Upgrade from HTMLDB 1.6 to Apex 2.2.1 -- Steps

Hi,
Does anyone know where I can download the Install software to run on HP-UX to upgrade to newer version? ...
I tried looking in the otn download center, all I get is a command line install/upgrade not the Oracle Universal Install.
If you know please include the URL...
Thanx
Vijay.

Hello Vijay,
To upgrade your HTMLDB you need to run the new version installation. The installation script will identify the existing version and will upgrade it. You run the installation script using sql-plus, and not a universal installer. You should download the distribution file, unzip it, and read the installation manual. It will give you a clear view on the process.
Regards,
Arie.

The Webserver is an IIS with Thoth-Gateway.
Anyone knows the reason of these errormessages?
thanks,

Hi Maco W.,
The Webserver is an IIS with Thoth-Gateway.
Anyone knows the reason of these errormessages?
    The upgrade is successful as it has nothing to do with Web Server, it just upgrades the database objects.
    This maybe due to you are not using a Web Server recommended by Oracle.
    Refer : https://docs.oracle.com/cd/E59726_01/install.50/e39144/overview.htm#HTMIG367
    There may be change in how APEX 5.0 handles the HTTP requests, which is not supported by IIS.
    Moreover, the developer of Thoth-Gateway(Morten Braten) may have developed it keeping APEX 4 in mind.
    Switch to Oracle Supported Web Server options given above, which will resolve your issue.
    Hope this helps!

Kiran

Migrating from htmldb 1.5 to apex 2.2.1

Hi All,
We are in the process to migrate our environments (a total of 8) to the latest version of Apex (htmldb).
In order to do that we are looking for the following documentation:
1) Bugs solved for version 1.5 in the new releases.
2) New features available that we have to be aware in order to evaluate/use them.
3) Differences in the way we have to work in v2.2.1 comparing it to v1.5. We have to train around 25 developers in the new version in order to not lose productivity.
We also are planning to migrate to the Oracle Modern Look and Feel. Is this theme included in any of the new versions of Apex?
Any suggestion to do our migration smoothly will be appreciate.
Regards
Harvey

Harvey,
As a start, you should gather and read the Release Notes and Installation documentation for version 1.6, version 2.0, and version 2.2.
You're not going to find a comprehensive bug list that goes back to 1.5.

Upgrading from Forms 6i to Forms 10g

Does Forms 10g support direct upgradation from 6i to 10g version or have to go step wise from 6i to 9i and 9i to 10g. Also suggest ways of handling the run time errors arising. Does Oracle provide some patches to facilitate a smooth transition fromo 6i to 10g.

Thanx Grant,
Can you also suggest as to what complications can arise as many built-ins in 6i have been discarded in 10g. Does the pathes available take in most part of the work in upgradation. I have around 1000 forms in 6i on a complex finance & insurance sectar. Will be pleased if you can suggest the best way of migration.
As suggested the bath mode will be the likely option as individually compiling each .FMB would be combursome.
Are there some specific de-bugging tools available.

Upgraded from APEX 3.1 to APEX 4.0.2, Interactive reports broken

I just recently upgraded from APEX 3.1 to APEX 4.0.2.
Am using IE 8.
Now whenever I click on a column header in an interactive reports I get a javascript error:
Message: Expected ')'
Line: 1
Char: 40984
Code: 0
URI: http://patchx:8080/i/javascript/apex_4_0.js
Am at my wits end on this one.
I can't see anybody else who has hit this error.
The demo application works okay.
I set up an interactive report with the same properties as the demo app, but i still get the error.
Any clues?

AHA, I just figured out what is making this happen.
I have a custom authorization scheme which calls a PLSQL function.
I had set the authorization scheme to "Once Per Page View".
This was causing the error to happen, although I still don't know why.
Unfortunately it is a problem because I need to authorize on each page.
This is because my plsql function must allow the login page authorization so we can capture the username to check against permissions. So I autmatically return true on the login page. But that means anybody can get in, because that is the once per session authorization as specified.

How to upgraded from apex 3.2.0 to 3.2.1?

H gurus,
I am using oracle 10g xe with apex 3.2.0, I would like to upgrade to 3.2.1, but I got no support and thus no access to metalink.
I did this for upgrading,
I droped user apex_030200 and then upgraded with the 3.2.1 install file, seems everythings going nice, except there's error about flow_files schema already exsited.
and I found I didn't need to upgrade the image file as well.
Is that way Ok for upgrading from 3.2.0 to 3.2.1? by far seems nothings wrong.
Peter

Hi Jarola,
Sorry, I made a mistake when I chose the ORACLE_HOME directory, I did it again to loading the images, without any more errors.
Seems I did it, nothing wrong.
But I found the bug-fix I expected is still not being fixed, that is,when I upload excel files with the utility/data_load tool, I still encounter error messages sometimes, I have to repeat and made it right.

Hi alberto,
i suppose that your application file prefix is incorrect for your application. Can you please verify that the directory specified in "Image Prefix" at Application Builder > Edit Application Properties is correct. You can test that with
http://yourdomain:yourport/<value specified in image prefix>/apex_version.txt
for example
http://apex.oracle.com/i/apex_version.txt
The application file prefix should be set to the same value you have entered during the installation of APEX 4.0?

