Oracle and http server to install apex

Dears,
My old configuration was a solarisx86 (installation : 10202_database_solx86 ,10202_companion_solx86).
I would like to install a new version of apex on a node of a cluster HP UX.
Could someone tell me what and where can i find an oracle 10 compatible apex and and http server for this?
thanks in advance.
Celio

[10g Release 2 downloads on OTN|http://www.oracle.com/technology/software/products/database/index.html]. (Can't be more specific than this because you haven't identified your flavour of HP-UX.) Oracle HTTP Server is on the Companion CD.

Oracle database (10.2.0.4) and HTTP server / HTML DB conflict

Hi there,
I installed a fresh 10.2.0.1 (patched with 10.2.0.4) oracle database on Oracle Entreprise linux 5.7, and HTTP server + HTML DB products from the companion CD. Both are located in different home directory:
ODB: $ORACLE_BASE/product/10.2.0/db_1
APEX: $ORACLE_BASE/product/10.2.0/apex
I just discovered that logs files ($APEX/opmn/logs/) have filled up my entire disk this week end. After some googling / digging, I've read that there is a conflict between the ONS services that run for both products on the same port. Opening the configuration files of both products:
+$ODB/opnm/conf/ons.config+
+$APEX/opnm/conf/opnm.xml+ (btw, ons.conf is empty)
I indeed saw that they both use port 6113 as local port and 6200 as remote port. The workaround I've found in variuos places is to either change the port number, or unsuscribe ONS for the database listener (and sometimes both).
Question 1: what is the best solution ? what are the consequences for the database listener in case of unsuscribtion ?
I also saw that opnm.xml in APEX configuration file is making use of the $ORACLE_HOME environment variable, which I define in my /etc/profile as $ORACLE_BASE/product/10.2.0/db_1. So I guess the opnm of APEX is looking at the wrong place... Yet if I change ORACLE_HOME in my /etc/profile, I won't be able to run dbstart upon stgartup, as it is run using ORACLE_HOME in a init.d script...
Question 2: Can someone clarify things up about the exact relationship between oracle database and HTTP server ? How should I deal with ORACLE_HOME environment variable, which one use it and when... ?
Note that I'm completely new to Oracle (and hence APEX).
Thanks in advance!

There should be no conflicts - except for configuration ones.
Oracle is multi home capable. Thus multiple Oracle s/w products installed into different homes and these products running side by side.
The conflict is system resources - like a TCP port. That port cannot be shared by multiple processes. So you need to make sure that each s/w component that needs a TCP listener end-point, has a unique port number allocated for it to use.
As mentioned, the Oracle Apache server is an Oracle client with respect to Oracle client-server architecture. It simply needs a client OCI driver to connect to the Oracle database instance. So whether you run Oracle Apache on the same server as the database instance, or on another server all together - this makes no difference. The Oracle Apache s/w will be using its home for running. It has no need for anything from the database instance's home directory. Thus there are no conflicts - as long as you correctly keep them separated and not set the wrong home for the wrong component or include the wrong path (to another home's executables).
OK, so to summarize a bit:
- I should just be carefull when running startup script which will launch all services upon startup, i.e. changing the value of ORACLE_HOME before running each product startup script (dbstart => ORACLE_HOME = (..)/10.2.0/db_1, opmnctl => ORACLE_HOME = (..)/apex). I'm still quite worried because ORACLE_HOME is heavily used in opmn.xml but anyways.
- That's basically it: when each product's services are running, they do not use ORACLE_HOME (and such) anymore, hence no conflict from this point of view.
Also do not attempt to use IPC connectivity between the mod_plsql Apache module and the database instance. Does not make sense ito performance. Shared server should be considered and localhost TCP connectivity can be used.Well as I don't really know IPC yet, so hopefully I won't get into troubles. Just to be clear about that, i've this in my listener.ora:
SID_LIST_LISTENER =
(SID_LIST =
(SID_DESC =
(SID_NAME = PLSExtProc)
(ORACLE_HOME = /opt/oracle/app/oracle/product/10.2.0/db_1)
(PROGRAM = extproc)
LISTENER =
(DESCRIPTION_LIST =
(DESCRIPTION =
(ADDRESS = (PROTOCOL = IPC)(KEY = EXTPROC1))
(ADDRESS = (PROTOCOL = TCP)(HOST = apex.nwk)(PORT = 1521))
Does that mean that ICP will be used somehow ?
Thanks again from your help.

