Start with the Oracle® Database 2 Day + Application Express Developer's Guide tutorial in order to understand basic APEX techniques and terminology. Creating a Form on a Table with Report is the best way to get basic data retrieval and maintenance up and running.
Further APEX tutorials are available in the Oracle Learning Library.
Installing the database sample app and other demo apps and reviewing the techniques they use will also be instructive.
When you post to this forum you'll get a faster, more effective response by including as much relevant information as possible upfront. This should include:
Full APEX version
Full DB/version/edition/host OS
Web server architecture (EPG, OHS or APEX listener/host OS)Browser(s) and version(s) used
Theme
Template(s)
Region/item type(s) (making particular distinction as to whether a "report" is a standard report, an interactive report, or in fact an "updateable report" (i.e. a tabular form)
With APEX we're also fortunate to have a great resource in apex.oracle.com where we can reproduce and share problems. Reproducing things there is the best way to troubleshoot most issues, especially those relating to layout and visual formatting. If you expect a detailed answer then it's appropriate for you to take on a significant part of the effort by getting as far as possible with an example of the problem on apex.oracle.com before asking for assistance with specific issues, which we can then see at first hand.

New to Application Express - Drill down report question

Good evening group. I'm new to this Application and DB but can't find quite the correct answer.
QUESTION 1 - I have found and successfully used the "Drill down report example". However, I am only able to do it from a brand new application. That doesn't seem quite right though.
QUESTION 2 - I dropped a column while cleaning/correcting my data but I can't seem to get rid of it from a couple of simple HTML reports. I can't find out how to remove the column (granted I am looking for the gui tool). I would use the "query source" under the "report attributes" tab but the lower section (I believe they are the joins) have me perplexed.
Any thoughts, help would be greatly appreciated.
-Dave

Hi Dave,
>> QUESTION 1 - I have found and successfully used the "Drill down report example". However, I am only able to do it from a brand new application. That doesn't seem quite right though.
I'm not being a smart alec, but I don't see the question in this.
>> QUESTION 2 - I dropped a column while cleaning/correcting my data but I can't seem to get rid of it from a couple of simple HTML reports. I can't find out how to remove the column (granted I am looking for the gui tool). I would use the "query source" under the "report attributes" tab but the lower section (I believe they are the joins) have me perplexed.
For now, don't worry about the WHERE clause of the SQL query unless the column you dropped is in the WHERE clause as well. Beginning with SELECT and up until FROM in the query statement, if you see your column, remove it from there.
If you post your query and the column to be removed, we can help further.

Application Express Tutorials

Hi ,
I am new to Application Express and trying to learn it . Can you please guide me what are all i need to know to learn it and good materials and also what other skills need to know to develop apps using this.
Thanks

You can read the oracle documents for APEX4.2, use the below link
Oracle Application Express - Documentation</title><meta name="Title" content="Oracle Application…
2 Day + Developer's Guide
Application Builder User's Guide
SQL Workshop Guide

These are very useful documents for developers. Also there are so much books available for oracle APEX.

Application Express password expiration

I am new to application express and doing some testing and I noticed that my developer/administrator account keeps on expireing. So you if navagate to the account control: account availiablility is unlocked, but the developer/administrator password is expired.
Not sure why this keeps on happening? I have logged into everywhere I can think of, read about, everything says either disabled or No, such as the user account expiration and locking, account locking, etc....
This is happening with several other accounts I have created as well...
any insight. Thanks

Took me a bit to track it down.
Log in to the APEX Admin site.
Go to Manage Service
Go to Security
Scroll down until you see Account Login Control. Here you can set the password retention (in days), retries before account lockout, and whether or not to require a retention policy.

Is it possible to execute a stored procedure from application express?

I have created a pl/sql application now I would like to give it a front end, I am new to application express.
My application depends on running a couple of pl/sql procedures that modify data.
What I need is my user to be able to execute the procedures from the application in a browser, is it possible to run a pl/sql procedure from an application express application in a browser?
how would I go about doing this?
thank you very much.
Ramiro

You sure can.
If you want to run a PL/SQL procedure/package/function from the URL, create a specific DAD entry just for that (Oracle) user, and give that user EXECUTE permissions on the procedure. Then just use the new DAD with the procedure name, like http://myserver.somewhere.com/MyNewDAD/Schema_Owner.MyPackage.MyProcedure?InParameter=MyParameter)
Of course, the above line will need heavy modification on your end, but I do this in my app, but I actaully pass it through a javascript attached to a button which then opens it in a new window.
If instead, all you want to do is execute a procedure with ApEx as part of a validation or process or something, select the PL/SQL 'Region' (or process, whatever it is you want to do), and then write it as an anonymous block:
begin
MyProcedure;
end;

New version of Application Express 3.0 - Cost

I down loaded Oracle Express which is free. It had a version of Application Express 2.1.0.00.39
I noticed the Application Express 3.0 is now out. Can I down load it and perform an upgrade or do I have to do a new install?
Is Application Express 3.0 Free or do I have to buy a license?

