Issue in Upgrading Oracle APEX 2.1 to 3.1

Hi,
I have recently installed Oracle Database 10g Express Edition (Oracle Database XE) which includes Oracle Application Express (Oracle APEX) release 2.1
I have upgraded from Oracle APEX 2.1 to 3.1 by following instructions in http://www.oracle.com/technology/products/database/application_express/html/3.1_and_xe.html
Following is the sequence of steps I followed
1. @apexins SYSAUX SYSAUX TEMP /i/
2. @APEX_HOME/apex/apxldimg.sql APEX_HOME
3. @APEX_HOME/apex/apxxepwd.sql password
Now Oracle Database express home page changes to
http://127.0.0.1:8080/apex/f?p=4550:1:723721796272276
All gif logos are missing and font appears differently. More importantly nothing happens after entering workspace/username/password and clicking login button. I am using internet exlorer 7 and it says "Error on Page" on the bottom status bar.
Please let me know if any one encounterd similar issue and if you were able to fix the issue.
Thanks for your help

Hello,
For all of you who have the same problem that we had.
After two installs and desinstall, I have finally found what to do.
You must stop the OracleXETNSListener service when upgrading Oracle Database 10g Express Edition.
Here the steps to follow assuming that you have installed Oracle Database 10g Express Edition into C:\oraclexe
and unzipped apex_3.1.2 into C:\apex on a Windows XP System :
1. On Windows XP, Startup Menu, go to the Configuration panel, open Administration Tools, open Services, then you will click on the OracleXETNSListener service, stop it.
2. On Windows XP, Startup Menu, select Execute, type cmd and press OK to open a DOS window.
3. At the DOS prompt, type cd apex.
4. At the DOS prompt, type sqlplus /nolog
5. At the SQL prompt, type connect SYS as SYSDBA
6. Type the password of the user SYSTEM that you choose when installing Oracle XE.
7. At the SQL prompt, type *@apexins SYSAUX SYSAUX TEMP /i/* (may take 15 minutes or more)
8. At the DOS prompt, be sure to be in the apex directory (C:\apex) then type sqlplus /nolog
9. At the SQL prompt, type connect SYS as SYSDBA
10. Type the password of the user SYSTEM that you choose when installing Oracle XE.
11. At the SQL prompt, type *@apxchpwd*
12. Choose a password for ADMIN, type it then press Enter
13. At the SQL prompt, type *@apxldimg* C:\ (you will perhaps obtain a message like an error but the upgrade works fine)
14. At the SQL prompt, type *@apxxepwd* password (where password is the ADMIN password choosen at step 12)
15. At the SQL prompt, type quit
16. At the DOS prompt, type exit
17. Then go to the OracleXETNSListener service and start it.
To connect as ADMIN, type the url http://127.0.0.1:8080/apex/apex_admin
username : ADMIN
password : your admin password
You will be able to create workspaces (schemas) and users
Now you will be able to connect to APEX at http://127.0.0.1:8080/apex
workspace : your login name (workspace created in apex_admin)
username : your login name (user created in apex_admin)
password : your password (password defined for the user in apex_admin)
I hope that this steps will be clear for all of you.
Thank you to user10570446 who have provided a clear step through. So that I'd take the time to clarified my solution to my type of configuration.
I hope that RSNAIK has been able to make the upgrade to APEX 3.1.2.
Good day to everyone

Upgrade oracle apex from 4.2.0 to 4.2.1

I am currently using Apex 4.2.0, and i want to upgrade it without uninstalling
when i try to install 4.2.1 it gives error that apex is already installed on your PC.
I am using oracle enterprise edition..please give me solution how can i upgrade my apex to 4.2.1

Hello Parekh Jigar,
it seems you've hit the wrong forum for your question, as this one is dedicated to APEX Listener, a web server to make your APEX instance available for HTTP clients (browsers, etc.). Your question would fit better to {forum:id=137}.
Anyway, your question is easy to be answered: There are two different ways to get a recent APEX install
1. Download from OTN. OTN downloads are allways full installation packages, i. e. you can perform a fresh install or an upgrade from a previous major release.
2. Download from My Oracle Support (MOS). MOS offers patches that can also be applied to installations of the same major release.
In your case, you already have an install of the most recent major release (APEX 4.2) and need a patch to update to 4.2.1. This patch is only available via MOS.
(Note that the most recent APEX version would be 4.2.2)

Hi alberto,
i suppose that your application file prefix is incorrect for your application. Can you please verify that the directory specified in "Image Prefix" at Application Builder > Edit Application Properties is correct. You can test that with
http://yourdomain:yourport/<value specified in image prefix>/apex_version.txt
for example
http://apex.oracle.com/i/apex_version.txt
The application file prefix should be set to the same value you have entered during the installation of APEX 4.0?

