Accessing Application Builder

An application is a collection of database-driven Web pages linked together using tabs, buttons, or hypertext links. The pages within an application share a common session state definition and authentication method. Application Builder is the tool you use to build the pages that comprise an application.

Note:

The Application Builder icon does not appear when you log in to the Database Home Page as user SYSTEM. It is expected that this user performs administration tasks only. To develop Application Express applications, log in as a user other than SYSTEM.

To access Application Builder:

Log in to the Database Home Page user interface.

The Database Home Page appears.
To view the Application Builder home page you can either:
- Click the Application Builder icon to link to the Application Builder home page.
- Click the down arrow on the right side of the Application Builder icon to view a drop down menu. Then select the appropriate menu option.
