Blog or Wiki applications built using APEX

I have been tasked with finding a ready-made solution that we can use as a developers' scrapbook where development team members can store useful hints/tips, code samples, coding standards etc etc
An APEX solution would be best (something similar to Carl Backstrom's APEX demo app, maybe) since it's familiar territory and it would keep the sys admins happy - but I'm open to other solutions.
A non-APEX solution would have to be Windows based, with no server-side requirements.
I quite like TiddlyWiki (http://www.tiddlywiki.com) but it's not multi-user. There is a 'groupauthoring' plugin for it (http://tiddlywiki.bidix.info/) but it requires use of Ruby scripts on the server.
Online blogs like blogspot would be great, but The Business wants to keep everything in-house.
So, has anyone built a blog or wiki-type application using APEX that they would be willing to release 'into the wild'? Or is there another solution that I've missed ...
Cheers
Richard

Hello,
Here is an example of the beginnings of the wiki application, to edit add a subject just login it uses open credentials,
http://apex.oracle.com/pls/otn/f?p=2757:709
the code as it stands here can be downloaded here (it differs slightly from the demo version as i've actually done some dev work on it)
http://oracle-apex.svn.sourceforge.net/viewvc/oracle-apex/wiki/
Feel free to download add critic etc, I defiantly am still looking for someone that knows regex really well it would help greatly speed development along.
There will be movement on this and the forum application as I finally have a bit of time to work on these again, of course anyone that wants to help is greatly appreciated.

Hi, We have an application built using HTMl 5 and Javascript running on IPad2, iOS5.1 Safari 5.1. When we try to download a file(.pvw file) in that application safari throws "Download failed" error. Please suggest what needs to be done.

Hi,
We have an application built using HTMl 5 and Javascript running on IPad2, iOS5.1 Safari 5.1.
When a file url is clicked instead of asking for Save or Open or Cancel options, the file gets opened on IPad by default.
Is this default behaviour which cannot be changed or can it be configured to ask user preference?
When we try to download a file(.pvw file -> a model file) in the above application, safari throws "Download failed" error.
Please suggest what needs to be done.

Safari on an iPad in general does not allow downloading of files. That's a safety precaution in the iOS SDK to keep unauthorized content off of iOS devices. Safari will open from the web site file types that it can handle, but direct downloading isn't normal behavior, and I don't believe the behavior can be changed, though you can try asking in the developer forum, either here or the one to which you have access as a member of Apple's iOS developer program.

Use dataguard with applications built with APEX

Hi all,
I have questions about APEX with Dataguard. Can I develop an application with APEX and then use Dataguard? Can the application switch to Standby Database automatically when there is a failover event?
If it is possible, Can you explain me?
Thank in advance
Vincenzo

APEX should work fine in a Physical Standby as it's an exact copy of your database. Logical Standby should work too, but you need to make sure the FLOWS_ schemas are being replicated and there is no transformation done to them. Also not sure if there are any datatypes in APEX that would not work in a Logical Standby, but you should be able to look those up in the Data Guard Docs then query all_tab_columns where table_owner like 'FLOWS_%' to verify. Physical Standby would be a safer bet.
You want to make sure you install your HTTP server on a different server so it doesn't go down with your database in the event the OS shuts down. Then in the TNS entry for your database you can add [url ="http://download.oracle.com/docs/cd/B19306_01/network.102/b14213/tnsnames.htm#sthref676"]failover=on and the additional IP address(es). This will automatically failover when your primary database is no longer accessible. Personally I would have a second HTTP Server installed at your backup site and handle the failover at the network level. If a sprinkler head pops or your air conditioner fails at your primary site, everything is going to stop there. You can easily have 2 HTTP servers accessing the same APEX install (on one database) at the same time, so it's easy to test / verify the state of the 2nd http server. You'll probably want to mirror the /i/ directory and any image directories you have for your applications from your primary site to your failover.
"Automatically"? Yes, all of this can be configured to happen automatically, but most people (Tom Kyte included) recommend that you only failover manually as it's best to investigate the underlying issues with your primary site before failing over. You should be able to tell within the first 5 minutes whether the problem was a simple network outage or unintentional OS reboot, or a more serious problem such as a corrupt block, Air Conditioning failure, hardware issues, etc. Keep in mind to do automatic failover you need a 3rd site as an observer of your 2 sites to decide which site is "still alive".
Varad, I believe TAF is only a RAC concept, not Data Guard. Furthermore, I'm pretty sure that TAF is not built into APEX. So, in an APEX / RAC installation, if you're running a page that takes say 4 seconds (long running report) and 2 seconds in the database node on which you are running fails, the end user is likely going to see a "404 not found" or some other error, then when they refresh the page it will hit another RAC note and return the results. I'm pretty sure the TAF logic is not built into APEX or mod_plsql to migrate the database session to a new surviving node when it detects a failure. Again, I could be wrong, but I'm pretty sure I'm not in this particular case (someone please prove me wrong).
Thanks,
Tyler

Need to Import an application built using Oracle Service Bus on Oracle Public Cloud

I have built an application using Oracle Service Bus (OSB) eclipsed IDE which transfers file from server1 to server2, reads the transferred file, transforms it into a payload and calls a webservice. I have tested this application locally by installing Oracle Service Bus on one on my servers.
I have java as a service account on Oracle Public Cloud. I would like to import the above application onto Oracle Public Cloud. I am not sure if the Weblogic domain on Oracle Public Cloud has enabled OSB or not.
Let me know if someone can help me.

Hello,
Oracle Service Bus is currently not supported in Oracle Java Cloud Service.

Commerical adobe air application built using Robohelp - thoughts on software protection

Hello Forum,
I am in the process of building a commerical software application - a niche business methodology (processes, tools, templates) - and for which I naturally want to apply *some* level of protection against unauthorized copying. The two main requirements I have are:
1. That the software package itself cannot be installed any number of times on any number of machines (as is currently the case with the adobe air output for distribution).
2. That large chunks of the content cannot be copied and pasted
Here is where my thoughts are so far:
1. There are a number of third party providers in this space. The ones i have idenftifed so far are: LimeLM, NitroLM, Excel Software's AirLicense and Zarqon. There is also something called Sharify out there but from the site and lack of developer response I think this is now dormant. All of these provide a means of locking down one license to one device but that can be transferred if the user loses and changes their device. Has anyone had any experience of these or other solution providers?
2. As I understand it there is html code that can be added to disable copy and paste. Does anyone know what this is? Does anyone know how to apply it?
Finally: we are a small start up without in-house technical skills. This was a major reason we chose RoboHelp as a solution - it meant that the software could be build by us, the subject matter experts who were creating the content. Does anyone know of a good place to crowd-source the technical skill set required to apply both the solutions to 1 and 2 described above?
We are using RoboHelp 9 with Adobe Air desktop application output.
Thanks in advance for any constructive comments - and best wishes to you and yours for 2013!
Felix

Perhaps it's time to take stock of the requirement, what has been established and your options given where you are.
Requirements
You want protection against multiple installs.
You don't want users to be able to copy and paste the content.
Established
Neither of those are built in to AIR Help.
To build them in you would have to create your own AIR application as the RoboHelp code for creating the AIR installer is locked down. Confirmed by Scott Prentice on HATT.
You do not have an house AIR developer.
Options
Tackling Requirement 1 is going to require a developer to replicate what Adobe have done and add the extra requirement that the installer can only run once.
Given the hours that Adobe put into this and with the resources at their disposal, I have to question the commercial viability of that.
A customer could legitimately need to reinstall, for instance in the case of a hard drive failure.
Perhaps my earlier suggestion of finding someone who can wrap up the AIR file in something that deletes it after installation, thereby preventing a second installation, would be viable. You would need to investigate that and do it in a way the customer can get a fresh download where a further installation is legitimate.
Otherwise I think you need to be looking at a very different approach. Your problem is the same one that Adobe face. You will recall that when you installed RoboHelp you had to activate it. That authorises the use of RoboHelp on a specific machine. The licence authorises installation on a second machine and that has to be activated too. Attempt a third activation and you will get a polite refusal until you deactivate an earlier installation. What you need is a commercial organisation to supply your product in a similar way. The trouble there is your product is not an application in the same way as RoboHelp.
You could use the WebHelp output and apply password protection to your site but again you are going to require development skills. Even then, you are relying on your customers not to reveal the password and that sounds like a No No as you don't trust them not to copy and paste the information.
Copy and paste is difficult to prevent. There are tools for web sites that would likely work in webhelp but you also have to prevent screenshots being permitted. Ultimately, going to state secret espionage levels, how do you prevent someone taking a photo of the screen? It's more about making it difficult to do casually rather than making it impossible. A high brick wall around your house makes entry difficult and deters most from attempting entry, it does not make it impossible.
I am sorry this is all negative but the root problem is your approach was wrong given these requirements. Unless someone else has other ideas, I think you need some commercial consultancy for information on how to get this idea off the ground and that is way beyond what this forum offers. Perhaps you could approach Scott Prentice at http://www.leximation.com for such assistance but I think it would be on a fee paying basis. Scott is a very knowledgeable person in many areas and he is very approachable.

