Creating a Workspace Manually

To create an Oracle Application Express workspace manually:

1. Log in to Oracle Application Express Administration Services. Oracle Application Express Administration Services is a separate application for managing an entire Oracle Application Express instance. You log in using the ADMIN account and password created or reset during the installation process.

   1. In a Web browser, navigate to the Oracle Application Express Administration Services application. By default, Oracle Application Express Administration Services installs to the following location:

      • If your setup uses the embedded PL/SQL gateway, go to:

        http://hostname:port/apex/apex_admin
        

        Where:

        hostname is the name of the system where Oracle XML DB HTTP Server is installed.

        port is the port number assigned to Oracle XML DB HTTP Server. In a default installation, this number is 8080.

        apex is the database access descriptor (DAD) defined in the configuration file.

      • If your setup uses Apache and mod_plsql, go to:

        http://hostname:port/pls/apex/apex_admin
        

        Where:

        hostname is the name of the system where Oracle HTTP Server is installed.

        port is the port number assigned to Oracle HTTP Server. In a default installation, this number is 7777.

        pls is the indicator to use the mod_plsql cartridge.

        apex is the database access descriptor (DAD) defined in the mod_plsql configuration file.

   2. On the Login page:

      • In Username, enter admin.

      • In Password, enter the Oracle Application Express administrator account password you specified when you installed Oracle Application Express.

      • Click Login.

3. Under Manage Workspaces, click Create Workspace.

      Tip: If the Oracle Forms application schema exists in the current database, select it. If it does not exist in the current database, follow the steps outlined in "Step 3: Upload Database Objects into the Schema Associated with Your Workspace" .

      
      

6. For Identify Administrator, enter the Workspace administrator information and click Next.
