Flows for APEX 24.1 is here!

-

Flows for APEX 24.1 is now available for download at https://flowsforapex.org. Minimum requirements for installation are Oracle DB 19c+ and Oracle APEX 22.1+. For a quick start, I suggest to install it in a free workspace on https://apex.oracle.com (will take only a few minutes to install).

Be aware that only the English language is installed by default. For other language versions, please go to Shared Components > Application Translations > Publish Translated Applications. Here you can select and publish the required languages.

The Community Edition of Flows for APEX 24.1 has some great new features for you to check out:

  • New User Tasktyp "Simple Form"
  • New App "Simple Process Starter"
  • Updated Sample App "Expense Claims"
  • Support for storing JSON in a process variable
  • Coloring of BPMN elements

If you are new to BPMN 2.0, I recommend looking at the preinstalled tutorials in the Flows for APEX app.

For those of you seeking even more features, we now also have an Enterprise Edition in store for you with:

  • Support for iterations and loops
  • Improved process collaboration and messaging
  • Generative AI support

The Enterprise Edition includes also professional support. For more information, please contact richard@flowquest.net.

Getting up to speed with Oracle Application Express (APEX)

Want to start developing web applications with Oracle Application Express? Make sure you don't reinvent the wheel and adapt good practises from industry experts right from the start. Here are some tips for beginners: 1. If you don't already have Oracle APEX installed, don't install it yourself, but get a free workspace within minutes on apex.oracle.com  to be used for demo purposes. To learn about Oracle APEX in the Oracle Cloud, you can use the always free tier on cloud.oracle.com/free with two databases up to 20 GB database storage each without any cost. For production purposes, we recommend that you pay 112 €/month (as of 16-APR-2024) for the Oracle APEX Service on the Oracle Cloud. 2. Start making your first apps using one of the Oracle APEX tutorials: Hyand (German):  apex.mt-itsolutions.com/development  (includes good practises!) Oracle (English):  apex.oracle.com/en/learn/tutorials  ( here is a good overview of these) 3.  Take note of some the shortcuts

Common misperceptions around Oracle APEX

In the last years, I spoke with many in the IT industry about low-code and there seem to be several misperceptions around Oracle APEX, so I thought it is time to address these in this blog post. Here we go: 1. "APEX is only for Oracle customers" Existing Oracle Database customers can install APEX right-away without paying anything extra, have the infrastructure and licensing already set up, have the personnel to manage it all and store their data already in the Oracle Database. So, yes, APEX is very attractive for existing Oracle Database customers. Does that mean it is limited to this scenario? No. There are multiple reasons why you should start using APEX, although your company has no track record with Oracle: - Your data can reside outside the Oracle database. No matter if you are using PostgreSQL, MS SQL Server, SAP, Hubspot, MS Dynamics, Spotify, etc.: you can integrate it all without programming a single line of code! APEX is doing a great job and can handle even comple

Abstract Selection Process for APEX Connect

-
I noticed that there is almost nothing published on the internet about how an abstract selection process works. Being the program manager for DOAG APEX Connect, I would like to share some insights about how this process works for this conference. Please be aware that all I say here is only applicable to DOAG APEX Connect and the process might change in the future. Also, other DOAG conferences may handle this process a bit different. With APEX Connect 2019, we started our journey by opening Call for Papers. During this time, everybody was able to submit a paper through our website https://apex.doag.org. We encouraged everybody to read through our submission guidelines, as your abstract will be the basis for acceptance: https://apex.doag.org/en/news/details/eleven-steps-to-a-successful-submission-of-your-presentation-1/ We received a stunning 171(!) abstracts during Call for Papers, but only 53 regular sessions could fit in the program schedule. Even though we strive to give each pre
