Hi,

I am trying to create and send URL from apex.oracle.com but seems there is some problem in the created URL,

SELECT apex_mail.get_instance_url || APEX_UTIL.PREPARE_URL(p_url => 'f?p=' || v('APP_ID') || ':13:'|| v('APP_PAGE_ID') ||'::NO::P13_ID:1') into v_PAGE_URL FROM DUAL;


  apex_mail.send (

    p_to         => '[email protected]',

    p_template_static_id => 'JOB_REQUISITION',

    p_placeholders    => '{' ||

    '  "ORDER_NUMBER":'      || apex_json.stringify( 'l_business_ref' ) ||

    '  ,"CUSTOMER_NAME":'      || apex_json.stringify( 'some_value' ) ||

    '  ,"MY_APPLICATION_LINK":'   || apex_json.stringify(v_PAGE_URL) ||

    '  ,"ORDER_URL":'        || apex_json.stringify( 'some_value' ) ||

    '}' );

No idea why pls/apex//pls/apex is duplicated in the output URL? APEX version is 21.2 and it is apex.oracle.com

    Can you check what [apex_mail.get_instance_url] will return, if the returned URL is having pls/apex then you can remove it from:

    Manage Instance \ Instance Settings \ Email \ Application Express Instance URL

    Hi,

    I was looking for such options but was unable to find them in apex.oracle.com as seems instance settings can't be accessed or maybe I am missing the navigation. thanks

    This could very well be a bug with friendly URLs.

    apex_mail.get_instance_url returns https://apex.oracle.com/pls/apex/

    APEX_PAGE.GET_URL or APEX_UTIL.PREPARE_URL as non-friendly URL returns f?p=...

    So, if you combine these two, it works as expected.

    Hi,
I tried all these options but these both are prefixing /pls/apex which is causing problem. I tried 
SELECT APEX_PAGE.GET_URL (
            p_page   => 1,
            p_items  => 'P1_X,P1_Y',
            p_values => 'somevalue,othervalue' ) f_url_1,
         APEX_UTIL.PREPARE_URL('f?p=&APP_ID.:1:&APP_SESSION.::::P1_X,P1_Y:somevalue,othervalue')
     FROM DUAL

    When I am trying following in SQL using SQL Commands then URL is correct but same code when I am trying in APEX form using processes or pl_sql having the problem,


    SELECT apex_mail.get_instance_url || APEX_PAGE.GET_URL (p_page  => 13, p_items => 'P13_ID',p_values => 1 ) 

    FROM DUAL;


    I need to send this URL in email so the user will click to open the form. Any suggestions please to get resolved on apex.oracle.com.

    If you cannot access the internal admin console you cannot do it, [APEX_PAGE.GET_URL, and APEX_UTIL.PREPARE_URL] will always return the full path.

    For your case you can add <a href=""> in your email body and the href source will be something like:

    SELECT APEX_MAIL.GET_INSTANCE_URL || 'f?p=' || V('APP_ID') || ':13:' || V('APP_PAGE_ID') ||
       '::NO::P13_ID:1'
FROM   DUAL;