Issues after Upgrade from Oracle 10.1.0.5 to 10.2.0.5 in Windows Server2003

Good Morning Good People,
I have run in to some issues after upgrading my 10.1.0.5 database to 10.2.0.5. Initially after the firtst upgrade from 10.1.0.5 to 10.2.0.0 one has to run Critical Patch set 4 to get to 10.2.0.5. Well after initial up grade everything worked fine. I could connect to the database from within the server as well as remotely through SQL*PLUS client. However, after completeing the patch I'm still able to connect to the database from within the server, but remotely i get the following error:
ORA-12514 : TNS Listener does not currently know of service requested in connect descriptor.
I also get Error ORA-12505: TNS:listener does not currently know of SID given in connect descriptor The Connection descriptor used by the client was: (description=(address=(host=mcquery2)(protocol=tcp)(port=1521))(connect_data=(sid=mcquery)(server=dedicated)))
I've tried serval different things to trouble shoot the issue but nothing seems to work.
If anyone has run into s similar issue please help. This is ruining my weekend! LOL!

Oracle APEX 4.0 - Interactive Report - Table Column Filter Issue

Environment: Oracle APEX 4.0 - Interactive Report - Table Column header Filter Issue
We have developed an interactive report using Oracle APEX 4.0, which contains a record count of around 3,000 Rows. All the rows values are unique in nature. When we try to filter the same with the help of column header filter option available in the interactive report,We get only 1000 records.
Could some one help us, why this behaviour under APEX Table Column Header Filter as if it does not display beyond 1000 distinct values.
Is there a way or workaround on how to get all the records in the column header filter?
Thanks in advance.

Krish,
Interactive report has hard coded limit to display 1000 rows of column filter LOV for performance. Unfortunately, the limit cannot be changed. The workaround is to define a Column Filter LOV for the column instead of using "Default Based on Column Type".

Upgrading from Apex 3.2.1 (mod_plsql) to Apex 4.0 with Oracle Listener

Hi,
We have some applications developed in Apex 3.2.1 (which is mod_plsql) that have not been moved into Production yet. We are planning to upgrade to Apex 4.0 with Oracle Listener as soon as they are available (we don't want to turn on mod_plsql on any web server). What will be the migration process? Will my applications function and look the same when I open them in Apex 4.0? Will any functionality, formatting, etc. be lost?
I heard that there is a Migration Assistant but there is not much information available.
When Apex 4.0 and Oracle Listener will be released? Summer 2010?
I would appreciate all the information that you have about this.
Thanks,
Violeta

A new dedicated OTN Forum has been set up for the APEX Listener: ORDS, SODA & JSON in the Database
Please use this forum for all future APEX Listener posts.

Issue inserting into USER_SDO_GEOM_METADATA via Oracle Apex

G'day All,
I've originally riased my issue in "Application Express - http://forums.oracle.com/forums/thread.jspa?threadID=537922&tstart=45 " but have not had any solutions provided yet.
Just a quick summary, when I insert a record into user_sdo_geom_metadata using Oracle Apex SQL Command tool and run a select on the view no records appear. After a bit of investigating I found it is wrongly being given a SDO_OWNER value of ANONYMOUS instead of the value from sys_context('userenv', 'CURRENT_SCHEMA') which in my case would be "TEST".
When I run SELECT sys_context('userenv', 'CURRENT_SCHEMA') FROM DUAL it correctly returns "TEST".
If anyone could let me know whats going wrong I would be most appreciated :)
Cheers
Mark

try to
grant select on table1 to schema2....
Once you have granted the access to teh schema...you should be able to access the MDSYS schema.
This should be OK.

Upgrade Oracle database 10.2.1.0 to 11gR2 without upgrading APEX

Hi,
How can we upgrade Oracle database 10.2.1.0 to 11gR2 without upgrading APEX? We currently have APEX 3.0 running in our 10g databases and don't want these APEX schemas to be upgraded to APEX 3.2.x during the database upgrade. We'll want to test everything before upgrading these APEX schemas manually to 4.1.1 later.
Thanks.
Andy

Pretty sure running the 11gR2 catalog upgrade won't touch your apex. Can't speak for using the upgrade utility, never used it.
Windows? Or *nix hosts? On windows fixing the oradim setups are more of challenge.

Oracle Apex Mail Send Issue.

Fyi
I am using oracle apex 4.2 version.
i am trying to send mail using APEX_MAIL.send.
My process like
begin
APEX_MAIL.send(
p_to       => '[email protected]',
p_from     => '[email protected]',
p_body     => l_body,
p_subj     => 'APEX_MAIL Package - Plain Text message');
end;
When i check mail queue from administrator part
HomeManage > InstanceMail > Queue
It show no error and after the send all mail still i am not geting the mail
i also check my email setting in administrator part.
Thanks

Hi,
I suggest that you put some debug statements to make sure that there no errors in the input parameters to the apex_mail.send procedure (http://docs.oracle.com/cd/E10513_01/doc/apirefs.310/e12855/apex_mail.htm#insertedID1). If possible, set up a simple example in apex.oracle.com and share the credentials.
Thanks,

