Upgrading from APEX v3 to 4 issues

Hi,
I am trying to upgrade from APEX version 3 to v4, and we have the following issues:
* The buttons are not working (doesn't do anything when pressed)
* The show edit links are automatically displayed, and the edit link arrows are outlined in blue.
* The values are not being saves on the session.
I exported the application and imported into the oracle development forum and everything work fine.
We get the following error when using IE;

Any help will be appreciated.

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?

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.

Upgrade from APEX 3.0.0 to 3.1.0 causes problems with applications

Hello everyone,
We have recently upgraded our dev environment from APEX 3.0.0 to 3.1.0. The upgrade went through sucessfully, but the applications that were developed in 3.0.0 are not functioning in this upgraded dev environment. When I run the pages, it loads it with show edit links enabled, buttons dont function (postback) and the page shows an error of object expected. What seems to be the issue? What would alleviate it?
Any help is greatly appretiated :D
Regards,
Luis

Thank you for your quick reply.
It pointed us in the right direction. I ran Fiddler debugger on the problematic webpage and confirmed that the applications from 3.0 are looking for the new javascript libraries but in the old images directory

I noticed the pages that were working in the new environment found these files in the /i31/ folder.
I will have the DBA's attempt to copy the files from /i31/ into the /i/ directory and let you know if it works out. B-)

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.

Minor bug upgrading from apex 3.1 to 4.1

I have an application written by someone else in apex 3.1. When upgrading to apex 4.1 some pages failed to work. This was because for some reason there was a condition on a process which had a begin and end when the condition was of type: "NOT EXISTS (SQL qurey returns no rows".
This was combines by the process being:
begin
null;
end;
Anyway I thought I might share obviously this was crap code but maybe the upgrade process should run better then that.

Hi Ben,
are you upgrading your existing machine or are you setting up a new environment with Oracle 11g and APEX 4.2? If that's the case you can use have a look at http://www.talkapex.com/2012/04/command-line-backups-for-apex.html which creates export scripts for all your workspaces and applications. Those export scripts can than easily be imported with SQL*Plus. Note: Please have a look at bug# 14777994 in our Known Issues list at http://www.oracle.com/technetwork/developer-tools/apex/application-express/apex-42-known-issues-1863578.html
If you are upgrading your existing database, you don't have to export/import. When you upgrade APEX to 4.2 all your existing workspaces and applications will be upgraded to 4.2 as well.

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.

Thanks
Jean Seguin

Hi Jean,
Did you delete the table KMC_WF_SUBSTITUTE from the database directly and retry the update?
Also try updating only the UWLJWF first after dropping the table, as suggested in the blog:

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 ...

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.

David

Known Issues Upgrading from Apex 3.0.1 to 3.1.1

Hi,
We are in the process of upgrading to 3.1.1 from 3.0.1, are there any known issues (critical) that people can share?
Have heard that there might be an issue with the Shuttle item - is this correct?
Thanks.
Tony.

Hello,
>> Have heard that there might be an issue with the Shuttle item - is this correct?
I’m not aware of any critical issues with the shuttle item, or any other items, for that matter, regarding upgrade to 3.1.1. However …
Version 3.1 introduced extensive use with the ‘FIELDSET’ tag, in all the compound items, like data picker, checkboxes, shuttle etc. This use might cause some layout problems, or the need to adjust some JavaScript code, but nothing that can’t be overcome. You can read the following for some more details:
FIELDSET – new layout behavior in 3.1.1
3.1 upgrade problem: Post Element Text does not align properly
Other than that, and as far as my own experience goes, it’s a smooth upgrade.

Arie.

Error upgrading from APEX 4.0.1.00.03 to 4.1.1

I receive this error. In my opinion the problem could be related to the presence of one personalized authentication schemas, based on a DB function, taken from a Packaged application, some years ago, called "menu_framework".
This is the error report:
-- Now beginning upgrade. This will take several minutes.-------
-- Ensuring template names are unique -------
-- Migrating metadata to new schema -------
-- Switching builder to new schema -------
begin
ERRORE alla riga 1:
ORA-00600: codice di errore interno, argomenti: [kgiinb_invalid_obj],
[0x26962168], [0x1A1042F4], [], [], [], [], [], [], [], [], []
1) after the error trap, I copied the Image folder and tried to launch APEX. It was possible to lunch the development pages, but impossible to execute any application with the error: Authentication Schema not Supported
2) then decided to downgrade to APEX 4.0, following the proper instructions: received a similar error:
SQL> exec apex_040000.wwv_flow_upgrade.switch_schemas('APEX_040100','APEX_040000
BEGIN apex_040000.wwv_flow_upgrade.switch_schemas('APEX_040100','APEX_040000');
END;

[0x16D5D9E4], [0x27F2074C], [], [], [], [], [], [], [], [], []
The execution of application reported the same problem.
Then decided to restore the entirre DB.
Where is my problem?
Are my suspects real or the Authentication schema malfunctiong is a conseguence of the upgrade error?
Thank you, Angelo

I think this has something to do with your database and now APEX is affected. I don't think it is an APEX issue. Which version of database are you using? Maybe you should patch it to a more stable version.

Form element id changed after upgrading from APEX 3.2.1 to 4.0.2

Hi,
We are in the process of testing an upgrade of our APEX 3.2.1 app to 4.0.2. The production database was exported, imported as a new database, and then upgraded to 4.0.2. I've noticed that on pages where we have coded our own PL/SQL process in place of the built-in MRU, the form element id (referenced using g_fxx) has changed. For example, in our existing production system, the id for the first row of data is f06_0001, but when we look at the same page in APEX 4.0 environment, the element id has changed to f08_0001. Is this a known issue when performing an upgrade? Has anyone else experienced this?

Hi,
I have seen this problem.
I assume that Apex 4 do not give fxx name to items anymore in order where columns are in query.
This is one of reasons why we have not been yet able to upgrade.
And it seems this same problem exists in Apex 4.1 on apex.oracle.com

Jari

Upgrade from apex 2.1 to 2.2

Hi,
I am trying to upgrade apex 2.1 to 2.2. can anybody give some tips for the upgrade to be flawless (my superior isn't so pleased from this step so i'd like to make sure that the process will be as faster and safe as it can be and).
where should i unzip all the files? isn't there any file that extracts all the necessary files?
any help would be appreciated
Liron

Hi Liron,
Q. Where to unzip the files ?
A. It is entirely up to you. You can unzip on the db server itself (say in a temp dir) or on
a remote machine with sqlplus. Not if you use a remote machine then you will need
make sure your tnsnames.ora has a reference to the db hosting APEX / HTML DB.
NOTE : Once the install has gone ok and you do the post install tasks (Eg copy the new 2.2 /images/ etc etc) you can remove the unzipped files.
I'm curious, what actually is your superior no so pleased with - do you have more details ?
Regards,
Sunny Patel.

Hi All Respected Gurus!
Currently I am using APEX 4.0.0.00.46 with Oracle Database 11g-R1.
Now I want to upgrade it into APEX 4.1.1.00.23.
Please help.
Thanks in advance for your usual support.

Hi,
If you have access to support.oracle.com you will find the patches for this upgrade and the instructions from applying them there.
If no support then you have may have to take a backup of applications , workspaces,etc. , remove the current version of Apex, install your target version of apex and then import back the Apex applications.
