How to open application twice in same browser (cookie problem?)

We want to be able to open the same Apex application for a test and a production system simultaneously. Settings between the two environments can then be easily compared for example. Unfortunately it seems that both sessions place information in the same cookie and navigation in one application influences the other.
The workaround we use it to run both sessions in a different browser i.e. IE and FF.
Is there another way around this?

The cookie name you enter in the authentication scheme seems to be a static field. We deliver standard software packages so that value will be the same for every installation. Unless the value can be determined at runtime?
@Dietmar
That could be a workaround. What contributes to the problem is that although test and production usually run on different DB servers the Apex listeners run on one server but on different ports.We had the same situation. The problem is that the cookie does not distinguish between different ports.
Our solution was to setup the apex listener/OHS slightly differently. I think it was inside the mod_plsql config or http.conf, where you can set the url path.
Meaning instead of connecting to
<pre>http://localhost:8080/pls/<b>apex</b></pre>
we connect to
<pre>http://localhost:8080/pls/<b>apexdev</b></pre>
The result is that the cookie path is different. And there will be a new cookie for each path. And as long as all the environments have a different path, their cookies will all be separatly stored from each other.
However if you use the EPG, I'm not sure how this setting can be changed.

How to open "AppServer Control" in same browser window as "Launch Control"?

When I start the SOA Suite start web page ""SOA Launch Control" and I click e.g.
on the link "Application Server Control" then another browser window is opened
for the "Enterprise Manager".
Is there a way to tell the SOA Suite to open the new web page inside the
current "Launch Control" web page (=replace the current "Launch Control"
web page) ?

You can look this extension if you want to sign on with different identities at the same time:
* Multifox: http://br.mozdev.org/multifox/
You can also use multiple profiles to rule out issues caused by extensions or other changes that you've made in your current Firefox profile as posted above.

* http://kb.mozillazine.org/Shortcut_to_a_specific_profile
* http://kb.mozillazine.org/Using_multiple_profiles_-_Firefox
Use the -no-remote command line switch to open another Firefox instance with its own profile if you want to run different Firefox versions simultaneously.

Multiple Logins - Same Browser Cookie Problems??

Is there any Issues in which a User uses Tabs to Login (LDAP Authentication)?
I have only a Cookie Name in the Cookie Attributes in Authentication Setup.
I had multiple browsers opened and signed on an application. A :tx- row lock contention was evident..
INSERT INTO WWV_FLOW_DATA ( FLOW_INSTANCE, ITEM_ID, ITEM_VALUE ) VALUES ( :B4 , :B3 , :B2 ||':'||:B1 ||':0:0')
Can someone explain what happened here, and does multiple logins have to be prevented?
Should I add a Cookie Path and Domain to prevent this?
Thanks,
Mike

Mike,
I need a more detailed scenario to follow. I'm not even sure you are saying that something did not work properly.
FYI, cookies have no presence in session state.

How to Open Application just once !

I created a simple application but I dont want that my application be opened twice !
How to verify if my application is already running ???
If it is running is there any way to communicate with it ?
Tnx !

Hi,
There are several possibilities for this situation.
1 - first session gains a lock on a certain file (with a predefined or hard-coded name and location)
second session will be unable to gain a lock on the same file and will thus know that the
application is already up and running.
2 - first session opens a port (with a predefined or hard-coded number).
first session writes some opening message to this port.
first session starts a thread which will listen to this port each ... minutes/seconds.
second session opens port, writes some opening message to this port
first session receives the message through the port and will reply some notification
and request for closing session 2.
session 2 will close.
Several solutions are possible for running a limited number of occurences of the same application,
for running all applications within the same JVM, and more specific control over the startup-process.
Different kinds of information for controlling this setup-step can be transferred via (known) files and ports.
Also take a look at sockets and java RMI.
kind regards,
Koen

Opening hyperlinks in the same browser window

Hey Gang!
How does one create a hyperlink such that it opens in the
same browser window and doesn't keep opening a new window each
time?
Cheers!
Gregory

Do you meant that you want to "open the hyperlinks of your flash file in the same browser window"
You flash file will be put on the internet and I think you have to configure your brower to achieve this goal.
We all know that IE can be configured to open the hyperlinks in the same window.
Thus if you want your flash file achieve this feature you need to write a code to control your brower.
This code can be a simple JS code. You can just google this to find out the answer.
good luck
I love using flash quiz generator

HOW TO OPEN APPLICATION SERVER GRID CONTROL

hi,

how to know path to put in browser ?

