| Chapter 18, "Creating Complex Task Flows" | |
| Section 18.4, "Managing Transactions" | Section revised to describe how choosing the <No Controller Transaction> option from a task flow's overview editor turns off the transaction management capabilities of the ADF task flow and delegates transaction management to the ADF Model layer. |
| Section 18.10, "Minimizing the Number of Active Root View Ports in an Application" | Section added to describe the new <max-root-view-ports> property that you can use to specify the maximum number of root view ports in an application. |
| Section 18.16, "Reporting Incidents to the Oracle Fusion Middleware Diagnostic Framework" | Section added to describe how you can configure the <debug-history-size> element in your application's adf-config.xml file to stop the collection of events or modify the number of events that the ADF Controller collects to report to the Diagnostic Framework if an incident occurs in your application. |
