Can apex 4.2 be installed over Oracle XE10g DB?

Hi All,
I have to install Apex 4.2 over Oracle XE for reporting purposes. I got the APEX 4.2 downloadable from OTN. I followed the tutorial http://docs.oracle.com/cd/E23903_01/doc/doc.41/e21673/otn_install.htm#BABHHIJB. Now when i ran +@apxrtins SYSAUX SYSAUX TEMP /i/+ command and changed the admin password and tried to open the homepage of my DB and unlocked APEX_PUBLIC_USER account, it shown me that as blank. So i thought i need apex listener for this to open up. I installed apex Listener using java -jar apex.war command. Even now, i am getting a blank page over this, no error comes up over SQL PLUS for Apex Listener. I am not able to trouble shoot this .
So after doing all this a question came to my mind can apex be installed over ORACLE XE? I have read a forum where it says yes you can install but i did not find anything relevant more than that.
Please help.
Thanks in advance.

Hi Avi,
I have to install Apex 4.2 over Oracle XE for reporting purposes. I got the APEX 4.2 downloadable from OTN. I followed the tutorial http://docs.oracle.com/cd/E23903_01/doc/doc.41/e21673/otn_install.htm#BABHHIJB.
Why did you use the Installation Guide for APEX 4.1 when you are installing APEX 4.2?
Now when i ran @apxrtins SYSAUX SYSAUX TEMP /i/ command So you just want a runtime installation?
tried to open the homepage of my DB Which would that be?
Note two things:
1. The "database homepage" that ships with your XE is a special APEX application. This application will be lost as soon as you upgrade or reinstall APEX, because it has been "tailored" into the scenario XE using the APEX version that shipped with XE.
2. A runtime installation does not have the web based GUI (workspace login, application builder, etc.). It's really just the APEX runtime for deploying your applications (through a SQL interface like SQL*Plus or SQL Developer). If you want more, you need a development environment (full install).
A third aspect would be the question whether you've upgrade your APEX images to 4.2.
So after doing all this a question came to my mind can apex be installed over ORACLE XE?Yes, as documented in the [url http://docs.oracle.com/cd/E37097_01/doc/install.42/e35123/pre_require.htm#BABFCFBC]Oracle Database Requirement section of the Installation Guide for 4.2, you can install APEX 4.2 on XE databases since 10.2 XE. I can assure you from personal experience that this actually works with and without APEX Listener.
Side note: You need APEX Listener if you want to use certain features like RESTful Webservices built into APEX 4.2.

Can Apex 3.0 be installed on Oracle 9.2.0.1 on Windows ?

Can Apex 3.0 be installed on Oracle 9.2.0.1 on Windows ?

Application Express requires Oracle Database Server 9.2.0.3 or higher. The 3.0 doc erroneously says 9.2 where it should say 9.2.0.3. This has already been noted as something to be corrected.

Can Apex 4.1.1 see non-Oracle tables across dblinks using gateway?

OS: Windows7 64-bit
APEX: APEX 4.1.1
OracleXE: 11gR2
Oracle ODBC Gateway: 11gR2
Remote DB: Sybase Anywhere 10
=====================
When trying to develop an application (e.g. interactive report), APEX does not see tables from remote database even after public synoym is created in local OracleXE schema that current workspace points to?
I can with no issues -- via APEX SQL Workshop -- run SQL that accesses the remote database tables through the dblink.
Any suggestions?

Any suggestions?Create a view on top of the synonym.
Apex can work with the views. It does not work well with synonyms. But keep the synonym, since that makes your view indepentent of the name of the DB link.
So the typical recommened structure would be:
<pre>
remote database table
-> access via db link
-> synonym on remote table
-> View on Synonym
-> Apex uses View (Wizards etc.)
</pre>
If using a non oracle DB you might come across problem with certain concepts like ROWIDs. Obviously cyou can't build a form depending on a rowid, when working with a non oracle database. It should work with a normal primary/unique key however.

How can i remove jdk1.4 install in oracle unbreakable linux.

