3.5.4.1 About Enabling Network Services
Enabling network services enables support for sending outbound mail in Oracle APEX, use of Web services in APEX, and PDF report printing with BI Publisher.
By default, the ability to interact with network services is disabled in
Oracle Database 11g Release 2 or later. Therefore, if you are running Oracle APEX with Oracle Database 11g Release 2 or later, you must use the new
DBMS_NETWORK_ACL_ADMIN
package to grant connect privileges to any
host for the APEX_240100
database user. Failing to grant these privileges results in issues with:
-
Sending outbound mail in Oracle APEX.
Users can call methods from the
APEX_MAIL
package, but issues arise when sending outbound email. -
Consuming web services from APEX.
-
Making outbound LDAP calls from APEX.
-
PDF report printing with BI Publisher.
