Oracle ADF REST Resource

ADF REST services provide rich service metadata that Oracle Visual Builder Add-in for Excel can analyze to provide a business object catalog with many details already filled out.

ADF REST services include many services offered by Oracle Cloud Applications. When the add-in integrates an Excel workbook with ADF REST services, it supports special features such as:

• Search editor
• Row finders
• Multi-row upload
• Polymorphic business objects
• Custom actions
• Upsert mode
• Business object hierarchies

See Consuming ADF RESTful Web Services.

Support for Date Effective Objects

If you are working with a REST service that includes Date Effective objects, you can configure a row variable that allows your business users to specify a start date and an Effective-Of REST request header that references that start date. See Configure a Row Variable for a Layout and REST Request Headers.

For more information about Data Effective objects in ADF REST services, see Manage Date Effective Objects in the REST API for Oracle Fusion Cloud HCM guide.
