Application Express :: Installation (or Upgrade) Supporting Objects On Command Line
Mar 31, 2013
is it currently possible to install the supporting objects using sqlplus?
When I export an APEX application which contains supporting objects (scripts to install images, css files, tables and seed data) I can run this script on the command line using sqlplus to install the application into the target environment.
After installing the application (which works fine), I cannot invoke the installation of the supporting objects nor the upgrade of the the supporting objects.
Am I overlooking the obvious, have checked APEX_APPLICATION_INSTALL but there is no function available for that purpose?
We're migrating our first APEX application from one server to another. The export and import are done, but we're having problems with supporting objects (we get a login prompt but no images). Okay, so I figured out how to get the supporting objects into a script.
When I run it I get:
declare * ERROR at line 1: ORA-20001: Package variable g_security_group_id must be set. ORA-06512: at "APEX_040100.WWV_FLOW_IMAGE_API", line 12 ORA-06512: at "APEX_040100.WWV_FLOW_IMAGE_API", line 32 ORA-06512: at "APEX_040100.WWV_FLOW_API", line 10508 ORA-06512: at line 6
connecting as the parsing_schema user to run the script. I did that but still get the same error.
Trying to upgrade APEX within an Oracle XE database installation on Windows 7. The version of APEX that came with Oracle XE is 4.0.2. Trying to upgrade to 4.1.1 and, from the SQL*Plus command-line (ie. the 'Run SQL Command' tool which comes with Oracle XE), I try to run @apexins.sql.
It starts to run momentarily, then the MS-DOS windows just closes. Can not find any install log to determine the cause.
Recently I remember reading what I think was a blog post on placing the last column of a report underneath the penultimate column - I think it was for classic reports.
I think it was done with some magic in the column definition, or maybe some jQuery?Agnostic to version. It was a more robust solution than using a HTML expression of#COL2#<BR>#COL3#
Oracle 11.2; application express 4.1...I have a table with a unicode clob column into which I insert descriptive text. Within these text entries I have inserted CR/LF (00D00A). However when I display the text entries in a report, the text streams instead of appearing with separate lines.
My report statement: select text_entry_dt, entry_authy_nm, entry_text from obj_text where obj_id = :P41_FIND_ID and text_type_cd = 'DES'
hat to do to obtain line separation within the entry_text content?
I am using textarea item to enter and save data into table but saved data doesn't retain all formatting eg line breaks so how can i format the text entered in the textarea so it retains line breaks when saved in the table or sent in the email via APEX_MAIL.SEND... in APEX 4.1.1,
I need to add the calculation of the amount in an invoice line.
I write the item description, the price, the quantity and the tax. Which is the best solution to calculate the total price of the line. I think to add a SQL function after the button “Add line” is clicked.
We have upgraded our environment to Apex 4.2.1. We have an older application that makes use of Apex Lib. We cannot remove Apex Lib from the application without a lot of work.
Apex Lib is now throwing an error:
in package apexlib_error procedure addApexValidationErrors WWV_Flow.g_validation_ids_in_error does not exist.
I have downloaded Oracle 11g XE and installed it on my laptop, Win 7 Enterprise Everything works great, DB admin page comes up, APEX comes up (4.0.2.x). I download the Apex_4.2.3_en.zip. I extract the zip file and then follow the instructions in, Downloading from Oracle Technology Network essentially the apexins.sql, apxldimg.sql with the admin password changes and anonymous user unlock. This is the install command, @apexins SYSAUX SYSAUX TEMP /i/
I get the Error processing request ORA-010403: no data found.
Post the upgrade , applications that were existing before the upgrade are not working properly.
Errors faced:1.When we edit any page in application - we get no data found error2.
When we run any application - We get no data found error We are able to create new applications without any issues.Luckily , we had the export backup of one application taken before upgrade. We imported that back( only one application ) and that application is working fine. We imported the application in apex.oracle.com as well and get the same error[URL]... occurs during page 'Edit' as well.
Email no longer working for users after upgrading from 4.0 to 4.1. New 'principal' APEX_040100 added to same ACL as previous version's principal APEX_040000. In fact, both still exist in ACL.
Error code in APEX Admin Mail Queue: ORA-24247: network access denied by access control list (ACL)
What could be causing the email facility within APEX to no longer work?
When we upgraded the database from 10g to 11g, Apex upgrade failed. Due to the failure, I removed the old schema and did a fresh install of Apex 4.1. It is working but we lost the applications from previous Apex.
What is the best strategy when you need both database and Apex upgrades? We are a Linux workshop, setting up Apex in Oracle Fusion Middleware 11g environment.
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 have been given the task to modify our company's Apex from 4.1 to 4.2. The upgrade has been completed; in addition, the current UI, blue and tan has been updated to BlueJay. I have noticed the structure of the page gets shuffled as well as contents within modules. What would be the best way to "re-organize" my pages.
- Would it be easy for me modify the page, if so how do I do this. The settings look identical, so what would I change ? - Do I recreate the entire page from scratch ?
I have enabled SSO for my application. It was working in 4.1 version. I have upgraded to 4.2 now and the same code doesn't work now.I have created an authentication scheme where i check if a particular person is an employee based on a flag. If he is, then I return 1 to the authorization scheme i have created. This always returns 0 even if the flag is set to 'Y'. I have tried hard coding the user_id as well. It doesn't work.
I tried printing the :APP_USER but it does not give any output.
Apex has been upgraded from 4.1 to 4.2.2. I don't know if the upgrade was done correct or not by the administrator, but I don't have the page edit link anymore,
and anytime I run a individual page from the Edit Application, I have to Log in. Did something went wrong during the upgrade or is this the behavior of Apex now, which I don't think so.
URL....The upgade from 4.0 to 4.2 went fine, existing applications work, Builder works fine. But none of the packaged applications install, all of them fail with that error. Is there some post-upgrade step to complete to get this to work?
Also, it doesn't appear like we can select the application id when installing these applications! Our environment has a convention, of sorts, for application ids. Is there a way to over-ride the app id?
We just upgraded to APEX 4.2.2.00.11 and we are getting ORA-24247: network access denied by access control list (ACL) errors form apex_mail. This had been working correctly prior to the upgrade.
After upgrading to Apex 4.2 I'm now unable to test Report Queries. Each time I click on the Test Report button via Shared Components|Report Queries I recieve the following error message:
ORA-20001: The printing engine could not be reached because either the URL specified is incorrect or a proxy URL needs to be specified.
I still have Apex version 4.1 installed on a different server and it appears to be working fine.
I have some Oracle Databases and sometimes for me is easier to access to the databases with SQLPLUS instead SQLDEVELOPER or TOAD.
But i can't reach to a good configuration of command line prompt to do queries against the database, normaly if it returns a lot o rows and columns it is unreadable.
I got a bug related to update information in APEX.
the situation occurs when I go to update a record the button Apply changes disappeared, it shows me only the button create, so when the user click on it, it creates a duplicate.. so how can i have the button "apply changes" back?
When uploading a static text/javascript file (i.e. filename = 'thisFile.js') the file Mime Type defaults to 'application/octet-stream' (instead of 'text/javascript'). This issue occurs in I.E. 8 but not in Firefox.
I'm running a mobile application on a hosted Apex environment which uses lots of jQuery mobile. The environment has been updated to 4.2 recently, and since that happened pages that I had setup to use the content grid, to show content in 3 columns no longer works, there only appears to be 1 column now.
I've created a Java class in my Oracle DB that calls a Visual Basic program to convert a XLS file into a CSV file in order to load it into an external table. The problem that I have is that when I call the Visual Basic program from the Java class, nothing happens. I had the same problem with a Python program, and I thought that the problem was from Python, but now with Visual Basic the problem remains, both aren't executed.
The strange thing is that when I call the same Java class outside Oracle, directly from a command line, it executes both Python and Visual Basic programs.
Here is the Java class defined in Oracle:
CREATE OR REPLACE AND COMPILE JAVA SOURCE NAMED "OSCommand" AS import java.io.*; public class OSCommand{ public static void Run(){ try {
[code]....
And here is the procedure that calls the Java class:
create or replace procedure run_os_command as language java name 'OSCommand.Run()';
I have recently upgraded our test APEX environment from 3.2.1 to 4.1.1.00.23. Everything went smoothly - I have only one small but annoying problem. In both administration and administration services some background graphics are not displayed. This issue occurs only under Mozilla Firefox (in MS IE it OK). The application frontend is OK in both browsers.
Under Firefox, I inspected the sourcecode in Firebug and the relative links to images. e.g.
somehow related to the fact that our application is accessed via apache proxy. Because when I open the administration and/or administration services page in FF directly on the server, it displays correctly (incl. images).
But the network (Apache proxy) configuration is exactly the same as in the previous version of APEX where we had no problem. Something must have changed in the sourcecode of the new version.
I need to recreate my table in order to change the column order. When I use the SQL Commands window and run the SQL, it runs successfully, creates the new table, but doesn't reorder the columns. Is this expected behavior?
