Application Import broken in Apex 3.2.1.00.10?

Hiya, trying to import my app into a new installation of Apex. I choose the file type, choose the encoding (utf-8), choose the file, click "next" and it says:
*1 error has occurred*
File must be selected to upload.
(also, I cannot login using Internet Explorer as it always returns to the login screen without any error messages, but Firefox and Chrome I can login in, just that the import will not work. )
What's up?

Hi, I don't know the DAD (we're using mod_owa to boot so..)
But it appears that there is a 32 kb limitation in file uploads in mod_owa, and that's causing it. I don't know for sure since I do not administer the server and have no access to it in any way other than the apex web gui.
But I assume it is also possible to run the application import script through sqlplus?
As for the IE login problem, that was caused by the host name having an underscore. IE would not accept the cookie :)

APEX 2.2 application import file error

Hi all,
When trying to import an apex export file and clicking NEXT button, got error on page. Nothing happens! Still remains at first step.
What is wrong?
Im have a brand new apex 2.2. install in a Ora 10g rel2 DB.
I created a workspace and now Im logged in to that workspace.
First I created my apps on a standalone Application Express 2.1.0.00.39
Now i'm trying to importing this in apex 2.2
here is a listing:

got error on page.
Nothing happens!Of course, those are contradictory statements. What "happened" was that a javascript error occurred. Use a browser tool to get the details of the error.
Maybe you did not follow all of the installation steps (web toolkit patch, edit conf files, etc.).
DAD CHARACTERSET: CP850This looks incorrect. The DAD charset must be AL32UTF8.

Upgrade option now available after application import into APEX V4.0.x

I notice that there is a new button called "Upgrade Application" in V4.0.x which appears after one completes an application import. (The other two are "Run Application " and Edit Application"). This button takes you to a list of fixes (such as implementing not null validations as dynamic actions) than can be applied to a pre version 4 Apex application. How do you get back to this list of options after you have exited out of the import process? I'd like to revisit these and apply them.
thanks in advance

From the application home page, click the Utilities icon, then the Upgrade Application icon.

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. ORA-06550: line 16, column 28: PLS-00103: Encountered the symbol &quot;牃慥整㈰㈯⼴〲㐰〠㨷㐵㈺′䵐&quot; when expecting one of the following: ( - + case mod new not null &lt;an identifier&gt; &lt;a double-quoted delimited-identifier&gt; &lt;a bind variable&gt; avg count current exists max min prior sql stddev sum variance execute forall merge time timestamp in
As a workaround, I check the exported file and found this
wwv_flow_api.create_flow
p_documentation_banner=> 'ç‰ƒæ…¥æ•´â ¤ãˆ°ãˆ¯â¼´ã€²ã °ã€ ã¨·ã µãˆºâ€²äµ
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.
Nicolas.

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.

Possible Bug In Application Import (LOV binding lost for columns in IR)

Hi,
I've experienced strange behavior when after I imported application into APEX 4.1
What I have done:
1) Exported application from 4.0 - (db 11.1)
2) Imported application into different instance - APEX 4.1 (db 11.2) to different workspace (using diferent schema) and with different application ID - manually changed (original was 106 new was 206)
What happened:
In Interactive Reports columns that were displayed as "Display as Text (Based on LOV, escape special characters)" lost their link to appropriate LOV - so the field "Named List of Values" shows "- Select Named LOV -" instead of the LOV name, which was assigned there in original application I exported.
Also - Named LOV imported OK with application.
And If application was imported under same ID, this issues was not there. So it looks only related if application ID changes from exported app.
Any idea why such strange behaviour happens? Is it bug, if yes is there already fix for it?
I have two workspaces on same db instance and want to migrate application between them - this make things complicated.
Regards
Ivan

Hi,
this is bug# 10369735 which has been fixed in 4.1. It was a problem of the export in 4.0 which didn't include all the necessary information. See Copying or exporting an application - bug? LOVs not getting set in reports
So I think you have two options:
1) If you upgrade your existing 4.0 system to 4.1 you should be fine. If you now export your app all the LOV information will be included.
2) If you export from a 4.0 system and import it into a 4.1 system you have fix your LOVs once again and then you are fine.

Bug report: sql developer/application express application import

I noticed some bugs on deploying an application using sql developer 1.5.1-5440.
Using a single file deployment generated by apex including install/upgrade/remove scripts: Here's what happens:
# I tried installing version 1.1 of my application already existing. Connected to the parsing schema of the version 1.0 I can clearly see my app "dashboard(101)"
# using sql dev I tried an application import. Using the following import options buildstatus =runonly, autoassign app_id and checked run install scripts
# The install runs, but instead of using the upgrade script it simply runs the install script causing a lot of errors of course since the objects already exist in the schema
# After this installation the application is visible in the workspace using a browser dashboard(102), however it remains invisible in sql developer where i can still only see dashboard(101)
After this failure I decided to go ahead and try once more doing the same thing but now just not check run install scripts.
To my amazement it still runs the install scripts???
Now I have 3 application showing in the browser and still only 1 in sql developer
Final problem with sql developer is that I choose to drop dashboard(101) it only deinstalls the application. It does not run the deinstall script for supporting objects included in dashboard(101).
All this makes an easy deployment a real hassle, since the browser interface can't handle a run only apllication with supporting object as all (it simply doesn't run the install script) I need to use sql developer, which is then fine for the first install, but then doen't upgrade properly. Finaly deinstalling a run only application again is impossible from a workspace and does work from sql developer, but then you still have to do the deinstall of the db objects manually.
I know as an apex admin I can work arround al this by switching the build status etc etc, but then again I can do anything if I'm apex admin and db sys.Point in having a single file deployment is allowing a novice user to easily install.

Hi Scott
Thanks for the reply
sspadafo wrote:
Run Only applications don't show up in the application list because they should not be editable. But perhaps it could display an icon indicating that.In my opinion they should and they do. The single app that is appearing in the list in sql developer is run only. Having it here allows me to select drop amongst other functionality the browser interface currently still lacks. Even when I drop all apps and than reinstall them again it seems like I can only see 1 version of an app with the same name.
sspadafo wrote:
The problem you described where you can't use the Application Install wizard to install supporting objects if the application is set to Run Only should be fixed in the upcoming 3.1.2 release/patch.I've installed the patch and I'm afraid the patch is no good either. Indeed is has improved. After the app installs it shows the supporting object dialogue. But if you then select yes and press Next it does absolutely nothing and redirects tot the application showing Application not available for edit.
So if you would be so kind to reopen bug 7286162
So while I'm on this section in my opinion the following bugs exist/features are missing
SQL Developer interface
# Not all application for parsing schema are shown in connection explorer. It seems like it can multiple show apps with different names only not when you install the same app twice with different app_id's. Then it only show the lowest app_id.
# Installing runonly app with supporting objects installs supporting object regardless of option selected
# Installing runonly app with upgrade scripts ignores update scripts and runs install scripts regardless of "install supporting objects" checkbox's state
# De installing app shows unpredictable behaviour for running deinstall scripts. It seemingly prompts random. Sometimes it does, sometimes it doesn't. When it does show I get behaviour like initially prompting for running deinstall script, failing to run deinstall script, causing neither app or objects to be dropped, on retry not showing prompt anymore and only dropping app.
Browser interface
# Installing a runonly app always finishes with a white page showing only Application not available for edit instead of showing a proper installation summary
# Installing a runonly app still prevents installation of supporting objects
# De installing a runonly application is not possible. Possible a button for de install could be included on page 4000:733
# Unable to perform important application level task from workspace like changing status, alias, global notification, proxy \\ (which are all available in the sql developer interface and imho could all be added to page 400:733 of the browser interface)
Hope this helps,

Specifying character set on application import

hi --
I'm running into a problem that I think has to do w/ character sets.
I'm using non-breaking spaces in numerous LOVs; they're entered in as ALT +0160 on the keypad. These non-breaking spaces work great in the development environment of APEX (eg in the development app), and now I need to export/import the app to a production environment, which is runtime only.
The NLS_CHARACTERSET on both the development and production databases is US7ASCII.
When I import the app into the runtime installation of APEX I simply run the export file in sqlplus as the schema user.
(It has been scp'd over, as a text file, from the development server.)
The application imports and runs fine, but the non breaking spaces are displayed as garbage characters.
I did some testing on apex.oracle.com. I noticed that when I specify character set of unicode utf-8 on import,
the non-breaking spaces work properly. When I specify US-ASCII, I get the same garbage I'm getting in
my production environment.
When I export the app from the development environment, the character set is fixed (cannot be changed) to unicode utf-8. But I'm not doing anything to set the character set on import (don't know that I can...), and I wonder if it's adopting the database default character set of ASCII.
How can I get the imported app to use the desired character set? Am I going to have to convert this to a development
environment just so I can specify the character set on import, or is there a way to do it in sqlplus?
I'm not entirely sure I'm on the right track... but maybe someone has ideas how to get these non breaking spaces working in the production environment.
If access to my workspace on apex.oracle.com would be helpful, let me know.
Thanks,
Carol

I forgot to mention that, from what I've recently read, ASCII does not have a representation for non breaking spaces... so the behavior I'm experiencing is at least consistent with that...

Scott,
Thanks for taking the time to look into this for me. The problem was occuring in the help text section of the page. I ran a report to see if there were any others and there were about a half dozen that were the same problem. They all appeared to be the remnents of an apostrophe from what I can tell and the placement in the text. I immediately thought it was a problem with the upgrade from 2 to 2.2 since I didn't have any problems in the past seven months working with 2.0, but to my amazement I had those garbled characters in my exports from around the time I upgraded to 2.0. I'll never know when the errors occured because it looks like I added the help text around the dates that I upgraded from 1.6 to 2.0 .
Here is what it looked like while letting Apex render the page:

How do I create "Oracle Application Express Adminstrator" in APEX 3.2.1?

