Jerma Bannett says
Why would anyone purchase VBCS when OIC comes with VBCS, and it seems like VBCS on its own costs much more?
Harshit Yadav says
Hi Jerma,
There are multiple phases of application building in VBCS and large enterprises have multiple OIC accounts with heavy workloads.
When you have a large team and this creates a need for more VBCS account but in OIC you can only create one VBCS account.
Also if there is no requirement of OIC then you choose VBCS in OCI.
Thanks & Regards

Sumith says
Do we need to know Basic/Adv Java or JavaScript, HTML for VBCS ?
Rahul Dangayach says
Hi Sumith,
You need to know basic HTML and JavaScript to use VBCS. VBCS is a visual development environment that uses Visual Basic Scripting Edition (VBScript) to create web applications. VBScript is a scripting language that is based on Visual Basic, but it is not as powerful as Java or JavaScript.
If you want to create more complex web applications, you may want to learn Java or JavaScript. Java is a general-purpose programming language that is widely used for web development. JavaScript is a scripting language that is embedded in HTML pages. It is used to add dynamic behavior to web pages.
Here is a table that summarizes the programming languages that you need to know for VBCS:
| Programming Language | Description |
|—|—|
| HTML | A markup language that is used to create the structure of web pages. |
| JavaScript | A scripting language that is used to add dynamic behavior to web pages. |
| VBScript | A scripting language that is based on Visual Basic. It is used to create web applications in VBCS. |
| Java | A general-purpose programming language that is widely used for web development. |
If you are new to programming, I recommend that you start by learning HTML and JavaScript. Once you have a good understanding of these languages, you can then learn Java or another programming language if you want to create more complex web applications.
Hope this helps.
Thanks and Regards

I would like to know the details about VBS to deploy the code. Approval process, any code deployment pipeline etc
Rahul Dangayach says
Hi Sri,
VBScript (Visual Basic Scripting Edition) is an interpreted scripting language developed by Microsoft that is a subset of its Visual Basic programming language. It is designed for interpretation by Microsoft’s Internet Explorer (IE) web browser, but can also be used on other platforms.
To deploy a VBS code, you can use a variety of methods, such as:
Manually: You can copy the VBS script to the target computer and then run it from a command prompt or a script file.
Using a software deployment tool: There are many software deployment tools available that can help you deploy VBS scripts to multiple computers. Some popular examples include Microsoft System Center Configuration Manager (SCCM), Puppet, and Chef.
Using a cloud-based deployment service: There are also a number of cloud-based deployment services that can help you deploy VBS scripts to multiple computers. Some popular examples include AWS CodeDeploy and Azure App Service.
The approval process for deploying a VBS code will vary depending on the organization. However, it is generally a good idea to get approval from the appropriate stakeholders before deploying any code to production systems.
Here are some of the things to consider when developing a code deployment pipeline for VBS scripts:
The type of scripts being deployed: Some VBS scripts may be more sensitive than others, so it is important to consider the level of security required when developing the deployment pipeline.
The target environment: The target environment will also affect the deployment pipeline. For example, if the scripts are being deployed to a remote server, the pipeline will need to include steps for transferring the scripts to the server.
The frequency of deployments: If the scripts are being deployed frequently, the deployment pipeline should be automated to minimize manual intervention.
I hope this helps!
Thanks and Regards
