Wrong Apex import application

Hi people.
After migrating to Application express 3.1, I discovered the Apex features in SQLdev.
Finally, today I tried to import an application inside SQLdev that I'd exported yesterday from another instance.
The app imported without error messages, but when I run the application, strange characters (Ã± / Ã¡) are replacing special spanish characters as á and ñ letters.
I'm used to change the settings of character set values of NLS_LANG and other environment variables in installation of products and prior to run IMP and other utilities, due I run translated versions of Oracle Application Express and Oracle Database XE, but in this case, the procedures to run the Apex import inside SQLdeveloper don't include any place to change any international settings.
After this failed try, I imported the same export app file using the Application express import utility, without errors, and displaying the "special" characters in the right way. (Then, the export file is correct)
SQL dev didn't foresee this or I'm loosing some in the way?
Thanks a lot.

This has been addressed and should be in the next release.
Sue

APEX 4.0.1 - import application fails

Trying to switch from APEX 3.2 to APEX 4.0.1, it appears another patch release may be needed. I am unable to import applications created via APEX 3.2 export and APEX 4.0.1 export. This is the error:
ORA-01400: cannot insert NULL into ("FLOWS_FILES"."WWV_FLOW_FILE_OBJECTS$"."ID")
Please confirm bug or problem resolution. Thanks.

Hi,
what's your database version and how is your APEX 4.0.1 hosted (EPG/OHS/Listener)?
-Udo
P.S.: For a little further diagnostic, you could try to find out if something went wrong during your 4.0.1 installation.
select status from dba_triggers where table_name='WWV_FLOW_FILE_OBJECTS$';If the trigger is not enabled, you might try recompiling it.

How does APEX import a packaged APEX application

I was wondering, if someone might help me to better understand how APEX imports a packaged application.
The typical packaged application file looks like a simple SQL*Plus Script that needs to be processed by SQL*Plus from PL/SQL on the server.
I would be most interested to understand how APEX handling this process because it might really help me (and probably many others) to improving our own installation process.
Thank you in advance for any information!

The documentation contains an entire chapter on Deploying an Application. This appears to be a good place to start.
The tutorial How to Review a Packaged Application would also be worthwhile.

Error while exporting - importing application

Hi All
I was trying to export my apex.oracle.com app and was importing it to my local db installation environment. Encountered with an error:
*1 error has occurred*
*NOT COMPATIBLE (Your export may contain calls not supported by your application version.)*I found that in my local environment, some features were missing like page of Type "Master-Detail" was not there while creating a page in my local instance. (My app is not using any mater-detail page, but it may be using some features which are missing in my local version). Want to know about the following:
1. The APEX 3.2 (apex.oracle.com) DB version so that I can upgrade my DB instance version.
2. Is the error telling about the incompatible application version or the DB version? How can it be addressed?
Thanks
Bhavesh

Hello Bhavesh,
>> That means my env is the newer one, still it is not compatible with the app created on an earlier version. Not sure why?
The compatibility issue you encountered is about the APEX version and NOT the database version. The same APEX version can be installed on different database versions, starting with 9.2.0.3 or later.
As each new APEX version adds new features, which manifest in the metadata table structure (among others), you can’t install an application from an advanced APEX version on an earlier APEX version.
The version on apex.oracle.com is 3.2, while the default APEX installation on a new 11g database is 3.0.1. As such, if no specific upgrade were done to your local APEX instance, you won’t be able to import applications from apex.oracle.com.
As was suggested, the only feasible solution is to upgrade the local APEX instance to the version on apex.oracle.com.

Arie.

Problems importing application

Hi, everybody.
i'm having some problems importing applications from my dev env to my prod env.
it's something very strange because it was working fine 2 weeks ago, but now it's not running.
i get into the import page, choose the file and then the page keeps with that 'importing file' message forever, and sometimes i get a 'page not found' message.
but yesterday, i don't know why, i could import one small application. After a 'page not found' message i got into the export repository, and there was my file. i installed it and it was done.
some days ago i was told here to take a look at the logs and to increase some parameters in apex. but i don't know if these were the correct parameters and the only logs i found were de Apache logs.
does anyone know what can be happening or at least whar must i look for?
thanks in advance
Daniel.

I can't help your problem, but I found my errors in the Apache log file.

Error when import application

hi everybody,
i get error when i try to import application
ORA-20001: GET_BLOCK Error. ORA-20001: GET_STMT error. ORA-20001: Execution of the statement was unsuccessful. ORA-06550: line 6, column 41: PLS-00103: Encountered the symbol &amp;quot;PK&amp;quot; when expecting one of the following: ( - + case mod new not null &amp;lt;an identifier&amp;gt; &amp;lt;a double-quoted delimited-identifier&amp;gt; &amp;lt;a bind variable&amp;gt; continue avg count current exists max min prior sql stddev sum variance execute for
i think the error comes becouse NLS_CHARACTERSET was WE8MSWIN1252 when i exported then i delete oracle DB because there are some error and i install it again with NLS_CHARACTERSET: AL32UTF8
but when i try to import it show me the above error
Is there any solution ?

1) How do you know the file was exported in character set WE8MSWIN1252? In a properly configured APEX system, the export file will always be encoded in AL32UTF8.
i see it from (Home>Administration>About Application Express ) it was
WE8MSWIN1252
and i select AL32UTF8 after reinstall for oracle DB.
2) Have you tried specifying Windows-1252 as the file character set on upload?
no , i will try this .
i saw same issue in forum but without solution

Problem importing application to different work space in different schema

Hi
I have developed a application in scheme 'A' in the workspace 'B'. When I tried to export the same application in Scheme 'X' and work space 'Y' it is giving the following error while running the imported application in schema 'X' and workspace 'Y'. Please let me know, how I can resolve this problem.
ORA-0000: normal, successful completion

Tnx

What version are you using?
Can you import the app into your workspace on apex.oracle.com where we can see it fail?

Apex import

If I have an existing set of apex application on one database and want to load a new set of applications for another database,
1,. Do I have to delete all the existing applications on the current database before importing the new ones. (Can I do this in a batch or script more)?
2. Can I import over the existing applications with the new applications?
example.
I have a development database where my developers are creating Apex applications. I want to refresh this database daily with production data but this will overlay my developers Apex application on the development database.
So if I run the Apex export utility "APEXExport" to export the applications from the development database and after the development database has been refreshed with Production data run the Apex import utility to restore the development database Apex applications.
Will this work or do I have to delete the Apex aplications from the development database first?

initially this package is not granted to any schema. So before importing app, execute (logged as sys):
grant execute SYS.DBMS_CRYPTO to schema_name;
where schema_name is schema which contain Appex app you are trying to import.
Hope this helps.

Getting an ORA-01003 error importing images using Apex import options

I took an export of the images from my application (would be nice if this was included in the applicatoin export options)
When I try to import, I get the following error
Execution of the statement was unsuccessful. ORA-01003: no statement parsed
begin wwv_flow.g_import_in_progress := true; end;
ORA-01003: no statement parsed
This worked for me on apex.oracle.com.. can't do it on any of my apex instances.
I am able to import applications without a problem
Any suggestions?

Anyone have any ideas?

SQL Injection threat with APEX developed applications

We are using a tool, HP WebInspect, to scan some of our APEX developed applications for web application security testing and assessment. We are getting some critical and high vulnerabilities identified (see below) and would like to know if someone else has encoutered these and to determine a solution, whether it be a setting/settings within APEX or is it more related to the application and the way it was developed.

You can help us by telling us your first name, putting it into your profile, and by selecting a friendlier handle.
The details you showed indicate no SQL injection possibilites whatsoever. The "Critical" examples also are unrelated to Application Express applications that you may have developed (application 4550 is the login application for the product itself and should rarely be used by end users in production environments).

Post Create/Import Application Wizard Action

I'm fairly new to working with SCCM 2012 R2 so most of this will be pure ignorance.
I've had a fairly easy time learning how to craft my own forms and extensions using C# and xml. I'm even getting more and more comfortable using the Admin UI Console Editor; though the sheer amount of detail in that is a bit overwhelming trying to digest
(Series of walkthroughs anyone?)
What I'm wondering is there a way and if so how do I link up a post wizard action to run after the standard create or import application wizard finishes.
Right now I already have a custom wizard that sends an existing application information including it's parent folder tree and it's deployments to our intranet document repository, But that's based on our Application Section in configuration manager organized
in the following way (All are folders obviously except the final item)
Applications
<Manufacturer/Publisher>
<Product>
<Version>
<Actual Application>
I would like to fire up a follow up action to automatically create the folder structure based on the above information provided in the application wizard, and then move the application into its intended destination folder
I could add the logic into my custom documentation form but I would rather have it be something that happens when an application is created so it's one less thing our software packaging staff has to worry about.
Thanks in advance for any help and direction on this.
Ryan

Hi,
How about writing a script to create a application and the script contains codes of creating folder and moving application to a folder?

Apex Custom Application Behaviour

I've got a Apex custom application that utilizes AJAX. In essence its a custom drop down list within a search bar.
If i login to my workspace and run application the drop down list works. If i try to just login to the application(no workspace login) drop down list doesnt work. I receive no error messages.

In Firefox, the javascript console shows these errors when you're not logged in to the development environment and you run your page:
