Oracle Multimedia and APEX

Does anyone know where one can download the sample application on building a multimedia application with APEX? It was presented at OOW.
Thanks,

Hi Ahmad,
This is not available yet but should be in the near future. I'll reply to this thread when it's made available.

BUG for sort column with Oracle 11g and APEX 3.2

I have BUG in Report region(Oracle 11g and APEX 3.2). if i have more than 746 Char for my column's value and i want to sort them, this error appear
Report error :
ORA-00910: specified length too long for its datatype.
But in an other environement in Oracle 10g and apex 3.2, with the same data. I have no BUG.
Somebody have an idea for a possible solution to this problem???

Again, I may just be wasting your time...but if I have XDB problems...especially with the password, I do the following:
1. Change your working directory to $ORACLE_HOME/apex.
2. Start SQL*Plus and connect to the database where Oracle Application Express is installed as SYS.
3. Run apxconf.sql
> @apxconf
4. When prompted, enter a password for the Oracle Application Express Admin account.
5. When prompted, enter the port for the Oracle XML DB HTTP server. (default port being, of course,8080).
6. Unlock the ANONYMOUS account
> ALTER USER ANONYMOUS ACCOUNT UNLOCK;
7. If needed, I do the SETHTTPPORT command mentioned before...
Since I'm using the Oracle 11g, with embedded PL/SQL server, I have no idea if this is the same for 10g us OHS?
Hope that helps!

Oracle Text and APEX

Hello
Tried the Oracle White Paper - Oracle Text Web Applications
Created the table and populated with relevant url links
create table htmldb_documentation(
id number,
doc_title varchar2(4000),
doc_url varchar2(4000))
then created the index
create index htmldb_doc_ctxidx on htmldb_documentation(doc_url)
indextype is ctxsys.context
parameters ('datastore CTXSYS.URL_DATASTORE')
Then ran my SQL for the report in Toad and APEX SQL Workshop>SQL Commands before creating an APEX Region based on a SQL Report
select score(1) relevance, doc_title, doc_url
from htmldb_documentation
where CONTAINS (doc_url, :P1_SEARCH, 1) > 0
order by 1 desc
After running the APEX Report I get error
report error:
ORA-29902: error in executing ODCIIndexStart() routine
ORA-20000: Oracle Text error:
DRG-50901: text query parser syntax error on line 1, column 1
I also ran these grant commands after I received this error
grant ctxapp to demo;
grant execute on ctx_cls to demo;
grant execute on ctx_ddl to demo;
grant execute on ctx_doc to demo;
grant execute on ctx_output to demo;
grant execute on ctx_query to demo;
grant execute on ctx_report to demo;
grant execute on ctx_thes to demo;
grant execute on ctx_ulexer to demo;
Any ideas ?? I'm running APEX 3.1.0.00.32 on Oracle 10.2.0.1 on WindowsXP
If I replace the bind variable :P1_SEARCH, with a literal value the error disappears

Couple of things to check:
1) do you have an item called P1_SEARCH in your application?
2) If so, make sure that it has a value; otherwise, Oracle Text gets confused and will throw that error.
You may want to consider using a PL/SQL Function Returning SQL Query that will only append the CONTAINS clause if P1_SEARCH has some value.

Oracle 11g and APEX version

Hi,
My understanding was that APEX 4.0 comes by default with Oracle 11g... recently we've got the oracle 10g upgraded to 11g and our admin has mentioned that APEX verision is showing APEX 3.2.1...
Please advice...
Thanks

Hi,
With Oracle 11g by default apex 3.2 was installed.
You have to download the latest apex release from: http://www.oracle.com/technetwork/developer-tools/apex/downloads/index.html

Oracle OLAP and APEX

Hi,
We have built reports in APEX using Oracle OLAP views. But these reports are very very slow as they query the views which in turn use TABLE and CUBE_TABLE functions to convert cube into two dimensional format of a table.
The cube contains 10 dimensions and 6 measures. Can you help us in answering the below question
Is using OLAP views the only way of accessing Oracle OLAP in APEX ? If yes can you suggest ways to speed up the access ?
We can access the cube very fast using data viewer in AWM.
Thanks,
RK

