Hi All ,need ideas on using oracle apex maps...

Hi All,
I need a map on country like trinidad and Tobago and jamaica together how do I accomplish that...using the current oracle apex..
I couldnt find country tobaga and Trinidad listed there
Thanks any guidance shall be appreciated..
Paul j

Hi Paul,
There actually isn't a country map for Jamaica or Trinidad and Tobago in the suite of AnyChart maps that we integrate into Application Express. Your easiest option is to use either the World, Americas or North America map - either of these will allow you to represent Jamaica and Trinidad & Tobago on a map, and associate data with it. I've used the Americas map as an example here: http://apex.oracle.com/pls/apex/f?p=36648:89.
I appreciate that this isn't ideal if you wish to represent these locations on their respective country maps, but it might be a possible workaround for you. Alternatively, you would need to source your own Shapefiles for these countries, and use the AnyChart Flash Map Converter utility - http://anychart.com/products/anymap/converter/ - to convert your Shapefile into a .amap file. That .amap file would then need to be incorporated in your APEX /images directory, and its information would then need to be referenced in your map SQL query in order to associate data with the new maps. For further information on the Converter utility, or indeed on the AnyChart maps, please refer to the AnyChart site: http://anychart.com/products/anymap/docs/.

Can I use Oracle APEX with MySQL Database

Hi All,
We are looking to create a performance dashboard using Oracle APEX for our client, but the application database is MySQL. Is it possible to create reports in APEX using data from MySQL database? If yes, are there any specific steps to be followed or any additional setups needed?
Any inputs would be really helpful.
Appreciate all the help
Thanks,
Sameer

Hi Sameer,
it's not possible to use apex on mysql, as stated above me by several persons.
If you havent got any oracle database in your organization, apex would be an expensive choise unless you use the free Oracle XE (express edition), which has APEX embedded.
There are some limitations to XE but with a bit of smart thinking it wouldnt be much of a problem.
[check the XE information here|http://download.oracle.com/docs/cd/B25329_01/doc/install.102/b25143/toc.htm#BABIECJA]
In short:
- XE will use 1 CPU even if you have two or more in your system
- There is a 4 GB data limit
- RAM memory usage is limited to 1 GB
- 1 installation per computer
You can use XE as a reporting database. This will relieve your mysql database from heavy reporting processes, too.
The XE can be used as a mini data warehouse. So you have to transfer and transform the relevant data from mysql to your XE instance.
After that you can start building report screens etc in the embedded Apex .
hope this helps you

Need help in creating Aria using Oracle APEX

Hi,
I am trying to develop an employee lookup using DBCON's PDF(http://www.dbcon.com/oracle_apex_ebook_aria.html).
I downloaded the Oracle XE, version 11.0.0.28844 and used the APEX from this. But, the files provided by DBCON seem to be old. I tried using the AriaTheme.sql file in the APEX, but, it errors out complaining that the file is not compatible.
As this did not work, I downloaded the APEX(apex_4.0.1) and am trying to proceed with this. This comes with a large package and it is not clear on how to install and where to start off to build ARIA.
Please help me out with the latest compatible theme or suggest the XE version that I need to download.
Thanks,
Divya.

I downloaded it from: http://www.oracle.com/technetwork/database/express-edition/downloads/102xewinsoft-090667.html(Oracle Database 10g Express Edition (Universal) )
Could you please comment on the 'Aria' setup, if you are aware?

How fetch data from a view(which is located in different server) using Oracle APEX webservices

Hi,
I have a requirement to fetch the view data from client instance(which is different server) to another instance lets say Development instance
Requirement:
Need to get the Apps View data from the Desired EBS instance(which is accessible online) using webservices,and display it in the Oracle Apex Development Instance.
Kindly provide your inputs how to achieve this.
Thanks in advance

Are you getting an error? The way you have it set up, you can have an error and it will never be displayed. Put and error control on your front panel and see what it gives you. Also, shared variables in a project can be useful. Look at some examples for that.

