Problems enabling Oracle XML DB HTTP Server in APEX 3.2.1/oracle 11.1.0.7

I have down loaded apex_3.2.1.zip file and following the directions on OTN, but the http://host:port/apex/apex_admin url does not work.(page not found)
running this SELECT DBMS_XDB.GETHTTPPORT FROM DUAL; returns 8080.
I ran script apex_epg_config and unlocked anonymous account.
I also set the shared server parameter to 5.
Any suggestion on what could be causing the problem?
Thanks,
Sireesha

Logging into APEX through Oracle XML DB HTTP Server and Embedded PL/SQL

Hi,
I have just finished installing Apex 3.0 on RHEL 4. I am not using HTTP Server, but Embedded PL/SQL. When I go to the page administrator page http://host:8080/pls/apex/apex_admin a prompt pops up and when I give the username as "admin" and the password then it doesn't log me in. I ran the apxconf.sql script and reset the admin password and it is still not letting me log in.
Please advise

Unfortunately, using the pl/sql gateway is not yet supported. The documentation should be more clear about that.
You'll need to use the HTTP server.
See FAQ #8:

Oracle 11g R2 HTTP server for APEX

I am in the process of configuring new apex enviornment to run Oracle HTTP Server instead of the embedded server which we are currently using on another instance. I have configured 11g r2 along with companion version of Oraclle HTTP server entitled Oracle Fusion Middleware Web Tier Utilities.
Currently all is working fine with this configuraiton using SSL.
We have a couple of third party applications that are supplied in a EAR file for deployment. Does this version of Oracle HTTP support such deployments? There seems to be no gui interface to managing the http server and web cache. Do we need to move to the full Fusion app server to support EAR deployments, etc. If so, I am assuming we would then have to purchase Fusion product unlike http product for APEX.
Any feedback is appreciated.

For a number of reasons scrapped http server and installed and configured GlassFish community edition with Apex Listener. With caching enabled all is working great. Weblogic is overkill.

Can Oracle HTTP Server 2.0 be installed with Oracle App Server 10.1.3.4.0?

Or I guess a related question is what version of apache comes with the latest App Server Patch Set (10.1.3.4.0)?
We are running OAS 10.1.3.3.x and we are having issues with URLs that end in a number but which have query parameters at the end.
E.g. http://<stuff_here>/1?type=table&format=html
The URLs come from REST-ful GET operations. It seems like the HTTP server just ignores the query parameters completely.
When we run against stand-alone OC4J which includes an embedded HTTP server, such URLs work as expected.
We are hoping that perhaps the latest patch set for the full Oracle Application Server 10g will overcome this issue.
But if we need to move to a later Oracle HTTP Server (like the one that comes as an option for the Oracle 11g database installation) we would be willing to do so.
Comments related to this are welcome.
Thanks
Jim

Hi,
Does anyone have experiece getting Apex working with secured BI publisher?
The error I am getting when PDF printing from Apex to BI pub is:
"ORA-20001: The printing engine could not be reached because either the URL specified is incorrect or a proxy URL needs to be specified.
Error failed
OK "
Please note, network services in 11G are already configured; thus I am able to print from Apex to non-secured BI pub.

Problem with TREX 7.0 : HTTP Server is not working

Hi all,
I have installed TREX 7.0 recently(Windows XP Pro, with IIS 5.1). I'm having portal installed in the same system(NW04s). After this installation I found that status of httpserver is red, rest all servers are having green status. I checked it in IIS, there also its indicating same(SAP_TREX_02 (Stopped)). I tried to connect http://<host-name>:30205/TREXHttpServer/TrexIsapiExt.dll, but its giving error as,
Error occurred when connecting to the server!
Description: Can't connect to the server.
Server: <host-ip>:30205
Additional info: Error code: 10061
Proxy+ 3.00 (Build #232), Date: Wed, 07 May 2008 19:11:59 GMT
I'm not able to get why http server is not able to get up. Please help me to resolve this problem. Waiting for some quick response.
Thanks in advance,
Ganpati Jha

Hi,
do you configured TREX server in EP ?
You must configure the TREX name server in Visual Admin, to point to TREX.
Your error message say "Server: <host-ip>:30205", what is <host-ip>? I think that is the problem, it must be your server name.
Check this:

Post XML from HTTPs server

How do I get the HTTPs server to send/post the XML file to user's mailbox?
The situation is like this: User from System A need to send XML file to User in System B. These 2 can't communicate directly.So the XML file will be posted to an HTTPs server. This HTTPs server will then post the XML to the recipient based on the mailboxid. This mailboxid is specified in the XML. How do i send the XML to the designated mailbox?

You write something that runs on the server, receives
the uploaded XML file, attaches it to an e-mail
message, and sends that message. Since you ask in the
Java context, that something could be a servlet. (You
will notice that this applies equally well to files
that aren't XML.)Hi there! Thanks for the feedback. So I need to create a servlet in the HTTPs server which upon receiving of the XML file, servlet need to read the XML content to get the mailboxid then attach the XML file to that mailboxid? All these can be done in one servlet? Please correct me id I'm wrong. Your feedback is highly appreciated. Thanks..:)

Advice on setting up a HTTP server for APEX

Hi Experts,
I'm very busy to setup an application in APEX, and we're about to deploy it on our production servers.
Database side is fine, but I got some questions about the HTTP server.
(I come from an engineering background, working with databases for a couple of years but the whole HTTP world is pretty new for me).
- What is the best option for HTTP server?
I've been testing apex_listener stand-alone now, and under GlassFish server.
When we move to production, I'm looking at:
- max 10 concurrent users
- windows 2003 based webserver
- APEX 4.1
- oracle 10.2
- After we installed APEX on the database server, do we have to keep the apex files available, or can I just remove it?
(I know I need the apex\images folder on the webserver).

Hi JP,
- What is the best option for HTTP server?
I've been testing apex_listener stand-alone now, and under GlassFish server.The standalone mode is intended to be used for development/testing purposes only. If you plan a productive deployment, use a "full-blown" JEE server. GlassFish is one option. If it's the one you'll want depends on your production scenario and your previous experiences with JEE servers. You'll get a full list of all officially supported JEE servers in the requirements section of the Installation Guide.
- After we installed APEX on the database server, do we have to keep the apex files available, or can I just remove it?
(I know I need the apex\images folder on the webserver).You can simply remove the installation package, though you might want to keep a few files for maintenance/development tasks, e.g. the apxchpwd.sql in order to be reset the password for the APEX internal ADMIN, and the contents of apex\utilities if you ever have to reset the images prefix or want to use the java-based APEX export for command line/script based export of (multiple) APEX applications.

Logon Problem in to third party HTTP Server using HTTP Adapter

Hi All,
I am trying to use a receiver HTTP Adapter to communicate to third party asp based Webserver.
The Server expects the content type as application/x-www-form-urlencoded.
So, in the HTTP receiver communication channel I gave content type as application/x-www-form-urlencoded. The Problem is that now we are getting logon error message from the application though we use the correct user and password provided by them.
They have given us a HTTP test tool which is perfectly working with the user ad password used in PI HTTP Adapter receiver channel.
kindly share your thoughts on this issue.
Thanks in advance.
Regards,
Sudharshan N A

Satish,
I have used Non-SAP logon only..
I doubt that the problem may be due to some encoding issue.. since the webserver expects a different Content type (application/x-www-form-urlencoded).
I donno if my doubt is logical
thanks.

Sudharshan N A

You have the xml file in the jar so it is a resource?

XML Database HTTP Server Log files

I'm using Oracle 10g Express with Apex 4.0 and need to take a look at what would be the Apache error and access logs. Does anyone know how to access them?

Hi,
I'm not quite sure , but I think EPG do not produce that kind logs by default.
Something you can see from listener.log and other database logs.

Oracle XDB HTTP Server?

Hi,
Version: 11.1.0.6 - Linux
I have configured the Apex installation to use the Oracle XML DB HTTP Server and everything is working fine.
I also understand that this XML DB HTTP server is running in the database.
Just wanted to know if I could find the path of this HTTP server and where it is running in the linux box on which this DB is installed.
Could somebody please help me with this information.
Regards,
Jitesh

Hi Prabodh,
The path is the http://host_name:port/apex is the url to access the apex application.
Ex: If I am using an Apache server, then I would have a path for this Apache server on my linux machine.
Since, my current scenario deals with a XDB HTTP server inside the DB, just wanted to know that does this HTTP server have a path where I could access it on the linux machine as well.

Oracle.xml.xsql.XSQLServlet in Java Web Server 2.0

Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks!

