UTL_MAIL, ORA-29261: bad argument

Hi, I'm sort of a newbie PLSQL and this is my first post here. I saw that people asked this question before and I saw concerned responses. But here's the situation:

BEGIN
        UTL_MAIL.SEND('[email protected]', 
            '[email protected]');
END;

This is the code that I'm running. But I get the error indicated in the title. Here is what I tried so far; I installed UTl_MAIL packets because they are not pre installed according to http://download.oracle.com/docs/cd/B19306_01/appdev.102/b14258/u_mail.htm#i1001699, and then I set the parameter SMTP_OUT.

show parameter smtp_out_server
---
smtp_out_server                      string   10.200.123.135

But I still get the error. I'm running on 10g release 2 XE on my local, and I am able to ping the e-mail server.

UTL_MAIL is an excellent example of how not to write a bunch of IMO... and is kind of disgusting to see this junk programming of Oracle.

I think you simply run into a bug because you do not specify the optional material and/or message parameters. At the very least, include the subject.

Here is an example (10.2 XE):

SQL> exec utl_mail.send( sender => '', recipients => '', subject => 'Test', message => 'Test email' );

PL/SQL procedure successfully completed.

SQL> exec utl_mail.send( sender => '', recipients => '', subject => 'Test' );

PL/SQL procedure successfully completed.

SQL> exec utl_mail.send( sender => '', recipients => '' );
BEGIN utl_mail.send( sender => '', recipients => '' ); END;

As you can see, do not specify the object (optional parameter) causes an error (trying to encode the header using the ENCODE_HEADER() function according to the UTL_MAIL package source).

ORA-39000 bad dump file specification

Hi all
I'm trying to exercise a windows scheduler job that will allow to create backup of my database every day once. So this is why I have created a batch file "PREPROD_BACKUP.bat", which contains data:
off @echo
setlocal EnableDelayedExpansion
expdp PARFILE SYSTEM/Leosoft@XE = export_dump.par
The export_dump.par file contains information:
DIRECTORY = preprod_cron_jobs
DUMPFILE = ratormonitor_! date: ~ 10, 4. Date: 6 ~, 2! ! Date: ~ 4, 2.! DMP
LOGFILE = ratormonitor.log
SCHEMAS = RATOR_MONITORING, RATOR_MONITORING_CONFIGURATION
CONTENT = ALL
When I try to run the "PREPROD_BACKUP.bat" I get error like 'ORA-39001:invalid argument value', ' ORA-39000 dump bad file specification ", ORA - 39087:directory name ratormonitor_! date is not valid. I try to create the dump with current datetimestamp file attached to the file for the name of the dump file should look like this "ratormonitor_2015.02.03.37.029062831", but we get an error.

Looks like you're under Windows.

This will not work:

! date: ~ 10, 4. Date: 6 ~, 2! ! Date: ~ 4, 2!

If you use the following syntax:

%Date:~10,4%%date:~6,2%.%D ate: ~ 4, 2%

Variable with a value. «PURGE error: bad Argument Type.»
Hi, my 50G calculator accuses a value for the variable 'X' but I can't find it in any directory, and when I try to delete I get the message "' PURGE error: bad Argument Type." " I also have the theta variable with the same problem. How can I remove the value of these variables? TKS

In addition to Make suggestions, two other possibilities come to mind: 'X' can be a directory object (which would cause the error to the wrong Type of Argument because non-empty directory objects cannot be purged by PURGE, but must be purged by PGDIR), or it could be a local variable (which can only be served by putting an end to the environment that created which is usually a program). So if Make suggestions don't work, try foster 'X' PGDIR and if that does not work, try KILL (which ends all the current environments).

If those WHO do not work, please do 'X' TYPE HOME and tell us what object type 'X'.

LabVIEW 2015 do not install it, autorun.exe "met a bad argument.

Hello

I recently got a new laptop and tried to install labVIEW on it. He started to install, but the system loses power in the middle and close. I deleted the National Instruments folder in Program Files (x 86) and retried, but when I run autorun.exe said he "met a bad argument" with a red 'X'. So I tried to launch setup.exe, and he starts, but bypasses LabVIEW and continues for the module in real time, where it says "LabVIEW 2015 must be installed before you install the real time module. Any help would be appreciated.

ACS and "bad argument key.

Today our ACS (ver 4.1 on windows 2003 server) suddenly stopped working. We use it to authenticate and authorize the main access to the switches via Ganymede. I see "bad argument key" errors in ACS, but the shared secret is the same on both sides (switch vs ACS), so it's not a problem.

A "debug" on a switch Ganymede says:

There are two servers, ACS, they sync and they both have the same problem.

Accessibility is not the problem.

What should I check for?

Since it is a new show you could get more and delivers better answers if you start a new thread rather than adding what may appear as most comments on a continuous.

