installed.
3.1 Recommended Pre-installation Tasks

Before installing Oracle Application Express, Oracle recommends that you complete the following
steps:
1. Review and satisfy all Oracle Application Express installation requirements. See "Oracle
Application Express Installation Requirements".
2. Shut down with normal or immediate priority the Oracle Database instances where you plan to
install Oracle Application Express. On Oracle Real Application Clusters (Oracle RAC) systems,
shut down all instances on each node.
An alternative to shutting down the database is to prevent all users from accessing Oracle
Application Express when upgrading your installation from a previous release of Oracle
Application Express. Oracle only recommends this option in high availability production
environments where planned outages are not available. For all other scenarios, the database
should be shut down.
To disable access to Oracle Application Express when the existing installation is using the
Application Express Listener, shut down the appropriate application server where the Application
Express listener is deployed.
To disable user access to Oracle Application Express when the existing installation is using the
Oracle HTTP Server with mod_plsql, you should either shut down the Web server or disable the
Application Express Database Access Descriptor of the Web server.
For an existing installation using the embedded PL/SQL gateway, you should disable the Oracle
XML DB Protocol Server by setting the HTTP port to 0. This can be accomplished by starting
SQL*Plus, connecting as SYS to the database where Oracle Application Express is installed, and
running:
EXEC DBMS_XDB.SETHTTPPORT(0);
Hide Navigation Once you have prevented access from Oracle Application Express users, you should log into
SQL*Plus as SYS, connecting to the database where Oracle Application Express is installed, and
query V$SESSION to ensure there are no long running sessions which would interfere with the
This Book Entire Library upgrade process.
