APEX: Express Web Development for Reporting and Beyond
Presenter: Debra Miller
Institution: Athens State University
Want a flexible application tool for the web that is free with
your Oracle license? Learn how you can create web-based
reporting with APEX! This will be a short summary of the
techniques needed to create a simple report for the web. The
session will also cover SSB integration and be open to general
APEX questions.
Books, Materials and Students in SSB
Schools have been mandated to disclose the course materials to
potential students. Athens State has developed a system to
capture books (and materials could be added easily) required,
recommended and suggested by faculty members. It interfaces with
our bookstores, so they can create book orders using this
information as well as SSB (Self Service Banner) so that
students can view this informaton before registering for
classes. This session will discuss the how, why and what of this
system and the way the information is presented to the student.
Oracle Application Express or APEX, is a
web based rapid application development tool for the Oracle database.
APEX, formerly called HTML DB, is being increasingly adopted by SunGardHE Banner clients for handling stand-a-lone tasks, providing
conversions from MS Access applications, or providing Front-End
applications for generating input data for Banner.
Please share your APEX applications with
other APEX Banner developers via the
Banner_ApplicationExpress Listserv that was set up by Joe Manok.
The Listserv address is Banner_ApplicationExpress @t yahoogroups.com
The Listserv can be joined with your existing email address:
Or, let me know about your APEX
applications and I will share the information from this site. (of
course, no endorsements are implied, see declaimer below).

Summit 2009 APEX Sessions:
Summit 2009 Section # 0358, March 24, 4-5:30 PM
APEX and Banner: Happy Co-Existence by Debra J. Miller, DBA, OCP,
Athens State University
The first part will be a quick walk through of where we use APEX
and a demo of how to set up Banner-APEX integration/security.
The 2nd part will be users creating their own application (s),
pages, etc. and answering questions as they come up.
This is a Hands-On session, sign up now before the seats are all
taken!
Just for reference, here are the sessions I found for 2008:
Summit 2008
APEX: Fast, Integrated Web Development
Chemeketa Community College uses Oracle Application Express
(APEX, formerly HTML DB) as a Rapid Application Development tool to
build Self Service applications for students and staff. We've
integrated APEX-based applications into the WebTailor security
model, so a single sign on lets users access both Banner Self
Service pages and APEX-delivered applications; our APEX-delivered
applications appear on the Self Service menus. APEX could be used as
a reporting tool, but that's not how it shines -- it's designed to
facilitate the rapid development of interactive, web-based
applications that can manipulate data in your database. We won't
teach you everything you need to know to program in APEX -- any
Oracle training can do that. We'll focus on how to integrate
APEX-developed applications into Banner Self Service. You'll see how
to implement a single login to let users access both Self Service
and an APEX application, and how WebTailor manages permissions for
them. We'll show the database packages and WebTailor entries we use
to implement the integration. We'll demonstrate the power of APEX
and our WebTailor integration by building a simple APEX-based
report. We'll also demonstrate mature APEX-based applications used
at Chemeketa, including advanced techniques such as AJAX.
Summit 2008
Student Assessment by Non-Employee Supervisors
Debra J. Miller
DBA, OCP
Athens State University
Athens State College of Education has driven a project for
non-employee supervisors to enter assessment data into the
production database. The discussion of this system should be of
interest to technical as well as functional users concerned with
getting assessment data into a database and using this in
conjunction with an assessment management system. This is an add-on
to Banner and developed this year primarily in APEX, Oracle's
web-based application developer, with additional forms created in
Oracle Forms. What this software does is allow non-employees to log
on to a web application and enter assessments for student teachers.
These assessments are based on rules (also used for faculty
assessments in Banner's Self-Service product).This session will
discuss the software elements, end user administration (staff
responsibilities) and logic as well as the problems encountered. It
will also give an overview of how this software fits into our entire
Assessment Management System-- a web-based system that pulls the
results from the assessment entries (faculty and non-faculty) and
evaluates success or failure of objectives and goals.
Summit 2008
APEX Applications for the Banner Student User
Looking for an easy way to roll that schedule and apply prereqs,
coreqs and attributes? Rolled a grade that shouldn't have been and
now you need to remove it? Want to change a section code without
dropping the students from the course? What about those other pesky
little things that require IT to go "behind the scenes" to fix? What
used to take a phone call or email to Banner Support is now in the
hands of the user. Working from Banner Student 7.4, Lehigh Carbon
Community College has developed a plethora of "Do it Yourself" tools
for the user. During the past year, our tool of choice has become
Oracle's Application Express. Let us show you how we have used APEX
to make life simpler.
My first experience with APEX was with
HTML DB 2.0 and Oracle Express in a stand-a-lone installation. I saw great promise in it at that time (early 2006).
Now, we are trying APEX for non-Banner development. Plus, I
hope to use APEX to automate the maintenance I currently perform on
a number of Oracle Tables I use in my Banner SQL*Plus programming
and Argos Reporting.
I already know of Banner Sites using APEX.
There was a Summit 2006 session on HTML DB, but I saw nothing on
APEX for Summit 2007?
Searching the Summit 2007 CD (finally got
here) turns up these classes with APEX content:

Population Selection - We have many
requests to fill a Pop-Sel. Usually a spreadsheet with one of the
columns being a list of pidms. This application allows the
requestors to copy the spreadsheet pidm column and paste it into a
Text area in this application. Then load a temporary "pidm" table
from the pasted pidms. Finally, select the Application, Selection,
Creator, enter a user and load the Pop-Sel.

Duplicate PIDM Utility - Accepts
good and bad spriden_id as input. Lists the tables and row counts
where they exist side by side. Listed by owner (SATURN, GENERAL,
etc). Each Owner has a radio button you select to list the tables.
provides the ability to copy table rows from bad pidm to good pidm
(except for TBRAPPL and TBRACCD - still being worked on).
Looks for parent/child relationships before attempting to copy
and pops up Javascript warnings before and copying or removing of
rows. Shows unique constraints so decisions can be made for
removing or copying bad pidm rows. Uses dynamic SQL and APEX
collections. Uses materialized views of people and table data
to speed searching.

Email Lookup - Takes spriden_id,
looks in GOREMAL, and checks a custom table that contains last
access. Custom email usage tables are update via UNIX cron
from data received from our student email system. If email
does not exist in GOREMAL, a "Create Email" button will create an
entry in GOREMAL that will automatically create and ftp a file to
our student email system. Used in Enrollment Services.

who have a pidm, but need the ID for a Banner screen.
