Exporting Apex pages and supporting objects

Hi
I want to export a selected number of pages from my Apex application plus all the supporting objects required for those pages (tables, procedures, etc) to another server.
I've been dabbling and found that I can generate a DDL for the supporting objects, and generate another script for the entire Apex application. Is there any way to do everything in a single script?
Basically I'm looking for the preferred way to export an application (and in particular I would like to be able to export selected parts of the application).

Version Control of APEX Pages and Shared Components

Background:
My organisation has a large customer base and over the last 2 years we have migrating from a forms to an apex user presentation layer. We have had a number of customers live on the apex front end for close to a year now.
Our current method of releasing apex objects is at the application level (ie applications are exported for version control in PVCS and then released to Test etc). We now want to investigate exporting pages and shared components individually. Hence, I have a few questions:
1. If I export a page and this is checked into PVCS and I forget to export a 'List of Values' shared component. What happens when the page in PVCS is created in another environment (ie Test). I guess the ‘Page Import’ would still succeed but the reference to the ‘List of Values’ would be some large made up number.
How would we detect the missing dependency after import ?
2. Regarding New or Changed Templates. Once again, if a page references a new template and is then exported, checked into PVCS and imported into test but the template is missed for migration to test, would the import succeed but the template reference would be broken, like in number 1.
3. How can Application level objects be locked (reserved) when undergoing modification.
Any comments would be appreciated especially if there are any sites using pages and shared component exports for version control and releases.
For anyone who's interested, the method we are thinking of using is:
..Page Export script will be version controlled
..ALL the shared component export scripts will be added to 1 main SQL script
Hence we only end up with 2 configurable objects in PVCS.

Nigel,
1. If I export a page and this is checked into PVCS and I forget to export a 'List of Values' shared component. What happens when the page in PVCS is created in another environment (ie Test).

For component export/import, the source and target worskpace ID and application ID must be identical. You can achieve the workspace "sameness" by exporting and importing the workspace from one database to another, thus preserving the workspace's numeric ID, aka security group ID. Similarly applications must be exported/imported/installed without changing their IDs in the installed-into instance. More fundamentally, the application you import/install components into must be an identical copy of the source application with respect to the internal object IDs, allowing only for differences that incent you to migrate changes from a higher rev level of the application into a copy that is at a lower rev level.
As to the specific question, if you copied a page but didn't copy an LOV into the target application then if the LOV referenced by the page already existed in the target application then page would simply reference the existing, perhaps down-level, LOV in the application. If the LOV did not already exist but had been newly created in the source application, then the target application page would contain an invalid reference and would produce a runtime error.
How would we detect the missing dependency after import ?
I don't know of any reports that would tell you this. There are several types of omissions that you need to watch out for, not all of which can be detected by inspection of the target application in isolation.
2. Regarding New or Changed Templates. Once again, if a page references a new template and is then exported, checked into PVCS and imported into test but the template is missed for migration to test, would the import succeed but the template reference would be broken, like in number 1.
Yes, same case.
3. How can Application level objects be locked (reserved) when undergoing modification.
There is no provision for this as there is for pages.
For anyone who's interested, the method we are thinking of using is:
..Page Export script will be version controlled
..ALL the shared component export scripts will be added to 1 main SQL script
Hence we only end up with 2 configurable objects in PVCS.
So you propose to have one script of all pages and another script for everything else? I'm not sure I got that right.

AppleScript - Resize page and all objects.

Hi, we'd like to take an existing page and not only resize page and all objects on page proportionately to fit new size. For example, our current page might be 9.5x20.25 inches and we'd like to go to 11.5 to 23.5 inches. Manually, I can go to file->document setup and change height and width to new sizes then select all objects and change W: and H: to match new sizes and seems to work finw but would like to try to do this from AppleScript if possible?
Thanks,
Joe

Look up the options available for the resize command in the app dictionary… page is also supported object…

Documentation for exporting apex page to Word or PDF

Hi,
Do you know of any examples or documentation for exporting several regions on an APEX page to either a word doc or a pdf? I have tried using the report print functionality but it's not quite robust enough and I can only do one report.
Any direction would be greatly appreciated.
Best,
Forrest

Hi -
Not sure if I've understood your requirement but I'll guess that you have multiple reports or other items on a page and you want to generate 1 report with values from all regions...
If that's the case the approach I would take:
1) Configure either BI Publisher or Apache FOP printing.
2) Define a Report Query and Layout under shared components that pulls in all the data you require.
3) Call the new report from a button on the page.
You can find docs for all of this on apex.oracle.com, look for "Configure PDF Printing".
Good luck.

Problems with JSP pages and BC objects

Hi all. I have a new problem. I'm creating an application based on a database, using BC and JSP pages. I created entity objects from tables and then view objects. I put these view objects in an Application Module. When I test my view objects from This Application Module all works, but when I create a new JSP, I can't drag and drop any view objects in it. I'm using Jdev 10.1.2.
Is there any one who can help me?
Thank you,
Caterina.

