What's wrong with Oracle EBS

Ladies and Gentlemen:
It has been a little over a year since I started struggling with EBS. I have tried it on Windows XP and I have tried it with Linux. It is my humble conclusion that Oracle EBS is a sub-standard program that works only half of the time. I do not know how customers tolerate this useless system. The only thing that is good about Oracle is that it has created a lot of employment opportunities for a lot of sub-standard DBAs and developers who would otherwise be unemployable. The only reason Oracle got successful, in my opinion, is due to the fact that it is the only company selling a product to mid-range enterprises.
Unbreakable linux is another joke oracle plays on its customers. I do not know why people tolerate a program that does not always work unless you keep chasing those rpms all over the web to complete a task. and those rpms (who knows how to install them) are written by aspiring programmers who do not do a good job, some other aspiring programmer has to finish the job for them by writing another God-forsaken RPM. I installed OEL4.7, it does not even recognize my network cards or any of my plug and play devices ( forgive me Microsoft, for give me Windows, I am coming home). I install OEL 5.2, it needs all kinds of RPM it is not funny.
All in all, Oracle got a lot of people (and companies) by the ball. It keeps churning out those patches and RUPs like crazy and charge clients for service and maintenace agreements. money keeps coming.
Up until now, I do not have to work with Oracle EBS. But now I have been offered a job with a large employer. If I accept the offer, I would have to work with Oracle and because of that I having a second thought..
I know I am gonna get a lot of criticism from a lot of people, but it is the honest truth.
Hello SAP (it is time to try SAP)

Hello Dear,
We are sorry that you were not successful in installing / using EBS.
But, there are a lot of documents over the net , metalink, forums etc....to help you if you have any problem rather than bashing Oracle.
As you are going to say Hello to SAP, fyi, even people using SAP bashes SAP when they trouble in acheiving some thing.
So, I suggest first try to resolve the problem by approaching any media and then use it and see the Power of Oracle EBS.
I hope you understand.
Thanks for trying Oracle :)

Integrating with Oracle EBS using XMLGateway issues

Hi all,
I'm trying to integrating with Oracle EBS using XMLGateway, and I meet some issues. Here are the steps I did.
1) Update DATA_MAP.xgm file and DATA_TEST.dtd file into XMLGateway repository
2) Define transactions in EBS client:
Party Type: Supplier
Transaction Type: Cat
Transaction Subtype: Dog
Transaction Description: test for cat and dog
Standard Code: OAG
External Transaction Direction: IN
External Transaction Type: Cat
External Transaction Subtype: Dog
Queue: APPLSYS.ECX_IN_OAG_Q
3) Define trading partners in EBS client
Operating Unit: Vision Operations
Trading Partener Type: Supplier
Trading Partener name: ****
Trading Partener site: ****
Company Admin email: [email protected]
... other transaction info defined in step 2)
4) Send inbound message using OTA send Inbound Page. It succeed.
a. The return page display status code 1000 with status discription OK.
b. From the transaction monitor, I can see the inbound message was processed successfully.
c. From the database, I can see that this inbound message first arrived in ecx_inqueue table, and then moved to ecx_in_oag_q_table. And last disappeared from the ecx_in_oag_q_table. That means XMLGateway process the inbound message in transaction queue successfully.
5) Send inbound message using SOAPUi. It failed.
a. The return page display status code 200. That means the inbound message has been sent to inbound message queue successfully.
b. From transaction monitor, I cannot see this request record.
c. From the database, I can saw that this inbound message first arrived in wf_ws_jms_in table, then disappeared. It didn't moved to transaction queue which I selected when defined transations, so I guess it wasn't processed by XMLGateway. Using the following SQL, but cannot find error reason.
select * from ecx_inbound_logs where process_id='******************'
select * from apps.ecx_error_msgs where error_id='*****'
I guess the reason is something happend to prevent inbound message to move from inbound message queue to transaction queue. So XMLGateway cannot process this inbound message.
From XMLGateway user guide, I understand that there are three kinds of inbound queues(ECX_INBOUND which OTA uses, WF_WS_JMS_IN which soap over https uses, WF_JMS_IN which JMS uses), does't mention what are the corresponding transaction queues? Can they share the same transaction queue? Also see from this user guide, ecx_in_oag_q (transaction queue) is only for ecx_inbound queue. But when I try to define a transaction in EBS client, it seems that only ecx_in_oag_q can be chosen. I wondered why my second senarios failed when I used the same transation and trading partner. The message already arrived at wf_ws_jms_in and then disappeared. Is that because I selected the wrong transaction queue when defining transactions? But it was really cannot select any other transaction queues there. Or I missed some steps when using SOAP over HTTP/S?
Appreciate you can give me some suggestions. Hope to hear your voice. Thanks in advance.

