Companion CD for 10GR1...Need to evaluate APEX....

All and/or Technet Download Support reps...
I have a licensed client running 10.1 planning to upgrade in the not too distant future who has expressed an interest in Oracle APEX. They have decided they want to look at it in depth and configure for their environment to test out fully. As noted they are still 10.1 and unfortunately the Companion CD is no longer available for 10.1 and I need it to install the HTTP server so they can try out APEX. Is there any way to gain access to the 10.1 Companion CD online or otherwise??? We downloaded the media from Technet originally but didn't need anything but the DB so the Companion CD wasn't required.
Your assistance is greatly appreciated.
Thanks,
Greg

Hopefully you will review the docs (again?) before you attempt the install. The magic is in the mod_plsql, not in the database.
As I said - use the HTTP server on the companion for 10gR2 or the one for 11gR2. They all do the same thing - intercept and run mod_plsql out to the database. I successfully used the 10gR2 companion HTTP server against 10gR1 database, although that was a few years ago.

Since it needs to be in a separate ORACLE_HOME and since it connects to the database via Oracle Networking, you could just as easily put the HTTP server on your Windows laptop for the duration of the evaluation. ;-) Alternately you could get the database 9i CDs from eDelivery and do a custom install of the HTTP server. Or contact Oracle Support and try to get access to the CD through them.

  • Companion CDs for 64-bit Oracle HTTP Server for AIX5L(64 bit) required.

    I need Companion CDs for 64 bit Oracle HTTP Server for AIX5L(64 bit).
    I tried to install using
    as_ibm_aix_companion_101300_disk1.cpio & as_ibm_aix_companion_101300_disk2.cpio
    but when i checked the files present in <Oracle_Home>/ohs/lib , they are of 32-bit.
    Also i tried with Oracle 10.1.2.0.2 but still the server is installed as 32-bit.
    Is 64-bit Oracle HTTP Server supported on AIX5L(64 bit) ?
    If yes, then from where can i download the CDs?
    Any suggestions will be appreciated.

  • Is Oracle Text the right solution for this need of a specific search!

    Hi ,
    We are on Oracle 11.2.0.2 on Solaris 10. We have the need to be able to do search on data that are having diacritical marks and we should be able to do the serach ignoring this diacritical marks. That is the requirement. Now I got to hear that Oracle Text has a preference called BASIC_LEXER which can bypass the diacritical marks and so solely due to this feature I implemented Oracle Text and just for this diacritical search and no other need.
    I mean I set up preference like this:
      ctxsys.ctx_ddl.create_preference ('cust_lexer', 'BASIC_LEXER');
      ctxsys.ctx_ddl.set_attribute ('cust_lexer', 'base_letter', 'YES'); -- removes diacritics
    With this I set up like this:
    CREATE TABLE TEXT_TEST
      NAME  VARCHAR2(255 BYTE)
    --created Oracle Text index
    CREATE INDEX TEXT_TEST_IDX1 ON TEXT_TEST
    (NAME)
    INDEXTYPE IS CTXSYS.CONTEXT
    PARAMETERS('LEXER cust_lexer WORDLIST cust_wl SYNC (ON COMMIT)');
    --sample data to illustrate the problem
    Insert into TEXT_TEST
       (NAME)
    Values
       ('muller');
    Insert into TEXT_TEST
       (NAME)
    Values
       ('müller');
    Insert into TEXT_TEST
       (NAME)
    Values
       ('MULLER');

       (NAME)

    Insert into TEXT_TEST
       (NAME)
    Values
       ('CHRISTOPHER Phil');
    COMMIT;
    --Now there is an alternative solution that is there,  instead of thee Oracle Text which is just a plain function given below (and it seems to work neat for my simple need of removing diacritical characters effect in search)
    --I need to evaluate which is better given my specific needs -the function below or Oracle Text.

    NAME
    PAUL HERNANDEZMy entire need was only to be able to do a search that bypasses diacritical characters. To implement Oracle Text for that reason, I am wondering if that was the right choice! More so when I am now finding that the functionality of LIKE is not available in Oracle Text - the Oracle text search are based on tokens or words and they are different from output of the LIKE operator. So may be should I have just used a simple function like below and used that for my purpose instead of using Oracle Text:
    This function (remove_dia) just removes the diacritical characters and may be for my need this is all that is needed. Can someone help to review that given my need I am better of not using Oracle Text? I need to continue using the functionality of Like operator and also need to bypass diacritical characters so the simple function that I have meets my need whereas Oracle Text causes a change in behaviour of search queries.
    Thanks,
    OrauserN

    If all you need is LIKE functionality and you do not need any of the complex search capabilities of Oracle Text, then I would not use Oracle Text. I would create a function-based index on your name column that uses your function that removes the diacritical marks, so that your searches will be faster. Please see the demonstration below.

