Select count(*)into some_local_variable from dual where1=2 would always return ’0′, thus nullifying the scope of raising an exception unless further coding done from PL/SQL prospectives, as following example

if NOT(some_local_variable>0) then

message(‘Nothing found, raising error’);

raise form_trigger_failure;

end if;

While within a Begin Scope

Begin

Select ’X’ into some_local_variable from dual where1=2;

Exception

when no_data_found then

message(‘Nothing found, raising error’);

raise form_trigger_failure;

End;

Would look more professional approach towards handling the situation. Finally the choice is entirely upon the developer, based on requirements, both may look most appropriate.

Hope this post was useful for few out there!

Here’s an excerpt:

The concert hall at the Sydney Opera House holds 2,700 people. This blog was viewed about 45,000 times in 2011. If it were a concert at Sydney Opera House, it would take about 17 sold-out performances for that many people to see it.

Our case, most of the times this error occured while users tried to book an order against a customer who doesn’t have site information for that particular organization. ie, Customer ‘ABC’ was created for organization ‘XYZ’ and users from organization ‘DEF’ tried to create sales orders for customer ‘ABC’. This issue could happen to any organization which has “multi-org” structure.

The first thing the consultant should check should be the customer site information for the organization, if the site information is missing, proceed towards creating it. Once the site information is updated, manually select the shipping address and other details and proceed to book the order.

If the error is not addressed after creatingt the site information, proceed to next level of trouble shooting. Metalink documentation points towards items not in price list and tax etc.

However, Yahoo messenger fails to establish a connection to it’s servers if behind ISA firewall. Here we are offering you some guidelines dealing with such scenarios.

Most acceptible reasoning for connectivity issues behind ISA firewall should be, YM failing to forward the NTLM authentication credentials to ISA fiewall while trying to establish a connection. Once failed to establish a connection, user will be provided a chance to troubleshoot the issue, which does the trick!

All you need to do is to click the troubleshoot button and wait for the process to complete. If curious, click on the details button to see multiple connectivity checks performed by YM. As soon as the troubleshoot activity completed, rush to login again with your username and password

You should able to logon to yahoo services without troubles this time. Please note, you should try to logon immediately once after the troubleshooting process is completed. This means you cannot wait minutes after the troubleshoot activity is completed. Else you will once again have to go through the entire process of troubleshooting until you manage to logon.

Enjoy all new features offered by Yahoo Messenger from “work” now

Entry Says “
I am a big fan of the Avast! line of security products. I just upgraded from Pro to Internet Security since I got a new laptop and getting the Pro version for that was the same price as the Internet Security version and I figured that an added firewall couldn’t hurt. Naturally, it’s never that simple and I realized that after I rebooted the firewall was causing the web browsers in my virtual machines to lose access to the Internet. I was still able to ping things via the command line but I couldn’t do much else.

In order to fix this I found out that you just need to do the following steps and you’re back online:
1.Open Avast!
2.Click the Firewall tab
3.Make sure the Firewall Settings sub-tab is selected
4.Click “Expert Settings” next to the “Stop” button
5.Check “Internet Connection Sharing mode”
6.Click OK
7.Close Avast!

Now your VMs are back online.”

So, we started using Oracle’s own sql developer. The look and feel of Oracle’s SQL developer is so so, nothing compared to the neat and organized look of Quest toad, at the same time it is the most affordable tool for a developer, as it costs nothing for one to download and start using!
Not just that, if you have the latest version of Sql Developer, it does show you the exact error messages under almost all possible scenarios.
A quick post from a very satisfied Oracle’s SQL Developer suite!

Please follow the below to address this situation effectively

Applies
to:

Oracle Application Object Library – Version: 12.0.0 to
12.0.6

This problem can occur on any platform.

Symptoms

Problem Statement:

When attempting to run a concurrent program which is
accessing file “reports.log” in directory
$INST_TOP/logs/appl/conc/log then following error occurs:

Error:

emsg:was terminated by signal 25

Step
to Reproduce:

Run a concurrent program which is accessing file
“reports.log” in directory $INST_TOP/logs/appl/conc/log for its
execution.

Cause

File size of “reports.log” has reached its maximum
limit at operating system which is 2GB. If
$INST_TOP/logs/appl/conc/log/reports.log will be huge — 2GB in size, then
reports can not append anything else to it and hence concurrent program
accessing reports.log for its execution will errored out.

Solution

To implement the solution, please execute the following
steps:

1. Stop the concurrent manager.

2. Rename/Truncate existing “reports.log” in directory
$INST_TOP/logs/appl/conc/log/reports.log and create a empty
“reports.log”.

3. Start the concurrent manager.

4. Retest the issue.

5. Migrate the solution as appropriate to other
environments.

Note : Truncation of
file “reports.log” is a regular maintenance work for application
DBA’s. Make sure that reports log file size should not increase its maximum
limit of 2 GB. There is no purge concurrent program to truncate file
“reports.log”. This maintenance needs to be done manually and regularly
depending on number of concurrent program which uses “reports.log”.
You can safely truncate “reports.log”.

Recently we wanted to copy the same application for a new user and came across a problem with TNS error “Unable to connect”. Our team has gone through hours to figure out the issue, futile. Ironically legacy applications which were client server architecture were running smooth without triggering the TNS errors at the same time!

Finally, while grouping the folder items by “type” we noticed the presence of a “tnsnames.ora” file along with runtimes (.fmx and .rdp/.rpt files)

Bingo! removing the file resolved almost 48 hours pain in the ***! So, if you come across such a siutation, have a look inside the folder, where ifrun60.EXE “starts in” (Right click the application, check the “Starts in” folder) and make sure that a copy of tnsnames.ora is not present in the same folder with wrong tns entries.

This tip was collected from this link

1. Close all browsers;
2. Make sure you are running latest version of Java
(check this via Java Control Panel in Windows Control Panel, or, more simply,
just download latest version from Java.com) (as of today’s date, the latest
version is 1.6.0_13);
3. Open Java Control Panel (via Windows Control
Panel);
4. Go to “Java” tab;
5. Click on “View” in “Java Applet Runtime
Settings” of that tab;
6. Uncheck “Enabled” for every version of Java listed
EXCEPT for the latest version;
7. Click “OK”, etc., and thus close Java
Control Panel;
8. Restart browser(s);
9. Done.

We hope this information is useful for few others out there!

We were doing the same mistake always as the driver configured by Microsoft dates back to year 2009 beginning. Once the driver set by Microsoft untouched, the network related issues are almost non-existing right now.

Hope this information is useful for those who have few years old hardware and a new age OS like Windows 7!
