Workspace and Application Administration

1 Workspace and Application Administration

In an Oracle Application Express development environment, users sign in to a shared work area called a workspace. Workspace administrators monitor and administer a shared work area called a workspace.

Understanding Workspace Administration
Use Workspace Administration to monitor and administer a workspace.
Monitoring Activity Within a Workspace
Monitor developer activity and changes within a workspace by accessing the Monitor Activity page.
Using the Manage Service Page
Use the Manage Service page to manage service requests, configure workspace preferences, edit workspace announcements, and view reports. Additionally, administrators use this page to clear log files, manage session state, clear cached content, manage Websheet database objects, and manage interactive report settings.
Making a Service Request
Workspace administrators use the Request Service page to request a schema, add storage space, terminate a workspace, or request another workspace.
Configuring Workspace Preferences
Configure workspace preferences for workspace login controls, access to App Builder and SQL Workshop, support for PL/SQL editing and RESTful services, and access to Team Development.
Defining a Workspace Message
Workspace administrators can quickly communicate with other users by creating workspace messages.
Managing Users in a Workspace
Create new user accounts, manage existing user accounts, and change user passwords.
Purging the Developer Activity and Click Count Log Files
Manually purge developer logs and the External Count Clicks log on the Log files page. Log entries older then one month are automatically deleted.
Managing Session State for a Workspace
A session establishes persistence (or stateful behavior) across page views. Workspace administrators can view session details for the current session or for recent sessions, purge the current session state, or purge sessions based on their age.
Managing User Preferences
Developers can use preferences to store values for a specific Application Express user across distinct sessions. Once set, these preferences can be removed programmatically or manually. Administrators can set user preferences by creating a page process, by the calculation of a preference Item Source Value, or programmatically by using a PL/SQL API.
Managing Page and Region Caching
Improve an application's performance by taking advantage of page and region caching.
Changing Build Status for Multiple Applications
Configure the Build Status attribute at the workspace-level tp prevent an application from being modified by other developerl.
Viewing Workspace Dashboards
Use the Dashboard page to view details about the current workspace and monitor overall workspace activity.
Leveraging App Builder Defaults
App Builder Defaults enable developers to reduce the number of steps needed to create a new application.