  • Is Captivate / E-learning suite right for my needs?

    Is Captivate / E-learning suite right for my needs?
    Having been on hold for over 90 minutes to Adobe yesterday, and searching Adobe.com and You tube for info I am throwing my request for information at your collective feet.
    The organisation I work for needs to deliver some e-learning modules, these are informing on non-software based actions and information.
    We have had modules professionally designed for us in the past (almost certainly in DW or flash) – the number that we need for the next 12 months has grown, although each individual module is smaller – so professional design is less attractive due to minimum costs per module.
    Content at the moment is delivered as a page or frame of text, with still pictures, video, and audio content. Roll over information, and links through to supporting documents and web sites. The user then clicks on through the pages as they demand. Finishing with a quiz and a certificate of pass mark.
    The core of any information I have found about Captivate 4 represents it primarily as screen recorder. I need to build a module outside of screen recordings.
    Is captivate the product to do what I need?
    I can’t find any in-depth information beyond “it’s a great screen recorder and software demo tool”.
    There doesn’t seem to be any supporting documents, books, videos that could be used as a platform for training users how to work with Captivate 4 – and I can find no face to face trainers in Australia.
    If anyone to shed some light on what captivate is capable of doing beyond screen recording, and if there is any training available online / from books / or face to face in Australia I would be very happy to hear from them.
    The available delivery formats that Captivate can output would be very helpful too – as a government organisation we have a limited amount of software / updates we must work with.
    Many Thanks

    Hi there
    Iconlogic is one of many companies providing Adobe Certified Captivate instruction. Many companies are using the curriculum they wrote. Note that their curriculum is designed for two uses. Learn it on your own with no instructor present and as a companion for an Instructor Led class.

  • Need to evaluate CPU or PSU patches

    Hi,
    Our business is on the way of migrating the databases. Before migrating the databases, we need to evaluate whether we need to apply CPU or PSU patches after migration.
    If we are positive on applying CPU patches, then we will migrate the oracle_homes as well, as we have been applying CPU patches after every release.
    In case if we are positive upon PSU patches, then we will be migrating only the databases.
    So with this scenario, we need to evaluate whether we need CPU or PSU. I did a basic analysis and found that PSU contains the CPU plus non-security updates. Therefore applying PSU is beneficial. Also we cannot mixmatch the patches i.e. if we are applying CPU, then we have to apply only CPU patches and if we are applying PSU then we have to apply only PSU patches. However we still need to know further details which could be captured from the answers to below questions.
    1. What are the risks and impacts of applying the patches.
    2. When Oracle releases both CPU and PSU, on what basis can we evaluate whether we need CPU/PSU when we are applying for the 1st time.
    3. If, after a period of time after applying patches, if we encounter any bugs and Oracle recommeds to apply a bug fix, what will be the implication that will be encountered if we have to apply on top of CPU or PSU patches.
    4. Will any situation arise where we need to apply a CPU patch, when we already have been applying PSU patch. If so do we have to rollback all the PSU patches or only the
    5. Do we need to install new oracle_home each time we are applying PSU patch
    6. Are there any ways we can reduce downtime. Are these hot patches. We have reduced our downtime while applying CPU patches by applying through OEM. How do we knoe whether they are hot or cold patches
    These are some of the questions. Maybe later on i may get more questions. But I would like to get a clear idea.
    Note: I had to write this elaborately, so that I can make myself clear on the scenario and also to avoid redundancy while posting messages.
    Thanks

