New to apex

Hi,
Sorry for being naive,
I have intalled a 10g XE in my PC and it have also built in apps express.
My question is, is it the same version of APEX that being taught it this forum? I mean does it have all the functiuonalities which are being discussed in
here?
Thanks a lot for your kindness :)

Hi,
It's not naive at all to ask that ;)
The default install of APEX in Oracle XE is version 2.1
You can now upgrade that to the latest version of APEX which is currently version 3.0.1, you can find more details on how to upgrade (and what 3.0.1 gives you) here -
http://www.oracle.com/technology/products/database/application_express/index.html
http://www.oracle.com/technology/products/database/application_express/html/3.0.1_and_xe.html
Hope this helps,
John.

Interactive Report question-New to Apex

Hi, I am new to Apex..I request your help in solving a prob..
I am trying to create an interactive report(IR) which has more than 160 columns..It says the max limit is 60(or 64) columns..I remember when I was just starting to build the app it did allow me to create the report with 160+ columns but I didnt want to start with IR..My entire application has been built and this is the only thing that has to be done..Is there anyway to create an IR with 160+ columns now that I am almost finishing up the app..
(just a thot-may be create another app with the IR and then import that page-if you think that will work plz guide me on how to do it)
Regards,
R

Hi R,
I had the same thought; if it's possible to create a new appl with IR with 160+ columns then do so.
After creating a new appl go back to the original appl, open one of the pages, click the copy button on top of the page, click 'Page in another application', select the new appl with the IR, then select the page with IR ...... follow the steps
Kind regards

New to APEX, help with simple app please

Need to create a simple app based on 1 box with 4 buttons based to execute sql. Having hard time sifting throught the material need app fast. Sorry for being a block head. Can anyone help or suggest any books to point me in right direction. Need asap. Any help will be appreciated.
Simple app with one box where username is entered
--------------------- Enter new users name
Create user with with added synonyms A
Create user without synonyms B
Remove user C
ADD synonyms to existing user D
EXIT E
A = Executes create user command with additional lines of code to add the synonyms
B = Executes simple create user command
C = Executes delete user, (sys, system, ect will be excluded
D = Executes command to add 3 private synonyms
We are limiting the data they can see if they do not have a synonym.
Thanks a ton

Scott,
Thanks for your reply. This is a DBA create user tool, management wants to provide the application administrator ability to create DBA users only for this database. The application is built so users with certain private synonyms assigned can see data, those without do not. It is a customized COTS app, I would never design like that.
I do not agree with it, not my decision. I built a shell menu and scripts but that is not GUI enough for this boss. At first It looked like a simple APEX app. I am finding that APEX is more a reporting tool based on objects and I will continue to use it for that. I am learning lots about it so that is cool.

Definng and calling javascript on apex 4.2 (New on Apex)

Hi.
can anyone tell me where do i create a javascript on apex 4.2 ? so i can call it from various pages.

I suggest create a javascript (.js) file with all your functions and upload it through the shared components > static files and refer the javascript in javascript URL reference in page attributes. The code will be something like <script language="javascript" src="#APP_IMAGES#javascript file" /> or #WORKSPACE_IMAGES#.

How APEX work with New Schema

Hello,
I have APEX installed already in my database and currently it's catering 2 schemas, say schema1 and schema2. Schema2 has been dropped now and new Schema3 has been created.
I changed dads.conf file and pointed to new schema, Schema3, restarted HTTP server but when trying to access URL I am getting
Error 403: Forbidden
You don't have permission to access /pls/apex_1/apex_admin on this server.
Also upon checking the log file, i could see ORA-1017 error which means apex_public_user doesn't exist in Schema3. So just wondering do I need to go for another installation of APEX or there is other better alternative.
Regards
Pankaj

Hello Jari,
I think my last post was not that clear. Here I am not referring to apex internal schemas.
Below is dads.conf which includes two different database, database1 and database3(new).
APEX url for database1 is working fine but I am getting error 403 for database3 as it's newly created.
So My question is how an existing APEX configuration works for new Database.

Apex Application inserting into two tables from two regions in a page

Hey Guys,
Fairly new to apex like two days. So please bare with me. I am using apex 4.0.2.00.07.
I have a page with two regions. The first region has only one row and I have no problems accessing it and inserting those values into the table this is what I used to access one column from that one row APEX_APPLICATION.G_F03(1)
The second region is an interactive report, to which I have managed to add a checkbox and a textbox.
1)So if a checkbox has been checked off the row should be inserted
2) if the textbox has been entered it should replaceone of the values.
My question is how to access the second region? I started a loop based on the rows in the collection but that is as far as I got.
FOR idx IN 1..l_collectionTable_name
loop
end loop
Any help would be greatly appreciated?
Thank you

APEX Listener for Extranet

Hi,
We've been using Oracle HTTP Server (Apache) for my APEX connections. We're new to APEX Listener and have no knowledge about it.
1. First of all, is Oracle GlassFish Server free? Does it require license cost per CPU like Oracle Weblogic does?
2. We currently have an extranet box that runs Oracle HTTP (actually Oracle HTTP inside Oracle AS 9i). If we need to use APEX Listener, should we install the J2EE Container (Oracle GlassFish) with APEX Listener inside our "Intranet" and only the Oracle HTTP Server in our extranet server? I'm confused about the appropriate method for "extranet" environment.
Thanks.
Andy

