    You can rename a catalog source after you create it, but to apply the change to all associated objects you must rerun the metadata extraction job.
    After you save the catalog source, you can update the description in Metadata Command Center and Data Governance and Catalog. The update appears only in the service in which you update it.
    8In the Connection Information area, choose how you want to provide the input. You can provide input through JSON and YAML files or with a Web URL.
    9If you select JSON/YAML Files, enter the path to the JSON or YAML file or directory that you created on the Secure Agent machine.
    10If you select Web URL, enter the URL of the OpenAPI document. The catalog source extracts metadata from this OpenAPI document. Enter a direct link to a file in JSON or YAML format, for example, https://api.example.com/openapi.yaml.
    Ensure that the URL you enter is a public URL that doesn't require authentication.
    11Click Next.
