Integration Features

Feature	Description	Published
REST Adapter - Octet-Stream support for inbound (trigger) direction	REST continues to be an important technological pivot for integrating systems in a simple, rapid, and revolutionary way. Oracle Integration further enhances the REST Adapter to enable sending binary files to REST APIs through the application/octet-stream content-type. This enables you to send binary files read from one end to another end seamlessly. As an example, you can build an integration flow to expose a REST endpoint that can accept structured/unstructured content such as CSV-formatted files and PDF documents as raw/binary data and have them processed and sent to downstream applications such as Oracle ERP Cloud/sFTP servers. See REST Adapter Trigger Request Page and REST Adapter Trigger Response Page in Using the REST Adapter with Oracle Integration.	January 21
Publishing interfaces for Oracle Integration flows as OpenAPI documents	Oracle Integration continues to adopt open standards for publishing integration flows and simplify consumption of Oracle Integration flows from external systems. In the same endeavor, the REST Adapter in Oracle Integration has started automatically publishing OpenAPI documents for all of the Oracle Integration flows that have the REST Adapter as a trigger. OpenAPI has become a de facto standard for describing a REST API. You can download the OpenAPI documents and use the documents to build the client applications for consuming the Oracle Integration flow exposed as a REST API.	January 21
Oracle Engagement Cloud Adapter and Oracle ERP Cloud Adapter - Custom business event support	Oracle Integration can consume custom business events that are configured on custom objects in Oracle Fusion Applications. The Oracle Engagement Cloud Adapter and Oracle ERP Cloud Adapter provide support for consumption and processing of events that are raised based on operations on custom objects. See Oracle Engagement Cloud Adapter Capabilities in Using the Oracle Engagement Cloud Adapter with Oracle Integration and Oracle ERP Cloud Adapter Capabilities in Using the Oracle ERP Cloud Adapter with Oracle Integration.	January 21
Oracle Engagement Cloud Adapter - Upsert operation support	Oracle Engagement Cloud Adapter (Sales Cloud) has been enhanced to support the upsert operation. This enables the service invoke to perform an update on a business (REST) resource if it exists or create a new business resource if it doesn't exist. This simplifies how you create/update a business resource without worrying about the existence of the business resource. You select the upsert operation for the selected business resource from the Select the Operation to Perform on the Selected Resource list on the Operations page when configuring the Oracle Engagement Cloud Adapter as an invoke connection. See Invoke Operations Page in Using the Oracle Engagement Cloud Adapter with Oracle Integration and REST API for Oracle Engagement Cloud in Cloud REST API for Oracle Sales Cloud.	January 10
Gmail Adapter and Microsoft Calendar Adapter - Attachment support	The Gmail Adapter and Microsoft Calendar Adapter are critical parts of the connectivity portfolio enabling an integration architect to poll/send mail or invites to the appropriate resources. The Gmail Adapter and Microsoft Calendar Adapter have been further enhanced to support sending attachments through mail and calendar invites. For example, assume you want to fetch a sales proposal document and send it as an attachment through mail. This can now be easily achieved using the Gmail Adapter and Microsoft Calendar Adapter. See Invoke Operation Selection Page in Using the Gmail Adapter with Oracle Integration and Invoke Operations Page in Using the Microsoft Calendar Adapter with Oracle Integration. .	January 7
FTP Adapter - FTP Multilevel authentication support	This policy uses multiple independent credentials to log in to the server. This process creates an extra layer of defense against unauthorized users. With this policy, you provide a user name, user password, private key, and private key passphrase to connect to the sFTP server. You also configure the first authentication sequence between the password and the public key. See FTP Adapter Capabilities in Using the FTP Adapter with Oracle Integration.	January 2

Integration Features

Feature	Description	Published
Oracle ERP Cloud Adapter - Simplification when integrating with File-Based Data Integration (FBDI)	Use of FBDI with the Oracle ERP Cloud Adapter is a widely adopted feature. However, the prerequisite for enabling this capability (filing a service request against Oracle ERP Cloud to get the required certificates) was daunting. The Oracle ERP Cloud Adapter has simplified integration with FBDI significantly by removing this prerequisite. See Oracle ERP Cloud Adapter Capabilities in Using the Oracle ERP Cloud Adapter with Oracle Integration.	December 5
Oracle SOA Suite Adapter - New adapter	Oracle Integration greatly simplifies how to use your existing Oracle SOA Suite (including Oracle Service Bus) and Oracle SOA Cloud Service investments to build new hybrid integrations with the Oracle SOA Suite Adapter. The Oracle SOA Suite Adapter can connect, discover, and invoke composites/projects on Oracle SOA Suite/Oracle Service Bus or Oracle SOA Cloud Service with simplicity and ease. The Oracle SOA Suite Adapter supports connecting to Oracle SOA Suite/Oracle Service Bus or Oracle SOA Cloud Service directly or through the connectivity agent if Oracle SOA Suite/Oracle Service Bus are behind a firewall. See Oracle SOA Suite Adapter Capabilities in Using the Oracle SOA Suite Adapter with Oracle Integration.	December 5
IBM MQ Series JMS Adapter - New adapter	Oracle Integration now supports integrating with an IBM MQ Series JMS server. The IBM MQ Series JMS Adapter supports both invoke- and trigger-based operations with IBM MQ Series by publishing messages to the queue or subscribing to the messages in a topic. See IBM MQ Series JMS Adapter Capabilities in Using the IBM MQ Series JMS Adapter.	December 5
Oracle Policy Automation Adapter - Inbound support	The Oracle Policy Automation Adapter can be used for regulated industries such as public sector, financial services, medical devices, and retail; for human resources decision-making; or anywhere that policy-based decisions must be integrated. The Oracle Policy Automation Adapter has been enhanced for inbound support (that is, triggering an integration based on an event in the Oracle Policy Automation tool). See Oracle Policy Automation Adapter Capabilities in Using the Oracle Policy Automation Adapter with Oracle Integration.	December 5

Process Features

Feature	Description	Published
Read only form control containers	You can now set form container controls to read-only, making all contained controls automatically read-only rather than having to individually set them with this property. See Place Controls in Panels, Sections, or Tabs in Using Processes in Oracle Integration.	December 19
Configure query parameters dynamically in form connector calls	We added support in form REST connector calls to use expressions when setting query parameters. See Execute REST Connector Calls in Events in Using Processes in Oracle Integration.	December 4

Visual Builder Note

Feature	Description	Published
Business rules are disabled in Oracle Integration Generation 2 environments	The ability to define Business Rules (including server-side validations, triggers, object functions, and declarative workflow) is available in all environments except in Oracle Integration Generation 2. You'll see a message in the Business Rules tab for business objects if business rules can't be configured in your environment.	December 4

Integration Features

Feature	Description	Published
REST Adapter - Payload format name change in the Adapter Endpoint Configuration Wizard	When creating an invoke connection in the Adapter Endpoint Configuration Wizard, the Raw request and response payload format selection is now called Binary on the Request and Response pages.	October 14
REST Adapter - Oracle Cloud Infrastructure (OCI) Signature Version 1 security policy support	As Oracle Cloud Infrastructure continues to build modern, scalable, and secure cloud services, security has its prime place in the Oracle Cloud solution. In the same endeavor, Oracle Cloud Infrastructure provides a signature to enable a more robust and secure way of invoking Oracle Cloud Infrastructure services. The REST Adapter now supports Oracle Cloud Infrastructure signature-based authentication to facilitate invoking Oracle Cloud Infrastructure cloud service REST APIs such as Oracle functions, streaming, storage and so on as an integral part of Oracle Integration orchestration flows. See REST Adapter Concepts in Using the REST Adapter with Oracle Integration.	October 11
Monitoring pages - Custom time range with which to filter the search for instances	You can specify a custom time range with which to filter the search for instances with the From and To buttons on the monitoring pages for Integrations. This enables you to select a time range as small as a minute and track only those instances processed within that specified time range. The specified time range is preserved by default and applied to the data being displayed when you navigate from one monitoring page to another (for example, when you move from the Track Instances page to the Integrations, Track Runs, or Errors page). See Track Business Identifiers in Integrations During Runtime in Using Integrations in Oracle Integration.	October 11
Orchestrated integrations - Pseudo view and layout view	Multiple layouts of an orchestrated integration are provided. Pseudo view enables you to view the integration vertically with child nodes indented. Details about each node in the integration are displayed to the right. You can edit the integration by selecting the + sign to invoke an inline menu for adding invokes and actions. Layout view enables you to view the integration horizontally or vertically. See Create an Orchestrated Integration in Using Integrations in Oracle Integration.	October 11

Process Features

Feature	Description	Published
Improved activation experience	The override option when activating a process application is no longer available. This is to avoid accidentally selecting it and losing all the instances for the version that you are activating. If you want to delete all the existing instances for testing purposes, select the test partition when you activate your process application. If you use the test partition, the existing instances are deleted each time you activate. To keep existing instances, activate using the production partition, and use incremental version numbers each time you activate. To delete all the existing instances in a production partition, deactivate the process version and then reactivate it again using the same version number. When you deactivate a version of a process, that version ceases to exist. See Activate Applications in Using Processes in Oracle Integration.	October 30, 2019

