Application Express :: Apex Listener Versus The Embedded PL/SQL Gateway

Jan 24, 2013

What are the pro's and con's to using the APEX Listener vs the Embedded PL/SQL gateway?

We just started using APEX and on a development server, we set it up using the EPG because this seemed like the easier thing to do. However, they now have a couple apps that are approaching production status and I now need to look at placing the APEX runtime on our production Oracle Database server. So I am trying to decide if I should continue using the EPG or if I should use the APEX Listener.

The server is Windows Server 2008 Enterprise R2 (64 Bit) with Oracle 11g R2 (11.2.0.3.0) also running at 64 bit. I am planning on using APEX 4.2.1.

I have also not found information about how to move APEX application from development to production. Do I export the schema from the dev server and import it to the production server? Do I have to recreate the same workspace name on the production server as well?

use a separate dev and production server setup for APEX?

Application Express Listener :: APEX Listener With APEX 3.0 On 11gR2?

Jun 29, 2012

We have many many APEX applications in APEX 3.0 running on a 10.2.0.4 database that needs desperately to be upgraded. As a test, I've set up a clean 11gR2 database and copied the production APEX database into it via datapump. I set up APEX Listener, as I don't have any OAS sitting around and the EPG doesn't seem to be supported for APEX 3.0... the Listener doesn't say one way or the other.

When trying to log in, I get the login page, but it tries to reference files such as apex_get_3_1.js while I only have files such as htmldb_get.js in my images directory in production. I noticed it is looking for what appears to be 3.1 files instead of 3.0 files... which concerns me.

The APEX listener appears to be more than just a Java PL/SQL gateway.

Is there a minimum version of APEX the APEX Listener supports?

Application Express :: PDF Printing Via APEX Listener

Oct 21, 2013

I'm attempting to configure printing via the APEX listener and I'm struggling to understand it.  I currently use Oracle HTTP server as the web server for APEX.  I have installed the APEX listener and configured it.  If I connect via the APEX listener, PDFs work correctly.  If I connect via the Oracle HTTP server, I get an error with PDFs.  Am I required to connect with the APEX listener for PDF printing?  I thought I could configure APEX listener for PDF printing on the backend and still connect via Oracle HTTP server. I'm use APEX 4.2.3, APEX Listener 2.0.5, and Oracle DB 11.1.0.7.

Application Express :: LDAP Authentication Using Embedded Weblogic Server

Sep 28, 2012

I am trying to use embedded weblogic server for creating an LDAP authtication secheme but it is not working

I believe that embedded ldap server works on the same port as the admin server of the domain but configuring it has been a pain. I got the following code from forum to test the ldap connection

declare
l_retval pls_integer;
l_retval2 pls_integer;
l_session dbms_ldap.session;
l_ldap_host varchar2(256);
[code]........
  
Every time I run this, I get the following error

ldap session : 01000000(returned from init)
error: ORA-31202: DBMS_LDAP: LDAP client/server error: Invalid credentials

Application Express Listener :: Using PL/SQL Procedure / Function In Resource Template (listener 1.1.3)

Feb 15, 2013

I'd like to call an existing function/procedure from a resource template. For example, I have a procedure called 'rest' with an out parameter of 'p_out' - how do I use this within a resource template?

At the moment I have defined the template as type 'PL/SQL Block' and with the 'GET' defined as:

begin
myschema.rest(:p_out);
end;

APEX_PUBLIC_USER has been granted 'all' on the procedure. The p_out is populated with a piece of text.

When I call this resource, I get a '500 Internal Error' returned. I've tried adding p_out as an X-APEX-FORWARD parameter, but nothing seems to work.

Query-based templates seem to work OK.

Using Listener 1.1.3 with Tomcat6.

Application Express :: Pass Header Variable From OAM To Apex And Read It In Application?

Mar 4, 2013

We have integrated Oracle Access Manager 11gR1 with Oracle Apex 4.1. The OAM-Apex integration is working fine. Now we want an additional header variable to be passed from OAM to the Apex application. This new header variable will be user's sAMAccountName in Active Directory. OAM is integrated with AD and the AD users are successfully able to access the Apex applications.

The three header variables which are configure in OAM right now are:
Header variable name Value
1. OAM_REMOTE_USER $user.userid
2. OAM_REMOTE_USER_EMAIL $user.attr.mail
3. OAM_REMOTE_USER_GROUPS $user.groups

We need an additional header variable as mentioned below:
Header variable name: OAM_SAMACCOUNTNAME
Value: $user.attr.samaccountname

The new header variable was added in the OHS server's dads.conf file like shown below:
=========== dads.conf =============
...
PlsqlCGIEnvironmentList HTTP_OAM_REMOTE_USER
PlsqlCGIEnvironmentList HTTP_OAM_REMOTE_USER_GROUPS
PlsqlCGIEnvironmentList HTTP_OAM_REMOTE_USER_EMAIL
PlsqlCGIEnvironmentList HTTP_OAM_SAMACCOUNTNAME

But we are not able to read the value of this attribute in the Apex application.On the Apex application, we have a text box which shows the value of this header variable. This textbox is attached with the following stored procedure call to fetch the header variable:
===================
begin
:P1_HEADER_VALUE := owa_util.get_cgi_env( 'HTTP_OAM_SAMACCOUNTNAME' );
end;

The textbox shows the correct value if HTTP_OAM_REMOTE_USER is passed to the get_cgi_env method but does not shows anything when HTTP_OAM_SAMACCOUNTNAME is passed to the same method. if I am missing some configuration to pass the HTTP_OAM_SAMACCOUNTNAME haeder variable from OAM to Apex.

Application Express :: Button Placement On APEX Application Page?

Mar 6, 2013

How do I center a button within a region? I tried 'align="center"' but this seemed to be ignored. The button is at the left of the screen. Also, what are the 'display points' (Page Template Region Position 1-8) used for, and why is there a specification for column position of 1-9? Could these be attributes that will allow my button to be centered on the window instead of on the left?

Application Express :: Copying A Translated Application In APEX?

Sep 17, 2013

I have a translated application in Apex, my Apex version is 4.2.1.00.08. The application is in production version, many people are using it on daily basis. The application's primary language is English, and it has translations for 5 languages. Everything is working fine now; even if there are minor changes in the application, we are able to seed it, download the XLIFF files and than publish the modifications into all translations. Simple so far.  My problem is that I wanted to 'clone' the application including its translations to a new one since I plan to rebuild some parts of it. I want to keep the current version untouched, not to bother users. The new application should be in the same workspace, with a new ID. I have tried a couple of approaches: Copy the primary application enabling the option 'copy translation' - this creates a new app, and also seems to create new translated applications, which are empty (not seeded, not published). Export the primary application and than import it with a manually defined new application ID. Than do the same with the translated applications and set the proper IDs in the translation mapping part of Shared components > Translation. When I try to run the primary application, it is working, but for translated versions... Only an error saying that the application page does not exist. The purpose is to clone the whole thing by keeping the connection between the primary and the translated applications, so that if I change something in the primary application, it can be seeded into the translated ones later. In the same time I want to keep translations as well, since there are thousands of strings...

Installed Apex with Embedded PL/SQL Gateway.Explicitly followed all the online instructions step-by-step, installation was success and config for EPG had no issues.  Changed the ADMIN pw as instructed.  Checked that EPG is running on port 8080.  Ran this script to grant connect: 

DECLARE  ACL_PATH VARCHAR2(4000);BEGIN  -- Look for the ACL currently assigned to '*' and give APEX_040200  -- the "connect" privilege if APEX_040200 does not have the privilege yet. SELECT ACL INTO ACL_PATH FROM DBA_NETWORK_ACLS  WHERE HOST = '*' AND LOWER_PORT IS NULL AND UPPER_PORT IS NULL;[code]....

that lets power users to connect to everywhere', 

'APEX_040200', TRUE, 'connect');  DBMS_NETWORK_ACL_ADMIN.ASSIGN_ACL('power_users.xml','*');END;/COMMIT;  

When I go to log in it says "Invalid Login Credentials".  I tried changing the admin pw several times but keep getting the same message.

Application Express :: Get ID (Number) Of Apex Item

Jan 15, 2013

I am wanting to open up an Item's Help popup feature using a different button.

I understand I need to call:

javascript:popupFieldHelp($('1234567','&SESSION.');

Where 1234567 is the items id.

So my question is how do I get the items ID?

I thought it was something similar:

$('#P1_ITEM_TEST').attr('id')

But this returns P1_ITEM_TEST, I want the ID or Sequence of the item.

Application Express :: How To Call Apex From Forms Without SSO

Feb 6, 2013

We'll soon start an upgrade of our Forms / Reports 6i Application to 11g. I was wondering, maybe, it would be nice to add some value for the upgrade process as a whole, using some of Apex new features like web mobile interface or maybe an integration between Forms an Apex, for example to provide users with the powerful features of Interactive Reports, just to name one.

I have found this interesting link: URL.... (not a 100% clear for me, but at least it is a start).Obviously, to make it attractive, one would expect automatic login between the two Apps. As far as i know, this could be done like this:

1) Using SSO. With that a Portal / Forms / Reports/ Discoverer/ version would be mandatory (too expensive for some clients).

2) Oracle Access Manager? Not sure, can Oracle Forms connect to Access Manager? or LDAP? How about the licensing costs?. Not a clue.

3) Make all Apex pages public? Not feasible.

4) Now this one: in our forms application, every user authenticates within the application and we internally map that application user to an actual database user. At all times we hold metadata info about the current user (app, and DB), as well as application context. So this is my question:

It is possible to create an Apex app, with database authentication method, and somehow pass the metadata from forms, and have a kind of custom login procedure that does all the application to DB user conversion process and application context setting?

I've tried loading it into the Shared Components - Images, but it failed b/c the file was too large. I was considering loading it into a database table, but was hoping there might be an easier way. Right now we just have a link to the video on YouTube, but want something more professional.

Application Express :: Updating Records Within APEX?

Mar 11, 2013

I've created a system for managing football within APEX and it is at a stage now whereby the user can view any number of the tables through Reports and insert data into these tables through Tabular Forms. Its using triggers and sequences to allow for new primary keys to be generated each time within these Tabular Forms so I'm at a stage now where I'm really quite pleased with it..

The last thing I'm needing to do now is have it update certain fields when certain records are entered.

Clubs
clubId
clubname
gamesplayed
clubPoints
clubtotalgoals

Results

club1 (clubId foreign key from clubs table)
club2 (clubId foreign key from clubs table)
club1goals (the amount of goals, type Number)
club2goals (the amount of goals, type Number)
club1points (points earned, Type Number)
club2points (points earned, Type Number)

When filling out a result, the user will enter the following (as an example):

club1 - 1 (club with ID, 1)
club2 - 12 (club with ID, 12)
club1goals - 2 (the first club scored 2 goals)
club2goals - 0 (the second club scored 0 goals)
club1points - 3 (the first club picked up 3 points)
club2points - 0 (the second club picked up 0 points)

The result is then entered into the results table and what I am hoping to achieve at this stage is the following:

1) in the clubs table, the gamesplayed is incremented by 1 for both clubs as a result of playing this fixture

2) club1 has however many goals club1 scored added to its current clubtotalgoals field (in this case, it is of course 2)

3) club1 has however many points club1 earned to its current clubPoints field. (In this case it would be 3)

Application Express :: Updating APEX Collection Via JavaScript?

Aug 1, 2012

Note, I'm using APEX 4.1.1

The scenario is that I have tabular form that was manually created from a collection; the collection name is "COMPANY"

Within this tabular form, I have number of selection lists (apex_item.select_list) and for each, I fire off a JavaScript based on the "onchange" event (e.g.,'onchange="updateCollection(' || seq_id || ', 10, this.value)"'); updateCollection is a custom function I created. Right now, all it does is alert me with the specifics of the of the selection list. As a further example, if I select "Google" from the selection list, sequence id would be "1", attribute number would be "10" and attribute value would be "Google"

Within this JavaScript, I would like to update the value of this associated element in the "COMPANY" collection. Ideally, I would like to directly call this:

APEX_COLLECTION.UPDATE_MEMBER_ATTRIBUTE(p_collection_name => "COMPANY", p_seq => 1, p_attr_number => 10, p_attr_value => 'Google') but I could not figure out how to do this.

I am planning to build a AJAX Tree with check boxes, but I don't know where to pass that data to to update the selected columns. I'm sure their is a magic apex function that is passing the values of the current shuffle box, but as that is dynamically created, I have not be able to find that process / function.

Reason for this: Too many columns on the IR report. Want them divided by categories in a tree view. And no, I cant break the report up into multiple reports. Currently this report has 548 columns.

I was compiling the data views first, before moving on to report views. When I upload the views and ran them in the as a script, it said all of the views were created.When I went into object browser most of the views compiled. I recompiled the ones that were marked red. I compiled them in the code window, incase it threw an error, I can fix it there.

I had problems with views, before causing core dumps when I compiled them, but figured I had to compile the views in a certain order.

Application Express :: How Does Apex Determine Which Files To Serve

Apr 11, 2013

I'm using apex 4.2.1.00.08 and I cannot figure out how apex manages the static files and cannot find anything in the docs (other that some high level UI description). The application is serving some file and I cannot find which one it is in any easy way.

I have a workspace where there are several files that have the same name, and I cannot understand how apex figures out which one to serve, and also don't understand what is value of associating a file with an application.

There are files associated with application 0, which don't appear to show up in the "shared components", but can be seen as

SELECT *
FROM wwv_flow_files
WHERE flow_id = 0;

and can apparently only be deleted using "SQL Commands" inside apex. the URL called is something like

wwv_flow_file_mgr.get_file?p_security_group_id=13498126233076320&p_fname=myfile.css

so apparently the only parameters that matter are the workspace and the file name. The associated application is irrelevant. apparently files linked to flow_id 0 have precedence over all the other files..