I'm using the MVC pattern, so I have a Model directory that contains my BC, and a ViewController directory in which I want to create JSP pages with a Struts page flow.

Apex Pages and tool based on it is very slow

Hi All,
I am using Apex 3.2 with Oracle 11g and facing lot of performance issues.
Presently a tool built on Apex has become very slow. We checked from PL/SQL point of view everything seems to be fine.
Mainly we face issue when trying to select Data from Apex collection. This we are facing for last 3-4 weeks. Earlier it was good.
Details of the application.
We are using Dedicated Server
On an average we have 30-40 users
Tables from where data is being fetched is not so big.
All the tables are being analyzed on daily basis
The same application on other environment is working perfectly
Please suggest where shall I check to increase the performance.
Thanks in Advance

You can try using these instructions but select iOS 6.1.6 for the 4G iPod. If yo select any other file you will get errors:

View the html source code of an apex page

Hi everyone,
I search to how I can view the html source code of an apex page and to be able to modify it. That's why viewing the html source code from the browser when the application is running doesn't arrange me.
Has anyone an idea how it can this be possible?
Best regards,

Do you want to be able to pull up the HTML source generated by Apex, modify that copy, and then feed it back into Apex with the chagnes you made? If so you can't. Apex generates the HTML through its tools and you have to modify the generation routines to get different HTML.
Do you merely want to look at the generated HTML? In Internet Explorer all you have to do is right click on the page and choose View Source to open a window with the HTML source in an editor. I sometimes find it useful to save a page and manually edit the copy to immediately see the effects of certain changes to the underlying HTML and/or Javascript without permanantly making the change in Apex.

Embed an Exported Muse Page Using "Insert HTML"?

Hello All,
I'd like to export a Muse page to HTML, then embed that entire page into another Muse page using Insert HTML. I've done some experimenting and haven't yet gotten it to work.
I'm familiar with embedding html in Muse, including the linking of external css stylesheets and js libraries, and I'm also reasonably skilled in post-editing my Muse pages in Dreamweaver. But this has me stumped.
Anyone have any experience to share? Thanks!
bart

Hi Bart,
I am not sure why you want to first export the page and then embed it as HTML in another Muse page. However, you can copy all the content from a page and use the "paste in place" option from Edit menu and all the content will be placed as it is on the source page.

An Automator action for exporting in Pages

Is it possible to make this? I can't seem to find a shortcut for exporting in Pages and I always export as .doc to the desktop so if this could be done with an Automator action it would be super.
Thanks

I don't know anything about Automator, but this Applescript will set your sleepy time to 4 minutes:
Click here to launch Script Editor.
<pre class=COMMAND>
tell application "System Preferences" to reveal (first anchor of pane ¬
"com.apple.preference.energysaver" whose name is "Sleep")
tell application "System Events" to set value of slider 1 of tab group 1 ¬
of window "Energy Saver" of process "System Preferences" to 100
</pre>

How can i run unix script from my apex page

how can i run unix script from my apex page and take the output of unix script as a hidden variable and display it on the report region of that page

I had a requirement to run a Fortran program against some data that woudl be extracted from the database after the user set up their filtering criteria and made some additional input. SInce the program was to complex to conver to PL/SQL, we decided to try and invoke it from Apex. This is how I did it.
1. I followed the steps in Tim Archer's excellent article "Oracle External Procedure to Run Host Commands" (http://www.timarcher.com/?q=node/9). If the link does nto work, google the article's title.
Using this steps I created a function which accepts any OS command, including calling my own shell scripts, and runs them. I called my PL/SQL function "shell" instead of "USF_RUN_HOST_CMD " as Tim did in his example (step 9).
2. In Apex,
a. I created a button to run my shell command. (I named it P2_RUN_SHELL)
b. I created a PL/SQL process whose source looks as follows:
shell('/home/ackness/scripts/cr_xcf_file.sh > /tmp/cr_scfp_file.log');
and which was conditioned on the the button P2_RUN_SHELL.
It works like a charm.
Note: since you can run your own scripts using this method, you can encapsulate a series of commands in a UNIX shell script and invoke that script from Apex. This allows you to be able to test or run you commands from the command line as well as Apex and makes it easier to develop/debug/enhance the scripts in the future.

