Publish to Apex

Hi all,
In 1.5.1, I could not get the Publish to Apex functionality to work at all. Seems to work in 1.5.3 OK. However, I can get the popup menu choice to show up only when I am connected to my local instance. If I create a connection to the Apex "parse as" schema that owns the object on a remote server and db, I see nothing, although I do see an Application Express node and all the information about the applications. Does anybody know what controls than menu item?
Warren

Hi Sue,
It's version 1.5.0.53, on Windows.
On a custom report, when I view the results, there is a right-click menu item "Publish to APEX" on report results.
What is this option? It always seems to fail, and never asks for a connection to APEX. What can be done with this option?
I don't see this option in the article referred to. Am I missing something?
Thanks
Andy

Publish to APEX in SQL Developer

Hello:
I wrote a query in SQL Developer and I want to utilize the Publish to APEX feature.
In SQL Developer, I right-click and select Publish to APEX.
I select the workspace, enter an application, select a theme, and enter a page.
I receive a message stating that it was successful.
I then go to APEX and login in as myself into my workspace which is the same workspace I designated in SQL Developer for this publish.
At the login, I enter my username and password.
I go to Application Builder, select the new application that was published, click Run.
I'm prompted for a login, so I enter my username and password and I receive Invalid Login Credentials.
Does anyone know what is causing this issue? I am the developer. I am an administrator. I'm using the same logins I always do when working with APEX. I'm not sure why I'm receiving this message.
Can someone help me?
Thanks.

I don't think Apex is set up to accept this, but as the previous post says once you have the username/password of the underlying Oracle schema you should be able to do this. My particular case was jDeveloper and offline database objects, but the principle is the same. If you have admin access to the database go in as sys and change the password of the underlying Oracle user.

Publish to Apex - User has no privileges on the selected workspace

Apologies for this novice question,... (re: Apex 4.1.0)
I am trying to publish output from SQL Developer into Apex via the "Publish to Apex" option, but get the error:
ORA-20001: User <XXX> has no privileges on the selected workspace.
ORA-06512: at "APEX_040100.WWV_FLOW_CREATE_APP_FROM_QUERY", line 535
ORA-06512: at "APEX_040100.WWV_FLOW_API", line 14966
ORA-06512: at line 1
Is there an apex privilege I need to grant manually, or somewhere in the front end of APEX to make this work?

I can't say I've ever used that option, but based on the error, I would suggest your particular schema is not associated with the workspace you selected.
This means you need to log into the INTERNAL admin workspace and associate your schema with the desired workspace.
In the same way you can't use the Apex front end to create an application using a schema not associated with the given workspace.
Make sense?

Error while generating PDF with BI Publisher from APEX

Hi,
I am facing a problem which is intermittent.
I am generating a pdf from APEX which has been developed using BI Publisher.
I have linked the report to the APEX using report queries/report layouts in shared components.
The pdf used to open without any problems previously.But currently,I am getting the following error
"An error exists on this page.Acrobat may not display the page correctly.Please contact the person who created the pdf document to correct the document."
Once the Bi Publisher Services is restarted,I am able to generate the pdf.Again After sometime the same error pops up.
Has anybody faced the above error?
Any solution for the same.
Kindly reply.
Thanks and Regards,
K Tanna

Oracle BI Publisher with apex 3.1

Hi,
The Oracle BI publisher software is installed on the server and the apex database schema connection details are provided to generate the PDF reports.This apex schema has all the database objects created.
I have a small question regarding the schema.Is it better to create a new schema for the Oracle BI publisher?where will be the templates created via BI publisher stored?When a RTF template is created from windows doc by logging in to the BI publisher,will it create any tables in the schema on the database side?
Please suggest any document on how to effectively maintain the Oracle BI publisher.
Thanks

APEX is only using BI Publisher to transform the XML data of your report and the template you provide into PDF, Word or Excel. For this, APEX sends the XML data and the template to BI Publisher, and BI Publisher sends back to completed document. So there's nothing stored in BI Publisher, all templates, report definitions, etc are stored in the APEX schema. This has the advantage that you can reference item values and other information in your print documents, and it also ensures that you don't have to access the database again from within BI Publisher, i.e. you don't need to communicate any authentication information to BI Publisher.
Of course BI Publisher itself also provide the ability to store reports and to store templates. But those are not accessible from APEX through the built-in integration. You can however use the same templates you use for BI Publisher directly on load them into APEX for use there.
Lastly, if you want to use and print reports in both BI Publisher and your APEX applications, you can do that through web services, take a look at Tyler Muth's BLOG for more information on this topic:

Oracle BI Publisher 11g - APEX compatiblity matrix

Hi
I'm looking for information regarding Oracle BI Publisher 11g's compatibility with APEX versions.
Can the Oracle BI Publisher 11g product fully integrate with APEX 3.x or will it need a minimum APEX 4.x to work seamlessly?
Thanks
Kind Regards
Greg

Hello, Ken
Maybe you can give me some directions about Oracle BI publisher 11g installation for Apex 4.0 with Database 11g (using Configuring the Embedded PL/SQL Gateway) on 64 bit Windows 2008. The document number E10539-01 is very confusing to me. BI publisher v10.1.3.4.1 is much simpler.
Thanks in advance.

Calling BI Publisher From Apex

Does anybody have an example of an URL that calls a pdf report in BI Publisher from an Apex button.
One parameter needs to be passed in the URL, which is a page item in Apex
Cheers
Gus

Gus,
Please also take a look at our master-detail how-to document:
http://www.oracle.com/technology/products/database/application_express/packaged_apps/packaged_apps.html#PDF
This explains how to set session state prior to downloading the PDF, which is what you need if you want to "pass a parameter". So rather than actually passing a parameter in the URL, you would submit a form, set session state and then download the PDF - which to the end user would look and feel just like passing a parameter.
Regards,
Marc

Publish Oracle Apex on Sharepoint

Hi,
we're getting requirements to publish Apex applications on MS Sharepoint(which I know little about). I noticed this this discussion which mentioned the authentication issues (that part I can probably figure out). What I'm looking for is a document or any steps to do this publishing in the first place as well as any gotchas. I can access some Sharepoint resource personnel . I'm a newbie with respect to this so please be gentle :-).

Kofi,
I remember working for a company that began using SharePoint. For some reason, a higher up mandated that all applications needed to fit within the SharePoint's content area, no popups were allows.
I get the concept: one browser, better integration, bla bla bla - it was still unrealistic. SharePoint uses quite a bit of real estate on its own, so for all but the simplest of applications (one page forms) this just falls flat on it's face (unless, that is, everyone has 24 inch monitors). I suggest you just add a link that opens the APEX applications in a new window. Then integrate you application with this NTLM doc so the .NET guys will not be able to rub it in your face that people have to log in again when using APEX applications:

Please let me know if this is the cause of the issue, as in I dint make any changes in the application. Not sure, why it was working 2 days before, and not now.
The suggestion is to enable the network services on 11g oracle express.
Please let me know, how should I go with this.
Else please me know if there are any alternatives for this.
Thanks in advance.

Publishing Web Services via APEX on the horizon? WSRP? SOD?

Hi,
Are there any plans for APEX being able to "natively" publish Web Services? Maybe support for WSRP so you could publish an APEX based portlet on Oracle Portal or WebCenter?
Any news of when an updated statement of direction will be published?

Connecting APEX with local bi publisher

Hi, everyone
I have some technical difficulty with integrating bi publisher with apex and enabling pdf-printhng as well.
As far as I know, I made some mistakes in configuring apex itself.
I have apex installed at Application Server on the main server in the company and BI Publisher installed at the local workstation using BASIC installation option. Also I have entered this parameters in "Report Printing" in apex:
host: 192.168.17.157
port: 9704
and made a shared report query. But then I trying to test the query I always get message:
ORA-20001: The printing engine could not be reached because either the URL specified is incorrect or a proxy URL needs to be specified.
Please, help if someone knows what to do.

Thanks, rwillems.
All the configurations of Report printing are closely the same.
Problem is, BI publisher is installed at local machine at one network and the DB-server is in another. I think I should either contact my system administrator or reinstall publisher into Application Server (that server is in the same network with the database).
Kind Regards,
Peter

Update Column on The Database After Printing a Report Using BI Publisher

I need to update a flag on the database to say that a report has been printed. As the report is generated from the branch, I can't work out when and where to run my update process.