My Services replaced with Platform Services in the Oracle Cloud Infrastructure Console	After signing into Oracle Cloud, account administrators use the Oracle Cloud Infrastructure Console to access Integration under Platform Services. Previously you accessed these services from the My Services Dashboard. See Access Oracle Integration in Administering Oracle Integration and the Oracle Cloud Infrastructure Blog.	September 9

Integration Features

Feature	Description	Published
Scheduled parameters - business identifier assignment	You can create and assign scheduled parameters as business identifiers that enable you to track fields in messages during runtime. See Create Parameters in Scheduled Integrations in Using Integrations in Oracle Integration.	September 20

Visual Builder Features

Feature	Description	Published
Upgrade Oracle JET design time and runtime	The Visual Builder design-time was upgraded to use JET 7.0.1 and the JET runtime was upgraded to version 7.1.0.	September 27
New declarative actions	The following new actions have been added: A new geolocation action has been added to allow declarative access to the user's current location. A new Share action allows mobile applications to invoke the native sharing capabilities of the host platform and share content with other applications, such as Facebook, Twitter, and Slack. Support for Cordova's pause and resume events (vbPause, vbResume) was added. The vbPause event fires when the native platform puts the application into the background, typically when the user switches to a different application. The vbResume event fires when the native platform pulls the application out from the background. A "video" option was added to the list of mediaType parameters of the TakePhoto action. Selecting "video" will record a video or allow an existing videos to be selected. In web apps, selecting the video mediaType will open a dialog where non-video files are filtered out. In PWA apps on iOS and Android and iOS native apps, the option allows video recording using the camera, or selecting a video file. In Android native apps, only file selection is allowed. Recording using the camera is not supported.	September 27
New Custom Event contract	A new "navigateToItem" custom event is declared by default in new mobile and web applications created with templates using navigation items (drawer/tab) on the root page (or Shell Page). The custom event provides an easy way for you to configure navigation between items/tabs. An event listener for switching the item/tab is defined by default in the root or shell page.	September 27
New UI for building filters	A new UI has been added in the mapper to help with creating FilterCriterion to filter the output for SDP (Service Data Provider) variables and call REST actions.	September 27
Added support for registering your own Oracle DB instance	An administrator can now use a wizard in the Tenant Settings to switch the Tenant schema to another Oracle DB instance that has more space. By using your own Oracle DB instance you will also have direct SQL access to the tables created for your business objects. In the wizard, the administrator can specify a DBaaS or Autonomous Database instance. The wizard includes a tool for selecting which projects in the tenant are downloaded prior to switching to the new DB instance.	September 27
New UI for managing user roles	The UI in the Settings editor for creating and managing user roles in a visual application has been updated and streamlined. When creating a user role, the user role and the users and groups assigned to it, are now created directly in the IDCS application. The "virtual roles" mechanism used in earlier releases is no longer supported. If you are developing an application that used virtual roles, you will need to use the new UI to replicate those users and roles because the virtual roles won't be converted to the new role mapping mechanism.	September 27
Improvements in Action Chain editor	The following improvements and features were added to support for Actions: The action chain editor is now displayed as a tab within the artifact tab in the Designer. This makes it easier to switch between the action chain and other artifact editors. The action chain editor now includes an overview window that shows the entire diagram when in diagram view. The visible part of the diagram is highlighted. When zooming or panning the diagram, the overview window updates its highlighted area to match. Also clicking on the overview window or dragging the highlighted area pans the diagram.	September 27
Improved templates and wizards for mobile apps	The following improvements were made to the wizards and templates for mobile apps: A new wizard was added for creating root pages, allowing you to select the nav style and page template. When creating a new root page, you can choose to create new flows or select existing flows for the new root page. If the nav-style of the new root page is None, you can choose to create a flow or page, and choose page templates. The wizard for creating apps now allows you to select from multiple nav styles (Horizontal, Vertical and None), page templates for individual flows can be selected, and the UI was improved for Nav styles that need multiple items. The application no longer has a single scrollbar enabled at the root of the application. Instead, the scrollbar is within the content of the template. The tab bar at the top of an application can be locked in place, and the content in a tab can now be scrolled. This is implemented by default in new mobile applications. Existing applications can add it by simply slotting the tab bar to the "navigationBarTop" slot and moving it directly into the "oj-ext-mobile-page-template" parent node. Scrolling now supports momentum scrolling for a more native feel on iOS. Safe margins for iPhone X (R, S, SMAX) are correct in portrait and landscape modes. New pages created with the "Summary with Content" template now use content scrolling, and the summary is locked in place. Two new template pages can now be created with the wizards: Form and List. Sample code is provided as starting points for the ListView and Form layouts commonly used in mobile applications.	September 27
Improved templates and wizards for web apps	The following improvements were made to the wizards and templates for web apps: The wizard for creating web apps now supports two navigation styles: None and Tabbed. The tabbed web application template is responsive, providing a shell that displays the navigation drawer in smaller screen sizes (like phones), and a tabbed display in desktop/tablet form factors. The wizard for creating root pages allows you to select existing flows or create a new flow. When nav-style None is selected you can choose if you want to create a flow.	September 27
Added PWA loading spinner	The starter mobile application template now adds a spinner to the index.html. This spinner is taken down once the application is initialized and content is displayed.	September 27
Extra Headers for Basic Auth in Mobile apps	It is now possible to specify extra HTTP headers when using Basic Auth authentication in Mobile apps, enabling integration with Oracle Mobile Hub (OMH).	September 27
Improvements to the Events editor	The following improvements were made to the Events editor: The event listeners UI has been updated to show more information about where events are fired and which components are firing them. Events and their payloads can now be defined in the Events editor and fired using the Fire Custom Event action. This allows the runtime to propagate events to their desired listeners and to help you configure when the events are fired.	September 27
Improvements to the Page Designer	The following improvements and features were added to the Page Designer: The Component Palette, Page Structure and Property Inspector panels are now visible in Code view. Switching between Design and Code modes only swaps the canvas and code editor. Component selection and changes are now synced across all panels and views. You can now drag and drop components from the Components Palette directly into the Code view and reposition them in Code view using the Page Structure view. Cut/Copy/Paste is now supported for selected components in the Page Structure view and Design mode. The actions can be invoked using standard shortcuts (ctrl+x, ctrl+c and ctrl+v, CMD key on macOS), and are also available in the component's popup menu. When a component is pasted into a page it is automatically assigned a unique ID. When a component is pasted on a different page, all property values that are expressions are removed. A "Temporary Override" option has been added to some properties in the Property Inspector which allows you to set a temporary value for the property. The value is only applied during design time. For boolean-type properties, you can select a Temporary Override option of Off, True or False in the component's popup menu. In the Page Structure view, an orange badge is used to indicate when a Temporary Override is currently used on a component. The Temporary Override settings are only valid until the page designer is reloaded or the page's code is edited in Code mode. The Temporary Override option is available for the following component properties: "test" property of oj-bind-if component. Using this enables the contents wrapped by the IF to be displayed in the page designer. The option allows you to override a default value of false that would otherwise be the result of the IF condition. "expanded" property of oj-collapsible "expanded" property of oj-ext-mobile-navigation-bar-drawer "initial-visibility" property of oj-dialog The oj-dialog component is now supported in the Design mode and has been added to the Components Palette. When designing an app, you can choose to keep dialog components open in the canvas while designing its contents by using the Temporary Override option in the Property Inspector or the component's popup menu to set the initial-visibility property. In Live mode you can invoke the action that opens the dialog, for example, if the dialog opens when a button is clicked. When the dialog is open in the canvas, only the components inside the dialog on the canvas are selectable and drop indication feedback is enabled for them. Unused component import is removed from the page model when the last instance of the component is deleted from the page. Components dropped into a parent's slot are wrapped with a template element if the slot's metadata includes attribute data. Non-field components dropped into a form layout container are now all accompanied by a label component to allow default column alignment with regular field components. Layout helpers have been added for simple non-component HTML elements (for example, <div>). This enables children (deleting, moving, adding child components) inside the element to be easily manipulated.	September 27
Improvements to the Property Inspector in Page Designer	The following improvements and features were added to the Property Inspector in the Page Designer: Docs hyperlink has been added to the help popups on properties and slots of the component in its Property Inspector. The link leads to the particular JSdoc page in the component's documentation based on its metadata. Menu components in Slots sections now offer Divider and Menu Multi-Select subcomponents in the Add Action drop-down. In the Table Columns customizer, the drop-down list of identified column fields has been renamed from "Fields" to "Simple Field Columns". The list includes only the fields which are not represented by separate components in the column templates' code. Basic support for a mobile application's Drawer component (available in New Mobile Application wizard as Vertical navigation style option) was added to the Property Inspector. In the Page Structure view, you can now see a "Mobile Navigation Bar - Drawer" component after opening the Page Designer for an application's root page (root pages / app). In the Property Inspector, the Drawer component contains: A Navigation Items section which helps you customize the navigation items in the drawer, similar to customizing items of the Bottom Bar component An Expanded property with a Temporary Override section that allows you to force a value to be True in the design time. This enables you to make the Drawer visible on the canvas so that you can work with it visually. The Styling section in the General tab now displays classes for components that have a predefined set of styling classes listed in its styleclasses metadata.	September 27
Improvements to Quick Starts	When using a Quick Start, the following improvements were made to help locate data in the Endpoint Selector: improvements to how the focus is shown for single items improved tooltip for switch between simplified and advanced mode the search keyword is now highlighted	September 27
Enhancements to Business Object editor	The following improvements and features were added to the Business Objects editor: In the Diagrams view, when no objects are selected in the diagram you can now select which business objects are displayed in the Property Inspector. When a business object is selected, you can use the Property Inspector to edit the business object, its fields and relationships. The business object directory structure has changed. All json files for the artifacts (business objects and diagrams) are now under the businessObjects directory. Business object metadata defined in Application Settings is now stored in businessObjects.json instead of settings/security.json.	September 27
Enhanced business object security definitions	Enhancements were made to the Data Security Rules section that you use to define business object security. Support for Groovy expressions has been improved. You can now use a Groovy expression to identify the current user instead of a JavaScript expression, and you can use any expression that can be evaluated to a literal constant when the business object REST API is called. When creating conditions, you can now also choose fields from a related object in the Field drop-down list.	September 27

