    • Extract data securely from ERP OData v2 APIs using ETL for use in remote tables and extraction tables. OData connects to SAP via HTTP.

    Wichtig:

    OData v2 does not use snapshot isolation so you might experience some data consistency issues when retrieving data from an external ERP source.

    Providing OData access to users

    You must have an SAP system that has been enabled to make an OData connection.

    Extract data using OData and an HTTP connection. To give users OData access, see the following instructions on the SAP help site: Back-End Server: Assign OData Service Authorization to Users.

    Enabling download of XML files

    The glide.attachment.extensions system property restricts the file types that can be downloaded. This property is empty by default. Check that the xml file extension hasn't been added to this property. For more information, see Restrict attachment file extensions.

    New properties

    The following are properties related to OData.
    Property Type Description Create manually? Role needed to edit property
    sn_erp_integration.catalog_service_path string After the hostname and port, this path is used to connect with any SAP catalog service. The default is: /sap/opu/odata/iwfnd/CATALOGSERVICE;v=2/ServiceCollection. After creating the property and setting it to true, a list of all services is retrieved from SAP. The information is stored in an XML file and attached to the system record. The XML can be used later. For example, parse the XML while offline with no connection to SAP.
    Hinweis:
    If there's an update in the catalog service and you want to update the table catalog information, first remove the attachment displayed on the ERP Systems page. Then, run the retrieval process again to refresh the list.
    		 Yes admin
    sn_erp_integration.odata_max_record_fetch_limit integer Limits the number of records fetched for GET calls by adding the $top parameter to the OData calls to reduce the number of records read from the Odata endpoint. No
    sn_erp_integration.odata_service_path string After the hostname and port, this path is used to connect with any SAP OData service. Add a URL in Value to specify the OData service. The default is: /sap/opu/odata/sap. Yes admin
    sn_erp_integration.response_timeout integer Specifies the timeout value for OData response. If OData calls are timed out frequently, increase the timeout value. Specify the value in seconds. The default is 100 seconds. This value is used for responses both from external web and from a MID Server. No admin or sn_erp_integration.erp_admin
    sn_erp_integration.use_cookies true | false Specifies if cookies must be used for OData connection. No admin or sn_erp_integration.erp_admin
    sn_erp_integration.use_csrf_token true | false Indicates if CSRF token should be sent for OData calls in Zero Copy Connector for ERP operations. No admin or sn_erp_integration.erp_admin
    Hinweis:
    To add a new property manually, verify that your scope is set to Zero Copy Connector for ERP, then navigate to sys_properties.list and select New.

    Heartbeat information

    For an ERP system, there are separate heartbeat indicators for RFC and HTTP. When a system is established, the heartbeats become active and the status is updated, including any errors. If the heartbeat calls are successful, BAPI and OData retrieval is triggered in parallel and the status can be seen on the system record. BAPI and table list retrieval is done via RFC. OData retrieval is done via HTTP.

    System record with ODATA retrieval status of completed.
