APEX with non-Oracle Apache

Is it a good idea or bad idea to integrate Apex Oracle 10g SE1 on Windows to a production instance Apache (Windows) from a source other than Oracle's Companion CD? Any good guides or tips?

Hi Jes,
I am a newbie to apex and apache.
I’d like to build an apex application for account administrators to sporadically manage the look-up reference data. We already have apache, tomcat and jboss running for the primary application and I’d like to use the same server and services to keep from buying a new machine or stealing from resources (RAM & CPU) because of setting up a second companion instance of apache.
Is there a compatibility issue with using a non-Oracle version of apache? Will it play fair with existing apache applications? Am I better off installing the Companion CD apache on the database server to reduce network I/O; or will it steal resources from the dbms? I'd also like to keep complexities to a minimum so I can stay focused on my DBA role.
TIA,
Steve

What is possible with non oracle components in the EMGC 10g release 3

Hello,
What is possible with non oracle components in the EMGC 10g release 3
Our customer wants to also monitor and maintain non oracle components with EMGC 10g release 3.
Some non oracle components are:
Routers,
Firewalls,
Application Servers,
Switches,
Mail Servers,
DNS/DHCP servers,
Print Servers,
File Servers,
NTP,
Citrix,
Terminal Server,
Lotus Notes,
Etc etc.
Is there a document on which non oracle components can be monitored in the EMGC and what can be maintained with these components?
Regards,
Tim Abdoelhafiezkhan

Take a look into Plug-ins, there are some none-oracle ones pre built by Oracle and others.
There's a forum about Extensibility in the current category here.
Also, for further extensibility, the new Connector Framework looks interesting, see the OEM Integration Guide.

Use BIBeans with non-Oracle development / appserver products?

Hi,
Is it possible to BIBeans with non-Oracle development tools (netbeans/forte etc.) and appserver products?
Where can I find more info?
TIA..

Hi Nilesh,
Yes it is definitely possible to use other IDEs for BIBeans development but use of JDeveloper makes it really easy as it has got lot of BI Beans wizards. In other IDEs though it is possible, it will be very tedious to create reports and graphs etc and do over all development.
As far as deployment on other appserver goes, I have deployed BIBeans applications (Servlet) on atleast 3 containers (Tomcat, OC4J and weblogic). Since BIBeans builds a standard java servlet application, it should be possible to deploy on any servlet container.
Hope it helps.

Configuration of XSQL for use with non-Oracle dbs

If anyone has positive experiences with configuring XSQL for use with non Oracle databases I'd like to hear how they did it, see tutorials, configuration files, etc.
Specifically setting up to use MySQL or Postgresql on Linux/FreeBSD would be very interesting.
Also, does anyone use this without setting mime types? How would you go about this so you could point to the relevant servlets in the page?
Josh

I don't understand how setting up for Non-Oracle DB's is related to not setting up the servlet as an extension-mapped servlet.
It might work, but would you run JSP's
that way? XSQL behaves very similiarly
inside to how a JSP runner works, which
wants to be servlet-mapped.
However, OAS 4.0.8.1 does not support
extension mapping and XSQL works there
so i'm assuming it would work on other
servers set up that way. It's not
a configuration we test/certify.

XML Publisher with Non Oracle databases

Hi,
Can we use XML Publisher with non oracle databases like Postgres ,mySQL etc.

Hi
Not sure if you're talking Apps or non but you can do it equally with both. Check out the Data Engine in the user guide and look for Distributed Queries. XMLP will need a jdbc connection to the db but you can then pass a query and get XML back.
You can even write one query to pull back say customers from Oracle and their invoices from MySQL, you'll get a merged data set back with a master detail relationship btw customers-invoices

How to integrating APEX with the Oracle eBusiness suite release 11i

I need to integrate Apex with Oracle eBusiness Suite Release11. APEX need to use ERP authentication (user name/password) and oracle APEX pages will be called from oracle eBusiness Relese 11i menu.
I have followed metalink doc. 373604.1 and also looked into http://www.oracle.com/technology/products/database/application_express/pdf/Extend_Oracle_Applications_11i.pdf
I have setup DAD on Apache server, oracle Apps functions/menu and created apex_authorise function and added to my APEX application. I have followed the all the steps from above pdf file.
Here is my issues:
1. When I try to launch a APEX page again it asking me for the user name password
2. If I remove login page from APEX application then I can launch my APEX application but I cannot see any images
3. I need to pass oracle ERP 11i user and responsibility information to APEX. How should I do this?
Any help will be really appreciated
Thanks in advance