Improvements to connecting to Fusion Applications catalogs in the Tenant Settings	In the Tenant Settings editor, specifying the base URL for a Fusion Applications catalog for the tenant has been simplified: You now only need to supply a valid Fusion Applications base URL. The path to the interface catalog will now be resolved automatically. When you enter the FA base URL, the connection is tested to ensure that the endpoint is accessible without authentication and is CORS compliant. The catalog will not be created if these criteria are not met. . The alternative to setting the catalog at the tenant level is to set it at the visual application level where more options are available.	September 27
Improvements to the External Build process	The following improvements were made to support using the external build tools: Support was added for creating custom requirejs module bundles for visual applications. You can use this to help improve application performance by creating multiple bundles and customizing the content of each bundle. You can then control which bundles are loaded initially and which are loaded when they are needed. The external build can be configured to produce bundles that conform to the pure EcmaScript 5 standard supported by older browsers and also produce an ES6 set of bundles. This allows you to write more modern code (EcmaScript 6) in your application and also have an application that can run on IE11 and other old browsers.	September 27
EcmaScript 2018 support	The code editor for .js files now has editing and audit support for EcmaScript 2018 (ES2018) in mobile apps and when using the external build process. ES2018 is not supported in web apps, which continue to use ES5.	September 27
JET Audit tool added	The JET audit tool has been integrated into the design time. The tool currently works on all HTML files, and can help produce pages that conform to the JET guidelines.	September 27
Added settings for JET and runtime versions	It is now possible to specify a Visual Builder runtime and JET version in web and mobile application settings.	September 27
Added support for IDCS multi-stripe	Visual Builder can now be used in IDCS accounts which use multiple stripes.	September 27

Process Features

Feature	Description
Canvas changes	We've introduced unified and better color coded icons in our structured process modeling canvas. You'll see new toolbars and icons in the elements palette. See New Process Icons for a side-by-side comparison of new and old icons. Icons: Many items stay the same color: Human tasks are still green, Decisions are yellow, and System and Integrations are still blue. But we've introduced new colors: Events, such as Form Start and End, are purple. Gateways are orange. Note icons (Other category) are pink. Toolbar: All icon functionality stays the same, but they've been repositioned and updated.
Common expression builder in Decision modeling editor	We’ve enhanced the design-time interface of decision models for consistency and ease of use. Entering expressions in decision tables, decision input data, or type definition is now a uniform, intuitive experience. Additionally, new modes are now supported in decision table cells that make populating tables quick and simple. See Define Decision Input and Type and Define Decision Table Input in Using Processes in Oracle Integration.
Conditional expressions in data association	You can now control data execution in runtime for both structured and dynamic processes by applying conditions while mapping data from the Data Association editor. In such cases, data executes in runtime only when the defined condition is met. See Define Conditions for Data Associations Using Processes in Oracle Integration.
Smart sentries in dynamic processes	Define smart sentries as conditions that decide if an activity, stage, or process gets activated or terminated. Add a decision to a dynamic process: Apply an activated decision to a stage or activity’s condition so that it activates or terminates the stage or activity. See Smart Sentries in Dynamic Processes in Using Processes in Oracle Integration. Add a REST connector to activate or terminate a stage, activity, or process in a dynamic process. See Configure a REST Sentry in a Dynamic Process in Using Processes in Oracle Integration.
Promote process application samples to the gallery for easy sharing	The QuickStart gallery has expanded to include samples in addition to QuickStart Apps. From any regular process application, developers can promote it to the gallery. Other users can then browse the gallery, select a sample, and create their own copy of the sample application. See Promote Applications as Samples to the Gallery in Using Processes in Oracle Integration.
QuickStart Apps enhancements	We've made it easier for users to create process applications from QuickStart Apps and added flexibility for developers: When users create by starting from the gallery, items now display a QUICKSTART or SAMPLE label to easily distinguish them. We made usability improvements to QuickStart Apps. Developers can better order artifacts of different types (such as approvals, submits, roles, integrations, and others) and users can more easily configure apps. See Create Your First Application (a Quick Start) in Using Processes in Oracle Integration.
Robotic process automation adapter for Automation Anywhere	Use the new Automation Anywhere Integrations adapter to automate repetitive human tasks and integrate with applications that do not offer APIs or for which there is no adapter. See Integrate with Robotic Process Automation Tools in Using Processes in Oracle Integration and Understand the Automation Anywhere Adapter in Using the Automation Anywhere Adapter with Oracle Integration.
REST API updates	We've made additions and added examples to the Process/Process Instance APIs in the Oracle Integration REST APIs. For example: Retrieve Activities Flow for a Process Instance: Use the new activityType query parameter to the to return only a subset of activities that match the specified type. Update the Process State: Use the new suspend and resume actions to alter the flow of a process by passing activityChanges in the JSON body. See the What’s New topic under Get Started in Oracle Integration REST API.
Application activation	We improved the process application activation dialog so that it now shows your current retention policy settings.
Dynamic process enhancements	We've added support for the following special types of data association to dynamic processes (already supported in structured processes): Transformations: Use them for input and output data types that don’t match. They're particularly useful for matching slightly differing data attributes, such as address or employee data. See Work with Transformations in Using Processes in Oracle Integration. Append to arrays: Use the Append action in the data association editor to add elements to a target array. See Append to Array in Using Processes in Oracle Integration. Array filter: Now available in dynamic processes. In the Data Association editor of a structured process or transformation, you can selectively filter elements from a source array object and assign them to a target array. See Filter Array Data Objects in Using Processes in Oracle Integration.
Forms enhancements	Updates include: You can now access an object from a Select control while displaying one value but using other non-visible object attributes in select control events. For example, you might show the label of an object, but use the ID internally to populate other form controls. See Configure Drop-down Select Fields in Using Processes in Oracle Integration. You can now easily reorder actions in web form events. You can now reorder table columns in web forms.
Data retention	We improved the process application activation dialog so that it now shows your current retention policy settings.

Application WSDL validation	Enhanced adapters to intelligently validate application WSDLs where the target namespaces do not match the parent schema import. 'Import' is used instead of 'Include' or cross-referenced schemas are present without import namespaces in the definition.
Operation invocation on Fusion Applications	Invoking operations on custom objects for Fusion Applications adapters no longer fail.
Error message improvement	Improved error message with an action recommendation when an adapter 'Test Connection' fails due to a self-signed certificate not having the subject alternate name.
Collapsed scope actions	Users can reposition collapsed scopes within orchestration integration flows.
Activation errors	Activation errors caused by XML schema definitions containing references to it are successfully handled (recursive schema imports or includes).

Process Resolved Issues

Issue	Resolution
Import issue	Deleting a process application and then re-importing it under the same name resulted in the old deleted process application rather than the new version.
Process application open issue	An internal server error was fixed that prevented process applications from opening in Process design time.
Identities REST endpoint issue	An HTTP 500 error was returned when invoking the bpm/api/4.0/identities REST endpoint when Oracle Identity Cloud Service (IDCS) contained a very large number of users. A similar situation occurred with the Identities web form control and other select controls in Process forms when Oracle Integration was pulling a full list of users, and was resolved.
Correlations issue	Users were prevented from opening the FX correlations mapping editor and configuring correlations in structured (BPMN) processes.
Web form preview mode issue	Web form elements visible when editing were not visible in Preview mode.
Title update issue	The process instance and task titles were not properly updated when configured inside a parallel gateway. After the fix, the main thread title propagates to all child threads inside the parallel gateway flow.

