:mega: Oracle Database 23ai & APEX Iberian Tour is coming to you! https://blogs.oracle.com/apex/post/iberian-tour-2025

I was thinking with the downtime of apex.oracle.com this weekend we would awake to 24.2?? :thinking_face:

Was wondering if it's worth adding another channel. Have some questions on the "AI Assistant", and feel with as big as that topic is, might be a separate channel. Anyways, my company is going to start Microsoft Copilot for Business, since MS already has all our data anyways. From what I have read, APEX 24.1 currently only supports OpenAI, and OCI Gen AI Service. Any plans for when other services will be supported? Or is there ability to add our own service somehow?

HOW would we know what code is behind that? the Oracle portion is just a wrapper to java code in the database, right?

Hello all, Where can I see the full code of the yellow highlighted Java procedure? It's meant to get file from sftp server and push into external table in oracle. I would like to see where is the code that's doing that. Any help?

Hello APEX Family, I know much has been written and said about this topic, but so far I haven't had the need to address it, and I would like to know if there is any option available from APEX itself or from any other approach: I need to be able to copy a private IR report from the owning user to another user. Alternatively, the option to "share" a private report from one user with selected other users would also be valid. *Ideally, a user would create a private report and share it with others of their choice in "read-only" mode.* As always, I appreciate your feedback and collaboration. Best regards, and thank you!

I am doing an advent calendar with short APEX tips and tricks videos every day. The first 11 videos are already online; you can check them out in this playlist: https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLpg61eZsDU4Z4G67ZwX6K5CQh0HhqyM5Z :christmas_tree:

There was some APEX / ORDS patch issue in Ashburn OCI today which caused an outage across multiple Autonomous envs. Does anybody have further info on the issue? or even how we could detect that patching was scheduled or taking place? Ideally this would be visible from the ADB console in OCI.

Hi Hi everyone! Is there a way to restrict access to Public Saved Reports based on user groups? Currently, when a report is saved as Public, all users can see it, but I need to limit which users can access specific public reports.

Hello team, I'm try to update multiple rows using interactive grid custom process. But I'm getting this error *1 error has occurred* • Session state protection violation: This may be caused by manual alteration of protected page item BUDGET_PERIOD. If you are unsure what caused this error, please contact the application administrator for assistance. i have set source attribute for page item (BUDGET_PERIOD) to query only but still not working. This is my custom process BEGIN IF :APEX$ROW_STATUS = 'C' THEN INSERT INTO XXPAN_BUDGET_MONTH_CONSUME ( REC_GUID, BUDGET_PERIOD, BUDGET_YEAR, DEPARTMENT_NAME, VENDOR_CODE, MONTH_AMOUNT, DESCRIPTION, CREATION_DATE, CREATED_BY, LAST_UPDATE_DATE, LAST_UPDATED_BY ) VALUES ( :P121_GUID, :BUDGET_PERIOD, :P121_BUDGET_YEAR, :P121_LEGAL_CONTENT, :VENDOR_CODE, :MONTH_AMOUNT, :DESCRIPTION, SYSDATE, :SESSION_EMAIL, SYSDATE, :SESSION_EMAIL ); COMMIT; ELSIF :APEX$ROW_STATUS = 'U' THEN UPDATE XXPAN_BUDGET_MONTH_CONSUME SET VENDOR_CODE = :VENDOR_CODE, MONTH_AMOUNT = :MONTH_AMOUNT, DESCRIPTION = :DESCRIPTION, PURCHASE_ORDER_NUMBER = :PURCHASE_ORDER_NUMBER, LAST_UPDATE_DATE = SYSDATE, LAST_UPDATED_BY = :SESSION_EMAIL WHERE ID_NO = :ID_NO; COMMIT; END IF; END; Any idea how to solve this error?

I work on an app that I have to deploy to about 12 customers local environments, all difference workspace ids, etc. Once I deploy the app I drop in their themeroller json, logo file, etc Authentication is done from a component group I have in a different app BUT my biggest problem is deploying updates. I redeploy the app, and then have to remake the 3 items above (themeroller json, logo, authentication copy from the 'sso-tester' app I always do locally Is there an easier way to make localizations on authentication and themeroller. Logo seems like I could make it a workspace logo file and always have it the same name or something.

Hii Team, how can set default value for combobox , in below case users should not remove Accounts Team or Data Privacy Team .

Hi, What are the tables and views associated with working copies feature of Oracle APEX? Is there an audit table feature that keep tracks of the difference between working copy of the app and main version of the app in APEX240100 schema? If not, how we can view the differences using an query instead the view differences option in GUI?

I'm running APEX in my autonomous database in OCI, trying to set up APEX Assistant to use OpenAI. I follow the instructions I find on the web to the letter but can't OpenAI declines the request. I know this is not enough detail to really help me, but if there is a really good tutorial out there that actually shows ALL necessary steps, that would be helpful.

Hi everyone! I have a question regarding to displaying running balance in accounting application using views table in oracle apex. is it possible that the application will slowdown in processing view tables?