Hi Andy,
1. First of all, is Oracle GlassFish Server free? Does it require license cost per CPU like Oracle Weblogic does?As Prabodh already mentioned, there exist two different editions of GlassFish by now: The officially supported Oracle GlassFish Server (with license costs) and GlassFish Server Open Source Edition (free). While you can run APEX Listener on both of these JEE Containers, you will not get any support through MOS when using the latter one.
2. We currently have an extranet box that runs Oracle HTTP (actually Oracle HTTP inside Oracle AS 9i). If we need to use APEX Listener, should we install the J2EE Container (Oracle GlassFish) with APEX Listener inside our "Intranet" and only the Oracle HTTP Server in our extranet server? I'm confused about the appropriate method for "extranet" environment.I'm not sure if this has become clear yet: You don't actually need OHS for APEX if you start using APEX Listener. You can deploy APEX Listener to a GlassFish on your extranet server. It'll connect to the database listener of your APEX instance using JDBC like OHS/mod_plsql did before.
Of course, you could think about adding a security layer to your database by hiding it's listening endpoint from your extranet. To do that, you could deploy APEX Listener in your internal network and let OHS (or a "plain" Apache HTTPD) on your extranet box act as a proxy. That way, you'll have only HTTP or AJP traffic through your firewall (or whatever is in between your internal network and your extranet), but you could close your database port. In that case, it also could be a good idea to let the proxy serve the static contents for APEX ("images") on your extranet box for less traffic on the link between internal network and extranet and especially for better response times towards extranet clients. Of course, if you have internal users for that instance as well, you'll want to deploy the images to the GlassFish as well...

Problem with javascript onload in apex page

I want to run some javascript in APEX when the user loads the page, but I am having trouble getting the onload function to work. I’m new to javascript so it’s probably a simple mistake on my part .
All I want to do is to change the background colour of a field (P5_GRPT) depending on the value of another field (P5_MIN_DAYS). I just want to get something basic that works then I can build on it and make it more elegant/generic, but at the moment the script below appears to have no effect whatsoever. Any help would be much appreciated. I have set the cursor focus attribute to “do not focus cursor” (Apex version 3.01.00.12)
Page header html:
<script type="text/javascript">
Function trafficlight()
c = document.getElementById("P5_MIN_DAYS").value;
switch(c)
case 1:
$x("P5_GRPT").style.backgroundColor = "green";break;
case 2:
$x("P5_GRPT").style.backgroundColor = "yellow";break;
default:
$x("P5_GRPT").style.backgroundColor = "red";break;
</script>Page html body:
onload="trafficlight();"

hi
I'm new in apex 3.2 javasrcript and speak spanish
i have function in html header
<script language="JavaScript" type="text/javascript">
function colorSal(pCol){
var elms=document.getElementsByname(pCol);
for (i=0; i< elms.length; i++){
if (elms.value < 1500){
elms[i].style.backgroundColor ='yellow';
</script>
and on body header:
onload="colorSal ('f07');"
This should change color column seven of tabular form but it does not happen .
the query in tabular form is
select
"EMPNO",
"EMPNO" EMPNO_DISPLAY,
"ENAME",
"JOB",
"MGR",
"HIREDATE",
"SAL",
"COMM",
"DEPTNO",
"MODIFIED_BY",
"TICKED"
from "#OWNER#"."EMP"

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

To store time only in the table and get it to the report in Apex

Hi,
I am very very new to Apex.
I get a txt file with around 57 columns(comma seperated). In apex we import this and insert it into a database table (csv into table) and then generate a reports out of this table using procedure/packages. we have different fields in this extract which gives different dates and times ( thats right dates and time comes seperate in seperate columns). I would like to insert this dates and times seperately into the table. thats is, getting a table as an exact image of the extract we receive.What data type do I choose to save just the time.
I can only see 'date' data type where I can have both date and time. But can't find anything just for time.
The main use of this time(s) saved seperately in the table is , I can then easily display it in reports.
The report the users want has got fields like transport start time, duty start time etc..
If you can't save time seperately in the database table, then can somebody suggest a way of saving it in table (in the method available)and then getting the time seperated out into the report.
Currently the users use macro on excel to get this reports and formatting a cell to 'time' is simple.
Any suggestions welcome.
Regards
Liza

Varad,
I have been trying to get this date-time issue in different areas in my application.
From csv to table its working (once I got dates in the extract adjusted to '02mar2009' format).
Now I have manipulation to do on this datetime.
Say I have datetime1, to get datetime2 I have to get datetime1 and reduce some minutes.
I got the time part into l_temp after reducing the minutes.
datetime2 :=to_date(sysdate || l_temp,'dd-mon-yyyy hh24mi');
It gives an error saying 'literals doesn't match format string' (both at sql command and PL/SQL in apex
I even tried datetime2 :=to_date(to_char(sysdate,'dd-mon-yyyy') || l_temp,'dd-mon-yyyy hh24mi');
gets the same error in apex but this works fine in sql command.
But if I put datetime2 :=to_date('02mar09' || l_temp,'dd-mon-yyyy hh24mi');
Do you know why? Can you suggest something?
Obviously, I can't hard code it. I have read the date from table1 and write it to table 2 with after this manipulation.
Any suggestion?
regards
Liza

No Data Found In APEX report

Hello All
I am new to APEX and have a problem. I have created several reports in APEX that allow users to extract data into Excel. However, one report says that No Data is Found in excel although data appears when report is run. Hope I am making my self clear.

Arie,
in my case I must have hit a bug (still using Application Express 2.2.1.00.04): I observed this "no data found" issue, and worked around it by just disabling CSV export in the report settings and re-enabling it again afterwards.
I don't quit understand why we need to apply procedures likes those described in http://htmldb.oracle.com/pls/otn/f?p=31517:117 : shouldn't a CSV export simply work when the corresponding report is non-empty?
