Http push integration through apex

Dear all
i have a case where in i need to send sms to my clients, my sms service provider has given me the url and parameters in need to push for sending the sms.
http://www.meru.co.in/wip/sendsms?username=<username>&password=<pwd>&to=<to>&message=<msg>
if i put values in parameter positions and paste this on webbrowser address bar and press go it perfectly send the sms, Now my question is how do i automate this process in Apex where i have send sms to hundreds of my clients. Clearly i dont want to open browser hundred times to send 100 sms
Thanks in advance
regards
Uday

Hi,
I have not anything like that, but you should check UTL_HTTP package.
http://download.oracle.com/docs/cd/B19306_01/appdev.102/b14258/u_http.htm
You could create process / procedure that loop needed info from table ,
and then call URL using that package subprograms

BlazeDS provides push functionality through HTTP ??

Hi All ,
In my application i am integrating my Flex app with Java Struts using BalzeDS. Now i have a requirement like Data(Server) push functionality through HTTP. I am using HTTPService calls only in my Flex application. Can BlazeDS provides push functionality through HTTP.If so , how can i use that??
I read a article about "BlazeDS Remote Object Service " and "BlazeDS Messaging Service" . I am so much confused. Please Help....
Thanks in Advance....

Yes -- I had a similar experience. I found the order in which you enable this stuff is critical.
For me, I had to first enable the push server, configure it, stop it, go back into mail, set the server to push, start the notification service, then start and stop the mail service.
Push showed my test Leopard client as a connected user; no matter what I did with the iPhone though I couldn't get it to push (or connect.)
I ended up disabling the whole thing though, when I started seeing references in the system log to push service error messages. I'll need to dig back through them to paste them here on the forum, but it appeared something still isn't quite right.
The complete lack of technical documentation on this is a bit annoying, to say the lease.

Can XML Publisher 5.6.3(EBS) be integrated with APEX?

On the following document, XMP Publisher 5.6.2 does not support integration with APEX. May I know about 5.6.3? Or is it about the product being an add-on with EBS causing the non-support to integration(meaning, even 5.6.3 is not supported)?
http://www.oracle.com/technology/products/database/application_express/html/configure_printing.html
Thanks,
Rownald

APEX integrates with the standalone version of BI Publisher. There was not a server component with the standalone 5.6.3 release. The integration relies on publisher providing a servlet for APEX to communicate with, 5.6.3 does not have this.
If you are talking 5.6.3 under EBS then I guess you could build a servlet on the mid tier that called the BIP conversion APIs - it would all be custom work.
The APEX integration needs 10.1.3.2 BIP to work with out of the box.

Creation of mdb file through Apex

Dear Friends,
I am using apex 4.1. i want to create mdb file through apex.
can any1 tell me the procedure how to make the mdb file?

Kamran,
Why would you want to do that?
Oracle propagates Apex as being an Access killer ;-)
I don't see a possibility btw other than using lots of ODBC "create-table" queries inside your Access file.
Apex runs solely on Oracle tables due to the architecture chosen.

Using a Single HTTP Server for Multiple APEX Instances

Our company's DBA Manager has asked if it would be possible to externalize the HTTP server portion of APEX from the DB Servers. In other words, he would strongly prefer that the DB Servers *only* run Oracle Database software.
We know that we can install the HTTP server on another box but, in thinking about how to do this, we were wondering if it is really necessary to create a separate HTTP server installation for each APEX instance. What we'd really like to do is have one HTTP server for all our our Dev boxes and several (but, not one to one) for each of our upper environments; staging, qa, prod, etc.
Right now, each instance have a single dads.conf file on each DB box. So, if we we're to attempt to consolidate them, we'd need some way to embed multiple dads files and to associate each instance with the correct one.
Has anyone ever done this or (preferably) have some examples?
Thanks,
-Joe

Joe,
I don´t know a specific reference for it, I remembered it because when I was looking the documentation on the site, I saw the reference "Support for multiple database connections" in the URL: APEX Listener New Features 2.0</title><meta name="Title" content="APEX Listener New Features 2.0…
I´ve tried to use APEX listener some time ago, but in a earlier version together with glassfish. So, since for me was only one database, I created the necessary amount of DAD´s on my database, each one for a specific port.
Check the link and you´ll see the same information I saw.
Thanks.

I am done with all the steps in R12. Now if i click the menu in R12, its going to my existing Apex aplication but still asking username and password.
Can anyone help me out in what exactly I need to change in Apex Authentication scheme in Apex. Right now I am using Authentication scheme as Application Express.
Please help me out
Thanks in advance

Hi Mini,
Thanks a lot for ur replies. But it is not working for me. I am not able to figure out whats going wrong.
My Requirement is to redirect to the first page of my application without asking for the APEX login page from the EBS menu.
So summarizing whatever I steps i have followed:-
(1) Created Profile and function in APPS as given in "apex-ebs-extension-white-paper-345780.pdf"
(2) I created the following package in APPS schema
     CREATE OR REPLACE PACKAGE APPS.XXAPX_SECURITY_PKG AUTHID DEFINER AS
     FUNCTION generate_hash (
     p_string IN VARCHAR2
     , p_offset IN NUMBER DEFAULT 0) RETURN VARCHAR2;
     FUNCTION validate_hash (
     p_string IN VARCHAR2
     , p_hash IN VARCHAR2
     , p_delay IN NUMBER DEFAULT 5) RETURN BOOLEAN;
     END XXAPX_SECURITY_PKG;
     CREATE OR REPLACE PACKAGE BODY APPS.XXAPX_SECURITY_PKG AS
     g_key VARCHAR2(100);
     FUNCTION generate_hash (
     p_string IN VARCHAR2
     , p_offset IN NUMBER DEFAULT 0) RETURN VARCHAR2
     IS
     BEGIN
     IF p_string IS NULL THEN RETURN NULL; END IF;
     RETURN RAWTOHEX(UTL_RAW.cast_to_raw(
     DBMS_OBFUSCATION_TOOLKIT.MD5(
          input_string=>p_string||':'||
          TO_CHAR(SYSDATE-(p_offset/24*60*60), 'YYYYMMDD HH24MISS')||g_key)));
     END generate_hash;
     FUNCTION validate_hash (
     p_string IN VARCHAR2
     , p_hash IN VARCHAR2
     , p_delay IN NUMBER DEFAULT 5) RETURN BOOLEAN
     IS
     BEGIN
     FOR i IN 0..p_delay LOOP
     IF p_hash = generate_hash (p_string, i) THEN RETURN TRUE; END IF;
     END LOOP;
     RETURN FALSE;
     END validate_hash;
     BEGIN
     SELECT encrypted_user_password INTO g_key
     FROM FND_USER WHERE user_name = 'SYSADMIN';
     END XXAPX_SECURITY_PKG;
(3) Created a function in the APPS schema:-
     create or replace FUNCTION ebs_authenticate (
     p_username IN VARCHAR2
     , p_password IN VARCHAR2) RETURN BOOLEAN
     AS
     BEGIN
     IF apps.XXAPX_SECURITY_PKG.validate_hash (p_username, p_password) THEN RETURN TRUE; END IF;
     RETURN (apps.FND_WEB_SEC.validate_login (p_username, p_password) = 'Y');
     END ebs_authenticate;
(4) In my authentication scheme of my apex application i have changed it to use custom authentication to use the below function
     return apps.ebs_authenticate
(5) Created a procedure in the APPS schema:-
     create or replace PROCEDURE apps_logon
     IS
     v_username VARCHAR2(100);
     v_password VARCHAR2(32);
     BEGIN
     wfa_sec.getsession(v_username);
     v_password := xxapx_security_pkg.generate_hash(FND_GLOBAL.user_name);
     IF v_password IS NOT NULL THEN
     APEX_CUSTOM_AUTH.login(
          P_UNAME => v_username,
          P_PASSWORD => v_password,
          P_SESSION_ID => v('APP_SESSION'),
          P_APP_PAGE => apex_application.g_flow_id||':38'
     ELSE
     RAISE_APPLICATION_ERROR(-20001, 'Password is null, session id = '||icx_sec.g_session_id);
     END IF;
     END apps_logon;
(6) In my login page, i have created a process Get Username Cookie and with the process point: onload(Before Header)
     BEGIN
     apps.apps_logon;
     EXCEPTION WHEN OTHERS THEN NULL;
     END;
Now I am getting this error with the login page :-
ORA-06502: PL/SQL: numeric or value error: character string buffer too small Content-type: text/html; charset=UTF-8 Set-Cookie: WWV_CUSTOM-F_1120314105059329_811=B4134623EB436033; path=/; Location: f?CallFromForm='Y'&p=811:38
Please help me figure out the problem as I am struggling a lot with this from last few days :(
Thanks in advance.

Uploading Documents to Another Database Through APEX

Hi,
I am trying to find a solution for uploading documents through APEX, but storing them in a database on a different server other than the server where apex is installed.
I am unable to use DBLINK, because we are needing to pass a BLOB column. We have also looked into the DAD, but it only allows for one database connection for the APEX instance. I am pondering with creating a database connection to the other database when needing to upload a document, but not certain if that is the most efficient way.
I am wanting to know if there is a way to upload documents (BLOBS) through APEX that is installed on DATABASE A, but store the documents in DATABASE B?
Thanks,
Keisha

Ok...up front warning...this is a bit klugey but, it does work.
In the APEX database:
Create the table (with the BLOB column) to which you will upload the documentsWe're going to get them to the remote DB but, for reasons that will become apparent shortly, they need to go here first.
In the Remote database:
Create a DB Link to the APEX database.
Create a Materialized View that selects from table with the the BLOB column in the APEX database
In the APEX database:
Create a local synonym that points to the DBMS_REFRESH package in the Remote database.For this example, we'll name the synonym REMOTE_DBMS_REFRESH
Create a PL/SQL procedure that does the following:
Upload the document to the APEX database
Fire the REFRESH method for the MV that you created using REMOTE_DBMS_REFRESH
Remote the data from the APEX database
For whatever reason, the restriction to copy LOB data over the link is by passed when using a Materialized View.

SCADA - XMII - ERP integrations through SAP PI

Hi Experts,
I have an integration scenario comprising of a SCADA system & SAP ECC. Could anybody suggest some document / send reference links on SCADA - XMII - ERP integrations through SAP PI.
Useful response would be appreciated.
Regards,
Santhosh

SCADA-XMII integration
Scada system should always remain connected to some Historian system. You can directly connect to SCADA system to xMII using vendor specific UDS (Universal Data Servers) Like Citect UDS ...
If vendor specific UDS is not available in MII then you can make it possible if the SCADA system is OPC complaint, through OPC UDS DA, but it provides only current data without any mata data information.
As a robust business practice it is not recommended to use direct SCADA connectivity to xMII, it should go through some Historian( Citect, Wonderware, Siemens...many more) so XMII will be able to get all plant floor operations data in history & current modes.
XMII-ERP Integration
XMII supports IDOC & BAPI communication with ERP system using various SAP connectors available in XMII as in SAP BC, SAP JCO.
Specific to PI Sheet, you can download various control receipe, process orders data using IDocs.
BAPIs can be used to do "process order confirmations" back to ERP system and make changes in process data.
Let me know if you would like to know about specific SCADA system- xMII connectivity or specific activity in PI.
Thanks

TFS GIT HTTPS Push Problem

Hi everyone,
we have a problem with TFS 2013/ GIT and HTTPS Push. From Visual Studio, pushing large commits is quite fine, using GIT Bash it results in:
Accept-Encoding: gzip
Content-Type: application/x-git-receive-pack-request
Accept: application/x-git-receive-pack-result

atal: The remote end hung up unexpectedly
fatal: The remote end hung up unexpectedly
Everything up-to-date
The following overview shows what I already tested:
HTTP (Push commit > 30MB to TFS 2013)
Visual Studio 2013

We would like to use the commandline to automate a few things, but that's currently not possible :-(
Any hints?
Thank you,
Tom

Hi Tom,
I'd like to know whether you push the same commit by using Git bash "1.9.5" and "1.8.0", and more specific size of the commit.
You can check whether it works if you use a parameter of postbuffer in your command. Check this
thread for more information. Another option is check whether downgrade to use Git Bash "1.8.0" is possible. However, you can also check with
Git site to see if it's related to the version of Git Bash "1.9.5".

Integration of apex with other applications

hi all,
i'm planning on integrating my apex application to a .net express application.. since some of my screens will use webforms and some will use winforms.. to state the obvious, i will use apex for my webforms and .net for my winforms.
what i want to do is that when i login to apex, i will also be automatically logged in to the .net app whenver i open one of its forms and vice versa.
i did some reading that apex uses wwv_flow_custom_auth_std package and it executes wwv_flow_custom_auth_std.login after successful authentication? is this right? anyways, what i don't know is how apex checks if a user is logged in so that i can probably have my .net app do the same thing.
any thoughts?
thanks
allen

Allen
it executes wwv_flow_custom_auth_std.login after successful authentication? is this right?Not exactly. This procedure, aka "the login api" causes the steps defined in the application's authentication scheme to be followed. It's usually called from the login page and accepts the username, password, session ID and some other information as input. One of the steps in an authentication scheme is credentials verification. Normally, if this optional step succeeds, the session is then registered, i.e., the authenticated username and the current session ID are recorded in the sessions table and a cookie is sent to the browser to be used for session management for the duration of the session. Then the indicated after-login page is redirected to. This is one way to structure an authentication scheme. Another is to use the code often referred to here as the "ntlm page sentry". You can find this is you search a bit. This method causes the user's authenticated status (and identity) to be obtained from the environment, e.g., from headers set by Windows NTLM. So really an application can do authentication and session management any way the developer chooses. It's completely flexible.
...anyways, what i don't know is how apex checks if a user is logged inApplication Express doesn't know or care if a user is logged in. Your application can check for this in whatever way you see fit. One way is to compare the value of APP_USER with a known list of unauthenticated users, e.g., APEX_PUBLIC_USER, ANONYMOUS, and nobody.