Rani,
The following is part of a message that was posted back on Nov. 7 of '99 from Steve Muench. I just followed this exactly with the Java Web Server 1.0.1 and it worked fine (including adding the classpath settings and xsql servlet mappings as it says below). Thanks,Dan
Here's the steps I just followed to run all the XSQL Demos under JSWDK 1.0.1
(1) Downloaded jswdk1_0_1-win.zip from Sun
(2) Installed in D:\jswdk-1.0.1
(3) Edited "startserver.bat" to add the
classpath entries needed by XSQL Servlet:
set CLASSPATH=%CLASSPATH%;d:\xsql\lib
set CLASSPATH=%CLASSPATH%;d:\xsql\lib\classes111.zip
set CLASSPATH=%CLASSPATH%;d:\xsql\lib\oraclexsql.jar
set CLASSPATH=%CLASSPATH%;d:\xsql\lib\oraclexmlsql.jar
set CLASSPATH=%CLASSPATH%;d:\xsql\lib\xmlparserv2.jar
(4)Edited d:/jswdk-1.0.1/webpages/WEB-INF/servlets.properties and added the line:
xsql.code=oracle.xml.xsql.XSQLServlet
(5) Edited d:/jswdk-1.0.1/webpages/WEB-INF/mappings.properties
and added the line:
.xsql=xsql
(6) Copied D:\xsql\demo to D:/jswdk-1.0.1/webpages/xsql/demo
(7) Started the Webserver with "startserver.bat"
(8) Browsed http://localhost:8080/xsql/demo/index.html
(9) Exercised all the demos.
Hope this helps.

Oracle database (10.2.0.4) and HTTP server / HTML DB conflict

Hi there,
I installed a fresh 10.2.0.1 (patched with 10.2.0.4) oracle database on Oracle Entreprise linux 5.7, and HTTP server + HTML DB products from the companion CD. Both are located in different home directory:
ODB: $ORACLE_BASE/product/10.2.0/db_1
APEX: $ORACLE_BASE/product/10.2.0/apex
I just discovered that logs files ($APEX/opmn/logs/) have filled up my entire disk this week end. After some googling / digging, I've read that there is a conflict between the ONS services that run for both products on the same port. Opening the configuration files of both products:
+$ODB/opnm/conf/ons.config+
+$APEX/opnm/conf/opnm.xml+ (btw, ons.conf is empty)
I indeed saw that they both use port 6113 as local port and 6200 as remote port. The workaround I've found in variuos places is to either change the port number, or unsuscribe ONS for the database listener (and sometimes both).
Question 1: what is the best solution ? what are the consequences for the database listener in case of unsuscribtion ?
I also saw that opnm.xml in APEX configuration file is making use of the $ORACLE_HOME environment variable, which I define in my /etc/profile as $ORACLE_BASE/product/10.2.0/db_1. So I guess the opnm of APEX is looking at the wrong place... Yet if I change ORACLE_HOME in my /etc/profile, I won't be able to run dbstart upon stgartup, as it is run using ORACLE_HOME in a init.d script...
Question 2: Can someone clarify things up about the exact relationship between oracle database and HTTP server ? How should I deal with ORACLE_HOME environment variable, which one use it and when... ?
Note that I'm completely new to Oracle (and hence APEX).
Thanks in advance!

Billy Verreynne wrote:
There should be no conflicts - except for configuration ones.
Oracle is multi home capable. Thus multiple Oracle s/w products installed into different homes and these products running side by side.
The conflict is system resources - like a TCP port. That port cannot be shared by multiple processes. So you need to make sure that each s/w component that needs a TCP listener end-point, has a unique port number allocated for it to use.
As mentioned, the Oracle Apache server is an Oracle client with respect to Oracle client-server architecture. It simply needs a client OCI driver to connect to the Oracle database instance. So whether you run Oracle Apache on the same server as the database instance, or on another server all together - this makes no difference. The Oracle Apache s/w will be using its home for running. It has no need for anything from the database instance's home directory. Thus there are no conflicts - as long as you correctly keep them separated and not set the wrong home for the wrong component or include the wrong path (to another home's executables).
OK, so to summarize a bit:
- I should just be carefull when running startup script which will launch all services upon startup, i.e. changing the value of ORACLE_HOME before running each product startup script (dbstart => ORACLE_HOME = (..)/10.2.0/db_1, opmnctl => ORACLE_HOME = (..)/apex). I'm still quite worried because ORACLE_HOME is heavily used in opmn.xml but anyways.
- That's basically it: when each product's services are running, they do not use ORACLE_HOME (and such) anymore, hence no conflict from this point of view.
Also do not attempt to use IPC connectivity between the mod_plsql Apache module and the database instance. Does not make sense ito performance. Shared server should be considered and localhost TCP connectivity can be used.Well as I don't really know IPC yet, so hopefully I won't get into troubles. Just to be clear about that, i've this in my listener.ora:
SID_LIST_LISTENER =
(SID_LIST =
(SID_DESC =
(SID_NAME = PLSExtProc)
(ORACLE_HOME = /opt/oracle/app/oracle/product/10.2.0/db_1)
(PROGRAM = extproc)
LISTENER =
(DESCRIPTION_LIST =
(DESCRIPTION =
(ADDRESS = (PROTOCOL = IPC)(KEY = EXTPROC1))
(ADDRESS = (PROTOCOL = TCP)(HOST = apex.nwk)(PORT = 1521))
Does that mean that ICP will be used somehow ?
Thanks again from your help.

