Developer-Designed Responsive Behavior
• Use buttons in designer to preview application
at various form factors
• Use Responsive tab of property inspector to
set specific properties for specific form factors
– All components have a Visibility property
– Other properties vary by component
• Charts, Tables, and List Views have interesting options
– Setting applies only to the specified form factor, and
needs to be repeated on other form factors where
that setting is desired
Working with Data

Using the Data Designer to Manage Data
Mode/Database selector
For Development, Stage, Live

Databases:
• Create/edit/duplicate
delete rows
• CSV import/export

Three Environments
Development Schema001
Stage Schema002
Live Schema002

Import/Export options
Development
Staging Live
Data Management Flow Example Use Cases
• V2 of my app is published. As I start working on V3 in Development, I want
to grab a snapshot of data from Live.
• I am about to publish V4 of my application. I’ve made structural changes to
the objects, so I want to use Stage, and I’ll lock Live first, Import from Live
to Stage, then publish the app.
• I want to make changes to data outside of the app. So, I’ll export the data,
make changes and re-import.
• I have a lot of “seed” data that is used by my application, which I maintain
in separate csv files and import as needed into individual data tables.
Working with Existing Services

First, Some Background…
• Fusion Applications built on ADF can leverage ADF BC REST features to
expose business resources as REST API
• ADF BC REST provides extremely rich metadata about resources, and ABCS
currently depends on this rich metadata to drive design-time tooling
• So far, Sales Cloud is only SaaS team with ADF REST-based APIs; HCM has
services under controlled availability
Introduction to FA (Sales Cloud) Service API by Example
URI Description
/commonCrmApi/resources/latest/describe Describe all the resources from Common CRM (Contacts, etc)
/salesApi/resources/latest/describe Describe all the resources from Sales API (Opportunities, etc)
/salesApi/resources/latest/opportunities/describe Describe the opportunities resource
/salesApi/resources/latest/opportunities GET – return list of opportunities
POST – create a new opportunity
/salesApi/resources/latest/opportunities/{OptyNumber} GET – return specific opportunity
PUT/PATCH – Update specific opportunity
DELETE – Delete specific opportunity
/salesApi/resources/latest/opportunities/{OptyNumber}/lov/Sales List of SalesStageLOV objects
StageLOV
/salesApi/resources/latest/opportunities/{OptyNumber}/child/Chil Describe the ChildRevenue resource
dRevenue/describe
/salesApi/resources/latest/opportunities/{OptyNumber}/child/Chil GET – return list of ChildRevenue objects belonging to this
dRevenue/ opportunity
POST – create a new ChildRevenue belonging to this opportunity
/salesApi/resources/latest/opportunities/{OptyNumber}/child/Chil GET/PUT/PATCH/DELETE – perform requested operation on this object
dRevenue/{RevenueId}
Select from External Service
Choose Resources
• Select Primary and
Child objects
Choose Fields
• Select Fields you want
to work with
– ?fields=xyz is used to
select subset of data
• Hint: only select what
you need now, you
can add others later
Optional Test
• Make sure you are
getting expected data
• Once object is
defined, can now be
used on pages just like
custom business
objects.
• Return to Data
Designer to add fields
(from existing object)
later
Extending and Reusing Applications

Extending Existing Service with Custom Data
As Master-Detail
• Add custom object as child

(or reference the FA object)
by dropping a table as a
detail, editing in the Data
Designer, or adding in the
Data Palette
Extending Existing Service with Custom Data
As One-to-One
• Add custom field to the FA

object by dropping it on an
Edit page, editing in the Data
Designer, or adding in the
Data Palette
Best Practice
• Recommended approach from ABCS and Sales Cloud team is to use Sales
Cloud AppComposer for One-to-One and Master-detail data extension use
cases in most situations.
Declarative Actions
• Built-in list of available actions
• Can be chained together in simple
workflow
• JavaScript option
• Currently on buttons only
Custom Actions
• Run as a JavaScript promise, must return (resolve(value)) or (reject(error))
• Set appropriate result type for resolve and reject
Custom Code
• HTML (Template)
• CSS
• JavaScript model
Shared, Reusable Content (Extensions)
Designed to be shared across tenant
Reusable UI Components. Can be data bound or not. Interactions

UI Components with designer (ie, property inspector, drop handlers, etc) coded
in JavaScript. Will support CCA directly in a future release.
Page shell including header and footer along with

Themes Navigation controls. Includes CSS styling.
Shared Resources Reusable code objects and resources.
Provides access to a set of remote services shaped as

Business Object Provider a Business Object.

