Additional info
It appears that we have 2 tables with the same name for the websheet objects example below
APEX_APPS is the schema owner. Could this be causing my problem?
OWNER OBJECT_TYPE OBJECT_NAME
APEX_APPS TABLE APEX$_ACL
APEX_040000 TABLE APEX$_ACL
APEX_APPS TABLE APEX$_WS_FILES
APEX_040000 TABLE APEX$_WS_FILES

Hi Wayne!
How i understand websheet objects validating procedure compare structure tables in original scheme apex_040000 and scheme owner.
So what we can see:
desc apex_040000.apex$_acl;
Имя Пусто? Тип
ID NOT NULL NUMBER
WS_APP_ID NOT NULL NUMBER
USERNAME NOT NULL VARCHAR2(255)
PRIV NOT NULL VARCHAR2(1)
CREATED_ON NOT NULL DATE
CREATED_BY NOT NULL VARCHAR2(255)
UPDATED_ON DATE
UPDATED_BY VARCHAR2(255)
desc apex_apps.apex$_acl;
Имя Пусто? Тип
ID NOT NULL NUMBER
WS_APP_ID NOT NULL NUMBER
USERNAME NOT NULL VARCHAR2(255 CHAR)
PRIV NOT NULL VARCHAR2(1 CHAR)
CREATED_ON NOT NULL DATE
CREATED_BY NOT NULL VARCHAR2(255 CHAR)
UPDATED_ON DATE
UPDATED_BY VARCHAR2(255 CHAR)
Username in original apex scheme VARCHAR2(255) and in the owner scheme VARCHAR2(255 CHAR).
Next,
show parameter NLS_LENGTH_SEMANTICS
NAME TYPE
VALUE
nls_length_semantics string
CHAR
How i understand problem with nls_lenght_semantics parameter....
Some workaround solutions:
1) Manual modify table columns such as:
alter apex_apps.apex$_acl modify username varchar2(255 byte);
alter apex_apps.apex$_acl modify PRIV VARCHAR2(1 byte);
After that run validate websheet again and you will see that the columns of the table were correct and you can create websheet applications.
2) ALTER SYSTEM set NLS_LENGTH_SEMANTICS = BYTE scope spfile; (I'm not sure that this is a good solution)
Restart Database, Remove Websheet database objects and create again.
Best regards, Igor.
