### Making Oracle Database EM Express Available to Remote Clients
After you install Oracle Database XE, EM Express is only available from the local server, it cannot be accessed remotely.
To make EM Express available to remote clients, start SQLPlus, log in as SYSTEM , and execute following procedure. From CLI run following commands. In the commands, replace "oracle_home" with path to your Oracle Home; see 18c XE Installation Guide Table 5-1 for more details about Oracle Home.
```
J:
cd J:\app\oraclexe\product\18.0.0\dbhomeXE\bin
sqlplus system or sqlplus /nolog sqlplus / as sysdba
EXEC DBMS_XDB.SETLISTENERLOCALACCESS(FALSE);
```
<br /><br /><br /><br />
```
select sys_context( 'userenv', 'current_schema' ) from dual;
prints SYS_CONTEXT('USERENV','CURRENT_SCHEMA')
---------------------------------------
SYS
conn hr/hr@xepdb1
select sys_context( 'userenv', 'current_schema' ) from dual;
prints SYS_CONTEXT('USERENV','CURRENT_SCHEMA')
---------------------------------
HR
```
You cannot change your identity in a **definers rights procedure**, it is fixed AT COMPILE time by definition.

http://www.rebellionrider.com/how-to-unlock-hr-user-in-oracle-database-18c-by-manish-sharma/ By Manish Sharma - January 5, 2019
Unlocking hr (or any) schema in DB 18c :
1. Finding out container ID of pluggable DB which contains our schema
--Conn to container DB CBD$ROOT :
**Sqlplus / as sysdba**
--Query v$PDBS dynamic performance view to see **container names and IDs of all pluggable DBs** created inside root container :
SELECT name, con_id FROM v$pdbs;
```
NAME CON_ID (container ID)
------------------ ------------------------------
PDB$SEED 2 seed pluggable DB
**XEPDB1** 3 **name of default pluggable DB** created during installation (ORCLPDB) - **has all our sample (test) schemas**.
```
PDB$SEED is the seed pluggable DB & a system supplied template which container DB uses for creating user defined pluggable DBs.
2. Finding out **service name of pluggable DB** - usually, pluggable DB and its service shares the same name, but check it:
SELECT name **Service_Name** FROM v$active_services WHERE con_id =3; --displays **xepdb1**
3. Creating an entry in TNSNAMES.ora network configuration file inside "Network\\admin" folder inside our DB_HOME :
J:\app\oraclexe\product\18.0.0\dbhomeXE\network\admin
PS C:\WINDOWS\system32> echo %dbhomeXE%
%dbhomeXE%
```
Mode LastWriteTime Length Name
---- ------------- ------ ----
d----- 25.8.2020. 0:16 sample
-a---- 25.8.2020. 0:19 658 listener.ora

-a---- 25.8.2020. 0:38 625 tnsnames.ora <======
```
Using our pluggable database name and its corresponding service we need to create an entry for our listener - using NETCA utility or we can do it manually (is faster).
### tnsnames.ora - XE is not same as ora7
```
#J:\app\oraclexe\product\18.0.0\dbhomeXE\network\admin\tnsnames.ora
#tnsnames.ora Network Configuration File:
#Generated by Oracle configuration tools.

XE =
(DESCRIPTION =

(CONNECT_DATA =
(SERVER = DEDICATED)
(SERVICE_NAME = XE)
)
)
#name of default pluggable DB created during install. (all sample schemas, APEX apps...) :
XEPDB1 =
(DESCRIPTION =
(ADDRESS = (PROTOCOL = TCP)(HOST = sspc2)(PORT = 1521))
(CONNECT_DATA =
(SERVER = DEDICATED)
(SERVICE_NAME = xepdb1)
)
)
ora7 =

(CONNECT_DATA =

(SERVICE_NAME = xepdb1)
)
)
LISTENER_XE =

ORACLR_CONNECTION_DATA =

(ADDRESS_LIST =
(ADDRESS = (PROTOCOL = IPC)(KEY = EXTPROC1521))
)
(CONNECT_DATA =
(SID = CLRExtProc)
(PRESENTATION = RO)
)
)
```
In Win **CLI with admin rights** restart listener : **Lsnrctl reload**
lsnrctl status
lsnrctl start
4. Switching from Container DB XE CDB$ROOT to Pluggable DB XEPDB1
High privileged users like sys are placed inside a container DB and all sample schemas are in default pluggable DB, which means in order to unlock them we need to switch to XEPDB1.
**ALTER SESSION SET container = XEPDB1;**
5. Unlocking HR user
**SELECT name, open_mode FROM v$pdbs;**
```
NAME OPEN_MODE
---------------------------- -------------------
XEPDB1 READ WRITE
```
If open mode is **mounted** - means DB isn't open. To open your pluggable DB :
ALTER PLUGGABLE DATABASE open;
Once you've done all the above steps and configured your DB properly then :
**ALTER USER HR IDENTIFIED BY HR ACCOUNT UNLOCK;**
grant CONNECT,DBA,RESOURCE to HR IDENTIFIED BY HR;
exit
Sqlplus HR/HR@localhost:1521/XEPDB1
show con_name
--(CDB$ROOT) XEPDB1

