Hi,
I tried your exact code in an On-Demand pl/sql page process on page 0. Currently, it is tied to an HTML button on page 0 which results in request = Go. When I log in to the application and land on page 1, I can see the button on the page in the page 0 section (top).
Eventually I would like to set a value in a drop down list, also on page 0, then click the "Go" button to be redirected to various internal and external web sites. For the moment I have excluded any use of the values in the drop down and am only testing whether clicking the go button will execute the code you indicated to take me to the psoug.org website. However, no matter how I configure the page process, whether On Submit (any option) or On Demand, clicking it just redirects me to the same page I am on (page 1).
I am currently using APEX 4.0. The Page process is defined as follows:
Sequence          0
Process Point     On Demand: Run this application process when requesyed by a page process.
Name          Redirect to product page
Type          PL/SQL Anonymous Block
Source
Process Text
     begin
          apex_application.g_unrecoverable_error := true;
          htp.init();
          owa_util.redirect_url('http://www.psoug.org', true);
          end;
Process Error Message     could not process request
Conditions
Condition Type     Request = Expression 1
Expression 1      Go (Have tried 'Go' and "Go" to no avail)
Authorization
Authorization Scheme     No Authorization Required
Configuration     No Build Option
I am fairly new to APEX and I'm sure this is something I am defining incorrectly, but I just can't seem to figure out what it is.
Any ideas? This is the only thing currently keeping from completing a project so any help would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks in advance,
Milo

Wwv_flow_utilities.redirect_url not working in On Submit Application proces

Hi,
I had this working for hours. In the process to change the redirect url somehow I changed something and the following is not working anymore. Thanks for your help.
BEGIN
IF &APP_PAGE_ID. != 101 THEN
IF :P0_JAVASCRIPT_CHECK != 'JAVASCRIPT_ENABLED' THEN
update test_data set thedata = 'I was here 1!'; -- I have confirmed that the code gets here. Since this is a test no need to explicitly commit as Apex will do it
wwv_flow_utilities.redirect_url('f?p=&APP_ID.:1:&APP_SESSION.'); -- This doesn't work!!!
update test_data set thedata = 'I was here 2!'; -- I have confirmed that the code gets here. Since this is a test no need to explicitly commit as Apex will do it
END IF;
END IF;
END;
Thanks,

Varad,
Thank you for your response. As I mentioned I am not looking for the standard API docs. I am specifically looking undocumented wwv* packages. I agree some of them are not for public consumption but they are usuful and mentioned on the forums e.g. wwv_flow_utilities.redirect url (for which there is already a documented alternative owa_util.redirect_url).
I usually go through the package specs too but specs are not very clear (they are not intended as docs :)) e.g. from the spec "g_unrecoverable_error boolean := false; -- indicates error has occured which requires error page".
Your responses and help is really appreciated.
Thanks,
Paresh

Owa_util.mime_header not working like it should

I have written a PL/SQL procedure that functions as a report using htp and htf tags. I wish to give the user the option to display the report in MS Excel. In the procedure, I have the following line:
OWA_UTIL.MIME_HEADER('application/vnd.ms-excel');
This has worked fine for me on several previous occasions, but at this particular client all I get is an output of
Content-type: application/vnd.ms-excel
in the browser, without Excel being opened.
Is there a server/DB/Portal setting that may be restricting Portal from sending this report to Excel? I'm using portal 9.0.2.6.18 on a Sun/Unix platform.

I've been struggling with this too. I've ceated a test procedure which includes:
htp.init;
owa_util.mime_header('application/excel');
htp.p('ID;ORACLE;N;E');
htp.p('line 1 col 1');
htp.p('line 1 col 2');
htp.p('line 1 col 1');
htp.p('line 2 col 2');
but when I open it in Excel I get:
"Error reading record 5"
Can anyone suggest what I'm doing wrong?

Interactive funcationality not working

Hello,
The sorting and filtering functions are not working in any interactive reports in an application. The interactive report appears when sorting or filtering, the waiting symbol is shown but there is no sorting or filtering.
I think it may have to do with the authentication.
The application is accessed from another non-apex application which uses an encrypted token to verify the user.
This is the authentication function:
create or replace function "SIMPLE"
(p_username in VARCHAR2,
p_password in VARCHAR2)
return BOOLEAN is x number;
begin
return TRUE;
end;The authentication scheme is named SIMPLE:
Page Sentry Function
return TRUE;
Login Processing/Authentication Function:
return SIMPLE;
lOGOUT url:
wwv_flow_custom_auth_std.logout?p_this_flow=&FLOW_ID&p_next_flow_page_sess=&FLOW_ID:PUBLIC_PAGE:&SESSION
I then have an application process that checks the encrypted value to either let them in or redirect to another webpage:
declare
     l_hash_value varchar2(1000) := null;
     l_uid varchar2(1000) := null;
begin
select hash_value into :ORIG_HASH_VALUE
from hash
where hash_value = :HASH_VALUE
-- 120 seconds
and hash_date >= (sysdate - 0.001388889)
and rownum=1;
EXCEPTION
WHEN NO_DATA_FOUND THEN
:ORIG_HASH_VALUE := 'nothing';
    If :ORIG_HASH_VALUE <> :HASH_VALUE
    or :ORIG_HASH_VALUE = 'nothing' then
-- perform a redirect back to the home page
        apex_application.g_unrecoverable_error := true;
        htp.init();
        owa_util.redirect_url('http://www.myhomepage.com',true);
end if;
end;Any help is greatly appreciated!
Thanks
Matt

Matt,
I'm sorry that I didn't remember what I'd done for my custom authentication setup better. I'd forgotten that I have a process that also helps with this.
The process is defined to run: On New Instance (new session)
There's a condition on this process so that it only runs when the application item APP_USER_NAME is null.
Among other things, that process script does the following:
DECLARE
l_id_num VARCHAR2(10) := v('UID');
l_user_name VARCHAR2(80);
BEGIN
IF l_id_num IS NOT NULL
THEN
-- Want it for call against standard APEX_CUSTOM_AUTH.SESSION_ID_EXISTS
apex_custom_auth.define_user_session(p_user => l_id_num, p_session_id => v('SESSION'));
l_user_name := get_pref_name(l_id_num);
:APP_USER_NAME := l_user_name;
wwv_flow.g_user_known_as := l_user_name;
END IF;
END;
I can't tell you at the moment why I bother setting g_user_known_as, sorry.
I hope this helps.

Can you set username and password when using OWA_UTIL.REDIRECT_URL?

If you have a PSP that runs under a DAD that includes username and password and therefore doesn't require users to log in and you want it to do OWA_UTIL.REDIRECT_URL to another PSP that runs under another DAD that normally requires login using basic database authentication and the first PSP already "knows" the user's username and password, is there any way to use them to skip the login dialog of the second page? Maybe hack into the request and use UTL_HTTP.SET_AUTHENTICATION somehow...?

That doesn't seem to work, and trying that kind of url directly from the browser says "invalid syntax error", so maybe Oracle appserver just doesn't let you do that.
I got the idea of trying to add an authorization header:
OWA_UTIL.MIME_HEADER(BCLOSE_HEADER => FALSE);
HTP.P( 'Authorization: Basic mybase64encodedcredentials' );
OWA_UTIL.REDIRECT_URL('myurl', FALSE);
OWA_UTIL.HTTP_HEADER_CLOSE;
...but it didn't work either and with a little further thought I guess it's obvious why: any code here modifies the response header for this request, not the request header for the redirect.

Oracle Portal, OWA_UTIL.redirect_url and Max Length URL

I have a question relating to the max length of a URL that can be used within Internet Explorer 5.5 and Oracle Portal (3.0.9.8.5) On IAS 9i version 1.0.2.2.2
My portal page submits to a procedure that carries out some basic DML and then uses the OWA_UTIL.redirect_url api to go to a different page.
When I am in the DML procedure, I build up several string "name/pair" values that concatenate onto my redirect url.
i.e.
str1 := 'p_test=1&p_test=2&p_test=3&p_test=4';
str2 := '&p_loc=USA&p_loc=GB&p_loc=NZ';
url := 'http://my_procedure?' || str1 || str2;
OWA_UTIL.redirect_url (url);
The problem I am having is that in some cases the length of the URL that i produce exceeds the max length permitted by Microsoft I.E 5.5 (2048 characters) and hence my redirect fails.
I understand that if i were to submit the name/pair values through the header then I could have as many as necessary and have read somewhere that it is possible while using the OWA_UTIL.redirect_url api to write values into the header and then close it.
If this is possible could someone please explain how giving an example. If not is there a workaround to this problem?
Regards
Duncan

