Hi Nisha,
if you don't find anything Apex-related in the dads.conf you haven't configured the OHS yet to have a DAD for your APEX yet.
Following the example in the installation manual you should have or create a section as follows
Alias /i/ "ORACLE_HTTPSERVER_HOME/Apache/images/"
AddType text/xml       xbl
AddType text/x-component       htc
<Location /pls/apex>
Order deny,allow
PlsqlDocumentPath docs
AllowOverride None
PlsqlDocumentProcedure         wwv_flow_file_mgr.process_download
PlsqlDatabaseConnectString     host:port:service_name ServiceNameFormat
PlsqlNLSLanguage               AMERICAN_AMERICA.AL32UTF8
PlsqlAuthenticationMode        Basic
SetHandler                     pls_handler
PlsqlDocumentTablename         wwv_flow_file_objects$
PlsqlDatabaseUsername          APEX_PUBLIC_USER
PlsqlDefaultPage               apex
PlsqlDatabasePassword          apex_public_user_password
PlsqlRequestValidationFunction wwv_flow_epg_include_modules.authorize
Allow from all
</Location>You'll probably have to adjust the PlsqlDatabaseConnectString to fit your database and PlsqlDatabasePassword to match the password you chose in the APEX-installation process.
Depending on your database language settings, you might also want to change the PlsqlNLSLanguage from AMERICAN_AMERICA to the value your database uses.
You'll have to restart the OHS to apply any changes. This is done by calling
ORACLE_HTTPSERVER_HOME\opmn\bin\opmnctl restartproc ias-component='HTTP_Server'

Upgrade related efforts

Hello Friends,
We are planning to upgrade BW 3.5 to 7.0 and I am preparing documentation on upgrade related activities.
I would like to know the conversion related efforts and I would appreciate if you can share some documents.
Do I have attend a demo workshop to learn more on upgrade activities?
Do we loose any data or any queries during upgrade?
What kind of functionality test we would have to perfrom?
What kind of regression testing activities, we would have to perform?
What kind of post upgrade activities to be performed?
I reviewed some threads from SDN, but didn't get a clear picture on above questions.
Thanks
Priya

Saved Interactive Reports after APEX Upgrade

Hi,
When you do an APEX Upgrade are saved interactive reports kept?
Martin

I have been experiencing lost saved "as Named Report" Interactive reports, whenever I migrate the application from test to prod.
To clarify how we operate.
We have a test APEX environment that is separate to production. The Test app has a different App_id but uses the same schema name. In test the application Id is 1xxx (eg 1201) and in test 2xxx (2201). I export Test 1201 and then import into Prod changing the App_id to overwrite 2201. I always lose the saved reports. I just tried an experiment of creating the saved report in Test and seeing if it migrates to prod, but of course it does not.
How should I operate the two different Test and Prod environment to be "best practice" and not lose "as Named Report" Interactive report saved by the end-user?
thanks Peter

Apex upgrade to 4.0 and existing Single-Sign-On settiongs

Hi,
I'm currently using SSO (Apex engine registered as partner application in Oracle SSO) with Apex 3.1 and have couple of Apex apps using Oracle SSO.
If I upgrade to Apex 4.0, will my current configuration be untouched or do I need to re-register Apex in SSO?
Thanks in advance,
Asha

Apex upgrade from 3.2 to 4.0 in Oracle 10g Enterprise Edition

Hi Friends,
I am currenly using Apex version 3.2.1. My oracle version is "Oracle Database 10g Enterprise Edition Release 10.2.0.4.0".
I am planning to upgrade my apex version to 4.0. Can i do this with the same oracle DB version. Is there any specific
licence needed for such an upgrade?
Regards,
Nav

Can i do this with the same oracle DB version.Yes. 10.2.0.4.0 meets the documented requirements.
Is there any specific licence needed for such an upgrade?No, not if the database is licensed. (Additional licenses may be required for some web server configurations.)

Apex upgrade from 3.0.1.00.08 to 3.1.2.00.02

Hi Frnds,
I would like to do an upgrade on my apex (3.0.1.00.08) to 3.1.2.00.02 .
Is there any direct upgrade available ???
Will this upgrade affect the current applications running on 3.0.1.00.08
Thanks for your support,
Kalesh.

If you make a versionchange from 3.0 to 3.1 you have to install it like it would on a new installation.
it creates a new schema FLOWS_301000 (before it was FLOWS_300000).
You can download it from apex.oracle.com -> download.
And yes it affects all of your applications, but its also possible to switch to an old APEX version with a single command.

After APEX-upgrade to 3.0 on OracleXE the link admin/apex_admin dosent work

Hi,
I made a new installtion of OracleXE. After that I upgrade it to APEX 3.0 on this way:
* Editing the ..\apex\coreins.sql script
........ On line 573 you need to set the XE variable to 1 for XE installation:
........ define XE = '1'
* sqlplus "sys/syspass as sysdba" @apexins password SYSAUX SYSAUX TEMP /i/
* sql> @apex_epg_config.sql d:\ (the APEX-installationfiles are under D:\apex)
* Update OWA-Packages with @owainst.sql
* Shutdown und startup the database
After that I can access the link http://localhost:8080/apex, but I am not able to access the link http://localhost:8080/apex/apex_admin - I got the message HTTP 404 Page not found.
I had already drop the schemata FLOWS* and reinstall APEX 3.0, but this is the same.
And if I try this:
http://localhost:8080/apex
and login with workspace INTERNAL, I got this:
application=4050 workspace=10
Error ERR-1014 Application not found
The installation-logfile shows me no errors.
What is wrong here?
Regards,
Mark

Hi,
its a while ago since i've done this, but for me this worked on a fresh XE Installation:
* extract Apex-Zip to C:\dlextract\apex_3.1
* open a Command-Window (cmd) and change to directory C:\dlextract\apex_3.1\apex
* sqlplus /nolog
* connect sys as sysdba;
* @apexins SYSAUX SYSAUX TEMP /i/
* after apexins script call sqlplus again
* @apxldimg c:\dlextract\apex_3.1
* @apxxepwd new_password_for_admin_user
As a last Step i upgraded the PL/SQL Web Toolkit (for Details see apex/owa/Readme.txt) using "@owainst in sqlplus" located in directory apex/owa
Hope that helps,
Peter

Invalid login after apex upgrade

I upgraded apex for Oracle XE to apex 3.2.1. Ran all the scripts and everything seemed fine. Ran the script to change the admin password that worked as well.
However when I go to either of the login pages(one that has the workspace and the one that has just username and password) from internet explorer
I keep getting invalid login credintials
I tried the below solution from the this thread How Gain Access When Locked Out of Developer Workspace
I keep getting 0 rows updated after running this
update apex_030200.wwv_flow_fnd_user set change_password_on_first_use ='N'+
where lower(user_name) = 'admin';
I even tried the update without the where clause and still got 0 rows updated.
here's a quote from the thread
Hi All,
The lockout message I received was:
Access denied by Application security check
Application access restricted to internal workspace users.
Return to application.
I logged in as SYSDBA and ran the following scripts:
First change the password for the Internal ADMIN account (the one i was locked out of)
SQL> @apxxepwd <new password>
then
SQL> update apex_030200.wwv_flow_fnd_user set change_password_on_first_use ='N'
where lower(user_name) = 'admin';
+1 row updated+
SQL> commit;
--Note: schema name apex_030200 will depend on version of APEX you are using and your installation. I am using version 3.2.0.00.27+
Finally log into APEX using the two-field security form with the admin account. Make any changes to the workspace or user accounts. Note that after repeated attempts to login, some accounts may be locked, as was the case with me.
Hope this helps somebody else.
Regards,
Glenroy

Ok I got the admin user to work. However when I try to import an app I get this
"ORA-02291: integrity constraint (FLOWS_FILES.WWV_FLOW_FILE_OBJ_FK) violated - parent key not found"
Error uploading export file."
I get this is i use an app from apex 2.1 or even when I tried to import the sample app I exported from 3.2.
I wonder if there is some type of permissions issue with the admin account since I created it manually I was not sure what to put in the fields...

Invalid date format after APEX upgrade

We are currently working on upgrading our applications from 1.6 to the new APEX 3.2 version. After the upgrade of one of our systems I have a tabular form that is returning the error 'Invalid date format found'. The date that is getting entered into the system is being displayed and choosed via a sql popup. The code for the pop up is
SQL CODE
create or replace view next_weeks as
with t as (
select
trunc(sysdate) + (rownum - 1) / 2 d
from
dual
connect
by rownum <= 28)
, call_info as (
select
c.call_identifier, c.callback_date, c.callback_cancelled
from uid_csr_schedule c
select
to_char(d, 'fmDy MM/DD/YYYY AM') l
, to_char(d, 'dd-mon-yy hh:mi:ss AM') v
,to_char(d, 'mm/dd/yy hh:mi:ss AM') o
from
t
where
((select count(callback_date) from call_info ci where ci.callback_date = t.d
and (ci.callback_cancelled is null or ci.callback_cancelled !='Y'))) <
(select csr_calls_per_period from uid_sch_system_default)
minus
select
to_char(d, 'fmDy MM/DD/YYYY AM') l
, to_char(d, 'dd-mon-yy hh:mi:ss AM') v
,to_char(d, 'mm/dd/yy hh:mi:ss AM') o
from
t
where
(select count(callback_date) from call_info ci where ci.callback_date = t.d
and (ci.callback_cancelled is null or (ci.callback_cancelled !='Y')))
=(select override_amt from uid_sch_call_override
where (to_char(begin_date,'dd-mon-yy') || ' ' || upper(period)) = to_char(t.d, 'dd-mon-yy AM'))
union select
to_char(d, 'fmDy MM/DD/YYYY AM') l
, to_char(d, 'dd-mon-yy hh:mi:ss AM') v
,to_char(d, 'mm/dd/yy hh:mi:ss AM') o
from
t
where
((select count(callback_date) from call_info ci where ci.callback_date = t.d
and (ci.callback_cancelled is null or ci.callback_cancelled !='Y'))) >=
(select csr_calls_per_period from uid_sch_system_default)
and
(select count(callback_date) from call_info ci where ci.callback_date = t.d
and (ci.callback_cancelled is null or (ci.callback_cancelled !='Y')))
<
(select override_amt from uid_sch_call_override
where (to_char(begin_date,'dd-mon-yy') || ' ' || upper(period)) = to_char(t.d, 'dd-mon-yy AM'))
order by o
The form then has the item set as a popup with a date format mask of dd-MON-yy hh:mi:ss AM. The popup displays fine and the date is shown in the field but the error is received when I try to save the information. If I change the application global setting of date format mask to dd-MON-yy hh:mi:ss AM then this error goes away however, it creates problems on all the rest of my pages that use this date in the where clause of the queries. Is there a way to solve the problem above without having to change the globalization parameter or do I need to change this parameter and then redo those queries?
Thanks for your help!
Amber

Amber,
It's interesting that the problem goes away if you set the global date format to be the same as the column level. The column level should trump the global setting. What process is returning the error? Are you sure it's the MRU or could it be something custom?
You could consider adding a process before the MRU fires that uses alter session to change the date format.
Regards,
Dan

Email not working after APEX upgrade

O/S: Windows 2003
DB: 11gR1
Email no longer working for users after upgrading from 4.0 to 4.1. New 'principal' APEX_040100 added to same ACL as previous version's principal APEX_040000. In fact, both still exist in ACL.
Error code in APEX Admin Mail Queue: ORA-24247: network access denied by access control list (ACL)
What could be causing the email facility within APEX to no longer work?
Cheers!

