About Publishing the Application URL

After deploying your application, you need to publish its URL so end users know how to access it.

To determine the URL:

1. Log in to Oracle Application Express on the production environment.

2. Select the application.

3. On the Application home page, position the mouse over the Run Application icon.

4. Note the URL that displays in the status bar at the bottom of the page.

For example:

http://apex.oracle.com/pls/apex/f?p=11563:1:3397731373043366363

Where:

• apex.oracle.com is the URL of the server.

• pls is the indicator to use the mod_plsql.

• apex is the database access descriptor (DAD) name. The DAD describes how Oracle HTTP Server connects to the database server so that it can fulfill an HTTP request. The default value is apex.

• f?p= is a prefix used by Oracle Application Express.

• 11563 is the application being called.

• 1 is the page within the application to be displayed.

• 3397731373043366363 is the session number, which is unique for every user's access to the application. Do not include session numbers as a part of the URL communicated to end users.

To run this example application, you would go to this URL:

http://apex.oracle.com/pls/apex/f?p=11563:1
