Choose Your Instance's Update Window

Functional updates for Visual Builder are provided in two windows, which are typically two weeks apart. You use tagging in the Oracle Cloud Infrastructure Console to select in which window you want your instance updated. We recommend that non-production instances be updated in the first window and production instances in the second window. This allows you to test your applications in your test and development environments before the update is applied to your production environment.

Use Oracle Cloud Infrastructure tagging to identify an Visual Builder instance's window. The default is Window 2. Window 1 is selected only if you select the VISUALBUILDER_UPDATE_WINDOW1 tag for the instance.

• If the VISUALBUILDER_UPDATE_WINDOW is set, the instance is updated in window 1.

• If the VISUALBUILDER_UPDATE_WINDOW is NOT set, the instance is updated in window 2.

Note:

Oracle automatically sends notifications to the instance's account administrator each time it will be updated, confirming the instance's next update window. Once we send out the notification, it's too late to change your window for that update. If you do make a change, it won't be applied until the following update.

To set the update window option:

1. In the Oracle Cloud Infrastructure console, navigate to the Oracle Visual Builder instance you want to tag.
2. Click More actions and select Add Tags in the menu.
3. Enter the tag in the Tag Key field. For example, enter VISUALBUILDER_UPDATE_WINDOW1.

   Do not specify a tag namespace or value for the tag. Other tags have no effect on the update window setting.

4. Verify your tag is set by selecting the Tags tab and choosing the Free Form Tags section.

If needed, change the update window by deleting the tag and creating a new one. To delete a tag, click the edit (pencil) next to the tag and click Remove Tag.
