Installing Oracle Apex

I am a University Lecturer who teaches Database Design and would like to make the move to using APEX as a tool for the students to create tables , create forms etc. I have used the evaluation site myself and think that it's a great tool and very easy to use. I have approx. 150 students.
At the moment, we are using SQL*Developer which I am not too keen on.
How much work is there in setting up APEX for approx 150 users? We have a DBA but he is not happy that I have made this request. He said there is far too much work involved and is beyond his knowledge of expertise.

Hi
The installation of APEX itself should be relatively quick (up to an hour or so - normally takes me about 30 minutes including a quick test but I've done it many times, maybe more if having different environments, testing etc.), you can then set-up a mechanism whereby students can request their own workspaces (this is built in to APEX) or you could create them all manually yourself. It depends how quick you are at clicking and typing!
You can do this yourself with admin privileges once the DBA has completed the APEX installation.
Cheers

suresh.m2015,
It's going to be impossible for anyone in this forum to help with your issue if you don't provide any more detail about your environment and Apex installation. However, from your post it looks like the Apex database objects are missing or invalid.
Did you follow the Apex installation guide step by step? For example, did you run apexins.sql?
It's important to follow the documentation. The script you are running to change the admin user password should not be run until after the Apex installation is complete.

Installing Oracle Apex 3.2 on Oracle 10g Database Steps

Hi,
I am new to installation of oracle apex and oracle 10g Enterprise Edition. I had earlier installed Oracle 10g XE and Apex 3.2 in my location machine.
Now I need to install Oracle apex 3.2 on oracle 10g enterprise edition
I did the following steps:
Step 1: I installed Oracle 10g Enterprise edition
Step 2: Installed Oracle apex 3.2 on my location Machine with the below steps again
1> SQL> CONNECT SYS as SYSDBA
2> apexins SYSAUX SYSAUX TEMP /i/
3> @apxchpwd (Changed the admin password)
4> @apxldimg.sql SYSTEM_DRIVE:\APEX32 ( local system path)
Step 3: What is the next step, Please suggest me how to get the host name and port number I am bit confused here also suggest me is the above step which i followed is correct or not?
Earlier when i installed oracle XE i had the local host path as a shortcut to get. Here i cant find that. Please suggest me how to get the URL link to access the apex link
I followed the same process how it is mentioned in this link http://docs.oracle.com/cd/E14373_01/install.32/e13366/otn_install.htm#insertedID2

So if you have installed on your workstation/laptop you can simply try http://localhost:8080/apex

Installing Oracle Apex in a PDB

Hi Guys,
I just want to know when you install Apex in a PDB does the CDB and PDB have to have the same port number in order to access the Apex Admin page.
I have the following set up:
PDB1   Port - 5502   (With successful Apex install)
CDB     Port - 8080
I am still unable to access the Apex Admin page via a browser.
Please let me know if you have any ideas. Thank you kindly

     No, if you have installed Oracle APEX in PDB there is no need to have HTTP port set in CDB$ROOT. In fact, I have XDB HTTP Port set to 0 in CDB$ROOT and have XDB HTTP port 8080 set for PDB1.
     Regarding not able to access APEX admin page via browser:
     Do you get blank pages when you try to access APEX:
     http://localhost:5502/apex
     http://localhost:5502/apex/apex_admin
     If yes this is the problem of images not loaded properly to XDB. You have to re-run the apex_epg_config.sql with correct path for images.
     Refer : Re: apex 5.0 with xe 11g problem "Configuring Static File Support"
     Also check whether 5502 or any other port you set for XDB is free on your OS.
     Also check whether the database is up and the PDB is up and is in READ WRITE state.
     Refer : ORACLE-BASE - Multitenant : Startup and Shutdown Container Databases (CDB) and Pluggable Databases (PDB) in Oracle Datab…
     Also check that the database listener is up and running.
     Hope this helps!

Do I have to make Oracle XE listener working before I install Oracle APEX?

