Core Pack components, available under the Early Access category in the Components palette since 24.04, now require an opt-in if you want to use them in your application's pages. If you use these Core Pack components in your app, take note that Core Pack does not support theming at this time. The only way to theme your app is to roll back Core Pack usages in your app to Legacy components and re-implement your application.

If you don't ever plan to theme your app, you can choose to enable Core Pack components in the Components palette for use in your app's pages. See Opt In to JET Core Pack Components.

With this update, the ability to create a custom type that defines a list of enumeration values is deprecated. Instead you can create a variable, then use the Subtype option in the variable's Design Time tab to define your enumerated list. See Create Variables.

• Actions within custom code

  You can now drop an action between single line and block statements in custom code, functionality that can improve productivity. Additionally, you can also take advantage of code completion in a Code action's Properties pane. See Add a Code Action.

• Shorthand syntax for variables, constants, functions in current scope

  When you create a new JavaScript action chain or add actions to an existing chain, the underlying code now uses shorthand syntax, by default, to retrieve the value of variables, constants, and functions defined in the current scope. So for a page, where previously the syntax was $page.variables.myvar or $page.functions.myfunc, you'll now see $variables.myvar or $functions.myfunc instead in your action chain.

• Duplicate option in JS action chains

  You can now duplicate an action, or a code block within an If, Switch, or Run in Parallel action. See Create Action Chains in Design Mode as well as Add an If Action, Add a Switch Action, and Add a Run In Parallel Action.

Many-to-many relationships continue to use the existing editor, now without the ability to change cardinality. A new + Many to Many Relationship option is also added to a business object diagram's context menu.

• Application Name field renamed

  The Application ID specified when you create or duplicate an application is now Application Name. Also, what used to be Application Name is now Application Display Name. With this change, the app's display name, name, and ID are displayed on the Settings editor, so you can pick the correct value when building REST URLs for cURL commands. See Create a New Visual Application, Create a Copy of an Application, and Manage Visual Application Settings.

• New Select Variable icon in the Properties pane

  The Select Variable icon in the Properties pane has been changed to better represent the variable picker. You'd now click (instead of previously) to select a variable.

• Listener shortcut on the Events editor

  You can now use a shortcut to create a listener when you're working with custom events in the Events editor, instead of switching to the Events Listener editor. Simply select the new Create Event Listener option in an event's right-click menu to create a new event listener in the same scope as the event. See Create Event Listeners for Events.

With support for a dark theme, favicons can now be set independently for light and dark themes for each of your applications. You can set the favicon to any image in the image gallery by simply changing the favicon in the application's Settings editor. See Manage App Settings.

• Fragments as sections for dynamic containers

  It's now possible to add fragments as sections in a dynamic container. By default, all fragments tagged as pageContent become available for selection when you add a section to a dynamic container. You also have the option of indicating a particular fragment as preferred content for all sections in the container. See Add Fragments as Sections in a Dynamic Container.

• InstanceFactory types for fragments

  Types from code, known as InstanceFactory types, can now be defined in fragments, making these types accessible to fragments. As with all fragment artifacts, these types are local to the fragment. See Create a Type From Code.

• New properties for fragment slots

  The Fragment Slot component now provides several new properties to help you configure a named slot, including a Preferred Content option that indicates the type of content the slot can contain. See Add Slots to a Fragment.

• Drag and drop for fragment slots

  Fragment consumers can now drag and drop their component of choice onto a fragment slot in the fragment's Properties pane, in addition to the Insert Component option. See Add Slots to a Fragment.

• Improvements on customizing fragment variable display in the Properties pane

  • If your fragment variable uses an array of primitives (for example, string[]), you can now edit the fragment's JSON to display a drop-down menu showing all values for each item in the array. See Subtypes and valueOptions for arrays in Customize How a Fragment Variable is Displayed in the Properties Pane.

  • When an object-type input parameter in a fragment is customized to display an endpoint picker, fragment users can use the Configure Endpoint quick start to select a suitable endpoint and choose its URI parameters. See Customize How a Fragment Variable is Displayed in the Properties Pane.

  • When sectioning fragment properties, you can now use a Label field to provide a user-friendly name for the fragment variable. This is particularly useful for dynamic components with data that might take a while to display in the Page Designer. See Section Fragment Properties for Display in the Properties Pane.

• Navigator badge to indicate audit error

  Audit errors are now badged in the Navigator to indicate that action must be taken to resolve the issue. The badge persists until the error is fixed or until the session ends.

• New Copy to Clipboard option

  A new Copy to Clipboard option in the right-click menu allows you to copy one or all audit issues to your clipboard for further processing.

See Audit Application Code.

• Core Pack in Components palette

  The next generation of Oracle JET components, known as Core Pack components, are now available in the Components palette as part of the Early Access category. These components, written entirely using the VComponent API and the JET Virtual DOM architecture, are available as a completely new set of components, so you can use Core Pack and legacy components side by side in your application. Core Pack components provide improved rendering performance over legacy components. See Add Components to Pages.

• Page input parameters from parent flows

  When input parameters for a page are defined beyond its current scope (say, at the app or flow level), those parameters are now listed in the Page Input Parameters dialog, allowing you to readily pass the input parameter from parent flows and pages. See Enable Variables as Input Parameters.

• Live/Design toggle change

  To switch between Live and Design modes using the Ctrl key (Cmd on Mac), the cursor must now be on the canvas. This way, the mode won't switch when the canvas is not in focus. Releasing the key to switch the toggle back works anywhere. See Use the Page Designer.

• Event editor updates to improve developer productivity

  We've reworked how new action chains are generated when you create a listener for an event. Previously, you would use several clicks to create a new action chain at the desired scope with a particular name in the Create Event Listener wizard. Now you simply click the Create {scope} Action Chain option to generate an action chain with a name in the format {event/varId}ChangeListener. See Create Event Listeners for Events.

• New behavior type for custom events

  The transform behavior type for custom events is deprecated and replaced by the new tranformPayload behavior type for new event listeners. The change does not impact existing apps with events configured to use the transform type, but the new tranformPayload type addresses issues with invoking event listeners in the correct order. You are, therefore, encouraged to switch to the new behavior type for your existing apps. See Choose How Custom Events Call Event Listeners.

• Actions tab renamed

  The Actions tab is now the Action Chains tab.

• New options for local functions

  You can now convert a local function to an action chain so it can be used by other action chains. Simply right-click the local function and select the new Convert Function to Chain option. It's also possible to create a local function from an action on the canvas. Just drag an action on the canvas onto the Create Function button, or onto the green line that appears before or after a local function. See Design Editor.

• Summary button to simplify action chain view

  You can now visually simplify your view of an action chain by hovering over the canvas's upper-left corner and clicking the Summary button. The Summary button hides the input parameter details of each action (except for the Assign Variable and Reset Variables actions). Click the Full button to switch back to the complete view. See Design Editor.

• Simplified display for action parameters

  We've simplified and enhanced how parameters display in different actions. Parameters displayed in actions such as Open URL, Call REST, and Fire Data Provider Event are now grouped. Also, the Store Result In variable has been added to the header to make it more readable.

• Changes to the Assign Variable action

  • The Assign Variable action can now be used to create a local variable, by adding the action and using the Properties pane to define it.

  • Consecutive Assign Variable actions are now consolidated into a single action.

  See Add an Assign Variable Action.

• Support to drag and drop an action into an else branch

  You can now drag and drop an action into an else branch on the canvas.

• UI changes for business objects based on your own schema

  When working with business objects that use your own schema, you'll notice some UI changes, primarily when adding or editing a business object's fields. See Create a Business Object Based on a DB Table or View and Add Fields to a Business Object Based on a DB Table or View.

• Improved error handling for business object diagrams

  When business objects and their relationships don't display on the Diagram canvas because of syntax errors, the editor now displays an error message and allows you to edit the JSON source file (diagram.json) to fix the error.

