Specifing application ALIAS in XE version of ApEx

How and where do you specify the following alias command in XE when there is no marvel.conf or dads.conf file?
alias /myapp/ http://127.0.0.1:8080/pls/htmldb/f?p=100:1
URL= http://127.0.0.1:8080/myapp
thanks
Paul Platt

If anyone else is interested in a solution/workaround to this, then go to the following thread in the XE discussion group.. You may need a logon though...use your OTN UN/PW
Setting up a simple URL alias for ApEx application.  No marvel.conf file???

    You can use substitution string #APP_VERSION# in page templates.

  • "Add to bookmarks - button" for application with application alias

    How to make "add to bookmarks - button" to login page of the application with the application alias?
    The idea is to ensure that end-users are storing the application alias to bookmarks rather than the direct link to application id which might change.
    rgrds Paavo

    Jari, here are some of my trials hosted now in apex.oracle.com. All url's to be bookmarked are "hardcoded" in to the login page html-header's javascript function.
    Sample db application - url with workspace name.
    http://apex.oracle.com/pls/apex/f?p=COM_ORACLE_APEX_PRODUCT_PORTAL:LOGIN:0&c=PAAVO_POC
    - the LOGIN alias defaults to login page
    - the session id is = 0 as recommended here: http://docs.oracle.com/cd/E23903_01/doc/doc.41/e21674/concept_url.htm#HTMDB03020
    - workspace name is actually Internal in the administration so omitting workspace name leads to error " Error The application alias "COM_ORACLE_APEX_PRODUCT_PORTAL" can not be converted to a unique application ID. ", perhaps other workspaces have also the same sample app alias
    - so used the PAAVO_POC as workspace name (got it during registration)
    - LOGIN page HTML-header is:
    <script type="text/javascript">
    function bookmark()
    window.external.AddFavorite("http://apex.oracle.com/pls/apex/f?p=COM_ORACLE_APEX_PRODUCT_PORTAL:LOGIN:0&c=PAAVO_POC","COM_ORACLE_APEX_PRODUCT_PORTAL in ws paavo_poc");
    </script>- LOGIN page HTML Body attribute is:
    <form>
    <input type="button" onclick="bookmark()" value="Bookmark me">
    </form>- tried to also add "Click here to bookmark me" button in the login region with the following code (couldn't figure out how to do button for this via apex developer)
    <form>
    <input type="button" onclick="bookmark()" value="Click here to bookmark me">
    </form>- login doesn't work anymore
    Copy of the same sample application but with more different / more unique alias and without the "Click here to bookmark me" button in the Login-region.
    http://apex.oracle.com/pls/apex/f?p=paavos_product_portal:LOGIN:0&c=PAAVO_POC
    - the bookmark could be stored without workspace name, but it might break if the same app. alias name appears in some other workspace http://apex.oracle.com/pls/apex/f?p=paavos_product_portal:LOGIN:0
    - login works now because no hassling with the button-code in the Login-region :)
    Then fresh new application with the following URL's and with the same symptoms.
    http://apex.oracle.com/pls/apex/f?p=POCTEST_NO_B_BUTTON:LOGIN:0&c=PAAVO_POC
    http://apex.oracle.com/pls/apex/f?p=poctest:LOGIN:0&c=PAAVO_POC
    - Enter with "demo" and "ApexIsGood". Please don't kill my workspace with lots of 'fishes' :).
    It would be good to have the URL constructed dynamically e.g. fetching the application_alias_name and the correct workspace to be used.
    In perfect world it would also be good to have feature in for redirecting the user from old version to production 'application alias' with dynamic action requesting the user to update his/her bookmark.
    But as said I am bit stuck ..

  • How to change the application alias for a web project in NW7.2

    Hi,
    a simple question, but I could not manage to solve it: How do I change the application alias (the url) of a web project? I'm using Netweaver 7.2 and all the tutorials I found refer to earlier versions and do not work anymore.
    In particular, I would like to change e.g. "server.com/vendor~webbappname" (the standard url of the web project) to "server.com/mywebapp".
    Thanks in advance for your help!

    Hi,
    Try customizing the <context-root> element in the web.xml deployment descriptor, for example:
    <?xml version="1.0" encoding="ASCII"?>
    <application xmlns="http://java.sun.com/xml/ns/javaee"
               xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance"
               xsi:schemaLocation="http://java.sun.com/xml/ns/javaee
              http://java.sun.com/xml/ns/javaee/application_5.xsd"
               version="5">
               <display-name>YourWebApp</display-name>
               <module>
                   <web>
                   <web-uri>YourWebApp.war</web-uri>
                   <context-root>mywebapp</context-root>
              </web>
         </module>
         <module>
              <ejb>YourWebAppEjb.jar</ejb>
         </module>
    </application>
    Afterwards, rebuild and redeploy your application.
    I hope that helps.

