"disable" locks in Apex app

Hi Apex Gurus,
I have an apex app running for 4+ years without much problems/attention needed, which catches daily 15000 new recs from multiple users and some update recs by same users.
But today our DBA showed me a list of at least 15+ locks, which were created by the same user by accident of some key(s) pressed obviously, as quite some locks were created in same seconds. I was asked to "disable" such locks in the app. I don't have an idea how to do it, or even can it be done.
Can anyone help? Thanks in advance!
DC

Are the locked objects in the FLOWS_XXXXXX schema or are they in your parsing schema(s)? Do any of your applications explicitly lock rows? Please ask your DBA to send you the report that is showing these locks so that you can post it in this forum. If you drove your car to a mechanic and told him it was making a funny noise, would you expect him to diagnose the issue based on that information alone? ;)

Is there any way to lock an IPAD app? by lock, I don't mean password protect. My toddler is constantly scrolling out of her apps and this causes frustration as she spends all her time bringing the IPAD back to me to get back in to the app she was playing

Use 3rd party apps like Photo Manager Pro.

Best practice when developing APEX apps and using a SVN repository

Hi experts,
I wanted to get your opinion on best practice regarding how to use SVN and APEX combined.
The idea is basically how to structure and how to save APEX apps the best way in a repository.
I am currently working with a custom SVN structure, not using the default TRUNC/TAGS one : every app has a folder , under every app folder i have PAge number folders, and for each page reports, regions and global objects separated.
This helps me because its more readable then saving the whole page export, its good for small changes and i have a clear overview of every bit and piece.
What is everybody else using or is there a best practice to follow here that i dont know?
Kind regards,
Alex

Concevably, you could roll your own internal service if that particular one doesn't suit you. (I don't have any knowledge about how they are doing it, but it shouldn't be hard to figure out since Apple's constraining rules would only allow a few possibilities.)
USB app install and debugging isn't supported on iOS. You have to use wireless.
Another option specifically for multi-touch dev/testing, is to use an Android device.

APEX app using Oracle Text to index pages that require authorzation

Hi Gurus and APEX Dev team
My team need to develop an APEX App that will index all our documents spread across various servers. Some of the documents require Single sign on access (e.g. KIX.oraclecorp.com) and some require other authorization methods (e.g. Metalink) . The Question is , Is it possible to index the pages that require authorization using Oracle text. If yes How? I have implemented the demo app which can index pages that do not require authorization.
Thanks a million
regards
Bala

Hello,
Unless I misunderstand you, the fact that the pages require authentication doesn't really matter, it is the underlying data you want to index correct? If so then you would index them in exactly the same way that you would index any table data using Oracle Text/interMedia.

How to send a request to other apex app users?

HI,
Is there any kind of function in apex can enable me to make a thing that can enable apex app end users communicating with each other?
Like, If I input an error item no, and I wouuld like my administrator to change it, I now will write him a small text in stick paper, can we do things within apex?

Hello,
I don't think it's too hard to make something like that. Basically you've a table for messages and you have a region on page 0 (to show on all pages) or whatever page you want that queries that table. You could even let it query every x seconds automatically with ajax.

Hi,
We have some many machanical drawings in pdf format, they are 1,000 + , I want to manage those drawings, like put them in a database table, possibly in blob format, and then show them in my apex app as an icon of pdf. then if somebody clicks that icon, the drawings will show in another windows, like many websites did.
How to achieve that in an apex app?
any idea?
I always find that hard to do.

Search this forum for uploading documents to database, there are many threads.

Link to APEX app

DB: Oracle 10.2.0.4.0
APEX: 3.2.1.00.10
My APEX app will be accessed from a non-APEX app, which already has authenticated the user. Since the user doesn't need to be presented with a login page again, I'm assuming that I need to create a Public page with a Hidden Item that will be populated with a hashed check value provided in the URL to the page. The value will then be "decrypted" by calling a Java stored procedure in the database to reveal the UserName and their Role. Once the UserName and Role has been determined, a page process will check a table to make sure that the username and role is valid. However, I still need some sort of authentication in APEX because the app is not actually public...we don't want anyone to access the app, just users that already have an account on a remote DB.
Most of the examples I've seen on the forum are for apps that have their own table of usernames and passwords, but in my case each user that will be accessing this app already has their own Oracle UserId/password in another database. Would an authentication function need to include a query to the dba_users@remoteDB table to get the pwd for this userid? How to setup some custom authentication scheme that would automatically log them into my APEX app?

