Deploy (APEX)

Deploy the application to the database. This operation requires one ore more exported SQL files, these files can be either specified by using the APEX SQL Files (FDAPEX_SQL_FILES) or the plugin will deploy the ".sql" files in the artifacts folder.

This plugin supports deploying the same APEX application to the same database. This requires setting the Offset.

  • 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 property APEX Offset Value (FDAPEX_OFFSET) for the next deployment.  
  • If you know the offset, select Use APEX Offset (FDAPEX_USE_OFFSET) and set the property APEX Offset Value (FDAPEX_OFFSET).

You will also need to set the application id and change the alias.