--(SYS) USER is "HR"

cd [oracle_home]\bin
### lsnrctl status
Shows values of a number of important parameters:
1. **port** the listener listens on
2. **list of services** registered with the listener. Default services created by Oracle Database XE are **XE and XEPDB1** . XE service connects you to the root container of the database ( CDB$ROOT ) and the XEPDB1 service connects you to default pluggable database ( XEPDB1 ) created at the installation time. For each new pluggable DB (PDB) in DB, there will be a **new default service created with the same name as the PDB**. Note: If DB XE instance is shut down, lsnrctl status command does not show any services you can connect to.
3. **port EM Express** listens on
4. name of the **configuration** file used by the listener
5. name of the **log** file
### Easy Connect strings
1. Multitenant container database: host[:port] **SSPC2:1521**
2. Pluggable database: host[:port]/service_name **SSPC2:1521/XEPDB1**
Specifying port is optional when the listener is setup with default port 1521 . You must specify port number if you use another port.
If you are connecting from a remote computer, you need to provide **hostname eg SSPC2** (where XE is installed) instead of localhost.
Eg you can connect to** root container of DB** from a client computer with SQLPlus using following commands:
cd [oracle_home]\bin
sqlplus system@dbhost.example.com:1521
You can connect **to default pluggable database XEPDB1** using following commands:
cd [oracle_home]\bin
sqlplus system@dbhost.example.com:1521/XEPDB1
Replace dbhost.example.com with your DB host name. If needed, replace 1521 with port number the listener listens on. You can replace XEPDB1 with name of another PDB you want to connect to.
To shorten connect strings or avoid hardcoding host name and port in app. code and DBA scripts, you can define an **alias for connect string** in
configuration file [oracle_home]\network\admin\tnsnames.ora on DB clients. See Configuring Local Naming Method for more details.
See Also:

2. Oracle Database Development Guide for more information about **connection strategies** for database applications
3. Ora. DB Net Services Admins Guide and Ora. DB Net Services Reference for more information about **Net Services** and their configuration.
4. Oracle Multitenant Administrator?s Guide for more information about **containers** and connecting to a container in a CDB.
By default, when Ora. DB service is started, container DB is started and opened, but any **pluggable DBs must be opened before use** - manually or set to automatically open.
### Starting Up / Shutting Down Using Win. Services
Start menu, type services.msc, OracleServiceXE service in Services window, Right-click service name.
OracleOraDB18Home[n]TNSListener , where [n] is a number chosen by Oracle Database XE installer based on other Oracle homes previously installed on the host.
### Starting Up and Shutting Down Using SQL Plus

