Application Express Name Change???

All,
I know this is going to sound stupid... But, can someone give Application Express a better name?
Application Express is a better name than HTMLDB. And I can see why it's new name was chosen - it all makes sense.
The problem is with the seemingly duplicitous word "Express" in todays world. I know it means "Fast" in this case - that we can create applications quickly and easily. But for people that don't work with the software yet control which software is used or not (management), the word "Express" with regard to software has another meaning altogether.
Typically software is offered in various levels and the word "express" generally refers to the bottom of the heap. In Oracle it's no different: "Enterprise" is the big boy and "Express" is the starter. Just to prove the point, what if we called it Application Enterprise? (not that we should) But see how that just sounds better? It would inspire confidence from the start!
I just hate the fact that Application Express gets a bad rap from its name. It's the whole judging a book by its cover thing. Ok, I'll shut up now - I just had to make my thoughts known ;)
Regards,
Dan

Hi,
Joel's got the right idea. Just change your pronunciation from Ap-Ex, which invites management to ask "what's that stand for?" to A-pex. Of course, your boss must have a good enough English vocabulary to know what "apex" means! No promises there!
Photoshop Express was mentioned, which is the photo editor I use because I don't want to pay for and have the learning curve for the 800-pound gorilla that is Photoshop. I just want a fast way to get my photos (and web applications) done. On that basis, I like Application Express even better!

Changing airtunes name after Airport Express name change

I'm running 7.0.1 and an Airport network. Last night I changed my Airport Express name, having moved the express to a different room. When I start iTunes, it still has the old Express name in the list. I can't seem to find a way to have it reset its list. Basically I think iTunes needs to do a new search for Airtunes points to change that list.
Suggestions?

I have the same issue - applicable to iTunes 7.0 and 7.1. I updated both of my airport express units with new names. The airport admin utility sees the new names properly. iTunes however still displays the old name. Airtunes functionality still works - but I'd like the names in iTunes to be displayed properly.
Anyone have ideas on how to solve this?

Airport express name change, not showing properly in iTunes

I needed to swap the location of two Airport Express units, and I renamed them accordingly. They show up properly within Airport Utility/OS X, but within iTunes they seem to be cached to their old names. How do I reset them, flush the cache, or simply get them to show properly within iTunes?

I had the same problem and finally worked it out!
Go to the _AirPort Utility_, click on the *Airport Express*, click the *Manual Setup* button and click on the Music icon at the top. You'll see the "iTunes Speaker Name", which relates to the name in iTunes...

Slow changing dimensions in application express GUI

I need some kind of slow changing dimensions for application express GUI in order to be able
1) simply allow users to edit 1 row for 1 object in APEX GUI
2) widely use historical data in reporting.
I.E.:
Client's Last name (address, etc) was changed. I need to show in reports two points: before change and after:
ID Name Order_date Amount
12 Clark 1/1/10 500
12 Johnson 5/1/10 200
Are there common solutions?

There are probably a few approaches you can take:
1) Fine Grained Auditing (FGA) - very extensive and can be completely customized.
http://download.oracle.com/docs/cd/B19306_01/network.102/b14266/cfgaudit.htm#sthref1766
2) Triggers - if you have basic needs on a few tables/columns, it may be easier to just roll your own trigger. You can compare the :old to the :new value, and if they differ, write both to your own auditing table.

Changing Airport Express name problems

I have three Airport Expresses on a recently set-up network in three different rooms in my house, everything works fine as far as the connections and transmission but here's the problem I can't figure out how to correct. The Airport Express units were from another network at another house where I also used my two Macs, a Macbook and an iMac. The Airports had different room/location ID's/names at the old place, so when I set them up here I gave them new station names according to where they were placed. The names changed fine on the Airport Express's but didn't change on the two Macs. So, how do I reset the station names on the computers in iTunes, does anyone know?

I'm having the same problem. I looked at the Preferences, but can't find any solution.
Anyone at Apple know how to fix this. The folks at the store don't.

