Flows for APEX 25.1 is out!

-

Flows for APEX 25.1 is now available for download at https://flowsforapex.org!

Minimum requirements for installation are Oracle DB 19c+ and Oracle APEX 24.1+. For a quick start, I suggest to install flowsforapex_apex241_en.sql in a free workspace on https://apex.oracle.com (will take only a few minutes to install).

The Community Edition of Flows for APEX 25.1 is packed with new features, check them out here: https://flowsforapex.org/Flows4APEX251Features/

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 also have an Enterprise Edition in store for you with:

- Process Rewind

- Support for iterations and loops

- Improved process collaboration and messaging

- Generative AI chat support for devs

The Enterprise Edition includes also professional support. For more information, see https://flowquest.net. 

Details on how to migrate from an existing installation can be found here: https://flowsforapex.org/latest/migration/

Don't forget to subscribe our newsletter at https://flowsforapex.org, so we can inform you about future updates.

Any issues? Feel free to open one up at: https://github.com/flowsforapex/apex-flowsforapex/issues

We would love to hear from you what you are doing with Flows for APEX in your production environment, so please drop me a note. You can find my contact details below.

Getting up to speed with Oracle Application Express (Oracle APEX)

Want to start developing web applications with Oracle Application Express (Oracle APEX)? 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 115 €/month (as of 20-JAN-2025) 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.hyand.com/development  (includes good practises!) Oracle (English):  apex.oracle.com/en/learn/tutorials  ( here is a good overview of these) 3.  Take note ...

My favorite new features in APEX 24.2 at a glance

Oracle APEX 24.2 is out! Here are some of the major features in APEX 24.2 that I think are a great productivity booster for APEX developers. JSON Sources With storing JSON in a CLOB or BLOB column, you get some flexibility in your data model. Before 24.2, you couldn't let your APEX chart, form or report interact with the JSON structure without custom coding. With 24.2, this is now possible using JSON Sources. There is no need anymore to deal with JSON yourself using SQL, just let APEX do the heavy lifting. For those of you using 23ai of the Oracle Database, it works even with JSON Collection Tables and Duality Views! APEX Workflow enhancements Major features here include the possibility to call a workflow from with another workflow. This will let you re-use smaller workflow definitions. Also, a workflow administrator can now resume a workflow at any given activity in case of an unforeseen situation. Great must have features! For those of you that need to be BPMN-compliant, you migh...

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...
