Integration and Connectivity Features
Feature | Description | Minimum Version Required |
---|---|---|
Native activity stream support | The feature-rich activity stream helps you view the
trail of activities and provides important visibility into the
runtime execution of the integration flow. You can use the native
activity stream to troubleshoot and diagnose complex integration
flow issues. However, Oracle recommends that you use this feature
with caution due to performance implications and disable it on
production instances.
See View the Activity Stream from the Dashboard Page in Using Integrations in Oracle Integration. |
22.2.2 |
Email notification limit | You can send up to 10,000 emails daily from Oracle Integration. When the limit is exceeded, email delivery occurs successfully
one last time. For the next (second) delivery, emails stop being
sent. You are prevented from sending additional emails until you
drop below the 10,000 limit for your 24 hour window.
See Monitor the Number of Emails Sent from Oracle Integration in Using Integrations in Oracle Integration. |
22.2.2 |
Activated integrations limit | You can activate up to 700 integrations per Oracle Integration instance. This limit and the number of
currently activated integrations are displayed in the System Health
section of the Dashboard page.
See View the Dashboard in Using Integrations in Oracle Integration. |
22.2.2 |
Suppression list email addresses | The suppressed email addresses are automatically
displayed in the Email Suppression List drawer. This eliminates the
need to manually search for these addresses.
See Remove Email Addresses from the Suppression List in Using Integrations in Oracle Integration. |
22.2.2 |
HubSpot Adapter - New adapter | The HubSpot Adapter is the newest addition to the CRM group of adapters in Oracle Integration. The HubSpot Adapter enables you to connect to a HubSpot instance. The HubSpot Adapter supports outbound invoke connections to execute the REST APIs.
This enables you to perform operations such as Create companies,
Create products, Update deals, Delete tickets, and others on the
HubSpot-exposed business resources.
See HubSpot Adapter Capabilities in Using the HubSpot Adapter with Oracle Integration. |
22.2.2 |
QuickBooks Adapter - New adapter | The QuickBooks Adapter is a new addition to the ERP category of adapters in Oracle Integration. The QuickBooks Adapter enables you to connect to the QuickBooks application.
The Oracle Integration supports outbound invokes to execute the REST APIs. This enables you to perform Create, Update, Delete, and Query operations on the QuickBooks-exposed business resources. For example, you can create new records in QuickBooks for the modules such as Account, Bill, Customer, Payment, Invoice, and so on. See QuickBooks Adapter Capabilities in Using the QuickBooks Adapter with Oracle Integration. |
22.2.2 |
Increased message payload size support | The supported message payload size for trigger and
invoke connections is 50 MB for endpoints accessed using the SOAP
Adapter, REST Adapter, SAP Adapter, File Adapter, and FTP Adapter.
This means that an external application can send XML or JSON
payloads of up to 50 MB in size to Oracle Integration.
Notes: This increase may lead to additional memory consumption in Oracle Integration. To ensure stability, it is recommended that the percentage of large payloads coming into Oracle Integration should not increase the number of total messages by more than 3%. See Service Limits in Provisioning and Administering Oracle Integration and Oracle Integration for SaaS, Generation 2. |
22.2.2 |
SAP S/4HANA Cloud Adapter - X509 Auth support | The SAP S/4HANA Cloud
Adapter provides support for client certificate x.509-based
authentication. You must upload your own certificate in Oracle Integration to communicate with SAP S/4HANA Cloud. This adds a layer of
security to the authorization process (access to the host) and
eliminates the risk of exposing credentials to an unknown entity.
See SAP S/4HANA Cloud Adapter Capabilities in Using the SAP S/4HANA Cloud Adapter with Oracle Integration. |
22.2.2 |
Magento Commerce Cloud Adapter - Search support | The Magento Commerce Cloud
Adapter now includes search functionality. This feature allows you to
perform search operations to get single or multiple records using
customized filters. The filter values can be dynamically specified
in the mapper.

from the Jira application to Oracle Integration when certain events occur in Jira (for example, when an issue is
updated). This is achieved through Jira Webhooks, which include JQL
configuration.
See Jira Adapter Capabilities in Using the Jira Adapter with Oracle Integration. |
22.2.2 |
Zendesk Adapter - Inbound trigger support | The Zendesk Adapter provides inbound support. You can configure the Zendesk Adapter as a trigger connection in an integration and process a message
from the Zendesk application to Oracle Integration when a ticket is created or updated in Zendesk.
See Zendesk Adapter Capabilities in Using the Zendesk Adapter with Oracle Integration. |
22.2.2 |
Microsoft Office 365 Calendar Adapter, Microsoft Office 365 People Adapter, and Microsoft Office 365 Outlook Adapter - Graph API support | Microsoft Office 365 adapters (Microsoft
Office 365 Calendar Adapter, Microsoft Office
365 People Adapter, and Microsoft Office 365
Outlook Adapter) are among the most heavily used social and productivity adapters
in Oracle Integration. The Microsoft Office 365 Adapters have been upgraded to use the
Graph API. This is time critical because Microsoft is
decommissioning the Outlook REST APIs starting in November, 2022.
Oracle recommends that you migrate your integration flows to use the
newer Microsoft Graph APIs.
See Invoke Operations Page in Using the Microsoft Office 365 Calendar Adapter with Oracle Integration, Invoke Operations Page in Using the Microsoft Office 365 People Adapter with Oracle Integration, and Invoke Operations Page in Using the Microsoft Office 365 Outlook Adapter with Oracle Integration. |

