Upgrading from Apex 3.2.1 (mod_plsql) to Apex 4.0 with Oracle Listener

Hi,
We have some applications developed in Apex 3.2.1 (which is mod_plsql) that have not been moved into Production yet. We are planning to upgrade to Apex 4.0 with Oracle Listener as soon as they are available (we don't want to turn on mod_plsql on any web server). What will be the migration process? Will my applications function and look the same when I open them in Apex 4.0? Will any functionality, formatting, etc. be lost?
I heard that there is a Migration Assistant but there is not much information available.
When Apex 4.0 and Oracle Listener will be released? Summer 2010?
I would appreciate all the information that you have about this.
Thanks,
Violeta

A new dedicated OTN Forum has been set up for the APEX Listener: ORDS, SODA & JSON in the Database
Please use this forum for all future APEX Listener posts.
Regards,
David

Upgrading from 9.0.1.3 to 11.2.0.4 with Oracle Workspace Manager

Our client has a (very old) 9.0.1.3 database on Windows 2000
This database (and other products – but that’s not the main concern right now) needs to be upgraded to 11.2.0.4 in Windows2008R2 (64 bit).
A complicating factor might be the use of Oracle Workspace Manager – a lot of tables are Workspace Managed.
We can do it the long way, by upgrading it via 9.1.0.4, 10.2.0.1, 10.2.0.4 -> Export and then, on the new environment, import on 10.2.0.4 en subsequently upgrade it to 10.2.0.5 and then 11.2 (and maybe some more patching afterwards).
But that takes way too long (downtime).
So would it be possible to do it the “easy way”:
Full Database Export of 9.0.1.3, import it into a brand new empty 11.2.0.4 and then upgrade Workspace Manager to 11.2 as well?
Or should we upgrade OWM to 11.2 in the old environment - and is that possible at all?
(FYI: Snippet from the OWM manuals : Workspace Manager supports the import and export of version-enabled tables in one of the following two ways: a full database import and export, and a workspace-level import and export through Workspace Manager procedures. No other export modes, such as schema, table, or partition level, are currently supported).
(On purpose cross-posted in the "Workspace Manager" Forum : Upgrading from 9.0.1.3 to 11.2.0.4 with Oracle Workspace Manager

The database is not that big (in fact there are two, both around 130Gb).
Affordable downtime is one weekend. The long way (with all patching and upgrading) takes around 100 hours...
We did raise an SR, but the answer was ... take the long way home ;-)
(But, FYI, I didn't raise the SR, so I don't know what question has been asked... If the original question was "how to upgrade", you get the official statement. If you don't ask for other options, you don't get them - so I ask it here...)
And I've seen that presentation... Thanks anyway.

APEX 3.1.0.00.32 doesn't work with ORACLE 10g SE 10.2.0.1.0

I have Oracle 10g Express Edition 10.2.0.1.0 under Windows XP SP2 on my Personal Computer. There is installed the too , which is working fine.
Also I have Oracle 10g Standard Edition 10.2.0.1.0 (after installing Oracle 10g BI SE One) under Windows 2000 Adv. Server (On remote Server named URAN).
I tried to install the APEX 3.1.0.00.32 on URAN Server.
I made all points from the list in the Oracle Database Application Express Installation Guide Release 3.1 E10496-02 (the same steps on my Personal Computer where APEX 3.1.0.00.32 is working fine).
But!!!
When I’m starting APEX 3.1.0.00.32 (on the Server - http://URAN:8080/apex/apex_admin) then I get errror:
Unauthorized
after 3 time entering the correct user & password ( from URAN accounts list ) in XDB user window.
QUESTION 1: Why version number of Database on my PC & on Server is same, but
APEX 3.1.0.00.32 on my PC is working fine while its is not working on the Server?
I found out in Internet the APEX 3.1.0.00.32 is working correctly on ORACLE SE from version 10.2.0.3. But ! I have Oracle 10g Express Edition VERSION ‘s 10.2.0.1.0 and the APEX 3.1.0.00.32 is working fine there. What ?! Oracle 10g XE 10.2.0.1.0 & Oracle 10g SE 10.2.0.1.0 have different the data dictionary?

But! My Oracle 10g Express Edition has version is 10.2.0.1.0 (less than 11g) AND …
And APEX 3.1.0.00.32 is working fine by using XML DB HTTP Server nevertheless!

Firstly, XE 10.2.0.1 isn't the same as 10gR2 10.2.0.1
It was released a bit later and had some fixes that were in later 10.2.0.x patchsets (and also had some different security settings). Maybe they should have gone with 10.2.1.1.
Second, the embedded PL/SQL gateway was okay for XE, but isn't supported for Apex on the Standard/Enterprise Edition until 11g. It doesn't mean it never works, but it does mean that you shouldn't rely on it.
That said, there are other issues with 10.2.0.1 so I'd recommend going for the latest patchset anyway.
Thirdly, if you get the XDB login dialog box, something has gone wrong. For the embedded PL/SQL gateway, XDB is acting as a virtual webserver. Generally what should happen is you connect to the webserver (XDB) and request a page (the APEX login page) and XDB should give it to you, no questions asked.
If it asks you to login then the XDB webserver is running but is trying to get authorisation before it gives you the page. [By the way, if it does prompt for a username/password, it is expecting a database username/password, not an apex one or an O/S one] I'd suspect something is wrong with the setup.

