APEX 3.1.2 / HTTP-Server 10g PDF-Printing included

Hello together
I have APEX running on the Oracle HTTP-Server 10.1.3. Apex is working. Now i want to integrate PDF-printing. I found a lot of HowTos to realize that with a separate OC4J-Installation in an new $ORACLE_HOME.
Has anybody an Installation running with OC4J intergrated into the HTTP-Server (startable,stopable wirh opmnctl) ? Or an idea how to get that running ? Or a better Idea to print PDFs from APEX ?
Regards from Switzerland

Hello,
Carl Backstrom blogged about using Cocoon and Tomcat to integrate PDF-printing: http://carlback.blogspot.com/2007/03/apex-cocoon-pdf-and-more.html
Cocoon should be installable on an OC4J instance.
Another alternative is using PL/PDF: http://www.plpdf.com/
Hope this helps,
Dirk

Error starting http server 10g

After installing http server 10G it started fine. I then followed the instructions in apex install guide to create a marvel.conf file and edit the httpd.conf file. Now when I go to start the server i receive the following error in the log file:

Apex with XE10g/Tomcat 6.0.13 PDF Print with Apex FOP.WAR

Apex with XE10g/Tomcat 6.0.13 PDF Print with Apex fop.war/apex_fop.jsp
Hello,
Excuse me bad english.
I have a problem with Oracle XE and Printing from Reports over Tomcat 6.0.13.
I have update Oracle XE with Apex 3.1 and it works fine.
Now i have tried to Print a report to PDF. So i have deployed the FOP.WAR from Apex Utilities under Tomcat.
I see in Tomcat Manager http://localhost:8888/manager/html/list that the FOO
has been deployed and is running.
If i try to print then i get this Message down to this page.
Can anybody give me a hint to solve this problem???
Hint
To resolve the problem i have installed Oracle OC4J with same Port and deployed
the same foo.war file.
Then works and all printing from Oracle Apex work fine and okay.
So i thing the Apex and Oracle work correct.
But we have a small Application so i would prefer to work with Tomcat a application Server.
Becaus of previous Errors have copied some *.jar files to C:\tomcat6.0.13\lib
but i thing this is not the Problem.

Installation Problem about ORACLE HTTP SERVER 10g

I tried to install oracle http server on windows xp sp2. Everthing was all right until
it made some recommend tasks while installing. It could'nt start the http server at there. I completed the installation. After then when i connect to the internet and try to start http server it starts. But when i do not connect to the internet it gives an error like apache.exe couldn't start on executing ApacheModuleonsinst.dll. I want to learn what causes to this problem.

With this type of behaviour, you always need to find out the real error.
Try opening a command prompt (cmd) and running the command from the command line.
Then you can see what is going wrong.I have a question, I just upgraded our test 11i database (9i) to 10g (10.2), as a part of that upgraded forms, reports, graphics to patchset 18. Now planning to install 10giAS on appsTier on which forms, Apache and discoverer running. If I install 10giAS in differnet home, how can I get that in to appsTier?, does it mean adapcctl script no longer be used to start webservices?. I haven’t done this before, if my question is stupid, please ignore :).

Edited by: akulala on Dec 30, 2009 7:57 PM

In your middle tier (where your dads.conf file is located), do you have a file called marvel.conf (this was used in very early versions of APEX if memory servers)? If so you will either need to put your /pls/apex entry into your marvel.conf file of configure the App Server to user the dads.conf file. (I think all of this is done in the http.conf file but I am not 100%)
Also, this sounds like a stupid question but can you ensure that you only have entry in you dads.conf or marvel.conf file that relates to /pls/apex
If you are still having issues, try updating the line: PlsqlDatabaseConnectString faiz:1521:orcl ServiceNameFormat
to: PlsqlDatabaseConnectString TNS_ENTRY TNSFormat
where TNS_ENTRY is replaced by a valid TNS Identifier in the same Mid Tier home: ORACLE_HOME/network/admin/tnsnames.ora
Finally, in earlier versions you had to use a forward slash character as the last value in the Alias line i.e. Alias /i/ "E:/oracle/product/10.2.0/db/Apache/images\". I always configure this line in this way and never seem to have an issues. Not sure if this is required anymore but may be one more thing that is mis configured.
I hope all of that helps.
Let me know how you get on.