How can we change default port 8080 of application express

Hi all,
Does anyone know how to change default port 8080 in application express to run on only "80"? I have tried the following link, but when i am trying to run using 80, error is being thrown.

Application Name Changed on AppStore

Did a few searches today on this subject and didn't see anything listed. I have an application that I purchased the day the AppStore was first released. Subsequent to that purchase, the name of the application was changed on the AppStore. My iPhone has not been updated to the new name and the application listed in iTunes still shows the original name.
Does anyone know if I will still be eligible for free updates to the application and/or will the name update to the new name at some point in time?

Did some more searching and it looks like this issue can be resolved in a couple of ways. Apparently, Apple utilizes a Unique application ID not tied to the application name. If an application name changes, you can resolve the problem by:
1. Downloading and installing an update to the application when it is released.
2. Remove the application from your iPhone & iTunes and then redownload the application in iTunes and re-install on your iPhone. iTunes will recognize that you have already purchased the application and you will be allowed to re-download the re-named version at no charge. Removing the old one from your iTunes and your iPhone is what allows you to re-download it and re-install it.
I hope this helps someone else who may be having questions on how this works.

Change over from Apex to Application Express

When I connect to Oracle 10G XE I use the following URL:
http://127.0.0.1:8087/apex/f?p=4550:11:73807998927860::NO:::
Now I have downlaoded Oracle Application Express. How do I use it with my existing data on 10G XE?
Do I need to have 11g?
Thanks
Edited by: user506392 on Sep 15, 2009 2:42 PM

Perhaps the following will help:
Oracle has a family of Database products. These are released every few years. The last few releases are
Oracle 7; Oracle8; Oracle8i Database; Oracle9i Database; Oracle Database 10g; Oracle Database 10g Release 2; Oracle Database 11g; Oracle Database 11g Release 2
For Oracle Database 10g Release 2, the family consists of a number of Editions which represent groups of features. In the follow list of editions, each successive one to the right includes the features of the one to the left:
Express Edition; Standard Edition One; Standard Edition; Enterprise Edition; Personal Edition
SO you can see, Express Edition (known as XE) has the fewest features. Each feature, when released, has a version. Some of these features included with Express Edition are
- SQL language version 10.2.0.1
- Oracle Networking 10.2.0.1
- SQL*Plus 10.2.0.1
- Oracle XDB 10.2.0.2
- Application Express 2.2 (known in the community as HTMLDB, ApEx or Apex)
The Apex feature gives us several capabilities: a web application development tool; an Oracle database access tool; (with XDB) a web application run time engine a bit like a mini Apache server. All of these capabilities (and more) are available using a browser.
Apex 2.2 was a customized version of Apex designed for Express Edition. It includes several applications that can be used to administer an Oracle database.
Oracle designed Apex to be easily upgraded. Since "Oracle Database 10g Release 2 Express Edition" (Oracle 10g XE for short) Oracle has provided several new versions, any of which can run in XE. However, the special applications used to manage Oracle DB are not available.
By looking on the page I previously mentioned, you can get an idea of the new capabilities available in the newest version of Apex - version 3.2. It's up to you to decide whether it's worth losing the DB Admin capabilities in order to get those new Apex developer capabilities.
In any case, you shoudl have enough background now to at least look at, and start to understand, the Apex tutorial and some of the other info on the Apex page, as well as the XE documentation page at http://www.oracle.com/pls/xe102/homepage

Unfortunately I can't provide much help, other than that we have seen this before with 9iR2, but haven't yet figured out when this does occur, so not sure if it's related to a specific patch version. If possible, I'd recommend upgrading to database 10g or higher. And if we do figure out under what circumstances this problem comes up in 9iR2, I'll post this on the forum.

