Understanding the Packaging Process

To move an application from one Oracle Application Express instance to another, you need to move both the metadata and supporting objects used by the application as follows:

1. Move the application definition and all associated files. See "How to Move an Application to Another Development Instance".

2. Move the supporting objects. Review the Database Dependencies report to determine what objects to move. See "About the Database Object Dependencies Report" and "How to Create a Packaged Application".
