How to use oracle APEX with an distant database located on a distant server

Hi there,
I'm a brand new user with Oracle Technologies. I've installed ORACLE 10g XE and updated APEX to 4.0 version on my laptop.
My Manager has setup a distant server with a Linux Red Hat. He has installed on this server EBS R12 with a 11i database.
As a training, I'd like to play with the tables located on the server with the APEX 4.0 installed on my laptop.
As the server is on the same local network and following the description above, is it possible to plug my local APEX to the server database ?
If not, does it mean I have to install APEX on the 11i server database and then connect to the server to play with those tables ?
Thanks a lot for your time and support ACEs members.
Regards,
Ulrich

Hi Ulrich,
yes, you can access other database from your APEX database. The mechanism used to do this is called a "database link". You need to create such a database link in your local database, then you can access the remote database like this:
SELECT *
FROM databaselink@EMP
;If you want to use such remote objects from within APEX you need to create local views to wrap this (search the forum for apex and database links, you'll find interesting threads).
brgds,
Peter

How to use Oracle APEX with Oracle12c - Beginner

Hi. I have been using for months Oracle Application Express thanks to the online workspace on https://apex.oracle.com/i/index.html.
Now, I want to create my production environment. I have installed Oracle Database 12c on a virtual machine (Oracle Virtual Box) based on Windows Server 2008 R2 (64 bit) o.s.
I have created a new database and, during this process, I have selected only "Oracle Application Express" as database's option. Now, I don't know how to use APEX, how to configure the Listener and whatever I need to let the users may use my APEX's applications. Thank you very much for any help. Please consider that I am a beginner and I don't know how to master the administrative-side of APEX.

     The list of instructions are correct in a way but the OBE is somewhat old (Instead you should always go for Oracle Documentation).
     Following are the installation guides for APEX versions:
APEX 5.0 - https://docs.oracle.com/cd/E59726_01/install.50/e39144/toc.htm

APEX 5.0 - https://docs.oracle.com/cd/E59726_01/install.50/e39144/epg.htm#HTMIG386 (skip the steps for Oracle Database 12c)

How to use Oracle partitioning with JPA @OneToOne reference?

Hi!
A little bit late in the project we have realized that we need to use Oracle partitioning both for performance and admin of the data. (Partitioning by range (month) and after a year we will move the oldest month of data to an archive db)
We have an object model with an main/root entity "Trans" with @OneToMany and @OneToOne relationships.
How do we use Oracle partitioning on the @OneToOne relationships?
(We'd rather not change the model as we already have millions of rows in the db.)
On the main entity "Trans" we use: partition by range (month) on a date column.
And on all @OneToMany we use: partition by reference (as they have a primary-foreign key relationship).
But for the @OneToOne key for the referenced object, the key is placed in the main/source object as the example below:
@Entity
public class Employee {
@Id
@Column(name="EMP_ID")
private long id;
@OneToOne(fetch=FetchType.LAZY)
@JoinColumn(name="ADDRESS_ID")
private Address address;
EMPLOYEE (table)
EMP_ID FIRSTNAME LASTNAME SALARY ADDRESS_ID
1 Bob Way 50000 6
2 Sarah Smith 60000 7
ADDRESS (table)
ADDRESS_ID STREET CITY PROVINCE COUNTRY P_CODE
6 17 Bank St Ottawa ON Canada K2H7Z5
7 22 Main St Toronto ON Canada L5H2D5
From the Oracle documentation: "Reference partitioning allows the partitioning of two tables related to one another by referential constraints. The partitioning key is resolved through an existing parent-child relationship, enforced by enabled and active primary key and foreign key constraints."
How can we use "partition by reference" on @OneToOne relationsships or are there other solutions?
Thanks for any advice.

