7 Deprecated in Previous Releases
The following section lists features which were deprecated in a previous release but have not been fully removed or desupported from Oracle APEX.
Oracle strongly recommends that developers start to modify their applications as described in this section. Use APEX Advisor to scan existing applications for deprecated attributes.
7.1 Previously Deprecated APIs
The APEX_IR.GET_REPORT API is deprecated. Instead, use APEX_REGION.OPEN_QUERY_CONTEXT to get interactive report data.
7.2 Deprecated Utilities
The APEXExport utility is deprecated, and will be removed in a future release.
Oracle recommends using SQLcl instead.
7.3 Deprecated Legacy Web Service References
SOAP style Web Service references and legacy support for REST style Web Services references are deprecated.
7.4 jQuery UI Deprecated
jQuery UI is deprecated. Oracle recommends that customers update third-party APEX plug-ins and custom JavaScript code to remove any jQuery UI references. Native APEX components that use jQuery UI will continue to function, but support will be removed in a future release.
Oracle ships a custom bundle of JQuery UI 1.13.2 that includes only the modules that APEX needs. Oracle no longer ships individual widgets or any jQuery UI CSS files.
