Update: thanks Christian for pointing out that I mistook this – it’s not CLIENT_INFO that I was using, but CLIENT_IDENTIFIER – and that behaviour hasn’t changed.
I’ve just gotten around to reading the Patch Set Notes for Apex 4.2.3, and noticed this bit:
8.5 Changes in How Oracle Application Express Populates CLIENT_INFO in V$SESSION and GV$SESSION
The Oracle Application Express 4.2.2.00.11 patch set changes how Application Express populates the CLIENT_INFO value in V$SESSION and GV$SESSION. The new information in this field is workspace ID, followed by colon (:), followed by the authenticated username.Tip: You may have to adapt database instance monitoring scripts which interpret CLIENT_INFO and expect the previous content for Oracle Application Express sessions (username ‘:’ workspace id).
I have no idea why the patch set notes talk about “workspace id” here, since as far as I can tell, Apex actually puts the session ID there. I haven’t tested this in 4.2.3 yet though. Anyone care to verify this for me?
