How To Set Apache Environment Variables From Forms
Dec 27, 2012
We have an application, where we invoke a URL pointing to a folder on the Application Server, so that users can download files from the same.
There is user authentication provided for the URL.
Example :
Our application ABC (example) which is built with Oracle Forms 10g, hosted on Application server (itxxx123) inovkes a module GEN9999 which on pressing a button calls a URL which is open in the Internet Explorer browser.
If the URL has been called from the Forms or the Application (ABC), then it should be allowed.
If the URL is called standalone, by Opening IE Browser and invoking the URL, this should not be allowed.
However, there have been security concerns raised during Audit, saying that users can access the URL directly from the Browser instead of the Application. Also the URL is saved the Browser history, so even if the user is no longer working in the Application Team, and has moved out of the team, then the ex-user can still access the URL and view and download files.
Is there any way to restrict access to the URL such that is only accessible when it is called from the Application, and that access is restricted when directly called from the Browser.
I have seen that environment variables in httpd.conf may be usable for the above. However, not sure how to use them from Oracle Forms.
I have an 11g installation on a school harddrive that doesn't seem to have any of the environment variables set properly. Even ORACLE_HOME is not set. How can I fix that situation and how many environment variables need to be defined?
Also some of the Oracle scripts seem to use the forward-slash rather than the back-slash for paths. Will Win7 care?
An application uses one user as a container of objects(this user is stripped of ALL privileges), and other users that can access objects in this unique schema depending on their privileges.
There can be multiple installations of the application in one database, therefore many such schemes. An environment variable APP_UNIQUE_SCHEMA points to a current unique schema.
So instead of typing
select * from my_unique_schema.my_table I want to set a current schema for sqlplus session in glogin.sql.
It would have been nice if I could have entered in glogon.sql the following line
alter session set current_schema=$APP_UNIQUE_SCHEMA;
BUT it does not work. sqlplus does not resolve the reference to an environment variable. I cannot figure out how to get the value of an environment variable in sqlplus.
I'm trying to move my backup sets from windows database environment, to OEL 5.7 environment on another server.
I've found a manual [URL] by which I am trying to do it.I took backup sets from last night's backup using RMAN,and the current parameter(initSID.ora) file from the running live database.Now i need to configure control files in the pfile accordingly.
1. can i take current control files from the running system, to restore and recover backup sets from last night, to the state the database was at backup time?
2. how can i find out if control files are backed up and know by RMAN? "list backup completed after '2012-JUN-19';" >> gives me Archive redo logs, datafiles, but don't see the control files(or don't reconize them).
Machine details : UNIX machine Solaris 10 OS.I am not able to start the apache server using opmnctl startall command. i am getting the below error message
QUOTE Error --> Process (pid=823) failed to start a managed process after the maximum retry limit Log: /usr/local/oracle/OH_STANDOHS/opmn/logs/HTTP_Server~1
Even i tried killing the process id = 823 , i am getting the same error message with different process id.
I am hoping to test the behavior of a complex web application that is backended by an Oracle 9i database, against an upgrade to 11g database.
The current setup runs basically on 4 Solaris servers, The database, the Oracle Application Server (version 10 something) (2 instances running on the node/server with no OHS), an install of OAS/OHS as a load balancer box, and the non-OHS Apache2 web server front. Apache takes the request from the web and reverse-proxies it to the OHS load balancer, which sends it to one of the two instances on the single application server. This is a java application and uses an Oracle 9i database to feed it.
I have had enough server resources to clone the database, the app server and the web server, and upgrade the database to 11g. I am unable to setup an OHS load balancer box.
So my question is, how do I configure the Apache WS to communicate directly with the OC4J container(s). I can shut down an instance if that simplifies things. Or, if I had to I could look into standing up OHS in the OAS install, as that seems to be where all the info is focused on the technical info sites (Oracle and others), but since these are clones and I think it might be easier to just short circuit around the now missing load balancer box. Many configurations have already been done to be sure the 'clone' identifications are self-referencing, like the hosts file, etc. to point to resources in the Cloned environment.
This error occurs while trying to print a report in a PDF format using Oracle Application Express 3.0. I'm not sure what this means and how to fix it. I'm running Oracle 10g on Windows Vista.
ORA-29273: HTTP request failed ORA-06512: at "SYS.UTL_HTTP", line 1186 ORA-12570: TNS: packet reader failure
This is the first time I'm attempting to print to a PDF. I did follow configuration according to the Oracle documentation. I selected the Standard configuration that uses the built-in Apache FOP or another standard XSL-FO processing engine.
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?
Which of the below is considered a bind variable. In example one proc. Test the parameter p1 is directly used in the query, so this can be considered as a bind variable.
Is that true about the second proc. where p1 is assigned to a local variable v1 , or this needs hard parsing because v1 is not a bind variable ?
Create or replace procedure test(p1 IN VARCHAR2,p_refcursor OUT SYS_REFCURSOR) IS BEGIN OPEN p_refcursor FOR select * from Test_tab WHERE item=p1; END; ------------ Create or replace procedure test1(p1 IN VARCHAR2,p_refcursor OUT SYS_REFCURSOR) IS v1 varchar2(100):=p1; BEGIN OPEN p_refcursor FOR select * from Test_tab WHERE item=v1; END;
Below is my code for calling a report from form in windows environment. I want to use the same report to be called from Unix environment . When m using application server tbanner@.... instead of 'repsrv@ahad-pc' is throwing error its in UNIX environment

