In DataWindow Painter, packages and their procedures are not visible/selectable as data sources. We get only tables/views/some standalone procedures. Our DBA states we have full access in DEV (EXECUTE on packages, etc.). We can run the package procedures in SQL tools, but PB doesn’t recognize them for DW creation, and sometimes shows “cursor-based stored procedure has no columns.”
-
Packages under
MNDWIS
do not appear in the DW Painter object list. -
If we type the name manually, PB often reports no columns or simply won’t resolve the routine.
-
✅ DBA confirms
EXECUTE
on the package(s) and underlying objects for our login in DEV. -
✅ We can call the packaged procedure from SQL (it runs).
-
✅ Procedure returns a result set via
SYS_REFCURSOR
(for DW use). -
✅ No DB errors on connect; other objects are visible.
