I have several applications in an Oracle APEX 19.2 workspace that use shared authentication. In order to access enduser metadata, I want to use an application item defined as global in the master application. It seems to be configered correctly: In a slave application, I can see the correct session value in the debugger windows (Session State, View: Application Items).
But the usual replacement syntaxes do not work: I can not access the value with any of those methods:
:VARIABLE
&VARIABLE.
apex_util.get_session_state('variable')
The only method that is working is apex_util.fetch_app_item('variable',[application id]) - this is cumbersome, as I would like to work with application aliases and I would need to translate the alias using the view apex_applications.
Is this working as intended or did I do something wrong?
Have you created the same application item in the slave application as well? You will also have to set it to Scope = Global. This will expose the value in the current application.