Can I use Oracle APEX with MySQL Database

Hi All,
We are looking to create a performance dashboard using Oracle APEX for our client, but the application database is MySQL. Is it possible to create reports in APEX using data from MySQL database? If yes, are there any specific steps to be followed or any additional setups needed?
Any inputs would be really helpful.
Appreciate all the help
Thanks,
Sameer

Hi Sameer,
it's not possible to use apex on mysql, as stated above me by several persons.
If you havent got any oracle database in your organization, apex would be an expensive choise unless you use the free Oracle XE (express edition), which has APEX embedded.
There are some limitations to XE but with a bit of smart thinking it wouldnt be much of a problem.
[check the XE information here|http://download.oracle.com/docs/cd/B25329_01/doc/install.102/b25143/toc.htm#BABIECJA]
In short:
- XE will use 1 CPU even if you have two or more in your system
- There is a 4 GB data limit
- RAM memory usage is limited to 1 GB
- 1 installation per computer
You can use XE as a reporting database. This will relieve your mysql database from heavy reporting processes, too.
The XE can be used as a mini data warehouse. So you have to transfer and transform the relevant data from mysql to your XE instance.
After that you can start building report screens etc in the embedded Apex .
hope this helps you

How to integrate Oracle Apex with Peoplesoft?

Dear Experts,
Is there possibility to integrate peoplesoft for higher education with oracle apex
Regards
Mahmoud

This very much depends on what you mean by the first "oracle webcenter" and what kind of integration you are looking for.
Oracle WebCenter contains three main product lines:
- Oracle WebCenter Portal,
- Oracle WebCenter Sites,
- and Oracle WebCenter Content.
Since the newest version 11.1.1.8 it is possible to store Sites' assets in WebCenter Content.
WebCenter Portal, where the name WebCenter originated from, is another front-end technology, so it would rather co-exist next to Sites than integrate with them. See this thread WebCenter Portal and WebCenter Sites Integration for more details.

oracle.crypto is not supported in the 10.1.x release of the oracle JVM/Database. We do support the Sun JCE encryption API's as documented by Sun. I recommend using the JCE and JSSE API's as they are the standard moving forward with later releases of Oracle.
Setting of the client CLASSPATH has no effect on classes loaded into the database. The resolution model is explained in the Oracle Database Java Developers Guide.

How to use sql request with Jdev and database connection

Hello,
I have a login page with simple username and password inputsecret text and a button validate! I would like, when the user click on the validate button, to check in the database that the user and password matches. I've done the "Method BIndind..." with the commandButton_action and the database connection works fine.
How can I use an already existing procedure, say authenticate, wich is stored in the database to authenticate my user ?
Do I have to create a jdbc connection in java even if I've done the connection with the "create new database connection" wizard ?
String s1 = "jdbc:oracle:thin:@address:1521:ORCL";
System.out.println( "Connecting with: " );
System.out.println( s1 );
DriverManager.registerDriver(new oracle.jdbc.OracleDriver());
this.conn = DriverManager.getConnection( s1,"user","pass");
thanks for your help

Creating a connection to the DB in JDeveloper doesn't mean that your application is now connected to the DB - so yes you do need to create a connection to the database using JDBC.
One note - if you are trying to do a database user authentication the following is probably the better way to go about it:

Read the publishing reports manual of Oracle reports to see how to Web enabled your Oracle reports. You can then invoke them from an ADF application either by calling a URL or using a Web service interface.

How to Unpivot, Crosstab, or Pivot using Oracle 9i with PL/SQL?

