Recommended Practices for Deploying Redwood pages in Fusion

You’ve built and tested your Redwood application and user started using the pages. The data flows from OIC to fusion applications .... Now comes the critical step: going live.

Deploying Redwood apps inside Oracle Fusion isn’t just about moving code. It involves good planning around environment setup, access controls, end to end testing, and support. In this post, we’ll walk through key best practices to help you confidently roll out Redwood extensions in a production Fusion environment.

1. Align Deployment Strategy with Fusion Environments

Before moving any changes to production, understand and follow your organization change management process:

• Development: Where the redwood app is first built and unit tested

• Test/UAT: Where business users validate and run through their process

• Production: The live environment used by end/business users

Make sure your Redwood app and its associated OIC services follow the same lifecycle. Establish versioning and migration steps between environments.

2. Use Sandboxes for Final deployment and Testing

To safely embed your Redwood app into Fusion, always use Fusion Sandboxes:

• Use Page Composer to place the Redwood app on the desired screen

• Choose the right application roles and pages — e.g., Order Creation, Invoice Review

• Test the final version for layout, responsiveness, and role-based visibility

• Have business users validate the process flow using business scenarios

• Exit or publish the sandbox depending on readiness

This step ensures your Redwood extension blends into the Fusion and respects business process without any impact.

3. Check Security and Roles

Security is not often considered during development. Please make sure:

• Only authorized roles can access the new redwood app or related data

• Any REST integration process through OIC use token authentication

• Oracle Identity Cloud (IDCS) is set in place correctly

• Field-access and data masking in line with company policies

Have your security admin perform these task, get the approval before go-live.

4. Have a Change Management and Rollback Plan

Before deploy the redwood:

• Have a deployment checklist

• Document what’s being moved like Redwood app version, endpoint URLs, VBCS code

• Ensure backups of previous versions are taken

• Have a simple rollback steps in case of failure

• Avoid go-lives on peak business days, Start with simple changes and expand gradually.

5. Monitor After Go-Live — Don’t Just Walk Away

Once deployed:

• Monitor performance & errors via Visual Builder logs

• Enable OIC monitoring on key integrations

• Get user feedback on early issues or usability gaps

• Conduct a post-deployment review with key stakeholders

Redwood apps are dynamic and flexible — but success depends on good support and iteration.

6. Documentation and Train the Users

Create internal guides or sessions on:

• Where/How the Redwood extension appears in Fusion

• Who should use it andwhen

• How to report issues or request changes

A simple 10-minute walkthrough/document should be good for adoption.

Summary

Going live with Redwood apps in Oracle Fusion isn’t complex — but it does require care.

• Align business teams early

• Test thoroughly

• Secure intelligently

• Monitor continuously

• Support users after launch

With the right process in place, Redwood apps can bring modern, user-friendly experiences right into the heart of your ERP — with minimal disruption and maximum value. ✔
