Migrating from htmldb 1.5 to apex 2.2.1

Hi All,
We are in the process to migrate our environments (a total of 8) to the latest version of Apex (htmldb).
In order to do that we are looking for the following documentation:
1) Bugs solved for version 1.5 in the new releases.
2) New features available that we have to be aware in order to evaluate/use them.
3) Differences in the way we have to work in v2.2.1 comparing it to v1.5. We have to train around 25 developers in the new version in order to not lose productivity.
We also are planning to migrate to the Oracle Modern Look and Feel. Is this theme included in any of the new versions of Apex?
Any suggestion to do our migration smoothly will be appreciate.
Regards
Harvey

Harvey,
As a start, you should gather and read the Release Notes and Installation documentation for version 1.6, version 2.0, and version 2.2.
You're not going to find a comprehensive bug list that goes back to 1.5.

Migration of Htmldb 1.6 to Apex 3.2

Hi All
I am a new user to Apex ,I wanted to migrate our one applicatioin which is running on HTML db 1.6 to Apex 3.2
Please help to know the steps,tutorial which can be used to complete the same
Regards
Manish

Mark,
>
After the import into APEX 3.2, I noticed that none of my users from HTMLDB 1.6 were created in APEX 3.2, (perhaps the export from HTMLDB 1.6 does not by default include users). I found that Users, and User Groups can be exported from HTMLDB 1.6 (under Export/Import, Select Export, select Workspace button), which I have done.
>
Apex users are a part of the application workspace. And if you login as the apex_admin and do a workspace export, you will see the insert scripts for creating the users.

Migration from HTMLDB version 1.4 to 1.6

I would like to find out if its possible to upgrade HTMLDB version 1.4 to 1.6.
Can you send me more information about this please and my email address is [email protected]
thanks Peter

Peter,
You should export your workspace, applications, images, css, etc., from your 1.4 installation to files. Then install 1.6 and the 1.6.1 patch. Then import/install the workspace, all applications, images, css, etc., from the files you saved into the new HTML DB instance.

Migration from Oracle Forms to Oracle Apex 3.2

Hi I am learning Apex, I mainly work in Oracle developer. I have converted one Oracle form into Oracle Apex. the migrated Form appears on the screen,works, but not as I like it to be. All the triggers are migrated into Apex but they don't work as they did in Oracle Form. I cant make the form work as it should be. please help.

Triggers in forms will NOT work EXACTLY like they do in Forms, that is the nature of the beast.. APEX runs under a browser and you are running with html events to trap on..
Suggestion, the Forms conversion tools converts only so much, you will have to do some work to get what you want. Also, I would suggest re-evaluating your application, since it was probably a client server based application, moving it to the web will involve some re-engineering..
Thank you,

Upgrade from HTMLDB 1.6 to Apex 2.2.1 -- Steps

Hi,
Does anyone know where I can download the Install software to run on HP-UX to upgrade to newer version? ...
I tried looking in the otn download center, all I get is a command line install/upgrade not the Oracle Universal Install.
If you know please include the URL...
Thanx
Vijay.

Hello Vijay,
To upgrade your HTMLDB you need to run the new version installation. The installation script will identify the existing version and will upgrade it. You run the installation script using sql-plus, and not a universal installer. You should download the distribution file, unzip it, and read the installation manual. It will give you a clear view on the process.

Migration from 1.6 to Apex 3.1 - Popup windows no longer working

We just moved our application to Apex 3.1 from HTMLDB 1.6. The only thing that is not working since we migrated is the popup window that used to work. Now a window still pops up, but it is the login screen, not the expected window, and even if one logs in at that point, it just takes them back to the main screen, not to the expected popup window. Is there some setting I have to change to make it work as it did before, or does the code go somewhere else now? This is the code:
The URL redirect of a button on the calling page: javascript:callMyPopup('P4_PRI_CONTACT_ID');
The javascript on that same page: <script language="JavaScript" type="text/javascript">
function callMyPopup (formItem1) {
var formVal1 = document.getElementById(formItem1).value;
var url;
url = 'f?p=&APP_ID.:10:::::P10_CONTACT_ID:' + formVal1 ;
w = open(url,"winLov","Scrollbars=1,resizable=1,width=800,height=600");
if (w.opener == null)
w.opener = self;
w.focus();
</script>

As of v2.0 session IDs were required for f?p URLs. Oracle® HTML DB Release Notes Release 2.0 Part Number B16374-02

Increase in CPU Utilization after migration from APEX 3.1.2 to APEX 3.2

Has any noticed any increase in CPU Utilization after migrating from APEX 3.1.2 to APEX 3.2?
Thanks,
Mark

Hi Mark,
Take a look at some of the usage reports within APEX (sessions, page views etc) to get an overall feel for where the time is being consumed.
You'll also find it useful if you can run a statspack report (or AWR, ASH etc) during a busy period to be able to drill down into where that CPU is being spent.
There's no magic answers here unfortunately, you need to track it down to where the time is being spent before working back up to find out where best to tune it.

