• Update page APEX when executing process on the database

  Hello
  
  I create a package on the database, which performs certain actions. These actions can be considered in different steps in a workflow, but this package does that automatically. Would be nice, if the user gets information about what happens during the process execution.
  
  So my question is: is it possible to update the information on a page of the APEX, during execution of the process?
  I am thinking something like this:
  
  Step 1: done
  Step 2: done
  Step 3: processing...
  Step 4:
  Step 5:
  
  While the substantive process on the database is running.
  
  Is it possible, and if so, how has been done?

• If you can get the steps as different records (for example if they are inserted in a table or a lined pipe function can return these documents), then create a new SQL report based on an SQL query, fetch records (possibly ordering him by any column to store these ID information or insert the date)
  
• Then add a JS code that refreshes the report automatically after a predetermined period (5 seconds or more), you can find this code snippet in this thread: {message identifier: = 9491610}

  Oh, I see, I didn't know that that was part of the error message.

  I just run the SQLiteDemo in the OS 7.1 9900 Simulator that comes installed with the 7.1 Eclipse plug.  It works fine (once I had added the SD card of course).  If you can't run it, then I suspoect you have something very corrupted in your installation.  I re-download and reinstall Eclipse from here:

• Current version of the data in the database has changed since the user initiated the update process.

  Hello

  I get this error message: when I update a table.

  • Current version of the data in the database has changed since the user initiated the update process. version of current line identifier = "4975F66067C6EE412FF51DF46B8C4916" line application version identifier = "31163419BE48C198DE88A34AD12FE4D2".

  I get this message when a process is used to run an update on the same table.

  BEGIN

  RUN IMMEDIATELY "UPDATE CONTRATS_MAINTENANCE SET EMAIL_SENDED = 0 WHERE ID =: 1' WITH THE HELP OF: P27_ID;"

  END;

  There is an automated line (DML) process process on the table on this page.

  
  

  I understand that I get this error message because I update the database EMAIL_SENDED in the same table column and tha the automated process line try to update the same table...

  On this page, I want to the column EMAIL_SENDED always has the value 0 (zero). It is a database column

  How to do?

  Thank you for your help.

  Christian

  If you try to make it through a normal form. So in this case email_sended is getting two values one of your FORM and one of your update statement.

  To resolve this problem, you can code in hard EMAIL_SENDED point the value '0' and keep only the database column.

  If the whenver update you will automatically take the value 0.

  Another solution would be to remove this column from your FORM and then update by creating a process after submit.

• major differences of exadata database, listener, process than the normal RAC environment?

  I would ask for any input about the major differences of exadata database, listener, process than the normal RAC environment.

  I know now the exadata have not only SCAN listeners, but many other listeners. expert here can provide clarification?

  Thank you

  All the right questions... Welcome to the world of Exadata.

  These are questions that could get into a lot more detail and discussion than a forum post. At a high level, you certainly don't want delete all indexes on Exadata. However, you need to index and an indexing strategy will change on Exadata. After you move a database from one not Exadata Exadata environment you are probably more indexed. Indexes used for OLTP transactions real - looking one or a few lines among others will usually quickly with an index. The index used to avoid a percentage of records but always returning number of records can often be moved. On the index depends on the nature of the workload and your application. If you have a control on the index, then test your queries and DML with the index (s) invisible. Check your implementation plan, the columns io_cell_offload in v$ sql, smart scan wait events to ensure you get intelligent analysis... and see if the smart scan is faster than using the index (s). The real-time SQL Monitor is an excellent tool to help with this - use dbms_sqltune or grid/cloud control.

  Parallelism is a great tool to help still speed up queries and direct path loading operations and can help prompt smart scans... but use of parallelism really depends on your workload and must be controlled using DBRM and the parallel init parms, possibly using same parallel declaration put on hold, so it is not overwhelm your system and cause concurrency problems.

  If you have a mixed environment of workload or consolidates databases on Exadata so my opinion is IORM plans should certainly be implemented.

• Using the database links in a process of page plsql

  I try to use a database link in a process of pl/sql page.
  

  It works fine when I use the link name in the plsql like this:

  BEGIN 
  SELECT  
  CARD_ID 
  into   
   :P12_HDR_CARD_NUMBER  
  from     [email protected]; 
  

  But the name of the link will come an element of page (P12_DBLINK) filled as follows:

  select db_link d, db_link r from user_db_links;  
  

  I tried the following and it doesn't work:
  

  DECLARE 
  l_link VARCHAR2(30); 
  BEGIN 
  l_link :=  :P12_DBLINK; 
  SELECT  
  CARD_ID 
  into   
   :P12_HDR_CARD_NUMBER  
  from     fusion.EXM_CC_COMPANY_ACCOUNTS@l_link; 
  

  It gives me:
  

  • ORA-04052: error occurred when searching to the top of the remote object MERGER. EXM_CC_COMPANY_ACCOUNTS@L_LINK. WORLD ORA-00604: error occurred at recursive SQL level 3 ORA-02019: description of the connection to the remote database not found

  I thought that perhaps the name of the link was joined with. WORLD automatically but already has the name of the link. WORLD at the end I tried stripping first but the error is the same.

