Forum Sticky???

Is the forum sticky today?
Or is it just my neck of the woods ....

Well suprisingly for me it seems fine today.
(so far)
Although, I've been having my latest bout since the 26/11 - http://community.bt.com/t5/Forum-Guidance-Ideas/Browser-Forum-oddness/m-p/73861#M1474
Kerry is involved, tracerts sent by me and awaiting the outcome...

APEX Forum Sticky

After starting to update the OTN forum FAQ, I decided that I would try to get the APEX 'Welcome to the forum' sticky amended to include links to docs, and maybe some amended ettiquette guidlelines etc.
To this end I contacted Sharon Kennedy at Oracle who owns the thread and she has agreed that if we, as a community, can come up with the new wording and I e-mail it to her, she will put the content up for us!
This is a great opportunity for us, so please get your comments in and I'll start writing something up. I think I leave this thread going for a week so that everying can get their ideas in before coming up with a final version.
This has been suggested on numerous occasions and each time nothing has come of it, so I decided to take action!
Maker the most of the opportunity (remember it can also save you a lot of posting because we can just refer people to this one place).
Cheers
Ben

Link to known issues page - http://www.oracle.com/technetwork/developer-tools/apex/40-known-issues-159870.html
To that end, the best way to report a bug - should it not be in known issues?
Calling a procedure from the browser (incase its not working). http://daust.blogspot.com/2006/04/xe-calling-stored-procedures.html ; not sure if this should be included, but it seems to be a common problem.

APEX Forum sticky announcement: suggested changes to content

Would it be possible to reconsider the content of the Forums Etiquette / Reward Points sticky announcement on the Application Extress forum?
For the benefit of those whose first language isn't English (or indeed French), could the archaic word Etiquette be removed, by changing the subject line to, for example: How to use this forum or Forum best practices etc. It's possible some users don't recognise the term "etiquette" and therefore don't find and read the guidance within.
- When asking a question, provide all the details that someone would need to answer it. Consulting documentation first is highly recommended. It would be useful if what these details should be was spelled out: APEX version, database version, table descriptions, sample data, SQL or PL/SQL already tried, browser(s) and version(s) etc.
As well as recommending consulting the documentation, a link to the APEX documentation page would also be helpful.
Addtionally, a suggestion to try searching the forum (with link to search page) before posting should be included: a huge number of questions in this forum are answered in previous threads.

Is something up with forum?

I search 'Number / Date Format' and nothing comes up. One item returns when I search 'interactive.'
Hmmmm
All I need to know is how to format a date field as 4/29/1962 in an interactive report. Wizard doesn't give me that choice.
Tried javascript:passback('MM/DD/YYYY');

Srini,
Since the current search is less than optimal -- ha, less than adequate, and
Since we have a sticky thread for "Welcome to the forum",
Therefore, can someone produce a "How to successfully search the forum" sticky thread?
How long would that take -- a couple of hours -- perhaps less time than a discussion of whether or not it should be done? As the forums are soon to be upgraded to a new version of the software, where the searching should (hopefully) work... do it really matter?

MSI StarForce FX5200-VT128

Well, before starting, let me say that I only have a few hairs left on my head, I pulled them all out in the last 36 hours. I'm all out of options and you seem my last hope.
-- skip if you don't want details --
You see, I got this card, with a box that said "FX5200 VT-128". Box looked nice, it had an embeded tuner that wasn't ATI (I thew it out the window, it it responsible for me wearing a wigg), remote control (RF), and a rather new nVIDIA FX chipset that I heard good things about. Besides, I know nVIDIA drivers to be a one-click install and work flawlessly (at least they did so far)
So I got this card into my W2k SP4 box, DX8.1, installed the nVIDIA CD, personal cinema setup. Then the drivers from the MSI disk. Rebooted, and the option to install video capture drivers appeared. Did so and Intervideo WinDVR was displaying TV, stereo sound and all. Yey! Remote controlled TV.
Then the storm came. I got this CATV modem and the installation died at some point. New W2k, SP4, fresh install. Installed the software, drivers, got a BSOD. Mrrr. Went on and installed the web version of the drivers. No dice. Upgraded to DX9. Nope. And so on and so forth, I've been up 36 hours now and I'm turning a redish tint.
IT DOES NOT WORK ANY MORE!
-- end of skip --
It worked before. Nothing changed. Same card, same TV, same software, same OS. Tried 3 versions of drivers, all work fine on the video card, but TV tuner does not work, as follows:
44.02 (on CD) - Remote control does not work (There is an FAQ on the site about this, says upgrade driver but link is broken, needs "&kind=10" at the end). WinDVR hangs, so do all other WDM tuners.
53.04 (the one in the FAQ) - remote control still dies, as opposed to the FAQ. WinDVR hangs
56.64 - bad - remote control dies(against what MSI says), windvr does not tune
I currently have v44.02 on video card with capture drivers v2.2, still does not tune. By this I mean that TV apps start, display window that is actually TV, except that it's some kind of start-of-band (distorted, mis-tuned TV station, probably beginning of VHF-L). If I try to autoscan, tune to something, change input, switch pal/secam/ntsc, NOTHING HAPPENS. It's as if the driver got read-only. WinDVR either crashes or scans at about 8 channels/second (used to do around one/s)
You might want to know what else do I want except complaining
Well, please, PLEASE, if anyone has Windows 2000 SP4 and this card (that lists as Personal Cinema FX 5200, as opposed to the box, that states FX5200-VT128), tell me what configuration you have.
Tell me what DX version, what video card driver version (Device manager>Display Adapters > Properties > Driver) and what Capture Drivers you own (check the same for nVIDIA WDM Tuner). And patches, order of install, anything I haven't tried.
I have GIGS of software to put in this installation and I can't start if I need a fresh install.
Also, as a bottom note, I read most of the forum, sticky posts, googled, nothing shows. I'm a system admin and a coder, in a word, a professional, so don't waste time on details if you don't feel like it. Just point me in the right direction.
W2k Pro SP4
DX9.0
Personal Cinema FX5200 (VT128)
512 RAM
Intel 2.8G HT (HT disabled) - It worked with HT enabled, too.
Intel PERL 68something mobo

La mine merge, dar merge ca dracu! (ma refer la tuner, ca restul merge, mai putin telecomanda pentru ca mi-au vandut placa cu IR Receiver si Telecomanda RF, basca un un disc cu soft schimbat!! )
NVARemote fails at software level, but the hardware works (so what?). It is a known bug that NVRemote does not work with 44.03 drivers. Well now it's known that it does not work with others either.

tunerul merge dar prinde de cate 2-3 ori acelasi post, dintre care numai o data acceptabil (dar asta s-ar putea sa fie si problema cablului),
Hint: visit Germany - cable, Romania is poorly configured (if you read help, only Romania and China use PAL_D, which is outrageous)

captura de pe camera video merge dar in timp ce inregistrez ceva "crapa" softul cu mesaj windows de eroare!.
Mine worked, it worked just fine... I swear it worked with 44.03 and capture. But now I have too many attempts at the river and MSI install disk no longer shows the option to install capture drivers.
By the way, installing WDM Tuner (NVTUNEP.SYS) reboots my NT5. HInts?

