IMPORTING DATA OBJECTS METADATA BASED ON APPLICATION INTERFACE TO SERVICE ENTITY MAPPINGS

The present disclosure relates to computer-implemented methods, software, and systems for importing metadata between applications. One example method includes obtaining, at a data warehouse application, metadata for relevant entities in response to a query defined for querying metadata from a metadata source associated with a source application. A service at the source application is queried to identify a set of programming interfaces associated with the relevant entities for acquiring data objects corresponding to the obtained metadata from the source application. Instructions are generated that can be used to configure the database associated with the data warehouse application to acquire a data object based on executing a call to a corresponding programming interface. The generated instructions are provided to the database to configure the database to automatically execute the call to acquire the data object from the source application.