Is it a good idea to use oracle database to process the geometry data?

I am working on a map related project. Here are the stops I need to do.
1. load geometry information from a table with spatial filter and other conditions (where clause)
2. get the points from the geometry column (sdo_geometry)
3. transform the coordinates
4. encoding the coordinates
5. output
We have a third party applicaiton that can do both #2 and #3. However the process is slow. Some quick tests show that all the steps from #1 to #4 can be done within oracle and the speed is faster. My concern is if it is a good approach to use oracle, a database server, to do all the data processing that can be done and normally shoudl be done on a web server.
Any adivce please?
(BTW, we use oracle 10g on windows 2008R2 64bit, and we may upgrate to 11g in about a year.)

Hi Simon,
Thanks for your help.
Yes all the steps can be done within the database side (Oracle). However I could do the same (extracting the coordinates from the sdo_geometry column, transforming the coordinates and encoding the coordinates) in .net code (web server side) by making use of the new verison of the odp.net. So I have to make a decision now to choose which approach to go, relying on Oracle server to do all the data processing or .net code. I am pretty sure Oracle can process a single request fairly quick, but if tens or even more concurrent requests for the process, I have concerns over the performance or reliability of the database server, especially the server is (a kind of ) beyond of our control (in control of the midware, IS and network team). Somebody said database is just a database and for data storing and retrieving, but may not for processing the data.
Here is more information regarding what we are doing. We use Google Map API to disply parcels. Each time the map is loaded, panned, zoomed, or refreshed (and so on), we need to query the database with spatial filter and some other criteria. The result will be tens or up to handreds of parcels containing hundreds to thousands of coordinates that are extracted from the parcel table that has a sdo_geometry column. We are expecting tens to hundreds of these requests every minute.
Now I am trying to chain every step together and do some tests using both appoachs in order to see which way is more effient and promising. I am guessing there won't be too much difference in terms of the performance for some simple testing unless I run some load testing, or if somebody like you guys can help me out.
1. load geometry information from a table with spatial filter and other conditions (where clause)
Regarding the issues you asked:
====================================
I assume you mean something like: Yes
CREATE TABLE load_table AS SELECT ID, GEOM FROM base_table where SDO_INSIDE(....) = 'TRUE';
2. get the points from the geometry column (sdo_geometry)
I assume you mean something like: Yes
SELECT ID, v.x, v.y FROM load_table l, TABLE(sdo_util.getVertices(l.geom)) t;
(See last comment about data.)
The problem is that we need a lot more information on what it is that you want to do in steps 3 - 5.
3. Transform the coordinates.
What sort of transformation? Rotation, Shift, Scale, Coordinate rounding? Transform from UTM to LatLng
4. Encoding the coordinates
What do you mean by this? Write them out as WKT/KML/GML? Google map encoded polylines
5. Output
Again, output to what, where? A new table? A shapefile? A text file? JSONP formatted data
Also, if you can provide a single sdo_geometry object + data and some example SQL it would help as well.
Here is an example where I take a geometry, rotate it (cf 3. Transform), extract vertices (2. get points), encode it (4. Encoding), and then output to screen (5. Output).
WITH myGeom As (
SELECT 1 as id,
MDSYS.SDO_GEOMETRY(2006, NULL, NULL, MDSYS.SDO_ELEM_INFO_ARRAY(1,2,1,5,2,1), MDSYS.SDO_ORDINATE_ARRAY(355600.52, 5407396.19, 361365.32, 5408106.36, 356488.27, 5409242.37, 357437.46, 5406457.67)) as geom
FROM DUAL
SELECT g.id || ',' || t.x || ',' || t.y as csv
FROM myGeom g,
TABLE (sdo_util.getVertices(
GEOM.Rotate(p_geometry => g.geom,
p_tolerance => 0.005,
p_rotatePt => MDSYS.SDO_Point_Type(357437.46,5406457.67,NULL),
p_rotation => 45 ))) t;
-- Results
CSV
1,355474.91,5405822.39
1,359049.08,5410400.89
1,354797.2,5407755.57

How to use Oracle APEX with Oracle12c - Beginner

Hi. I have been using for months Oracle Application Express thanks to the online workspace on https://apex.oracle.com/i/index.html.
Now, I want to create my production environment. I have installed Oracle Database 12c on a virtual machine (Oracle Virtual Box) based on Windows Server 2008 R2 (64 bit) o.s.
I have created a new database and, during this process, I have selected only "Oracle Application Express" as database's option. Now, I don't know how to use APEX, how to configure the Listener and whatever I need to let the users may use my APEX's applications. Thank you very much for any help. Please consider that I am a beginner and I don't know how to master the administrative-side of APEX.

Website using Oracle APEX

Hi Gurus,
Please tell me if Oracle APEX can be used to deploy a full fledged website on internet.
I have the application ready on my personal machine but need to know if this can be made available for everyone on internet.

Abhishek

Abhishek,
If your organization does not have IT infrastructure but has man power (APEX admins), you can use the Amazon EC2 which is cloud computing. Just simply pay monthly fee. Here is a post of APEX on cloud - http://jastraub.blogspot.com/2009/03/test-drive-oracle-application-express.html
Otherwise, here is the list of companies which can host APEX applications - http://www.oracle.com/technology/products/database/application_express/html/apex_com_hosting.html

How to print a BLOB (image) on a PDF report using Oracle APEX Listener as Print Server

Hi,
I use APEX 4.2.
I have the following query as SQL text for a Report Queries in Shared Components:
select
    customer_id,
    cust_first_name,
    cust_last_name,
    cust_street_address1,
    cust_street_address2,
    cust_city,
    cust_state,
    cust_postal_code,
    phone_number1,
    phone_number2,
    credit_limit,
    cust_email,
    filename,
    company_profile,
    -- customer_image,
    decode(nvl(dbms_lob.getlength(customer_image),0),0,null,
    '<img style="border: 4px solid #CCC; -moz-border-radius: 4px; -webkit-border-radius: 4px;" '||
    'src="' ||
    apex_util.get_blob_file_src('P22_CUSTOMER_IMAGE', customer_id) ||
    '" height="75" width="75" alt="Photo Customer" title="Photo Customer" />') customer_image,
    mimetype,
    image_last_update
from
    demo_customers;
I am unable to have the image printed on the PDF report. Even when the P22_CUSTOMER_IMAGE is defined as session state item.
Does someone knows how to print such image/BLOB in a PDF report?
Thanks by advance.
Kind Regards.

Hi,
Indeed, I would need a custom layout.
Unfortunately, it seems (according to this white paper) not possible with the APEX listener only. I would need a third pary tool. A pity...
For me strange, that I cannot generate such a report having images or pictures in a pre-definied report layout... Maybe a future enahancement for Oracle.
Kind Regards.

Need ideas - pattern using generics

Recently I tried to implement sth. simillar to ActionListeners pattern in Swing.
(this is common pattern for handling actions etc.)
... I encountered few problems (compiler errors, warnings).
I prepared sample code that highlights it.
---- Main.java ----
package genericstest;
import java.util.ArrayList;
class Event {
public String toString() {
return "base event";
interface GenericListener<T extends Event> {
public void doAction(T ev);
class MyEvent extends Event {
public String toString() {
return "my event";
class MyListener implements GenericListener<MyEvent> {
//this method implements interface method
//- as far as I know it is legal according to spec
//and sth I really like in java generics
public void doAction( MyEvent e) {
System.out.println("in my listener:"+e.toString());
public class Main {
public static void main(String[] args) {
new Main().run();
private void run() {
Event me = new MyEvent();
//solution that I chosen - with one cast - works, compiles w/o warnings
ArrayList<GenericListener<Event> > listns =
new ArrayList< GenericListener<Event> >();
//here is the cast I would like to avoid
GenericListener<Event> el = (GenericListener<Event>) new MyListener();
listns.add( el);
for (GenericListener<Event> l : listns)
l.doAction( me );
//my: first solution - compiler gives warning [unchecked]
//use -Xlint:unchecked flag
/*ArrayList<GenericListener > listns = new ArrayList<GenericListener >();
listns.add( new MyListener());
for (GenericListener l : listns) {
l.doAction( me );//here is warning
//one of not compiling solutions - I tried to go with "? extends" and "? super"
//but got no sensible results
ArrayList<GenericListener<? extends Event> > listns = new ArrayList<GenericListener<? extends Event> >();
listns.add( new MyListener());
for (GenericListener<? extends Event> l : listns) {
l.doAction( me //this produces compiler error
---- End of file -----
Code above works (as expected) but contains one small cast that I would like to avoid.
I was trying to rewrite it but never got anything satysfying (see in sample).
After reading topic:
http://forum.java.sun.com/thread.jsp?thread=512445&forum=316&message=2541231
I understood all errors, warnings...problem... but finally I realised that "probably" I am not able to write my code without using casts (or having warnings). (The problem is that in one place I need both contrvariance and covariance (if aI am calling things correctly - adding to generic collection and retriving from same collection) ).
So the question is:
Does anybody have any idea how to rewrite code above ? I am particullary interested in using
this new small language feature that allows me to write my own ActionListeners without using casts (see MyListener).

First, it is good to understand what you want to do, otherwise there's no chance to convience compiler that you are doing right :)
From this code: Event me = new MyEvent(); It is obvious that you want to deliver MyEvent to some listeners. If you are delivering MyEvent, then you should have a list of MyEvent listeners (listeners for any other Event are not good -- they cannot process MyEvent anyway, because they expect arguments of different type). So, why in your code you are trying to declare a List<GenericListener<Event>>? If you want to have a list of MyEvent listeners, then you shall have List<GenericListener<MyEvent>>.

How to use oracle APEX with an distant database located on a distant server

Hi there,
I'm a brand new user with Oracle Technologies. I've installed ORACLE 10g XE and updated APEX to 4.0 version on my laptop.
My Manager has setup a distant server with a Linux Red Hat. He has installed on this server EBS R12 with a 11i database.
As a training, I'd like to play with the tables located on the server with the APEX 4.0 installed on my laptop.
As the server is on the same local network and following the description above, is it possible to plug my local APEX to the server database ?
If not, does it mean I have to install APEX on the 11i server database and then connect to the server to play with those tables ?
Thanks a lot for your time and support ACEs members.
Regards,
Ulrich

Hi Ulrich,
yes, you can access other database from your APEX database. The mechanism used to do this is called a "database link". You need to create such a database link in your local database, then you can access the remote database like this:
SELECT *
FROM databaselink@EMP
;If you want to use such remote objects from within APEX you need to create local views to wrap this (search the forum for apex and database links, you'll find interesting threads).
brgds,
Peter

Issue while adding WCF Web Service reference using Oracle APEX

Hi,
We have an issue with creating the Web Service Reference for the WCF web service:
http://dev.virtualearth.net/webservices/v1/metadata/geocodeservice/GeocodeService1.wsdl
The APEX gives the following error
“The WSDL document could not be understood by the rendering engine. Click Create Web Service Reference Manually to continue creating a reference for this service.”
Can you please tell me if creating the Web Service Reference for WCF is supported on the “out of the box“ APEX?
Environment information:
APEX 4.0.2.00.07
Database 11.2.0.3
Please note that we have tried it in APEX 4.1.1 from apex.oracle.com and the error there is different, it can connect even to ASMX wsdl.
Thank you.

I don't think that is it specific to just .NET web services. I have tried with a web service created with TIBCO BusinessWorks (Middleware product) that did not work either. The wsdl validated correctly in soapUI, so I think it just must be the implementation of the parser which is looking for some specific format.
When in doubt, go with either the manual reference or with pl/sql using one of the api's.