Problem in Themes after Migrating from APEX 4.0 to 4.2

Dear Friends,
Recently we migrated from APEX 4.0 to 4.2. There were no errors during migration. But after migration we observed that any application with Simple Red (Theme No.1) and Scarlet (Theme 21) stopped working properly. i.e. Template button Red will not perform any task. Even changed the template of the button doesn't work.
Can any one suggest steps to solve the problem?
Thanks in Advance.

Migrating from HTML DB 1.6 to Application Express 3.1.2

Good morning,
After recently discovering APEX and spending some time with the Oracle provided instance, the shop I work with have decided to proceed and give it a shot with our Oracle instance.
We're running 10g and our DBA setup HTMLDB from the companion CD for me. It's up and running just fine but after playing with APEX 3.1.2, going back to HTMLDB 1.6 has me noticing a lot of things that I miss just from the short time I spent with APEX.
How much is involved in the process of upgrading from HTMLDB to APEX and are there any documents aside from the APEX Install Guides that provide the steps or is it pretty straight forward? Our DBA is extremely busy and I don't want to add too much of a burden but before me and a few other developers start migrating some old Forms 6i applications, I would prefer to be up to date with the latest and greatest.
Thanks!

Hello,
>> Good morning,
Well, that’s depend on your location in the world. For some of us it’s the end of the day :)
>> How much is involved in the process of upgrading from HTMLDB to APEX
All you need to do is to download the APEX 3.1.2 full version distribution file, and run the installation script. The upgrade process will done automatically, by the installation script.
>> are there any documents aside from the APEX Install Guides that provide the steps or is it pretty straight forward
It’s very straightforward, especially in your case, where as I understand the history is very small. I find the APEX installation documentation to be very good and very clear. All you have to do is carefully follow the pre-installations and post-installation tasks (there are some important configuration changes you’ll need to make between 1.6 and 3.1.2), and you (and your DBA) will be just fine.

Arie.

Very difficult migration from MS Access to Oracle with SQL Developer

Dear Developers
I have tried to used for one Project Oracle Sql Developer Migration from Access to Oracle (Application Express). Was about an evaluation if Oracle Express (with Application Express) or Mysql (with PHP) as target database.
I am working with Oracle for 14 years and i earn my money in projects related with Oracle. Of course i am sentimental and i push every time when an opportunity comes to have as an option Oracle.
This time beside my sentimental approach the decision was different.
I will tell you why and i hope that someone there will listen and make something for a better Product.
I was trying yesterday the whole day to migrate an Microsoft Access database. A nightmare....
1. Microsoft Access Exporter 2000 was too slow. For a 25 MB Access database, running time was 15 Minutes. And 15 minutes to obtain an undocumented error. I followed your instruction and eliminate all references etc... as you described in HELP. a lot of time necessary to read and do..... After that i obtained an Error #..16. Sorry that i don't provide you with an exact number error. i don't have it right know and personally i am not interested anymore. For this error i don't find nothing in forums about it.... Search again and again..... Every time after waiting 15 Minutes in which you don't know exactly what application does or if really does something. I decided to delete sequentially macros, modules, forms, querys from Access database and see where Exporter stops... Time and time lost for trying and searching.... Finally i obtained my XML file only by keeping my Access tables. The file was produced even if i obtained at the end Error #5:..... Because was an error i am not really sure if the file was completly consistent with my database.
2. I followed the next steps and with some errors (enabling, disabling constraints, objects couldn't be created because of different reasons) i had my Model and Oracle Schema. I have tried to export the data from Access and import it in Oracle. data exported was in UTF8 and SQL Loader Control file doesn't have
LOAD DATA
character set utf8
So i tried to add the string "character set utf8" in my dozens of CTL files - with a freeware of course.....
Maybe you can say that if i knew that from the beginning i would have set my character set in SQL Developer. I don't know and i will not ever try with this product!
So finally after hours of working and trying and playing with my nerves, reading a lot of forums and documentation, i had an Oracle schema, maybe incomplete because of different errors at so much migration stages.
And now i have tried for the first time in my life MySQL Migration Toolkit. I read that for migration to MYSQL this tool is what i needed.
I recommend you to try the product and see something about the quality required for a piece of software. Is not enough if your product runs OK with Nortwind DEMO Access database. It should run OK with all ACCESS databases.
With the tool i have done the job in 5 MINUTES. Simple, efficiently and without errors. At the end i had the SQL Scripts and the DATA imported in the database.
Difficult to say something now. I am sentimental but i asked mysef if you can do something to improve the quality of the product.
What arguments can we provide for a client in Migration from Access to Oracle ???? Can you honestly answer at that?
Please try this MYSQL Migration Toolkit.....Maybe this give you some ideas about simple tasks and about what we really need...
Best regards
Adrian

