Multiple Application Express Installs on one server

What, if any, restrictions / caveats are there for installing multiple Application Express versions on a single server? We have Application Express 2.2 installed and wondering if we can install Application Express 3.0 also.
With 2.2, we have FLOWS_020200, FLOWS_FILES, and APEX_PUBLIC_USER as database users. Version 3.0 will want to create FLOWS_030000, FLOWS_FILES, and APEX_PUBLIC_USER. Any problems with what I expect will be errors on "user already exists" for FLOWS_FILES and APEX_PUBLIC_USER?
Thanks in advance.

Hello,
I'm really sorry but this is a typo on my part. It should be "You can't have two different APEX versions on the same instance."
Does it mean that if we install ApEx v3 we will have only ApEx v3?Yes. This is exactly what it means. The installation script automatically detect previous installed APEX (or earlier HTML DB ) version, and upgrade it. You can end up with only one version per instance.

Arie.

Can I do multiple installs on one server at the same time ?

Hi. we have a project where the basis group is under very tight deadlines. We are tasked with installing multiple SAP systems on the same server. Is it possible to install more than one SAP systems ( ie ERP, BI, EP, CRM ) on the same physical server at the same time. for example on analyst install ERP while at the same time another analyst do EP and so on.... Has anyone done that before and if so are there any issures. ( I put in a SAP note and got the response that this is not supported, but I just wanted to see if anyone had done it anyways )

Hi Dan,
Frankly simultaneous installations is not a great idea. There will be an enormous competition for resources. Then you also need to make available ports for carrying out the installations. Next it will involve high amount of coordination
What of course is more reasonable is the idea of hosting more than one SAP instance on the same physical server though again harware is a very important concern. It includes your hard disk space,memory,CPU and other generic hardware.
Please award points for useful answers.
Regards.

Copy SQL Express DB from one server to another

backup, copy to new machine and restore; fix up user securities on new machine; set up maintenance plans; set up applications to point to new database (or if use DNS, no change..) step and repeat - of course during non-use time frame - my 2 cents

Looking for a good way to move a SQL express DB from an instance on one server to a SQL express instance on another server. I have the ability to connect to both through SSMS. Because these are express instances, I don't have the option to just copy the DB. Any help is appreciated.

Application Builder problem on one server but not another

I am having an Application Builder problem. When I get into App Express and go inside the builder and try to edit a listed application, I get an “http 404 the page cannot be found. The page might have had its name changed or is temporarily unavailable” situation. I can get into SQL commands, utilities, and administrative activities. I can also run the application. Also, if I go onto a different server with App Express on it, I can get into the builder and edit applications with no trouble. Our DBA had the server in question rebooted a little over a week ago and that took care of the problem for a couple days. Any ideas? Is this an Express problem or a server problem? He had also tried restarting Express before he had the reboot done and that didn’t help.
Thank you for any help.
Cordially,
Robert J. Smith

I have messages from the Apache error log files from the dates I was getting the builder error. For future reference, I will post them below. The builder has been working fine lately.

Configuring Problem in Oracle Application Express 3.0 Print Server

hi all,
Configuring for my Oracle Application Express Print Server in apex 3.0 I have used apache foa and made all steps in the documentation
http://www.oracle.com/technology/products/database/application_express/html/configure_printing.html
the print attribute works but I have a problem in the pdf print with characters.
My reports columns characters are turkish and when I linked to print pdf the print the turkish characters are seeming #
and I try to change in the script apex_fop_render.jsp I changed the encode but the problem was not solved.Can you help please urgently!
I am waiting your helps!

Apache FOP does not support some character sets out of the box, i.e. Asian languages require additional configuration steps. Not sure about those non-standard ISO characters in the Turkish alphabet though. But since you’re writing that those are returned as #, looks like the same problem. There should be information available on the Internet on how to configure those fonts and character sets with Apache FOP. Once BI Publisher is out, using that as the rendering engine with APEX might be another alternative to consider, as that product will support this out of the box.

Marc

Multiple application instance on the same server instance

Can we have multiple instances of the same application on a single WLS?? For ex, can I have two app.ear files in different application directories??

Hi Nilesh,
Can you please clarify your landscape as this will help in getting answers to your question.
In general adding instances (and/or server nodes) should be considered for increasing capacity rather than impoving performance. Specifcially, adding instances (and/or server nodes on the same host you risk a situation where the processes compete for resources which will have a negative effect on performance. If you do need to combine instances on the same host, make sure there is enough hardware (specifically memory in case of JAVA).
Hope this helps,
Best regards, Walter

Error reading Web application occurs when starting one server in the cluster

Hi All,
          I have configured two cluster servers in the win 2000. Admin server also win

You're getting that probably because the WL instance was not shut down properly.
If that's the case, you'll need to remove an ldap lock file (with a .lok extension) in the directory of ldap files (under the server dir) .

