SAP OData policy
A SAP OData policy contains the connection details that are used by a SAP OData Request node when connecting to SAP OData.
You can use a SAP OData Request node node in a message flow to connect IBM® App Connect Enterprise to SAP OData and issue requests to create, retrieve, update, and delete objects. The SAP OData policy controls, at run time, the access to the SAP OData resources.
The SAP OData policy is created when you configure a connection between a SAP OData Request node and SAP OData by using the Connector Discovery wizard. During the
process of discovery, account credentials are stored in the vault and connection details are stored
in a SAP OData policy. The policy is created with a type of SAP OData, and the name
of the policy is returned to the SAP OData Request node and
specified in the Connection tab of the node, in the format
{policyProjectName}:policyName.
You can also create, update, or delete a SAP OData policy by using the Manage Discovery Connector Policies and Credentials wizard, which you can access by right-clicking the policy project in the IBM App Connect Enterprise Toolkit and then clicking .
You must deploy this policy before message flows that use the policy are started. If you redeploy a SAP OData policy, all message flows that are using the policy will be stopped and restarted.
