Managing Applications

Changing Application Build Status

Every Oracle HTML DB application has an application-level attribute called Build Status. You can use this attribute to prevent an application from being modified by other developers. Build Status has two settings:

• Run and Build Application - Developers can both run and edit an application

• Run Application Only - Developers can only run an application

Setting the Build Status to Run Application Only is an effective way to prevent other developers from modifying it. You can change the Build Status by:

• Changing the Build Status attribute on the Edit Application Attributes page. See "Availability".

• Changing the Build Status during the deployment process. See "How to Deploy an Application to Another Oracle HTML DB Instance".

Deploying an application from one Oracle HTML DB instance to another is a four step process:

1. Move any supporting database objects (if appropriate).

2. Export the application definition and all related files

3. Import the exported files into the target Oracle HTML DB instance.

   Note that if the target instance is a different schema, you also need to export and import any required database objects.

4. Install the exported files from Export Repository

During steps 1 and 2, you have the option of setting the Build Status to Run Application Only. Be aware that if you set the Build Status to Run Application Only during deployment, you can only change it in Oracle HTML DB Administration Services.

To change a Build Status set during deployment:

1. Log in to Oracle HTML DB Administration Services. See "Logging in to Oracle HTML DB Administration Services".

2. Click Manage Applications.

3. Select Build Status.

   The Build Status page appears.

4. Locate an application by making selections from the Build Status, Workspace, and Application lists and clicking Go.

5. Click the Edit icon adjacent to the appropriate application.

   The Edit Build Status page appears.

6. Select an alternate build status and click Apply Changes.