Hi Dishoom,
what you need to do is create a custom authentication / page sentry function which checks if your user is logged in. If everything is all right you let him proceed, otherwise the login-page is displayed automatically.
Something like this: Link: [http://jastraub.blogspot.com/2008/03/ntlm-http-authentication-and.html] just not NTLM but your custom check.
Have fun,

Consuming RESTful web service in Apex app

Hi,
I have created a RESTful Web service through an Apex application (4.0) and published as a public web service. Can someone point me to an example of how to then consume that service in another Apex app? The output is straightforward XML that I can retrieve just by pointing the browser to the URL of the service created, but when I go to create the REST Web Reference for the receiving application, I am not sure what to put for the Response Xpath or Response Namespace. The service is meant to just return report records that were created in the REStful Web service with no input required.
The service XML looks like this:
<ROWSET>
<ROW>
<PROJ_ID>132</PROJ_ID>
<PSL_NETID>xxxxxxxx</PSL_NETID>
<PROJECT_TITLE>11g- Oracle Upgrade to RAC 11g</PROJECT_TITLE>
<CUSTOMER>OIT</CUSTOMER>
<DIVISION>EIS</DIVISION>
</ROW>
<ROW>
<PROJ_ID>132</PROJ_ID>
<PSL_NETID>xxxxxx</PSL_NETID>
<PROJECT_TITLE>11g- Oracle Upgrade to RAC 11g</PROJECT_TITLE>
<CUSTOMER>OIT</CUSTOMER>
<DIVISION>CSS</DIVISION>
Any help would be appreciated.
Thanks,
Pat

Hi,
I have made progress in this. I created the RESTful report service in an Apex 4.1 application. (previous attempt was with 4.0 version of Apex)
I then created a separate application and created a RESTful web service reference that I tested and it was successful in bringing up XML. However in Apex 4.1, when I create a report following the Wizard for creating a report based on that Web service reference I get the error: ORA-31013: Invalid XPATH expression Which I don't know how to get past. The Xpath provided in the Web service reference test gave output below and brought back a result. There was no where during the Report creation to provide an Xpath. Am I missing something or is 4.1 not quite Web service ready??
This is what I get from the test of the Web service reference in the Apex App from which I want to create a report: (I see in this XML the data I was expecting from the test of the RESTful web service but it looks like the output I get from the Web service test is more like the Report xml itself.)

Don't know how to store/show image or pdf files easily in apex app

Hi,
I always want to put a blob column in my table and store some images or pdf files, like drawings for an item, but I found it hard to do, I have viewed the sample app by apex 4.0, but I cannot understand the code.
Is there a simple and intuitive way of storing/showing pdf files in an apex app?
I wish Oracle could make an easier wizard for apex on that issue.
just make storing a file as simple as in MS access, or email attachment, etc.
no headache coding involved.
that will be great!
that will also do Oracle good, since images will use up a lot of spaces, maybe Xe won't be enough, the will consider an upgrade.

Yawei,
there is a chapter about BLOB support in the application builder users guide: http://download.oracle.com/docs/cd/E17556_01/doc/user.40/e15517/advnc.htm#BCGGJHEF
Maybe this helps for a start, even if it isn't as easy as in MsAccess but this may be due to the fact that APEX is a web application and Access a rich client.

I let my students use my IPAD for different Apps. I was wondering if there was any way to lock my email app or sign into it before it opens. Suggestions?

There is no way to lock the built-in email app. You can remove the password from the Mail, Calendars, Contacts settings, but you'd have to readd and remove that every time, probably not very practical. There are third-party apps that have a login feature within the app, so one of those might work for you. Or you can just use a web interface to your email, if your provider offers that, though many web interfaces don't work very well with mobile web browsers.
Alternatively, if your students just use a single app at any given time, you can lock the iPad to that app via Guided Access:
