Is there available any tool or framework for automated security testing of Oracle Apex 20.1 application?
I found Apex-sert but as the README on their github page says it supports only older versions.
https://github.com/OraOpenSource/apex-sert
You can download from my fork https://github.com/rajeshvig/apex-sert, last build is for 19.1 but i didn't have to make any changes till 20.2 after this as it works as is
No, There is no tool or framework for automated security testing of Oracle Apex 20.1 application as of now.
I've never seen an automation tool specific for APEX, however there are some that are surprisingly capable or navigating it in and have a low learning curve.
Have you ever tried cypress ? We use it here and it does the trick with APEX and many other types of web applications.
If you never heard of it, I could recommend this video from insum

We are planning a migration of an Oracle Forms and report 6i application to 12c, and at the same time we will upgrade to the latest version of Oracle (from 10g to 12c).
I would like to know the steps that we can follow, or from where to start?
Is there anything that we must consider before doing this? Any problems that we might encounter?
Any information whatsoever would be helpful !
I just recently did this exact thing.
You'll want to use the Forms migration assistant to do the heavy lifting. Copy your FMB files somewhere and run the assistant against them. Then open the FMB's in 12c and convert the 2 tier commands to 3 tier (like HOST to CLIENT_HOST (using webutil), etc) and you also may want to look for other enhancements that can be made using 12c specific code over 6i (file operation handling, reports, external link handling, etc)
I can't find much documentation on this and I haven't worked with Forms before. As I understand it, Forms 10 doesn't support ActiveX controls any longer.
Does that mean the controls won't work at all in WebForms or that Oracle just doesn't handle bugs on this issue any longer? Has anyone tried using ActiveX controls in Forms 10 and succeded? Can the controls be somehow wrapped in Java and work?
If it helps, I'm seeking to build an ActiveX control to communicate with hardware devices such as scanner and a photo camera, take pictures, process the images and then return them to a WebForms running server.
You are right using Active X and Oracle Forms when deployed on the web is not supported by Oracle.
Oracle recommend the use of Pluggable Java Components instead. The following paragraph is taken from here
I currently have a client-server application that uses an embedded
ActiveX control to communicate with an external device. How can I
maintain this functionality when I deploy the application on the Web?
Assuming that the device in question (for example, a Scanner) is
attached to each client machine, rather than the server, you will use
a Pluggable Java Component (PJC) to extend the capabilities of the
Forms Java Client and allow it to talk to the hardware in question.
JDeveloper 3.2 provides a Wizard to help you build such pluggable Java
Components.
Whether your Active X control will work or not, unfortunately the answer is that it might or it might not. If not you are on your own.
I agree that documentation is hard to find. The best place to start is the Forms Page on OTN Followed by the Forms 10g technical listings and the even older 9i and earlier docs.
I am looking for a quick and easy way to setup Siebel Open UI so that I can test it out before implementing it in my company's environment. We are currently using 8.1.1.5 and are interested in upgrading to 8.1.1.9. We have heard that Siebel Open UI will allow you to use the CRM in Google chrome and other browsers. We also heard there is more freedom to change the UI and that we don't have to stick with the SWSE templates.
Here is the link for Oracle Siebel VM. This will give you a Siebel 8.1.1 version which you will have to upgrade to the latest available IP. (8.1.1.10 is the latest available as on this date)
http://www.oracle.com/technetwork/server-storage/vm/siebel-092480.html
Look at Bloomspire. They can easily set up Siebel environments including 8.1.1.9. They are a lot cheaper than Oracle's cloud solution.
How about using the VM oracle provides?
VM sounds like a good idea, but i too couldn't find those on delivery. Oracle now has cumulative 8.1.1.9 installation, meaning you only need to install it once, and it will have OpenUI. Unfortunately, OpenUI is still work in progress, so you need to apply a lot of HotFixes to make it work properly. Unfortunately , Oracle doesn't provide any way to apply them un-attended, so there is no way around some manual patching.
We've just been through an internal upgrade for OpenUI, and now running 8.1.1.10
Seems that the jump from .9 to .10 is a major hurdle..
If you are still in need of assistance, feel free to contact me.

I am new in oracle apex...
can any one tell me that from which site I can get oracle apex sample and professiona(running) Projects which are deployed in the companies .From that we can learn a lot that how the professional we can write the code.
There used to be a bunch of packaged applications, but it seems you are out of luck right now:
http://www.oracle.com/technetwork/developer-tools/apex/application-express/packaged-apps-090453.html
You can find the standard sample application there.

There is a list of commercial APEX applications on the OTN APEX website here. I don't imagine they let you look at their code though.
I want to run Oracle Forms standalone without any web-browser with java plugin.
Is there a way to call a compiled .fmx form directly via some java application or by calling the forms-JAR-files with some parameters?
CU, Arne
Inofficial contradiction: Yes, it's possible :-)
Oracle support says it is officially not supported, but you can use Web Start (again not supported by Oracle).
Support recommended this link: http://groundside.com/blog/JanCarlin.php?title=forms_and_java_web_start and our developers tried and succeeded. You can run it as local application without need of a web browser (looks like an applet without browser window around).
Update (2013-01-18): The blog seems to have moved/old entries vanished. See here at archive.org for original article: http://web.archive.org/web/20090303153527/http://groundside.com/blog/JanCarlin.php?title=forms_and_java_web_start&more=1&c=1&tb=1&pb=1
No it's not possible. Oracle forms 9i and above are web only releases. All the architecture needed to execute the fmx is now located within the Oracle Application Server.
The 2nd question from this link explains that Forms 9i (which 10g and later are built on) are web only releases
