Create a Child Backend for the Oracle Cloud Applications Backend

The process for creating a child backend based on the Oracle Cloud Applications backend is slightly different.

To create a child backend for the Oracle Cloud Applications backend:

  1. Open the Backends tab from the Services tab in the Navigator.

  2. Click the + sign for the top-level Oracle Cloud Applications backend:
    Image shows a list of backends in the Backends tab, including Oracle Cloud Applications. The + sign next to Oracle Cloud Applications 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, to add custom static headers, click + Header. To add a static header that won’t be available in the browser and will only be inserted at the server, click + Header under Secure Headers. Secure headers are useful when you want to apply a credential to a header without it being available in the browser.

  5. Click Next.

  6. For Instance URL, enter the rest of the path for your new backend after the slash (/) that follows the grayed out portion of the parent.

    Click the Info icon to see the complete URL that the backend resolves to.

  7. Enter other settings, as needed.

  8. Click Create.
