Oracle APEX installation question

Can we install APEX on different host from database host?
We would liketo install apex/apache on standalone host.
Can we do it?
Thank you.

This is an interesting question to me also. I'd like to hear some discussion as to how people have done this.
It is my understanding that an APEX application has to exist in the same database as the data which it uses. I didn't think that it was possible to have the Parsing Schema for an application on a different database than the APEX install.
Even if it is possible (with the help of database links and the like) would it be advisable in terms of performance, maintenance, etc?

Oracle 9iAS installation question-oci.dll error

Hi all
I have a question about 9iAS installation. Can we install 9iAS in NT??. I downloaded from the site, installation for NT. While installing I get error like "could not write oci.dll error"..I'm installing the portal and wireless type and I have my Oracle9i database installed on the same machine. Can anybody suggest how to rectify this error.
Thanks a lot

Are you trying to install in the same Oracle Home directory as the database? You should install in a different OH. Furthermore, 9iAS itself also installs in 2 OH's. You will end up with 3 OH's.
It is not a good idea to install the database and 9iAS on the same server, unless you have a really big one.

Oracle 10g installation questions

Hi,
I tried to install Oracle 10g (Enterprise Edition) on Windows 2000 server, and encountered the following error when I used the Database Upgrade Assistance to ugrade one of my existing Oracle 8 database TEST.
ORA-01658: Unable to create INITIAL extent for segment in tablespace USERS.
I searched the forum, and seems that there is not enough space for my USERS tablespace. Is it the right solution?
If I clicked Ignore for the above erro, another error appeared:
ORA-00942: table or view does not exist.
I don't have table or view in TEST database, it is just a database instance created by Oracle 8. Do I have to create tables or views in order to upgrade it to Oracle 10g database?
I tried to upgrade an existing Oracle 8 database TEST1 which has data in it, and got the following error:
ORA-01119: error in creating database file D:\oracle\oradata\test1\sysaux01.dbf.
ORA-27044: unable to write the header block of file.
One last question is that after the failing of the DBUCA, I was told that the 10g was successfully installed on my server while no orcl database was created even if I chose
to create a database orcl during my installation.
The following are services running for 10g after the installation.
OracleCSService Started
OracleOraDb10g_home1iSQL*Plus Started
OracleOraDb10g_home1SNMPPeerEncapsulator
OracleOraDb10g_home1SNMPPeerMasterAgent
OracleOraDb10g_home1TNSListenerLISTENER10 Started
Anybody has any idea what went wrong?
Your early reply is greatly appreciated.
Jane

I believe the answers are:
1. the Oracle client needs to be the same bits as the TimesTen server. i.e. if you have 64b TimesTen, then you will need 64b Oracle client. If you have 32b TimesTen then you will need 32b Oracle client.
2. Yes. I believe you can install 64b TimesTen with 64b Oracle client and connect this to a 32b Oracle server. I dont have any idea about performance overhead of this configuration.

Oracle APEX Installation/configuration in Oracle 11g

Hi,
I installed oracle 11g and planing to configure Oracle Application Express(APEX). which one is better in this..
Scenario 1: Downloading from OTN and Configuring the Embedded PL/SQL Gateway
Scenario 2: Downloading from OTN and Configuring Oracle HTTP Server
Scenario 3: Install from the Database and Configure the Embedded PL/SQL Gateway
Scenario 4: Install from the Database and Configure Oracle HTTP Server
I am not installed apache tomcat web server..
--kishore

Hi,
Your question is very generic, so here is a generic answer... download it from OTN because doing so you will have the latest version and use the embedded PL/SQL gateway because it is easier and simpler to use than the separate HTTP server.
I hope this helps...

Solaris Cluster 3.2 with Oracle 11i R2 oracle agent installation question

Hi all!
I'm new in clustering and trying to build a two-node cluster in my lab. At the moment i've successfully installed cluster software and oracle on the nodes and now i'm trying to integrate cluster with oracle DB. Unfortunately, i couldn't find the documentation about this task. Can anyone give me an URL, where to look? By the way: i tried to find something here: http://docs.sun.com/app/docs/doc/820-7360/fxjbo?a=view but found info only about Oracle RAC and nothing else, but i'm trying to build cluster without RAC - just only with solaris cluster.

