REST Data Sources

Use the REST Data Sources page to manage REST data sources for all portals (if accessed through the Shared Assets page) or for the current portal (if accessed through the Assets page). More

The REST Data Sources page lists all the available REST data sources. Out-of-the-box, this page is empty as there are no built-in REST data sources in WebCenter Portal.