Questions on SETSPN syntax and what is required for MANUAL AD auth

I'll preface this by stating that I don't need to do all the extra stuff for Vintela SSO, SSO to database, etc. I just need to know precisely what is necessary to do to get AD authentication working. I managed to get it working in XIr2 previously but it's been so long and I'm not 100% sure that everything I wound up doing was absolutely necessary that I wanted to sort it out for good as we look at going to XI 3.1 SP3.
In the XI 3.1 SP3 admin guide, page 503, the SETSPN command which is
used as part of the setup process to establish a service account to
enable AD authentication is outlined as follows:
SETSPN.exe -A <ServiceClass>/<DomainName> <Serviceaccount>
The guide suggests that the <ServiceClass> can be anything you want to
arbitrarily assign. If I choose something other than the
suggested "BOBJCentralMS" value, is there anywhere else I have to
specify this value to allow the service account to function properly?
The guide suggests that the <DomainName> should be the domain name on
which the service account exists however I've seen many posts online which seem to
indicate this <DomainName> should actually be the FQDN of the server
running the CMS service instead of the general domain name.
Clarification there would be very helpful if anyone has some insight.

The CMS account can have an SPN of spaghetti/meatballs, there are no requirements (cept 2 characters on each side of the / I believe). The SPN created should be the value entered in the CMC > Authentication > Windows AD
The account must run the SIA and it therefore must have AD permissions. Now if you are using IIs or client tools you don't even need an SPN. The SPN is for kerberos only which is required for java app servers.
The vintela SSO white paper in the this forums sticky post explains the roles of a service account.

Tim

Apex conditional field in "SQL Query (updateable report)" region

I have a multi-row region that displays values and allows entries in a number of fields. I should like the fields to be conditional in that they do not permit entry, but still display, if certain conditions apply (e.g. older rows greyed out). Can this be done?
I have searched Google and this forum but all the threads I have found relate to field formatting or display/non-display.

SQL Query (updateable report) Region - Conditionally Hide and Set Values

SQL Query (updateable report) Region - Conditionally Hide and Set Values
Outline of requirement :-
Master / Detail page with Detail updated on same page using SQL Query (updateable report).
The detail region has the following source
SELECT item_id,
       contract_id,
       CASE WHEN hardware_id IS NOT NULL THEN
               'HA'
            WHEN backup_dev_id IS NOT NULL THEN
               'BD'
            WHEN hardware_os_id IS NOT NULL THEN
               'HS'
       END item_type,
       hardware_id,
       backup_dev_id,
       hardware_os_id
FROM   "#OWNER#".support_items
WHERE contract_id = :P26_CONTRACT_IDThe table support_items implements arced relationships and has the following columns
CREATE TABLE SUPPORT_ITEMS
ITEM_ID         NUMBER                        NOT NULL,
CONTRACT_ID     NUMBER                        NOT NULL,
HARDWARE_ID     NUMBER,
BACKUP_DEV_ID   NUMBER,
HARDWARE_OS_ID NUMBER
)A check type constaint on support_items ensures that only one of the fk's is present.
      (    hardware_id    IS NOT NULL
       AND backup_dev_id IS NULL
       AND hardware_os_id IS NULL
OR    (    hardware_id    IS NULL
       AND backup_dev_id IS NOT NULL
       AND hardware_os_id IS NULL
OR    (    hardware_id    IS NULL
       AND backup_dev_id IS NULL
       AND hardware_os_id IS NOT NULL
      )    Hardware_Id is a FK to Hardware_Assets
Backup_dev_id is a FK to Backup_Devices
Hardware_os_id is a FK to Hardware_op_systems
The Tabular Form Element based on item_type column of SQL query is Displayed As Select List (based on LOV) referencing a named list of values which have the following properties
Display Value     Return Value
Hardware Asset    HA
Backup Device     BD
Computer System   HSThe Tabular Form Elements for the report attributes for hardware_id, backup_dev_id and hardware_os_id are all Displayed As Select List (Based on LOV).
What I want to do is only display the Select List for the FK depending on the value of the Select List on Item Type, e.g.
Item_Type is 'HA' then display Select List for hardware_id, do not display and set to NULL the Select Lists for backup_dev_id and hardware_os_id.
Item_Type is 'BB' then display Select List for backup_dev_id, do not display and set to NULL the Select Lists for hardware_id and hardware_os_id.
Item_Type is 'HS' then display Select List for hardware_os_id, do not display and set to NULL the Select Lists backup_dev_id and hardware_id.
There are properties on elements to conditionally display it but how do we reference the values of the SQL query Updateable region? they are not given a page item name?
Also on the Tabular For Elements there is an Edit tick against a report item - however when you go to the Column Attributes there is not a property with which you can control the Edit setting.
What's the best way of implementing this requirement in APEX 3.1?
Thanks.

