Oracle Apex Hosted Account

Hello, all,
Does anyone know if the Oracle-provided environment for ApEx times out after a certain number of days? I was working in the environment today, left it and when I tried to go back in, my credentials wouldn't work. Or is there some other reason for the credentials not to work (a down server, for example)
ThX!

Hi, thanks for your response.
I'm not adding any new rows, I'm just trying to change the values of the textarea fields in the tabular report when the user chooses to load his/her saved parameters. The default for the textarea field in all rows is null, because I assume users will want to start building the report from scratch. However, when the user clicks the button to load his/her saved values, I want to overwrite the null values with new values. How can I do that?
Thanks,
Mark

Do we need Oracle HTTP server to host Oracle Apex ?

We are completely new to this Oracle Apex.
Wanted to know the licensing part of it , before we get into it.
I guess Oracle Apex is free as it comes with the Oracle database license.
1) Do we need some kind of HTTP server to host the Apex on the browser ?
2) Does any HTTP server will work with Oracle Apex ?
3) Any other free Oracle tool which we can use instead of licensing Oracle HTTP server for this Apex ?
Correct me if I am wrong.
Thanks in advance for the gurus out here.

Correct me if I am wrong.OHS is covered by the DB license if OHS is run on the same server. See Joel's post and the document he links to: +{message:id=9256804}+.

APEX_MAIL support on Oracle's free APEX hosting site

Did anybody know the status of APEX_MAIL support on Oracle's free APEX hosting site (http://apex.oracle.com/pls/otn/f?p=....)?
I tested the following 'after submit' process in a testing APEX page without any error message.
begin
APEX_MAIL.SEND (
p_to => 'my_email_address',
p_from => 'my_email_address',
p_body => 'This is a test from APEX form button -- number 5',
p_subj => 'Test Subject ');
end;
But I did not receive the email.

I tried different hotmail and yahoo mail addresses.
If p_to and p_from were the same hotmail email addresses, the emails would be lost.
if p_to and p_from were the same yahoo email addresses, the emails would be received.
This is something caused by hotmail.
The test can be done in SQL commands screen.
APEX_MAIL.PUSH_QUEUE ('localhost',25) did work beautifully.
You could see the message as follows in the SQL commands screen.
Pushing email 4600499720366254834
Pushed email 4600499720366254834

Integrating Google Maps in Oracle Apex and 404 Not found error page

Currently using APEX version 3.2.0.00.27 installed in OracleXE version 10.2.0.1.0. Have been attempting to recreate some examples of Google Maps within APEX. Found a nice set of examples here that build up to what I'm looking to ultimately do by incorporating google maps into APEX:
http://blog.whitehorses.nl/2009/10/04/integrating-google-maps-in-oracle-apex/
Unfortunatly, I'm getting the "404 Not Found, Not found, The requested URL /apex/wwv_flow.accept was not found on this server" page when I try to recreate the "Map with Search" example. I'd like to see if this really works using the html input and button tags in the body/region source versus creating APEX items to pass the address values to the javascript in the html header of the apex page. I'm thinking it's just an html thing within APEX that you have to do it a certain way, but I haven't managed to hit that magic combination. have gone to the google maps api v2 and looked at the html they use (it's what these examples with apex are based on) and tried that just to see. Same 404 result.
I've seen suggestions at this forum and elsewhere that the 404 error is due to a bug. have been to metalink, and really haven't seen anything that spells out what the bug is and how to patch it or work around it. May be I just haven't found the right note/doc yet. have seen suggestions to change something associated with the Anonymous account that APEX uses. Have turned on authentication in the application to use an APEX user account with a logon page to the application. Still get the 404. Although, I have not adjusted anything elsewhere, like a DADS config file, because the apex/xe configuration is using the plsql gateway. Not sure of any procedure for changing settings on anonymous account when using plsql gateway.
Open to suggestions. APEX 3.2 is customer version, so going to 4 may not be an option yet. XE, on the other hand, can certainly be swapped for an 11g version standard or enterprise edition if need be. I don't think this is a db version problem though. I think it's more on the APEX side of things.
Anyway, any help or suggestions are appreciated.
thanks

