Last week we upgraded Oracle Visual Builder Studio with a new release – version 2204. This new version brings in the new features from the Oracle Visual Builder 2204 version and adds to them a host of new features for project management and continuous integration and delivery. Here are the key new capabilities.
Pattern Based Git Branch Protection
With the new version of VB Studio project administrators can configure Git branch protection using pattern matching. This helps you define protection standards based on the name of branches. For example you can have different protection rules applied to any new branch that is created with different rules for branches called fix* and branches called release*.
Reserved IP Addresses for Build Executors
You can now keep a fixed reserved ip address for a build executor VM. This is helpful if you need to whitelist the VM to have access to specific servers using network access rules.
Build Job Enhancements
You can now dynamically create, populate, and export parameters during a build process. This allows you to dynamically pass values from one build to the other based on the execution process.
Pipeline triggers – you can now define trigger actions that will launch a CI/CD pipeline in YAML. The actions will help you trigger the pipelines based on such things as commits to git, periodically, or manually. You can use both the pipeline designer and the logs to see the action chain and their impact on the pipeline.
