I need to execute Oracle stored programs (procedures, functions and packages). How to do this?

Thanks.

The current release of the tool (4.5 SR5) has a Tools menu bar wizard that will map a stored procedure into the 'call' section of the map. This can be directly executed by the CocoDriverInterface with the 'call' method. If you wish to substitute a stored procedure for a regular operation (select/insert/update/delete), this can easily be done by using a plugin. If you want to issue a 'call' from the CBFacade directly, you can subclass and extend the CBFacade to add a new stored procedure api on it. We have sample subclasses of CBFacadeLocal that do this automatically.

Does this help?

THOUGHT Support

Yes, it does. Can you send me the sample?

Just email support@thoughtinc.com and ask for the sample and someone will respond with an attachment. The forum can't take attachments, so email is how this sort of example gets packaged to developers...

Thanks.

I?m working with the current release of the CocoAdmin (4.5 SR5), and my Tools Menu don?t has a "wizard that will map a stored procedure into the 'call'" as you said. I map a stored procedure to 'call' operation manually, going to the 'call' operation in the respective map. What?s wrong with my CocoAdmin??

Confirm that you're using SR5. The wizard is the last entry in the tools menu bar and it's titled "Generate Map from Stored Procedure". If you don't have this in your tools menu bar, double check the "%COCO_HOME%/version.txt" file and make sure you're in fact using SR5. You might be on an older service release of 4.5.

My last entry in the Tools menu bar is "Import Table Model", I triple check my %COCO_HOME%/version.txt and the file shows me "CocoBase Enterprise Version 4.5 Service Release 5 (SR5) Build 02052004"

Did you custom edit the CocoAdmin.properties file? The plugin is registered in that config, so if you've edited the CocoAdmin.properties it's possible you've overwritten the plugin registration.

If you need us to email you a valid CocoAdmin.properties so you can reconcile the TOOLLIST property, the support email account can provide you a copy. If you have SR5, the importer is there, but it's probably not registered in your cocoadmin configuration.

Hi,
I replaced my ?CocoAdmin.properties? for the file that you sent to me, and now my Tools Menu Bar has the option "Generate Map from Stored Procedure"... Thank you.
But, when I choose this option, I only see the functions and procedures that are outside packages.
How can I map a procedure or function inside a package; or the entire package?

Another question: When I choose a procedure from the list, the CocoAdmin is very slow, I have to wait approximately 5 minutes to go to the next screen. This is cannot be normal. How can I improve this performance?

Thanks.

This has been fixed in the SR6 update. It had to do with odd jdbc meta data behaviors that required some work arounds. The SR6 release does a much better job of finding procedures, packages and functions - and it does it quite quickly.

Can you download and install the SR6 release? Is that a convenient option for you?

THOUGHT Support

Yes, I can download and install the new version.
Is there a way to "upgrade" the current version "SR5" to the new version? Or I need to remove the current version and install the new version.

Thanks.

Yes, if you wish we can send you a couple of 'update' files, but we prefer you to do a 'full' upgrade if that's not too troublesome.

I?ve made a full upgrade to ?SR6? and now I?m seeing all procedures and functions (inside and outside packages), but I?ve got a serious problem, my DB has 1962 functions and procedures inside packages and 870 outside packages.
It?s IMPOSSIBLE to find a function or procedure in the CocoAdmin list. There are a lot of functions and procedures that have the same name (in different packages).
I need a search engine as soon as possible or a workaround for this problem.
Another problem: After the upgrade, the CocoAdmin still continues slowly when I choose a function from the list, it is a little bit faster than ?SR5?, but it isn?t productive.