After upgrading from Prosight V6 to V7.5 we are having issue with API's

Team,
Current version 6 of prosight upgraded to version 7.5. We are having our external webservice consumes Prosight webservice which defaulted installed under ProsightWS virtual directory. After up gradation we are running into issue in external application ,application unable to communicate to Prosight new version webservices. Fails in the time of calling in Login method itself in the psPortfoliossecturiy service.
Exception as follows:
“System.Web.Services.Protocols.SoapException: Could not create Security Token for specified User and Password at ProSight.Portfolios.WebServices.WS.psPortfoliosSecuritySOAP.Login(String sUser, String sPassword, Int32 lTimeOut) “
Our web application uses a dedicated user account to interact with Prosight webservice and it runs under windows authentication. Application build on ASP.NET 2.0 and later.
The sad part here is , our web application running perfectly with Prosight v6. :( I would appreciate if anyone could help us to resolve this issue. This is blocking our up gradation from 6 to higher version of prosight.
Thanks for your valuable time

Jithesh

Here is the offical documentation from version 8.0 on the backward-compatability of the APIs. This document comes the version 8 installer. Not sure this helps you with the 7.5 issues, but hoping it will help:
Considerations for applications using the PPM Open API via COM
Applications which use the Primavera Portfolio Management (PPM) Open API via any interface (COM, SOAP/RCP or Document/Literal) and were developed and used with previous versions of PPM will continue to operate without the need for recompilation, as Primavera Portfolio Management 8.0 provides full binary backwards compatibility for all of the Open API interfaces. New functionality is available only to applications that are written to take advantage of such functionality.
Note however that any process can only load and use one version of the Microsoft .NET Framework. Therefore, applications developed with the .NET Framework 1.1 cannot use APIs to communicate with software developed using the .NET Framework 2.0 if this would cause the same process to need to load both versions of the .NET Framework.
This means that if any part of an application that uses the Open API which was developed using .NET Framework 1.1 communicates directly with PPM using the COM API (which is in-process), that part of the application would need to be recompiled to target the .NET Framework 2.0. If on the other hand, the application developed using .NET Framework 1.1, only communicates with PPM using SOAP RPC or Web Services (which are out-of-process) then there is no issue.
Instead of recompiling, it is usually sufficient to ”force” the existing executables to actually use the .NET Framework 2.0 instead of the native version of the .NET Framework for which they were compiled (1.1). This can be achieved by using an application config file with the following content:
<?xml version ="1.0"?>
<configuration>
<startup>
<supportedRuntime version="v2.0.50727" />
</startup>
</configuration>
The application config file can easily be created using Notepad or something similar. It does not need to be compiled in any way. It should be named with the exact same name as the executable file plus the suffix “.config”. For example: if the application executable file is called “Tester1.exe” then the config file must be named “Tester1.exe.config”. It must be placed in the same directory as the executable file.
The config file “forces” the application to use the .NET Framework 2.0, which would mean that even when using COM (in-process) Open API calls to PPM, there would still be only one version of the .NET Framework involved in the process (.NET 2.0).

UCM upgrade from 11.1.1.5 to 11.1.1.8 with all configuration?

HI guys
May be some one upgrading env from 11.1.1.5 to 11.1.1.8?
I observing issue with old configuration, I'm getting clean UCM.
After upgrade new UCM starting normally, but when I'm connecting to CS console it asking me that I already have old configuration which I want to submit or no. On this stage I submitting old configuration and in result after restart I'm getting fully clean UCM. All configuration have been removed.
Could some one explain how to upgrade it in correct way(and get old configuration workable) and prevent configuration from scratch.
Thanks

Hi ,
Ideally upgrade does not clean up the existing configurations . This is a pretty strange scenario that has come up on your environment . Can you please give some more details about your environment , architecture and topology .

Database upgrade from 11.2.0.2 to 11.2.0.3 on oracle APPS R12 (EBS)

Please help, im trying to upgrade my oracle 11.2.0.2 database to 11.2.0.3 for oracle APPS. i started by installing a new home(oracle software) and name it 11.2.0.3 then run dbua from the new home.it run fine but when it reaches the upgrade summary page it still show 11.2.0.2 to 11.2.0.2 instead of on 11.2.0.3 on the target database

my server is called oradsp, my application tier and database tier i running on the same server and the instance name or SID =DSP.
as per metalink note
3.Update application tier context file with new database listener port number (conditional)
The new 11.2.0 Oracle home uses its own database listener for the database instance, replacing the current database listener. Use the Context Editor to update the following variables in the Applications context file on each application tier server node to reflect the 11.2.0 configuration:
Variable Name Value
s_dbhost New database hostname
s_dbdomain New database domain name
s_db_serv_sid New database SID
s_dbport New database listener port
s_apps_jdbc_connect_descriptor NULL
what values do i need to put in, this part is also confusing me. need clarity please

Upgrading from 7.5 to version 8: CEM and CCS problem with the EDMT

Hi All;
The current UCCE is 7.5 and some scripts and configuration for the CCS and CEM were already done, when I tried to upgrade for version 8 and I used the EDMT version 8 to upgrade the side_A database (logger Database), then an error message appeared which states that CCS and CEM is existed and it should be removed.
After checking, I discover that UCCE version 8 is no more supporting CCS or CEM scripts and configuration.
But, how I can resolve this problem as removing all the related configurations and all the related objects in the scripts and the scripts will be very hard and very complex ... what is the solution to overcome this problem?
I think there should be a proper method or solution from CISCO to resolve this problem.
Looking forward to hear from someone that can help me.

Upgrade from EDGE 3.0 -- EDGE 3.1: What to do with the new SAP transports?

Hello together,
we upgraded our EDGE 3.0 System to EDGE 3.1.
Also we upgraded the SAP integration kit.
Everything seems to work fine.
With the EDGE 3.1 Integration pack there are also new SAP transports included.
Now there are a few questions. Hope someone can help me with this
Do we have to import them?
Can we still use the "old" transports already imported in SAP?
Can we just "override" the "old" transports?
Is there an performance improvement (especially with WebI) with the new transports?
Thanks very much in advance!
With kind regards
Sebastian

Ingo,
If I do a fresh install of BOXI 3.1 Edge SP2...do I have to import the original transports or can I go directly to the SP2 "version" of the transports?
Thanks.

Can I upgrade from 3.6.18 to 5 or need 4 first with mac 10.6.7 ?

Firefox keeps crashing after I have made an operating upgrade on my mac to 10.6.7. Currently on Firefox 3.6.18 and can I go directly to Firefox 5 or do I need to install 4 first?
Thank you!

For an unofficial Firefox 7 compatible version (TenFourFox) that runs on PowerPC Macs with OS X 10.4.11 or OS X 10.5.8 you can look at:

Steps to upgrade from Weblogic Portal 8.1 to Webcenter Portal 11.1.1.6

Currently I'm involved in consulting for a client who has Weblogic Portal (WLP) 8.1. I'm trying to find documentation for upgrade from WLP 8.1 to Webcenter 11.1.1.6.
I found the below link but the starting point for upgrade is Oracle WebCenter 10g (10.1.3)
http://docs.oracle.com/cd/E23943_01/doc.1111/e22628/wcmap.htm
I'm not clear if I should migrate from WLP 8.1 to WLP 10.3.x and then to Webcenter or direct migration from WLP 8.1 to Webcenter is possible ?
Any pointers / links / case study would be helpful.
Thanks for the helping soul in advance.

Thank you jiri for the quick response.
Regarding your comment 'upgrade from WLP 8.1 to WLP 10.3.5 is not for free', I did some search and found that the documentation is available for upgrading from 8.1 to 10.3.4 as below :
http://docs.oracle.com/cd/E26806_01/wlp.1034/e14253/upgrade_process.htm
Also when I went to the 10.3.5 documentation library (http://docs.oracle.com/cd/E35968_01/index.htm), I found the below link (where the upgrade process points 8.1 to 10.3.4 instead of 8.1 to *10.3.5*)
http://docs.oracle.com/cd/E26806_01/wlp.1034/e14253/toc.htm
My understanding (after reading the documentation + your comment) is that we can upgrade from 8.1 to 10.3.4 but to upgrade to 10.3.5 we need to pay Oracle. Could you point me to a link which has that information ?
Thank you for your help.

T410 Windows 7 Upgrade - from Win 7 Pro 32 to Win 7 Ultimate 64.

I purchased a T410 with Win 7 Pro 32 and am looking for the option to upgrade it to Win 7 Ultimate 64.
The shop in the country (Singapore) do not provide such option/customization.
Called tech support in the country without getting much info (they said they only support hardware).
Tried Lenovo shop in the country and they will only help to upgrade to Pro 64 with a charge, however without any recovery media (OS and drivers). I need Ultimate 64.
Browsed Lenovo site and couldn't find anything relevant.
Hope someone will give me the direction to upgrade from Win 7 Pro 32 to Win 7 Ultimate 64 (with all drivers).

moderator edit: subject line adjusted for clarity

Dear Yannick Plavonil,
That discussion was started by me only on dell community and it was not resolved.
However if I upgrade can I revert back to Win 7, if something does not resolve or some of the devices
connected to the motherboard do not work?
