• Apex_util.get_blob function apex with unexpected behavior

  Hi Experts.

  I have been building a search application Apex and encountered an obstacle while testing the download url apex_util.get_blob.  It seems that the download url is valid only in the session that it was generated. Which means that this.  The url in step 2 below now returns a "500 - internal error Server error."  But when he was the first (i.e. Select download link generated in Apex app, right-click, and select Copy link location) the same url below has worked.  Is there a way to fix this?

  Here are my steps:

  (1) download a store a document by using the syntax of download: DOWNLOAD: GPAP_PROJECT_FILES:FILE_BLOB:ID:FILE_MIMETYPE:FILENAME: UPDATE: FILE_CHARSET:Inline:Download.

  (2) with FF or IE, when I select to cfopy lijnk, for example

  https://Apex.oraclecorp.com/pls/Apex/apex_util.get_blob?s=101780738579356 & a = 2853 & c = 35900184302057347654 & p = 19 & 307565788455977950718535285815317923965 = k1 & k2 = & ck = 23EE058993C510D8E30A6B23E12431E8 & rt = CR

  (3) result: if I paste this url in another browser of the session window 'even' as the file, it works fine.  But if I start a new browser instance/session and paste the url, even a "500 - Internal Server Error" results  This would be possible, and if so, can you please share suggestions?

  Thank you very much!

  Hi Mike,.

  I don't know about you really, but I see nothing you need to do as SYS, so I guess it works on apex.oracle.com

  Hello

  Use standart Apex API:

• apex_util.prepare_url - by the way a comma between the item values

  Hello
  
  I created an application to illustrate a problem I'm having with the help of apex_util.prepare_url: http://apex.oracle.com/pls/otn/f?p=test_prep_url
  
  ' Tab ' without prep. url "displays a chart linking from this page (1) 2 using the usual f? syntax of p in the link, through two values, one for p2_schema_name and one for the p2_job_name values hidden on page 2. It works fine and the page 2 table displays data based on these past in values.
  The link is set up as: ' f? p =' || : APP_ID | ':2:' || : APP_SESSION. ": NO:2:P2_schema_name, P2_JOB_NAME:' |" schema_name | ',' || JOB_NAME
  
  ' Tab ' with prep. url "displays a chart which links from this page (3) on page 4 use apex_util.prepare_url to prepare the connection, passing two values, one for p4_schema_name and one for the p4_job_name in the values hidden on page 4. However, the decimal point is rendered in the browser '% 252C' url and p4_schema_name has the value "SCHEMA_A % 2CJOB_3" and p4_job_name is null (instead of = "JOB_3"). Of course, no data is found.
  The link is set up as: APEX_UTIL. PREPARE_URL ('f? p =' |: APP_ID |) ':4:' || : APP_SESSION. ": NO:4:P4_schema_name, P4_JOB_NAME:' |" schema_name | ',' || JOB_NAME)
  
  So I say to myself that I send you the value of point across properly, but I don't know what I would do differently. I hope the demo app described my problem enough so that someone can point out my blunder.
  
  The reason why I use APEX_UTIL. PREPARE_URL is that I would like to use session state protection and through the amount of control, but until I can get the sorted comma, I can't turn on session state protection.
  
  Thank you for your help.
  
  Alan

  Update: it is not prepare_url that does. Prepare_url encodes the comma in the list of item as % 2 c values. Then when the table XML gets converted to a blob for output, the % sign is encoded again. We will have to figure out what to do about this. In the meantime, only one element value can appear in the f? p link in a flash (fixed SVG chart) chart.

• create and manage users within the application

  I use the wwv_flow_fnd_user_api to build screens to create, modify, and remove users from the application.
  
  So far, it all worked ok - I was able to build screens to create, edit and delete users, but I have a problem with the change of password.
  
  I tried to use the rest_pw procedure, but I have no idea of what it does
  
  procedure reset_pw)
  --
  -This procedure resets the current user password.
  --
  p_user in varchar2,
  p_security_group_id in varchar2,
  p_msg in varchar2)
  ;
  
  It takes 3 parameters, and I assumed that the p_msg was the password is reset to the chain. I tried to change to just "password" password changes so far but I have no idea what is new. There is very little information on the use of this API.
  
