Upgrade htmldb 2.0 to apex 3.0

I have the database where originally was installed htmldb 1.6 and after successfully upgrade to 2.0. After I was trying upgrade to 2.2.1, the upgrade was successfully, but all application were messed up, ever uninstall didn't help. I did import htmldb schemas from export dump file, before started installation of Apex 2...2.1.
This time I did export/import htmldb schemas and my schemas to another test database, Run installation Apex 3.0. It has a lot of errors in the table FLOWS_030000.WWV_FLOW_UPGRADE_PROGRESS, It is actually 577 records in this table. I was testing applications, they looks okay.
Do you think I should go and install Apex 3.0 in my main database?
Can I experience later some problems?
Thanks MB

Mary,
It is difficult for me to understand the whole situation from your description. Let us go one statement at a time:
I have the database where originally was installed htmldb 1.6 and after successfully upgrade to 2.0.
So this statement, or situation, is not related to the current situation, is that right? All was well with your 2.0 instance?
After I was trying upgrade to 2.2.1, the upgrade was successfully, but all application were messed up, ever uninstall didn't help.
I have no idea what you mean.
I did import htmldb schemas from export dump file, before started installation of Apex 2...2.1.
I don't understand. You imported which schemas that you got from where? And why?
This time I did export/import htmldb schemas and my schemas to another test database, Run installation Apex 3.0.
Export/import of the Application Express schemas is not like installing the product. SYS grants will be missing.
It has a lot of errors in the table FLOWS_030000.WWV_FLOW_UPGRADE_PROGRESS, It is actually 577 records in this table. I was testing applications, they looks okay.
Do you think I should go and install Apex 3.0 in my main database?
Can I experience later some problems?
You need to refine the process until there are no errors.

Upgrade HTMLDB 1.6 to APEX 3.0 - what do I need to do?

We're using HTMBDB version 1.6 - is the upgrade to Apex 3.0 straightforward (can someone point me to where I can find documentation for how to do this)? Do we have to upgrade to an intermediary version, or can we go straight to 3.0? Are there any known issues with applications that have moved to 3.0 that I need to look out for?
Thanks.

Just install ApEx 3.0 and your HTMLDB will be automatically updated.
Installation guide:

Upgrade htmldb from version 1.4

To upgrade HTMLDB from 1.4 to 1.6 I need to export all workspaces and I don't have problem with this. I need also to export all applications. I have the problem to do this. We have 30 workspaces and Each workspace has 30 applications.I couldn't do this manually.Is it any htmldb procedure or package to export all of applciations at one time or export all applications by workspace at one time?
Please help

335567,
So you have over 900 applications that you have no backups of? I don't know why you would allow that situation. In any case, this thread has a technique that you can try: Automate HTMLDB Exports

How do I upgrade htmldb to version 1.6

I have installed htmldb on the 10g database that comes with the database installation CD. Now, how do I upgrade htmldb to 1.6 version. I see lot of features missing in my current version as to whatever is shown in the tutorials' screenshots.
I have downloaded htmldb_1.6.0.zip. One way is to drop all the objects under :
flows_010500, flows_files and htmldb_public_user. And recreate all these again using the scripts given in the htmldb_1.6.0.zip.
I already have some objects created using this version of htmldb. Is there any other way of upgrading it to 1.6 without deleting these objects?

rbotla,
From the Oracle HTML DB Installation Guide:
If you have version 1.5.0.00.33 or 1.5.1.00.12 of Oracle HTML DB, running this
installation will upgrade your Oracle HTML DB instance to version 1.6. This
installation will create Oracle HTML DB 1.6 database objects in a new schema and
migrate the application metadata to the new version.
Thanks,

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.

Arie.

Htmldb application export to ApEx

Hi
We are going to upgrade our htmldb 1.6 to Application Express 3.0. Since apex will be running in a new machine we have to import htmldb export file to our new apex environment. The question is, can it be done?
Best wishes
Kristin

Hi Kristin,
Yes sure...no problem at all.
Your APEX administrator can export the workspaces (if it's important for you to maintain the same workspace information, such as cookie users etc), also you can use the APEX interface to export your individual applications, or if you have a lot of applications you can use the APEXExport command to automate the task for you.
You can use the usual DB tools to export your schema and data, such as exp/imp, or my personal favorite datapump (if you've never used datapump, it rocks for migrating data between servers).
I wrote a blog post about APEXExport a while ago, which you might find useful -

After upgrade HTMLDB 2.0, the browser can not launch MS words to view doc

I create a page with an item to hold the file id in flows_files.wwv_flow_file_objects$. and use the htmldb_util.get_file(:P14_file_id) on-load before header process to allow user to view the documents under flows_files.wwv_flow_file_objects$ table.
When we are still in HTMLDB 1.6, the window would pop-up to ask for Open, Save or Cancel. When we click open, the window would depend on the file extension to lauch the Ms Words or Excel or Acrobat reader to view the file.
After we upgrade to HTMLDB 2.0, the window won't pop-up asking for open, save or cancel. Instead, it would open another Internet Explorer to try to read the file. Since the web browser could not read the MS words or excel, all of page display strange characters. I check the httpd.conf file and mime.type in the apache, everything looks fine with me. Could anyone provide me further information on the troubleshooting...