10GXE built-in http server and serving non-APEX pages

Hello!
I'm still looking around for more information on the http server software that was included with the 10gxe installation. I haven't been able to find anything about this. References have been to a separately installed web server product and associated folders||directories that don't seem to be relevant to the 10gXE installation.
Can someone tell me whether the http server that came with the 10gXE serve non-application express pages, such as jsp pages that support oracle's custom jsp tags?
If it can, can you give me a little more background, please. E.g., what is the name of the http server software's exe, where does the server software and supporting config file reside, and what is the equivalent web-inf directory for deploying a web app? A link to documentation about the built-in would be desirable.
Thank you.
Albert

Okay, I did these steps this morning on my own computer, it took about 30 mintues and worked fine:
A. Turn off your firewall, or be prepared to allow passage from TNSLSTNR.exe and oracle.exe several times.
B. MS Loopback adapter should be installed
C. Be sure you have a good backup
D. Looks like it uses NT services, wouldn't suggest install on XP Home
The steps are:
1. Run the install program downloaded from Oracle
2. When requested, enter your choice of password to use for SYS and SYSTEM (I'll use "QQ" as a sample later on in this list)
3. About 7 minutes later, install completes, offers to go to the DB home page, do it
4. Sign on as SYSTEM using the password you entered on #2
5. Click "Administration"
6. Click "Database Users"
7. Click "Create User" (this user will be your development schema)
8. Enter username ZZ, password ZZ, re-enter password ZZ, check all privilege boxes (substitute your selections for username and password)
9. Click "Create"
10. Click "Logout"
11. Click Start | Programs | Oracle DB 10g XE | Run SQL Command Line
12. Enter: conn sys/QQ as sysdba (remember, QQ is just my sample passwd)
13. Enter: begin <press enter>
14. Enter: dbms_epg.create_dad(dad_name=>'ox',path=>'/ox/*'); <press enter>
15. Enter: dbms_epg.set_dad_attribute(dad_name=>'ox',attr_name=>'database-username',attr_value=>'ZZ'); <press enter>
16. Enter: dbms_epg.authorize_dad(dad_name=>'ox',user=>'ZZ'); <press enter>
17. Enter: end; <press enter> / <press enter>
(should give a message about procedure successfully executed)
18. This code will serve as a test for your DAD: Enter:
create or replace procedure test1 as
begin
htp.p('<html><head><title>test page</title></head>');
htp.p('<body><p align=center>welcome to '||
to_char(sysdate,'Day, Month dd, yyyy hh:mi:ss am')||
'</p></body>');
end;
(should give a message about procedure successfully executed)
19. Using any browser on the machine, enter the URL:
http://localhost:8080/ox/test1
(should bring up a centered message with date and time in it)
that's all there is too the basic setup. Let me know if you have a problem, I'll answer as far as I'm able.

Missing HTTP Server on 11g Installation

Hi,
Just successfully installed 11g Enterprise. Which, as I understand it, comes bundled nowadays with APEX and the Oracle HTTP server.
But in my efforts to set up APEX and the HTTP server, I'm noticing a distinct lack of HTTP server! None of the files or folders that are supposed to present are there, but APEX is.
I've followed the documentation to the letter and its all gone well up to the part where I have to edit the dads.conf file, whereupon I've noticed that file doesnt exist, and neither does the entire directory structure leading to it:
"ORACLE_BASE\ORACLE_HTTPSERVER_HOME\ohs\modplsql\conf\dads.conf"
I cant see any obvious directory in the oracle base that could be the http server home directory.
Am I being dumb or blind, or am I genuinely missing the HTTP server and relevant directories and files?
Help much appreciated!

Use the EPG. In database 10g, the HTTP server was on the companion CD. In database 11g, HTTP server is not included(however you can download it if you really want to from the middleware stack or I guess from Apache). In database 11g, the deployment of APEX with HTTP server powered by Apache is deprecated in favour of the Embdded PLSQL Gateway (the modplsql bit from a HTTP server insde the database). The install guide includes both methods to give you a choice. Just because HTTP server is no longer included as part of the database media does not mean that you can not use it.

Integrate OC4J 10.0.x in Oracle Application Server 10g

Ok, i have a Oracle Application Server 10g Enterprise Instance including Infrastructure on a Linux-Server. Its OC4J is a 9.0.4 OC4J following the J2EE 1.3 standard.
So now Oracles offers a newer 10.0.x Developer Betarelease of OC4J wich will be in Production soon and happily enough this release implements J2EE 1.4 with real JAX-RPC Web Service Support (I need Web Services with Attachments!).
My question: How to integrate a 10.0.x-Version of OC4J in an Oracle Application Server 10g Enterprise (v 9.0.x) Installation ??? Whitepapers? Documentations? Internetlinks would help alot !
Thanks and keep the good work alive, oracle rules!!!
bye from germany, marc

Marc,
I don't have an answer for you (sorry), but actually, OC4J stand-alone is a complete application server -- unless Oracle have hacked it so much as to intentionally turn it into a not complete application server (it wouldn't surprise me ;-) Perhaps OC4J stand-alone will be sufficient for your requirements?
In case you are unaware, OC4J is derived from the "OrionServer". Unfortunately, their Web site is down temporarily, but these other sites may be enlightening:

Good Luck,
Avi.

