Cataloging a SQL Component

Before using SQL tables from processes or BPM Objects, you must include them into the component catalog. When you catalog SQL table components, Studio gathers all the information it needs for integrating with your SQL database and executing statements at runtime.

Before performing this procedure, you should ensure that your database is installed, running and accessible from your system through JDBC.

You should also ensure that you have created a module where you want to catalog the SQL components. See Creating a Module.

To catalog a SQL Component:

  1. Right-click on the module where you want to catalog the SQL component.
  2. Select Catalog Component > SQL
  3. Select one of the following options:
    Option Description
    Use existing configuration Select this option if you have already configured an External Resource of type SQL Database.
    Create a new configuration Select this option if you need to configure a new External Resource of type SQL Database. See Creating an External Resource.
  4. Click Next. Oracle BPM Studio creates a list of SQL objects that can be cataloged. This may take several minutes.
  5. Select the SQL components you want to catalog.
  6. Click Next. The components are analyzed for dependencies and cataloged.
  7. Click Finish.

The components you chose to catalog appear in the Project Navigator.