Oracle Cloud Infrastructure Process Automation, a service that quickly automates business approval workflows, can now be integrated in Visual Builder. To leverage this functionality in your application, create an OCI Process Automation backend, then create service connections for the REST APIs you want to use. See Connect to Oracle Cloud Infrastructure Process Automation APIs.

You can now create action chains in JavaScript. JS action chains allow you to debug them using the browser's developer tools; they are also easier to manage through Git actions. A Design view that reflects code structure helps you build functionality by dragging and dropping actions; you can also choose to work entirely in Code view.

With this update, all new action chains (including those created by Quick Starts) will default to JavaScript—though you can still create JSON action chains. Existing JSON action chains will continue to work as before.

See Work with JavaScript Action Chains.

Mobile apps have been deprecated in favor of Progressive Web Apps (PWAs)—although mobile functionality won't be entirely removed from the product until July 2024. Starting with 23.10, you can no longer create a new mobile app, but you can import an existing mobile app and deploy it as a PWA for use on mobile devices.

Functionality relating to hybrid mobile applications (deprecated since April 2021) has also been removed from the product. This means that the use of build configurations to build native .ipa and .apk files for distribution to iOS and Android devices—as well as the Cordova custom plug-in option—are no longer available. You can no longer create new hybrid mobile apps or new build profiles for existing apps; build configurations for existing apps will be ignored. For apps that target mobile devices, enabling PWA support is the recommended approach for distribution. See Run Mobile Applications as PWAs.

You can continue to use your existing mobile apps until July 2024 when mobile apps (including PWA-enabled ones) reach End of Life (EOL). To be able to use your mobile PWAs beyond July 2024, we strongly urge you to transition your mobile app as a web app and deploy it as a PWA.

• Variable tracking to detect unsaved changes

  You can now track a variable's state to detect unsaved changes in your app. Tracking a variable marks it as "dirty" any time its value changes. You can then query for dirty variables using a new JavaScript-based Get Dirty Data Status action. If you don't want a change to be considered dirty, you can reset variable state using the Reset Dirty Data Status action (also based on JavaScript). See Track Variables to Detect Unsaved Changes.

• Filter for input parameters

  A new Show Input Parameters only option on the Variables editor now allows you to filter variables used as input parameters. See Enable Variables as Input Parameters.

• Slots in fragments

  A new Fragment Slot component, available in the Components palette, now allows you to add slots to a fragment where users can drop in their own content. A fragment with slots, when used on a page, reveals its slots on the canvas, the page structure, and as part of the fragment's properties. Fragment slots are similar to component slots and users work with them in much the same way. See Add Slots to a Fragment.

• Autowiring of fragment variables

  To simplify the process of creating pages with fragments, we've added a new property for fragment variables enabled as input parameters to be automatically created on the page where the fragment is used and wired back to the fragment variable's value. See Automatically Create and Wire a Fragment Variable on Its Container.

• Design Time support to display an enhanced UI for fragment input parameters

  A new Design Time tab in a fragment variable or constant's Properties pane now allows you to customize the UI component shown in the Properties pane when the fragment is selected on a page or container. Previously, you had to do this by editing the JSON metadata. See Customize How a Fragment Variable is Displayed in the Properties Pane.

• Support to display fragment input parameters in sections

  You can now group a fragment's input parameters and dynamic components by sections using a new Design Time editor that appears in the fragment's toolbar. Use this option to display a fragment's most important properties in the Properties pane when the fragment is selected on a page or container. See Section Fragment Properties for Display in the Properties Pane.

  If the fragment is used as a page template to create a page, the sectioned view also shows on the page's Properties pane and the Structure view, with the fragment considered the root element instead of the page. See Create Pages From Fragments.

• Backends mandatory for new service connections

  If you're looking to create a new service connection by providing a specification document or an endpoint URL, you now need an existing backend to be able to create the service connection. If a backend doesn't exist, you'll be prompted to create one as part of the Create Service Connection workflow.

  With this update, all new service connections will require a backend. Making backends mandatory simplifies the task of managing server connection attributes, especially credentials, across environments. Service connections created previously without a backend will continue to work and their configuration settings can be changed as well.

• Default service name change

  New service connections no longer include a default name. You can now specify your own service name for easier identification. See Create a Service Connection from the Catalog, Create a Service Connection from a Service Specification, and Create a Service Connection from an Endpoint.

• Multiple undo and redo options in the Designer

  When working in the Designer, you can now undo and redo multiple actions at one shot; previously, you could undo and redo only your most recent change. See Tour the Designer.

• Audit improvements

  As a part of performance improvements to enhance application auditing, a new Opened Artifacts setting only audits artifacts that are currently open. To audit the entire application, change this setting to All Artifacts.

  Further, results in the Audits pane now show in a tree view, instead of a column view. With this change, issues are grouped by artifact, helping you view all issues in a particular artifact. See Audit Application Code.

SAP S/4HANA Cloud Adapter - Version 2302 support.

SAP S/4HANA Cloud Adapter is certified to work with Version 2302.

See the Connectivity Certification Matrix.

23.2.2

JDK 17 support

The connectivity agent has been certified to support JDK version 17. Oracle recommends that you upgrade to version 17. Using the connectivity agent, you can create hybrid integrations and exchange messages between applications in private or on-premises networks and Oracle Integration.

Note: JDK 17 is the mandatory version required for upgrading the agent from Oracle Integration Generation 2 to Oracle Integration 3. This requirement is part of the upgrade pre-check tests.

See System Requirements in Using Integrations in Oracle Integration Generation 2.

23.2.2

Oracle WebLogic JMS Adapter - Filter out weighted distributed queues 

The Oracle WebLogic JMS Adapter doesn't support weighted distributed queues. Oracle Integration filters out weighted distributed queues in order to ensure successful agent connectivity with the on-premises JMS WebLogic cluster. Oracle recommends that you use uniform distributed queues instead of weighted distributed queues.

See Oracle WebLogic JMS Adapter Restrictions in Using the Oracle WebLogic JMS Adapter with Oracle Integration Generation 2.

23.1.2

SAP ASE (Sybase) Adapter - Pagination support for invoke connections

SAP ASE (Sybase) Adapter invoke connections now provide support for pagination. Pagination enables you to fetch a large number of results in the SAP ASE (Sybase) database. Pagination helps you to segregate the total number of results.

See SAP ASE (Sybase) Adapter Capabilities in Using the SAP ASE (Sybase) Adapter with Oracle Integration Generation 2.

23.1.2

Oracle Intelligent Advisor Adapter - Decision services support

You can use the Intelligent Advisor decision service for outbound invokes from Oracle Integration.

Intelligent Advisor decision services can be called by the Oracle Intelligent Advisor Adapterr to make decisions and calculations. It processes data through a deployed set of rules and automatically describes the required inputs and the possible outputs using the contract defined for each project.

See Oracle Intelligent Advisor Adapter Capabilities in Using the Oracle Intelligent Advisor Adapter with Oracle Integration Generation 2.

23.1.2

Workday Adapter - OAuth three-legged integration flow support

The Workday Adapter supports OAuth three-legged integration flows.

See Workday Adapter Capabilities in Using the Workday Adapter with Oracle Integration Generation 2.

23.1.2

The Shopify Adapter is certified on API versions 22.07 and 22.10 of Shopify.

See the Connectivity Certification Matrix.

23.1.2

You can activate up to 700 integrations per instance. When the limit is exceeded, you are prevented from activating additional integrations.

See Activate an Integration and View the Dashboard in Using Integrations in Oracle Integration Generation 2.

• Create pages with a fragment's content

  You can now create pages prepopulated with a fragment's content when the fragment is tagged with the page metadata that surfaces it as page-level content. This way, you create pages easily with initial content, both from the Create Page dialog as well as the app-level Flow Diagram. See Create Pages From Fragments and Add a Page in the Flow Diagram.

  Because this option essentially uses a fragment as a page template, it's also possible to change the page's content at the click of a new Select Page Template button. This option allows you to remove everything from the page, including associated files, but keep the same page name. See Change Page Templates.

• Write back changes in a variable's value to a fragment's parent container

  When a fragment variable is marked as an input parameter for a page variable, a new Write Back to Container property, available on a fragment variable's Properties pane, allows you to automatically write back changes in the fragment variable's value to the page variable used as an input parameter. This option provides a convenient and powerful alternative to raising custom events that emit to the parent container. See Automatically Write Back a Fragment Variable's Value to Its Container Variable.

• Customize a fragment variable's Properties pane

  You can now customize a fragment variable's Properties pane to suit the UI component that will be used to edit the variable in the Page Designer. Previously, the Properties pane always used text field components for editing the values of fragment variables. See Customize a Fragment Properties Pane.

• Suggest a fragment for particular components

  A new Implements setting now allows you to suggest a fragment as preferred content for particular components. For example, if you choose FoldoutPanelElement, users working with a foldout layout will see this fragment suggested as content that can be added as a foldout section. See Manage Fragment Settings.

  With this update, the listItem and foldoutPanel options are no longer available for the Used For setting.

• Create a fragment from the Components palette

  A small but nifty enhancement allows you to create a fragment directly from the Components Palette, by using the icon next to the Fragments category. See Create and Add a Fragment to a Page.

Deleted applications are moved to a Soft Deleted status and can be restored within 30 days if they've not been permanently deleted. See Restore a Deleted Application.

It's also possible to change the page's content at the click of a new Select Page Template button. This option allows you to remove everything from the page, including associated files, but keep the same page name. See Change Page Templates.

• Data type changes for fields

  You can now change the data type for business object fields—functionality that allows you to use a non-numeric field as the object's primary key field. Previously, you could change data types only when creating business objects from a file. See Change a Field's Data Type.

  This functionality is also supported for business objects that use your own schema, where creating a field based on a DB column always sets the field's data type to the column's default type. See Change a Data Type of a Field Based on a DB Column.

• Custom audit fields

  It's now possible to use your own fields to audit your business object's history. While this functionality is available for native business objects, it's most useful for business objects that use your own schema when you have existing DB columns that you want to use for auditing. See Set a Field for Auditing.

  It's also useful for business objects created from a file, when your data file has audit information that you can use to track the object's history, instead of the default audit fields. See Set Audit Fields for an Imported Business Object.

• New type viewer for service endpoints

  You can now use a new Type viewer to see the type structure for an Endpoint's request/response. This means that you no longer have to create a web app and use a query string or type from the Endpoints tab in the Page Designer to see the type structure. See Create a Service Connection from an Endpoint.

• Audit warning for IP-based service URLs

  An IP address audit warning is shown for service connections that use IP-based addresses in URLs, as a reminder to use DNS-based addresses instead. See Create a Service Connection from an Endpoint.

• View page initialization time

  A new icon in the Page Designer's canvas now displays a breakdown of how long different tasks (such as bootstrapping and loading a shell page) take to display the page. You can use this information to isolate runtime issues that may cause your app to load slowly.

• Improved tab bar

  We've redesigned the tab bar to always show the active tab, even when the window is resized. When you have multiple tabs open, you can use the mouse or keyboard to scroll through them—though moving the focus away will bring the active tab back into focus. You can also use a new icon to view a drop-down list of overflow tabs; from here, you can open a particular tab or close it.

• Components in Components palette categories expanded by default

  The default view for the Components palette is now changed to always show components in every category. This view is controlled by a new Expanded By Default option in the Components palette's options menu.

• Advanced category in Components palette

  For discoverability reasons, all JET components are now available in the Components palette, with those that don't have design-time properties showing under a new Advanced category. Components in the Advanced category typically require you to manually code different aspects of their functionality.

• Preferred category of components for use in slots

  When you use Insert Component in the Structure view to drop a component directly into a slot, a list of recommended components show up under a Preferred category. These components are recommended based on the type of component that can be used in the slot.

• Options to insert a component in code editors

  It's now possible to insert a component before, inside, or after an existing component from a code editor's right-click menu.

A new date-time operator is available for simple expressions: toTimezone. Use the toTimezone operator to return the date-time expressed in the time offset corresponding to the timezone ID provided.

See Date and Time Operators in Using Processes in Oracle Integration Generation 2.

• Role-based access for pages and flows

  It's now possible to control role-based access to your app at the flow and page level. Previously you had to modify JSON code to do this, but now you can define user roles in a new Security tab that appears for flow and page artifacts. See Restrict User Access to an Application, Flow, or Page.

• Changes for anonymous Access

  We've refactored the Security tab of an application's Settings editor, so how you enable anonymous access for your app has changed. To enable anonymous access, you'll need to deselect the new Require authentication access option, instead of the previous Allow anonymous access option. See Allow Anonymous Access.

• Changes to how business object relationships are represented

  We've changed how we represent related business objects by displaying the accessor that connects objects. You'll notice this accessor as a column under Relationships in the Overview tab, as a separate field in the Fields tab, as well as in a field's Properties pane both in the Fields tab and in the Diagram view. See Edit Business Object Fields and Create a Business Object Relationship.

  As a part of this update, we've introduced new Type icons: for object accessors and for collection accessors. In addition, all reference fields now use instead of ; the Type icons for Email, URI, Phone, and Percentage are no longer used.

• New Source tab

  A business object's editor now includes a Source tab, where you can view JSON metadata that describes the object. See About Working with Business Objects.

• Refresh cached schema option

  When you use your own database schema, the details of tables and views available for use are fetched initially and cached. You now have a refresh option to pull in updates when the schema (or tables and views within in) is updated without having to reload your browser. See Create a Business Object Based on a DB Table or View.

• Usages view

  A new Usages property in a fragment's Properties pane tells you where the fragment is consumed and allows you to readily navigate to the page, if needed.

• Edit icon on canvas to go to fragment

  A new fragment Edit icon on the page canvas allows you to go directly to a fragment from the canvas. The Go to fragment link is still available on the fragment's Properties pane.

• Used For and Icon settings in Properties pane

  Settings that let you surface a fragment in the right context (Used For) and add custom icons (Icon) are now available in a fragment's Properties pane as well as its Settings editor.

For visual apps, see Create and Add a Fragment to a Page.

• Sortable virtual field for dynamic tables

  You can now select which of the fields in a virtual field should be used for sorting when the virtual field is displayed in a dynamic table. See Create a Virtual Field.

• Support for field templates in dynamic tables

  You can now use field templates to render fields in dynamic tables.

• VDOM variants for dynamic components

  New variants of dynamic components based on JET’s Virtual DOM (VDOM) architecture are now available in the Components palette. Except for the dynamic table, these components are marked as oj-dyn and are preferred over the older oj-dynamic variants for applications starting with 22.10. VDOM is a new development path that uses the Preact library for building web components with JET. See VDOM architecture in JET documentation.

• Input parameters in Events tab for a component

  We've simplified how you pass component values to an action chain by enabling you to create input parameters right in the Events tab of the component's Properties pane. See Start an Action Chain From a Component.

• Visual indicator for missing required input parameters

  When a page requires an input parameter to load data but a value isn't assigned to it, you'll now see a visual indicator of the missing input parameter. See Enable Variables as Input Parameters.

• Component palette changes

  We've reordered categories in the Components palette and collapsed them by default. To control this setting, use the new Expand All and Collapse All options in the palette menu. See The Components Palette.

