What is a Component Exchange?

A component exchange is a repository of custom components available in VB Studio. You can use these components in your visual applications, such as web components and application templates. Many of the components provided by Oracle can be installed from a component exchange.

To integrate a component exchange with a Visual Builder instance, you provide the exchange's URL and credentials in the Tenant Settings. The exchange can be a private exchange in a VB Studio project or one of the exchanges maintained by Oracle.

If your organization develops or uses proprietary components, these components can be published to a private exchange hosted by a VB Studio project. For example, if you have a web component designed to be used in applications in your tenant, you can set up your own exchange and use it to distribute the component to developers in the tenant. Additionally, components provided by Oracle are automatically available from all private component exchanges.

Oracle maintains two component exchanges containing components validated by Oracle that are publicly available to all developers. If you don't have a private exchange but you want to give developers access to these Oracle components, you can add one of the following exchanges maintained by Oracle.
