Help: need to extract an application from oracle/apex directory

Hi, all!
I worked on oracle10xe and apex 1.3.1 and then messed with partition table a bit so got my windows crashed and I don't believe i'll be able to restore it.
so what i have is an oracle directory from the long-dead windows with apex inside, and i need to extract the applications and the data i was working with somehow.
Any thoughts?
Does anybody knows where does oracle store all its databases and where apex keeps its applications?
oraclexe\oradata\xe\ has some .dbf files in it, will it work if i just write them over in a newly installed oracle+apex?

Hello,
At this point, since you can't turn to Oracle Support (since it is XE), then I would suggest asking amongst your colleagues/friends/etc and trying to find a friendly DBA who will try and help you out for a beer or 3.
Depending on how critical your work was, I wouldn't throw away all hope of recovering your database until you've exhausted all the options.
John.

  • Help needed on upgrading portal application from sp3 to weblogic portal 10

    Hi Guys
    I have an application which is currently running on BEA Weblogic Portal 8.1 sp3. We need to upgrade our application from 8.1 sp3 to BEA Weblogic 10 version.
    (1) Is there any way for upgradation from 8.1 sp3 to portal 10 directly or do I need to upgrade it from sp3 to sp4 and then from sp4 to portal 10? Pls clarify?
    (2) How reliable are the BEAs automated scripts for retaining the personalization/customization of my application on sp3 to upgraded version i.e portal 10?
    (3) I believe, we do not need to do any coding/design changes/architectural changes into my application for this upgrade.
    Any help on this will be highly appreciated
    Thanks
    Jameel

    1) I believe only sp4 and later to weblogic 10 is supported (http://www.bea.com/content/news_events/white_papers/BEA_WL_Portal10_ds.pdf)
    so yes i think you need to upgrade from sp3 to a later version of the service pack
    2) You tell us :)
    3) Depends on your application and the features you have used. E.g. I believe Content management has changed between sp3 and what 10 supports.

  • Migrating application from Oracle APEX to JAVA

    We are one of the groups inside oracle. We have an application developed in Oracle APEX. Now we would like to migrate/implement with JAVA. I have idea about APEX development and hosting. Can anyone help me to list out required software/hardware/server/tool/storage to develop as well as host Application by using java.
    Any help is appreciated.
    Thanks.
    Akie.

    This message is from Developer Forum in OTN Oracle.
    ... "There are no plans at Oracle to stop support for Oracle Forms.
    However you should note that support for client-server deployment does have a dead-line (January 05 with extended support until January 08).
    The Web deployment of Forms has no de-support plan for it. We are actually working on the features for the next releases of Oracle Forms right now. "
    As you can see support for Oracle Forms with Clien/Server arquitecture will be finished on January/05 because they are moving to Web Development.
    Additionally they want to mature their JDeveloper until reaches an full integrated tool for Web Development and they are in a good path.
    Thank you my friends

  • Help needed to extract a value from Textfield

    Hi,
    I am new to AWT prgramming .
    I have created a menu called " Menu System Test window " and it contains toplevel menu item "File" and File Menu contains subitems "Product Evaluation" and "Exit".
    When i click File->Product Evaluation it displays a new Frame named "ProductEvaluationMeasurementTool" with some check boxes ,radiobuttons, buttons , text fields.
    After compiling the program if i check some check boxes and radiobuttons and press Button1 it displays the result as no of checkboxes checked divided by total no of checkboxes(which i have declared as 18 in my code) in textField1.
    I also have textField2 for entering user input.
    now my question is after compiling program i check some checkboxes , enter some value in textField2 and press Button2. The result should be diplayed as no of checkboxes checked plus the value added in textField2 divided by total no of checkboxes(which is 18 in my code) . This result should be displayed in textField3.
    Can anyone help me?
    Thanks in advance

  • HELP: Need To Extract Itunes Files From TM Backup ...

    Hi ... I have had Time Machine regularly backing up my hard drive. I just had a complete crap storm and had to wipe my hard drive and reinstall OSX. My question is ...
    How do I reinstall all of my iTunes media from the time machine backup (a sparsebundle file). I don't want to reinstall all of the other settings and files, just the iTunes files.
    Thanks in advance

    Never mind ... figured it out myself. Mounted the sparsebundle file by double-clicking it then navigated the "Latest" backup folder to the iTunes folder and dragged it to my desktop. Worked like a charm

  • Link/checklist for migrating applications from Oracle 9i to Oracle 11g?Help

    Hi all,
    We need to perform an impact analysis on migratiing an application from Oracle 9i to Oracle 11g. Does any of you have a detailed checklist to follow, in terms of queries, PL/SQL statements, optimizer etc. etc., when attempting this migration. We require something more specific from the application point of view rather than a DBA point of view.
    Additionally, we have queries written extensively with rule hints. Should there be a special consideration for the same since now we are moving to CBO in 11g
    Even if any one has a link, that would help. Thank you so much!

    Hi Nikhil,
    Thanks Xaheer,You're welcome :)
    I'm going through the link: http://download.oracle.com/docs/cd/E11882_01/server.112/e10819/toc.htm
    But it still mentions stuff from a DBA angle. I need from an application angle.
    Do I need to change my queries taht are current written with RBO? Do I need to change Pl/SQL blocks ?Please refer tech below notes:
    *1)TROUBLESHOOTING: Server Upgrade Results in Slow Query Performance -- 160089.1*
    *2)TESTING SQL PERFORMANCE IMPACT OF AN ORACLE 9i TO ORACLE DATABASE 10g RELEASE 2 UPGRADE WITH SQL PERFORMANCE ANALYZER -- 562899.1*

  • Help needed in Connecting to SAP From Eclipse

    Hi All,
    Currently, we have a requirement where we need to retrieve data from SAP System and need to upload the same in a Third Party Application (Java based system).
    We are able to create an account in Java Application using Eclipse IDE by hard coding the Account details. We are stuck up in establishing the SAP connection and retrieving the details and then creating the extracted account details in Java application from Eclipse.
    Any pointers on this will be of great help.
    Regards,
    Eureka

    Hi Eureka,
    Please refrain from creating cross-posts in parallel forums, moreover this question is JCo-related and is not directly connected with Java EE 5. The Help needed in Connecting to SAP From Eclipse in the Java Programming forum would be enough. Please continue the discussion there.

  • Extract of Data from Oracle in a Flat File with Column and Record seperator

    I have a case where I have to extract whole data froma Oracle Table where the Columns should be seperated by |@|
    and Records by ^*^.
    The reason for this is My data has Space and New line in it. So My Program to recoganize each column and record I want them to be seperated by special chars.
    Itried this but of no much help.
    set echo off newpage 0 space 0 pagesize 0 feed off head off trimspool on;
    spool on;
    set colsep '|@|';
    set recsepchar '^*^';
    spool "T_COMPLAINT.dat";
    select * from T_COMPLAINT where ROWNUM < '100' order by cptoid;
    spool off;

    Having '@' and '*' characters in the data will not make any difference if you are using a combined column separator of '|@|' - provided any process you use subsequently can handle it.
    However, the recsepchar parameter appears to be restricted to a single character which is repeated right across the page, so I don't think you could have a single iteration of '|*|' using this method:
    SQL> set  newpage 0 space 0 pagesize 0 feed off head off trimspool on
    SQL> set recsep EACH
    SQL> set recsepchar '*'
    SQL> set colsep '|@|'
    SQL> select * from testa;

  • Migration of application from Oracle Express 6.3.4 to Essbase 9

    I got a requirement to migrate an application from Oracle Express to Essbase.Can any one help me if there is any documentation for migration or else do I have to rebuild a new application in Essbase with the same functionality as in Oracle Express.
    Rgrds,
    G.K

    As far as I am aware there is no migration tool to convert to essbase and you will have to build a new application in essbase.
    On a side note this campaign from Oracle back in 1998 amuses me - http://books.google.co.uk/books?id=4VEEAAAAMBAJ&lpg=PA17&ots=Amg-YO3m5X&pg=PA17#v=onepage&q&f=false
    The line "Oracle Express Server slaughtered Arbor Essbase in both load and calculation times and query times" is a classic.
    I wonder if Oracle feel the same way now :)
    Cheers

  • I need to extract email addresses from my "Sent" folder, how can I do this?

    I have found a way to export addresses using the "export" option inside the address book-however, I need to extract the addresses from my Sent folder specifically. Is there a way to copy and paste into an Excel file? Or is there a way to do this through Thunderbird?

    Every contact you've sent a message to is automatically added to the Collected Addresses address book. One approach would be to create a new address book, then copy the desired contacts from Collected Addresses to that book by drag and drop, while holding the Ctrl key. Then, export the new address book to a csv (comma separated) file and open it in Excel.
    It's also possible to scan a folder for contacts and have them added to an address book:
