Creating HTMLDB DAD for Application Express

Good Morning
I have http server running on port 7777 with PLSQL _mod. I can add DAD's using
the Mod plsql configuration menu
and get data back from procedures in my schema.
I have downloaded and installed Application Express ,its all gone into
FLOWS_02000 schema. It all loaded ok.
I don't seem to have a htmldb DAD set up though.
I tried to configure one using the Mod plsql configuration menu with out success
Is there an application that creates the necessary configuration to get HTMLDB
and http server working together.
Thanks
David Hills

David,
The installation guide (also included in the HTML DB 2.0 distribution) describes how to configure Oracle HTTP Server manually:

PDF Generators for Application Express

Can anyone make a few recommendations on third party products, etc. that can create pdf reports from Application Express?
Thanks,
Bob T.

Jes,
I've found those docs and have installed plpldf under user plpdf. I've tried to get the test2 example working in the manual install manual and haven't figured it out yet. Can anyone provide specific instruction.........
I've tried creating an anonymous pl/sql block in apex page. Created a process and inserted the test2 code there also. apex is telling me that it doesn not recognize plpdf.init method.......I've tried granting execute privilages but this hasn't made a difference.

Database security with PUBLIC EXECUTE privileges for Application Express

I recently tried installing APEX into an existing database containing a data warehouse. Security on this database is quite controlled and PUBLIC EXECUTE to SYS owned objects had been removed. Ie there was no PUBLIC EXECUTE on:
DBMS_LOB
UTL_HTTP
UTL_FILE
UTL_SMTP
UTL_RAW.
When I tried to install APEX, I got all kinds of errors and logged a TAR. The analyst told me to grant execute to public to the above SYS owned objects. This contradicts the "Policies" in 10G Grid control and the Metalink Notes 131752.1 &
Note:247093.1.
Can these execute privileges be changed to another user in the htmlDB
application such as FLOWS_FILES? Or HTMLDB_PUBLIC_USER? What is the security reccomendations for Oracle Application Express? Calling any product managers out there....

Developers/users have started clicking around and are now getting errors. There is a function called CUSTOM_AUTH and one called CUSTOM_HASH which do not compile. They have complain about not seeing UTL_RAW so had been relying on PUBLIC synonyms. here's the 1 function:
create or replace function custom_hash (p_username in varchar2, p_password in varchar2)
                         return varchar2
                         is
                         l_password varchar2(4000);
                         l_salt varchar2(4000) := '2ZVKZMILYMGVFRFXOZIVZ72RJNJY8V';
                         begin
                         -- This function should be wrapped, as the hash algorhythm is exposed here.
                         -- You can change the value of l_salt or the method of which to call the
                         -- DBMS_OBFUSCATOIN toolkit, but you much reset all of your passwords
                         -- if you choose to do this.
                         l_password := utl_raw.cast_to_raw(dbms_obfuscation_toolkit.md5
                         (input_string => p_password || substr(l_salt,10,13) || p_username ||
                         substr(l_salt, 4,10)));
                         return l_password;
                         end;

Create organizational charts using application express

I would like to create organizational charts using the application express(HTMLDB). How do I go about it?
I also tried the Aria sample application for HTMLDB 2.0, but when I try to run the scripts it asks for some bind variable parameters ' :NEW ' and ' :OLD ' which I could not identify. Can anybody help with understanding the standard inputs to this?

A perfectly reasonable question, phrased in
a perfectly reasonable way (in my opinion).
On this, I believe, we'll have to agree to disagree. I point you to the following document,
particularly the section "Questions Not To Ask":
I'm not sure why you feel the need to point me at a
document entitled "Questions Not To Ask",
particularly when I wasn't the one asking the
question....I pointed you to the section "Questions Not To Ask" in the document entitled "How To Ask Questions The Smart Way" not because I believe you need help asking questions, but because the advice given in that document directly contradicts your opinions:
"Q: How can I use X to do Y?
A: If what you want is to do Y, you should ask that question without pre-supposing the use of a method that may not be appropriate. Questions of this form often indicate a person who is not merely ignorant about X, but confused about what problem Y they are solving and too fixated on the details of their particular situation. It is generally best to ignore such people until they define their problem better."
I admit, I failed to follow the advice of ignoring the person when I first replied, but the issue is whether it was an appropriate question, which I think this quote clearly indicates it is not.

Version Control for Application Express

Hi all,
We are using Application Express (HTML-DB) 2.0 with Oracle 10g Release 2. We have developed a number of pages within our application (basically sales reporting). We are starting to get ready move these pages to a test and production environment.
Before we move to a production environment we need to implement a version control and migration (development -> test -> production) system. I have read various posts about importing and exporting pages and applications that have been very informational. However, I am still not clear on certain areas, any help/information on the below questions/comments would be helpful.
1.     How are other people implementing version control? For some of our other environments (for example, PeopleSoft-SQR) we use Visual Source Safe. Can we use this along with Application Express or is there a way to keep track of versions within Application Express it self?
2.     I see you can view a pages history at Home>Application Builder>Application 107>Page Definition>History. Is there a way to view the differences between the pages or to revert back to an older page?
3.     I know you can export a single page but that leaves shared components behind that might leave the complex page in a non-working state if imported and installed in the production application. Is there a way export and import shared components, for example LOVs?
These are a few of the questions I havebut I thought it would be a good place to start.
Here are a couple of links that have given me some information related to the topic.

Version Control
How do people version control HTML DB applications?
I would be interested in hearing your thoughts and ideas on this topic.
Thanks,
Stuff

Stuff - this is also something we've been grappling with.
Did you see the excellent tip about using Web server (or PL/SQL) redirects to point to the current app? The idea is that you copy the current prod app, work on the copy and then update the redirect to point to the new app when it's released and make the old app unavailable.
This is quite brilliant in its simplicity, and has the added benefit of leaving the old app intact for bug fixes and re-releases, (or even rollback) if necessary. However, the problem with it, and the reason it's no good for our purposes, is because it sits on top of the same schema, so if the version control applies to objects in the database (i.e. the schema itself or packages etc.), then you're snookered (as far as I understand it anyway).
In a previous project, our suppliers used VSS and versioned code at the app and function/procedure/package level - I'd love to know if anyone has a robust scheme for versioning at page level.
I suspect History is an audit trail rather than versioning - I can't imagine that all the objects in all their respective states are being persisted for anything other than 'undo' purposes.
Versioning at page level seems to be problematic but it can be done, provided that the shared components are sufficiently consistent. The trick is to edit the security group ID, but the usual caveats apply.
What seems problematic to us is how to create a build out of components at different versions, like you might in a conventionally-packaged exe. I think we might end up checking in (or just saving in the file system) consistent versions at app and package level (having developed and tested in a separate schema or instance), and doing an overwrite of the prod app plus running a DDL script for package/function/procedure updates with schema deltas and other things like image uploads applied manually at cutover.
I suspect that once I delve a bit deeper into where all these objects are stored, there will be more potential for scripting, but I'm not entirely confident that this will, reliably, give us entirely what we had in Pre-Prod. Another problem I've found with this approach is that packages don't get consistently replaced.
It may simply be that we're applying waterfall concepts to what is really a RAD tool, but in any case this is my first Web-enabled development so I've been at sea with everything from design methodology to version control.
Like you, I would be really interested to hear of other suggestions.
Regards,
John.

How to create login page for application with jheadstart

Is there a how to section for jheadstart?
After reviewing the jheadstart developer's guide. I am still left with lot of questions:
1. how to create a login page to allow access to an application using username/password from a database table
2. how to change the title graphic (jheadstart demo) to (my application)
3. how to execute a query by hitting enter instead of a mouse clicking a button
Any suggestion to search for such practical questions in this forum or other blogs and such is appreciated.

Mahin,
You can set Authentication Schemes for your applications. If you are using Application Express Authentication, you can create additional users from here:
1. From Application Express home, click Manage Application Express users.
2. Click Create to create users. To create end user, select "no" to developer and admin.

Oracle OpenSSO Pattern Matching for Application Express "Free" Pages

Has anyone successfully established a "Free" page within an Application Express application under Oracle's OpenSSO? The problem seems to be associated with the use of wildcards and the f?p syntax. In addition, the use of wildcards and multi-level wildcards in the OpenSSO un-enforced policy list seems to drop semi-colons from the posted URLs. We have successfully deployed applications which require authentication, but applications which contain a "free" landing page elude me.
Any insight would be appreciated.
Thank you.

How to create registry Links for applications

Hello NG
I want to work with Zenworks application virtualization. Now my question is
following.
When i set up an application as Office 2010 the exe file for ex. Word or
Excelwill be created. Now i need a registry value, that when I doubleclick
to a docx or xlsx file, the appropriate software does start
How can I do this?
Thanks in advance for your help
Ramon

there are a few ways... zav can create an msi installer for you that will setup associations and copy the virt exe to any location you want (just like any other msi application installer, just with one file:). I prefer this method, but there is also another exe tool that will register those file associations, they recently changed the name but its well documented. I suggested downloading the pdf from novell, its pretty short and informative.

SSO Authentication for more than one application in Application Express

Hello,
I recently got a single application working with SSO integration for Application Express 2.2.
Now I would like to create multiple applications within the same workspace, which all use SSO authentication. I tried both copying the working one from the other application and creating a new SSO authentication scheme from scratch into the new aplication.
I cant seem to make the new application work with SSO authentication. Do I have to go through all of the same steps I went through to get it working with the first application?
Thanks
-sean

Ok, my bad.
After shutting down my web browser and reopening it, the SSO integration now works for both the old and new applications. Not sure what was cached, but it was bypassing the sso check.

Minimum resources for Oracle Application Express

Hi,
I'm new to the forum, and a bit confuse here trying to find an answer to what supposedly is a simple question:
What kind of resources do I have to have to develop and deploy screens with Oracle Application Express?
The scenario:
I have this Oracle application all created in forms that we are planning to give to our customers in a web based.
I'm looking for options to convert it and many forums are talking about how easy and inexpensive (free) the Oracle Applications Express is.
Then, talking with my main developer, he told me that in order to use it, the client need to spend quite a while in IAS (Oracle's Internet Application Server) and/or have to have the Enterprise version.
I'm looking for white papers on that and could not find any corroboration, but just texts telling that it's free and easy to use.
Any one can point me to the right directions on this issue?
Just want to know what exaclty do I need in order to use (creating and deploying) the Applications Express.
Right now I have Standar Edition 10q as well as my client
THank you

If you want to develop an intranet web application, the HTTP server that comes with Standard Edition 10q would do. However, if you are thinking of it as an internet application then you better separate DB and web server. In that case you need to have either Oracle HTTP Server or Oracle Application Express Listener. Oracle HTTP server requires a license and usually bundled with DB or an Application Server. I believe Oracle Application Server is no longer being offered/available instead web logic server is made available. The basic edition of web logic would do as all you require is Oracle HTTP Server to broker the requestes between the web and the database. As far as I know, Oracle HTTP server is not being offered standalone. As mentioned above the other alternative is Oracle Application Express Listener but requires one of the J2EE complaint web servers like web logic, Glassfish, OC4J or TOMCAT.
Hope this helps!

Error while Creating Prestage Content File for Application in SCCM 2012

Hi All,
I am using SCCM 2012 SP1 on Win 2K8 SP R2 box. Database is SQL 2008 R2 SP1 CU6. I have trying to create Prestaged content for Applications for extracting pkgx files on DP's. I am getting the below error message for random applications(not for all applications
but for random applications).
Content that will be included into the prestaged content file (1):
Citrix Receiver 13.3.0.55
Export all dependencies: 'Yes'
Selected distribution points: 'MPSERVER.GS.WORLD.PRESS.COM'
Prestaged content file: 'G:\pkgxfiles\Application\Citrix Receiver 13.3.0.55.pkgx'
　Error: Distribution is currently in progress for selected packages: HM0000D9. Please wait and try again
But if I see this application is successfully distributed to 2 of the distributions points long ago. If I reupdate the Distribution point and then again try to create prestaged content for this application then pkgx file for that application is getting
created.
Why this is happening and how can I resolve this?
Thanks & Regards Uttam

Since no one has answer this post, I recommend opening a support case with CSS as they can work with you to solve this problem.

Muliple users in Application Express

Is there a way of creating multiple users in Application Express/htmldb without using the console? I need to create approximately 700 accounts. It's for our students who's requirements this year are to use it as part of their coursework.
I'm assuming it will be an SQL script.
