# apex-source-control
Introducing file-based version-control for Oracle Application Express apps!
* Designed to be used by teams who want to bring their experience in version-control and APEX development together.
* Any version-control tool can be used, not just git.
* Designed to be used by teams who want to bring their experience in version-control and APEX development together
* Any version-control tool can be used, not just git
* Tested on Linux and OSX (Windows not supported)
## Getting Started
@ -11,6 +11,7 @@ Prerequisites:
* An `export APEX_HOME` with `$APEX_HOME/utilities/oracle/apex/*.class` being the location of the above mentioned files
* An installation of [Oracle Instant Client](http://www.oracle.com/technetwork/database/features/instant-client/index-100365.html)
* An `export ORACLE_HOME` with an existing `$ORACLE_HOME/jdbc/lib/jdbc6.jar`
* `sqlplus` on path
## Installation
#### Method 1: Setting up from another APEX app
@ -126,11 +127,12 @@ Currently not an availible command, may be added in the future.
##### npm run new-conf-file
Creates a new config file using user input. NOTE: As of right now you must run 'npm run switch-conf-file' command to change to the new config file after creating a new one
##### npm run switch-conf-file
Switches which config file is being used
Switches the symlink to the config file of user's choice
##### npm run read-conf-file
Outputs the name and contents of the config file currently being used
##### npm run generate-app-id
Logs into your database and automatically generates and unused app-id in order to avoid accidentaly overwritting someone else's app.
Can only be run if your config file is set up with proper database login info (apexappid, parsing_schema & workspace_name not needed).
Note: As of right now the app-id will not automatically be written to your config file (TODO) so you must manually input the number the program gives you.
This script also needs your database login info (in order to check app-ids and whatnot) so your config file must be set up before it can be run.

###Config File Explained
May later add this section explaining each of the config parameters
##Config File Explained
Config files are placed in a top level config/ directory.
Each developer has their own config file with their app data which is then refrenced by a symlink named apexupdate.conf (TODO change symlink name).
Config files should never be put under version control (unless you want to share connection data for some reason).
##### apexappid
The unique application id # of your APEX app in Oracle.
Used to tell APEX which application to export.
The application id does not have to already exist in APEX in order to be installed by `npm run file-to-apex` but must not conflict with an app id in a different workspace.
It can be the same as a pre-existing APEX app in the same workspace, but be careful about overwriting work that isn't your own.
##### workspace_name
Name of the workspace where the app is installed or is to be installed to.
The workspace should already exist before usage
##### database_connection
The database_connection info in [JDBC](http://www.orafaq.com/wiki/JDBC) format, i.e. Hostname:Port/SID. Example: `myhost:1521/orcl`.
Used in connect statements such as `sqlplus $username/$password@$database_connection`
##### username
Username of database login
##### password
Password of database login
