The imported application and its contents
How It Works
There are two ways to import an application.
•
Import an application visually through the APEX Application Builder window.
•
Import an application through SQL*Plus.
Recipe 9-5 describes how you can import an application through SQL*Plus.
9-5. Scripting an Application Import
Problem
You need to automate the import of an application via batch script, and therefore you can't import the
application through the Application Builder interface.
Solution
Import that application using SQL*Plus. By using SQL*Plus, you trade the GUI interface of Application
Builder for the ability to script and automate your import. Here are the steps to follow:
1.
Run SQL*Plus.
2.
Log in as the System Administrator to SQL*Plus.