Cannot print a PDF using the Oracle APEX print feature

Hi,
I work from a Wondows 7 workstation.
I have Adobe FlashPlayer 11 installaed on that workstation.
I can open a regular *.pdf file.
I have the following configuration for my Oracle APEX application:
Report Printing:
Print Server Protocol: Advanced (requires Oracle BI Publisher)
Print Server Protocol: HTTP
Print Server Host Address: the IP address of my BI Publisher server
Print Server Port: 9704 (from installation of BI)
Print Server Script: /xmlpserver/convert
On the page (that is an interactive report) that I want to print, it is configured with:
Download:
PDF option is checked.
When I click on Action -> Download -> PDF for this page, I get the error:
report_customers_region.pdf file can not be opened because the file type is not supported or because it is damaged (because, for example as an e-mail attachment is not sent and correctly decoded)
Does someone has an idea what the problem is and where I should investigate further?
Thanks and Kind Regards.

Well, is the PDF actualyl allowing to be printed? Check File --> Properties in Reader/ Acrobat.

Insert a record into a table through email in an Oracle APEX application

I developed an Oracle APEX application, there is a table called events. I can insert/update/delete a record in the table through browser. I am thinking in order to quickly do the data entry, user should be able to send an email, then the table should be inserted with values from email address, timestamp, subject and body. Anyd idea how to realize this functionality?
- Denis

Start by checking whether your mail server provides any API's for accessing emails , if it does you might be able to reduce a lot of work by using some kind of web service consumer from apex to your mail server. In any case your implementation is going to be dependent on your Mail Server configuration.
Your problem breaks down to reading/accessing mails from the mail server from PLSQL (apex is driven by PLSQL).
I found this other thread which could be of some use.
WAY TO ACCESS A MAIL SERVER FROM ORACLE APEX
<li>The following package might solve your problem directly(from carsten czarski of the German Apex community)
[url http://plsqlmailclient.sourceforge.net]http://plsqlmailclient.sourceforge.net
PS: POP3 support is still TBD.
<li>I also found this posting in the orafaq forums which lists a java method and PLSQL code bit for it for accessing emails via POP3
[url http://www.orafaq.com/forum/t/80928/2/]http://www.orafaq.com/forum/t/80928/2/
If these do not work for you, find some java library to read mail from your server, write a PLSQL wrapper for it and use it in a scheduled job(DBMS_JOB)/a PLSQL block triggered from Apex.
If you get stuck there, find some utility that can read mails, invoke them from your DB using java,shell scrpt,dbms_scheduler etc and use the utility's function for the rest.
NOTE: I haven't tried any of these utilities and you must validate any java code before running them on your environment.
Since aren't really much restrictions(other than spam checks) in sending a mail to your mail account, you might want to consider filtering out the mails from which you create records.

So if you have installed on your workstation/laptop you can simply try http://localhost:8080/apex

Hi Mike,
Thanks for your reply, Let me give you a detail on where we are stuck on send mail.
   We have a Schema called PORTAL
We are able to send mail from UTL_SMTP as mentioned below in a procedure
create or replace PROCEDURE send_mail (p_to        IN VARCHAR2,
                                       p_from      IN VARCHAR2,
                                       p_message   IN VARCHAR2,
                                       p_smtp_host IN VARCHAR2,
                                       p_smtp_port IN NUMBER DEFAULT 25)
AS
l_mail_conn   UTL_SMTP.connection;
BEGIN
l_mail_conn := UTL_SMTP.open_connection(p_smtp_host, p_smtp_port);
UTL_SMTP.helo(l_mail_conn, p_smtp_host);
UTL_SMTP.mail(l_mail_conn, p_from);
UTL_SMTP.rcpt(l_mail_conn, p_to);
UTL_SMTP.data(l_mail_conn, p_message || UTL_TCP.crlf || UTL_TCP.crlf);
UTL_SMTP.quit(l_mail_conn);
END;
Begin
send_mail('[email protected]','[email protected]','test','10.0.0.100','25');
End;
The above code works i am able to send and receive mails.
We also create ACL as mentioned below
begin
dbms_network_acl_admin.create_acl (
acl => 'http_permission.xml', -- or any other name
description => 'HTTP Access',
principal => 'APEX_040100', -- the user name trying to access the network resource
is_grant => TRUE,
privilege => 'connect',
start_date => null,
end_date => null
end;
commit;
SELECT * FROM dba_network_acl_privileges where principal='APEX_040100';
begin
DBMS_NETWORK_ACL_ADMIN.ADD_PRIVILEGE(acl => 'http_permission.xml',
principal => 'APEX_040100',
is_grant => true,
privilege => 'connect');
end;
commit;
begin
DBMS_NETWORK_ACL_ADMIN.ADD_PRIVILEGE(acl => 'http_permission.xml',
principal => 'APEX_040100',
is_grant => true,
privilege => 'resolve');
end;
commit;
BEGIN
dbms_network_acl_admin.assign_acl (
acl => 'http_permission.xml',
host => '10.1.1.100', /*can be computer name or IP , wildcards are accepted as well for example - '*.us.oracle.com'*/
lower_port => 80,
upper_port => 80
END;
But still we are getting same ACL Error Please suggest US
ORA-24247: network access denied by access control list (ACL)
Thanks

