23 Oracle Streams Messaging Example

The examples in this chapter illustrate a messaging environment that can be constructed using Oracle Streams. The examples assume you are in a SQL*Plus testing environment with access to a database named db01.

This chapter contains these topics:

Overview of Messaging Example

This example illustrates using a single ANYDATA queue to create an Oracle Streams messaging environment in which message payloads of different types are stored in the same queue. Specifically, this example illustrates the following messaging features of Oracle Streams:

Figure 23-1 provides an overview of this environment.

Figure 23-1 Example Oracle Streams Messaging Environment

Description of Figure 23-1 follows
Description of "Figure 23-1 Example Oracle Streams Messaging Environment"

Setting Up Users and Creating an ANYDATA Queue

Because the examples in this chapter use the oe sample schema, the oe user must have privileges to run the subprograms in the DBMS_AQ package. This is accomplished in Example 23-1.

Note:

The oe user is specified as the queue user when the ANYDATA queue is created in Example 23-2. The SET_UP_QUEUE procedure grants the oe user enqueue and dequeue privileges on the queue, but the oe user also needs EXECUTE privilege on the DBMS_AQ package to enqueue and dequeue messages.

Most of the configuration and administration actions illustrated in these examples are performed by the Oracle Streams administrator strmadmin. Example 23-1 also creates this user and grants the necessary privileges. These privileges enable the user to run subprograms in packages related to Oracle Streams, create rule sets, create rules, and monitor the Oracle Streams environment by querying data dictionary views.

In Example 23-1, you connect to database db01 as a user with administrative privileges.

Example 23-1 Setting Up ANYDATA Users

GRANT EXECUTE ON DBMS_AQ TO oe;
CREATE USER strmadmin IDENTIFIED  BY strmadmin DEFAULT TABLESPACE example;
GRANT DBA, SELECT_CATALOG_ROLE    TO strmadmin; 
GRANT EXECUTE ON DBMS_APPLY_ADM   TO strmadmin;
GRANT EXECUTE ON DBMS_AQ          TO strmadmin;
GRANT EXECUTE ON DBMS_AQADM       TO strmadmin;
GRANT EXECUTE ON DBMS_STREAMS_ADM TO strmadmin;
BEGIN 
  DBMS_RULE_ADM.GRANT_SYSTEM_PRIVILEGE(
    privilege    => DBMS_RULE_ADM.CREATE_RULE_SET_OBJ, 
    grantee      => 'strmadmin', 
    grant_option => FALSE);
  DBMS_RULE_ADM.GRANT_SYSTEM_PRIVILEGE(
    privilege    => DBMS_RULE_ADM.CREATE_RULE_OBJ, 
    grantee      => 'strmadmin', 
    grant_option => FALSE);
  DBMS_RULE_ADM.GRANT_SYSTEM_PRIVILEGE(
    privilege    => DBMS_RULE_ADM.CREATE_EVALUATION_CONTEXT_OBJ, 
    grantee      => 'strmadmin', 
    grant_option => FALSE);
END;
/

Note:

  • The SELECT_CATALOG_ROLE is not required for the Oracle Streams administrator. It is granted in this example so that the Oracle Streams administrator can monitor the environment easily.

  • If you plan to use the Oracle Streams tool in Oracle Enterprise Manager, then grant the Oracle Streams administrator SELECT ANY DICTIONARY privilege, in addition to the privileges shown in this step.

In Example 23-2, you connect to database db01 as administrator user strmadmin to create ANYDATA queue oe_queue. The SET_UP_QUEUE procedure creates a queue table for the queue and then creates and starts the queue.

Example 23-2 Creating an ANYDATA Queue

set echo off
set verify off
ACCEPT password CHAR PROMPT 'Enter the password for STRMADMIN: ' HIDE
CONNECT strmadmin/&password@db01;
set echo on

BEGIN
  DBMS_STREAMS_ADM.SET_UP_QUEUE( 
    queue_table => 'oe_queue_table', 
    queue_name  => 'oe_queue');
END;
/

In Example 23-3, you connect to database db01 as administrator user strmadmin to grant the oe user privileges on queue oe_queue, create agent explicit_enq that will be used to perform explicit enqueue operations on the queue, and associate the oe user with the agent.

Queue oe_queue is a secure queue because it was created using SET_UP_QUEUE. For a user to perform enqueue and dequeue operations on a secure queue, the user must be configured as a secure queue user of the queue. Associating the oe user with agent explicit_enq enables the oe user to perform enqueue operations on this queue.

