11g r2 and apex

Hi
I have recentlt installed 11g r2 on vistta busniess. How to start/use apex included in it.
Prashant

You probably want to skim through this. Somewhere in there you will have to decide what
front end to use:
http://download.oracle.com/docs/cd/E11882_01/relnotes.112/e11944/toc.htm
from
http://www.oracle.com/pls/db112/portal.portal_db?selected=5&frame=#application_express
If it was me, I'd upgrade to 4.01 right away from 3.2. That's 2 steps as you would have to
download and install 4.0 and then download and apply the 4.0.1 patchset.

Advice:
If you do anything with dates and/or timestamps you would do well to confirm your nls settings are
correct in the database, especially for dates and timestamps.

HTTP server on Oracle 11g R1 and apex listener

I have installed APEX 4.0.1 on Oracle 11g R1 and things went well until the installation of the APEX listener.
- I followed the installation guide and I opted for the basic connection type but I found the following message:
the network adapter could not establish the connection
I then checked my services and i noted that i had only four services which are:
- OracleDBConsoleORCL
- OracleJobSchedulerORCL
- OracleOraDb11g_home1TNSListener
- OracleServiceORCL
And there is no oracle HTTP server as I had for oracle 9.2 on another machine.
Can Anybody help on this ?
thanks in advance for your help,
Pierre

Hi Pierre,
as Tony posted, you usually chose the APEX Listener to access your APEX instance by using a J2EE container (like OAS/OC4J, Oracle WebLogic, Sun Glassfish) rather than using OHS+mod_plsql. So you'd need to search for the service that comprises the J2EE container to which you deployed the war-File for the APEX Listener.
So as it seems you did not deploy to an existing J2EE container (you would not the proper URL...) you probably want to use the embedded web container of the APEX Listener. This container does not register any service and is started on demand.
If you deployed to an existing J2EE container, use its access scheme ( PROTOCOL://HOST:PORT/CONTEXT ) to access the APEX Listener, where CONTEXT is defaulted to apex if you stick to the installation manual. Remember to configure the APEX Listener after deployment via PROTOCOL://HOST:PORT/CONTEXT/listenerConfigure , as described in the installation manual.
Please follow the installation manual for the APEX Listener thoroughly to configure that instance and get the right port to access the service on the machine on which you started that embedded container, probably your localhost.

Setup for PDF printing using Embedded PL/SQL Gateway, 11G DB and APEX 3.1

I've setup APEX on 11G using the Embedded PL/SQL Gateway. Its all working well.
I've enabled Network Services and can see a couple of printers I've defined after running
select * from DBA_NETWORK_ACLS;
and also can see the FLOWS_030100 and FLOWS_030000 users when I run
select * from DBA_NETWORK_ACL_PRIVILEGES;
I have been through http://www.oracle.com/technology/products/database/application_express/html/configure_printing.html and can see that I have a few choices ...
* Oracle BI Publisher,
* Apache FOP or
* some other XSL-FO Processing Engine.
I am not able to use Oracle BI Publisher ... license required:-( ... so that leaves the other two choices .. as I'm using the Embedded PL/SQL Gateway the Apache FOP is not an option ..
that leaves other XSL-FO Processing Engine .. has anyone had any experience in this area .. and can give me a few pointers ...
I'm kinda surprised I have little choice .. am I missing something?
Regards
Adam

Adam,
>> as I'm using the Embedded PL/SQL Gateway the Apache FOP is not an option
Not a true statement. Using Oracle Containers for J2EE (10.1.3.2), as listed in that document you reference, is all you need to use Apache FOP. You don't know the full-blown Apache.

Language issues with 11g xe and apex

Hi,
Nice work indeed, but I found that there's not a Chinese version of 11g xe, it is in English, and also for apex embeded, is it ok for me to do the same as before, to install a language for apex by running the script offered within the apex package?
After installing the apex app, some menus are in English in the interacitve report, like the 'action' button and its included functions, like aggregate, caculate, sort,

Hi ,
I have found the way, as the manual stated:
3.3.10 About Running Oracle Application Express in Other Languages
The Oracle Application Express interface is translated into German, Spanish, French, Italian, Japanese, Korean, Brazilian Portuguese, Simplified Chinese, and Traditional Chinese. A single instance of Oracle Application Express can be installed with one or more of these translated versions. At runtime, each user's Web browser language settings determine the specific language version.
In order to install other languages you must use the apex_4.0.zip file which contains the extra files referenced below. If you previously downloaded apex_4.0_en.zip, then you don't need to re-install Oracle Application Express. Simply download apex_4.0.zip and unzip the file into the same directory where you unzipped apex_4.0_en.zip.
The translated version of Oracle Application Express should be loaded into a database that has a character set that supports the specific language. If you attempt to install a translated version of Oracle Application Express into a database that does not support the character encoding of the language, the installation may fail or the translated Oracle Application Express instance may appear corrupt when run. The database character set AL32UTF8 supports all the translated versions of Oracle Application Express.
You can manually install translated versions of Oracle Application Express using SQL*Plus. The installation files are encoded in AL32UTF8.
Note:
Regardless of the target database character set, to install a translated version of Oracle Application Express, you must set the character set value of the NLS_LANG environment variable to AL32UTF8 before starting SQL*Plus.
The following examples illustrate valid NLS_LANG settings for loading Oracle Application Express translations:
American_America.AL32UTF8
Japanese_Japan.AL32UTF8
3.3.10.1 Installing a Translated Version of Oracle Application Express
Whether you are installing for the first time or upgrading from a previous release, you must run the load_lang.sql script to run a translated version of Oracle Application Express.
The installation scripts are located in subdirectories identified by a language code in the unzipped distribution apex/builder. For example, the German version is located in apex/builder/de and the Japanese version is located in apex/builder/ja. Within each of directory, there is a language loading script identified by the language code (for example, load_de.sql or load_ja.sql).
To install a translated version of Oracle Application Express:
Set the NLS_LANG environment variable, making sure that the character set is AL32UTF8. For example:
Bourne or Korn shell:
NLS_LANG=American_America.AL32UTF8
export NLS_LANG
C shell:
setenv NLS_LANG American_America.AL32UTF8
For Windows based systems:
set NLS_LANG=American_America.AL32UTF8
Navigate to the directory under apex/builder based on the language you need to install. For example for German, navigate to apex/builder/de. Start SQL*Plus and connect to the database where Oracle Application Express is installed as SYS specifying the SYSDBA role. For example:
On Windows:
SYSTEM_DRIVE:\ sqlplus /nolog
SQL> CONNECT SYS as SYSDBA
Enter password: SYS_password
On UNIX and Linux:
$ sqlplus /nolog
SQL> CONNECT SYS as SYSDBA
Enter password: SYS_password
Execute the following statement:
ALTER SESSION SET CURRENT_SCHEMA = APEX_040000;
Execute the appropriate language specific script. For example:
@load_lang.sql
Where lang is the specific language (for example, load_de.sql for German or load_ja.sql for Japanese).
though I have to download apex 4.0.2, since the packages not avaliable within 11gXE.

Oracle 11g and APEX version

Hi,
My understanding was that APEX 4.0 comes by default with Oracle 11g... recently we've got the oracle 10g upgraded to 11g and our admin has mentioned that APEX verision is showing APEX 3.2.1...
Please advice...
Thanks

Hi,
With Oracle 11g by default apex 3.2 was installed.
You have to download the latest apex release from: http://www.oracle.com/technetwork/developer-tools/apex/downloads/index.html

BUG for sort column with Oracle 11g and APEX 3.2

I have BUG in Report region(Oracle 11g and APEX 3.2). if i have more than 746 Char for my column's value and i want to sort them, this error appear
Report error :
ORA-00910: specified length too long for its datatype.
But in an other environement in Oracle 10g and apex 3.2, with the same data. I have no BUG.
Somebody have an idea for a possible solution to this problem???

Again, I may just be wasting your time...but if I have XDB problems...especially with the password, I do the following:
1. Change your working directory to $ORACLE_HOME/apex.
2. Start SQL*Plus and connect to the database where Oracle Application Express is installed as SYS.
3. Run apxconf.sql
> @apxconf
4. When prompted, enter a password for the Oracle Application Express Admin account.
5. When prompted, enter the port for the Oracle XML DB HTTP server. (default port being, of course,8080).
6. Unlock the ANONYMOUS account
> ALTER USER ANONYMOUS ACCOUNT UNLOCK;
7. If needed, I do the SETHTTPPORT command mentioned before...
Since I'm using the Oracle 11g, with embedded PL/SQL server, I have no idea if this is the same for 10g us OHS?
Hope that helps!

