process to perform DML operations based on the values from the G_FXX arrays of APEX_APPLICATION.
Below is the error I am getting
ORA-06550: line 9, column 30: PLS-00302: component 'G_F51' must be declared ORA-06550: line 9, column 1: PL/SQL: Statement ignoredCorresponding Line of the Insert Process:
for i in 1..apex_application.g_f51.count
loop
    if ( apex_application.g_f51(i) is not null) then
        update CP_INTERFACE_SCH_INFO
     set INTF_NAME = apex_application.g_f52(i),
       Corresponding Region code :
select apex_item.hidden(50,CAP_PLAN_ID) ||
apex_item.hidden(51,LINE_NO) ||
apex_item.text(52,INTF_NAME) INTF_NAME,
apex_item.select_list_from_query(53,TYPE,'SELECT TYPE,TYPE_ID FROM
and so onThe form is generated properly and I could check the labels showing up correctly.
I have multiple other regions and processes on the same page with similar syntax working with out issues. I have spent quite some time, but could not think of any problem...
Please help me ...

Hi Dir,
Thanks for responding.
In my case :- I have multiple regions, all are tabular forms made with APEX_ITEM each having 7 ~ 8 cols. So, I have run out of arrays. I was updating the collections on specific region SAVE buttons.[I created collections On Load-Before Header with APEX_COLLECTION.CREATE_TRUNCATE_COLLECTION]. I wanted to load actual tables from collections upon hitting the final SUBMIT button.
Please let me know if there is a better practice to handle this situation.
Thanks..

Issue with LCM while migrating planning application in the cluster Env.

Hi,
Having issues with LCM while migrating the planning application in the cluster Env. In LCM we get below error and the application is up and running. Please let me know if anyone else has faced the same issue before in cluster environment. We have done migration using LCM on the single server and it works fine. It just that the cluster environment is an issue.
Error on Shared Service screen:
Post execution failed for - WebPlugin.importArtifacts.doImport. Unable to connect to "ApplicationName", ensure that the application is up and running.
Error on network:
“java.net.SocketTimeoutException: Read timed out”
ERROR - Zip error. The exception is -
java.net.SocketException: Connection reset by peer: socket write error
at java.net.SocketOutputStream.socketWrite0(Native Method)
at java.net.SocketOutputStream.socketWrite(SocketOutputStream.java:92)
at java.net.SocketOutputStream.write(SocketOutputStream.java:136)
at java.io.BufferedOutputStream.flushBuffer(BufferedOutputStream.java:65)

Hi,
First of all, if your environment for source and target are same then you will have all the users and groups in shared services, in that case you just have to provision the users for this new application so that your security will get migrated when you migrate the from the source application. If the environs are different, then you have to migrate the users and groups first and provision them before importing the security using LCM.
Coming back to the process of importing the artifacts in the target application using LCM, you have to place the migrated file in the @admin native directory in Oracle/Middleware/epmsystem1.
Open shared services console->File system and you will see the your file name under that.
Select the file and you will see all your exported artifacts. Select all if you want to do complete migration to target.
Follow the steps, select the target application to which you want to migrate and execute migration.
Open the application and you will see all your artifacts migrated to the target.
If you face any error during migration it will be seen in the migration report..
Thanks,
Sourabh

Urgent issue with Intrastat

Hi All, we have very urgent issue with intrastat report ''VE01''.
There is many documents with error Log-''The statistical value of the document item is zero.''.
The pricing settings looks OK and its impossible to
correct those documents with error.
Any Idee how I could correct them for them to get the green status?
Points will be added if helpful
Thanks and regards
Luis

Hello Luis,
please check the VBRP-BRTWR. If this fiels is zero then you get an entry in the incompletion log.
the message could be also occur if the GRWR is zero.
Please check your pricing setting.
Hope this will help to solve the problem.
I f you are satisfied with the answer, please don't forget to give Reward Points.

Hi am having issues with getting the list of users from the Active Director

Hi am having issues with getting the list of users from the Active Directory, can anyone help me with this!

Hi Jason,
Try this:
1. In Ultiboard select Tools>>Netlist Editor>>Pins, press the Delete button
2. Select all nets in the Select the Net to Delete dialog and then press the Delete button. This will clear all nets in the layout, don't worry all traces, parts are still on the design.
3. Go to Multisim and select Transfer>>Forward annotate to Ultiboard. This will add all nets that you removed back and it should fix the pin problem

Getting error while calling external Jars in BPEL by using Java embedding activity in soa 12c

Hi,
I am trying to use an external Jars for the business logic implementation. Here I need to pass XML as input and
and I expect the "Password " field has to be return.
Following are the steps I have followed:
1) Created a java project with sample class and added the external jars into the project "Libraries &Classpath".
2) Created a jar file out of it.
3) Created a BPEL project with Java Embedding.
4)Wrote the java code in java embedding activity.
4) Added the above created jar file to the BPEL project's lib/jar and added in SCA-INF/lib project folder as well.
5) Imported the package with the class as in the jar (e.g <bpelx:exec
import="pkg.testInterface"/>)
6) Deploy the BPEL project.
while deploying the SOA build is sucessful but my depoyment is incomplete.
error:
advices will be great....
Regards,
Dilip

Hi,
Can you confirm if the BPEL Version is 1.1 or 2.0.
If you are using BPEL 2.0 you need to import the required jar/class file as:
<import importtype="http://schemas.oracle.com/bpel/extension/java" location="pkg.testInterface"/>
For BPEL 1.1 the syntax to import other jar/class file is:
<bpelx:exec import="pkg.testInterface"/>
If you import the classes in the correct format you will not face any deployment error.

