Builds an APEX application artifact, sourcing from an SCM or Oracle APEX Application Builder in a development environment. This operation can be used in conjunction with FlexDeploy's Full and Partial deployment models.
- Full Deployment
- Entire application gets exported.
- Source from SCM
- Set desired SCM type.
- Add SCM export or checkout operation before buildAPEX operation in workflow.
- Source from App Builder
- Set SCM type to None.
- You only need to add buildAPEX operation in workflow.
- Partial Deployment
- Only selected page/components are exported. You can also export All Files, which means entire application gets exported.
- Source from SCM
- Set desired SCM type.
- You only need to add buildAPEX operation in workflow.
- SCM export or checkout operation is not required at all as FlexDeploy will implicitly perform extract of files from SCM based on project configurations.
- Source from App Builder
- Set SCM type to None.
- You only need to add buildAPEX operation in workflow.
- Oracle JDBC driver must on the FlexDeploy server's classpath. If the FlexDeploy is setup to use Oracle Database, the driver will be already available. However, if the FlexDeploy is using PostgreSQL or MySQL, then you will need to place the Oracle JDBC Driver on the FlexDeploy server, add it to the server's classpath, and restart it.

Property Name | Property Code | Required | Description |
