Minimum resources for Oracle Application Express

Hi,
I'm new to the forum, and a bit confuse here trying to find an answer to what supposedly is a simple question:
What kind of resources do I have to have to develop and deploy screens with Oracle Application Express?
The scenario:
I have this Oracle application all created in forms that we are planning to give to our customers in a web based.
I'm looking for options to convert it and many forums are talking about how easy and inexpensive (free) the Oracle Applications Express is.
Then, talking with my main developer, he told me that in order to use it, the client need to spend quite a while in IAS (Oracle's Internet Application Server) and/or have to have the Enterprise version.
I'm looking for white papers on that and could not find any corroboration, but just texts telling that it's free and easy to use.
Any one can point me to the right directions on this issue?
Just want to know what exaclty do I need in order to use (creating and deploying) the Applications Express.
Right now I have Standar Edition 10q as well as my client
THank you

If you want to develop an intranet web application, the HTTP server that comes with Standard Edition 10q would do. However, if you are thinking of it as an internet application then you better separate DB and web server. In that case you need to have either Oracle HTTP Server or Oracle Application Express Listener. Oracle HTTP server requires a license and usually bundled with DB or an Application Server. I believe Oracle Application Server is no longer being offered/available instead web logic server is made available. The basic edition of web logic would do as all you require is Oracle HTTP Server to broker the requestes between the web and the database. As far as I know, Oracle HTTP server is not being offered standalone. As mentioned above the other alternative is Oracle Application Express Listener but requires one of the J2EE complaint web servers like web logic, Glassfish, OC4J or TOMCAT.
Hope this helps!

Best beginner book for Oracle Application Express?

Hello Dear members,
I've got 12 years of experience developing Oracle applications using Oracle Forms and PL/SQL, that bit I'm an expert.
But I'm torn between which book to buy to learn Oracle Application Express.
The Expert Oracle Application Express vs Oracle Apex Cookbook is my main competition.
I'm already doing the 2 day Developer guide, but want to go in a bit deeper.
All of your suggestions welcome.
Thanks
Ravi

Ravi,
If you are not at all familiar with Application Express i would reccomend getting Beginning Oracle Application Express 4 because you will find that Pro Oracle Application Express 4, Second Edition, Expert Oracle Application Express and Oracle Apex Cookbook assume you have more of an unserstanding and some parts wont make sense. I had friend of mine get an advanced book and then immediately go back and get the beginner book because it just didnt have much meaning to him.
Thanks,

Need help on installing Oracle Application express 3.2

Hi,
I had downloaded Oracle 11g database and installed the personal edition.I got the Enterprise manager login page working and also the DBConsole
I had Downloaded APEX 3.2 and wanted to install apex 3.2.I wanted to do the following scenario
Scenario 3: Install from the Database and Configure the Embedded PL/SQL
Gateway
Planning to do these steps: ( I have few questions on these steps and are below each step)
■ Running the apxconf.sql Configuration Script
Do I have to install Oracle Application express or is it already installed in 11g personal edition?
Do I have to create a seperate database or schema for this step( I have only one instance orcl1) ?■ Verifying the Oracle XML DB HTTP Server Port
Can I do this step in my current orcl1 instance,if so which user■ Enabling Oracle XML DB HTTP Server
Once I carry out these steps, Can I access the admin page for apex with https://localhost:port/apex_admin ?
Am I missing any other steps ?
Thanks

I have one idea..
Try to install again:
1) download and unzip apex_3.2 in $ORACLE_HOME
You will have:
$ORACLE_HOME/apex - old directory
$ORACLE_HOME/apex_3.2 - new directory
2) in command line go to $ORACLE_HOME/apex_3.2/apex
run sqlplus "/as sysdba"
in sqlplus run @apexins tablespace_apex tablespace_files tablespace_temp images
Where:
tablespace_apex is the name of the tablespace for the Oracle Application Express application user.
tablespace_files is the name of the tablespace for the Oracle Application Express files user.
tablespace_temp is the name of the temporary tablespace.
images is the virtual directory for Oracle Application Express images. To support future Oracle Application Express upgrades, define the virtual image directory as /i/.
Example:
@apexins SYSAUX SYSAUX TEMP /i/
3) check installation log for errors
4) in command line go to $ORACLE_HOME/apex_3.2/apex
run sqlplus "/as sysdba"
in sqlplus run @apxconf
set admin password
set port
5) run @apxldimg.sql $ORACLE_HOME/apex_3.2
6) check for running listener and try to login apex: http:\\host:port\apex\apex_admin
Good luck!

Oracle Pl/Sql and Oracle Application Express for Beginners

Good day,
Have a prodigy that is strongly interested in oracle application express.Haven know that he will only do we in APEX if he is good in pl/sql and have some skills in html and javascripts.
For such person,what are the books that i can recommend for him,that will guide and assist him?Will be highly grateful if anybody can assist.

I think it also falsely gives the impression that one does not need to understand the database at all because Apex can do everything for you...This is why I echo Munky when he says that you need a solid understanding of data models and the database before attempting to build an application.
I absolutely concur with this view. When I first started using ApEx, I was basically given a user guide and told to get on with it :-) Subsequently, for the first 6 months or so, I built probably fairly lousy (but functional) apps until I got a better grasp of Oracle architecture.
That being said, SQL is an absolute must if you are going to work on a database. PL/SQL really should be learned as well because your application will be limited without it. CSS and Javascript and nice to have's, but they can be learned as you go. Since all of the api's are built in pl/sql, it would really hinder what you could do if you didn't know it.One resource I have found very useful is the good old 'Ant' book a.k.a. Oracle PL/SQL Programming by Feuerstein, et al. I have a well-thumbed 4th edition sitting on my desk at the moment - weirdly for a text book, rather a joy to read.
I personally found Jay-Lew's "Cost-based Oracle Fundamentals" a somewhat bitterer pill to swallow - tough on the way down but good for one's constitution!

Embedded License Resource Kit for Oracle Application Server 10g

Hi,
I work for a company and we are an Oracle partner. We would like to deliver our flagship product with Oracle Database and Application Server (10g) embedded.
According to an Oracle press release back in october 2003, Embedded License Resource Kits for Oracle Database and Oracle Application Server are available through the Oracle Partner Network (http://www.oracle.com/corporate/press/2484668.html)
I found a kit for Oracle Database through OPN but was not able to find one for Oracle Application Server 10g.
Does such a kit still exist for Oracle Application Server, and if yes where can I download it?

Go to MyOracleSupport/Metalink.
Click patches and Updates on the top left bar. Download the patches.
Each patch comes with its readme.txt. Do read it. It shows you how to install the patch. it also gives syntax with example for various scenarios of how to install it, or remove a patch either. In most of the patches, Installing a patch again does not hurt your system.
It's a good practice to keep db inventory clean before attempting to install the patch because otherwise the patch installation will fail.
hope that helps!

Oracle Application Express 3.0 and Ajax

Can we build Web 2.0 (ajax) application in Oracle Application Express 3.0?
- Open discussion
- Resources links welcome
Please contribute your thoughts thank you.

Hello,
All the examples in the documentation that he pointed you at are from this application.
It can be downloaded from here and installed.
http://apex.oracle.com/pls/otn/f?p=11933:22
You can also go to individual example pages ans most of them have the relevant code and links back to the forum thread that asked for that particular example.
Here is the overview page for the APEX ajax framework http://apex.oracle.com/pls/otn/f?p=11933:63
and here is the most basic example
http://apex.oracle.com/pls/otn/f?p=11933:11
This sample application has some Ajax features
http://www.oracle.com/technology/products/database/application_express/packaged_apps/packaged_apps.html#DOC_LIB
and these sample code example also take advantage of Ajax.
http://www.oracle.com/technology/products/database/application_express/packaged_apps/packaged_apps.html#LARGE
http://www.oracle.com/technology/products/database/application_express/packaged_apps/packaged_apps.html#STICKY
Past that I recommend you just start playing with it. Once you have the framework figured out, which doesn't take long, you can build Ajax features very quickly.

Unable Logging in to Oracle Application Express Administration Services

I am new for DB. Installed Oracle XE, followed the instruction "Logging in to Oracle Application Express Administration Services", I can not find the login page:
http://127.0.0.1:7777/pls/apex/apex_admin
I work on the PC in which XE installed.
Where are these two files
ORACLE_BASE\ORACLE_HOME\install\portlist.ini
ORACLE_BASE\ORACLE_HOME\Apache\Apache\conf\httpd.conf
I did a search, can't find them.
Any help welcome.
Thanks.

The default port for the Apex webserver is 8080, not 7777.
To access the XE Database GUI from the Start menu, select Programs (or All Programs), then Oracle Database 10g Express Edition, and then Go to Database Home Page. (I'm assuming your on Windows)
Or try: http://localhost:8080/apex in your browser.
The files you mention relate to Apache web server. Oracle XE does not include a Apache, it's web server is built into the database. Are you sure you're following the right documentation? See http://www.oracle.com/pls/xe102/homepage
Hope this helps.

How do I create "Oracle Application Express Adminstrator" in APEX 3.2.1?

Hello,
Quite the newbie so I appreciate any assistance with this.
How do create "Oracle Application Express Adminstrator" in APEX 3.2.1? I am not talking about a workspace adminstrator but an Entire APEX instance administrator or "superuser"?
I log into APEX_ADMIN as ADMIN and understand how to create a new user. But how do I grant the new user DBA or "super user" privlidges? It was easy to do when I first installed XE, I would just "check" the "DBA" when I created the user. But when I upgraded to APEX 3.2.1 the function does not seem to be there?
Thank you for any help you can provide!

Hi,
I think you can not grant DBA role from Apex anymore.
You need connect to database e.g. with SYS user and grant that role.