Installed Forms 11g ok but do I need another HTTP Server to run APEX?

Friends,
I have posted this Installed Forms 11g ok but do I need another HTTP Server to run APEX? over in the Forms forum. I'm not sure if it's best suited to here?
I'm not chasing for an answer, just trying to find the correct place for my question.
Thanks
Ian

The answer from a software licensing perspective depends on the licening model you are on. If Unified Workspace Licensing (UWL), then you already have license entitlement to CUP under the Business Edition of that licence program. If you are on a DLU or UCL-based license program, CUP is seperately licensed.
You will need s seperate MCS server.
Softphones again depend on your license schema. If UWL, each user is entitled to one softphone. DLU and UCL each charge for softphone usage seperately.

Scanning through Apex

Hi All,
I need to Scan an Image through APEX.
1. Am having a form(based on a table) containing basic information capturing items about Image.
2. After completing the data entry, i will click on a Scan Button in the APEX Form.
3. After that button click, my scanner should scan the image in it.
4. Then i need to map that scanned image in the APEX Form to save that as a BLOB content in my table along with
that image's basic information.
Can anyone please help me in completing this?
Thanks,
Sakthi.

Sakthi,
I don't believe it's possible to interact with a user's hardware (well, other than sending pages to the printer, and even then you can't avoid the standard printer selection dialog box) through a webpage. That'd be a significant security hole.

Web based reporting engine integrated with APEX

Hello,
I would like to use some completely web-based reporting solution for my application. My idea is that I will create some datasource, prepare database query and publish some data columns to end users (datamodel). They will choose from many of prepared data areas, create their own report using some intuitive web-based report designer and save it. I do not need it for any analytic purposes, no dynamic filters, graphs and other widgets, no BI. It will be all only about building text based reports with few dynamic fields (customer address, actual date etc..).
For example: User will prepare some document (template) with few paragraphs and add some of prepared dynamic fields into it (ie. company name, customer address, repeating table with list of employees, some image). Then he will be able to generate same document for many customers etc..
I am looking for some simple, user friendly web based application. Some external report builder for example for Jasper reports is not what I am looking for.
I will need to integrate it with Oracle 11g XE with APEX 4.2 so some API or URL parameters is must.
Used reporting engine does not be completely free, but I am able to pay max. $5000 for it
Do you have some tips?
Thank you

This could be a solution for APEX reports (interactive reports). But I want to create more complex reports, not only table based reports.
I need to create for example invoice report with some dynamic fields (customer, invoice items...), another report can be for example some contract about cooperation with some dynamic fields (contract number, personal information ...).
These reports will be mostly only text based without any table. See example bellow. How would you generate this kind of letter?
"Hello <CUSTOMER_NAME>, we would like to offer our new product <PRODUCT_NAME> to you..."
Where CUSTOMER_NAME a PRODUCT_NAME are prepared fields (from some database tables). It will be something very similar to Microsoft Word automatic mailings. User can generate many text based reports and save them as PDF.
I need to find some web based product, that will be simple for users and can be integrated with APEX.

Accessing 3 or 4 databases tables through apex.

Hi There,
I have a requirement, I have to create few dashboards on apex and each dashboard corresponds to different databases.
For example:
I will have a list of databases name in the first page of apex (or it could be tab name) and when I click on the specific database name, it should go to a page which has some reports based on the tables of that database like wise if I click on the other database name, it should go to a page which has some reports based on the tables of that database and so on...
Is it possible to access different databases through Apex?
If yes could you please share some documents or links demonstrating it.
Please help!!
Thanks in advance,
Pushpesh Pallav

Thank you Scott.
The other challenge I have is all the databases are on different different VPN and due to some reason I can't install all the VPN's on the apex server.
Now if I connect the apex to the other databases using dblink, it will give error as VPN will not be connected.
Is there any way the VPN's will be connected dynamically through apex or without VPN we could access the databases through apex??
Regards,
Pushpesh Pallav

There are other things to try.
Turn WiFi off on the iPad, restart it and then turn WiFi on again.
Reset the network settings on the iPad. Settings>General>Reset>Reset Network Settings, that makes you have to start all over again.
