Scanning through Apex

Hi All,
I need to Scan an Image through APEX.
1. Am having a form(based on a table) containing basic information capturing items about Image.
2. After completing the data entry, i will click on a Scan Button in the APEX Form.
3. After that button click, my scanner should scan the image in it.
4. Then i need to map that scanned image in the APEX Form to save that as a BLOB content in my table along with
that image's basic information.
Can anyone please help me in completing this?
Thanks,
Sakthi.

Sakthi,
I don't believe it's possible to interact with a user's hardware (well, other than sending pages to the printer, and even then you can't avoid the standard printer selection dialog box) through a webpage. That'd be a significant security hole.

Which multifunction Laser printer (MFP) for Lion? - need multipage scanning through automatic document feeder

Hi all,
I'd love to get your advice on what MFP laser printer to buy.
I need:
- Laser color PRINTING for a small business (+/- 1500 pages per month)
- SCANNING, preferably easy multipage scanning through the automatic document feeder
Optionally:
- 2nd paper feed tray
I think of buying the HP Color LaserJet CM2320fxi, but there seem to be plenty of compatibility issues with Lion (e.g. scan to network folder does not work on Lion).
I'd love to hear about success or failure of MFP on Lion from HP, Brother, Xerox, Lexmark, etc...
Thx for your advace,
S.

I can recommend the Canon MF8380C. It has a document feeder that supports duplex scanning to Lion, either via Image Capture or Preview or 3rd party application like Acrobat Pro. You can also push scan documents from the machine by first configuring the scan settings using the Canon MF Toolbox that gets installed on the Mac.
The print quality is good for office documents, but not that accurate for colour proofing. It uses Canon's proprietary UFR2 v2.30 driver of which the Lion version of this driver is available from the Canon web.
As for the monthly volume, 1500 pages per month is the maximum recommended volume, so not sure if this would suit your business needs. It's recommended monthly volume is 800 colour pages.

When I open iTunes or even change a preference, iTunes scans through all of my apps. How can I stop this?

To get straight to the point, whenever I open iTunes or close a pop-up from iTunes, it starts scanning through my collection of applications. This has slowly got on my patient nerve. It wasn't always this was. Before I transfered all my data from my Mac to Pc, it worked fine. So I am wondering what is it doing, and how can I stop this. Bare in mind I have alot of apps. Thanks in advance for the help!
Sincerely,
Tarellano

You can only use the German iTunes/App store if you are located in Germany. The German store is in the German language.

Uploading Documents to Another Database Through APEX

Hi,
I am trying to find a solution for uploading documents through APEX, but storing them in a database on a different server other than the server where apex is installed.
I am unable to use DBLINK, because we are needing to pass a BLOB column. We have also looked into the DAD, but it only allows for one database connection for the APEX instance. I am pondering with creating a database connection to the other database when needing to upload a document, but not certain if that is the most efficient way.
I am wanting to know if there is a way to upload documents (BLOBS) through APEX that is installed on DATABASE A, but store the documents in DATABASE B?
Thanks,
Keisha

Ok...up front warning...this is a bit klugey but, it does work.
In the APEX database:
Create the table (with the BLOB column) to which you will upload the documentsWe're going to get them to the remote DB but, for reasons that will become apparent shortly, they need to go here first.
In the Remote database:
Create a DB Link to the APEX database.
Create a Materialized View that selects from table with the the BLOB column in the APEX database
In the APEX database:
Create a local synonym that points to the DBMS_REFRESH package in the Remote database.For this example, we'll name the synonym REMOTE_DBMS_REFRESH
Create a PL/SQL procedure that does the following:
Upload the document to the APEX database
Fire the REFRESH method for the MV that you created using REMOTE_DBMS_REFRESH
Remote the data from the APEX database
For whatever reason, the restriction to copy LOB data over the link is by passed when using a Materialized View.

Scan through the records in the Form and display the message!

Hello Everyone,
We have a requirement, I do not know how to achieve it.
In a Forms 6i, 2 fields Type, Comment.
Type is a list of Values (1,2,3)
Comment - Free Text Field.
User can enter as much rows of data, but while user saves the data we have to validate that all the records of Same Type(Say 1). If not we have to display a Message.
So how to achieve this? How to scan through the records in the Form. Any comments on it would be great.
Thanks.

