Apex : link to jasperReport

Hi everybody
i found a blog (http://sqlcur.blogspot.com/2009/02/jasperreports-in-apex.html) about an URL which enable to access my report published with iReport and JasperServer, and passing parameter
but i'm not sure to understand very well all elements in this URL
http://server:port/jasperserver/flow.html?_flowId=viewReportFlow&reportUnit=/reports/Apex/deptemp&output=pdf&deptNo=#DEPTNO#&j_username=un&j_password=pw
I think i can understand all the elements except how to use "reportUnit" :
- Have i to create this path in my tomcat/webapps/jasperserver/ directory ? or can I change it like i want ?
- and is "deptemp" the name of my .jrxml file or something else?
for instance, i can write this URL in column link field of my report in my Apex application :
http://localhost:8180/jasperserver/flow.html?_flowId=viewReportFlow&reportUnit=/reports/apexTest&output=pdf&idEmp=#ID_EMP#&j_username=jasperadmin&j_password=jasperadmin
my SQL query is for instance:
select ID_EMP, NAME_EMP from EMP where ID_EMP = $P{idEmp}
i have actually created a directory called reports/ in my jasperserver/ directory and my jrxml file is called apexTest.jrxml
but it doesn't work so i think it can be because of the reportUnit path...
thanks in advance for your help

Ok, so here's the deal...
I'm running an application that displays information on every viaduct in the city of chicago. Each viaduct has a reference number (unique).
I'm also running a separate application (externally) in a program called Digital paper. This program stores pictures of the viaducts, all indexed by the same unique reference number.
I also have an seperate application (external) that shows the location of the viaduct on a map. The application is called ArcGIS. These locations are also referenced by the same unique reference number.
I want to link these three applications together so that they work together so that I won't have to create duplicate entries. I also want to be able to go into APEX, see the viaduct information and be able to link to its mapped location or photo.
Am I shooting for the stars or what??? Is this at all possible?

APEX Links in Flash

Hi
I have a flash animation in my APEX application.
I want to be able to click on the flash animation and goto the another page in my APEX app.
I've tried putting the link in the flash file but it loses the APEX variables, so doesnt work.
Any ideas how I could do this, maybe javascript but I've not got much experience with javascript so any help will be useful :)
Thanks

Apex link not able to connect from local machine.

Hi,
Here is the scenario.
I have installed oracle apex 3.2 in my vmware linux machine.
I'm able to connect the link (http://b03apex.domain.com) from my linux(vmware) box but I'm not able to connect from windows local machine.
I tried to ping the ip, from both the ends are working but not sure why I'm not able to connect from windows local machine.
local windows ip: 192.168.1.2
vmware Linux ip address : 192.168.1.3
Do I need to do add any parameters in the Apache logs to connect from windows local machine.?
Need your suggestion.
Thanks, Muhammed.

Can you ping the VM hostname from your Windows console (instead of IP address)?
Have you tried in your Windows browser the following URL (using IP address of the VM instead of the hostname)?
http://192.168.1.3/
Have you checked that your browser is not configured to use a proxy server?
Have you checked your Windows firewall for allowing tcp web traffic to the virtual machine?
Have you checked for the same on on the virtual machine (firewall will be likely be done using <i>iptables</i>).

Apex link (Created using href) is not working

Hello All,
1. I have created a click able on the APEX page for the attached link (stored in the oracle db table)
Using below query
SELECT '<a href="' ||'file:///'||Package.function(p_parameter)||'" target="_blank">'|| package.function (p_parameter_id )||'</a>'
AS href
FROM prag.t1, t2
WHERE    condition.t1 = condition.t2
AND ID =p_id
2. The attached link from the path are opening in a new window perfectly for me.
\\sih82566\k1_ora$\K1IS\TEST1I\WORKDIR\Gaurav\146539_Scripts.SQL
3. The attached link from the path such as
C:\Documentss%20and%20Settings\gaurav\Desktop\f120.sql
are not accessible to me. There is not any error message also on click on this link.
Note:I am using using APEX in my citrix machine
Thank you.
Regards,
Gaurav Nagpal.

Hello Hari ,
I was expecting suggestion from you and finally you replied thanks a ton.
For your first question :->
I think the problem is with "citrix". Can you just run the application from your machine and see if you can access the file?
      Yes, I copied the link " C:\Documentss%20and%20Settings\gaurav\Desktop\f120.sql " and paste on IE its working perfectly.
When you run browser from citrix, then C:\.. will refer to local drive of Citrix machine, not your local machine!
    Attached link from C:\. is not working (either I attach link from citrix machine or my local machine)
It would be really very helpful if you can suggest me more in solving this issue.
Thank you.
Regards,
Gaurav Nagpal.

