APEX is invalid after upgrading to 12.2 – ORA-20001

Posted on February 11, 2020 by Mike.Dietrich APEX Flaws and Pitfalls 0

We are running the AutoUpgrade-for-RAC beta test since last week. And the first issue one customer encountered … is neither an AutoUpgrade nor a RAC issue. It has to do with APEX and SPATIAL, and missing grants. APEX is invalid after upgrading to 12.2 – ORA-20001

Posted on July 27, 2017 by Mike.Dietrich APEX Removal 17

Oracle APEX (Application Express) clean up in Oracle Database 11.2-12.2 is fairly simple and straight forward. With the upgrade to Oracle Database 12.2.0.1 Oracle APEX does not get upgraded automatically anymore. If necessary you should upgrade Oracle APEX upfront of afterwards.

See MOS Note:1344948.1: Application Express (APEX) Database and Web Server Certification Reference:

For APEX 4.0, the minimum database version is 10.2.0.3

When you plan to upgrade Oracle Application Express (APEX) from version 5.1.0 to 5.1.1 please be aware to download a patch from MOS instead the 5.1.1 version from OTN.

The text on the OTN page is a bit misleading – and a customer I work with downloaded the wrong version which led to a failed upgrade – even though the scripts seem to be made for this patch upgrade.

Even though the page says “This is a cumulative patch set for Application Express 5.1.0” the page offers you a full install and not …

Why you should remove APEX from the CDB$ROOT

Upgrade Blog posts about Oracle Application Express:

Oracle APEX (Application Express) is great piece of software. But it gets installed by default into the container database’s CDB$ROOT unless you’d customized your CDB creation via scripts in Oracle 12.1.0.2. See:

Create Container Databases (CDB) with less options – it’s now supported in Oracle 12.1.0.2

on how to customize a Single/Multitenant Database with less options.

But that is not the topic I …