Ora-06502 pl/sql numeric or value error in Report Query in oracle apex

Hello all,
I need your help...
ORA-06502: PL/SQL: numeric or value error: character string buffer too small
I am using bi publisher to generate PDF reports in oracle apex.
We were using APEX 4.0 and migrated to 4.2 just a week ago.
Now we have apex 4.2.
When I try to Create report query,
Shared Components >> Report Queries then create.
and test a report in a create wizard I am getting a error "ORA-06502: PL/SQL: numeric or value error: character string buffer too small".
I have also applied a patch "16760897".
This issue is because of number of columns in a query is more then 26.
If I run a report with 26 or less number of columns then the is working fine, otherwise getting this error.
My before migration report queries working perfectly even now, but not new queries.
This issue is also in apex.oracle.com.
You can see

Problem Upgrading to Apex 3.1 on XE

I am running into a problem upgrading Apex to 3.1 on Oracle XE.
Hardware and Software:
Database: Oracle Database 10g Express Edition Release 10.2.0.1.0
PL/SQL Web Toolkit Version: 10.1.2.0.4
Host O/S: MS Windows XP Professional Version 2002 SP2
Host Hardware: AMD Athlon 64 Processor, 2.2 GHz, 1.87 GB RAM
Background:
This is a lab host. I am working through the full installation process so that I can set up XE and Apex on development and production hosts, the end in mind being to develop a simple application using XE/Apex instead of Access 2003, which is used heavily in this shop.
It seems to me that upgrading to Apex 3.1 would be a good thing to do up front instead of developing in the version which ships with XE (2.1, I believe) and performing the upgrade later.
I installed XE going with full defaults. Nothing at all tricky. I was able to connect to http://localhost:8080/apex without any trouble and log in as system.
I then followed these Apex upgrade instructions, very carefully:
http://www.oracle.com/technology/products/database/application_express/html/3.1_and_xe.html
After I ran into trouble (see below), I reviewed this post and used it to double-check my work:
How to upgrade to Apex 3.1
I have worked through this a number of times, each time ending up with the same error.
The Problem...
After the upgrade, when I navigate to http://localhost:8080/apex, I receive the following error:
wwv_flow.app_not_found_footer_err
wwv_flow.err wwv_flow.app_not_found_err
OK
I reviewed this posting, which suggests that I upgrade my PL/SQL Web Toolkit:
apex 3.0 error wwv_flow.app_not_found_footer_err after new installation
I am perfectly willing to try this, but I am not sure how to obtain the latest correct version of the web toolkit for this particular version of the database. Any tips on where I might find this?
I also note that the posting says there should be 10 SQL files in the apex/builder directory. I only have 5, but I just downloaded this zip file a few days ago and assume this is the correct number of files. If it isn't, where could I find the correct zip?
Any other suggestions about the root cause of this issue would be appreciated.
Thanks!

Well, like Sherlock Holmes said, "when you have elminated the impossible, whatever remains, no matter how improbable, must be the truth." Or, something like that.
Thanks Joel, it was the files. I examined the zip file I originally downloaded and, sure enough, there were 10 files. I extracted it again and, for some reason, this time it only pulled one of the SQL files out, not even five as it did the first time. In addition, it also skipped about half the language folders.
To get it work, I used the windows built-in zip to open the file, navigated to the apex/builder folder, selected all of the SQL files and language folders, then copied and pasted them into c:\apex\builder.
I then restored the database, ran the install again, and everything worked just fine: I can access http://localhost:8080/apex/apex_admin and log in.
I'm not sure what the issue is, a problem with the zip file or (ok, more likely) a problem with the built-in windows zip tool. I used 7-zip (www.7-zip.org) to extract the file on my workstation and all 10 files and 9 language folders came out just fine.
The bottom line is, it works now, thanks again for the help.
-Tom
PS - I did not install the web toolkit upgrade.

XLS download of interactive report - error after upgrade to apex 4.1.1

Hello!
When trying to download a certain IR with e.g. 10 columns as XLS, I get the following error in the Excel in Apex 4.1.1:
ORA-06502: PL/SQL: numeric or value error: character string buffer too small
If I change it to two columns it works.
BI Publisher 11.1.1.5.0
Apex 4.1.1.00.23
Oracle Database 11g Enterprise Edition Release 11.2.0.3.0
In Apex 4.0.2.00.07 the exact same IR works with any number of columns.
Any ideas?
BR Paul

BR Paul,
I am experiencing the same issue after upgrading to 4.1.1.00.23 and trying to download pdf via bi pub xmlpserver. Seems if i reduce the columns to what fits on an 8.5X11 page then it works without error. Were you able to find a workaround in 4.1.1? Just trying to save some effort if you already found the solution. I wasn't successful in finding many others with this issue, so i appreciate the post but unfortunately don't have an answer to our problem. I'm using the standard csv download option and this works but of course it isn't going through bi pub.
thanks,
Jeff