Oracle HTTP Server download bandwidth limited on Windows 2003 Server

Hi,
we have an ApEx application with the following configuration on the server:
OS: Windows 2003 Server 64Bit
DB: 10.2.0.3 64bit
HTTP Server: the one that comes on the companion CD of Oracle DB 10g 32 bit
and after the bandwidth in the datacenter where the server resides was increased, I discovered a problem related to the server download bandwidth. I found on Metalink a Note [568075.1 - HTTP Server File Download Speed Is Slow |https://metalink2.oracle.com/metalink/plsql/ml2_documents.showDocument?p_database_id=NOT&p_id=568075.1] , but unfortunately not a very clear resolution given the fact that we use Oracle DB SEOne, so options 1 & 2 will involve additional licenses costs.
I tried option 3 suggested in the note by using the HTTP Server that comes with 11g (I assume this is a supported configuration also from licenses point of view HTTP Server from 11g on top of Oracle DB 10g) and I got a boost in performance but the bandwidth is still 70% compared to the bandwidth I get when downloading from the IIS on the same server.
Has anyone went through this exercise and found a solution for fully using the server bandwidth without needing to go for option 4 in the note, using Linux :), as in our case this will involve again additional licenses and/or hardware costs as the HTTP Server that comes with the DB has to be installed on the machine where the DB is installed?
Thanks in advance,
Florin

Ooops ... things like this happen with Oracle Support, no answer?
Can you tell me anyway the SR number or the SR title so that I can write it in the SR I make? Like that maybe Oracle Support will work harder on the case, as there are more customers hitting the same problem.
Anyway in the meanwhile, I run some tests with the original Apache and this one works like a charm even in Windows 2003 Server. What remains now to be done is to use the Open Source Apache as proxy to the HTTP Server, as it looks like it handles much better the static content, it supports also mod_gzip or mod_deflate, but does not support mod_plsql :(. So I think the combination of the two: will do the work for me, but it is really a pity that I have to configure 2 web servers because the HTTP Server has flaws in it :(. Hopefully these will be fixed soon

Oracle.xml.sql.OracleXMLSQLException:Cannot enable auto commit within JTS transaction

Hi All,
OracleXMLSave class in the Oracle XDK is being used to load XML data into an 8170 database. The Java code is running in IBM WebSphere with container-managed transactions. When JTA is enabled with the Merant JDBC driver for Oracle, we get the following error when the XML is loaded:
oracle.xml.sql.OracleXMLSQLException: Cannot enable auto commit within JTS
transaction
     at java.lang.Throwable.fillInStackTrace(Native Method)
     at oracle.xml.sql.dml.OracleXMLSave.saveXML(OracleXMLSave.java:2213)
     at oracle.xml.sql.dml.OracleXMLSave.insertXML(Compiled Code)
This suggests the OracleXMLSave class is not aware of the fact that it is now operating in a JTS transaction where control is managed elsewhere. i.e. should also not attempt to commit or rollback, as this is the responsibility of the container.
Is there a property which needs to set to prevent the above or does the XDK not work with J2EE (JTS) transactions?.
If you have any useful comments, let me know. Testing the above presents me with a number of problems so if this is easily explained , let me know.
Thanks,
Malcolm

Clearly , there does seem to be something a bit odd with the above stack.
<Bug:1917808> mentions OracleXMLSave in context of plsql equivalent : dbms_xmlsave . i.e dbms_xmlsave is a wrapper around OracleXMLSave class.
disabling autocommit on connection as follows should help:
conn = DriverManager.getConnection("connect string","scott","tiger");
conn.setAutoCommit(false);
to disble auto commit and see if this has an effect.
This issue might be <Bug:1497506>. If disabling autocommit does not work then it appears that it could be this issue .