Hi, guys:
I have a question: Do I have to make Oracle XE listener working before I install Oracle APEX 4.2? I have installed Oracle XE 11g on windows 7, however, I got problem to run Oracle XE listener, though Oracle XE itself is running. Since my purpose is to run Oracle APEX I was wondering if I have to make Oracle XE listener working at first.
Thanks for your comments!
Sam

Hi, Jarola:
Thanks for your help! My supervisor asked us to install Oracle XE, OC4J, and APEX listener in our local PC (windows 7 64 bits). I guess his purpose is to train us to install APEX 4.2 eventually. I installed OC4J and APEX listener before without much problem; but I have difficulty to install Oracle XE on windows 7 64 bits version as so far Oracle XE only supports 32 bits windows. after I installed Oracle XE, I got these problems:
#1 the Oracle XE itself is running, but XE listener cannot work, it always reports "the Oracle OracleXETNSListener service started and then stopped, some service stop automatically if they are not in use by other services or programs.",
#2 It looks Oracle_home of XE conflicts with that of OC4J. I tried to set ORACLE_HOME as "C:\OC4J\oc4j_extended_101350;C:\oraclexe\app\oracle\product\11.2.0\server", but OC4J cannot find config file so I cannot start OC4J. it is messed up.
#3 most of all, I was wondering if you could tell me the relationship among Oracle XE, OC4J, and APEX listener regarding installing APEX 4.2, are they all necessary to install APEX 4.2? if so, could you guide me to install these things with proper steps (say, which one should be installed first?)? any of your suggestion would be very appreciated! (I have tried two weeks without progress...)

Create PDF from PL/SQL-Interface XML FOP / Oracle BI / Oracle APEX packages

Hi All,
I think this is perhaps the most often asked question. And people suggest using PL-FPDF or PL PDF. There is a constraint, I can't use PL PDF because of monetary reasons.
I wish I could use some method to output PDF from the PL/SQL. I already have a document (word document stored as CLOB). Now, I need to output this file as PDF. I know doing this outside database is easy and advisable, but this what I have been asked to do.
Is there any method of implementation, using either XML - FOP or Oracle BI publisher or Oracle APEX tools (and not Oracle APEX itself, I know how to do this if the application is built, run using Oracle APEX, but this is plain Oracle HTP).
Database: Oracle 9.2 running in Windows server.
Thanks in advance.
Guru

Apologies for that.
I am looking into ways to use Apex. Like calling the FOP in Oracle OC4J server and generating PDF from it. As I told already, we have this application built on Oracle HTP, we can't move to Oracle Apex now. I can install Oracle APEX and use the tools it offers. No problem in that.
PL-FPDF is free, but I can see this doesn't help much. What I have is CLOB, not data from table. :(
I am just looking into different ways one can do this.

As Sybrand said - not the correct forum.
But to point you in a direction - you also need the image directory (containing Apex 4 images, stylesheets and javascript) installed and configured.
Without that, Apex will not work.
When you installed/upgraded Apex, you specified an image URL. The default is +/i/+. This URL needs to serve the image directory of Apex 4 (this ships with the Apex 4 zip).
If you EPG, then you need to load the contents of this image dir into Oracle XDB (the XML database component of your Oracle instance). If you use Apache (aka Oracle's http application server), you need to copy this to the Apache document root and update the dads.conf file with an alias entry that provides the +/i/+ alias and points to the local physical directory containing the image contents.

Help: need to extract an application from oracle/apex directory

Hi, all!
I worked on oracle10xe and apex 1.3.1 and then messed with partition table a bit so got my windows crashed and I don't believe i'll be able to restore it.
so what i have is an oracle directory from the long-dead windows with apex inside, and i need to extract the applications and the data i was working with somehow.
Any thoughts?
Does anybody knows where does oracle store all its databases and where apex keeps its applications?
oraclexe\oradata\xe\ has some .dbf files in it, will it work if i just write them over in a newly installed oracle+apex?

Hello,
At this point, since you can't turn to Oracle Support (since it is XE), then I would suggest asking amongst your colleagues/friends/etc and trying to find a friendly DBA who will try and help you out for a beer or 3.
Depending on how critical your work was, I wouldn't throw away all hope of recovering your database until you've exhausted all the options.
John.

