  • Closed as program error.

Error description

  • The user has a view defined in the Oracle database and the view
    expression which defines the view is over 5,000 characters
    long. When the user tries to import this view from the
    Connector Import Wizard using Oracle Connector, the import
    fails with the error message indicating that the fetched column
    value was truncated.
    

Local fix

Problem summary

  • ****************************************************************
    USERS AFFECTED:
    Users who are importing Oracle views through Oracle Connector
    ****************************************************************
    PROBLEM DESCRIPTION:
    When a view object in the database was defined through a view
    expression which contained more than 5,000 characters, the
     import operation for the view object would result in a
    truncation error. This was happening when the Connector Import
    Wizard was used to import the view definition, and Oracle
    Connector was selected to perform the metadata import.
    ****************************************************************
    RECOMMENDATION:
    Install Connector Rollup Patch 2 (CCRP2).
    This change is included in 8.1 Fix Pack 1.
    ****************************************************************
    

Problem conclusion

  • The connector was not using buffer large enough to read the
    viewexpression values when performing view metadata import. The
    codewas changed to ensure that the buffer is large enough to
    accept also the view expressions that are longer than 5,000
           characters.