SOAP connector

We'll no longer support the use of SOAP connectors. Instead, use REST connectors for integrating with other applications. See Create a REST Connector in Using Processes in Oracle Integration Generation 2.

Alternatively, you can configure SOAP endpoints in an integration and use the integration in a process application.

We'll no longer support the import of Business Objects from XML schema. Instead, you can import business objects based on JSON schema. See Import a Business Object from JSON in Using Processes in Oracle Integration Generation 2.

If you have integrations based on SOAP and XML, consider updating them to use REST that supports JSON.

We'll no longer support the upload of new XML schema files. Instead, you can use JSON schema for your business needs.

If you have integrations based on SOAP and XML, consider updating them to use REST that supports JSON.

We are going to deprecate List View in Decisions, and you won't be able to create decision models in List view. Instead, create decision models in Graph view as Graph view is more user friendly and helps you to visually represent your decision models with decision requirement diagrams (DRD). See Graph View in Using Processes in Oracle Integration Generation 2.

You'll no longer be able to create and use micro processes in process applications. Instead, you can communicate between processes using service calls with REST connectors.

We'll no longer support OSN for conversations while integrating with Oracle Content Management. Instead, you can facilitate real time collaborations between specific users and task assignees by tagging them from comments in tasks. See How do I send email notifications from a comment?

You'll no longer be able to create custom dashboards using BICS. Instead, you can analyze process data and create dashboards with Insight and Oracle Analytics Cloud.

For example, you can create new records in QuickBooks for the modules such as Account, Bill, Customer, Payment, Invoice, and so on.

See QuickBooks Adapter Capabilities in Using the QuickBooks Adapter with Oracle Integration Generation 2.

Notes: This increase may lead to additional memory consumption in Oracle Integration. To ensure stability, it is recommended that the percentage of large payloads coming into Oracle Integration should not increase the number of total messages by more than 3%.

You can also use this view to create pages and actions chains when you want to build workflows from scratch, just by dragging pages and actions from the Components palette and dropping them into the diagram. A subset of built-in actions (as well as custom actions) are available in the Components palette for you to use in your workflow. See Add Pages and Action Chains to a Flow in Diagram View.

22.07

• Existing fragments in Components palette

  When adding an existing fragment to a page, you can now drag and drop the fragment directly from the Components palette onto the canvas, where previously you had to drop a fragment container before selecting the fragment. This way, a fragment container configured with the selected fragment is automatically created for you. As a part of this update, we've also changed the fragment's Structure view, so you'll see the fragment's name, rather than a generic fragment container, for easier identification. See Create and Add a Fragment to a Page.

• Fragment metadata

  To provide a richer experience when using fragments, we've introduced metadata settings that enable a developer to better describe their fragments. As a fragment developer, you use this metadata:

  • To surface a fragment in the right context and filter it out where it isn't suitable (for example, to tag a fragment as formTemplate and make it available only to users working with dynamic form templates). See Used For in Manage Fragment Settings.
  • To associate a fragment with icons that display anywhere the fragment is surfaced (for example, when the fragment appears in the Components palette in the Page Designer or the Layout editor). See Icon in Manage Fragment Settings.
  • To control how fragment parameters are to be used inside a fragment by providing the information that Visual Builder requires to suitably generate metadata and expressions when the fragment is used in a component. This information can be specified in the Binding Type property that appears anytime a variable or constant parameter in a fragment is marked as enabled or required. See details about Binding Type in Pass Data Between a Page and Its Fragment.

22.07

• Show Categories and Show Alphabetically options

  We've added two new options to give you more control over how components display in the Components palette. If you want to view a flat list of all components, you can choose to deselect the Show Categories option, enabled by default to show components in categories. If you keep the default, you can choose to view components in alphabetical order or a predefined order (as before). See The Components Palette.

• New category for existing fragments

  A new Fragments category in the Components palette now displays all existing fragments. To control which fragments show in the palette, you can change a fragment's Used For metadata in the Settings editor. By default, all fragments use the pageContent tag and show in the Components palette. See Manage Fragment Settings.

22.07

• Shading to highlight visible components in Structure view

  Sometimes, the Structure view might be overwhelmed with information, including components that are not visible on the page at the moment. We've now added shading to the Structure view to indicate which components on the page are currently visible; those not visible fade into the background to provide better context about what part of the page the Structure view represents.

  To further trim background information, you can select a new Show Visible Components Only option. This way, your view only displays nodes of components visible on the page.

• Show Empty slots is now Show Slots

  The Show Slots option (previously Show Empty Slots) now displays the location of empty as well as occupied slots. You can also right-click a slot and use a new Insert Component option to drop a component directly into a slot.

See The Structure View.

22.07

22.07

22.07

• App profiles to switch schemas for business objects based on existing DB tables and views

  When you use your own database schema, you can now associate application profiles with different phases of your application, to switch the schema that your app connects to during its lifecycle. For example, you might use a particular schema during the development phase, but switch to another one for testing or production. See Switch Schemas Used During an App's Lifecycle.

• Schema validation for business objects based on existing DB tables and views

  For business objects based on existing DB tables and views, we've added validation to make sure a field's metadata is compatible with the corresponding table/view column. If there's a discrepancy, you'll see validation messages around the UI component as well as in audits. See Create a Business Object Based on a DB Table or View.

• New performance metrics when tracing GET requests

  When you enable tracing for a business object's REST requests, you now have an indicator of the maximum response size for GET requests, a theoretical value that can help you determine whether you need to take steps to reduce the response size. See Enable Tracing to Monitor Endpoint Calls.

22.07

• Declarative support for Transforms

  Transforms has now moved from its own tab to an area in the Overview tab for backends, service connections, and some endpoints. With this update, transforms can be defined in the backend catalog and thus, inherited by services and endpoints. You can also override transforms at the service and endpoint level. See Add Transforms.

• Form Data and Binary payload support for Service endpoint testing

  You can do much more with the Endpoints Test tab under Services. POST, PATCH, and PUT REST APIs with application/octet-stream and multipart/form-data formats can be tested from the Service Connection Test tab. In addition, you can download binary data or save textual data in the response body. If the response body doesn't contain text, a message indicates that it contains binary data. See Test Service Connection Responses.

See Set the Default View for Process History in Using Processes in Oracle Integration Generation 2.

In the My Tasks page of Workspace, you can view the total task counts in user and shared filters.

See details in the note of Filter the Task List in Using Processes in Oracle Integration Generation 2.

Common elements for these web apps, such as the header, footer, and navigation items, are defined in fragments, enabling you to reuse each piece in the web app's root page as well as other pages. You can also customize these elements however you want to create your own look and feel. See Edit the App Header and Footer.

22.04

When customizing a Redwood-themed application, you can now use the Stable base theme to override only what you want to change, where previously you might have had to override all variables directly in the Redwood base theme. The Stable theme (introduced in JET 11.0.0) is meant to be as stable as possible; as a result, you can override the variables you want to change while inheriting all other updates to the Redwood theme. See Customize the Redwood Theme for a Web Application.

22.01

If you've always wanted to break up complex pages into parts that are easier to work with, fragments is for you. A fragment encapsulates a page's section in its own HTML, JSON, and JavaScript files, helping you share it across pages in an application. Besides reuse, it provides performance gains and makes for easier organization and code management. See Work With Fragments.

You can add standard as well as dynamic components (including dynamic containers) to your fragment. You can also create input parameters for a fragment right from the Properties pane of the fragment container on the page where the fragment is used. See Create a Fragment.

You can also create input parameters for a fragment right from the Properties pane of the fragment container on the page where the fragment is used. See Pass Data Between a Page and Its Fragment for a sample scenario.

22.04

Action chain tests, accessible through the Tests tab at the bottom of an application's window, now include some usability improvements. Instead of showing a full list of tests, this tab shows failed tests alone to highlight items that require you to take action. Test results are also cached across browser sessions now to improve performance. See Test Action Chains.