New Visual Builder Features

Feature	Description
Support for Progressive Web Application	You can now enable the mobile applications that you create in Visual Builder as Progressive Web Apps. Among other benefits, this allows you to distribute your application through a URL for users to access.
Take Photo action	The Take Photo action has been enhanced so that, in addition to mobile applications, you can use it in web and Progressive Web Apps that you create in Visual Builder. The runtime behavior depends on the type of application that you use the action in.
Open URL action replaces Navigate to External action	A new action, Open URL, replaces the deprecated Navigate to External action. Using the Open URL action, you can choose where to open the URL: From a web application, in a new or existing browser tab From a mobile application, in the native browser, such as Safari on iOS, in app browser, or the current web view
New Navigation Drawer template for mobile apps	For mobile applications, Visual Builder now provides a new navigation option that you can implement when you select the Vertical navigation style when creating a new mobile application.
Improvements to staging and publishing using DevCS	The workflow for staging and publishing using the Developer Cloud Service pipeline has been improved.
Improved support for the Component Exchange	You can now use the Component Exchange component catalog to add reusable components published by Oracle to your application. In the Component Exchange, you can now see all available versions of a component in addition to the latest one, and choose the version you want to install.
Improvements to the Page Designer	The following improvements and features were added to the Page Designer: You can now select multiple components in the canvas and in the Page Structure view. On the canvas, you select multiple components by holding the Shift key while clicking on the components. In Page Structure View, you select multiple components by holding the Ctrl/Cmd key while clicking on nodes of the tree. When multiple components are selected, they can be moved together to a different place on the same page, and actions invoked in the popup menu are applied to all the selected items. When the Delete action is selected, all the selected components are removed. The Surround actions make the chosen option the common parent of the selected components, for example, two selected adjacent components can be surrounded with one oj-bind-if. Selecting the Parent submenu in the popup menu will show all the common parents of the selected components. The Page Structure view has been redesigned and the following functions added: An options dropdown menu was added Tooltips on nodes now show all details, including IDs, classes and content hints even when these details are hidden in the tree A new popup was added showing the slots on nodes of components which have slots Special wrapping div elements used for sizing inside grid container are now displayed as Cell and Gap elements The Variables drop-down in the Property Inspector now includes a Create Variable action for all scopes to allow direct creation of a new variable to bind to the property. The oj-tab-bar component now preserves the selected tab while the page is refreshing in canvas.
Changes to Security settings	The following changes were made to how security settings are configured: Anonymous access is now set at the level of the artifacts (web, mobile, service connections, business objects) instead of the visual application. The Allow Anonymous Access checkbox in the visual application's Settings editor has been removed. A Business Objects tab has been added to the visual application's Settings editor, and the Security tab has been removed. The tab contains security settings for business objects, the URLs for the Catalog APIs and the tool for getting an access token.
Improvements to Application Wizard	The design of the New Application wizard has been updated.
Improvements to business rules editor	A new tab was added to the Editor's palette for object functions that shows the parameters of the current object function. This list of parameters updates automatically when you edit the function's parameters using the business rules Property Inspector.
Support for secure static headers for web services	You can now define secure static headers at the server level. The header value is encrypted and stored by the vb proxy, and the vb proxy will apply the secure header when a request is made by the service. Warning messages are shown if the service connection is not using the vb proxy.
Improvements to Audits	You can now select individual issues and use the menu in the Audits pane to execute all tasks related to the selected issue, including fixing the issue.
Improvements to translations	When downloading translation files, the downloaded file is now fully ARB-compliant.
Improved support for Excel Add-in	The UI for the REST console has been improved.
Changes to relationships between business objects	The way relationships between business objects are modeled in the entity.json has been modified to improve scalability. The entity.json of both business objects in a relationship now contain some details of the relationship. This enables the existence of all relationships for a given business object to be known without loading the whole data model. The following changes were made to the UI for relationships: In the Overview tab, incoming relationships (for example, 1:M) are shown as a dotted line until clicked, at which point the full details from the owning business object are loaded to enable the cardinality and required status to be determined. In the Relationship Editor, the optional Accessor name fields that only appeared in Edit mode has been replaced with mandatory relationship name fields in both Edit and Create. Using the name as an accessor is optional, and you can enable and disable the option. Many-to-many relationships are no longer derived from the existence of the two many-to-one relationships, but are persisted in entity.json. If a many-to-many is needed and the intersection business object already exists, this can be selected in a dropdown list in the Create Relationship dialog.
Optimized mobile template size	The Debug and the Release versions of the iOS and Android templates have been optimized to reduce their size.

See Integrate with Robotic Process Automation Tools in Using Processes in Oracle Integration and Understand the UiPath Robotic Process Automation Adapter in Using the UiPath Robotic Process Automation Adapter with Oracle Integration.
Expanded Process task view for authorized users	We've provided the Process Owner and Process Reviewer roles better visibility into the task history of process instances. Users assigned these special roles see a task history dropdown field with two options: Task View (default) shows the current task's history. Full View shows history for all tasks executed in the process so far. The assigned role determines the task details available: Process Owners see tasks for processes they own by selecting Administered by Me under My Tasks. They can see task details of all tasks (current and completed) in the process. Process Reviewers see tasks for processes they review by selecting Reviewed By Me under My Tasks. Process Reviewers can see task details for current tasks; they see completed tasks but without details. See Assign and Manage Roles in Using Processes in Oracle Integration.
Dynamic process iFrame support	We’ve made dynamic process components available for iFrame integration using embeddable components. For example, you can now embed case details, dynamic process instance lists, and milestone and activity lists. See Experiment with Process UI Components in Using Processes in Oracle Integration.
Timezone support on forms	The Date Time control has been enhanced to adjust to users' timezones. When a user enters data into a Date Time control, the timezone information of the user is saved in UTC format. When other users access this data, the date-time information is displayed in timezones specific to them. See Configure Date and Time Fields in Using Processes in Oracle Integration.
Business object updates (WSDL)	You can now update external business objects being used in a process application by uploading a new WSDL file.

New Visual Builder Features

Feature	Description
Upgrade to Oracle JET 6.0	The Visual Builder generated applications now use Oracle JET 6.0 libraries and components.
Improvements to the Page Designer	The following improvements were made to the Page Designer for visual applications: iPad added as device option in the Page Designer for mobile apps Quick Starts now generate ojAction events instead of click events for buttons The Settings editor for a shell page now contains a Default Flow setting to be used when nested flows are embedded in the page using the Flow Container component (oj-vb-content) Pages in design-time are now automatically refreshed when navigating to them to update data changed in a different page (for example, when saving data in Live mode in one tab that affects the data displayed in another tab.) Empty container-like components on the canvas are now highlighted to indicate the area they occupy (rendered border) and their name (gray label). This applies to the Form Layout, Grid/Flex/Bar Containers and Rows, and Toolbar and Masonry components. Support for drop handling for flex in mobile page templates was improved. Improved drop support for oj-form-layout means that any component can be dropped into a form layout, and form layouts can also be nested. A component can be paired with the oj-label that precedes it in the source code, so components without a label-hint attribute set can have their label in the form. A Flow Container component was added to represent the oj-vb-content element. The component can be used in the page to embed a nested flow's page.
Improvements to Quick Starts	The following improvements were made to Quick Starts: The Bind Data step of Quick Starts for List View, Table and Create/Edit/Detail pages now includes component selection dropdown for all the selected fields. Quick Starts now generate ojAction events for buttons instead of previously generated click events Updated default label position attribute (label-edge) in forms generated by Quick Starts for web and mobile apps.

Upon selection, the component method input is also populated with the methods that are valid for the selected component. When adding a Call REST Endpoint action, placeholders are now shown for the failure outcome in addition to the success outcome.
Added support for nested flows	Visual Builder now supports nested flows, and the following features were added: The Settings editor for pages now contains a Default Flow setting that is used when a nested flow is embedded in the page using the Flow Container component. Nested flows can be created in the flows folder under any flow.
Added support for iPad deployment for mobile apps	iPad was added as a deployment target option when building mobile apps.
Support for Integrations	A new tab for setting the Oracle Integration server URL and authentication was added in the application's Settings editor. An Oracle Integration service catalog was added that lists REST integrations defined in Oracle Integration, and you can now use the service connection wizard to select integrations from the catalog and add them to your application.
Improved support for installing components	The following improvements were made to support adding components: A mechanism was added for updating components installed from Component Exchange. When opening an application, the Component Exchange is automatically checked for new versions of installed components, and a message is displayed when updates are available. The window displaying Component Exchange items now contains individual Browse, Installed and Updates tabs. The Updates tab lists the new versions of components when they are available and can be used to update components.
Improvements in the Property Inspector	The following improvements were made to the Property Inspector for visual applications: An Array type customizer in the All tab for array types can be used to create and manage the array items. A Slots customizer in the General tab and in Page Structure view now lists the component's slots in a logical order. default slot first, contextMenu slot last, the other slots in between startIcon, endIcon slots (for example, for button components) start, middle, end slots (for example, for a bar layout component) For components inside For Each, the $current and the As alias are now available in the mapper/expression editor opened from Property Inspector. The names of action chains created from the Events tab now have "Chain" appended to the name (for example, ButtonActionChain).
Improvements to Event Listeners	The mapper for custom events and variable change listeners now displays $event in the sources. Notification messages are now displayed when an event listener refers to an action chain that does not exist, calls an action chain without mapping required parameters and calls an action chain with unrecognized parameters.
New notifications for variables and types	Notifications were added to indicate invalid or missing details for variables and types: Type is not defined as a valid object or array Type references another type that doesn't exist Type references an invalid type Variables: Default value is invalid Variables: SDP: No endpoint defined Variables: MSDP: No SDPs specified
Settings window now opens in tab	The application's Settings are now displayed in an editor tab in the designer instead of a modal window.
Support for child business objects in business rules editor	The custom code editor for business rules now contains the option to select a template with code for working with child business objects.
Added support for Visual Builder Add-in for Excel plugin	The Oracle Visual Builder Add-in for Excel is a plug-in for Microsoft Excel that allows Excel users to edit business data available from Oracle REST services.
Support for vanity URLs	You can now specify a vanity URL for an application in the Application tab of the visual application's Settings editor.

