Deploys an Oracle APEX application (produced by a build workflow using the buildAPEX plugin operation) to a target database. This operation manages deployment of builds produced by both the Full Deployment and Partial Package-Based Deployment models.
Any supporting database objects for the application are outside the scope of this operation , but can be managed in a separate project and workflows using the JDBC or Oracle Database Plugin.
This plugin supports deploying the same APEX application to the same database. This requires setting the Offset. This situation is not typical, so most often the offset can be ignored.
If the application has never been deployed and you do not currently have an offset, the plugin can generate the offset. Just select
Use APEX Offset(FDAPEX_USE_OFFSET), make sure you note the offset value used and set the propertyAPEX Offset Value(FDAPEX_OFFSET)for the next deployment.If you know the offset, select
Use APEX Offset(FDAPEX_USE_OFFSET)and set the propertyAPEX Offset Value(FDAPEX_OFFSET).

Target Properties
Property Name | Property Code | Required | Description |
|---|---|---|---|
Oracle SQLcl Home |
| Yes | Folder where SQLcl is installed. Use JDK 8 for Endpoint Java due to SQLcl requirements. |
APEX User |
| Yes | Provide database user APEX_xxxxx (APEX user requires INHERIT Privilege) or owner (parsing schema) of the application for export and import operations. You can use system user as well. |
APEX Password |
| Yes | Password for APEX User. |
| |||
Run Application Only |
| No | Deploy with Run Application Only as build status. |
Oracle Database URL |
| Yes | JDBC URL for Oracle database. |
For example:

Project Properties
Property Name | Property Code | Required | Description |
|---|---|---|---|
APEX Workspace Name |
| Yes | APEX Workspace Name. Provide uppercase name. This defaults to FD_INSTANCE_CODE expression, so if you keep instance code same as your workspace, you will not need to change default value. If Workspace id is different in each environment, FlexDeploy will still be able to handle that situation by deriving workspace id from workspace name provided. |
Parsing Schema |
| No | Parsing schema (owner) of APEX application. If not provided, value in exported sql file will be used, which means that schema name will be same in all environments. |
APEX Application Id |
| No | Identifying number of the application. If not specified, workspace name and application name is used to query application id, otherwise new application id will be generated. |
APEX Application Name |
| No | The name of the application to deploy. This is used to derive application id if application id is not provided. |
APEX Application Alias |
| No | Application alias is set on the application being imported. If not provided, then alias set in exported sql files will be used. |
Use APEX Offset |
| No | Determines if the plugin will attempt to set the Offset. |
APEX Offset value |
| No | The offset value during application import. This value is used to ensure that the metadata for the Application Express application definition does not collide with other metadata on the instance. |

Description
Artifacts
This operation consumes artifacts from the artifacts repository.
...
This operation will select all available endpoints associated to the environment/instanceTarget. You can use any Endpoint where SQLcl is installed and has connectivity to database using JDBC URL. We recommend use of LOCALHOST endpoint if connectivity can be established between FlexDeploy and your APEX database.
