Halloween can be a scary time -- especially if you Oops your APEX application. Of course you can't travel back in time but through the miracle of flashback, you may be able to get the APEX appl. back to where it was when. I tried these approaches and was successful with them.
*** This assumes flashback is running on the APEX schema(?). Your abiliy to go back a given number of minutes (or hours?) will depend on whether the saved values still exist in the database. ***
A) If you modify a page and want to go back to what you had, say, about 30 minutes ago.
1) Under the Utilities button (on that page), select History.
2) Determine how far back in time you want to go by examining the list of editing changes displayed.
3) Do a page export of that page (also under Utilities) and fill in “As of __ minutes ago”.
4) If you don’t want to lose what you've got on the “damaged” page, copy it to another page number for now.
5) Import the exported page file.
6) Check if you got back what you wanted.
7) If not, try an earlier (or later) time and have another go at it.
B) If you deleted the wrong page in the application!
1) Assuming the last thing you did was this deletion, export the entire application filling in “As of __ minutes ago”.
2) Just to be careful, import the file to a different unused application number. Don't overwrite someone else's application.
3) Copy the deleted page from the new application back to where you need it.
4) Clean up by deleting the unneeded application.
C) If, "Doh," you deleted the wrong application!!!!
1) Are you able to retire? If no, then proceed!
2) Create a minimal application (with a single page) with the same number as the one deleted.
3) Export the application filling in “As of __ minutes ago” with an appropriate number of minutes.
4) The export file should contain the code you need to restore.
5) You can inspect it with an editor.
Look about line 25 for" Pages: <number>".
For specific pages look for "page_000nn".
5) Import the file to the same appl. number. You should get everything back!
YMMV: Your mileage may vary!
I'll take my leave with the words of that immortal song:
"Yes. Oops, Oops, Oopsie! Good Bye. But Oops, Oops, Oopsie. Don't Cry."
