Open Apex page from a non-apex application

Hello,
I'm calling an Apex page from another (non Apex) application. The way it works is that you click on a map and a browser window is opened with a Apex data entry form. This way you can edit information about the object you clicked on in the map.
I got this working but what I'm trying to avoid is that you have to enter your logon credentials every time. I can't provide a session ID in the URL from the other application.
Is this possible at all?
Rene

Hi Scott,
I tried following your example here:
http://apex.oracle.com/pls/otn/f?p=9947:1
Page 1 and 2 are normal, but rather empty, pages. Page 3 is the public page with the redirect proces.
First login (demo/demo_12) and notice the session ID.
Then try to redirect to page 2 through page 3
http://apex.oracle.com/pls/otn/f?p=9947:3::2
You get the login page again with a new Session ID.
Once you logon you get redirected to page 2 and have joined the previous session.
Is this the expected behaviour of your example? I was trying to get rid of the login screen the second time. Maybe I'm doing something wrong?
thanks Rene

Calling Apex page from Oracle Forms

Hi,
I haven't managed to find a similar thread anywhere.
I would like to call an apex page from a form. The page is in an app that requires authetication.
I can able to open the page by using web.show_document but that only takes me to the login page.
How can I overpass the authentication by passing somehow the username and password?
Is there any similar or easier way to do what I am after?
Many thanks

Hi,
You could try the BRANCH_TO_PAGE_ACCEPT URL functionality. There are a few threads on this subject - for example: Re: authentication with credentials from another domain? I haven't used this myself, but if you do a search on the forum for this, you may find other threads that can help.

Cannot access APEX pages from other IP in the same network

Hi,
I installed APEX 3.0 on Oracle XE (Windows OS). The PC I installed has a static IP (no DHCP and DHCP servie is stopped).
I started the HTTP server and I am able to access the XE database home page and the APEX developer page and admin page. This PC has a static IP too.
When I tried to access the APEX page from another PC. It is not loading the page.
When tried using Internet Explorer it says "Internet Explorer Cannot display the page"
Please let me know whether I missed any configurations to the access the page from another IP.
Thanks.

Hi,
Most likly the cause is windows firewall. Try the following:
1 - from Control panel select windows firewall
2 - click on the exception tab
3 - Click Add port
4 - for name enter yhe name you want (APEX)
5 - For port number enter APEX prot number
Hope that will solve your problem

Pages downloaded, but I still can't open iCloud pages from iPad. Says that I need a new version of Pages on my Mac

For my Mac Pro, after I downloaded the new Mavericks OS, I downloaded the new pages. However, I still can't open iCloud pages from iPad. Says that I need a new version of Pages on my Mac.
Please help.

It appears that you are launching the old version, probably using an icon in your Dock. That icon is an alias & is not updated. You will need to go to your Applications folder & find the new Pages 5 icon & double-click it. Once it is launched, you can right-click on the icon & choose Options > keep in Dock from the contextual menu.

Re: [iPlanet-JATO] from a non jato application to jato application

Without getting into the details, the session id is passed around in a
cookie, but once you leave your JATO app "sandbox", you no longer have
access to the same session. This is not a JATO limitation, but a J2EE
spec constraint. The war file creates a Servlet Context. Other servlet
contexts have separate session sandboxes. If you deployed all your apps
within the same war file, your sessions would be mutually accessible.
or
You could do something like use a Session EJB and pass its reference
between apps I suppose.
Also, see JATO Tip #0011 for forwarding to a "non-JATO" target.
Hopefully, my reply will open up a conversation for more solutions,
ideas, if what I have proposed is insufficient.

Open all pages from last session

Occasionally, safari will die. When I restart safari:
is there a function to open all pages from last session?
does firefox have this function? I thought I saw it within firefox, but I can't find it now. If this function is in firefox, where is it?

In Safari... History > Open all pages from last session
Firefox should do it automatically.

TS3276 i am unable to open web pages from email links on my ipad

I am unable to open web pages from email links on my ipad

A few more details might help, if nobody else recognizes this.
What happens when you try to open the links?
Can you post an example of a link that doesn't work?
Is there any particular source for the mail with the (bad) links, or is mail from all sources failing?
If you happen to know it, what's the format of the mail message? (Maybe the message is an image?)
Do the embedded links work as expected from an OS X system running Mail.app, or some system and some other other mail client?
To view the link in iOS: if you press on and hold your finger on an embedded link in most contexts, iOS will show a pop-up with the link contents, and will offer to copy it. You can use that to acquire and post the link. If pressing and holding on the link doesn't offer the pop-up, the format of the link itself may not be valid, or it might not really be a link.

Retrieve data from a non-peoplesoft application using HTTP Get

I need to retrieve data from a non-peoplesoft application. They want us to submit a HTTP GET request to their URL with a series of parameters. I am thinking about using HTTP Targert connector to accomplish this. Does anyone have sample peoplecode?
Currently we are on 8.51.10 Tools...
If there is any better way .. please let me know ..

I have used HTTP Get to get XML file from a government sanction list by hitting URL http://www.treasury.gov/ofac/downloads/sdn.xml
There is a delivered PS program that does that for vendor sanctions. I had to get the online setup correctly by creating a new custom Node with HTTP Target Connector. The program name is BSP_IMPORT. The below code is responsible for the calling the node and retrieving the data. Play around with the code below see if you can get it to meet your needs.
BSP_IMPORT_AET.BANKNODE.Value is just the custom external code that I created.
PMT_FLAT_FILE_INBOUND message is just a none rowset based message to use the web service call.
Local TR:FileUtilities:FTP &oFTPUtil = create TR:FileUtilities:FTP();
+/* HTTP */+
+/*******************************************************************************/+
Local Message &msgHTTP;
Local Message &msgResult;
+&msgHTTP = CreateMessage(Message.PMT_FLAT_FILE_INBOUND);+
+&oFTPUtil.PopulateFTPGetIBInfo(&msgHTTP, BSP_IMPORT_AET.BANKNODE.Value);+
+&msgResult = %IntBroker.ConnectorRequest(&msgHTTP);+

Invoking SOLMAN WS from a NON-SAP application

Hello All,
Has any one accessed the SAP SolMan web services from a non-sap application ? For my project, I need to talk to solman through its exposed operations as defined in the WSDL file
http://mycompany.com:8003/sap/bc/srt/rfc/sap/ict_service_desk_api?wsdl
When I invoke this WS through eclipse, after taking in the UID & PWD, it is returning appropriate values for:
RequestSystemGuid
RequestGuid
Getpossiblevalues
It fails for all other operations. For e.g. ListUnclosedIncidents returns and error called :
ErrorCode (unsignedByte): 13
Similary for the operation 'ReadCompleteIncident'
What is it that needs to be done to surmount this error ? Any pointers, suggestions ?
Thanks
Karthik

Hi, did you accomplish to solve your problem using the list unclosed incidents operation?

Accessing an APEX page, from an external application, passing a parameter

Hi,
We are tring to allow users access to a suite of reports we have developed within an APEX application, from an external source. Ideally we want to embed a URL that when activated, would access the APEX page, but would populate the APP_USER so the full functionality of the report can be fully utilised (region access etc). I have tried serveral options, such as:-
f?p=193:4.::NO:193::APP_USER:MR036668
i.e App no 193, page 4 and trying to populate APP_USER with "MR036668" but get the folowing error:-
Error ERR-1002 Unable to find item ID for item "APP_USER" in application "193".
Can anyone help?
Thanks
Mark

Hi ,
Please try this
Please open your application in APEX then go to shared component then create application item which is named as global item referenced by all the pages
F193_USERNAME
f?p=193:4:1903218616592015::::F193_USERNAME:Markieb1888
otherwise
you can pass LIKE THIS
f?p=181:1:1914838104983187::NO::P111_USERNAME,P111_PASSWORD:Matt,Baker
please let me give some more details to help you.
thanks

How do you fire a button click event on apex page from fancybox iframe that was created by page