The tests also run in the background, even when you are not actively working on your application. If you are, only tests impacted by your changes (for example, if you added a new variable or changed an existing function) are scheduled to run again. This way, your test results stay up-to-date even as you develop your application, helping you detect bugs earlier and maintain your tests more easily. See Manage All Tests in a Visual Application.

22.04

We've made a bunch of updates to enhance UIs based on dynamic components. When you add a dynamic component (table, form, or container), you'll notice that the Dynamic UIs tab in the Navigator is now called Layouts. Other significant enhancements include:

• Dynamic components in Components palette by default

  Dynamic components, such as tables, forms, and containers, are now present by default in the Components palette. Previously, you had to install these components from your environment's Component Exchange before you could use them in your application. Now, dragging and dropping them from the Dynamic Components section of the Components palette onto the canvas automatically installs them to the application and brings up the Layouts tab in the navigator. See How to Create Layouts With Dynamic Components.

• Option to preview a dynamic component's layout

  When you define multiple layouts, you now have the option of selecting any layout in a dynamic component's Properties pane to preview the layout as it would appear on a page, even if those conditions are not met. You no longer need to run the page and ensure the conditions are met at runtime to check how the layout renders. See Preview Different Layouts.

• Enhancements for dynamic containers

  • We've improved how you edit sections (formerly templates) in dynamic containers. So you can now edit sections directly in the Page Designer, rather than in the Template editor. Because of this, you can see the component (including dynamic tables and forms) rendered on the page as you work with the container. See Add a Dynamic Container to a Page.

  • Container templates for dynamic containers

    Sections created by templates in a dynamic container, by default, stack vertically on top of each other. You can now use container templates to change this layout, for example, to show sections in a row. See Change a Dynamic Container's Layout.

• Condition builder changes

  The condition builder in the Rulesets editor now groups fields for selection under Fields, Responsive, User, and so on, making it easier for you to select from the drop-down list. We've also changed the list of user roles that show by default for Oracle Cloud Applications, so the drop-down lists the available Job and Abstract roles, but you'll need to manually enter Duty roles in the Value field. See Add Display Logic to Determine What's Displayed at Runtime.

• New User Assistance Density property

  The Properties pane for forms and fields in layouts contains a new property that allows you to set how a field's user assistance text (messages, help text, hints, and so on) are displayed in forms. See Set How User Assistance is Rendered in a Layout.

• BaseComponentContextType

  In addition to ComponentContextType parameters which let you augment a dynamic layout with values provided by your application, you can now define BaseComponentContexType parameters to define values at the service level. Much like component context parameters, base component context parameters become part of the $componentContext system variable and can be used anywhere in the dynamic layout (for example, in a layout's conditions and expressions). See Define Custom Contexts for Components in a Layout.

• Suggested and required fields

  We've made some updates to improve user experience when working with a dynamic layout's Fields palette. A new Suggested Fields section now emphasizes fields that might be important or relevant to include in the layout. Further, when you create a new layout within the Rule Sets editor, fields that are marked as required are automatically added to the layout. See Create a Layout for a Dynamic Table or Form.

• Converter and validator improvements

  Adding a validator or converter to a field in a dynamic layout now selects a default based on the field type. For example, if you were adding a converter to an ID field, the Number converter is selected for you by default because ID is a number field. To simplify configuration, only the most commonly used options are displayed for your selection.

  We've also added support for an expression validator to check whether a field's value matches a pattern defined by a regular expression and an expression converter that converts the field's value to a regular expression for evaluation.

  See Add Converters and Validators to Fields.

• Column sorting and sizing in dynamic tables

  When a field is added to a dynamic table, you can now use several properties to control sorting and sizing for the field's column. These properties are available in the Properties pane when you select a field in a dynamic table's layout. See Configure How Columns Render in a Dynamic Table's Layout.

22.04

• ES6 syntax for JavaScript in web apps

  For new JS files in web apps, we now generate the ECMAScript 6 (ES6) syntax with class declarations. Previously, this syntax was used only for JS files in mobile apps. ES6 syntax is supported wherever you generate declarative JS or directly author JS. For example, you can use ES6 syntax to build expressions for rule set conditions or variables.

• Code snippets for common JS structures

  We've also enhanced the JavaScript editor to offer code snippets for common JS structures, such as "for" loops and conditional statements. For example, typing in the JavaScript editor will show you options to select different "for" loop formats. Selecting one will populate the structure and allow easy navigation of the cursor to the relevant areas.

22.04

• Create business objects based on existing tables and views in an Oracle database

  If you use an external database like DBaaS or Autonomous Transaction Processing (ATP) with your Visual Builder instance, you can now use your own DB schema and create business objects based on existing tables and views. These business objects, in general, are the same as native business objects, but there are restrictions. See Switch to Your Own Schema for Business Objects.

• Database schemas used in different app phases

  You can now view the names of the database schemas associated with a particular phase of an app's lifecycle (Development, Stage, and Live). If you are using your own Oracle database, this information can help you access data using other tools for import or export, or access the tables for your own purposes. See View Database Schemas Used During an App's Lifecycle.

• Validation of a business object field's properties

  The Field Name of a Business Object's field is now underlined in red on the Fields tab to indicate errors that affect not only the Field Name property, but also any properties on that specific field. See Edit Business Object Fields.

• Mark your own ID column when importing business objects

  When you import spreadsheets and CSV files to create business objects, you can now use your own column as the primary key field, instead of the system-generated id field. This option is available only for non-blank data containing numeric fields. See Create Business Objects from a File.

• Specify encoding format for an imported file

  When creating business objects from a file, you can specify a variety of encoding formats for the imported file via a new Character Encoding field. If a value isn't specified or if the specified value is not valid, UTF-8 is used as the default. See Create Business Objects from a File.

22.04

• Roll back live app to last published version

  When you publish multiple versions of a live app, you can now roll back the current live version to the previous published version. See Roll Back Application to the Previously Published Version.

• Custom page for locked app

  When an application is locked for maintenance, Visual Builder displays a default "Application Locked" screen when someone tries to access the locked app. You now have the option of creating a custom page to display to your users, instead of the default. See Create a Custom Lock Page.

22.04

• Server authentication options renamed

  The server authentication type descriptions have been updated and two types were renamed:

  • "Propagate Current User Identity" is now called "Delegate Authentication "
  • "OAuth 2.0 Resource Owner" is now called "OAuth 2.0 Resource Owner Password Credentials"

  See Identity Propagation Authentication Mechanisms.

• Support for server variables in a server URL

  Server variables are now automatically created when you enter a valid URI template expression in a server URL. When your server URL is defined as, for example, https://restcountries.com/{version}/{lang}, we create the version and lang server variables for you. All your server variables are listed under a new Server Variables section in the Servers editor, where you can manage them to set a default value (required by the OpenAPI3 specification) or to add an enumerated list.

  A new Server Variables tab has also been added to the Test tab of the Endpoints editor, allowing you to set the server variable value when testing an endpoint.

• List of service connections for a backend

  Any service connections defined for a backend now display on the backend's Overview tab (below the + Service Connection button). Dynamic service connections are automatically shown. Static service connections are shown when the Load more related connections link is selected. See Manage Backends in Your Visual Application.

• New flow to replace endpoint definitions for static Integrations connections

  For static Integrations service connections, you can now use the Replace button in the Endpoints tab to replace all endpoint definitions without manually creating a new connection and deleting the old one. See Edit Service Endpoints for a Static Service Connection.