APEX Oracle 11g HTTP Server - Cannot get SSL working

I have installed APEX on Oracle 11g with the Oracle HTTP Server on MS Windows server.
Data base up and running, APEX up an running.
All works as expected on port 7777
When I try 4443 I get error message re self signed certificate by Oracle, but if I click through error message I get an https connection.
I want to replace default cert with a locally signed cert, and get SSL working on 4443, then switch to port 443.
I have used the Oracle Wallet manager, generated a CSR, had this signed by my corproate CA, and installed the corporate CA cert and the newly signed server cert into the wallet (with Auto Login Set) and saved it in:
D:\orahttp\Oracle_WT1\instances\apex\config\OHS\ohs1\keystores\infosec2wallet
This creates two files: ewallet.p12 and cwallet.sso
I then manually add the group/users "SYSTEM" and "Administrators" to these two files to match the security tab on the default wallet.
I T then go to the ssl.conf file located at:
D:\orahttp\Oracle_WT\instances\apex\config\OHS\ohs1\ssl.conf
and changed the entry:
#SSLWallet "${ORACLE_INSTANCE}/config/${COMPONENT_TYPE}/${COMPONENT_NAME}/keystores/default"
SSLWallet "${ORACLE_INSTANCE}/config/${COMPONENT_TYPE}/${COMPONENT_NAME}/keystores/infosec2wallet"
I then stop and start the Oracle HTTP Server - ohs1 from the start menu.
Then I try to connect from my desk top machine using the following URL:
https://us-pghinfosec2.ariba.com:4443/pls/apex/f?p=101:1:
I get the clasic MS IE Message:
==========
Internet Explorer cannot display the webpage
Most likely causes:
You are not connected to the Internet.
The website is encountering problems.
There might be a typing error in the address.
What you can try:
Diagnose Connection Problems
More information
This problem can be caused by a variety of issues, including:
Internet connectivity has been lost.
The website is temporarily unavailable.
The Domain Name Server (DNS) is not reachable.
The Domain Name Server (DNS) does not have a listing for the website's domain.
If this is an HTTPS (secure) address, click Tools, click Internet Options, click Advanced, and check to be sure the SSL and TLS protocols are enabled under the security section.
For offline users
You can still view subscribed feeds and some recently viewed webpages.
To view subscribed feeds
Click the Favorites Center button , click Feeds, and then click the feed you want to view.
To view recently visited webpages (might not work on all pages)
Click Tools , and then click Work Offline.
Click the Favorites Center button , click History, and then click the page you want to view.
==========
I am at a loss as to what to do. It acts like Oracle HTTP can not open my wallet.
I suspect it needs the password to the wallet but I cannot find any place to specify the password, and Auto Login should have addressed that issue.
Any insights welcome.
Thanks - Elton Hay

Hello Lakshmi,

I got your point but in our case HTTP Server and Oracle Database (APEX) running on different machines.
Oracle HTTP Server running on a Windows 2003 server and Oracle Database running on Sun Solaris machine.
So do i need to change Oracle 10g HTTP Server? do i need to install Oracle 11g HTTP SErver?
Please let me know if my question is not clear.

Oracle HTTP server with multiples apex instances

It is possible to have an Oracle HTTP server installed in a diferente machine,
and apex Installed on databases there are in diferent machines?
Or it would be necessary to install one HTTP server for each APEX instance?
For instance:
Machine 3
___________DATABASE A
Machine 1 Machine 2 /
WEB BROWSER -----------> HTTP SERVER /
\ Machine 4
\___________DATABASE B

Yes, you can define multiple DADs - pointing to different machines/APEX instances - in one OHS instance.
See http://docs.oracle.com/cd/E21764_01/web.1111/e10144/under_mods.htm#i1055269 (for instance, just Google)

Error Message when installing Companion CD for HTMLDB 1.6 and HTTP Server

Hi. First time forum user so bear with me.
I'm not sure if this is the correct forum for this but the assistance of anyone who may be able to shed some light on the problem whould be greatly appreciated. I am having a problem when attempting to install the Companion CD for HTMLDB 1.6 and HTTP Server, details given below:
The following Oracle components have been successfully installed
     Oracle 10gR2 Database.
     Oracle 10gR2 Database patch 10.2.03.
     Critical patch up date (security).
The following Oracle component failed to install.
     Companion CD for HTMLDB 1.6 and HTTP server
Scenario leading up to failure
     Extracted companion CD installation files to D:\oracle\utilities\Oracle_10_2_0_Companion
     Executed D:\oracle\utilities\Oracle_10_2_0_Companion\companion\setup.exe.
The following error message is displayed in a "JAVA VIRTUAL MACHINE LAUNCHER" dialog box
     "Could not find the main event class. Program will exit."
I have been attmepting to resolve this problem for over a week and have already checked the following with no resolution to the problem:
Cause. This issue may have to do with two issues (and may occur more on Windows):-
1. Within the ORACLE_HOME directory full pathname there is a space.
2. The directory from where the software / patch is being installed has a space within the directory full
pathname (where the file for the installation by default is named products.jar or products.xml).
Solution. To implement the solution, please execute the following steps:-
1. Rename the full pathname directory NOT to contain a space.
2. Launch again the OUI... and verify if the problem occurs.
Any further guidance would be greatly appreciated.

Can you install using OUI from the RDBMS installation? IIRC, there is a problem using OUI on companion to install companion items.

Installed Forms 11g ok but do I need another HTTP Server to run APEX?

Friends,
I have posted this Installed Forms 11g ok but do I need another HTTP Server to run APEX? over in the Forms forum. I'm not sure if it's best suited to here?
I'm not chasing for an answer, just trying to find the correct place for my question.
Thanks
Ian

The answer from a software licensing perspective depends on the licening model you are on. If Unified Workspace Licensing (UWL), then you already have license entitlement to CUP under the Business Edition of that licence program. If you are on a DLU or UCL-based license program, CUP is seperately licensed.
You will need s seperate MCS server.
Softphones again depend on your license schema. If UWL, each user is entitled to one softphone. DLU and UCL each charge for softphone usage seperately.

Using a Single HTTP Server for Multiple APEX Instances

Our company's DBA Manager has asked if it would be possible to externalize the HTTP server portion of APEX from the DB Servers. In other words, he would strongly prefer that the DB Servers *only* run Oracle Database software.
We know that we can install the HTTP server on another box but, in thinking about how to do this, we were wondering if it is really necessary to create a separate HTTP server installation for each APEX instance. What we'd really like to do is have one HTTP server for all our our Dev boxes and several (but, not one to one) for each of our upper environments; staging, qa, prod, etc.
Right now, each instance have a single dads.conf file on each DB box. So, if we we're to attempt to consolidate them, we'd need some way to embed multiple dads files and to associate each instance with the correct one.
Has anyone ever done this or (preferably) have some examples?
Thanks,
-Joe

Joe,
I don´t know a specific reference for it, I remembered it because when I was looking the documentation on the site, I saw the reference "Support for multiple database connections" in the URL: APEX Listener New Features 2.0</title><meta name="Title" content="APEX Listener New Features 2.0…
I´ve tried to use APEX listener some time ago, but in a earlier version together with glassfish. So, since for me was only one database, I created the necessary amount of DAD´s on my database, each one for a specific port.
Check the link and you´ll see the same information I saw.
Thanks.

Cannot find 11gR2 HTTP Server to install

I've recently upgraded a database from 10gR2 to 11gR2, and everything is working fine. However, a new project has come up that requires APEX, and I can't find any HTTP server in my ORACLE_HOME. I'd be happy enough to install it, but I can't locate the installation media to download. I've downloaded database_1of2, database_2of2, gateways, grid, client, and examples from the [OTN 11gR2 download page|http://www.oracle.com/technology/software/products/database/oracle11g/112010_linx8664soft.html], but I don't find any "install HTTP server" options in the installers. Other posts refer to the Companion disk on 11gR1 and 10g, but I've not found a corresponding companion disk download for 11gR2.
I skipped whatever HTTP server option I may have been presented with when I installed 10gR2, so there has never been an HTTP server on this machine.
I'm confident that I can install it, if only I could find it. I'd be most appreciative if somebody can point me in the right direction.
Thanks -
Wally

SumeiIt is no longer included in the database download.
If you really want the HTTP server, you need to download that from the Oracle Fusion Middleware downloads. http://www.oracle.com/technology/software/products/middleware/htdocs/fmw_11_download.html and look for Web Tier Utilities (11.1.1.2.0)

How to create database link between oracle and SQL Server

Hello Everyone,
Here i have Oracle Database 9i and SQL Server 2005 databases.
I have some tables in sql server db and i want to access from Oracle.
How to create a database link between these two servers
Thanks,