Compatability of running composite application built using CAF

Hi all,
I want to know one basic question about using CAF tool.
Suppose if I use CAF of Netweaver 2004s (Netweaver AS 7.00) to build a composite application, is it possible to deploy the solution to the customer who is having Netweaver AS 620 or 630?
Appreciate your help. Thanks in advance
Regards
Guru

Hi Gurunathan,
That's not really possible. You need to deploy the solution to the same J2EE engine version as NWDS where you built your composite application.
Even SP level must be the same. I recently met the problem that a composite application was built under NWDS 7.0 SP8 and even deployment to 7.0 SP7 J2EE engine was failed because of versions incompatibility!
CAF, J2EE engine and NWDS versions must be the same, it's very important for consistency.
Best regards,
Aliaksei

AIR runtime and AIR applications built using Captive Runtime still need Admin Privilege to Install

I am working on a small project to install AIR application(native .exe & .dmg) with AIR runtime without needing the Administrator privilege so I used Captive runtime but the installation is still asking for admin privilege
I bundled AIR application with AIR runtime using Captive runtime from flash builder 4.6, then I packaged this into a .MSI using Advanced Installer. Now when I install it for a user without admin privilege it prompts me for Admin credentials.
Can you please tell me if
1. I need AIR distribution license to install AIR runtime without Admin privilege
2. Do I need a different installer
3. Am I missing any step here
Thank you

If you're installing to a location where Windows requires elevated privileges, like Program Files, you'll need to have admin privileges to continue. Are you using an AIR based native installer or have you taken the application with the captive runtime and rolled this up in your own installer?
Here's a section from the Installation and deployment options in Adobe AIR 3 article that might help:
Installation privileges
When designing an installer, one has the option to choose from approaches that may or may not require administrative privilege. For example, a drag-and-drop install on Mac OS X requires no special privilege; users can always copy the application into their own application folders, for which they have the necessary permissions. On the other hand, if registry keys must be written to the machine-specific portion of the registry on Windows, installation of that application will require administrative privilege to do so.
The two installer formats directly supported by AIR, AIR files and native installers, have always required administrative privilege. This was a design decision made in part to simplify the implementation of the AIR installers: If administrative privilege is assumed to be available, implementation is possible if the registry can be written to, and so on. It was also selected because, in many enterprises, this is the desired behavior: administrators can use the privilege requirement to gate software installation.
All the same, there are scenarios where supporting installation without requiring administrative privileges is desirable, or even necessary. This can now be achieved using custom installers; you simply need to author an installer that operates correctly with only standard user privilege. In practice this can be easy to achieve; a simple install-by-copy to a writable location (that is, in the user's own folder) will suffice. Should you author a more complex installer, you should keep in mind that the addition of certain operations during the install process will in turn reintroduce the requirement for administrative privileges.

Java application built using cr4e(clipse) fails to work in some Windows OSs

I created a variation of the SampleViewerFrameClient, leveraging the opportunity to automatically refresh (refreshReport()) a Crystal report. This worked in Windows 2007, but fails to work in Windows 2008 and 2003 (in a couple of ways).
One theWindows 8 system with Crystal Reports installed, the viewer frame deploys displaying the report selection window, but after selecting and opening a Crystal report, it presents the following error window:
Problem Showing Report
Error Code: -2147467259
This Windows 8 system happens to have both Crystal Reports 2013 and Crystal Reports for Enterprise 4 installed. Java version JDK 7u55.
On the Windows 2003 system, without any Crystal Reports installation, running Java JRE 1.6, it fails with an exception:
unsupported class version error (major.minor 51.0): SampleViewerFrameClient.
It runs fine from eclipse on the Windows 2008 system.
Thanks!

Fixed the unsupported version error (by compiling with appropriate java compiler in Eclipse), and the report launch error in the viewer was resolved as well.

Deployment model for application built on JRC of CR XI

Hi,
I have developed a standalone Java application using JRC component of CR XI. This application will take report template as input, then set datalocation in report tables using JRC and finally generates PDF reports.
This application runs fine and i have tested it on the machine where CRXI is installed. For this application to run, keycode is to be set in CRConfig.xml file.
My question is reg the deployment enviroment (& the keycode):
1) Can an application built using JRC run on a machine where there is no CRXI installed?
2) Should the application built using JRC always have the CRConfig.xml with keycode to work? Is there a way to surpass this?
3) Per my understanding JRC component can be freely embedded in web application, then in this case should the application server also have the CR XI installed to take care of keycode in CRConfig.xml
4) I am expecting my standalone java application with CR XI JRC components to run on a machine that doesn't have CR XI installed, is it feasible & how?
TIA,
M.Ravi

1. I depends upon the application. Your application might be consisting of .rpt file, which is readable only by CR XI. Though application has been built using JRC , It does require CR XI to be installed.
Also there is Keycode Tag in CRConfig.xml which matters a big.
2. Yes, It should always have CRConfig.xml file. But the lates CR4E 2.0 does not require the keycode configured in CRConfig.xml file.

