BRANCH_TO_PAGE_ACCEPT

Please let me know where this is documented.
Thanks

I have long since killed my attempts at getting this to work. However, I have reproduced the issue in a minimalist fashion thusly:
1. create new application with one blank page, no authentication and theme 3. Logging in shows teh user "ANONYMOUS"
2. create a new authentication scheme from scratch with invalid session target p101 and custom function to authenticate "return test_authorization;" as
create or replace function test_authorization
(p_username in varchar2, p_password in varchar2)
return boolean
as
begin
return true;
end;
make this current
3. on p101, create item P101_ID in the login region with sequence 5
delete process get username cookie
change p_username and p_password in process login to nvl(:P101_ID,user)
4. create html file in o/s:
<HTML>
<BODY>
startup 104
<p>
startup 104
<p>
</BODY>
</HTML>
The first link happily populates P101_ID; thence hitting login invokes Page1 with PASSDIN showing as the user. No worries. Expected.
I aleso expected the second link to do the same in one hit. But it just displays page 101 with 3 blank fields. Why?

Submit Action and Redirect page in Tabular form Column Link

Hi All,
I have a scenario to submit the current page and redirect to another page with the arguments, when i clink on the link which is created using column link in Report Attributes.
I can able to perform the submit action, but redirection is not happening.
Created a column link on non database column by providing
Link Attribute : <a href="#" onclick="doSubmit('SAVE')">#FAM_DET#</a>
Target : Page in this application
Page : 7
Item name : P7_TRAVEL_REQ_ID
item Value: #TRAVEL_REQ_ID#
Item name : P7_TRAVEL_REQ_LINE_ID
item Value: #TRAVEL_REQ_LINE_ID#
Can anyone help me out to resolve this.

Remove the link attribute (what you have used there is not the correct way to use this property anyway).
Change the target page to the same page as the report.
Set the Column Link Request property to BRANCH_TO_PAGE_ACCEPT|SAVE.
Create an On Submit: After Processing (After Computation, Validation, and Processing) branch to page 7, conditional on the SAVE request.
If the SAVE request can be triggered by something other than the report link (e.g. a Save button) then use another request value that will trigger the required page process in the link request and branch condition, e.g. BRANCH_TO_PAGE_ACCEPT|APPLY and APPLY respectively.
Note that there is a bug in BRANCH_TO_PAGE_ACCEPT processing in APEX 4.2.3 and a patchset exception must be installed for this approach to work on this APEX release.

Auto Login in Apex 4.2.3

Hi All,
Am calling a apex application url from a third party application. In the url am passing user name and password and i to want to check the user is valid user or not, if the user is valid then it should skip the login page and go to the home page. I created a custom authentication to validate user.
This is my url
http://host-name:7777/pls/apex/f?p=104:101::BRANCH_TO_PAGE_ACCEPT:NO::P101_USERNAME,P101_PASSWORD:username,password
If i run the application from the third party application,it directly going to login.
Can any one help me to achieve this
Brgds,
Max.

I have done similar thing in my apex application, in which user directly logs into another apex application without facing Login page.
This is the only thing I did.
1. Copied the Login process.
I copied the login process and changed the process point as after header.
and made the process conditional. Condition was username and password field should not be null.
Thats it.
as soon as you redirect to Apex application from third party application, Login process will see if username and password are there or not. If those fields are not null then your regular login process will be executed.
I hope it solves your problem.
Please don't forget to mark if the answer was correct or helpful.

How to redirect to a page after login fails?

Since I am working on an automated login from Forms I would like the login page to redirect to an error page if the login fails. I can't seem to find an option for this.
I am using a public page that branches to 101 with BRANCH_TO_PAGE_ACCEPT, but when login fails I see this login page.
Instead of that I would like to redirect to a public page that shows a message.
How can I do this?
Wendy

A login failure is when the user and/or pass is not correct. I do not want to show page 101 but a different page when this happens.
I am using the default login page but I am calling it with BRANCH_TO_PAGE_ACCEPT so the user never sees it and I want to keep it that way....

