Field | Description | |
Name | (Optional). Name of the OData Service. Note: This is the name that users will see when they view this OData Service asset in the CentraSite User Interfaces. Therefore, we recommend that you specify a meaningful name for OData Service. An OData Service asset name can contain any characters (including spaces), and must be unique within an organization. If you have not specified a name for the OData service, CentraSite automatically populates the Name field with the data extracted from the OData Service URL or the EDMX file name. | |
Type | The asset type, OData Service. | |
Organization | The organization to which you want to add the OData Service. (The Organization list only displays organizations for which you have the Manage Assets permission or at least the Create Assets permission.) | |
Version | (Optional). The version identifier for the OData Service. You can enter any string in this field, that is, the version identifier does not need to be numeric. You can also leave the field blank. You can later create new versions of the OData Service. The default is 1.0. Examples: 0.0a 1.0.0 (beta) Pre-release 001 V1-2007.04.30 | |
Description | (Optional). The description for the OData Service. Note: This is the description information that users will see when they view this OData Service asset in the CentraSite User Interfaces. Therefore, we recommend that you specify a meaningful description for each OData Service. | |
Import a File | The input EDMX file for the OData Service. You may want to read the input EDMX file from a URL-addressable location on the network (the URL option) or from your local file system (the File option). | |
Option | Description | |
URL | If the EDMX file you are importing resides on the network, you can specify its URL. | |
File | If the specification resides in your local file system, specify the file name. You can use the Browse button to navigate to the required folder. |
Field | Description |
Credentials | If you have specified a URL and the site you want to access through the URL requires user authentication, type a username and password for authentication at the URL site. |
Resolution | Select a resolution strategy, which will allow you to specify how an already existing imported and included file is handled. For each of the imported and included files you have one of these options: Create new version: Creates a new version of the file with the new content (if, for example, you want to modify an EDMX file but want to retain its previous version). Always overwrite: Overwrites the importing file with new content. |
