Can I use PERL in APEX

Hi All
can i use PERL language in APEX? is it gud practice to use PERL in APEX?
Thanxs

You can use PERL, in so much that you can forward on the user to a PERL application and have that PERL application take in the session + cookie and check it for validity in Oracle, but as far as interactivity between PERL and APEX, it would be either on the level of Web Services style access (one calling the other through web services type Http calls) or possibly running PERL code at system level with something like dbms_scheduler, were it to be for a background database task of some sort.
My question would be what exactly do you need to do in PERL w/ APEX?

Can I use css3 in apex 4...database 11g xeIn APEX all presentational aspects of an application (including font size) are controlled using a combination of (X)HTML and CSS via themes and templates. You need to have an understanding of these web technologies to make best use of APEX. If you're not familiar with them you're advised to get at least a basic understanding by spending some time on the tutorials here: start with HTML, then XHTML, CSS, Javascript and the HTML DOM.
CSS3 features can certainly be used in your APEX themes and applications. Any problems are not likely to arise there, but in whether these features are supported by the browsers/versions used when running them. These sites may be useful in determining whether it's worthwhile for you to use CSS3 to implement a particular feature:
http://www.impressivewebs.com/css3-browser-support/
http://caniuse.com/
Using progressive enhancement techniques will allow you to introduce CSS3 features for browsers that do support them while still making applications accessible in those that don't.

Can I use Perl with Flex?

I would like to run several Perl scripts from Flex. Following the only example I found online, I have the files/code listed below. The problem is, when I test locally, I get nothing as the message. When I upload to my server, I also get nothing as the message. Perl seems to be installed properly on the server. Other scripts in the directory run fine. Also, the Perl script below runs fine when I run it through command line. So... I'm very confused as to if this can even be done.

ActiveX - can I use them in Apex?

Hi,
I have a very simple question: Is there any possibility to use ActiveX controls in OAE? I want to use one on page.
Thanks,
Tom

Tom,
Exactly the same way you would embed it in any HTML page, the problem isn't specific to application express.
The documentation you have (or hopefully have) should tell you how it should be embedded in an HTML page. You can then place that code into an HTML region in Application Express, or you could output the code to embed it dynamically in a PL/SQL region (for example).
There are many many options, without knowing specifically what you're trying to achive, what the ActiveX control is/does etc, it's very difficult to give you a concise answer.

Sergio - You're right, that doesn't work but why bother protecting that item? It's sort of an indirect link and the real protection you need is on the other items that might be set in the link. So I would just keep that item Unrestricted and move on.

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

Can I use APEX Packaged applications for commercial purposes

Hi,
When you download and Install APEX, it comes with pre build packaged applications. Can I use it to make money?
I understand that I will not be able to get any support for Oracle and all that. But using Database XE with APEX, can I start shipping these applications and make money lawfully without violating Oracle's terms?
Please advise.

Can I use Oracle Report Server to print from APEX? How?

Hello, we have Oracle Application server, Oracle Report server and now we just installed APEX and doing a pilot project. Since we don't have BI Publisher, how can we use our Oracle Report server to print from apex report? Can it be done and if yes where can I get some detail info that I can share with our DBA?
I have in past asked questions about the printing issues but I have been refered to http://www.oracle.com/technology/products/database/application_express/html/configure_printing.html#01 section 5 which talks about another installation.
Thanks so very much for any info.
-iahmadi

You can use FOP, but the formatting of the xsl (Xml Style Sheets) takes a little work. If you have the Oracle Reports server up and access to the development product, why not go that route?
You want the filtering and sorting and searching, yes, but then you also want to print them out.. Then you would probably be best looking at replacing the Oracle Reports setup with BI Publisher. You can convert Most your reports over to bi publisher layouts easily.. (I have heard of some reports that do require recreating in Bi Publisher from Oracle Reports..)
Then you can have your Apex Reports and call Bi Publisher from APEX and everyone wins..
Is your Oracle Reports stuff used by non-APEX applications, that could be modified to use Bi Publisher?
Thank you,

