Introduction
Oracle Application Express (APEX) is Oracle’s primary tool for Database and web application development. APEX (https://tekslate.com/oracle-apex-
training/)adoption has exploded over recent years and is  now considered by Oracle themselves to be fundamental to  their own application development
requirements for internal and external web based systems APEX is a free to use development environment to build web based applications using SQL

requirements for internal and external web based systems APEX is a free to use  development environment to build web based applications using SQL
(https://tekslate.com/sql-server-integration-in-ssis/) and PL/SQL. Explorer has been using APEX since 2004 to develop professional business applications for
desktops and mobile devices. .

Whether it is speed of delivery or complete control and precision that is required, APEX caters for all. First and foremost the integrated development
environment (IDE) is very intuitive, which makes the introduction and adoption of APEX, irrespective of whether the user is an experience developer or a data
user, an easy transition.

APEX provides a development environment for professional developers but also accommodates data users who need to rapidly build and represent data by
using intuitive wizards. With minimal coding, a data user can build and distribute data forms, reports and charts and a more experienced developer can,
without limitations, deliver enterprise class solutions using a very productive page designer interface.

Because Application Express is so tightly integrated with the Database, the complexity of the application framework, including session management and
security, are handled automatically allowing the developer or data user to focus on delivering application functionality, which drastically reduces the
development lifecycle and lowers cost.

APEX should be adopted by businesses that recognise the value of keeping costs down and simplifying technical solutions to deliver business requirements.
Simply put, by  using APEX you can develop complex systems at up to 1/4 of  the time it takes for an equivalent Java deployment – with  no loss in
functionality. It’s stable, it scales and it’s secure.

Oracle Application Express (APEX) should also be the preferred  development tool for any Oracle developer with PL/SQL experience as it allows them to
develop modern Web 2.0 applications by leveraging their existing development expertise. APEX applications are as good as you develop them and Explorer is
renowned for our ability to develop enterprise class applications with APEX. We have been at the forefront of APEX development since 2004 and endorsed by
the very people at Oracle who created Application Express and continue to manage the product today.

Create a new tablespace to act as the default tablespace for APEX.

https://tekslate.com/tutorials/oracle-apex/ 3/8
12/14/2017 Oracle APEX 5 Online Tutorials And Learning Resources

CREATE TABLESPACE apex DATAFILE '/u01/app/oracle/oradata/db11g/apex01.dbf'

SIZE 100M AUTOEXTEND ON NEXT 1M;

Installation
Change directory to the directory holding the unzipped APEX software.

$ cd /home/oracle/apex

Connect to SQL*Plus as the SYS user and run the “apexins.sql” script, specifying the relevant tablespace names and image URL.

SQL> CONN / AS SYSDBA

SQL> -- @apexins.sql tablespace_apex tablespace_files tablespace_temp images
SQL>
SQL> @apexins.sql APEX APEX TEMP /i/

Once complete, change the admin password by running the “apxchpwd.sql” scripts as the SYS user.

SQL> CONN / AS SYSDBA

SQL> @apxchpwd.sql

Create the APEX_LISTENER and APEX_REST_PUBLIC_USER users by running the “apex_rest_con g.sql” script.

SQL> CONN / AS SYSDBA

SQL> @apex_rest_config.sql

Embedded PL/SQL Gateway (EPG) Con guration

Run the “apex_epg_con g.sql” script, passing in the base directory of the installation software as a parameter.

SQL> CONN / AS SYSDBA

SQL> @apex_epg_config.sql /home/oracle

Unlock the ANONYMOUS account.

https://tekslate.com/tutorials/oracle-apex/ 4/8
12/14/2017 Oracle APEX 5 Online Tutorials And Learning Resources

SQL> ALTER USER ANONYMOUS ACCOUNT UNLOCK;

If this is an upgrade to an existing APEX installation, you will also have to run the following script, to update the images.

SQL> @apxldimg.sql /home/oracle

Check the port setting for XML DB Protocol Server.

SQL> SELECT DBMS_XDB.gethttpport FROM DUAL;

GETHTTPPORT
-----------
0

1 row selected.

SQL>

If it is set to “0”, you will need to set it to a non-zero value to enable it.

SQL> EXEC DBMS_XDB.sethttpport(8080);

PL/SQL procedure successfully completed.

SQL>

APEX should now be available from a URL like “http://machine:port/apex”.

OHS Con guration

Change the password and unlock the APEX_PUBLIC_USER account. This will be used for any Database Access Descriptors (DADs).

https://tekslate.com/tutorials/oracle-apex/ 5/8
12/14/2017 Oracle APEX 5 Online Tutorials And Learning Resources

SQL> ALTER USER APEX_PUBLIC_USER IDENTIFIED BY myPassword ACCOUNT UNLOCK;

If you don’t want the password to expire you will need to create a new pro le with password expiration disabled and assign it to the user.

Create a DAD in the OHS:

-Log into EM (http://server:port/em)

-From the tree select “Farm_DomainName > Web Tier > ohs1”

-On the resulting page select “Oracle HTTP Server > Administration > Advanced Con guration”

-From the dropdown list select “dads.conf” and click the “Go” button.

-Edit the “dads.conf” le, adding an entry like that shown below, then click the “Apply” button.

<Location /apex>
Order deny,allow
PlsqlDocumentPath docs
AllowOverride None
PlsqlDocumentProcedure wwv_flow_file_mgr.process_download
PlsqlDatabaseConnectString db11g TNSFormat
PlsqlNLSLanguage AMERICAN_AMERICA.AL32UTF8
PlsqlAuthenticationMode Basic
SetHandler pls_handler
PlsqlDocumentTablename wwv_flow_file_objects$
PlsqlDatabaseUsername APEX_PUBLIC_USER
PlsqlDefaultPage apex
PlsqlDatabasePassword myPassword
PlsqlRequestValidationFunction wwv_flow_epg_include_modules.authorize
Allow from all
</Location>

-Select the “Oracle HTTP Server > Control > Restart” option.

-Click the resulting “Restart” button.

-Once restarted, click the “Close” button.

Alternatively, edit the “dads.conf” le directly. For the OHS that comes with Forms and Reports Services, this is located here
$

“$FR_INST/con g/OHS/ohs1/mod_plsql/dads.conf”. Once amended, remember to restart the HTTP server.

$ $FR_INST/bin/opmnctl restartproc process-type=OHS

Copy the APEX images to your Oracle HTTP Server.

$ cp -R /tmp/apex/images $FR_INST/config/OHS/ohs1/htdocs/apex_images

Make them available from the “/i/” alias by adding the following alias to the virtual host de ned in the “ssl.conf” or “httpd.conf” le in the
“$FR_INST/con g/OHS/ohs1” directory.

Alias /i/ "/u01/app/oracle/middleware/FR_inst/config/OHS/ohs1/htdocs/apex_images/"

APEX should now be available from a URL like “http://machine:port/apex”.
