Update Your Visual Application Settings

After you import your visual application into a Oracle Visual Builder Studio project, update the application settings with a root URL and app version.

Unlike apps created in VB Studio, those created in Oracle Visual Builder aren't configured with a root URL. You'll need to provide one for your app before you deploy it. You'll also want to specify a version number at the same time.

You can provide the root URL and version number through the Application tab of the Settings editor or update both by opening the visual-application.json file from the Source View tab in the Navigator and editing it directly.

The root URL and version are used to generate a unique URL for the app when you deploy it. For example, a root URL of "MyVBApp" and a version of "1.0" results in a URL of:

https://<host>/MyVBApp/1.0/index.html

To provide a root URL and version number for your imported app:

  1. From your application's workspace, click the Menu option in the upper right corner of the application's workspace toolbar, then select Settings.
  2. Open the Application tab of the Settings editor, then type a version number in the Version field.
    You can use any numbering scheme that makes sense to you.
  3. Type a unique name for your app in the Root URL field.
    This name is used as the root URL for the app when it is deployed. Don't use a root URL that is already used by other apps on the Visual Builder instances that you’ll deploy to.

These setting are saved in the visual-application.json file for your app. You can open and edit this file from Source View.

Before you can deploy your visual application, you'll need to push these changes to your Git repository and merge them to the main branch. See Manage Your Visual Applications in Git in Building Web and Mobile Applications with Visual Builder Studio.
