ORA-28759: failure to open file despite permissions - oracle

I'm working with Oracle 18c.
I want to make plsql procedures that retrieve data (GET/POST) from api through httsp protocol.
So, it work using http, but not with https despite all my efforts.
Below, my code :
set serveroutput on size 30000;
declare
v_req utl_http.req;
v_res utl_http.resp;
v_buffer varchar2(4000);
begin
utl_http.set_wallet('file:Z:\Documents\dev\plsql_http_request\wallets\ewallet.p12','iciC29000!');
v_req := utl_http.begin_request('https://www.google.com/');
v_res := utl_http.get_response(v_req);
utl_http.read_text(v_res, v_buffer, NULL);
utl_http.end_response(v_res);
dbms_output.put_line(v_res.status_code);
dbms_output.put_line(v_res.reason_phrase);
dbms_output.put_line(v_buffer);
end;
I have, off course, generate a wallet using orapki. I make folder and file himself set to convenient permissions (but i have some doubts) :
permissions of my wallet and folder
Thanks a lot for your help :-) !

i just have to specify location of the directory, not of the file.
correction :
utl_http.set_wallet('file:Z:\Documents\dev\plsql_http_request\wallets\','iciC29000');
instead of :
utl_http.set_wallet('file:Z:\Documents\dev\plsql_http_request\wallets\ewallet.p12','iciC29000');

How do I save a picture from a open picture dialogue to a file

Hi I'm currently using Delphi 2010.
I basically have a form where a user has to enter information about themselves and upload a picture. I have an Image component on my form. I did some research and many of the websites I looked at said to use a OpenPictureDialogue to allow the user to select an image and display it in the Image component.
My question is, how can I save this image to a file on my computer? Keeping in mind I will have multiple users adding their picture and that I will have to use the picture later on again, basically I want to use the LoadFromFile procedure to display the picture in my program later on.
I also read many websites saying to use the SavePictureDialogue, but that allows the user to select the file they want the image to be saved to and I don't want that, I want it to save to a file that only I can access.
I have this so far, I know it is very limited.
if opdAcc.Execute then
begin
if opdAcc.FileName <> '' then
begin
imgAccImage.Picture.LoadFromFile(opdAcc.FileName);
end;
end;
I am a student and my knowledge is quite limited and I would appreciate any help. :)
First of all, there is no place on the hard drive that only you can access. But you can create a folder to store your files and copy users' pictures there. This reduces the likelihood that the user will have access to these files. The usual folder for storing such files is the AppData folder. It is better to create a folder with the same name as your application in AppData and store such files there.
Suppose the GetPicturesDirectoryPath function generates the address of such a folder and ensures that this folder has already been created or will be created. The next step is to generate a unique name for the file you want to store. Note that multiple users may select files with the same name. In this case, after copying the picture selected by the second user, the image file will be written over the previous user's file. If a unique identifier is assigned to each user, this identifier is the best choice for the picture file name. But you can use the GetGUIDFileName function to create a unique address. Make sure the generated address is kept with the rest of the user information, or the connection between the copied file and the user will be lost. The implementation of all these will be something like the following:
uses IOUtils;
function GetAppDataDirectoryPath: string;
begin
...
end;
function GetPicturesDirectoryPath: string;
begin
Result := TPath.Combine(GetAppDataDirectoryPath, 'MyApp');
TDirectory.CreateDirectory(Result);
end;
function GetUniqueFilePath(const Extension: string): string;
begin
Result := TPath.ChangeExtension(
TPath.Combine(GetPicturesDirectoryPath, TPath.GetGUIDFileName),
Extension);
end;
procedure TForm1.Button1Click(Sender: TObject);
var
DestPath: string;
begin
OpenPictureDialog1.Options := OpenPictureDialog1.Options +
[ofFileMustExist]; // make sure that selected file exists
if OpenPictureDialog1.Execute then
begin
DestPath := GetUniqueFilePath(TPath.GetExtension(OpenPictureDialog1.FileName));
TFile.Copy(OpenPictureDialog1.FileName, DestPath);
if TFile.Exists(DestPath) then
Image1.Picture.LoadFromFile(DestPath)
else
ShowMessage('Well, something went wrong!');
end;
end;
Read this to implement GetAppDataDirectoryPath.