I believe that this API actually writes a redirect request into
the header of the HTTP request. For this redirect to work, the
body of the HTTP request needs to be empty (i.e. you can't have
any HTML being sent in the request).
The OWA_UTIL packages actually provide some leeway here because
it usually reorganizes requests. That gives you some
flexibility with what you can include, but I believe that you're
running into a limitation imposed by the HTTP specifications.

Problem using owa_util.redirect_url

I thought I could use the following to branch.
However it does not work. Is there anything else
I should be doing to make this work
declare
begin
owa_util.redirect_url('f?p=294:20');
end;

Hi Patrick,
My application is facing with the same problem, i even tried your suggested
apex_application.g_unrecoverable_error := true; -- tells apex engine to quitBut still it didn't worked well. Is there any problem with owa_util.redirect_url() in APEX 4.1.1 newly released patch?
Also is there any other way to set homepage for an application at the time of login?
My exact requirement is, after the successful user login, my authentication scheme has post-authentication procedure, which gets the users default homepage from the table and redirects user to the retrieved homepage, like:
owa_util.redirect_url('f?p='||:APP_ID||':'||page_Number||':'||v('SESSION')||'::NO:::');Regards,
Krishna

Cascading Select Lists - Not Working for me

I am trying to implement Denes Kubicek's Ajax Cascading Select List solution.
http://apex.oracle.com/pls/otn/f?p=31517:119
But it is not working for me.
I'm a newbie to APEX and checked the forum for advice on cascading select lists. I saw the thread for
"Cascading Select Lists - Not Working" posted by sue and the replies by Varad Acharya, but I'm still
having issues of not seeing the alerts, not able to run the pl/sql process in SQL Workshop, and not
getting the expected results.
I have a list of countries (US - USA, CA - CANADA, etc.) and a list of states for each country. When a
user selects a country I would like to show the list of states within that country.
This is what I've done so far:
Defined an application process:
Process Point: On Demand: Run ... by a page process.
Name: CASCADING_SELECT_LIST1
Process Text:
BEGIN
OWA_UTIL.mime_header ('text/xml', FALSE);
HTP.p ('Cache-Control: no-cache');
HTP.p ('Pragma: no-cache');
OWA_UTIL.http_header_close;
HTP.prn ('<select>');
HTP.prn ('<option value="' || 99 || '">' || '- All States -'
|| '</option>'
FOR c IN (SELECT state_code || ' - ' || state_desc d, state_code r
FROM tbk_state
WHERE country_code = :cascading_selectlist_item_1)
LOOP
HTP.prn ('<option value="' || c.r || '">' || c.d || '</option>');
END LOOP;
HTP.prn ('</select>');
END;

I run page 5 (the report) to see the list of locations and then I try to edit a record (page 6). When I
try to select a different country I get the following error (on IE):

Varad,
First, thank you for taking the time to try to help me with this problem.
When I view the page's source code (here are the first few lines):

var get = new htmldb_Get(null,html_GetElement('pFlowId').value,

get.add('CASCADING_SELECTLIST_ITEM_1',pThis.value);
gReturn = get.get('XML');
// gReturn = get.get();

if(gReturn && l_Select){
var l_Count = gReturn.getElementsByTagName("option").length;
l_Select.length = 0;
for(var i=0;i<l_Count;i++){
var l_Opt_Xml = gReturn.getElementsByTagName("option");
appendToSelect(l_Select, l_Opt_Xml.getAttribute('value'),

pSelect.options.add(l_Opt);
l_Opt.innerText = pContent;
}else{
l_Opt.appendChild(document.createTextNode(pContent));
pSelect.appendChild(l_Opt);
</script>
It looks like line 17 is:
var l_Select = html_GetElement(pSelect);
I'm still not sure why I'm getting this error and why it's not working?
Thanks,

Blob download via wpg_docload is not working

Thanks Joel,
not working means the rtf document produced by code does not download
and I just performed export and import of application from old server to new server.
and it still works on the old server.
and code is not altered
and debug does not show anything special. it shows that all parts are working
and it seems that process is executing and after execution there no download dialog box or file saving process.

