Oracle Apex - calling a process from a dynamic action

I am attempting to call an APEX process from a dynamic action. i was able to do that via Execute Javascript code action, by using 

apex.submit({request:'PROCESS NAME HERE'})

But I was wondering if there is a better way to do that, such as an APEX action

First to say (just to be clear) what you've written in your code as 'PROCESS NAME HERE' is not a process name (as those words might suggest) but a request value, as can be seen from your code.

You can do the very same thing using built-in APEX action:

  1. Choose Submit Page as your Action
  2. Enter your request value (aka the string you clouded with 'PROCESS NAME HERE') under the Request / Button Name field
  3. Under the process you want executed set Server-side Condition as follows:
    • Type: Request = Value
    • Value: your request value (aka the string you clouded with 'PROCESS NAME HERE')
  4. If you have other processes on your page as well that you don't want during this page submit, then you must do some of the following:
    • set their Server-side Condition to exclude that request (this is the easiest way if that process doesn't have any Server-side Condition defined yet): Type: Request != Value , Value: your process value
    • add that process value to excluding list for that process (either add it to the Value while using Request is NOT contained in Value type or change your Request != Value type into Request is NOT contained in Value if you've been excluding only one request before this)

I hope that helped and answered your question.