User can enter as much rows of data, but while user saves the data we have to validate that all the records of Same Type(Say 1). If not we have to display a Message.I am assuming that you want to check from the first record. Suppose in first record the user coosed 1 and you will check for all the entries for 1.
Couple of ways to do this.
1. While user is entering first record. You can keep that selected type value in GLOBAL variable and while he is entering further records you can match type with that global variable. If it is not matching then you can display message.
2. On KEY-COMMIT trigger you can start loop from first record and can check for all the records one by one. Like.
DECLARE
vVal DATATYPE;
BEGIN
GO_BLOCK('BLOCK_NAME');
FIRST_RECORD;
vVal:=:FORM_TYPE_FIELD;
LOOP
    IF vVal!=:FORM_TYPE_FIELD THEN
      MESSAGE(..);
      EXIT;
    END IF;
    EXIT WHEN :SYSTEM.LAST_RECORD='TRUE';
    NEXT_RECORD;
END LOOP;
END;I would go for earlier approach and will use WHEN-VALIDATE-ITEM / PRE-INSERT for type field for this purpose. Because in KEY-COMMIT the system is doing same thing again.

Weird quirk in itunes, scanning through a song..

when iTunes is in full screen mode if you hold down the forward button it scans through the song just fine, but when you have the mini player displayed, when you hold the forward button it scans for about a second then goes to playing normal. It wont scan through a song.
Has anyone else experienced this, or can anyone verify this?
1.42ghz mini Mac OS X (10.4.5) 1 gb ram, 17" dell, 250 gb external

never mind, seems to be fixed.

MF4890dw not scanning through wireless

I use iMac with OSX 10.9.2. I installed latest version of MF Toolbox, upgraded the firmware to 15.04. I can scan with USB. Wireless works because I can print with wireless. However, when I disconnect USB and try to scan through wireless network, either from iMac or from MF4890dw, it will scan the first page and hangs for a while, then MF2890 will show "An error has occurred [close]" and the computer will pop up an error window:
"Cannot communicate with the scanner.
The cable may be disconnected, or the scanner may be turned off.
Check the scanner status and try again.
Scanner driver will be terminated.
Error code: 200010"
MF4890dw is communicating with iMac because it will scan the first page and it will tell me to put paper in the feeder.
Any help is appreciated.

I'm having the same error on my 4880 wireless. It previews the scan but it comes up with that **bleep** error. Why hasn't the tech responded? Clearly his generic answer didn't help.

ABAP Service: Scanning through HTML

Dear ABAP community,
Iu2019m thinking about a method to scan through HTML code of an specified URL.
The idea is to scan the HTML content by a search term; so I need a function to get the data of the page specified by a URL and scan this page.
Is there any method/function in ABAP?
Thanks for your feedback.
Best regards,
Kurt.

Hello to all,
a colleague of mine found a very good solution to scan a page provided by an appropriated URL:
data: lv_html   type string,
        lv_url    type string.
* Create client
call method cl_http_client=>create_by_url
    exporting
      url                = lv_url
    importing
      client             = lv_client
    exceptions
      argument_not_found = 1
      plugin_not_active = 2
      internal_error     = 3
      others             = 4.
if sy-subrc ne 0.
    message id sy-msgid type sy-msgty number sy-msgno
      with sy-msgv1 sy-msgv2 sy-msgv3 sy-msgv4.
endif.
* Get request:
call method lv_client->send
    exceptions
      http_communication_failure = 1
      http_invalid_state         = 2
      http_processing_failed     = 3
      others                     = 4.
if sy-subrc ne 0.
    message id sy-msgid type sy-msgty number sy-msgno
      with sy-msgv1 sy-msgv2 sy-msgv3 sy-msgv4.
endif.
* Prepare client-receive:
lv_client->receive( exceptions others = 1 ).
* Get HTML:
lv_html = lv_client->response->get_cdata( ).
* Sesrch for a string in HTML:
if not pa_find is initial.
    find first occurrence of pa_find in lv_html in character mode ignoring case.
    if sy-subrc eq 0.
    endif.
endif.
Best regards,
Kurt.

