Visual Builder Business Objects

Oracle Visual Builder Add-in for Excel supports catalogs that consist of custom business objects from Visual Builder applications that use the Visual Builder Business Objects (VBBO) API.

When the add-in integrates an Excel workbook with VBBO, it supports special features such as:

• Multi-row upload
• Custom actions (known as Object Functions in Visual Builder)
• Search editor

These features are not supported for VBBO:

• Automatic configuration of filter parameters for Lists of Values
• Oracle Fusion Applications Token Relay Authentication
• Row finders

See Accessing Business Objects Using REST APIs.

Compatibility

A workbook configured with a catalog of type VBBO is no longer compatible with add-in versions earlier than 3.6.

VBBO catalogs created with versions 3.5 and earlier display an API type of “ADF REST” in version 3.6 and later. If desired, you can update the API type from the Advanced tab of the Business Object Catalog Editor.
