Using SQl from within Portal

can somebody please help me as I am starting to feel quite stupid. I create a report using Sql and get the following error
Error: ORA-00911: invalid character (WWV-11230)
Failed to parse as INTRANET - select name, surname, component, phone_number, building from PERSON_DETAILS where upper(surname) like 'A%';, SURNAME ASC, NAME ASC, COMPONENT ASC, BUILDING ASC (WWV-08300)
I run the same query under sql plus and it works. What am I doing wrong.
Thanks in advance.

Andy,
From the error message that you have posted, it looks that you are adding a semicolon ";" at the end of your query in your report. Do not add any ";" at the end of the query that you are writing and it should work fine.
e.g.
It should be:
"select * from emp"
and not:
"select * from emp;"
If you are still unable to rectify your problem then pls post the actual query that you are using.
Thanx,
Chetan.

Is there any way to use Quickview from within Spotlight search results?

I'm sure this has been answered previously, but my searches came up empty....
Is there any way to use Quickview from within Spotlight search results? I'd like to be able to do a Spotlight search and hit the space bar for a quick Quickview look before actually launching the program. I'm guessing this isn't possible, but thought I'd ask...

Thanks, Kappy.
Duh...I meant Quick Look. Sorry about that.
In any event, pressing the space bar in Spotlight just puts a space in the Spotlight search box - it doesn't open a Quick view of the highlighted item...

Using FLASHBACK_TRANSACTION_QUERY from within a procdure.

I am trying to create a procedure that will execute immediate the undo_sql found in the flashback_transaction_query.
I am using version 10.2
When i run the following code:
SELECT UNDO_SQL
FROM flashback_transaction_query
WHERE table_name = 'table'
AND logon_user = 'user';
UNDO_SQL
update "schema"."table" set "item" = '999' where ROWID = 'AAAVLeAAAAAAPCUAAA';
8 rows....
However when i embed the same code within a procedure it states i have insufficient privileges.
CREATE OR REPLACE PROCEDURE FIND_REDO_SQL
(tablename in varchar2,
username in varchar2)
IS
code varchar2(300);
CURSOR SQL_TRANS IS
SELECT UNDO_SQL
FROM flashback_transaction_query
WHERE table_name = tablename
AND logon_user = username;
BEGIN
OPEN sql_trans;
LOOP
FETCH SQL_TRANS INTO code;
EXECUTE IMMEDIATE code;
EXIT WHEN SQL_TRANS%NOTFOUND;
END LOOP;
END;
ERROR at line 1:
ORA-01031: insufficient privileges
ORA-06512: at "user.FIND_REDO_SQL", line 15
ORA-06512: at line 1
Is it the case that i cannot query flashback_transaction_query from within a proceduress.

Unfortunately not, i cannot see anywhere it may tell me why i cannot query this view via a procedure. Below is a list of privileges that i have.
Am i missing one that i really need.
Thanks,

Trying to use grep from within java,using exec command!

Hi all!
I would like to run a grep function on some status file, and get a particular line from it, and then pipe this line to another file.
Then perfom a grep on the new file to check how many of the lines above are present in that file, and then write this value to a new file.
The final file with a numerical value in it, i will read from within java,as one reads normal files!
I can run simple commands using exec, but am kinda stuck with regards to the above!
Maybe i should just do all the above from a script file and then run the script file from exec. However, i dont want to do that, because it kinda makes the system dependent,..what if i move to a new machine, and forget to install the script, then my program wont work!
Any advise?
Thanks
Regards

With a little creativity, you can actually do all that from the command line with a single command. It'll look a little crazy, but it can be done.
Whether the script exists on the local machine or not has zero to do with platform indpendence. You assumedly have to get the application onto the local machine, so including the script is not really an issue at all. However, you're talking about system independence, yet still wishing to run command line arguments? The two are mutually exclusive.

Can I use SimpleFdkCredential() from within a servlet?

I have a test program that logs in to content DB using SimpleFdkCredential, and works perfectly well run from the main() method of a Java class from within JDeveloper. When I try to login the same way from within the doGet() method of a servlet, doGet() hangs on the call to ManagersFactory.login() using the same SimpleFdkCredential that works in-process. The login() call doesn't throw any exceptions, it just sits there waiting[I presume], and never returns.
Is it necessary to use S2SFdkCredential for any authentication that originates from a servlet invocation? It seems that SimpleFdkCredential should work in this instance as well.
Thanks.

Can you check the Content DB http node log (application.log) with debug log level set, to see if the request from the servlet for the RemoteLoginManager Web Service was received?
I would also check that all libraries are present/accessible from servlet - and that there are no conflicts with existing libraries.
Also, check the servlet log for anything strange.
Finally, you could try remote debugging of your servlet .. e.g -Xdebug java option.

Cross-component: Call method of using component from within used component?