  Is there some synatx for what will work? Can I use dynamic sql statements?
  

  Any suggestions are most appreciated.

  Why are you insert an extra line manually in tabular from?  There is a feature to add a line.

  If you want to insert a blank line when the page loads, then create dynamic action, this is a most appropriate feature.

  If you manually insert an extra line so that you have to write the update for this procedure.

  Leave.

• Reading file and dump the data into the database using BPEL process

  Hi Maury,

  There is no need in step 2 that u mentioned above. I donot find useless a webservice?

  The process will be launched by the CSV file, then using the processing activity, you can put it in the DB.

  There should be no way where you can manually test it by giving an entry. All you can do to test is to put the file in the folder you mentioned when configuring the file adapter.

  You just need to have the composite as below:

  ReadCSVFile---> BPEL--> DB adapter

  And in your BPEL process:

  Recieve--> Transformation activity--> call activity

• The consecutive processes share the same database session?

  Assuming that we have two processes on the same page, which are performed one after the other. Can we depend on that they are running within the same database session?
  
  For example it is possible to define a database (sys_context) context in the first process, and refer to this context within a second (e.g. process DML).
  
  Or asking in other words: is the session DB from the pool of connections apex reused or returned to the connection pool after the first process?
  
  It's a little difficult to control, because only the negative case would be suffient to say it doesn't work that way. Just because the 10 tests on 10 worked will not guarantee that it is always the case.

  The same session of database is used for the duration of 'see the page' or 'accept the page' request. If a 'direct branch' (direction of the page without using the redirect) takes place after "accept page" the same session of treatment, is used to display the new page.

  However, several operations may be involved, as APEX will issue engages on different session state changes.

• Schema of database for the processing of the results

  Hi all

  I have a question on the results of teststep registration in the database. I use the generic recordset as my database for the recording of data.

  In my database (SQL Server), there are the following diagrams: dbo, dbtest1, dbtest2. I created all the tables of results (UUT_Result, Step_Result etc...) of the generic Recordset object in all schemas. Therefore, to display the results in the table of Step_Result, I specify the schema as well as the name of the table, for example SELECT * FROM dbtest1. Step_Result.

  Is there a way to tell Teststand to save the result in another schema (dbo, dbtest1, dbtest2) programmatically?

  Yours sincerely,

  chati

  Yes, the tool is easier to visualize what makes SQL. A user can access patterns as much as they have permission for. The problem is that, in order to specify the schema, you must assign the rating on your SQL commands. I don't know of an easy way to do this in Teststand.

  If you manually create the SQL commands is noted:

  [Database]. [Schema]. [Table]

  It is easier to implement multiple user names and to use the default schema to define.

  You can also have a database that is different for each category of journaling (and no need to use patterns at all).

• process of the deceased

  10.2.0.2 Ent Ed, aix 5.3
  
  We recently had a problem where a script on a remote server has been blocked in a loop and creating about 4 connections per second in our production database. A new instance of the script said was being made each day on top of that. Needless to say that performance started going down the tubes.
  
  I kept monitoring the server and the database and nothing stood out at first, but I kept seeing sqlplus defunct processes appear on the database server and the application server, but they would further their own pretty quickly. Who lead us to discover the bug in the script.
  
  I still see a process random defunct sqlplus on her come and go from the database server. This is not the same PID and PPID every time. I put the admin sys on what creates it and asked myself if this is not the normal procedure for a session of sqlplus finish going defunct and then disappear. While I'm about 99.9999% sure that this is not normal, I tried to find the documentation in the concepts guide to say to prove and could not. Could someone point me to some of the documents on this?

  Not sure what you mean by documentation because the deceased is pure unix thing. Instead of sqlplus could be any other process.
  Deceased process (zombie process) are processes that have been corrupted in such a way that no long can communicate with their parent process or the child. So kill the parent or child, and the process of the deceased will disappear.

  I don't know about orders of aix, but on solaris, you can use
  Ptree
  and on linux, you can use
  ps - ef - forest
  for surveys that are the parent process of the deceased process.

  In your case sqlplus can become zombie so it finnished it is working, but is still depenent on scipt that began. And by reason, the process taking no care on its child process of the parent or by sending signals from parent to child, there is some delay.
  Start by searching on what these processes are dependent, then look in the logs of the aix system...

