Oracle Application Express (APEX) and WebLogic Security

Hi,
Has anyone tried integrating Oracle APEX (custom authentication) with WebLogic Security as the user store?
Thanks
Joel

Hi
Depending on your architecture - APEX in EBS database - or APEX in it's own database instance you're going to have to change a couple of things.
Most importantly - EBS R12 has removed MOd-PLSQL from the Apps menus and from the HTTP listener.
You will need another HTTP listener - Apache with mod-plsql or Database R11 with Embedded Plsql Gateway - EPG.
Second the way that APEX is called from EBS using the Web PLSQL functions in EBS menus is no longer supported in R12.
Check out https://sites.google.com/a/popay.be/apex-on-apps/apps - follow the contacts there - they have also developed a Java utility to call APEX from EBS R12.
In short - depsite Oracle's 'statement of direction' to move away from mod-plsql and removing this from EBS R12 (just what motivates this wierd thinking???)- APEX is still the most flexible and cost-effective means to extend EBS functionality - especially in reporting - and it works just fine in R12.
Good luck
Mike

  • Can Oracle Application Express (APEX) be integrated with ADF applications?

    Hi All,
    Oracle Application Express (APEX) works on various supported databases. Can this tool be integrated with ADF for report publishing, in adf some of my result is coming from Business Components , so can these things be related to each other?
    Please provide a suitable forum to ask this question if this question doesn't fir in ambit of this forum.
    Thanks in advance.

    There are a couple of things you can do - a lot depends on what your application needs. Since you ask this in the JDeveloper forum, I'm going to address getting to ApEx from ADF, not to ADF from ApEx - but some of the same possibilities apply.
    Easiest thing to do is to jump into the ApEx application with a af:goLink or af:goCommand referencing the needed page's URL. By setting the target, you can control whether it opens in a new window or the same window. I'm not currently using ApEx, but I have a few reports written as PL/SQL Server Pages that I call exactly this way.
    You can also open the ApEx pages in an af:inlineFrame - and it will look like it is inside your ADF application - but use inline frames with a little caution - they don't work perfectly in all browsers, notably Mobile Safari.
    ApEx can't look inside your ADF BC objects, but of course, if your two applications are using the same database, you can communicate between them within the database. One possibility to look at is Advanced Queuing.
    Some ApEx functionality can be executed by executing the underlying PL/SQL procedures - do a search in this forum for how to call PL/SQL from an ADF BC Application Module.

  • Do you use Oracle Application Express (APEX) with EBS?

    I am conducting a short survey to determine how you integrate Oracle Application Express with eBusiness Suite. Please take a few minutes to fill out the survey:
    http://apex.oracle.com/pls/otn/f?p=54654:1:0
    {We will not share information with anyone except with your explicit permission}
    We believe that there are a large number of eBusiness Suite customers that are using Application Express in various ways so we are trying to quantify that and get some further information.
    This is all part of a broader effort we are currently undertaking working closely with various people from the eBusiness Suite Development Team.
    This survey is very important to us so please take the time to complete the survey if you use Application Express with eBusiness Suite - It is only 1 page long.
    Thanks,

    Thanks for your reply.
    I did some more investigation to check what could cause this to happene, whereby the report toatal is not displayed at all for few selected paramters.
    What i could analyse was that the records returned were more than 50 (Standard Setting) , which however could not fit into the page, along with that the pagination scheme was not selected. I had to make 2 changes to the Layout of the report
    Pagination Scheme : Row Ranges X to Y(with Next and Previous Links)
    Number of Rows : 500
    This worked for me as the displayed could not be seen on the next page with Previous and next links on the report output.
    Thanks,

  • How do I create "Oracle Application Express Adminstrator" in APEX 3.2.1?

    Hello,
    Quite the newbie so I appreciate any assistance with this.
    How do create "Oracle Application Express Adminstrator" in APEX 3.2.1? I am not talking about a workspace adminstrator but an Entire APEX instance administrator or "superuser"?
    I log into APEX_ADMIN as ADMIN and understand how to create a new user. But how do I grant the new user DBA or "super user" privlidges? It was easy to do when I first installed XE, I would just "check" the "DBA" when I created the user. But when I upgraded to APEX 3.2.1 the function does not seem to be there?
    Thank you for any help you can provide!

    Hi,
    I think you can not grant DBA role from Apex anymore.
    You need connect to database e.g. with SYS user and grant that role.

  • How to stop and start only the process of Oracle Application Express?

    I'd like to know how to stop the process of Oracle Application Express on my server installed oracle express package.
    After installed Oracle Express edition, not only oracle database server processes but also Oracle Application Express, such as http server, is started automatically...
    I hope to stop and start Application Express on demand but is this feature enabled?