## Uninstall Oracle 18c XE and delete database (destructive) ? CAUTION
(Will need a reboot at the end to complete, but can reboot later if needed)
As per documentation: https://docs.oracle.com/en/database/oracle/oracle-database/18/xeinw/deinstalling-oracle-database-xe.html#GUID-DC36940C-D201-457B-A3D5-D6E2BB800120
Use Add or Remove Programs to deinstall Oracle Database XE:
In the Windows Control Panel, select Add or Remove Programs.
Select Oracle Database 18c Express Edition.
Click Change/Remove or Uninstall.
Follow the prompts to deinstall Oracle Database Express Edition. After few minutes, the window will close and the deinstallation will be complete.
### Deinstalling
If you want to save your data files but remove the Oracle Database XE software and database, then first export the data before you deinstall.
Caution:
When you deinstall Oracle Database XE, all components, including data files, the database, and the software, are removed. Because the deinstallation process removes all files from the directory in which Oracle Database XE is installed, back up any files from the directory (if needed) before you deinstall. The database will no longer be operational after deinstallation. You can deinstall Oracle Database XE using one of the following methods:
1. Deinstalling Using User Interface
2. Deinstalling Using Silent Mode
### Deinstalling Using User Interface
Use Add or Remove Programs to deinstall Oracle Database XE:
1. In the Windows Control Panel, select Add or Remove Programs.
2. Select Oracle Database 18c Express Edition.
3. Click Change/Remove or Uninstall.
4. Follow the prompts to deinstall Oracle Database Express Edition. After few minutes, the window will close and the deinstallation will be complete. Alternatively, you can use following msiexec command to perform the deinstall: msiexec /x {C220B7FD-3095-47FC-A0C0-AE49DE6E320A}
12.11.2 Deinstalling Using Silent Mode
If the downloaded software is available, you can use setup.exe to deinstall Oracle Database XE. For example, if you downloaded and extracted the files to a directory called xe_temp , enter the following command to deinstall Oracle Database XE:
c:\xe_temp> setup.exe /s /x /v"/qn /Lv c:\test1.log"
If you do not have the downloaded software ( setup.exe ) you can deinstall using: msiexec /qn /x {C220B7FD-3095-47FC-A0C0-AE49DE6E320A}
You can replace /qn with /qb to display the progress bar.
Note:
1. Silent deinstall runs asynchronously; you can check the log file for the completion status.
2. After the deinstall is successfully completed, the following message is available in the log file:
MSI (s) (8C:C4) [Timestamp]: Windows Installer removed the product. Product Name: Oracle Database

## Globalization Support
Oracle Database XE is configured by default to be able to process character data in all supported languages simultaneously:
1. The database is created with the Unicode AL32UTF8 character set. AL32UTF8 is the recommended database character set suitable for storing data in practically any language. Multiple languages can be mixed even in a single character value. While not a recommended option, you can create the database with another supported database character set by calling setup.exe from the Command Prompt as follows:
setup.exe /v"CHAR_SET=\<character_set>"
where \<character_set> is the desired database character set. Supported database character sets are listed in tables A-4 and A-6 in Appendix A of the Database Globalization Support Guide. Character sets from Table A-4 are preferred over character sets from Table A-6 because of more comprehensive character repertoires.
2. The Oracle Database Express Edition (XE) supports the same globalization features that Oracle Database Enterprise Edition (EE) provides.
### 13.1 Setting Language and Locale Preferences for Client
Connections
Configure client applications connecting to an Oracle Database according to your locale preferences and your I/O device character set. You must configure client applications connecting to an Oracle Database according to your locale preferences and your I/O device character set. If your applications do not have their own specific methods to configure locale preferences, then the method you use to configure an Oracle database client connection depends on the access API you use to connect to the database. Check your application documentation, before you configure locale preferences for your applications.
For applications that connect to Oracle Databases using Oracle Call Interface (OCI) use NLS_LANG and other client settings with names that start with NLS\_ to set the locale conventions and client character set for Oracle Database sessions. It is important that you set the character set part of the NLS_LANG value properly. The character set you set must correspond to the character set used by your I/O devices, which in case of Microsoft Windows is either the ANSI Code Page (for GUI applications), such as WE8MSWIN1252, or the OEM Code Page (for Console mode applications), such as US8PC437. By doing this, the OCI API is notified about the character set of data that it receives from the application. OCI can then convert this data correctly to and from the database character set.
NLS_LANG and the other NLS settings can be specified either as environment variables or as Windows Registry settings. Environment variable values take precedence over Registry values. Oracle Universal Installer sets a default value for the NLS_LANG setting in Registry when it creates a new Oracle home. The NLS_LANG value is based on the language of the Windows user interface, which is the language of Windows menu items and dialog box labels.
Caution:
Failure to set the client character set correctly can cause data loss. Java applications that connect to Oracle Databases by using Oracle JDBC do not use NLS_LANG. Instead, Oracle JDBC maps the default locale of the Java VM in which the application runs to the Oracle Database language and territory settings. Oracle JDBC then configures the connected database session using these settings. Because Java works internally in Unicode, the client character set is always set to Unicode.
Unless an application explicitly changes it, the default locale of the Java VM is set based on the locale of the user operating system on which the Java VM runs. Check your Java VM documentation for information about configuring the Java VM default locale.
Note:
In 3-tier architecture deployments, application servers that are database clients can have settings in their configuration files that specify the NLS_LANG value or the Java VM locale. Check the documentation accompanying these servers.

