Trying to create a script to export my apex application. Using sqlcl, you can do
apex export 100
. Is there a way to do this using plain sql or pl/sql which are the ones that the Script Editor in Oracle Apex accepts?
CodePudding user response:
I agree with the script part, but not (PL/)SQL - create an operating system batch script. I'm on MS Windows, here's an example of what you might do:
REM Go to UTILITIES directory of your Apex installation directory
D:
cd D:\apex_4.2_instalacija\utilities
REM List of all applications you'll be exporting
REM Predmeti
java oracle.apex.APEXExport -db db_orcl:1521:orcl -user pred -password urb9xyz -applicationid 126
REM Naljepnice
java oracle.apex.APEXExport -db db_orcl:1521:orcl -user naljep -password stiwzf -applicationid 139
REM -----------------------------
REM Oracle schema username/password,
REM not Apex developer's or workspace or ...
REM Today's date in YYYY_MM_DD format
for /F "tokens=1-4 delims=. " %%i in ('date /t') do set yyyy_mm_dd=%%l_%%k_%%j
REM ZIP filename: APEX_YYYY_MM_DD.ZIP
set ime_zipa=apex_%yyyy_mm_dd%.zip
REM ZIP all exported applications (i.e. .SQL files)
"C:\Program Files\7-Zip\7z" a -tzip %ime_zipa% D:\apex_backup\f*.sql
REM Keep the ZIP, delete SQL files
del f*.sql
That's contents of my my_apex_export.bat
file. Schedule it using "Task Scheduler"; I'm running it every day at 21:00 o'clock and keep daily exports since March 2012.
