Integrate ApEx application with Websheet application

I have links in my ApEx application branching to a websheets data grid. (another application)
How should I do the setup to avoid the users to login again?

Hi,
I have the same requirement but didn't have any more luck. Is this possible?
Session 0 doesn't work, &APP_SESSION. neither.
We could try to hack the custom authentication schemes and build our own session sharing cookie mechanism. Did anybody try that?
Thanks,

Session state variables across multiple ApEx applications

We have a suite of loosely integrate ApEx applications that all share a common authentication scheme. When you first log in we attempt to load a series of session state variables with temporary data to streamline various logging and authentication related activities for the life of the session.
However, these session variables seem to disappear when you move from one application to another, so they are not truly tied to just the "session" which carries over across all applications, but the application from which the session state is set.
What is the suggested way, keeping in mind that the data being held may have security related context, to preserve values during a session, but regardless of which ApEx application you are in.
The method we are using to share the authentication is using a common "Cookie Name" from a common subscribed authentication scheme as suggested elsewhere on this site and seems to work very well outside of this specific issue.
Thanks in advance,
Barney

Apologies for the delay getting back on this.
My use of the word "disappear" was probably misleading. They were not visible from the second application. When setting "Session State" I was under the impression that it was setting it for the authenticated session, not for the specific application. (I am referring to the: apex_util.set/get_session_state).
Your solution will work fine, as long as I know which application the user last authenticated against. However, it could be one of over 30 (and growing) different applications which would require me writing a program to go through every "p_flow" to try and find a valid value every time I need to reference the field.
It would be really beneficial if you could store true Session variables which stay alive for the life of the authenticated session and is available to anything authenticated against that session id. This would streamline alot of cross-application program development.
The "get/set_session_state" is a misleading as it is not a Session value, but an Application value. The Session exists across multiple applications, while this procedure does not.
Thanks,
Barney

Integrating apex form with oracle portal

Afternoon friends,
I have got a senario like integrating apex form with oracle portal.I dont have any idea on oracle portals.so please let me know the basic steps on how to go ahead to integrate apex forms with oracle portal and for that what i need to have apart with my database and apex.

Hello
Couldn't see my previous post... so here it is again
We have integrated Apex into Oracle Portal
Here's how we did it.
In the portal page, we have created an Element region with the following code:
<script language="Javascript">
   
</script>
<p><iframe width="100%" height="500" frameborder="0" onload="javascript: changeIframeHeight();" src="/pls/apex/f?p=115:10" marginheight="0" marginwidth="0" name="apexIframe" id="apexIframe"></iframe></p>You just have to make sure that the name and id of the iFrame and the elementId in the javascript are the same.
And change the SRC so that it point you application.
Hope that helped you.

Integrate an Apex Application with the E-Business Suite 11i

Hi !
I'm currently working to get connected to APEX (Application Express 3.2.1.00.11) using an E-Business Suite 11i form function then using the ICX cookie.
I'm using a document created by Rod West(consultant at Cabot Consulting) to help me doing this connection.
The document is : http://www.oracle.com/technology/products/database/application_express/pdf/apex_ebs_wp_cabot_consulting.pdf
I always have errors when I try to get connected using the method suggested in the document.
The error I have received is :
ORA-00942: table or view does not exist ORA-00942: table or view does not exist ORA-06512: at "APPS.ICX_SEC", line 2388 ORA-06510: PL/SQL: unhandled user-defined exception
This error seems to come from wfa_sec.getsession(:P101_USERNAME) used in the Before Header process of the login page(Page101).
See code here (Figure 10 in the document) :
BEGIN
wfa_sec.getsession(:P101_USERNAME);
:P101_PASSWORD :=
XXAPX_SECURITY_PKG.generate_hash
(FND_GLOBAL.user_name);
IF :P101_PASSWORD IS NOT NULL THEN
APEX_CUSTOM_AUTH.login(
P_UNAME => :P101_USERNAME,
P_PASSWORD => :P101_PASSWORD,
P_SESSION_ID => v('APP_SESSION'),
P_APP_PAGE => :APP_ID||':1'
END IF;
EXCEPTION WHEN OTHERS THEN NULL;
END;
I have done a "GRANT EXECUTE ON apps.WFA_SEC" to my APEX Schema, so the APEX Schema should have access to everything used by the package... I have tried to "GRANT EXECUTE ON" ICX_SESSIONS but I still have the same error...
Do I need to do other "GRANT" ? Have you experienced the same problem ?
Thanks for your help !

Hi !
Yes, I have already created synonyms but I still got the same errors...the error seems to be related to a table used in the package icx_sec...I have tried to grant and create synonym for tables icx_transactions and icx_sessions but I still got the error. Any ideas ?
I have also tried to use the method (OWA_COOKIE.send) suggested in the 2007 version of the Rod West's document (the method you mentionned in the thread) and I'm able to get connected to my APEX application using the E-Business Menu but I have an intermittent problem with this method.. In fact, some days I'm able to get connected to APEX at the first try but some days I received "Invalid Login Credentials" at the first try and at the second try I get connected...And we haven't found any reasons yet for the intermittent "Invalid Login Credentials" ?
Have you experienced the same intermittent problem on your side ?
Thanks !

Websheets: create link to APEX application in same workspace

Hi all,
I'm trying some things with websheets in APEX 4.0.2 and I'm getting quite satisfied about it.
Let's assume I have this situation:
app_id 110 : database application with alias MAIN
app_id 120 : database application with alias SEC
app_id 130 : websheet application
They all use the same authentication function, which works fine.
App 110 and 120 use the same authentication cookie and there are links between these two applications. No problem at all.
Now, I want to include links to and from the websheet application.
The link to the websheet is easy: ws?p=130:HOME:&SESSION. So far so good and no log-in required.
A link from inside the websheet application to a database application is something else.
I've already found how to use markup syntax to link to another page in the same websheet
[[HOME | Home link]]and to an external website
[[http://www.oracle.com | Oracle]]But I can't find the syntax to link to a database application in the same workspace as the websheet.
I could use
[[http://<myserver>.<mydomain>/apex/f?p=MAIN:HOME | Home application]]But this is not working flexible. I want to leave out everything before f?p
If I would install these three applications on antother server, my link won't work anymore.
Also, I can't find a way to include the session id. &SESSION. isn't working. So with the above syntax, I would have to re-login in my database application.
Then I tried this
[[f?p=MAIN:HOME | Home application]]But this isn't working at all. The websheet shows me the create page wizard and fills in the name of the page: f?p=MAIN.
Can anyone help me out on this?
Am I expecting to much from websheets at the moment, is this a missing feature or am I doing something wrong?
Thanks in advance!
Regards,
Bart

Hi,
Sorry originally I thought you were linking to websheets not from, I don't think websheets have the same capability as a database application, so i don't think apex picks up on substitution strings. Im not sure how processing with websheets work, but I think its very minimal.
Ive tried it myself, is there a reason you need the session? If I leave the session blank I can get back to the database application, I cant vouch if you're starting from your websheet but I imagine that apex will fill it in for you as its an apex url.
Cheers
Huia

Apex application registered with sso as partner application

We have 1 apex app registered with sso and working properly.
I just registered a new apex application with sso. when i authenticate through sso, it directs me to the originally registered application.
I went in through the portal administrator app and verified my settings all pointed to the new application. I verified that my dad is set up correctly.
Any ideas?
APEX 2.0

i did register and obtain the keys through portal admin.
to ensure i used the proper keys (i guess there is a possibility i used the keys from db1 registration) i re-ran regapp with the right keys but recieved the following output:
SQL> @regapp

any ideas?

Problem with logging in to apex application builder listener

I have problem with my settings and am posting this in hope that someone else out there had similar problem and solved it!
I am trying to use reverseproxy to access to our db through apex listener.
It's been all set-up and I can login to the application it self either through proxy or no proxy using the listener.
But when I try to login to apex application builder I cannot do it through proxy(with no proxy, it works).
It just refreshes the login page when I click login....
I tried to upgrade the listener to the latest v1.1(using 1.0.2) but it causes my tomcat to crash...
So solution i am looking for is how to make logging in work through proxy..
In the firebug it is showing that below and few other request status as 302 moved temporariry
http://myserver:8080/testsin/apex/wwv_flow.accept
Where as with no proxy it is saying Found.....
Any thoughts??
Thanks
Sin K

Hello Sin K,
so proxy and Tomcat are located on different machines as well? Is the proxy able to commuicate with the Tomcat on the configured internal ports and is the proxy able to lookup the hostname you configured for the Tomcat?
For the connector, the proxyName and proxyPort should be the parameters the client uses to call APEX. So if your clients should call via http://proxyserver:8080/testsin/apex the settings would be
proxyName=proxyserver
proxyPort=8080Reason for this is that applications (e.g. the APEX Listener) generate there URL references with these parameters.
But does your proxy actually serve on port 8080? And is that port accessible by clients? Do clients accept cookies from that server?
In my case, there is only one 302 which redirects to http://host:port/apex/f?p=4500:1000:sessionid which is correct.
If you look into your first post request in firebug, what's in the request header?

