Local development for APEX Cloud

I would like to develop an APEX cloud app locally and offline (my PC). Later, I'll deploy it to the cloud for testing when finished. I understand that the APEX/DB in the cloud only provides a sub-set of the features of a local APEX/DB installation. To make sure I develop a solution that will run in the cloud and not depending on features not supported, I would like to set up my local PC with the same limitations as the cloud instance. Is there a script/patch etc. that can be run to limit local features (or privs to them) to mimic the same premises and enviroment as when running in the cloud? (I think such exists for MS Azure local development).

Hi,
Here you can find what privileges are granted to application schema when you create new workspace and you do not Re-use existing schema for parsing schema.
http://docs.oracle.com/cd/E37097_01/doc/doc.42/e35125/priv_db_user.htm#sthref2982
If you stick with those I'm 100% sure you will not encounter problem related privileges in any hosted APEX environment.

Best browser to develop for ApEx, Firefox or Internet Explorer

Greetings!
I have a simple question, which is the best web browser for doing Oracle ApEx (Applications Express)? I already know the answer, Firefox, but Firefox is blacklisted by my current employer.
My primary reason for asking such a question is to help me make a case to my company internet security officers to allow Firefox to be installed on the work stations of the ApEx developers. Currently, we are restricted to using Internet Explorer (IE 6.x) only.
The security of Firefox has been sited for not allowing it's installation or use on any computers on our corporate network. There are some who believe that IE 6.x is more secure that Firefox 3.x.
My expertise as a seasoned ApEx developer who has used both and has become a better and more efficient developer since using Firefox along with the Firebug plug-in. Firefox and Firebug allow a JavaScript debugging that is far superior to JavaScript debugging utility that is available for IE 6.x.
Please make any suggestions that may help me to present a compelling argument for allowing Firefox to be allowed on the systems of the ApEx development team members.
Thanks,
Charles

Hello Charles,
Seems you have all the right information and arguments at hand:
My expertise as a seasoned ApEx developer who has used both and has become a better and more efficient developer since using Firefox along with the Firebug plug-in. Firefox and Firebug allow a JavaScript debugging that is far superior to JavaScript debugging utility that is available for IE 6.x.
There are some who believe that IE 6.x is more secure that Firefox 3.x..
Ask these people to support their believe by evidence.

Submiting a DB job in SQL developer for APEX workspace

Hi,
I am trying to run this procedure (which will be used to run a DB job daily) from SQL developer but i am getting some error:-
declare
cursor c1 is

open c1;
loop
     fetch c1 into c_rec;
     exit when c1%NOTFOUND;
schema.package.SEND_EMAIL(c1.ID);
END LOOP;
CLOSE C1;
end;
The error I am getting is 6502 ORA-06502: PL/SQL: numeric or value error . If i run the same thing from APEX, it works fine. Please help!!

Hi,
>
procedure set_security_group_id(
p_security_group_id in number default null)
-- This procedure allows the caller to set wwv_flow_security.g_security_group_id
-- to the security group id of the schema they are currently running in.
>
When you call wwv_flow_api.set_security_group_id from SQL developer, you need pass p_security_group_id.
Try e.g. something like this if you do not know what is your workspace id
wwv_flow_api.set_security_group(APEX_UTIL.FIND_SECURITY_GROUP_ID (p_workspace=>'YOUR_WORKSPACE');Change YOUR_WORKSPACE to workspace name where your database schema is assigned

Building JAX-WS Clients for Oracle Cloud Applications

Hello,
We are looking for a tutorial on how to build JAX-WS clients for Oracle Cloud Applications using Eclipse and OEPE.
Do you know if there is any document about this, or any document that can help us on this task.
Thanks and regards,
Gustavo.

A JAX-WS web service client with OEPE would be the same for a cloud service.

Set up dynamic, remote website on local environment for development

I am not too experienced with dreamweaver (the extent of my knowledge is youtube tutorials and self taught). I have inherited a website on a remote server that I need to do some major editing. It is using MySQL, php, html, and css. I have already downloaded the entire site for local development. However, the php will not function without a server. Would anyone kindly provide some resources on how to set up this site up with MAMP for local development (or any alternative ways to develop inherited websites like this)? I know how to set up MAMP from scratch, but not with an already developed, remote website that needs to be edited/redeveloped.
It seems like if I redirect the server to a local one, it will mess up a lot of code when I attempt to upload it back to the remote server. There has to be a more convenient/integrated way to do this than recoding the database access every time I switch from local to remote.....

You'll still need to pull everything onto the testing server, if it's going to be different from your remote server. Here's a good resource for using testing servers with DW...

It might not match your exact version, but it should be followable for the most part.

