Import/Export Applications

Hello all,
We have a small Apex app running in production for internal use in our dept. We have updates to add to this app and will have to do so on a steady basis. We thought we would import the prod app into dev and make the changes export and re-import into production.
We cannot import our prod app into our development workspace unless we change the application id. It will not let us use the same application id as the prod id. And importing individual components is not a picnic either. We are using a application alias so maybe we need not worry about the actual application id.
Any thoughts would be appreciated

Les,
The only reason you wouldn't be able to install an application into a workspace using the wizard and specifying a particular application ID is if the application ID is already used by an application in another workspace.

Import/Export App Overwrite Timing Out

We are about to begin testing an application we've created, and need a testing environment. I have been able to successfully export an application from one server and import it to HTML DB on another, but every time I get to the screen (on the new server) where it asks me to confirm that I want to replace the already existing application, I hit the button to confirm, I wait forever as the blue bar creeps across the status bar of my browser, then I get a "Page Cannot be Displayed" error, like it's timing out or something.
When I go back, the application appears to have installed normally and seems to work, but I am worried that because of what seemed to be the installation timing out, that there may be things that didn't quite transfer. Is this a valid concern, or should I assume that everything transferred normally?

Murali,
The process is actually pretty simple. In our case we had two servers, both w/ HTML DB installed. The way it basically works is that you go into the application you want to export, and you click the Export/Import link on the page. You will be taken through a simple step-by-step process by which you will ultimately just save the application somewhere as a .sql file. You will then go into HTML DB on the server where you would like the copied application to be, and click the same link, and go through a similar step-by-step process to import the application by browsing for it where it was saved when you exported it.
A few suggestions:
Any tables that are associated with the application will need to be recreated in your new environment. A simple way to do this is to use:
CREATE TABLE table_name AS (
SELECT * FROM table_name@oldserver
for each of your tables, if there are only a few. If it is larger, you may just want to copy the entire schema over to the new server, which is what we ended up having to do. But our DBA did that, so I'm not as familiar w/ that process.
However, if the tables have sequences associated with them they will need to be recreated on the new server as well, unless there is a way to copy them along w/ the table all at once, but as I said, we are not as familiar w/ that actual process. (You can find information on how to recreate the sequences here: https://cwisdb.cc.kuleuven.ac.be/ora10doc/server.101/b10759/statements_9001.htm)
Of course you can simply truncate the tables if you don't want any of you previous data on your new tables.
Another thing we noticed when we imported a new application, is that when a Named LOV was used in a column of an updatable report, it didn't transfer over, so we had to go back to that select list and reset it as that particular Named LOV.
One thing you will want to be careful for if you're planning on importing/exporting applications frequently, for new versions and releases, is to make sure you don't hardcode any schema names in with your SQL in the application. This caused us some headaches because when we would import the new application, the new schema on which the tables existed was not the same as the one from the old app, and we kept getting errors until we went back and deleted every instance of the schema name in the SQL.
There may very well be better and more efficient ways to do these things than how I have suggested, but these are methods we used and we have been successful so far.
Hope this helps.

Application import/export failing, hopefully a simple one though

hi all,
i'm very new to oracle and am trying to get going with xe. i'm working between work and home and want to be able to transport wherever i'm at to work/home - so i thought the application import/export function would be the best way? first of all, is it?
if so - i keep getting the
failed to parse SQL query:
ORA-00942: table or view does not exist
error
i'm running the same versions of oracle, on the same platforms (Application Express 2.1.0.00.39, winXPpro all service packed up). both my users have dba roles and the apps work fine on the machines i created them on. the import and install processes claim to be successful and the error only comes up when i try to log in to the application. any ideas?
btw - the apps are just simple tests, dependences etc with a couple rows in each table]
any help be much appreciated even if its "go read this!" as i've googled away & got not much....
cheers!

Your problem is likely that in your office you do not have the tables required by your program. The export does not include your tables. You have to create them yourselves

Export and Import of Application problem

Hi,
I had my application developed in Windows environment. First time i had full application export and import on Solaris box. The application was successfully installed on Solaris box and i could login into application. The login process was working but all of my queries/reports were not displaying any values. All i can see is number of rows retrieved for example 1-20 etc. I repeated the export/import 3-4 times but results were same.
On Solaris box i opened one of the reports and started playing with it. Luckily on "Reports Attribute" tab i unchecked/checked the show column checkbox. The report started working. Likewise i did for other reports. Just to verify this i repeated the Export/import of application and unchecked/checked the show column and reports started working. I repeated it at least 3 times.
Our application is going to expand everyday and on every import we cannot repeat this step for every report.
Please let me know what steps are missing in Import or are they any manual Post-Import steps ?

Hamayun

Hi Scott,
Today i applied the patch and now its 1.6.1.02. After applying the patch i imported application once again.
I was able to login into application. When i executed a report the system navigated to required tab but did not show any data. Then i performed following steps:
1.Selected Edit page(xx).
2.Selected region in the selected page.
3.Select Report Attributes tab from region.
4.In Report Column Attributes section the "Show" option was Checked for all the columns which i want to display.
5. i unchecked only ONE COLUMN and CHECKED again the same column. This was done just to apply changes to report.
6. Clicked on Apply Changes to save the changes.
7. Executed the application and the report started working.
8. Likewise i repeated step 5 for all reports in the application.
I also tried another option.
-navigated to Reports Attribute tab and made a change just to save the changes on tab. After saving the page the report started working.
Your help is greatly appreciated.

Hamayun

Unexpected Quits in multiple applications at Save or Import/Export window

Hello,
For several months I have Apple and Adobe applications as well as Firefox, randomly quit when bringing up the Save, or Import/Export window. (I have copies of the error logs.)
I thought I had it fixed since I haven't had any issues for some time after running Disk Utility and Onyx. But, I posted the same issue a couple of months ago and the solution (at the time) was to keep the desktop clean (see "Crashing at Save" by katorama) . So, after I cleaned up my desktop and only had two aliases to my folders I needed, all went very well until now.
However, what didn't help is that yesterday we had three power outages and my iMac did an auto-restart after each. Since then, the problem returned and nothing seems to fix it.
I feel like this issue is haunting me! I was a tech for many years and normally can fix the issue. But, I can't seem to figure out the reason behind these crazy unexpected quits. Seems I've run out of tools in my toolbag.
TROUBLESHOOTING ATTEMPTS:
– I have run Disk Utility to verify and repair disk and Onyx to clean out caches. After this, it seems to run fine, then a different application will have the same problem.
– When I create a new user account, there is no response when I double click the hard drive (it does not open) and when testing an application for the quit issue, it happens again.
– Also, when I restart into Safe Boot the problem appears to stop initially, but can appear intermittently again.
I suspect it may be a RAM or even a Quartz issue? But, honestly, I have no idea.
< h   e   l   p   ! >
Any suggestions welcome!
thanks!

Hi.
This is about a question you posted to the Firefox Support forum three months ago (I'm sorry you never got an answer).
Did you ever fix the problem where Firefox freezes or hangs, when clicking a download link or using (File menu) "save as" or "open file"? Or when going to the Firefox (Tools) menu and clicking Options ? Or trying to Import or Export bookmarks?
I found this thread searching for a solution for someone on MozillaZine's support forum who's having a similar issue. See this thread: (maybe something he's tried that didn't work for him will work for you?)

Not able to import/export or package the application

Not able to package and deploy/import the application.
Currently we have organized our application under a folder i.e., we kept all our schema, delivery templates, web forms etc. under these folders. We are facing the below challenges.
We are able to package our total application but not able to import it Sandbox in a same folder structure used in Training Server.
If a schema is linked with other schemas, we are not able to export the data.
Even if its showing import is completed 100% but showing error at least one element is required by the package but missing from the instance. As a result the import is failing.

Thanks for your reply Linda.
We have created our application under a certain folder structure. At root we have the application folder. Then we are keeping say all delivery templates under Delivery Templates, all web forms under Web application folder etc. That is how we have organized the application.
Application folder
                Delivery Templates
                Web application
                Workflows
                Offers
We have created a package definition and added our component there. With that package, we are exporting our application. Export is successful.
But when we are importing the package, all components are getting scattered and not coming in the same folder structure we used when creating the application.

