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.

Target Properties

Property Name	Property Code	Required	Description

Property Name	Property Code	Required	Description
Oracle SQLcl Home	`FD_SQLCL_HOME`	Yes	Folder where SQLcl is installed. Make sure that the endpoint Java Home is a high enough version for your SQLcl version.
APEX User	`FDAPEX_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	`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.

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 application name, workspace name, and application id are not provided, then all applications will be exported.
Application ID	`FDAPEX_INP_APPLICATION_ID`	No	APEX Application ID. This will take priority over workspace name and application name if it is provided.
Export Folder	`FDAPEX_INP_EXPORT_FOLDER`	No	Absolute or relative to temp directory path for exported applications.

Artifacts

This operation doesn’t consume or produce any artifacts.

Endpoint Selection

This operation will select all available endpoints associated to the Target. 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.