[SOLVED] Recommendations needed - Arch + Apache for local development

Hello,
I'm a new Arch user, and relatively new with Linux. I'm getting to like Arch very much.
I do web development, and I do most of my programming in PERL.
I have already installed perl and some tools, and I'm about to install apache. The Idea is to have the apache server just for local development and testing.
So the question is: Do you recommend me to install some firewall?
What security measurements should I take?
Is there any easy way to enable and disable Internet access to the apache server?
Thank you!

Thank you friends.
Yes, my Internet is via router. I like the Idea to set the server to listen at local address, I will try that.
Now, as I'm new to Linux and Arch, I will like to know if I should take any extra security measurements. In windows I used anti-virus + firewall all the time, and I blocked apache to access the Internet with the firewall.
I have set a strong root password, but the "normal user" has sudo. Is that secure enough?
Is there any "must have" security tools or measurements to set is a box like mine (Desktop usage + local network (3 machines) + apache for local usage and testing only)?
Is it common to get some malware, worm, trojan, spyware or some kind of phishing just by surfing the web without user "action" to install it?
I know Linux is much safer because users and permissions. I like that very much, It feels a lot safer.
Now, I have used Arch for a week or so with no firewall (router firewall is disabled also) and no anti-virus. Absolutely no special security measurements and there seems to be no log-in attempts in logfiles .. and no problems at all. Windows without firewall and anti-virus will die in a few hours just by leaving it connected to Internet....
I just wanted to ask you all (Arch users) if you normally use Firewall, and if you take some special measurement to stay free of trojans, spyware, etc...
I will appreciate your comments.
Thank you!

Is it possible to have English as the interface language, but use (and develope for) any other language/locale?

Before installing Firefox, I need to clarify the following:
The use of locales: I am a developer and my preferable language, for the interface, is English (though, it is not my mother tongue). But, I would like to be able to use any other language (including, the use of any dictionary) and develop for any language or locale. So, does the English version let me do the above mentioned?
Or, eg, do I need to install the Hebrew locale, if I want to use the Hebrew dictionary?
Or, is it possible to install different locales on the same computer (and for the same user, in Win XP)?

You can install any dictionary is every locale, so that shouldn't be a problem if you use the English locale.
If you want to check out the user interface or how the browser acts with an RTL locale like Hebrew then you need to install the language pack and switch to that locale.
You can install additional language packs in any Firefox version.

Change Control tools for APEX development

I have a customer who is using APEX and would like to have change control, version, and synchronization of APEX pages...
Basically we are talking about Configuration management capabilities

Well, since APEX is mostly pl/sql based, the other poster's idea of SQL Developer is valid... The other items.... you are on your own for test scripts (again sql developer for the pl/sql required...)
What it sounds like is your are wanting a oracle designer wrap-around for APEX.. Don't know what to tell you.. I would suggest you look at some type of version control system.. Subversion is a good one, MS Source Safe works too...
Thank you,

I tried
ant deployTestSuites
this works. If i do that with the wrong domain (dep_cotrol vs dep_me) name it fails with
ORABPEL-02052Cannot lookup BPEL domain.The BPEL domain "dep_cotrol" cannot be found; the domain may not have initialized properly.Please verify that the BPEL domain loader has a valid set of initialization properties in the application properties file.
So i think my config is ok. There is a bug in this ant bpelTest which ignores the domain?

How I can use my domain name for APEX Application at Oracle Cloud?

Hello,
1. I have for example my-custom-domain.com and want that my customers use this domain to login at APEX Application at Oracle Cloud.
I don't want that my customers see https://blablabla.db.us1.oraclecloudapps.com/apex/ and see instead of my-custom-domain.com :)
How I can do it? Don't find any technical information about it...
2. Can I use my ssl certificates for my domain for Oracle Cloud Instance?

may be I don't understand you right...
I have trial instance and test application here at https://database-trialajnn.db.us1.oraclecloudapps.com/apex/f?p=1500304
database-trialajnn.db.us1.oraclecloudapps.com - it's 216.131.136.193 IP
I write to my domain this IP = login.ds24.ru
But when I test https://login.ds24.ru/apex/f?p=1500304
It is not work and write that url is wrong for this ssl sertificate
If I understand you correct now it's impossible use simple URL to login at application for example login.ds24.ru

Where can we get GP APIs for local development?