Hi,
You might run into trouble with 11gR2 right now. You need to wait until the nxt patch for th eHA Oracle agent is avialble, or use 11gR1 at the moment.
Sorry for the bad news.

Getting error while importing the application in Oracle Apex

Hi,
I am facing an issue while importing an application into my new Oracle Apex installation. Installation was successful with out any issue. I exported an application from my old Apex (version 3.0.0.00.20) and importing the same into new apex (version 3.0.1.00.08). I am getting the following error.
============================================================
The requested URL /pls/apex/wwv_flow.accept was not found on this server.
============================================================
When I click on import in Application Builder page and then browse the required file it gives the progress saying "Importing File" and after some time it displays the above error.
I tried bouncing the application also and there is not error in alert log.
Could any one please suggest, if there is some problem here. Or my approach is not correct.
Thanks in advance.
Regards,
Advait Deo

Osacar, I recommend that you try to import the application into your workspace on apex.oracle.com and see what happens. Also, refine the problem statement as much as you can, e.g., you get this error importing "the application" or when importing "any" application. How big is the file you're trying to import? Where did it come from? Can you upload images?

Solution (not question :-) ): Apex Installation Script

i´ve asked so may question here, and got (most of the time) fast and helpfull answers, so that´s the time to do something for the community:-)
i´ve written an installation script for Apex 3.1 / 3.1.1. It has two Parts. First Part ist the main script to install all the necassary scripts (and there are a lot). The second one (installcheck_apex.sql) is a PL/SQL Block that checks all requirements and shows the output, you should consider/change. And the script can change all parameters/ports/accounts ...
But it is very long (320 Lines of Code) If somebody needs it, i post it also
Remarks are in German\English
All comments are welcome :-)
Kind regards

You don't really have to, but if you want to use APEX with those multiple instances, it'll make
life much easier - you don't want to keep the data in one database instance and your (APEX) application code in another and get the data over a link.
But you only need one Instance of Oracle HTTP Server with multiple dads configured, not one
HTTP Server per Instance.

Install Oracle 11g without APEX installation

Hi,
Since I don't want to use the embedded PL/SQL gateway as the default Web server, can I just install Oracle 11g database software with any APEX and PL/SQL gateway installation? I prefer to manually install APEX 3.2 to make sure that everything is clean.
Also, can Oracle 11g use Apache 2 version of the Oracle HTTP Server?
Thanks.
Andy

Andy:
You can simply install APEX 3.2 over the version that is already in the 11g database. The OHS supplied with 11g cn be used to access your APEX installation.
You can disable HTTP access to the database by executing the following as the sys user
exec dbms_xdb.sethttpport(0);

Questions on the comparison between Oracle Forms and Oracle APEX

Hi All,
The link below presents information about Oracle Application Express for Oracle Forms Developers, the table at the end of the page shows a comparison between Oracle Forms and Oracle APEX, all the points of comparisons are clear for me except 3 points which are:
•Locking, what is meant by locking models?
•Database Connections, what is meant by Synchronous/Asynchronous connections in Oracle Forms and Oracle Apex?
•Architecture, what is meant by 2tier and 3 tier connections?
http://www.oracle.com/technology/products/database/application_express/html/apex_for_forms.html
What I need is a simple explanation for these points without deep details.
Thanks

Hi
That is how I understand that document:
Locking: Forms, by default, locks a row as soon as the user starts modifying the data. That is pessimistic locking. Apex, on other hand (and optionally forms also) do not lock the record, but before applying any changes checks if the data has changed since the user queried it (what for some reason is called optimistic "locking")
DB connections: I am not sure why they used the terms synchronous/asynchronous, but the difference is that Forms, by default, keeps an permanent DB connection while the user is using the application, while Apex gets a connection from a connection pool every time a page is requested/submitted.
Architecture: Forms (in its web version at least) has 3 tiers: the browser, the appserver where the forms service runs and the database. As Apex runs inside the database, there are only 2 tiers: the browser and the database (though you still may need an http server in between which serves static content, I don't think it is considered part of the application in this context). If you are talking about client/server forms, then there are only 2 tiers.
I hope this helps!