XE ApEx upgrade to 3.0.1 - strange results

Hi All,
I have a fresh install of XE on Windows 2003 Server (Virtual Machine).
I atttempted to upgrade Apex, and all seemed to work. I checked the install logs and there were no errors. I did run into the images issue, but was able to fix that as per the documentation and this forum. But now when I attempt to install a packaged app, I am getting errors - The app seems to install fine, but when attempting to install the supporting objects, I get errors from Tables to Seed HR data (39 errors), then success for the rest (29).
The error is ORA-01031: Insufficent Privileges
Another post discussed logging into the apex_admin page, but when I log into that page (using 'Internal', 'ADMIN', password), I am directed to a change password page - but I am unable to change the password - no matter how many times I've tried, it always comes abck as invalid current password. I am positive I'm using the right password as it did get me past the login page, it just won't work in the change password page...
Going crazy trying to figure this out. I can completely remove it and try again, but would prefer to find out 'why' this happened.
Thanks in advance,
Corey

I had a similar problem after I upgraded my XE version to APEX 3.0.1.
I could not log into the INTERNAL - ADMIN user with the password becuase I was constantly being asked to change it, but the change screen was not recognizing the newly set password.
I found this while searching for a solution:
XE and Apex 3.0.1 Cant install it.....
UPDATE flows_030000.wwv_flow_fnd_user
SET first_password_use_occurred = 'Y'
,change_password_on_first_use = 'N'
WHERE security_group_id = 10
AND user_name = 'ADMIN';
Preventing the "change_password_on_first_use" flag seems to prevent the issue.
After that, the change screen will work as expected.

Overdue APEX Upgrade

Good Day to All:
Today, finally, after fighting my boss for 3 years, I will be upgrading APEX 2.1 (YES, YOU READ RIGHT) to APEX 5.0.
Are there any special considerations I should know? Should I upgrade first to 4.0 and then to 5.0? Am I at risk of losing any functionality and/or custom applications that were built in 2.1?
Thank you all for your help. I really appreciate the lot of you.
Kind Regards,
Aqua

Hi,
don't agree that going to 4.2 and then to 5.0 is your best option. If it was that hard to convince your boss to upgrade your 2.1 system to a new version, then I think it would definitely be better to go straight to 5.0. Otherwise you will face the same discussion in a few months with your boss again, you will duplicate your testing efforts and you will have to re-learn the development user interface, ... In the end you are just postponing your upgrade.
Now is the time to do proper testing of your upgraded apps on a development/test system and if everything works fine you can go ahead and upgrade your production system.
About stability. APEX 5.0 fixed quite a number of bugs reported for 4.2.x. So someone could also argue that 4.2.x is not stable because of those bugs. Does APEX 5.0 have bugs? Yes it does and some major ones have been posted on our Known Issues page and for some Patch Set Exceptions are already available. Will new ones be found? I'm pretty sure. But those reported so far on the forum are not like that your application wouldn't work anymore and if something is really a show stopper bug, we normally quickly react with a Patch Set Exception. If a bug comes up for 4.2.x which has already been fixed for 5.0 you will have to come up with a good business case to get a Patch Set Exception for 4.2.6.
Also keep in mind that a significant part of APEX 5.0 development was due to Page Designer, Universal Theme and Interactive Report. Nothing your APEX 2.1 application really touches :-) That version even didn't include the jQuery JavaScript framework, so another area which will not cause issues.
So the only areas where you might run into issues are tabular forms (I think to remember about upgrade issues in 4.0 and 4.1) and possible JavaScript issues. See also our supported browsers in the release notes. I can't say that your upgrade will be hassle free, that really depends what your application is using and doing, but our design goal for new releases is that you can import an APEX/HTMLDB 1.6 application into the newest release and it should still work without modifications.
Again as I already said, if you are already doing all the testing, I would suggest to do it on the latest release. And if you get the time, modernize your application by using Universal Theme and Interactive Reports.

Looks like you have entered an extra parameter for the install script
You need to conenct to the database as sysdba using SqlPlus
and then enter
@ /home/nadrog/Desktop/apex/apexins.sql SYSAUX SYSAUX TEMP /i/
The installation process is described at http://download.oracle.com/docs/cd/E10513_01/doc/install.310/e10496/otn_install.htm#BEHGEFDI
