New World Map for Apex services: Consultants, Developers, Hosting Services

As Matt suggested in this recent thread: " ApEx / HTML DB - are there actually any developers in the Marketplace (UK) " ApEx / HTML DB - are there actually any developers in the Marketplace (UK)
we might need an overview of available consultants, developers, hosting providers, available products and additional services.
Thus I have started a new group on Frappr: http://www.frappr.com/oracleapplicationexpressservices
Since each "service provider" (can also be a person) may fit into several of the described categories, I have chosen to provide only one category (marker).
We can use the shoutouts to make clear which service will be provided.
Please put yourself on the map!
Cheers,
~Dietmar.

Maybe new users of APEX would like to join the map of APEX users?

Happy New Year 2007!

Market opportunities for Apex services ...

As some of you may have already noticed, I do like Apex a lot and think this is an excellent tool to produce high quality web applications - fast.
But I am getting a bit frustrated about the market opportunities for Application Express, especially when I think about myself as a consultant.
I get the impression that is is quite difficult to be hired as a consultant for Apex. It is mainly used for small internal systems, many of them for administrative purposes. It is for free (or at least included in the Oracle license). Mainly internal staff is working on it, there aren't that many (visible) projects out there.
When it comes to developing web applications, it is either J2EE or .Net, especially with larger customers. And a bit of PHP/Python. Period.
What do you think customers would be willing to pay good money for? Apex is for free, why spend lots of money for external consultants/developers?
I was working previously with Oracle Internet Application Server, focusing on Oracle Portal. It has sooo many bugs and shortcomings. Migrations to the newest release are really a pain. But since the customer spent a lot of money on the product, they are willing to spend a lot of money for people to make it work. This is crazy but this is the way it is.
My bottom line so far is to (1) bid for fixed priced projects and (2) build applications based on Apex / Oracle XE for sale.
What is your opinion?
What services, prebuilt applications, perhaps themes could be of value that somebody would be willing to pay money for it?
Thanks,
~Dietmar.

Here's my take it...
I decided to start providing commercial hosting for ApEx applications a while back when I couldn't find anyone offering the sort of service I wanted. The market for ApEx hosting is quite small (when compared to the usual PHP/MySQL type of hosting companies), but there are a few of us around (there's a list on the Wiki for anyone interested - http://wiki.shellprompt.net/bin/view/Apex/HostingExamples).
I've also recently become more involved in ApEx Training and Consultancy types of roles, again it's a very small market and most people still seem to be at the "I'm evaluating this technology and I'd like to talk to someone about it" sort of stage. As I mentioned in another thread, almost everyone who I've shown ApEx to is impressed (with the product, not me necessarily ;) but you still face the age old problem of overcoming resistance to using it.
I've lost count of the number of sites I've seen with "Amazon Envy', by which I mean that they have a (relatively simple) project to do, but they've gone the whole "We need a dozen application servers and Java Beans everywhere", when a simple ApEx application could have been done in a fraction of the time and a fraction of the cost.
I see two distinct markets where ApEx development is concerned -
1) Big developments, where the client already uses (or wishes to use) Oracle
2) Small 'stealth' developments, where the client really doesn't care what language/database is used. So you get to use ApEx almost transparently.
I've found that being able to demonstrate the usefulness of ApEx in situation 2 can lead to promoting ApEx for situation 1. For example, using the familiar demonstration of just how quickly and easily you can migrate from an Excel spreadsheet to an ApEx application can then open some doors by 'extending' the application.
I think the key thing is that there's two sides to the promotion of Apex
1) The promotion of ApEx itself
2) The promotion of Applications *written* in ApEx, where the enduser may actually have no idea that ApEx was used. Once there are more applications out there, it should lead to more interest in the tool.
Also I think there definitely is a market for 'shrink-wrapped' ApEx applications, there's no reason why someone couldn't write a Payroll app for example in ApEx (if they haven't already).
I personally would get involved in helping with a shrink-wrapped product written in ApEx, heck I'd even stump up the hosting for free.

