Changing theme template in my APEX applications by scripts

Hello every body,
I wonder if there any issue to change my APEX applications themes by script ?
Best Regards

Anton,
1) When you export your application 100 from within Application Express from your old instance and you compare it to the one generated, are there any significant differences?
2) Can you export your application 100 from within Application Express from your old instance and import it back into the same (old) instance but with a different application identifier?

Could not able to login into APEX Application

Hi All,
Finally with the help of Jes and Anthony, I am bale to see Apex login page and Apex Admin login page.
But there are some issues in that, images are not properly displayed and also i could not able to login to admin page and even apex login page...It is showing some Javascript errors.
How shall I resolve them and work on APEX Application.
Thanks & Regards
Vishwanath GNV

Vishwanath,
Is this linked to one of your other posts? If it is a related problem then please try and keep it in one thread because it makes it much much easier for people to follow the flow of 'conversation'. By starting a new thread it makes it difficult to see what has already been tried etc.
Ok...so images and javascript are not working...so the obvious questions are -
1) Did you copy across all the Javascript, images etc as directed in the installation/upgrade guide?
2) Have you tried clearing your browser cache?

Drop APEX Application via plsql

What sql command do i have to run if i wanna drop an apex application via script?

There is no SQL command to do that (yet). Did you need to do this as a special case by a very privileged user or did you need something that any developer who has access to an application's parsing schema could do?

Change default template for a given Theme

Can we change the default template for a theme ? (if yes, how). I had selected theme 3 (business) during the creation of my application with 2 level tabs. After creating parent tabs and standard tabs and getting it working I changed the theme to theme 12 (blue). When the theme got switched, the default application page template became a 1 level tab.
This was because for Theme 12, the default Page template is 1 level tab. I want to change this default Page template to 2 level tabs. I couldn't see option of making this as a default.

Sorry, I found the answer in the documentation in Chapter 7 under
"Changing Default Templates in a Theme".

Is it legal to create packaged APEX applications and sell them?

Is it legal to create packaged APEX applications and sell them to Oracle DB licensed clients?
A.

No licensing applies to any environment where you have a live database. The exception is that you can try a product without license, but as soon as development of a product of developing/testing of an in-house solution is done, you need to be licensed. Being a partner changes this slightly assuming all parties involved are partners (one sigle tester from the outside shifts it back to full license mode).
Another situation where license is not needed is to use XE for which no license is required.
Yet one more way to have al low cost is to use Amazon AWS to set up an image with an included license. The cost per hour is really low so it may be a good model to not have to pay everything upfront.
You can also reduce license cost by using named user licensing in development assuming there are few people who ned to access the database. Though there are minimums of number of named user licenses you can have depending on edition of the database.
Overall, knowing your licensing requirements is key. The defense "We didn't know" has been tried before and has not proven to help at all. The cost of an audit will often be a CLM for the person responsible to pay the licenses.

How does changing a template or theme on a live website work ..

well i have a task at hand ... to develope a website that has this feature of changing themes or templates ... can anyone help me with this ....

Hi Adam,
No, there is nothing like variables get picked on file save or at intervals. The issue looks odd, but I could not reproduce it. Could it be happening in any specific context? Or does it happen in a blank file with only those 2 lines also?
Thanks,

How to deploy APEX Application Changes

Dear All,
I have gone thru Oracle Application Deployment document and didn't find any guidance to upgrade the existing application with changes.
This is my requirement.
01. Application is already deployed to production environment
02. Some changes has been done for few pages and database backbends.
03. Need to build a script to apply these changes to production application without installing new application to it. So script will use existing application and apply the changes.
04. Ones after application is upgraded, users will use same old URL to access it. NO changes to URL or application ID.
05. We use Application alias to access the app. So if we import same app again to production environemt then second application will conflict with the existing application alias.
* Only few pages and database backbends been modified. Scripts for database changes are available.

Hi,
I found the solution.
01. Go to Install screen
02. When ask to choose new application ID (Install As Application), choose "Change Application ID" option
03. Then it will show a text box to enter application Id and enter the already installed application ID.
04. Click "Install"
05. It will show confirmation message "You have requested that the existing application <already exists application id shows here> be removed and replaced by the application to be installed. Please confirm this request"
at this time press "Replace Existing Application"
Thanks

[SOLVED] Adding layouts and changing them per application

Hi
I have just installed openbox not a long ago, and I was wondering,
how can I add another keyboard layout? (Hebrew for example)
I heard that I can do it through xorg.conf, but then, changing layouts
will be globaly and not per application.
How can I add another layout to my openbox and change layout with
alt+shift per application?
Thanks

Problem solved thanks to DHeart!
I created /etc/hal/fdi/10-keymap.fdi:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="ISO-8859-1"?> 
<deviceinfo version="0.2">
<device>
<match key="info.capabilities" contains="input.keymap">
<append key="info.callouts.add" type="strlist">hal-setup-keymap</append>
</match>
<match key="info.capabilities" contains="input.keys">
<merge key="input.xkb.rules" type="string">base</merge>

<merge key="input.xkb.model" type="string">keyboard</merge>
<match key="/org/freedesktop/Hal/devices/computer:system.kernel.name"
string="Linux">
<merge key="input.xkb.model" type="string">evdev</merge>
</match>
<merge key="input.xkb.layout" type="string">us,il</merge>
<merge key="input.xkb.model" type="string">pc105</merge>
<merge key="input.xkb.Options" type="string">grp:ctrl_shift_toggle</merge>
</match>
</device>
</deviceinfo>
I installed xxkb, and added "exec xxkb &" to my openbox's autostart script.
And it works almost perfect!