Calling Apex page from Oracle Forms

Hi,
I haven't managed to find a similar thread anywhere.
I would like to call an apex page from a form. The page is in an app that requires authetication.
I can able to open the page by using web.show_document but that only takes me to the login page.
How can I overpass the authentication by passing somehow the username and password?
Is there any similar or easier way to do what I am after?
Many thanks

Hi,
You could try the BRANCH_TO_PAGE_ACCEPT URL functionality. There are a few threads on this subject - for example: Re: authentication with credentials from another domain? I haven't used this myself, but if you do a search on the forum for this, you may find other threads that can help.

Flash Chart Printing Help

Hi Everyone,
I have a question regarding printing of a flash chart region. I created flash charts using several chart series of pl/sql code that are functions returning SQL queries (generates my dynamic SQL query).
We have our printing configured to use BI Publisher and works with report regions, but how do I have this functionality for flash charts?
I attempted going down the route of creating report layouts using report queries, but when specifying the source query, it only allows SQL and no option for functions returning SQL queries (does not let me use PL/SQL code). Is there a solution for this?
Your help is greatly appreciated.
Regards,
Luis

Link to a page that will branch to different pages based on a page item that is sent via the chart link.
For example:
Create Page 220 with an hidden item P220_TABLE.
On Page 220 create a branch to the page for your 'COMPANIES' table with a condition of Value of Item / Column in Expression 1 = Expression 2, Expression 1: P220_TABLE, Expression 2: COMPANIES
Create additional branches for each table page.
Go back and edit your chart series and edit the Action Link fields.
Action Link: Link to Custom Target
Target: Page in this Application
Page: +220+
Request: BRANCH_TO_PAGE_ACCEPT
Name--
Item 1: P53_TABLE Value: +#LABEL#+

Self password reset functionality (Apex Authentication)

Hi everyone,
I am using Apex 4.1 (can upgrade to 4.2 if any new feature helps solve my problem)
Oracle DB XE 10g
Authentication Scheme: Standard Apex Authentication
I have created a page for Resetting password of End Users which takes username in a txt box and runs the process with the code on clicking button as
APEX_UTIL.RESET_PW(:P102_USERNAME, 'Some custom message');After going through documentation (and also the message displayed on use), I found that it requires admin privileges to execute, while I want to use it for End users of application.
Is there a work around to this problem? Please help.
Thanks
Saurabh

Hi Saurabh,
another way to implement the forget password feature without seeing the standard APEX screens for this is call the standard reset form from PL/SQL and automatically SUBMIT it via the URL (so you don't have to show the form but you can use your own layout ).
The only downside I know so far is that the email cannot be formatted ( as far as I know ), but the first step for a customized reset pw feature is there :
Just call this URL :
http://<<SERVER>>:<<PORT>>/apex/f?p=4550:7::BRANCH_TO_PAGE_ACCEPT|resetpassword:NO:7:F4550_P7_EMAIL,F4550_P7_COMPANY:<MAILADRRESS>>,<<WORKSPACE>>
In a PL/SQL proc called from your reset password link this could look something like this :
declare
lv_rest_result varchar2(4000);
begin
   lv_rest_result := wwv_flow_utilities.clob_to_varchar2 (
                         apex_web_service.make_rest_request( p_url         => 'http://<<SERVER>>:<<PORT>>/apex/f?p=4550:7::BRANCH_TO_PAGE_ACCEPT|resetpassword:NO:7:F4550_P7_EMAIL,F4550_P7_COMPANY:<MAILADRRESS>>,<<WORKSPACE>>'
                                                           , p_http_method => 'GET'
end;You might have to tweak the code a bit, I've tested this a while ago and it should work but you might add some code to find the current workspace etc.

Calling PL/SQL anonymous block from href in tabular report

apex 2.2.
I've got a tabular report where I've added some img columns with a href to call diff processes
for example
"<a href="f?p=&APP_ID.:22:&APP_SESSION.:BRANCH_TO_PAGE_ACCEPT|NEW_PROXY:NO:::22,ABCDEF ><img src="/i/asyl.gif" border="0" alt="Runprocess"></a>"
When clicking on an image column in row x then I would like to run the process - no page submit.
The pl/sql anonymous block process source calls package.storedproc(p1,p2) - two in parameters
I'm struggling with the syntax and is wondering if there's a smarter way to achieve the same function
Any ideas most welcome
Thanks
Peter

&lta href="f?p=&APP_ID.:22:&APP_SESSION.:BRANCH_TO_PAGE_ACCEPT|NEW_PROXY:NO:::22,ABCDEFG" &gt&ltimg src="/i/asylogin.gif" border="0" alt="Process"&gt&lt/a&gtQuestion is how can you pass values from a row in a tabular report to the application process ?

