Apex 23.2 We have a bunch of interactive reports that have grown and gotten to slow to be run in real time. We have done various things to speed up the run time but I think some of them need to be turned into a background job with a download of the resultant data somewhere. Is there are "shortcut" to turning a IR into a background job?

I was wondering about something. I have an on-screen variable that is a file upload type. It is set to use the APEX_APPLICATION_TEMP_FILES as the storage. But I have a feeling that some action needs to take place to get it actually written into that table. I never see my file in there. Is there a DA of some sort that I need to run to actually store the file in there?

Hello everyone, I am trying to change the decimal separator from a comma to a period in a translated French application (fr-ca). I am using the following code in an application process _On Load: Before Header_:

DBMS_SESSION.SET_NLS('NLS_NUMERIC_CHARACTERS', '''.,''');

However, I receive an error when running the French version of the application (see image below). Does anyone have an idea of how I can resolve this issue? _Note: It works correctly when French is set as the application’s primary language, but not when it is a translated application._ Apex Version: 24.1.3

Is there a way to set a name on these columns? I mean, to display a name inside the bars. I’ve been experimenting with the Custom Column attributes and the Initialization JavaScript Function, but without success, but the way the name of the serie is the text that I want inside the bar. select .....

Hello, I'm trying to get a session ID in OCI AUtonomous Database environnement but I don't have enough privilege Any idea how i can do that ? select * from APEX_240200.wwv_flow_sessions$ ; grant select on apex_240200.wwv_flow_sessions$ to myuser;

Is it possible to use APEX's mapping features completely offline, or do the tiles require some internet connectivity? If it is feasible, can someone point me to documentation for this?

It seems like the "option" etc calls are not having any effect whatsoever. I'm certain the selector is correct as it returns the datepicker object

I've tried various methods as documented in the jqueryui docs with no effect. $( ".selector" ).datepicker( "option", "maxDate", "+7d" ); $( ".selector" ).datepicker("refresh") etc

How can i dynamically set the max/min date in a datepicker in apex 23.2+ ?

Hi all, I am trying to run a procedure, and keep receiving error in the dynamic SQL. I am just showing here the part of code which is having issue:

IF v_limit IS NOT NULL THEN
    v_insert_sql := v_insert_sql || ' AND ROWNUM <= :5';

Hi anytime the IT is working on the Server there is no access to database and this message displays to Apex users. We are thinking of redirecting the page to another simple HTML Page with customized Message to end User. It should surely be done in the HTTP / Application Server. Any idea how to handle that?

Hi all experts, Quick context: We are pushing some file from our local server to Prod Server and we need to read the number of rows in the file, on the destination folder, and compare against the original file, in order to make sure file was not corrupted along the way: So I found this function that can get the size of the file in the remote server, but I need to know the total records in the file. Does someone know how to do that or modify this function to read the row count instead of the file size?

Hello all, how to deploy the application in Apex, is it free of cost, or how much in INR?

I wonder if anyone can tell me how to make this button a different color or just apply the t-Button--hot class to it? This is a typical Date and time popup. When I try to change the button settings in the Theme Roller any change I make changes every button in my app in a way that doesn't make any sense. Can anyone tell me how to target just this one button to make it hot? Or to make it any other colour I might like? I'd be happy with just making it t-Button--hot if it's easy.

Hi all, I have to work on a code that someone else has developed. It is difficult to follow the if...end if, in short, the blocks of code are not clearly defined.

Hi everyone, I need some advice. I've been trying to build this Gantt (screen 1) using Gantt Chart Pro, but I'm not sure if it's possible or if there's an alternative solution. I managed to create this (screen 2), but it’s not even close to what I want. As soon as I modify the Task Name, it also changes the LABEL under Project 1 as well as what appears inside the Gantt. I tried using JavaScript, but I didn’t get any satisfactory results. Thank you for any help.

I am configuring OCI Email Delivery for an APEX application I am developing in my Always-Free Autonomous Database. I am using a Custom Authentication scheme and the users in my APEX application are defined in a *database table only* with authorization schemes also running from there. I am following the guidelines from Configure OCI Email Delivery. Looking at creating SMTP credentials, it seems as if I will need to create a User in the OCI console for every user in my application that needs the ability to send an email. 1. Am I reading this correctly? Is there a way to avoid this? 2. If this is the only way to go about this, what other privileges will this OCI user be granted in my application / OCI interface etc. that I need to look out for. Thanks!

Hello, can someone please guide if there is a way to have a date-picker for months and years only in Apex 21.2?

