This happens when you have more then one copy of the toolkit installed (htp, htf, owa, etc packages).
user1_agent writes its output to the htp package. this is probably user1_agent.htp.
user2_agent reads its output from the htp package. this is probably user2_agent.htp.
When you run the procedure as user1_agent, it reads and writes the output from/to the same package -- hence there is data.
when you run that procedure as user2_agent, it WRITES the data to user2_agent.htp but READS the data from user2_agent.htp -- hence NO DATA.
The solution I use (and in OAS 4 it will install in a similar fashion)
1- drop ALL occurrences of the toolkit from ALL SCHEMAS in your database.
2- create a user, say OWS, and grant connect, dba to this user (we will revoke this later)
3- log in as that user
4- run the script owains.sql (found in $ORACLE_HOME/ows2*/admin for for ows2.x and $ORACLE_HOME/ows/3.0/admin/owains.sql for 3.x) using SVRMGRL (or issue set define off in sqlplus before running it)
5- grant execute on each and every package to public
6- create public synonyms for each and every package
7- log on as another DBA and revoke connect, dba from OWS
You now have a user that owns code but cannot log in and only has public priveleges. All references to htp/htf/owa/etc will goto this schema.
If you applications make use of the dynamic sql functions in owa_util such as tableprint and cellsprint and such, you will need to install ONLY the owa_util package in these developers schemas. They would run pubutil.sql and privutil.sql found in the directories referenced in step 4 above. They will need to do this since the dynamic sql is run with the privs of the owner of the owa_util package and the 'ows' user has no privs so most dbms_sql calls will fail.