Install Oracle 11g without APEX installation

Hi,
Since I don't want to use the embedded PL/SQL gateway as the default Web server, can I just install Oracle 11g database software with any APEX and PL/SQL gateway installation? I prefer to manually install APEX 3.2 to make sure that everything is clean.
Also, can Oracle 11g use Apache 2 version of the Oracle HTTP Server?
Thanks.
Andy

Andy:
You can simply install APEX 3.2 over the version that is already in the 11g database. The OHS supplied with 11g cn be used to access your APEX installation.
You can disable HTTP access to the database by executing the following as the sys user
exec dbms_xdb.sethttpport(0);

Install Oracle 11gR2 Express Edition on Ubuntu Linux 11.04 (64-bit) Howto

h2. Install Oracle 11gR2 Express Edition on Ubuntu Linux 11.04 (64-bit) Howto
Version: B
Author: Dude, 24. May 2011
The following are step by step instructions how to install Oracle 11gR2 Express Edition (Beta) under Linux Ubuntu 11.04, 64-bit.
Access to the Internet is required.
The instructions cover the following additional topics:
- Converting Red Hat based Oracle XE installer to Ubuntu.
- Work-around for missing /sbin/chkconfig tool.
- Install Oracle XE into a different directory or disk volume.
- Relocate and configure the Oracle user and default login directory.
- Uninstall, reconfigure and perform first database backup.
- Notes and web links.
- Troubleshooting
h3. A) System Setup and Prerequisites
h4. A.1. System Access
You will need terminal command line, root and system console access to perform the setup tasks.
To open a Terminal at the system console:
Menu Applications > Accessories > TerminalThe following commands will enable remote ssh login with root access:
sudo apt-get install openssh-server
sudo passwd root
Verify:
ssh root@xe_server_host_nameh4. A.2. Software Prerequisites
The following is required in order to install Oracle 11gR2 XE:
sudo apt-get install alien libaio1 unixodbcThe following is not required, but it will fix backspace and arrow keys in case you prefer using the vi-editor:
sudo apt-get install vimh4. A.3. System Swap space
Minimum swap space required is 2 GB. You can increase swap space if necessary using a swap file:
To analyze current swap space and memory configuration:
sudo cat /proc/meminfo
To install a 1 GB swapfile named swapfile in /, for example:
sudo dd if=/dev/zero of=/swapfile bs=1024 count=1048576
(this may take a while)
sudo mkswap /swapfile
sudo swapon /swapfile
sudo cp /etc/fstab /etc/fstab.orig
sudo echo '/swapfile swap swap defaults 0 0' >> /etc/fstab
Verify:
sudo swapon -a
sudo swapon -sh4. A.4. Kernel Parameters
Oracle 11g XE requires the following additional kernel parameters:
sudo nano /etc/sysctl.d/60-oracle.conf
(Enter the following)
# Oracle 11g XE kernel parameters
fs.file-max=6815744
net.ipv4.ip_local_port_range=9000 65000
kernel.sem=250 32000 100 128
kernel.shmmax=536870912
(Save the file)
Note: kernel.shmmax = max possible value, e.g. size of physical RAM.
Verify: sudo cat /etc/sysctl.d/60-oracle.conf
Load new kernel parameters:
sudo service procps start
Verify:
sudo sysctl -q fs.file-max
-> fs.file-max = 6815744h4. A.5. Oracle Installation Directory
The current Oracle Installation Guide uses the same directory like in previous versions: /usr/lib/oracle/xe/app/oracle/product/11.2.0/server. However, the current Beta installation uses Oracle Flexible Architecture (OFA) and installs into /u01/app/oracle/product/11.2.0/xe. Due to size limitations of Oracle XE it may not be necessary to store the installation to a specific directory or separate volume, but it is possible:
Install Oracle XE to separate disk volume:
From the system console menu: System > Administration > Disk Utility
Select "ext3" filesystem for Oracle compatibility and specify a Volume label, e.g. Oracle.
Notice the device name e.g. /dev/sdb
Get the drive UUID:
sudo blkid
e.g. /dev/sdb: UUID="d19a2d8f-da43-4802-8bdb-0703c855e23a"
Modify /etc/fstab to automatically mount the volume at system startup:
sudo cp /etc/fstab /etc/fstab.original
sudo nano /etc/fstab
(Add the following, using determined UUID, for exmple)
UUID=d19a2d8f-da43-4802-8bdb-0703c855e23a /u01 ext3 defaults,errors=remount-ro 0 1
(Save the file)
Create the mount-point, mount the new volume and set ownership and privileges:
sudo mkdir /u01
sudo mount -a
sudo chown root:root /u01
sudo chmod 755 /u01
Verify:
df -h
or restart the systemYou can also install Oracle XE into a specific directory:
Create a symbolic link to store the installation into an existing directory, for instance:
sudo mkdir /home/oracle-xe
sudo ln -s /home/oracle-xe /u01h3. C) Oracle 11g XE Download and Installation
h4. C.1. Download and convert the Installer from Red Hat to Ubuntu
Please see section E.3. to download the Oracle 11gR2 XE installer.
Select the version listed for Linux x64.
sudo unzip linux.x64_11gR2_OracleXE.zip
sudo alien --to-deb --scripts oracle-xe-11.2.0-0.5.x86_64.rpm
(This may take a while)h4. C.2. Create a special chkconfig script
The Red Hat based installer of Oracle XE 11gR2 beta relies on +/sbin/chkconfig+, which is not used in Ubuntu. The chkconfig package available for the current version of Ubuntu produces errors and my not be safe to use. Below is a simple trick to get around the problem and install Oracle XE successfully:
Create /sbin/chconfig:
sudo nano /sbin/chkconfig
(Cut and paste the following)
#!/bin/bash
# Oracle 11gR2 XE installer chkconfig hack for Debian by Dude
file=/etc/init.d/oracle-xe
if [[ ! `tail -n1 $file | grep INIT` ]]; then
   echo >> $file
   echo '### BEGIN INIT INFO' >> $file
   echo '# Provides:             OracleXE' >> $file
   echo '# Required-Start:       $remote_fs $syslog' >> $file
   echo '# Required-Stop:        $remote_fs $syslog' >> $file
   echo '# Default-Start:        2 3 4 5' >> $file
   echo '# Default-Stop:         0 1 6' >> $file
   echo '# Short-Description:    Oracle 11g Express Edition' >> $file
   echo '### END INIT INFO' >> $file
fi
update-rc.d oracle-xe defaults 80 01
(Save the file)
Set appropriate execute privileges:
chmod 755 /sbin/chkconfig
Note: You should remove the /sbin/chkconfig file after successful installation of Oracle XE.
h4. C.3. Install and configure Oracle XE
sudo dpkg --install ./oracle-xe_11.2.0-1.5_amd64.deb
/etc/init.d/oracle-xe configure
(This will take a while)
Remove the /sbin/chkconfig script, which is no longer needed.
sudo rm /sbin/chkconfigh4. C.4. Relocate and Configure the Oracle user login
The Oracle XE installer specifies /u01/app/oracle as the login directory for the Oracle user. Although not really necessary, the following will relocate the Oracle user $HOME to a standard location and create standard /etc/skel login files:
Exit all Oracle user sessions:
sudo /etc/init.d/oracle-xe stop
sudo kill -9 `ps -ef | grep oracle | grep -v grep | awk '{print $2}'`
sudo userdel oracle
sudo useradd -s /bin/bash -G dba -g dba -m oracle
sudo passwd oracle
Verify:
sudo id oracle
-> uid=1001(oracle) gid=1001(dba) groups=1001(dba)h4. C.5. Setup Oracle environment variables
In order to use sqlplus and other tools, the Oracle account requires certain environment variables. The following will set these variables automatically at every interactive Oracle login:
sudo echo '. /u01/app/oracle/product/11.2.0/xe/bin/oracle_env.sh' >> /home/oracle/.bashrch4. C.6. Oracle sudo root access
It is not essential to allow the Oracle user to use sudo, but it is convenient:
usermod -G admin oracle
Verify:
id oracle
-> uid=1001(oracle) gid=1001(dba) groups=1001(dba),120(admin)
sudo su -
-> Enter Oracle account passwordh4. C.7. Oracle 11g XE Post-installation
After you install Oracle Database XE, its graphical user interface is only available from the local server, but not remotely.
The following will correct the problem if necessary:
Login as user Oracle or use:
su - oracle
sqlplus / as sysdba
At the SQL prompt, enter the following command:
EXEC DBMS_XDB.SETLISTENERLOCALACCESS(FALSE);
exith3. D) Unintstall, Reconfigure and Troubleshooting
h4. D.1. Uninstall Oracle 11g XE
The following will completely uninstall and remove Oracle 11g XE:

Edited by: Dude on May 25, Version B: various corrections. chkconfig package (A.2.) not required.

even though I am admin user.Admin user is a MS Windows term, that does not apply to Linux or Unix in the same fashion.
The configuration script tells you "You must be root user to run the configure script. Login as root user and
then run the configure script."
This is most likely correct because your account is not root and does not have UID 0. What you can do is to login as root e.g. sudo su -, as the message suggest, or use "sudo /etc/init.d/oracle-xe configure", provided your account is defined in the /etc/sudoers file to perform root/admin actions.
Btw, do not modify /etc/passwd and /etc/group to give you admin privileges or try to create a another root account under a different name. That's not the way it works and usually leads to nasty problems.

