Using Oracle Packages in Oracle BI EE

I am trying to replicate old Discoverer reports in Oracle BI EE. In the old Discoverer reports, they would include the package and function information in the SELECT statement of the SQL. When I try to import the database information in BI EE, I can only get table and view information, not the packages. How do you access and use Oracle packages in BI EE? Thanks in advance for any help you may be able to provide.

If you have OBIEE 10.1.3.3 OBIEE you can use BI built-in EVALUATE function to call user-defined functions in database.
This function is intended for scalar and analytic calculations.
Syntax: EVALUATE('DB_Function(%1)', <Comma separated Expression>)
Example: SELECT e.lastname,sales.revenue,EVALUATE('dense_rank() over(order by %1 )',sales.revenue) FROM sales s, employee e;

Error while sending a mail using UTP_MAIL package in Oracle 10g

Hi,
We are using UTP_MAIL package to send a mail from Oracle 10g.We have follwed the following steps ...
SQL> connect sys/password as sysdba
Connected.
SQL> @$ORACLE_HOME/rdbms/admin/utlmail.sql
Package created.
Synonym created.
SQL> @$ORACLE_HOME /rdbms/admin/prvtmail.plb
Package body created.
SQL > alter system set smtp_out_server = '<mail_server_ip:25>' scope =spfile;
System altered..
Now we try the code
begin
utl_mail.send(
sender => 'sender's mail',
recipients => 'receiver mail',
CC => 'optional',
subject => 'Testing utl_mail',
message => 'Test Mail'
end;
But we get the following error...
ERROR at line 1:
ORA-29278: SMTP transient error: 421 Service not available
ORA-06512: at "SYS.UTL_SMTP", line 21
ORA-06512: at "SYS.UTL_SMTP", line 97
ORA-06512: at "SYS.UTL_SMTP", line 139
ORA-06512: at "SYS.UTL_MAIL", line 405
ORA-06512: at "SYS.UTL_MAIL", line 594
ORA-06512: at line 2
We also tried connecting to the mail server through telnet .But it is not getting connected..
Please help us to solve the issue.

From your own posting you may have the clue, if you try to access your mail server through telnet and it is not successful, it means the service is down or there are networking issues.
On pre 10gR2 versions there was a bug 4083461.8. It could affect you if you are on 10gR1
"Bug 4083461 - UTL_SMTP.OPEN_CONNECTION in shared server fails with ORA-29278 Doc ID: Note:4083461.8"
This was fixed on 10gR2 base and on 9.2.0.8.0

Using DBMS packages in Oracle forms 4.5

Hi,
Can DBMS_* packages be used in Oracle forms 4.5?
If it can be used i would like to have some examples of the same?
Thanks..

If you want to display the *.txt file use ole object to do that and if you want to read the data from the text file and display in the text field then use textio package.
Hope this helps you.

Error while using UTP_MAIL package in oracle 10g

Hi,
I am using the UTP_MAIL package to send a mail from oracle 10g.
I hane connected to the database as sysdba,but while setting the SMTP_SERVER_OUTPUT parameter i get the following error.
SQL> ALTER SYSTEM SET smtp_out_server='blrkecmbx02.ad.abc.com:25' scope=both;
ERROR at line 1:
ORA-02095: specified initialization parameter cannot be modified
Pls help to figure out a solution.

This parameter is not modifiable, check the Oracle Reference: SMTP_OUT_SERVER Initialization Parameter
Try the scope=spfile instead of both.

Dynamic SQL using DBMS_SQL Package

Hi,
How do i construct a
"select * from :table_name(input parameter)"
in a store proc in Oracle8 ?
I know this is only possible using DBMS_SQL package in Oracle 8.
I know that this is easily done using native Dyanamic SQL 8i onwards.
Also I want to return the resultset obtained above through a REF cursor.
Please Help !!!
Will be greatly indebted to anyone who can supply the code or direct me to some helpful information on the net.
Thanks in advance.
Peeyush

You are asking for two things here, use the tablename dynamically
as bind variable to fetch the resultset and send the resultset to
a stored procedure.
I thought of doing both of them with REF Cursors, no Dynamic SQL here.
Consider the following test,SQL> create or replace package ref_types as
2       type r_cursor(pSal NUMBER) is ref cursor;
3 end;
4 /
Package created.
-- Please note that I did some quick and dirty coding to switch
-- between the table names to show the results.
SQL> create or replace procedure p_dynamic_table
2 (pRefCur IN ref_types.r_cursor, pTable varchar2) as
3     emp_rec my_emp%ROWTYPE;
4     inv_rec test444%ROWTYPE;
5 begin
6    loop
7       IF UPPER(pTable) = 'MY_EMP' Then
8          fetch pRefcur into emp_rec;
9       Elsif UPPER(pTable) = 'INV' THEN
10          fetch pRefCur into inv_rec;
11       Else
12          exit;
13       End if;
14       exit when pRefcur%NOTFOUND;
15       If UPPER(pTable) = 'MY_EMP' Then
16          dbms_output.put_line(emp_rec.empno);
17       Elsif UPPER(pTable) = 'INV' Then
18          dbms_output.put_line(inv_rec.seq);
19       Else
20         Null;
21       End if;
22    end loop;
23 end;
24 /
Procedure created.
SQL> declare
2     vRefCur         ref_types.r_cursor;
3     vTableName      Varchar2(30);

This is my first experience with SOAP so please be gentle. Thanks.

I am implying that there is documentation in Metalink about the UTL_DBWS package and that it is in Metalink Note given above.
Since you asked, I now assume that you do not have access to Oracle's Support site called Metalink. If not, perhaps you could ask your colleagues to extract that note for you.

How to call a stored procedure using its package name in Oracle

hi
we're doing a JDBC scenario where we call a stored procedure(a.prc) using its package name(b)The stored procedure has In /Out/IN-OUT parameter.
i have got 2 queries:
1- How to call the stored procedure using it's package.
2- How to capture the In/Out parameter in the response.

hi Prateek
thanks for the reply.
However when i tried mapping it to Package.procedure, communication channel throws the error saying that Package.proceudre needs to be declared.
As i said , the procedure has IN-OUT parameter too.In oracle we need to write a block if we want to read the IN-OUT parameter.
How to get the IN-OUT parameter in XI?

Using Oracle package variables in JDBC.

Can anybody know how we can use Oracle Package variable in Java/JDBC?
I am using a insert trigger on a table which will initialize the login user
from a package variable.In my log4j configuration file, while inserting data into this table, I am updating the user with my current user. But the insert statement is not identifying the user and it is inserting null.
PLease let me know.

Siva,

It is not inserting the user in the tableI see no table, here. Only a variable in a PL/SQL package.
You also said:
But the same is working in Oracle.Do you mean in SQL*Plus?
Siva, try to forget how you are doing it, and tell me what you are trying to do.
Do you have some UPDATE_USER column in your database tables where you record the username of the person who did the operation?
Are you trying to write a trigger that populates this column?
If so, then all you need is something like:
create or replace trigger MY_TRIG
after insert or update
on MY_TABLE
for each row
begin
:new.UPDATE_USER := user;
end;Good Luck,
Avi.
P.S. By the way, what has this to do with OC4J?

Pros and cons of using email sending package in oracle 8.1.6

hi ,
i would like to know the advantages /disadvantages of using email sending package from oracle 8.1.6
compared to sending the same using say perl or php.
iam developing a site in php/oracle8.1.6 , in which iam supposed to create a payement module.whenever a user
register(for free trial or subscribing the site) i'll have to send him a welcoming mail.In addition to this iam also supposed to find out wether subscribers are paying cash at right time and if not send them reminder mails and other for related scenarios . i can do the same in Perl or PHP.but if iam not gaining much(say based on server performance or load) then i think i can go ahead with oracle package. when i tested it i found that its slow . what about the load that it may cause for the server (ours is linux ).
please do give inputs on this

Hi Ravi,
Thanks for your reply.
But I am specifically looking at pros and cons for web services. So the thread which you passed to me won't help.

no the only thing you can connect directly to in crystal are tables/views/stored proceduresto access the package you can write it into a store procedure so it can be executed that way

Conn problem SQl Server 64 Bit to Oracle 32 bit using SSIS packages

Hi,
I am facing the problem with connection SQL(64 bit) to Oracle(32 bit).
Please give me the solution/guide in right direction.
Environment is
S1-----> DBServer : 64 bit Windows Server 2003 Enterprise Edition, 64 Bit SQl Server EE, 64 Bit Oracle 10g Client
S2----->.AppServer :32 bit Windows Server 2003 Enterprise Edition, IIS, 32 Bit Oracle 10g Client & Server DB
I have doubt like....
1.Can i install 32 bit oracle also at (S1) 64 bit SQL Server(SSIS)
or only 64 bit oracle?
2.Running command line for SSIS packages at S1
i am unable to connect S1---->S2 using SSIS packages?
How can i solve this problem? pl give steps for going right direction.
Thanks