Any news on MAP for Windows 10?

I am just wondering if there is any news on MAP support for Windows 10. Would be a nice tool to check enviroment for Win 10 Compatibility.

I have no idea but it will be interesting.
File sizes steadily get bigger as more detail is added. It would be great to have them schedule this for certain dates, but I imagine this business is a bit unpredictable as to exactly when they finish.
The poor dears are probably overworked (not to mention the ones back in the office)

Exception mapping for Web Services

Hi,
I'm exposing a method of an EJB as a web service (EJB 2.0, JBoss 3.2.1 and JBoss.NET, i.e. Axis) but I have a problem with exceptions. My method can throw an Exception which is quite complex (it can contains a Collection of error objects) and Axis can't automatically produce a correct WSDL neither it can serialize all the exception's content. I tried writing my own Axis serializer for the exception but it didn't work...
I'd like to have a .NET client catching the Exception.
Does anybody know how can I map complex exceptions for a J2EE Web Service? Or where can I find an example of interoperability with the mapping of complex exceptions?
Thanks,
Andrea

Hi Holger,
I will not translate the coding into VB. So if you want to do this it is OK with me.
An idea would be after some testing by the community to provide the functionality as a DLL. This way it could also easily be added to a VB project.
However I assume that some developers prefer to integrate the coding themselves so that they might add additional customer specific functionlity.
For example not to raise an exception if a specific error is in the return parameter because they want to ignore it.
Best regards,
Andre

Road map for HRMS consultant for new oracle guy, please help

road map for Oracle HRMS consultant for new oracle guy, please help

Hi,
If you go through the Oracle sites you will come to know that HRMS Suite has various modules like Core HR, SSHR, Performance Management, Learning Management, iRecruitment, Compensation workbench, Absence Management, Payroll, Advanced Benefits etc.
You will have to start with understanding the Core HR concepts which is the base of the entire HRMS suite where you define the core structures like Organizations, Job, Position, Grade, Costing, Hierarchies, Employee data etc and which forms the base of the other modules.
Post you are done with Core HR you can start understanding the Self Service functionality and Approval Management Engine.
If you are clear with these two modules, then you can pick any other module as per your Job requirement demands.
You can do this all if you have an instance to access where you can do hands-on. In absence of which learning will be not be easy. On apps2fusion site which I have already mentioned you can view the training calendar and check for any relevant courses if you want to under go training as the quality of training is very good.
Training is not a mandate and you can learn it without training also if you have the dedication and time by understand each and every action which you are performing in application and the impact of it.
Hope it helps.
Thanks,
Sanjay

Adding new map in apex 4.0

Hello
I've just installed new apex and it looks nice
But as I've found the map of Poland is way out of date (administration plan has changed in 1999 but guys from AnyMap just missed that ;D )
I've downloaded new map in .shp format and converted it to .amap format (needed for AnyMap) then i've placed it in map /i/ folder
The problem is that it doesn't work :/
I can ink to this map but apex is shouting on me with errors :/
Is there anyone who done this and have succeed ?
THX for any response
Best regards
piotr

Hi Piotr,
Thank you for bringing this issue with the Poland map to our attention. I've logged bug 9880137 to track this issue, and will hopefully have a revised AnyChart poland.amap file for a future release. In the meantime, I'm happy you were able to work around the issue yourself by obtaining an alternative map to use. For anyone else wishing to download an alternative map of Poland, you may want to check out this site offering free Shapefiles: http://downloads.cloudmade.com/europe/poland. The Shapefiles can be converted to .amap format using AnyChart's Map Converter: http://www.anychart.com/products/anymap/converter/. I would recommend reviewing the AnyChart Map Converter Usage Tutorial - http://www.anychart.com/products/anymap/converter/help/tutorial.html - to assist with the conversion process.

Is there an App for the iPad that will show my GPS position on a world map, even if I'm at sea?

