Apex translation vs. export/import

Hello,
we had several problems with the translation in APEX, here is the newest one:
We applied a translation for an app, and then we exported and imported the app.
We tried to map, ..., publish the translation again. It was ok.
But when we change the language, nothing happens.
Every label remains the same.
I think it is because every id in the export file has changed.
Why the ids change??
What should we do now? Should we make the translation again? (cca. 50.000 items).
Any help would be appreciated!
(Apex version 4.0)
Thanks in advance!

Hello (please tell us your first name),
>> We applied a translation for an app, and then we exported and imported the app.
We tried to map, ..., publish the translation again.
Are you talking about deploying the application into a second development instance, or into production?
First, you shouldremember that you must not change the application ID of the translated application.
Secondly, if you are deploying into a production instance, you need to export both the primary language application and the translated one (this is the only case where you are actually treat the translated application as an independent unit). On the production instance, first import the primary language application and then the translated one.
You only need to re-map, re-apply and re-publish the translated application (using the XLIFF file) if you are going to use the Application Builder to make some changes into your application in the new instance. In this case, and to retain the viability of the XLIFF file, you must use the original translated application ID (as I mentioned before).
>> But when we change the language, nothing happens.
Assuming you installed the translated application correctly (i.e. used its original application ID) the APEX engine derived the application language based on the Application Language Derived From field (Shared Components ==> Edit Globalization Attributes).
If you suspect the problem might emanate from this parameter, please give us more details regarding your settings.
Regards,
Arie.

APEX 4.Loosing translatable text when exporting/importing to new workspace

Hi everyone,
I am developing a bilingual application (base English translated to french) and I noticed something weird when exporting/importing to another workspace.
First, my application is flagged as requiring synchronization after an import. Yes, I did check that it was not flagged right before the export. I did choose Export Translations.
Secondly, when I look at the translated application in the new workspace, my Region Names are not translated anymore (in english instead of french). When I cmpare the 2 Translation Repositories (using the Manually Edit Translation Repository) I lost all Region Names entries (Column Description = Region name).
Thirdly, when again comparing the 2 Translation Repositories, I have the same number of Strings and Distinct Strings by if I group by Column Descriptions the sub-totals differ and I don't even have the same distinct Column Descriptions.
My test was done with my development workspace and a test workspace (where I deleted all application prior to my test) in the same instance.
Anybody had these problems?
Thanks all
I am using 4.1.1.00.23 on the Oracle Database 11g Express Edition.

Hi there,
Well....I guess "they lied" would be me, huh?
Unfortunately, this is a bug. This issue with region titles was first reported in Bug in 4.1.1: Region Title translations is lost I recorded it as Bug 13801807 - REGION TITLE TRANSLATIONS LOST WHEN IMPORTING AS A NEW APPLICATION ID. It's fixed in APEX 4.2.
I hope this helps.

Please guide me how can i successfully migrate my application from my source APEX to this new APEX
Thanks

Now i exported the workspace from my source APEX and imported in destination and everything is fine and now apparently everything is same but still same error during import of the application, please help to resolve.

Problem with EXPORT IMPORT PROCESS in ApEx 3.1

Hi all:
I'm having a problem with the EXPORT IMPORT PROCESS in ApEx 3.1
When I export an application, and try to import it again. I get this error message
ORA-20001: GET_BLOCK Error. ORA-20001: Execution of the statement was unsuccessful.

As a workaround, I check the exported file and found this
wwv_flow_api.create_flow

And when I replace with this
p_documentation_banner=> ' ',
I can import the application without the error.
somebody knows why I have to do this??
Thank you all.

Hi,
This issue seems to have been around for a while:
Re: Error importing file
I've had similar issues and made manual changes to the file to get it to install correctly. In my case, I got:
ORA-20001: GET_BLOCK Error. ORA-20001: Execution of the statement was unsuccessful.<br>ORA-02047: cannot join the distributed transaction in progress<br>begin execute immediate 'alter session set nls_numeric_characters='''||wwv_flow_api.g_nls_numeric_chars||'''';end;There are several suggestions, if you follow that thread, about character sets or reviewing some of the line breaks within pl/sql code within your processes etc. Not sure what would work for you.

Export/Import Process in the UI for Variations Content Translation is Generating CMP Files with No XML

We have a SharePoint 2010 Publishing Website that uses variations to deliver contain to multiple languages. We are using a third-party translation company to translate publishing pages. The pages are
exported using the export/import using the UI process described here: "http://blogs.technet.com/b/stefan_gossner/archive/2011/12/02/sharepoint-variations-the-complete-guide-part-16-translation-support.aspx".
Certain sub-sites are extremely content-intensive. They may contain many items in the Pages library as well as lists and other sub-sites.
For some sub-sites (not all), the exported CMP file contains no XML files. There should be a Manifest.XML, Requirements.XML, ExportSettings.XML, etc., but there are none. After renaming the CMP file
to CAB and extracting it, the only files it contains are DAT files.
The only difference I can see between the sub-sites that generate CMP files with no XML files is size. For example, there is one site that is 114 MB that produces a CMP file with no XML files. Small
sites do not have this problem. If size is the problem, then I would think the process would generate an error instead of creating a single CMP file that contains only DAT files. However, I do not know exactly what the Export/Import Process in the UI is doing.
This leads to two questions:
1.
Does anyone know why some CMP files, when renamed to *.CAB and extracted, would not contain the necessary XML files?
2. Second, if exporting using the UI will not work, can I use PowerShell? I have tried the Export-SPWeb, but the Manifest.XML does not contain translatable
content. I have not found any parameters that I can use with Export-SPWeb to cause the exported CMP to be in the same format as the one produced by the Export/Import process in the UI.
As a next step, we could try developing custom code using the Publishing Service, but before doing this, I would like to understand why the Export/Import process in the UI generates a CMP that
contains no XML files.
If no one can answer this question, I would appreciate just some general help on understanding exactly what is happening with the Export/Import Process -- that is, the one that runs when you select
the export or import option in the Site Manager drop down. Understanding what it is actually doing will help us troubleshoot why there are no XML files in certain export CMPs and assist with determining an alternate approach.
Thanks in advance

I wanted to bump this post to see about getting some more responses to your problem. I'm running into the same problem as well. We're running a SharePoint 2010 site and are looking at adding variations now. The two subsites with the most content take a
while to generate the .cmp file (one to two minutes of the browser loading bar spinning waiting on the file). Both files are generated with a lot of .dat files but no .xml files. I was thinking like you that it must be a size issue. Not sure though. Did you
ever happen to find a solution to this problem?

Export from Apex 3.2 and import to Apex 4.0

I apologize if this has been asked before (and I am sure it has).
We are about to move all our Apex/Oracle apps to a server where Apex 4.0 is installed. Our current Apex version is 3.2. My question is can we export from Apex 3.2 and import in Apex 4.0 and expect everything to work (assuming it all works fine in Apex 3.2 and all Oracle objects were moved properly to the new server , both servers have Oracle 11g).

I am having trouble finding "update application" under any of the utilities.
Also one of my applications gives me the following error when I try to import it from Apex 3.2. to 4.0
ORA-20001: GET_BLOCK Error. ORA-20001: Execution of the statement was unsuccessful. ORA-02290: check constraint (APEX_040000.WWV_FLOW_WS_RPT_CHART_AGG_CK) violated <pre>begin wwv_flow_api.create_worksheet_rpt( p_id =&gt; 24053127534342788+wwv_flow_api.g_id_offset, p_flow_id=&gt; wwv_flow.g_flow_id, p_page_id=&gt; 60, p_worksheet_id =&gt; 24052412232342516+wwv_flow_api.g_id_offset, p_session_id =&gt; null, p_base_report_id =&gt; null+wwv_flow_api.g_id_offset,
I have no clue how to fix that.