I am able to comple java program in oracle unbreakable linux but not able to run program.this is simple hello world program there is no syntax problem .I am getting error:
Exception in thread Main java.lang.class format error:unrecognised class file version and i also checked :=> #javac -version
#jdk1.6_20
#java -version
#jadk1.4 (gnu support java)
How can i unstall jdk1.4 gnu jdk/bin path and jdk 1.4 gnu java from with my system.
Regards
Prashansh Kumar

From what I understand, the problem is that your classes are compiled for a later version of Java. I'm not sure at this point that uninstalling Java 1.4 is the right solution - it may break important system functions.
I would rather try another approach first:
# alternatives --config java
-> select the java version you want as default.If you want to install java 1.6 you can try the following:
# yum install java-1.6*
or just the runtime package
# yum install java-1.6.0-openjdk
For example:
# java -version
java version "1.4.2"
# yum install java-1.6.0-openjdk
# alternatives --config java
There are 2 programs which provide 'java'.
Selection    Command
+ 1           /usr/lib/jvm/jre-1.4.2-gcj/bin/java
* 2           /usr/lib/jvm/jre-1.6.0-openjdk.x86_64/bin/java
Enter to keep the current selection[+], or type selection number: 2
# java -version
java version "1.6.0"

Can APEX be used to replace an Oracle Forms 4.5 Application?

Hi,
I have an old Oracle 4.5 application that I need to quickly rewrite since the old environment will be decommissioned real soon. It is using a 9i database that will be upgraded to 10g.
The application consist mainly of about 14 forms and it is strictly data-entry only. I was thinking about using Oracle ADF or JAVA but it seems like quite alot of wrong and APEX looks like it could save me some work.
Is there a download for the tool that I am missing. I did download the zip file apex_2.2.zip but I do not see a actual tool included. Sorry for asking this dumb question but do I need to have my DBA do something with this zip file or am I missing something.
I checked and I see some SQL scripts, do these need to be run first to setup the tool. I looked at the demo presentation online and it looks like there is a tool in browser that I can use.
Sorry for the dumb question, but thanks for the help

Hello Mario,
At the unzip location of apex_2.2.zip, you should go to the doc/install.22 directory. You'll find there a very detailed installation guide, which will tell you, and your DBA, everything you need to know about the installation and configuration actions you need to take, prior, during and post installation. This is a very important document, and you should follow it to the letter.
BTW, you don't need to install any earlier version, from any companion CD, especially if your company already using OHS/IAS, as Jes mentioned. The Apex 2.2 version in your zip file is a full version, and you can install it directely. I'm guessing Farhan meant that it can be easier for inexperienced user to use the companion cd to install both the Oracle HTTP Server and Apex, but experience DBA can install each component separately, using the versions your company own/using.
Regards,
Arie.

Oracle 8i Client install over Oracle 9i

I am trying to install Oracle 8i Client over top my Oracle 9i installation to support 8i EXP processess. It is appearing that it works (i.e. Universal Installer runs through everything like it is installing) but afterward if I run the Univ Installer to look at installed programs it is all still version 9.2 items and my migration of 8i to 9i still does not work. How do I force an overwrite?
Pretty sure I am not a P4 so that should not be the issue. Am I missing something on how to get 8i over top 9i?????
Thanks for any help,
Miller

If you want to install that software you have to do it in a different Oracle Home. If you want to export a database or part of it with the export uitility of Oracle8i client you will be able to do it without installing Oracle8i Client on Oracle9i.