I'm using forms 9i. Let's say I have a Block in the form B1. It has two items I1 and I2. I have a table called T1 that has a column say C1. The data in the only record in T1 is 'NAME_IN(''B1.I1'') = 1 OR NAME_IN(''B1.I2'') = 2'..In forms I need to execute the following at POST-QUERY trigger of the block:-
DECLARE VAR1 VARCHAR2(1000); BEGIN SELECT C1 INTO VAR1 FROM T1; [code]....
As you could see that the IF statement is wrong. But I get the condition (for IF condition) as a string value from some database table.
assigning values to a particular variable that i need for my button trigger. I Understand that you can assign multiple values to a variable that has a varchar or char data type....is there a way to assign multiple values to a variable that has a 'number' data type?? I need this for my 'where' clause
declare usergrade varchar(4) := 'pass'; user_unitcode number(6) := ;--needs three unit codes to equal pass
Error - FRM-18103:Failed to initialize the Development Environment I have installed Oracle 11g and Oracle Developer Suite 10g in separate oracle homes.
When I try to open Oracle form builder I am receiving 'FRM-18103:Failed to initialize the Development Environment' error.
I have been learning to create pdf report with Apex 4.2 and BI Publisher 10 which I have been successful with. Now I like to learn how to create pdf reports using FOP thinking of the customers who will not spend money on BI Publisher. I have gone through the documents and procedures described in Java 4 Less.[URL] and [URL]. Configured Apex instance setting accordingly.
For default layout a tabular pdf report is created. I have created an xsl-fo file named Formatted_report.fo on same query and xml file from report query with BI Desktop. But when I try to print a formatted output with Formatted_report.fo report layout it does not work(J4LFOPServer ). but same layout with .rtf template works fine (BI Publisher Print Server).
Im using pl sql to generate a web page using an apache server and the thing is that im trying to send cookies to the client but im also using an LDAP server for roles and user administration but the thing is that the cookie file does not appear in the client when sending by pl sql.
I am currently working in form 10g and i m newbie to that technology...I want to debug my form and also check step step by values of variables which i defined.
i am using client-server environment without using a domain.On One computer i have installed Oracle 8.0.5 and developer 2000. and on client side i have installed form 6i. i have made a service (star) in Tnsnames.ora in client side.

(2) Whats the difference between CSR_HOME and GRID_HOME ?? (3) If not using ASM in RAC environment, should I still need to create "storage administration role" (i.e. SYSASM/OSASM..) ? (4) Is password file necessary for RAC instances in each node ?
I faced a problem in our production primary DB like the listener was running but it was not connecting through the remote system, when i accessed the primary database.
But when i restarted the listener it started connecting. I want to know the reason for this crash/freeze.

im as using oracle 8 with sqltools i have a Very large query. and i notice that many things are repeating. so i want to add them to a variable, instead of re-typing them.for example:
select SomeID from SomeTable;
i want SomeID to be put into a variable.but i still want to be able to get a normal select query at the end so that i can see the returned value:
i tried things like: declare x number; begin set x=45454 select x from SomeTable; end;
CREATE OR REPLACE TRIGGER PPMAPP.PPMCR_HH_CHR_TRG AFTER UPDATE ON PPMCR_STEN.PPMCR_HH_CHARACTERISTICS
[code].....
The cursor HH_ATTR_CSR returns a set of values and I'm iterating each values using a loop, but when comparing the post and pre values, I have to use the variable(HH_ATT_VAR) instead of column names.Usually we give it as (re.XXXX_YYYY) but the cloumn names has to be given in the form of a variable got from the cursor like (re.HH_ATT_VAR).In doing so, I'm getting an error as "bad bind variable" So,Is there any to view the old and the new value in the local?
Below is the code I am facing problem using tablename as variable.
I have five tavble is scheme Emp1,Emp2..Emp5
CREATE OR REPLACE procedure emp_up as tablename1 varchar2(30) ; Begin For x in 1..5 LOOP tablename1 := 'EMP' ||to_char(x); EXECUTE IMMEDIATE 'update '||tablename1 || 'set ename = ''ZZZZZ'' where ename in (''MILLER'')'; END LOOP; End;
The following code is getting the 'Not all Variables bound' error. There are only two variables so I don't see the order being an issue. Assume the integers are assigned elsewhere.
DateTime beginDT = new DateTime(yearInt, monthInt, dayInt, hourInt, minuteInt, secondInt); DateTime endDT = new DateTime(yearInt, monthInt+1, dayInt, hourInt, minuteInt, secondInt);
SQL.Append(" WHERE DATE >= :beginDTParameter "); SQL.Append("AND DATE < :endDTParameter");
