Create a Child Backend for the Oracle Cloud Applications Backend

The process for creating a child backend based on the Oracle Cloud Applications backend (supplied by the Unified Application) is slightly different, as the parent and the child backends are in different extensions.

To create a child backend for the Oracle Cloud Applications backend, which is inherited from the Unified Application dependency:

  1. Open the Backends tab from the Services tab in the Navigator.
  2. Click the + sign.
  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 + Add Header.
  5. Click Next.
  6. Click the URL text box to see the URLs for all the backends you can use, both in the current extension and those available through dependencies.
  7. Select the Oracle Cloud Application backend, then 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.

  8. Enter other settings, as needed.
  9. Click Create.

Notice that the child backend is not shown under the Unified Application, but rather where backends created for your extension appear:
