Installing APEX without Oracle Text Option

Hi,
Is it possible to install APEX 3.1.2 or 3.2 without the Text Option? The doc says yes, but the apex help can´t be used.
The last time i tried it on a customer side, i got an installation error (but i can´t remember the text of the error)
After installing Oracle TEXT it was ok.
Thanks
Marco

Marco,
I believe Oracle Text is required. This is from [Oracle Installation Document|http://download.oracle.com/docs/cd/E14373_01/install.32/e13366/pre_require.htm#CFHBDFEE] .
Tip:
The installer does a prerequisite check for Oracle Text and will exit if it is not installed.

APEX without Oracle HTTP Server 10gR2

Guys,
I know that you can run APEX in Oracle XE without requiring to install an HTTP server.
But I have heard that the same is now true if you are using Oracle 10gR2.
Is this the case and if it is can you answer the following questions :
a) How is it done ?
b) How is it configured ?
c) Is this the way forward for APEX or do you still see the need for the HTTP Server ?
d) How would you migrate from an APEX application developed and deployed using an HTTP Server to one which does not ?
Any answers would be very helpful as I have a client who is extremely reluctant to install the Oracle HTTP server and I think that if you could use one which is within the database then that may win them over to APEX development.
Regards
Chris

Search the Oracle XE forum for dbms_xdb and dbms_epg, however, I don't know if it's possible to do what you want. You may need to run XE.

APEX without Oracle database?

Can you run apex without an oracle database?

Apex is a tightly integrated application development environment based largely around PLSQL. It is included in Oracle 10 XE so is a great free solution for small to medium scale applications. Its pretty straight forward to migrate to Apex from Excel, Access, SQL Server and Oracle Forms. Or you can use database links to pull heterogenous data from other database systems into oracle. For example, I recently developed an application pulling JD Edwards data, with a SQL Server backend, into an oracle XE instance.
So it doesn't matter where the original data is, you just need to have a free oracle XE instance in the mix. I would also suggest that if the app out grew XE's limitations it would most likely be significant enough to justify the cost of a license for a more beefy version of oracle.

Installing apex on oracle se 10.2.0.1

I am moving an application which was developed under oracle XE to Oracle SE 10.2.0.1. The application uses apex, which is bundled with XE, but not with 10.2.0.1. Where I would like to get to is to have apex 3.1.2 running on top of an Oracle 10.2.0.1. (btw, this is all running on Linux/RedHat)
What I have done so far is:
- Install oracle se rdbms 10.2.0.1
- Install oracle htmldb and oracle http server 10.2.0.1 from the companion CD
This works so far.
- Upgrade oracle htmldb to apex 3.1.2.
I cannot get this to work. I am at the point in the install doc (pg 3-2) where I am supposed to stop and restart the ohs.
I can stop it, but when I try to restart it, it reports "Address already in use: make_sock: could not bind to port 7777".
This is the port previously used by ohs/htmldb.
I am finding the documentation for this provided by oracle horrendously poor compared to other product install docs.
My questions:
a) is the installation process I am following correct (install se, install htmldb, upgrade to apex)?
b) do I need to upgrade the rdbms to 10.2.0.3 (documentation does not indicate this anywhere)?
c) if this is all okay, how do I go about resolving the address in use error? If I use netstat -p -l before attempting to start ohs, I cannot find any
process listening or established on 7777. I assume it must be something ohs starts and then ohs attempts to use it.
Any ideas?
Werner

Hello,
is the installation process I am following correct (install se, install htmldb, upgrade to apex)?You don't need to install HTMLDB from the companion disk, you can just go right ahead and install the latest version of APEX, this saves the 'upgrade' step.
do I need to upgrade the rdbms to 10.2.0.3 (documentation does not indicate this anywhere)?No, you don't have to upgrade the DB, so long as it meets the minimum installation requirements. However it's usually a good idea to be running the latest patch release for the DB (although as I say this is certainly not a requirement).
if this is all okay, how do I go about resolving the address in use error? If I use netstat -p -l before attempting to start ohs, I cannot find any
process listening or established on 7777.How are you starting and stopping the OHS? If you look in the OHS logs, is there some additional information logged in there?

Error installing APEX on Oracle Database Express 10g

Hi all,
I received the following error report when trying to run the install the first time -

*Cause:    Attempt to execute a stored procedure or use a view that has

or references to other, non-existent procedures. For views,
the problem could be a reference in the view's defining query to
a non-existent table.
Can also be a table which has references to non-existent or
inaccessible types.
*Action:   Fix the errors and/or create referenced objects as necessary.
Also, when I tried to run the installation again, it won't run giving me an error that DB is not supported / cannot find the DB table..
Please help. I have NO idea how to proceed from here on..
Best Regards

Manual Install of Oracle Text and XDB for 11g

I can't find the Metalink manual install docs for Oracle Text and XDB. For unknown reasons the DB was created with out them. I see the docs for 9i and 10g, but not 11g.

Oracle Text (schema CTXSYS): additional licence costs?

Hi,
it's my understanding that through installing and using Oracle-Text (schema CTXSYS) no additional licence costs arise (for Oracle Enterprise Edition).
I'm asking this question in this forum just to be sure that my understanding is not wrong...
Many thanks
JH

As far as I know this is correct.
Oracle Text is neither listed as an Entreprise Edition option in US price list:
http://www.oracle.com/us/corporate/pricing/technology-price-list-070617.pdf
nor in Licensing Information:

Error when attempting to add Oracle Text using DBCA

Hi all -
I'm trying to add Oracle Text to my 10gR1 database using DBCA. The Oracle Text option is available, but when I attempt to add it I get the error message: "A tablespace for the database option Oracle Text is not found. Cannot install this option in the database." I have a SYSAUX tablespace, which I believe is the default tablespace for Text, so I'm not sure what the problem could be. I also tried manually adding Oracle Text by running catctx.sql but received the error message:
ERROR at line1:
ORA-39705: component 'CONTEXT' not found in registry
ORA-06512: at "SYS.DBMS_SYS_ERROR", line 86
ORA-06512: at "SYS.DBMS_REGISTRY", line 757
ORA-06512: at line 2
Any ideas or suggestions would be greatly appreciated. Thanks!

Hi,
this looks like a half way install, I think you should try to deinstall Oracle Text and then reinstall, have a look at note 280713.1 on Oracle Support

APEX ON ORACLE ENTERPRISE EDITION

Hi
Is it possible to install Apex on Oracle Enterprise Edition, and if yes, how? Is it simple enough to run scripts or does it takes something more?

MarcusO wrote:
I tought I need to say that I use Oracle Enterprise Edition 11 R1, do I need to install Installing Oracle HTTP Server with this one. Somebody said that it is required only with Oracle10
You need some kind of HTTP server: if you want a simple installation you have the choice of either using the Embedded PL/SQL Gateway (EPG) within the Oracle Enterprise Edition (same mechanism as with XE) or installing the Oracle HTTP server with MOD_PLSQL; instructions for either option are in the installation guide.
There is also the new/beta version Application Express Listener (as mentioned on the front page of this forum). I've not used it.

Oracle Text/Oracle Internet File System Installation/Configuration

Hi,
I have installed Oracle9i Database v9.0.1.0.0 on Linux. I would like to install Oracle 9i Internet File System as well. In the Oracle Internet File System pre-installation process, the pre-requisite for installing this is Oracle Text ( but optional ). How do I know that Oracle Text has been installed in the Oracle Universal Installer? If Oracle Text is installed, what is the best way to find out, it is configured properly?
Why am I asking this is, when I install Oracle Internet File System, I'm getting an error
"Unable to verify Oracle Text configuration. The following error occured:
oracle.ifs.utils.action.ActionFailedException : Oracle Text seems to be misconfigured".
Please help.
Thanks
Sriram

I think the problem is your database configuration.
You can reconfigure your database, it will hellp your database
have Oracle Text .
Before that, you need use Universal Installer, In Installed Products Tree, sure that you see
Oracle Text in the Oracle Database 9i node.

DHCP - Cannot add text option for VOIP phones in OES Linux

While working through this, I solved the issue, but decided to post this anyway as it may help others to find these sorts of errors.
I'm working on migrating from NetWare 6.5sp8 to OES11sp2. Client has Shoretel VOIP phones. Existing NetWare-based DHCP has no problem. Option 156 has been configured to give out the required text information that Shoretel phones require.
Problem is that I could not get the OES11 DHCP to run with that option. Nor could I migrate the existing option over - the Migration Tool (in OES11) says it successfully migrates DHCP, but I cannot start the dhcpd daemon. Error is that it failed, and in the rc.dhcpd.log file I see an error:
LDAP Line 26: unknown option dhcp.Shoretel_Boot.
LDAP Line 26: unexpected end of file
LDAP: cannot parse dhcpService entry 'cn=newdhcpservice,o=LIBRARY'
Configuration file errors encountered -- exiting
If I look in the file (created when LDAP reads DHCP config from eDirectory apparently) dhcp-ldap-startup.log I can see the problem entry at line 26:
option Shoretel_Boot "FTPSERVERS=172.30.43.8,COUNTRY=1,LANGUAGE=1,L AYER default-lease-time 259200 ;
This option does NOT show up in the newdhcpservice option when I look at it in ConsoleOne, or DSBROWSE, or DNS/DHCP Management Console.
This option DOES show up in the DNS/DHCPManagement Console if I look at the DHCP (NetWare) tab and look at Other DHCP Options for some of the configured subnets, but it actually has different text from the above, specifically:
FTPSERVERS=172.30.43.8,COUNTRY=1,LANGUAGE=1,LAYER2 TAGGING=1,VLANID=9
Note that it does not have a " character anywhere in the entry. This option is configured as a Global DHCP text option.
Novell TID 7009464 mentions the issue, though not for Option 156. In that TID there is this:
"Situation #2
Migrate a working DHCP server with DHCP options that are of type "Text" to an OES server.
Load the DHCP server service... it fails to load and gives similar errors to the ones listed above."
Under resolution the TID says to delete and recreate the dhcp service object without the text option and it will load. That doesn't work for me as I still get an LDAP error pointing to the Shoretel_Boot unknown option. (I dare not try deleting it from the NetWare DHCP config and risk breaking the client's phone system).
One of the options in the TID to fix this is to re-enter the data using the DNS/DHCP Management Console - but that didn't work.
Here is the answer:
First, the log files are misleading. The error message points to not being able to read the newdhcpservice object entry - but the problem was elsewhere. In fact the problem showed up in the logs even when there were no option 156 entries at all in any object inside the newdhcpservice or the newdhcpservice object itself. The problem existed in the NetWare configuration of the object for one of the dhcp subnets.
Specifically, there was an illegal character in the text entry for option 156 - the # character was in there, like this:
FTPSERVERS=172.30.43.8,COUNTRY=1,LANGUAGE=1,LAYER# 2TAGGING=1,VLANID=9
If you look at the error log entry for syntax error you can see that the option 156 text stopped at the # symbol, and then default-lease-time was appended to the end.
Removing the # symbol got things working.

Run apex in oracle 12c

i try to install apex in oracle 12c but it told me it's already installed
& when i run : http://localhost:8888/apex
it give me {"message": "Resource not found.", "type": "NoSuchResource", "brief": "error"}
how can i install & run apex in oracle 12c

Hi,
I would highly recommend that you review our OTN page about APEX in 12c, which explains that APEX 4.2.0.0.08 is installed by default in 12c. You'll also find some useful links to the 12c documentation regarding the multitenant architecture in 12c, and I recommend reviewing that information in order to understand the new architecture and how APEX is installed, etc. My colleague, Jason Straub, has also posted a number of blogs on this topic, which I would recommend that you take a look at. You'll also find a couple of threads on this topic. See:

Oracle Text in installing Oracle 10g without licence!!

Hi. Everyone.
I've read some thread , but I am still confused about "oracle text".
Now, I am testing oracle10g database.
I downloaded 10g software from www.oracle.com, and installed it sucessfully
on windows xp.
When I was trying to import a dump file from oracle9i to
the unlicenced oracle10g database, I got the error , IMP-00017, which
is related to "Oracle Text".
I checked "dba_users" dictionary, but ctxsys user is locked and expired.
I read some thread on this site, and according to the advice, I tried to
enable oracle text, using "DBCA".
However, every database option on DBCA is disabled, I was not able to
check oracle text.
Lastly, how can I enable "Oracle Text" with unlicenced oracle 10g ?
Is this possible without licence?
I am very confused about this.
I am looking forward to hear your experience and advices.
Have a nice day.
Best Regards.
Ho.

Well, instead of being confused, you could go to http://www.oracle.com/pls/db102/portal.portal_db?selected=1 and look at
1) the licensing document, which would tell you whether you need a separate license, and
2) under the 'Books' tab, look at the Text Application Developer's Guide or the Text Reference manuals for details.
You could also look for the Oracle Text forum (from the http://forums.oracle.com page, under Database - More, or Text and ask the people who concentrate on that set of features.
In general, Oracle Text is a set of extensions, the definitions for which are stored under user ctxsys. You would use these extensions by creating your own objects that are based on the extensions.
For example, suppose your tables contain varchar2 columns. Create indexes that are based on ctxsys's 'context index type' and your application can then use the 'CONTAINS' keyword search capability (which is effectively a ctxsys-owned extension to the select)
However, you would never log on to ctxsys and do anythibng with that as you risk changing the template code that Oracle has supplied.

PS: Yes, Oracle Text is included as part of the base database. Most of it is even included in the free Oracle XE database.
