Compare different versions of APEX applications.

niels.de.bruijn Public · Aug 2 2012

It is difficult for a customer to identify the changes in different versions of the same APEX application: what page has changed, which object on a page, etc.

Just like "Advisor", there should be a tool available in APEX that can identify the changes between two applications.

This has been delivered in Oracle APEX 22.1!

    Mandatory feature for highly complex applications - especially due to APEX omits supporting functions for version control systems

  • fac586 OP 12.9 years ago

    This is already available: Home > Application Builder > Cross Application Reports > Application Comparison

    (Why do "customers" need to know this? Don't you provide them with a list of new features and fixed bugs rather than requiring them to go rooting around comparing apps?)

  • bine OP 12.9 years ago

    The current comparison is not very helpful. It shows false positives and false negatives.
    I still use a diff tool on the export files which shows much more information.
    It would be great to have this much information in a readable format inside APEX!

  • stew.stryker OP 12.7 years ago

    Application Comparison doesn't support comparing between versions in the import repository, which is what I think the original requester wants. For it to work, the apps need different names/ids.

  • joseph.rodriguez OP 3.9 years ago

    It is very necessary control versioning.. Other oracle tools already got an integration with SVN, by example ODI.. : so i don't understand why apex does not have real integration for control versioning

    Rigth now, merge is not that urgent… , just this posibility to track source versioning

  • gabriel.diaz.arias OP 3.7 years ago

    This can already be achieved through git repositories and comparing exported components / files of apex aplications.

  • niels.de.bruijn OP 3.7 years ago

    A QA person often needs to be able to quickly compare 2 app versions in a readable format: who did which changes to which components and when? This is needed to ensure that only verified changes are staged to production but is also helpful when debugging a problem in a specific application version.

    It's weird that there isn't some built in functionality for this. Or at the very least a a simple way to check previous X changes regardless of when they happened.

  • patrick wolf Admin OP 2.8 years ago

    Application diffing can be done with the new “Readable Application Export in JSON or YAML Formats” which has been added in APEX 22.1.