  • Error Message when installing Companion CD for HTMLDB 1.6 and HTTP Server

    Hi. First time forum user so bear with me.
    I'm not sure if this is the correct forum for this but the assistance of anyone who may be able to shed some light on the problem whould be greatly appreciated. I am having a problem when attempting to install the Companion CD for HTMLDB 1.6 and HTTP Server, details given below:
    The following Oracle components have been successfully installed
         Oracle 10gR2 Database.
         Oracle 10gR2 Database patch 10.2.03.
         Critical patch up date (security).
    The following Oracle component failed to install.
         Companion CD for HTMLDB 1.6 and HTTP server
    Scenario leading up to failure
         Extracted companion CD installation files to D:\oracle\utilities\Oracle_10_2_0_Companion
         Executed D:\oracle\utilities\Oracle_10_2_0_Companion\companion\setup.exe.
    The following error message is displayed in a "JAVA VIRTUAL MACHINE LAUNCHER" dialog box
         "Could not find the main event class. Program will exit."
    I have been attmepting to resolve this problem for over a week and have already checked the following with no resolution to the problem:
    Cause. This issue may have to do with two issues (and may occur more on Windows):-
    1. Within the ORACLE_HOME directory full pathname there is a space.
    2. The directory from where the software / patch is being installed has a space within the directory full
    pathname (where the file for the installation by default is named products.jar or products.xml).
    Solution. To implement the solution, please execute the following steps:-
    1. Rename the full pathname directory NOT to contain a space.
    2. Launch again the OUI... and verify if the problem occurs.
    Any further guidance would be greatly appreciated.

  • ***CALLING ALL MACBOOK AIR USERS*** Will the base model of the 2013 Macbook Air 11" be enough for my needs?

    Ok,
    This is my first post to this forum.
    I have a Late 2011 i5 Macbook Pro. I used this last year during college but the weight was just unbearable. I have decided this year to upgrade to a Macbook Air. Here is my question.
    I am starting uni and will be studying Nursing and so I will not be using any heavy software or progaming etc.
    The only thing I will use is Office for Mac and browsing. I normally keep around 15 browser tabs open whilst I research.
    I also like to download so I would also like Vuse on my Macbook too. I own an external hardrive and so memory isnt a big deal (unless it makes a difference to the performance of the mac itself, Sorry im not great with this stuff)
    Do you guys think the base model of the 11" Macbook Air (1.3ghz, 4GB ram, 128GB SSD) will be enough for my needs or do you think I would need to custom build it (1.7ghz, 8GB ram, 128GB SSD)?
    My boyfriend thinks for what im using it for the base model will be fine but I dont want to get it to find that its not enough as my main concern is lag but I also do not want to pay extra for something which isnt going to be fully used (ie my current Macbook Pro).
    For those of you who do have the 11' Macbook air, how are you finding it? Also, this will be my main computing device, I am selling my Pro but am thinking of buying the wireless keyboard and trackpad so I can connect to an extenal monitor whilst im at home.
    Thank you guys in adavnce for any answers.

    I too have a 2011 mackbook pro and I also have a mid 2012 mackbook air 128 gb ssd and 4 gb ram , I am probably goint to sell the pro because I just don't use it anymore . If you intend to do heavy multi tasking 8gb ram as suggested by a previous poster might be worth the extra money.

  • Using htp.p for print dynamic data in apex region make my page slow?

    Hi, everyone!!! My name is Rafael, and...
    I search in the web and in this forum but i can´t find a answer for my doubt.
    Using the procedure htp.p for print dynamic data in apex region through on demand process , this will leave my webpage slow to load when the user access?
    Example:
    For build a menu in my webpage, it´s read a function in the database that returns variable string, so by a demand process this string is obtain and print in a web page using htp.p.
    I notice that this practice causes slow to load the data on the page.
    This is it...
    If someone help me, thanks...
    bye and Happy new Year!!!
    Edited by: user9518141 on 26/12/2009 17:19

    Hi,
    Try commenting out the function call and print some sample text in the htp.p like htp.p('Hello world..');
    I think the function call is probably taking a lot of time .. not htp.p.
    I have used htp.p to print out values dynamically in a lot of situations and have not ever come across any performance issues.It could be a problem with the function you are calling.
    Thanks,

  • Need A New Printer~Which Would Be Good For My Needs?

    Just on Saturday I got my New iMac computer with of course OS X Mountain Lion to replace my old iMac that was still running on Tiger.  Now I need to upgrade and get new items, particularly a printer. My old printer is a HP All-In-One Photosmart and was the type to directly hook up via a USB port cable...NOT wireless.  There IS NO updated software to upgrade this printer, so that means I need to get a new printer.  I don't have wireless Wi-Fi but connect to the internet via Ethernet cable and notice most of the "newer"printers are all wireless..are they any printers that can have the versatility to connect via wireless but more important USB cable?  I need a printer that can print documents (from my computer), scan and print photos from my computer NOT a memory card as I do not have a digital camera...my photos are scans from a photo scanner to digitize.  I've been reading what Apple store has to offer as far as printers and frankly confused which would be the best printer to buy for my needs.
    Any suggestions??
    PS NEED PRINTER THAT CAN HOOK UP VIA USB PORT NOT ETHERNET AS THAT IS ALREADY TAKEN BY MY HOOK UP VIA MY DSL ROUTER

