ORACLE intermedia/text

Question

I'm trying to sync index
When in SQL*Plus I can type:
exec ctx_ddl.sync_index(<index name>);
But when I try to do this from APEX application by creating new PL/SQL process (afred submit)-> I'm not allowed
I treats ctx_ddl as variable and says not declared...?
I've tried also
exec immediate 'ALTER INDEX <index> REBUILD [online] parameters (''sync'')'
First online was not enabled so I removed it, and it was processed, but index was no rebuild???
Any ideas how this can be done??
Thanks

I'm able to create a PL/SQL procedure, but when I try to run it from APEX it does not work.
If I'm correct it says anonymus PL/SQL block
On page definiton i create new process
-> PL/SQL
--> on submit aftrer computetions an validations/Type      PL/SQL anonymous block
--> Then your script
--> afrer clicking next error message is:
ORA-06550: line 5, column 1: PLS-00103: Encountered the symbol "/" when expecting one of the following: begin case declare end exception exit for goto if loop mod null pragma raise return select update while with << close current delete fetch lock insert open rollback savepoint set sql execute commit forall merge pipe The symbol "/" was ignored.