(( APEX host needed - Suggestions? ))

July 29, 2010
Hello,
I am new to APEX.
I am learning APEX with
APEX.ORACLE.COM
I would like to find an INEXPENSIVE APEX HOST--
that is a GOOD HOST.
I would like to spend $10 month.
(Maybe $15 or so if necessary.)
Is it possible to get a GOOD HOST in this price range?
I would like to get FEEDBACK
about HOSTS people are using.
Information like this would help me and a LOT of new
APEX users:
WHAT HOST are you using?
How much are you PAYING?
How GOOD is their SERVICE?
Do they have PHONE SUPPORT?
How fast is their EMAIL / TICKET support?
Is it in the U.S? UK? India? Where?
How much do you LIKE them?
Do they have any MAJOR LIMITATIONS?
Are they RELIABLE?
Is there anything you DON'T LIKE about them?
What do you LIKE MOST about them?
Your answers will help me and A LOT of other people!
Thanks for your help.
I really appreciate it!

Hi
We have been using http://www.maxapex.com for last 2 years. Very satisfied. Initially we hosted our Issue Tracking system at MaxApex. After that we hosted several applications for different clients. Everyone satisfied.
Their hosting plan starts with $10/month for 25MB. Support is prompt. They have gone extra mile for us many times if we need anything special. Servers are in US.

Migrating application from Oracle APEX to JAVA

We are one of the groups inside oracle. We have an application developed in Oracle APEX. Now we would like to migrate/implement with JAVA. I have idea about APEX development and hosting. Can anyone help me to list out required software/hardware/server/tool/storage to develop as well as host Application by using java.
Any help is appreciated.
Thanks.
Akie.

This message is from Developer Forum in OTN Oracle.
... "There are no plans at Oracle to stop support for Oracle Forms.
However you should note that support for client-server deployment does have a dead-line (January 05 with extended support until January 08).
The Web deployment of Forms has no de-support plan for it. We are actually working on the features for the next releases of Oracle Forms right now. "
As you can see support for Oracle Forms with Clien/Server arquitecture will be finished on January/05 because they are moving to Web Development.
Additionally they want to mature their JDeveloper until reaches an full integrated tool for Web Development and they are in a good path.
Thank you my friends

Apex hosting 4 gbytes price per year?

Hi all,
Where can be found apex hosting with stable
IP address, 4 gbytes, minimum one year?
thanks in advance
Gordan

I second the idea to not judge service by website design. I made that mistake. I first signed up with someone who's website design is very professional. After dealing with their support staff, it became very apparent that they don't really support APEX. Here's an excerpt from a trouble ticket to see what I mean:
My Original Problem
Can't execute stored procedure as URL
I've been in contact with you via email on this. I have not receive any reply for the past few days. Thought I'd switch this to a trouble ticket to get some visibility.
In my last email, I said:
What I'm trying to accomplish is to store data in a BLOB column in the database. Then using some HTP calls in my package, it sends the data back to the browser (Denes Kubicek's method). This allows me to use simple html tags in the apex pages to go directly to the URL for the package. I've tried several other methods, but this is the only one I've found that gives me such precise control over how the data gets presented on the page.
I'm just wondering if you can help me with this or not.
You can see what I'm talking about on page 2-21 and 2-22 in the Oracle Application Express Administration Guide Release 3.1.2 E12856-01.

