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?
I am new to APEX and I am developing an application to manage Oracle database user accounts. I have a page (8) that has text items for the username and the database name. I have a submit button (this works fine) that will issue the ALTER USER... statement to reset the user's password and unlock the account. I have another button that should:
get the value of the username - P8_USERNAMEassign it to an application item - FIND_USER_IN_DBredirect to page in application - to page 11
The issue is that FIND_USER_IN_DB does not get populated and page 11
which is a simple report with the following query:
I have a page with two regions the top region is an html region where users enter query criteria and generate an interactive report in the second region. The second region only displays if there are results from the query in the first region.
I would like to display a "No Results Found" message rather than a blank screen if there are no results found. However, I don't know exactly how to do that. I tried to do it in the Interactive Report region, however, once I added the Conditional display to only when exists rows in the Interactive Report from the query criteria.
I have an apex page with a link on one column for each row. My requirement is as below
When i click on the first time on any of that link, it opens up in a new window and any subsequent clicks should override the previously opened window. So at a time, there should be only 2 windows open..
1) the APEX page 2) The browser window after clicking on an link in apex page
I just started to play with this system and don't understand how to execute the the stored procedure (that creates report) from the APEX page. I know that they have sample documentation and java script call (show below):
<script language=”JavaScript” type=”text/javascript”> function callMyRep() { var formVal1 = document.getElementById(’P_PAR1′).value; var url; url = ‘rep1?p_session_id=&SESSION.’+'&p_par1=’+ formVal1; window.location.href=”f?p=&APP_ID.:12:&SESSION.”; w = open(url,”winRep”,”Scrollbars=1,resizable=1,width=800,height=600″); Close here. X [code]....
In this example rep1 is the stored procedure that creates report.How can I execute it using url?
In Application Builder, when editing an item's properties there is a handy 'Up' arrow at the top right of each region which takes you back to the top of the page. Is there any way of adding something similar to an actual page region as this would be useful when creating particularly large pages (I know, we should design smaller pages but that's not always possible).
i am trying to adjust the position of a button as below but i realized it gets a bit uneasy as i thought , style="position: absolute; left: 100px; top: 100px; "
I have requirement like I have to put a download button in report page and clicking it will download only few of the columns only (specified one). I am using Apex 4.2.
I have a report that contains a name that I want to pass in to a field in a form on a different region on the same page. My button located on the report is has its own column called ADD_LINK. Here is the button.
Once that button is clicked, I have the form region fade in. The region is called Add Tag to Employee, which has P4_ROWID, P4_EMPLOYEE_ID, and P4_TAG_ID. Once the region is displayed, I want the #NAME# to show in the P4_EMPLOYEE_ID.
I did copy this form from another page, where I had it working before. It made more sense to move it to this page for interface purposes, so maybe that tidbit will work as well.
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.
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...
I'm trying to set up a PL/SQL dynamic action that is triggered by clicking on a button. The dynamic action sets two values in a table and then I would like to redirect to another page. Setting the values works fine. The code is below:
declarel_information varchar2(255) := :P94_FILENAME;BEGINcommit;UPDATE VDI_METADATASET CREATEUSERLISTNAME = l_information, CREATEUSERLISTON = sysdate();commit;htp.init;owa_util.redirect_url('f?p=&APP_ID.:81:&APP_SESSION.::NO:::');END; The redirect fails with the following eror: "Error: parseerror: JSON.parse: unexpected non-whitespace character after JSON data"
how to redirect to a page from within PL/SQL . None of them result in success.
I use Apex 4.1.1.00.23. I need to run job from apex application and after job is ended I need to send e-mail with result to user who was started a job.
We are using Application Express 4.1.0.00.32 on Wondows XP and Oracle version is 10g. I've created a report in APEX and the user is insisting on putting a header on each page in PRINT of the report which should contain the "from date" and "to date", which are present on the select criteria on top.
Can I somehow add from_date and to_date items in Title so that when they print the report, they'll see the from and to dates in the title?Or is there someother way to do this. The report is an interactive report with a control break and user prints the report with file->print.
I have different public page (page1) and different page for authorized user(page5).Upon successful login after process validation ,computation it should navigate to authorized user page 5 but the branching does work it keeps on going to page 1 .
Having an issue with logging into URL.... Just went through the install for APEX 4.2 for
Oracle 11.2.0.1 on Linux 2.6.32-358.el6.x86_64 #1 SMP Fri Feb 22 00:31:26 UTC 2013 x86_64 x86_64 x86_64 GNU/Linux.
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]....
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?
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 want to print a report using the apex, but it looks like you need to configure BI, Is there an easy way to print it online and not print the page, which is page report.
I'd like to upload a video file (250MB) into our Apex app and have users click a link (Display Only item perhaps) and have the video launch either in Apex, or Windows Media Player. 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.
I have a requirement to view the PDF content in the apex page region, I am using Apex 3.2 and Oracle 10 Enterprise edition. I Uploaded the PDF file in the shared component under static file. Now i need to view the content of the PDF file. method to view the PDF content.
I saw the link in denes blog here he shows how the PDF is getting displayed. but there is no steps of methods mentioned
I have a requirement to connect to APEX application from outside (a java program). The basic requirement is to post some data to APEX DB by a scheduled task.
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.
I would like to run this procedure using a URL ... I have apex installed. What URL would I use. This procedure is compiled in the database. I have been trying to look thru the APEX installation guide for an example but I must be missing it somewhere.
CREATE OR REPLACE PROCEDURE ORASYSAD.HELLOWORLD is htp.print ('<hl>Hello World</hl>'); end;
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.
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)
