APEX Form and Report with SDO_GEOMETRY datatype

Hi,
I am trying to create an apex entry form with report based on a table which has a column of sdo_geometry datatype.
When I create the form through the wizard, the sdo_geometry column doesnot appear on running the form and is also not displayed under the item lists on the page. The report is also created by wizard and displays {datatype} under the SDO_GEOMETRY column.
I want to know how to handle this particular data type - sdo_geometry in application express 3.0 ?
Thanks in advance.

Hello,
I'm not sure APEX is "smart" enough to understand that datatype.
How does your query look like? If you look here: http://download.oracle.com/docs/html/A96630_01/sdo_meth.htm and you use one of the functions that returns a number that should work.
So in short, as you are in html, can you represent your data as a string or a number or an image/swf/...? If so APEX can display it.

Deploy Forms and Reports with Load Balancing

I am trying to determine what we need to install here. I have read OracleAS, Web Cache, Application Server, and
Forms documents and have no answer still.
We are currently run 9iAS with Forms and Reports 6i only.
I did not do any of those installs. We are migrating to
Forms and Reports 10g. I need to setup an OracleAS 10g
Forms and Reports application server with the ability to
do Load Balancing over 2 windows Web servers to handle
4,000+ users. The application database will be on its own
Windows server.
Do I need to install the Infastructure, BI, and Web cache?
Or just Oracle 10g Application Server option? Or other?
Do I need to install it on both web servers and do
something like clustering? Do I need to install Web
cache? I just took the 10g AS class and basically did not learn anything about deploying Forms and Reports.
Can anyone give me a place to find the things I need to
install and setup?
Thanks.
Kim

I am a DBA and have not done an iAS or AS installation
before but am now required to learn it. We will be using
SSL and no load balancing hardware. We setup for other
customer sites and setting Windows servers in the past.
We have not done load balancing before.
I am just confused with all the 10gAS options there are to
install to just run 10g Forms and Reports and setup
OracleAS 10g with the load balancing features.
So I just need to install OracleAS Forms and Reports
Server if I am just installing Forms and Reports with SSL.
But if for Load Balancing Oracle 10g I need to cluster
just Reports 10g? I thought I would need OracleAS10g
installed on my two Windows servers and somehow cluster
or let the two know they are the same web page handling
the incoming requests? I do know about Apache redirct. Is
that an Apache feature and is it covered in an Oracle
documentation? They did not cover it in class either.

How to know report server name in oracle forms and reports with weblogic server 10.3.5

Hello Experts, I am new in oracle forms and reports.I have installed Oracle forms 11g with weblogic server 10.3.5 at windows 7.Forms and reports are working well.But I want to call a report from an oracle form button press trigger. For This I need to know the my report server name which i dont know.Please tell me how can I know my report server name.

I want to call a report from an oracle form button press trigger. For This I need to know the my report server name
You can find the name of the standalone reports server in $ORACLE_INSTANCE/config/ReportsServerComponent.
Or you can use Fusion Middleware Control Console, normally at http://<machine name>:7001/em

Load Balancing Forms and Reports with Web Cache

We are planning to add a second OracleAS 10g middle-tier application server to an existing 10g middle-tier.
Both middle tiers will provide Forms and Reports.
Users must pass through two static HTML pages before starting Forms.
We plan to use Web Cache to load-balance (probably using round-robin) between the two middle-tiers.
Does anyone see any problems with this solution?
All comments/suggestions welcome.
Thanks,
Jim

You could also load balance the two OC4J's using standard servlet mechanisms. I know that there exists a couple of good notes on Metalink. Go and do a search.

FORMS AND REPORTS WITH IDS10g

Hi Folks!!!
I have an IDS10g (10.1.2) WinXP and I want to test a form that call a report, I read in the documentation that rwserver is obsolete, my questions are:
1. It's possible test this environment form that call a report with IDS10g(10.1.2) only or I must install Forms and Reports Services.
2. If the answer is yes (with IDS10g 10.1.2), which is the command for install the report services (in the v.9.0.4 is rwserver and work fine).
Very thanks and regards,
Wilson

Hi,

Yes
2. If the answer is yes (with IDS10g 10.1.2), which is the command for install the report services (in the v.9.0.4 is rwserver and work fine).
Don't use rwserver -install but just rwserver with a name to start up Reports Server

But unfortunally for this particular client he cannont have installed a Oracle database due to internal policies restrictions.
I can not migrate the full application to another technology like ADF in less than 6 or 8 months.
Do you thifnk that there is any other solution?

Oracle 9i running forms and reports with user/pass

Hi all!
How can I hide the user name and password in the internet explorer as it is shown in the full path for the sake of security I need it and also how can I pass the user/pass from a form to report without showing in address bar of Internet Explorer.
Regards
Mayank Sharma

Dear Mayank,
You can use "CGICMD.dat" file. This file can be used to add key mappings.
You add following lines at the end of this file.
MYKEY: USERID=<user_name>/<password>@<connection_string> %*
You need to restart your OC4J Instance to make above changes effective..
Then, in your web.show_document url include "CMDKEY=MYKEY".
This will definitely solve your problem.

Oracle Apex forms and reports

hi i am created one region and in that region one button named 'show' is there. when ever i click on the button it displays table and automatically the button changed to 'hide' whenever i click on the hide button it displaya empty region with show button . can you please tell me the way

You don't really MIGRATE TO APEX, it's more of a re-development process.. Your existing PL/SQL code can be re-used where viable, but in Forms & Reports you have a state environment versus a stateless environment with APEX..
APEX also has that similar middleware (APEX Listener with WebLogic or Glassfish).. So you have to understand that you will need to think about what you REALLY want from a move to APEX..
Do Forms & Reports work for you still, then you MIGHT want to stay there with them.. Otherwise, moving to APEX would be a Long-Term choice.. Since the future of Forms & Reports is not too bright..
Thank you,

Kindly advise.Yes, you definately needed to mention that. That suggests you also have 3 $ORACLE_HOME/network/admin directories, each with its own tnsnames.ora file. So you need to make sure you are hitting the correct one. I'd pick one to be the controlling one and set the TNS_ADMIN enviornment variable to point to it.

Looks like there is a 127-column limit on the number of report columns supported when using that wizard. Do you have more than that?

i exported the application from apex.oracle.com and imported it to our environment
import went fine, but when I ran the IR page I got
ORA-20001: get_dbms_sql_cursor error ORA-00904: : invalid identifier
evidently the problem is a lack of public execute on DBMS_LOB, which is used in the generated IR source.
while waiting for the DBA to grant privs on DBMS_LOB, changing the dbms_lob.getlength call to length() fixes the IR.
however, i am not getting the download link on the associated form page... changed templates, that's not the issue -- we'll see if that's a dbms_lob issue as well