Their Response on 11/3/2008 3:31:30 PM
Re : Can't execute stored procedure as URL
Hello,
We are not sure what is it we need to do. We beleive this is more application design issue rather than APEX hosting issue
My Response on 11/3/2008 10:18:50 PM
Re : Can't execute stored procedure as URL
I think I made a mistake by including the information that I used to fix the problem on my development server.
Going back to my original problem: I am receiving a 403 Forbidden error with the following URL: http.www.somenonsense.xyz/pls/apex/my_package.jpg?img_id=31
This is a permission issue on your server.
Their Response on 11/4/2008 1:17:53 AM
Re : Can't execute stored procedure as URL
Hello, unfortunately this procedure does not work in our environment.
We are seeing [Tue Nov 04 01:06:47 2008] [error] [client 24.46.67.250] mod_plsql: /pls/apex/mypackage.jpg HTTP-403 It is forbidden to call this procedure directly from the browser!
You are the only client asking this change, therefore we can not risk breaking working APEX for 1 request.
If you'd like money back , we fully understand
I'm sure that the hosting company's many other hosting services like mySQL are better supported, but I'd never go back to them as an APEX hosting site. So, I would suggest that you contact the support of any hosting site you are considering for APEX and ask some questions. I did this with maxapex and got very good response times from them. I actually was able to hold an email conversation with their support over a number of days. That might mean they're a smaller company, but APEX is the only thing they do, so they know it really well.

Apex hosting

Hi,
I'm in the process of creating a site with Apex that will generate some $'s for the person I'm building the site for. As apex.oracle.com can not be used for commercial sites I will have to find an Apex “ISP”
I’m looking for a hosting plan that can start low, in price, bandwidth etc, and grow as the visitors and needs increase.
I’ve contacted a few of the hosting sites listed on the [Apex hosting page|http://www.oracle.com/technology/products/database/application_express/html/apex_com_hosting.html] but have not heard from them after 5 days.
Now I know the potential $’s they can earn from me is small, but I do find the long time in replying disturbing. What if my production site is down? Will they then take 5+ days to respond as well?
I also find that some of the sites mentioned on the Apex Hosting page contain no information about the Apex hosting except a short sentence that they do provide it.
Ok that is my gripe out of the way.
Can anybody suggest a reliable affordable, Apex “ISP” ??
Kind regards
Johannes
Ps. I know I’m being cheap but my budget is +/- 7.50 Euro p/m. The guy I’m building the site for just got declared bankrupt and I’m building it for him out of friendship and I wil pay hosting costs for the 1st 2 years.

I was just explaining one of my (minor) exasperations when I was looking for some custom themes. Having bought your book - and learnt from many of the constributions you and your co-conspiritor have made here, when I was looking for alternate themes I scanned your website first. I saw this...
^Template Factory^
^Whether you want a completely customised look and feel to your application or you just want a change from the standard built-in themes and templates that are shipped with Application Express, our experienced APEX experts together with our talented graphic designers can come up with the design that suits your needs.^
^You can either give us a specific design or idea to work with, or leave it completely up to us to come up with a unique design for you, alternatively you may wish to use one of our custom designs from our library.^
I like the idea of being able to browse a library and possibly buy. But I was unable to do so on the site. So I looked elsewhere, and as I say, eventually made purchases from both www.apexskins and www.apex-themes. I didnt realise you were the host.
In any case, this was more a case of me being frustrated at not being able to do what I wanted when I wanted, and not meant to be a damning criticism.
Keep up the good work - you and many others in this forum have improved my own skill sets, so thank you!

Website using Oracle APEX

Hi Gurus,
Please tell me if Oracle APEX can be used to deploy a full fledged website on internet.
I have the application ready on my personal machine but need to know if this can be made available for everyone on internet.
Regards,
Abhishek

Abhishek,
If your organization does not have IT infrastructure but has man power (APEX admins), you can use the Amazon EC2 which is cloud computing. Just simply pay monthly fee. Here is a post of APEX on cloud - http://jastraub.blogspot.com/2009/03/test-drive-oracle-application-express.html
Otherwise, here is the list of companies which can host APEX applications - http://www.oracle.com/technology/products/database/application_express/html/apex_com_hosting.html