Example 23-3 Enabling Enqueue on the ANYDATA Queue

set echo off
set verify off
ACCEPT password CHAR PROMPT 'Enter the password for STRMADMIN: ' HIDE
CONNECT strmadmin/&password@db01;
set echo on

BEGIN
  SYS.DBMS_AQADM.GRANT_QUEUE_PRIVILEGE(
    privilege  => 'ALL',
    queue_name => 'strmadmin.oe_queue',
    grantee    => 'oe');
  SYS.DBMS_AQADM.CREATE_AQ_AGENT(
    agent_name  => 'explicit_enq');
  DBMS_AQADM.ENABLE_DB_ACCESS(
    agent_name  => 'explicit_enq',
    db_username => 'oe');
END;
/

Creating Enqueue Procedures

The examples in this section create two PL/SQL procedures that enqueue messages into the ANYDATA queue oe_queue. One procedure enqueues non-LCR messages, and the other procedure enqueues row LCR messages.

In Example 23-4, you connect to database db01 as sample schema user oe to create a type to represent orders based on the columns in the oe.orders table. This type is used for messages that are enqueued into the ANYDATA queue oe_queue. The type attributes include the columns in the oe.orders table, along with one extra attribute named action. The value of the action attribute for instances of this type is used to determine the correct action to perform on the instance (either apply process dequeue or explicit dequeue).

Example 23-4 Creating an Orders Type

set echo off
set verify off
ACCEPT password CHAR PROMPT 'Enter the password for OE: ' HIDE
CONNECT oe/&password@db01;
set echo on

CREATE TYPE order_event_typ AS OBJECT(
  order_id       NUMBER(12),
  order_date     TIMESTAMP(6) WITH LOCAL TIME ZONE,
  order_mode     VARCHAR2(8),
  customer_id    NUMBER(6),
  order_status   NUMBER(2),
  order_total    NUMBER(8,2),
  sales_rep_id   NUMBER(6),
  promotion_id   NUMBER(6),
  action         VARCHAR(7));
/

In Example 23-5, you connect to database db01 as sample schema user oe to create a type to represent customers based on the columns in the oe.customers table. This type is used for messages that are enqueued into the ANYDATA queue oe_queue. The type attributes include the columns in the oe.customers table, along with one extra attribute named action. The value of the action attribute for instances of this type is used to determine the correct action to perform on the instance (either apply process dequeue or explicit dequeue).

Note:

This example assumes you have dropped the cust_geo_location column from the oe.customers table. This column is useful only with Oracle Spatial.

Example 23-5 Creating a Customers Type

set echo offset verify offACCEPT password CHAR PROMPT 'Enter the password for OE: ' HIDECONNECT oe/&password@db01;set echo on

CREATE TYPE customer_event_typ AS OBJECT(
  customer_id         NUMBER(6),
  cust_first_name     VARCHAR2(20),
  cust_last_name      VARCHAR2(20),
  cust_address        CUST_ADDRESS_TYP,
  phone_numbers       PHONE_LIST_TYP,
  nls_language        VARCHAR2(3),
  nls_territory       VARCHAR2(30),
  credit_limit        NUMBER(9,2),
  cust_email          VARCHAR2(30),
  account_mgr_id      NUMBER(6),
  date_of_birth       DATE,
  marital_status      VARCHAR2(20),
  gender              VARCHAR2(1),
  income_level        VARCHAR2(20),
  action              VARCHAR(7));
/

In Example 23-6, you connect to database db01 as sample schema user oe to create a PL/SQL procedure called enq_proc to enqueue non-LCR messages into ANYDATA queue oe_queue.

Note:

A single enqueued message can be dequeued by both an apply process and an explicit dequeue, but the examples in this chapter do not illustrate this capability.

Example 23-6 Creating a Procedure to Enqueue Non-LCR Messages

set echo offset verify offACCEPT password CHAR PROMPT 'Enter the password for OE: ' HIDECONNECT oe/&password@db01;set echo on

CREATE PROCEDURE oe.enq_proc (event IN ANYDATA) IS
    enqopt       DBMS_AQ.ENQUEUE_OPTIONS_T;
    mprop        DBMS_AQ.MESSAGE_PROPERTIES_T;
    enq_eventid  RAW(16);
  BEGIN
    mprop.SENDER_ID := SYS.AQ$_AGENT('explicit_enq', NULL, NULL);
    DBMS_AQ.ENQUEUE(
      queue_name          =>  'strmadmin.oe_queue',
      enqueue_options     =>  enqopt,
      message_properties  =>  mprop,
      payload             =>  event,
      msgid               =>  enq_eventid);
END;
/

In Example 23-7, you connect to database db01 as sample schema user oe to create a PL/SQL procedure called enq_row_lcr that constructs a row LCR and then enqueues the row LCR into ANYDATA queue oe_queue.