Thank you !

Try using:
sys.htp.p('test');
Not sure why the synonym to HTP is referencing a HTP procedure owned by OAS10GR2 (OAS10GR2.HTP).
Did your upgrade complete successfully?

Tab key does not work properly in Assessment mode

I am predominatly using Adobe Captivate for software simulations and assessment purposes.
I've seen similar items posted on the forums and noted this appears to be a common problem with a solution, to edit the HTM file with the code so.addParam("seamlessTabbing", "false"); see post http://forums.adobe.com/message/5283597#5283597.
I tried this with a file that was published without the need for SCORM compliance and it worked fine. Once the requirement was introduced for SCORM compliance (and to publish as a Zip file), this does not work as the code is different in the HTM file.
My file has the following code:
<!DOCTYPE HTML PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD HTML 4.01 Transitional//EN" "http://www.w3.org/TR/html4/loose.dtd">

How could I edit this to disable the "seamless tabbing" referred to in the original article to make the TAB key work as intended.
Thank you.

This is from my e-book:
http://www.infosemantics.com.au/troubleshoot-adobe-captivate
Notice that the procedure for Seamless Tabbing in Cp6 with SCORM is different to that for normal non-LMS courses.
Implementing Seamless Tabbing in Cp6
All Captivate versions up to and including Cp6 had Seamless Tabbing active by default and set in the HTM template code. But you can still turn it off by manually inserting some code into the published HTM file as follows:
Navigate to your published Captivate content and open the HTM file in Notepad.
Locate the line of code in the HTM file that starts with:
var so = new SWFObject(
Add the following code on the next line:
so.addParam("seamlessTabbing", "false");
Save changes to the file and test by running your project again in the browser. You should now be able to use the TAB key without leaving your published content.
Adding seamless tabbing to Cp6 SCORM support files
Seamless tabbing in Cp6 SCORM projects is a little more complex because the templates are quite different to those used for normal content. To control seamless tabbing in SCORM content you need to make the changes to the SCORM_utilities.js file in the Captivate install directory.
Depending on whether you’re on 32bit or 64bit, you should be able to find it at one of these locations:
32bit:
C:\Program Files (x86)\Adobe\Adobe Captivate 6 (32 Bit)\Templates\Publish\SCORM\Default\js
64bit:
C:\Program Files\Adobe\Adobe Captivate 6\Templates\Publish\SCORM\Default\js
Open the SCORM_utilities.js file in Notepad or another suitable plain text editor. Scroll down to the end of the code until you find the following lines:
so.addParam("quality", "high");
so.addParam("wmode", CONFIG.WMODE);
so.addParam("bgcolor", CONFIG.BGCOLOR);
so.addParam("menu", "false");
so.setAttribute("name", CONFIG.SWFOBJ_NAME);
so.setAttribute("redirectUrl", CONFIG.REDIRECT_URL);
so.addParam("AllowScriptAccess","always");
so.write(CONFIG.TARGET);
Add the so.addParam("seamlessTabbing", "false"); code to this group and save the file.
If you are currently unable to save changes to these template files, my gut feeling would be that it must have something to do with your user permissions. E.g. you are not an Administrator for your own PC. Is that possible?