I just realized that my local GP APIs (sap.comcafeugpapi.sda and sap.comcafeugpapi~wd.sda) are not longer valid as of SP7 due to some interface naming changes.
it'd be better if the IDE group finally incorporate the GP APIs in their build because this is a know problem for quite some time already (the missing GP APIs in NWDS).
But i'd appreciate any other ways to get them asap. Thanks, Andre

useful note Jan. thank you but only if i can get a hold of the gp apis in my local eclipse environment to reference as used Development Components for local development. Gave you the points anyway

APEX development for mobile

Does any one know if Oracle APEX 4.0 can be used to develop mobile applications?
Are there any tutorials available for this mobile development with APEX?
Thanks,
Maggie

You definitely can build mobile "web" applications. I modified the Aria People Search application that we run inside Oracle to work on Windows Mobile, Blackberry, iPhone, etc. I don't know of any tutorials, it's just a matter of templates. If you don't know HTML and CSS really well, I would start there. Quick test, which of these tags is incorrect:
.....
hello
world
<td align=center>...
<DIV STYLE=foo>...Here's how I would start:
* Figure out your target devices and browsers
* Many of the Windows Mobile devices use Opera Mobile (which is a really good browser). You can make the desktop version function like the mobile version
* If iPhone is your target you can use the following bookmarlets to resize Safari to iPhone Landscape or Portrait:
javascript:self.moveTo(0,0);self.resizeTo(480,320);self.location="http://www.apple.com";
javascript:self.moveTo(0,0);self.resizeTo(320,480);self.location="http://www.apple.com";* Microsoft makes a free simulator for Windows Mobile (not sure about Windows Phone 7)
* Don't use any flash charts
* Don't use any popup LOVs
* Interactive reports won't work well
* Keep the HTML / CSS / JavaScript and Images VERY SMALL. Use Firefox + ySlow to measure this
* Start with a very simple page template and build up, not the other way around.

after knowing the setup:
*2.How to configure??*
http://hostname:port/apex/apex_admin... for embedded
or
http://hostname:port/pls/apex/apex_admin....for oracle xml db
from the tutorial i couldn't understand.
for example apex is define in configuration file???..how to find???
I am stucked.

Hi,
Thanks for your suggestion.
To work further I tried ot download the packaged applications OEHR sample objects.
I didn't get any error till downloading and importing, when i installed supporting objects it says there is no enough workspace to install supporting objects
error is
the following prerequisite checks failed. Installation of this application's supporting objects cannot continue until these issues are resolved.
To continue installation after addressing the errors, navigate to the Supporting Object Definitions of this application and click INSTALL in the Supporting Objects Installation section.
Alternatively, you can deinstall the application definition and reinstall after resolving these issues.

Any new thoughts on local sync for calendars

Any new ideas on how to achieve local sync for iOS devices under Mavericks? I am still not comfortable with using iCloud and would prefer to manage my data on my own. I am aware of options like setting up your own local wifi server and am intrigued by the 'devicesync' app on the app store. Anything else out there or do you know of anyone working on a solution to this 'feature'? Thanks and happy holidays to all.
Marc

Hi nbar, and thanks for your reply. Apologies in advance if it appears that I'm getting on my 'high horse', as the saying goes.
First off, I'm not a power user....I've got a very simple set up with a 4 year old MacBook Pro. When I do my work I do it on systems purpose-built for editing or graphics work. This gripe is strictly about how my personal devices function.
I have a couple of issues. The primary is ownership of my data. I simply do not trust Apple anymore. The ease with which services like Facebook or Google rewrite their licenseing agreements without, it seems, a thought to their end users, leads me to believe that given enough time Apple will begin mining any data that you or I store in iCloud. This is my data and Apple has no right to scan it or use it in any way whatsoever.
Secondly, I don't appreciate being pushed into a 'service' that I do not want. I don't need iCloud to do my business or to live my interconnected life. Besides, in this day and age, 5gb is pretty paltry in terms of storage; after that I get the privilege of paying a monthly fee for more space.
Third, committing to the cloud means that any interconnected device that I have will use up more bandwidth on my data plan. If I have three or four devices connected to the cloud then every time I download something from iTunes it uses up 3-4 times the original bandwidth as the file is spread across my devices.
Fourth, and most disappointing, Apple was not very candid about the loss of local sync when Mavericks was rolled out. True, in the developer or beta testing community this may have been perfectly clear but to us 'regular' end users there was no real warning. I find this most disheartening as I bought in to the Apple brand as the anti-corporate, anti-Microsoft, maverick (yes, I said Maverick ). This episode, for better of for worse, has soured me somewhat on the brand. And by the looks of it on-line and on these discussion groups, I'm not alone in this perception. This feels more like a blatant play for dollars and less about providing new feature sets to end users.
There are a lot of reasons why the cloud is good for some people and for certain types of activities. And I'm not naive enough to think that my data is perfectly safe and is not already floating out there somewhere. However, to the extent that I can, I simply want to be able to choose where my data goes and who I trust to handle it. Apple took away my cheese and I want it back!
Thanks again for the feedback. You've been very polite to read my rant. Have a great New Year.
