Accessing the Hosted Demo Environment

Previous

Next

If you want to try out Application Express without installing the product locally, navigate to the hosted demo environment and sign up for a workspace.

To access the hosted demo environment:

1. In a Web browser, go to:

   http://apex.oracle.com

2. Under the Login button, click Sign up for an account.

   The Registration wizard appears. Note the steps included in the wizard appear in a flowchart on the left of the page. The highlighted block indicates the step you are performing.

3. On the Welcome page, review the information and click Next.

4. For Identify Administrator, enter valid information and click Next.

   The system will generate an email with your login credentials and send it to the email address you enter.

5. For Workspace, enter a name for your workspace.

   Workspace names must be unique. Requesting a duplicate name might delay your request; so for this tutorial, use a name that is likely to be unique. In general, you want to enter a name that is significant to you. For example, you might enter your own name, your company name, or the name of the project or department your applications pertain to.

   Also, you might want to use the same name for your schema (in the next step) and your workspace. If so, use only letters when naming your workspace because schema names are restricted to letters.

6. For New or Existing Schema, select Request a new schema and click Next.

7. For Database Schema, do the following:

   1. New schema to create - Enter a name containing only letters.

   2. Initial Space Allocation - Select at least 10 MB to accommodate the space needed for creating the objects required for this guide.

   3. Click Next.

8. For Service Description, enter the requested information and click Next.

9. For Confirmation:

   1. Enter the displayed numbers and letters in the Verification Code. Be sure to use the correct capitalization since the verification code is case sensitive.

   2. Review the information and click Submit Request.

You will receive an initial email containing a link. Click the link to complete the workspace provisioning process. This step verifies your email address is a valid one before approving a workspace. After that, you will receive an email with your login credentials. Use those credentials to log in to the hosted demo environment and begin using Application Express.