Hiding Apex link from users

My users/developers use a "shortcut" to access apex. I want to hide the original link in their browser for security reasons.
For expample instead of http://host:7780/pls/apex I want to display http://yourapp
Basically I want to prevent them from copying and pasting links once they used a shortcut.
I added this to my dads.conf. It should work but for some reason it does not. Can you tell me what is wrong?
RewriteEngine On
RewriteRule ^http://host:7780/pls/apex$ http://yourapp [R=301]
Thanks!!!

At this point you cannot remove the content area from the search list or Navigator. You can remove access by unchecking the 'Make Public' flag on the root folder. This will disallow access to the content area but it will still show up in these lists. We are fixing this for the June release (3.0.9/9iAS MR2)

How to use external links to show a specific page with a parametrer ?

Hi everybody,
we discovered an annoying problem while we were developping applications who are sending emails after creating a new record. We are creating a valid APEX link which call our applications correctly, on the right page, and with the right parameter. The first time we log in, it works perfectly. The problem is when the user is trying to call an other record from the next email. It's not working unless we close our session. I guess it's a protection against hacking, but we can't ask the user to connect and disconnect every time they wants to watch a specific record directly from a mail ?
The only way I can imagin to resolve this problem, is to open a page that will show all the newest entries in the table from a parameter. It could work for our applications that requires a lot travel between records.
Do you have any other solution we could use ?
Thanks

Edited by: leinadjan on 2010-08-24 11:40

Not the application, the page their are accessing.. Since you are using check-sums on the links and some sort of authentication, unless you build your authentication to allow a certain user access via e-mail, you will have issues.
Have you seen this example of doing a survey through e-mail in APEX?: http://apex.oracle.com/pls/otn/f?p=9487:28:426474841717567::NO:28::

Installing Oracle Apex 3.2 on Oracle 10g Database Steps

Hi,
I am new to installation of oracle apex and oracle 10g Enterprise Edition. I had earlier installed Oracle 10g XE and Apex 3.2 in my location machine.
Now I need to install Oracle apex 3.2 on oracle 10g enterprise edition
I did the following steps:
Step 1: I installed Oracle 10g Enterprise edition
Step 2: Installed Oracle apex 3.2 on my location Machine with the below steps again
1> SQL> CONNECT SYS as SYSDBA
2> apexins SYSAUX SYSAUX TEMP /i/
3> @apxchpwd (Changed the admin password)
4> @apxldimg.sql SYSTEM_DRIVE:\APEX32 ( local system path)
Step 3: What is the next step, Please suggest me how to get the host name and port number I am bit confused here also suggest me is the above step which i followed is correct or not?
Earlier when i installed oracle XE i had the local host path as a shortcut to get. Here i cant find that. Please suggest me how to get the URL link to access the apex link
I followed the same process how it is mentioned in this link http://docs.oracle.com/cd/E14373_01/install.32/e13366/otn_install.htm#insertedID2

So if you have installed on your workstation/laptop you can simply try http://localhost:8080/apex

1) Should I be using HTTP mod_plsql or XDB listener for pl/sql
2) How can I trouble shoot this? Am I missing anything in the install?
Any help would be greatly appreciated

1) Should I be using HTTP mod_plsql or XDB listener for pl/sqlI always use the former with no issues (integrated with SOA). I remember I tired the latter once and could not display the main page (not sure if it is supported).
2) How can I trouble shoot this? Am I missing anything in the install?Please see old threads for similar discussion.

Error after copying and modifying a page in APEX

I have copied (duplicated) and modified a "Form on a Table with Report" in my application.
The new form does the same as the old one, but it uses a different database table. The original form was made with the help of APEX.
After I corrected the table and field names in the new form, I experienced the following error:
The row edit icons on the new form refer to the records of the OLD table. If I click on them, the record edit screen appears with the content of the row in the old table. This causes an other error too, because the record number in the new table doesn't always point to an existing record in the old one. In this case I get an error: ORA-01403: no data found / Error Unable to fetch row.
I don't know where to correct this hyperlink, I guess this is an automated link from the XE !?
Thanks for any help in advance.

Please post Application Express related issues on the dedicated forum at Oracle Application Express (APEX)
Links' attributes are set at form creation time only so after copying they refer to the same objects the base page does.

APEX Downloadable Reports

I am working with the reports (you define under shared components) and I have run into a bit of a snag. I have 3 queries for my report however 2 of the three must be joined to the first. How do you go about joining the queries together where the key value for the dependent queries is a value in the first query? If I was in BI Publisher I would built it as a data template and join them using bind variables but I am unsure if this is even doable with out moving over and building it in BIP.
Edited by: David Pulliam on Jan 13, 2009 2:53 PM

We have a BIP Server and its tied to apex but we were tryign to avoid having to go through the extra trouble with this particular report of setting up a new OID Group yada yada as the report's users will change on a regular basis and we need to keep them out of other reports the normal OID group for this application would see directly on BIP (they could manipulate the URL and see reports they are not suposed to with our security model if we gave them access to the same group). I was kind of hoping to build it as an RTF template but then somehow in APEX link it through bind variables between the queries like you can in BIP proper as this particular report does not need the advanced functions that BIP provides and just using APEX for security would be easier to setup and maintain than the OID rigmarole. Don't get me wrong, we use OID and SSO here for the main application users who can see all the reports, its just a special case where it seemed easier to manage by placeing it directly in APEX.

What Puzzles Me About Apex

Recently I needed to rearrange nearly 50 columns in a "classic" type report in one of my Apex 4.0.1 applications. It was so laborious and tedious. In the "Report" tab, one by one I had to click the up or down arrows on each successive row, all the while keeping my eyes focused on where I was in the report lest I overshoot my target destination and, horrors, lest I mistakenly move the "wrong" column. It was an exercise in patience. How I longed for a simpler way to do this. Even having the option to move an item entirely to the top or entirely to the bottom of the column stack (as supplied for a "shuttle" item, for example) would have helped. But, alas, not even this amenity exists.
After finally completing this task, I began dwelling on other areas in Apex that I (and if one searches through just this past year's posts in this Forum, others as well) find frustrating. I wanted to know what others and, especially, members of the Apex development team, think about these things. Hence, the reason for this post. I am puzzled why the following things have not been addressed.
1) As mentioned at the outset, there is not an easier way to rearrange column ordering in both "classic" and IR reports. When reports (commonly) have 25 or more columns, and especially if one requires one or more columns to be moved from one end of the stack to the other, this is a productivity killer.
2) The Apex API makes it easy to create all sorts of objects within a region: text fields, display only items, dropdowns, popups, and now even JQuery like dynamic actions. But the one item that Apex does not make it easy to create is a hyperlink. This has always puzzled me. Surely one of the fundamental constituants of the web is the hyperlink. All Apex offers are fields (on forms, within SQL queries, etc.) in which the developer may construct a link. But there is no interface that walks the devleoper through the process of creating a link. One may say that creating a link should be one of those basic things every Apex/web developer ought to know. But one may equally apply that logic to most of the other aforementioned items. And I believe creating a hyperlink is more complex than creating, say, an input text field. Instead, one must muddle through the docs or look at previous examples to figure out how to construct an appropriate link. Why is there no step-by-step interface in the Apex API to help with this? There is for, say, a text field or a dropdown, but not for a link. Strange.
3) You need to create a form with 10 columns and 15 rows. Forget it. Apex complains about "a 100 cell limit on a form". This is another one of those puzzlements. What is the rational for this limit? It is so un-realistic and does not jive with today's business requirements. I first ran into this limitation on a form way back in version 1.x. And here we are three major versions ahead and we are still looking at this limitation. Why?
4) A fellow developer recently needed to import a page (not the application, just one of the pages) from one workspace to another. These two workspaces happened to reside in different Oracle instances (Dev and Prod).
Unlike importing an entire application, there is no intuitive way to do this. Instead, one must go into the actual export .SQL file and modify several of the included parameters. And even this is not straightforward. Surely, there needs to be an easier way (meaning, automatic way as in clicking a few buttons).
5) Years ago I used Microsoft's FrontPage tool to create a website. One of its nice features is the ability to automatically generate a "site map" of your website. A diagram would be created in which one may easily see which page "calls" or "redirects" to another page. Over the years I have either created (or inherited) Apex applications that sport 50 or more pages. Starting with, say, page 10, have you ever tried to figure out what page(s) called or redirected to page 10? If your Apex app only has 5 pages total, this is not a big deal. But with 50+pages, this is a big deal. A sitemap would have proved an invaluable productivity enhancer at this point. You might think, well, this would be a great Apex plugin idea. And you would be correct. But what puzzles me is that shouldn't this be a builtin "feature" of the Apex API, especially in a fourth major release of the product? Yes, I'm aware that Apex provides views from which one could gather this type of "which page called another page" information. It's just that I am using an API for the main purpose of making database/web development faster/easier. From a business perspective, this means saving money. For example, strictly speaking one need not bother with JQuery. Everything JQuery can do can be done using straight Javascript. It's just that JQuery provides an API making it much easier to implement common Javascript tasks. It's the same with the Apex API. I should not have to wait for someone to create a "sitemap" plugin. I realize that creating such a sitemap is not trival. Still, the logic/algorithm has existed for years as seen in FrontPage, DreamWeaver, and other APIs. I am puzzled why the APEX API does not already include this feature.
6) Recently, I needed to position several text fields within a given region of a page. It proved to be another exercise in patience. I needed to muddle with css style tags. Save my work. Refresh another browser window in order to see the results. Then go through the whole exercise over and over. Worse, while positioning a field I unitentionally moved other fields and regions into un-expected places on the screen. Worse yet, IE (version 8 and 9) caused these items to appear one way while Firefox (version 3.x) positioned them a different way. When the dust finally settled, I fould myself pining away for a tool like DreamWeaver in which I could just use my mouse to position items on the screen, all the while in the background the tool writes the necessary css style tags (cross browser compatible to boot). Yes, I realize that the Apex API is a "declaritive" environment, not a "GUI" based one. Still, in my code-tempered brain, I believe there is some way to meld the two and make it easier, more intuitive to position fields and regions on a page. This, too, is a great puzzlement to me.
Reading this, one might conclude that Elie is really "down" on Apex. This would be wrong. On the contrary, I like Apex quite alot and have been using it at my various work places over the past seven years. As mentioned at the outset, I wrote this out of my frustration in completing a task that I would have thought should not be so tedious.
Things like dynamic actions are, indeed, useful and even "cool". But in my experience I have found the more "mundane" tasks like rearranging report columns and positioning fields on a page and deciphering the page flow in a website are the things that developers spend the most time on. These are the things that any database/web development API should be attempting to streamline.
So, I am wondering why the above issues (and likely there are others) have not been addressed despite the fact that we are now in the fourth major release.
Thank you.
Elie