How to Unpivot, Crosstab, or Pivot using Oracle 9i with PL/SQL?
Here is a fictional sample layout of the data I have from My_Source_Query:
Customer | VIN | Year | Make | Odometer | ... followed by 350 more columns/fields
123 | 321XYZ | 2012 | Honda | 1900 |
123 | 432ABC | 2012 | Toyota | 2300 |
456 | 999PDQ | 2000 | Ford | 45586 |
876 | 888QWE | 2010 | Mercedes | 38332 |
... followed by up to 25 more rows of data from this query.
The exact number of records returned by My_Source_Query is unknown ahead of time, but should be less than 25 even under extreme situations.
Here is how I would like the data to be:
Column1 |Column2 |Column3 |Column4 |Column5 |
Customer | 123 | 123 | 456 | 876 |
VIN | 321XYZ | 432ABC | 999PDQ | 888QWE |
Year | 2012 | 2012 | 2000 | 2010 |
Make | Honda | Toyota | Ford | Mercedes|
Odometer | 1900 | 2300 | 45586 | 38332 |
... followed by 350 more rows with the names of the columns/fields from the My_Source_Query.
From reading and trying many, many, many of the posting on this topic I understand that the unknown number or rows in My_Source_Query can be a problem and have considered working with one row at a time until each row has been converted to a column.
If possible I'd like to find a way of doing this conversion from rows to columns using a query instead of scripts if that is possible. I am a novice at this so any help is welcome.
This is a repost. I originally posted this question to the wrong forum. Sorry about that.

The permission level that I have in the Oracle environment is 'read only'. This is also be the permission level of the users of the query I am trying to build.
As requested, here is the 'create' SQL to build a simple table that has the type of data I am working with.
My real select query will have more than 350 columns and the rows returned will be 25 rows of less, but for now I am prototyping with just seven columns that have the different data types noted in my sample data.
NOTE: This SQL has been written and tested in MS Access since I do not have permission to create and populate a table in the Oracle environment and ODBC connections are not allowed.
CREATE TABLE tbl_MyDataSource
(Customer char(50),
VIN char(50),
Year char(50),
Make char(50),
Odometer long,
InvDate date,
Amount currency)
Here is the 'insert into' to populate the tbl_MyDataSource table with four sample records.
INSERT INTO tbl_MyDataSource ( Customer, VIN, [Year], Make, Odometer, InvDate, Amount )
SELECT "123", "321XYZ", "2012", "Honda", "1900", "2/15/2012", "987";
INSERT INTO tbl_MyDataSource ( Customer, VIN, [Year], Make, Odometer, InvDate, Amount )
VALUES ("123", "432ABC", "2012", "Toyota", "2300", "1/10/2012", "6546");
INSERT INTO tbl_MyDataSource ( Customer, VIN, [Year], Make, Odometer, InvDate, Amount )
VALUES ("456", "999PDQ", "2000", "Ford", "45586", "4/25/2002", "456");
INSERT INTO tbl_MyDataSource ( Customer, VIN, [Year], Make, Odometer, InvDate, Amount )
VALUES ("876", "888QWE", "2010", "Mercedes", "38332", "10/13/2010", "15973");
Which should produce a table containing these columns with these values:
tbl_MyDataSource:
Customer     VIN     Year     Make     Odometer     InvDate          Amount
123 | 321XYZ | 2012 | Honda      | 1900          | 2/15/2012     | 987.00
123 | 432ABC | 2012 | Toyota | 2300 | 1/10/2012     | 6,546.00
456 | 999PDQ | 2000 | Ford     | 45586          | 4/25/2002     | 456.00
876 | 888QWE | 2010 | Mercedes | 38332          | 10/13/2010     | 15,973.00
The desired result is to use Oracle 9i to convert the columns into rows using sql without using any scripts if possible.
qsel_MyResults:
Column1          Column2          Column3          Column4          Column5
Customer | 123 | 123 | 456 | 876
VIN | 321XYZ | 432ABC | 999PDQ | 888QWE
Year | 2012 | 2012 | 2000 | 2010
Make | Honda | Toyota | Ford | Mercedes
Odometer | 1900 | 2300 | 45586 | 38332
InvDate | 2/15/2012 | 1/10/2012 | 4/25/2002 | 10/13/2010
Amount | 987.00 | 6,546.00 | 456.00 | 15,973.00
The syntax in SQL is something I am not yet sure of.
You said:
>
"Don't use the same name or alias for two different things. if you have a table called t, then don't use t as an alais for an in-line view. Pick a different name, like ordered_t, instead.">
but I'm not clear on which part of the SQL you are suggesting I change. The code I posted is something I pieced together from some of the other postings and is not something I full understand the syntax of.
Here is my latest (failed) attempt at this.
select *
from (select * from tbl_MyDataSource) t;
with data as
(select rownum rnum, t.* from (select * from t order by c1) ordered_t), -- changed 't' to 'ordered_t'
rows_to_have as
(select level rr from dual connect by level <= 7 -- number of columns in T
select rnum,
       max(decode(rr, 1, c1)),
       max(decode(rr, 2, c2)),
       max(decode(rr, 3, c3)),
       max(decode(rr, 4, c3)),
       max(decode(rr, 5, c3)),
       max(decode(rr, 6, c3)),
       max(decode(rr, 7, c3)),
from data, rows_to_have
group by rnumIn the above code the "select * from tbl_MyDataSource" is a place holder for my select query which runs without error and has these exact number of fields and data types as order shown in the tbl_MyDataSource above.
This code produces the error 'ORA-00936: missing expression'. The error appears to be starting with the 'with data as' line if I am reading my PL/Sql window correctly. Everything above that row runs without error.
Thank you for your great patients and for sharing your considerable depth of knowledge. Any help is gratefully welcomed.