Apex Installation not working

Is Apex 4.0 Installation so difficult?!
Tried a basic installation a few times. It is not working. But I can remember a few months ago I had installed 3.2 successfully. I removed the entire schemas and installed a fresh Apex 4.0 installation again.
OS: Windows Vista Home Premium
Apex Installation Log file successfully shows the installation is complete
I have configured the embedded PL/SQL gateway
SELECT DBMS_XDB.GETHTTPPORT FROM DUAL - returns 9000 (which is what I want)
I have enabled network services in Oracle 11g
Inspite of all this when I give the http://hostname:port/apex, it comes with internet explorer cannot display webpage.
The troubleshooting side on the Oracle manual is small, and does not contain much information on actual troubleshooting.
Any help gratefully received

I don't think any Oracle product is certified for Windows Home. Can you upgrade to Windows Professional? I know that I used to be able to find workarounds for earlier versions of Windows and Oracle, but I found that when I tried to install Oracle 11g and Application Express 4.0 on Windows 7 that I needed to upgrade to Windows 7 Professional. That could be your total problem. Other than that, the following is a list of things to check.
Do you have enough disk space?
Is Oracle Text installed?
Are you logged in as an operating system user with administrator privileges when doing the installation?
Did you change your working directory to your apex directory, connect sys as sysdba, and run apexins.sql, apex_epg_config.sql, apexconf.sql, and apexchpwd.sql?
Are there any errors in the installation log or does it say "Thank you for installing Oracle Application Express..." indicating it completed successfully?
Are the apex accounts unlocked and have you granted connect privileges?
Did you try re-starting your computer?
Are all the Oracle services started? You can check from control panel -> system and security -> administrative tools -> services.
Are you connected to the internet?
Are you using internet explorer 7.0 or higher?
Do you get the correct results from the follwing:
select status from dba_registry where comp_id = 'APEX';
should show valid
select dbms_xdb.gethttpport from dual;
should show the port you selected
select owa_util.get_version from dual;
should show version 10.1.2.0.6 or later
show parameter job_queue_processes
should be 1000
show parameter memory_target
show parameter shared_pool_size
either memory_target value should not be null or shared_pool_size >= 100 mb

How to set an item when I redirect using OWA_UTIL.redirect_url

I am using OWA_UTIL.redirect_url to redirect users.
but I am lost in how do I set an item doing this. I have an item called :P101_MSG and I want to set it to 1.
I added &:P101_MSG=1 this: OWA_UTIL.redirect_url ('f?p=&APP_ID.:101:&SESSION.*&:P101_MSG=1* ');
but that was wrong.
Can someone tell me the syntax to set P101_MSG=1 when I redirect.
Howard

Hi
I'm not quite sure of what you're doing or where you are but this isn't how you set APEX items in the URL.
See this example
f?p=:&APP_ID.:&APP_PAGE_ID.:&APP_SESSION.::::P1_ITEM1,P1_ITEM2:A,BThis sets item1 = A and item 2 = B.
Is this what you mean (make sue you get the number of colons correct...
Cheers

Call muliple times wpg_docload.download_file is not working

Trying to loop thru blobs of data that I want to download, can download 1 file but trying to call this piece of code multiple times doesn't work on the second call
declare
Lob_loc BLOB;
Lob_loc1 BLOB
begin
select blob_data
into Lob_loc
from nextgen_ods.ods_data_files
where file_name = :P1_FILE_NAME;
owa_util.mime_header( nvl('BINARY','application/octet'), FALSE );
htp.p('Content-Disposition: attachment; filename="'||replace(replace(substr(:P1_FILE_NAME,instr(:P1_FILE_NAME,'/')+1),chr(10),null),chr(13),null)|| '"');
owa_util.http_header_close;
wpg_docload.download_file(Lob_loc);
select blob_data
into Lob_loc1
from nextgen_ods.ods_data_files
where file_name = :P1_FILE_NAME;
owa_util.mime_header( nvl('BINARY','application/octet'), FALSE );
htp.p('Content-Disposition: attachment; filename="'||replace(replace(substr('myFile',instr('myFile','/')+1),chr(10),null),chr(13),null)|| '"');
owa_util.http_header_close;
wpg_docload.download_file(Lob_loc1);
end;

Yes, this will not work.
Not fault of wpg_docload.download_file() though - you are not creating a valid Mime stream response with your code. You cannot pass 2 files back like that to the web browser as a single HTTP response. Not valid.
What is a valid response? It is one with a correct header and body.
What response does your code attempt to create? A <i>header + body + header + body</i>. This violates HTTP specs and will not work.