Many customers want this and would have hoped that Oracle would have included this as an option. Unfortunately, the left hand(Oracle Apps product managers) don't talk to the right hand(Apex product managers). They totally missed this great opportunity to make life much easier for Oracle Apps customers who have been waiting for this capability that Apex provides. At the present time this is somewhat a black hole. There are people who have figured it out but no one has provided the recipe for everyone else. It's very unfortunate and a complete oversight by Oracle in my opinion. They've got thousands of people developing code but no one had any foresight to see who would use Apex and how they would use it.

Non-Oracle Apache as Front-end/reverse proxy?

Hi,
The question I have is kind of OID-related, but I think is more relevant to OAS, so I hope that I'm posting this in the right forum.
We have an existing OID instance, using the Apache 1.3-based OHS, and up till now, users have been accessing the OID/OIDDAS web-interface directly, e.g., by going to http:<hostname>:7777/oiddas, then signing in.
We also have a (non-Oracle OHS) enterprise-wide Apache 2.x-based reverse-proxy, and they want to be able to reverse-proxy through this Apache 2.x to the OID web interface.
We tried adding the <Location> sections to the Apache 2.x reverse proxy, e.g.:
<Location /oiddas>
ProxyPass http://<hostname>:7777/oiddas
ProxyPassReverse http://<hostname>:7777/oiddas
</Location>
<Location /pls>
ProxyPass http://<hostname>:7777/pls
ProxyPassReverse http://<hostname>:7777/pls
</Location>
Then, when we go to http://<apache-2.0-reverse-proxy-hostname>/oiddas, we get the initial page with the "Login" link. But, when we click on the "Login" link, we are getting a "Forbidden" error (HTTP 403 error).
Has anyone configured something like this before? What else do we need to configure in the Apache 2.x reverse-proxy?
Thanks,
Jim

Hi,
I just stood up a new test instance of 10gAS (only one I had the install files for), and I can access the oiddas via port 7777, i.e., http://<hostname>:7777/oiddas.
I setup a reverse-proxy to it on a separate Apache 2.x instance, and it looks like at least part of the problem is that when I access via the proxy, the 10gAS sends back redirects (HTTP 302) responses with Location headers with the original <10gAS_hostname>:7777.
In other words, I do the original access using http:<proxy_hostname>/oiddas, but then when I click the "Login" link, the 10gAS redirects my browser to http://<10gAS_hostname>:7777/pls/orasso (to go to the SSO server).
This doesn't explain why were were seeing the 403 errors at work, but I think that, as suggested in that webpage that I linked earlier, there are re-directs that may not be totally visible going on, i.e., you can't "just" setup the Apache reverse-proxy with the <Location> directives.
Thus far, I haven't been able to replicate the 403 error problem that we had...

ADF with non Oracle databases?

HI all,
I would like to know, if there are people using ADF but without Oracle database. We are negotiating a new project, and I would IIke to develop it with ADF, but database will be Firebird or Postgres.
I know its possible, but Im searching experiences of using ADF mainly with other databases, and if its worth for this kind of project, or otherwise,if there are so many "changes" not using Oracle db.

ViewObject fetch size with non-oracle flavor?

Hi,
I've been playing with fetch size / mode settings and I've noticed that SQL92 builder seems to ignore fetch size.
When I run my page with fetch mode FETCH_AS_NEEDED and size of 1 and Oracle builder, i get a fetch for each row. When I switch to SQL92 it seems real fetch size is 10 and there's nothing I can do about it as settings are ignored.

What happens with other databases?
Edit: it seems fetch size is completely ignored for MS sql server. All rows are fetched and cached from what I can tell.

Hofespet is right, which is quite unfortunate.
I also found this in the documentation:
SQL style: If the generic SQL92 SQL style is used to connect to generic SQL92-compliant databases, then some view object tuning options will not
function correctly. The parameter that choosing the generic SQL92 SQL style
affects the most is the fetch size. When SQL92 SQL style is used, the fetch size
defaults to 10 rows regardless of what is configured for the view object. You can
set the SQL style when you define the database connection. By default, the SQL
style will be Oracle. To manually override the SQL style, you can also pass the
parameter -Djbo.SQLBuilder="SQL92" to the JVM upon startup.

