Developer Connect Portal
Use the Developer Connect portal to discover business object services, to look up service endpoints, and to view service data object metadata and customizations.
This portal runs on your cloud instance, and contains information about the specific set of services deployed to your cloud instance. It reflects the current service interface, and includes patches and service data object customizations, if any.
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.
To open the Developer Connect portal, from the Navigator menu, select Tools - Developer Connect. To synchronize the service information in the Developer Connect portal, click Synchronize and all the web services deployed to your cloud instance are listed. Information includes summary of the service, operations defined in the service interface, hierarchy of the service data objects, and privileges required to perform the service operations.