  I also tred using the edit_fnd_user procedure and everything works except change the password. For some reason, it remains the same. I guess there is more to the management of password and I was wondering if anyone can shed some light.

  Colin,

  You should stick with the documented API as much as possible, for example, apex_util.reset_pw and apex_util.edit_user.

  The reset_pw procedure generates a random password and automatically sends it to the user, as well as the text of the message you provide.

  I need to see your code to try to debug the problem edit_fnd_user.

• Other necessary permission for apex_util to APEX 5 vs 4.2

  Hello

  APEX 4.2 against APEX 5.0

  Using the EPG for the test.

  Accounts of the APEX

  I have a small procedure that retrieves the information of users with APEX_UTIL. FETCH_USER of a session not authenticated (the user did not connect to the app yet).

  APEX 4.2 I got it works by the granting of the APEX_ADMINISTRATOR_ROLE for the owner of the schema of the application.

  If I use the same configuration to the APEX 5 I get the below error:

  The nobody user requires ADMINISTRATOR privileges to perform this operation.

  Contact your administrator for the application.

  I also tried the grant execute rights on APEX_UTIL directly to the owner of the schema but no luck. In another installation with the ADR program I also tried to give the role and run rights to APEX_PUBLIC_USER, but it does not work.

  If I execute direct SQL procedure * more connected as the owner of the schema it works without problem so the change is probably the user executing the statement of APEX (in a configuration of ADR, it should be APEX_PUBLIC_USER).

  Can someone explain the difference of rights required between en 4.2, 5.0 or the user who is running the APEX session during the execution of APEX_UTIL procedures or point me in the direction of a solution?

  Kind regards

  It is due to changes without papers to security restrictions in the APEX 5.0. See:

  • APEX_UTIL error in oracle APEX 5
  • custom authentication apex 5 administrator privileges
  • Problem with APEX_UTIL. CREATE_USER in APEX 5.0

  It seems that the only way in which a 5.0 APEX session which is not authenticated as an administrator of the workspace can access user details using the apex_util.fetch_user is done by a convoluted workaround involving a scheduled job.

  Hi all

  CREATE OR REPLACE PROCEDURE create_user (p_username IN VARCHAR2, p_password IN VARCHAR2,

  Yes, at APEX 5.0, Oracle Application Express API access that modify requests or metadata workspace from an application are controlled by the application using the API Runtime security setting. Edit this option by going to

  Also note that the apex_util.set_security_group_id API is not necessary in the code that is called from a valid session of APEX.

• Question of Apex_Util.Prepare_URL due to the Apex Util advise msg

  Hello
  
  I have the following code in a SQL statement in an IRR:
  
  APEX_UTIL. PREPARE_URL (p_url = > ' f? p =' | v ('APP_ID') |) ': 398 :'|| v ('APP_SESSION'): ':NO:398:P398_IDOBJ. VIMG_SEARCH. IDOBJ:', p_checksum_type = > 'SESSION') FullImg,.
  
  And it works as expected. However when I run the Util Apex advise I get the following:
  Region Source attribute (identifies the source of the region, region Type of reference Source)
  Check the V function used in SQL statements
  Performance category
  Message contains V/NV/DV function call in the SQL statement (can be a performance issue).
  
  Do I need to worry about this? or should I change the syntaxt in the APEX_UTIL. PREPARE_URL settings?
  
  Thank you
  Daniel

  In SQL (PL/SQL within the APEX blocks) the notation of the bind variable must be used:

  APEX_UTIL.PREPARE_URL( p_url => 'f?p=' || :APP_ID || ':398:'||:APP_SESSION||'::NO:398:P398_IDOBJ:||VIMG_SEARCH.IDOBJ:', p_checksum_type => 'SESSION') FullImg,

• apex_util.prepare_url outside the ApEx

  Hello
  
  I'm trying to create a weekly task that sends an HTML email with links to the user session state protection application. However when I try to generate the URL with apex_util.prepare_url the checksum is not added to the chain. wwv_flow_api.set_security_group_id seems to have no effect.

