I have an internal linux server running 11i and APEX4 with HTTP server all apps work perfectly internally I have a server in the DMZ with modplsql configured to link to one of the apps in my internal network The problem I am getting is that although the external web server returns the home page, it does not render properly. as if all the images and styles and templates don't get passed through. (including buttons)
Dropdown lists all work but the dynamic actions on them don't, also the submit function does nothing when pressed.
I have multiple application set-up using session sharing within the workspace.Technically all works fine, however it does not play nice with user behaviour.
Example: Users logs into APP_ID:100. Since he isn't authenticated yet, he provides user/pass and the APP_SESSION is authenticated. Now if the user switches using to another application (using a link provided in application 100) he gets redirect to APP_ID:101:APP_SESSION all is fine.
The session is already authenticated, the application shares the session and the user gains access to app 101 without having to authenticate again. All's fine!
However users don't behave they way. Instead of using an easy link in the application. They will use their own bookmark or type in the url for app 101 manually. That way the next application is either called with f?p=101:1:[SOME OLD SESSIONID FROM BOOMARK] or f?p=101 (with no further page or session info) In both cases instead of using the already authenticated session apex spawns a new session, which of course isn't authenticated yet thus forcing the user to authenticate and come complaining they have to login again.
Similar behaviour problems exists when the user opens a browser and tries to open both applications in each in a tab next to each other.Both tabs fetch there own initial session id and start writing it to the same cookie each in turn invalidating the other tab's session.These can lead to some fanatic ping pong actions. Thus it's impossible to open 2 applications sharing session in the same browser.
Is there any remedy for these situations?Can apex be as smart as for instance first trying to resume the session stored in the cookie and only if that session is invalid, start a new session?
I tried my DBA hat today in an effort to set up the Apache FOP to allow users to download interactive reports as PDF. This was working previously - although I'm not sure how since there was no report printing infrastructure set up.We have APEX 4.1.1 using Apache on Windows server 2003.
It started because we saw one of two errors in the generated PDF ORA-20001: The printing engine could not be reached because either the URL specified is incorrect or a proxy URL needs to be specified.or ORA-06502: PL/SQL: numeric or value error: character string buffer too smallAs much of the documentation indicates, the first suggests a problem with ACL. I had a little trouble finding documentation stating specifically which acl should be defined for IR PDF printing, but we did ensure the listings in the dba_network_acl* views were current with
[code]...
/I'm still unable to identify where the second error (ORA-06502) is coming up - which is apparently new. So I attempted to deploy the fop.war file using EM, adapting instructions from [URL]...though I think I may have missed a mark since these instructions differ from using the OC4J EM - but I guessed there was fair correlation.
From the EM home on our app server, I created a new OC4J instance called "APEX_Reports"I then went to deploy the fop.war file using "fop" as application name, and "/fop/" as the map to url.
Back in APEX instance management, I set up Print Server: External (Apache FOP)Protocal: http Print server address: dev.ouractualdomain.com.au print server port: 18100 Print server script: /fop/apex_fop.jsp>
I used the same port as that in the EM address. I've also tried variations usinglocalhost8888fop/fop/apex_fop.jsp
The reason for the /fop/fop/ attempt was because I located the jsp file in C:Ora10gFRShomej2eeAPEX_Reportsapplicationsfopfop (I've been trying everything)
Other port numbers attempted include those types (JMS,RMI,AJP) listed for the APEX_Reports component.Do we need to restart anything or re-login to APEX before testing modifications?
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.
how to use checkbox item, and trying to get checked options values via application global arrays. So, this may be quite simple question, but I'm completely stuck here...
When I was looking through various threads and guides, I've encountered checkbox corresponding array names like "g_f01" - "g_f50". And so far i saw that these names are derived from item name in generated HTML code, for example:
<input type="checkbox" name="*f10*" value="3" />
And this one stands for array name "g_*f10*".However, when I tried to do the same thing - i receive item name which looks like "*p_v04*", and therefore, I can't figure out, which array name should I choose to adress it properly.