However, since you asked the question here, I have a comment and a suggestion. This production line:

QA: TAC +: invalid package AUTHENTIC/START/CONNECTION/ASCII (control keys).

suggests that something (probably the shared key for authentication of the device) is not properly synchronized between your device and the RADIUS server.

My suggestion would be to search for in the report of attempts failed on the RADIUS server and see if you see the authentication attempt of this unit. If that is what the GANYMEDE server say about the cause of the failure?

When you try to access my library, I get an error message stating "bad argument #1 to 'loadstring' (string expected, got Boolean).
I have already uninstalled and reinstalled Lightroom and it always appears.

It may be a bad plugin. Try disabling all plugins, then by restarting LR. To disable the plugins:

1 file > plug-in Manager

2. Select a plugin in the left column.

3. in the right column, scroll down to the Status section.

4. If necessary, expand the section status by clicking on the triangle to the left of the 'status '.

5. click on disable.

Hi Donald,.

Sorry for the inconvenience.

This happens usually when the script does not have enough permissions to manage this.

Please make sure that this folder applications, and two libraries have full read and write.

Also if it happens again, please tell me if you use Bridge for example or directly with Photoshop.

Thank you

ORA-01428: "NULL" argument is out of range

I have the code below in one of our proc stored. When this proc was called with the parameters, the stmt SELECT in the code below passed NULL values to variables (v_col_1, T_DATE). Y at - it a possiblity the code below could raise the error: ORA-01428: "NULL" argument is out of range.

Northwest says:
Under what conditions can we get ORA-01428: argument * "NULL" * by mistake?

What is your purpose here? Creation of a working process or reproduce the error?

The way you wrote that the procedure is old fashioned (to put it kindly).
When looping through a query result, you better use the modern form:

declare
  cursor c_name is
    select * from dual; -- you complex quers goes here
 begin
  for r_name in c_name loop
   -- do what you want with the current record in r_name
  end loop;
end;

or (eaven better) that the suggested RDA if possible.
I bet that you will get the ORA-01428 this way.

You should not try to fix a solution error prone if more accomplished are available!

Good bye

OpenProject bad argument when running SaveAsProjectTemplate.jsx

Hello
I created a template project, RoboHelp 8 and deployed the team for use in a future project.
Six authors have been able to load the Project Explorer scripts, then you run the SaveAsProjectTemplate.jsx script to make a project template. An author has tried to execute this script and faced the error bad argument openProject once they have accepted the default location.
The installation process is the same for all machines in seven, he activated/registered without a hitch and all available updates were performed on the seven machines (we all 8.0.2.208).
Anyone know, please, why this error could be produced on a machine?
Thank you very much
Nigel

Hi Nigel,

I don't see your last post when I posted my previous answer. Using Windows 7 can indeed be a problem. I had a problem with writing the files when the user account control has been activated. This blocks the script write files to the locations protected like C:\Users and C:\Program Files. He did not produce any errors, files were simply not created or modified and the script trotted.

You can turn off UAC for now and run the script again?

User-defined function: BAD ARGUMENT TYPE, ERROR

I am creating a function defined by the user, named DOTAN, to calculate the angle between two vectors X and Y. The UDF looks like this: DEFINE (' DOTHAN (X, Y) = ACOS (DOT (X, Y) / (ABS (X) * ABS (Y)))')--> (see pic attached to the actual Calculator display). The problem is that I can not set because as soon as I hit ENTER I get the warning: DEFINE ERROR: wrong Type of Argument. I tested each component separately and I am sure that the problem is with the help of DOT (X, Y) inside a UDF, but I don't know why. Maybe I'm missing some setting related to the use of functions which take an argument that is greater than 1 inside a UDF. Just guessing. Any idea?

Thank you

for some reason, the DOWRY is a commandment and not a function for the 50G.

You cannot use DOT in a function, you maybe wrote a program

in RPL
```
'--> x, y   '  x y DOT  XY ABS ABS * / ACOS   ' ""DOTHAN"STO
[3.0] [0.3] DOTAN

back 90 degrees
```
I never use the algebraic mode but I guess it's the same thing with a program...

error report: ORA-29262: bad URL
Hi friends,

When I tried to reorder the items in my form through drag and drop operation. I tried to change the display of the form of two rows to three rows.

I am facing this error-> report error: ORA-29262: wrong URL.

My Version of Oracle Apex is - > 3.1.1.00.09
My version of the database is - > 10.2.0.1.0

Please let me know if anyone of you has solutions.
Hello

I had this error, I think it's related to the bug listed on Metalink as 6360779 which is would have been set in Application Express 3.1.1.00.09 see http://www.oracle.com/technology/products/database/application_express/html/3.1.1_patchnote.html?_template=/ocom/print

However, I use the version above to the apex and received the error, I found that I had put a % at the end of a label sign, that caused the error. Remove the % sign, helped him drag / move to continue.

Hope this helps