Hi,
I began diving into cross-component programming.
Meanwhile after having digged into some scenarios some questions came up to my mind that I am not able to answer myself. I would appreciate your help here!
Say we have to components. Comp A uses Comp B (hence, B is a component usage in A)
1) How to make them communicate not on a data level (via context binding) but on a process level, thus...
a) can I call A's method from within B? How is the approach on a general level? - as B can be used from totally different components (like A, A1, A2 ...)
b) perhaps the only way to do this is by firing events? If so, how can I react in A when an event in B (marked as interface event) gets fired? As it seems they do not get registered within A directly...
I guess the question seems to be a bit tricky. Nevertheless, I think there will be plenty of you out there who used to asked them the same questions before and came up with an approach. Would be nice to hear from you.
Best wishes,
Marc @sap1

Hi,
thanks for your reply!
Indeed, I think the nature of WDA would be just to somehow map the context from the used component to the other back and forth.
Nevertheless, what if I would like to invoke a method of the using component from inside the used component.
One sample for this requirement could be e.g.:
Component B offers a tree item and a send/verify button.
Component A uses B and has some restraints regarding what the selection should look like.
The user taps the button in B (at runtime in the view container of A), the context gets updated in A and B and in Component A the verifyWithOwnConstraints() method gets called (through B).
Thanks again,
Marc

Dynamic SQL from within DML - merging syntax issue #2

Further to my previous thread on a SQL - DML merging syntax issue, I have another problem with multiple conditions in the WHERE-clause:
vrb _retval decimal
vrb _val1 text
vrb _val2 text
_val1 = 'value1'
_val2 = 'value2'
SQL SELECT DIM1_ATTR1 FROM MYSCHEMA.DIM1_DIM WHERE COL1 = :_val1, AND COL2 = :_val2, INTO :_retval
The above SQL will return NA. If I use the text literals instead of the OLAP variables, the query just runs fine. Also, with a single condition (on COL1 only) the query returns the expected value.
A note in the help states that OLAP DML objects should clearly be sperated from the rest of the SQL but does not say how. I am using a colon before and a comma after as without them the line would not compile. I could not find any example that would use multiple conditions in the WHERE-clause however the help text indicates that it is possible.
Please help me, how.
Regards,
Csaba

It does work, although I applied the finishing touch by removing the commas as well!
Thanks a lot! Good job!

Client cookies from 10g Portal

Hello,
Is it possible to set persistent cookies by storing it on user's local hard drive from within Portal? I use a PL/SQL generated portal page to redirect to another web application outside Portal environment. Within this PL/SQL procedure, some cookies are created using owa_cookie.send procedure. But, when redirected to the other web application (same domain), all the cookies are lost. What is the ideal way to achieve this function?
Please help.
Thanks
Sandeep.

Ramesh,
This is the forum for Portal Content Areas. Please post your question on the PDK forum.

Oracle 9ias Reports within Portal

We have published several Oracle Reports to Portal by configuring Reports 9ias Reports Services and then by registering the Reports Server and Reports Definition Files within portal, this works as expected.
However, several of our Oracle reports point to another oracle database server, when these are run from within portal an exception is raised (REP-1202: ORACLE logon not specified). I can only assume that this is because the Oracle Reports run from within Portal are unable to connect to the external data source. Our existing portal reports connect work OK using a db link. Does anybody know a way to overcome this problem? We were thinking about Single Sign On or do we have to modify the portal PL-SQL package to provide a connection string for each Oracle Report?
Cheers
Dan

How did you try to connect to the remote DB?
Create a TNS entry on the node where your reports server runs, and specify it in the "userid" parameter: scott/tiger@myRemoteDB.

JMX from within an iView

Hi,
I've got problems using JMX from within an iView. I try to connect to the local MBeanServer using the following code:
[code]
public void doProcessBeforeOutput() throws PageException {
    Form myForm = this.getForm();
    // Get connection to MBeanServer
    InitialContext ctx;
    try {
      ctx = new InitialContext();
      Object objref = ctx.lookup("jmx");
      MBeanServer conn = (MBeanServer)objref;
    } catch (NamingException e) {
      e.printStackTrace();
[/code]
The lookup returns an object of type "com.sap.pj.jmx.server.interceptor.MBeanServerInterceptorChain" which should implement
the Interface "MBeanServer". Anyhow I get the following error while trying to cast the returned object to type MBeanServer:

Can you run SQL in the portal and create a drop down list??

Can anyone tell me if its possible to create a drop down list using sql in the portal?

I want to be able to run sql when I post a discoverer worksheet with a parameter and have the values from the sql pass into the worksheet.
Is that possible???

I created a lov but i cannot post it on my portlet. When i go to post a portlet, under the db_link, portlet reposistory it does not show.? Also, how do make the connection to the discoverer worsheets to this lov?