APEX 4.0 Sometimes, I am getting the below error when I tried to logging into APEX workspace (after giving workspace name, User name and password), Expecting p_company or wwv_flow_company cookie to contain security group id of application owner.
ErrorERR-7621 Could not determine workspace for application (:) on application accept. I found some threads related to this but in different way not exactly when I am getting this error.
After 2 or 3 times, this error will not come and I can able to logging into workspace What is the cause for this issue??
Each time when I import an application into my workspace in local 10g XE using the APEX 4.2 Application Builder, I get the "ORA-02291, constraint wwv_flows_fk violated..". The application I whant to import was originally exported from [URL]. I found out, that it has to to with wwv_flow_application_install.get_workspace_id in the installation script, which obviously returns NULL and not my current workspace id as I suppose it should. I replaced wwv_flow_application_install.get_workspace_id by '<my worskspace id>' and then the import does work.
I have an application that I'd like to prevent activity in after a certain time of day, say 3pm. Is there any way I can force logout of all current users and then prevent re-login until 9am the next day (short of deleting all of their login credentials and then recreating them the next morning)?
We have developed an application for our clients,planning to deploy it in client server soon. we have plans to support the application in future,so we want to restrict the clients from any modifications. By Doubt is, 'build_status=Run only' alone,cannot protect our application from client developers to edit our application,
Because though we install our application as 'Run Only' at the time of installation in client instance,we can still import the original application and change the type to 'Build and Run Application',and run the new application as 'Build and Run'.(which is not supposed to) we want to make sure,if there is any way we can protect our application from modifications after client side installation.
I'm trying to connect a javascript UI control within my page to an APEX Application Process. The control calls the application process via AJAX and appends a variable number of GET / POST parameters to its URL.What is the best way to obtain these parameters from within the PLSQL procedure of the process? Or is there a better way to connect my javascript AJAX control to the Database behind my APEX app?
I have some applications on Apex public workspace (apex.oracle.com), and suddenly the Tree View, on Application Builder stopped showing any content. If I select "Component View", I see the page components, but if I switch to tree view, it shows me only some empty frames.
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.
Unless I'm not understanding this error it means that it can find the ACTION part that is attached to the WHAT part of this Dynamic Action? The Dynamic Action does work when the application is run (in Development)also, there are 3 others that are similar to this one. The export was created by the export utility in the Application Builder.
If I export only the page and import that into Production the import is successful and the page runs correctly. This is error is happening only when I try to import the entire Application.There are many other changes made which is why I was trying to do an Application export/import instead of individual pages.
I have to modify the Form layout of an existing application (Application Express 4.0.2.) where the data for each field is retrieved using SQL statements
Presently the form looks something like this and the Data for each field is rendered properly in this layout:
UNIT # : 123456 ADMISSION #: 2012101510 DISCHARGE DATE: ADMISSION DATE: FIRST NAME: JON LAST NAME: DOEFIRST NAME, LAST NAME and UNIT # are all "Display Only" item type.
What I'm trying to do is to move "FIRST NAME" underneath "LAST NAME" and "UNIT #" next to "LAST NAME" This part is very simple. However, the issue I'm having is as soon as the "UNIT #" is moved next to "FIRST NAME", the data for "FIRST NAME" and "LAST NAME" simply disappear
This is how it looks ADMISSION #: 2012101510 DISCHARGE DATE: ADMISSION DATE: FIRST NAME: UNIT #: 123456 LAST NAME:
I have played around for hours and even created from scratch a new page with a new form using SQL statements to pull the data for each field, only to get the same result.
I have an application item that receives a web service result. This result is like 'MARIA','JOSE','JESUS'. I'm using this string into the parameters of the interactive report, but this is not recognized. I'm showing the content of the application item into a pl sql region and the content is 'MARIA','JOSE','JESUS', when I include this application item into the query, the IR shows me 'MARIA','JOSE','JESUS'
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 using Apex 4.2. On a click of button a Dynamic Action is written, which calls a DB Package. The DB package has exception handlers and also the package has two output parametersError Code and Error MsgSo in my code(Dynamic Code) i make a call to the package and checks the value for Erroc Code.