C# - What's wrong with a table called JOBS? :(

Post Author: Gee
CA Forum: .NET
Hi
I've just moved up to .NET 2005. and am having a big problem right now with one report in particular.
The report uses an Oracle table called "JOBS". It worked just fine in .NET 2003. Now though, it comes up with the dreaded field name not known error.
So, I tried to just do a completely new report with just ONE field from the JOBS table on it. It doesn't want to know!
I then copied (so it was IDENTICAL) the table structure and data to a new one called "JOBSTEST". The simple report worked (once I'd changed it to use the JOBSTEST fields of course)
I deleted the original JOBS table, copied a new JOBS table from the JOBSTEST table and... it didn't work again!
So, what's wrong with having a table called "JOBS"? Because that seems to be the problem!
Oh... it works ok on the development machine. Just not any other. ALL other reports work fine!
Thank you so much for your time in helping me

What's wrong with this function

What's wrong with this Function(PL/SQL) in this formaula column definition in Reports 6i
function currdateFormula return Date is
curr_date date;
begin
select to_char(sysdate, 'DD-MM-YYYY') into curr_date from dual;
return(curr_date);
end;
I get the following error in compiling
REP-1401. 'currdateformula'.Fatal PL/SQL error occured. ORA-01843 not a valid month.
The SQL select to_char(sysdate, 'DD-MM-YYYY') from dual; worked well in SQL Plus prompt.
I got a clean compile when i use just sysdate in the function (see below).
function currdateFormula return Date is
curr_date date;
begin
select sysdate into curr_date from dual;
return(curr_date);
end;
Appreciate your help
Raja Lakshmi

hello,
what you are trying to do :
fetch the current date and return it as the result of the formula-column.
what you are actually doing :
fetch the current date, convert it to text, assign this text to a date-variable which causes an implicit type-conversion.
in your case you create a date-string with the format dd-mm-yyyy. the implicit conversion then tries to convert this string back to date using the NLS settings of your session. depending on your NLS_LANG and NLS_DATE_FORMAT this might work, if your session-date-format is dd-mm-yyyy which obviously it is NOT as you get the error.
what you should do :
select sysdate into curr_date from dual;
this fetches the sysdate and stores it in your date-variable. there is no type conversion needed what so ever.

the oracle reports team

What's wrong with my code for comparing date retreived from db and sysdate?

Hi all,
I need to retrive date from the DB and compare it to system date.i have posted the code below.i get java.sql.SQL Exception:Io exception:Socket closed.
What's wrong with the code?please help me.Thanks in advance.
public boolean date() throws IOException, SQLException {
Connection con1;
long millis = System.currentTimeMillis();
Timestamp timestamp = new java.sql.Timestamp(millis);
ResultSet rs4 = null;
try
Class.forName("oracle.jdbc.driver.OracleDriver");
con = DriverManager.getConnection(
"jdbc:oracle:thin:@abc:1605:xyz",
"cdf", "cdf");
Statement stmt_exp = con.createStatement();
rs4 = stmt_exp.executeQuery("SELECT DATE FROM TABLE_NAME")
while (rs4.next()) {
Timestamp timestamp2 = rs4.getTimestamp("expire_date");
con1.close();
catch (Exception e)
e.printStackTrace();
finally
//ResultSet rs4 = null;
//Timestamp timestamp2;
Timestamp timestamp2 = rs4.getTimestamp("expire_date");
if (timestamp2.compareTo(timestamp) < 0) //sysdate < exp date
return true;
} else {
return false;
}

Didn't you understand what BalusC said? You're closing the connection and then trying to use the ResultSet. The ResultSet will be closed when you close the connection so you can't use it anymore.
You should close the connection last thing in your code, probably in a finally. And after you close your ResultSet and Statement.
People on the forum help others voluntarily, it's not their job.

What's wrong with 8.1.7 export utility

I was trying to export an Oracle 8.1.6 database by using export
utility from Oracle 8.1.7 client. But I get a lot of errors.
When I try to export from Oracle 8.1.6 client everything goes
smoothly.
What's wrong with export utility in Oracle 8.1.7 client??
regards,
Evan

It is because for each new version there is more and different
things that need to be exported so the x+1 exp utility expects
the new things to be there and fails if they are not.
The reason I suspect Oracle did this is that most exports are
done on the server. It is not generaly a good idea to run exp
across a network for performance reasons (ie you move the entire
database). As most exports are done on the server the
comapability is not an issue.most bullet proof solution.

What's wrong with this refresh group?

You can try passing in -username and -password arguments. If you don't
like the idea of storing username and password in plain text in a

What's wrong with my browsers?

When i first got my macbook the internet was going really slow but then i changed the dns server to 4.2.2.2 and sometimes change it to 4.2.2.1 and the internet got better but now my browsers are acting funny.
One moment i'm surfing webpages with safari or firefox.... Chatting with AdiumX or MS Messenger... and suddenly it just stops... Msn is getting time-out's, Safari says I'm not connected.
But Airport sais it is still connected to my wireless network (with all the black bar's filled). It has valid IP adress etc, But everywhere I want to go on the internet it sais I'm not connected.
When I disconnect the airport en let it reconnect with my wireless network, the connection is fine.
how can i fix this?

Most users shouldn't be manually entering DNS addresses, and those DNS addresses you mention probably aren't intended for end users. Is Level3 your ISP?
That doesn't answer 'what's wrong with my browsers?', but a good start would be to configure your network according to your ISP's instructions. If you have DNS problems then, you might try using OpenDNS.