Question about Oracle 9iLite installation

In Oracle 9iLite installation and configuration guide for WinXP, there is the following requirement for pre-installation:
"Remove the Oracle JAR file classes1x.jar from the classpath before installing Oracle9i Lite. You can restore the classpath after the installation is complete"
Do you know how to remove it?
Thanks a lot!

FAQ's on Oracle APEX

Hi Friends,
I am learing my self oracle APEX.. I am having interview on next months.. So anybody can send FAQ's of oracle APEX(Developer)
Please mail me to [email protected],[email protected]
--kishore

With all due respect, reading FAQs is not very helpful without putting them in the context of actually using the tools and finding your way through questions and problems as they actually occur.
I would suggest walking through every tutorial you can get your hands on and make sure you thoroughly understand why everything was done and what it does (especially in the case of code samples). That's where real learning is going to take place.
Install your own database, your own apex installation configure it, tweak it, install sample apps, take 'em apart, break 'em, fix 'em, etc... By the time you're done you should know every sample app and tutorial on the Apex home page inside and out.
Best of all would be to develop your own application based on some ideas you have for a piece of software. Build the database objects, build the pages, forms, reports, etc. When you have a set of requirements that you need to satisfy it's far more challenging (and rewarding) than just walking through the steps of a tutorial.
Good luck on your Apex adventures!

Move APEX Installation from one database to another one

My task is to move an APEX installation to a new one.
Exact: The customer wants to downgrade from Enterprise Edition to Standard Edition.
Database version is 9.2.0.8 (both), APEX version is 2.2.1
What I've done:
- Full database export (from EE)
- Delete EE-software, reboot server
- Install. SE-software, reboot server, create db
- Full database import
around 40 db objects are invalid after recompile:-(
2. try:
- create db (SE)
- Install. of APEX 2.2.1
- Import of the schemas flows_020200, flows_files and the APEX user-schemas
- recompile
all db objects are valid, but the APEX applications belongs to a workspace "unknown" so no workspace have access to its applications:-(
Has anybody an idea or a recipe for me?
Many thanks
Ralph

Hi, Scott –
Thanks for your post on this thread last Friday evening, May 2. I posted my message on Wednesday April 30, and after receiving no response after two days, we decided to go ahead with my planned migration on Friday afternoon. We completed it shortly after 5:00 PM (just six hours before you posted your response). Everything seemed to go well, but based on your expert opinion, we've decided to scrap the TARGETDB installation and redo the migration according to your recommendations.
It seems that exporting each Apex application individually from the SOURCEDB and importing it individually to the TARGETDB would be a laborious and lengthy process, but if Oracle provides no faster and more convenient alternative, then I guess this is something we’ll have to do.
However, this has sparked more questions….
Like I said in my previous post, we’re relatively new to Apex. When I mentioned exporting/importing Apex workspaces, I was imprecise in my terminology. I know you can export Apex applications from the SOURCEDB Apex installation and import them into the TARGETDB Apex installation using the Web based Apex Admin tool. But can/should you do the same with workspaces? Or do you recreate corresponding empty Apex workspaces on the TARGETDB and then import the appropriate Apex applications into them?
What would you suggest to be the best way to do this?
Thanks again for your help!

How to use Oracle APEX with Oracle12c - Beginner

Hi. I have been using for months Oracle Application Express thanks to the online workspace on https://apex.oracle.com/i/index.html.
Now, I want to create my production environment. I have installed Oracle Database 12c on a virtual machine (Oracle Virtual Box) based on Windows Server 2008 R2 (64 bit) o.s.
I have created a new database and, during this process, I have selected only "Oracle Application Express" as database's option. Now, I don't know how to use APEX, how to configure the Listener and whatever I need to let the users may use my APEX's applications. Thank you very much for any help. Please consider that I am a beginner and I don't know how to master the administrative-side of APEX.