    Oracle Apex is an API, if that helps you understand / visualize. You do not start Apex process nor stop it.
    When an Apex session starts it starts calling the API.
    You can however start / stop the listener. It may be OHS, ApexListener and the J2EE container running it, OC4J or any other "server" that you are using.
    The built-in EPG is something like an API again, you cannot start / stop it but you can disable/enable it with DBMS_XDB.SETHTTPPORT API.

  • Oracle Pl/Sql and Oracle Application Express for Beginners

    Good day,
    Have a prodigy that is strongly interested in oracle application express.Haven know that he will only do we in APEX if he is good in pl/sql and have some skills in html and javascripts.
    For such person,what are the books that i can recommend for him,that will guide and assist him?Will be highly grateful if anybody can assist.

    I think it also falsely gives the impression that one does not need to understand the database at all because Apex can do everything for you...This is why I echo Munky when he says that you need a solid understanding of data models and the database before attempting to build an application.
    I absolutely concur with this view. When I first started using ApEx, I was basically given a user guide and told to get on with it :-) Subsequently, for the first 6 months or so, I built probably fairly lousy (but functional) apps until I got a better grasp of Oracle architecture.
    That being said, SQL is an absolute must if you are going to work on a database. PL/SQL really should be learned as well because your application will be limited without it. CSS and Javascript and nice to have's, but they can be learned as you go. Since all of the api's are built in pl/sql, it would really hinder what you could do if you didn't know it.One resource I have found very useful is the good old 'Ant' book a.k.a. Oracle PL/SQL Programming by Feuerstein, et al. I have a well-thumbed 4th edition sitting on my desk at the moment - weirdly for a text book, rather a joy to read.
    I personally found Jay-Lew's "Cost-based Oracle Fundamentals" a somewhat bitterer pill to swallow - tough on the way down but good for one's constitution!

  • Defining and Viewing BLOB Data in Oracle Application Express 3.2

    Hello All,
    There is a nice tutorial for working with images in Application Express 3.1 entitled "Defining and Viewing BLOB Data in Oracle Application Express 3.1". I have 3.2 and I am finding that I can't follow this tutorial... Is there any similar how to for 3.2?
    Thank you,
    Daniel

    Hi,
    I have just gone through the first steps in my OTN workspace app, and I do get the Implementation option (showing Interactive or Classic). In fact, my page at this point matches exactly the image shown in the tutorial.
    My OTN workspace app uses Apex version 3.2. The Interactive reports are relatively new, so older versions of Apex would not have this option. But you say that you are using version 3.2? If you just try to create a report page on, say, EMP, do you get the option to select Interactive or Classic?

  • Oracle Application Express 3.0 and Ajax

    Can we build Web 2.0 (ajax) application in Oracle Application Express 3.0?
    - Open discussion
    - Resources links welcome
    Please contribute your thoughts thank you.

    Hello,
    All the examples in the documentation that he pointed you at are from this application.
    It can be downloaded from here and installed.
    http://apex.oracle.com/pls/otn/f?p=11933:22
    You can also go to individual example pages ans most of them have the relevant code and links back to the forum thread that asked for that particular example.
    Here is the overview page for the APEX ajax framework http://apex.oracle.com/pls/otn/f?p=11933:63
    and here is the most basic example
    http://apex.oracle.com/pls/otn/f?p=11933:11
    This sample application has some Ajax features
    http://www.oracle.com/technology/products/database/application_express/packaged_apps/packaged_apps.html#DOC_LIB
    and these sample code example also take advantage of Ajax.
    http://www.oracle.com/technology/products/database/application_express/packaged_apps/packaged_apps.html#LARGE
    http://www.oracle.com/technology/products/database/application_express/packaged_apps/packaged_apps.html#STICKY
    Past that I recommend you just start playing with it. Once you have the framework figured out, which doesn't take long, you can build Ajax features very quickly.

  • Unable Logging in to Oracle Application Express Administration Services

    I am new for DB. Installed Oracle XE, followed the instruction "Logging in to Oracle Application Express Administration Services", I can not find the login page:
    http://127.0.0.1:7777/pls/apex/apex_admin
    I work on the PC in which XE installed.
    Where are these two files
    ORACLE_BASE\ORACLE_HOME\install\portlist.ini
    ORACLE_BASE\ORACLE_HOME\Apache\Apache\conf\httpd.conf
    I did a search, can't find them.
    Any help welcome.
    Thanks.

    The default port for the Apex webserver is 8080, not 7777.
    To access the XE Database GUI from the Start menu, select Programs (or All Programs), then Oracle Database 10g Express Edition, and then Go to Database Home Page. (I'm assuming your on Windows)
    Or try: http://localhost:8080/apex in your browser.
    The files you mention relate to Apache web server. Oracle XE does not include a Apache, it's web server is built into the database. Are you sure you're following the right documentation? See http://www.oracle.com/pls/xe102/homepage
    Hope this helps.