>
Does any one have this issue before?

Probably not because this is internal build so most of us don't have this version :)
I suppose that there is internal forum for questions like this.

After 4.2.1 upgrade get: requested URL /pls/apex/wwv_flow.accept not found

Hi,
Our hosted site just upgraded to 4.2.1 and I am getting:
The requested URL /pls/apex/wwv_flow.accept was not found on this server.
After trying to make a change on a master/detail form. I thought Apex 4.2 increased the # of fields on a master detail form so was surprised to see this error. Even when I reduce the number of columns showing on the detail part of the form which can have many rows as well, I am still getting the above error.
Has there been any change in 4.2 that would change the behavior of a straightforward save of a multi row master detail form?
In the past with Apex 4.0 I had to limit the columns being shown, but now I am reducing the # of columns even further and still get the error.
UPDATE: I just removed from the report region definition several columns (which were deselected from the Report Attributes so not actually showing in the master-detail form) and now I am at least able to add rows and save changes. Again I am totally surprised that this behavior is happening when I thought 4.2 allowed for MORE page items!!
I still cannot Delete rows from the detail section -- I get the odd message of :
ORA-02292: integrity constraint (ENTERPRISE_SYSTEMS.RESOURCE_REQUEST_CON) violated - child record found
But these rows have no child record!! They ARE the child records of the Master form. I had seen this behavior again related to the number of items showing on a page. Seems to me to be a bug in Apex that I had hoped would be removed with the 4.2 upgrade.
Am I missing something!!

For the first problem, I'd check the alert log first, location:

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

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.

Migration of Htmldb 1.6 to Apex 3.2

Hi All
I am a new user to Apex ,I wanted to migrate our one applicatioin which is running on HTML db 1.6 to Apex 3.2
Please help to know the steps,tutorial which can be used to complete the same
Regards
Manish

Mark,
>
After the import into APEX 3.2, I noticed that none of my users from HTMLDB 1.6 were created in APEX 3.2, (perhaps the export from HTMLDB 1.6 does not by default include users). I found that Users, and User Groups can be exported from HTMLDB 1.6 (under Export/Import, Select Export, select Workspace button), which I have done.
>
Apex users are a part of the application workspace. And if you login as the apex_admin and do a workspace export, you will see the insert scripts for creating the users.

As you see,everything was normal without errors,but when i try to access to workspace wit this url :http://fuegedb.thinktank.de/apex i have in the web console errors like ReferenceError: apex is not defined or ReferenceError: $x is not defined .
The result of this url http://fuegedb.thinktank.de/i/apex_version was :
Application Express Version: 4.1.1
it seems that the step of loading the images failed, we even try to repeat the execution of apxldimg script but same error still exists.
Have you any others ideas.

Ok, let's take a look at if we can see if the files are being uploaded. Run the following query:
select path(1) from resource_view where under_path(RES, 1, '/', 1) = 1;
This will show you the root paths in the XDB (XML DB Repository). You don't need to run this query since I can see your directory listings as noted by backintheday.
You can see all the times you have attempted to load the files by the number of images* directories. Each time you run the apxldimg.sql script it will rename the current images folder and append a date/time suffix.
The interesting thing about your folder structure is that you have an i directory along with an images directory. The i directory has the 4.1.1 files, the images directory has the 4.2.2 files (http://fuegedb.thinktank.de/images/apex_version.txt)
Not sure why you have an i directory. Did this database used to be a 10g database and not a 11g database? That might explain it.
Try renaming the i folder path.
begin
dbms_xdb.renameresource('/i/','/','/i_411');
end;
If the EPG is set up correctly it will have the i prefix mapped to the images path and everything should work fine. If not we'll have to figure out how to configure the EPG.

Upgrade Failure from apex 3.0 to 3.1 on Oracle 10.2.0.3

Hi:
When I was upgrading apex from 3.0 to 3.1 on Oracle 10.2.0.3, I experienced the error below: I did use the sysdba login when I was doing the upgrade.
Thank you for your help!
...create wwv_flow_sw_binds
references flows_files.wwv_flow_file_objects$(id)
ERROR at line 7:
ORA-02270: no matching unique or primary key for this column-list
create index wwv_flow_sw_bind_idx1 on wwv_flow_sw_binds (file_id)
ERROR at line 1:
ORA-00942: table or view does not exist

Surely that's telling you something?
If you did manage to hack it, you would then have an unsupported installation of APEX.
Upgrade the DB, or upgrade to the max supported APEX version for your current database version (which I think would be 3.2.1).
Cheers
Ben