Can APEX produce report output similar to "Oracle Discover report"

Hi All:
We are having some Oracle Discover reports and I like to see whether we can deliver the same report format in APEX 3.1.2.
We got a table which stores sales detailed information. The table looks like:
Division Ln Of Business Year Month Amount
================================
KA Computer 2008 12 1234.67
KA Computer 2008 11 4455
KA Desk 2008 12 9999
KE Phone 2008 12 34566.89
KE Service 2008 12 343434
We have an Oracle discover report built on top of this detail information table. The output (HTML format) looks like:
==============================================================
Net Sales Report As of <SYSDATE>
Year: 2008
Month: 09
Sales Forecast Variance
Dvision Ln of Business
KA Computer 10000 90000 -80000
Desk 20000 10000 10000
Service 30000 30000 0
KE Phone 40000 40000 0
Service 50000 60000 -10000
150000 230000 -70000 (This is summary information)
================================================================
Basically, this summary sales report is reviewed by executive team on daily basis. And it show all summary information break by division, line of business etc.
Can you APEX deliver the same report output like Oracle discover report? I don't want use interactive report format. (You can't expect company CEO to manually summary the data). The report should already summarized when ECO logins to APEX.
If you can show me an example how to do it, I would greatly appreciate.
BTW, has anyone compare the advantage and disadvantage between APEX report and Oracle Discover report? A white paper would be great for the difference.
Thanks in advance!
Kevin

You can create almost any kind of dashboard using apex but apex is not a tool comparable to discoverer. There are also some limitations where it doesn't make sense to try to solve someting using apex and where discoverer is simply better. Apex wasn't made to replace discoverer. Your requirement sounds fairly simple to me and I would say yes, apex can do that for you.

Problems Installing Designer 6.0 over Oracle 8i (Linux SUSE 8.0)

I have problems installing Designer 6.0 over Oracle 8i (Linux SUSE 8.0). When I try to create the repository the installation hang up. I try over Oracle 8i (WIndows 2000) and the problems remain.
Please any body can help?
Is it possible to install Designer 6i and generate forms 6.0 (I mean for using Developer 6.0 (NOT 6i))?
Best regards,
JAGC

Marcel,
I had the same problem. Oracle gives as an answer that Designer 6.0 is not supported against 8.1.7. In the specified package a statement is issued which is a problem for 8.1.7. I changed that package and now it works fine.
Comment as below and replace with the delete statement, then it compiles fines.
I don't know if any problem can occur after that, but a Migration from a 1.3.2 repository to 6i works fine through this repository. Hope this helps.
Kind Regards
Jan Boersma

see here:
-- Remove Reserved Names entry and comment

Can apex work without the oracle applications server? How?

My question is just what the title says.
Can apex work without the Oracle applications server?
I've heard it needs a web server to work but not necessarly the oracle applications server.
Is it true?
With ONLY apache installed can apex work on top of it?
Thanks

Hello,
Take a look at the Installation Guide which covers all the different options you have (as there are a few variations) -
http://download.oracle.com/docs/cd/E14373_01/install.32/e13366/toc.htm
but yes, in short you can have a configuration where there is no external webserver which uses the embedded PL/SQL gateway.
Hope this helps,
John.

It looks like you will not be able to use it without continually stopping and starting the guest and editing the vm.cfg file to add the physical device once it is mounted on the DOm0

I HAVE FF 3.6.21 DOES FF4 INSTALL OVER IT AND IMPORT ALL SETTINGS, BOOKMARKS, ETC AND CAN I GO BACK TO 3.6.21 IF I DON'T LIKE 4

I HAVE FF 3.6.21 Is FF4 a completely new install or does it install over the existing installation. Does it import settings, bookmarks, stored passwords, etc or do I have to add all that. Lastly, if I don't like FF4 can I go back to FF3 easily

Firefox 4 is no longer available. If upgrading, the only version that you can/should go to is Firefox 6.0.1, the current version. Firefox 7.0 is scheduled to be released on 09-27-2011 ('''''scheduled date is subject to change'''''). After Firefox 4.0, each upgrade replaces the prior version and the prior version is "abandoned" as far as security and stability updates are concerned.
Installing Firefox 6 will preserve your prior bookmarks, passwords, etc. You can/should make a backup of your personal information for safekeeping; what if you have a hard drive failure?
*See [https://support.mozilla.com/en-US/kb/Backing+up+your+information Backing up your information] '''''and''''' [http://kb.mozillazine.org/Profile_backup Profile backup]
To test the new version 6.0.1 and leave your current Firefox 3.6.21 intact, you can install Firefox Portable. Firefox Portable is not produced by Mozilla (but is based on Firefox released versions) and is not supported on this site -- has its own support forum (see below). Firefox Portable installs in a separate folder on your hard drive and keeps its profile (personal information) separate so that it does not interfere with your current Firefox installation settings or personal information (bookmarks, passwords, etc.). You can also install Firefox Portable on a USB/thumb/pin/jump drive.