Among JET 12's many new features is the ability to show dynamic status indicators to your tab bar headers with new icons, badges, and metadata. There's also a new oj-message-banner
component that you can use to render brief, semi-permanent messages that communicate information in the context of the current page or actions in progress, without blocking interaction on that page. To see what's new in JET 12.0.x, go to the JET Release Notes and select v12.0.0.
Some new Visual Builder features can’t be used until you’ve upgraded your Visual Builder Runtime. The Minimum Version Required column shows the runtime required to use each feature.
Feature | Description | Minimum Version Required |
---|---|---|
Custom actions | In addition to VB Studio's palette of built-in actions, you can now use JavaScript to define and implement your own actions. Custom actions can be defined at a web or mobile app-level and you use them in action chains just the way you'd use built-in actions. See Custom Actions. |
22.07 |
New Flow Diagram view | When working with flows in the Diagram view, a new Flow Diagram now displays navigational relationships between pages in the flow. The Flow Diagram, different from the standard Diagram view, provides a more intuitive and interactive view that allows you to focus on navigation between pages in the flow. See View a Flow's Navigation in Diagram View.
You can also use this view to create pages and actions chains when you want to build workflows from scratch, just by dragging pages and actions from the Components palette and dropping them into the diagram. A subset of built-in actions (as well as custom actions) are available in the Components palette for you to use in your workflow. See Add Pages and Action Chains to a Flow in Diagram View. |

Some new Visual Builder features can’t be used until you’ve upgraded your Visual Builder Runtime. The Minimum Version Required column shows the runtime required to use each feature.
Feature | Description | Minimum Version Required |
---|---|---|
Responsive web app templates | New web app templates are now enhanced for responsive design. Available in three navigational styles, these templates adjust to various screen sizes and provide better support for responsive layouts and progressive web apps. See Create a New Web App.
Common elements for these web apps, such as the header, footer, and navigation items, are defined in fragments, enabling you to reuse each piece in the web app's root page as well as other pages. You can also customize these elements however you want to create your own look and feel. See Edit the App Header and Footer. Note: Web apps created with version 22.01/21.10 or earlier will not be affected. These apps will maintain their original look and feel even after you upgrade them to 22.04. |
22.04 |
Support for JET's Stable theme |
When customizing a Redwood-themed application, you can now use the Stable base theme to override only what you want to change, where previously you might have had to override all variables directly in the Redwood base theme. The Stable theme (introduced in JET 11.0.0) is meant to be as stable as possible; as a result, you can override the variables you want to change while inheriting all other updates to the Redwood theme. See Customize the Redwood Theme for a Web Application. |
22.01 |
Fragments |
If you've always wanted to break up complex pages into parts that are easier to work with, fragments is for you. A fragment encapsulates a page's section in its own HTML, JSON, and JavaScript files, helping you share it across pages in an application. Besides reuse, it provides performance gains and makes for easier organization and code management. See Work With Fragments. You can add standard as well as dynamic components (including dynamic containers) to your fragment. You can also create input parameters for a fragment right from the Properties pane of the fragment container on the page where the fragment is used. See Create a Fragment. You can also create input parameters for a fragment right from the Properties pane of the fragment container on the page where the fragment is used. See Pass Data Between a Page and Its Fragment for a sample scenario. |
22.04 |
Background processing of action chain tests |
Action chain tests, accessible through the Tests tab at the bottom of an application's window, now include some usability improvements. Instead of showing a full list of tests, this tab shows failed tests alone to highlight items that require you to take action. Test results are also cached across browser sessions now to improve performance. See Test Action Chains. The tests also run in the background, even when you are not actively working on your application. If you are, only tests impacted by your changes (for example, if you added a new variable or changed an existing function) are scheduled to run again. This way, your test results stay up-to-date even as you develop your application, helping you detect bugs earlier and maintain your tests more easily. See Manage All Tests in a Visual Application. |
22.04 |
Dynamic layout enhancements |
We've made a bunch of updates to enhance UIs based on dynamic components. When you add a dynamic component (table, form, or container), you'll notice that the Dynamic UIs tab in the Navigator is now called Layouts. Other significant enhancements include:

Visual Builder Features
Visual Builder Runtime and Oracle JET Version for 21.07
This release of Visual Builder in Oracle Integration uses Oracle JET 10 libraries and components. We recommend that you upgrade your Visual Builder applications to this latest JET version, as well as to the 21.07 Visual Builder Runtime, to take advantage of the full spectrum of 21.07 features. For example, JET 10 introduces support for rendering some components on dark backgrounds through the use of JET classes. To see everything that’s new in JET 10, see the Release Notes.
You can upgrade to the latest JET and Visual Builder Runtime versions from your visual application's Settings editor. See Manage Runtime Dependencies for Visual Applications.
Visual Builder Features
Feature | Description | Minimum Version Required |
---|---|---|
Custom theming for Redwood-based web apps | This release bundlesOracle JET 10, and with that comes the ability to customize your application's Redwood theme. You do this using CSS variables right within the Designer, though only for web applications that use the Redwood UI: From your application's Settings editor, create a separate CSS file with the default JET CSS variables, then uncomment and update the variables you want to change. See Style Visual Builder Applications and Customize the Redwood Theme for a Web Application. |
21.07.0 |
Enhanced upgrade and migration | When you upgrade your application to a newer release, Visual Builder now makes changes to your app to better align it with the new release.

21.07.0 |
Oracle JET Dynamic Components | You can now add dynamic tables and forms to your visual applications. Dynamic components let you control what’s displayed at runtime based on the conditions that are true for the current user or device accessing the app. For example, you might configure a dynamic table so that certain columns are hidden and others are added when the user viewing the page is a manager. Dynamic containers, which let you display your own content in regions within the container based on conditions that are evaluated at runtime, are also available in 21.07. You can install all three dynamic components from the Component Exchange; just search on “dynamic”. |
21.07.0 |

21.07.0 |
Delete referenced business objects | It is now possible to delete business objects even when they are referenced by other business objects. When you try to delete a business object, from the Objects tab or the Diagrams tab within Business Objects, any relationships to other business objects will be shown in a confirmation dialog. If you confirm the selection, the fields referenced in the other business object will also be deleted. |
21.07.0 |
Service connection enhancements |
Last release, we gave you the option of creating a dynamic service connection to retrieve a service's OpenAPI definition from the source URL. While this option always fetches the latest service definition for your app, it may impact performance. To optimize metadata retrieval performance, we've introduced the Copy minimal OpenAPI to the application option for ADF Describe-based services like Oracle Cloud Applications. This option stores minimal service metadata locally in the application's sources, but dynamically retrieves the parameter or request/response schema whenever required. See Service Connections: Static Versus Dynamic. No matter which metadata retrieval option you choose when creating a service connection, you can now change your selection later on. See Convert a Service Connection. |
21.07.0 |
Export user-role mappings | When you export an application, its user-role mappings (as defined in user-roles.json ) are now included in the exported archive (as role-mapping.json ). When the application archive is later imported, the role mappings are also imported—as long as the app is imported to the same IDCS domain it was exported from. See Manage User Roles and Access |

Oracle CX Sales and B2B Service Adapter, Oracle ERP Cloud Adapter, and Oracle HCM Cloud Adapter - OAuth Authorization Code Credentials support | Oracle Integration continues to improve, enrich, and secure Oracle Fusion
Applications adapters (Oracle CX Sales and B2B Service
Adapter, Oracle ERP Cloud Adapter, and Oracle HCM Cloud Adapter), providing a best in class experience for integrating with
Oracle Fusion Applications. With this latest release, the Oracle
Fusion Applications adapters now support authentication using the
OAuth 2.0 security policy. This simplifies credential management by
eliminating the need for housekeeping credentials in Oracle Integration.
See Oracle Engagement Cloud Adapter Capabilities in Using the Oracle CX Sales and B2B Service Adapter with Oracle Integration, Oracle HCM Cloud Adapter Capabilities in Using the Oracle HCM Cloud Adapter with Oracle Integration, and Oracle ERP Cloud Adapter Capabilities in Using the Oracle ERP Cloud Adapter with Oracle Integration. |

Oracle HCM Cloud Adapter and Oracle ERP Cloud Adapter - Support for consuming extensible flexfields (EFFs) and descriptive flexfields (DFFs) for REST resources | Oracle Integration is a customer-preferred platform for integrating with Oracle
Fusion Applications (ERP Cloud, Engagement Cloud, and HCM Cloud).
This latest release provides even more functional enrichments to the
already feature-rich Oracle Fusion Applications adapters and
continues Oracle Integration's lead as an integration platform of choice for customers. Oracle
Fusion Applications support associating descriptive flexfields
(DFFs) or extensible flexfields (EFFs) with which you can create
custom attributes for business objects. As you define, associate,
and leverage DFF and EFF fields for enriching business objects, the
real value of enriched business objects is reaped only when the
enriched information is exchanged seamlessly to and from Oracle
Fusion Applications and the rest of the business applications in the
customer footprint. This capability has been enhanced for the Oracle ERP Cloud Adapter and Oracle HCM Cloud Adapter.
See Oracle HCM Cloud Adapter Capabilities in Using the Oracle HCM Cloud Adapter with Oracle Integration and Oracle ERP Cloud Adapter Capabilities in Using the Oracle ERP Cloud Adapter with Oracle Integration. |
210129.2200.39441 |
Oracle HCM Cloud Adapter - Migration from emps to worker business for an employee Atom feed | The Oracle HCM Cloud Adapter has been enhanced to support the worker business objects for an
employee Atom feed. The Oracle HCM Cloud worker business object is
much more enriched in comparison to the emps business object.
Because a worker business object is a super set, there is no loss of
functionality. The Oracle HCM Cloud Adapter continues to support the emps business object for existing
integrations. However, a new endpoint configuration fetches the
worker business object.
See Invoke Operation Page in Using the Oracle HCM Cloud Adapter with Oracle Integration. |
210129.2200.39441 |
Apache Kafka Adapter - Transactional producer support | Oracle Integration continues to invest in the Apache Kafka Adapter, enhancing the feature-rich adapter to meet your use cases. With
this latest release, the Apache Kafka Adapter now supports configuring the producer as transactional. This
enables integration architects to produce messages using the

Oracle Cloud Infrastructure Streaming Service Adapter - Inbound polling | The Oracle Cloud Infrastructure Streaming Service
provides a fully-managed, scalable, and durable solution for
ingesting and consuming high-volume data that you can consume and
process in real time. The Oracle Cloud Infrastructure
Streaming Service Adapter already supports a wide array of use cases such as publishing
messages to a specific stream and partition, consuming messages from
a specific consumer group, and so on. With this latest release, the
Oracle Cloud Infrastructure
Streaming Service Adapter now enables integration architects to poll for messages in the
Oracle Cloud Infrastructure Streaming Service. This enables the
integration architect to subscribe to updates in the Oracle Cloud
Infrastructure Streaming Service and consume the same using a wide
array of connectivity adapters in Oracle Integration. Note that inbound polling configuration is only supported when
the Oracle Cloud Infrastructure
Streaming Service Adapter connection is configured with the connectivity agent.

