Specifying a Provisioning Mode

As an Oracle Application Express administrator, you determine how the process of provisioning (or creating) a workspace works for your Oracle Application Express development instance.

In manual provision mode, an Oracle Application Express administrator creates new workspaces and notifies the Workspace administrator of the login information. In request provision mode, users request workspaces directly in a self-service fashion. In this scenario, users use a link on the login page to access a request form. After the workspace request has been granted, users are automatically e-mailed the appropriate login information.

To specify a provisioning mode:

Log in to Oracle Application Express Administration Services. See "Logging in to Oracle Application Express Administration Services".
Click Manage Service.
Click Manage Environment Settings.
Under Self Service, select a provisioning status:
- Manual - Oracle Application Express administrator manually creates new workspaces and notifies the Workspace administrator of the login information.
- Request - Users request workspaces directly in a self-service fashion.
If you select Request in the previous step, enter a URL in Development Service URL (optional).

The value you enter is used in the e-mail when the request is approved. This setting defines the URL for the service. If this setting is not present, the URL is derived from your environment.
Click Apply Changes.

Note:

To enable users to request a workspace using a link on the login page, an Oracle Application Express administrator must choose the provisioning status of Request as described in the previous procedure. If the provisioning status is set to Manual, no link appears on the login page.
