Retrieve Service Metadata for a Dynamic Service Connection

After creating a dynamic service connection, you can retrieve the service's most recent metadata, ensuring that your extension is using the latest service definition.

To retrieve the service metadata for a dynamic service connection:

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

   

   
   

   The Metadata Retrieval section defines the method and URL for retrieving the OpenAPI document that describes the REST APIs for the dynamic service connection. In the example shown here, the GET method is used to fetch the most recent ADF Describe available on the vb-catalog://backends/base:crmRest/11.13.18.05:{REST-Framework-Version}/describe.openapi server.

2. Click Retrieve Metadata.
   The Endpoints tab displays a read-only view of the endpoints for the service connection's objects dynamically retrieved from the service's OpenAPI3 document corresponding to the source URL.
3. Click the Metadata tab.
   The metadata file's contents, including endpoints and type definitions, are displayed.