REST Adapter - Support for consumption and publication of OpenAPI with multipart/mixed and multipart/form-data | OpenAPI is a foundational cornerstone in the digital
economy used by almost all modern applications and digital
technologies and services for communicating the set of services
offered by them digitally, enabling everyone to communicate
efficiently in the digital economy. Oracle Integration already supports publishing REST Adapter trigger flows in OpenAPI
specification. However, the OpenAPI specification generated from Oracle Integration did not contain information depicting the resource request as a
multipart request. As a result, consuming clients were left unaware
about support for multipart request resources. With this latest
release, Oracle Integration now supports publishing and consuming the OpenAPI specification
that contains the required constructs for depicting the multipart
request.
See Consume and Publish OpenAPI Documents with Multipart/Mixed and Multipart/Form-Data in Using the REST Adapter with Oracle Integration. |

21.04.0 (210129.2200.39441) |
Improvements to the Action Chain editor |
When you define an action's properties in an action chain, its default ID is now regenerated to provide a more descriptive identifier. For example, a single Call REST Endpoint action added to a chain has an initial ID of callRest. If you configure the actions endpoint, say, to call the Petstore IDs are regenerated for the following actions: Call Action Chain, Call Function, Call REST, Fire Event, Navigate, and Call Component. |
21.04.0 (210129.2200.39441) |
Index a business object field | You can now index a business object field to add a non-unique index to the field's database column and improve performance when you search for the field's value via REST requests or Groovy code. See Index a Field in Developing Applications with Oracle Visual Builder in Oracle Integration. |
21.04.0 (210129.2200.39441) |

Features Requiring Visual Builder Runtime 21.04
This release of Visual Builder uses Oracle JET 9.2 libraries and components. We recommend that you upgrade your Visual Builder applications to this latest JET version, as well as to the 21.04 Visual Builder Runtime, to take advantage of the full spectrum of 21.04 features. For example, in JET 9.2, new slots (Action, Navigation, and Quarternary) have been added to the List Item Layout component, making it even easier to produce great-looking content for your ListViews. To see everything that's new in JET 9.2, see the Release Notes.
Here are the features that require the 21.04 VB Runtime:
Feature | Description |
---|---|
New dynamic service connections | You can now create a service connection to dynamically retrieve the service's OpenAPI definition, instead of copying the definition and storing it as part of your visual application's sources. A dynamic service connection creates a pointer to the service definition at a remote location. This keeps your application in sync with the latest service definition and enables you to re-use external definitions that aren't customized for your app. See Service Connections: Static Versus Dynamic. |
Declarative support to create custom types from code | It's now much easier to use your own type, such as a type class written in JavaScript or a typescript class, with a variable in VB Studio. Using a new From Code option in the Types editor, you can import your type definition to declaratively plug in any Oracle JET type class or a custom type class and create an instance of that type class, then use it with a new category of variable known as an InstanceFactory variable.

Apache Kafka Adapter - Inbound polling support | Apache Kafka is one of the modern pillars in
enterprise's big data and digital ecosystem today, where large
volumes of messages are ingested and consumed for depicting the
state of business at a rapid pace. The Apache Kafka Adapter already supports a wide array of use cases such as publishing
messages to specific topics and partitions, consuming messages from
specific consumer groups, and reading from the beginning/latest
topic. With this release, the Apache Kafka Adapter now allows integration architects to poll for messages in the
Kafka system by configuring the Kafka connection as a trigger in an
integration flow. Note that inbound polling configuration is only
supported for the Kafka platform hosted behind a corporate firewall
or on a private VCN network, along with the connectivity agent. This
enables you to consume a high volume of messages from the Kafka
topic and consume them in the integration flow.
See Apache Kafka Adapter Capabilities in Using the Apache Kafka Adapter with Oracle Integration. |
20.4.2.0.0 (201009.0200.37961) |
Apache Kafka Adapter - Confluent platform support | The Apache Kafka Adapter now supports integrating with Kafka hosted on the Confluent
platform. Confluent Cloud is a widely-used event streaming platform
powered by Kafka that enables you to leverage Apache Kafka in a
fully managed, scalable, and serverless architecture in the cloud.
See Configure Confluent Kafka with the Apache Kafka Adapter in Using the Apache Kafka Adapter with Oracle Integration. |