  • Allowing a user to upgrade a specific Application

    We have a specific application that we install on all of our mobile computers. Our newest is the Microsoft 8.1 Professional with an attached keyboard. The issues that we are facing have all been resolved with the exception of one.
    The application is installed as the administrator and the user is a basic user with no real privileges. We gave the user full access to the folders that are created and would like to have the users to be able to update this application when newer versions
    are released.
    The Windows XP systems were performing this without fail but Windows 8 is telling me that the user does not have the appropriate permissions to install as All Users. I have spent a lot of time in GPO and still being denied. Can anyone offer assistance on
    this?

    Hi,
    This happens on Windows 8 not on windows XP, because there is a User Account Control setting in Windows 8 User Account Control (UAC) helps prevent malicious programs (also called malware) from damaging a computer and helps organizations deploy a better-managed
    desktop. With UAC, applications and tasks always run in the security context of a non-administrator account. So, a consent prompt will show up when you try to install an application with a standard user, the detailed information can be found at Microsoft:
    http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/jj574202.aspx
    So, the suggestion is add the standard user to the administrator group, then your can check the result.

  • [Solved] How to use Oracle Java 6 for specific applications

    I use an IDE called PyCharm. On its download page, it recommends using Java 6 instead of OpenJDK. I currently have jdk7-openjdk installed, and from what I had read in the Arch Wiki on Java, it should be possible to install Oracle Java 6 along side OpenJDK 7.
    However, after installing jdk6-compat and jre6-compat, I still see that I am running OpenJDK 7 when I run the following:
    % java -version
    java version "1.7.0_09"
    OpenJDK Runtime Environment (IcedTea7 2.3.3) (ArchLinux build 7.u9_2.3.3-1-x86_64)
    OpenJDK 64-Bit Server VM (build 23.2-b09, mixed mode)
    ...even after I have set JAVA_HOME and added /opt/java6/bin to my path.
    How can I get PyCharm (or other applications) to use Oracle Java 6 instead of OpenJDK?
    Thanks, and apologies if I've posted in the wrong place.

    Last edited by Nikorasu (2012-11-17 20:54:33)

    I found the solution.
    For Pycharm, I just needed to add an environment variable PYCHARM_JDK. For running specific applications, I asked this question on the Unix / Linux StackExchange and got an answer there.
    Also, after running PyCharm in Java 6... I would not recommend it. OpenJDK works fine

  • Report Bug: Application Alias Issue

    Hi,
    I have a unique problem of Application Alias not working. For a particular application only this happens. For all other Application in this DB it works nicely.
    I am using ApEx 3.0.1
    Regards
    Rana

    Rana,
    You have not described your problem in sufficient detail for posting to a technical forum. Also you present (and probably do not have) evidence that supports your claim that your problem is unique. Why would it be? Please explain the situation fully and create a demonstration on apex.oracle.com, if you can.

  • Application alias shows up only when logged in as SYS

    Oracle 11gR2
    APEX 4.2.3
    RHEL 6.3
    select *
    from   apex_applications
    where  workspace = 'MY_WORKSPACE';
    -- 0 rows
    When logged into APEX as a user with a workspace assigned (MY_WORKSPACE) that contains an application (and an application alias), no rows are returned when given the application alias in the query above (see the above SQL).
    But log in as SYS and the application alias is there -- i.e. a row is returned.
    What could be causing this?

    Many dictionary views limit rows returned by level of access.
    For instance, schema owners will only see applications related to the workspace their associated with.
    Some views won't let you see any rows unless you're querying via APEX (not SQL Developer), eg: apex_application_files

  • You can't use this version of the application Mail with this version of Mac

    I just installed 10.6 and all seemed well until I tried to load Mail. I got this response
    "You can't use this version of the application Mail with this version of Mac You have Mail 3.5".
    I successfully reinstalled 10.6 and I also reloaded the apps that were contained in another folder on the CD. I get the same message every time I try to load the Mail program. I deleted the "mail plist" file and that did not work. So I recovered my old one from Time Machine. Still dead!
    My poor wife is so frustrated that she is now using my machine!!! HELP PLEASE!

    I successfully reinstalled 10.6 and I also reloaded the apps that were contained in another folder on the CD.
    Why would you "reload" any apps? They should have been installed when you installed 10.6. Where exactly did you reload them from?
    So I recovered my old one from Time Machine.
    ...which undoubtedly still contained the old copy of Mail from your last Leopard backup, and not the current version of Mail that should have been installed with 10.6.
    What you need to do is reinstall the appropriate version of Mail from your Snow Leopard install disk. You can install one specific program from the install disk using [Pacifist|http://www.charlessoft.com> - though, check carefully to make sure it's been cleared for use with the Snow Leopard install disk!
    Whether that will fix your problem or not, I don't know, as I don't know what exactly you've done. It sounds like you've done a lot of things you should not have done, mixing components of your older system into your newer system. It is entirely possible you will need to reinstall the entire system.

  • What is the version of APEX that comes with DB 11.2.0.2?

    What is the version of APEX that comes with DB 11.2.0.2? Is it 4.0?
    Where can I confirm this, is there a list of DB features and versions for 11.2.0.2?
    Am I correct in thinking there currently a patch for Apex 4.0.2.?
    Thanks
    Will

    Hi Will,
    I believe APEX 3.2 is still shipped with Oracle 11g but I could be wrong.
    All the documentation regarding 11g r2 can be found at:

  • Resusing Country Specific Application - GT

    Hello,
    We need to setup Guatemala for all the Personal Information iViews, and we would like to reuse Mexico for this. The steps I followed were:
    1) Assign Screen Structure to Infotype Version
    2) Define Active Subtypes and Use Case
    3) Country Specific Applications
    After this, when I changes my ID to GT PERNR and logged back in to Mexico, the Adddress & Personal Data works fine but not Family Members/Dependants. This iView does not recognize the already exisiting record son the GT emloyee's IT21  and when I click on create new record, it throws a Java Null Pointer Exception.
    Any ideas on this?
    Thanks,
    Nakul

    Deepak,
    Thanks You!! Solved issue!
    Another question I have while on this topic... The closest we could get to Guatemala (GT) was Mexico (MX). And if you think about it, MX is the only country in LAN for which SAP has provided iViews. Although MX works fine for GT for IT2 and IT6, we cant get it to work for IT21, because the screens of MX and GT are very different in IT21. Any ideas on how we can resolve this issue?
    Another thing to consider is, we do not use IT21 for GT, but we would haet for the GT employees to go in there and see an ugly error message.
    Any thoughts?
    Thanks,
    nakul

  • How to import updated version of APEX app without losing saved IR's?

    Oracle XE 11.2
    Apex 4.1
    Linux Red Hat 5.4
    ============
    Does anyone have suggestions on how to import updated version of APEX app without losing saved IR's?
    Also, I want to maintain app id from update to update (from revision to revision). In fact, I think that that is required in order to keep the saved IR's.
    The only process I have found that seems to "work" (i.e. loads new revision of app over old revision of app) is the following (via SQL*Plus):
    declare
    l_workspace_id number;
    begin
    select workspace_id into l_workspace_id
    from apex_workspaces
    where workspace = 'MYWORKSPACE';
    apex_application_install.set_application_id(400);
    apex_application_install.set_workspace_id(l_workspace_id);
    apex_application_install.generate_offset;
    apex_application_install.set_schema('MYSCHEMA' );
    apex_application_install.set_application_alias( 'MYSCHEMA_ALIAS' );
    end;
    @new_version_of_app.sql;
    but I do not have any saved reports in this app. Will this process keep the saved IR's from the previous version of the app 'intact'?
    Thanks.

    Hi,
    I cope with the same issue.
    But I've several prod instances and many applications on each of these... and SIR saved by many users.
    Of course each prod application have its own ID, distinct from the dev application ID.
    Is there really not any kind of solution in my case (apart from release the dev app on the dev workspace ; export 50 apps from it and import those 50 times, maybe more in the futur) ?
    I'd be a pity if not, I think there must be a lot of us working in that configuration.
    Thanks !

  • Using Application Alias in URL

    hi all,
    I wanted to use application alias name in URL of my application while running. I wrote an application alias in application definition, and tried to run it using its alias.

Can anyone help me in this that what i am missing here? How can i use application alias on every tab click.??

You'll have to look at mod_rewrite in Apache to achieve what you want. There's a Oracle Application Express (APEX) usage.

  • Full version of Apex vs. Runtime general question

    Hello,
    We have three environments, Dev, Test and Production. We have the full version of Apex installed under Dev and have developed an application. Our site is behind firewall and only internal users with Oracle user_id will have access into Apex application(s). Oracle recommends to install the runtime version of Apex on Test and Prod. But as I gathered reading some posts and replies in Apex Forum noticed it is quiet of task moving developed applications from Dev to runtime environment.
    Would it make more sense for our environment to install the full version of Apex into our Test and Prod? If not is there any good documentation around that I can access of how to do this?
    Thanks so very much for any info

    Last time I checked, that page did link to full installers. The format of the links for Windows was:
    https://download.mozilla''.''org/?product=firefox-'''36.0.4-SSL'''&os=win&lang=en-US
    I have bolded the part that currently says '''stub'''. Hand-crafted links in that form still work (but I have broken the link in this post with my formatting).
    I don't have personal knowledge of what's going on with the "all" download page and hope it changes back.
    As for blaming this forum for anything having to do with the "all" download page, you must be kidding. That page was always available from the main page using a link that said Systems & Languages and as the link says, it lists all the available systems and languages.
