7 Desupported Features

Desupported features are no longer available. If a desupported feature has to do with application metadata or APIs, then existing applications may not work as they did previously. Oracle recommends modifying the application to replace the feature.

• Desupported Query Builder
  
• Desupported User Interfaces Removed
  
• Desupported JET Date Picker Item Type Migrated
  
• DOM Object Desupported
  
• Legacy Bulk Utilities Desupported
  

7.1 Desupported Query Builder

SQL Workshop Query Builder is now desupported, and will be removed in a future release.

7.2 Desupported User Interfaces Removed

APEX previously defined multiple users interfaces for each application. This is no longer the case. This release cleans up desupported user interfaces, which impacts many APEX Dictionary Views:

• Obsolete views:
  • apex_workspace_ui_types
  • apex_appl_user_interfaces
• New view columns:
  • apex_applications.theme_style_by_user_pref
  • apex_applications.built_with_love
  • apex_applications.navigation_list
  • apex_applications.navigation_list_position
  • apex_applications.nav_bar_type
  • apex_applications.nav_bar_list
  • apex_applications.include_legacy_javascript
  • apex_applications.include_jquery_migrate
• Obsolete view columns:
  • apex_applications.ui_detection_css_urls
  • apex_appl_concatenated_files.user_interface_id
  • apex_application_pages.user_interface_id
  • apex_application_pages.page_transition
  • apex_application_pages.popup_transition
  • apex_application_themes.ui_type_id
  • apex_application_themes.ui_type_name
  • apex_application_themes.default_page_transition
  • apex_application_themes.default_popup_transition
  • apex_appl_plugins.supported_ui_types
  • apex_appl_plugin_std_attrs.supported_ui_types
  • apex_appl_plugin_attributes.supported_ui_types
• Removed Page Designer Properties:
  • Page Transition
  • Popup Transition
  • User Interface

Older applications created when APEX could have two User Interfaces now only use the active user interface. Inactive user interfaces are removed from the metadata.

7.3 Desupported JET Date Picker Item Type Migrated

The Date Picker (JET) item type is now removed. Existing page items and interactive grid columns are automatically migrated to the new Date Picker item type introduced in APEX 22.2.

This impacts any JavaScript customizations made for the JET Date Picker component.

7.4 DOM Object Desupported

The DOM Object Dynamic Action selector type is desupported. Any page that uses this type for an action now throws an exception in the browser console, and the action does not execute.

Use the JavaScript Expression type instead of DOM Object.

7.5 Legacy Bulk Utilities Desupported

The Grid Edit tools are now desupported. This includes grid edit tools available in:

• Cross Page Utilities
• Region Utilities
• Button Utilities
• Item Utilities
• Computation Utilities
• Validation Utilities
• Process Utilities
• Dynamic Action Utilities
• Branch Utilities

You can edit items individually through Page Designer, or view them in bulk through the appropriate Utility area.