Call to predefined Report Query for PDF download does nothing

I am trying to download a PDF report which is based upon 2 queries. Each query has a where clause with values taken from page items. I have installed OBI Publisher 11.1.1.5 and used the OBI Publisher 11.1.1.5 Word plug-in to create the RTF file that I then uploaded to the Shared Components->Report Layout.
I created a new region button to call the Report Query. However, whenever I click on the button to download the PDF, nothing happens. I have looked at the debug and the button appears to be executing OK, except that nothing happens.
The APEX to OBIP configuration is working since I am able to have OBIP generate other report PDFs that aren't using the predefined query. Stated a bit differently, reports regions that have the Print Attributes set to "Enable Report Printing=Yes" and "Report Layout=Default Report Layout" work fine. Reports based upon the predefined query and launched using a region button do not do anything.
Environment: APEX 4.1, DB 11.2.0.2, OBIP 11.1.1.5
Any help with this PDF issue is greatly appreciated.
Thanks,
Reid

Thank you again for your reply, Udo.
Here are my responses:
* As a matter of fact, I am doing a copy / paste from the predefined query to the report region source.
** What exactly do you mean by that? Don't you print the actual region?
I need to produce a PDF that is the compilation of 4-5 queries. Therefore, I cannot print a region to PDF since APEX (as far as I know) does not allow for the printing of multiple regions (1 query per region) to a single PDF file. So, I am creating a PDF that is based upon multiple queries which I predefine in the shared components -> report queries. Then, I'm creating a region button that calls a downloadable report when it is clicked.
Your question has made me realize that indeed it doesn't matter what query I have in the report region since I am calling a predefined report. When nothing was happening when I attempted to generate the PDF, I guess I started to think that the problem was with the queries on the page and so I made them match exactly with what the queries are in the shared components->report queries.
Please advise if something is wrong with my understanding here.
I checked the OBI Publisher logs (at least what I could locate) and I didn't see anything show up there.
/u02/app/ohs/obip_mw/user_projects/domains/bifoundation_domain/servers/AdminServer/logs
I checked the OHS access_log and I didn't see anything that looks like an error. I also don't see anything in the APEX page debug. It appears to process normally when the button is clicked.

Can someone explain this behavior?? (session 0 with htp.init)

Hi,
I've noticed that when you access a page using the Session 0 and that page contains an "htp.init" in a before header process, for some reason the session expires and creates a new one.
I made an example on apex.oracle.com, but first let me explain what've done exactly.
There's two pages. On page 1, I have an item named :P1_COLOR that is assigned the value of an application item :P_RED. This application item is affected in an application process before header that runs only on page 1 (the value assigned is "This is red"). I also have an item that displays the session id using this code:
return :APP_SESSION;
Then, I have a link called "page 2" in the HTML region :
a href="f?p=&APP_ID.:2:&APP_SESSION.:::::">page 2</a
Also, more importantly, on page 1 I have a process before header that sets a cookie:
begin
htp.init;
owa_util.mime_header('text/html', FALSE);
owa_cookie.send(
name    => 'MY_COLOR_COOKIE_'||:P_RED,
value   => 'test_value',
expires => SYSDATE365,+
path    => null,
domain => null                );
owa_util.mime_header('text/html', TRUE);
END;
Now if you go in the application normally without session 0, you will see the "This is red" with the session id and when you click on page 2 you will still see "This is red" with the same session ID
http://apex.oracle.com/pls/otn/f?p=60310:1::::::
But when using the Session 0, you see "This is red" with a session id, but when you click page 2, you don't see "This is red" and a new session ID is created, but the link in the address bar still contains the session 0. Also, if you press BACK and then go on page 2 again, you don't lose the :P_RED value nor the session. There seems to be a problem only the first time around.
http://apex.oracle.com/pls/otn/f?p=60310:1:0:::::
Can anyone explain me this behavior? Is it a bug? What is the work around? Because, i know that if you want to set a cookie you need "htp.init".
Note: I 've commented the cookie part of my process and only left the htp.init uncommented and had the same result, that's why I'm saying it is caused by htp.init
Thanks, reginald
Edited by: reggieh on Mar 19, 2009 7:09 AM