Thanks for Everyone,
I was struggle with this almost 10 days....
I created Database link from Oracle to SQL Server
Now it is fine.........
Here i am giving my servers configuration and proceedure how i created the db link...@
Using Generic Connectivity (HSODBC) we can create db link between Oracle and SQL server.
Machine (1)
DB Version : Oracle 9.2.0.7.0
Operating System : HP-UX Itanuim 64 11.23
IP : 192.168.0.31
Host : abcdbt
Machine (2)
Version : SQL Server 2005
Operating System : Windows server 2003 x86
IP : 192.168.0.175
Host : SQLDEV1
User/PW : sa/abc@123! (Connect to database)
Database : SQLTEST (exsisting)
Table : T (“ T “ is the table existing in SQLTEST database with 10 rows)
Prerequisites in Machine (2):
a)     Oracle 10g software
b)     User account to access SQL Server database (sa/abc@123!)
c)     Existing SQL Server Database (SQLTEST)
d) Tables (testing purpose) (T)
Steps:
1)     Install Oracle 10.2.0.1 (Only SW,No need of database) *(Machine 2)*
2)     Create a DSN where your windows Oracle 10g SW resides *(Machine 2)*
Control panel >> Administrative Tools >> Data Source (ODBC) >> System DSN ADD
You can follow this link also.....
http://www.databasejournal.com/features/oracle/article.php/3442661/Making-a-Connection-from-Oracle-to-SQL-Server.htm
I created DSN as
DSN name : SQLTEST
User : SA/abc@123! (Existing user account)
Host : 192.168.0.175 (machine 2)
Already I have 1 database in SQL Server with the name SQLTEST
You can create DSN with different name also (not same as db name also)
3)     Create a hsodbc init file in $ORACLE_HOME\hs\admin *(Machine 2)*
Create init<DSN NAME> file
Ex: initSQLTEST
Copy inithsodbc to initSQLTEST
And edit
initSQLTEST file
HS_FDS_CONNECT_INFO = SQLTEST    <DSN NAME>*
HS_FDS_TRACE_LEVEL = OFF*
save the file....@

Data sync between oracle and sql server

Greetings Everyone,
Your expert views are highly appreciable regarding the following.
We at work are evaluation different solutions to achieve data synchronization between oracle and sql server data bases. Data sync i mentioned here is for live applications. We are runnign oracle EBS 11i with custom applications and intending to implement a custom software based on .NET and SQL Server. Now the whole research is to see updates and data changes whenever happens between these systems.
I googled and found Oracle Golden Gate, Microsoft SSIS, Wisdom Force from Informatica....
If you can pour in more knowledge then it's great.
Thank You.

Most of the work involved has to be done through scripts and there is no effective GUI to implement OGG.However using commands is not vey togh and they are very intutive.
These are the steps, from a high level:
1.Get the appropriate GG Software for your source and target OS.
2.Install GG on source and target systems.
3.Create Manager and extract processes on source system
4.Create Manager and replicat processes on target system
5.Start these processes.
First try to achieve uni-directional replication. Then Bi-directional is easy.I have implemented bi-directional active active replication using Oracle DBs as source and target. Refer to Oracle installation and admin guides for more details.
Here is a good article that may be handy in your case.

9iAS vs. Oracle 8i HTTP Server

Hi,
Can anyone explain in some sentences main differences between 9iAS and Oracle 8i HTTP Server.
The latter we have "for free" with the database and in many applications (e.g. PL/SQL + Web Toolkit) this seems to work quite well.
What do we pay for when buing 9iAS?
Regerds,
Jarek

For your application if you care about scalability and want to offload db traffic to cheaper hardware based app server, you might want to consider app server usage.
Also, please note that the presence of HTTP Server in database might change in future.

Question about transfer between oracle and sql server

Could i program to transfer lots of data between Oracle and SQL Server quickly?
I have tried make two connection between two databases, but it took me lots of time to transfer data.
How could I do it?
Thanks

Hi,
If you need to move data fast, then use the Oracle Migration Workbench to Generate SQL Server BCP data extraction scripts and Oracle SQL Loader files.
This is the fastest way to migrate the data.
In the Oracle Model UI tab of the Oracle Migration Workbench, right mouse click on the tables folder. there is a menu option to 'Generate SQL Loader ...' scripts. This will help you migrate your data efficiently.