Getting error while importing the application in Oracle Apex

Hi,
I am facing an issue while importing an application into my new Oracle Apex installation. Installation was successful with out any issue. I exported an application from my old Apex (version 3.0.0.00.20) and importing the same into new apex (version 3.0.1.00.08). I am getting the following error.
============================================================
The requested URL /pls/apex/wwv_flow.accept was not found on this server.
============================================================
When I click on import in Application Builder page and then browse the required file it gives the progress saying "Importing File" and after some time it displays the above error.
I tried bouncing the application also and there is not error in alert log.
Could any one please suggest, if there is some problem here. Or my approach is not correct.
Thanks in advance.

Advait Deo

Osacar, I recommend that you try to import the application into your workspace on apex.oracle.com and see what happens. Also, refine the problem statement as much as you can, e.g., you get this error importing "the application" or when importing "any" application. How big is the file you're trying to import? Where did it come from? Can you upload images?

4) Clicking on Export Application creates the sql file f500 which is saved by us in our specified folder
For Import (in another machine)
1) Copied the f500.sql file in this machine
2) Login to workspace as hr/hr
3) Go to Application Builder > Import > Application
4) Import file - Specified our file name
File Type - Application/page export
File character set - Unicode UTF-8
5) Click on Next
Gives "Page cannot be displayed"
When we click refresh it gives the error

Error import / export in console standalone

hai all,
error import / export in console standalone
iam logged in 9i console standalone pc not connected any other pc.
unable to import or export or load any database
because the error shows that
only on OMS mode is possible
how can import or export or load?
any help?
thanks in advance
rcs
------

I have no idea what you are asking or in what environment you are work.
Lets start with the need for a version number ... 9i is not a version ... it is a marketing label. Do you mean 9.0.? or 9.2.0.1 or 9.2.0.8 no one knows.
Second I have no idea what a you intend to convey with the statement "console standalone pc."
Third "unable" means what? That the pc crashed and burned and is a smoldering cinder or you received some error message you thought too unimportant to post? Again ... you've given us no useful information.
Finally what do you mean by OMS? Is this OMS as in the Java application running as part of the Grid Control or something else?
Finally what are you trying to import? How? A clear explanation is required.
If someone reading what you post can not understand or duplicate what you did because of lack of information you will not receive any help.

IMPORT / EXPORT IN SCRIPTS

Hi all.
i have an issue in the scripts.
is ir possible to use Import / export in scripts.
If it is possible ,then how.
can any body help me to solve this issue.
Thanks,
Eswar

Hi,
Use Report RSTXSCRP allows SAPscript objects (standard texts, styles, forms
or device types to be transported between R/3 and a local or central
file.
Note: Texts, styles, and forms are client-specific! For export they are
always read from the current client and for import they are always read
to the current client. Device types are not client-specific so the
current client is not significant in the export/import of printer
definitions.
Parameters to be specified:
The radio buttons Device type/Form/Style/Standard text select the
transport object to be imported or exported.
Object name: Name of the standard text, style, form, or device type.
Mode: Export means download to file, IMPORT means upload from file.
File system: Allows you to choose whether the file is read/written
locally (GUI file system) or on the application server (default
setting).
Reward Points if it is Useful.
Thanks,
Manjunath MS.

Problem while importing the application in application express 3.0

Hi Friends
We have developed an application in a workspace say X. I imported the complete application in different workspace Y and the import was successfully. Now if I export a single page from that application in workspace X and import in workspace Y, then it gives me error as
"This page was exported from a different application or from an application in different workspace. Page cannot be installed in this application."
Also I tried changing the application id in the export file but did not work.
Is their a workaround for this?
(We are using application express 3.0.0.00.20)
Thanks
Minakshi

Hi Scott
1 ) Page exports are to be imported into an application having the same ID as the source application in the same named worskpace.
But the problem is I cannot have same application id in the same workspace or in different workspaces even. I exported the complete application from workspace X with application id as 555 and tried importing the application in workspace Y with the same application id. But that does not work since it throws the error message as the same application id cannot reside in 2 different workspaces.
2) You don't say whether workspaces X and Y are in the same or different databases.
Both the workspaces X and Y are in the same database. The database user/schema that is associated with workspaces X and Y are different.
3) Also I tried changing the application id in the export file but did not work.
Following is the extract of the page that i tried importing. The places wherever it is marked BOLD, i modified them in the original page export sql file.
--application/set_environment
prompt APPLICATION 500 - Load_Factor_System