• Support for modifying service authentication and connection settings in the instance

  Administrators of a Visual Builder instance can now use the Services tab in the Tenant Settings page to configure authentication and connection settings for backend services available in the instance. An administrator can also edit connection details to override the settings inherited from child backend services. See Edit Authentication Settings for a Backend Service

22.04

22.04

• Data palette

  Where you might use components to design a page, you can now use data sources—via a brand new Data palette in the Page Designer—to design your page. Just as you'd drag and drop components from the Components palette, you drag and drop data sources (say, an Employee object's endpoints) and choose from a suggested list of components tailored to best display your data. See The Data Palette.

• Panel placement and breadcrumbs

  You can now reposition the Components, Data, Structure, and Properties panels within the Page Designer to customize the canvas for your convenience. With the introduction of the Data palette, the Structure view has been placed, by default, in the bottom left corner of the canvas, but you can change this up however you want.

  We've also added breadcrumbs in a separate bar at the bottom of the canvas to help you navigate a selected component's hierarchy. See The Page Designer Toolbar.

• New Insert Component option

  In addition to the standard drag-and-drop from the Components palette, you can now add components using an new Insert Component option. This option is available when you right-click on the canvas and in Structure view (where it's most useful to position a component in complex layouts). See The Structure View.

22.04

• Properties pane in the Diagram view

  We've added a Properties pane to an application's Diagram view, so you can view more details about an application's pages and sub-flows in a central location. See Use the Diagram View.

• Custom properties in Properties pane

  It's now possible to view, edit, or add custom properties for a component via its Properties pane, in the All tab. Custom properties are those not defined in component metadata, for example, data-* attributes, and can be added by clicking + next to General Attributes in the All tab.

• Slot value in Properties pane

  You can now change the slot used by a component inside a parent component's slot via the Properties pane, in the General and All tabs. You can change the slot value to move, for example, a button's icon from the startIcon slot to the endIcon slot. This way, you can modify the slots of dropped components without accessing the HTML code.

• Support for optional chaining operators

  When referring to optional object properties, you can now use optional chaining operators (?.) in JavaScript syntax without it being flagged by audits. These operators, supported in standalone .js files as well as in HTML/JSON file expressions, make it simpler to access the values of deeply nested properties and return an undefined value instead of an error when the reference or function doesn't exist. For example, [[ $page.variables.customerObj.address?.street3 ]] would return undefined if street3 does not exist in the address property. See Optional Chaining in developer documentation.

21.3.2

When you embed a progress tracker dashboard in another application, you can now customize the dashboard to hide selected milestones and to show all milestones that have not been passed (skipped), including Error and Terminal Error milestones, regardless of whether the business transaction is Completed or Active.

In the Integrations feature of Oracle Integration, you can now:

• Create a new Insight model from the Insight Designer. Previously, models could be created only in Insight, then selected in the Insight Designer.
• Map an integration action to a new milestone in one step by dragging the action to a new milestone area. Previously, you had to first create the new milestone, then drag the integration action to the milestone.

See Map Milestones to Integration Actions in Using Integration Insight in Oracle Integration Generation 2.

When constructing an embedded dashboard URL in the URL builder, you can use the new View icons in the URL builder to switch between the progress tracker and Business Transaction Details views. Previously, switching between these views required navigating to the respective dashboard and clicking the Embed Dashboard icon to open the URL builder for that dashboard.

See Construct a URL Using the URL Builder to Embed Insight Dashboards in Using Integration Insight in Oracle Integration Generation 2.

The following feature is being deprecated with this release:

• Embedded dashboards using custom web components in other applications.

Instead, you can embed dashboards using the other supported methods.

See AS2 Adapter Capabilities in Using the AS2 Adapter with Oracle Integration Generation 2 .

To help you build apps that scale from desktop to tablet to mobile, we've expanded our PWA capabilities to web apps, in addition to mobile apps. This option allows you to create responsive web apps that users can add to their mobile devices as mobile apps.

You can use the new PWA tab in a web app's Settings editor to enable PWA support for a web app. We also provide a default offline page that you can display to users when the PWA-enabled app isn't connected to the Internet. The default offline page is based on a responsive Redwood page template, but you can customize it to suit your requirements. See Configure Progressive Web App Support.

21.10.0

• Revamped page flow diagram

  The Page Flow tab, used to display an application's structure at the application and flow levels, has been revamped to use the Redwood design language. Now called Diagram, this view provides a hierarchical view of an application's flows and pages within a flow. It also allows you to view default pages, navigation flows, and more. See Use the Diagram View.

• Nested flows shows only when flows exist

  We've streamlined the Navigator view for a web or mobile app so that the nested flows node shows only when a flow is created. To create a new flow, you'll now need to click + next to the application node. To create a subflow, you click + next to an existing flow. See Create a Page Flow.

21.07.0

21.07.0

• Action chains in separate JSON files

  To optimize performance and reduce Git merge conflicts, we've moved an action chain's source from the artifact JSON to its own JSON file. While action chains created with version 21.10 will use separate JSON files by default, you have the option of migrating action chains created in earlier versions. See Create an Action Chain and Migrate an Action Chain.

• Deprecated actions

  We've deprecated two built-in actions: The takePhotoAction is deprecated for web apps while the transformChartDataAction is deprecated for both web and mobile apps.

  It's now possible to view actions that have been deprecated in a release by selecting the Show Deprecated menu option in the Actions palette. See Built-in Actions.

  Any action chains that use the previously deprecated navigateToPageAction action will be automatically migrated to the new navigateAction when you upgrade your app to version 21.10.

21.10.0

• Text Filter Attributes and Fetch by Offset for SDPs

  For Service Data Provider (SDP) type variables, you can now configure the Text Filter Attributes field when you want user-specified text to filter results shown in a list component like Select Single. See Filter Component Data by Text. This field was previously added to an Array Data Provider variable's properties.

  We've also added Fetch by Offset to the list of Fetch Capabilities to provide random access for endpoints that support querying using a specified offset.

• Sort Comparators for ADPs

  For Array Data Provider (ADP) type variables, you can configure the Sort Comparators field to specify your own comparators for sorting.

21.07.0

• New Groovy timeout override

  When you use Groovy code for business logic, you can now override the default Groovy timeout if you think your script's processing time will overrun the default duration. You can change this setting via the Timeout Override option when you use Groovy expressions to define formula fields, default values, and business rules. See Override the Default Timeout for Groovy Scripts.

• New Create options to add formulas and aggregate functions to fields

  You can now create aggregate and formula fields directly from a business object's Fields page. Previously you had to create a field, then edit it to add a formula or an aggregation function. See Add a Field for Aggregating Data and Add a Formula to a Field.

• Fields display in diagrams changed

  We've changed how fields display by default in business object diagrams. They now show by attribute names, rather than display labels, to match what you'll use in REST API calls or Groovy code. You can still view fields by their display labels by turning off the Show Field Names option. See Work with the Business Object Diagrammer.

• Tracing for endpoint monitoring

  You can now enable tracing for a business object's REST requests to diagnose performance bottlenecks and other issues in your application. See Enable Tracing to Monitor Endpoint Calls.

21.07.0

• New debug mode for preview

  You can now troubleshoot runtime issues with your application using a new Debug Preview option that uses the debug variants of the Visual Builder runtime and Oracle JET libraries. See Preview an App in Debug Mode.

• Changed default for Page Designer screen setting

  Fit to Canvas, the option that resizes the canvas to always take up all available space between the left and right panes in the Page Designer, is now the default screen option. See The Page Designer Toolbar.

Jet CCA components

Process UI snippets are now available as Oracle JET (JavaScript Extension Toolkit) composite components for embedding in self-service applications, services, or portals. Using these components, you can easily incorporate standalone Process UI modules into multiple JET-based applications.

See Use Process UI Composite Components (CCA) in Using Processes in Oracle Integration Generation 2. Also see this blog: Extend Process Automation UI Components to JET-Based Applications.

Insight models in structured processes

Bring real-time visibility and analytics into your process applications by linking to an activated Insight model in a structured process.