Hello,
Quite the newbie so I appreciate any assistance with this.
How do create "Oracle Application Express Adminstrator" in APEX 3.2.1? I am not talking about a workspace adminstrator but an Entire APEX instance administrator or "superuser"?
I log into APEX_ADMIN as ADMIN and understand how to create a new user. But how do I grant the new user DBA or "super user" privlidges? It was easy to do when I first installed XE, I would just "check" the "DBA" when I created the user. But when I upgraded to APEX 3.2.1 the function does not seem to be there?
Thank you for any help you can provide!

Hi,
I think you can not grant DBA role from Apex anymore.
You need connect to database e.g. with SYS user and grant that role.

Oracle application server 10g and apex

Hi allm
Can someone show me a guide on how to use Oracle Application Server 10g with APEX. I'm currently using Oracle HTTP Server but decided to use OAS instead so that I can use the Report Server and the Oracle BI Publisher for the reports.
I'm currently using this guide (http://www.oracle.com/technology/products/database/application_express/howtos/howto_useoas10g.html) but I can't seem to find the marvel.conf and the oracle_apache.conf.
Also, is it really necessary to use OAS instead of Oracle HTTP Server if I want to use Oracle BI Publisher?
Thanks.
Allen
Edited by: A.Sandiego on Sep 3, 2008 12:01 AM

Hi,
Thanks for the response.
Unfortunately I still get the same problem. Somehow I just can't find the marvel.conf anywhere in my machine. I setup my APEX not by using the companion cd but by downloading the apex_3.1.2 then running the apexins.sql. Then install the Oracle HTTP Server only and configured the dads.conf located in the ORACLE_HTTP_SERVER_HOME/Apache/Apache/mod_plsql/conf. It works perfectly with this.
I then installed Oracle Application Server 10g. I'm trying to figure out how to use this instead of the Oracle HTTP Server.
Thanks.

Application import/export failing, hopefully a simple one though

hi all,
i'm very new to oracle and am trying to get going with xe. i'm working between work and home and want to be able to transport wherever i'm at to work/home - so i thought the application import/export function would be the best way? first of all, is it?
if so - i keep getting the
failed to parse SQL query:
ORA-00942: table or view does not exist
error
i'm running the same versions of oracle, on the same platforms (Application Express 2.1.0.00.39, winXPpro all service packed up). both my users have dba roles and the apps work fine on the machines i created them on. the import and install processes claim to be successful and the error only comes up when i try to log in to the application. any ideas?
btw - the apps are just simple tests, dependences etc with a couple rows in each table]
any help be much appreciated even if its "go read this!" as i've googled away & got not much....
cheers!

Your problem is likely that in your office you do not have the tables required by your program. The export does not include your tables. You have to create them yourselves

Commercial Application developed with Oracle APEX

Except the commercial application list on the official Oracle APEX web-site, anyone can give more information regarding commercial application developed using Oracle APEX?
One I can find: XPinventory (http://xp4each.wordpress.com).

I'm curious - is there a problem with the 15 commercial applications listed at http://www.oracle.com/technology/products/database/application_express/html/apex_com_commercial_apps.html? What are you specifically looking for?

Application Import Fails - Why??

I have transferred my portal from Linux (Ver 3.0.9.8.2) to Win 2K (Ver 3.0.9.8.2). All the application imports failed to actually provide the applications. They did however bring in the shared templates that the applications use. I cannot re-create the applications by hand because when I try the portal responds by telling me that they already exist. Subsequent attempt to import them again also states that they exist.
Looking for them in the portal navigator - they do not exist.
Looking in wwv_modules$ shows my components.
We now have an exact copy of our Linux Portal on Win2K except for the fact that it has absolutely no functionality.
Is there any way that we can fix our new portal on Win 2K before I go ahead and try the same thing on our new Linux Server.

Carola,
I have no idea why this is happening. You may send the application export file (or the export file for page 60 only) to [email protected] and I will check it.

Application Import : MENU's are LOST

Hi,
We have a problem where we have exported an Application & imported it to a diff. box with same config.(10g/Linux)
All the MENU Ref. to the REGION is LOST ..it shows something like : M1816729359141287, Instead of the "MENU: Task" Name ...
Please HELP.This is a very serious problem. Did anybody faced this ?
Thanks
Sandeep

Sandeep,
I'm not sure what's going on. If you don't change application IDs, the menu regions should not have this problem (it turns out that even changing workspace IDs does not cause a problem).
I tried this on the production version of HTML DB on htmldb.oracle.com by creating an application with a menu and a page with a menu region. I exported the application and then re-imported and installed it using the same application ID. It works fine.
Are you using the import/install pages or SQL*Plus to import/install? You might try the SQL*Plus method if you have not yet tried it. Simply connect as the application schema used by the application and run the application export file.

Please advise. This block has been used before to deploy APEX exports.

I'm front of the same issue.
Did you find a solution ?
