Migrate APex workspace to new database

Hi
Can someone please help me out with the steps to migrate the Workspace from 1 database to another ? The app server remains the same, we are migrating the db to a different platform.
I have Dashboard , Apex_data and flows_03100 schema created by Apex.
Thanks

I tend to migrate workspaces from my office to my home by using SQL*Developer-export it has the ability to create the DDL with the data option.
Then export my applications and images.
At New station with APEX installed:
1. Create the workspace using the apex_admin login.
2. Create a connection in SQL*Developer to the new workspace.
3. Run the DDL in SQL*Developer (make sure you run it as the right user).
4. Import my applications and images.
That should give you a general idea.
Try using SQL*Developer to export Dashboard and Apex_data for the DDL, then follow the steps above to migrate them to the other database.
Good luck,
Mike

Missing Discoverer reports after migrating the EUL to new Database.

Our Environment is Discoverer Relational- OLTP
We have recently migrated the source database from Oracle 9.2.0.6 to 10.2.00.0 RAC, this made us to migrate the Discoverer to new database in production.
Below are the database objects we migrated to new database.
1. EUL schema
2. Schemas referred by the Objects in the EUL (schemas containing functions, tables, views etc)
3. Based on trigger we created to filter active discoverer database accounts, migrated only active database users to new database.
Note: we had almost 4000 Discoverer users from 2005, since many of these users moved out of company or not using discoverer permanently, and there are users who used discoverer once in year or once in 6 months.
Finally we come up with 300 Active Discoverer users to be migrated to new database.
Issues: After migration
Some of the migrated users did not get their reports migrated which are shared by other users? [Since we didn’t migrate these users schemas as they are not active].
We have queried the EUL5_DOCUMENTS table in new database for a particular inactive users account (account which is not migrated) is not showing any reports owned by him.
Since we have migrated EUL schema and active users new database, is this will effect the EUL, [Information related to non active users gets deleted from the EUL in New Database]
Some users who are not figured in the active migrated list are requesting to get access to discoverer on new database. Can you please suggest the correct way to migrate these accounts.
Exporting the accounts will work?
Thanks in advance.

Hi ARS,
Please check the following item in your new database.
1. log_archive_max_processes Most properbly value set for this parameter is low ( may be it's set to 1.) Please increase up ( 4)I am curious to know what makes you think 4 is the right magic number for log_archive_max_processes - after all, he's only got one archive destination.

Content migration from old to new database server

There is thread upon thread upon question (as well as answer upon answer) of this already. I have 3 farms running concurrently. 1 production, 1 development and a new production (farm A, B and C respectively). Farm A's databases are on SQLa\SP while Farm
B is on SQLb\Beta and Farm C on SQLb\SP. I've successfully copied the content database over from Farm A to Farm B & C without an issue. Farm A and C are identical except for server names (service accounts etc).
What I'm trying to do now though is just a simple content refresh from FarmA to FarmC. Aside from shutting down FarmA and C, backing up & restoring the database again, is there another way to do this?

Hi,
According to your description, my understanding is you want to find another way to change farm A production environment to farm C production environment aside from shutting down FarmA and C, backing up & restoring the database .
It involves moving a farm.
Moving a farm typically involves the following steps:
Set up the new server farm
Move the databases to the new server farm
Shut down the old server farm
So how to move the databases to the new server farm is the point. For moving all the databases, you can backup and restore. Another way is detaching and attaching as the thread states:
http://sharepoint.stackexchange.com/questions/25215/the-best-practice-for-moving-content-database-between-two-farms
But copying the files is also a dangerous option due to file locks etc, and you don't want to take down the farm just to copy the data.
For more information, you can have a look at the blog:

How to create a New database application in APEX

Hi everyone..
Greetings!!!
I am a beginner to Oracle APEX, i want to develop a new database application(upload my own data) and wants to perform validations, LOV's, Regions etc..
Can you guide me to handle this....
Thanks,
suresh

Suresh,
The forum can help ... but maybe "guide" is asking a lot. There are tons of suggestions here (in the forum).
Have you read? https://forums.oracle.com/forums/ann.jspa?annID=1324 It's a good place to start.
There are a wealth of APEX books if you have access to Safari, Books 24 or something like those.
There are on-line courses: See http://www.oracle.com/technetwork/tutorials/index.html
Specifically: http://apex.oracle.com/pls/apex/f?p=44785:24:87555121473::NO::P24_CONTENT_ID,P24_PREV_PAGE:6268,1 is "Building an Application using Oracle Application Express: Part 1"
I'm certain you can find many more by Google'ing.
If you're like me, you need to see (and do) many examples before you launch off into something non-trivial.

How to Install & Migrate APEX 4.2x on 11gR2 database.

Hi All,
What is the best way to migrate APEX software and Applications FROM APEX 4.1.1.00.23 on 10g TO APEX 4.2.1.00.08 on 11gR2.
I have enabled APEX 3x with Embedded PL/SQL Gateway on 11gR2 database. The older version APEX4.1 is uses HTTP server.
Anyone’s help is much appreciated.
Regards

The best way (I had problems with this last week), is to go Oracle Support (do not use the upgrade patch from OTN), and download patch #14732511 from Oracle Support. This will automatically upgrade and migrate your Apex applications to the current 4.2.1.00.8. It should take around 15-30 minutes, depending on your hardware. The one I tried using from OTN wouldn't run, and the supposed upgrade would finish in about 15 seconds.