Problem in Themes after Migrating from APEX 4.0 to 4.2

Dear Friends,
Recently we migrated from APEX 4.0 to 4.2. There were no errors during migration. But after migration we observed that any application with Simple Red (Theme No.1) and Scarlet (Theme 21) stopped working properly. i.e. Template button Red will not perform any task. Even changed the template of the button doesn't work.
Can any one suggest steps to solve the problem?
Thanks in Advance.

Public themes (templates)

Hi,
APEX version: 4.2.0.00.27
I'm trying to
create a theme/application template that can be used for all our future
application development across workspaces. I have successfully created an
application template which is available from all workspaces that are
subscribing the templates from my “Design Application”.
My problem is that
I would like to be able to “publish” all changes on a template to all
applications that are using this specific template. For that I have created a “design”
application in my main workspace named “APPS”.
Application: Design Template
Application ID: 150
Workspace: APPS
Description: Main application for design purposes. The application has been
created in order to be able to subscribe the template from my Application
Template application.
The source for my application template also resides in the workspace “APPS”.
Application: Application Template
Application ID: 151
Workspace : APPS
Description : Application used to create an Application Template, which
will be used when creating a new application.
The templates in my application “Application Template”, are subscribers to the templates in my
application “Design Template”.
I have then created a new application in the workspace APPS based on the application template “Application
Template”.
Application: Lunch Break Application
Application ID: 152
Workspace: APPS
Description: Application to register lunch breaks.
When I update a template in my application “Design Template”; I can publish the changes which
are visible in my application “Lunch Break Application” which is great!
My problem is that when I change workspace to example IT_APPS and created a new application based
on my template application (“Application Template”), the subscribtions are not
registered. I cannot create the subscribtions because my application “Design
Template” resides in another workspace.
Application: IT Systems Application
Application ID: 153
Workspace: IT_APPS
Description: Application to register IT systems used.
Can anyone please suggest how I can get around this?
Am I doing the whole templating thing all wrong?
Thank you very much in advance.
Best regards
Kenneth

No, you're doing it absolutely correctly. By design, APEX does not permit subscriptions (or any other sharing of information) across workspaces. See for example these posts from late APEX team member Scott Spadafore:
Re: share authentication between apps
Re: Workspace Guidance
Can anyone please suggest how I can get around this?
This is not likely to change in the immediate future, per Christian's comments in Re: APEX_UTIL.PREPARE_URL does not work across workspaces?
To achieve "subscription" across workspaces you'd need synchronize your Design Template and Application Template apps outside of APEX by exporting and importing using SQL*Plus and the apex_application_install API.

Region Header Background Color different to the theme template

Hello,
for my apex application i configured the theme Blue Gray - 13.
I want that my application displays all region-, report headers on every page in a different color, for example "magenta".
My CSS Code in the page header on page1:
<style type="text/css">
.t13RegionHeader {background-color:#FF3FA0;}
th.t13ReportHeader {background-color:#FF3FA0;}
</style>
{code}
works fine for report regions and form regions, but i didn't manage to change the color for the tabs. Is there any chance to switch the background color for tabs. Perhaps it's a better way to change the Color of the theme but I nether know how to manage this.
Does anybody have an idea?
Thanks in advance
Christian

Hi Chris,
first thanks for your quick answer.
...but it didn't work.
I'm using the Internet Explorer, but i analysed the source code of the running page. I tried also the entries: .t13PageTabs and th.t13PageTabs but i had no success on this try.
For the Page Tabs i found the following code:
<div id="t13PageTabs"><table cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" border="0" summary="" class="t13PageTabs"><tbody><tr><td class="OnL"><img src="/i/themes/theme_13/tabOnL.png" alt="" /></td>
<td class="OnC"><span>Produkt</span></td>
<td class="OnR"><img src="/i/themes/theme_13/tabOnR.png" alt="" /></td><td class="OffL"><img src="/i/themes/theme_13/tabOffL.png" alt="" /></td>
<td class="OffC"><a href="javascript:doSubmit('T_BUSINESSPROCESSVKZ');">Business Process VKZ</a></td>
<td class="OffR"><img src="/i/themes/theme_13/tabOffR.png" alt="" /></td><td class="OffL"><img src="/i/themes/theme_13/tabOffL.png" alt="" /></td>

Location of iWeb themes (templates)

Hi, do you know where are located iWeb themes (templates) in Finder? I'd like to use background picture used in Podcast page of Watercolour theme for Blog page of the same theme - there's a different picture used in background. There's no way how to change it directly in iWeb but there's an option to use background picture located anywhere in my Mac. So probably, if I'll know where themes (templates) are located, I might be able to succeed :-)
Any suggestions?
Thanks a lot.
Jan

In the Finder do Command-Shift-G and paste the line below.
/Applications/iWeb.app/Contents/Resources/Themes/
Then hit Return. Right-Click a Theme and choose Show Package content.

Easy URL Address for APEX Applications?

I have an APEX Application with a URL like:
http://www.domain.de/pls/htmldb/f?p=105
and it would be nice if the url would be like:
http://www.domain.de/topic
I have searched for Apache and Alias entries, but most of them are matching through directories and not for simple links.
Hope anyone could help.

i testing on a windows system at the moment, later on unix
the other solution in the posting from Jes i tried it like that:
<VirtualHost *>
          ServerName localhost/test
          ServerAlias localhost/test
          ErrorLog /wwwlogs/error_log
          CustomLog /wwwlogs/custom_log combined
          ProxyPreserveHost On
          RewriteEngine On
          RewriteRule ^/$ /pls/htmldb/f?p=101:1 [R]
          ProxyPass /pls/htmldb http://localhost:7777/pls/htmldb
          ProxyPassReverse /pls/htmldb http://localhost:7777/pls/htmldb
          ProxyPass /i http://localhost:7777/i
          ProxyPassReverse /i http://localhost:7777/i
          </VirtualHost>
