Calling packaged procedure from a URL link

I have created a custom APEX application the will allow us to dynamically build help screens for the pages we create with APEX.
In doing this I have created a procedure within a package called "comi_help_util.show_help".
This procedure uses the "htp.p" standard procedure to create a dynamic web page from data stored inside my help tables.
I want to place a "Help" link in the Navigation Bar which will call the custom procedure, pass the APP_ID and APP_PAGE_ID and popup in a new window.
I tried doing something like the Help link in APEX.
javascript:popupURL('comi_help_util.show_help?p_application_id=&APP_ID.&p_page_id=&APP_PAGE_ID.');
Unfortunately, I get "HTTP 404 - Web page cannot be found" error.
I know I could probably call a page within my APEX application from my custom Help link which would then call my custom procedure.
However, this means I would have to put a page within every application I want to use this on.
I believe the call to the procedure directly would be cleaner and easier to implement, if I can get this working on my first app.
I have never called a procedure thru a URL link or the javascript:popupURL and, try as I might, cannot search for the right keywords in the APEX forum or the Web.
Any help would be appreciated.
THANKS
Raymond

Hi Scott,
>> Time for new glasses ...
You are probably right, but regardless, I was referring to Raymond’s first post (and I should have made it clear). I noted that I believe your JavaScript statement is correct, I just can’t see the difference between it and the OP first statement, where, as far as I can see, he also used question mark (?) to mark parameters, and ampersand (&) to concatenate them. Still he received a 404 error. What am I missing there?
Thanks,
Arie.
Please remember to mark appropriate posts as correct/helpful. For the long run, it will benefit us all.

Calling a procedure from a dynamic link

I have the following situation-
I have a report created using SQL Query.
I need to call a Stored Procedure(move_to_portal) through a link from one of the fields in the report (Exec_id field of the report).
How can I do this?
The links do not allow me to choose a stored procedure as the Target component....so maybe I have to create a dynamic link.
How to do this? Any help would be appreciated.

I have just another question-
I have a procedure testing_del_archive which is being called with 2 parameters...from a dynamic link in my SQL Query.
The following is my code....
SELECT re.report_exec_id, re.exec_userid,
NVL(re.batch_exec_date, re.begin_date) report_date,
re.rows_returned,
re.status, re.error,
f_file_url(re.filename) file_url,
re.comments,
''Archive''archive
FROM metadev.report_execution re, metadev.report r
WHERE re.report_id = r.report_id
AND r.spec_number = :v_spec
AND re.status <> 'DELETED'
AND re.exec_userid like (DECODE(:v_user_filter,'ALL','%',:v_user_filter))
ORDER BY begin_date DESC
The first parameter is the value in the execution id field and the second argument is hardcoded "Archived"...
IT GIVES AN ERROR....
Do you guys know where I am going wrong...

Calling packaged procedure from a function

Hi all,
I am using Oracle database 10.2.0
I have a packaged procedure , there are two IN parameters(Varchar, Date) and an OUT parameter(REF CURSOR). The out parameter sends a result set from a query(multiple records of a table). I was asked to create a function which can use this procedure and returns the same resultset. Can u please suggest how to proceed?
Thanks & Regards,
Naveen.

Is it something like this you're after:
SQL> create or replace function test_f (p_In1 in number, p_In2 in varchar2) return sys_refcursor as
2    r sys_refcursor;
3    begin
4      open r for 'select ' || to_char(p_In1) || ',''' || p_In2 || ''' from dual';
5      return r;
6 end test_f;
7 /
Function created.
SQL> declare
2    r sys_refcursor;
3
4    l_no number;
5    l_Greet varchar2(30);
6 begin
7    r := test_f(1, 'Hello');
8
9    fetch r into l_no, l_Greet;
10    if (r%found) then
11      dbms_output.put_line(l_No || ' ' || l_Greet);
12    end if;
13
14    close r;
15
16    exception
17      when others then
18        dbms_output.put_line('Err ' || sqlerrm);
19        if (r%isopen) then

Question about calling a procedure from a URL

Hi
In an Apex 3.0 application (which is not public) I use a procedure call in a URL to download the person's photo, if any. The call looks like this:
{img src=#OWNER#.download_photo?p_id=&P10_ID.}
This works fine. However, I found out that I can run that procedure just typing that URL in a web browser, without the need to be logged in to any application!
This seems to me like a flaw in my procedure and I think I am missing something. In a way it makes sense, as there is not any reference in the URL to the application.
How can I make this procedure to run only if I am logged in the application it is supposed to be run from?
Thanks
Luis

Luis,
There is a section (Security Issues to Consider) in the file upload/download how-to that describes how to handle this. Also, Anton Nielsen describes a technique linked to from Re: About file .

