10g R2 - when to make the jump?

rpapajMar 22 2006 — edited Mar 23 2006
Considering the current desupport date for the 9iR2 db server software of June 30, 2007, what's your feedback on jumping from 9iR2 to 10gR2 this summer of 2006? Is it too soon? Is 10gR2 stable/reliable enough at this point for mission-critical production systems in your opinion? Does 10gR2 provide enough added functionality, such as the security features, to merit a summer 2006 upgrade rather than waiting for a timeframe closer to the 9iR2 desupport date? And when upgrading to 10gR2, any gotchas to look out for that you may have encountered? I realize we will have to work through any compatibility issues between 3rd party vendor software & 10gR2; that may be one thing that potentially forces a timeline for upgrades for some of our databases.

Thanks in advance for any feedback on any of the above.

Additional information will be in the debug log. Put your page in debug mode, locate the error, and post the details.

Well, I put the page in debug mode (using the developer bar button), but I didn't see anything related to this error message in the debug console.

Denis Savenko

By the way, I once or twice met the same error (Error: Not Found) on the Page Designer window. Unfortunately, I can't reproduce and catch it right now, but if I do, I will share a screenshot.

Is there anything similar to alert.log where I can see APEX engine exceptions?

Denis Savenko

I caught it while changing the page. When switched to this page, met this:

Any thoughts? Where additional information about this error could be found?

Denis Savenko

Using trial and error method, I eventually found what was the reason of this problem.

So, the exception was related to Popup LOV component on the modal page window. When I changed the type of this component to Select, the exceptions stopped to reproduce.

I still don't know what was wrong with it and what I could or should change in the component properties, but at least it fixed the problem.

I still think it is an APEX bug. Maybe I would change my opinion if somebody expalined me the nature of the problem and how to handle it.

Now I get the same error on pages where there's no Popup LOV component. I don't know why it helped previously, but seems these facts are somehow connected, but it's not the solution

Now I started getting the same error on a page where there's no Popup LOV component. And I don't understand what's the reason now:

By the way, once after logging into App Builder I got this, it seems this is the same error, but an error handler is different:

Any thoughts?

Denis Savenko

I put my browser javascript console in verbose mode, enables all the debugging levels, and now I have this:

So now it's obvious that some XHR query can't be finished, and that's why this exception appears. Then on my second try, totally the same query finishes without any problem. Maybe it's a known jQuery problem? Does anybody know any workaround?

Denis Savenko

New info:

This error somehow correlates with Application List of Values Shared Components. And with components which base on this List of Values (Select List, Popup LOV, Select2, Report Columns based on LOV).

I proved it by eliminating columns based on LOV in my report, and also by changing the type of Select List component on my form to Text Field components. It doesn't fit my needs, but after doing this I stopped to get the 'Not Found' error.

Also, it seems, only big Dynamic List of Values (I have one with about 5k rows) causes the error.

Answer

Ok, I sorted the problem out myself.

It indeed turned out that the reason of the problem was in the items based on List of Values. And only if these List of Values base on pipelined functions which return plenty of rows (for example, more than 1 thousand).

This is what happens:

  1. A user wants to submit a page where there're several items based on LOV. For example, several Popup LOV items.
  2. APEX engine accepts the request, tries to fetch rows from LOV, but don't need all of them, and tries to close the cursor.
  3. Pipelined fuction raises the exception - ORA-06548: no more rows needed.
  4. APEX engine reacts inadequately on it, and returns 404 (Not Found) as a result of the request.
  5. APEX show process wraps this exception and returns to the User - this is why I saw it in the inline error notification block.

As you already guessed, the solution for this is to suppress the pipelined function exceptions. And when I did this, everything starts to work ok and without any error.

So now I'm sure that this is an Oracle APEX bug - the reaction on pipelined exceptions is extremely weird, intransparent for developers and users, and not even properly logged.
