Windows critical update blocks Application Express (APEX) with IE6 browser

We recently started having problems with APEX running on an IE6 browser. You get 'page not found' error. It was just 1 user, then 2, then others, on different days. It was weird and we didn't know what was causing it. Our DBA found it quite by accident. He was in APEX with IE6, then did a MS/Windows critical update and now cannot use IE6 with APEX. We are looking at the patches now to try to isolate which one is causing the issue. I was wondering if anyone else is having this issue. It would be Microsoft's latest critical update.
Carolyn

Apex version 3.2.1
DB version 10.2
Web server architecture (?)
Browser: MS Internet Explorer version 6.0.290.5512.xpsp_sp3_gdr.100427-1636
Just trying to access the APEX URL gives 'page not found' error.
We are still on IE6 because a lot of our vendor supplied solutions are still on IE6 so until we get those resolved we have to keep this browser although we are working on a virtualization tool that will help. In the meantime we have told our users they have to switch to Firefox to use their APEX applications and that means constantly switching back and forth between browsers for them. We have identified the MS critical update patch for this but I am looking for a better solution instead of the interim solution of switching browsers.
Thanks,
Carolyn

  • Do you use Oracle Application Express (APEX) with EBS?

    I am conducting a short survey to determine how you integrate Oracle Application Express with eBusiness Suite. Please take a few minutes to fill out the survey:
    http://apex.oracle.com/pls/otn/f?p=54654:1:0
    {We will not share information with anyone except with your explicit permission}
    We believe that there are a large number of eBusiness Suite customers that are using Application Express in various ways so we are trying to quantify that and get some further information.
    This is all part of a broader effort we are currently undertaking working closely with various people from the eBusiness Suite Development Team.
    This survey is very important to us so please take the time to complete the survey if you use Application Express with eBusiness Suite - It is only 1 page long.
    Thanks,
    David

    Thanks for your reply.
    I did some more investigation to check what could cause this to happene, whereby the report toatal is not displayed at all for few selected paramters.
    What i could analyse was that the records returned were more than 50 (Standard Setting) , which however could not fit into the page, along with that the pagination scheme was not selected. I had to make 2 changes to the Layout of the report
    Pagination Scheme : Row Ranges X to Y(with Next and Previous Links)
    Number of Rows : 500
    This worked for me as the displayed could not be seen on the next page with Previous and next links on the report output.
    Thanks,

  • Can Oracle Application Express (APEX) be integrated with ADF applications?

    Hi All,
    Oracle Application Express (APEX) works on various supported databases. Can this tool be integrated with ADF for report publishing, in adf some of my result is coming from Business Components , so can these things be related to each other?
    Please provide a suitable forum to ask this question if this question doesn't fir in ambit of this forum.
    Thanks in advance.

    There are a couple of things you can do - a lot depends on what your application needs. Since you ask this in the JDeveloper forum, I'm going to address getting to ApEx from ADF, not to ADF from ApEx - but some of the same possibilities apply.
    Easiest thing to do is to jump into the ApEx application with a af:goLink or af:goCommand referencing the needed page's URL. By setting the target, you can control whether it opens in a new window or the same window. I'm not currently using ApEx, but I have a few reports written as PL/SQL Server Pages that I call exactly this way.
    You can also open the ApEx pages in an af:inlineFrame - and it will look like it is inside your ADF application - but use inline frames with a little caution - they don't work perfectly in all browsers, notably Mobile Safari.
    ApEx can't look inside your ADF BC objects, but of course, if your two applications are using the same database, you can communicate between them within the database. One possibility to look at is Advanced Queuing.
    Some ApEx functionality can be executed by executing the underlying PL/SQL procedures - do a search in this forum for how to call PL/SQL from an ADF BC Application Module.

  • Problems after recent "windows critical update" 8 pm 3/13/2012

    I was notified around 8pm that a critical update was ready to load from "Windows Update" so I allowed the update to load after I shutdown all open windows. After the update loaded and the computer restarted there was a screech emitting from the system speakers. I found the following changes:  my volume control now has 3 bars the usual volume bar and now a "system sound bar" and a "Stereo Mix (IDT High Definition Audio Codec)" bar, adjusting any of the bars has no effect on the screech, strangely also changed was my help file page. I know request held and no longer get the HP help page but instead the windows 7 help page.
    I ran system restore and restored the system successfully to restore point at 9:30 am but all that did was removed the update but did not change the sound issue. Immediately before allowing the update to install I was listening to a recorded stream and all was well.
    Any Ideas or suggestions? All drivers claim devices are running normally, and another restore to yesterday did not have an affect either.
    Running Windows 7 Ult. 64-bit on a HP dv7t-4000 CTO, I do have extended warranty and I haven't contacted them yet.
    Thanks,

  • Update improved application of apex

    Hey. I have a problem with apex, to see if I can help out.
    First of all sorry for my English, this translation was made xd google translator.
    Well, I have an application running in a company right?. This company is working with the application, and have lots of data within the database. So, as I have requested a change and I, I've developed on my local machine, and now I want to update you erase your application without the database. And do not really know how to do it, I've been seeing in the apex there is a place to create objects of installation and update objects but do not really know how to handle it.
    I hope I have explained clearly. Basically I need to update the application of this company without touching DDBB data.
    thanks

    Make sure you keep the application IDs the same in dev/test and live, or else if you have users who have saved some interactive reports, they will all disappear when you import the application because the saved reports are tied to their region IDs.
    So keep the IDs the same throughout your environments, and when you import into live (after copying the application to create a backup), check the "Reuse Application ID ??? From Export File", then you will be prompted to confirm that you want to overwrite the current live app.
    regards,
    Malcolm.

  • Application Express (APEX) default port number?

    I just installed Oracle Application Express 3.1.2 and I don't know the port number it is using. How do I know what port number to use to access the site?

    <p>
    Here's the option I went with when I began my installation. I chose step 1.5.1 "Scenario 1: Downloading from OTN and Configuring the Embedded PL/SQL Gateway" in the APEX installation instructions. But after reading it, it seems like this option only works with Oracle 11g. Is that correct?

    https://support.microsoft.com/kb/910336?wa=wsignin1.0
    Meanwhile, run WSRESET.EXE to clear Windows Store cache and remove other security applications and proxy to try again.
    If it persists, upload the whole latest setuperr.log for further research.

  • How to generate a spool extsion. txt or. dba from Application Express- Apex

    ?:| I am new in the management of Oracle Express seems an excellent tool to
    work, when I have a difficult to generate the flat files (. txt,. dba,.
    csv, etc) ..
    {color:#0000ff}*I know that I must configure Oracle Express to generate the flat files in that folder and find the results are stored?*
    {color}Example: I have the following query:
    {color:#0000ff}{color:#000000}spool pagos.txt
    select *
    from pagos
    order by id_pagos;
    spool off;{color}
    If the generated file (. Txt,. Dba,. Csv, etc.) in which folder holds the result?{color}
    I appreciate your cooperation ..._

    You don't need to spool a file. You could:
    1. create a report,
    2. enable .csv output (report attributes / report export)
    3. and you will see a link for downloading the results from your report.

  • Updating Oracle Application Express VIEWS

    Hi,
    Are the Oracle ApEx Views updateable - if so, what grant is required or which user is allowed to do it as I would like to update the APEX_APPLICATION_PAGES view?
    Thanks.
    Tony.

    Tony,
    The APEX views are all read-only.
    You can use parts of the APEX builder to batch update a number of different APEX page & shared components, but not all of them.

  • Oracle Application Express (APEX) and WebLogic Security

    Hi,
    Has anyone tried integrating Oracle APEX (custom authentication) with WebLogic Security as the user store?
    Thanks
    Joel

    Hi
    Depending on your architecture - APEX in EBS database - or APEX in it's own database instance you're going to have to change a couple of things.
    Most importantly - EBS R12 has removed MOd-PLSQL from the Apps menus and from the HTTP listener.
    You will need another HTTP listener - Apache with mod-plsql or Database R11 with Embedded Plsql Gateway - EPG.
    Second the way that APEX is called from EBS using the Web PLSQL functions in EBS menus is no longer supported in R12.
    Check out https://sites.google.com/a/popay.be/apex-on-apps/apps - follow the contacts there - they have also developed a Java utility to call APEX from EBS R12.
    In short - depsite Oracle's 'statement of direction' to move away from mod-plsql and removing this from EBS R12 (just what motivates this wierd thinking???)- APEX is still the most flexible and cost-effective means to extend EBS functionality - especially in reporting - and it works just fine in R12.
    Good luck

  • Application Express (APEX) move from 9i to 10g

    I am wondering if anyone can help here, The question has two sections:
    First, I need to know if there are any issues at all if I develop my APEX reports on Oracle 9i database and then deploy them on a 10g database, assuming the APEX version is the same (3.2).
    Second, if I develop them using APEX 3.1 on 9i databse and deploy it on a 10 g database with APEX 3.2 assuming I am not using any of the new features on 3.2 that don't exist in 3.1.
    Thanks so much for your help in advance

  • Basic problem in displaying the pdf and images in Application express

    Hi,
    I have oracle 10g and application express.
    I have already stored the images and pdfs using PLSQL in table with following columns
    TableA(vessel number, cruise number, image blob, pdf blob)
    now for every vessel, cruise combination there is a particular image and pdf.
    so in my htmldb page.
    I have created 2 select list for vessel and cruise respectively.
    now on selecting these lists i want to diaplay their corresponding image and pdf.
    How can i do this? I just somehow miss the basic knowledge of how to do this.
    Should i create a html region or a report region for the image and pdf.
    under what region the image and pdf goes. and on sleecting the vessel, cruise can i show hyperlinks and upon selecting the hyperlinks a image and pdf opens in a new window.
    or can i create 2 regions and display the image and pdf right in the region itself.
    Can someone please guid eme please.
    Thanks,