Just to clarify - You mention Oracle Express. That version of the database came bundled with a custom version of APEX, specifically 2.1 (as you noted). Our latest release of Application Express, 3.0, does not contain the XE-specific features and was not intended to be installed in XE. Our Installation Doc specifically says -
Note:
Do not install this version of Oracle Application Express on Oracle Database Express Edition (Oracle Database XE).
http://download.oracle.com/docs/cd/B32472_01/doc/install.300/b32468/pre_require.htm#BABFCFBC
That said, there are many people who have done it - you can search for the pros, cons and instructions.
On your costing question, Application Express is a no-cost option available for Oracle 9i, 10g and will be the same for 11g.
-- Sharon
p.s. Arie - I believe Denes comment was for the future of the XE version. Nothing has been publicly stated about Oracle releasing an upgrade to it. I don't think he is at all questioning the future of APEX.

Print a report from Application Express direct to a CUPS Printer

Hi all, I'm new to this technology, is it possible to print a report from Application Express directly to a CUPS Printer? Can someone tell me in laymans terms how to do it? I find the terminology and documentation less than helpful.

Jeremy,
BI Publisher handles submitting reports directly to a CUPS printer. However, the APEX integration doesn't currently integrate with that portion of BI Publisher.
Here's an options:
Use the Java API of BI Publisher to build a custom Java program that would do this for you. Delivering to CUPS is part of the Java API.

Can not login to Oracle Application Express after upgrade to 3.2

I installed oracle database express and then I upgrade APEX to 3.2 on it. I got the login page but I can not login by using any account, like SYS, SYSTEM. From the document, internal ADMIN account should exist but I did not see it from dba_users table.
Thanks,
Julie

HI Don,
I did run apxchpwd.sql to change the Application Express ADMIN user password. Then I invoked http://mymachine:8080/apex and got the Application Express login page. I put ADMIN in workspace and ADMIN in Username and the new password. But I still cannot login. I also tried http://mymachine:8080/apex/apex_admin page login. I typed ADMIN as username and the new password. Then I clicked on Login button. Nothing happened. No error message.
Any idea?
By the way, what does apxxepwd.sql do?
Thanks,
Julie

SSO Authentication for more than one application in Application Express

Hello,
I recently got a single application working with SSO integration for Application Express 2.2.
Now I would like to create multiple applications within the same workspace, which all use SSO authentication. I tried both copying the working one from the other application and creating a new SSO authentication scheme from scratch into the new aplication.
I cant seem to make the new application work with SSO authentication. Do I have to go through all of the same steps I went through to get it working with the first application?
Thanks
-sean

Ok, my bad.
After shutting down my web browser and reopening it, the SSO integration now works for both the old and new applications. Not sure what was cached, but it was bypassing the sso check.

Problem with logon in to Application Express

I have successfully installed oracle Application Express
When I logged in to Oracle Application Express Administration Services for the first time he asked me to change password.
After I changed the password I can't log in to the application any more with the new password .
When I enter the user name and the new password no action happen,
Although when I enter any wrong password, a message with Invalid Login Credentials appear
User Name: admin
Old password: password
New password: oracle
Thanx

Hi Scott
Same results in both IE and FF?
I have only IE
Do you have cookies enabled in the browser?
Yes cookies are enabled in the browser
Does the login page have only two text fields , username and password?
Yes
When you say "no action happen" does that mean you just see the login page all the time or do you see a blank page or something else?
Yes I just see the login page all the time
Thanx

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.

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!

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.

where
v.employee_id=p.employee_id
and p.patient_id=pa.patient_id
The SQL works fine and gives me lovely results in my report. However, I don't know how to link the SQL to my actual Appointment table. Deleting, updating or creating new appointments through this view is impossible because I get the following error Unexpected error, unable to find item name at application or page level.
I understand how to make a form on the Appointment table but given how that table contains lots of primary keys (numbers) it's not preferable for the user to have to deal with that.
Can I have some help with linking the two and making it functional?
Thanks in advance.

Any table can have only ONE Primary Key.

making it functional?Since you have told us what functionality is desired or expected,
I don't know what might be a solution.
