Need docs on ORACLE tags.

Since search engines almost universally crop out characters like < and > in their databases, I'm having trouble finding documentation on the <ORACLE> tags feature of the portal.
I want to know what all the ramifications are of using this mechanism for dynamic web content... performance issues, scoping, variable persistance, can you define procedures, etc?
Can anyone point me to good pages (including OTN) that document this feature of the portal?
Thanks.
Scott

contains some info on the <ORACLE> tags
Basically you can put your PLSQ code to call a procedure or whatever u like
I think that you can find some useful stuff in the portal online help

Need doc for oracle BIS

i am interested in learning Oracle business intelligence system, plz give me info of related documents - where to find them in Oracle site.

1) All product docs are at http://tahiti.oracle.com
2) Study materials and methods could be discussed in the Certification forum
3) Please don't ask for download of Oracle class student course notes as distributing that is illegal
4) What you need to study is available at http://education.oracle.com > Certification > Exams
5) Sybex and Oracle Press books, if available, are good resources.

Regd Integration of Domino.doc with Oracle 9i AS Portal

I want to know whether the integration of domino.doc with oracle 9i as portal
is possible or not.
Can anyone guide me whether the integration is
possible or not and if it is possible which document
should i refer for the same.
and i dont know much about domino.doc
pls consider this as urgent
Regds

1)Portal is an integrated component of 9iAS. You need to download all of 9iAS and select the minimal install option.
2)We haven't tested this configuration, but as long as you set up apache appropriately to use different ports than the existing software it should work.
3)Portal requires 8.1.6.2 Enterprise edition or 8.1.7 Standard edition. Personal Edition will not work.

ORACLE tags not working after 1.5.1 patch

I have some logic in my template the looks up information from some Oracle tables. This logic worked fine in 1.5.0, however, after applying the 1.5.1 patch it does not perform the Oracle logic, but shows the Oracle code as HTML on the page. Here is the code in question: (This is not the entire code, but one HTML TD that comes before the Oracle code, and one HTML TD that comes after it)
<TD align="center" valign="top"><A
href="/pls/portal/PORTAL.home"><IMG src="#WORKSPACE_IMAGES#ihome.gif" alt="Home" border="0"></A></TD>
<ORACLE>
BEGIN htp.tableData(htf.anchor2('javascript:help_openTopic(''/insitehelp/Insite_Help.htm'', ''' || pkg_insite_general.help_link(v('APP_ID'), v('APP_PAGE_ID')) || ''')', '', '', '', '><IMG src="#WORKSPACE_IMAGES#ihelpl.gif" alt="Help" border=0'), 'center');
END;
</ORACLE>
<TD align="center" valign="top"><IMG src="#WORKSPACE_IMAGES#ilogout.gif" alt="Logout" border="0"></TD>
This is what displays on the web page:
BEGIN htp.tableData(htf.anchor2('javascript:help_openTopic(''/insitehelp/Insite_Help.htm'', ''' || pkg_insite_general.help_link(v('APP_ID'), v('APP_PAGE_ID')) || ''')', '', '', '', '>

Your removal of functionality in a bug fix has broken a production application for us. This does not seem like something that should have been done with a "patch"
I have just read all that I can find on "shortcuts" and am not finding what I need.
Here is what we are doing:
We are using RoboHelp for our help content. We have a help icon and a help link on the header of the page. This is defined in our template. We have to have the name of the module (Page Alias) to link the page being run to the help content for that page. Since you do not have a system variable for page name or page alias, I have had to put this information into an Oracle table. I was looking that up with a function within the Oracle Tags.
Can I create a shortcut that would create the following code pl/sql code into a PL/SQL function body:
BEGIN
htp.tableData(htf.anchor2('javascript:help_openTopic(''/insitehelp/Insite_Help.htm'', ''' || pkg_insite_general.help_link(v('APP_ID'), v('APP_PAGE_ID')) || ''')', '', '', '', '><IMG src="#WORKSPACE_IMAGES#ihelpl.gif" alt="Help" border=0'), 'center');
END;
and call this shortcut where this help icon needs to appear like:
<TD align="center" valign="top">
"CALLHELPWITHICON"
</TD>
I have done the above, but it does not work. What am I doing wrong, how can I get this to work? We have had to remove our help icons because of this patch.
I thank you so for your research on this.