Supporting objects was not installed successfully from the APEX 3.2 to 4.1

Hi, gurus:
greetings! I have a question regarding migrating application from 3.2 to 4.1. I need to migrate an application in a APEX 3.2 workspace to a new workspace of APEX 4.1. I exported the application from the APEX 3.2 workspace and imported it again to workspace of APEX 4.1, everything works fine except supporting objects was not installed successfully, and the application cannot show images. Could anyone give me a hint to find the cause and solution?
Thanks a lot!
Sam

Hi, Tony:
Nice to see you again! :) It proved out that was due to the wrong file format, I should choose UNIX file format to export my application from APEX 3.2 workspace instead of choosing DOS file format to export. Though I am still confused, Why this does matter? I used to export and import with random file type, as long as I keep consistency of file type for export and import, it never give me trouble like this.
I got the following error message
The following prerequisite checks failed. Installation of this application's supporting objects cannot continue until these issues are resolved.
To continue installation after addressing the errors, navigate to the Supporting Object Definitions of this application and click INSTALL in the Supporting Objects Installation section.
Alternatively, you can deinstall the application definition and reinstall after resolving these issues.
Object Names: EBA_CUST_ACTIVITY_TYPES, EBA_CUST_ADMINISTRATORS, EBA_CUST_ASSOCIATIONS, EBA_CUST_CATEGORIES, EBA_CUST_CONTACTS, EBA_CUST_CONTACT_TYPES, EBA_CUST_CUSTOMERS, EBA_CUST_CUST_ACTIVITY, EBA_CUST_LINKS, EBA_CUST_STATUS, EBA_CUST_VIEWS_LOG, EBA_CUST

Export for PDF and items disapear from the page...

Hello Big Masters,
please give me a solution to the fact that:
I lose some items (a text box and a graphic) at the export from Indesign to PDF.
-The file is 6 pages long. Simple. Some text and small pictures.
-The missing items are close to the right bottom of the page. It is allways on the same page. In my case on the last page.
-The missing item is exactly the same like some others. (it is like an object I could put on master page, but I wanted only to COPY/ PASTE IN PLACE)
-I tried countless solutions, but no one passed successfully. I tried to ungroup/regroup (it is an object made of letters and outlined letters), I tried to outline all of the object, I tried recopy the object, I tried to put the page in a different order (thinking that the bug always came on the last page), I closed down indesign, I tried different PDF quality options, I tried renaming and overwriting, I checked all the layers (they are all printable). NOTHING worked.
I start worring about the quality of Indesign, that I thought being the perfect software for multipage layouts, but I experienced this bug that wasted me 2 hours. In the researches for solutions I also found out that more problems are ahead in big ePubs or when you bring old big files, with Masterpages, it seems that is a real mess what comes out.
Do you experience these troubles with Bermuda-effect in Indesign (dissapearing items surprisingly unexpected...)???

The answer for you is YES.
But Still didn't get the bug solved.
The first pic as you see, is from ID before I export to PDF
and the last image is the crazy pdf file, I am getting.
If the adobe guys need my file for investigation, I can send it to them somehow.
But then again, I got a compromise solution by putting the "missing" object on a separate masterpage.

Convert pdf files into wiki pages, and export wiki pages as word and pdf files

I am working on an enterprise wiki site collection inside my SharePoint server 2013. And there was a requirement to automatically generate wiki pages from word documents. As I read that the built-in service within SharePoint does not support importing the
pictures within the word documents. So I looked into 3rd party tools and I settle on the “Kaboodle Word to Wiki” link
which will manage to convert word docs into wiki pages, with only minor layout problems.
But I want to know if there are additional tools which support the following:-

Exporting SharePoint wiki pages into pdf and word documents?

I haven't seen any third party tool converting pdf files to SharePoint wiki pages and and exporting SharePoint wiki pages into pdf and word files.
You need to write custom feature where you can use iTextSharp pdf for pdf conversion. you can also check below blog which shows the export of SharePoint Wiki to Word/PDF without 3rd party tools:

Problem embedding video in Pages and exporting as epub

I'm using pages 09 ver 4.2 (1008). I' trying to embed video (.m4v and .mov) I can't find the checkbox 'Copy audio and movies into document'. The user guide says it's an advanced option on the 'save as' but my version of pages runnning on Lion 10.7.4 doesn't have a save as'- just a 'save a version. It apparently does auto save).
I'm using Book Proofer to send the epub generated by Pages to my iPad. The strange thing is that some times the videos work and then I add another and one that used to work don't even appear when viewed on my iPad.
Any one had experience adding video (eother m4v or mov files using pages and exporting as a epub?
Thanks for any insights!
Steve

As far as I know, the Keynote export does not support video, only images and text (and, new with version 3, mp3 audio!).

Just update to Pages 5.1 - its dropped the pictures from my Pages files - 'Some features aren't supported - objects in table cells were removed' - how do I get pictures back?

Just update to Pages 5.1 - its dropped the pictures from my old Pages files - 'Some features aren't supported - objects in table cells were removed' - how do I get the pictures back?

Thanks Peter
Can you just walk me through dumping Pages 5 and getting to the Applications/iWork folder - and does this mean that when I see future Pages Upgrades I should block them?
I'm new to Apple so need a step by step
Many thanks
