Jari,
My DBA reverted back the changes and commented out as you suggested but it still doesn't work.
The current configuration has the following:
PlsqlRequestValidationFunction wwv_flow_epg_include_moduels.authorize
How do I modify it so it will allow my procedure to fire?
The documentation states:
>
3.1.1 Defining the PlsqlRequestValidationFunction Directive in mod_plsql
mod_plsql provides a DAD parameter directive called PlsqlRequestValidationFunction which enables you to allow or disallow further processing of a requested procedure. This is useful for implementing tight security for your PL/SQL application by blocking package/procedure calls which should not be allowed to run from the DAD.
The function defined by this parameter must have the following prototype:
boolean function_name (procedure_name IN varchar2)
When invoked, the argument 'procedure_name' will contain the name of the procedure that the request is trying to run.
For example, if all the PL/SQL application procedures that can be called from a browser are inside the package "mypkg", then a simple implementation of this function can be as shown in Example 3-1:
Example 3-1 Implementation of Request Validation Function to Block Procedures
boolean my_validation_check (procedure_name varchar2)
is
begin
if (upper(procedure_name) like upper('myschema.mypkg%')) then
return TRUE;
else
return FALSE;
end if;
end;

How do I implement this? Please help.
Thank you.
Best Regards,
Robert