I am trying to fire off the button click event from fancybox iframe. The apex page has a button that launches a fancybox iframe which is loaded with an APEX form. On close of that fancy box, I am trying to fire a click event on the parent page which will refresh a div with html that is created with plsql. The button on the page works as expected when clicked from the page. It will show a debug alert message to prove it was called and then load the div with the correct data. I am unable to fire off this button click from the fancybox iframe when it closes.
A couple of points:
I using Plug-in: Execute PL/SQL Code and Return Content ("PLUGIN_MULEDEV.SERVER_REGION_REFRESH") to place the create fancybox statement. It is used to populate a div using plsql.
The name of the button on the main page is P2020_REFRESH_SECTION_BUILDER_BTN.
The click dynamic action on the button is calling the plugin to replace the html in the div.
The data in the form in the fancybox is being saved to the database. On close of the fancybox box I want to refresh the div so the new record is included in the div html.
Can anyone help. Here is the fancybox code:
function customProcessOnReadyState4(){
    for (var i=0;i<11;i++){
      $( "#tabs"+i ).tabs();
      $("#createNewExerciseLink"+i).fancybox({
          ''width''         : ''60%'',
          ''height''        : ''70%'',
          ''autoScale''     : true,
          ''transitionIn'' : 200,
          ''transitionOut'' : 200,
          ''type''          : ''iframe'',
          ''onClosed''         : function() {
                                     window.parent.$(''#P2020_REFRESH_SECTION_BUILDER_BTN'').click();
Here are the dynamic actions assigned to the button:
5 - Execute JavaScript Code
alert("Starting refresh");
10 - Execute PL/SQL Code and Return Content [Plug-in]
begin
SCTUI.create_sct_tabs2(:P2020_CREATE_SECTION_LOV, '1');
end;

user setActionListener...
<af:setActionListener from="#{bindings.XXX.inputValue" to="#{backingbean.variable}"
              <af:inputText value="#{bindings.Email.inputValue}"
                            label="#{bindings.Email.hints.label}"
                            binding="#{backingBeanScope.backing_ShuttlePage.it2}"
                            id="it2">

Hi all.
We have installed oracle apex 4.2 in database have Oracle apps and configured the oracle http server in different machine.
Then we have followed the integration process suggested from oracle below.

While configuring neither APPS nor APEX showing error, but while launching APEX pages (clicking Menues created in Oracle APPS) its showing error “An error occurred when trying to perform the specified action”.
Really the APEX, EBS integration has succeeded following the steps mentioned in the above provided links ??????
Please suggest

Hi,
I think the easiest way to do this is to create a form function that launches the workbook. Then call the form function from the button on the screen. This will work in a similar way to calling the workbook from a menu item. This will not work if you want to pass parameters contained in the form to the Discoverer workbook.

A beginner question: How can I call an APEX page from outside

I want to mix APEX functionality and other enterprise tools.
Thus I wish to call by an URL an APEX page by transmitting the mandatory page argument and optionnal argument like an order number. I just couldn't found any information in the documentation about own argument in an URL
Any idea?
Frederic

Safari won't open new pages from Google links

I'm a bit confused - I'm using Safari on my iMac and MacBook, both with OS 10.4.10, and want to open google links in new pages. This works fine on the MacBook, but not the iMac, even though I've checked the box "Open links from applications in a new window".
Do you think I need to reset Safari in some way?
Many thanks
Chris

...want to open google links in new pages. This works fine on the MacBook, but not the iMac, even though I've checked the box "Open links from applications in a new window".
That preference setting refers to opening links from other applications in a new window. For example, if you click on a link in a Word file displayed by Microsoft Word, or in an email displayed in the program Mail, the link will open in a new window in Safari.
To see the shortcuts for opening a link from a web page (e.g. Google) in a new window, go to Safari > Preferences, click on the Tabs section, and read the Command-key shortcuts listed at the bottom of the window. Exactly what those shortcuts are depends on your settings in the checkboxes above. (To see the difference, change some of the settings in the checkboxes and watch the shortcuts below change.)
I'm not sure what the difference is between the settings on your two Macs. I'd go over the preference settings to get an idea of why they're behaving differently.