• Manually change the database of Photos?

  Is it possible to manually edit the database of Photos?

  I was diagnosing a problem that surfaced after initially migrating my library, iPhoto photo some time ago.  It seems that a large number of photos in the iPhoto library had wrong file paths.  The pictures themselves were there, but iPhoto had an error in the paths of files.  (This happened probably years of updates, transfers to different machines, etc.  It is a very old and very large library).

  I used a third-party tool 3 to begin to correct the problem in the iPhoto library, and so far, that seems to be promising.  This approach however, kill my library of Photos and re-import to iPhoto.  Which seems a bit risky for me, maybe lose pictures added since the migration (which is not bad), since I'm not really sure how interaction with iCloud will manage this attempt.

  But it presents to me unless I am able to inspect and change some of the data that the readers of the library of Photos directly, so maybe I can apply a fix directly without having to re - migrate.  It seems that after the XML files for libraries, but there may be another approach, that I could use to directly modify the photo library?  All I really need to do is change some paths that point to pictures.

  Here's a post by user Pascal MaH describing how he managed to modify an iPhoto database.  Maybe you can use the technique to alter a database of Photos.  As usual, don't forget to have a backup current library before you try:

  Re: iPhoto 11 referenced library problems

  July 27, 2011 16:28 (in response to Terence Devlin)

  YES!

  I finally managed to get my iPhoto library!

  But it has not been easy. I had to hack into the database file that you want to put in place good things.

  After much trial and error, here is the procedure I came to, that finally worked for me (use at your own risk):

  0 make sure you do enough safeguards so as to revert to the previous state if something goes wrong!

  1 make a copy of your photo library in iPhoto [Show Package Contents]/Database/apdb/Library.apdb on your desktop.

  This file contains most of the necessary data for the management of your data in iPhoto.

  2. open this file using a SQLite database manager.

  I've used Navicat 9.1, which has features nice import-export. For direct editing, basic 2.0 is may be easier.

  3. open the RKMaster table.

  This table contains all the records for the individual photos in your library.

  4 fix the path of each of your photo files in the imagePath for their course filepath column.

  It contains the path of your photo files at the time they were imported and is not updated by iPhoto, even if you have moved your files photo somewhere else.

  If you have thousands of ways to correct, a good idea is to export this column in a text (including column modelId for SEO) file and to correct the paths using the substring function search & replace in your favorite text editor. Do not forget to re - import data properly corrected using column modelId as references.

  5. If necessary, correct, in the same way, the content of the column fileVolumeUuid to the value of the drive that currently contains your picfiles.

  If so, get this value given a PIC that was recently imported from this player.

  6. If your drive name has changed, also to correct its name in the name column of the RKVolume table.

  Identify the appropriate record taking into account its uuid obtained previously.

  7. If you are satisfied with your work, leave the database, program management and restore Library.apdb to its original inside your iPhoto library location.

  Keep the old somewhere in case something goes wrong.

  8 run iPhoto to see if your work is successful!

  At this point, you might consider the construction of the library (hold down alt - cmd at the launch of iPhoto) and choose repair the iPhoto library database (make sure to let him rebuild the AutoSave iPhoto library database disabled!). This could correct some possible unconsistencies resulting from your changes. Also, a good thing would be to rebuild all thumbnails. If iPhoto don't you do not bug to locate files during this process, you may have done your work right! If this is not the case, go back to step 1.

  As said, it worked for me, without visible inconsistencies or side effects to be noticed in the behaviour of iPhoto (at least for now). But perhaps some knowledgable people could comment on and improve this process, and a database script guru can also help automate this. Please comment.

  Lessons learned (how I understand things as far as I know):

  A. Library.apdb stores the original drive and the path to the picture at the time files wherever they were imported. It is not changed because the files are moved.

  B. some other data (BLOB Binary?) are used to track the files to their actual location. Therefore, it seems OK to move photo files once they have been imported.

  C. Unfortunately, these other data are broken, if the file is re-created (even with the same content and location), for example with one based on files backup and restore (Time Machine).

  (D) in this case, iPhoto is unable to repair the file if its drive and path does not match the one when the file is imported, stored in the database. Also, there is no mechanism in iPhoto to correct these data.

  (E) therefore, it is very important to import photo files in iPhoto only when they are already in their final location! Otherwise, your iPhoto library won't survive a Time Machine backup and restore! (A disk block-based backup might work... I don't know).

  F. ... And Apple should really, really solve this problem! (Correcting the filepath to the current location of the file and stored at least when the database is repaired, and by offering at least some basic file options reconnection).

  I have not tried so I can't confirm or deny its effectiveness.
