GUI with Oracle Linux 7 doesn't launch

2830656Jan 18 2020 — edited Apr 27 2020

hi

i have installed the GUI on my Oracle Linux 7 server (instance on OCI) following the procedure described in "How to Install GUI with Oracle Linux 7 (Doc ID 2153562.1)". https://support.oracle.com/epmos/faces/DocumentDisplay?_afrLoop=58499652313636&parent=WIDGET_RECENTLY_VIEWED&sourceId=15…

At the end of the doc, it says i have to reboot the linux server and the GUI should launched automatically, but it doesn't, when double clicking on the IP Adress of my linux server using Mobaxterm, i still have the the command line prompt and cannot see the GUI. Can someone help ?

Many thanks

Gilles

You can call the function from the button by setting the action to URL and using the syntax:
javascript: myFunction();

I would suggest you look into creating a dialog window with jQuery:
http://jqueryui.com/dialog/#modal-confirmation

I would suggest you add the javascript to your page (edit page), and you can place the div in a region with no template on the same page.

You can bind a function to each button of your dialog. You can use the function apex.submit(myRequest); to submit the page in Apex with your own request.

Ok now I understand.

Firstly you import the jQuery files and CSS files, but there is no need for that because Apex has already build those in.
Second, I suggest you start from the function "Model Confirmation", since that already contains two buttons
Third place any javascript not in the header but in the javascript tab.

So your function, that we call myFunction for now, but it's better to give a more clear name later becomes:
 function myFunction() {
    apex.jQuery( "#dialog-confirm" ).dialog({
      resizable: false,
      height:140,
      modal: true,
      buttons: {
        "Delete all items": function() {
          apex.jQuery( this ).dialog( "close" );
        },
        Cancel: function() {
          apex.jQuery( this ).dialog( "close" );
        }
      }
    });
  }
Notice how I replaced all references to $ with apex.jQuery as is recomended.
Also note that the current delete all items button and cancel button, only close the dialog atm. That's this part: "apex.jQuery( this ).dialog( "close" );" You might want to replace this with your own actions. One action could be apex.submit('SAVE'); for example.
You might also want to change the name of the buttons.

I see you also placed your div in the header but it's better to do as I suggested to place it in a region with no template.
<div id="dialog-confirm" title="Empty the recycle bin?">
  <p><span class="ui-icon ui-icon-alert" style="float: left; margin: 0 7px 20px 0;"></span>These items will be permanently deleted and cannot be recovered. Are you sure?</p>
</div>
Remember to replace the text with your own.

Hi,
I have placed code in page javascripts
function myFunction() {
    apex.jQuery( "#dialog-confirm" ).dialog({
      resizable: false,
      height:140,
      modal: true,
      buttons: {
        "DOWNLOAD": function() {
          apex.submit('DOWNLOAD');    //Download is my button name
        },
        Cancel: function() {
          apex.jQuery( this ).dialog( "close" );
        }
      }
    });
  }
and on page region with no template applied code as 
<div id="dialog-confirm" title="Empty the recycle bin?">
  <p><span class="ui-icon ui-icon-alert" style="float: left; margin: 0 7px 20px 0;"></span>Do you want ot save file</p>
</div>
it is just simply showing message on the region but not populating the dialig box when i click on "DOWNLOAD" Button.

where am doing wrong?



Thanks & Regards
Vedant

That your div already shows at page load is because of your template, my theme hides the regions.

You can fix this by placing this in your javascript tab at Execute on Page loads:
apex.jQuery('#dialog-confirm').hide();

As for it not working now, I just tried the code and got no problems here. I suggest you search the console for errors, and create an example on apex.oracle.com from scatch so I can have a look.

Your button was not set to redirect to URL: javascript: myFunction();
So I added that.
It seems to work fine now.

Hi Vedaant, I think Joni's answered your question, any new questions should be new threads. Having said that, there are many links providing information on what writing blobs to files if you look.
For example; http://www.dba-oracle.com/t_writing_blob_clob_os_file.htm