How can I connect the remote server which is installed with oracle

Now my computer is in my home,in my computer there is installed with the oracle 9i client,the server is also installed with oracle 9i,which is in my company.Now I want to use sql*plus to connect the database of the server through the internet work.I have created one listener service name in my home computer,but can't test successfully and the sql*plus can't connect the database.Who can tell me how to do it?Thank you!

Technical questions need to be addressed to one of the technical forums-- Products | Database | Database - General in this case.
Unless you are VPN-ing in or the DBA's at your company have configured Oracle Connection Manager to allow you to connect through the firewall to the database, however, I doubt this will work. If they have configured Connection Manager, you'll have to ask them to provide you with connection information. 99.9% of the time, you do not want people to access a database via the internet.

Can i install/run oracle 8i in win xp

can i install/run oracle 8i in windows xp ?

yes u can install ora 8i in win xp pro
Windows XP Home Edition
Oracle 8i is not certified on windows XP. Even if yes, it must be Windows XP Professional.
You can install Oracle8i on windows XP Home Edition, try like this:
1 - Copy your Oracle CD into hard disk in your
machine. For example Copy from oracle8i CD into C:\Oracle\ ...
2 - Search the two files named Symcjit.dll on the D drive (where you have copied Oracle8i. You can found them in (example):
C:\Oracle\stage\Components\oracle.swd.jre\1.1.7.30\1
\DataFiles\Expanded\jre\win32\bin\symcjit.dll
3 - Rename this file (Example): symcjit_back.dll (make sure to find two files and rename them)
4 - Execute the Oracle setup.exe from C:\Oracle\setup.exe
=================================================================
When Oracle 8i dies on the install or the installer hangs, here is the fix for this, make sure that you have Service Pack 2 installed.
1. \JRE\1.3.1\ From Sun. (You can download java program at http://java.sun.com/products/jdk/1.1/jre/download-jre-windows.html)
2. Install the java file.
There is also a problem in the installation disk.
3. Make a copy of the Oracle 8i disk on the local hard disk.
4. Do a search for the two files called symcjit.dll and rename them for example: symcjit.old.
5. Install Oracle from the win32 directory.

Can I use APEX directly read/sync with the Oracle Tables ?

We have a Oracle Database to manage the design data.I am trying to setup a web-based front end using APEX to manage & monitor the parts ordering & logisitics.I want to drive the master data directly from the database without any export or data transfer ? Can I directly read or Link an Oracle tables from APEX application.
Also,once this is setup,I am looking for setting up some data entry fields to enter Purchasing & Logistics information.Hope I can achieve this using APEX !
Look forward for the appropriate response.
Thanks,
Sham

Tony,
Thanks & Appreciate your Quick response.
Glad that I can use the existing Oracle db schema with APEX.I am not sure if there is any information as how I can connect or link my production schema to the APEX ! I was able to import .csv files & use XL data to create some test databases & play with APEX..but,I did try to go thru most of the instructions & guides to find how to use the production oracle tables,but,could not find anything particular...Please send me a link or material info.
I suppose I can then use which ever attribute or table data that is required to build the queries ! I am planning to use the production data to build the ordering & logistics application using APEX.Assume I can create new fields & columns for parts that will be ordered & capture/record the purchasing information like Purchase order numbers/Supplier Info/Target Delivery dates etc...
- Am on very tight schedules to get this application up & running ! Is there any support team or a technical support team that I can call upon if I need any help ?
Thanks,
Sham