You now delete components using the Delete item in the context menu at the top of the Property Inspector. The All tab in the Property Inspector now displays an indicator when a property has a sub-property where values have been set. The Property Inspector header now contains a Back button with the parent component name in some cases Components in named slots of parents - e.g. "< Button | Icon" for an icon in a slot of a button Components that declare a link to one of its ancestor tags - e.g. "< List View | Swipe Tile" where swipe action tile is in a swipe actions element inside a list view's template element The Property Inspector now provides improved support for CCA component metadata: Create General and Data tabs for properties marked in their component.json with propertyGroup 'common' or 'data' When marked with 'format', the following properties will have more specialized customizers created in the Property Inspector: date, time, datetime, color. Events marked as 'common' will appear in event Quick Starts, and as 'suggested' events in the Create Event UI A tool for uploading images and accessing an image gallery was added to the Data tab for image components in the Property Inspector. The List View in the Property Inspector now contains a customizer for Swipe Actions. The HTML code editor now supports Oracle JET 5.1 elements. Insight shows element and attribute documentation. Insight also helps with attribute enumeration values and binding variables.
Improvements to Quick Starts	The following improvements were made to Quick Starts: Variables created by Quick Starts now use a shorter "SDP" suffix instead of the previously long "ServiceDataProvider" Types are now created by Quick Starts into the page scope instead of the flow scope Add Data to List Quick Start now generates components into slots of oj-vb-list-item row CCA (instead of binding fields to attributes of the CCA). The Select Endpoint step of Quick Starts now contains an updated Endpoint picker. The panel shows the simplified view by default and contains an option to switch to the detailed view. The Bind Data step of Quick Starts has been updated to have an Endpoint Structure view where you can drag and drop fields to select them. The step contains an area for adding fields that are included in the data but not rendered in the page. For mobile apps, the Edit Page and Delete Action Quick Starts now generate the appropriate action in List View as a swipe action. A Quick Start Create Static List of Options was added for generating combobox, select and radio buttons components
Improvements to Action Chain editor	The following improvements were made to the Action Chain editors: Actions that are not fully configured will show a warning symbol. A tooltip will indicate the missing configuration. Clicking placeholder node will open a menu with options for adding an action. Action chains can be renamed in the Property Inspector Flow input parameters can be specified for navigateToPage events that changeFlow. A text field for filtering actions was added to the Actions palette.
Improvements to the Artifact Browser	You can now import single files and zip archives by dragging them from your local system directly onto folders in the Artifact Browser. The Import Resources dialog box opens when you add the file.
Improved support for variables and types	The following improvements were made to the support for variables and types: You can now create Multi Service Data Provider (MSDP) variables. Types can be promoted to a wider scope, allowing them to be reused and reducing the number of duplicated type definitions across pages. Unsupported attributes of ADP/SDP/MSDP have been removed. The event listener tab for variables has been simplified Add field is exposed consistently for types
Improved support for connecting to services	The following improvements were made to the connecting to services: In the Services tab of the application’s Settings dialog box, a button was added for testing the connection to the catalog URL using the authentication credentials. Problems connecting to the URL are displayed in the dialog box. In the Authentication tab of the Services editor, the "Allow anonymous access" option replaces "Use different authentication for a logged in user". The upper authentication option is for the logged in user and the lower authentication option is for anonymous users. The Source tab for displaying the Swagger now contains the property "anonymousAuthentication" and the property "diffAuth" is no longer used. In the Authentication tab of the Services editor, "Propagate Current User Identity" was added as an authentication mechanism. This is the preferred option for propagating identity from web or mobile apps to service connections. In order to use the new Implicit Flow authentication at the web app level or "Basic" authentication at the mobile app level, the authentication mechanism for service connections needs to be set to "Propagate Current User Identity". In previous releases, mobile apps that were set with "Basic" at the app level could use "Direct" as an authentication mechanism to propagate identity to services. With this release this combination will no longer propagate identity. Instead of using “Direct”, the authentication mechanism for these service connections will be automatically changed to "Propagate Current User Identity" when the visual application is reopened. You are strongly advised to review the service connections for mobile apps that use identity propagation. You must also restage/republish these apps for the new changed settings to take effect and to consume any security related fixes, which is recommended. In the Authentication tab of the Services editor, a new authentication type "Same as Authenticated User" is available when the Allow Anonymous Access option is selected. When "Same as Authenticated User" is selected, the anonymous user will inherit the user credentials from the logged in user (the credentials selected in the Authentication Mechanism dropdown list). Developers can now test service endpoints as an anonymous user by selecting As Anonymous User in the Test tab of a service endpoint. This feature can be use when the Allow Anonymous Access option is selected in the service’s Authentication tab and an anonymous authentication mechanism is selected in the dropdown list. In the Endpoints tab of the Services editor, a button was added that enables you to replace the service definitions of all selected endpoints with the latest updated definitions from the service. The Replace Definitions button is available when the registered service connection is registered via the Catalog (Fusion Applications) or a service specification document ("ADF Describe"). The button opens the service wizard and you are prompted to verify the definitions that will be replaced.
Improved support for business objects	The following changes were made to the business object editors: In the business object Diagrammer, the context menu now contains a Find command (cmd+f or ctrl+f) for locating a business object in the Diagrammer. In the Business Objects panel of the Artifact Browser you can open the contextual menu of a business object and select Find in Diagram to locate the business object in the Diagrammer. In the Endpoints tab of the business object editor, you can now click an endpoint to view the endpoint’s details in the editor. The editor is read-only, but you can use the Test tab to send requests and see the responses with specified parameter values.
Changes to build settings for mobile apps	The following changes were made to the configuration for mobile app build settings: The Build Profiles tab was renamed to Build Configurations. For each platform, you can now individually specify the default build configuration that is used for staging and for publishing. The option was added to force the built app to run in portrait mode.
Permission strings for iOS mobile apps	You can now provide custom permission strings to replace the strings provided by Oracle Visual Builder for the mobile apps it builds for iOS.
Updated application templates	Web and mobile application templates have been updated to use oj-messages, which provides a more modern UI as well as support for additional display options. New applications will automatically be created using the new templates. Existing apps would need to be manually migrated to use oj-messages.
Improvements to security settings	The following changes were made to the security configuration settings: Instance administrators can now use a Certificates page to upload and manage certificates, including self-signed certificates. User identity is now propagated to other co-located services without any explicit login when "Oracle Cloud Account" authentication is used. Added support for OAuth2 implicit grant flow in the web app settings.
Improved support for translations	In the Property Inspector you can now choose the resource bundle to use for storing a translation string.
Improved Git support	Git Tags are no longer used for keeping track of application sources. Commit SHAs are now used instead of tags.

