This section covers how to install, migrate, and deinstall a Flows for APEX instance.

Minimal System Requirements

Flows for APEX v25.1 minimal requirements are:

  • Oracle database: 19c or higher
    • For RDBMS 19.3 to 19.10, you must either upgrade to a more current patch release 19.11 or later, or download and apply patch.31843028 from Oracle Support. This fix is included in 19.11.0.0.210420DBRU onwards.
  • Oracle APEX: 24.1 or higher

Environment: Flows for APEX will run on any APEX environment, including OCI and on-premise systems (including Always Free OCI tenancies and Oracle Database 23c Free Developer Release on a laptop).

oracleapex.com. You can create a test environment on oracleapex.com (and its Oracle-internal equivalent, apex.oraclecorp.com) but with some restrictions due to the capacity constraints on that system:

  • Installation must be with the application import method ( there is no SQL*Net access).
  • From v25.1 application import is now English language only due to import size restrictions.
  • Timer polling frequency cannot be set lower than 1 minute.
