Add More Endpoints to a Service Connection

After you create a service connection, you can add more endpoints. For a static service connection, you can add endpoints from the same source or add custom endpoints.

• To add endpoints to a static service connection:

  1. Open the Endpoints tab of a static service connection:

  2. Click + Endpoint. If your service connection was created for a service from the catalog, select Custom or From original_service in the drop-down list:

  3. Select or define the new endpoint in the Edit Service Connection dialog box. Your options depend upon the type of service connection and if you choose Custom or From original_service.

     For example, if your service connection was created for a service from the catalog and you choose to add an endpoint from the original service, you can choose from the list of endpoints available in that service.

     If your service connection was created from an endpoint, you will need to specify details about the request and response to add a new endpoint from the same source, as shown here:

  4. Optional: If you chose to add an endpoint from the original service, you can change how your connection’s service metadata is retrieved in the Metadata Retrieval Option drop-down. Select Dynamically retrieve metadata to convert your service connection to a dynamic one. For ADF Describe-based services, select Copy minimal OpenAPI to the application (recommended) to leverage both static and dynamic capabilities for your connection.

  5. Click Save.

• To add endpoints to a dynamic service connection:

  1. Open the Endpoints tab of a dynamic service connection:

  3. Select one or more objects in the Add Endpoint dialog box.

  4. Optional: Change how your connection’s service metadata is retrieved in the Metadata Retrieval Option drop-down. Select Dynamically retrieve metadata to convert your dynamic service connection to a static one. For ADF Describe-based services, select Copy minimal OpenAPI to the application (recommended) to leverage both static and dynamic capabilities for your connection.

  5. Click Add.
