Create and Manage Build Executor Templates

You can create and manage build executor templates from the Organization Administration page's Build Executor Templates tab.

Note

You can't create or manage executor templates if VB Studio is connected to the built-in free account. If you want to use software that isn't available in the default executor templates, configure VB Studio to connect to your OCI account. See Change Your OCI Account.

VB Studio offers these executor templates out-of-the-box for your organization to use. You can't modify or delete these executor templates.

Build executor template Description
System Default OL7 for Visual Builder Use this template to package and deploy extensions and visual applications. The template defines these software packages on Oracle Linux 8:
  • Node.js 18
  • Default software packages
System Default OL8 Use this template for build jobs that use the default software packages on Oracle Linux 8.
System Default OL7 Use this template for build jobs that use the default software packages on Oracle Linux 7.

If none of these meet your requirements, you can create as many executor templates as you need. Executor templates don't consume storage space or increase your cost.

You can create and manage executor templates from the Build Executor Templates tab on the Organization page:

  1. In the left navigator, click Organization Organization.
  2. Click the Build Executor Templates tab.