  • Which rMBP for my needs? 13" or 15" rMBP

    Hi,
    I've read several threads and articles and can't seem to find any reviews for folks w/ a similar setup.  Most reviews are for a the laptops themselves but I'm curious if anyone can chime in on the performance when connected to a 27" Apple display (pre or post thunderbolt).  How does a 13" rMBP perform in iPhoto/Lightroom/Photoshop on a 27" apply display?
    Here's some background.  I'm currently using a 2010 15" MBP connected to a 2010 27" Apple cinema display (pre-thunderbolt) and performance really bogs down in iPhoto (150GB iPhoto size).  Performance is much, much better when not using the 27" display.
    My current and future uses are iPhoto and iMovie.  I use a Canon 7D DSLR mostly for pics and HD vids of my friends and family.  I plan to purchase either Aperture or Lightroom once I get a new rMBP as well.  I shoot RAW files and use the HD video features.
    Can anyone chime in and/or make a recommendation as to which rMBP would be best for my uses?  I like the price and form factor of the 13" rMBP but my main concern is it doesn't have enough horsepower to drive a 27" apple cinema display.
    I have both a 2008 13" aluminum macbook, 2010 15" MBP, 2011 MBA, and all work like champs - when standalone.  It's just that they don't seem to be able to handle 27" apple display all too well (i.e. scroll lag, choppiness when dragging windows, iPhoto slider update lag, etc).  The 2008" 13 aluminum macbook can only watch Bloomberg TV standalone, on the 27" display it's blank.  My work laptop (2011 Lenovo ThinkPad) handles the 27" display like a boss!!
    With that said, unfortunately, for my needs I feel like it's time to upgrade (again) and now leaning more towards the 15" rMBP.  But if the 13" rMBP can handle large RAW files, HD vids, AND a 27" cinema display I'll get that one.
    Any help is greatly appreciated.  Thanks so much!

    I also use a Canon 7D. One big difference is that the current 13" and 15" have Intel Iris/Iris Pro integrated graphics, which are said to be a great improvement over the integrated graphics in the older MacBooks you have. They are so much better that Apple no longer sells MacBook Pros with a separate graphics card unless you buy the most expensive 15" MacBook Pro, which is so expensive I'm not sure I'll ever buy it.
    For Aperture or Lightroom, the amount of RAM is going to be very important. I don't use Aperture, but for Lightroom the graphics card is not very important. From that I would guess that you could get either a 13" or 15" as long as you put enough RAM into it from the beginning, since both programs want lots of RAM and you can't upgrade it later. That should be at least 8GB RAM, but I would just max it out at 16GB RAM and not worry about it again.
    The current 15" should drive a 27" monitor without a problem. I'd like to say the 13" can, but since it's labeled Iris instead of Iris Pro that might make a difference. If you live anywhere near an Apple Store you should go down there and ask them to connect the 13" to one of their 27" monitors and see how well everything works.

  • IMac spec help required for virtualisation needs.

