Changing Build Status for Multiple Applications

Every Oracle Application Express 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 of an application as follows:

• Developers and administrators can change the Build Status attribute on the Edit Definition page. See "Availability" in Oracle Application Express Application Builder User's Guide.

• Workspace administrators can change the Build Status of applications within the current workspace as described in this section.

• Oracle Application Express administrators can change the Build Status of an application on the Build Status page. See "Changing Application Build Status Set During Deployment".

To change the Build Status of applications within the current workspace:

1. Navigate to the Workspace home page.

2. Click Manage Services on the Administration list.

   The Manage Services page appears.

3. Under Workspace, click Manage Application Build Status.

4. From Build Status, select one of the following:

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

   • Run Application Only - Developers can only run an application.

5. Click Apply Changes.
