Exporting Shared Components

The present method I have of exporting Shared Components in Portal (Oracle 9i) is within Portal itself, exporting Fonts, Images, and user templates
individually.
Is there an automated COMMAND LINE method of exporting these Shared Components?

Which version of Portal you are using?
Is it 3.0.9 or 9.0.2 ?
For 9.0.2 there is an option to bulk export/import the shared components by way of transport set.

Shared components missing

I have an application that was apparently created without shared components. Is there a way to import shared components into an existing application? I tried exporting from another app; but apparently none of my applications have shared components.

It is not mandatory for applications to have shared components, though it is rather unusual as applications generally use Tabs and Lists for navigation and these are shared components.
If none of your applications have shared components then what is there to export and import? You can create new shared components in the applications as needed.

Shared components between applications

There are ways to create shared components between applications?
Example:
menu list shared between multiple applications.
Version Apex: 4.0.1

I would seriously question why you want to export pages from dev to qa or qa to prod. Why you are NOT looking at using a version control system and exporting from that to the different environments would be a good question to tackle...
Anyone who use the approach of copying pages between environments is just asking for trouble, since there WOULD and Could be the chance of NOT migrating all changes between environments that have occurred between versions..
I for one would be VERY leery of such process, and have dealt with a shop like this.. Glad I am NOT There anymore..
Thank you,

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). I guess the ‘Page Import’ would still succeed but the reference to the ‘List of Values’ would be some large made up number.
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.

Exporting individual components

I built an fxp project which is filled with components.
The developers are having some hard times navigating all the components and have requested that I export each component as its own fxpl
The problem is..... there doenst seem to be an easy way to extract individual components from a project so that I can package a small library of assets....
It would be easy if i could delete everything in my project but the component I want... and then export. But even then it keeps everything in the library...
What can I do? There must be a quicker way?

Which version of Portal you are using?
Is it 3.0.9 or 9.0.2 ?
For 9.0.2 there is an option to bulk export/import the shared components by way of transport set.

Issue with Shared Components - Report Layouts Download

After my isp provider upgraded from APEX 3.2.1 to 4.0, I am now unable to go into the Shared Components -> Report Layouts section and access an existing report to download my rtf template. Is there another way to go and get this out of the database. I need to update a report layout that is old and I do not have a backup of the original report and do not want to spend the time to recreate.
Thanks,
Mark

If you have TOAD, or if you can install it, by connecting to your database you will be able to access your report layout via the Schema Browser. The whole path should be "All Schemas -> APEX_040000 -> Tables -> WWV_FLOW_REPORT_LAYOUTS". In that table you will find you report layout. Double click on it and copy/paste it into a text editor.
Note: You might need to be granted some rights to access the 400+ tables of the APEX_040000 schema. Or if you have a DBA, ask him to do this for you.
Of course, if you don't want to install TOAD, I bet you could query that table from the SQL Commands of the SQL Workshop, but you would again need the rights to access said table.
Best regards,
Mathieu

Exporting (sharing) just a single scene in the middlw of many scenes?

Exporting (sharing) just a single scene in the middlw of many scenes?
I have just imported a 15 minute clip of some pets
I have split it into 7 scenes
scene 3 is of a dog while all the others are of rabbits
Is it possible, I haven't found a way yet, to export (share), the dog scene on its own to an mpg file and then remove then dog scene and export all the rabbit scenes into a separate mpg file?

Harry,
For more info on the WAB (Work Area Bar), see this article: http://forums.adobe.com/message/3961685#3961685
It is a very useful tool, and can be used for a few other things, beyond just Export/Share.
Good luck,

Images uploaded in Shared Components not displaying

We recently installed version 4.2.1 on a new dedicated server. The entire setup went through without error.
The default images found in apex (/i/apex/builder/ etc.) are all visible. But when we upload any image through Shared Components > Images do not show on screen. An entry is available in the report on the Images page but the image itself is blank. The URL of the image is shown as : "+http://hostname:port/apex/wwv_flow_file_mgr.get_file?p_security_group_id=100000&p_flow_id=100&p_fname=Sampleimage.jpg+". The image is available in the wwv_flow_file_objects$ table and can be viewed through the BLOB_CONTENT column. But it is not visible in the front end.
Is there a solution to this issue?
Thanks,
Aniket

Direct Link to Report layout in Shared Components

Is it possible to put a link on my page that goes directly into the Shared-Components- Report Layouts? I do'nt want my developer users to have to open up the builder to create/upload new (.rtf) Report Layouts.

Yeah
It's
http://host:port/pls/apex/f?p=4000:1400:&APP_SESSION.With the normal substitutions for your setup and removing pls if your using EPG.

