Installing an Application Export from the Export Repository

After you import an application export into an Oracle Application Express instance, you must install it before it can become active or available in Application Builder.

To install an application export from the Export Repository:

  1. Navigate to the Export Repository:

    1. On the Workspace home page, click the Application Builder icon.

    2. Select an application.

    3. On the Tasks list, click Manage Export Repository.

      The Export Repository appears.

  2. Select an application export and click Install in the Action column.

  3. Specify the following:

    1. Parsing Schema - Select a schema.

      This is the schema against which all of the application's SQL and PL/SQL will be parsed.

    2. Build Status - Select one of the following:

      • Run Application Only

      • Run and Build Application

      Select Run Application Only to run the application in the target instance and make it inaccessible to developers.


      Tip:

      If you select Run Application Only, the only way to change this setting after you import the application is to log in to Oracle Application Express Administration Services. See "Changing Application Build Status Set During Deployment" Oracle Application Express Administration Guide.

    3. Install As Application - Select one of the following:

      • Reuse Application ID from Export File

      • Auto Assign New Application ID

      • Change Application ID

      Use these options to avoid application ID conflicts. Use these options when you need to have two versions of the same application in the same instance. For example, you might be migrating an application to a production instance and still need to maintain the development version.

    4. Click Install.