Command Line Export/Import for ApEx

Hi There,
I was wondering if there is an ApEx Utility that allows the Export and Import of applications/pages/images/style sheets etc from the command line on a Linux box.
I am using Oracle Application Express v3.0.1
Thanks.
Tony.

Tony,
Another post in the past has discussed about this already.
Exporting/Importing a *Bunch* of Applications
John Scott wrote a blog post about this as well at [http://jes.blogs.shellprompt.net/2006/12/12/backing-up-your-applications/|http://jes.blogs.shellprompt.net/2006/12/12/backing-up-your-applications/]
In short, you can use APEX utility - APEXExport to export and standard SQL to import.

Export/Import the new Theme from Apex 2.2

Ok, I am so very sold the new theme 15 in Apex 2.2 after 1 day playing. I really want to use it in the new app I am going to build very soon. Export/Import does not work at all because all the images whatsoever are NOT there. May somebody let me know how to do this? or can we do it?
Thanks in adavnce.

Hello,
I'll see what I can do about providing a zip of the images directory for the new themes, it's not my call though. You can at the moment use Firefox and save the page (which also saves supporting files) and that will get you most of the images.
You would then have to go through the css and make sure to grab all the background images in that file. On or two page grabs of different page types should give you most the images.

Page Not Found ! Export/import translater app

Hi,
I really need some help since we are supposed to go live today or tommorrow.
1- Can I open TARs for issues concerning HTMLDB ??
2- I have an application that is translated 105-2105
When I import 105 into another application ID, and try to run it , it gives me a page not found ??
Thanks
Francis.

Hi Kirk,
1. Do I understand correctly, you cannot export the application from the server you originally developed it on?
Exact.
It does not work on same server when I change the appid
It does not work on my test server when I replace the same application
2. What OS are you on?
In dev : Windows 2K
In test : Linux RedHat
3. Is the workspace name the same from development to production?
No
4. Is the parssing Schema the same from development to production?
No
5. If you run the app as admin do you get the menu at the bottom of the page that displays the Page not found error?
No
I am able to export/import all the other applications without problem.
The only difference is that the one that I cannot import/export is translated.

Export / Import of Apex Data

Hello,
We are planning to move our Oracle databases from Windows Servers to Linux ones. In a test lab, we have successfully exported all data from an Oracle DB instance on Windows and imported that data on an Oracle DB instance on Linux (with the old export/import Oracle tool)
But in fact...it was all data except Apex data. The complete Apex environment is available on our new Linux server but no trace of all our workspaces and applications. The only available workspace is Internal.
We do not want to export / import all workspaces, applications, images and files one by one (by hand on the Apex environment).
- Is there a particular method to follow to include the Apex data in the export / import process ?
OR
- Is there a trick or a utility program that can automate the export / import of Apex data ?
Thank you for your help.
- Patrice

Patrice,
There is an Apex utility (it's called ApexExport) that can be setup to run workspace, application and page exports. It's a Java based utility and sometimes can be a little maddening to get configured to run but it will do the job once you get it configured. The utility will be on the database machine in the Apex installation directory. There is pretty good documentation available from Oracle but John Scott blogged about it here http://jes.blogs.shellprompt.net/2006/12/12/backing-up-your-applications/ as well.

Hello:
The Oracle Data Pump utility is now the preferred tool to use to import and export data and metadata from an Oracle database. Oracle Data Pump provides capabilities that far exceed those provided by the older imp/exp programs. Further, in addition to command line invocation of the tool, Oracle Data Pump has a set of pl/sql APIs (DBMS_DATAPUMP) that will let you do import and exports from pl/sql. You can therefore easily set up an APEX page that will accept a bunch of parameters and execute the appropriate procedures within DBMS_DATAPUMP to do the export/import.