I have an APEX question that will open up a LOT of cans of worms.. Its to possible move towards using APEX to build a CI/CD process to replace a rather convoluted manual process when migrating objects (APEX apps, pl/sql scripts, PL/Sql Packages) from SVN (possible git-lab in future) into higher environments (Devl => Test => Formal Test => Prod).. This I know would entail at a minimum using Jenkins and other software which is why I am asking here.. Has anyone every tried build an APP to handle this with a workflow to handle user approval when required?

OK this should be easy. I have a button that I want to use to take me to another website. Let's just say it's https://google.com I have that URL in another field and I want my button to take me there in a new browser tab. the button is in a modal dialog page and when I hit that button I get https://google.com in my modal dialog page not in a new tab of my browser. Is there some secret sauce ting this to work?

APEX 24.2 Page Item of type Popup LOV, multiple values, ':' delimited and trying to use DA associated with a Button to cause all possible matches to be selected in the Page Item. The DA does a select into the Page Item using the same criteria as the Popup LOV, generates a ':' delimited list into the Page Item but then errors with "ORA-01722:invalid number". Tried using Debug but not enough information in the error detail to nail the problem down, same with reviewing the console. It seems to error after exiting the PL/SQL DA code. SQL is below. Can I assign multiple values to the Popup LOV like that? Debugging shows the resulting value looks like 2152:3450, which are correct.

Apex 23.2 I exported a single page with an Interactive Report with public "Saved Reports". On importing into another environment the Saved Reports were not included. I don't see an option to include saved reports when exporting individual components or when exporting the page from directly within the page, unlike when you export the entire app where that is an option. Is there some way to do this?

Hello fellow APEX people. Looking for some advice on Tasks if possible. In particular, I am wrestling with Business Administrators. We are anticipating a shuffling of responsibilities internally and need to re assign Business Administrator participants for all of our open task instances. Can't send to find any way of doing this in the documentation, nothing mentioned in the APIs. Does anyone have any ideas? Or, is this a matter of cancelling and recreating all the in-flight task instances after updating all the participants in the task definitions. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Does anyone have model exam questions for Apex Professional Developer?

I'm new to Apex, so why am I having this problem?

Hi all, first time here, apex newbie.. I've a page with editable field (i saw on page designer something releated to dynamic actions). After upgrade from 4.2 to latest 24.2 when i insert a new value (280€ in picture) and i click on "apply changes" nothing happend.. Or better, there is a window with an OK that indicates that the action was successful. I tried to debug behavior but i don't see any obvious errors. Where can I begin to figure out what action isn't being taken? Could it be some instance-level ACL? Thanks.

Just curious but I'm trying to duplicate my application. On the source side (where I developed it) I'm generating a DLL for everything. My thinking is that this one DLL script will create every table, sequence, procedure, function, etc. in the new schema. The problem appears to be that the resulting script it too big to work with. When I do manage to generate the DLL and copy it to my new workspace I get an error that it's past the 500K limit. I know i can cut it into pieces, and I'm doing that, but i wondered if there was a better method out there. I'd have to admit that I find the "Generate DLL" function pretty flakey. Sometimes it works, sometimes it doesn't. Sometimes it follows my selections and sometimes it does not. That or I completely suck at using it.

I had a fellow developer ask me.. Is there something we can ADD the the APEX builder to designate what ARE the developer is working in? We have a number of development areas and on occasion someone flubs up and thinks they are working in one environment when they are really in another..

In the past I've used some combination of hints like /*+ parallel(n) no_merge first_rows */ with some success. Or wrapping the query in a "select * from (x)" with the no_merge hint.

Hello APEX experts. I have a question about multi tenant/customer deployments. If I want to deliver a single application to multiple customers should I 1. Deploy each customer in a separate instance so I can set build options by customer? 2. Deploy all customers in a single instance, storing the customer ID in key tables to control data access? it seems to me the issues with #2 are: 1. The lack of ability to utilize build options per customer 2. The lack of ability to utilize different URLs for each customer 3. The additional complexity of having to store and retrieve data by customer ID With #1 the issues would be: 1. The need to create a separate schema and workspace for each customer 2. No easy way to aggregate data and app usage statistics across all customers Is there a recommended APEX deployment model? What have others done? TYIA.

General question that doesn’t show up in the Docs. When configuring the Maximum Web Service Requests at the WORKSPACE level, I’m assuming that leaving it blank will revert to the limit as defined at the INSTANCE level. But what if the INSTANCE level is left (or set to) blank. Does that give an unlimited number of web service calls? This would be my desired result, but I don’t want to make a false assumption