Oracle NetSuite Adapter - TBA Authorization Flow security policy support | The Oracle NetSuite Adapter has enhanced its concurrency limit. This means you receive a high
concurrency limit when integrating with Oracle NetSuite using Oracle
Integration, regardless of your Oracle NetSuite license. The
enhanced concurrency limit is applicable only for invokes performed
through connections created using the new TBA Authorization Flow
security policy introduced in the Oracle NetSuite Adapter. The TBA Authorization Flow security policy provides multiple
benefits to customers:
See Oracle NetSuite Adapter Capabilities in Using the Oracle NetSuite Adapter with Oracle Integration and Oracle Integration November 2020 update for Oracle Applications Adapters. |
20.4.2.0.0 (201009.0200.37961) |
Oracle NetSuite Adapter - Support for Initialize / InitializeList operations | Oracle Integration continues to invest in the Oracle NetSuite Adapter, further integrating with Oracle NetSuite application
capabilities to meet customer needs and simplifying access and
thereby addressing wider use cases. One such enhancement available
with this release is support for the Initialize / InitializeList
operations. This is a very powerful feature for integration
architects because they do not need to populate the records from
scratch. Instead, they can prepopulate the records from the
reference objects. For example, if you are designing a flow to
initiate a cash refund, the refund is now against the cash sale. The
Oracle NetSuite Adapter allows you to initialize the cash refund record from the cash
sale, where the cash sale is a reference object and details such as
createdfrom, line items, and amount are prepopulated.
See Invoke Operation Page in Using the Oracle NetSuite Adapter with Oracle Integration and Oracle Integration November 2020 update for Oracle Applications Adapters. |
20.4.2.0.0 (201009.0200.37961) |
REST Adapter - Generation of sample cURL command
|
The REST Adapter is a versatile adapter that enables customers to communicate with
a wide array of products and services such as Oracle Functions, OCI
Object storage, AWS S3, and so on, making it one of the cornerstone
adapters for your modern integration solutions. As you look to
leverage the REST Adapter for integrating with a wide array of products and services, you
have a variety of available configuration options such as security
policy, headers, parameters, and so on. As these options are
configured at different stages, they get lost and you can lose
visibility into the configuration. Oracle Integration addresses this
need by providing an option in the Adapter Endpoint Configuration
Wizard Summary page to generate the sample cURL
command.
See REST Adapter Capabilities in Using the REST Adapter with Oracle Integration. |
20.4.2.0.0 (201009.0200.37961) |
REST Adapter - Standard OAuth policy improvements | The REST Adapter supports a variety of OAuth security policies out of the box (for
example, OAuth Client Credentials, OAuth Resource Owner Password
Credentials, and OAuth Authorization Code Credentials). One
challenge is that different vendors have implemented these policies
in different ways because the OAuth specification defines a high
level exchange of information between participating parties. This
leaves the details of implementation on the implementer. Oracle
Integration is looking to support as many vendors as possible and
still make it simple for customers to connect to and communicate
with all the digital REST services using the supported OAuth
security policy. With this in mind, the REST Adapter now supports an additional configuration parameter called Client
Authentication on the Connections page. The client authentication
parameters enable you to configure how Oracle Integration exchanges
security tokens over the wire (for example, whether the client ID
and secret are sent as a part of the basic authentication header or
in the body).
See Configure Connection Security for Invoke Connections in Using the REST Adapter with Oracle Integration. |
20.4.2.0.0 (201009.0200.37961) |
REST Adapter - Connectivity properties improvements | The REST Adapter is used for a wide variety of use cases, and requires additional
flexibility such as querying and overriding the connectivity
properties such as base URI, relative URI, or even absolute endpoint
URI. This helps you to address scenarios in which you want to
conditionally change endpoints based on the received payload. The
REST Adapter already supports connectivity properties for the invoke endpoint.
However, in previous releases, it supported only the request side.
With this release, the REST Adapter supports connectivity properties for the invoke response, trigger
request, and response: all four possible interactions. As an
example, you want to pass the location for the next integration flow
in the response of the current trigger flow. This can be achieved
now by referring to the trigger REST resource base URI along with
XSLT functions to formulate the location of the next integration
flow.

20.4.2.0.0 (201009.0200.37961) |
Salesforce Adapter - Enablement for Salesforce Government Cloud customers | The Salesforce Adapter was recently enhanced to eliminate the need to upload the
enterprise WSDL on the Connections page. With this enhancement,
customers who were using the Salesforce Government Cloud were unable
to create new connections due to login considerations, as mentioned
in this help document.
With this release, the Salesforce Adapter provides support for creating a connection with the
Salesforce.com application that can integrate with Salesforce
Government Cloud.

Oracle Autonomous Data Warehouse Adapter, Oracle Autonomous Transaction Processing Adapter, and Oracle Database Cloud Service Adapter - Support for wallet-based authentication with privately hosted databases | In previous releases, when connecting to a privately
hosted database using Autonomous Database - Dedicated (Oracle
Autonomous Transaction Processing - Dedicated or Oracle Autonomous
Data Warehouse - Dedicated) or Oracle Database Cloud Service with
the connectivity agent, the only supported security option was JDBC
Basic Authentication. With this release, you can also specify JDBC
over SSL. This allows you to connect to a privately-hosted cloud
database and leverage wallet-based authentication.

a new wallet and invalidate the existing wallet. When the wallet is
rotated or expires (or if using Basic Authentication and the
database password is changed), a corresponding change is required in
the Oracle Integration connection for that database. Once the
connection is modified in Oracle Integration, you needed to
deactivate and reactivate the integrations that used that
connection. This sometimes meant that hundreds of integrations
required reactivation, which was very impractical. With this
release, it is no longer necessary to deactivate and reactivate the
integrations. However, you still need to update the Connections page
with a new wallet password, as applicable.

20.4.2.0.0 (201009.0200.37961) |
Oracle Autonomous Transaction Processing Adapter - Support for connecting with a serverless (ATP-S) database configured with a private endpoint | The Oracle Autonomous Transaction Processing (ATP)
database is becoming more widely adopted, along with its use within
integration flows using Oracle Integration. When configuring your
database, you can specify that it uses a private endpoint within
your VCN of your tenancy. This allows you to keep all traffic to and
from your database off the public internet. When using the Oracle Autonomous Transaction Processing
Adapter in Oracle Integration to connect to an ATP instance using a
private endpoint, you must set up the connectivity agent.

PayPal Adapter - Inbound support and new modules | PayPal is a global payment provider that enables
vendors to receive payments digitally from their customers and make
payments to their suppliers. The PayPal Adapter enables you to create an integration with a PayPal application in
Oracle Integration. With this release, the PayPal Adapter provides inbound support. This means it can be configured as a
trigger connection in an integration for the events related to the
Billing, Invoicing, Payment, Checkout, and Catalog modules.
Furthermore, the PayPal Adapter has been enhanced to support the Transaction Search,
Subscriptions, Add Tracking, and Invoicing modules.