This is the complete query
SELECT
SUM(TS.TOTAL_SUBMITTED)
FROM EDW2.TOTAL_SUBMITTED_DS_VIEW TS ,
EDW2.CUBE_DIM_CALENDAR_HIE_CAL_VIEW CA
WHERE TS.CUBE_DIM_CALENDAR = CA.CALENDAR_DATE
AND CA.LEVEL_NAME ='CALENDAR_DATE'
AND TS.CUBE_DIM_SOURCE<>'ALL VENDORS'
AND TS.CUBE_DIM_CAMPAIGN<>'ALL CAMPAIGNS'
AND TS.CUBE_DIM_CLIENT_CONTRACT <> 'ALL CONTRACTS'
AND TS.CUBE_DIM_VERTICAL <> 'ALL VERTICALS'
AND TS.CUBE_DIM_PRODUCT <> 'ALL PRODUCTS'
AND TS.CUBE_TIME_HOURS <> 'ALL HOURS'
AND TS.CUBE_DIM_CHANNEL <> 'ALL CHANNELS'
AND TS.CUBE_DIM_CLIENT <> 'ALL CLIENTS'
AND TS.CUBE_DIM_LEAD_TEMPLATES <> 'ALL LEAD TEMPLATES'
AND CA.END_DATE >= '18-FEB-2013'
AND CA.END_DATE < '19-FEB-2013'
After I included all dimensions in the query, the execution time reduced to 2.7 seconds. In the earlier query I included only 4 dimensions.
The cube is partitioned by Month, there is a partition for each month.
I did 70% precompute on the cube.
I also enabled the Materialized view refresh of the cube. Now the same query using the materialized executes in 0.2 seconds. Below is the query.
SELECT
SUM(TS.TOTAL_SUBMITTED)
FROM EDW2.CB$TOTAL_SUBMITTED_DS TS
WHERE CUBE_DIM_CALENDAR = 780
Now in APEX we will use the materialized view instead of cube view and check the performance.
I will paste the contents of CUBE_OPERATIONS_LOG table shortly.

Integrating Oracle EBS and ApEx Aplication with Responsibilities and SSO.

Good day all.
I am looking forward from getting somebody 's help, the trouble I am facing is described below:
a) I am currently working on SSO with EBS. I mean, my users can connect and work perfectly.
b) ApEx is Configured as Application Partner with SSO, and the application we built (it's call PR-Auto)
is working good under SSO platform. I mean I am able to login using TEST user and password TEST in
both applications (EBS and PR-Auto).
c) The thing is that I need to call PR-Auto from one responsibility in EBS;
Following my setup for the responsibility:
- I have created a function:
Name: APEX_FA_PR
Properties:
Function type: SSWA plsql
Web HTML :apps.apex_launcher.launch_fa_pr
Web Host agent: pls/apex
- I have created a menu, application and responsibility using the function APEX_FA_PR.
- I have create launcher package:
create or replace package apex_launcher is
procedure launch_fa_pr;
end apex_launcher;
create or replace package body apex_launcher as
procedure launch_fa_pr as
begin
/** 110 Is ID of PR-Auto, my app **/
/** 5 is my home page **/
f(p=>'110:5');
end;
end apex_launcher;
d) New responsibility shows on EBS menu page.
e) Click on responsibility, and the page shows 'redirecting to login server for authentication', but
nothing happens, page goes blank with this url:

Second question:
Do we have any other methos of passing session to ApEX from Application server other than cookies.
Please suggest.
Thanks.

Oracle Portal and APEX

Hello,
After visiting the site for APEX I was very much excited about the simplicity with which an application could be built. I want to implement this at my site.
Currently, we have a Oracle Collaboration Suite 10g instance at our site. It includes Application Server & Portal. It uses SSO to authenticate the users.
Now my query is that can we use the same application server and single sign on to access APEX. OR in other words Can APEX be integrated with SSO?
So that users while visiting portal have access to all the applications that we develop in APEX.
Any insights would be of great help.
Your co-operation would be highly appreciated.
Regards,
Saabir.

Saabir,
Yes, you can develop Application Express applications that use the same AS/SSO login server used in your Portal configuration for authenticating your application users. They will be able to run your applications whether they access them through links in Portal or from links situated elsewhere. Also, I'm pretty sure they will have to login when accessing any of your SSO-enabled applications even if they've already authenticated to your Portal/SSO environment.
See http://www.oracle.com/technology/products/database/application_express/howtos/sso_partner_app.html for detailed instructions.

Unable to Login into APEX after upgrade from ORACLE XE to APEX 3.2

Hi,
I have upgraded Oracle 10g XE to with apex_3.2 on the Windows XP.
My ORACLE XE wa in folder "C:\ORACLE XE"
And APEX 3.2 in folder "C:\Ver 3.2\APEX"
Once you complete the standard install, i performd the following steps to complete
the upgrade which i got on my previous post.
Till normal installation i was able to login in Apex link and was able to run my application which was
in oracle XE but the only problem was i was unable to see any images in "EDIT PAGE" but my application was running well.
then i did following steps to get those images
Connect to SQL*Plus as SYS
@APEX_HOME/apex/apxldimg.sql APEX_HOME
@APEX_HOME/apex/apxxepwd.sql password
(where password is the password of the Application Express internal ADMIN account)
I chanbged image directory as below
FROM:
create directory APEX_IMAGES as ‘&1/apex/images’ ;
TO:
create directory APEX_IMAGES as ‘c:\oraclexe\apex\images’ and also tried ‘c:\ver 3.2\apex\images’;
Ran @apxldimg.sql
@apxxepwd.sql password (where password is the password of the Application Express internal ADMIN account)
Exit from the SQL*Plus session.
Change directory to c:\oraclexe\apex\owa, open the README.TXT file and follow the instructions within to complete the installation
But now i am unable to login into the page itself. It "showing Page Not Found"
Please kindly help me how to run APEX now through link.
Thanks in advance.
Thanks & Regards
Sanjay

Using Oracle Text with Apex

Can someone point me to some resources on how to integrate Oracle Text and APEX to do searches, highlight results, etc (all the features of Oracle Text)?
The data to be indexed is in files on the filesystem, so I would like to keep it that way and use the FILE_DATASTORE option for Text.
Thanks for any pointers.
Update: Yes, I did see http://www.oracle.com/technology/products/database/application_express/pdf/apex_text_application_v1.6.pdf
but the search results there just returns the URL/file containing the "hit". It doesn't show the actual text fragment that caused the match, doesn't highlight it, etc. I am looking for a real Google-like search. Hm, having said that, I might as well use Google Desktop! Nah, where's the fun in that?

This is a very simple application for my own use. It started life in 8i when there were fewer Text options.
As such, it uses the query string as entered. This returns all of the matches:
select msgid, msgdate, Box, fromaddr, subject
from eudora.inbox
where contains(body, :P703_MailSearch) > 0
order by msgdate descI display the selected result like this:
select subject,
Replace(eudora.mmarkup(:P704_MSGID, :P702_SEARCH), Chr(13), '<BR>') Body
from eudora.inbox
where msgid = :P704_MSGIDIn a newer application, I experimented with the CTXCAT grammer.
That query looks like this:
select m.ID, m.pdpno, m.shortdesc
from pdp_mast m
where contains(m.dphistory, '<query><textquery lang="ENGLISH" grammar="CTXCAT">
                                         ' || :P1_Text || '
                                     </textquery>
                                  <score datatype="INTEGER"/>
                              </query>') > 0
    or contains(m.shortdesc, '<query><textquery lang="ENGLISH" grammar="CTXCAT">
                                         ' || :P1_Text || '
                                     </textquery>
                                  <score datatype="INTEGER"/>
                              </query>') > 0As always, once you figure out the syntax, its easy to make it work in Apex.
Text indexes are very fast. On my old 600MHz PC, searches in 250MB of text take less than a second.

Oracle forms vs apex

hi all ,
i want to know the difference between the both , because i've read before that the two of them are for developing enterprise applications, so what is the difference ? is apex for developing applications just for small enterprises ? or what ?
thanks in advance

This question was asked at least hundreds of times, it might be a good idea to use the forum search (or google for that matter) to see what comes up. The whole topic is somewhat huge and can't be broken down in a few sentences. So you have to read and make up your mind yourself.
For example look what google brought up when feeding it with the search terms oracle forms apex (I agree these are very strange search terms to use when searching for information on oracle forms and apex, as search phrases like wrzlbrmpf are more likely to return anything):

How to create a database link between an 8i (apps) database and APEX

Want to link my Oracle APPS databse on 8i with Oracle XE and APEX. Any idea how to achieve this ?

