Oracle SOA 12C - Create file based MDS manually or by import option from Jdeveloper

I  have installed oracle soa 12c (BPM) and was trying to create event(Human Task Event) based BPM process. I wanted to use HumanTaskEvent.edl file .  Then i found out there is no MDS schema present in default Derby database. We have to use local file based MDS which is by default created in JDeveloper workspace






But this folder was empty. So, i downloaded MDS schema zip file from  EM console and tried to import to this local MDS using JDeveloer.





But it was going in infinite loop which was quite frustrating.

So i decided to do it manually. So, unzip the MDS file(soa-infra_metadata) and copy SOA folder and pasted in the Jdeveloper's workspace soamds/app folder.

After refresh, i can seen all artifacts in MDS.







There is another way to do it. Remove Deployed Composite folder from MDS file  soa-infra_metadata and then zip it again as jar file. Then try to import into MDS from Jdeveloper. This time it will work. I think there is some issue with Deplyed Composite folder.
