Fusion Cloud extensibility

Extend Fusion without breaking the next update.

Visual Builder Studio, Redwood, Application Composer, Page Composer, Journeys and APEX: the sanctioned ways to make Fusion do what your business needs, built so quarterly updates never take them down.

The extensibility ladder
  1. Configuration

    • Delivered options
    • Flexfields & lookups
    • Approval rules
  2. Composers

    • Application Composer
    • Page Composer
    • Journeys
  3. Visual Builder Studio

    Redwood app extensions & standalone apps

    Git · pipelines · Fusion REST

  4. Beyond the boundary

    • APEX on ATP
    • OIC
    • OCI services

Overview

Extensions & Redwood, done properly.

Every Fusion customer hits the same wall: the process is ninety percent standard and the last ten percent is the part the business cares about. The wrong response is a workaround in a spreadsheet or an unsupported hack. The right one is Oracle's extensibility framework, used with discipline.

AMTEX builds extensions in the order Oracle supports them: configuration first, then Application Composer and Page Composer, then Visual Builder Studio for Redwood pages and standalone apps, then APEX or custom services on OCI when the requirement genuinely leaves the Fusion boundary. Every extension lives in VB Studio Git, is promoted by pipeline and is regression-tested each quarter.

What we deliver

Capabilities

Everything AMTEX builds, configures and runs across Extensions & Redwood.

  • Visual Builder Studio

    App extensions to Redwood pages, standalone web apps over Fusion REST, with Git-backed projects and environment promotion.

  • Redwood customisation

    Business rules, page layouts, field visibility and dynamic containers in the new Redwood UX without forking the page.

  • Application Composer

    Custom objects, fields, Groovy validation and triggers in CX, HCM and ERP where Oracle exposes them.

  • Page & Structure Composer

    Sandboxed UI tailoring, navigation and role-based page variants that survive updates.

  • HCM Journeys & guided processes

    Onboarding, transfers and leaver journeys with tasks, documents and integrations to identity and payroll.

  • Oracle APEX on ATP

    Companion applications for what Fusion does not model: registers, trackers, approvals with audit trails, reading Fusion data via REST.

  • Fusion REST & SOAP services

    Using and extending the Fusion API surface correctly: business objects, child resources, custom object APIs, BIP-backed reads.

  • Approval workflows (BPM)

    Approval rules, stage design, escalation and delegation across Procurement, Payables, Expenses and HR transactions.

  • Sandboxes & update lifecycle

    Sandbox strategy, publish discipline, quarterly regression against your extensions, and a fast path when Oracle deprecates something.

  • Security for extensions

    Custom roles, data security policies and OAuth for extension apps so access is auditable, not inherited.

The hard parts

Where these projects become difficult

The places programmes slip, and what we do about each one.

  1. 01

    Update breakage

    The problem

    A quarterly update changes a page or deprecates an API and the extension stops working the morning after.

    How AMTEX approaches it

    Extensions only through supported layers, a regression suite that runs in the test pod each quarter, and a review of Oracle's readiness notes before every update.

  2. 02

    Sprawl

    The problem

    Dozens of sandboxes, unpublished changes and nobody knows what is live.

    How AMTEX approaches it

    One sandbox per change, VB Studio Git as the record, a catalogue of every extension with its owner and business reason.

  3. 03

    Extension where configuration would do

    The problem

    Code written for something a delivered option already handled.

    How AMTEX approaches it

    Configuration-first triage on every request; we say no to custom work when Oracle already delivers it.

  4. 04

    Leaving the boundary too late

    The problem

    Forcing complex logic into Groovy or page rules that belongs in a proper application.

    How AMTEX approaches it

    Clear criteria for when a requirement moves to APEX or an OCI service, with Fusion as the system of record and OIC as the bridge.

How we work

From first conversation to steady state

  1. 01

    Triage

    Configuration, composer, VB Studio or external app: the decision made explicitly, with reasons.

  2. 02

    Design

    Data ownership, security, update risk and test plan agreed before code.

  3. 03

    Build

    In VB Studio Git or a sandbox, peer reviewed, promoted by pipeline.

  4. 04

    Sustain

    Quarterly regression, catalogue kept current, deprecations handled early.