FTP Adapter - Message payload security capabilities with privately-hosted SFTP servers | When integrating with an FTP server that is hosted
on-premises behind a firewall, you configure a connectivity agent in
Oracle Integration to establish connectivity. In previous releases,
there were certain security-related options that were not available
when using the FTP Adapter with the connectivity agent. In particular:
The above options can now be leveraged with the connectivity agent while communicating with the privately-hosted SFTP server. See FTP Adapter Capabilities in Using the FTP Adapter with Oracle Integration and Security Improvements for Database & FTP Adapters. |

Oracle ERP Cloud Adapter, Oracle CX Sales and B2B Service Adapter, and Oracle HCM Cloud Adapter - Selectively pick child REST resources | The Oracle Fusion Application adapters are key
strategic adapters for Oracle Integration. Oracle Integration
continues to update these adapters with features to meet your needs
and improve the overall adapter experience. One improvement with
this release is the ability to selectively pick child REST
resources. This enables you to pick and chose the child resources
needed for your businesses. Without this feature, you would have all
child resources in the integration artifacts, resulting in an
unmanageable number of elements to traverse through in the mapper
and unnecessary loads at runtime.

Multi-operation Integration support |
In Oracle Integration, integrations were recently expanded to expose multiple operations that can trigger them. Multi-endpoints means multiple resources and operation available in an integration, so we've added support for multi-operation REST integrations in processes. In a process application, we read and create all the resources, operations, and types (representing the payload) that the integration exposes and allow you to choose which one to call in each activity. See Expose Multiple Operations with a Pick Action in Using Integrations in Oracle Integration. |
20.2.3.0.0 (200705.0200.36413) |
Import over TIP using REST |
We've added the option of importing an .exp file as a tip of an already existing application of the same name. This option is important for CI/CD use cases. In post calls to create a process application in a specified space (/oic/api/1.0/spaces/{spaceId}/projects), two new boolean parameters are available to overwrite an existing project when importing an application with the same name:

Integrations to Processes integration enhancement | When creating an integration that invokes a process,
you can select a check box to use the default version of the
process. This action enables the default process version to be
triggered regardless of the version you selected. For example, if
the process you selected is using process version 4.0, and the
process version is later upgraded to version 4.1, this means that
none of your integrations must be deactivated, edited, and
reactivated. The process automatically starts using the latest
version of the process (for this example, version 4.1).

Salesforce Adapter - Elimination of WSDL upload task on the Connections page | The Salesforce Adapter has undergone a significant productivity enhancement with the
elimination of the need to upload the enterprise WSDL on the
Connections page. You were previously required to generate and
download the enterprise WSDL file from https://www.salesforce.com and upload it on
the Connections page. This was painstaking because the updated WSDL
upload was required every time you performed a customization in
Salesforce.com. This enhancement greatly simplifies the Connections
page by asking you to simply select the target Salesforce instance
type (for example, production or sandbox environment and Salesforce
API version). Existing connections continue to work the same (with
upload of the WSDL), but new connections created are not required to
generate and upload the enterprise WSDL in the Salesforce
connection.

Oracle NetSuite Adapter - Custom fields made human-readable | Oracle Integration continues to focus on enriching Oracle NetSuite Adapter capabilities by incrementally meeting NetSuite customer needs.
The Oracle NetSuite Adapter is an all-around resourceful adapter in the Oracle Integration adapter portfolio, supporting a wide array of use cases for the
integration specialist to implement in a declarative way. The
integration specialist can use the Oracle NetSuite Adapter to make real-time invocations to NetSuite to perform create,
read, update, and delete operations and perform extensive search
operations on standard and custom business objects. With this
update, native support is added for seamlessly using custom fields
in all supported operations. However, there was one caveat with the
existing adapter: custom fields in standard business objects were
not human-readable in the mapper. With this update, the Oracle NetSuite Adapter has undergone a significant productivity enhancement. Custom
fields found in standard business objects are now human-readable in
the mapper and are also entirely portable.

Shopify. Shopify generates a wide array of business events on
supported resources when certain actions are completed on resources,
such as customer, order, addition of product, and so on. This
enables an integration architect to trigger integrations in near
real time as a desired business event occurs in the Shopify
resources. The Shopify Adapter also added support for custom fields created with the Metafields
object.