  Dan,

  Unfortunately, you have to jump through hoops to do it. I posted recently a method that defines a session programmatically context, that is, from outside the simple HTTP request for an application. What follows is an adaptation that allows prepare_url to do its thing. You can connect to SQL * more like your application schema and check it out:

  set serveroutput on
  
  DECLARE  l_cgivar_name owa.vc_arr;  l_cgivar_val owa.vc_arr;  --  l_workspace_id number;  l_application_id number := 132; /* change this to your application ID */  l_user varchar2(30) := 'USERUSER'; /* change this to the username to be associated with the session */BEGIN
  
       -- set up cgi environment  htp.init;  l_cgivar_name(1) := 'REQUEST_PROTOCOL';  l_cgivar_val(1) := 'HTTP';  owa.init_cgi_env(num_params => 1,param_name => l_cgivar_name,param_val  => l_cgivar_val);
  
    -- find workspace ID of application  for c1 in (select workspace_id from apex_applications where application_id = l_application_id) loop    l_workspace_id := c1.workspace_id;  end loop;
  
    -- set security group ID, session ID, app ID globals  wwv_flow_api.set_security_group_id(l_workspace_id);  apex_application.g_instance := wwv_flow_custom_auth.get_next_session_id;  apex_application.g_flow_id := l_application_id;
  
    -- create authenticated session for l_user  wwv_flow_custom_auth_std.post_login(    p_uname => l_user,    p_session_id => null,    p_flow_page => apex_application.g_flow_id||':'||1);
  
    dbms_output.put_line('workspace:'||v('WORKSPACE_ID')||', session:'||apex_application.g_instance||', user:'||apex_application.g_user);
  
    -- call wwv_flow.show so that the correct parsing schema and other globals are established for the application  wwv_flow.show (    p_flow_id => apex_application.g_flow_id,    p_instance => apex_application.g_instance,    p_request => 'FSP_SHOW_POPUPLOV'    );
  
    -- set array of protected page IDs for session state protection  wwv_flow.g_protected_page_ids(1) := '1';    -- this establishes page 1 as an SSP-protected page
  
    -- generate link with checksum using prepare_url  dbms_output.put_line(apex_util.prepare_url('f?p=' || v('APP_ID') || ':1::dummyrequest','utf-8','2')); -- the request references page 1, designated as a protected pageEND;/
  

  Note, the username parameter and the call to wwv_flow_custom_auth_std.post_login is necessary only if you want to generate a checksum of user (type '2') level. Links using this type of checksum may be used only by the same authenticated user which was set up during the generation of the checksum. For links that can be used by any authenticated user, a checksum of the application (type 1) level can be requested from prepare_url and for this, the user name parameter and the call to wwv_flow_custom_auth_std.post_login are useless.

  The second argument to prepare the url must match the implementation REQUEST_IANA_CHARSET of your DAD and the third argument is the type of checksum (3 = level of the session and is not appropriate here, 2 = user-level and requires you to make the configuration of the username first, 1 = application-level).

• Forgotten password in APEX 4

  Hello
  I have a use requires express permission: to auth a user when they connect.
  I have a button on my login page called forgotten password.
  What I want to achieve is that when they click on forgot password, a new message (auto-generated) by email to the user.
  I looked at APEX_UTIL. RESET_PW, but that requires administrator rights, and I really want to give administrative rights to my users.
  
  How can this be achieved? any ideas? or maybe that someone has created a page with APEX that do that already...

