How to Create Cross Reference Metadata

To create cross reference metadata:

In Oracle JDeveloper, select the SOA project in which you want to create the cross reference.
Right-click the project and select New.

The New Gallery dialog is displayed.
Select SOA Tier from the Categories section, and then select Transformations.
Select Cross Reference(XREF) from the Items section.
Click OK.

The Create Cross Reference(XREF) File dialog is displayed.
In the File Name field, specify the name of the cross reference file. For example, specify Customer.

A cross reference name is used to uniquely identify a cross reference table. Two cross reference tables cannot have same name in the cross reference repository. The cross reference file name is the name of the cross reference table with an extension of .xref.
In the Description field, enter a description for the cross reference. For example:
```
Cross reference of Customer identifiers.
```
In the End System fields, enter the end system names.

The end systems map to the cross reference columns in a cross reference table. For example, you can change the first end system name to SAP and the second end system name to EBS. Each end system name must be unique within a cross reference
