Conceptual help moving from ACCESS to APEX - APEX/ORACLE beginner

Hello All,
I had a rather simple ACCESS form based application running, and am now rebuilding it in APEX for reasons of speed/robustness.
The application consisted of a form viewing one record at a time, as well as 2 subforms displaying 'x' records each, linked to the current record in the main form.
For some context, the main form was data about a particular site, the subforms were data about each item within the site.
The main form got all its information from one table, and viewed only one record at a time (with navigation/search tools in a header) because there was a wealth of information (~25 fields) which needed to be presented in logical groupings.
Access was suitable for this, because I could use the ACCESS 'form' to position/colour/group/differentiate the logical groups.
I have put this table into APEX, and am trying to get a similar outcome. I have created a report, which can drill down to one record at a time, but the information is nigh on indecipherable when presented this way.
What options do I have, and is it even possible, to create an application where one record from a table of ~3000 is presented on screen with a custom layout? I will worry about the subforms later... they can have separate pages.
Any help would be greatly appreciated, as you can tell from this post I need some high level guidance on where to start digging!

Hi,
You can read and learn from the APEX documentation which is available here. More specifically, this section of the advanced tutorials deals with Forms Layout.
It would be nice if you change your user handle to something more meaningful, too.
Regards,
Sergio

Need Help moving from mac to Windows

I did search the forum, but could not find it, so I thought I will ask.
I have to move from PowerBook to a Windows XP machine. (I see lots of threads moving from mac to windows but not otherway around).
How do I move the iTunes music. I want to keep the ratings, don't want to redo the ratings for 1000+ songs.
If it was previously asked and answered, please point me towards that thread.

Folks,
Sorry for the redundant post. I had problem doing this, and was able to make it work. The trick was renaming the file iTunes Library to iTunes Library.itl (with the extension).
Once I did that, it works well.
Thanks

Hi, Greg -
Welcome to Apple's Discussions.
There might be a couple of things at play.
• The symptoms you describe usually indicate the PMU needs to be reset -
Article #95037 - G4 (AGP) - Resetting PMU
Note - although that article is written around a G4 (AGP) model, the same procedure applies to all G4's except the (PCI) models; the particular location of the PMU button may vary from model to model, but is usually near the internnal battery.
• You may also need to replace the internal battery. That battery is used whenever the machine is unplugged from a live source of power - the Mac draws a bit of current even when shut down in order to maintain PRAM settings and the clock chip; that chore is taken over by the battery when there is no live power available. Since your machine was unplugged for a while when it was in transit, the battery may have been drained - especially if it has never been replaced.
You can get a replacement battery at places like Radio Shack for about US$15, cheaper on line.

Need help moving from PSE6 on Computer A to PSE8 on Computer B

They are both on a network.
It looks like I could use backup and restore but it seems that I have to copy my files twice....once to backup and once to restore. Is there an easier way to just copy them across the network?
Also, I want to retain all of my catalog and tagging info. Do I need to upgrade anything first on COmputer A, or will the act of doing backup and restore (if I use that method) work when the files start to be used by PSE8?
Computer A is a Windows XP. Computer B is Windows 7.
Thanks for your help.

Backup and restore will work. Always a good idea to have backups. Not sure why "I have to copy my files twice" is a problem, its the computer doing the work, not you.

Migrating tables from Access 2007 to an Oracle schema

Hi,
I want to migrate some tables(with data) from a remote Access 2007 database to an Oracle schema using Oracle SQL developer version 2.1.1.
Could someone help me with the list of steps that need to be performed for this migration??

Having the .MDB file is not sufficient. You will need to Capture the Access database first. To do so, install SQL Developer on the machine where the Access Database (and Access software) resides.
From the "Tools / Migration / Microsoft Access Exporter" menu, choose to run the exporter corresponding to your version. Once done, transfer the XML generated
file to the machine you usually run the migration.
A tutorial named "Migrating a Microsoft Access Database to Oracle Database 11g" is available at http://st-curriculum.oracle.com/obe/db/hol08/sqldev_migration/msaccess/migrate_microsoft_access_otn.htm
Continue your migration starting from the step "Capturing the Microsoft Access Exported XML"
Cheers,
Jean-Patrick

Moving from MS SQL 7 to Oracle 8i

We are thinking about moving one of our client/server applications from MS SQL 7.0 to Oracle 8i. We know that we will have to change some of the datatypes in the database. But will there have to be a major rewrite of the backend code (stored procedures, triggers, views, etc...)? Does Oracle 8i support SQL or just PL-SQL and JAVA?

Thank you all, at the end, i have fixed the problem. It seems root cause of the problem is my regional settings.
I have completed to transfer my Sql schema to Oracle with errors. Migration Wizard gives errors in the stage of creating relations. It is something like that,
Failed to create foreign key: ORA-02298 Cannot validate - Parent keys cannot find
I have also tried to migrate my sql data but when the wizard finishes running, a large amount of my data is also lost.
Do you have any suggestions?
Thank you.

How do I import the data from Excel (.xls) file into Oracle Database table

I have an excel file with 5 columns of 5000 rows.
I have to import 5000 rows of data into my oracle table with
same column names & Data types.
What is the best advise for this ?
Thanks.
Srini

You can connect to Oracle from Excel directly. I know you can read data but am not sure if you can export data.
Other option is to import the data into Access.
Create an ODBC connection for Oracle
Use the to connect to Oracle from Access
Export data to Oracle from Access

Accessing an APEX page, from an external application, passing a parameter

Hi,
We are tring to allow users access to a suite of reports we have developed within an APEX application, from an external source. Ideally we want to embed a URL that when activated, would access the APEX page, but would populate the APP_USER so the full functionality of the report can be fully utilised (region access etc). I have tried serveral options, such as:-
f?p=193:4.::NO:193::APP_USER:MR036668
i.e App no 193, page 4 and trying to populate APP_USER with "MR036668" but get the folowing error:-
Error ERR-1002 Unable to find item ID for item "APP_USER" in application "193".
Can anyone help?
Thanks
Mark

Hi ,
Please try this
Please open your application in APEX then go to shared component then create application item which is named as global item referenced by all the pages
F193_USERNAME
f?p=193:4:1903218616592015::::F193_USERNAME:Markieb1888
otherwise
you can pass LIKE THIS
f?p=181:1:1914838104983187::NO::P111_USERNAME,P111_PASSWORD:Matt,Baker
please let me give some more details to help you.
thanks

Moving from Apex&oracle express 10g to Apex&oracle express 11gr2

Hi,
I have an Apex application running on 10g express
Now I have another server and I want to move on Apex 4 with 11gexpress r2
I did an application export from within apex, then Import in 11g.
No errors everything is fine.
How about all the tables?
I read topics on forum but still I'm not sure
Kindest regards,
Florin

Hi,
You need export application parsing schema from 10G XE and then import those to target DB.

When I access 111.111.11.11:8888 from outside, I can access Tomcat page successfully.
( 111.111.11.11 is my static IP provided by my ISP ).
Without internet, I can access the Apex Admin page on the same desktop machine by www.my-website.com/ords/f?p=4550. This indicates, all the stack is working properly.
But if I access www.my-website.com, over the internet, I only get blank page.
(my domain is registered with GoDaddy and I forwarded to 111.111.11.11 which is my static IP)
Why can't I access my Apex application over the internet by typing the website.

Hi 3ds/Niranjan,
     To all the forum members, this thread is related to : 2 applications on one website
     I have helped him to setup architecture like this : Dimitri Gielis Blog (Oracle Application Express - APEX): Preparing architecture for APEX 5.0 upgrade
     The above architecture is setup properly on his home PC. He has obtained a domain from GoDaddy and on the domain he has configured redirect to his home PC.
     This redirect thing will not work I have explained him. For an APEX application to be accessible on internet(hosted) it should be hosted on APEX hosting solution providers domain. Refer : https://apex.oracle.com/pls/otn/f?p=24793:11::::::
     OR there is cloud option available.
     Refer :
hosted or cloud ? Apex...
Re: Apex on Cloud?
     Forum members can provide more clearance on this issue.
     Hope this helps!

Kiran

I have moved from a G5 Powermac to an Intel Mac Pro and am porting over Items from a Backup HDD. How can I access and use drawings and documents created on the PC computer on the Intel computer ?

I have moved from a G5 Powermac to an Intel Mac Pro and selectively porting over items from a backup hard drive.
How can I access and use documents and drawings created on the PC based computer ?

Clarisworks, you need Appleworks, which will only work with Mac OS X10.6.8 or earlier. See this tip if you must go newer. Mac Pros with newer hardware configuration than July 20, 2011 can't use Mac OS X 10.6.8 or earlier without this tip and then it would be Mac OS X Server. I'm not sure if the new black Mac Pro supports that configuration or not.
iPhoto, there is an iPhoto for all versions of Mac OS X.
iTunes, there is an iTunes for all versions of Mac OS X. Note with iTunes versions 11 and later, which are needed for syncing with iOS 7 or or later, you will lose coverflow, if you liked that feature. Sadly you can't run an older version of iTunes from within Mac OS X 10.9 or later.
Sketchup: http://help.sketchup.com/en/article/60107 shows the versions that will work with intermediate Mac OS X versions, and this shows the latest version: http://help.sketchup.com/en/article/36208 be sure to click on the operating system you choose to use.
GIF - Viewing GIFs Apple's Preview can do that. Editing them, I like http://www.lemkesoft.com/ Graphicconverter.
DMG is able to be opened by all versions of Mac OS X. This are just "disk images" which store programs on a virtual disk that will open when double clicked. Frequently you'll find the installer of the said program inside. To find out if the program itself is compatible with 10.7 through 10.9, see http://www.roaringapps.com/
Otherwise see the resources on:
https://discussions.apple.com/docs/DOC-2455
If you end up deciding to stick with Snow Leopard.

