Upgrade APEX

You don’t depend on any changes to this project to upgrade APEX. As soon as an update is available, you can follow these steps to upgrade APEX in your local environment.

Versions >= 26.2: use the upgrade script

Starting with version 26.2, this project ships a scripts/upgrade-apex.sh script that automates downloading the latest APEX, running the installer, copying the images, and reapplying the INTERNAL workspace settings (extended session timeout, ACLs, etc.).

./scripts/upgrade-apex.sh

Versions < 26.2: manual upgrade

Download and unzip latest APEX version

wget https://download.oracle.com/otn_software/apex/apex-latest.zip
unzip apex-latest.zip
rm apex-latest.zip
rm -rf ./META-INF || true

Perform the upgrade

cd apex
sql -name local-23ai-sys @apexins.sql TBS_APEX TBS_APEX TEMP /i/
exit;

(If you are still on 23ai use SYSAUX instead)

cd apex
sql -name local-23ai-sys @apexins.sql SYSAUX SYSAUX TEMP /i/
exit;

Update the images

cd ..
rm -rf ./apex-images || true
cp -r ./apex/images ./apex-images