JET text components now support virtual keyboards so on mobile devices an appropriate keyboard shows up. This has been added to the Property Inspector for appropriate text fields and defaulted correctly by component type. New components can now be added to the Component Palette from the Component Exchange and added to pages like other components. The Train (oj-train) and Switcher (oj-switcher) components and Bar Layout Container were added to the Components palette. The Bar layout container was added as a layout option for pages, and components can be positioned into the Start, Middle and End areas of the container. It is now possible to switch between any of the layout options. A popup menu for components on the canvas and in the Page Structure view enables you to surround the component with oj-bind-if, oj-bind-for-each, or oj-defer components, or a Flex container. Masonry Layout and Masonry Tile layout components are now supported. Drop feedback is available for positions between existing tiles, and the size, layout and order of tiles can be configured. The following components were added to the Components Palette: Masonry Layout, Masonry Tile, Navigation List, Conveyor Belt, Film Strip, Messages, and Password Input field. The Component Palette now contains a Picker category containing Inline Data Picker, Inline Date Time Picker, Color Palette and Color Spectrum components. A Quick Start was added in the Events tab for table components to create action chains triggered by first-selected-row events. The filterCriterion parameter replaces filterCriteria in the Add Data Quick Start.
Improvements in the Page Structure view	The following improvements were made to the Page Structure view for visual applications: Components can now be dragged from the palette into the Page Structure view, from the Page Structure view onto the canvas, and moved within the Page Structure view The Page Structure view now displays more details about components In the Page Structure view, slots are visible as nodes that can be drop targets. You can use the Show Slots toggle in the Page Structure to show and hide the nodes. You can now delete or surround elements using a popup menu in the Page Structure view.
Improvements to Property Inspector	The following improvements were made to the Property Inspector for visual applications: In the Property Inspector, an icon chooser was added for the following components: menus, tabs, radio buttons, comboboxes, selects and checkboxes In the Property Inspector, the Slots section of some components now contains a (+) action for adding a new component directly into the slot: Mobile Page Template component - slots Left Side (startControl) and Right Side (endControl) offer Button and Menu Button component - slots startIcon and endIcon offer Icon and Image many JET components - contextMenu slot offers Menu Variable selection popup and expression editor for components in List View and Table components now include $current object with its attributes. Child component's event mapper in List View now includes $current object with its attributes, including $current.key. $current.key is passed to action chains as key parameter for components inside List View and Table components. List View and Table components now set the single selection mode on selection event quick start, if not set previously. oj-vb-list-item component (list row CCA) now has a general Property Inspector tab with customizers for its attributes Datetime, Date and Time field components now have formatting options

Rich-type related metadata from Swagger is taken into account when creating field components in Quick Starts. With the Rich types implemented in business objects, we now generate proper components on our pages and honor the format attribute of the selected fields. Examples of the new fields include email, URL, phone, and percentage. This also includes showing proper icon in the endpoint structure. Numeric fields in business objects get additional hints for minimum, maximum and few others such as scale and precision. Generated components take those hints into account. String fields in business objects get additional hints for minLength, maxLength and pattern. When generated into form pages as a string input component, these should be honored and translated into proper component's attributes and validators. In the page–related Quick Starts, nested objects for Create/Detail pages implemented by allowing users to select items from inside an array. When finished the page will have an initial single empty item in the array in the record variable and generated UI components will bind to that single item. In the Edit Page Quick Start, a warning is displayed when a read-only field is selected, and conditional update based on ETag + If-Match has been added into the Edit pages generated by the Quick Start.
Improvements to Business Rules editor	The following improvements were made to the Business Rules editor: Field-level triggers are now supported, for actions triggered by changes to a field. The criteria builder now supports reference fields when building conditions. Fields from the references of the references, recursively, are also now supported.
Support for uploading single files	You can now upload individual files from the Artifact Browser and create folders using the import dialog box.
Simplified process for importing and exporting resources and applications	The process for importing and exporting visual application archives and resources are now the same. When exporting a visual application, you can now choose if you want to include the data in custom business objects in the ZIP archive. You can now easily expand and modify application archives locally and create a new archive that you can import. When importing an archive without business object data, the business objects are created but there are no records. You can import ZIP and OVB application archives.
Reorganized structure in Artifact Browser	The logical view of web and mobile applications in the Artifact Browser has been reorganized to simplify locating and creating artifacts.
Improved options for service connections	In visual applications, the Settings dialog box provides details on the URL of the Services Catalog and the authentication used to access the catalog. Web service connections can be marked as server side only connections by selecting the Server Only Connections check box on the service tab. You can now generate “Bearer” type access tokens that can be used with Oracle Cloud Account, User Assertion OAuth 2.0, Client Credentials OAuth 2.0, and Resource Owner OAuth 2.0 authentication to access Catalog and Business Object APIs from outside Visual Builder.
Improvements to Processes integration	The following improvements were made for integrating visual applications with Processes: A new Perform Task Action trigger was added to perform actions on a task A new Detail Page Quick Start was added for defining detail pages for process objects An Add Task Actions Quick Start was added for tables/lists of process tasks. The Quick Start adds controls to the page that allow actions to be performed on the task that's selected in the collection. Added support for starting a process based on a Form Start event. Enhanced functionality so that users can start processes accepting complex parameters. The UI for mapping complex parameters for actions and triggers has been improved.  The Processes pane in the Artifact Browser now contains menu items to open the Processes design time (Composer) and runtime (Workspace) pages.
Improvements to Audits window	The following improvements were made to the Audits window for visual applications: Filtering is now possible by text and type/severity A progress bar was added to indicate scanning progress
Improved support for translations	The following improvements were made to the support for translations: Clicking the translation icon in the Property Inspector opens a popup dialog where you can specify a description for strings and the key. A Translations tab was added to the Settings page for app artifacts, flow artifacts and pages to create and delete translations bundles. The Property Inspector for visual applications now includes a button for generating keys for strings and including them in translation bundles. The file format for translations has been updated to allow adding metadata to the keys in the translation bundle. The Translations tab in the Settings window can be used for uploading and downloading resource bundles. The default format for resource bundles is now ARB (Application Resource Bundle) to facilitate translating resources using various tools.
Improvements to the Variables and Types editor	The following improvements were made to the Variables and Types editors: The UI was modified to make the Edit Type from Endpoint more discoverable. Improved the drop down for selecting types to provide help hints on the data providers.
Support for application templates	If there are any application templates available in the Component Exchange associated with your instance, you will now see an option to choose an application template when you create a new visual application.
Component Exchange Integration	Service administrators can now set the location of a Component Exchange instance in the Tenant Settings.

New Common Features

Feature	Description
Oracle Integration managed by Oracle Does not apply to Oracle Integration Classic (user-managed).	Oracle Integration managed by Oracle is a new service offering that provides a unified platform in which you can automate processes, integrate applications, analyze results, and visually build custom enterprise applications. You install Oracle Integration, but Oracle manages your service instance, including performing backups, upgrades, patching, scaling in/out, database administration, and more. This enables you to concentrate fully on designing and deploying your applications. See What Is Oracle Integration in Administering Oracle Integration.
Support for Oracle Integration managed by Oracle on Oracle Cloud Infrastructure Does not apply to Oracle Integration Classic (user-managed).	When Oracle manages Oracle Integration, it runs on Oracle Cloud Infrastructure. Oracle Cloud Infrastructure combines the elasticity and utility of public cloud with the granular control, security, and predictability of on-premises infrastructure to deliver high-performance, high availability, and cost-effective infrastructure services. Oracle Cloud Infrastructure is an enterprise cloud, capable of running traditional multi-tiered enterprise applications, high-performance workloads, and modern serverless and container-based architectures. See Oracle Cloud Infrastructure and What Is Oracle Integration in Administering Oracle Integration.

New Integration Features

Feature	Description
On-premises connectivity agent	The next generation connectivity agent with a significantly smaller foot print of less than 150 MB is delivered with Oracle Integration. This enables you to build integrations that can exchange messages between Oracle Integration and on-premises assets behind a fire wall. The connectivity agent is certified to run on JDK 8 and 9. The agent is certified to run on OEL 6 and 7, RHEL 6 and 7, SUSE Enterprise 12, and Windows Standard 2016. This next-generation connectivity agent eliminates the need for you to manually upgrade the agent whenever Oracle Integration is upgraded. The agent upgrade occurs automatically whenever Oracle Integration is upgraded/patched. With a significant reduction in foot print, the download and installation of the connectivity agent are completed in less than a few minutes. See About Agents and Integrations Between On-Premises Applications and Oracle Integration and Downloading and Running the Connectivity Agent Installer in Using Integrations in Oracle Integration.
Oracle NetSuite Adapter - Basic search and pagination	You can define a search criteria based on the fields of a selected business object. See Oracle NetSuite Adapter Capabilities in Using the Oracle NetSuite Adapter with Oracle Integration.
FTP Adapter - GZIP support	With the support of this feature, your customers/partners can upload files to sFTP/FTP servers as GZIP files. The FTP Adapter can download, uncompress the GZIP files, and stage them for downstream processing. See FTP Adapter Capabilities in Using the FTP Adapter with Oracle Integration.
FTP Adapter - Read file operation file size support	The FTP Adapter now supports reading files up to 10 MB in size with the read file operation. With this capability, additional modeling and processing activities needed for downloading and staging the files and using a stage file action for reading the file in segments are eliminated for processing files up to 10 MB in size. See What You See on the FTP Adapter Invoke Operations Properties Page in Using the FTP Adapter with Oracle Integration.
- New business objects	New trigger request and invoke operation business objects are provided. For invoke connections, files, audiences, organization requests, and bulk import/export process operation business objects are provided. See Adding the Oracle Commerce Cloud Adapter Connection to an Integration in Using the Oracle Commerce Cloud Adapter with Oracle Integration.
REST Adapter - OAuth 1.0 One Legged Authentication	The OAuth 1.0 One Legged Authentication security policy enables web sites or applications (consumers) to access protected resources from a web service (service provider) through an API without requiring you to disclose your service provider credentials to consumers. An Oracle NetSuite application, for example, protects the RESTlets using OAuth 1.0a token-based authentication. You can use the REST Adapter to invoke Oracle NetSuite REST APIs using a connection configured with this policy. See How Do I Configure the REST Adapter to Consume a REST API Protected with OAuth 1.0a One-Legged Authentication in Using the REST Adapter with Oracle Integration.
REST Adapter and SOAP Adapter - Size enforcements on messages and attachments	The REST Adapter and SOAP Adapter enforce new size limits on messages and attachments. For the REST Adapter, there are multipart request and responses in the inbound and outbound directions, respectively. The size limit on attachments is applicable in both the inbound and outbound directions, getting the response from the external service. For example, the REST Adapter trigger cannot take more than 1 GB of attachments combined. Assume there are two multipart attachments that are 500 MB in size. Only two attachments can be sent in that request as the inbound limit is 1 GB. This is the same with outbound responses, if an external service is sending two multipart attachments of 500 MB in size. Only two attachments can be consumed because the outbound response limit is 1 GB for the total number of attachments. The SOAP Adapter can handle an incoming unstructured payload (MTOM) of up to 512 MB in size. See SOAP Adapter Capabilities in Using the SOAP Adapter with Oracle Integration.
Describing data definitions using a set of XML schema definitions in the REST Adapter, FTP Adapter, and File Adapter (complex schema support)	Do you have the need to describe the data structure for an XML-formatted message/file using a set of XML schema definitions (XSD)? Starting with this release, the FTP Adapter, File Adapter, and REST Adapter now allow for an archive (ZIP) of XML schema definitions to be uploaded to describe the data structure. The FTP Adapter and File Adapter provide this capability for read and write operations. The REST Adapter provides this support for describing the data structure when the application/XML content type is selected for request and/or response messages in both trigger and invoke connections. See REST Adapter Capabilities in Using the REST Adapter with Oracle Integration, FTP Adapter Capabilities in Using the FTP Adapter with Oracle Integration, and File Adapter Capabilities in Using the File Adapter with Oracle Integration.