See Work with Integration Insight Models in Using Processes in Oracle Integration Generation 2.

Process design time enhancements

We've implemented the following design time enhancements:

• While specifying the security properties for an integration in the Advanced tab of the Edit the integration dialog, you can find a new option to use generic credentials instead of the default option to use the instance creator credentials. This mitigates integration failure due to untoward situations such as when an instance creator is removed from the system.

  See Edit Integrations in Using Processes in Oracle Integration Generation 2.

• A new function Get Geolocation that returns the current position of the user device is available to be used in forms.

  Find details about the Get Geolocation function in the function table of Specify Functions in Using Processes in Oracle Integration Generation 2.

• You now have the option to bypass the default fault policy settings while activating applications. You can select No Retries if you want to skip retrying failed task activities during runtime.

  See Activate Applications in Using Processes in Oracle Integration Generation 2.

UiPath Robotic Process Automation Adapter – Support for Orchestrator folders

The UiPath Robotic Process Automation Adapter has been enhanced to support the Folders feature of the UiPath Orchestrator. Using the adapter, you can now connect to a classic or modern folder in the UiPath Orchestrator, configure resources related to the folder, and execute the required processes.

See Configure Connection Properties and UiPath Robotic Process Automation Adapter Robot Configuration Page in Using the UiPath Robotic Process Automation Adapter with Oracle Integration Generation 2.

Embedded assistance in forms event editor

You can now view the functions help within the forms event editor.

You browse through a list of categories and functions. Each function displays a description, a list of arguments, a return type, and examples.

To view the functions help, select a control, and edit an event from the Properties pane.

Embedded dashboards in Visual Builder web applications

In the February 2021 release, we introduced the ability to embed customized views of Insight dashboards in other applications using custom web components, built using Oracle JET Composite Component Architecture (CCA). In this release, we are providing new Integration Insight custom web components for embedding dashboards in a Visual Builder web application.

See Embed Integration Insight Dashboards in a Visual Builder Application in Using Integration Insight in Oracle Integration Generation 2.

In prior releases, milestones, the unique instance identifier, and indicators were defined in Insight in the context of defining a model. Now, you can also define or change these model components in the Insight Designer in Integrations.

You can configure email notifications to alert recipients when a milestone is passed or not passed, or when an indicator is assigned a specific value.

See Alerts and Define Alerts in Using Integration Insight in Oracle Integration Generation 2.

An indicator (dimension or measure) can now be mapped to more than one milestone. This allows the value of the indicator to change during the progression of a business process. For example, the value of an indicator that extracts the price of an item can change when the item price is reduced.

See Indicators and Define Indicators in Using Integration Insight in Oracle Integration Generation 2.

• We've introduced a new Navigate action (navigateAction) that lets you navigate from a page to another page and also to another flow. With this update, the previously used navigateToPageAction, now labeled Navigate (Legacy) on the Actions palette, is deprecated. See Add a Navigate Action.
• It's now much easier to build your apps to scan barcodes and QR codes: simply drag and drop the new Scan Barcode action (barcodeAction) from the Actions palette to an action chain. The action accepts an image of a barcode or QR code and will return its value. See Add a Scan Barcode Action.
• For the Navigate Back action (navigateBackAction), a new Parameters field has been added to help you pass parameters to the previous page. See Add a Navigate Action.
• For the Call REST action, the Response Body Format field (which lets you override the standard REST behavior) now supports the formData option. See Add a Call REST Endpoint Action and Call REST Endpoint Action.
• The action chain editor now has a new toolbar, which lets you search your action chain, especially when it includes hundreds of actions. You can enter any search text—variable name, endpoint ID, action ID—to find what you're looking for. An Overview icon also provides a visual view of your action chain, with the nodes that match your search text highlighted. Both features work together to help you quickly search and navigate your action chain. See Create an Action Chain.
• Similar to variable and type usages, you can now view an action chain's usage information in the Properties pane. Look under Usages to see (for example) which pages use the action chain. See Create an Action Chain.

21.07.0

• A new filter field has been added to a variable's Expression editor in the Properties pane to help you search and find variables. You can also resize the left panel, which is useful when a variable's name is long.
• For common filtering scenarios in components like select-single, a new Text Filter Attributes field has been added to an Array Data Provider variable's Properties pane. Use this field to specify an array of attributes on which the filter should be applied.
• For complex variable types like an Object, a new diff property has been added to the variable's onValueChanged event listener to show properties within the variable that have changed.

21.07.0

• It is now possible to delete business objects even when they are referenced by other business objects. When you try to delete a business object, from the Objects tab or the Diagrams tab within Business Objects, any relationships to other business objects will be shown in a confirmation dialog. If you confirm the selection, the fields referenced in the other business object will also be deleted.
• Prior to 21.07, number fields returned in a business object endpoint response were presented in scientific format (for example, 1E3), unless the response was processed by a JSON parser (either directly or on the business object's Data tab). Now, however, the numbers are always returned in standard notation, making it possible for numbers to display consistently even without parsing.

  Note:

  If your application is already staged and published, make sure you re-stage and re-publish your application to leverage this update. See Staging and Publishing Visual Applications.

21.07.0

21.07.0

Last release, we gave you the option of creating a dynamic service connection to retrieve a service's OpenAPI definition from the source URL. While this option always fetches the latest service definition for your app, it may impact performance. To optimize metadata retrieval performance, we've introduced the Copy minimal OpenAPI to the application option for ADF Describe-based services like Oracle Cloud Applications. This option stores minimal service metadata locally in the application's sources, but dynamically retrieves the parameter or request/response schema whenever required. See Service Connections: Static Versus Dynamic.

No matter which metadata retrieval option you choose when creating a service connection, you can now change your selection later on. See Convert a Service Connection.

See Specify Task Actions Shown to Users in Using Processes in Oracle Integration Generation 2.

210129.2200.39441

Embedded dashboards

In the November 2020 release, we introduced the ability to embed customized views of Insight dashboards in other applications by manually constructing a URL to render the dashboards. In this release, we are providing a URL builder in the user interface to make embedding dashboards in an iFrame even easier.

Also new in this release is the ability to embed dashboards as HTML elements using Oracle JET Composite Component Architecture (CCA) components.

See Embed Integration Insight Dashboards in Other Applications in Using Integration Insight in Oracle Integration Generation 2.

210129.2200.39441

A separate tracking user interface, called the B2B Track Messages page, is provided under the Monitoring tab in the left navigation pane. This page provides visibility into message exchanges between your company and trading partners. A Wire Messages tab provides a technical view of messages actually sent and received from trading partners. A Business Messages tab shows business transactions exchanged with trading partners.

See Track B2B Messages in Using B2B for Oracle Integration Generation 2.

See Manage Trading Partners in Using B2B for Oracle Integration Generation 2.

View file listing

The Folders page has been renamed to Files. It now lists both folders and files contained in the selected folder. You can sort them and filter them to list only files or only folders.

See Configure Folders and View List of Files in Using File Server in Oracle Integration Generation 2.

210129.2200.39441

• New navigation for service connections and backends

  The Services tab in the Navigator (previously the Service Connections tab) has been enhanced to show catalog backends as well. Within this tab, Service Connections now show under the Service Connections tab and backends show under the Backends tab. Previously, all backend settings were managed from the Services tab in the Settings editor. See Work with Services in Developing Applications with Oracle Visual Builder in Oracle Integration Generation 2.

• Support for custom backends

  In addition to the built-in Integration, Process, and Oracle Cloud Application backends, it's now possible to create backends that map to other types of custom servers. You can use any OpenAPI/Swagger service specification or point to an Oracle ADF Describe to create a custom backend. See Create a Custom Backend in Developing Applications with Oracle Visual Builder in Oracle Integration Generation 2.

  Service connections for custom backends can be created by service specification or by endpoint URL.

