APEX 4 and Cognos 10

We have Cognos as a reporting tool.  Has anyone been able to successfully use Cognos as their reporting tool with APEX 4?    

Thanks for the response Jeff.
I am sorry I was not clear.  I totally understand what APEX is.  I should have phrased my question more like when I want to display my APEX report, I would like to use Cognos instead of BI Publisher.  Since we already have a very expensive reporting tool, Cognos,  we will not invest in Oracle BI Publisher.
So, my question is has anyone been able to incorporate Cognos Reporting format into APEX so if you need to print a report, it can be displayed and printed in Cognos?  Make sense? 
I have a feeling I know the answer, but people are extremely creative and perhaps someone has come up with a way to do this.

  • Calling APEX page in cognos report

    Hello,
    I am very new to APEX. I have the below requirement.
    I have Oracle database with Cognos tool. My cognos report display the data and business
    wanted to have url on the cognos report. Business wanted to click that link and open
    another page and they need to modify the data and save the data back to database.
    Is this possible to call apex page in cognos report? I just wanted to check this before
    i take this path.. Any suggestion is highly appreciated.

  • APEX Listener and EPG - strange behaviour

    Hi
    For some years, I've used EPG for APEX but have struggled with performance particularly as I can have up to 150 student developers using at any one time.
    I do a fair amount of work using ORDImage and have successfully developed APEX applications to upload image files and display full-size and thumbnail images.
    After upgrading to APEX 4.1 (from 4.0), I decided to install APEX Listener standalone.
    Before I did so I checked that my applications still worked in 4.1 and they did.
    However, just installing APEX Listener but not configuring it (yet) has meant that my image display in a report using a procedure based on wpg_docload.download_file( l_ordimage_image.source.localData ) no longer works in EPG - the images are not displayed.
    Configuring APEX Listener and running the same application through that DOES display the images.
    So this part of the application works under APEX Listener but not under EPG.
    My application also allows users to upload images from APEX_APPLICATION_FILES using standard code. Under APEX Listener after uploading, I'm left with a blank page with a wwv_flow.accept URL although the image does indeed upload. Under EPG it works as expected and I get a success confirmation.
    So this part of the application works under EPG but not under APEX Listener.
    Has anyone else come across different behaviour depending on the mode of connection?
    Thanks

    Hi Brian,
    it sounds like you have both EPG and APEX Listener running on the same machine, so your problem might result from a port conflict. Note that both services use TCP port 8080 as default.
    At least a port conflict would explain the strange behaviour in your case, some things working on one web server and some on the other.
    Some parts of your initial post hint to that direction, e.g.
    However, just installing APEX Listener but not configuring it (yet) has meant that my image display in a report using a procedure based on >wpg_docload.download_file( l_ordimage_image.source.localData ) no longer works in EPG - the images are not displayed.... because the APEX Listener only interfere with the EPG if it is at least running on the same machine as your database and furthermore, if it is unconfigured in terms of ist database connection, a port conflict might be the only way it could cause anything like that.
    However, if you are sure that's not the issue, please check if you see any error in the APEX Listener's log for the following action you performed:
    My application also allows users to upload images from APEX_APPLICATION_FILES using standard code. Under APEX Listener after uploading, I'm left with a blank >page with a wwv_flow.accept URL although the image does indeed uploadIf you actually see just a blank screen, something very bad must have happened and you should see some kind of stack trace there.
    For further investigations, if necessary, it would be helpful to know how you deployed or started your APEX Listener and which JDK version you use.
    For the moment, I still think the port conflict is my best guess.
    You could avoid it by either changing the port for EPG (I'd not recommend that if you have other users still using it) or by changing the port for your APEX Listener.

  • Apex RBAC and Seamless Single Sign ON

    Hi ,
    We are building a GBAC (Group Based Acces Control) and SSO Module in Apex (I know .. Reiventing the wheel) as we have budget constraints and there are some limitiations in standard Apex implementation.
    Problem Space:
    Apex Version: 4.1.1.00.23
    We have Multiple Workspaces and Multiple Applications within those Workspaces.
    Our Users currently have a separate link for each App - Very Cumbersome.
    The Current Authentication Mechanism is LDAP authentication. We have no Authorisation module in place.
    This is a security Nightmare as any user with a valid LDAP account can access the Apex Reports/Forms if they get their hands on the Link.
    Solution
    We have built an Admin Module where we create Groups (Not Apex Groups) and then assign applications to those Groups. Apex Groups have a limited Scope (Workspace only).
    Our Groups are Cross Workspace and can contain applications from Multiple Workspaces.
    We finally assign LDAP users to those Groups.
    All the Meta Information is stored in DB tables
    We also use a lot of the Apex Dictionary tables to Get Application info
    Where i am now Stuck
    We now have created a Single Lauch Point (New App) to simulate a SSO Portal
    Users will log into this Apex App using their LDAP Credentials.
    Once the user is successfully Authenticated by LDAP, we check all the Groups the User Belongs to and Populate the Launch Page with Links for the Apps the user has access.
    Now rather than Point the Link to Page 101 which is the login page we point the same to the Main Page (Page 1).
    When the user Clicks on the Link, he gets shown the Login Page Again.
    We do not want the user to Authenticate again as this defeats the Purpose.
    Any sort of Pointers most appreciated.