Need help on installing Oracle Application express 3.2

Hi,
I had downloaded Oracle 11g database and installed the personal edition.I got the Enterprise manager login page working and also the DBConsole
I had Downloaded APEX 3.2 and wanted to install apex 3.2.I wanted to do the following scenario
Scenario 3: Install from the Database and Configure the Embedded PL/SQL
Gateway
Planning to do these steps: ( I have few questions on these steps and are below each step)
■ Running the apxconf.sql Configuration Script
Do I have to install Oracle Application express or is it already installed in 11g personal edition?
Do I have to create a seperate database or schema for this step( I have only one instance orcl1) ?■ Verifying the Oracle XML DB HTTP Server Port
Can I do this step in my current orcl1 instance,if so which user■ Enabling Oracle XML DB HTTP Server
Once I carry out these steps, Can I access the admin page for apex with https://localhost:port/apex_admin ?
Am I missing any other steps ?
Thanks

I have one idea..
Try to install again:
1) download and unzip apex_3.2 in $ORACLE_HOME
You will have:
$ORACLE_HOME/apex - old directory
$ORACLE_HOME/apex_3.2 - new directory
2) in command line go to $ORACLE_HOME/apex_3.2/apex
run sqlplus "/as sysdba"
in sqlplus run @apexins tablespace_apex tablespace_files tablespace_temp images
Where:
tablespace_apex is the name of the tablespace for the Oracle Application Express application user.
tablespace_files is the name of the tablespace for the Oracle Application Express files user.
tablespace_temp is the name of the temporary tablespace.
images is the virtual directory for Oracle Application Express images. To support future Oracle Application Express upgrades, define the virtual image directory as /i/.
Example:
@apexins SYSAUX SYSAUX TEMP /i/
3) check installation log for errors
4) in command line go to $ORACLE_HOME/apex_3.2/apex
run sqlplus "/as sysdba"
in sqlplus run @apxconf
set admin password
set port
5) run @apxldimg.sql $ORACLE_HOME/apex_3.2
6) check for running listener and try to login apex: http:\\host:port\apex\apex_admin
Good luck!

Installing one APEX for multiple databases servers.

Hello, everyone.
I'm new on this world of Oracle solutions, and I would like
very much your help.
Here in my company I have five database servers, and I want to install
the Oracle Apex in a way that I only need access one webpage and have
the possibility to edit all the database.
For instance:
Imagine that I have five machines and each one has a instance of one database.
I would instal the Apex on each machine. But I would like to open the Apex on
my browser only once, and have the capability to work with all databases.
It would be like the Apex had a scrollbar and I could choose wich database to work.
Is that possible? If it is, could be done with XML DB server? What is the best HTTP server to use in this case?
Thanks for your attention.
Sorry if I wasn't clear, I'm new and I'm learning.
Regards, Leandro R. de Freitas.

Hi,
as you describe this, it is not possible. An Apex instance is installed in an Oracle instance and is as a result is tied very closely to that instance.
That being said, it is still possible to access data in different database instances from a seperate database by the use of database links, though this is can be a little complicated and not always desirable from a performance point of view. Whether this is desirable in your instance depends on the architecture of your applications.
For example, if your 5 different instances are part of one distributed application, it may be desirable to install Apex in one instance that may be termed the master instance and have it access data from the other instances via database links, which should already exist in a distributed application.
On the other hand, if your applications are quite distinct, then I would see it as desirable to have seperate installations of Apex in each instance. This would enable different release cycles and versioning if required, lead towards better performance and avoid single point of failure. If you need a united front end to these applications then you could maybe create a gateway application on one of the Apex instances, though how you deal with sign on would depend on your architecture eg Single Sign on vs LDAP etc. You could simply create an HTML page somewhere on your intranet that points to these applications and then let each application deal with sign on.
I hope this helps.