Although when I enter any wrong password, a message with Invalid Login Credentials appear
User Name: admin
Old password: password
New password: oracle
Thanx

Hi Scott
Same results in both IE and FF?
I have only IE
Do you have cookies enabled in the browser?
Yes cookies are enabled in the browser
Does the login page have only two text fields , username and password?
Yes
When you say "no action happen" does that mean you just see the login page all the time or do you see a blank page or something else?
Yes I just see the login page all the time

Check Box Bug in Application Express 4.0.2.00.06

Hi All
I was wondering if someone can help me with checkboxes, I'm trying to implement in the report.
I was following Oracle instruction, but it does not work in my application, for some reason.
First Issue:
If I add in a query report the following line apex_item.checkbox(1,attachment_id) del, in the report display as *<input type="checkbox" name="f01" value="48" />* and not the checkbox item.
However, I can overcome this problem by going into the region report and in display change as simple checkbox.
Second Issue
When I check any of checkboxes and click on delete button, I'm getting the following error.
Not found
The requested URL /apex/wwv_flow.accept was not found on this server
I'm using Application Express 4.0.2.00.06
Any ideas why this is happening?
Any sugestions are welcome
Please help me
Thanks in advance.

I'm getting a very strange error using the API for APEX_ITEM as well on Application Express 4.0.2.00.07
select APEX_ITEM.checkbox (1, style_color) as "Selection", image,item,sizes,available_date, price, suggested_retail, Percent_Savings
from sav_tab
This is a table.
There are NO where conditions.
The on_submit process updates a page item :p3_selected with the checkbox contents:
declare
v_select varchar2(4000);
begin
:P3_SELECTED :='';
FOR I in 1..APEX_APPLICATION.G_F01.COUNT LOOP
if APEX_APPLICATION.G_F01(i) is not null then
:P3_SELECTED := :P3_SELECTED ||(APEX_APPLICATION.G_F01(i))||',';
end if;
END LOOP;
end;
It was returning: item,item,item
all of a sudden, it's now it's returning item, column4 contents from the whole page.
What the heck!!!!!
Edited by: Canucklehead on Mar 15, 2011 2:16 PM
I was able to get this working again, by using a different field:
APEX_ITEM.checkbox (5, style_color) and G_F05

Problem while importing the application in application express 3.0

Hi Friends
We have developed an application in a workspace say X. I imported the complete application in different workspace Y and the import was successfully. Now if I export a single page from that application in workspace X and import in workspace Y, then it gives me error as
"This page was exported from a different application or from an application in different workspace. Page cannot be installed in this application."
Also I tried changing the application id in the export file but did not work.
Is their a workaround for this?
(We are using application express 3.0.0.00.20)
Thanks
Minakshi

Hi Scott
1 ) Page exports are to be imported into an application having the same ID as the source application in the same named worskpace.
But the problem is I cannot have same application id in the same workspace or in different workspaces even. I exported the complete application from workspace X with application id as 555 and tried importing the application in workspace Y with the same application id. But that does not work since it throws the error message as the same application id cannot reside in 2 different workspaces.
2) You don't say whether workspaces X and Y are in the same or different databases.
Both the workspaces X and Y are in the same database. The database user/schema that is associated with workspaces X and Y are different.
3) Also I tried changing the application id in the export file but did not work.
Following is the extract of the page that i tried importing. The places wherever it is marked BOLD, i modified them in the original page export sql file.
--application/set_environment
prompt APPLICATION 500 - Load_Factor_System
-- Application Export:
-- Application: 500
-- Name: Load_Factor_System
-- Date and Time: 15:52 Wednesday May 16, 2007

-- Version: 3.0.0.00.20

In case you need further clarifications, please let us know.

Column name change in Interactive Reports

Hi,
I am new to Interactive reporting. We have a report that is resulted from Essbase query. Now in the report, we want to change the column names which are basically the essbase dimension member name. Is it possible to chang ethe names per our requiremnet?
Please help.

Hi again,
I think that you may have posted your question in the wrong forum. This one is for Oracle Application Express and maybe that is the reason why you didn't understand my response. If your issue involves Hyperion Interactive Reporting Studio or Hyperion reporting in general then you should ask in this forum instead:
