Overview of this book

Organizations are moving their applications, data, and processes to the cloud to reduce application costs, effort, and maintenance. However, adopting new technology poses challenges for developers, solutions architects, and designers due to a lack of knowledge and appropriate practical training resources. This book helps you get to grips with Oracle Visual Builder (VB) and enables you to quickly develop web and mobile applications and deploy them to production without hassle. This book will provide you with a solid understanding of VB so that you can adopt it at a faster pace and start building applications right away. After working with real-time examples to learn about VB, you'll discover how to design, develop, and deploy web and mobile applications quickly. You'll cover all the VB components in-depth, including web and mobile application development, business objects, and service connections. In order to use all these components, you'll also explore best practices, security, and recommendations, which are well explained within the chapters. Finally, this book will help you gain the knowledge you need to enhance the performance of an application before deploying it to production. By the end of this book, you will be able to work independently and deploy your VB applications efficiently and with confidence.

Chapter 10: Working with Business Processes

Business processes that are created and deployed in Process Cloud can be initiated from VB, and pending tasks can be managed from the VB application directly. The benefit of integrating Processes with VB is to provide a unified application where end users can initiate, view, review, approve, and reject all the tasks aligned under the respective user without logging into the Process workspace.

In this chapter, we'll look at how to add Process backend that will be used to consume the Process task in the VB application. Once the backend is added, we'll create a VB application where users can initiate processes.

We'll create another set of screens in the same VB application that will allow managing tasks and provide an option to approve or reject a task directly from the VB application. Users can view the complete dataset they have initiated.

We'll look at how to configure the process server under the VB application...