I think Metalink NOTE:280116.1 covers changing the ias_admin password when it's forgotten.
Basically, you edit $ORACLE_HOME/sysman/j2ee/config/jazn-data.xml and remove the <credentials> property.
Then you can reset the password with: $ORACLE_HOME\bin\emctl set password reset <new password>
Or, sounds like you can put the password into jazn-data.xml (NOTE:280587.1) by editing the <credentials> property:
Replace the existing encrypted password with the new password.
Be sure to prefix the password with an exclamation point (!). For example:
<credentials>!mynewpassword123</credentials>

Is it possible for multiple/different hyperlinks to open up in the SAME browser window?

I am able to put hyperlinks to various web pages in a PDF document. When I click on the first one, it opens up in a new browser window. The problem is that I want each subsequent link to reuse that same browser window. This seems to work when I open up the PDF document from my desktop, but if the document is first loaded into a web page, each link opens up a *new* browser window.

Hi Pat,
Thanks for the quick response.
I used Adobe Acrobat Professional 8 to create the document. I added a link and then in the "Actions" property for the link, I specified
"Run a javascript": app.launchURL("http://www.cnnfn.com", true) .
I had to use the app.launchURL method because the "Open a Web Link" action causes a warning message to appear when the PDF is contained in web page. You have to first click "Open in a new window" before the url is opened up in a new browser window. The behavior that we want is that each time you click on a hyperlink on the PDF, you are automatically taken to a specific browser window (without warning and reusing the window that has already been opened).

How to open multiple instances of same form thru menu items

i'm not able to open another instance of the form.....if i want to open multiple instances of same form ...what should i do???

Hi Shenaz,
To open multiple instances of the same form you need to set a different FormUID to each form you open.
So lets say your FormType is MyFormXPTO. You need can set the FormUID as MyFormXPTO_1, MyFormXPTO_2, and so on.
If you need a code samples, take a look at this post.

One solution would be to generate the report via an servlet which you then call with an af:golink with an target frame set to blank.

How to determine which type of files I can open in browser!

I think this depends on your browser settings. Try this:
1. In your Windows Explorer open the Advanced menue
2. Go to "Options" and click the tab "File Extensions"
3. Find the extension .doc and click on "Advanced" button
4. Check the check box "Open in the same Window"
5. Confirm

How to Open Hyperlink in a New Browser?

Hi,
I have a hyperlink in my report that takes the user to a webpage and from my ASP application, I want the hyperlink to open a new browser session or tab instead of taking over my current session and losing my report. This will give the users the ability to flip back to the report and open another page if they need to.
Interesting how right-clicking the hyperlink has Open in New Tab and Open in New Window greyed out.
Windows application works fine and the hyperlinks open in their own tab.
Is there a way to encapulate the url from the hyperlink in a javascript popUp?
I'm using CRVS2010 in VS2010.
Thanks,
Brian

Hi Brian,
On the properties page of the view find the Property HyperlinkTarget, default is set to _self, change it to _blank.
Have fun

How to open MS word document in browser window?

Hi all
Is it somehow acheivable to open a .doc - document in a browser window?
If I link a .pdf - file from the document library in left navigation menu it opens in a browser window. If I do the same with a MS Word docuemnt it opens the Word application, but I want it to open it inside a browser. Can this somehow be done?
Regards

Hi,
If you want open your document inside Browser, you can try the following settings:
The setting that controls this behavior is located in Windows Explorer (not Internet Explorer) on the user's machine.
Open “Windows Explorer”.
Select Tools -> Folder Options... from the menu.
Go to the “File Types” tab.
In the “Registered file types list”, select the file you want to change the setting for (e.g. DOC).
Click the “Advanced” button to open the Edit File Type dialog.
There is a checkbox, Browse in same window, where you can specify whether the selected file type should be opened within the browser or launched in its host application when clicked on a web page.