Can I use Oracle APEX with MySQL Database

Hi All,
We are looking to create a performance dashboard using Oracle APEX for our client, but the application database is MySQL. Is it possible to create reports in APEX using data from MySQL database? If yes, are there any specific steps to be followed or any additional setups needed?
Any inputs would be really helpful.
Appreciate all the help
Thanks,
Sameer

Hi Sameer,
it's not possible to use apex on mysql, as stated above me by several persons.
If you havent got any oracle database in your organization, apex would be an expensive choise unless you use the free Oracle XE (express edition), which has APEX embedded.
There are some limitations to XE but with a bit of smart thinking it wouldnt be much of a problem.
[check the XE information here|http://download.oracle.com/docs/cd/B25329_01/doc/install.102/b25143/toc.htm#BABIECJA]
In short:
- XE will use 1 CPU even if you have two or more in your system
- There is a 4 GB data limit
- RAM memory usage is limited to 1 GB
- 1 installation per computer
You can use XE as a reporting database. This will relieve your mysql database from heavy reporting processes, too.
The XE can be used as a mini data warehouse. So you have to transfer and transform the relevant data from mysql to your XE instance.
After that you can start building report screens etc in the embedded Apex .
hope this helps you

Can I use my APEX application without APEX?

Can I use my APEX application without APEX?
Kostya

Hi Kostya,
Any chance you can elaborate a bit more on what you are trying to do? By definition, you cannot run an APEX application, outside of APEX, but it is only HTML and Javascript at the end of the day, with some clever logic behind it. No reason why you couldn't create your own HTML pages that perform similar tasks.
Hope this helps,

Use of the Apex API in pl/sql procedures.

Hi,
I have a page with a form region with fields working as filter for an interactive report. This report is conditionally showed when the user clicks on the filter button. It was working with the field :REQUEST, but in this way IR functions like download, filter, format... doesn't work, I've seen that it's a bug. A workaround is using a field instead :REQUEST to conditionally show the IR region. I want to create and manage this field with a proccess, here is the code.
DECLARE
L_INPUT BOOLEAN;
L_VAL   VARCHAR2(32);
L_NAME VARCHAR2(32);
BEGIN
IF :REQUEST = 'FILTER' THEN
    L_VAL := 'FILTER';
ELSE
    L_VAL := '';
END IF;
L_NAME := :APP_PAGE_ID || '_PROCESS';
L_INPUT := APEX_CUSTOM_AUTH.APPLICATION_PAGE_ITEM_EXISTS(L_NAME);
IF L_VAL = 'FILTER' THEN
    IF L_INPUT THEN
      APEX_UTIL.SET_SESSION_STATE(L_NAME, L_VAL);
    ELSE
      APEX_ITEM.HIDDEN(1, L_VAL, 'readonly', L_NAME);
    END IF;
ELSE
    IF L_INPUT THEN
      APEX_UTIL.SET_SESSION_STATE(L_NAME, L_VAL);
    ELSE
      APEX_ITEM.HIDDEN(1, L_VAL, 'readonly', L_NAME);
    END IF;
END IF;
END;But this code produces the following error:
ORA-06550: line 20, column 7: PLS-00221: 'HIDDEN' is not a procedure or is undefined ORA-06550: line 20, column 7: PL/SQL: Statement ignored ORA-06550: line 26, column 7: PLS-00221: 'HIDDEN' is not a procedure or is undefined ORA-06550: line 26, column 7: PL/SQL: Statement ignored
I'm using Apex 4.1.2. What it's wrong? I can't use APEX_ITEM package in this way?

What are you trying to do?? I guess you have to use APEX_IR http://docs.oracle.com/cd/E37097_01/doc/doc.42/e35127/apex_ir.htm
APEX_ITEM.HIDDEN is not a procedure and is a function that returns HTML for hidden item.

Values having html tags not getting populated while using AJAX in APEX

Hi,
I am using AJAX to populate certain values in a tabular report.
I have a java script of this form (I have taken this example from Denes's example http://apex.oracle.com/pls/otn/f?p=31517:241:1400877312570049)
<script language="JavaScript" type="text/javascript">
function f_set_multi_items_tabular(pValue, pRow){
var get = new htmldb_Get(null,html_GetElement('pFlowId').value,
'APPLICATION_PROCESS=Set_Multi_Items_Tabular',0);
if(pValue){
get.add('TEMPORARY_APPLICATION_ITEM',pValue)
get.add('T_ROWNUM',pRow)
}else{
get.add('TEMPORARY_APPLICATION_ITEM','null')
gReturn = get.get('XML');
if(gReturn){
var l_Count = gReturn.getElementsByTagName("item").length;
for(var i = 0;i<l_Count;i++){
var l_Opt_Xml = gReturn.getElementsByTagName("item");
var l_ID = l_Opt_Xml.getAttribute('id');
var l_El = html_GetElement(l_ID);
if(l_Opt_Xml.firstChild){
var l_Value = l_Opt_Xml.firstChild.nodeValue;
}else{
var l_Value = '';
if(l_El){
if(l_El.tagName == 'INPUT'){
l_El.value = l_Value;
}else if(l_El.tagName == 'SPAN' && l_El.className == 'grabber'){
l_El.parentNode.innerHTML = l_Value;
l_El.parentNode.id = l_ID;
}else{
l_El.innerHTML = l_Value;
get = null;
</script>
And I have the application process as follows
BEGIN
OWA_UTIL.mime_header ('text/xml', FALSE);
HTP.p ('Cache-Control: no-cache');
HTP.p ('Pragma: no-cache');
OWA_UTIL.http_header_close;
HTP.prn ('<body>');
HTP.prn ('<desc>this xml genericly sets multiple items</desc>');
HTP.prn ('<item id="f05_000' || :T_ROWNUM || '">' || :TEMPORARY_APPLICATION_ITEM || '</item>');
HTP.prn ('</body>');
END;
If I have :TEMPORARY_APPLICATION_ITEM as 'Vikas' it gets displayed properly but if I have '<b>Vikas<b>' it shows null. if it has any HTML tags function l_Opt_Xml.firstChild.nodeValue is not working properly .Please tell me what modiifcation can I use in function l_Opt_Xml.firstChild.nodeValue to get Values with HTML tags also to get displayed.
Thanks,

How can I use XMLBeans in a Web Services client?

How can I use XMLBeans in a standalone Java client with a Web Service?
I posted the message below earlier in the year, but have not yet been successful
in my
attempts.
regards
Eddie
Hi,
I'm trying to using XMLBeans to send a document to a web service from a standalone
Java client. I'm using the PurchaseOrder (easypo) example document, and the service
expects a parameter of type PurchaseOrderDocument. The client proxy class generated
by WebLogic Workshop, however, expects to send a parameter of type PurchaseOrder.
In the client, I can instantiate a PurchaseOrderDocument, and then obtain a PurchaseOrder
(e.g. pod.getPurchaseOrder() ), but the returned class is not compatible with
the PurchaseOrder type that the client proxy expects.
In a previous attempt (not using Workshop), the client would not compile because
it expected to send a non-abstract class with a public default constructor (presumably
a JAX-RPC requirement), and XMLBeans had generated an interface.
Any help would be greatly appreciated!
thanks & regards
Eddie

I have been experiencing similar problems with the HTML Editor and have managed to find an answer that should start to answer some of my questions. The Apex HTML Editor Standard is actually an HTML editor called FCKeditor. The FCKeditor has a Javascript API that can be found at http://docs.fckeditor.net/FCKeditor_2.x/Developers_Guide/JavaScript_API. Unfortuately this doesn't seem to give the whole answer and I found more at http://www.houseoffusion.com/groups/cf-talk/thread.cfm/threadid:49607.
I needed to get the text entered within my html editor standard (e.g. P1_MYTEXT) and use it within my javascript function. I did this by using the following script
<script language="JavaScript" type="text/javascript">
function showtext(){
var oEditor = FCKeditorAPI.GetInstance('P1_MYTEXT');
var editortext = escape(oEditor.GetXHTML(oEditor.FormatOutput));
alert(editortext);
</script>
Hope this helps.