Oracle NetSuite Adapter - Asynchronous API support | The Oracle NetSuite Adapter is one of the key adapters in the Oracle Integration portfolio. Oracle Integration continues to focus on enriching this adapter by targeting
NetSuite customer needs. The current Oracle NetSuite Adapter in Oracle Integration already allows the integration specialist to configure the Oracle NetSuite Adapter to make real-time invocations to NetSuite to perform create,
read, update, and delete operations and perform extensive search
operations on standard and custom business objects. With this
update, support is added for submitting all of the above operations
in an asynchronous mode. This capability allows integrations to
seamlessly perform bulk imports of large data sets into NetSuite and
bulk data extracts from NetSuite in a declarative way.
See Oracle NetSuite Adapter Capabilities and Implement Common Patterns Using the Oracle NetSuite Adapter in Using the Oracle NetSuite Adapter with Oracle Integration. |
March 25 |
Apache Kafka Adapter - Mutual TLS and TLS security policy support | The Apache Kafka Adapter introduced earlier this month has been significantly updated with
support for TLS and mutual TLS based authentications. Mutual
TLS-based authentication uses Kafka brokers to assert the client
identity before establishing the trusted communication channel. This
enables the Kafka brokers to ensure that the requests sent by Oracle Integration through the Apache Kafka Adapter are trustable and no man-in-the-middle attack has occurred.
See Configure Connection Security in Using the Apache Kafka Adapter with Oracle Integration. |
March 25 |
Connectivity Agent - Automatic upgrade on Windows | The connectivity agent is a pivotal part of Oracle Integration, enabling integrations and the exchange of information between on-premises applications and Oracle Integration. Customers currently running the connectivity agent on Windows have been required to upgrade the connectivity agent manually. This created a challenge for customers trying to keep updated to the latest connectivity agent version. The automatic upgrade feature relieves customers of this requirement. Customers are required to manually upgrade for one last time, after which the connectivity agent automatically upgrades itself and no further manual upgrade is required. | March 19 |
REST Adapter - Multiple resources and verbs support | Oracle Integration announces yet another structural improvement in the REST Adapter. The REST Adapter had previously supported publishing only a single resource with a
single verb in inbound orchestrated integrations. This created an
impediment for creating pure resource-based APIs in Oracle Integration and forced integration architects to create multiple integrations
to support different verbs and subresources. The REST Adapter now supports adding multiple verbs to the resource and adding
subresources in the inbound definition. As an example, assume you
want to have a single resource to support different combinations of
operations on a sales order resource through multiple verbs and
subresources. You can now design such an orchestrated integration
and pick the verb, resource, or subresource from the client as
desired using a single resource URI.
See REST Adapter Capabilities in Using the REST Adapter with Oracle Integration and Receive Requests for Multiple Resources in a Single REST Adapter Trigger Connection in Using Integrations in Oracle Integration. |
March 16 |
Oracle Asserter - Integration testing framework support | The Oracle Asserter testing framework enables you to
record tests of integration instances and replay them to reproduce
potential issues. You can simulate the behavior of both a trigger
connection and the response from an invoke connection. You can also
export integrations with recordings and import and test the
integration in a different environment (for example, move it from a
design environment to a test environment). You can also submit
recordings to Oracle for analysis of errors.
See Test Integration Instances in Using Integrations in Oracle Integration. |

Notification actions - Attachment support | You can add attachments to emails in a notification
action.
See Send Notification Emails During Stages of the Integration with a Notification Action in Using Integrations in Oracle Integration. |
March 13 |
Invoking co-located, active integrations from a parent integration | You can invoke a co-located (child), active
integration from the parent integration that you are designing
through use of the local integration adapter. Co-located means the
integration is running on the same host instance or in the same
domain. Upon activation and invocation of the parent integration, it
invokes and consumes the co-located integration.

For-each action - Support for parallel processing | If you drag a for-each action into a scheduled
integration or the for-each action is not inside a while action,
for-each action, scope action, and so on, an additional field called
Process items in parallel is visible at
the bottom of the dialog. When selected, iterations of the for-each
action are run in parallel.

Slack Adapter - New adapter | Oracle Integration announces the general availability of the Slack Adapter in the social and productivity space. Slack is a collaboration
hub that helps enterprises automate their workflows, enhance team
productivity, and gain business efficiency by streamlining their
business processes. The Slack Adapter provides support for outbound-based integrations with Slack. This
enables integrations to publish updates to individuals or channels
as necessary through Slack. As an example, you want to publish sales
order updates for critical customers to the critical sales orders
channels so that customer sales representatives can easily stay
updated with their key customer order information.
See Slack Adapter Capabilities in Using the Slack Adapter with Oracle Integration. |
March 3 |
Box Adapter - New adapter | Oracle Integration announces a new addition to its growing list of connectivity
adapters. The Box Adapter is the newest addition to the list. Box.com provides content
management and file sharing as a cloud service. The Box Adapter supports both inbound and outbound integrations with Box.com on
the Oracle Integration platform. You can create outbound integrations to upload your
business critical documents such as sales orders, service contract
agreements, lease agreements, and so on as parts of integrations.
You can also create inbound integrations that are triggered based on
real-time events in Box such as file is modified. As an
example, you want to execute an integration that updates your ERP
backend system with supplier acknowledgment of the order (that is,
whenever the supplier uploads the confirmation/acknowledgment
document for the order in the Box.com folder). The Box Adapter enables organizations to share, process, and streamline business
critical documents between Oracle, non-Oracle, cloud, or on-premises
applications with rich integration capabilities as well as a vast
number of adapters to connect to these applications.

When you open an existing visual application in this release or import a ZIP containing a visual application, Visual Builder upgrades the pre-existing In addition, all Visual Builder continues to support the use of REST services that are described by JSON files using the Swagger v2 specification. For information about creating connections to REST services, see Work with Service Connections. |
March 18 |
Application Profiles |
Use application profiles to specify different application configurations for different environments and deployments. You can, for example, use an application profile to specify a service connection to different REST instances (development, test, and production) for each lifecycle phase of application development. See About Application Profiles. |
March 18 |
Connection Type(s) for CORS | Connection type is a new field where you control how your service connections communicate with external REST services depending on whether these services support CORS or not. Visual Builder automatically migrates service connections in existing applications to the appropriate connection type. The Direct (Bypass Proxy) authentication mechanism no longer appears and, in this release, the equivalent configuration is an authentication type of None and a connection type of Dynamic, Service supports CORS. See Use an Appropriate Connection Type to Handle CORS for REST Services. | March 18 |
Oracle Cloud Infrastructure API Signature 1.0 |
You can now use a signature to create an AppID flow using a single Oracle Cloud Infrastructure (OCI) user to natively connect to OCI endpoints. See Fixed Credentials Authentication Mechanisms. |
March 18 |
Action Chain Tests | Visual Builder now provides test automation capabilities for action chains, helping you to adopt test driven development. A new declarative interface helps you to define tests for the action chains in your web and mobile applications that you can run individually or simultaneously. See Test Action Chains. | March 18 |
New Array Data Provider | The page model provides a new built-in type, vb/ArrayDataProvider2 , which new applications should use. The legacy vb/ArrayDataProvider type is supported in existing applications. ArrayDataProvider2 does not allow writes to individual properties of ArrayDataProvider2.data, unlike the legacy ArrayDataProvider. Instead, ArrayDataProvider2 supports using either the fireDataProviderEventAction or the assignVariablesAction to mutate data, while the legacy ArrayDataProvider supports only the assignVariablesAction. See Array Data Provider 2.

March 18 |
Custom JET and Runtime Versions for Mobile Applications | You can now specify custom JET and runtime versions for mobile applications where previously you could only do this for web and progressive web apps. See Specify Custom JET and Runtime Versions for Applications. | March 18 |
Favicons for Web Applications | Oracle Visual Builder now provides two default favicons for use in web applications and Progressive Web Apps. One favicon is for use in light mode and the other is for use in dark mode. Overwrite the default favicons if you want to use your own favicons. See About Application Resources. | March 18 |
Mobile Build Configurations |
The mobile build configurations that you define for Android and iOS must be assigned to an application profile. The checkboxes that you previously used to specify a default build configuration for publish or stage operations have been removed. See Build Mobile Applications. |
March 18 |
Business Processes | Application profiles can be used to manage the connection to the Process Servers that your visual applications use. See Configure the Connection to a Process Server. | March 18 |
Open URL Action for Native Mobile Applications | The existing Open URL action has been updated to support opening local file attachments on native mobile applications. See Open URL Action. | March 18 |
$application.deployment | The $application.deployment built-in variable has been added to facilitate code sharing between web, mobile, and progressive web applications developed using Visual Builder. See Built-in Variables. | March 18 |

March 18 |
Improvements to the Events Editor |
The following improvements were made to the Events editor:
|
March 18 |
Secure Storage |
Sensitive data such as passwords and certificates are no longer stored in areas of storage excluded from versioning and export (private storage). Instead, they are stored in the new secure storage of Visual Builder, which is a repository of sensitive pieces of data keyed by a unique key that is stored in the source. This makes it possible to securely transfer sensitive data between Visual Builder instances. Source files, such as mobile build configuration files, now contain references to the secure storage rather than private storage. Visual Builder updates all existing applications to use secure storage. |
March 18 |
Reset an Expired Password or ATP Wallet for Your Oracle DB Instance |
Visual Builder administrators can now reset an expired password or an ATP wallet for the Oracle DB instances that you use to replace the database provisioned with your Visual Builder instance. See Reset an Expired Password or ATP Wallet for Your Oracle DB Instance. |
March 18 |
Business Object REST Endpoints | You can now add or remove the endpoints that the business objects in your visual application expose. Using a new business object resource editor, you can configure the business object to include only the endpoints that you require, thereby reducing the size of the metadata file that describes your business object REST endpoints. See Add or Remove Exposed Endpoints.
Note: For existing applications, especially those that contain many business objects, we strongly recommend that you trim the exposed endpoints of each business object to include only those that you require. You can apply the default setting to expose only the first level of endpoints for each object, but if deeper nested endpoints were included in the object's resource definition, you must modify the default selection to include those endpoints. |
March 18 |
Business Object Data Manager | The Data tab now includes menu buttons that allow you to duplicate data rows and to filter the fields that display in the data table. See Edit the Data in Business Objects. | March 18 |
Business Object Diagram | Business object diagrams now show object accessor field names by default in a separate field of the business object node. You can disable the default behaviour using the Fields and Show Object Accessors menu entries that you access from the menu for the business object diagram. Also, you can now save business object diagrams to your computer as SVG or PNG graphic files. See Work with the Business Object Diagrammer. | March 18 |

Upgrade the Oracle Sample R13 SaaS LightBlue Theme | If your application uses the Oracle SaaS R13 Light Theme, you need to upgrade the theme in your application before you run the application using this release. For more details and instructions on how to perform the upgrade of the theme, read this blog post. | March 18 |
Lists of Values Endpoints for Oracle Cloud Applications |
This is not a new feature, but be aware that Oracle Cloud Applications (OCA) has changed the way that it manages lists of values endpoints. The service connections that you created in visual applications prior to this release might use an older version of the definition for lists of values endpoints from OCA. This does not create problems for existing applications, but we advise you to use the Replace definitions for all selected endpoints button on the service connections in your visual applications that use these types of endpoints to refresh all definitions. Clicking the Replace definitions for all selected endpoints button marks an older version of an endpoint as obsolete, but does not remove it from your apps as a web or mobile app might reference this endpoint in some screens. In Visual Builder’s Endpoints tab, a strike through appears for an endpoint that has been marked as obsolete. For best performance and to use the latest way of surfacing the endpoints for lists of values, we recommend that you manually replace the obsolete endpoints in your web and mobile apps to use the newer definition for lists of values endpoints from OCA. The following image shows the Replace definitions for all selected endpoints button. For information about service connections in visual applications, see About Service Connections. ![]() |

Oracle ERP Cloud Adapter, Oracle HCM Cloud Adapter, and Oracle CX Sales and B2B Service Adapter - Simplification of the Connections page | The Connections page for the Oracle ERP Cloud Adapter, Oracle HCM Cloud Adapter, and Oracle CX Sales and B2B Service
Adapter (formally Oracle Sales Cloud Adapter) previously required you to
enter the service catalog URL, the interface catalog URL and events
catalog URL. Customers found that gathering this information was
painstaking and error prone. This enhancement greatly simplifies the
connection page by asking you to simply enter the cloud base URL,
which is a URL pattern, starting with https:// (for
example,
https://customer_chosen_domain_name.fa.DC.oraclecloud.com ).
Oracle Integration deciphers the rest of the information pertaining to service
catalog, interface catalog, and event catalog URLs automatically.

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. |
