Create a Service Connection from a Catalog
A catalog provides a list of services and their endpoints from an Oracle cloud service backend or a custom backend. Using a catalog to create a service connection saves you time, as common configuration tasks like authentication, connection type, and headers are predefined for you.

To have a catalog of Oracle cloud services, such as Oracle Cloud Applications, Integration Applications, or Oracle Cloud Infrastructure Process Automation services, you need to have an instance of that service provisioned, and you need to have a backend that represents that service. To have a catalog of custom services, you need to have a custom backend for the services. For details on how to create a backend for an Oracle service, see Create a Backend, and for details on how to create a custom backend, see Create a Custom Backend.

Note:
If you don't see the Unified Application as a dependency, contact your administrator to confirm that you have the proper credentials and that your user role is authorized.
To access a service that isn't listed in your catalog, you can create the service connection by using a service specification (ADF BC REST, OpenAPI/Swagger), or by specifying an endpoint URL.