Oracle tags and JavaScript

Attention JavaScript and Oracle Guru's,
My company has come up with a great requirement using JavaScript and dynamic pages to provide end users with a Systems Availability Information portlet, which scrolls text along the screen.
This is as follows.....
They want a Portlet which scrolls text along the screen on the users home page. This has been easy enough to implementbut now this information has to be supplied from the database (an Internal Systems Operation team input information into this table via a form)
HmmmmOracle tags do not work within JavaScript. So I have created a hidden form on the outside of the JavaScript to pass in text.
This works great with normal text variables, so I thought the addition of Oracle tags would be the next logical step needed to pass data from the database into the scrolling text Portlet.
With use of the <Oracle> tags and hidden variables I have managed to come up with the following....
<html>
<body>
<form id="hiddenOracleForm">
<input type="hidden" name="recordset1" value="<oracle> select * from mnunn.matt_ticker_table</oracle> ">
</form>
< !-- START OF SCRIPT -->
<HTML>
<BODY BGCOLOR="FFFFFF" TEXT="000000" LINK="0000FF" VLINK="800080" ALINK="FF0000">
<head>
<script language="JavaScript">
< !-- begin
var max=0;
function textlist()
max=textlist.arguments.length;
for (i=0; i<max; i++)
this=textlist.arguments[i];
document.write('the variable for rs1 is ' + rs1);
var rs1 = document.forms['hiddenOracleForm'].recordset1.value;
tl=new textlist
rs1
var x=0; pos=0;
var l=tl[0].length;
function textticker()
document.tickform.tickfield.value=tl[x].substring(0,pos)+"_";
if(pos++==l) { pos=0; setTimeout("textticker()",1000); x++;
if(x==max) x=0; l=tl[x].length; } else
setTimeout("textticker()",50);
// end -->

Now when this scrolls along the screen, I do not get the expected outcome from the database table. Instead it scrolls.<TABLE border=
I dont know where this information has come from because it should say..

Has anybody tried this before or got any ideas on where I could be going wrong??????
Thanks for any help..Matt.

Dynamic Page / Oracle Tags/ Javascript

I'm attempting to insert values from an Oracle database into javascript code that creates a scrolling text area. I'm assuming I need to use <oracle></oracle> tags to do so, but I'm not sure exactly how to populate what I need in the code. Any ideas?
The code is below. The area that needs to be populated with the data is in the Array variable, and I've used "Database Value 1, 2, 3" as placeholders.
<!DOCTYPE HTML PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD HTML 4.0 Transitional//EN">
<html>
<head>
     <title>Untitled</title>
<style TYPE="text/css">
     
     </style>
<script language="JavaScript1.2">
          var TS_message = new Array();
TS_message[0] = '<div align="left">Database Value 1</div>';
     TS_message[1] = '<div align="left">Database Value 2</div>';
          TS_message[2] = '<div align="left">Database Value 3</div>';
var TS_scrollwidth=400
          var TS_colorFG = 0x000000;
          var TS_colorBG = 0xFFFFFF;
          var TS_ymax = 50;
          var TS_ystep = 1;
     var TS_speed = 2;
var TS_pause = 100;
          var TS_fadestep= 20;
if (document.all)
document.write('<style>#containerarea{width:'+TS_scrollwidth+'}</style>')
</script>
</head>
<body>
<DIV id="containerarea">
<SCRIPT LANGUAGE="JavaScript1.2" SRC="\\Portalapp\ORACLE\iSuites\portal30\java\textfader.js"></SCRIPT>
</DIV>
</body>
</html>

You can write a piece of PL/SQL for
TS_message[0] = '<div align="left">Database Value 1</div>';
TS_message[1] = '<div align="left">Database Value 2</div>';
TS_message[2] = '<div align="left">Database Value 3</div>';
between <ORACLE> tags:
declare
cursor ...
begin
loop for i in cursor loop
htp.p('TS_message[0] = ''<div align="left">'||i.value||'</div>''; ';
end loop;
end;
Hope it helps.

Oracle tags in templates

I know I've seen posts on this in the past, but can't find them for the life of me. I've searched through about 20 pages of search results with no hits, so I must ask again.
Can someone explain why the functionality of the oracle tags were removed from the HTML templates? And is there a way I can solicit to have it put back in?
Thanx.

Hello,
>>
There certainly may be other ways to do what we want without the ORACLE tags, but constructing the pages in Oracle Portal and ApEx would be much different in that scenario and it would be nice have a common way of developing the "template" of a page in both environments.
Am I making this too complicated?
>>
I think you are in one respect and not in another.
As for page templates( the more complicated part), the cold hard fact is APEX and Portal are two different animals and their template systems are just different, the easiest way to take care of those differences is to make as much of your Look and Feel derived from an external CSS. This will allow you to apply the same look and feel to any development environment you might have to use in the future as well.
As for the menu that is slightly different. What I would do is create a PL/SQL package that creates the required HTML structure, then you can call that package using a PL/SQL region in APEX, and I guess <oracle> tags or whatever else Portal uses to output PL/SQL sections.
One way I've done something similar is to use the XMLDB functions of the database to render out the html i need to make menu's tree's etc, It's pretty easy to get what you want and is very generic.

Carl

Need to learn Oracle Financials-Need Info

Need to learn Oracle Financials.Anyone with any info.
Please email [email protected]

There are so many versions and packages of Oracle. Which one should I learn?
latest version is oracle 10g
but i think you will go oracle 9i rel 2
because all commercial application use oracle 9i database.
Which is the easiest way to get trained and certified? What kind of certification do I need?
you need a oracle 9i dba certification
or may be 9i developer certification
it up to you
but oracle 9i dba is more valuable than developer track
you will learn this from oracle university
excellent oracle material for ocp (but it is too costly also)
http://otn.oracle.com/training/index.html
Or u will read your self
all oracle docs available athttp://otn.oracle.com/documentation/index.html
better you will read first this
http://download-west.oracle.com/docs/cd/B10501_01/server.920/a96524/toc.htm

i think v.fox pro perform both work as frontend as backend
in oracle

Need to install oracle application server

i need to install oracle application server. so plz tell me how can i do this ,and i dont know about the oracle application server achitechture.
plz provide some links ..so that i can understand
developers are asking me to install oc4j container

There are installations guides for the various Oracle Application Server offerings. So my first suggestion would be to have a look around relevant documentation section of OTN and see what you can learn.
As you've mentioned OC4J, that does indicate you are looking at Oracle Application Server 10g:
http://www.oracle.com/technology/documentation/appserver10132.html
If you are looking for Oracle Fusion Middleware 11g, then this is the main page to start from:

I am running 10.6.8 and using iweb for my web site. After several SEO analysis they all indicate I need H1-6 header tags. After looking at the source code I see there are none in iweb. Is it necessary to add? If so, how do I add H Tags to iweb.

I am running 10.6.8 and using iweb for my web site. After several SEO analysis they all indicate I need H1-6 header tags. After looking at the source code I see there are none in iweb. Are they necessary to add? Why would one add these tags and how do I add H Tags to iweb? And are there examples to look at? I am slowly learning about simple web design and assumed that iweb was stand alone without having to write code. Is this one of the reasons iweb is no longer supported? Thanks for looking at this!

A simple text page like this:
Heading
    sub heading
          text paragraph ....
Is traditionally represented by html tags like:
<h1>Heading</h1>
     <h2>sub heading</h2>
          <p>text paragraph ... </p>
I would guess that the use of h1-h6 tags helps search engines to understand the structure of a page as the tags imply a certain structure.
This can be compared to more generic tags like <div> that could represent any kind of content - and may be what iWeb uses (you'll have to check yourself).
I would generally recommend that you use some kind of up to date blog/site building tool, perhaps Wordpress or Squarespace (I haven't used either one myself) that support current web technologies - this should reduce your SEO issues and make it easier to properly support mobile/tablet users.

ORACLE Tags in Dynamic Pages

In the beta version, a Dynamic Page could be developed that did not contain the Oracle tags, <ORACLE> and </ORACLE>. The production version appears to require the use of these tags.
I've tried to work around this by using <ORACLE> select ' ' from dual</ORACLE> which gave me a blank, but with a different color background and <ORACLE>htp.br;</ORACLE> which Oracle Portal would not accept.
Any suggestions on how to create a Dynamic Page where the Oracle tags do not impact the display of the page?

Oracle Tag in Report Header Text

I am trying to use the Oracle tag in the Report and Customization Form Text Header Section. I would like to show the current date/time as well issue a select statement. Does this not work?
<ORACLE>
htp.p(to_char(sysdate,'Day, Month DD YYYY HH:MI AM'));
</ORACLE>

Hi,
You can only enter plain text or HTML tags here. If you want to use select statement or plsql you can use the
additional plsql code sections to do this.
Thanks,

DO I NEED TO HAVE ORACLE 11G INSTALLED?

Hi,
I have never used Oracle before. I have a very basic doubt. I have a Peoplesoft Id and password. I wish to know if I need to have Oracle 11g installed on my laptop to be able to use Peoplesoft Code to create applications using an online database? Kindly let me know at the earliest and will be of great help.
I greatly appreciate it.
Thanks. :)

You need to have app designer installed if you want to work with peopletools, which will allow you to connect 3-tier to running Oracle/Peoplesoft instance. If you want to connect 2-tier, then you'll need the 11g client installed.

Need docs on ORACLE tags.