How to move EP installation from one server to another server

Hi All,
we have a EP server installed. Now we have to move this EP instance onto a different machine. The source and target hardwareosDB would be the same.
Can some one tell me how to do it.
Is Homogeneous System Copy a solution for this. Or I have to install a new EP instance on the new server and then copy the contents from the old EP instance?
If I move the EP instance to the new server then will the portal run normally without any error or will i loose it and have to install it again?
thanks
PK

Hi,
Q1: Is Homogeneous System Copy a solution for this.
A1: Yes it is, its quick and works good now a days... (one small remark, I don't know if it still is true but System Copy with 6.40 required that the SID of the Source and Destination could not be the same, so if someone can fill me in on that?)
Q2: Or I have to install a new EP instance on the new server and then copy the contents from the old EP instance?
A2: Also a solution but, takes a bit more time and when you want a clone then you need to know exactly what was done when installing the inital system.
Cheers,
Benjamin Houttuin

Can I set up multiple instances on iPlanet on one server, one to handle clear-text traffic, and one to handle SSL traffic?

Long story, but the iPlanet version is 4.1 SP9. We will be filtering users coming in remotely (via internet VPN or dialup) to the SSL implementation, the internal intranet users to the clear-text implementation... thanks!

Hi,
you can run more then one instance in iWS.
like one for http://www.test.com:80(for TEXT) and other for https://www.test.com:6000
(Note: you couldn't not able to use same port for different instance). I hope this may answer your question.
Thanks,
Daks.

Oracle Portal, Application Express, Oracle Forms/Reports 10g - which one?

Hi,
I have Oracle 10g database and Application Express installed on one linux box.
second linux box has Oracle HTTP server running from where i call the htmldb pages.
3rd linux box has Oracle Application Server 10.1.2 installed along with SSO, Portal 10.1.4 , Forms Server etc.
Now, i see there are 3 ways i can develop web applications
1. using Application Express and http server which is very basic and simple.
2. using Oracle Forms/Reports 10g and forms/reports server
3. Oracle Portal 10.1.4 in Application Server 10.1.2
Can someone guide me, which one of the above 3 is worth sticking on forever for developing web applications. i am really not sure which one of the above is best for Web developement in terms of long term planning. and i believe all 3 of the above can be integrated with Oracle SSO for authentication.
Can someone guide me please to select one of the above and can you explain me why for my better understanding of the different tools?
Thanks,
Philip.

Hi Philip.
If you already have Oracle Portal, I think that portal is the best solution.
Portal can be integrated with others applications using SSO.
Oracle portal have a lot of features that help you to develop web applications.
If portal does not offer what you want, you can develop your own portlets using java or plsql.
Take a look at the default home page of oracle portal.
Look better the features that portal offer to you.

Thanks.

One server certificate for one application? not for whole WebServer

Hello,
I am using SSL for the server- and clieint authtication. It works fine. But this authtication works for all applcations in this Webserver. How can I make it only for one application available? or one server certifiate for a certain application?
Example:
Config:
<Connector port="8443" maxThreads="150" minSpareThreads="25" maxSpareThreads="75" enableLookups="false" disableUploadTimeout="true" acceptCount="100" debug="0" scheme="https" secure="true" clientAuth="true" sslProtocol="SSL" keystoreFile="C:\temp\keystore\server\server.keystore" keystorePass="changeit" truststoreFile="C:\temp\keystore\server\trust.keystore" truststorePass="changeit"/>
and all application used same server certificate:
like: https://localhost:8443/myapp1
https://localhost:8443/myapp2
used same server certificate.
How can I make one certificate for one application?
thanks

and I am using Tomcat 5.0 standalone

How to stop and start only the process of Oracle Application Express?

I'd like to know how to stop the process of Oracle Application Express on my server installed oracle express package.
After installed Oracle Express edition, not only oracle database server processes but also Oracle Application Express, such as http server, is started automatically...
I hope to stop and start Application Express on demand but is this feature enabled?

Oracle Apex is an API, if that helps you understand / visualize. You do not start Apex process nor stop it.
When an Apex session starts it starts calling the API.
You can however start / stop the listener. It may be OHS, ApexListener and the J2EE container running it, OC4J or any other "server" that you are using.
The built-in EPG is something like an API again, you cannot start / stop it but you can disable/enable it with DBMS_XDB.SETHTTPPORT API.

Multiple Application Server's Version installs multiple jinitiator

I have multiple Application Servers in my environment and they have different versions like 9iAS 9.0.4 10.0.2 etc. I am facing a problem that when my users jump from one Application Server to another then it uses and install different jinitiator.
Kindly let me tell that how i can use just one version of Jinitiator with all versions of Application Server???

Hello,
I'm really sorry but this is a typo on my part. It should be "You can't have two different APEX versions on the same instance."
Does it mean that if we install ApEx v3 we will have only ApEx v3?Yes. This is exactly what it means. The installation script automatically detect previous installed APEX (or earlier HTML DB ) version, and upgrade it. You can end up with only one version per instance.