How do I run an external application with Free Pascal/Lazarus?

How do I run an external application with Free Pascal/Lazarus (using Windows)? I found the "official" reference page, with several implementations and examples. Although I'm sure it works for many people, I, with my current knowledge level, am some what lost (I don't have much routine programming with Free Pascal yet, and other examples I found on the web didn't work for me).
Is there a "clear" example that helps me to do the "first steps"? Thanks.
If you don't need piping you can just use execute process.
uses sysutils;
begin
executeprocess('notepad.exe',['document.txt']);
end.
Here's a working example (source) using TProcess:
uses Process;
var
RunProgram: TProcess;
begin
RunProgram := TProcess.Create(nil);
RunProgram.CommandLine := ‘Path and Name of Program’;
RunProgram.Execute;
RunProgram.Free;
end;
For example, this will open the application "MS Notepad":
uses Process;
var
RunProgram: TProcess;
begin
RunProgram := TProcess.Create(nil);
RunProgram.CommandLine := ‘notepad.exe’;
RunProgram.Execute;
RunProgram.Free;
end;

Change PDF out put file name dynamically in oracle reports

Please guide how to change output PDF file name at run time
I am using below code in after parameter form trigger but its not working :
:DESNAME := 'INVOICE_'||:P_CLIENT||'.PDF';
Please guide me..
You didn't mention which Reports version you use; up to 6i program that is used to create reports was called "Reports Builder", while later versions use name "Reports Developer". Doesn't really matter, but - if you open Reports Online Help System (navigate to "Help" menu) and search for DESNAME, you'll find which executables can be used to set DESNAME's value. RWBUILDER is not among them. And yes, rwbuilder is Builder's and/or Developer's EXE name.
It means that you're out of luck, at least regarding the way you're trying to set DESNAME's value. You can't set it in any of Reports' triggers. I mean, you can, but it won't take any effect.
However, if you call the report from, for example, a form developed by Oracle Forms, then you'd use RWRUN which can specify DESNAME value and yes, you can dynamically create it.
For some more info, do read Help I pointed you to previously.
Among several ways of calling Reports from Forms, i can suggest you to use adding RP2RRO.pll to your Form :
And then, add parameters related to this pll :
And you may call your reports by this code :
Pr_Print_Rp2Rro('Rep_Invoice','|Prm1|Prm2|','|'||:Prm1||'|'||:Prm2||'|','no','INVOICE_'||:P_Client||'.PDF');
assuming you have two user defined parameters namely : Prm1 & Prm2. And Pr_Print_Rp2Rro is a procedure with the following code :
Procedure Pr_Print_Rp2Rro(
i_rep_name varchar2,
i_prm_name varchar2,
i_prm_val varchar2,
i_param_frm varchar2, -- 'Yes','No'
i_desname varchar2,
i_destype varchar2 default 'FILE'
) Is
plist ParamList;
arr_prm_name owa.vc_arr;
arr_prm_val owa.vc_arr;
Begin
plist := Get_Parameter_List('REPPARAM');
if not Id_Null(plist) then
Destroy_Parameter_List('REPPARAM');
end if;
plist := Create_Parameter_List('REPPARAM');
Add_Parameter(plist, 'PARAMFORM', Text_Parameter, i_param_frm);
Rp2rro.SetDestype(i_destype);
Rp2rro.SetDesname(i_desname);
for i in 1..100
loop
arr_prm_name(i) := substr(i_prm_name,instr(i_prm_name,'|',1,i)+1,instr(i_prm_name,'|',1,1+i)-instr(i_prm_name,'|',1,i)-1);
arr_prm_val(i) := substr(i_prm_val,instr(i_prm_val,'|',1,i)+1,instr(i_prm_val,'|',1,1+i)-instr(i_prm_val,'|',1,i)-1);
if length(arr_prm_name(i)) > 0 then
Add_Parameter( plist, arr_prm_name(i) , Text_Parameter, arr_prm_val(i) );
end if;
end loop;
Rp2rro.Rp2rro_Run_Product(Reports, i_rep_name, Synchronous, Runtime,Filesystem, plist,null);
End ;
As you may have noticed this procedure contains a method Rp2rro.SetDesname(i_desname) which you could use and manage your task to create Report names spesific to your customer, unless you set your Destype parameter as CACHE.

