Overview of Developer Connect
The Developer Connect portal provides information about the web services deployed to your Oracle Applications Cloud instance. You can use this information to integrate with or extend Oracle Applications Cloud and develop solutions to suit your business requirements.
To use the Developer Connect portal, your job role
must have the FND_INTEGRATION_SPECIALIST_JOB, FND_APPLICATION_DEVELOPER_JOB, or ZCA_CUSTOMER_RELATIONSHIP_MANAGEMENT_APPLICATION_ADMINISTRATOR_JOB privilege. Alternately, you can grant the ATK_WEB_SERVICE_INFO_ACCESS_PRIV entitlement to your custom
role, and then grant the custom role to users who require access.
For more information, see the security guide for the appropriate cloud
service at Oracle Help Center (https://docs.oracle.com).
To open the Developer Connect portal, from the Navigator menu, select . This portal displays dynamic information of the web services, and the modifications done to web services to integrate with Oracle Applications Cloud. You can synchronize the Developer Connect portal with your cloud instance to retrieve the latest web service information such as service attributes, operations, business objects, security policies, and WSDL files.
Use the Developer Connect portal to:
-
View the summary of the web service information such as the business object that the service defines, life cycle status, and security policy.
-
Discover the operations available for the selected web service, and the request and response payloads for each operation.
-
View the hierarchy of the service data objects and know information such as the data type and whether it's a required field for user-defined attributes.
-
Review the sample payload XMLs for the operations of the web service. You can add or edit sample payloads, and also delete user-defined sample payloads.