See Also:

Oracle Database PL/SQL Packages and Types Reference for more information about LCR constructors

Example 23-7 Creating a Procedure to Construct and Enqueue Row LCR Events

set echo offset verify offACCEPT password CHAR PROMPT 'Enter the password for OE: ' HIDECONNECT oe/&password@db01;set echo on

CREATE PROCEDURE oe.enq_row_lcr(
  source_dbname  VARCHAR2,
  cmd_type       VARCHAR2,
  obj_owner      VARCHAR2,
  obj_name       VARCHAR2,
  old_vals       SYS.LCR$_ROW_LIST,
  new_vals       SYS.LCR$_ROW_LIST) 
AS
  eopt           DBMS_AQ.ENQUEUE_OPTIONS_T;
  mprop          DBMS_AQ.MESSAGE_PROPERTIES_T;
  enq_msgid      RAW(16);
  row_lcr        SYS.LCR$_ROW_RECORD;
BEGIN
  mprop.SENDER_ID := SYS.AQ$_AGENT('explicit_enq', NULL, NULL); 
  row_lcr := SYS.LCR$_ROW_RECORD.CONSTRUCT(
    source_database_name  =>  source_dbname,
    command_type          =>  cmd_type,
    object_owner          =>  obj_owner,
    object_name           =>  obj_name,
    old_values            =>  old_vals,
    new_values            =>  new_vals);
  DBMS_AQ.ENQUEUE(
    queue_name         =>  'strmadmin.oe_queue', 
    enqueue_options    =>  eopt,
    message_properties =>  mprop,
    payload            =>  ANYDATA.ConvertObject(row_lcr),
    msgid              =>  enq_msgid);
END enq_row_lcr;
/

Configuring an Apply Process

The examples in this section configure an apply process to apply the user-enqueued messages in the ANYDATA queue oe_queue.

In Example 23-8, you connect to database db01 as sample schema user oe to create a function called get_oe_action and to grant EXECUTE privilege on the function to administrator user strmadmin.

This function determines the value of the action attribute in the messages in queue oe_queue. It is used in rules later in this chapter to determine the value of the action attribute for an event. Then, the clients of the rules engine perform the appropriate action for the event (either dequeue by apply process or explicit dequeue). In this example, the clients of the rules engine are the apply process and the oe.explicit_dq PL/SQL procedure.

Example 23-8 Creating a Function to Determine the Value of the Action Attribute

set echo offset verify offACCEPT password CHAR PROMPT 'Enter the password for OE: ' HIDECONNECT oe/&password@db01;set echo on

CREATE FUNCTION oe.get_oe_action (event IN ANYDATA) 
RETURN VARCHAR2
IS 
  ord         oe.order_event_typ;
  cust        oe.customer_event_typ;
  num         NUMBER;
  type_name   VARCHAR2(61);
BEGIN
  type_name := event.GETTYPENAME; 
  IF type_name = 'OE.ORDER_EVENT_TYP' THEN
    num := event.GETOBJECT(ord);
    RETURN ord.action;  
  ELSIF type_name = 'OE.CUSTOMER_EVENT_TYP' THEN
    num := event.GETOBJECT(cust);
    RETURN cust.action; 
  ELSE
    RETURN NULL;
  END IF;
END;
/
GRANT EXECUTE ON get_oe_action TO strmadmin;

In Example 23-9, you connect to database db01 as sample schema user oe to create a PL/SQL procedure called mes_handler that is used as a message handler by the apply process. You also grant EXECUTE privilege on this procedure to administrator user strmadmin. This procedure takes the payload in a user-enqueued message of type oe.order_event_typ or oe.customer_event_typ and inserts it as a row in the oe.orders table or oe.customers table, respectively.

Example 23-9 Creating a Message Handler

set echo offset verify offACCEPT password CHAR PROMPT 'Enter the password for OE: ' HIDECONNECT oe/&password@db01;set echo on

CREATE PROCEDURE oe.mes_handler (event IN ANYDATA) IS
  ord           oe.order_event_typ;
  cust          oe.customer_event_typ;
  num           NUMBER;
  type_name     VARCHAR2(61);
BEGIN
  type_name := event.GETTYPENAME;
  IF type_name = 'OE.ORDER_EVENT_TYP' THEN
    num := event.GETOBJECT(ord);
    INSERT INTO oe.orders VALUES (ord.order_id, ord.order_date, 
      ord.order_mode, ord.customer_id, ord.order_status, ord.order_total, 
      ord.sales_rep_id, ord.promotion_id); 
  ELSIF type_name = 'OE.CUSTOMER_EVENT_TYP' THEN
    num := event.GETOBJECT(cust);
    INSERT INTO oe.customers VALUES (cust.customer_id, cust.cust_first_name, 
      cust.cust_last_name, cust.cust_address, cust.phone_numbers, 
      cust.nls_language, cust.nls_territory, cust.credit_limit, cust.cust_email, 
      cust.account_mgr_id, cust.date_of_birth, cust.marital_status, 
      cust.gender, cust.income_level); 
  END IF;
END;
/
GRANT EXECUTE ON mes_handler TO strmadmin;

In Example 23-10, you connect to database db01 as administrator user strmadmin to create an evaluation context for the rule set.

