Exception Handler: Special character in $ErrMessage

Hi all, Want to pass the result of the $ErrMessage from an exception handler to a server job writing the message to a db table. For other reasons the input of this job needs the parameter as an quoted string. However when I use squote(Exception_handler.$ErrMessage) the message is qouted, but seems t...

ORA-00972 Identifier is too long in Optimized Jobs

Hi all, we're planning to use the balanced optimizer functionality frrom within our 8.7 setup. We're now encountering the ORA-00972-error simply because the optimized job has rewritten an insert to an 'insert into as select', but uses the linknames (>30 chars....) as an alias :roll: Can't be that we...

Turned out we had not updated an encrypted environment variable (created with the default $PROJDEF at import time) with a proper value, causing this behaviour. Still seems odd, but at least we can compile again.... Will check if we can reproduce te problem when moving on to migrate our next project....

Designer: 'Compiled succesfully', Director 'Not Compiled'

Hi all,

while setting up a new 8.7 environment, the multiple job compiler indicated all the jobs as 'Succesfully Compiled'. Viewing the jobs in director shows job status as 'Not compiled'.... Weird, ain't it? Driving us nuts...

any clues?
