Database Reference
In-Depth Information
•
File Format
: As noted earlier, doesn't relate to the target platform but in-
stead to how the file is generated with regard to carriage returns and line
feeds.
•
Owner Override
: Allows you to override the currently assigned “parse as”
schema by either entering or selecting one.
•
Build Status Override
: Lets you select which build status is the default
when the application is imported. The default is Run and Build Application,
but you may set the status to Run Application Only.
•
Debugging
: Dictates whether the application is installed with debugging
enabled or disabled by default. Debugging is useful for applications in de-
velopment. However, as a best practice, you should turn off debugging for
production applications to prevent users from viewing things that may only
show up while in debug mode.
•
As Of
: Allows you to export the application as it existed a number of
minutes ago. For this feature to work, Flashback Query must be enabled at
the database level. The amount of time you may flash back is controlled by
the
UNDO_RETENTION
parameter at the database level.
Note
Although you can select default values for the settings in the Export Applica-
tion section, it's important to understand that they can be overridden when the applica-
tion is imported. At this point you're merely setting the defaults for the import.
In the Export Preferences section, several options allow you to decide what is in-
cluded in the application export. The following options are available:
•
Export Supporting Object Definitions
: Dictates whether any supporting ob-
jects that have been uploaded are exported with the application. See the
“Supporting Objects” section later in this chapter for a full description.
•
Export Public Interactive Reports
: Dictates whether report definitions
saved by end users and marked as public are exported as part of the applic-
ation.
•
Export Private Interactive Reports
: Dictates whether report definitions
saved by end users and marked as private are exported as part of the applic-
ation.