Is this a known bug?

No more room in the system tablespace, all database users (execpt sys and system) should be set to use a tablespace that isn't system or sysaux.
XE is supposed to set default to USERS, if there's been quite a few table drops the cleaning up recyclebin could help, tt can be managed in the web GUI under utilities. Connect as system to see all deleted objects in the database, and also check that all the database users are set to default to the USERS tablespace not system ...

About upgrade from previous version of Apex to a higher version-XE

Hi,
We are using Apex based on database 10g Xe, but we found that it is not easy to upgrade to a newer version of apex, becuase we have to install the full version at every realease of a new apex.
We cannot access Metalink to find the patchsets for upgrade, will you make it easier for upgrading the xe, like, put a upgrade file in the full realease?
Or enable downloading the upgrade patchset out of Metalink?
Is that possible?
Peter

Hi John & Arie,
Thanks for your kind answers, at currently we are not considered an upgrade, becuase our database is so small, and so little end users for my apex app, I am only running a very small, not much feature apex app, and only with cocurrent users 2, total users 5. We used the app almost one year, and if I expdp the schema I am using for work, it is only 4.5MB.
It is totally my personal stuff, I found it is very effiecient, becasue otherwise I have to do the samething with MS Excel, my small app, though humble, but much better than Excel.
I may consider an upgrade if I made a success step with Bill of Material and the warehouse management, in the future, currenlty I still don't have to gut/skill to do so, I am struggling with PL/SQL now, the basic stuff.
So, I think any upgrade will be too expensive for us, and I even dreamed the printing with BI, but that is just too expensive for my humble app.
yeah, though without access of Metalink, we can still find some very good workarounds, thanks to the apex/Oracle team, and guys/girls like you that offer kind of free services at this forum.
I just did the upgrade with the full installation, I drop everything and reloaded them after upgrading.
Took me around 1.5 hours to do so.
Cheers,
Peter

Blank Login Page after Upgrade from 4.0.2 to 4.1

Greetings,
I just upgraded one of my Apex environments from 4.0.2 to 4.1. After the upgrade, I tried to access the login url and I get a blank page. Nothing on it, just a white page. However, if I do a View Source, all the html code is there. I wonder if it somehow lost where the Image, CSS and Javascript files are located. I am using the Apex Listener running under Weblogic 10.3.3. The Apex Listener was just a standard install with the image location being '/i/'. I am not sure how to debug this. Any help would be appreciated. Here is a snippit of code from the View Source.

I had the same behavior using apache mod/plsql the solution is:
a) shutdown apache (opmnctl stop)
b) unzip the APEX install file in a directory on the machine where apache is installed
c) correct in the dads.conf the virtual dir /i/ to the "images" directory of the unzipped file
d) restart apache (opmnctl start)

Lost Developer Toolbar after upgrade from 4.1 to 4.2

After upgrading from 4.1 to 4.2.1.00.08, we have lost the Developer Toolbar.
Have others run into this with the upgrade or fresh installation of 4.2.1?
If so, what suggestions are there for fixing, short of reinstallation mentioned in this other thread:
{message:id=10692572}
Following the guidance there to look at the instance ID and other preference settings, I compared our three instances. The two that are not having the problem are both at 4.2.0.00.27.
Here are the preferences that exist on our other instances but are null on the problem instance:
APEX_4_1_0_PATCH_12920544
APEX_4_2_0_PATCH_14777994
APP_EXPORT_TO_DB_ENABLED
HPROF_DIRECTORY
INSTANCE_ID
MOBILE_DEVELOPMENT_ENABLED
PRINT_SVR_HOST
PRINT_SVR_PORT
PRINT_SVR_SCRIPTI have asked our support team to review the upgrade log. Re-installation from scratch is an option.
Any advice is welcome.
Skip

Thanks, Joel.
You inspired me to take a closer look, and look beyond the upgrade.
After the upgrade, my application passed a superficial checkout. Later, I exported my application and in the export file, the Instance ID was not NULL. I had not noticed any problems with how APEX was working.
The problems of the missing Developer Toolbar, Instance ID = NULL, and a new one, did not occur until I removed my application and tested a clean installation of the workspace and application. This is the sequence of events. The immediate triggering cause is clearly one of the following:
1. Deinstall application (ID 820) from APEX 4.2.1.00.08 instance, running 11g (11.1.0.7.0).
2. Remove workspace (PVA_AH9_R12)
3. (drop the parsing schema, xxpva, and related tablespace)
4. (create tablespace and schema user, xxpva)
5. Import workspace (PVA_AH9_R12) from an APEX 4.2.0.00.27 instance.
6. Import application (ID 820) including supporting objects from an APEX 4.2.0.00.27 instance, running 11g (11.2.0.1.0).
The next day I noticed the Developer Toolbar missing problem, and found that Instance ID is NULL.
Also, after Exporting an application in Database format, I cannot download the file from the Export Repository. When I click the filename link, I get 'Access Denied' instead of the normal download dialog.
Does this suggest anything else I should look into?
Do you think I should post this as a new problem/question with more detail about the sequence of events?
