APEX & Oracle XE

Hello:
I just installed Oracle XE successfully. I know that Application Express comes bundled with XE.
I also have Oracle 10g installed. Do I have to download and install Application Express 3.0 to use with my Oracle 10g DB or can I use the Application Express that came bundled with XE?
Thanks for the info.

Hi,
Thanks for the reply. Can you do me a favor and look over my install instructions? When I installed 2.2, it seemed that there were a lot more steps. Before I start this install, I want to make sure that I have my install process in the correct order.
I'm working with Windows XP.
1. In unzipped the downloaded file into the following directory: c:\Helen\apex_3.0.1
2. Change to working directory. I presume my working directory is c:\Helen\apex_3.0.1
3. At c:\Helen\apex_3.0.1>sqlplus sys/password as sysdba
4. I created a tablespace to server my APEX data files. At the above prompt; I type:
@apexins <password> apex apex temp /i/ <sid>
5. Then,
c:\>xcopy /E /I c:\helen\apex_3.0.1\apex\images c:\oracle\product\10.2.0\ohs\Apache\images;
where :\oracle\product\10.2.0\ohs is my ORACLE_HTTPSERVER_HOME
6. Now for the DADS file (I am not sure if this is the correct statement for the Alias):
Alias /i/ "C:\oracle\product\10.2.0\ohs\Apache\images/"
-Also I'm not sure about my connect string.
PlsqlDatabaseConnectString Helen:1521:orcl;
where Helen is the Host,
1521 is the port for the 10g Listener
orcl service name
7. Then start and restart the Oracle HTTP Server
8. Test the application. Here is where I get a bit confused. The documentation says to type the following URL to access APEX:
http://host:7777/pls/apex
What is the difference between the port 1521 and 7777? I know that when I installed the HTTP Server, port 7777 was assigned. Yet, in the DADS file, I'm defining 1521 as the port for the connect string.
Is my port in the connect string statement in #6 used correctly? Or, should the port say 7777?
If you can help me out with the procedure that would be wonderful.
Thank you.

I copied the version of webutil.pll file from the developer suite onto the server.
This has got it working and the file(s) I am uploading are going through correctly.
I still have one query though. The progress bar which displays the upload progress seems to be in the top left corner of the screen, any parameters we can set so as to get it in the middle of the screen?

Print PDF error msg in apex oracle BI publisher

Hi, I am getting error msg, "File can not be open because either it is not supported file type or file has been damage" when clicking Print PDF button from Apex oracle run application on oracle server...please help...

I see this error when generating BI-Publisher reports that return no data. Check your query to verify it returns data. Also check that any bind variables used by the query have appropriate values.
If it is the case where your query returns no data but you'd like to avoid the confusing message you can code around it by adding the following logic in your report template. For this work around to work it assumes you've got BI-Publisher licensing (you can create report queries and report templates through shared components).
In the following example it is assumed that the xml structure has a REGION element. You can substitute the REGION element with whatever element works for your xml structure.
Example XML structure
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8" ?>
<ROWSET>
<ROW>
    <REGION>Central Office</REGION>
    <LOCATION>Materials Management</LOCATION>
    <DIRECTOR>Blow, Joe</DIRECTOR>
    <NOTES />
</ROW>
<ROW>
    <REGION>Second Region</REGION>
    <LOCATION>Accounts Payable</LOCATION>
    <DIRECTOR>Blow, Jill</DIRECTOR>
    <NOTES />
</ROW>
</ROWSET>Add code like the following to your template. The code looks to see if records exist in the xml structure. If records DO NOT EXIST then it will return a pdf with the statement "No Data Found for Specified Search Criteria". Of course if data exists... you'll see that on your report.
<?if: REGION = ''?>
     No Data Found For Specified Search Criteria
<?end if?>
<?if: REGION != ''?>
    your_data_group_starts
    your report template definition
    your_data_group_ends
<?end if?>

Can APEX/ORACLE connect to a mysql database?

Hi
Just wondered whether APEX and ORACLE could connect to mysql database. I may have a requirement to link to a mysql database and retrieve the data and wondered if APEX could do this.
Thanks

Hi
Apex sits within the Oracle database. Oracle can connect to a mysql database via a database link so yes this is certainly possible. We connect extensively to an Informix database here actually. This is really an oracle question though so you just need to look in the documentation for the CREATE DATABASE LINK command and for setting up the actual connection.
If you need more help let me know.
Cheers
Ben

Recommendations for RAID - HP ACU/Oracle Apex/Oracle Grid/Linux 6.3

Dear Experts,
Given:
- HW : HP ProLiant DL370 G6
- OS : Oracle Enterprise Linux 6.3
- Oracle Grid Infrastructure 11g R2
- Oracle Apex 4.2
Current Status
When I have entered HP ACU from bootable Smart Start CD, I found under the configuration of Smart Array P410i in Embedded Slot, the following:
-Smart Array P410i in Embedded Slot
---Internal Drive Cage at Port 1I : Box 1
------300 GB 2-Part SAS Drive at Part 1I : Box 1 : Bay 1
------300 GB 2-Part SAS Drive at Part 1I : Box 1 : Bay 2

------300 GB 2-Part SAS Drive at Part 2I : Box 1 : Bay 7
------300 GB 2-Part SAS Drive at Part 2I : Box 1 : Bay 8
The questions now:
1) Do you recommend the following configuration for RAID's logical arrays:
Using Logical View:
SAS Array A - 4 Logical Drive(s)
--- Logical Drive 1 (50.0 GB, RAID 1+0) ---> for OS
--- Logical Drive 2 (24.0 GB, RAID 0) ---> for SWAP
--- Logical Drive 3 (200.0 GB, RAID 1+0) ---> for ASM DATA
--- Logical Drive 4 (296.7 GB, RAID 1+0) ---> for ASM FRA
SAS Array B - 1 Logical Drive(s)
--- Logical Drive 5 (1.1 TB, RAID 0) ---> not critical for sources and other applications
2) What are your recommendations for the following steps to reach oracle apex 4.2 installed?

IT DOES NOT WORK IN NETWORK (APEX + Oracle XE in XP)

Hi there!
I am beginner in Apex and Oracle XE. So I have met some trouble.
I have installed Oracle 10g XE to Windows XP. It was easy. Then I started DB home by url: http://127.0.0.1:8080/apex. It works. But my PC has Network card with persistent IP address 192.168.1.150. So I try to connect by url: http://192.168.1.150:8080/apex . It DOES not work. I switched off firewall. It does not work. Please give me some suggestion or advise how to solve it.
Thanks in advance.

Moving from Apex&oracle express 10g to Apex&oracle express 11gr2

Hi,
I have an Apex application running on 10g express
Now I have another server and I want to move on Apex 4 with 11gexpress r2
I did an application export from within apex, then Import in 11g.
No errors everything is fine.
How about all the tables?
I read topics on forum but still I'm not sure
Kindest regards,
Florin

Hi,
You need export application parsing schema from 10G XE and then import those to target DB.
http://www.oracle-base.com/articles/10g/OracleDataPump10g.php
This might also help how deploy your application

APEX, Oracle SQL Creating Inventory System

I would like to use XE to create a database to track inventory/shipping/production/forecasting and do analytical reporting in a multi-user, multi production line environment, using bar code scanning, in a client server set up. How powerful/ flexible is APEX? Should I be looking at another reporting tool? Should I be looking to manage the data with Oracle SQL? Good books to recommend that include the basics through complex apps?
Thank you.
Wade

Hi Wade,
Good books to recommend that include the basics through complex apps?You may want to have a look here at "Application Express Documentation and Tutorials" here: http://www.oracle.com/technology/products/database/application_express/html/doc.html
The best APEX book (personal opinion) is not out yet, but you can already pre-order it at Amazon. The title "Pro Oracle Application Express" by John Scott (Jes from the forums).
Thanks,
Dimitri

APEX & Oracle SSO?

APEX Oracle 11g HTTP Server - Cannot get SSL working

I have installed APEX on Oracle 11g with the Oracle HTTP Server on MS Windows server.
Data base up and running, APEX up an running.
All works as expected on port 7777
When I try 4443 I get error message re self signed certificate by Oracle, but if I click through error message I get an https connection.
I want to replace default cert with a locally signed cert, and get SSL working on 4443, then switch to port 443.
I have used the Oracle Wallet manager, generated a CSR, had this signed by my corproate CA, and installed the corporate CA cert and the newly signed server cert into the wallet (with Auto Login Set) and saved it in:
D:\orahttp\Oracle_WT1\instances\apex\config\OHS\ohs1\keystores\infosec2wallet
This creates two files: ewallet.p12 and cwallet.sso
I then manually add the group/users "SYSTEM" and "Administrators" to these two files to match the security tab on the default wallet.
I T then go to the ssl.conf file located at:
D:\orahttp\Oracle_WT\instances\apex\config\OHS\ohs1\ssl.conf
and changed the entry:
#SSLWallet "${ORACLE_INSTANCE}/config/${COMPONENT_TYPE}/${COMPONENT_NAME}/keystores/default"
SSLWallet "${ORACLE_INSTANCE}/config/${COMPONENT_TYPE}/${COMPONENT_NAME}/keystores/infosec2wallet"
I then stop and start the Oracle HTTP Server - ohs1 from the start menu.
Then I try to connect from my desk top machine using the following URL:
https://us-pghinfosec2.ariba.com:4443/pls/apex/f?p=101:1:
I get the clasic MS IE Message:
==========
Internet Explorer cannot display the webpage
Most likely causes:
You are not connected to the Internet.
The website is encountering problems.
There might be a typing error in the address.
What you can try:
Diagnose Connection Problems
More information
This problem can be caused by a variety of issues, including:
Internet connectivity has been lost.
The website is temporarily unavailable.
The Domain Name Server (DNS) is not reachable.
The Domain Name Server (DNS) does not have a listing for the website's domain.
If this is an HTTPS (secure) address, click Tools, click Internet Options, click Advanced, and check to be sure the SSL and TLS protocols are enabled under the security section.
For offline users
You can still view subscribed feeds and some recently viewed webpages.
To view subscribed feeds
Click the Favorites Center button , click Feeds, and then click the feed you want to view.
To view recently visited webpages (might not work on all pages)
Click Tools , and then click Work Offline.
Click the Favorites Center button , click History, and then click the page you want to view.
==========
I am at a loss as to what to do. It acts like Oracle HTTP can not open my wallet.
I suspect it needs the password to the wallet but I cannot find any place to specify the password, and Auto Login should have addressed that issue.
Any insights welcome.
Thanks - Elton Hay

Hello Lakshmi,

So do i need to change Oracle 10g HTTP Server? do i need to install Oracle 11g HTTP SErver?
Please let me know if my question is not clear.

How to run a SQL server store procedure from Apex (oracle)?

Our application needs to call a store procedure in the SQLserver database. The sotre procedure works fine in the SQL server side. However, when I tried to call the store procedure in TOAD as:
exec my_store_procedure(para1, para2);
I kept getting the error message:
ORA-06550: line 1, column 7:
PLS-00306: wrong number or types of arguments in call to 'my_store_procedure'
ORA-06550: line 1, column 7:
PL/SQL: Statement ignored
I have searched online but couldn't find the solution. This is an emergency, so prompt reply is Highly Appreciated!

How is Oracle connecting to the SQL Server?
With the Transparent Gateway or Generic Connectivity?
I don't think that Generic Connectivity supports stored procedures.
The documentation for Heterogeneous Connectivity is here:

You'd probably get better answers from the Heterogeneous Connectivity forum:

Conceptual help moving from ACCESS to APEX - *APEX/ORACLE beginner*

Hello All,
I had a rather simple ACCESS form based application running, and am now rebuilding it in APEX for reasons of speed/robustness.
The application consisted of a form viewing one record at a time, as well as 2 subforms displaying 'x' records each, linked to the current record in the main form.
For some context, the main form was data about a particular site, the subforms were data about each item within the site.
The main form got all its information from one table, and viewed only one record at a time (with navigation/search tools in a header) because there was a wealth of information (~25 fields) which needed to be presented in logical groupings.
Access was suitable for this, because I could use the ACCESS 'form' to position/colour/group/differentiate the logical groups.
I have put this table into APEX, and am trying to get a similar outcome. I have created a report, which can drill down to one record at a time, but the information is nigh on indecipherable when presented this way.
What options do I have, and is it even possible, to create an application where one record from a table of ~3000 is presented on screen with a custom layout? I will worry about the subforms later... they can have separate pages.
Any help would be greatly appreciated, as you can tell from this post I need some high level guidance on where to start digging!

Hi,
You can read and learn from the APEX documentation which is available here. More specifically, this section of the advanced tutorials deals with Forms Layout.
It would be nice if you change your user handle to something more meaningful, too.
Regards,
Sergio

How to redirect a certain group login in to another page apex oracle

so I'm kind of new to apex and If I had a log in page and a certain user logs in that belongs to a certain group... say customers? Well if they log in , it would redirect them to a customer application.. and this is what I'm currently trying to achieve but it doesn't work
This is my code, can you tell me why it doesn't work and a solution to it?
DECLARE
VAL BOOLEAN;
BEGIN
IF
VAL := APEX_UTIL.CURRENT_USER_IN_GROUP(p_group_name=> 'Customer')
RETURN TRUE
THEN
htp.init;
owa_util.redirect_url('f?p=&Custlogin.:1:&APP_SESSION.');
apex_application.stop_apex_engine;
END IF
END;

Where are you putting this code? In a Before Header section?
I can see there are some possible compilation issues with the code. I think you'd better use:
BEGIN
IF APEX_UTIL.CURRENT_USER_IN_GROUP(p_group_name=> 'Customer')
THEN
htp.init;
owa_util.redirect_url('f?p=&Custlogin.:1:&APP_SESSION.');
END IF;
END;
Anyway, I would use branches to achieve what you need in your page. One branch for each type of user you would like to redirect... so, for example sending user to page "x" if condition above is met:
-Condition Type=PL/SQL Expression
-Expression=APEX_UTIL.CURRENT_USER_IN_GROUP(p_group_name=> 'Customer')
