Oracle SaaS Application Integration

Oracle FSM (Functional Setup Manager) is common feature of Oracle SaaS applications, which is used for implementation and maintenance of Oracle Applications Cloud. Functional administrators use FSM to configure implementation. FlexDeploy Oracle SaaS application integration allows for easier migration of setup tasks from one environment to other. 

Setup tasks are configured individually in FlexDeploy project, which are exported and imported as part of build and deploy workflow execution. Additionally, individual Fast Formula can also be migrated using FlexDeploy FSM plugin. This support is further extended to support scope based migration for setup tasks that support export using scope attribute, i.e. certain setup tasks can be migrated partially (using appropriate scope value).

Setup tasks hints are provided when configuring new setup task for download. In addition, FlexDeploy will suggest business object attribute which can be used for scoped export. This support is currently limited to Compensation Management offering. Configuration of setup task is made easier as FlexDeploy will automatically default name of Download file based on task and scope selection. This file name can be adjusted if necessary by user.

Setup Tasks (Oracle SaaS FSM project type) now supports multiples attribute values. Separate them by ## delimiter.

Oracle Visual Builder plugin now allows for build and deploy of SaaS application extension. These extensions are developed using Oracle Visual Builder Studio.

• FLEXDEPLOY-4160 - Fixed intermittent java.lang.NoSuchFieldException error in FlexRestClient during patch operation. This utility is used by webhook functions, custom pipeline gates and steps, and custom integrations.

• FLEXDEPLOY-3510 - Extract Project Files step in partial deployment project build execution did not account for time spent in retrieving commit information, hence there was time gap between steps. Now commit information is retrieved in background threads, hence it does not add time in workflow execution, and duration for step is also accurate.

• SonarQube Plugin

  • FLEXDEPLOY-4216 - fixed issue where proper executable was not being used on Windows.