Hi,
I was setting up VMware vCenter 4.1 (probably the only well known and largely used product with this lethal mix) and needed to setup an ODBC access to Oracle on the 32 bit side of Windows to setup the Update Manager server component, which is still a 32 bit application)
The problem with Oracle configuration is that in no way I found a 32 bit ODBC registered driver after the setup (of the 32 bit client and the 64 database server). I tried some third party driver for oracle (e.g. easysoft).They registered in the 32 bit ODBC manager but they never got a successful connection.
Also if this vCenter requirement is questionable (more questionable considering that the setup of this 32 component is not allowed on a 32 separate OS, not because it is separate but because is a 32 bit OS) I would get it working.
Could suggest a way to get this working?
Thanks
Fabio D'AlfonsoWhen you install the Oracle client software on Windows (which is necessary to support ODBC, as the Oracle ODBC driver sits on top of the native client software) the ODBC driver is NOT installed by default. You have to go back and do a "custom" install and select the "Windows components".

Integrating Oracle APPS with APEX using popay_apex package...

Hi,
I am a newbie in APEX and tried to explore it only a few months back...
I must admit that this tool is Awesome..!!!
Also, I tried to integrate Oracle EBS 11i with APEX using [popay package |https://sites.google.com/a/popay.be/apex-on-apps/integration] and the integration was absolutely fantastic...!!!
h6. (Thanks Thierry for your impecabble work on developing and releasing this excellent package under BSD License !!!)
My question is,
I have created an Online Leave Application (OLA) in APEX which should retrieve the username from EBS Login and display the leave information of that particular user.
I have created the OLA in APEX and registered it in EBS as a form function and also attached it to a user responsibility.
When I run the form thru the EBS Responsibility logged in as a EBS user, the OLA Application opens in a new window...
But,
The username is retrieved as APPS instead of the user's login info.
because of this retrieval the global variable :APP_USER is storing the username as APPS and all my internal references with :APP_USER has been erroring with "NO DATA FOUND", since there is no user login as APPS.
Is there any way to overcome this bottleneck...?
Or Do I need to add any code in the APEX >Application >Security > VPD
Thanks in Advance...
Ben

Hi,
I have solved the issue, Thanks to Rod & Thierry !
I have created a cookie to send the apps username to my APEX application.
(Added this code snippet in the popay_apex.start_application procedure)
--------<CODE>------------------------------------------
l_user := fnd_global.USER_NAME;
OWA_COOKIE.send
+(NAME=>'APEX',+
VALUE=>l_user,
path=>'/');
---------<ENDS>----------------------------------------
(Created an on-load before header process at page 1 and fetched the cookie value to an application item.)
-----------<CODE>-------------------------------------
DECLARE
c OWA_COOKIE.cookie;
a wwv_flow_global.vc_arr2;
BEGIN
c := OWA_COOKIE.get('APEX');
a := htmldb_util.string_to_table(c.vals(1));
+:F101_USER := a(1);+
EXCEPTION WHEN OTHERS THEN
NULL;
END;
-------------<ENDS>---------------------------------------
It's a mashup of Rod & Thierry's work....!
Hat's off to Rod & Thierry !

Advice executing oracle package using shell script.

Hi,
I am writing one shell script that accepts several parameters as an input. These parameters are then passed while executing Oracle package procedure. However this procedure has an OUT parameter and I am not aware of how to receive that parameter in shell script.
Any advice /suggestion is really appreciated.
Below is the part of code I am using ... (P_OUT is suppose to be an out parameter for package)
sqlplus -s apps/apps <<endsql
whenever sqlerror exit failure
set serveroutput on size 10000
execute TEST_PKG.GET_COC_REQ ('$P_FROM_DATE','$P_TO_DATE','$P_MONTH_YY', '$P_OUT');
endsql

There is more than one way. Here an example :
SQL> select ename,sal from emp where empno=7902;
ENAME             SAL
FORD             3000
SQL> create or replace procedure extsal (
2     empnum in      number,
3     salout out     number)
4 is
5 begin
6     select sal into salout
7     from emp
8     where empno = empnum;
9* end;
SQL> /
Procedure created.
SQL> exit
Disconnected from Oracle9i Enterprise Edition Release 9.2.0.4.0 - Production
With the Partitioning, OLAP and Oracle Data Mining options
JServer Release 9.2.0.4.0 - Production
$ EMP=7902
$ SAL=`sqlplus -s scott/tiger << EOF
set head off
var salout number;
exec extsal ($EMP, :salout);
print salout
exit
EOF
`$ echo $SAL | awk -F. '{print $2}'
3000
