and Connor said...

OK, the installation process is totally different for 22 so I suggest you read the docs carefully. In particular

You don't do anything with ords.war anymore.

- You do NOT launch it with "java -jar ords.war"
- You do NOT rename it to get a different database path

For standalone, you launch it with:

ords --config /my/path/to/config/dir serve

And for Tomcat, you need to let Tomcat know where the config file is, so you'd do something like:

export JAVA_OPTS="-Dconfig.url=/my/path/to/config/dir"

before starting your webserver.

Attempting the v21 style of usage will not work (as you've discovered)

not sure how this relates to ORDS

Where to specify APEX_PUBLIC_USER if at all?

Rene, August 11, 2022 - 6:59 am UTC

I'm still a bit confused by this new ORDS 22.2. Is there a need to specify passwords for APEX_PUBLIC_USER, APEX_LISTENER and APEX_REST_PUBLIC_USER?
If so, where in the process does this take place?




Connor McDonald

You'll see a couple of parameters in the installation

--gateway-mode proxied
--gateway-user APEX_PUBLIC_USER

This lets us *proxy* from the ords user to the apex user when needed

ORDS installation from our own script.

Rene, August 24, 2022 - 10:43 am UTC

We run a script that installs Apex and our application schemas. Is there a way I can add the installation of the required ORDS objects to be able to run our Apex application. Meaning the things that get installed when I run:
ords.exe install ....

As fas as I can tell that is currently ORDS_METADATA schema and ORDS_PUBLIC_USER schema.

Also, what is the minimum required install for ORDS just to be able to run our APEX application?


Chris Saxon

You can run ORDS stand-alone.

Have you checked the links Connor provided in the original answer? What exactly are you struggling with?

Rene, August 25, 2022 - 5:40 am UTC

I'm looking for an alternative way to create the database objects that are created by running "ords.exe install ...". I don't want another point in the installation process that requires installing things in the database. .

I don't want another point in the installation process that requires installing things in the database. .

Not sure what you mean by that? If you want ORDS, you to install ORDS.

ORDS can be installed non-interactively via single command line, eg

ords --config /u01/mydir install --log-folder /ords/logs --admin-user SYS --db-hostname myhost --db-port 8080 --db-servicename mypdb --feature-rest-enabled-sql true  --gateway-mode proxied --gateway-user APEX_PUBLIC_USER --proxy-user --password-stdin <<EOF
sysdbapassword
ordspassword
EOF

cant run APEX Application after upgrade from 19.x to 22.1

Althaf, October 20, 2023 - 6:06 am UTC

Hi,

I have upgraded oracle apex19 to apex22.1 in onpremis 12c database. after upgradation i have create a application inside the new APEX but after that i cant run that. its shows a plane webpage contain "Forbidden
The requested operation is not allowed" as 403 Forbidden
Connor McDonald

403 Forbidden sounds more like an ORDS issue.

Try this

$JAVA_HOME/bin/java -jar ords.war validate


(depends on your version of ORDS)

Error in PLSQL code raised during plug-in processing. Contact your application administrator.

Althaf, November 09, 2023 - 11:44 am UTC

When opening the SQL Commands or SQL Scripts in a workspace, shows "Error in PLSQL code raised during plug-in processing. Contact your application administrator".

Check MOS note 2881783.1

If that is not the exact cause, it will guide you through dealing with ords_admin.add_plsql_gateway_procedure
