Help Needed in Application Express

Hi Experts ,
We recently installed APEX , we want to allow users to create applications, as I am new to this I got these doubts :
1.How we can migrate developed applications to production? Is there a way to turn this migration over to Production Control?
2.How we can limit the size of the tables that users create? ( Because we got some big tables with 3 billion records , so we dont want the users to create big tables from the base tables )
3.Do the results of their reports get saved?If so,do we have control over that? (size, length of time saved )
Please help me in this regards...
Thanks
Venu Kadiyala

Hi Venu,

1.> You have to export the application in development and import it back in production. Every time it will ask for application ID, you can use the exiting application ID as of dev, or assign a new ID or replace an exiting application in production. I would recommend use auto assign a new ID for the first time migration and then onwards choose the third option and provide existing ID so that production URL would remain same.

For exporting follow the path

 Home>Application Builder>Application #>Export / Import>Export
2.> I don’t think you can limit the size of a table directly, but you can write PL-SQL blocks and display appropriate message to the users.

3.> Reports don't get saved. You can have the functionality where you can download the reports in excel or print PDF.

Manish

Please help.. Application Express + Oracle E-Business Suite: Integrated application licensing question

Hi
We are in the process of developing a business application using application express that works more like an extension of Oracle E-Business Suite. Finding an aswer for following question is critical for our small business to move forward with this product development. Request your help please.
Background:
- Our application stored metadata and pl/sql programs in a custom scehema in Oracle E-Busiess Suite.
- We are using Glassfish to host the application express listener to publish/run our application at the moment (development/testing phase)
Our understanding and clarifications needed:
- Our potential client must have an Enterprise level licese on Oracle E-Business Suite in order to allow them to deploy/run our application (3rd party).
- If our potential clients host our application on Oracle HTTP server (from the same box as the Oracle EBS database) then they dont need additional license. Otherwise, they'll have to buy HTTP Server licenses as well?
- What is the best tool (economical and production level performances point of view) to host a 3rd party apex application? Glassfish, Http server, Java standalone?
Please help,
Kind regards
Ebby

Help with installing application express

that´s my problem
I install oracle application express in virtual machine and when I acces yo the web
I got
wwv_flow.app_not_found_footer_err
please some helps .. only I know the version of the owa is not geater
the version of APEX is 3.2
and I was looking in other pages on internet and tells that i have to
Confirm the PL/SQL Web Toolkit version is 10.1.2.0.6 or greater
my version Web Toolkit version is 10.1.2.0.4 so I think could be the problem ,
I all ready update the version but the problem is the same

Hello,
Did you already look in your log of the apex installation. Are you sure everything ran ok and you didn't have any errors?
As far as I know it's or the owa package which is not correct or an incomplete install of APEX.
Did you try to recompile the invalid objects already? @?/rdbms/admin/utlrp.sql
If all of that doesn't work I would try to reinstall APEX.

Help Needed with Airport Express

Hi All,
I have recently purchased a new Airport Express with AirTunes and installed the Airport Setup on my laptop as provided on the CD. I am using the Windows Wireless Zero Configuration service to connect to the wireless networks.
I am able to connect to my internet connection (MTNL Broadband service) using the AEX, but to my surprise Airport Setup Assistant finds the AEX in the scan but is not able to connect to it. However in the background I can see the network connection is established.
Also the Aiport Admin Utility is not able to even find the AEX in the scan. However if I type the IP address of the AEX on the 'Other' option then it makes a successful connection and show me the dialog box with the AEX properties.
Would appreciate if anybody could help.
Thanks,
Gaurav

Most/many cable modems require that they be reset whenever you switch the Ethernet connection from one device to another. This usually means that you need to power off the cable modem for a minute or two. When the cable modem powers up it will detect the new device and talk to it.
Some cable modems have a reset button. Some cable modems have a small internal battery which must be removed to do the reset.
Sometimes the cable modem must be turned off overnight to reset equipment back at the ISP.
Have you don this? I didn't see mention of it in your post.

Help needed in JSP Expression Language

Hi all,
I have been working for JSP Expression Language Sample execution since past 5 days. I am using the application server as "Jboss Server" and web server as "Tomcat".
I have been included the jsp-api.jar file in my lib directory of application server as well as source folder's lib directory.
When i am trying to build the source code, i am getting this build error.
[javac] D:\eclipse\workspace\esolvProject\development\src\com\esolv\taglibs\
web\classes\SetSupport.java:186: cannot resolve symbol
[javac] symbol : method getExpressionEvaluator ()
[javac] location: class javax.servlet.jsp.PageContext
[javac] ExpressionEvaluator evaluator = pageContext.getExpressionEvaluator();
In my jsp-api.jar , there are two classes called,
PageContext and JspContext, Both are abstract classes.
PageContext inherits JspContext class. JspContext class have the method getExpressionEvaluator() , returns ExpressionEvaluator.
PageContextImpl - class . it has been called internally when we are trying to call PageContext class. In PageContextImpl class, there is one comment before, the method's definition. that is
" Since JSP 2.0 "
But we have the JSP 2.0 version. But it won't work.
Please help me ont this.
Thanks in Advance,
Natraj

