13.7.2 Synchronizing Data Locally

Use local data synchronization to cache less-frequently changing REST Data Source data for faster List of Values, lookup, and region access.

For less-frequently changing remote data, APEX can automatically create and manage a local cache table for a REST Data Source. You can configure a synchronization schedule, or call the SYNCHRONIZE_DATA procedure in the APEX_REST_SOURCE_SYNC package to refresh the data on-demand. Then enable the List of Values Use Synchronization Table? switch or a region's Use Local Table switch in the REST Synchronization section. When this option is enabled, APEX automatically uses the locally cached data instead of requesting the data over REST on each access.
