For project types where the catalog files are not discoverable, you can create the metadata manually. This provides FlexDeploy with the information necessary to pull the source file during the build. For some project types (such as Oracle EBS), you can have a combination of files discovered from source control and files whose metadata is provided manually.

FlexDeploy allows for custom sorting of all files when performing Populate from SCM action. This allows for sorting files as per FD_ORDER.seq file in root of your project. Just add full file as it shows on screen File Name (with Path) in this file in custom order. You just need to add the files that need to be ordered and not all files. Also, in case of EBS (DB Objects) / JDBC plugins sorting is based on project properties for extension based ordering. For example, if new .tbl file is discovered from SCM, then this helps you arrange it appropriately in DB Objects for EBS project. For example, FD_ORDER.seq may look like this.
