Could you help us to understand what privilege is missing to debug this procedure ?

Your steps look fine, so most likely cause is a name resolution one. For example,

SQL> drop user demo cascade;

User dropped.

SQL> create user demo identified by demo
  2   default tablespace users
  3   quota unlimited on users;

User created.

SQL> grant create session,create procedure to demo;

SQL> grant debug connect session to demo;

Grant succeeded.

SQL> grant debug any procedure to demo;

Grant succeeded.

SQL> grant execute on DBMS_DEBUG_JDWP to demo;

Grant succeeded.

SQL> begin

  5      /

Procedure created.

SQL> alter procedure p compile debug ;

Procedure altered.

That all looks fine, but when I try the debugger, I get:

Connecting to the database demo_np12.
Executing PL/SQL: ALTER SESSION SET PLSQL_DEBUG=TRUE
Executing PL/SQL: CALL DBMS_DEBUG_JDWP.CONNECT_TCP( '127.0.0.1', '61625' )

ORA-06512: at "SYS.DBMS_DEBUG_JDWP", line 68
ORA-06512: at line 1
Process exited.
Disconnecting from the database demo_np12.

In my case, you can see I wanted to connect to 127.0.0.1, so "laptop01" must not be resolving to that. So I added the ACL I needed:

SQL> begin
  2         dbms_network_acl_admin.append_host_ace
  3         (host=>'127.0.0.1',
  4          ace=> sys.xs$ace_type(privilege_list=>sys.XS$NAME_LIST('JDWP') ,
  5                         principal_name=>'DEMO',
  6                         principal_type=>sys.XS_ACL.PTYPE_DB) );
  7      end;
  8  /

PL/SQL procedure successfully completed.

and then the debugger worked fine.

Hope this helps.

IP Based ACL

Rajeshwaran Jeyabal, May 04, 2016 - 5:33 am UTC

Executing PL/SQL: CALL DBMS_DEBUG_JDWP.CONNECT_TCP( '10.191.61.86', '60590' )

when i connect to the network, the IP changes for each connection. so in that case do i need to make ACL for each IP changes? can't that be done based on host name?

May 04, 2016 - 6:45 am UTC

I wasn't suggesting to use the IP, I was saying that there an issue somewhere in the resolution of the IP and hence ability to use that definition.

For example, I connected via SQL Dev using a tnsnames.ora entry which nominated a different hostname in my hosts file (which resolves in this case to 192.168.1.10)

Now when I enable debug on SQL Dev, the connection call was:

Executing PL/SQL: CALL DBMS_DEBUG_JDWP.CONNECT_TCP( '192.168.1.10', '64344' )

So as long as the hostname you are using, resolves to the name IP address from both SQL Dev *and* the database, I think you should be OK.

Hope this helps.

Rajeshwaran Jeyabal, May 04, 2016 - 11:19 am UTC

For example, I connected via SQL Dev using a tnsnames.ora entry which nominated a different hostname in my hosts file (which resolves in this case to 192.168.1.10)

Thanks Connor. This helps.

In my case, database server is available on my laptop (and i connect to this DB server using SQL Dev from the same laptop - so client and server are same to me). without connected to the network my IP address is 127.0.0.1
but when connected to network and the IP changes dynamically.

Today my IP Address is

sys@ORA12C> $ipconfig

Windows IP Configuration


Ethernet adapter Local Area Connection 2:

   Connection-specific DNS Suffix  . : xxx.com
   IPv4 Address. . . . . . . . . . . : 10.191.61.36
   Subnet Mask . . . . . . . . . . . : 255.255.255.0
   Default Gateway . . . . . . . . . :

Please see above , when i posted this question my IP address was 10.191.61.86

so do i need to make two ACL entries like this ?

Day#1 - When i walk into office and connect to network, got this IP Address as 10.191.61.36 - make an ACL entry for this IP (10.191.61.36)

Day#2 - When i walk into office and connect to network, got this IP Address as 10.191.61.86 - again make an ACL entry for this IP (10.191.61.86)

Is that a right approach ( to make ACL entry for each IP address) ?

May 04, 2016 - 11:37 am UTC

I have similar challenges (because I jump between many networks).

What I did for my local database, was change the listener to listen on both the hostname *and* localhost, eg

LISTENER =
  (DESCRIPTION_LIST =
    (DESCRIPTION =
      (ADDRESS = (PROTOCOL = TCP)(HOST = localhost )(PORT = 1521))
      (ADDRESS = (PROTOCOL = TCP)(HOST = my_computer_name)(PORT = 1522))
      (ADDRESS = (PROTOCOL = IPC)(KEY = EXTPROC1521))
    )
  )

so when I'm doing stuff on my local database, everything is done via localhost.

Hope this helps.

IP Based ACL

Rajeshwaran Jeyabal, May 05, 2016 - 6:37 am UTC

so when I'm doing stuff on my local database, everything is done via localhost.

Thanks Connor. This helps much. made the below changes to listener and it work fine, when away from network ( everything is done via localhost a.k.a 127.0.0.1 )

But when connected to network things fail - today my IP Address is 10.191.52.69, when i started to debug from connection over network it fails.

Connecting to the database DEMO_ORA12C.
Executing PL/SQL: ALTER SESSION SET PLSQL_DEBUG=TRUE

ORA-06512: at "SYS.DBMS_DEBUG_JDWP", line 68
ORA-06512: at line 1
Process exited.
Disconnecting from the database DEMO_ORA12C.

Workaround for now
1) Grant DBA TO demo; then things works fine either inside/outside the network.
2) just keep looking for IP changes and add those IP's (10.242.144.87) to ACL for each changes.

for now moving with option-1, let me know if any permanent workarounds available

I'm still confused...

If

a) there is an ACL for (say) "LT035221.cts.com"

b) your normal SQL Dev connection either directly refers to host LT035221.cts.com (or the tnsnames entry you are using points to LT035221.cts.com)

then even the IP address changes, and even if SQL Dev refers to the IP address not the hostname...I don't see why it would not work. Because the both the database server, and your machine would resolve the name LT035221.cts.com to the same IP address now ?

It sounds more like a DNS issue of some sort.

I'll ask around.

And just double checking - when you did the ACL, it was the fully qualified name (ie, it matched the hostname from the ipconfig command ?)

As a workaround, you could try the "Prompt for debugger host" in Preferences, and manually enter the hostname/ip address

I am trying to debug ACLs. I believe that you get a free pass when you are using an elevated account. The problem is only found when you use a mortal account like the demo user and application. The discussion has been informative based on debugging approaches.

ACLs to all

Greg, January 16, 2018 - 8:26 pm UTC

Thanks for the posting. I finally figured out my issues. I had created ACLs for the user that was granted execute to a package. I finally created a set ACLs for the owner of the package. That solved the "ORA-24247: network access denied by access control list (ACL)" for me. You may want to put this item in your check list.

There has got to be a better way to hunt this error down. The action item makes sense now but it sure is opaque during trouble shooting.
*Action: Ensure that an access control list (ACL) has been assigned to the target host and the privilege necessary to access the target host has been granted to the user.

I get this error in SQL developer , but not in PL/SQL developer.
I went to preferences in SQL developer > Debuger and choose for Database Debug Protocol > Use dbms_debug.

Afterwards i was wable to debug with sql developer. This worked for me.
