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.

Promoting the VB application

Promoting means to migrate the VB application from one instance to another. Promotion of the VB application is straightforward; you simply need to export the VB application from the source instance and import it in the target instance. When you export the application, an archive file is exported containing all the resources, such as web and mobile applications, Business Objects, and Service Connections. VB removes the external REST endpoint credentials from the Service Connection during export. When you import it onto the target instance, you have to reconfigure the Service Connection credentials.

The following diagram depicts the promoting process:

In the previous diagram, we considered three VB instances, namely, development (Dev), UAT, and production (Prod). On the development instance, the developers do the development, and once the development is over, the application will be exported...
