I was struggling to find a fix for the problem. Only now I recognized it was a bug in Oracle APEX Version 4.2.3.00.08. The scenario: 1. I have two regions with Interactive & Classical Report 2. When a value is modified in select item in page, I need to refresh these reports. (Used dynamic action to refresh regions on page item change) 3. I used jQuery tabs for the reports ( instructions on how to created it is here ) 4. I modified the Template of the reports to "No Template" 5. The region refresh stopped working. I was assuming that the refresh did not work because of jQuery tabs. But later I realized that the "No Template" caused the bug. To fix this you may either create a new Template or use a region which has a template. I have used the "Borderless Region (no heading)" and the dynamic refresh works. Not sure about this being fixed in later versions of Apex.

Step 5: If you are running a Windows OS which supports Disk Management > Extend Volume then the guest OS will recognize the size of extended hard disk. Step 6: Remove the original vmdk file if everything is fine. Steps and commands: The commands which I used are as follows: Step 1: Convert vmdk to vdi VBoxManage clonehd "WinVistaDev-disk2.vmdk" "cloned.vdi" --format vdi Step 2: Resize vdi file: VBoxManage modifyhd "cloned.vdi" --...