Lazarus(Pascal) RunError(5)

My program exits with RunError(5), which would suggest that it can't access the file, which it should be able to. I have checked and the file is used as it should be, the file isn't read-only, etc. What the program does is, it creates a .dat file if one doesn't exists and uses it for saving stuff. If I run the program and the file doesn't exist, the file is created, but after that, in the same execution, the program won't access the file. This ONLY happens if the file was created in the current execution.
This is the way in which the procedures are called(the code is quite long but I am giving you the first few lines, where the error occurs):
fileName := 'labSave.dat';
CreateFile;
assign(labyrinthFile,fileName);
writeln(CheckFileSize);
and then there is each of the procedures:
procedure Initialize;
begin
fileName := 'labSave.dat';
assign(labyrinthFile,fileName);
end;
procedure CreateFile;
begin
if not FileExists(fileName) then FileCreate(fileName);
end;
function CheckFileSize: integer;
begin
reset(labyrinthFile);
CheckFileSize := FileSize(labyrinthFile);
close(labyrinthFile);
end;
According to Lazarus forum (http://forum.lazarus.freepascal.org/index.php?topic=4936.0):
Runtime Error 5 means Access denied. The file maybe readonly and you
use the wrong (default) filemode, or you try to re-open the file with
a new filehandle without having closed it before (somewhere in the
while and repeat loops possibly you assignfile more then once, then
the reset fails?).
If I recall correctly now, the workflow should be as follows for create:
AssignFile(f, filename); Rewrite(f); CloseFile(f);
and for existing file:
AssignFile(f, filename); Reset(f); CloseFile(f);
Seeing other mistakes found in your code through questions in comments, I strongly suggest you to devote more time to debugging and when such errors happen - strip out ALL of the irrelevant code and check your code design for cases like above (assigning file before creating it, etc.).

What have I missed in this custom format copy and paste?

My copy code:
if OpenClipboard(mainwnd.Handle) then
MemHandle := GlobalAlloc(GHND or GMEM_SHARE, Succ(StrLen(pLclCopies)));
if MemHandle <> 0 Then
Begin
try
StrCopy(GlobalLock(MemHandle), pLclCopies);
GlobalUnlock(MemHandle);
SetClipboardData(cf_LocalVar,MemHandle);
Finally
CloseClipboard;
GlobalFree(MemHandle);
end;
end;
and my paste code:
if clipboard.HasFormat(cf_LocalVar) then
begin
ClipBoard.Open;
try
MyHandle := Clipboard.GetAsHandle(cf_LocalVar);
LocalsTextPtr := GlobalLock(MyHandle);
CheckForCopiedLocals(LocalsTextPtr, TextPtr); //What I do with the pasted data.
GlobalUnLock(MyHandle);
finally
Clipboard.Close;
end;
end;
My goal is to copy not only text from a special editor in my program, but also to copy some underlying variable data related to that editor. Most everything seems to be working fine clipboard wise - I'm seeing my copied text, and the 'cf_LocalVar' format appear in the ClipBook viewer on windows.
It's when I get to the paste side and the line
LocalsTextPtr := GlobalLock(MyHandle); doesn't get the copied data from the first bit of code. I see that it makes it into pLclCopies but then can't be sure that it's stored in the clipboard.
NB I have left out emptyclipboard from my code as this would get rid of the cf_text that I need along with the cf_LocalVar.
