select default_tablespace, temporary_tablespace from dba_users where username = 'APEX_040200';

APEX                                                     TEMP

The script we need to run to do the installation – apexins.sql – takes three parameters :
  • The default tabelspace of the APEX owner schema
  • The default tablespace of FLOWS_FILES schema
  • A temporary tablespace in the database
  • A virtual directory for APEX images.

We already know that the default tablespace for the APEX owner is APEX
We also know that the temporary tablespace is called TEMP
As for the FLOWS_FILES schema…

select default_tablespace from dba_users where username = 'FLOWS_FILES';
DEFAULT_TABLESPACE
------------------------------
SYSAUX

cd /media/mnt01/app/oracle/product/11.2.0/db_1/apex5.0/apex
@apexins.sql APEX SYSAUX TEMP /i/
@apxchpwd.sql


@apxldimg.sql /media/mnt01/app/oracle/product/11.2.0/db_1/apex5.0