APEX application development with an existing data model

Dear all,
We - as a company - are trying to build an application in ApEx with an existing data model. The idea is that the data model that has all sorts of TAPIs and business rules defined is going to be re-used in an ApEx environment. I am actually wondering whether this is possible, wise, feasible. When I am building some simple pages on one specific table, which has approx. 35 fields, sometimes the triggers around that table fail. Before I am actually going to dive in to try and sort these problems I am wondering whether this use of a data model in an ApEx environment is wise.
I mean, when you build an ApEx application there are usually no triggers and TAPIs available. My logic is that the ApEx application can look after validation and stuff.
Does anybody experienced have anything smart and useful to say about this. Any feedback is appreciated.
Kind regards,
-victorbax
-leiderdorp, the netherlands

Hey vik,
At my company we rarely use the standard APEX wizards because of multi-linguility (on data level) and error management issues.
We always create an API in PL/SQL and call the procedures for APEX making APEX the 'view' layer in a kind of model-view-controller architecture.
The main thing to keep in mind is maintainability, if you're working with an existing datamodel with an API that works it's probably best to just created forms and reports through APEX and then calling the appropriate pl/sql (packaged) procedure manually. We believe that this kind of architecture has the downside of being a little more work initially but it's much easier to maintain large projects through a self written API and take care of issues like error handling, logging and multi-linguility through a self written API.
Kind Regards,
Geert Guldentops

Websheet functionality in normal apex application

Hellow,
I was wondering if it was possible to get some functionalities of the websheet aplications to a normal APEX application.
What i need is:
- The possibilitie to copy pase .xls data into a datagrid
- Have an existing dynamic report using that datagrid ("data selection" instead of "Saved Report")
- Stil be able to insert, print, edit,...
This is just the websheet functionality "Create Data Grid" "Copy and Paste" , and then have a data selection on that datagrid.
Thanks
Mathias

I want to integrate captivate quiz with my flex application.

I am new to flex. I want to integrate flex application with captivate quiz. I could not find good documentation for this. Can any one please give me some url to find good documentation or some example. Thank you

I'm interested in using FLEX to create a widget that I load INTO a Captivate project. How would that change this approach?

Deploying APEX application with web host

Hi guys,
Whats the process of deploying APEX application with a webHost?
We got a good deal from a web host with dedicated database, it still being processed.
Currently we have a domain name hosted elsewhere (non APEX host) . What I am planning to do is, create a subdomain with our existing web host and point it to the IP address of the DB machine the apex host will give us.
So I am guessing the process will involve:
1) getting the IP address of the database machine
2) configure the my existing web hosting setup to create a sub-domain and make it point to the IP address (for example 174.184.223.441)
Would I need Port number of the machine running Oracle DB with APEX and the local IP address (the one starts with 10.0.0.xxx) etc?
Would be grateful if someone can share what you did given you already have a domain hosted and need to create a subdomain to make it point to another APEX host.

Hi Jim,
Try to replace,
<jnlp spec="1.0+" codebase="http://localhost:8080/fileviewer" href="index.jnlp">
with
<jnlp spec="1.0+" codebase="$$codebase" href="index.jnlp">
But i was using JNlpdownload servlet to do the task

Certificates for use with APEX applications

I'm running oracle enterprise edition 9.2.0.7 with HTTP server for my APEX applications. When users access my application via https://, they receive the default oracle certificate warning. Can I use the wallet manager (owm) to create my own or to create a trusted certificate, or do you need to purchase Advanced Security option to use it "legally"?

hey guys the above issue was resolved. now i have following error.
1- anyconnect popup with WARNING MESSAGE: Warning: "The following Certificate received from the Server could not be verified: "
2- on asa i can see following debug messages.
CRYPTO_PKI: Sorted chain size is: 1
CRYPTO_PKI: Found ID cert. serial number: 02, subject name: cn=admin

CRYPTO_PKI(Cert Lookup) issuer="cn=ciscoasa" serial number=02 | .
CRYPTO_PKI: Invalid cert.
do let me know why is this happening. i have installed both CA and Indetity certificates on cisco asa 8.4.
my client OS is Win7.