Looking for spell check solution with IE8 and apex 4.1

Hello: The most recent solution I find to implement spell check in IE8 and APEX is 2 years old - here: http://mattball.wordpress.com/2010/06/07/apex-spell-checker/
It shows how to integrate Jspell with apex. I will likely try the JSpell Evolution since it gives the little squiggle. Does anyone have success with this or another solution? Does it work within tabular forms?
Thanks, Hawk

Were you able to get JSpell installed? I am stuck in the same boat - I need a spell checker. The documentation is 2+ years old and on an Oracle 10.1.x database.
I am running Oracle 11g on a Linux installation with APEX 4.1
And I had to reinstall the OS on my development machine because when I installed IE Spell as a test, it installed some MALWARE at the same time. So that isn't even an option.
Has anyone tried any other spell checkers now that Oracle has deprecated spell checking in the Rich Text Editor for 4.1? Even Google Toolbar's spell check doesn't work with CKEDitor 3 as it has been implemented with APEX. On a standard CKEditor (outside of APEX), it works great but not within APEX (thanks Oracle!!)
Please advise.

Steps to install Standard 11g r2, SqlDeveloper, Apex 4.1?

Instead of downloading just+ the Apex XE installation,
is this the correct way, for a personal pc, to install Standard [free] 11gR2 with SqlDeveloper and Apex 4.1

- install 11g 11.2.0.1.0, for Microsoft Windows (x64)
- install SqlDeveloper
- install/configure: Oracle XML DB (no new download?)

Pl identify exact version of Win 7 - you will need Professional or higher - Home version is not supported - http://docs.oracle.com/cd/E11882_01/install.112/e24186/reqs.htm#BABIICFE
- install JDK 7 (separate download/install for 64-bit Windows)You do not need a separate JDK - Oracle Database install includes a JDK install for use with the database
- install 11g 11.2.0.1.0, for Microsoft Windows (x64)
- install SqlDeveloper
- install/configure: Oracle XML DB (no new download?)XML DB is included in the database install
- install Apex 4.1 Oracle 11gR2 also includes an Apex install - I am not sure what version is included.

Windows Server 2003 EE and APEX 3.1.2

Hi
I have simple problem. I installed win32 11gR1 Oracle Enterprise Edition database, and apex 3.1.2. The instalation was OK. But now that I try to login to apex using
http://127.0.0.1/apex/apexadmin, I get a popup window that suggest me to enter username and password to it. The message comes from XDB. Now no matter what I try to enter inisde, I just can't login to apex admin. I never get this window before. On XP I instaled and used apex on Oracle 11g EE without problem. Is this something specific to win server 2003, and what should I do. I tried to enter apex ADMIN username and password but it just can't except it. Help
Edited by: MarcusO on Jun 9, 2010 6:42 AM

Hello Marcus,
>> Is this something specific to win server 2003
I don’t think so. It seems to me that you didn’t complete all the post installation tasks regarding the EPG configuration. For example, did you unlock the ANONYMOUS account (a typical reason for the error message you are getting)?
ALTER USER ANONYMOUS ACCOUNT UNLOCK;Please check the installation guide to make sure you completed all the post installation tasks.

That's basically a non-issue. (However, since you are installing on 64-bit there are issues which you may not see as easily.)

How to configure Oracle SSO for forms and apex

Hi All,
I am trying to configure oracle SSO for forms and apex using third party external authentication. Please help me how to configure. I a have tried all possible things
from web but I am not able to do it. Is there any doc or links are much appreciated.