Pagination support for non-Oracle databases?

Hi,
I just read this thread (Pagination Support on pagination support. Is there any way to get pagination with non-Oracle databases? We are using an IBM iSeries / AS/400 DB2 database right now, and we're planning to use some local lightweight database in the near future as well (probably Cloudscape/Derby or "IBM Everyplace database".)
We currently use code like this:
String sql = "SELECT art FROM Artikel art" +
            /* dynamically generated where statement is added here */
            + "ORDER BY art.artikelNummer";
Query q = em.createQuery(sql);
q.setFirstResult(firstResult);
q.setMaxResults(maxResults);If I look in the TopLink logs, I see queries like this:
SELECT ARTNR, ARALT, ARAFJ, ARXII, ARAVJ, ARXIV, ARANJ, AHGCD, ARNVJ, ARCRJ, ARARK, ARFKJ, ARTNK, ARGP1, ASGCD, ARGP2, ARPR1, ARGP3, ARPR2, AREX1, ARPR3, AREX2, ARPR4, AREX3, ARASA, ARINA, ASSCD, ARIA1, ARBAN, ARIN1, ARBAV, ARIA2, ARBAK, ARIN2, ARCES, ARIA3, ARCDT, ARIN3, ARCRE, ARIA4, ARCWK, ARIN4, ARHBH, ARIA5, ARDFA, ARIN5, ARDFG, ARIA6, ARDOS, ARIN6, AREPW, ARINN, ARFOD, ARIAS, ARFOE, ARINS, ARFOF, ARNAB, ARFOI, ARNIB, ARFON, ARNIA, ARFOS, ARNN1, ARFTA, ARNA2, ARVIV, ARNO2, ARGAP, ARNN3, ARGPT, ARNA4, ARGPD, ARNO4, ARGPA, ARNN5, ARGPO, ARNA6, ARHIS, ARNN6, ARISP, ARNIO, ARKHM, ARNNS, MAGCD, AROVJ, MTGCD, ARPL1, ARMXM, ARPL2, MRKCD, ARPL3, ARMVR, ARVKJ, ARMIM, ARV12, ARMDT, ARVVJ, ARMTE, AR#VR, ARMTU, ARZLS, ARMTM, ARIAT, ARMWK, ARAVS, MPCCD, ARNVS, ARBTW, ARFJS, ARXI2, ARG2S, ARXI3, ARE1S, ARXI4, ARE3S, ARXI6, ARIB1, ARXI1, ARIB2, ARXI5, ARIB3, AROPI, ARIB4, ARPRV, ARIB5, SZGCD, ARIB6, ARSPC, ARINO, ARSMF, ARIOS, VEAAN, ARNIS, ARSYN, ARNO1, ARVR1, ARNA3, ARV1S, ARNN4, ARVR2, ARNO5, ARV2S, ARNIN, ARVR3, ARNOS, ARV3S, ARP1S, ARTFA, ARP3S, ARTFG, ARS12, ARUVC, ARZLD, ARUCW, ARAJS, ARBKV, ARCJS, ARVVI, ARG3S, ARVVP, ARINB, VPOCD, ARIO2, VPECD, ARIO4, ARVIH, ARIO6, ARVHG, ARNBS, ARVRW, ARNN2, ARVPR, ARNA5, ARVVR, ARNAS, ARVVS, ARP2S, ARVV1, ARSVV, ARZK1, ARNJS, ARNA1, ARNO3, ARIO1, ARNO6, ARIO5, AROJS, ARE2S, ARVJS, ARIBS, ARIAD, ARIO3, ARG1S FROM ART WHERE ((((ARUVC = 'N') AND (ARHIS = 'N')) AND (ASGCD = 7)) AND (AHGCD = 15)) ORDER BY ARTNR ASC
(Yeah, I know we have too much columns in the table...)
So, no pagination in the query. As you can see, we have a mechanism in place to dynamically generate a where clause. This is because the user can set filters. The problem is, if our user sets a filter that causes the result set to be significantly smaller, the performance is way better than when he sets no filter at all. We suppose this is because the whole result set is sent to TopLink, regardless of the values of firstResult and maxResults.
We are using TopLink Essentials 2.1-10, by the way.