Hello all, I have a requirement not to delete a row in a table for a specific value of a column (Call_ID), if the table contains only that single row for that value. But if we are inserting a new row (Same Call_ID), then we have to delete the old row, even if there is only that row. It seems a bit confusing or contradictory. In short the Call_ID is unique but once inserted, should no longer be deleted until further notice. Can only be updated, or replaced entirely... We can add a column to deactivate it if needed. I keep running into "_Mutating Table Error_" when I am trying to run a count on the table in a trigger before deleting. What's the way to handle this requirement in a trigger?

Hi everyone! :wave: I have a switch-type page item and I need to pass its value to another Modal page using a button with 'Redirect to Page' action, but the value is coming through as null on the Modal page. Does anyone know what might be happening? Am I using the item incorrectly?

Hello Everyone, Earlier, I was able to export APEX applications as YAML files, but I no longer see that option. Could someone guide me on how to locate it and assist me with exporting the application in YAML format? Your help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks in advance! Sridhar

I'm trying to access knowledge article 742060.1 to view database release schedules, support timelines, etc. but with the new support site changes, the document seems to have been moved to the "cloud" support portal. My company runs our databases on-premise so we do not have a "Subscription ID" or "Account Name" since we don't use any cloud services. Anybody know how we can access that article?

Hi All. I had a question. Does oracle apex has out of the box treemap component functionality? So instead of plugin i want to use the out of the box functionality from apex. At the moment i am doing it using the plugin. Thanks for your responses to this.

A maybe simple question. I have an apex _ldap.search which works. But how can i search for a wildcard :man-shrugging: it dont works with * or % The searchfilter is: p_search_filter => 'cn=' || apex_escape.ldap_search_filter('*')

Hi guys! How are you doing today? :) Let me try to find out if someone else is facing this scenario... I have a region type URL. This region presents a form that belongs to other apps in the APEX solution created. For most of the cases, these forms are static, but I have one where the items are shown or hiddden based on selection of specific values. When using this region using prior versions of MS Edge / Chrome / Firefox, it works. However, on latest version of any browser the region doesn’t display correctly. I’m attaching a couple of screenshots to show the issue: a couple of them belong to Chrome, latest version of the browser, and a couple of them belong to Firefox v127 Any hints on a possible work around? Thanks in advance!!

Hi, I have a requirement to track which user has downloaded an interactive report. A quick search led me to this blog from 2018, is this still the best way to do it? https://spendolini.blogspot.com/2018/04/logging-apex-report-downloads.html

does apex restricts the developer with number of opened sessions or taps ? if yes , is there a way to increase this number ( number of opened tabs for the oracle apex developers )

All my google searches yield links that are 15+ years old and are stale/dead. Looking to see if anyone has ever created a serviceable wiki with APEX. I don’t have an immediate need but am curious.

Hello Team, can we make single column of IR editable? If yes , how? Any idea

Is it possible to hide the download button on reports for some users based on roles, or alternatively password protect the download button? The requirement is to have view only and view and download roles for certain reports.

Hiii Team, how can we change unwanted url in alert message while sign out.I used below configuration on Nevigation bar to show alert message.

Hi Team, In a static region i have to show around 10 to 20 fields as part of search...

Hi all, I have an application with an interactive report on P1 which has a link to another page, P2. This opens in a new tab and populates a field :P2_USER_ID based on the user they select. This page contains a form and a few classic reports pertaining to the user . The issue we are having is the client wants to be able to open multiple tabs within a single session (i.e. on page 1 be able to click on say 3 user names and open 3 separate tabs), this works until they try to paginate through one of the reports, at which point it uses the newly set :P2_USER_ID from the next open tab, resulting in form information displaying for the original user but report information for the user id that hast been clicked last. Is there a simple fix for this? The reports can contain tens of thousands of rows so don't want to load it all on a single page. Would something like refreshing the page on paginate to reset the user_id work? TIA

Have there been any APEX Office Hours for 24.2? Looking to see what features will be in the next version

Hi can we exclude oracle APEX internal workspace from using workspace SSO

@Jonathan Rosen "this" being the APEX AI assistant? It requires the integration with an AI service. Open AI, Oracle AI (on OCI) or coherant. But you can configure it from on-prem as well as any cloud service. Assuming you can reach one of the services.

Does this only run with the autonomous server?

Hi guys, it took a while, lot's of small detail work but *apex.world 2.0 is now available with AI Assistant*. Check the video to see the new features, let us know what you think :v: https://youtu.be/RaYsJT__S5E?t=1148

but where should i use below code---function (pCurrentDate) { // Ignore the pCurrentDate and format every day the same return { disabled: false, /* Day is not disabled */ class: "customDayStyle", /* Use this CSS class */ tooltip: "Choose a delivery date" /* Use this tooltip */ }; }

have a look at this blogpost https://diveintoapex.com/2023/01/30/custom-date-picker-formatting/

Just to be sure, you are talking about the date picker item, right?