Yes, you might need to do something like that. The zero SID cookie is set only once: the first time the application is visited with a zero for session ID. So for email links where you use zero in the link, you could make the link target page a dummy public page (999) with BRANCH_TO_PAGE_ACCEPT in the request and the actual page you want the user to go to in the portion of the request after the pipe symbol, e.g., for page 10, the url would look like:
http://host:port:/pls/DAD/f?p=60310:999:0:BRANCH_TO_PAGE_ACCEPT|10
An after-submit process on page 999 would use :REQUEST as the page to redirect to:
owa_util.redirect_url('f?p=' || :APP_ID || ':' || :REQUEST || ':' || '0');
apex_application.g_unrecoverable_error := true;
If this works the way we're thinking, the zero sid cookie will be sent when page 999 is requested, then page 999's after-submit process would take the user to the desiired page on which your process could set the tracking cookie.

Process and Redirect Question

Hello -
Thinking back to some ASP and JSP practices, sometimes you might have a page that was purely for processing a form and then the page just redirects. I am wondering what the best way to do this in HTMLDB is.
For instance, if I have a report and I configure one of the columns of the report to be a hyperlink that reads "Process" or something. The desired functionality would be to run a process associated with this row in the report, then redirect back to the same report page. Like I said, in ASP or JSP my link might call another page which does the processing and then redirects back.
I tried to create a page with an "On Load" process and then an "On Load Redirect" following it, but it does not seem to work. Is there a cleaner way to do this in HTMLDB?
Thanks,
Dave

Dave,
We have a branch type 'Branch to Page Accept'. When you branch to a page using this type of branch, the page is not shown: only the after-submit processing is performed. Then that page's branching is performed and you end up on yet another page.
What you need is a way to do this type of branch in a URL redirect from your report link. You can do this. Such a link to page 10 would look like:
f?p=&APP_ID.:10:&SESSION.:BRANCH_TO_PAGE_ACCEPT:NO::ITEM1,ITEM2:VALUE1,VALUE2Page 10 would be 'submitted' and would do after-submit computations, validations, processes, and branching. For the case you described, you'd redirect (or directly branch) back to the report page, but you can implement n-way branching logic as well.
And there's more: because pages often use the value of the request (the button used to submit the page) to direct after-submit logic, you can pass in a request in the URL described above. To set the request to 'PROCESS', for example, the URL would be:
f?p=&APP_ID.:10:&SESSION.:BRANCH_TO_PAGE_ACCEPT|PROCESS:NO::ITEM1,ITEM2:VALUE1,VALUE2The engine sees the request as 'BRANCH_TO_PAGE_ACCEPT' and skips the 'show' processing, going directly to 'accept' processing. Then the request that your page is interested in ('PROCESS') is parsed out and passed to your page as the real request value.

Flash chart__HELP guys atleast give me some hint.

hi all,
i have created a flash chart which contains four bars-'COMPANIES' 'BUSINESS UNITS' 'VENDORS' & 'CUSTOMERS'.
The above four bars are from one table but all these bars represents four different tables also.
please tell me how to create link in such a way that when i click on each bar, each should show me a different table on different pages accordingly.

Link to a page that will branch to different pages based on a page item that is sent via the chart link.
For example:
Create Page 220 with an hidden item P220_TABLE.
On Page 220 create a branch to the page for your 'COMPANIES' table with a condition of Value of Item / Column in Expression 1 = Expression 2, Expression 1: P220_TABLE, Expression 2: COMPANIES
Create additional branches for each table page.
Go back and edit your chart series and edit the Action Link fields.
Action Link: Link to Custom Target
Target: Page in this Application
Page: +220+
Request: BRANCH_TO_PAGE_ACCEPT
Name--
Item 1: P53_TABLE Value: +#LABEL#+

Universal branch process

Hi,
I need to create an branch to function returning URL. But this branch process should be callable from entire application and every page like an application process. It should run when an special request is raised.
In other words I would like to create one branch process, but which can I call from every page at special request.
Thanks for ideas ...

Hi Martin,
Take a look at this blog post by Andrew Tulley -

You can use the concepts in that post to achieve what you want (if I understand your requirements correctly).
Hope this helps,
John.