  • Apex Collections and dates

    Apex Collections and Dates
    I made an earlier posting today on the forum titled “‘ORA-01861: literal does not match format string’ error after my hosting company upgraded to Apex 3.2.” The issue relates to Apex collections and dates. Prior to the hosting company upgrading Apex 3.2 from 3.1 all was working OK. It seemed a reasonable assumption that the issue relates to the upgrade to 3.2. Having tested the code against another Apex 3.2 installation I am satisfied that the issue is not with Apex 3.2. That said, I am still getting the issue on the hosting site.
    To demonstrate the issue to my hosting company and this forum, I put together a simple one page application that demonstrates the issue using the least amount of code.
    I created a page with an ‘On Load – Before header” process that sets up an Apex Collection with a single value of ’20-FEB-2009’ in the c001 element as follows:
    if apex_collection.collection_exists(p_collection_name=>'THEISSUE') then
    apex_collection.delete_collection(p_collection_name=>'THEISSUE');
    end if;
    apex_collection.create_collection(p_collection_name => 'THEISSUE');
    APEX_COLLECTION.ADD_MEMBER(
    p_collection_name => 'THEISSUE',
    p_c001 => '20-FEB-2009');
    I added an SQL REPORT region to the page which uses the Apex Collection as follows:
    select to_date(c001,'DD-MON-YYYY') testdate
    from apex_collections
    where collection_name='THEISSUE'
    and to_date('20-FEB-2009','DD-MON-YYYY')
    = to_date(c001,'DD-MON-YYYY')
    When the page is run I get the ‘ORA-01861: literal does not match format string’ error.
    If I remove the following from the SQL Report Region:
    and to_date('20-FEB-2009','DD-MON-YYYY')
    = to_date(c001,'DD-MON-YYYY')
    and run the page, the date is displayed OK, i.e., c001 is converted to a date OK. This made me wonder whether it does not like the line to_date('20-FEB-2009','DD-MON-YYYY')? So I changed the where code for the report to :
    and to_date(c001,'DD-MON-YYYY')
    = to_date(c001,'DD-MON-YYYY')
    i.e., convert c001 to a date and compare it to itself. The rationale being that if the c001 converts to a date OK, then comparing c001 converted to a date with itself should not give an error. It did it gave the same error ‘ORA-01861’
    It would seem on my hosting site since the upgrade, that Apex and Oracle have problems with Apex Collection elements being converted to dates as part of the where clause.
    Now my understating of Oracle Apex collections in simple terms is that all Apex collections are held in a single Oracle table managed by a series of Apex functions. Given that all Apex collections are in the same table, could the issue be with the Oracle database when it is creating its execution plan for the query? Could Oracle be including the value of c001 from other collections (i.e., when c001 is not in a date format ) in the initial stages of its execution plan?
    I hope the above make sense and thanks in advance.
    Ian

    Scott,
    I believe I have found the answer the statistics on WWV_FLOW_COLLECTIONS$ and WWV_FLOW_COLLECTION_MEMBERS$. are out of date and Oracle is doing a full table scan instead of using the indices to select only the c001 columns that belong to the given collection_id. If I change my simple example to store the date value in c050 it works ok. (In all probability this will be the only collection on the hosted database to use c050).
    I have asked the hosting company to gather stats on all the apex tables.
    Thanks for your help

  • Few questions about apex + epg and cookie blocked by IE6

    Hi,
    I would like to ask a few questions about apex and epg.
    I have already installed and configured apex 3.2 on oracle 10g (on my localhost - computer name 'chen_rong', ip address -192.168.88.175 ), and enable anonymous access xdb http server.
    now,
    1. I can access 'http://chen_rong' , 'http://localhost' , 'http://192.168.88.175' without input username / password for realm 'XDB' in IE6;
    2. I can access 'http://localhost/apex/apex_admin' , 'http://192.168.88.175/apex/apex_admin' , and I can be redirected into apex administation page after input admin/<my apex admin password> for realm 'APEX' in IE6;
    3. I can access 'http://chen_rong/apex/apex_admin' in IE6, but after input admin/password , I can not be redirected into administation page, because the cookie was blocked by IE6.
    then, the first question is :
    Q1: What is the difference among 'http://chen_rong' , 'http://localhost' , 'http://192.168.88.175' ? I have already include site 'chen_rong' into my trusted stes! why the cookie was blocked by IE6. I have already tried firefox and google browser, both of them were ok for 'chen_rong', no cookie blocked from site 'chen_rong'!
    and,
    1. I have tried to use the script in attachment to test http authentication and also want to catch the cookie by utl_http .
    2. please review the script for me.
    3. I did:
    SQL> exec show_url('http://localhost/apex/apex_admin/','ADMIN','Passw0rd');
    HTTP response status code: 401
    HTTP response reason phrase: Unauthorized
    Please supplied the required Basic authentication username/password for realm XDB for the Web page.

