Hi,
is it possible to give an example of how your data looks like? What are these special characters? Oracle Text includes option like printjoins and skipjoins which give special meanings to characters. So an example will guide us for helping you.

Error while creating an Index in SP14..Please help.. :(

Hello All,
Im working on SP14.
Got an error as below while creating an Index:
" <b>Index could not be created; creating index failed: general configuration error (Errorcode 2030)"</b>
Whats wrong..?
Please help.
Awaiting Reply.
Thanks and Warm Regards,
Ritu R Hunjan

Hi Ritu & Subrato,
I'm affraid Errorcode 2030 is related to TREX user administrative rights in the OS.
Please take a look at this thread and the suggestions give there to fix your problem:

Privileges require for a user to create CONTEXT indexes

Hi all,
   RDBMS: 11.2.0.3
   SO.......: OEL 6.3
   What are the necessary privileges that have to be granted to a user to be able to create CONTEXT Indexes, for example. I have granted the CTXAPP to my user, but when i tryied to create the CONTEXT Index with the command bellow, i got an "insufficient privilege" error message.
   CREATE INDEX USR_DOCS.IDX_CTX_TAB_DOCUMENTOS_01 ON USR_DOCS.TAB_DOCUMENTOS(DOCUMENTO) INDEXTYPE IS CTXSYS.CONTEXT PARAMETERS ('SYNC (ON COMMIT)');

It depends on whether the user is trying to create the index on his own table in his own schema or on somebody else's table in somebody else's schema. The following demonstrates minimal privileges (quota could be smaller) for user usr_docs to create the index on his own table in his own schema and for my_user to create the index on usr_docs table in usr_docs schema.

Specifying nologging while creating spatial indexes

Hello
Is it possible to specify NOLOGGING parameter while creating spatial indexes? When i am trying to specify this i get the following error message
SQL> create index BUSH_sx on BUSH(BUSHLOCATION) indextype is mdsys.spatial_index nologging;
create index BUSH_sx on BUSH(BUSHLOCATION) indextype is mdsys.spatial_index nologging
ERROR at line 1:
ORA-29850: invalid option for creation of domain indexes
Even i cannot alter the index with NOLOGGING option. Does Oracle allow this option in spatial indexes?
Regards
sam

I am looking into the logging issues.
SDO_COMMIT_INTERVAL determines the number records in a commit chunk during index BUILD, I noted this was not documented raised doc BUG 6414510 for this
and SDO_DML_BATCH_SIZE manual entries....
Specifies the number of index updates to be processed in each batch of updates after a commit operation. The default value is 1000. For example, if you insert 3500 rows into the spatial table and then perform a commit operation, the updates to the spatial index table are performed in four batches of insert operations (1000, 1000, 1000, and 500).
The sdo_dml_batch_size parameter can improve application performance, because Spatial can preallocate system resources to perform multiple index updates more efficiently than successive single index updates; however, to gain the performance benefit, you must not perform commit operations after each insert operation or at intervals less than or equal to the sdo_dml_batch_size value. You should not specify a value greater than 10000 (ten thousand), because the cost of the additional memory and other resources required will probably outweigh any marginal performance increase resulting from such a value.
====================================
I have found if you are doing repeated inserts/updates etc of 100,000 plus records despite the above, there is an advantage or appears to be! ;-) for setting it to 50,000.
it can be adjusted for an index that has been built
update SDO_INDEX_METADATA_TABLE
set SDO_DML_BATCH_SIZE = <Desired Value>
where sdo_index_owner = <INDEX/SCHEMA Owner>
and sdo_index_name = 'INDEX_NAME';
Clearly every system will be different experiment on test systems only....
Another area which can generally impact DML is undo_retention holding blocks when
you just don't care.
good settings when you dont wish to hold it
Look at SQL> show parameter undo
undo_management string AUTO
undo_retention integer 1 <<<< One second
undo_tablespace string MAKE Sure its big enough
with 10.2.0.x seems to be an issue with setting it to 0 but I've not had time to investigate
will do later. Also at 10.2.0.2 VERY large DML can sometimes hit ORA-600's the reasons are complex if you do hit them open a service request with support. There is a patch to cope with 95% of the issues. The other 5% I'm in the process of nailing and for those the current workaround is
update SDO_INDEX_METADATA_TABLE
set SDO_DML_BATCH_SIZE = 1
where sdo_index_owner = <INDEX/SCHEMA Owner>
and sdo_index_name = 'INDEX_NAME';
========================================
Dont do this without checking the 600 with support....
========================================
rather rambling....regarding the redo watch this space...