I don't know what Apex is!!! But try to follow these instructions.
It works for Oracle 9i.
As far as I know, you are supposed to have installed other than ORACLE Client to complete these instructions.
1. Control Panel / Administrative Tools / Data Sources (ODBC)
Folder: System DSN /
click add
Choose : Microsoft Access Driver
Data Source Name : my_test
Description : any_description_you_want
click Database/Select... : full pathname for <your_file.mdb>
click OK
Click OK
2. Goto OH\hs\admin:
2.1) Create a copy of "inithsodbc.ora" file giving it this name:
initmy_test.ora
2.2) Edit "initmy_test.ora" and change as below.
# HS init parameters
HS_FDS_CONNECT_INFO = my_test
HS_FDS_TRACE_LEVEL = OFF
3. Add this entry to listener ( Don't forget to stop/start the listener )
(SID_DESC =
(SID_NAME = my_teste)
(ORACLE_HOME = <Path to OH> ) ### Ex: D:\ORANT901
(PROGRAM = hsolesql)
4. Now you need to add entries to point to the HS in the tnsnames.ora :
access =
(DESCRIPTION=
(ADDRESS=(PROTOCOL=tcp)(HOST=<your_host>)(PORT=1521))
(CONNECT_DATA=(SID=my_test))
(HS=my_test)
5. Now you need to go into the database and create the database link:
CREATE PUBLIC DATABASE LINK "ACCESS_DB" USING 'access';
6. select * from your_table@ACCESS_DB;

How to Install 11i on existing 10g and APEX setup

Dear All,
I am planning to install 11i EBS on my XP machine that already has oracle 10g and apex 3.2 installed. I am little worried that my lack on experience with EBS may end up me messing-up my existing database and setup. I am new to EBS but have good experience with Oracle database. I am looking for some pointers that will guide me to safer landing with 11i installation. Can you please advise what steps/precautions I need to consider before installing 11i on existing 10g database?
Thanks

How to configure Oracle SSO for forms and apex

Hi All,
I am trying to configure oracle SSO for forms and apex using third party external authentication. Please help me how to configure. I a have tried all possible things
from web but I am not able to do it. Is there any doc or links are much appreciated.
Info: Some reason my oiddas web link is not working it used to work fine before and also the from /pls/orasso/ link I am not able to login may be because of my oiddas issue
Thanks

Hi Andreas,
Thanks you for your help. I am trying to implement third party external LDAP authentication for APEX and Forms.
So I started with OID and SSO setup to create external Partner Applications. Some reason my oid and sso web login links are not working. I didn't find any errors. I need some help in finding the problem and direction, I already read docs on web but no proper direction. I appreciate your help.
Thanks

Guide to installing XE and Apex on Oracle Enterprise Linux 5.3 (64 bit)