How to Clear Cache for an Old Static File in Shared Components

Hello,
I am using Apex 4.1.1.00.23, HTTP Server with mod_plsql, and Oracle Database 10.2.0.5.0.
My situation is as follow:
I have a CSS static file in the shared components that is used in different applications. I recently modified the CSS file, but the changes are not reflected in my applications.
I tried clearing the cache of my browsers, deleting the file from shared components and creating a new one with the same name, and nothing is working.
Using Firebug, I can see that the file used in my pages is the old version of it. Anyone can tell me if the server is caching the file and how can I clear it?
Thank you for your help,
Erick

What kind of document is it (e.g. is this a parsed
HTML file, or a static file)? have you adjusted your
cache settings with the nsfc.conf file? have you
enabled the nsfc report? Are the files stored on NFS
volumes?
Regardless, you can force the cache to be flushed by
enabling the nsfc report, and then accessing the URI
like so:
/nsfc?restart
See the Performance and Tuning Guide:
http://docs.sun.com/source/817-1836-10/perftune.html#w
p17232I tried to to do this. Did n't worked. /nsfc?restart is not working for me. I have IPlanet 6.1 Webserver version. Without having any backend server running, I am getting JSPs displayed from cache!! Please help me out.

Non-application specific static files not visible in shared components

Hello,
We recently upgraded to APEX 4.0.2.00.07. In the past we have uploaded a number of static files with no specific application linked to them.
Now, when I search on these files using Shared Components -> Static Files, I don't find them back.
But, if I directly query the view APEX_WORKSPACE_FILES (using the APEX schema owner), I see all the files. They have APPLICATION_ID = 0 and APPLICATION_NAME is empty.
Is this a bug? I couldn't reproduce this with newly added static files, whether I specify an application or not.

Owen:
Excellent idea/perspective...I did not think of that. Each of our forms/screens has a seperate class file. Each class file has a CreateForm() routine that is called when an instance of the class is intiated behind the menu selection.
Here is a block of code In Main.vb I use to execute a menu selection:
Case "MPA"
'8/30/07 EJD - Work Order Parameters Screen
   If GetFormCount(G_MPAMaint_Form_Type).ToString = "0" Then
           Dim MPAForm As New MPA
           BubbleEvent = False
    Else
           UpdateStatus("Another MPA maintenance screen is already open", SAPbouiCOM.BoStatusBarMessageType.smt_Error)
           BubbleEvent = False
    End If
So, I can utilize this code in the case statement where I was doing the ActivateMenu if I hear you right. Now, can you help me with how I would pass the
variables instead of making them Public Shared in the Main class? Or is it ok to expose them that way?
I Appreciate the help,
Ed

Shared Components Images Create Image does not work

I am using oracle XE on Windows XP.
Uploading an image for an application does not work.
Home>Application Builder>Application 105>Shared Components>Images>Create Image
It goes wrong when I try to upload the image:
- Iexplorer gives an error 404 after pressing the Upload button.
- Firefox just gives an empty page.
When I try to refresh the resulting page (do another post) I get the following error:
Expecting p_company or wwv_flow_company cookie to contain security group id of application owner.
Error ERR-7621 Could not determine workspace for application (:) on application accept.

Report Query wizard error (in Shared Components)

I have been following the <a target="_window" href="http://www.oracle.com/technology/products/database/application_express/howtos/howto_master_detail_pdf.html">How-To Create a Master-Detail PDF Report</a> 
 
I'm using Apex 3.01 and Firefox 2.0.0.7 
 
When I have to create a Report Query in the shared components, I get through the wizard to the Create Report Query Layout page and for some reason, the Previous and Next buttons don't work. The only button that works is the Cancel button. 
It seems to happen after I've downloaded the sample XML file from that page. 
I've also noticed this happens when you go in to edit an existing Report Query and take a download of the XML... 
On closer inspection it seems to be the buttons that have onclick="javascript:doSubmit..." behind them that don't work. Buttons with javascript:confirmDelete seem to still be active and work ok. 
 
But, the problem doesn't happen in IE7. 
 
I found this happened on both my local installation and on my apex.oracle.com instance. 
 
Has anyone else had this behavior or is this some dodgy local setting I have wrong?

Shared Components APEX Report Query and Layout

Does anyone know how to call the report query and layout from the Shared components section from a page within the application?

mtbdude40 wrote:
What I need is this: The ability to create a PDF report with a custom header defining the data (example - select * from emp where deptno = :deptno and the header includes the department name).
I use this white paper as my source: http://www.oracle.com/technetwork/developer-tools/apex/learnmore/custom-pdf-reports-1953918.pdf
You need to build and use a Shared Resource -> Report Queries.
The Report Query will have two queries associated with it (see below).
one query will be for the header information, the other will be for the data.
use the "download" of the "xml data" as your source for Altova/other tools.
If you add/remove/change queries, You'll have to redo your report (from scratch) as that changes the XML Schema required. (at least, with my experience)
Once you get the hang of it, 2x queries is easy (Header, data)
I've experimented with 3x queries (header, master,details) but have been unsuccessful. I have some ideas though ("link" master->detail info via XPath stuff within Altova) but haven't gotten around to testing it.
If you want to run the report for multiple departments....That might require some finesse.
Unfortunately, the Source of the Queries can't be a scalar SQL that returns 1 row of 1 column of data type XMLType....