  Yes. To call the APEX_MAIL package from outside the context of a request for Application Express, you must call APEX_UTIL. SET_SECURITY_GROUP_ID to set the context of APEX Session as follows:

  PROCEDURE PRC_SEND_EMAIL ( P_PARAM1  IN VARCHAR2
                             ...
                           , P_PARAM2  IN VARCHAR2

    END LOOP;

• JQuery Tabs and Apex 4.2

  Hello

  I created a few JQuery tabs by following some instructions of Patrick Wolf

  Re: New themes in APEX 4 does not not with JQuery tabs

  I'm trying to preserve the clicked tab, that is to say, if I go to another page and come back to the page with the tabs,

  I want that it displays data in the tab I clicked on last

  I tried the following

  http://jaris.blogsite.org/Apex/f?p=blog:read:0:article:195800346705831

  but I did not know where to place the JavaScript at the end of the post

  Any help appreciated

  Gus

  Hello Gus,

  so I guess that you already have a jQueryTabs of the region and some hidden item where you can store the selected value of tab. Now we have 'just' get the value selected on the page unload, save it and then put back on the loading of the page.

  Name your region jQueryTabs for example "tabRegion" and your hidden item PX_LAST_SELECTED_TAB. place then this code in Footer region your area tab.

  So now you should be able to see the changes events tab in the console of your browser.

  Then, you need to preserve the value PX_LAST_SELECTED_TAB. To do this, create a dynamic action:

  -page unload event

  action - executing PL/SQL code

  APEX_UTIL.SET_SESSION_STATE('PX_LAST_SELECTED_TAB',:PX_LAST_SELECTED_TAB);--page items to submit PX_LAST_SELECTED_TAB
  

  then when the page unloads, you have stored in a session state value (do not forget to paste. PX_LAST_SELECTED_TAB on item (s) page to submit).

  And the last step is to read its value on the loading of the page. For example, create another DA:

  event - the page loads

  action - to run the JS code

  with the following code

  var tabToSelect = parseInt($v("PX_LAST_SELECTED_TAB"));
  console.log("Pageload: changing tab index to: " + tabToSelect);
  $("#tabRegion" ).tabs( "select", tabToSelect);
  

  Hope that helps.

  Kind regards

• Clear cache page after deletion to avoid errors ora-1403 Apex 5.01

  Hi all

  Always 'new' at Apex!

  I'm getting ORA-01403: no data available error after deleting a line in a 5.01 Apex form created from the interactive report + model form.

  After searching the forum, I found a direct reference to this situation:

  ORA-01403: no data available on the deletion of a record

  --------------------------------------------------------------------------------

  Denes Kubicek December 9, 2014 01:40 (in response to 2805872)

  After deleting a record, you must clear the page cache. If you do not have the primary key item session state can keep the old value of the deleted record. The page loading process will try to retrieve this value from the table and meet no data found.

  ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------

  Unfortunately, I do not know where or how to " " " clear the cache of the page ' after deleting a record.

  I saw the reverence to APEX_UTIL. CLEAR_PAGE_CACHE but I don't know where to use

  Others say still set the value of the key null column.

  The documentation of the Apex is said to use the URL:

  2.9.3.2.2 example: clear cache on a Page and passing an element value

  This example shows how to implement a form of update. It erases the existing information and sets the value of the element (usually a primary key).

  f?p=6000:6003:&APP_SESSION.::NO:6003:MY_ITEM:1234 

  This example:

  • Runs the application 6003 6000 page and uses the ID of the current session
  • Specifies to not show debug information ( NO )
  • Clears all values maintained by the current session for the items on page 6003 cache
  • Sets the State of an element called session MY_ITEM value1234

  But I do not know where or how to do that in the context of the key Suppr.

  Can someone point me in the right direction? I'm learning the Apex using as many integrates native as possible features.

  If clearing the cache of the page, that's what needs to be done after the removal of a line, would not these features have been integrated to the Delete key?

  Thank you

  Mason

  OK, after wandering in the desert for a while, I tried this approach to clear the cache once you press the button Delete and it doesn't seem to work.

  I created a new process called "Clear the cache" after the process of "line process of...» »

  The process to clear the cache was of type PL/SQL Code with the section of Code PL/SQL, the value 'APEX_UTIL. CLEAR_PAGE_CACHE (2); »

  I don't know if it's a good way to do this, or if the accepted practices, or what side effects will rain down on me that they are, but at least I got a result that has solved my immediate problem.

  So nice to click on delete and not greeted with an ORA-01403 error!

  Thanks to everyone who helped me in on it!

  Mason
