Export APEX applications from App Builder environment. One or more Application is exported based on provided inputs. You can use this operation to export applications from development environment and commit to SCM on periodic basis. See example workflow below on this page. Example workflow is exporting applications in apexexport folder and then Git repository is cloned in to apexgitrepo, eventually exported files are copied in to cloned repository and committed.

Environment/Instance Properties

Property Name	Property Code	Required	Description
Oracle SQLcl Home	`FD_SQLCL_HOME`	Yes	Folder where SQLcl is installed. Use JDK 8 for Endpoint Java due to SQLcl requirements.
APEX User	`FDAPEX_USER`	Yes	Provide database user APEX_xxxxx or owner (parsing schema) of the application for export and import operations. You can use system user as well.
APEX Password	`FDAPEX_PASSWORD`	Yes	Password for APEX User.
Oracle Database URL	`FDORA_URL`	Yes	JDBC URL for Oracle database. For example: jdbc:oracle:thin:@HOSTNAME:PORT:SID or jdbc:oracle:thin:@//HOSTNAME:PORT/SERVICENAME. Connecting to Oracle Autonomous Database Once the Autonomous Database is created on Oracle cloud, download the client credentials zip file. You will need the admin userid and password. Unzip the client credentials zip file on endpoint where it will be used. You can mostly use localhost endpoint for this. For example, /home/flexdeploy/wallets/<wallet zip name> Database URL Syntax : jdbc:oracle:thin:@service_high?TNS_ADMIN=/home/flexdeploy/wallets/<wallet zip name> service_high is one of the entries in the tnsnames.ora file where client credentials zip file was unzipped TNS_ADMIN value in URL points to the location of the unzipped client credentials zip file Database URL Long Connection String Format Syntax Syntax : jdbc:oracle:thin:@(description= (retry_count=20)(retry_delay=3)(address=(protocol=tcps)(port=1522)(host=<hostname>))(connect_data=(service_name=<serice_name>))(security=(ssl_server_cert_dn="CN=<hostname>,OU=Oracle BMCS US,O=Oracle Corporation,L=Redwood City,ST=California,C=US"))) The " in the value for ssl_server_cert_dn field must be escaped using \ Examples for the same can be found here

Project Properties

Property Name	Property Code	Required	Description
Export Supporting Object Definitions	`FDAPEX_EXPORT_SUPPORTING_OBJECTS`	No	Specify whether to export supporting object definitions with your application.
Export Public Reports	`FDAPEX_EXPORT_PUBLIC_REPORTS`	No	Specify whether to include public reports with your application.
Export Report Subscriptions	`FDAPEX_EXPORT_REPORT_SUBSCRIPTIONS`	No	Specify whether to include interactive report or interactive grid subscription settings with your application.
Export Developer Comments	`FDAPEX_EXPORT_DEV_COMMENTS`	No	Specify whether to include Developer Comments in your application export.
Export Translations	`FDAPEX_INCLUDE_TRANSLATION`	No	Check to include Translations with your application export.

Inputs

Input Name	Input Code	Required	Description
Workspace Name	`FDAPEX_INP_WORKSPACE_NAME`	No	APEX workspace name. If not provided, all applications matching name will be exported.
Application Name	`FDAPEX_INP_APPLICATION_NAME`	No	APEX application name. If not provided, all applications from workspace will be exported. If both names are not provided then all applications will be exported.
Export Folder	`FDAPEX_INP_EXPORT_FOLDER`	No	Absolute or relative to temp directory path for exported applications.

Outputs

Output Name	Description

Artifacts

This operation doesn’t consume or produce any artifacts.

Endpoint Selection

This operation will select all available endpoints associated to the environment/instance. 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.

Endpoint Execution

This operation will execute on any one of the selected endpoints and will be random in the determination of which one.