Example 23-10 Creating an Evaluation Context for the Rule Set

set echo off
set verify off
ACCEPT password CHAR PROMPT 'Enter the password for STRMADMIN: ' HIDE
CONNECT strmadmin/&password@db01;
set echo on

DECLARE
  table_alias     SYS.RE$TABLE_ALIAS_LIST;
BEGIN
  table_alias := SYS.RE$TABLE_ALIAS_LIST(
    SYS.RE$TABLE_ALIAS('tab', 'strmadmin.oe_queue_table'));
  DBMS_RULE_ADM.CREATE_EVALUATION_CONTEXT(
    evaluation_context_name  =>  'oe_eval_context', 
    table_aliases            =>  table_alias);
END;
/

In Example 23-11, you connect to database db01 as administrator user strmadmin to create a rule set for the apply process.

Example 23-11 Creating a Rule Set for the Apply Process

set echo off
set verify off
ACCEPT password CHAR PROMPT 'Enter the password for STRMADMIN: ' HIDE
CONNECT strmadmin/&password@db01;
set echo on

BEGIN
  DBMS_RULE_ADM.CREATE_RULE_SET(
    rule_set_name       =>  'apply_oe_rs',
    evaluation_context  =>  'strmadmin.oe_eval_context');
END;
/

In Example 23-12, you connect to database db01 as administrator user strmadmin to create a rule that evaluates to TRUE if the action value of a message is apply. Notice that tab.user_data is passed to the oe.get_oe_action function. The tab.user_data column holds the event payload in a queue table. The table alias for the queue table was specified as tab in Example 23-10.

Example 23-12 Creating a Rule that Evaluates to TRUE if Action Is Apply

set echo off
set verify off
ACCEPT password CHAR PROMPT 'Enter the password for STRMADMIN: ' HIDE
CONNECT strmadmin/&password@db01; 
set echo on

BEGIN
  DBMS_RULE_ADM.CREATE_RULE(
    rule_name   => 'strmadmin.apply_action',
    condition   => 'oe.get_oe_action(tab.user_data) = ''APPLY'' ');
END;
/

In Example 23-13, you connect to database db01 as administrator user strmadmin to create a rule that evaluates to TRUE if the event in the queue is a row LCR that changes either the oe.orders table or the oe.customers table. This rule enables the apply process to apply user-enqueued changes to the tables directly.

For convenience, this rule uses the Oracle-supplied evaluation context SYS.STREAMS$_EVALUATION_CONTEXT because the rule is used to evaluate LCRs. When this rule is added to the rule set, the Oracle-supplied evaluation context is used for the rule during evaluation instead of evaluation context oe_eval_context created in Example 23-10.

Example 23-13 Creating a Rule that Evaluates to TRUE for Row LCR Events

set echo off
set verify off
ACCEPT password CHAR PROMPT 'Enter the password for STRMADMIN: ' HIDE
CONNECT strmadmin/&password@db01;
set echo on

BEGIN
  DBMS_RULE_ADM.CREATE_RULE(
    rule_name           =>  'apply_lcrs',
    condition           =>  ':dml.GET_OBJECT_OWNER() = ''OE'' AND ' || 
                            ' (:dml.GET_OBJECT_NAME() = ''ORDERS'' OR ' || 
                            ':dml.GET_OBJECT_NAME() = ''CUSTOMERS'') ',
    evaluation_context  =>  'SYS.STREAMS$_EVALUATION_CONTEXT');
END;
/

In Example 23-14, you connect to database db01 as administrator user strmadmin to add the apply_action rule created in Example 23-12 and the apply_lcrs rule created in Example 23-13 to the apply_oe_rs rule set created in Example 23-11.

Example 23-14 Adding Rules to the Rule Set

set echo offset verify offACCEPT password CHAR PROMPT 'Enter the password for STRMADMIN: ' HIDECONNECT strmadmin/&password@db01;set echo on

BEGIN
  DBMS_RULE_ADM.ADD_RULE(
    rule_name          =>  'apply_action',
    rule_set_name      =>  'apply_oe_rs');
  DBMS_RULE_ADM.ADD_RULE(
    rule_name          =>  'apply_lcrs',
    rule_set_name      =>  'apply_oe_rs');
END;
/

In Example 23-15, you connect to database db01 as administrator user strmadmin to create an apply process that is associated with queue oe_queue, that uses the apply_oe_rs rule set, and that uses the mes_handler procedure as a message handler.

Example 23-15 Creating an Apply Process

set echo offset verify offACCEPT password CHAR PROMPT 'Enter the password for STRMADMIN: ' HIDECONNECT strmadmin/&password@db01;set echo on

BEGIN
  DBMS_APPLY_ADM.CREATE_APPLY(
    queue_name       =>  'strmadmin.oe_queue',
    apply_name       =>  'apply_oe',
    rule_set_name    =>  'strmadmin.apply_oe_rs',
    message_handler  =>  'oe.mes_handler',
    apply_user       =>  'oe',
    apply_captured   =>  false);
END;
/

Because oe was specified as the apply user when the apply process was created in Example 23-15, you must grant this user EXECUTE privilege on the strmadmin.apply_oe_rs rule set used by the apply process. You connect to database db01 as administrator user strmadmin to accomplish this in Example 23-16.

Example 23-16 Granting EXECUTE Privilege on the Rule Set To oe User

set echo offset verify offACCEPT password CHAR PROMPT 'Enter the password for STRMADMIN: ' HIDECONNECT strmadmin/&password@db01;set echo on

BEGIN 
  DBMS_RULE_ADM.GRANT_OBJECT_PRIVILEGE(
    privilege    => DBMS_RULE_ADM.EXECUTE_ON_RULE_SET,
    object_name  => 'strmadmin.apply_oe_rs',
    grantee      => 'oe', 
    grant_option => FALSE);
END;
/

In Example 23-17, you connect to database db01 as administrator user strmadmin to start the apply process with the disable_on_error parameter set to n so that the apply process is not disabled if it encounters an error.

Example 23-17 Starting the Apply Process

set echo offset verify offACCEPT password CHAR PROMPT 'Enter the password for STRMADMIN: ' HIDECONNECT strmadmin/&password@db01;set echo on

BEGIN
  DBMS_APPLY_ADM.SET_PARAMETER(
    apply_name  => 'apply_oe', 
    parameter   => 'disable_on_error', 
    value       => 'n');
  DBMS_APPLY_ADM.START_APPLY(
    apply_name  =>  'apply_oe');
END;
/

Configuring Explicit Dequeue

The examples in this section illustrate how to configure explicit dequeue of messages based on message contents.

In Example 23-18, you connect to database db01 as administrator user strmadmin to create agent explicit_dq. This agent is used to perform explicit dequeue operations on the oe_queue queue.

Example 23-18 Creating an Agent for Explicit Dequeue

set echo offset verify offACCEPT password CHAR PROMPT 'Enter the password for STRMADMIN: ' HIDECONNECT strmadmin/&password@db01;set echo on

BEGIN
  SYS.DBMS_AQADM.CREATE_AQ_AGENT(
    agent_name      => 'explicit_dq');
END;
/

The oe_queue queue is a secure queue because it was created using SET_UP_QUEUE in Example 23-2. For a user to perform enqueue and dequeue operations on a secure queue, the user must be configured as a secure queue user of the queue.

In Example 23-19, you connect to database db01 as administrator user strmadmin to associate the oe user with agent explicit_dq. The oe user is able to perform dequeue operations on the oe_queue queue when the agent is used to create a subscriber to the queue in Example 23-20.

Example 23-19 Associating User oe with Agent explicit_dq

set echo offset verify offACCEPT password CHAR PROMPT 'Enter the password for STRMADMIN: ' HIDECONNECT strmadmin/&password@db01;set echo on

BEGIN
  DBMS_AQADM.ENABLE_DB_ACCESS(
    agent_name  => 'explicit_dq',
    db_username => 'oe');
END;
/

In Example 23-20, you connect to database db01 as administrator user strmadmin to add a subscriber to the oe_queue queue. This subscriber will perform explicit dequeues of messages. A subscriber rule is used to dequeue any messages where the action value is not apply. If the action value is apply for a message, then the message is ignored by the subscriber. Such messages are dequeued and processed by the apply process.

Example 23-20 Adding a Subscriber to the oe_queue Queue

set echo offset verify offACCEPT password CHAR PROMPT 'Enter the password for STRMADMIN: ' HIDECONNECT strmadmin/&password@db01;set echo on

DECLARE
  subscriber SYS.AQ$_AGENT;
BEGIN
  subscriber :=  SYS.AQ$_AGENT('explicit_dq', NULL, NULL);
  SYS.DBMS_AQADM.ADD_SUBSCRIBER(
    queue_name  =>  'strmadmin.oe_queue',
    subscriber  =>  subscriber,
    rule        =>  'oe.get_oe_action(tab.user_data) != ''APPLY''');
END;
/

In Example 23-21, you connect to database db01 as sample schema user oe to create a PL/SQL procedure called explicit_dq to dequeue messages explicitly using the subscriber created in Example 23-20.

