To create a child backend for a custom backend:

  1. Open the Backends tab from the Services tab in the Navigator.
  2. Click the + sign next to the intended parent backend:
    Image shows a list of custom backends in the Backends tab. The + sign next to the Demo Backend custom backend is highlighted.

  3. Select Custom ADF Describe to create a backend with an ADF Describe URL. For a backend that doesn't have a Describe URL, select Custom.
  4. Enter a name and description for the child backend. Optionally, click + Add Header to add custom static headers. To add a static header that won't be available in the browser and will only be inserted at the server, click + Add Header under Secure Headers. Secure headers are useful to apply a credential to a header without it being available in the browser.
  5. Click Next.
  6. Enter the instance URL for the child backend, beginning with the slash (/) that follows the grayed out portion of the inherited parent URL.

    You can click the Info icon to see the complete URL that the backend resolves to.

  7. Enter other settings, as needed.
  8. Click Create.
