Use Collaboration Messaging in Redwood experience with classic flows
Use this feature to access Collaboration Messaging from Redwood pages while continuing to use the classic configuration model and processing flows.
When enabled, administrators will continue performing Collaboration Messaging setup, administration, and message exchange tasks using the same model and processing behavior they use today. The primary change is the user experience, delivered through Oracle's modern Redwood design and navigation patterns. The redesigned user experience allows organizations to adopt Redwood with minimal disruption to existing administration processes.
This approach allows organizations to:
- Adopt the Redwood user experience without changing existing Collaboration Messaging processes.
- Reduce the learning curve for administrators who are familiar with the classic interface.
- Benefit from a modern user experience that's consistent across Oracle Fusion Applications and enhanced through ongoing improvements.
Steps to enable and configure
After enabling this feature, you'll notice the following enhancements to the Collaboration Messaging experience:
- Landing page – The new page provides an overview of messaging activity, including inbound and outbound document processing, message status, and processing results.

Tips and considerations
- If you're currently using the classic Collaboration Messaging flows, enabling this feature doesn't require migrating your Collaboration Messaging setup or configuration data. Existing setup, administration, and message processing will continue to be used, while only the user experience changes.
- The classic Redwood experience and the Simplified Configuration model use different configuration models, and only one experience can be enabled at a time. If the Simplified Configuration model is already enabled, disable it before enabling the classic Redwood experience.
Note: The Simplified Configuration model is enabled by the Simplify Configuration and Processing for B2B Messaging feature.
- The classic experience will continue to evolve over time with additional user experience enhancements and key Collaboration Messaging capabilities introduced through future updates as part of Oracle's ongoing Redwood adoption strategy.