• New dynamic service connections

  You can now create a service connection to dynamically retrieve the service's OpenAPI definition, instead of copying the definition and storing it as part of your visual application's sources. A dynamic service connection creates a pointer to the service definition at a remote location. This keeps your application in sync with the latest service definition and enables you to re-use external definitions that aren't customized for your app. See Service Connections: Static Versus Dynamic in Developing Applications with Oracle Visual Builder in Oracle Integration Generation 2.

• Smart URL and information banners

  Several updates were made to enhance the workflow when you create a service connection by specification or by endpoint, key among them:

  • A new + Service Connection button enables you to create a service connection from an existing backend.
  • The URL input field displays a drop-down list of existing backends and filters the list based on the text you enter. A new Detach button () lets you use the URL that the services resolves to, rather than the vb-catalog URL.
  • An information banner helps you more easily identify service connections that are "derived" from a backend.

21.04.0 (210129.2200.39441)

Note that code insight has changed—you now need to trigger it in an editor by typing Ctrl+Space or by typing a trigger character, such as the dot character (.) in JavaScript. See Work With Code Editors in Developing Applications with Oracle Visual Builder in Oracle Integration Generation 2.

21.04.0 (210129.2200.39441)

When you define an action's properties in an action chain, its default ID is now regenerated to provide a more descriptive identifier. For example, a single Call REST Endpoint action added to a chain has an initial ID of callRest. If you configure the actions endpoint, say, to call the Petstore getPetById endpoint, the action ID is automatically updated to callRestGetPetById, making your code more readable and easier to maintain and debug.

IDs are regenerated for the following actions: Call Action Chain, Call Function, Call REST, Fire Event, Navigate, and Call Component.

21.04.0 (210129.2200.39441)

• Auto setting for screen size

  The screen size setting that determines how your canvas displays in the Page Designer toolbar now includes an Auto option, which resizes the canvas to take up all available space between the left and right panes.

• Revamped Visual Applications page

  We’ve made some changes to the Visual Applications Home page. With one glance at the new Origin column, you can see which apps were built in your Visual Builder instance and which originated in Visual Builder Studio. And while the only action available for VB Studio apps on the Home page is Delete, you still have access to all the other actions—you just perform them in VB Studio now. See Manage Applications Created in Visual Builder Studio. Finally, check out the new icons on the Home page that indicate an application's status, as well as the new timestamp that shows recent activity for the app.

20.4.2.0.0 (201009.0200.37964)

• Status indicators

  Red overlay icons now appear in the Navigator to identify app artifacts that include audit errors. Red underline appears on the Navigator entry and the tab for the file that includes the error.

  Errors are generated for broken variable and type references. Warnings are generated for unused action chains, constants, events, event listeners, types, and variables. For action chains, audits have been added to validate that required fields in the action include values.

• Oracle JET Audit Framework

  The Audits feature now references up the Oracle JET Audit Framework (JAF) tool and metadata from Oracle’s content distribution network (CDN). You can configure the built-in rules that JAF provides.

You can now define a caching strategy to safely store your business object's data and improve performance, by editing the Resource Cache Control setting on a business object's Endpoints tab. Because all application data is deemed sensitive, by default, no data is cached.

See Control Data Caching for Business Objects in Developing Applications with Oracle Visual Builder in Oracle Integration Generation 2.

20.4.2.0.0 (201009.0200.37964)

You can now create variables from within the Assign Variables dialog that you open from the Action Chains editor.

20.4.2.0.0 (201009.0200.37964)

• Deep links for mobile applications

  The Visual Builder Runtime now supports deep linking. Application behavior depends on the app and the environment where the app runs. Android and iOS mobile apps that you build in Visual Builder can be opened from deep links. For PWAs, iOS does not support deep links while Android provides ready-to-use support for deep links.

• Adaptive icons for Android mobile applications

  Adaptive icons that display as a variety of shapes on different Android devices are now supported for mobile applications built on Visual Builder. The sample application image archive (available in an application's Resources section) includes adaptive icons that you can use as a base when you create custom images for your application. If your application uses an older image archive, Visual Builder will try to use those icons as adaptive icons, but it is best to provide your own icons that are in line with Android specifications. Visual Builder does not validate your icons and cannot guarantee that they will be compatible.

20.4.2.0.0 (201009.0200.37964)

20.2.3.0.0 (200705.0200.36413)

Multi-operation Integration support

In Oracle Integration, integrations were recently expanded to expose multiple operations that can trigger them. Multi-endpoints means multiple resources and operation available in an integration, so we've added support for multi-operation REST integrations in processes. In a process application, we read and create all the resources, operations, and types (representing the payload) that the integration exposes and allow you to choose which one to call in each activity.

See Expose Multiple Operations with a Pick Action in Using Integrations in Oracle Integration Generation 2.

20.2.3.0.0 (200705.0200.36413)

Import over TIP using REST

We've added the option of importing an .exp file as a tip of an already existing application of the same name. This option is important for CI/CD use cases.

In post calls to create a process application in a specified space (/oic/api/1.0/spaces/{spaceId}/projects), two new boolean parameters are available to overwrite an existing project when importing an application with the same name:

• overwrite: If set to true, the existing process application is overwritten with the imported one. The default value is false.

• discardUnpublishedChanges: If set to true, unpublished changes in the existing process application are discarded and the existing application is overwritten by the application being imported. The default value is false.

Note that discardUnpublishedChanges must be set to true if there are unpublished changes in an existing application. If there are unpublished changes and discardUnpublishedChanges is set to false, the import fails and a message indicates unpublished changes.

20.2.3.0.0 (200705.0200.36413)

Terminate action available in dynamic processes

We added support for a Terminate action for dynamic processes in Workspace (runtime).

See End Dynamic Processes and Activities in Using Integrations in Oracle Integration Generation 2.

20.2.3.0.0 (200705.0200.36413)

On the Consoles page, the Filter icon allows you to filter the list of consoles by active, inactive, or all consoles. The Inactive filter replaces the previously separate Inactive (Deactivated Model) and Inactive (Failed Model) filters.

See Work with the Consoles Page in Using Integration Insight in Oracle Integration Generation 2.

20.2.3.0.0 (200705.0200.36414)

Usage metrics

Insight is included in Oracle Integration usage metrics. Each business transaction in Insight is considered one message.

See Monitoring Billable Messages in Provisioning and Administering Oracle Integration Generation 2.

20.2.3.0.0 (200705.0200.36414)

Users and Groups are now listed as pages instead of tabs

We've separated the Users and Groups listing from tab to page-based. So you now configure users and groups on separate pages selected from the navigation pane.

See Configure Users and Configure Groups in Using File Server in Oracle Integration Generation 2.

20.2.3.0.0 (200705.0200.36414)

Intermittent gateway error

An issue where browser 502/504 errors occurred while editing a process application has been resolved.

Permissions not shown in group details

On the File Server Users page with the Groups tab selected, when you expand a group, permissions on the folders appear blank. The workaround is to click Permissions (key icon), which displays the Permissions page with the correct permissions for the group.

Public key not saved for unconfigured user

If you upload a public key for a user that has not been configured yet for File Server, the key isn't saved. The workaround is to configure the user first and then upload the key.

Uploading a public key using Firefox on a Mac doesn't work

If you try to upload a public key for a user using Firefox on a Mac, the popup closes and the upload is not successful. The workaround is to use Chrome.

Default idle timeout incorrectly listed

On the File Server Settings page, the default value shown on screen for the Idle Timeout field in the General section is incorrectly displayed as 600. The default value is 240 seconds.

Home and permissions not shown in expanded view

User effective home and permissions are not shown in search view and expanded view when group is enabled.

Display issues switching between Users and Groups tabs

Issues were discovered when switching between Users and Groups tabs. Separate pages are now shown for users and groups.