Integration of Oracle Apex with EBS R12.1.1

Dear All,
We are in process of integrating Oracle Apex 4.0.2 with EBS R12.1.1 with the help of http://www.oracle.com/technetwork/developer-tools/apex/apex-ebs-wp-cabot-consulting-169064.pdf.
After doing all the steps, the moment when we navigate from EBS application to Apex application by clicking on the EBS menu link it ends up with below error
"404 Not Found
Resource /OA_HTML/null/pls/apex/f not found on this server"
After some analysis i found the below code in "LaunchApex.jsp" for getting the profile value (supposed to be 'http://myserver:port') from custom system profile "APEX_HTTP_SERVER" and prefixing to "/apex/f?p=applicationid:page::APPS:::" is not happening properly
String l_launcher = ctx.getProfileStore().getProfile("APEX_HTTP_SERVER");
l_launcher = l_launcher + "/apex/f?p=" + p_application + ":" + p_page;
l_launcher = l_launcher + "::APPS:::" + p_item_names + ":" + p_item_values;
as we found that the custom system profile "APEX_HTTP_SERVER" not exist in EBS system. But it works without any page error if we hard code the entire apex application URL in l_launcher variable, but this takes us to EBS login page instead of Apex application page.
So i feel we can't bypass using profile value from "APEX_HTTP_SERVER" as it has some relation with EBS application session.
So could anyone please help me how we could create custom system profile "APEX_HTTP_SERVER" or any other options to make the seamless integration of Oracle apex with EBS works without any second login page
Thanks in advance

Hi,
Create a profile under Application Developer Responsibility as follow:
Name OAE_LAUNCHER
Application <whatever>
User Profile Name Oracle Application Express Launcher
Description Oracle Application Express Launcher
2. Set above profile value under System Administrator Responsibility -> Profile -> System, and search for the ‘OAE_LAUNCHER’.
Set the value at Site Level as:
http://<hostname>:<Apex port>/pls/apex
Then instead of hardcoding the URL in the jsp, just give the profile name OAE_LAUNCHER that you have just created in the jsp.
Hope this helps you
Brgds,
Mini

Integrating Oracle Apex with Oracle eBusiness Suite

Hi All,
Can someone give me details about how we can integrate Oracle Apex with eBusiness Suite. We have few custom forms/ reports which are being developed in Apex. We want to register these in oracle applications as standard functions and link them to user responsibilities. Is it a good idea to create ApEx as separate application or can we use an existing application (like OM).
Any pointers, references, documents with reference to this would be very useful.
Thanks in advance.