Communication between TNS_Listener and Apex Listener

Dear all,
I how does the communication between TNS Listener, Apex Listener, and Apex? For some reason I got the following error from Apex listener:
Caused by: oracle.dbtools.rt.web.WebException: Unable to start the Universal Connection Pool: oracle.ucp.UniversalConnectionPoolException: Cannot get Connection from Datasource
Caused by: oracle.net.ns.NetException: Listener refused the connection with the following error:
ORA-12505, TNS:listener does not currently know of SID given in connect descriptorI truncated some of the Java object messages.
This occurred when I tried to connect to Apex. Then I can fix this by going to:
http://localhost:8080/apex/listenerConfigurethen, everything worked fine.
My listener.ora file:
LISTENER =
(DESCRIPTION_LIST =
    (DESCRIPTION =
      (ADDRESS = (PROTOCOL = IPC)(KEY = EXTPROC1521))
    (DESCRIPTION =
      (ADDRESS = (PROTOCOL = TCP)(HOST = firefly.snowdrop.com)(PORT = 1521))
ADR_BASE_LISTENER = /usr/local/oracle
ADR_BASE_ORACLE_LISTENER = /usr/local/oraclemy tnsnames.ora file
INARA =
(DESCRIPTION =
    (ADDRESS = (PROTOCOL = TCP)(HOST = firefly.snowdrop.com)(PORT = 1521))
    (CONNECT_DATA =
      (SERVER = DEDICATED)
      (SERVICE_NAME = inara.snowdrop.com)
)where inara is the instance name and firefly is the hostname.
Does the order of whether starting TNS Listener first or starting Apex Listener first matter?
Best regards,
Val

Hm, I'm not able to reproduce the error. There was one time when I started APEX Listener got:
java.net.BindException: Address already in use: 8080=com.sun.grizzly.http.SelectorThreadHandler@46d999aand when I did the netstat -a got:

There was one time netstat -a showed me this (this happened after I stopped Apex Listener, stopped TNS Listener, shutdown the database, started database, started TNS Listener, and started Apex Listener):

Image cache not working with Firefox and apex

Hi,
I'd like to cache all my images to save page rendering time and bandwidth because my images are all static and never change.
I use the John Scott's caching technique Link: [http://jes.blogs.shellprompt.net/2007/05/18/apex-delivering-pages-in-3-seconds-or-less/], in a few words this technique consists of adding a header line "Expires: date in the future" in the http response.
It works very well in IE, the images are cached and the same image can be accessed several times (within the same session or in different sessions) without issuing an http request to the server each time.
with Firefox it does not work, the same image is asked again and again to the server (i'm using FF 3.5 and APEX 3.2).
- Is it a date format problem? no, because when i type about:cache in FF, i can find my image in the cache with an expire date in the future.
The weird thing here is that the counter is incremented each time u request the image, so FF knows it is in the cache and even if the expire date is in the future, FF asks it again to the server.
- Is it a FF bug? If u read the http specs or if u google a little, u can come to the conclusion that FF does not follow the standards,
but... images.google.com for example manages to get its images cached with FF.
They use an http response header "cache-control: public, max-age=604800".
I tried the same and all kinds of combinations but without success.
When i compare my image with the one from google in the FF cache, they both have the same attributes.
- It's not an apex issue neither because it works with IE, most probably an incompatibility between apex and FF?
Maybe the use of cookie? or the http request (not the response) containing "cache-control: max-age=0"?
I've found so far 2 half solutions:
1) use ETag and modified date, see the Tyler Muth's note Link: [http://tylermuth.wordpress.com/2008/02/04/image-caching-in-plsql-applications/].
with this technique FF continues to send request each time but the answer is shorter because it's just a "304 not modified" instead of "200 OK" (200 response is bigger as it contains the image).
it's better than nothing but you still have 1 request + 1 response for nothing.
Another problem is that you need SYS access to implement this, which is not possible on an hosted server. (note that for images from the file system it is already foreseen by apex 3.1, Tyler's note is for images from the db)
2) if you preload the image (using myimage=new Image();myimage.src='...';), then there is max 1 request per browser session.
There are 2 minor issues here:
- no caching across sessions
- if u don't want to preload all the images (example a page with lots of thumbnails, when user clicks it show a bigger image, in that case the thumbnails can be preloaded but overkill for the big images), then you need to load the image, wait until the image has loaded before displaying it, it does not slow down the execution, but requires some extra JS.
I'm not asking anyone to investigate it, i can live with the 2 workarounds,
but just in case someone encountered the same problem and already fixed it.
Let me know if u managed to use the John Scott's technique with Firefox. (U can use Firebug to see the http traffic)
Thx
Tim

Hi Anshul, hope these help. Let me know if you need to see anything else.