I moved from an old macbook to a new one. I have installed Office for Mac 2011. I copied all my files from my old notebook onto a hard drive. On trying to setup my mail, i went into my hard drive and accessed microsoft user identities, office 2011 and it shows the database but wont let me select it. Its almost as if the file is there but not accessable. I desperately need to access my old mail. How do I do this? I am fairly confident that I copied all files off my old notebook. Is there a way for me to search for the Database file? Maybe I copied it to a different location? Urgent help please.

Hello mafrerichs and welcome to Apple Support Communities,
Simplest way is to use Target Disk mode:

and hook to another Mac and use CCC or SuperDuper and clone your HD to another drive.
You could also pull the drive out of your MBP and use an external USB case or SATA - USB dongle to hook it to another Mac.

Accessing an APEX aplication behind a proxy

Is there a document explaining a virtual host setup to access an APEX (3.0.1) application behind a proxy server? What parameters should be passed to ProxyPass and ProxyPassReverse? I'm getting this error message:
Service Temporarily Unavailable
The server is temporarily unable to service your request due to maintenance downtime or capacity problems. Please try again later.
I'm running Apache on Linux Fedora 7.
Thanks,
Art

Hi Art,
Just to clarify, when you say 'proxy' you mean
another Apache server right? (As opposed to a
hardware proxy).I've got another Apache server on a different machine.
I did but they relate to the older applicationversion
The version of APEX has no bearing on this, those are
settings for the Apache configuration which is
'transparent' to APEX.
RewriteRule ^/$ /pls/htmldb/f?p=150:1 [R=301]The '150' refers to the Application Id, the '1'
refers to the page number you want to default to (you
could omit this if you handle it in your
application). The 'R=301' is a directive to tell
Apache that this is a permanent redirect (i.e. it
issues an HTTP-301 response to the browser).John, I can access APEX' root directory (the one with oracle's license) internally from my other machines on the network (http://XXX.XXX.X.X:8080/) and I'm trying to access it from outside before I create any application. Below are my settings. With or without a rewrite part, I'm getting this error: Service Temporarily Unavailable.
For a rewrite part, I've tried:
RewriteRule ^/$ /pls/htmldb[R=301]
RewriteRule ^/$ /pls/apex [R=301]
RewriteRule ^/$ /pls [R=301]
RewriteRule ^/$ /apex [R=301]
RewriteRule ^/$ / [R=301]
<VirtualHost XXX.XXX.X.X:80>
ServerName www.abc.com
ProxyPreserveHost On
RewriteEngine On
RewriteRule ^/$ /pls/htmldb/ [R=301]
ProxyPass / http://XXX.XXX.X.X:8080/
ProxyPassReverse / http://XXX.XXX.X.X:8080/
</VirtualHost>
What am I missing?
Thanks,

So I started to create a table which name is procedures and I put my procedures names on it.
Now how can I execute to procedures that name is in table?

OR dt.normal_yariyili=normalyariyil+1)
and (da.acildigi_donem='1' or da.acildigi_donem='2')
and dt.ders_kodu = da.ders_kodu
and dk.acilan_ders_no = da.acilan_ders_no

Moved from Oz to the Uk but can't access UK app store

Have moved from Australia to the uk and have changed my information in my iTunes store and registered it with a uk debit card etc. However when I go onto the app store it still shows Australian Apps and when I go to download them it says this appleid can only be used with the Uk store... How do I access the Uk store? I want my iPad, and iPhone, to automatically go to the uk store. When I click support at the bottom of the featured page it goes to a .com.au website.... It obviously thinks I'm still in Australia.
I also can't use bbc iplayer app, despite being in the uk... It says it's not supported in my country?!
I know there's a whole heap of threads about is but none that seem to address my problem directly. If you can help you'll be doing me a huge favour!
Thanks in advance!

First, on your phone: Settings>Store...sign out...now sign back in, then sync your phone while logged into the UK store on your computer...still using the same Apple ID, correct?