Known Issue – XAudio2 applications built with Windows 10 SDK do not work on Windows 8.x (Windows 10 Insider Preview SDK and tools, April 2015 release)

With this version of the Windows 10 SDK, applications built using XAudio2 will
require XAudio2_9.dll to be on the system, and it is not available for Windows
8.x.

Workaround: Deploy apps using the Windows.Networking.NetworkOperators and Windows.Devices.Sms APIs to a real Windows Phone device that is using an OEM developer account.

Help With "Package An Application" Using APEX 3.0.1 with XE

I'm using apex 3.0.1 and XE Database and I'm trying to create a package application but without succes, I can find the way to do it and I know that it's possible. What I'm trying to do is create a file like the package application that we can download from Oracle page but for an application I create.
Looking here in the forums I found this link:
http://www.oracle.com/technology/oramag/oracle/06-jul/o46browser.html
And I was trying to follow it step by step until I found the Step 4: Package Up the Application, number 7.
1. In the breadcrumb links in the upper left-hand corner of the screen, click the Application nnn link (where nnn corresponds to the ID of the employee lookup application in your Oracle Application Express instance).
2. Click the Edit Attributes icon, and then click Supporting Objects.
3. Click Edit.
4. In the Welcome section, enter readme text for the application in the Message field, such as "This application lets users browse employee information. Users accessing the application with a USERID stored in the table can upload a photo if one does not already exist."
5. Click the right arrow to go to the Prerequisites tab.
6. To ensure that folks who already have a table named OM_EMPLOYEES in their schemas don't run into a conflict with this script, enter OM_EMPLOYEES in the first Object Names field and click Add.
[b]7. Click the Scripts tab.
8. Click Create.
9. Click the Copy from SQL Script Repository icon.
10. Enter Create Table, Sequence, and Trigger in the Name field, and click Next.
11. Select om_employees.sql, and click Create Script.
12. Repeat steps 9 through 11 for the om_download_pict.sql and seed_data .sql scripts. Feel free to name these scripts as you see fit.
13. Click the Deinstall tab, and click Create.
14. Click the Create from File icon.
15. Click Browse, select the drop_om_objects.sql script (included with this column's download file), click Open, and click Create Script.
16. Click the right arrow.
17. Select Yes for Include Supporting Object Definitions in Export.
18. Click Apply Changes.
I can't find the scrips tab and I completely lost. I start to believe that this steps don't apply for Apex 3.0.1.
If anyone of you could help me with this, please do it, I really need it.
Johann.

Johann,
That doc was probably written against 2.2 because in 3.0, we reworked the supporting objects page a bit. If you are on Supporting Objects, in the Installation region, click on Installation Scripts. For more information, check the Advanced Tutorials document off our OTN site for a Tutorial called Reviewing a Packaged App (something like that - I can't access the doc at the moment).

Is it possible to change the first page of a web application that was built using the UI?

Hello Community
    Using Sharepoint 2010 Server and the UI I built and application and would like
to continue building the web application using the UI.
    The application's first page was built using a Blank Site template and
the subsequent subsites were built using the Team Site template.
    In retrospect the first page should also have been built using a Team Site template.
    It may be unnecessary to make to delete the application
and create the first page as a Team Site and then have to create all of the
subsites (Team Sites) all over again.
    As a solution to prevent deleting the whole application and creating application
with all of the subsites all over again whether it is possible to do any of the
following:
    - Convert the Blank Site page into a Team Site page which would allow
me to leave all of the subsites as is.
    - rename the Blank site page which would in effect would be renaming the application
then create a new Team Site page which would be essentially creating a new application and
then adding all of the subsites contained in the renamed application that has the first page
as a Blank page.
    And if is possible to add, copy or move the subsites from existing sites to a new Team Site
page, how do you add, copy or move the subsites from one application to a diffent application?
    Thank you
    Shabeaut

Hi Shabeaut,
According to your description, my understanding is that you want to change the template of the root site without creating the susites in another web application.
I recommend to export all the existing subsites and import them to new web application.