If you expect a detailed answer then it's appropriate for you to take on a significant part of the effort by getting as far as possible with an example of the problem on apex.oracle.com before asking for assistance with specific issues, which we can then see at first hand.
I have a multi-row region that displays values and allows entries in a number of fields.Provide exact details of how this has been implemented. (An example on apex.oracle.com is always a good way to do this.)
I should like the fields to be conditional in that they do not permit entry, but still display, if certain conditions apply (e.g. older rows greyed out). Can this be done? Almost anything can be done, often in multiple ways. Which are appropriate may be dependent on a particular implementation, the skills available to implement it, and the effort you're willing to expend on it. Hence it's necessary to provide full details of what you've done so far...

Authentication issue with Xcelsius/Portal integration

I am facing an issue with the way we have integrated our Xcelsius dashboard with our corporate portal. I know this probably is more of a SDK question than Administration, but I figured I will ask it here anyway since Tim and some others are diverse enough in their knowledge base. This might be LONG post but please advise if anyone has any good pointers.
We have an Xcelsius dashboard that needs to be served up via our corporate intranet (based on MS Sharepoint 2007). Now we are NOT using the MS Sharepoint Portal Integration Kit, but just doing a basic integration of the SWF call within a web part on Sharepoint. All this means is that within a portlet (web-part) on Sharepoint, I am making a HTTP call to the openDocument URL to invoke the SWF file. So the SWF is actually served up from our Tomcat App Server, and displayed onto this frame within the portal. That is the basic idea.
To achieve this, what I did was write some custom code using the Java SDK to modify the openDocument a little bit. By doing so, I was able to insert some behind-the-scenes-login code wherein no matter who the portal user (Win AD-based) is, he is logged in to BOE as a generic "dashboard-user" and the dashboard is served up. This worked fine for the first dashboard where all we had was SWF and some WebI linking using openDocument (no full-InfoView access).
But in this second dashboard now, what we also have is a hyperlink for users to get to InfoView to do Ad-hoc reporting. What this does is open a child browser window from within the portal (dashboard) --- and it remembers the BOE session for the generic user id "dashboard-user" and logs the end-user in to InfoView using that. But what I actually want is that the end-users, on this new window, should only be prompted at the traditional InfoView logon screen where they can manually enter their Windows AD password and get in. Thus, I would like to keep the dashboard SWF page session separate from the InfoView ad-hoc session, which I cannot seem to do because of the browser relationship and session maintenance.
I am trying to find a way where I can simulate a single sign-on for dashboard viewers on the portal, but at the same time let them jump off to InfoView as themselves.
Any thoughts on how I can do this?
Notes:
We DO NOT have Single Sign-On enabled for InfoView
We are using Windows AD authentication (manual, no SSO)
We are on Tomcat

1) If the InfoView app on Tomcat (desktoplaunch) is configured with Vintela, openDocument calls from the portal with automatically work using behind the scenes SSO, correct?
in XIR2 everything that falls under infoview should SSO when infoview is setup for SSO (not the case in XI 3.x)

2) What is the best practice when it comes to the service accounts needed? I have implemented Windows AD manual auth already so I have a service account that use for that. Should I be using the same on and making vintela/SSO-specific changes to it...or should I have a separate vintela service account and deal with two different ones..each for a diff purpose?
There is no best practice per se but the less service account the lower your chances to duplicate an SPN, functionally everything seems to work just as well with multiple as it does with 1 (of course with 1 there is less management work) If you click the SSO link in my forum sticky post I have a section explaining this with some suggested methods of deploying a service account(s)

3) Other than some minor browser configurations that might be required, is there anything else that I should communicate to the team about what might be required to be "pushed" to users' PCs?
Using the default config nothing should be required on the client machine (unless SSO has been disabled in the browser or you intend to use a url that contains a period ..... (i.e. FQDN or IP) with hostname URL (the default) it should just work.
To note if you have XP SP2 or older there is a microsoft spnego bug you may need to apply a fix if you aren't patched to SP3 (about 5% of our customers run into this).

