Hi everybody,

I am currently trying to use DBMSPIPE.SQL to build a little debug tool allowing me to send information from a tested PL/SQL package running in an ORACLE session 1 to an ORACLE session 2 where the information is read and then written and committed in a debug table. So I avoid to commit the information written in other tables in session 1 (I would prefer to write directly in a debug file from session 1 but up to now I don't know how to do). Of course I use the documented sequence
pack_message, send_message in session 1
receive_message, unpack_message in session 2. Up to now I have been able to reread my sent message still being in session 1 but when I try to read it in session 2 a timeout occurs without any message reception.
The tested package and the reception script are both run in sqlplus sessions. My ORACLE version is 7.1. Is there anything special (undocumented) to be done in session 1 or 2 to be able to read the messages from session 1 in session 2 ??

Thank you in advance for your answers.