>
If the pblm was due to setting the classpath.
The error should be showed for all files in the jar
file.
why i am getting the error for particular method ?
it is accessing the other methods of same class
'JspContext' . but it is not accessing that method.
Thats my question.
Just check that your .jar file is 2.0 compliant and that you do not have any other jars(for servlet or jsp api) in the classpath.
Probably you have an older version of .jar file in your path. So the errors will appear only for those methods that have been added since 2.0, all other methods would compile fine.
Please tell me the jar files to work out the
expression language. so that i can cross check my
list of jars.Hmmm...I dont use jboss. In tomcat the jar file name is jsp-api.jar. But it would have been the same even for jsp1.1, going by jar file names wouldnt help. Just look at your cp as if with a microscope to identify redundant jars.
cheers,
ram.

Help needed regarding regular expressions

hello
i need to write a program that recieves a matematical expression and evaluates
it...in other words a calculator :)
i know i need to use regular expressions inorder to determine if the input is legal or not ,but i'm really having trouble setting the pattern
the expression can be in the form : Axxze2223+log(5)+(2*3)*(5+4)
where Axxze2223 is a variable(i.e a combination of letters and numbers.)
where as: l o g (5) or log() or Axxx33aaaa or () are illegal
i tried to set the pattern but i got exceptions or it just didnt work the way i wanted it .
here's what i tried to do at least for the varibale form:
"\\s*(*([a-zA-Z]+\\d)+)*\\s*";
i'm really new to this...and i can't seem to set the pattern by using regular expressions,how can i combine all the rules to one string?
any help or references would be appreciated
thanks

so i'll explain
let's say i got token "abc22c"(let's call it "token")
i wan't to check if it's legal
i define:
String varPattern = "\\s*[a-zA-Z]+\\d+\\s*";If you want to check a sequence of ASCII characters, longer than one, followed by a single digit, the whole possibly surrounded by spaces -- yes.
>
now i want to check if it's o.k
so i check:
token.matches(varPattern);
am i correct?Quite. It's better to compile the Pattern (Pattern.compile(String)), create a java.util.regex.Matcher (Pattern#matcher(CharSequence)), and test the Matcher for Matcher#matches().
(Class.method -> static method, Class#method -> instance method)
>
now i'm having problem defining pattern for log()
sin() cos()
that brackets are mandatory ,and there must be an
expression inside
how do i do that?First, I'd check the overall function syntax (a valid name, brackets), then whether what's inside the brackets is a valid expression (maybe empty), then whether that expression is valid for that function (presumably always?).
I might add I'm no expert on parsing, so that's more a supposition than a guide.

Standard search help need for application directories

Hi All,
I have a created ztable.I want to assign a search help to this Z table field.
I need a search help which contains the apllication directories.
Is there any standarda serch help avliable to assign the application directories to the Z field of ztable.
Thanks,

I don't think there is a standard search help available, but there is a function which provides a F4 dialog box to search app server directories... You can try creating your own search help with it.

Thanks in advance.

Well..Personally i feel regex on this would be a tough job. You try creating a temp file and pass your xml string along. Then try using org.w3c.dom on it. Something like :
String xmlString = "Your XML String";
 File temp = null;
 try {
 temp = File.createTempFile("test",".xml");
 temp.deleteOnExit();
 BufferedWriter out = new BufferedWriter(new FileWriter(temp));
 out.write(xmlString);
 out.close();
 } catch (IOException e) {
 e.printStackTrace();
 }Or you could actually create a physical file, if space and credentials permit, access it from a physical location and try using DOM in it.. Cant think of anything better now.

Help need with this expression

I am trying to calculate the ratio... so basically doing the adding two textboxes different textboxes and then diving them with the the sum of two different textboxes... but i am getting an #error..
=(iif(reportItems!Textbox76.Value = nothing,"0.00",reportItems!Textbox76.Value) + iif(reportitems!Textbox94.Value = nothing,"0.00",reportitems!Textbox94.Value)) / iif(((IIF(reportitems!Textbox69.Value = nothing,"0.00",reportitems!Textbox69.Value) + iif(reportitems!Textbox85.Value = nothing,"0.00",reportitems!Textbox85.Value))) = "0.00",1,((IIF(reportitems!Textbox69.Value = nothing,"0.00",reportitems!Textbox69.Value) + iif(reportitems!Textbox85.Value = nothing,"0.00",reportitems!Textbox85.Value))))
Thanks
Karen

Hi Karen,
I have tested the expression below, it turn out that if one of textboxes's value contain the character except number, then the result of this expression is #Error.
In your scenario, please ensure that there is no any #Error for the below expression:
=Cint(ReportItems!TextBox76.Value)
=Cint(ReportItems!TextBox94.Value)
=Cint(ReportItems!TextBox69.Value)
=Cint(ReportItems!TextBox85.Value)
If you have any questions, please feel free to ask.