The procedure commits after the dequeue of the messages. The commit informs the queue that the dequeued messages have been consumed successfully by this subscriber.

The procedure can process multiple transactions and uses two exception handlers. Exception handler next_trans moves to the next transaction, and exception handler no_messages exits the loop when there are no more messages.

Example 23-21 Creating a Procedure to Dequeue Messages Explicitly

set echo offset verify offACCEPT password CHAR PROMPT 'Enter the password for OE: ' HIDECONNECT oe/&password@db01;set echo on

CREATE PROCEDURE oe.explicit_dq (consumer IN VARCHAR2) AS

  deqopt.consumer_name := consumer;
  deqopt.wait := 1;
  WHILE (new_messages) LOOP
    BEGIN
    DBMS_AQ.DEQUEUE(

      dequeue_options     =>  deqopt,
      message_properties  =>  mprop,
      payload             =>  payload,
      msgid               =>  msgid);
    COMMIT;
    deqopt.navigation := DBMS_AQ.NEXT;
    DBMS_OUTPUT.PUT_LINE('Message Dequeued');
    DBMS_OUTPUT.PUT_LINE('Type Name := ' || payload.GetTypeName);
    IF (payload.GetTypeName = 'OE.ORDER_EVENT_TYP') THEN
      tc := payload.GetObject(ord); 
      DBMS_OUTPUT.PUT_LINE('order_id     - ' || ord.order_id);
      DBMS_OUTPUT.PUT_LINE('order_date   - ' || ord.order_date);

    END IF;
    IF (payload.GetTypeName = 'OE.CUSTOMER_EVENT_TYP') THEN

Enqueuing Messages

The examples in this section illustrate how to enqueue non-LCR messages and row LCR messages into a queue.

Note:

It is possible to dequeue user-enqueued LCRs explicitly, but these examples do not illustrate this capability.

In Example 23-22, you connect to database db01 as sample schema user oe to enqueue two messages with apply for the action value. Based on the apply process rules, the apply process dequeues and processes these messages with the oe.mes_handler message handler procedure created in Example 23-9. The COMMIT after the enqueues makes these two enqueues part of the same transaction. An enqueued message is not visible until the session that enqueued it commits the enqueue.

Example 23-22 Enqueuing Non-LCR Messages to Be Dequeued by an Apply Process

set echo offset verify offACCEPT password CHAR PROMPT 'Enter the password for OE: ' HIDECONNECT oe/&password@db01;set echo on

BEGIN
  oe.enq_proc(ANYDATA.convertobject(oe.order_event_typ(
    2500,'05-MAY-01','online',117,3,44699,161,NULL,'APPLY')));
END;
/
BEGIN
  oe.enq_proc(ANYDATA.convertobject(oe.customer_event_typ(
    990,'Hester','Prynne',oe.cust_address_typ('555 Beacon Street',
    '02109','Boston','MA','US'),oe.phone_list_typ('+1 617 123 4104',
    '+1 617 083 4381','+1 617 742 5813'),'i','AMERICA',5000,
    'a@scarlet_letter.com',145,NULL,'SINGLE','F','UNDER 50,000','APPLY')));
END;
/ 
COMMIT;

In Example 23-23, you connect to database db01 as sample schema user oe to enqueue two messages with dequeue for the action value. The oe.explicit_dq procedure created in Example 23-21 dequeues these messages because the action is not apply. Based on the apply process rules, the apply process ignores these messages. The COMMIT after the enqueues makes these two enqueues part of the same transaction.

Example 23-23 Enqueuing Non-LCR Messages to Be Dequeued Explicitly

set echo offset verify offACCEPT password CHAR PROMPT 'Enter the password for OE: ' HIDECONNECT oe/&password@db01;set echo on

BEGIN
  oe.enq_proc(ANYDATA.convertobject(oe.order_event_typ(
    2501,'22-JAN-00','direct',117,3,22788,161,NULL,'DEQUEUE')));
END;
/
BEGIN
  oe.enq_proc(ANYDATA.convertobject(oe.customer_event_typ(
    991,'Nick','Carraway',oe.cust_address_typ('10th Street',
    '11101','Long Island','NY','US'),oe.phone_list_typ('+1 718 786 2287', 
    '+1 718 511 9114', '+1 718 888 4832'),'i','AMERICA',3000,
    'nick@great_gatsby.com',149,NULL,'MARRIED','M','OVER 150,000','DEQUEUE')));
END;
/
COMMIT;

In Example 23-24, you connect to database db01 as sample schema user oe to create a row LCR that inserts a row into the oe.orders table and another LCR that updates that row. The apply process applies these messages directly.