    Hi I currently own a MBP 13" core 2 duo with 4GB ram and its hardware limitations are becoming apparent for my needs and I cannot increase the memory any further.
    I have recently taken a career change and started working in IT which I love to bits.  As part of my job I have to complete several Microsoft Exams. 
    I learn by doing practice scenarios and have been using Parallels 6 for Mac, virtualising 2 Windows 7 and getting them to communicate to each other etc. There will be other things to learn down the line.  I like Parallels because you can flip easily between OSX and MS take snapshots etc.  However my current MBP does struggle (it pages to the HDD and the fans do kick in) & I am looking for another Mac as I like the all in one form factor screen etc, I don't want a beige box.
    I would really like another MBP but the memory only goes up to 8Gb Ram so considering the iMac range but with the iMac comes limitations - portability.
    As I progress with my new career I will have to take further exams in further subjects such as Windows Server 2008 R2 & Exchange 2010 and so on.
    I would like to continue using Parallels 6 but my main issues is the spec.
    A training example I maybe thinking of is:
    1 to 2 Windows 7 Virtual clients
    1 Windows Server 2008 R2 with SP2 running a Domain & Exchange 2010
    or to replicate real world scenario
    as above but 2 * Windows 2008 Server R2 (1 with a Domain controller the other with Exchange 2010).
    I may also want to learn Windows Small Business Server - so something similar to the above.
    This will (ideally) be running on OSX using Parallels 6.
    With this in mind I am considering:
    iMac 27" 2011 -
    3.4GHz Quad-Core Intel Core i7
    4GB ram Plus 8Gb purchased separately totalling 12GB (may consider maxing out to 16gb if needed)
    256 Gb SSD with the 2TB HDD
    I understand that I will have to balance the needs of OSX and the guest operating systems I am hoping the i7 will give me this flexibility as there are virtual cores.
    eg Host - OSX - 2CPU's & 4GB ram
    2* Win 7 - 1 CPU shared & total of 2GB ram
    Windows 2008 R2 (Domain controller) - 1 CPU & 2GB ram
    Windows 2008 R2 with Exchange 2010 & test mailboxes etc - allocate 2 CPU's (hoping that the virtual cores come into play) & 4GB ram.
    As this is going to be a testing & learning environment there isn't going to be a massive load on the exchange box or loads of clients accessing so I am hoping the memory & cpu requirements are going to be ok. 
    My main questions are:
    1- Will the above iMac spec do?
    2- Should I max out the ram to 16gb?
    3- Is the standard AMD Radeon HD 6970M 1GB do or should I upgrade to the 2GB due to the number of virtual machines.
    4- As this iMac will cost some money could I get away with an i5???
    5- Will it perform ok - ie will my OSX environment and my guest os's work smoothly without any lag
    6- Will the i7 Virtualisation of the CPUs work (as in my real world scenario I have run out of "actual cpu's!!)
    7- Is there a likely hood that the iMac could over heat with all the work that I am asking it to do?
    8- Confirm my gut feelings that a MBP would not be able to do the the tasks I am asking it to do?!!!
    10 - Any suggestions to getting my MBP to connect remotely to the iMac so I can do virtualisation work on it?
    11- Has anyone done something similar and got any advice / tips on their setup.
    12- Should I just not bother using OSX and just use Microsoft Hyper V (still on an iMac though)
    Any answers / suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

    1. I would think the system that you have is mind is more than enough. 
    2. No, I think 8GB is find, but if you are planning on running 4 or 5 VMs at the same time then maybe 12GB.
    3. This is find.
    4. Yes, the i5 will work for you also.
    5. Yes, but again if you have 4 or 5 VMs open it could lag.
    6. Yes both the i5 and the i7.
    7. No, It has has a few fans that will take care of heat.
    8. Yes, I would think any of the current MacBook Pro's con handle this also.
    9. Yes, Apple Remote Desktop, Back to my Mac, LogMeIn, etc.
    10. Get the largest hard drive available for you new system. 
    11. No, use Parallels.
    Good luck with your new position. 

  • I've installed bootcamp 4.0 on my iMac 27. Everything works superb, but for playing need for speed run or battlefield 3 I need catalyst driver 11.7 or higher. How can I update my graphics? Is there a possibility except waiting for a new bootcamp version?

    I've installed bootcamp 4.0 on my iMac 27. Everything works superb, but for playing need for speed run or battlefield 3 I need catalyst driver 11.7 or higher. How can I update my graphics? Is there a possibility except waiting for a new bootcamp version?

    But how do you install the drivers if Bootcamp is running interference?
    Bottom line, I'ev tried to install three different versions of updated ATI driver sover the last few momnths and on each and every occassion have ended up with the original Bootcamp driver. A number of current games are unplayable on a Mac running Bootcamp as a result.
    And if I can't run the software I want, then Bootcamp is as useless as boobs on a bull.

  • Which is better for my needs?

    Hi there.
    I was wondering which is better for my needs? I'm not very familiar on all of this, so any info will help.
    I play a lot of games like World of Warcraft, and I do some video editing, + other practical things. I'm debating over to get the 8 GB Memory with a 512 MB Graphics card, or get the 4 GB Memory with the 1 GB Graphics card for the extra money. I'd like to keep costs as low as possible, so I'm also interested in the price/performance ratio.

    First, take any iMac model with the standard 4GB memory. You can get top quality memory from Other World Computing or Crucial, amongst others, for about half of what Apple charges. It's easy to put in yourself with Apple provided directions or OWC has video's too. I added two 2GB memory cards in the two empty memory slots to bring my iMac to 8GB.
    It sounds like you want the larger screen. I opted for the 21.5" screen with the same graphics 6770M as the low end 27", and have been pleased with it. This, for me, was the price performing iMac.