Scanning through time capsule usb

I have a Canon Pixma MP 760 which I love and it prints through my USB Time Capsule connection. Is there anyway to get it to scan through that connection.

Yes.. you must use it locally.. The very nature of a USB device is that it is not a network device.. it is local device.. plugging into the TC fudged the network for printing.. although it fails as often as it succeeds but the scan side is very specifically local device..
Next time you buy a printer buy a printer with network functionality.. printers btw are cheap.. it is toner and inks that are expensive.. it therefore can be well worth just buying a new printer if you want something that has network scanning ability.. make sure what you buy is airprint compatible.. and has excellent software for the Mac. Brother is good.. Samsung seems to be good.. I stick to old office type HP with postscript.. !!

Need help setting up color scanning through Adobe 9 pro

Unable to set-up the color scanning through adobe 9 pro, need help!

Obviously, FireWire is a fast connection, but for changing metadata, USB is plenty fast. Why it takes so long is anyones guess. Is it a USB 2.0 drive? Using external drives can be tricky. My father uses them for his gigantic library of almost 80,000 songs. When you have it setup properly, it works fine, but if you say forgot to have the external drive mounted when you launch iTunes, iTunes defaults the library back to your Music folder, then when you start importing, it puts in on the internal drive, then you have to go back and reset it, etc. Problem, with iTunes alone, you can only set one library, so if you want to use two drives, you will have to have one set at any given time.
So you could set the music one first, add to the library, then set it for movies, then add those to the library. Then keep the library set to the one you use most frequently, so you don't have to always switch. Once you import all media, and iTunes "knows" where to find the files, you can play them with no problems with two drives.
For wireless, you have a couple choices. If you have two Macs, you could keep one connected to the two drives, then with the other computer, just connect to the network and share the iTunes library so your other computer has access. If you want the music stored on a drive accessible wireless, you'll probably have to look to NAS, or some form of wireless storage. If you do that, their may even be a better third party software solution other than iTunes for managing multiple libraries.
This is something iTunes really needs. As libraries grow, one drive just isn't enough often.

Accessing 3 or 4 databases tables through apex.

Hi There,
I have a requirement, I have to create few dashboards on apex and each dashboard corresponds to different databases.
For example:
I will have a list of databases name in the first page of apex (or it could be tab name) and when I click on the specific database name, it should go to a page which has some reports based on the tables of that database like wise if I click on the other database name, it should go to a page which has some reports based on the tables of that database and so on...
Is it possible to access different databases through Apex?
If yes could you please share some documents or links demonstrating it.
Please help!!
Thanks in advance,
Pushpesh Pallav

Thank you Scott.
The other challenge I have is all the databases are on different different VPN and due to some reason I can't install all the VPN's on the apex server.
Now if I connect the apex to the other databases using dblink, it will give error as VPN will not be connected.
Is there any way the VPN's will be connected dynamically through apex or without VPN we could access the databases through apex??
Regards,
Pushpesh Pallav

MF4890dw not scanning through wireless with win7,win8.1 or OSX 10.9

When I use with win 7- 64 or win8-64, I also get the same question.
"Cannot communicate with the scanner.

Any help is appreciated.

Same problem here, with Windows 7. Appeared out of nowhere. Reinstalling drivers and MF Toolbox did not help.

Firewall Rules for Printing and Scanning through Windows Firewall

Hello,
I am having trouble determining the Ports, Programs, and Services required for printing and scanning with my AIO.
I am using Windows Firewall in Windows 7, and am only allowing certain rules in and out.
I know the firewall is the problem, for when I disable it, everything works fine.
Which rules are required for printing and scanning through the firewall?

4th Bump,
Is there anyone who can help me with this?
As I said before, other printer manufacturers such as Lexmark and Brother provide this exact information.
Why doesn't hp have a document for this? Does everyone just disable their firewall or open every port?

Creation of mdb file through Apex

Dear Friends,
I am using apex 4.1. i want to create mdb file through apex.
can any1 tell me the procedure how to make the mdb file?
Regards
Kamran

Kamran,
Why would you want to do that?
Oracle propagates Apex as being an Access killer ;-)
I don't see a possibility btw other than using lots of ODBC "create-table" queries inside your Access file.
Apex runs solely on Oracle tables due to the architecture chosen.

Richard