Want to Generate custom logs with Log4J within Java Embedding activity

Hi Gurus,
i want to Generate custom logs with Log4J within Java Embedding activity. For that i have performed some steps, but the log file has not been created.
ServerSide Configuration:
*===============*
1. I have copied the log4j-1.2.15.jar file to the "oracle.soa.ext_11.1.1" location and recreate the oracle.soa.ext.jar file using an-script, which appends the log4j.jar file to the classpath.( That was created successfully)
2. Specify a File location in log4j.xml for creating the log file. (e.g. (<middleware_home>/config/customLog.log)
3. Then create a folder and add log4j.xml and log4j.dtd file under the folder.
4. Modify the startManagedWeblogicServer by adding JAVA_OPTIONS="-Dlog4j.configuration=<middleware_home>/config/log4j.debug.xml”
5. Then restart the SOA server.
log4j.xml :
I have used fileAppender.
DevelopmentSide Configuration:
*===================*
1. Create synchronous BPEL process and Add "JAVA Embedding Activity" inbetween receiveInput and replyOutput activity.
2.Import the log4j-1.2.15.jar to the project libs
3.In the BPEL source code, import the Logger class.
4.Insert the code in the JAVA Embedding Activity
Logger logger = Logger.getLogger("CustomLog");
logger.info("CustomeLog " + getTitle());
Compile and deploy the project into the SOA_server and test it. Test status is completed but log is not created in the mentioned location.
Ref: http://blog.andrade.inf.br/search/label/Log4j
Is there any other way to achieve this requirement. Please suggest.
Thanks in Advance,
Sharmistha

You can try this.

Issue with "read by other session" and a parallel MERGE query

Hi everyone,
we have run into an issue with a batch process updating a large table (12 million rows / a few GB, so it's not that large). The process is quite simple - load the 'increment' from a file into a working table (INCREMENT_TABLE) and apply it to the main table using a MERGE. The increment is rather small (usually less than 10k rows), but the MERGE runs for hours (literally) although the execution plan seems quite reasonable (can post it tomorrow, if needed).
The first thing we've checked is AWR report, and we've noticed this:
Top 5 Timed Foreground Events
Event     Waits     Time(s)     Avg wait (ms)     % DB time     Wait Class
DB CPU           10,086           43.82
read by other session     3,968,673     9,179     2     39.88     User I/O
db file scattered read     1,058,889     2,307     2     10.02     User I/O
db file sequential read     408,499     600     1     2.61     User I/O
direct path read     132,430     459     3     1.99     User I/OSo obviously most of the time was consumed by "read by other session" wait event. There were no other queries running at the server, so in this case "other session" actually means "parallel processes" used to execute the same query. The main table (the one that's updated by the batch process) has "PARALLEL DEGREE 4" so Oracle spawns 4 processes.
I'm not sure how to fix this. I've read a lot of details about "read by other session" but I'm not sure it's the root cause - in the end, when two processes read the same block, it's quite natural that only one does the physical I/O while the other waits. What really seems suspicious is the number of waits - 4 million waits means 4 million blocks, 8kB each. That's about 32GB - the table has about 4GB, and there are less than 10k rows updated. So 32 GB is a bit overkill (OK, there are indexes etc. but still, that's 8x the size of the table).
So I'm thinking that the buffer cache is too small - one process reads the data into cache, then it's removed and read again. And again ...
One of the recommendations I've read was to increase the PCTFREE, to eliminate 'hot blocks' - but wouldn't that make the problem even worse (more blocks to read and keep in the cache)? Or am I completely wrong?
The database is 11gR2, the buffer cache is about 4GB. The storage is a SAN (but I don't think this is the bottleneck - according to the iostat results it performs much better in case of other batch jobs).

OK, so a bit more details - we've managed to significantly decrease the estimated cost and runtime. All we had to do was a small change in the SQL - instead of
MERGE /*+ parallel(D DEFAULT)*/ INTO T_NOTUNIFIED_CLIENT D /*+ append */
USING (SELECT
      FROM TMP_SODW_BB) S
ON (D.NCLIENT_KEY = S.NCLIENT_KEY AND D.CURRENT_RECORD = 'Y' AND S.DIFF_FLAG IN ('U', 'D'))
...(which is the query listed above) we have done this
MERGE /*+ parallel(D DEFAULT)*/ INTO T_NOTUNIFIED_CLIENT D /*+ append */
USING (SELECT
      FROM TMP_SODW_BB AND DIFF_FLAG IN ('U', 'D')) S
ON (D.NCLIENT_KEY = S.NCLIENT_KEY AND D.CURRENT_RECORD = 'Y')
...i.e. we have moved the condition from the MERGE ON clause to the SELECT. And suddenly, the execution plan is this

                    D.CURRENT_RECORD(+)='Y' Yes, I know the queries are not exactly the same - but we can fix that. The point is that the TMP_SODW_BB table contains 1639 rows in total, and 284 of them match the moved 'IN' condition. Even if we remove the condition altogether (i.e. 1639 rows have to be merged), the execution plan does not change (the cost increases to about 1300, which is proportional to the number of rows).
But with the original IN condition (that turns into an OR combination of predicates) in the MERGE ON clausule, the cost suddenly skyrockets to 990.000 and it's damn slow. It seems like a problem with cost estimation, because once we remove one of the values (so there's only one value in the IN clausule), it works fine again. So I guess it's a planner/estimator issue ...
