API to set Version No

fmignault Public · Jun 18 2015

We use the Version No in the application properties to keep track of the application versions. Sometimes we change only database packages or objects but we would like to increment the version No of the APP to show that a MTP has been done.

We would like to have an API in APEX_UTIL to be able to update the Version No in the application.

This way, we will also be able to script the update of the version no in our install scripts.

This has been delivered in Oracle APEX 23.1!

    really good feature, when you can update version information without changing the application itself

  • doug.gault OP 10.2 years ago

    Agreed. For those of us that create and distribute "commercial" applications it would be nice to have the ability to set the REV# based on updates.

  • alexnuijten OP 10.2 years ago

    Indeed, a really good suggestion.

    This would aid in a little bit of version control. This is very adequate in Software development .I believe it would add value running it during install scripting.

  • jorge rimblas OP 10.2 years ago

    Absolutely

  • koen.lostrie OP 10.2 years ago

    very useful feature

  • dave.waghorn OP 7.2 years ago

    Nice-to-have but not essential

  • jayson hanes Admin OP 4.1 years ago

    anything similar to this would be a win!

    +1 from me as well. Current work around is I use %RELEASE_VERSION% in the Version field and my build script replaces that string with a proper version number in the fxyz.sql export file.

    It would be very useful if version property allowed substitutions or mixing text with properties. We have applications with version to YYYY.MM.DD but if we try to use 

    ‘Last modification: ’ || YYYY.MM.DD

    it doesn't work at all

    We have an application item called G_APP_VERSION and then application process which retrieves it from a database table/column and then in the Version field in application properties we have: &G_APP_VERSION.