Reusable Components
• Themes
• UI Components
– Additional UI components in the visual
designer
• JavaScript Libraries
– Variables and functions available for
the app
• Business object providers
– Access to external sources of data
Oracle JET CCA Integration
• Add Oracle JET Composite
Components as plugabble UI
• Set properties to field values
• Enrich your UI options
• Metadata for design time
Developer-Provided Credentials for External Services
AppID Flow
• Developer can provide user credentials (Basic
Auth) for an external service at design time.
• Credentials are stored securely in ABCS and
used also at runtime to access the service.
• Cannot be used in conjunction with a “No Login
Required” app; Cloud Login Required
• Use cases:
– Call an external Service (ADF BC-based) where id
domain federation is not possible
– Call an external Service (ADF BC-based) with AppID
token
Business Object Providers
• Allows JavaScript developer
to write a connector to a
back-end REST API shaped as
a Business Object with
operations
• Once published as a shared
extension, BOP Services
appear in the Service catalog
for others to use
JavaScript API documented in ABCS public reference doc. PM team working
on samples and examples to ease adoption.
Application Management
• Export and Import
– Exported as zip, not including
data. On import, user must
(re)enter any credentials used
for external services.
• Templates
– Any application can be shared
as a template and used as the
basis for new applications
Extension Management
• Export and Import (Create from
zip)
• Create from template
• Shared from another application
– Creates a dependency on sharing
application
– Sharing application needs to have
Shares Application Resources
setting enabled (Application
Settings > General), and application
must be Published
Application Translations
• Strings for application externalized to nls.json for translation
• Develop app >> Export language bundle zip >> Translators provide new
resource strings and updated bundle zip >> Upload new language bundle
• Optionally include system messages to override Oracle translation of these
strings.
• Browser locale determines
which language is shown
to end user.
Resource Browser
• Resource Browser to view files pertaining to this app. Upload files and
manage content
Application Lifecycle and Versions

Application Lifecycle Flow
Development Schema001
Stage Schema002
Live Schema002

What Happens During Stage
• If first time staging of this app:
– Create new database schema, create
application table structures
• If application has already been staged:
– Either reuse existing database schema objects
or recreate (user choice if possible)
• JavaScript + CSS + HTML resources
generated from application metadata and
copied into database
• Populate Lookup tables
What Happens During Publish
• If first time publishing of this app:
– Stage schema becomes live (url
updated)
• If application has already been
published:
– Either reuse live database schema or
stage schema (use choice if possible)
• If using Stage schema, recommend
to Lock live app, manually copy
data from live to staging, then
publish
Application Security
• Role-based Security
– Page level
– Object level
– Row level (basic)
– Dynamic UI based on Roles
• Roles mapped to SIM
• Optional Anonymous access

Multiple Users
• Applications can be shared with other developers (with ABCS Developer
role within a tenant) for collaboration
• Only one developer can open the app in the designer at a time
– If someone is already working
on the app, user sees an
“Application is Locked” message.
– Automatic unlock after
eight hours of inactivity
Multiple Versions
• New actions on the application menu: Copy and New Version
– Copy creates a new application (with a similar name as the original) from the selected
application and version
– New Version creates a new version of the selected application. User can specify any
arbitrary two-digit version number
• Versions (sandboxes) can be modified independently
• Each version can have a development and stage mode
• Application can only have one live (published) version
– Previously live version will be marked as Obsolete
– Option to Rollback recent Publish action
