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.

Adding the Process backend

In order to work with a business process in VB, a Process backend must be added under the tenant settings of the Visual Builder instance. Refer to Chapter 5, Creating and Managing Service Connections, under the Adding a new backend section, to know how to add a backend server.

Important Note:

If a Visual Builder instance is part of an Oracle Integration Cloud (OIC) instance, then the Process backend will exist by default and you won't need to add it manually.

If the Visual Builder instance is not part of OIC, then the Process backend needs to be added manually to point to the Process instance. When you add the backend, under the Tenant settings you will only see None, Propagate Current User Identity, and Oracle Cloud Account options under the Authentication drop-down list. You can override these settings at the application level to view more Authentication options such as Basic, OAuth 2.0 Client Credentials, and so on.