## Export (expdp) vs RMAN
both backup tables, and they both support flashback database, but there are some important differences:
Data Pump Export (expdp) - The export utility is a "logical" backup, usually done by specifying specific tables. If you fail to do a "consistent" export, or if you fail to include related tables and use RESTRICTED and CONSISTENT mode (with referential integrity constraints), you may not be able to recover properly. Export is often used as a supplement to RMAN, usually for the restore of specific tables.
Recovery manager (rman) - RMAN is designed for backup and recovery, a extension of the Enterprise Backup Utility (EBU). RMAN takes full, physical, consistent backups of your database files..
Advantages & disadvantages of Export:
1. Free, and easy to use
2. Very slow, compared to RMAN (examines every data block)
3. Easy restore of a specific table
4. Does not require ARCHIVELOG mode
Advantages & disadvantages of RMAN:
1. RMAN has block-level media recovery
2. Has a catalog for backup tracking and a report utility
3. Fast - If you dedicate a backup device for each production disk, you can backup terabytes in the time it takes to backup any single disk.
4. Does hot or cold backups
5. Backups and restores can be done in parallel
6. Allows incremental backups (block change tracking)
7. Interfaces with media management systems (TMS)

### 1. create OS level directory
which will be used by Oracle for performing exports and imports :
\# mkdir -p /u02/dp_exp_dir
Create directory inside DB or use **existing DATA_PUMP_DIR** (see below) :
SQL> create directory datapump as '/u02/dp_exp_dir';
**create directory datapumpmy as 'J:\app\oraclexe\product\18.0.0\admin\xe\dpdumpmy\';**
Grant permissions on directory :
SQL> **grant read,write on directory datapumpmy to hr ; **

### 2. Perform Data Pump Export
In case you want to know all the options available with expdp utility, you can use below command
$ expdp help=y
To take **DB** level export
$ expdp directory=datapump dumpfile=fullprod.dmp logfile=fullprod.log full=y
### To take **schema level export**
$ expdp directory=datapump dumpfile=scott_bkp.dmp logfile=scott_bkp.log schemas='SCOTT'
To take **table** level export
$ expdp directory=datapump dumpfile=emp_bkp.dmp logfile=emp_bkp.log tables='SCOTT.EMP'
To take **row** level export
$ expdp directory=datapump dumpfile=emprows_bkp.dmp logfile=emprows_bkp.log tables='SCOTT.EMP' query=\"where deptno=10\"
<br />
### 3. Performing Data Pump Import
In case you want to know all the options available with impdp utility, you can use below command
$ impdp help=y
To import full database
$ impdp directory=datapump dumpfile=fullprod.dmp logfile=imp_fullprod.log full=y
To import source schema objects into same schema name
$ impdp directory=datapump dumpfile=scott_bkp.dmp logfile=imp_schema.log remap_schema='SCOTT:SCOTT'
### To import source schema objects into a different schema
$ impdp directory=datapump dumpfile=scott_bkp.dmp logfile=imp_schema.log remap_schema='HR:HRDPIMP_TEST'
To import a table
$ impdp directory=datapump dumpfile=emp_bkp.dmp logfile=imp_emp.log tables='EMP' remap_schema='SCOTT:SCOTT'
To import a table to another user
$ impdp directory=datapump dumpfile=emp_bkp.dmp logfile=imp_emp.log tables='EMP' remap_schema='SCOTT:SYSTEM'
To import tables to another tablespace (only in datapump)
$ impdp directory=datapump dumpfile=emp_bkp.dmp logfile=imp_emp.log tables='EMP' remap_schema='SCOTT:SCOTT' remap_tablespace='MYDATA:MYTBS'
https://support.dbagenesis.com/knowledge-base/oracle-expdp-par-file-example/ A sample data pump export and import :
```
Data Pump schema level Export:
====================
expdp directory=datapump dumpfile=scott_bkp.dmp logfile=scott_bkp.log schemas='SCOTT'
Data Pump Import:
=================
impdp directory=datapump dumpfile=scott_bkp.dmp logfile=imp_schema.log remap_schema='SCOTT:SCOTT'
```
In real-time, you might perform very **complex** export and import and **frequently** - daily or weekly. Data Pump jobs can be automated using PAR file :
#### cat dept_exp.par
Username=hr/hr
tables=hr.emp
directory=EXP_DIR
dumpfile=QUERY_EXP.dmp
logfile=QUERY_EXP.log
To call the above export PAR file :
#### expdp parfile=exp.par