    PL/SQL procedure successfully completed
    4. I also did :

    HTTP response status code: 500
    HTTP response reason phrase: Internal Server Error
    Check if the Web site is up.

    Content-Type: text/html
    Content-Length: 147
    WWW-Authenticate: Basic realm="APEX"
    ======================================
    PL/SQL procedure successfully completed
    my second questions is :
    Q2: After I entered into realm 'XDB', I still need went into realm'APEX'. how could I change the script show_url to accomplish these two tasks and successfully get the cookie from site.
    the show_url script is as following:

  • Discoverer 10g and Cognos

    Does anybody have any document outlining differences between capabilities between discoverer and cognos?
    How effecting reporting tool is discoverer when it comes to OLTP reporting?
    Thanks

    You should check with your Oracle or Cognos sales consultant. Depending on whom you ask you will get an answer weighted towards one vendor or the other :)
    What do you mean by reporting? Discoverer is a tool that you can use for both adhoc querying as well as reporting. It also offers integrated reporting against both relational and OLAP data sources, leverages the Oracle database's analytic and BI platform capabilities, is integrated with the Oracle Application Server, offers a quick and easy way to create BI dashboards in Oracle Portal, is the only BI tool to be certified against and work with the the Oracle eBusiness Suite security model out of the box, and lots more...
    Of course, if enterprise reporting capabilities are all you are looking for, then I would suggest you take a look at Oracle Reports and the just announced Oracle XML Publisher.
    You should also check out product demos, white papers, presentations, documentations, etc... - all available on OTN. Some links are provided below. Finally, you could even try out the software - free (under a developer license), which is more than can be said about Cognos or other vendors that are too scared of letting people even try out their software without first purchasing it.

  • How does Apex access and manage db objects in other schemas?

    I'm looking for a description of how Apex accesses and manages database objects in other schemas.
    I'm sure I've seen such a description somewhere earlier but am unable to find it again...

    Hi Rene,
    When you are connected to sqlworkshop, it is basically connected to the sceham owner of the workspace. If you execute the query
    select sys_context( 'userenv', 'current_schema' ), user,  username from user_users;you would see the schema and user(currently connected) and schema owner through which you have logged in. The user will have all the privileges granted to schema owner. So basically you get connected through APEX_PUBLIC_USER and it has all the privileges of the schema owner.
    In order to run scripts in another schema you would need grants on other schema same like you are connected to user A through sqlplus and wants to create objects in schema B. For example lets say you want to create a table in schema B and you have create table privileges in scehma B , you can execute command create table B.emp as select * from A.emp;
    I hope this answers your question.

    Hi Shana,
    Is Informatica a OLTP system like R/3 ? If yes, then from this I understand that Informatica is another ERP like SAP where it gets data from users like R/3 and generate reports.
    When Informatica is connected to SAP, ETL process invols extraction of reports -> do some modification -> load and generate reports on these, pls correct me if I am wrong.
    Here there are 2 ETL stages right ? one Informatica itself a ETL tool and 2nd ETL when it is connected to SAP.
    Informatica and R/3 are they same in functionality ?

    I have issue in Extracting Metadata out of Essbase cubes. I can extract Entity dimension without any issue. When I try to extract Accounts DIM I get error at SS_O MetadataExtract step with "No_matching_Enum_found". Couldn't find any refernce for it.
    Tried importing V11 jar files, imported LKM_Essbase_Metadata_SQL again. Nothing seems to solve the problem.
    I saw one thread abt it in Planning. No solution for it though..

    Is it legal to create packaged APEX applications and sell them to Oracle DB licensed clients?
    A.

    No licensing applies to any environment where you have a live database. The exception is that you can try a product without license, but as soon as development of a product of developing/testing of an in-house solution is done, you need to be licensed. Being a partner changes this slightly assuming all parties involved are partners (one sigle tester from the outside shifts it back to full license mode).
    Another situation where license is not needed is to use XE for which no license is required.
    Yet one more way to have al low cost is to use Amazon AWS to set up an image with an included license. The cost per hour is really low so it may be a good model to not have to pay everything upfront.
    You can also reduce license cost by using named user licensing in development assuming there are few people who ned to access the database. Though there are minimums of number of named user licenses you can have depending on edition of the database.
    Overall, knowing your licensing requirements is key. The defense "We didn't know" has been tried before and has not proven to help at all. The cost of an audit will often be a CLM for the person responsible to pay the licenses.
