Does anyone know where / why APEX uses the CLIENT_IDENTIFIER internally?

I am trying to share a global CONTEXT, but I can only get to this via sys_context(...), if I change the CLIENT_IDENTIFIER or clear it with: dbms_session.clear_identifier() from within APEX;
The CLIENT_IDENTIFIER is set by APEX for every DISPLAY-SUBMIT cycle to "<APEX_USER>:<SESSION_ID>"
I can change it, but I assume there is some purpose behind it. Does anyone know, and do I run a risk when clearing it in my code? ... causing problems elsewhere
Many thanks,
- Thomas

Hi,
Apex sets the CLIENT_INDENTIFIER so that it is available in the V$SESSION dynamic view and you know which Apex user/session the database session is processing. Apex also sets the ACTION and MODULE so you know which Apex application and page the database session is processing.