How to call a procedure from url

hello,
I'd like to call a procedure from the url. 
I've tryed several ways to call that procedure, but none of it worked. 
so can someone please tell me the correct syntax of such a call? 
thanks in advance.

Hi ,
I have implemented this in one of my apps in the following way:
- Created a database procedure (called download_file that accepts a parameter). This procedure opens a document stored in the database.
- In a report region, in the Column Link attributes, I set the Link Text to "Download", set Target to "URL" and set URL to "#OWNER#.download_file?p_file=#MYFIELD#"
Hope this helps.

Calling a stored procedure from a url

I am needing to call a stored procedure from a url string (or
anchor) understand that from training to be as follows:
http://host:port/pls/dad/package.procedure?query_string
With that in mind, I am getting an error as follows:
Not Found
The requested URL /pls/portal30/at_hrfm.checkshow.showcheck was
not found on this server.
Here is a sample of my url
http://servername:port/pls/portal30/at_hrfm.checkshow.showcheck
I can see servername:port/pls/portal30, it is just the
procedure I am having a problem with.
Here is a sample of my source code that is created under the
at_hrfm schema (I also tried under portal30 schema).
package body checkshow as
procedure showcheck as
begin
htp.htmlOpen;
htp.headOpen;
htp.title('My Check');
htp.comment ('This should be your Check');
htp.bodyOpen;
htp.header (1,'Check');
htp.print ('checkdate');
htp.bodyClose;
htp.headClose;
htp.htmlClose;
end;
end;

I think I figured this out. I don't think the grant to ANONYMOUS is going to work with production XE and the online documentation is in need of an update. It appears that production XE has been locked down and you will need to specify the name of each stored procedure you wish to allow to be executed by adding it to the WWV_FLOW_EPG_INCLUDE_MOD_LOCAL function. This is spelled out in more technical detail here: http://download.oracle.com/docs/cd/B25329_01/doc/appdev.102/b25309/adm_wrkspc.htm#BEJCGJFJ
Another alternative that would work involves creating a separate DAD. Using the DAD approach with my schema made all of my stored procedures callable from a web browser, so I rejected this approach. To make this usable (secure) I would have needed to create and maintain a separate database user for the DAD and then only granted it execute for the stored procedures I wanted to be callable from a URL.
Finally I read about using an on-demand procedure and having it invoke the desired stored procedure. While I didn't try this out, it sounds like another good approach because it maintains session security. If it can be used to return an image I do not know.

Calling a Procedure from a Button? (REVISITED)

Hi All,
I once asked a question Re: Calling a Procedure from a Button? & that problem was resolved when i was working on the online ApEx.
On my application, requirements have changed a bit: I have one form based on two tables. One table contributes two fields (name & surname) to the form while the remaining fields are contributed by another table to make a total of 17 fields on the form.
My process is in such a way that a user enters an id number & clicks Search button, if the apllicant exists then both name & surname corresponding with the id number will be retrieved from the database. If the applicant does not exist then an error message will be displayed inline with the id number field. Here's the PL/SQL anonymous block to that:
DECLARE
vNAME APPLICANTS.name%TYPE;
vSURNAME APPLICANTS.surname%TYPE;
BEGIN
SELECT count(*)
INTO :P2_COUNT
FROM applicants
WHERE id_number = :P2_ID_NUMBER;
IF :P2_COUNT > 0 THEN
SELECT name,surname
INTO vNAME, vSURNAME
FROM applicants
WHERE id_number = :P2_ID_NUMBER;
:P2_NAME := vNAME;
:P2_SURNAME := vSURNAME;
ELSE
apex_application.g_print_success_message := 'Applicant does not exist.';
END IF;
EXCEPTION WHEN NO_DATA_FOUND THEN
apex_application.g_print_success_message := 'Exception Caught.';
END;The PL/SQL block works except for error displaying part (but that's a problem for another day).
NB: On my application, there’s already Automated Row Fetch & Automatic Row Processing (DML) processes for one table. Furthermore, there is also a javascript for verifying the validity of an id number. As a result, I decided to include Automated Row Fetch & Automatic Row Processing (DML) processes for the other table. When I click a Search button the javascript is activated even though I did not specify a URL target for the button - because this is a simple button among region items – it does not have Optional Url Redirect section.
I'm not sure what I'm doing wrong here - any help is appreciated.
Regards
Kamo

Hi Dan,
Sorry for causing confusion with my post - it's just that I was asking the same question (with different constraints) as I had asked before so I didn't feel like going to details was necessary because in my post I included a link to the previous thread. Interestingly, I was working on apex.oracle.com when I posted the original thread - the only problem came to be when I started to move the solution to my application on my machine.
Anyway, thanks for the response!