Note:

Enqueued LCRs should commit at transaction boundaries. In this example, a COMMIT statement is run after each enqueue, making each enqueue a separate transaction. However, you can perform multiple LCR enqueues before a commit if there is more than one LCR in a transaction.

Dequeuing Messages Explicitly and Querying for Applied Messages

The examples in this section illustrate how to dequeue messages explicitly and query messages that were applied by the apply process. The examples use messages that were enqueued in the previous section.

In Example 23-25, you connect to database db01 as sample schema user oe to run procedure explicit_dq, created in Example 23-21. You specify subscriber explicit_dq, added in Example 23-20, as the consumer of the messages you want to dequeue. In these examples, messages that are not dequeued explicitly by this procedure are dequeued by the apply process.

Example 23-25 Dequeuing Messages Explicitly

set echo off
set verify off
ACCEPT password CHAR PROMPT 'Enter the password for OE: ' HIDE
CONNECT oe/&password@db01;
set echo on

CREATE PROCEDURE oe.enq_proc (payload ANYDATA)  IS 
SET SERVEROUTPUT ON SIZE 100000;
EXEC oe.explicit_dq('explicit_dq');

The example returns the payload of the messages enqueued in Example 23-23:

Message Dequeued
Type Name := OE.ORDER_EVENT_TYP
order_id     - 2501
order_date   - 22-JAN-00 12.00.00.000000 AM
order_mode   - direct
customer_id  - 117
order_status - 3
order_total  - 22788
sales_rep_id - 161
promotion_id -
Message Dequeued
Type Name := OE.CUSTOMER_EVENT_TYP
customer_id       - 991
cust_first_name   - Nick
cust_last_name    - Carraway
street_address    - 10th Street
postal_code       - 11101
city              - Long Island
state_province    - NY
country_id        - US
phone_number1     - +1 718 786 2287
phone_number2     - +1 718 511 9114
phone_number3     - +1 718 888 4832
nls_language      - i
nls_territory     - AMERICA
credit_limit      - 3000
cust_email        - nick@great_gatsby.com
account_mgr_id    - 149
date_of_birth     -
marital_status    - MARRIED
gender            - M
income_level      - OVER 150,000
No more messages

Example 23-26, you connect to database db01 as sample schema user oe to query the oe.orders and oe.customers tables to see the rows corresponding to the messages applied by apply process apply_oe, created in Example 23-15.

Example 23-26 Querying for Applied Messages

set echo off
set verify off
ACCEPT password CHAR PROMPT 'Enter the password for OE: ' HIDE
CONNECT oe/&password@db01; 
set echo on

CREATE PROCEDURE oe.enq_proc (payload ANYDATA)  IS 
SELECT order_id, order_date, customer_id, order_total
  FROM oe.orders WHERE order_id = 2500;
SELECT cust_first_name, cust_last_name, cust_email 
  FROM oe.customers WHERE customer_id = 990;
SELECT order_id, order_date, customer_id, order_total 
  FROM oe.orders WHERE order_id = 2502;

The example returns three rows:

ORDER_ID ORDER_DATE                     CUSTOMER_ID ORDER_TOTAL
---------- ------------------------------ ----------- -----------
      2500 05-MAY-01 12.00.00.000000 AM           117       44699
 
1 row selected.

CUST_FIRST_NAME      CUST_LAST_NAME       CUST_EMAIL
-------------------- -------------------- ------------------------------
Hester               Prynne               a@scarlet_letter.com
 
1 row selected.

  ORDER_ID ORDER_DATE                     CUSTOMER_ID ORDER_TOTAL
---------- ------------------------------ ----------- -----------
      2502 04-NOV-00 12.00.00.000000 AM           145        5235
 
1 row selected.

Enqueuing and Dequeuing Messages Using JMS

The examples in this section illustrate how to enqueue non-LCR messages and row LCRs into a queue and then dequeue them using Java Message Service (JMS).

The following jar and zip files should be in the CLASSPATH based on the release of JDK you are using.

For JDK 1.4.x, the CLASSPATH must contain:

ORACLE_HOME/jdbc/lib/classes12.jar 
ORACLE_HOME/jdbc/lib/ojdbc14.jar 
ORACLE_HOME/jlib/jndi.jar
ORACLE_HOME/lib/jta.jar
ORACLE_HOME/rdbms/jlib/aqapi13.jar
ORACLE_HOME/rdbms/jlib/jmscommon.jar
ORACLE_HOME/rdbms/jlib/xdb.jar
ORACLE_HOME/xdk/lib/xmlparserv2.jar

For JDK 1.3.x, the CLASSPATH must contain:

ORACLE_HOME/jdbc/lib/classes12.jar 
ORACLE_HOME/jlib/jndi.jar
ORACLE_HOME/rdbms/jlib/aqapi13.jar
ORACLE_HOME/rdbms/jlib/jmscommon.jar
ORACLE_HOME/rdbms/jlib/xdb.jar
ORACLE_HOME/lib/jta.jar
ORACLE_HOME/xdk/lib/xmlparserv2.jar

For JDK 1.2.x, the CLASSPATH must contain:

ORACLE_HOME/jdbc/lib/classes12.jar 
ORACLE_HOME/jlib/jndi.jar
ORACLE_HOME/lib/jta.jar
ORACLE_HOME/rdbms/jlib/aqapi12.jar
ORACLE_HOME/rdbms/jlib/jmscommon.jar
ORACLE_HOME/rdbms/jlib/xdb.jar
ORACLE_HOME/xdk/lib/xmlparserv2.jar

Also, make sure LD_LIBRARY_PATH (Linux and Solaris) or PATH (Windows) includes ORACLE_HOME/lib.

These examples show sample schema user oe enqueuing JMS messages into a queue and agent explicit_dq dequeuing them. Agent explicit_dq was created in Example 23-18, associated with sample schema user oe in Example 23-19, and made a subscriber to queue oe_queue in Example 23-20.

Sample schema user oe was granted EXECUTE on DBMS_AQ in Example 23-1. In order for this user to use the Oracle JMS interface, it must have EXECUTE privilege on DBMS_AQIN as well. In Example 23-27, you connect to database db01 as a user with administrative privileges to grant the necessary privilege to oe.

Example 23-27 Granting EXECUTE on DBMS_AQIN to User oe

GRANT EXECUTE on DBMS_AQIN to oe;

Enqueue of JMS types and XML types does not work with Oracle Streams ANYDATA queues unless you call DBMS_AQADM.ENABLE_JMS_TYPES(queue_table_name) after DBMS_STREAMS_ADM.SET_UP_QUEUE(). In Example 23-28, you connect to database db01 as administrator user strmadmin, created in Example 23-1, to run ENABLE_JMS_TYPES on ANYDATA queue table oe_queue_table, created in Example 23-2.

Example 23-28 Enabling JMS Types on an ANYDATA Queue

CONNECT strmadmin;
Enter password: password
BEGIN
  DBMS_AQADM.ENABLE_JMS_TYPES('oe_queue_table');
END;
/

Note:

Enabling an Oracle Streams queue for these types may affect import/export of the queue table.

In Example 23-29, you connect to database db01 as sample schema user oe to create types address and person.

Example 23-29 Creating Oracle Object Types address and person

CONNECT oe;
Enter password: password
CREATE TYPE address AS OBJECT (street VARCHAR (30), num NUMBER)
/ 
CREATE TYPE person AS OBJECT (name VARCHAR (30), home ADDRESS)
/

In Example 23-30, you use JPublisher to generate two Java classes named JPerson and JAddress for the person and address types, respectively. The input to JPublisher is a file called input.typ with the following lines:

SQL PERSON AS JPerson
SQL ADDRESS AS JAddress

Example 23-30 Creating Java Classes That Map to Oracle Object Types

jpub -input=input.typ -user=OE/OE

Example 23-31 is the Java code that you use to publish JMS text messages, LCRs, and non-LCR ADT messages into an Oracle Streams topic. It does the following:

Method publishUserMessages() does the following:

Method publishLcrMessages() does the following:

The code is compiled in Example 23-33. For now, just save it as StreamsEnq.java.

Example 23-32 is the Java code you use to receive messages from a Oracle Streams topic. It does the following:

Method receiveMessages() does the following:

The code is compiled in Example 23-33. For now, just save it as StreamsDeq.java.

In Example 23-33, you compile the scripts.

Example 23-33 Compiling StreamsEnq.java and StreamsDeq.java

javac StreamsEnq.java StreamsDeq.java JPerson.java JAddress.java

In Example 23-34, you run the enqueue program, specifying values for ORACLE_SID, HOST, and PORT that are appropriate for your testing environment.

Example 23-34 Running StreamsEnq

java StreamsEnq  ORACLE_SID HOST PORT

The example returns:

Publish message 1 -type  PERSON
Publish message 2 -type  JMS TextMessage
Publish message 3 - XMLType containing LCR ROW
End of StreamsEnq Demo

In Example 23-35, you run the dequeue program, specifying values for ORACLE_SID, HOST, and PORT that are appropriate for your testing environment.

Example 23-35 Running StreamsDeq

java StreamsDeq  ORACLE_SID HOST PORT