I have just been through a time consuming and frustrating process of installing Oracle XE 10gR2 on Oracle Enterprise Linux 5.3 x86-64 and I want to share my experience so that others can benefit from it and overcome the same problems more quickly.
Prior to starting I had installed OEL 5.3 and been using it for a few days. The system I am using is a home built box with an AMD Phenom X4 955 Black Edition, 8 Gb RAM, Highpoint RR2680 RAID controller with 4 1TB disks in a RAID5 array and an additional 320Gb HDD storing the OS. I am using KDE3.5 on the desktop.
The main problem I encountered was with SELinux. As I eventually intend to have this system exposed on the Internet I was reluctant to switch it off despite having read extensively about the issues surrounding it and Oracle. I had several failed attempts at the installation process before succumbing to the reality that SELinux and Oracle are not happy bedfellows. I decided to switch SELinux to permissive mode having followed the advice here.
I found a very helpful guide to installing XE on Linux here as part of the installation of an application called Spacewalk. Note that you do not need to complete the whole Spacewalk installation, but just follow the instructions in the linked page.
Before you start you need to ensure that the UID of your oracle user is less than 500. Mine was 500, so I used the following commands to fix this:
usermod -u 250 oracle
find / -uid 500 -exec chown oracle {} \;
These change the oracle UID to 250 (but check that isn't already used first!) and the find command searches for all files that were owned by oracle (but weren't after the usermod cmd) and changes them back to oracle's ownership.
Now follow the Spacewalk instructions until you reach the Server Setup section. Before you do this you need to make a couple of changes to the script /etc/init.d/oracle-xe. I found these changes in various places, such as [link(1)|http://forums.oracle.com/forums/thread.jspa?messageID=1345771&#1345771] and [link(2)|http://dbataj.blogspot.com/2008/08/lblibrarypath-is-not-set-on-startup.html].
Note that in link(1) the oracle-xe-selinux packages installed have the same effect as the chcon command on the shared libraries so it isn't necessary to perform this step.
Open /etc/init.d/oracle-xe in vi (or your favourite editor) and do the following:
line 49: change /bin/su to /sbin/runuser
after line 52 (export PATH...) add the following lines:
LD_LIBRARY_PATH=$ORACLE_HOME/lib:$LD_LIBRARY_PATH
export LD_LIBRARY_PATH
There are further changes recommended to /etc/init.d/oracle-xe in [this post|http://forums.oracle.com/forums/thread.jspa?messageID=3201491&#3201491] but I haven't done them yet.
Having done the above changes you can now configure Oracle XE by running /etc/init.d/oracle-xe configure (as root!). As I have Apache Tomcat running on port 8080 I changed the default HTTP port to 8500 but kept the listener on its default port of 1521. Once the confuration script is done you will need to change the ports SELinux uses for Oracle as follows:
semanage port -d -t oracle_port_t -p tcp 9000 - deletes port 9000, which is the SELinux default port for Apex
semanage port -a -t oracle_port_t -p tcp 1521 - ensure that listener port is OK (assuming you used default of 1521, change accordingly if you didn't)
semanage port -a -t oracle_port_t -p tcp 8500 - add the new Apex HTTP port to SELinux
After all this running:
semanage port -l | grep oracle
should show you:
oracle_port_t tcp 1521, 8500
I ignored the TNSNAMES.ORA part of the Spacewalk instructions and proceeded with the 'Client setup on 64bit platform' and 'Configuring sqlplus' sections.
For the latter I created a bash script which I have made available in the oracle user and my own user's home directories:
cat > configure_oracle_10g_xe.sh
ORACLE_HOME=/usr/lib/oracle/xe/app/oracle/product/10.2.0/server
PATH=$PATH:$ORACLE_HOME/bin
ORACLE_SID=XE
export ORACLE_HOME ORACLE_SID PATH
LD_LIBRARY_PATH=$ORACLE_HOME/lib:$LD_LIBRARY_PATH
export LD_LIBRARY_PATH
I did this as I intend to install other Oracle databases, e.g. 11gR2, on this box later so I didn't want to put the above in .bashrc.
Having done the above you should be able to log into the database using sqlplus and the XE setup is complete.
The upgrade of Apex 2.2 to Apex 3.2.1 was fairly painless so I won't go into much detail about it - just follow the instructions provided by Oracle.
The only issue I had was right at the end of the process and is documented and answered in [this thread|http://forums.oracle.com/forums/thread.jspa?threadID=958611&tstart=0].
That's it - I hope somebody will find this useful.

On Oracle Metalink site, there are many documents which says that Oracle 32 bit software works on 32 bits OS and 64 bits software works on 64 bits OS. Official support is only in those combination....
So there is no good way to help you in your case-XE is 32 bit application with hard codded compiled libraries which most of them would not work on 64 bit OS.

How to load PDF files into oracle database and display them in APEX

Hi All,
We have a requirement for loading the Loading PDF files (lots of PDf files) to the oracle database and then display the PDF files in the Oracel APEX report.
So that User can view the PDF files. Our current APEX verison is 3.2..
Please let me know how to implement it and where to find the sample application!
Thanks in advanced!
Jane

Thanks Tony for your quick response!
We need to load a lot of PDfs (history + current).
I have a questions about the SQL loader. I am trying to insert a pdf file into a table by following the oracle loading sample:
http://download.oracle.com/docs/cd/B10501_01/text.920/a96518/aload.htm
Example Data File: loader2.dat
This file contains the data to be loaded into each row of the table, articles_formatted.
Each line contains a comma separated list of the fields to be loaded in articles_formatted. The last field of every line names the file to be loaded in to the text column:
Ben Kanobi, plaintext,Kawasaki news article,../sample_docs/kawasaki.txt,
But i don't know to where should I put my pdf file on the server.
for example:
,../sample_docs/kawasaki.txt,
Where is the file 'kawasaki.txt'??
I try my local path, it didn't work. like c:\temp.
then I loaded teh PDf file into our server(/findev20/olmtest/orafin/11.5.7/olmtestcomn/temp) , and In my data file. I put the path
1, pdf_emp1,../findev20/olmtest/orafin/11.5.7/olmtestcomn/temp
but I got the error: the system can not find the file specified.
Where should I put the PDf files on the server and how to specify the path in the data file?
Thanks!
Jane