Securely calling stored procedure with APEX URL

I have a web server that needs to call a stored procedure on an Oracle database (v10.2.0.4.0-64bit), and to do so without storing schema credentials on the web server it has been recommended to call the procedure using a URL to APEX, and granting execute privileges on the package storing the procedure to APEX_PUBLIC_USER. However, this allows anyone on the network to call the procedure if they have the URL. Is there any way to make sure that either Apex or the procedure only responds directly to requests from the web server?

Nick,
Assuming you are talking about application server ( not web server ).
It is common practice to create new user on Oracle database (often called proxy user, so you don't have to use schema credentials). Grant this user privileges to call package you need. Then on application server store encrypted credentials for this new user.
Application (java or .net) then connects to Oracle using new user credentials and executes packaged procedure.
Using Apex is the same. You need to have Authentication enabled (hence to store user id and password). If not, it is not secure.
Making any application (including Apex) to respond to request from specific IP is possible by inspecting ip from request header (Apex : UTL_HTTP.GET_HEADER ).
There are problems however:
1.If connection is made by proxy, request ip can change.
2.Hackers can use "ip spoofing" to emulate request from permitted server.
Another option would be to set up proxy server rules, permitting traffic between selected servers only.

Calling a procedure from a portel report

I have a report which is returning rows from a dblink, this works fine. I want to select an individual row from the report and write a new record to a diffent table using some of the columns from the row selected. The table I am writting to will be held within the portal db.
Idea...
Is it possible to call a procedure using the link application wizard (html link), if I could call a procedure via the html link and pass parameters from the record selected then I could write some pl/sql to insert a row in my other table, is this possible ?,if so how do I do it ?
Any other ideas would be most welcome.
Thanks in anticiptaion.

The javascript function - you copied it completely, including all my beautiful images - calls an Application Process : toggleAvail.
And I guess you didn't define that one.
You created a stored procedure instead (with another name?), but with an AJAX call you can (only) call Application Processes....(which can call stored procedures...).
(Je mag me ook direct mailen/bellen als dat sneller is...).

Calling a procedure from Javascript

Hello
I have created a procedure with two input paprameters.
I have gratted access to public ... and all works well
I would now like to call this from a Javascript where I supply the input paameters. The procedure has a redirect to another URL so there is no output
Currently I used "window.location" with the prodcedure URL ... I must beable to call the produced directly?
Thanks for taking the time to look at this request
Regards
Pete

Calling a procedure from Calculation View with Debug function

Is it possible to call a debuggable hana procedure in a calculation view?
I just saw the video HANA Academy - HANA Native Development Workshop: SQL Script Editor - YouTube for HANA Native Development workshop and got the debug functionality to work for a file Procedure.
But I am unable to call this procedure from a Calculation View.
Below is the code I am using for the SQLScript Calculation View. Can someone tell me if this is correct?
/********* Begin Procedure Script ************/
BEGIN
call "_SYS_BIC"."test-package.RF.SalesOrders.procedures/get_sls_ordtype"(SalesDocNo => '0070004105', SalesDocTypes => ?) ;
var_out = CE_PROJECTION(:SalesDocTypes, ["SALESDOCNO" , "SALESDOCTYPE", "ORDVALUE"] );
END /********* End Procedure Script ************/

Hello,
Just provide the out parameter in the call:
Declare
amount number; -- OUT number argument populated by the procedure
Begin
-- call the X procedure --
x( amount ) ;
End;Francois

Calling stored procedure from EJB in JSever

I have some trouble to call stored procedure from EJB deployed to JServer on Oracle8i (815).
I have been able to sucessfully test the stored procedure using thin client JDBC driver. But when I user the default connection in JServer, the stored procedure never got called. Is there any restriction of EJB in JServer?
Thanks

Thanks man! that was a great help. looks like i am almost there. i created those items t obe hidden.
now i am passing three parameters to the procedure. my url for that column value looks like this,
javascript:P65_PARTITION_ID=#PARTITION_ID#;P65_DBC=#DBC#;P65_FILE_ID=#FILE_ID#;doSubmit('Sku_Save');
the #DBC# parameter is a name of the person that has spaces(firstname lastname). i am getting a javascript error saying,
Line: 1
Char: 37
Error:Expected ';'
i see that char 37 is the space after firstname.
any idea how i should get rid of this error.
Also, as you have been very helpful, a question further beyond :). the above procedure will return a OUT varchar parameter. i guess i have to create another item for that. how do i read it and display just below my report as text.
Thanks Again!
