Hello, Apex experts,
To me, the 2 most sought-after features of Apex 23.1 is (1) push notificatins (2) execution chain. I put them in testing in OCI right away… but,
(1) push notification doesn't work in OCI at this moment https://forums.oracle.com/ords/apexds/post/ora-24247-with-apex-pwa-send-push-notification-8045
(2) execution chain, all documentations and office-hour demos say it can be used in background and foreground.
But in the page designer, “serialize executions” only appears after you turn on “execute in background”
Here is my use case: I have a botton users can click to change password, when clicked, a modal dialog pops up to verify existing password and ask new password, then users click “change” button, if suceessful, the success msg will say “password changed!”, ideally, after success, I want the msg “password changed!” to stay for 2-3 seconds (to let users see), then close the modal dialog.
So 3 processes (1) changePassword (2) APEX_UTIL.PAUSE(3); (3) Close dialog ==> must be in that order.
If I don't switch the “execute in background” on then I assume the the chain will be running in foreground, but when run, it closes the modal dialog window right now (so it proves that they are not executed one by one - not serialized).
If I switch “execute in background” on and then “serialize executions” on, it does nothing, because my modal page is on the client side (foreground?)…
We can't have execution chain to serialize execution in foregound? If not, all Apex 23.1 documentations and release notes and claims by Apex Office Hours must be changed.
Please help. Thank you very much!
