APEX Instance Admin Preferences Cheat Sheet

APEX comes with an API - APEX_INSTANCE_ADMIN - where you can both get and set instance preferences. There is a list of available properties on the documentation, however I found that not all preferences were documented there. For example, in Feature Configuration, there are some preferences surrounding packaged applications:
















Looking at the documentation, https://docs.oracle.com/cd/E59726_01/doc.50/e39149/apex_instance.htm#CHDFEICJ, you may find it difficult locating these.

Then, there other properties in there that I don't think are relevant any more (..but not an expert on the subject, so may be wrong). Lets take the example of PASSWORD_HISTORY_DAYS - this states "Defines the maximum number of days a developer or administrator account password may be used before the account expires. The default value is 45 days.". We can locate the property it's talking about under Security - Authentication Control - Development Environment Settings.





If we attempt to query this property name, you will find nothing is returned.

Digging into this, it looks to me this relates to the parameter ACCOUNT_LIFETIME_DAYS.

So anyway, with all this said, here is what I've come up with a table mapping each field to a parameter name - some on the docs, others not.
