Attention: To align with new corporate security policies, and to match policies adopted by other communities within Oracle, the My Oracle Support Community access requirements will change beginning September 18, 2025. MOSC will now require that member accounts in our community be associated to a *corporate* email address. This means that users with generic domains (such as gmail.com, yahoo.com, and others) will no longer be granted access to the discussion forums and ideas labs. If this policy affects you, act now to change the email address that is associated with your Oracle (and community) account. Alternatively, you can opt to create a new Oracle account that uses your corporate email domain.

SYS_CONTEXT returning null

Jan 29, 2009 4:58PM edited Oct 7, 2009 11:25PM in Database Security Products (MOSC) 7 commentsAnswered

Hi,

My application is calling sys_context to get the host name of user machine.Once in a while the host name returned is NULL.

What can be the reasons or possible scenarios?

How does sys_context works, any clues?

Thanks in advance

Mani
