Workspace/Developer users and Oracle accounts

We plan to install Apex 4 (for first time) into an existing database with many schemas and users. Some users already have developer privileges in their schemas pre-Apex install. Will their user/schema privileges be 'inherited' into the Apex environment or will they have to be re-defined as Workspace admins/developers? If they have to be re-defined as developer user in Apex is there a way for them to keep their old passwords?
Also, we are implementing Oracle Identity Management and plan to move all developer-type accounts to be Enterprise User accounts in OIM. Will Apex developer users be compatible with this?
Thanks,
Pat

Yes, I have no problem with end-user authentication -- we have already implemented LDAP authentication in another Apex environment with our central LDAP directory as an alternate user authentication. I am glad to hear that some plans are being made for other methods of authentication of developers--why not become compatible with Oracle's own OIM and the concept of Enterprise User??
Quoting an Oracle whitepaper entitled: Directory Services Integration with Database Enterprise User Security
"... many enterprises today are still managing database users and privileges in individual databases. From end user perspective, managing passwords in multiple databases is confusing and results in poor user experience. From administration perspective, redundant user management is costly, and managing user authorizations in multiple databases is error prone. From auditing and compliance perspective, on time provision and de-provision of user access and privileges across databases is challenging.
Enterprise User Security (EUS), an Oracle Database Enterprise Edition feature, leverages the Oracle Directory Services, and gives you the ability to centrally manage database users and role memberships in an LDAP directory. Enterprise User Security reduces administration cost, increases security, and improves compliance through centralized database user account management, centralized provisioning and de-provisioning of database users, centralized password management and self-service password reset, and centralized management of authorizations using global database roles. "
Sounds like a great option to consider!!

Difference between oracle Developer suit and Oracle Application Server???

Dear all,,
If any one please tell me the main difference between Developer Suit and Oracle Application Server.
I will be very thank ful.
Thank you
Hina.

Hi Hina
can i deploy my application build on oracle 10g using developer suite with db10g and I don't use application server?For individual use and development yes u can using oracle Developer suit after starting OC4J
but for client use for more than x user to be able to run reports using parameter forms and other forms application u must use Oracle Application Server
An application server is
a server program in a computer in a distributed network that provides the business logic for an application program.
The application server is frequently viewed as part of a three-tier application, consisting of a graphical user interface (GUI) server, an application (business logic) server, and a database and transaction server.
More descriptively, it can be viewed as dividing an application into:
--- A first-tier, front-end, Web browser-based---
1.graphical user interface, usually at a personal computer or workstation
2.A middle-tier business logic application or set of applications, possibly on a local area network or intranet server
3.A third-tier, back-end, database and transaction server, sometimes on a mainframe or large server
Hope this helps,

Photoshop Elements 11 installed on Mac Mini OS X 10.9.5. Application running successfully on bot main user and administrative accounts for considerable time with no warning messages. When established a new user account on same computer and try to call up

Photoshop Elements 11 installed on Mac Mini OS X 10.9.5. Application running successfully on bot main user and administrative accounts for considerable time with no warning messages. When established a new user account on same computer and try to call up elements receive message “Some ot the application components are missing from the Application directory. Please reinstall the application.” How do I correct this problem without disturbing application in main user account?

Brooks lansing if you create a new Administrator account does the same issue occur? If so then it is likely that there is a file permission failure and file permissions have been set for the existing Users instead of the groups they belong to.
Have you removed and reinstalled Photoshop Elements 11? This may reset the file permissions to the correct state to allow it to work under new accounts.

How to hide Root user and other account ?

Hi, is there any way to keep root user enabled and also to not have the other account.
It is because if the other account in shown then the other user will get to know that root user is enable. I want to keep the root user enables as well as
"not" have the other account on my mac book pro.
I need to know because my small bro is using my mac a lot nowadays and i want to know what he is up to.
I have mavericks.
THANKS ANYWAYS

Go to Shared Components/Templates.
Find the page template that you are using and click Copy.
Go into the copy and look for &USER. and #NAVIGATION_BAR# and delete.
Go to each page that does not need the user and navigation and assign the new template.
This will get rid off the user details and the navigation bar.

Incorrect user and admin accounts showing when trying to apply patches

Hi folks,
I have completed a (rather painful) install of the "main" component of BPC version 7 on my clients' server, with a domain user as the System Admin, and local accounts for the Admin and User accounts.
This is a single-server install.
Now, when I try to apply the two patches to make it "officially" SP4, on the page that asks for my passwords it has filled in my IDs incorrectly.
So, my System Admin ID is showing correct as <domain>\sysadmin, but my admin and user are also showing as <domain>\bpcadmin and <domain>\bpcuser, rather than as they SHOULD appear: <local machine name>\bpcadmin and <local machine name>\bpcuser.
I have no idea what is happening, but I'm guessing it is down to some COM+ object that hasn't updated properly for some reason.
I also had a problem with the ApShell application not being created, so I had to do this manually, which I know isn't normal. Also, there has been no database created for ApShell either.
I checked all the pre-requisites and made sure all user accounts were ready to use, etc, but is there anything anyone can think of that might be causing these problems?
Thanks very much.
Best wishes,
Jason
Update: I thought that it woud be a good idea to uninstall BPC and start again, rather than amending components and databases manually, which shouldn't be necessary. Any tips on cleaning up the resulting mess would be most welcome!

Thanks Tony!
I reinstalled the application with the Sys Admin right the way through, and it accepts it, but I get another error:
[click here for picture|http://picasaweb.google.com/lh/photo/JFFxet7nUJcoeHY9hAQOcQ?feat=directlink]
This is weird as the database error shows C:\... when actually the default database is on D:\Data...
If I click on OK, I then get this much more complicated message:
[click here for picture|http://picasaweb.google.com/lh/photo/uM0LmGaQgJx4VseRqwXnsQ?feat=directlink]
I'm not even going try and interpret that one - but some searches on the internet haven't been very useful.
Any ideas? I'm almost at the point of getting the client to uninstall and reinstall SQL Server again, as I've been having this problem for at least 24 hours. But I'm keen to avoid this if possible, so any help wuld be appreciated.
Cheers,
Jason

Hello Kalyan,
A couple questions:
1. Once you installed the 11G database, you did start the database services, yes?
2. Do you have a properly configured TNSNAMES.ORA file that points to your database?
3. You created a database that you are using and can access the database via SQLPlus?

Developer Server and Oracle 7.3

Need to know if an Oracle 7.3, Developer 2.1 and Developer
Server configuration is reasonable for putting forms/reports on
the web, or if we should go to Oracle 8i. Are there any unusual
problems that we should be watching out for? Thanks in advance
for your assistance.

We have developed several form apps using the products in
question. We have experianced minor GUI problems but many of
these had patches. You can check by going to: ftp://oracle-
ftp.oracle.com/dev_tools/patchsets/dev2k/Win95NT/2.1/
I never experianced the scroll-bar problem the first response
talks about, not saying it isn't possible. Possibly a different
database platform.
All in all we have had good luck with the applications, little
bit of a setup learning curve, but once we were up and running
we produced some very effective web applications.

Oracle account and microsoft active directory password synchronisation

Hi
We are migrating our application to use windows active directory authentication. We have separate oracle account for
each logged in user in the application, and these oracle credentials have to be the same as the windows active directory
credentials.
Also, a password change on windows Active directory should change the oracle account password.
Is there a tool available to manage and synchronize the microsoft active directory and oracle account.
We use oracle 10g and application is hosted on Windows 2008 server.
Thanks
Karthik

There's an OOTB connector for Password Synch between AD -> OIM. Please use that.

For password synch, OIM- AD/Oracle, you can use triggers.

Problems Setting Up Developer Users

I am having a problem setting up developer users and I am trying to determine if I am missing a step or if there is a configuration problem on my staging and production systems.
What I want to do should be very simple. I want to create a user that can create an application and see the information under the "Application" tab in the Navigator.
I have created the user using the following steps on 3.0.9.82 for Unix:
1. Create the user
2. Make the user a full administrator (rather than end user)
3. Make the user a member of the portal_developers group
4. Make the user's default group the portal_developers group
However, when I do this the user does not see the information under the
"Application" tab. The only way I can get the user to see the info under the
"Application" tab is to make him a member of the Portal_administrators
and/or DBA group. Both my staging and production boxes have the same result.
Does anyone have any thoughts or suggestions on what might be happening?

Thank you- I have read through that thread and can see some resonance with my issue.
My AOL emails work VERY fast with BB, in fact almost simultaneously received on PC & Torch " ping ping!"
This issue only raised its ugly head when I had 2 Torches replaced by my insurers.
Whilst the claim was in process I used a new Curve, loaded from backup on PC to keep emails going and of course phone & web facilities. ( I use the BB to power internet via bluetooth to my PC / laptop when living on a remote island with no phone lines or power supplies) All was fine. Swapping email accounts took a few minutes with the usual password confirmations for each AOL screenname etc.
Then the new Torches came back from insurers, and I tried to swap devices. Phoning & texting is fine. Al data and contacts swap over fine.
SETUP email accounts.............stymied every time. It says repeatedly that my user name/password is invalid etc etc etc
Have tried security wipes. Have tried setting up new BB ID & passwords on PC website. All is OK until I try to setup emails on the Torches. This has used up ridiculous amounts of time- all wasted.
I love the BB phones and the fast email push......in fact I recently bought a new Sony Xperia Z1 but sent it back because of wifi coverage meant no emails on that superb phone for lots of the time.
Good old BB I said..........I always get emails wherever I am. ( Rural Scotland has very patchy radio & wifi coverage)
Was about to purchase new Z10s just to get a bigger screen, but now I am averse to buying ANY BB phone again because this present mess means I may never get emails set up again. How nuts is that?
Many thanks for all help & suggestions..........boy do I need them!!
Kind wishes from West of Scotland

Developer Report and APIs

Can any body help me with the following:
We have created a Developer report and it is linked to Portal. We can run the report by specifying a parameter and it works OK. What we want to achieve is to use the API option to get the user id to drive the report.
The question is: can this be done and if so how is it specified.
Thanks

Hello dear all
I am using Developer 6i and Oracle 11g all is
happy.But some users have problems
That alone mean's that all is NOT happy :-)
Forms 6i is not certified with database 11g nor supported, even if you get it connected, no one guarantees it will work properly. and your problem is a simple example.
Best thing to do is to upgrade your Forms Application, or use Oracle 10g with Forms 6i R2 patch 18, this is a certified combination.

Install Developer 6i on ORACLE 8.1.7 client

Saw that a lot of you have problems with Developer 6i and ORACLE
8.1.7 server.
I have installed 8.1.7 client only on my computer (this version
is mandatory, for corporate standard); when I try to install
Developer 6i, I get the error message:
The location specified 'D:\ORACLE\ora81' is already used as a
home for ORACLE 817 Production. It cannot be used as an ORACLE
home for 'nt'
I know that I could install Developer 6i in a different home, but
would have a second Oracle Client/Net installation on the
computer, unequal 8.1.7. This would be against our policies.
My question:
o Is ORACLE Client 8.1.7 compatible with Dev/6i ?
o If yes, how do I have to install the software?
o If not, Do I have to use a different developer version? Which
version?
By the way:
Got this Error on Windows/NT and Windows2000

you can not install Oracle8.1.7 and Forms6i in the same
oracle_home.
So, install it into a different ORACLE_HOME (directory) on the
same machine.

Created new workspace, user created OTN account but cannot access workspace

hi,
i recently created GFW_SYSTEMS_TEAM beehiveonline workspace.
i added 4 external users including myself as an external user using my gmail account: [email protected] so i could verify the process from an external user point of view
i created my OTN account and verified it but cannot access the workspace using this login.
when i check the users in beehiveonline-apex i see that all users are verified.
when i check the users in the workspace, 2x external users are missing but my gmail user is there
when i check the ~BOLADMIN tool i see that my gmail user is missing - only my oracle account is visible; the other 2x external users are also missing...
my oracle and gmail email addresses are similar : neil.pritchard@~ oracle.com, gmail.com
i am accessing from my secondary oracle laptop (OBI); not on vpn
can you tell me if there are any known conflicts with the above setup?
more info:
OS: XP SP2; browser IE8
when accessing teamcollab or workspaces i get 'Internet Explorer cannot display the webpage' during login authentication
best regards
Neil
Edited by: 972236 on 20-Nov-2012 05:49

Neil,
we spotted some provisioning scripts that had failed and are re-running them now - hoefully the extra users will be in the group/workspace soon. The 2 emails for you will not be a clash as they are valid and unique.

Differences between TOAD for Oracle and Oracle SQL Developer?

Does someone know the advantages and disadvantages of using TOAD for Oracle and Oracle SQL Developer?
I work making reports with TOAD, but in a few days I will have to use the SQL Developer (because it´s free) unless I justify the necessity of using TOAD.
Could some that used both compare them?
Thanks,
Facundo.

Hello Facundo,
since we are rolling out new client PCs we switch from Toad to SQL Developer. Therefore I'm doing some training for the "normal" users and our developers.
Most users simply want to have access to the data in tables and views. For those there are 2 main issues:
- Filters get lost when exiting table while sorting is still applied. Since there is no way to apply filtering before entering the data tab this can become a great performance issue because sorting is applied to many many rows. For views it is sometimes impossible to open the data tab.
- Exporting date values to Excel needs some know how if you want to sort by this column in Excel, because the date is formatted as "Standard" meaning that the sorting is done as for a text column: 01.01.2009 is less than 02.01.2008. Here you have to use a workaround column with a formula (=1*<datecolumn>)
The greatest Pro is the easy sharing of connections and reports by XML files.
Our developers like the easy debugging in SQL Developer. Though they miss the feature that the source is compiled for debug automatically as in Toad. For this we have distributed a script that compiles any PL/SQL object for debugging.
There are only some Toads installed for DBAs and for users that need access to tables protected by policies that require authentification by OS user since this information is not passed under every circumstance.
Regards
Marcus