Best way to Export/Import

I am developing my application in Company environment. Whenever I posted in forums, helpers asked credentials on apex.oracle.com. Roel mentioned to create a sql file with all your data definitions (tables, packages etc) and data. But he did not have a chance to do how and I could not figure out.
I founded the export option:
Home>Application Builder>Application> Export/ImportWhen I exported it to local computer, I did not get any error message.
Moreover, I have an error message when I imported it.
Expecting p_company or wwv_flow_company cookie to contain security group id of application owner.
Error ERR-7621 Could not determine workspace for application (:) on application accept.
I really need help the best of Exporting and importing APEX applications with steps by steps procedure.
Thanks in advance,

Dear Mr. Charlie McNeil,
I would like to clarify concerning my post.
We also have DEV, QA environments.
We can export using Export:
Home>Application Builder>Application Number>Export / Import
We can import application using:
Home>Application Builder>Import
h3. Within own environment, there is no problem to export/import.
Let me restate my post.
I am looking for help to copy and paste an APEX application onto apex.oracle.com.
I attempted several times and I got couple errors.

Command Line Export/Import Utility

Hi,
Is there a way to perform a command line export/import as if you were doing this via the Oracle ApEx GUI?
If so, what is involved?
Thanks.
Tony.

To import using SQL*Plus you are limited to installing an application as the original application ID and into the original workspace (both being the IDs contained in the file itself in various places). You can connect as any schema assigned to the workspace so long as that schema is not also assigned to other workspaces. If it is, you can connect as SYS, SYSTEM, or the FLOWS_xxxxxx schema, options that should be reserved as a last resort because of the undesirability of connecting as these privileged accounts.

APEX 4.0.1 - import application fails

Trying to switch from APEX 3.2 to APEX 4.0.1, it appears another patch release may be needed. I am unable to import applications created via APEX 3.2 export and APEX 4.0.1 export. This is the error:
ORA-01400: cannot insert NULL into ("FLOWS_FILES"."WWV_FLOW_FILE_OBJECTS$"."ID")
Please confirm bug or problem resolution. Thanks.

Hi,
what's your database version and how is your APEX 4.0.1 hosted (EPG/OHS/Listener)?
-Udo
P.S.: For a little further diagnostic, you could try to find out if something went wrong during your 4.0.1 installation.
select status from dba_triggers where table_name='WWV_FLOW_FILE_OBJECTS$';If the trigger is not enabled, you might try recompiling it.

?BUG? App Export / Import error with javascript

Greetings -
Anyone have an idea on how to get around this or if I'm doing something wrong?
I have a page button to collapse a tree, with a URL Target of:
javascript:apex.widget.tree.collapse_all($v(P2130_TREE_ID));
Page and button work fine, have never had a problem. Until I went to do an application import and found that the SQL file for the import was corrupted due to the above line. SQL file has:
p_button_redirect_url=>'javascript:apex.widget.tree.collapse_all($v(P'||to_char(2130+www_flow_api.g_id_offset)||''_TREE_ID));',
It appears to have an extra (2x) single quote right before _TREE_ID. I have this logic in several places in my application and every place caused the same error.
Application copy also fails with same error.
Thanks,
Scott

Tom -
I assume this is the prior post you where talking about : https://forums.oracle.com/thread/2401714
However, this doesn't cover my problem. I have tried all the follow, and they all break export / import and copy functionality due to mismatched quotes:
collapse_all($v(P2130_TREE_ID));
collapse_all($v('P2130_TREE_ID'));
collapse_all($v("P2130_TREE_ID"));
collapse_all('&P2130_TREE_ID.');
collapse_all("&P2130_TREE_ID.");
These all allow the collapse button to work.
NOW, if I change my ID tag to be something like 'P_SCOTT_TREE' then everything works just fine (import/export/copy). It's having a number in the tag that is cause the problems because the export is casting it to_char and somehow throwing in an extra quote.
Thanks,
Scott