Help needed with application: "could not find the main class"

I am pretty new to java and am trying to figure out applications a bit now. The one im working on does run within my editor, but when i "test" it or try to run it from within a .jar file it returns a "could not find the main class" error.
I have a code similar to this:
public class user{
public static void main(String[] args){
new user();
public user{
Does this have to do with it? I've been trying to get this right for a couple of days now, I just wanna be able to run it (on either my pc or another) without starting the Editor.
Looking forward to receiving an answer..

It sounds like you are missing the Main-Class attribute in your manifest file. Create a file 'manifest.mf' with the following line 'Main-Class: user'
Then include that manifest in your jar:
'jar -cfm user.jar manifest.mf user.class'
Then run the jar: 'java -jar user.jar'

Cross tab reports in application express

Hi,
Can a cross tab report be generated with the help of Oracle Application Express?
Lavina

Lavina - you can cheat and create a very simple report like this:
Use a PL/SQL dynamic region. Within your PL/SQL, query the database to get the data in rows rather than columns (which is normally much easier and allows the number of items to be dynamic) and set a cursor on the result.
Start an HTML TABLE block, loop through the cursor once for each column of the resultset and output each row as a table column (i.e. 'sideways', with td tags rather than tr tags, or th tags for the first). You can also put in CSS formatting etc., then close off the table at the end. The idea here is that you build up an HTML table with your data in the cells, and pass it back to the browser using an htp.p() call.
It's a bit crude, and you don't get any of the APEX stuff that goes with the report, but it's OK for very simple reports. We use this technique for creating reports that show the data that was used to generate charts.

Need help on installing Oracle Application express 3.2

Hi,
I had downloaded Oracle 11g database and installed the personal edition.I got the Enterprise manager login page working and also the DBConsole
I had Downloaded APEX 3.2 and wanted to install apex 3.2.I wanted to do the following scenario
Scenario 3: Install from the Database and Configure the Embedded PL/SQL
Gateway
Planning to do these steps: ( I have few questions on these steps and are below each step)
■ Running the apxconf.sql Configuration Script
Do I have to install Oracle Application express or is it already installed in 11g personal edition?
Do I have to create a seperate database or schema for this step( I have only one instance orcl1) ?■ Verifying the Oracle XML DB HTTP Server Port
Can I do this step in my current orcl1 instance,if so which user■ Enabling Oracle XML DB HTTP Server
Once I carry out these steps, Can I access the admin page for apex with https://localhost:port/apex_admin ?
Am I missing any other steps ?
Thanks

I have one idea..
Try to install again:
1) download and unzip apex_3.2 in $ORACLE_HOME
You will have:
$ORACLE_HOME/apex - old directory
$ORACLE_HOME/apex_3.2 - new directory
2) in command line go to $ORACLE_HOME/apex_3.2/apex
run sqlplus "/as sysdba"
in sqlplus run @apexins tablespace_apex tablespace_files tablespace_temp images
Where:
tablespace_apex is the name of the tablespace for the Oracle Application Express application user.
tablespace_files is the name of the tablespace for the Oracle Application Express files user.
tablespace_temp is the name of the temporary tablespace.
images is the virtual directory for Oracle Application Express images. To support future Oracle Application Express upgrades, define the virtual image directory as /i/.
Example:
@apexins SYSAUX SYSAUX TEMP /i/
3) check installation log for errors
4) in command line go to $ORACLE_HOME/apex_3.2/apex
run sqlplus "/as sysdba"
in sqlplus run @apxconf
set admin password
set port
5) run @apxldimg.sql $ORACLE_HOME/apex_3.2
6) check for running listener and try to login apex: http:\\host:port\apex\apex_admin
Good luck!

Problems installing Application Express - Help Please

Hi
I have the personal edition of oracle and i have a database instance set up in entreprise manager. Now I'm trying to install application express to the database via SQL Plus. I run into two problems
1. It says in the document that you need to log into SQL as SYS rather than SYSMAN, when I do log in as SYS i get the error message saying that I need to choose either SYSDBA or SYSOPER so I do rather than normal but I need a username/password to log in and I don't know what Username/password they are referring to. I tried a couple of usernames and passwords already and have been unsuccessful.
2. So instead of logging in as SYS, I logged into the SQL Plus as SYSMAN. I load the apexin.sql file onto the SQL Plus and I push on execute. The it asks me to enter the 5 things, so i enter "password, SYSAUX, SYSAUX, temp, /i/" and i get the error message "SP2-0916: Scheme not supported"
I have tried several times already. I am working off a toshiba Satellite P200 and it is windows Vista. What am I do wrong please HELP!
Carol

Hi there I'm still running into some trouble here
When I am logged into my Enterprise Manager as SYS on my laptop
I scroll to the bottom to open up iSQL plus and once I'm in, I get to the iSQL Plus Role Connection and there is 3 choices - 1) Normal 2) SYSOPER 3) SYSDBA
I can log into normal with SYSMAN but when i choose SYS, it tells me that I must choose either SYSOPER or SYSDBA
If I choose either of those, I get another login pop up saying that I need to log into the DBA system, but I don't know what username/password they are referring to. I tried logging into iSQL plus and tried executing sys/<sys password> as sysdba but it doesn't work. Please help!
