Importing Application

Question

I have installed ApEx 2.2 in two different environments...both environments seem to function OK, except during import. One works successfully, the other throws an error:
ORA-20001: GET_BLOCK Error. ORA-20001: Execution of the statement was unsuccessful. ORA-02291: integrity constraint (FLOWS_020200.WWV_FLOWS_FK) violated - parent key not found <pre>begin wwv_flow_api.create_flow( p_id =>117, p_display_id=>117, p_owner => 'ISSUE_TRACKER', p_name => 'Issue Tracker', p_alias => '117', p_page_view_logging => 'YES', p_default_page_template=> 7312213389563912 + wwv_flow_api.g_id_offset, p_pr
Doesn't matter what application I try to import, this happens.
Environment: ApEx 2.2
Database: 10.1.0.4.2
Any help greatly appreciated! If I have not posted enough information, please let me know.
Thanks, Mike

Mike,
Are you importing from sqlplus? My guess is that the workspace ID is not the same on both of your apex instances. When creating an application the parent of the application is the workspace, hence it can not import your application because its parent (the workspace) does not exist.
If you import an application using the web UI apex should detect this situation and correct it so that you can import an application exported from one workspace into another workspace.
If you look at a line in your application export similar to the one below; this command sets your workspace.
wwv_flow_api.set_security_group_id(p_security_group_id=>7738017401767455);
Ideally you would like both of your apex instances to have the same workspace ID (aka security group id), you can do this by exporting and importing the workspace from the one that works to the instance that does not. If your workspace has the same primary key, then your application should import into both instances.
Hope this helps.
