Victor, Try that suggestion from Conny before the stored procedure I suggested. Maybe that is what is required to insert that missing commit.
If Conny's suggestion still doesn't work, then write a stored procedure that performs that update, with a commit at the end like I suggested a couple of emails ago.. I'll copy the design of the body of that stored procedure just for your benefit again because previously I suggested update but it looks like its an insert you need to create a stored procedure for.. BEGIN insert into tablen...@..... ( <column names separated by comma>) values (<values corresponding to the column names>); commit; END; Maybe before you try all this (either mine or Conny's suggestion) SQL logging may indicate where a commit is missing.. That is worth a try too.. Oracle SQL logging would also help you find where a commit is missing..

If you create an entry through ARS there are a bunch of statements which gets executed. Immediately before the insert are 2 statements to generate the request_id. You should see something like this in your sql-logfile. update arschema set nextid = nextid + 1 where schemaid = xxxx; select nextid from arschema where schemaid = xxxx; insert into Txxxx (cxxx,cyyy,czzz) values ('x','y','z'); Try to run these 3 in sqlplus. IMHO error ORA-02047 indicates some problem with handling distributed transactions. If this sequence of statements generates an error in sqlplus try a commit; after the first 2 statements. If this solves the problem you can set "Next-ID-Commit: T" in ar.conf. This causes ARS to issue a commit after generating the nextid.

It's when I'm inserting (CREATE operation) the error occurs - I can successfull run the INSERT command ARS is trying to run from sqlplus Victor On Sat 12/12/09 14:56 , Joe D'Souza [email protected] sent: Victor, Well that's half the battle won then.. Yes MS-SQL can be weird when it comes to case sensitivity of view names and columns within views even.. For e.g. if your ARS was hosted on a MS-SQL server, and the view name was in small case and you tried creating a view form in upper case, it would not recognize that name. There is a way to override that case sensitivity but we won't deal with that since you already updated the view to have it upper cased.. This is what I found for ORA-02047. http://ora-02047.ora-code.com/ Based on the clue provided with the explanation of the error code, can you the Run Process Application-Release-Pending just an action before updating the MS-SQL view data in your workflow - and if that does not work the same action after the update action to that DB-Link? I'm assuming that will force any pending commits before (or if necessary after) you try updating the external view using that DB-Link in light of what the article in the above link says.. If that does not work (and the commit is required while and not before or after the update), try writing a stored procedure that has a commit inside of it - e.g.. BEGIN update tablen...@..... set ... where ...; commit; END; Use that stored procedure in a direct SQL at the point where you want to run that update to the foreign database. Make sure that you declare all the variables that you need while defining the stored procedure. Let me know how it goes..

I set on SQL log as suggested and found out that while SELECTing fields from MSSQL server to create a view in Oracle for the view form, ARS was unable to parse fields created in Oracle db with fields from MSSQL server. This is because the field names in MSSQL were in lowercases while in Oracle they were all in uppercases! (can this behaviour be changed?) I redo the fields in SQL server to uppercases and I was able to complete the creation of the view form!. Thanks a lot for that. However, when I tried to submit to the form I received this error: "ARERR [552] Failure during SQL operation to the database: ORA-02047: cannot join the distributed transaction in progress" Once again I set on the SQL log. ARS was trying to INSERT the required values to the view created for the view form when the error occurred. I ran the command ARS was trying to run in sqlplus and it was executed successfully. Do you have an Idea what might be the cause of the error in ARS? Thanks very much for you suggestions so far.