Dear Barry and Kgronau
Thank you very much for your response. My Post was after a long day of trying to import an MDB file.
Maybe you can understand why i was so angry...
Yes i understand that your tool try to do more than other even if actually you don't really convert too much.
From Modules to make some procedures where the whole code is commented! .....
For other MDB which i tried to import in APEX the forms where really not usable. Queries are full of errors requires most of the time manual corrections.
I am sorry that i can not provide you with this MDB which cause these problems.
Data and software doesn't belong to me and the company which own it can not provide to you.
What i hope from your product is, even when errors come, to show a better error explanation. At what object in Access error ocures ? This is very important because i can correct my MDB or just delete the module,form,query in cause if SQL Developer doesn't like it....
Just showing an error Error #.... doesn't help me too much. And if an error occurs i don't know if program continues to work or is dead. No information about this. Maybe you can show that your application is alive and does something (working status etc...) ! Anyway we wait long minutes in front of dead screen....
Again, thank you very much for your attention
Adrian

Migration from 10.2.0.3 to 11gR2 on SuSE 9 SP3 32bits

Hello,
I'm planning a migration from 10.2.0.3 to 11gR2. The O.S. is SLES 9 patchlevel 3 32 bits. I addition, the system has appex 3.0.1.00.08 installed, as well as OHS (not sure how to see version, it's the 10gR2 Companion CD instalation)
It's my first real migration, so i'd like some advices about issues to care about, especially about apex and OHS
Thanks for the advices

Welcome to the forums !
Every upgrade is unique. The best way to learn would be to perform a test upgrade. Clone your current environment and the perform the upgrade on the clone.
11gR2 upgrade document is at http://download.oracle.com/docs/cd/E11882_01/server.112/e10819/toc.htm
I would also recommend you read MOS Doc 785351.1 (Oracle 11gR2 Upgrade Companion)

Migration from Oracle Forms to HTML DB ?

Dear all,
is there a tool allowing to migrate from Oracle Forms to HTML DB ?
Thanks.
Best Regards.
Marcello.

Hello.
Thanks for your response.
Here is the motivation.
We have still applications developped with Oracle Forms 6i (old version no more supported). We are investigating for doing the migration with a limited expense to Oracle Forms 10g or HtmlDB.
Another questions are :
Is it possible to migrate from Oracle 6i to Oracle Forms 10g ?
Oracle Forms will still exists ? until when ?
Many thanks for your cooperation.
Best Regards.

Launching reports from HTMLDB

Hi all,
We have reports 6 executeables. We want to launch them from HTMLDB. I "discovered" dbms_scheduler and tried launching them via PL/SQL. However, that is not entirely reliable, since the job intermittently errors out with "file not found".
Is there another way to launch an executable? Or if we migrate to the latest version of reports, can they be launched from HTMLDB?
Please advise,
Johan Arve

"Why doesn't it work with Reports 6i?"
I'm running four different reports via a PL/SQL package that calls dbms_scheduler. One of these reports bug out on a regular basis iff the other three have just been run.
"How Do you call the reports with the dbms_scheduler?"
I've defined them as jobs and run dbms_scheduler.enable via PL/SQL package called by a HTMLDB process.
"If you can start a report via url in the browser, you can call it from pl/sql with utl_http."
OK, how do I start a .rep file via a url?
Thanks for your input.
Best regards,
Johan Arve