Begin Package call...... If v_error_code <> '0' Then Raise SC_Error; End if;Exception When SC_Error Then RAise_Application_error(v_err_code, v_err_msg);End;
But when i run the page and I click I get an Internal exception errorOutput from Debug -- I am not sure what the Cell in Red colour means, because the package is returning a correct message (before the red line).AJAX call returned server error ORA-20003:

I need to change "File Character" when I export application with Apex 4.2.1.00.08 version, but this option, is not possible. The ComboBox already select with
"Unicode UTF-8]', but I need "ISO-8859-1 - Europa Ocidental",
My question is, if I define an object type (create type ... as object ...) is it possible to hold a variable of this type as the session level? For example, if I am creating an order using multiple web pages, it would be much easier (and intuitive) to create and manipulate an order object than to hold the data in generic collections.
If that is not possible, is there some way to make a generic Apex collection appear more application specific? By this I mean some way to map the columns C001, C002, ... to more intuitive names such as CUST_NO and ORDER_DATE. I had considered possibly creating a view of the APEX_COLLECTIONS view which would rename the columns but then I would also have to create a bunch of instead of triggers if I wanted to update it as well.
I've been creating numerous sample applications. In my latest one, I've been working on custom security schema and it's been working great for the most part. The one issue I'm having is passing login values into my application items. Though I don't receive any error messages or anything, upon checking the value of the application items via the session button, they never contain anything. The code I have in place on my login page is as follows:
begin select username, user_id into :F56_USER_NAME, :F56_USER_ID from GS_USERS where username = lower( rtrim( ltrim( :P101_USERNAME ) ) ); [code].........
Is there a way to change the Application Builder theme? There are themes for applications; how about for the builder itself? I looked but did not see a selection for this.
I'm a Geek thru and thru, I guess, but I think you might have to be xxxx retentive to like all these square boxes. And these old eyes have to squint to focus among the vast sea of gray shades.
I downloaded a sample chart application from oracle website
[URL].......
it is working perfectly, but I want to know how it is build exactly. This is one of the queries,
"select null link, task_name, id, parent_task, start_date, end_date, decode(status,'Closed',100,'Open',60,'On-Hold',10,'Pending',0) status from eba_demo_chart_tasks order by project"
But I don't know where eba_demo_chart_tasks is stored, where can I find it!
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 make changes to a PL/SQL procedure in an application process and no matter what I do in the PL/SQL text (even removing semi-colons and messing up syntax) no changes register when I call the procedure from a page process. I've also tried creating a new application process with a similar procedure of a different name, and no page processes will allow me to call the procedure, saying that it needs to be declared. APEX 4.1.1
In Application Builder, is there a way to searching the application and replacing text within it?
I have an application item named "FORMAT_TYPE1". I would like to perform a find and replace action (just like a word processor) where any part of the application that has name or text "FORMAT_TYPE1" in whole or in part is replaced by the text "FORMAT_CATEGORY1". For example:
The find/search would do it in any attribute, source code in the application. There is only a Search Application feature, which is useful in identifying places, but lacks any replace function. Is there something else that will do this, besides exporting, editing the source code in a text editor, and then importing the application again?
Oracle XE 11g Apex 4.1 which was upgraded from 4.0 long ago. Win 7
I've changed the "Require HTTPS attribute" to Yes on the Security Settings page in Oracle Application Express Administration Services[URL]...and after applying the change, going to the DEV or administration pages [URL]...results in a redirection to [URL]...(again, respectively), and a redirect loop error.
When going to[URL]..., the browser redirects to[URL]...and gets the old-known "Application not found" error (which is OK, I guess - the error, not the redirect address).And the most strange thing - when going to the app I developed directly[URL]..., it works OK (no edit buttons, though, although I log in as admin).
I'm using apex 4.1.1.00.23.I'm wondering whether it is is possible to 'freeze' a production APEX application in a runtime-only installation, during an upgrade. I want to prevent strange behaviour for logged in end users. In the application builder one can set the availability of the application. I was thinking of making the application unavailable during the upgrade. Is this possible in a runtime only env? How? Or are there (better) alternatives?