GPS will show your position anywhere if your device has unobstructed view of the GPS satellites. The issue is that you must find a maps/charts that include all areas of the sea.
There is no mobile data connection required to use GPS on land or sea. Once again your issue is the availability of downloadable maps/charts for the areas you will be traveling.
Sorry, but you can't install an app like NAVIGON on an iPad without 3G cellular data connection:
copied from NAVIGON app:
...can be installed on any iPhone3GS, iPhone4, iPhone4S, iPhone5 or iPad device (the navigation function is only available on the iPad WiFi+3G)
Can I navigate with my mobile phone?
Answer:In principle yes. For mobile phones there are both Onboardnavigation solutions and Offboardnavigation solutions.
The following requirements must be fulfilled:
•     The software must support the mobile phone. NAVIGON software
      always comes with a compatibility list. The software is guaranteed
      to work only for the mobile phones on this list.
•     The mobile phone must have a GPS receiver. Many new mobile
       phones come with a built-in GPS receiver. Otherwise you can use
       an external GPS receiver which is connected to the mobile phone
       by cable or Bluetooth.
•     It should be noted that an offboard solution incurs costs for using
      the mobile phone network to communicate with the provider's server.

Can you please help me. I purchased the new Apple I 4s phone from AT&T. I bought it out right. NO CONTRACT!! I paid almost $1000.00 for it. I then, had it enrolled it in my company's ATT service plan. They paid the bill for my service. Since, I have left the company. I have retained, and assumed financial responsibility for the phone, and the phone number with AT&T. The same day I assumed ifinancial responsibility, I had the phone number ported to a new service provider. ( Straight Talk ) After doing so, my phone worked fine. (as far as cellular service) NO DATA Service !!!! I have been on the phone with AT&T, Straight Talk, and Apple, FOR HOURS over TWO days!!! Trying to get this problem resolved. All I need to do, is change my APN settings (access point name ) settings. Its my phone!!! Why does any body have this APN menu locked from me??? I've been on the phone for two days between, AT&T, Straight Talk, and Apple products technical support teams. Everybody points the finger at the next guy!! What can I do to get the phone, that I paid for, work for more than just a phone, and a paper weigh?
PLEASE HELP ME!!!!!

Wow... you seriously over paid for an iPhone.
That probably explains why you have/had no clue you were purchasing a locked device and think it's an Apple problem to get it unlocked.

-- Using Text Data Processing Blueprints: this 6-minute demo explains how to get up and running with TDP quickly using a series of jobs contained in a blueprint. A blueprint is a sample end-to-end solution available on SAP Community Network.
-- Creating an Extraction Dictionary: this 13-minute demo explains how to create an Extraction Dictionary, which can be used to customize a TDP Entity Extraction transform to improve results.

Thanks for sharing your use case. I have a few questions if you don't mind:
1) What file formats are typically found within these compressed containers? For example, html, xml, txt, pdf, MS Office, etc.
2) Do these compressed containers ever have other embedded compressed containers within them? For example, a zip file containing other zip files within it.
3) If the intention is to process document files, do any of the document files have other document formats embedded/nested within them? For example, a MS Word document with a spreadsheet embedded within it.

How do I get a new value for the service name field and update it in Connection Properties?

I am running Windows Vista. I just upgraded to Firefox 4. When I try to log on to the internet, it tells me the proxy server is refusing connections. A diagnostic reported Error 815 and said the remote server is not responding because there is an invalid value for the "Service Name" field. It said to get a new value and update it in Connection Properties. How do I do this?

When you create a new film script, the first page you see is a title page.
The page after this title page is the one where you generally type in your scenes.
It looks like you are facing some issue and not able to delete any text.
Can you please send me this script so that I can have a better look at your issue?
You can save this script to disk by using option 'File -> Save to disk'. This will create a '.stdoc' file on your system.
Just mail this '.stdoc' file to me at 'roverma <at> adobe <dot> com'