Oracle Siebel Adapter IP2017 certification	Oracle Siebel Adapter is certified on IP2017. See the Oracle Integration Adapters Certification matrix.
Oracle Database Adapter - Bulk data import support for insert and update operations	Oracle Integration is delivering a much-sought after feature - the Oracle Database Adapter allows integration developers to declaratively define an insert-only operation and update-only operation on one or more tables. This new feature supports the sending of multiple records (for example, multiple employees details can be inserted/updated in a single request). It also supports relations (for example, multiple employees within one department can be inserted/updated in a single request). The Oracle Database Adapter enables Oracle Integration to send 10 MB of data to an Oracle database in a single request. The Oracle Database Adapter now enables you to declaratively construct your complex DML statements such as insert and update in a few clicks using a graphical editor. The editor supports only insert and update operations. The Adapter Endpoint Configuration Wizard guides you to select schemas, tables, and relationships to construct the data structure that you want to send to the database. The wizard also helps you to filter the attributes from the selected data structure to fine tune the data you may want to send to the database instead of sending all attributes. Another salient aspect of this feature is that the adapter can accept a collection of records to send to the database as a single unit of work. The following use cases can be implemented using this new capability: Bulk data insert – You can perform mass inserts. For example, up to 10 MB in the target application’s database in a single transaction in conjunction with orchestration and mapper capabilities. You can model integrations such as the synchronization of customer data from a CSV file to an Oracle database to use this capability. Bulk data update - You can perform mass updates For example, updates of employee benefits from Oracle HCM Cloud to an on-premises database up to 10 MB in the target application’s database system in a single transaction in conjunction with orchestration and mapper capabilities. See Oracle Database Adapter Capabilities in Using the Oracle Database Adapter with Oracle Integration.
Oracle Advanced Queuing (AQ) Adapter and Oracle WebLogic JMS Adapter - Support for size enforcement and rejection handling	Support is provided for processing payloads up to 10 MB in size. See Oracle Advanced Queuing (AQ) Adapter Capabilities in Using the Oracle Advanced Queuing (AQ) Adapter with Oracle Integration. See Oracle WebLogic JMS Adapter Capabilities in Using the Oracle WebLogic JMS Adapter with Oracle Integration.
Oracle Service Cloud (RightNow) Adapter - Upload and download attachment support	You can download a file as an attachment from Oracle RightNow Cloud to Oracle Integration. After the file is downloaded, the Oracle Service Cloud (RightNow) Adapter exposes the file reference in the mapper for use by other adapters for further processing. Similarly, the Oracle Service Cloud (RightNow) Adapter provides support for uploading a file as an attachment to Oracle RightNow Cloud. An integration flow can be modeled to upload a file as an attachment to an object in Oracle RightNow Cloud. See Oracle RightNow Cloud Capabilities in Using the Oracle Service Cloud (RightNow) Adapter with Oracle Integration.
Oracle Service Cloud (RightNow) Adapter - Syntactic validation of ROQL-based tabular queries (QueryCSV)	Syntactic validation of ROQL-based tabular queries (QueryCSV) is done automatically to catch any syntactic errors.
SOAP Adapter - Attachment support	The SOAP Adapter now supports sending attachments as part of the payload to an external SOAP API and receiving attachments as part of the responses received from the SOAP APIs. The SOAP Adapter automatically discovers and supports attachments found in external SOAP APIs based on the Message Transmission Optimization Mechanism (MTOM) standard defined by the World Wide Web Consortium (W3C). Use cases such as the following can be implemented using the new capabilities. You can use the Send Attachments in Request feature in the SOAP Adapter to stream an employee’s data file from Oracle Integration to UCM in Oracle HCM Cloud prior to submitting a request to Oracle HCM Cloud by invoking the Oracle HCM data loader service. Similarly, you can use the Accept Attachments in Response option in the SOAP Adapter to let the SOAP Adapter stream the Business Intelligence Publisher report available in UCM to Oracle Integration, which can be accessed and processed by downstream actions within that integration flow. See SOAP Adapter Capabilities in Using the SOAP Adapter with Oracle Integration.
SOAP Adapter - Support for uploading a ZIP file with multiple WSDLs and schemas	The SOAP Adapter provides support for uploading complex SOAP interfaces. The WSDL archive can consist of WSDLs along with any number of artifacts such as WSDLs and schemas referenced within. The archive can be uploaded through the SOAP connection. You can use this connection for invoking an external SOAP operation defined in the WSDL archive. Similarly, you can use this connection as a trigger for implementing an integration supporting one of the operations defined in the WSDL archive. For example, you can use this feature to implement integrations that expose SOAP endpoints using OAGIS-based object definitions. See SOAP Adapter Capabilities in Using the SOAP Adapter with Oracle Integration.
Oracle HCM Cloud Adapter - HCM Atom feed support	The Oracle HCM Cloud Adapter supports subscribing to the HCM Atom feed. Atom feeds enable you to track changes made to feed-enabled resources in Oracle Global Human Resources Cloud. See Oracle HCM Cloud Adapter Capabilities in Using the Oracle HCM Cloud Adapter with Oracle Integration.
Oracle HCM Cloud Adapter - HCM data extracts support	The HCM data extracts feature in Oracle HCM Cloud is a flexible tool for generating data files and reports in Oracle HCM Cloud. The Oracle HCM Cloud Adapter can be configured to automatically download HCM extracts from Oracle HCM Cloud to Oracle Integration and have them be accessible for downstream processing. For example, you can schedule to run the benefits data extract in Oracle HCM Cloud and have a scheduled orchestrated integration built to automatically download the extracts to Oracle Integration and send all or partial information to downstream applications. See Oracle HCM Cloud Adapter Capabilities in Using the Oracle HCM Cloud Adapter with Oracle Integration.
New adapter - Oracle Enterprise Performance Management Cloud Adapter	The Oracle Enterprise Performance Management Cloud Adapter enables you to connect to Oracle Enterprise Performance Management Cloud. This enables organizations to: Simplify the close process in Oracle Financial Consolidation and Close Cloud and Oracle Tax Reporting Cloud Streamline the close process through automation Leverage first-in-class consolidation and tax reporting functionality See Oracle Enterprise Performance Management Cloud Adapter Capabilities in Using the Oracle Enterprise Performance Management Cloud Adapter with Oracle Integration.
New adapter - Oracle Database Cloud Service Adapter	The Oracle Database Cloud Service Adapter facilitates integration with Oracle Database Cloud Service using the connectivity agent. See Oracle Database Cloud Service Adapter Capabilities in Using the Oracle Database Cloud Service Adapter with Oracle Integration.
Oracle Utilities Adapter - trigger-based support for manual upload of WSDLs for a particular service	You can also manually upload a WSDL in the trigger (inbound) direction for a specific service instead of parsing the WSDL from the HTTP-based service catalog WSDL specified in the Connections page. This option enables you to upload a WSDL for a particular service in which element-to-element mappings can be performed to deal with anytype elements. See Oracle Utilities Adapter Capabilities in Using the Oracle Utilities Adapter with Oracle Integration.
Workday Adapter	Workday is a SAAS-based human capital management system that also supports financial management systems for organizations. Workday can be the one system for all your organizational activities such as recruiting, payroll, finance, inventory, and so on. See Getting Started with the Workday Adapter in Using the Workday Adapter with Oracle Integration.
SAP SuccessFactors Adapter - inbound events support	Trigger (inbound) support is provided for receiving event notifications from SuccessFactors. See SuccessFactors Adapter Capabilities in Using the SAP SuccessFactors Adapter with Oracle Integration.
SAP Concur Adapter - API option support	The SAP Concur Adapter provides support for Concur’s Extract API and Payment Batch API. Concur’s Extract Web Service enables you to request the extract of available data objects, such as approved expense reports, travel requests, and payment requests. Concur’s Payment Batch API enables you to manage payment batches and collect their batch files. See Configuring Concur Adapter Invoke API Option Properties in Using the SAP Concur Adapter with Oracle IntegrationUsing the SAP Concur Adapter with Oracle Integration.

