Changing Application Build Status Set During Deployment

Every Oracle Application Express application has an application-level attribute called Build Status. You can use this attribute to prevent an application from being modified by other developers. Build Status has two settings:

• Run and Build Application - Developers can both run and edit an application.

• Run Application Only - Developers can only run an application.

Setting the Build Status to Run Application Only is an effective way to prevent other developers from modifying it.

You can change the Build Status of an application as follows:

• Developers and administrators can change the Build Status attribute on the Edit Definition page. See "Availability" in Oracle Application Express Application Builder User's Guide.

• Workspace administrators can change the Build Status of applications within the current workspace on the Manage Application Build Status page. See "Changing Build Status for Multiple Applications".

• Oracle Application Express administrators can change the Build Status of an application on the Build Status page.

To change a Build Status as an Oracle Application Express administrator:

1. Log in to Oracle Application Express Administration Services. See "Logging in to Oracle Application Express Administration Services".

2. Click Manage Applications.

3. Click Build Status.

   The Build Status page appears.

4. Locate an application by making selections from the Build Status, Application, and Workspace lists and clicking Go.

5. Click the Edit icon adjacent to the appropriate application.

   The Edit Build Status page appears.

6. Select an alternate build status and click Apply Changes.