Hi all,
I'm trying to subclass <tt>DatabasePlatform</tt> to add pagination support for the AS/400 DB2 database of my customer. To be fair, it is not going very well so far.
The first problem is, the query Chris found by googling (Re: Pagination support for non-Oracle databases?), does not work for AS/400s version of DB2. In fact, although it is called "DB2", the database on the AS/400 system is a whole other database than the "normal" DB2 database that runs on Windows and *nix. The AS/400 DB2 simply does not have a "ROW_NEXT" function.
Another option would be to use the <b>row_number() over()</b> mehtod. But, as can be read here, this function is only available from version V5R4 of OS/400. And guess what? We're stuck on V5R3 at this client. (We cannot upgrade, because there's an application in use that's written in Delphi and IBM dropped the Delphi binding from V5R4...)
So I pretty much ran out of options. On the mailing list I linked to above, someone mentions the option to make a sort of stored procedure that generates a row count number. An example of how to do this can be found here. I implemented it, and ended up with this code:

            //The only case where connection will be null should be External Connection Pooling so
            //returning false is ok as there is no connection management requirement
                //If there is no ping sql then we can not perform the ping.
            return false;
        PreparedStatement statement = null;
        try{
            sessionForProfile.startOperationProfile(SessionProfiler.ConnectionPing);
            if (sessionForProfile.shouldLog(SessionLog.FINE, SessionLog.SQL)) {// Avoid printing if no logging required.
                 sessionForProfile.log(SessionLog.FINE, SessionLog.SQL, getPingSQL(), (Object[])null, null, false);

        }finally{
            sessionForProfile.endOperationProfile(SessionProfiler.ConnectionPing);
        return false;
}(As you can see, I had to override the <tt>wasFailureCommunicationBased()</tt> method as well, due to some unexpected NPE's. (A bug, perhaps?))
This code does work. However, the performance is not very well. The first page comes relatively fast, but as you browse further in the table, each page comes slower. I assume this is because the counter() method has to be evaluated for each row in the table.
I have to get the performance better and constant. Does anyone have an idea how to optimize this further?
Best regards,
Bart Kummel

Multi Database Support: TimeQuery setting for non-oracle

Hello,
I wanted to develop ADF Application which is database-neutral and thus SQL92 type application.
I actually wanted to make sure that my application runs fine at least on MySQL DB. Therefore I set up my connection in JDeveloper to Mysql database but I started facing issues while working with it. See this > Re: [ADF-11.1.2] Non Sense Associations and View Links while using Mysql as DB
Also there's some limitation while working with non-oracle database like : JDeveloper can't recognize primary key column, therefore developer has to manually select primary key attribute in each EO.
Therefore, I thought to use Oracle DB to overcome from above issues and with Application as SQL92 type.
Information to share, if applicable to you as well:
1. database-neutral SQLs: It may not be possible to come up with CREATE TABLE SQL statement which is database-neutral. i.e. You have to modify SQL scripts generated from Oracle Database Model to make it work with other database. This I think is difficult part, but with proper care and with the help of tool, you can achieve the CREATE SQL statements for other database.
2. Under Model.jpx file of Model project, you can then add your non-oracle Database to test your application with. But make sure you select Oracle Connection while developing/changing Model layer of project << This is again because i think Jdeveloper has some issue with non-oracle Database (mentioned above)
3. Under bc4j.xcfg file (right click AppModel > Configurations...), you properly set value of "sql92 Db Time Query" (jbo.sql92.DbTimeQuery) property . For e.g. default is "select sysdate from dual" which is compatible to oracle database to fetch the current date from database. However this doesn't work with MySQL. You need to set it as "select now()as CurrentDateTime" if you are using MYSQL. This is require if you are using History Column on EO (I don't know if it is require for other purpose of not!) . Following is the code of bc4j.xcfg, notice "jbo.sql92.DbTimeQuery" property.

Questions:
1. How would I make "jbo.sql92.DbTimeQuery" work with other database. It seems I have to hard code the value of it. Can't we externalize it so that we can set it dynamically ?
2. I am sharing this what I noticed and which is not yet documented (at least I haven't found it anywhere)... please let me know if you are aware of any setting needs to be done which may not be documented ?