New Process Features

Feature	Description
Activation	We've enhanced the process application activation wizard: In addition to SOAP integrations, you can now configure REST integrations during activation. Note that you must configure OIC integrations in the Integrations feature. If a process application doesn't use any REST or SOAP integrations, the Customization step is skipped and you proceed directly to validation. If you opt to use credentials configured during design time, they are automatically populated for you during runtime activation. Otherwise, you can create separate credentials for runtime. See Activating Applications in Using Processes in Oracle Integration.
Email notifications	Help end users more easily respond to tasks by customizing their email notifications. In addition to templates and actions, you can now specify: When emails are sent (upon assignment, completion, or error). You can even specify a different template and subject for each status. How forms associated with tasks are included as attachments (as images, PDF files, inline, or not included). Whether documents or other files previously attached to tasks are included as email attachments. See Configuring Email Notifications in Using Processes in Oracle Integration.
Forms	Web form enhancements include: Execute actions on columns: We’ve added new actions that let you hide or show table columns when an event occurs. In addition, we've added a new property in the Properties pane that lets you hide table columns. Execute an action on all rows: We’ve added new event actions that let you: Retrieve a control's value and apply it to each row of a table or repeatable section (For Each). See Configuring Tables in Using Processes in Oracle Integration. Copy values from one column to another for each row of a table or copy values from one control to another for each row of a repeatable section (Current Iteration Row). See Configuring Tables in Using Processes in Oracle Integration. Change presentations dynamically: A new action lets you dynamically switch a form’s presentation, with the option of retaining the modified payload. For example, in a travel request application, change the presentation and available controls based on whether the user selects a one-way or roundtrip flight radio button. See Changing Form Presentations Dynamically in Using Processes in Oracle Integration. Resize uploaded images: You can now control an image’s height and width on the Styling tab.
Data association process activity	A new activity, called Data Mapper, has been added to the structured process editor under System elements. Its sole purpose is to map data. Use it to assign values to data objects when other activities that use data association (such as human or service tasks) are not needed at that point in the process. Or include a Data Mapper activity to initialize variables for the entire process. This activity can have output only. See Working with Data Mapper Elements in Using Processes in Oracle Integration.
Auto mapping	Auto mapping is available in both structured and dynamic process editors. Click the Auto Mapping icon in the Data Association window and Process makes its best guess on data values to map, based on names and data types. You may need to make adjustments, but auto mapping works well for straightforward use cases.
Custom properties for structured process activities	You can now assign values to process activities for use in runtime. Begin by defining properties and assigning them fixed values in design time, then use a process metadata REST API endpoint in runtime to access the assigned values. See Assigning Custom Properties to Structured Process Activities in Using Processes in Oracle Integration.
Test activate dynamic processes	You can now test your dynamic processes, without needing to activating them each time to see changes. See Test Activate Your Application in Using Processes in Oracle Integration.
Dynamic process patterns	We've added new process patterns to get you quickly up and started creating dynamic processes. You'll see the available patterns when you add a dynamic process to a process application. See Creating a Dynamic Process in Using Processes in Oracle Integration.
Customize JSON before importing business objects	You can now edit generated JSON before you import business objects from JSON. This allows you to make any adjustments needed to the best guesses made during generation but before import. See Importing a Business Object from JSON in Using Processes in Oracle Integration.
REST APIs	New API options were added for dynamic processes. For example, create a new dynamic process instance after first fetching deployed dynamic process definitions. You can create a new dynamic process instance using either the id or key from the response. See the What’s New topic under Get Started in Oracle Integration REST API.

New Integration Features

Feature	Description
REST Adapter Enhancements	REST Adapter API Key-Based Authentication security policy This policy enables you to provide secure access to APIs. The resource owner generates an API key for a given client application with required authorization and then shares this generated API key. The client application is then required to pass this API key with the request for accessing protected resources. See Integrating APIs with API Key-Based Authentication in Using the REST Adapter with Oracle Integration. Support for application/octet-stream MIME Attachment (Raw) Payloads Support for Raw binary attachments in payloads has been added. See REST Adapter Capabilities in Using the REST Adapter with Oracle Integration. Support for simple execution of co-located integrations. Co-located integrations are in the same POD or domain. See REST Adapter Capabilities in Using the REST Adapter with Oracle Integration. When you activate an integration with a REST trigger, at the top of the Integrations page an endpoint metadata URL is provided with which you can inspect the shape of the API. This metadata includes additional information about the endpoint description, the endpoint URI and the swagger URI. Support is provided for array types while sampling a JSON payload in the JSON translator.
Invoking co-located SOAP endpoints	Oracle Integration can determine if an outbound SOAP endpoint is invoked by an integration that is local (co-located) or remote to Oracle Integration. Co-located means the integrations are running on the same host instance or in the same domain. If the outbound endpoint is co-located, the endpoint is invoked using an optimized HTTP request using a JSON Web Token (JWT) token for authorization. See SOAP Adapter Concepts in Using the SOAP Adapter with Oracle Integration.
Oracle Field Service Adapter enhancements	There are several enhancements to the Oracle Field Service Adapter: When a new custom property is added in Oracle Field Service Cloud, you can view it in the mapper for an existing integration by clicking the Oracle Field Service Adapter in an integration and selecting Regenerate Artifact. New business objects and events have been added for selection to the Operations page and the Events page of the Adapter Endpoint Configuration Wizard. See Oracle Field Service Adapter Capabilities and Adding the Oracle Field Service Cloud Adapter Connection to an Integration in Using the Oracle Field Service Adapter with Oracle Integration.
New functions available in the Expression Builder for integrations	The following functions that were previously available only in the mapper are now available in the Expression Builder. The integration patterns that support these functions are also listed. For orchestrated integrations, you can use these functions in assign, logger, notification, filter, and switch activities. Advanced functions generate-guid (in orchestrated integrations and template integrations) lookup-xml (in orchestrated integrations and template integrations) parseEscapedXML (in orchestrated integrations only) Mathematical functions square-root (in orchestrated integrations and template integrations) String functions compare-ignore-case (in orchestrated integrations and template integrations) createDelimitedString (in orchestrated integrations only) format-string (in orchestrated integrations only) getContentAsString (in orchestrated integrations only) get-localized-string (in orchestrated integrations and template integrations) index-within-string (in orchestrated integrations and template integrations) last-index-within-string (in orchestrated integrations and template integrations) left-trim (in orchestrated integrations and template integrations) right-trim (in orchestrated integrations and template integrations)
Viewing integrations in read-only mode	You can assign the ServiceUser role to users who require read-only access to integrations. A user with this role cannot create, edit, clone, or import integrations. They can download and export integrations. See What Users Can Do in Integrations by Role in Administering Oracle Integration.
Logging details about integration execution	If you do not enable tracing, minimal logging details are created in ics-flow.log to indicate when the activated integration begins and completes execution (regardless of execution success or failure). You can download the logs on the Dashboard page. See Activating an Integration in Using Integrations in Oracle Integration.
Loading the latest integration sample versions	You can upgrade your instance to include the latest sample integration versions. If a sample integration is active or locked, it is not overwritten. See Loading Newer Versions of the Sample Integrations in Using Integrations in Oracle Integration.
Editing integrations with incomplete connections	You can edit the completed connections, actions, and maps in this type of integration. You cannot edit the endpoints based on incomplete connections. Instead, you must first edit the endpoints for those connections on the Connections page. See Editing an Integration with Incomplete Connections in Using Integrations in Oracle Integration.
Specifying separate retention times for successful and faulted integration instances	You can view the quiesced, unquiesced, and warning thresholds for your database and the percentage of the database that has been used. If you have the Administrator role, you can also set values for the quiesced threshold, unquiesced threshold, warning threshold, and retention times for successful and faulted instances. You can also perform both automatic and ad-hoc purges of the database. See Purging and Retaining Data in the Database in Using Integrations in Oracle Integration.
Invoking a process from an integration	You can invoke a process from an orchestrated integration.