Mod_oc4j Oracle HTTP Server 10.1.2.0.2

Hi!!
In this moment i made a installation in HA environment of Oracle AS 10gr2, but now i need plug a cluster the oc4j 10gr3 to this environment.
The question is: if i have a cluster in the web layer with Oracle HTTP Server 10g r2, can i use the Mod_oc4j to redirect request to the oc4j 10gr3 cluster? or i need install the Oracle HTTP Server 10gr3 for do it?
Any doc
Thanks in advance!!!

Hmm interesting question. Theoretically, I don't see why not, but the question is that 10.1.3 is a loose cluster managed by opmn and dcm so I don't know if the "cluster" option will still work. Why not give it a try "cluster:clustername" check the HA guide/clustering guide on mod_oc4j syntax. Also try indvidual 10.1.3 names.
Please let me know how things work out for you...I would like to follow up on this...
Thanks,
Deepak

Need Oracle HTTP Server for mod_plsql and link to download software

Hi all,
I want to use mod_plsql to publish HTML from the database.
Therefore, I need an Oracle HTTP Server with mod_plsql.
I have installed the "Oracle HTTP Server with Apache 2.0 10.1.3.1", but there is no mod_plsql included! The welcome page refers to a "Oracle HTTP Server Standalone Administrator's Guide Based On Apache 2.0" which is not installed and can' t be found on OTN.
Can someone give me a link to Oracle HTTP Server installation software which includes mod_plsql?
Any hints are welcome!
Thanks, Markus

Based on the version of the database, you could use the listener from that - the same XML DB uses. That would not require an application server install at all.
Alternative: the mod_plsql replacement cartridge off Tom Kyte's site: asktom.oracle.com. Source only - compile against your preferred Apache

SGD 4.6 - PDF Printing on Windows Clients not working

Dear all
Installed SGD 4.6 with Win2008 Terminal Server.
PDF printing works from Mac clients, but not from Windows XP.
Is this a known issue?
kind regards
Werner

Please be aware of the following:

New Default PDF Printer Driver for Windows Applications
The default printer driver used for Portable Document Format (PDF) printing from Windows application servers is now HP Color LaserJet 2800 Series PS. This change was made to provide support for Windows 7 and Windows Server 2008 application servers.
In previous releases, the default PDF printer driver was HP Color LaserJet 8500 PS. If you are upgrading from an installation that uses this printer driver, SGD is reconfigured automatically to use the new default printer driver. If you are upgrading from an installation where you have configured SGD to use a different printer driver, your existing configuration is preserved on upgrade. If you are using using Windows Server 2003, Windows Vista, or Windows XP application servers, the new default printer driver results in the PDF printer not being mapped.

PDF Printing asking for user id and password

Hi all,
We are using SAP Integrated ITS 640 . We have configured the PDF printing device as mentioned in the SAP Note # 771683 . We have configured SSO in portal for r/3 system and SSO works fine in portal for Internet services configured in backend but when i give print by selecting PDF printer as output device, ITS is prompting for r/3 user id and password at that time to view the PDF. Once i give r/3 user id and password ,i am able to view the PDF.
I found out that when PDF popup window opens it opens the HTTP url and not with the HTTPS url configured in the System configuration in portal. I feel this is the reason why i have been asked to enter user id and password. So could any one please let me know how to configure in R/3 backend to use the https url for PDF printing.
Thanks,
Vasu

Hi Klaus,
I checked the OSS note you have referred. We already are into SAP_BASIS patch level 18 and kernel patch level is 156 . Also i checked the RFC
RSPO_FRONT_DISPLAY_JOB
mentioned in the note . In that RFC i already have BASE_URL parameter included in import parameter with note # OSS 957292 in short text. Pls let me know how to proceed further.

Hi Donallenava,
Mac OS X has PDF printing included right on the system. As you can see in this picture:

Vista and 10g Http server +apex 3.0.1 Please help

previous unanswered post about not being able to find correct installation method.

10gEX + apex 3.0.1 works perfectly but my client will need more than 4GB of storage so wanted to upsize.
I've modified dads.conf and all other files as per guide but now http server is giving a '404' error. Should it be marvel.conf?
Can still access EM for 10g
Have checked alllocations for log files but none are being generated.
Have I broken HTTP server?
Please help or give some guidance as I have done this 9 times now without success!

Hi.
Oracle HTTP Server is part of a separate download, the Application Server 10g Realease 3:
http://www.oracle.com/technology/software/products/ias/index.html
In the 'For Deployment" section, download the proper Zip File for Windows (It took an hour on my machine) and unzip to a writable folder on your server.
Then you must use the Universal Installer to install.
Choose 'Advanced Install" and choose the HTTP Server option.
Make sure to read the Installation Guide. Good Luck.
