HTTPS not working

Hi,

I have Oracle Application server, where Oracle BI has been installed.

I am configuring SSL for my Oracle BI. I have configured approved certificates, wallet etc. everything looks fine.

But I am unable to open the URL with https://urlname:portnumber/analytics/saw.dll?Dashboard

Whenever I click, its asking do you download the saw.dll file etc..I dont see any errors in the apache log files also.

Any input on this

Thanks
Vel

Well, sorry to disappoint you, but SYS_CONNECT_BY_PATH does not support CLOB, just VARCHAR2/CHAR. You could write own aggregation function to concatenate CLOBs (check this forum for STRAGG).

Depending on your DB-version, using to_clob works on 10GXE, but you'll need to use a different separator:

(Since I'm on XE at the moment, I used the HR scheme, instead of EMP/DEPT etc.)

You're 100% right, I completely missed this part:
When I use the same query on my table in my database (not this one)
and started playing to eager with the EMP(loyees) example right away.
A simple rpad is enough to fully blow my silly example:

Hi,

You can use SYS_CONNECT_BY_PATH to form parts of the string in a sub-query, and then concatenate those parts into a CLOB in the main query.

The example below assumes we can only put 2 itmes in a VARCHAR2. I set the number that small just for testing; you should set it as high as possible. For example, if your items can be up to 20 bytes long, and you need 1 byte for the delimiter, then you can safely cram 190 items into a 4000-byte VARCHAR2 column., and you should set <tt>:n := 190</tt>. 
VARIABLE	n	NUMBER

EXEC	:n := 2;

WITH	got_rnum	AS
(
	SELECT	deptno
	,	ename
	,	ROW_NUMBER () OVER ( PARTITION BY  deptno
			      	     ORDER BY  	   ename
				   )  AS rnum
	FROM    scott.emp
)
,	got_short_path	AS
(
	SELECT	deptno
	,	CEIL (rnum / :n)			AS n_num
	,	SYS_CONNECT_BY_PATH (ename, ',')	AS short_path
	FROM	got_rnum
	WHERE	CONNECT_BY_ISLEAF	= 1
	START WITH	MOD (rnum, :n)	= 1
	CONNECT BY	rnum	    	= PRIOR rnum + 1
	AND		deptno	    	= PRIOR deptno
	AND		MOD (rnum, :n)	!= 1
)
SELECT	  deptno
,	  TO_CLOB (MAX (CASE WHEN n_num = 1 THEN short_path END))	||
	  TO_CLOB (MAX (CASE WHEN n_num = 2 THEN short_path END))	||
	  TO_CLOB (MAX (CASE WHEN n_num = 3 THEN short_path END))	||
	  TO_CLOB (MAX (CASE WHEN n_num = 4 THEN short_path END))	||
	  TO_CLOB (MAX (CASE WHEN n_num = 5 THEN short_path END))	AS path
FROM	  got_short_path
GROUP BY  deptno;
The query above will concatenate 5 VARCHAR2 columns together. You can make this any number, but it has to be hard-coded. You can use dynamic SQL to figure out how many you actually need and write that part of the main query for you.

Instead of packing the same number of enames into every short_path, it would be possible to figure out exactly how many would fit, using <tt>SUM (LENGTH (ename) + 1) OVER (PARTITION BY deptno ORDER BY rnum)</tt>, but that would be much more complex, and you could get the same effect by just concatenating more short_paths in the main query.

It is much simpler and completely transparent (you do not need to precalculate into how many parts to split the hierarchy) to use HIERARCHY package I wrote so many moons ago that completely forgot about it and add CLOB support:

Hi,

I tried the example and I have no results: 
ENAME 
-  

1 rows returned in 0,00 seconds
I did everything in SQL Workshop in Oracle Express except for the line: 
set long 10000
I didn't work so I did some research and saw that I had to do it in SQLPLUS . So I connected as SYSDBA and put the line 
set long 10000
Do you thing it'S why I don't have any results in return?

thanks,

Hi,

If you had a problem with SET LONG, then you wouldn't see all of the output, but you would see the first part of it (maybe 80 characters).

If you're not seeing anything, but not getting an error, then it may be because you're not using the standard scott.emp table.
Change the table and column names to something that you know you can read.

If you really want to find why Solomon's idea wasn't working for you, try this: 
SELECT  deptno
,       ename
FROM    scott.emp
WHERE   ROWNUM <= 5;
What results do you get? Make sure you say scott.emp (not just emp) to make sure you're not using your own table (or synonym).

You are right. I tried the query and it dosen't work. It's not scott.emp
Where can I find scott.emp exact structure and data?

thanks again,

Yoiu may already have the scott schema; if so, you just have to get privileges on it.

Log in as SYSTEM as say: 
GRANT SELECT ON scott.emp TO PUBLIC;
If that works, do the same for the other tables owned by scott, including dept and salgrade.

If you really don't have the scott schema, you can get it from [http://wiki.oracle.com/page/scott%2Ftiger].

Why didn't you try it on your query? Make sure user you ran your query as has CREATE PROCEDURE privilege and create hierarchy package I posted (in general you should create it under a separate user, e.g. COMMON, that owns user defined shared objects, grant execute on the package to PUBLIC and create a public synonym for it). However, even if you modify your query to use the package, quey will not run. Oracle does not support aggregate functions against CLOB:
SQL> create table emp1 as select to_clob(ename) ename_clob,deptno from emp
  2  /

Table created.

SQL> select deptno,max(ename_clob) from emp1 group by deptno
  2  /
select deptno,max(ename_clob) from emp1 group by deptno
                  *
ERROR at line 1:
ORA-00932: inconsistent datatypes: expected - got CLOB

You need to replace aggregation, which by the way is not good solution performance-wise. You are using analytic function anyway, so all you need in add analytic COUNT and select row with rn = COUNT:
select  deptno,
        scbp
  from  (
         select  deptno,
                 hierarchy.branch(level,ename_clob,' ' ) scbp,
                 rn,
                 cnt
           from  (
                  select  deptno,
                          to_clob(ename) ename_clob,
                          row_number() over(partition by deptno order by ename) rn,
                          count(*) over(partition by deptno) cnt
                    from  emp
                 )  
           start with rn = 1
           connect by prior rn = rn - 1
                  and prior deptno = deptno
        )
