Installation
Oracle Application Express 18.1 Installation

Installation Requires:-

Oracle Application Express release 18.1 requires an Oracle Database release 11.2.0.4 or
later, including Enterprise Edition and Express Edition (Oracle Database XE).

Download APEX 18.1 software Here

Click Accept button and download the Oracle APEX 18.1.0 software.
Step 1:-Unzip the APEX 18.1.0.00.45 software:

unzip apex_18.1.zip -d /oradb/

Step 2:-Create a new APEX tablespace,

CREATE TABLESPACE APEX DATAFILE

‘/oradb/app/oracle/oradata/clone/apex01.dbf’ SIZE 1G;

CREATE TABLESPACE APEX DATAFILE

‘/opt/oracle/app/oracle/oradata/test/apex01.dbf' SIZE 1G
AUTOEXTEND ON NEXT 20M;
Step 3:-Check the Oracle Application Express is installed:

SELECT comp_name, version, status FROM dba_registry WHERE comp_id=’APEX’;

no rows selected

Step 4:-Installation of APEX 18.1:-

cd $ORACLE_HOME
rm -rf apex/
unzip apex_5_0_1_en.zip
cd $ORACLE_HOME/apex
sqlplus "/as sysdba"

SQL> @apexins APEX APEX TEMP /i/

Where
apex_tbs – name of the tablespace for the APEX user.
apex_files_tbs – name of the tablespace for APEX files user.
temp_tbs – name of the temporary tablespace.
images – virtual directory for APEX images. Define the virtual image directory as /i/ for
future updates. */

The above script create some SCHEMA on Database, you can test by
querying view ALL_USERS.

SQL> select username,created from all_users where USERNAME like ‘%APEX%’;

USERNAME CREATED
—————————————-
APEX_PUBLIC_USER 29-MAY-18
APEX_180100 29-MAY-18
APEX_INSTANCE_ADMIN_USER 29-MAY-18

Step 5:-Check the VERSION and STATUS is installed,

SELECT comp_name, version, status FROM dba_registry WHERE comp_id=’APEX’;

COMP_NAME VERSION STATUS
——————————————-
Oracle Application Express 18.1.0.00.45 VALID

Step 6:-Check APEX RELEASE VERSION:

select * from apex_release;

VERSION_NO API_COMPAT PATCH_APPL

———- ———- ———————
18.1.0.00.45 2018.04.04 APPLIED

Change your Admin password

SQL> @apxchpwd.sql Multan2019*

Create APEX_LISTENER and APEX_REST_PUBLIC_USER (password: APEX)

SQL> @apex_rest_config.sql

If you want to run the PL/SQL gateway continue to the next step
else you can skip this and go to Step 3. Directly
>> copy all images from uninstall images into
‘/opt/oracle/app/oracle/product/12.2.0/dbhome_1/apex/images’
then
Run
SQL> @apex_epg_config.sql
‘/opt/oracle/app/oracle/product/12.2.0/dbhome_1’
'/u01/app/oracle/product/12.2.0/dbhome_1' is the home directory
of Oracle Database

Configuring APEX:
Step 7:-Run the Embedded PL/SQL Gateway configuration (EPG)

This script will load the Application Express images into XDB,
@apex_epg_config.sql <parent of apex directory>

SQL> @apex_epg_config.sql /oradb

Step 8:-Make sure that the following accounts are unlocked:

ALTER USER anonymous ACCOUNT UNLOCK;

ALTER USER xdb ACCOUNT UNLOCK;
ALTER USER apex_public_user ACCOUNT UNLOCK;
ALTER USER flows_files ACCOUNT UNLOCK;
Step 9:-Configure database parameters for APEX:

SHOW PARAMETER job_queue_processes

NAME TYPE VALUE

———————————–
job_queue_processes integer 4000

SHOW PARAMETER shared_servers

NAME TYPE VALUE

———————————–
max_shared_servers integer
shared_servers integer 1

Change the shared_servers parameter:

ALTER system SET shared_servers=5 scope=both;

Check the HTTP Port,

SQL> SELECT DBMS_XDB.gethttpport FROM DUAL;
If this is 0 and you need to to install Apex with ORDS then goto
Step 3. else continue and get the port
SQL> EXEC DBMS_XDB.sethttpport(8080);
SQL> SELECT DBMS_XDB.gethttpport FROM DUAL;
--
8080

The URL for Apex application now should be accessible from Web
Browser http://localhost:8080/apex/apex_admin

Step 10:-Used to perform the final configuration steps for Oracle

Application Express, including setting the XDB HTTP listener port and
Application Express ADMIN password.

To user, you can use ADMIN by default, and email can be skipped.

Also you can change the HTTP port.But default port is 8080.
SQL>@/oradb/apex/apxconf.sql

PORT
———-
8080

Enter values below for the XDB HTTP listener port and the password for the Application
Express ADMIN user.
Default values are in brackets [ ].
Press Enter to accept the default value.

=========================================================
This script can be used to change the password of an Application Express
instance administrator. If the user does not yet exist, a user record will be
created.
=========================================================
Enter the administrator’s username [ADMIN]
User “ADMIN” does not yet exist and will be created.
Enter ADMIN’s email [ADMIN]
Enter ADMIN’s password []
Created instance administrator ADMIN.

Enter a port for the XDB HTTP listener [ 8080]

…changing HTTP Port

APEX configuration has been completed.

Step 11:-Check the HTTP port:

SQL> select dbms_xdb.gethttpport from dual;

GETHTTPPORT
———–
8080

Step 12:-Check the listener status and HTTP port is enabled,