Did you ever find out more information about working with Dates in non-oracle databases?

Oracle 11g - Non Oracle JOB ?

Oracle 11g - Non Oracle JOB ?
=====================
I hope this is the right forum for this issue, if not let me, where to go.
We are using Oracle 11g (11.2.0.1.0) on (Platform : solaris[tm] oe (64-bit)), Sql Developer 3.0.04
1) We are loading table using PL/SQL -- > at Oracle server.
2) This data is consumed by Mainframe DB2 process -- > at DB2 server.
3) Return us another table with derived data from DB2 -- > at DB2 server.
There is a IBM JCL read our table and return a Oracle table with calculated data.
Do we able to automate a process using PL/SQL to start the IBM JCL upon loading the table Step (1)?
Are there any alternate approach?
Thanks in helping us.

Hello,
I read the DBMS_SCHEDULER pieces. We need to create a job (Pl/sql procedure or shell script) to configure the DBMS_SCHEDULER.
If we are going to do such thing in the server, where our current Oracle DB instance located, we can perform desired tasks via jobs. No issues.
I reviewed the components within DBMS_SCHEDULER to start job on another server, where there is no Oracle DB instance running. I did not find any clue/pointer on the referred doc.
Do we need any additional components to do such things?
We are on Server A with Oracle DB 11g and Server B with Non-Oracle and no Oracle Instance running there.
How do we create a Job J1 on Server A, where it will request Server B to start a Job J2 in Non-Oracle instance?
Do we have a component within DBMS_Scheduler to do that?
Thanks in helping.

Very very urgent Discoverer reports for non oracle applications

Hi,
My client is using discoverer 10g with R12.He is using different non oracle applications like BRM Application (database is oracle only) for that they wants to develop discoverer reports.It is possible to integrate with non oracle applications with discoverer.
Can you please suggest me.It is very very urgent.
Thanks & Regards.

Hi
You're really not supposed to manage a non-Apps mode EUL and an Apps mode data within the same URL. Having said that, I have a hunch you just might be able to do it and there are 2 ways. You can either make the data available to user who login using E-Business Suite credentials or you can make it available to users who have database credentials. The first one is straightforward and you do it just like any other data. Let me give you some hints regarding the second method.
First of all I ahve not personally tried this and you may find that because Discoverer was initially set up in Apps mode that somewhere down the line it will make the suers connect this way. However, the following is worth a try.
I would a new schema in the Oracle E-Business database to manage the link to BRM and create a database link from this user to a user in the BRM database. You will also need to create user accounts within the database for anyone who needs to login and run BRM reports.
Next, I would create views in this new schema pointing at data across the BRM link, thus allowing Discoverer to think these are local objects.
In Discoverer Administrator, you would need to log in to Discoverer using the owner of the EUL - NOT using SYSADMIN or any of the other E-Business Suite accounts. You should log in with the Oracle Applications checkbox unchecked. You can now create new business areas on the BRM data. You should also be able to assign users to Discoverer privileges and users to business areas.
Using the same URL you would have Apps users connect using the E-Business Suite item on the drop-down for logging in and you would have BPM users choose the Business Intelligence Discoverer item.
Let me know how you get on

Databases/Non-Oracle

Hi All
Kindly suggest how I can use any non oracle database(Sybase) as Source.
Thanks in advance

Here is a brief note about diferent sources including sybase

Oracle Heterogeneous Services
Warehouse Builder communicates with non-Oracle systems using Oracle Database Heterogeneous Services and a complementary agent. Heterogeneous Services make a non-Oracle system appear as a remote Oracle Database server. The agent can be an Oracle Transparent Gateway or the generic connectivity agent included with Oracle Database.
A transparent gateway agent is a system-specific source. For example, for a Sybase data source, the agent is a Sybase-specific transparent gateway. You must install and configure this agent to support the communication between the two systems.
Generic connectivity is intended for low-end data integration solutions and the transfer of data is subject to the rules of specific ODBC or OLE DB drivers installed on the client machine. In this case, you do not need to purchase a separate transparent gateway; you can use the generic connectivity agent included with the Oracle Database server. You must still create and customize an initialization file for your generic connectivity agent.