Is Application Migration Workshop integrated within free APEX workspace?

Is Application Migration Workshop integrated within the free APEX workspace hosted by Oracle at.http://apex.oracle.com/pls/otn?
I am trying to evaluate the "Oracle Application Express Application Migration Workshop" (to convert Access Applications into APEX Applications) and it would be nice to not have to create the extensive development environment which can be very time consuming.
Thanks!

Hello User.
Please change your name from the default #'s to either your name or a nickname.
From my understanding,
No the APEX Migration workshop is not installed in the free Oracle demo apex public workspace environment.
One of the Apex experts will be able to confirm this information.
I've only used the tool in my own environment and I've never tried looking for it on the free oracle apex workspace.

Migrating HP SIM related databases to a new database server

Greetings,
I'm working on a migration task for our HP SIM to a new database server (the application and services will reside on the original server).
Migrating the Insight_v50_0_xxx database and redirecting the server to point the the new database was no problem and HP SIM runs along just fine.
There are still some related databases that I haven't moved yet, and I've searched all over the web to get some documentation on the matter, but found none.
The databases and related services are the following.
PMP_V5_0 - PMP Services
hpvmmsqldb - Virtual Machine Management
I guess I could do like I did with the Insight_v50_0_xxx , take a backup and restore it on the new server and then change the configuration files to point to the new one. The big issue is that I can't seem to find any configuration files for these services.
Also I've run into something called mx services, and the same here. I have no idea where these points.
Any HP SIM savvy technician out there that think they can help me out?
1. Product: HP SIM and related services
2. Operating System: Windows Server 2008 R2
Best regards,
Karl

Old topic but in case someone is searching...
PMP database uses an ODBC connection. Easy to reconfigure.
HPVMMDB uses a JDBC configuration file in the \Program Files\HP\Insight Control Virtual Machine Management\Bin folder called hpvmmdb.conf.

Migrating reports to new database schema

Hi,
My company has numerous Crystal Reports .RPT files that work against the existing database schema, but we are moving to a new database with a significantly different schema.
Rather than have to manually recreate new RPT files for all the reports, it would be nice if it would be possible to automate the process.
I have looked through the documentation for the various Java APIs and am completely confused as to whether this is possible and, if so, the best way to do it.
Any help would be appreciated.
Thanks,
Carl

I did have Crystal Reports version 9 installed, as well as version XI, but I uninstalled everything and only reinstalled Crystal Reports XI release 2, and I still have the same problem.

Move APEX Installation from one database to another one

My task is to move an APEX installation to a new one.
Exact: The customer wants to downgrade from Enterprise Edition to Standard Edition.
Database version is 9.2.0.8 (both), APEX version is 2.2.1
What I've done:
- Full database export (from EE)
- Delete EE-software, reboot server
- Install. SE-software, reboot server, create db
- Full database import
around 40 db objects are invalid after recompile:-(
2. try:
- create db (SE)
- Install. of APEX 2.2.1
- Import of the schemas flows_020200, flows_files and the APEX user-schemas
- recompile
all db objects are valid, but the APEX applications belongs to a workspace "unknown" so no workspace have access to its applications:-(
Has anybody an idea or a recipe for me?
Many thanks
Ralph

Hi, Scott –
Thanks for your post on this thread last Friday evening, May 2. I posted my message on Wednesday April 30, and after receiving no response after two days, we decided to go ahead with my planned migration on Friday afternoon. We completed it shortly after 5:00 PM (just six hours before you posted your response). Everything seemed to go well, but based on your expert opinion, we've decided to scrap the TARGETDB installation and redo the migration according to your recommendations.
It seems that exporting each Apex application individually from the SOURCEDB and importing it individually to the TARGETDB would be a laborious and lengthy process, but if Oracle provides no faster and more convenient alternative, then I guess this is something we’ll have to do.
However, this has sparked more questions….
Like I said in my previous post, we’re relatively new to Apex. When I mentioned exporting/importing Apex workspaces, I was imprecise in my terminology. I know you can export Apex applications from the SOURCEDB Apex installation and import them into the TARGETDB Apex installation using the Web based Apex Admin tool. But can/should you do the same with workspaces? Or do you recreate corresponding empty Apex workspaces on the TARGETDB and then import the appropriate Apex applications into them?
What would you suggest to be the best way to do this?
Thanks again for your help!

How to install APEX in a server database, instead XE database?

Hi, sorry but I'm new with APEX.
Till today I've just used it to simple applications inside a XE database, but now I've to use it in a production database.
Should I use the enterprise database, which is an Oracle 11G, or should I install it inside the database that comes with the Oracle Application Server (OAS)?
Is there a documentation to teach how to install the last version of Apex inside this database?
Thank you in advance and sorry for the silly question?

You can install APEX in a regular database - documentation is at http://docs.oracle.com/cd/E23903_01/welcome.html

HTTP status 500 error while importing an application in Oracle Apex workspace

Hello everybody,
I am facing an issue while importing an Oracle Apex application in one of my workspace. Below is the screen of error. But if I try to import the same export file in other workspace in other database, the import works perfectly. Any clue?
Thanks in advance

Osacar, I recommend that you try to import the application into your workspace on apex.oracle.com and see what happens. Also, refine the problem statement as much as you can, e.g., you get this error importing "the application" or when importing "any" application. How big is the file you're trying to import? Where did it come from? Can you upload images?
