APEX “Application Process” Bookmarklet

If you’re an APEX developer and doing a lot of AJAX work, you probably spend a lot of time clicking between pages and the “Application Process” section of APEX.   In APEX 3.1 and 3.2 it takes 2 clicks on links that are on very different parts of the page.  Unless you do this a lot, you probably think I’m crazy for complaining about this, but if you are doing a lot of AJAX development, it’s enough to drive you insane.  I even kept a separate browser (Safari) open just for App Processes.

Solution:  I wrote a super simple bookmarklet that reduces this to one click.  Since WordPress.com is blocking my ability to post a link with JavaScript code in it, you’ll have to manually create a new bookmark on your web browsers bookmark toolbar using the following for the URL:

javascript:location.href="f?p=4000:4207:"+$v('pInstance')

Now, once you’ve logged into the APEX builder that bookmark will take you straight to the Application Process section using the same APEX session.
