Importing HTMLDB application through sql scripts

I have a question regarding importing application in HTML DB. We have developed an application in one of our instances and now we would like
to deploy the same in all other instances (around 180 instances). We will copy the schema objects through export / import from the backend (through a script). But to import the application, we need to logon to htmldb (from frontend ) and import it.
As we have to do it across 180 instances, its very difficult to do it after login to htmldb and import the application. We would like to know if we can import an application and workspace by running the sql scripts ( created by exporting application and workspace on source instance) in the sqlplus prompt.
In this regard could any one please let me know about the following things.
1. Can we directly run the sql's (which were created when we exported workspace and application) in the target database?.
2. If yes, from which user we should run this sql script (Presently we are using HTMLDB 2.0 version)
I have also noticed the following schemas are locked in the database.
FLOWS_020000
FLOWS_FILES
FLOWS_010500
3. Are there any extra steps which we need to do it after running the sql scripts in target instance.
4. Is there any way to delete the application and workspace from backend (i.e sqlplus) incase if we need to re-import the same application and workspace.
(This situation arises if we need to make any changes to the application after deploying it in the data center.)
Your help in this regard is highly appreciated.
Thanks in advance.

if we can import an application and workspace by running the sql scripts ( created by exporting application and workspace on source instance) in the sqlplus prompt
Yes, you can.
1. Yes.
2. The workspace export files need to be run as the FLOWS_nnnnnn schema (depending on which version of HTML DB is the active one, you seem to have both 1.5 and 2.0 installed). Yes, you would need to unlock the account first to do this.
3. If your application needs external CSS or Javascript or image files, you need to copy those over using standard OS file copy tools
4. Importing a application using SQL*Plus deletes the existing application first so you are fine. You would never need to delete a workspace, a workspace is just a "shell", a container for all your applications.
Hope this helps.

Dimension load through sql script generated by AWM

Hi,
I have taken the script which AWM has generated while loading a dimenson. I created it as a procedure in the schema where the AW having this dimension exists. The procedure works well when executed in this schema.
Now I want to load the dimension through other schema by executing the procedure. I did following to achieve this:-
1) Grant execute on the procedure is given to new schema
2) Grant all on aw$<aw name>(dim exits in this AW) to the new schema
When I try to run the procedure this give me following error:
Successoracle.AWXML.AWException: Action BUILDDATABASE failed on object XPRO_OLAP_WH.XPRO_OLAP_WH
Am I missing something?
Thanks
Brijesh

Which version?
If 11g, try the following too.
a) use object security (available via awm, right click on dimension and select object security) to give access to dimension for other schema
b) use keyword "AUTHID CURRENT_USER" in pl/sql package/procedure definition.
c)
grant OLAP_USER to <new_schema>;
grant OLAP_XS_ADMIN to <new_schema>;
Try a), b) first. Failing that, try a), b) and c).

Unable to install supporting objects(custom CSS/Images) through SQL

4.2.1
Hi there,
we have a Apex app which uses custom CSS/images loaded into shared objects CSS and image folders respectively. I followed the steps
http://nerd.net.au/29-apex-application-express/general-application/122-include-images-with-supporting-objects-on-apex-export-import
Now, this works fine when we manually import the application through application builder, it "prompts" if we want to install supporting objects, when yes is selected, everything gets installed.
MY problem is we have an automated patching process where the .sql application file gets installed but the supporting objects are not. So I tried bundling the supporting object as a separate .sql file but got an error
Testing options PL/SQL procedure successfully completed. declare * ERROR at line 1: ORA-20001: Package variable g_security_group_id must be set. ORA-06512: at "APEX_040200.WWV_FLOW_IMAGE_API", line 11 ORA-06512: at "APEX_040200.WWV_FLOW_IMAGE_API", line 31 ORA-06512: at
The supporting object is a button. Do I need to set the application id or security group id or something else?

Thanks Fac586! I did follow the process on those lines and was able to successfully get the images, application installed. The CSS which just had
body {
     background-color:#000000;
}Was also applied. However, it for some reason does not work. Looks like the CSS is not getting loaded. When I delete the CSS and upload it again through the shared components->CSS folder, it works fine. Not sure what the solution is!
Oh and by the way, thanks a ton for helping everyone!
Cheers,

How to execute SQL Script using windows powershell(using invoke-sqlcmd or any if)

OS : Windows server 2008
SQL Server : SQL Server 2012
Script: Test.sql (T-SQL) example : "select name from sys.databases"
Batch script: windows MyBatchscript.bat ( here connects to sql server using sqlcmd and output c:\Testput.txt)
(sqlcmd.exe -S DBserverName -U username -P p@ssword -i C:\test.sql -o "c:\Testoutput.txt) ---it working without any issues.....
This can execute if i double click MyBatchscript.bat file and can see the output in c:\testput.txt.
Powershell: Similarly, How can i do in powershell 2.0 or higher versions? can any one give full details with each step?
I found some of them online, but nowhere seen clear details or examples and it not executing through cmd line (or batch script).
example: invoke-sqlcmd -Servernameinstance Servername -inputfile "c:\test.sql" | out-File -filepath "c:\psOutput.txt" --(call this file name MyTest.ps1)
(The above script working if i run manually. I want to run automatic like double click (or schedule with 3rd party tool/scheduler ) in Batch file and see the output in C drive(c:\psOutput.txt))
Can anyone Powershell experts give/suggest full details/steps for this. How to proceed? Is there any configurations required to run automatic?
Thanks in advance.

Testeted the following code and it's working.....thanks all.
Execute sql script using invoke-sqlcmd with batch script and without batch script.
Option1: using Import sqlps
1.Save sql script as "C:\scripts\Test.sql" script in side Test.sql: select name from sys.databases
2.Save Batch script as "C:\scripts\MyTest.bat" Script inside Batch script:
powershell.exe C:\scripts\mypowershell.ps1
3.Save powershell script as "C:\scripts\mypowershell.ps1"
import-module "sqlps" -DisableNameChecking
invoke-sqlcmd -Servername ServerName -inputFile "C:\scripts\Test.sql" | out-File -filepath "C:\scripts\TestOutput.txt"
4.Run the Batch script commandline or double click then can able to see the output "C:\scripts\TestOutput.txt" file.
5.Connect to current scripts location cd C:\scripts (enter)
C:\scripts\dir (enter )
C:\scripts\MyTest.bat (enter)
Note: can able to see the output in "C:\scripts" location as file name "TestOutput.txt".
Option2: Otherway, import sqlps and execution
1.Save sql script as "C:\scripts\Test.sql" script in side Test.sql: select name from sys.databases
2.Save powershell script as "C:\scripts\mypowershell.ps1"
# import-module "sqlps" -DisableNameChecking #...Here it not required.
invoke-sqlcmd -Servername ServerName -inputFile "C:\scripts\Test.sql" | out-File -filepath "C:\scripts\TestOutput.txt"
3.Connect to current scripts location
cd C:\scripts (enter)
C:\scripts\dir (enter )

Can we execution sql script through java ?

Hi All,
Can we execute sql script ("name.sql") through java programe.
I am not talking about reading sql script one by one and excute.
I just want to send this sql script to oracle console.
Or any body can give other alternative I have to lot of db operation in less time.
- Vikas Kumar Sahu

Kumar,
not sure whether this is any help, but you can try and use the code below.
I've knocked it together in about an hour so it's far from production ready (particularly, assumes one-line comments starting with '#' and nothing else - queries are assumed multi-line, but terminated by ';' the following would cause trouble:
SELECT * FROM table; SELECT *
FROM another_table;
and, of course, you can't get to the ResultSet.
But, hey, it's a start!
Best,
Marco.

Exceuting SQL Script through java

Hi All
I am making an installer for my application. How do i execute a SQL script through java. Its a sepeate file that has the SQL script for DB creation.
Regards
Abhinav

If you database support ";" to separate sqll, then you can use Statement.execute(sql); to run all SQLscipt once, otherwise you need to load all sqls into Vector, then reun sql step by step. Copy some code for instance:
public final static Object[] getSQLStatements(String sqlFile) throws java.
io.IOException {
java.util.Vector v = new java.util.Vector(1000);
try {
java.io.BufferedReader br = new java.io.BufferedReader(new java.io.
FileReader(sqlFile));
java.util.Vector batchs = new java.util.Vector(10);
String temp;
while ( (temp = br.readLine()) != null) {
temp = temp.trim();
if (temp.length() == 0)
continue;
switch (temp.charAt(0)) {
case '*':
case '"':
case '\'':
// System.out.println(temp);
break; //Ignore any line which begin with the above character
case '#': //Used to begin a new sql statement
if (batchs.size() > 0) {
v.addElement(getSQLStatements(batchs));
batchs.removeAllElements();
break;
case 'S':
case 's':
case '?':
if (batchs.size() > 0) {
v.addElement(getSQLStatements(batchs));
batchs.removeAllElements();
v.addElement(temp);
break;
default:
batchs.addElement(temp);
break;
if (batchs.size() > 0) {
v.addElement(getSQLStatements(batchs));
batchs.removeAllElements();

Error While executing a SSIS package which contains a script task through SQL Server Agent job

Hi,
I have a SQL Server 2012 SSIS package with a script task along with other tasks [data flow, execute sql tasks ]. When I manually executed the job through BIDS, its completed successfully.
Then I have automated the execution of the package through SQL Server Agent Job. But when I executed the package through SQL Agent job, it runs successfully for all the tasks except script task. When it comes to execute the Script Task, it is getting failed
with the below error message.
"Error: 2012-08-29 12:45:14.67
Code: 0x00000001
Source: Script Task
Description: Exception has been thrown by the target of an invocation.
End Error
DTExec: The package execution returned DTSER_FAILURE (1).
Started: 12:45:10 PM
Finished: 12:45:14 PM

I have installed the SSIS on the 64-bit environment and SSIS service is running. Also I tried to run the job through 32 bit [job option] but I am getting the above error in all cases.
Any help will be greatly appreaciated !
Thanks,
Navin

Hi Arthur,
My script task access the excel files in a network share, refresh them all and save them. When I execute the ETL manually or thru DTEXEC, it is executing successfully. I am facing the issue when I am executing thru SQL Agent Job only. Logging also showing
the same error.