Interactive report search hidden column

I have a comment column in an interactive report (form with report) and I want the user to be able to search records on that column but I don't want to display that column in the report - it's just too big and the user can click on the edit icon to see that detail anyway. Is this possible?
Thank you!

Interactive report - order column by other column values

Hi Oracle experts,
could you please advise how to order column A by values of column B in Interactive report ?
When clicking on header of "Countries" column in order to sort it acs/desc I would like to order it by values of column "Sort_order" which stores values from 1 to 100.
The goal is to order "Countries" not alphabetically, but according to values of "Sort_order" column.
Any ideas?
Thanks in advance for your help.
Best regards,
Konrad

Any ideas?I'm not an expert on Interactive Reports, so there may be a less brute force method using the built-in features, but here's an approach that's worked in the past.
Modify the query to generate the column as:
'' || countryi.e. prefix the country name with an HTML comment containing the required ordinal number. This won't be visible in the report, but will be considered when sorting in SQL.
In the IR Column Attributes set the column's Display Text As property to Standard Report Column so APEX won't escape the HTML tags.
This method has side effects: some IR filters won't work; aggregate calculations can't be applied to the column; and report exports contain the HTML rather than the expected value.
Edited by: fac586 on 02-Oct-2012 13:28
From APEX 4.2 IR columns have support for HTML Expressions, so Re: Report formatting/sorting issue using a hidden column and HTML Expression should be used, as it's purely declarative and provides better separation of concerns. (Still a problem on report exports though. Whilst the sort column can be suppressed using a condition, the hidden column can't be "unhidden" to replace it.)

Image is not displayed in APEX Form with APEX utility Function

Dear APEX experts,
As i am new to the oracle apex development. I have just created the basic employee information form in which i upload the photograph of the employee. The photograph gets uploaded but it does not display properly. I have already referred the sample database application to display the image. Moreover, i have followed the same steps as it is used to display the product image in that application. Still i am unable to get result. I am getting following output:
<img src="apex_util.get_blob_file?a=35682&s=101496289174102&p=15&d=10639237623242912156&i=10639236703270912154&p_pk1=21&p_pk2=&p_ck=FCA12832591A1C706D76FDD589E551A2" />
Please help me seniors to solve this issue. How to display the image using this utility.

I have observed following HTML code after inspecting the two application.

2.Sample HRMS Application - Which i have created for learning.
In this application , the employee photo is uploaded but it is not displayed correctly. Following is code is rendered in the HTML.
"<span id="P15_EMPIMG" class="display_only" ><img src="apex_util.get_blob_file?a=35682&s=100541516379272&p=15&d=10639237623242912156&i=10639236703270912154&p_pk1=21&p_pk2=&p_ck=31A8328E0F5754D7CBD0FC0C6313B38A" /></span>"
Hence , in my application the code is not rendered perfectly and syntax is not completed.
following characters are rendered like this.: &lt , &quot , &gt , &amp.
So, is this the reason of not displaying the image???Yes.
To get a Display Item to render as HTML, in the item definition Security section set Escape special characters to No.
For a report column, ensure the Display Text As report column attribute is Standard Report Column rather than the default Display as Text (escape special characters).
Use a Display Image item and declarative BLOB support instead of this clunky manual method.
Please read the FAQ and forum sticky threads (if you haven't done so already.