Why I can't create ConText index?

Hi everyone.

Rights issue when creating context index.

Hi,
We have two users, "app" and "appsys" . with most permissions granted through roles.
"app" has just enough permissions for the application to run. No update/delete/etc on most tables, just select and (on a select few) insert rights.
"appsys" is the "crew" user, with enough rights for basic day-to-day administration and most upgrade scripts that come with new code releases.
Other than that, it's a pretty much default EE 11.2.0.1.0.
Therefore, my first preference was to have 'appsys' create the desired text index for use by 'app':
CREATE INDEX app.table_text_ix ON app.table (xml)
     INDEXTYPE IS CTXSYS.CONTEXT PARAMETERS('SYNC (EVERY "TRUNC(SYSDATE + 1) + 03/24") TRANSACTIONAL');
Have also tried the bare:
CREATE INDEX app.table_text_ix ON app.table (xml)
     INDEXTYPE IS CTXSYS.CONTEXT;
Both give the same result:
Error at Command Line:1 Column:19

I've tried granting just about anything but the kitchen sink to either user, both direct and indirect, but it still won't let me. Even SYS seems to be missing something.
Or rather, I seem to be missing something. But what? I've read a few prior threads about this issue and tried most suggestions: still no go.
Things I've GRANTed, as per documentation:
- CTXAPP role
- execute on ctxsys.ctx_ddl
- RESOURCE
- CONNECT
Other privileges it already had OR that I've tried granting:
EXECUTE ANY PROCEDURE
CREATE SESSION
UNLIMITED TABLESPACE
CREATE TABLE
CREATE ANY TABLE
ALTER ANY TABLE
DROP ANY TABLE
CREATE CLUSTER
CREATE ANY INDEX
ALTER ANY INDEX
DROP ANY INDEX
CREATE SEQUENCE
CREATE PROCEDURE
CREATE ANY PROCEDURE
CREATE ANY JOBB
CREATE TRIGGER
CREATE ANY TRIGGER
CREATE TYPE
CREATE OPERATOR
CREATE INDEXTYPE
Have also tried the grant select on sys.all_users to public; solution from a previous thread.
So... I'm lost... what am I missing?

I don't know if what you have posted is pseudo-code or what you actually ran. Table is not a valid name for a table. It is best to post a copy and paste of an actual run from SQL*Plus, including line numbers and errors. I suggest that you start with a very simple example, avoiding reserve names like table and xml, just creating a simple text index on a table with a varchar2 column, as the same user that owns the table, checking everything along the way. Once you get that working, then you can add the other things one at a time. I have provided a script for you to run and post the results of below, followed by a run of the script on my system to show what you should get.

Creating context index on blob-field

I'm running Oracle 8.1.6 on Suse Linux 6.4.
Trying to create an database via dbassist or dbassist created skripts
will fail, if try to include interMedia.
So used the possibility to copy a sample datebase from CD.
Who knows about a Solution for this?
So configured listener.ora und tnsnames.ora to use external procedures.
Creating an user with cxtapp-role works.
Creating ctx preferences works.
But.......
Creating an index on blob field will fail.
The Error Message tells :
create index doc_index on textdokument(text)
FEHLER in Zeile 1:

Funny, there is no directory $ORACLE_HOME/ctx/bin
and there there is no ctxhx anywhere!
Reinstalling InterMedia will not help.
Are there no Filters within the Linux-Release?
Whats the problem like ?
null

I encountered similar problem running Oracle 8.1.6.on Windows 2000 Prof. I created and then populated a table, by indexing one of the CLOB columns I got following error messages:
Create index system.AI on Tabel1(Text5) indextype is ctxsys.context

ORA-06512: in Zeile 1
The error message tell me that something is not supported for German text so the indexing fails. Does it mean there is no German support in IMT? Does somebody know what's wrong? Any workaround & Where to look at? Thanks.

Error creating Context Index

Hi,
Iam trying to create an context index in a table. After a logn run it gave an error. end-of-file on communication channel. How to resolve this error. And do i have any possibility to continue my index creation. How to recover it?
Urgent Help needed......
Thanks,
Sri

"End of file on communication channel" nearly always means the Oracle background process has crashed, which means either an Oracle bug or a hardware issue.
You would need to look at the database alert logs to get more information about the crash.
You probably won't be able to resume the indexing job from where it crashed, but will need to drop the index and recreate it.

The temp files should get deleted after each file is processed.
"Forever" is meaningless. How long does it take, and for how many documents? Text indexes do take a long time to create - can be measured in days in some situations.
The errors you're seeing in ctx_user_index_errors are probably caused by damaged documents - files that the filter thinks it recognizes, but then fails to process according to the expected layout for those documents. If there are only a few of these, then I wouldn't worry too much - if there are lots (> 1% of your total, perhaps) then it's definitely worth investigating further.
Scanned documents stored as images (jpegs, tiffs, etc) cannot be indexed. Generally the filters should recognize and skip such documents without errors.

Error while creating an index for NVARCHAR2 datatype

At that time some insertion & selection was going on but those were not on this table.
Why this happened ? As far as i know oracle in AUM oracle doesn't overwrite existing undo data as long as there
is free space available.
While searching on web i found one post as below:

Thanks guys for your prompt replys.
Yes i've monitored v$TEMPSEG_USAGE and DBA_SEGMENTS for the progress of the index creation, but this are not related to my question and yes i could use nologging or parallel (in gact i'm going to try all these options for faster index creation). On my original post i missed below part, please go through it:
While searching on web i found one post as below:
metalinknote #396863.1 which describes it
=> 2) When are UNDO segments OFFLINED?
Answer:
SMON decides on the # of undo segs to offline and drop based on the max transaction concurrency over a 12 hour period in 9i. This behavior is altered in 10g where the max concurrency is maintained over a 7-day period. Moreover, in 10g SMON doesn't drop the extra undo segs, but simply offlines them. SMON uses the same values with "fast ramp up" to adjust the number of undo segments online.

I says "SMON decides on the # of undo segs to offline and drop based on the max transaction concurrency over a 12 hour period in 9i.".
what does it mean ? Is this the cause for me, as my query war 12 hours old and my undo_retention is set to 5 hours ?
I'll be very grateful if some one explains the cause.

ORA-29855 while creating spatial index

Hello, I am having trouble creating a spatial index.
When I execute the following:
create index la2003geoidx on polygons("GEOMETRY1")
indextype is mdsys.spatial_index;
I get the error
ERROR at line 1:
ORA-29855: error occurred in the execution of ODCIINDEXCREATE routine
I've seen a few topics in this forum that mention this error, but in my case that is the ONLY error message.

whew. had trouble with the login.
Hi Daniel,
we are using 8.1.6 with the latest patches available. We have been using a spatial database for some time, but have never gotten the indexing to work. We always got wierd stuff, but now it's just the one error message.
We are using Geomedia Pro 4 to access the data on the client end, if that makes a difference

Abnormality while creating Context Menu

Hi All,
          When i was working with context menus it is found that the context menus having label like "Copy" "Delete" are not been created..
Any Idea..
Thanks And Regards

If found out that some labels are simply not displayed. If you create a custom menu item with a label like "Adobe" for example, it won't appear.
I also created this method to ease the addition of menu items:
             private function createMenuItem(
                 menu:ContextMenu,
                 handler:Function,
                 caption:String,
                 separator:Boolean,
                 enabled:Boolean = true,
                 visible:Boolean = true):void
                 var menuItem:ContextMenuItem = new ContextMenuItem(caption, separator, enabled, visible);
                 menuItem.addEventListener(ContextMenuEvent.MENU_ITEM_SELECT, handler);
                 menu.customItems.push(menuItem);
