Change Image Prefix at the Application Level

Question

Hi All,
I have an APEX installation and the image prefix has been set as /j/. I have changed this to /i/ using the reset_image_prefix.sql script.
This however does not update the Image Prefix field in the Applications Definition (the entry still appears as /j/).
Is there a way to change this using a SQL script?
Will the following achieve the same result:
update APEX_030200.APEX_APPLICATIONS
set IMAGE_PREFIX='/i/'
where IMAGE_PREFIX='/j/';
Thanks,
Riz

Hi Riz,
there exists a nice API for that purpose. You have to either login as parsing schema or privileged user to perform such action. To be sure, I'd set the workspace id to your environment first, so I guess the following block should be doing exactly what you want:
DECLARE
  v_ws_sgid NUMBER := APEX_UTIL.FIND_SECURITY_GROUP_ID('<WORKSPACE_NAME>');
  v_app_id NUMBER := <APP_ID>;
  v_prefix VARCHAR2(256) := '/i/';
BEGIN
  WWV_FLOW_API.set_security_group_id(v_ws_sgid);
  WWV_FLOW_API.set_image_prefix ( p_flow_id => v_app_id,
                                  p_image_prefix => v_prefix);
COMMIT;
END;
/You can edit (almost) any part of the application defintion with that API.
