Add Business Objects to an Existing Catalog

If your catalog is missing one or more business objects, you can add new business objects to the catalog using the Business Object Catalog Editor. These new business objects must be available at the same host as the other business objects in that catalog.

Note:

The REST API type of the new business object must match the catalog. For example, you can't add an ORDS business object to an ADF REST catalog.

This is particularly useful when configuring a list of values.

1. Click Manage Catalogs.
2. In the Manage Business Object Catalogs window, select your existing catalog and click the Edit Business Object Catalog () icon.
3. From the Business Object Catalog Editor, click Business Objects.
4. From the Business Objects tab, click + Add, then select Import Additional Business Objects from Service Metadata from the menu.

5. Provide the URL or a file that contains the OpenAPI metadata of the new business objects and click Next.
6. Select the business objects you want to add, then click Next. If the list is large, type text in the Filter field to filter the list.

   The add-in only harvests the metadata for the selected business objects as well as any business objects referenced in any configured lists of values. The add-in also checks for and skips any duplicate business objects.

   When the add-in has imported the selected business objects, the wizard displays details of the action.

7. Review the details of the new business object, then click Finish.
   If there are any errors in the service metadata document, click Save Report to save the report to your local drive. Share this report with the service owner.
8. Click Done first in the Business Object Catalog Editor, then in the Manage Business Object Catalogs window.
