Building an APEX app that connects to DB2/UDB

I have NO experience with APEX but - have been browsing the documentation in considering it's use as a web application/dashboard reporting utility.
However - I'm wondering if it allows for the ability to connect to DB2 as well as Oracle...
i.e. - building a form that allows a user to 'pull' data for analysis from a DB2 instance and - generate reporting results that would then be stored in an Oracle instance.
I apologize if this has been answered - or was answered in some obvious way that I missed in the documentation.
Any help is appreciated.
Thanks

It requires the use of an Oracle database. If you want to use heterogeneous services services to communicate with an external non-Oracle database, you may be able to do it. But if you have no need for an Oracle db, and just want a dashboard solution for DB2, this is really not the product for you.
I say it requires the use of an Oracle database because it runs off of database packages written only in pl/sql, thus can't port to other databases.
In this case you'd probably want to use php or something that can connect to multiple data sources.

    If your phone is offline, the ONLY way to find it is to look for it the old fashioned way.  Your phone CANNOT be located electronically if it's offline.

    Have yu tried the standard fixes:
    - Reset the iPod:
    Press and hold the On/Off Sleep/Wake button and the Home
    button at the same time for at least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.
    Restore the iPod via iTunes,  First from backup and if problems persist, restore to factory defaults/new iPod.

  • Why do I get 'ResolveManifestFiles task failed' error when building a WPF app that references WinRT API?

    favorite
    I am working on a WPF app that I want to create for Windows 8. I followed steps mentioned in
    Hansleman's blog to make some manual modifications using WinRT functions in a WPF app. Everything worked well, until I tried to publish the app. When I clicked on publishing the app I got error "The 'ResolveManifestFiles' task failed unexpectedly.
    System.ArgumentException: Value does not fall within the expected range."
    Afterwards, it will produce the same error when attempting a simple solution build.
    Even if you create a simple WPF project and add the references mentioned in blog to access WinRT functions and publish, this issue can be reproduced.
    I think it would be common scenario to call WinRT functions from WPF and someone should have done it. Is anyone aware what should be done to fix this issue?

    I am having the same problems and came across this article while researching a workaround. 
    It is surprising more people aren’t talking about this.
    Here are the steps to reproduce the problem; Using Visual Studio Express 2012 (x64) create a new VB Windows Forms Application. 
    Unload the project and edit the [ProjName].vbproj in the solution explorer. 
    Add <TargetPlatformVersion>8.0</TargetPlatformVersion> to the <PropertyGroup>. 
    Save and reload the project.  In Add Resource/Reference Manager add the Windows.minmd found under Windows/Core. 
    This WinRT/Desktop solution will run as expected.  Now try to Publish this solution. 
    It will FAIL with the following ERROR; “The ResolveManifestFiles task failed unexpectedly, Value does not fall within the expected range.” 
    Attempting to build or run the solution again now will fail with the same Error. 
    The only way to build the project now is to remove the “Enable ClickOnce security settings” option under the project properties Security settings. 
    Occasionally using this trick, the solution will build but not run. 
    When that happens jiggle around with Debug/Release Solution Configurations and the Any CPU/x64 Solution Platforms then rebuild and try the run again. 
    This fussing around will get you through development however any attempt to publish with restore the ClickOnce security setting and create the previous Error.
    The first question here is how do you publish a WinRT app for the desktop with VS2012 Express. 
    Then secondly, if that is not possible can we publish this Express solution with a 3rd party deployment tool like InstallShield Limited Edition or the WIX Toolset. 
    Neither however seems functional in a VS Express environment. 
    Then thirdly, are there ways to access hardware sensor devices from a desktop solution without resorting to the WinRT API.
    Any ideas or new research directions would be greatly appreciated.

  • Make an app that connect to MSSQL server by single sign on

    A straightforward task. I want to create an GUI app that can connect to MSSQL 2014 express when user run it.
    Lets say a domain user name "peterpan" was grant modify right of certain database in SQL server.
    After user login Win7, then run the app. It auto log on to the SQL server and show a list of database for choose to modify.
    The problem is i cant find any info about single sign on vc++ code/library for reference.
    The app is plan to written by vc++ with MFC, ATL. Are these libraries has the method to do want i want?

    >Could you elaborate?
    Sure.  Here's the high level of 20 years of history of Microsoft data access APIs :)
    First there was ODBC, which is still the most widely-used and adopted API for data access from unmanaged code.
    Then various COM (Component Object Model) wrappers and new libraries were introduced, including ADO, DAO, and RDO which were all higher-level wrappers meant to simplify data access.  And OleDB was introduced which is a COM low-level data access API,
    similar to ODBC. 
    When .NET was introduced in 2003, it came with a new data access API, called ADO.NET which is the preferred API for .NET (or "managed") code.  The ADO.NET Provider for SQL Server (System.Data.SqlClient) is not based on ODBC or ADO.  It's
    a ground-up managed client for SQL Server.
    Later the OleDB provider for SQL Server was
    deprecated, and a new SQL Server ODBC Driver was released.  Leaving ODBC as the preferred API for unmanaged C++ development.
    See also Data Access Technologies Road Map, which is a few years old, but explains what lots of the older data access technologies were.

  • How to Build a Flex App that works with both SQLite and MySQL?

    Let me explain a bit: I am developing an app that will
    be published as an AIR application using SQLite, as well as a FLEX application that will use MyDSQL via web services.
    I want to develop both applications in such a way that all the components can be reused, and I only have to do minimal redevelopment. I have started witht the AIR application. Once I have it completed, I want to publish the application (with minimal redevelopment) as a FLEX web app.
    My thinking is that I contain the database accesses in the Application, and passing the data via interfaces to the respective modules, as well as receiving data from the modules back to the Application to be written to the database. This was the only changes between the FLEX and the AIR application will be how the database access is handled in the Application file, and I can leave all modules as is and will be able to maximize reusability,
    I haven't done this before, and was wondering what the best approach for this is?
    Thanks!

    It seems very difficult to find best practices on how to structure your database layer in FLEX. None of the books I have go into detail about it, nor do any of the websites I have found so far, including the Adobe Flex tutorials. Sure, they explain how to interact with databases, but don't seem to care about best practices for structuring your application.
    Can anyone point me in the right direction for this?
    Thanks!

  • Can i delevop and app that connects to an external device?

    0down votefavorite
    I am working on a project, where I am supposed to make a wireless connection from iOS (iPhone, iPad) to an external device, for sending and receiving some data. I would like to later publish this app on the App Store. At first I wanted to do the connection by bluetooth, but considering Apple's bluetooth MFi policy I had to reconsider this solution.
    My next idea is to use wi-fi. The iOS device would connect to the external device through a socket, probably using something like NSStream or CFStream. The external device would be configured as a wi-fi access point, with some kind of a server that stores data sent from the iOS app. The stored data would then be used by the external device to generate a signal for some mechanical actuators. The server would provide the app with data about the actuators.
    So my big question is, is this OK by the apple policy? Because if this is possible then I'll sign up for the developer program.

    Hello! First thing to check is the LaCie website to see if there's a firmware upgrade for the drive. Second is the drive formatted and HFS+ or did you use it straight out of the box. If that's the case it may be formatted FAT32 which could be the problem. Tom

  • APEX app using Oracle Text  to index pages that require authorzation

    Hi Gurus and APEX Dev team
    My team need to develop an APEX App that will index all our documents spread across various servers. Some of the documents require Single sign on access (e.g. KIX.oraclecorp.com) and some require other authorization methods (e.g. Metalink) . The Question is , Is it possible to index the pages that require authorization using Oracle text. If yes How? I have implemented the demo app which can index pages that do not require authorization.
    Thanks a million
    regards
    Bala

    Hello,
    Unless I misunderstand you, the fact that the pages require authentication doesn't really matter, it is the underlying data you want to index correct? If so then you would index them in exactly the same way that you would index any table data using Oracle Text/interMedia.

  • Does CF actually work with DB2 udb v9.1

    I have posted other messages before and received a few
    replies of documentation on how to configure CF with DB2. Each one
    has a different connection string that must be keyed in.
    i have been fooling around with this for 16 days now and i
    still can not get a connection that will work. I can access the
    data thru DB2 Version 9.1 and via the DSN system connection on the
    windows server. i can connect to the data via ASP but not cold
    fusion i have tried very connection string that has been sent to me
    plus others i have found on the net. i am not sure what any of them
    do or why i even need them, the doc does not even explain what they
    are.or what they do. Connecting to databases is usually a slam
    dunk.
    is there anyone out there that is using DB2 udb v9.1 as a DB
    working with coldfusion enterprise edition? if so did you get it to
    work or did you have to return the Coldfusion product?

    Bear in mind that CF doesn't actually talk to the DB, it
    talks to a JDBC
    driver. It sounds like you're having trouble with the JDBC
    side of
    things... it might help if you ask on a JDBC-specific forum
    or a java one,
    or something? You're more likely to get help. Once you get
    the driver
    working properly, CF will be able to talk to it. I'd be
    surprised if it
    was the CF->JDBC end of things that was amiss; it's more
    likely to be the
    JDBC->DB2 end of things.