When Oracle Application Express installs, it creates three new database accounts:
1. APEX_180100 - The account that owns the Oracle Application Express schema and metadata.
2. FLOWS_FILES - The account that owns the Oracle Application Express uploaded files.
3. APEX_PUBLIC_USER - The minimally privileged account is used for Oracle Application Express configuration with Oracle REST Data Services or Oracle HTTP Server and mod_plsql.
If you configured RESTful Web services, then these additional accounts will be created:
1. APEX_REST_PUBLIC_USER - The account used when invoking RESTful Services definitions stored in Oracle Application Express.
2. APEX_LISTENER - The account used to query RESTful Services definitions stored in Oracle Application Express.
### DB 18c REST quick start
### Step 1: Install cURL that supports SSL
The examples used in this document use the cURL command-line tool to demonstrate how to access the Oracle Database REST API. To connect securely to the REST server, you must install a version of cURL that supports SSL. CURL is a command-line tool and library for** transferring data with URLs**.
https://www.thewindowsclub.com/how-to-install-curl-on-windows-10
curl --help shows Win 10 Curl : 2020.09.19 curl-7.72.0_4-win64-mingw.zip
```
C:\WINDOWS\system32>curl --version
curl 7.55.1 (Windows) libcurl/7.55.1 WinSSL
Release-Date: 2017-11-14, security patched: 2019-11-05
```
```
"J:\symenu\ProgramFiles\SPSSuite\SyMenuSuite\Cmder_sps\vendor\git-for-windows\mingw64\bin\curl.exe" --version --version

Release-Date: 2020-07-01
```
or :
Git for Windows will install CURL along with it. Add it to your Windows path, and you will be able to execute it from anywhere. Press start button, and type "system var".
or :
To install cURL on your system:
In your browser, navigate to the cURL home page at **https://curl.haxx.se/windows/** -> curl for 64 bit
https://curl.haxx.se/windows/dl-7.72.0_4/curl-7.72.0_4-win64-mingw.zip, built and statically linked with :
1. **OpenSSL 1.1.1g **[64bit/32bit]
2. brotli 1.0.9 [64bit/32bit]
3. libssh2 1.9.0 [64bit/32bit]
4. nghttp2 1.41.0 [64bit/32bit]
5. zlib 1.2.11 [64bit/32bit]
6. zstd 1.4.5 [64bit/32bit]
When running cURL from a Windows command shell only, you must provide an **SSL certificate authority (CA) file** or bundle **to authenticate against the Verisign CS certificate**.
Navigate to the cURL CA Extract page at http://curl.haxx.se/docs/caextract.html and download the **cacert.pem SSL CA certificate file in the folder where you installed cURL**.
Open a command window, navigate to directory where you installed cURL, and set the cURL environment variable, CURL_CA_BUNDLE, to the location of the SSL CA certificate file. For example, on a Windows system you would enter:
C:\curl> set CURL_CA_BUNDLE=cacert.pem
You are now ready to send REST requests to the Database REST API instance using cURL. See Authentication, and Use cURL.
```
J:\symenu\z_aplpsy\curl\bin
```
To be able to create workspace in PDB you need configure "Oracle REST Data services" **for each PDB you want to use**.
Based on "**Oracle REST data Services Installation and Configuration Guide** (E25066-10)" chapter 2.1 "Configuring Multiple Databases" you should:
issue commands from your apex 4.2.x directory:
java -jar ords.war setup --database <database_name>
Note: For <database_name> provide PDB service_name or SID, not CDB!
java -jar ords.war map-url --type base-patch --workspace-id <workspace_name> <path_prefix> <database_name>
Make sure you restart "Oracle REST Data Services".
Access Apex Administration Services - please use newly configured link:
http://<host_name>/ords/<workspace_name>/apex_admin
Enter credentials you used previously during "Configuring Multiple Databases" for PDB apex access. Make note that <workspace_name> is just alias, the workspace does not exists yet, but after login you are allowed to create workspace(s) in PDB finally. Additional workspaces in the same PDB can be accessed via link displayed above, so you need configure "Oracle RESTData Listener" for each PDB just once ideally.
This worked for me, hopefully it works for you too.
APEX data is stored in pluggable database, while default connection in SQL Plus is to root container cdb$root.
There is APEX_200100 listed (and you use it). Then:
```
ALTER SESSION SET CURRENT_SCHEMA = APEX_200100 ;
alter session set container = XEPDB1;
BEGIN
APEX_INSTANCE_ADMIN.UNRESTRICT_SCHEMA(P_SCHEMA => 'HR_PDB1');
COMMIT;
END;
/
Now check whether you can assign the HR_PDB1 schema to your workspace.
BEGIN
APEX_INSTANCE_ADMIN.ADD_SCHEMA('hr','HR'); //hr=MY_WORKSPACE, HR=shema
END;
/
```
<br /><br /><br />

[Top](#top).....[Instalac 18c XE](#inst18cxe).....[Instalac APEX 20.1](#instapex).....**Conv. F6i to APEX (Devsuite10g on WinXP)**
## App f6i2apex in own WS wsconvf6 (or both POSSYS)
to convert Oracle Forms 6i (9 or ...) to APEX app modules
1. Convert fmb 6i to fmb 10
2. Convert Oracle Forms to XML.
Run Forms to XML Conversion tool, **Forms2XML**, to convert Forms modules in your app. This creates XML output files.
**C:\\OraDS10Home1\\BIN\\frmf2xml.bat** : frmf2xml.bat [options] file1 [file2...]
In WinXP (Ora Virt. Box) D:\OraDS10Home1\BIN

3. Create an APEX Workspace wsconvf6
Associate workspace with Oracle Forms application schema.
4. Create migration project mercedes or hr and load app metadata XML
### Upload Forms Module XML File to APEX
1. login to wsconvf6/admin/admin
2. Click App Builder icon.
3. Click Oracle Forms **Migrations** on the right side of the page
4. On **App Migrations page**, **Migr. Tasks region -> App Migrations** , click **Create Project**. Enter project details:
1. Project unique Name, no white spaces = **mercedes or hr or...**
2. Description = **mercedes user forms 6i converted to 10g migrated to APEX 20.1 (18.1)**
3. Schema = mercedes
Default schema is schema associated with your WS. If **multiple schemas (mercedes, hr, placa6) are associated with your WS**, all associated schemas appear in select list, arranged in alphabetical order. When this situation exists, select schema associated with the Oracle Forms you want to upload.
4. Forms Module XML File = **L:\asg\possys6\tipdok.fmb** which contains the information of your converted Oracle FormModule
5. Click Next. Confirm page appears.
To add more files, click Upload Another File.
5. Analyze Oracle Forms app
From App Migration Workshop, verify and adjust Forms app metadata. Identify business logic required in new APEX app. Refine scope of your conversion.
**File Name = 'tipdok_fmb.xml'**

6. Generate APEX App
Create a new app using Create Application Wizard, in App Builder part of APEX, to cover functionality being migrated.
7. Customize your APEX App
Open your app and customize your generated app. You can change app attributes or add new pages to app.
