How Do I Set Up VB Studio?

Using VB Studio's hosted development platform, you and your team can develop new visual applications or customize certain Oracle Cloud Applications by extending them. These extensions are then managed just like any other VB Studio artifact. You can also develop software applications using any language you choose.

Before your team can use VB Studio, you, as the administrator, need to set it up, configure it, add your team members to Oracle Identity Cloud Service (IDCS), and assign them proper roles.

Note:

Only one IDCS is supported per service instance.

Most administrators will follow this path to set up VB Studio:

First, everyone should read Get Started with Setting Up VB Studio to see if you need to create your own VB Studio instance. If you're using VB Studio solely to configure and extend Oracle Cloud Applications, for example, you can skip this step because Oracle will provision VB Studio instances for you.

After that, your next steps depend on what you want to do:
  1. If you want to set things up so you and your users can extend (customize) Oracle Cloud Applications, you can go directly to Set Up VB Studio to Extend Oracle Cloud Applications.
  2. If you plan on creating visual applications hosted on an instance of Visual Builder, go to the Set Up VB Studio for Developing Visual Applications chapter.
  3. If you want to manage a large software development project that uses OCI cloud services and doesn’t involve either Oracle Cloud Applications or visual applications, work through Set Up VB Studio for CI/CD.

The other chapters in this guide are intended for use on an as-needed basis.