Hi, VANJ.
I want to thank you for your comments.
With respect to:
[1]: I did not realize that the "tree view" offers report column rearrangement. I'm so used to using the Component View that I did not bother to check the Tree View all that thoroughly. I guess, then, "I need to".
[2]: I was referring to an Apex interface that allows developers to create different types of links (absolute; relative; specify targets such as "_self", "_blank"; specify anchor tags; mailto links). Especially, I was looking for an interface making it easy to specify the various parts of an Apex link such as the debug flag, the printer friendly tag, and the "pass item/value" pairs tags. I realize none of these things are terribly difficult. Still, I at least cannot always remember the correct syntax for these different types of links. And this is especially true for the syntax needed for the Apex type links. I often need to refer to online docs and such. It just would be a time saver if the Apex API would offer such an interface much like it currently does for many other web ytype components like input fields and such.
[3]: I had always thought that the 100-item limit refers to"100 cells" in a form. I did not realize that this is referring to 100 page items. That said, I would have sworn that I had received an error about this limit on a form page. And I definitely did not have more than 100 page items on that page. I am not sure if the 100-page item limit also includes "page 0 "type items since these appear on every page in the application. In any case, I seriously doubt that I had anywhere close to 100 page items (page 0 or otherwise) on my form page when encountering this limit. Also, considering the numerous comments on this Forum about this "limit", I doubt that these unfortunate souls also had more than 100 page items on their page when they experienced this same "limit". In any case, it's an easy thing to check out, and so, I will do that.
[4]: What I had hoped for was a GUI type interface that just makes it "drop dead simple" to copy a page from one workspace to another, similar to the intuitive interface Apex provides to importan entire application. I had not heard of the apex_application_install utility. I'll defintely be checking this guy out. Thank you. You said it offers some flexibility. By this, do you mean that it offers a way to import a page from one workspace to another?
[5]: Ah. We do agree here.
[6]: Thanks for mentioning the drag-and-drop feature. I had tried this out and unfortunately it just doesn't really help with respect to positioning regions and items on a page in a cross browser compatible fashion. A WYSIWYG interface would be a great feature in such a robust API as Apex.
Since creating my post, I thought of yet another couple of "puzzlements" I have with the Apex API.
7) I wonder why one may include only a single IR report on a page. This has always baffled me. I am aware that one can create a page containing multiple iframes. And then populate each iframe with an IR report that really resides on its own separate page. I've tried this technique and it works very nicely. Still, I can only wonder if the good folks at Oracle/Apex will one day make multiple IR reports ona single page a builtin feature rather than having to rely on this iframe workaround or a JQuery set of page tabs workaround.
8) Again with respect to IR reports, I am puzzled why an IR report can be based solely on SQL as opposed to PLSQL. I did find a workaround to this limitation by using an Oracle table function as the underpinning of the IR report. This works. Still it is a kludge. And so, as with (7), I can only hope a future release of Apex will remove this limitation.
Thank you.