Migrate/Import/[etc.] PL/SQL Web-Toolkit Application to APEX

Hello all,
I've only recently learned about APEX and have dabbled with it for a little while, and I'm quite impressed with how amazingly quick it is to develop applications with it.
A few co-workers and myself are trying to convince "The Management" that we should pursue using APEX to develop our Enterprise Applications. Currently we write our web apps using the PL/SQL WebToolkit, accessing our applications at URL's like: http://host/dad/[package.]procedure .
Recently (within the past month) there was a convention in the Southern California region where I believe some people from TUSC presented on APEX. As I understand it, they said it was possible to migrate existing applications (written in packages and procedures) to APEX. I'm also told that it is possible to view the PL/SQL that is rendered by APEX to display the application.
We've practically sold our Director, however he has a few outstanding issues he's asked me to research, as he feels his boss would be most concerned with:
* How much effort will it take to migrate/import/etc the PL/SQL WebToolkit Application to APEX
* Should the need arise, how much effort would it take to move from APEX back to PL/SQL WebToolkit
I've tried researching these topics over the past few days and I haven't really come up with much. I realize that you can call PL/SQL packages/procedures/etc from within a region, but as I read on a thread in these forums ( How to jump from mod_plsql to APEX! ), you still won't be able to take advantage of the Items, Computations, Processes, etc. Is there, in fact, a way of importing a PL/SQL-developed Web Application into APEX to take advantage of all its tools? I would imagine it would be quite a feat to be able to create the items for the form fields, maintain the layout and such, but I need to provide my Director with as much information on these topics as possible.
Many of us developers are really excited at the prospect of developing with this tool; it would be a shame to lose the opportunity over not being able to provide any information on the topics above.
Thanks in advance for your assistance,
-Luis

Hi Luis,
I had a client a couple of years back who had an existing PL/SQL Web Toolkit application who used the htp.p etc calls to generate the HTML (and in some cases CSS) for their site. They were interested in using Application Express and asked me to design a new administration module for their site (which I did). The development went extremely smoothly so they then asked about re-writing their existing site in APEX (since maintaining the old site was not a straight-forward task).
Fortunately for me, the original designer had the foresight to put lots of the application logic into packages (which I could reuse), but I quickly (about 2 or 3 days from memory) created a custom theme and templates in APEX which gave the same look and feel as the existing site.
Personally, I think if you tried to re-use the existing htp.p calls (by using PL/SQL regions etc), then you would be missing out on some of the major advantages of using APEX (such as the ability to easily change the look and feel of your application).
I always think that migrating to a new tool/platform etc is a great opportunity to re-examine your existing code to perhaps see if you can do things differently (speed up those queries, perhaps make the navigation more logical etc).
So, yes you can certainly re-use lots of your existing packaged logic, but I would also take the leap and use the features that Application Express provides to make future maintenance of your application easier.
Just my thoughts.
John.

How to send csv file as an attachment

Can't import an application into HTMLDB.

I cannot import an application into HTMLDB. I have tried small applcations and even the sample application that comes with HTMLDB. The apache logs give me the error 'HTTP-404 ORA-00904: "CONTENT": invalid identifier' no matter what I try to import. This installation of HTMLDB is installed on a 10g database (10.1.3) and is using the Apache server from a 10gAS installation (9.0.4). We have several htmldb installations on 9.2.0.4 databases using both 10gAS(9.0.4) Apache and 9.0.3 Apache. This is the only installation that gives us any problem. All of our HTMLDB installations are 1.6.1.00.02. There are no invalids in the flows_01600 schema. Any ideas on how to resolve this issue.

I have created a dad on 9.0.3, and the import works. The dad in both are identical to what I can see. The 10gAS Apache logs has a preceding error message, here is the complete error messesages generated by the 10gAS Apache server when I try to import an application :
[Mon Jun 13 08:58:13 2005] [warn] [client 172.22.101.206] [ecid: 1118671093:172.23.5.52:11116:0:1608,0] mod_plsql: DMS Logging: Unable to open/create /modplsql.lck

You do not.
.dmp files are created from our Export and Data Pump database utilities and are proprietary files. You use the corresponding Import (or Data Pump) utility to import the data.

Dynamic SQL queries in HTMLDB application

How can i build a HTMLDB page only for dynamic sql queries like the features in the HTMLDB SQL-workshop.
I need a SQL interface for some power user running some ad-hoc queries.
Can i call this page directly from any other HTMLDB application?
Regards
Martin

Hello Martin,
I am a beginer in APEX but I have the same problem with you. What are your solution for dynamic sql query ? For report a solution is Pl Sql procedure which return a sql query. But for a form ?
