SAP OData connection

To access your data in SAP OData, create a connection asset for it.

Use the SAP OData connection to extract data from a SAP system through its exposed OData services.

Supported SAP OData products

The SAP OData connection is supported on SAP products that support the OData protocol version 2. Example products are S4/HANA (on premises or cloud), ERP, and CRM.

Create a connection to SAP OData

To create the connection asset, you need these connection details:

Credentials type:

  • API Key
  • Basic
  • None

Encryption:
SSL certificate (if required by the database server)

For Credentials and Certificates, you can use secrets if a vault is configured for the platform and the service supports vaults. For information, see Using secrets from vaults in connections.

Choose the method for creating a connection based on where you are in the platform

In a project
Click Assets > New asset > Prepare data > Connect to a data source. See Adding a connection to a project.
In a catalog
Click Add to catalog > Connection. See Adding a connection asset to a catalog.
In a deployment space
Click Import assets > Data access > Connection. See Adding data assets to a deployment space.
In the Platform assets catalog
Click New connection. See Adding platform connections.

Next step: Add data assets from the connection

Federal Information Processing Standards (FIPS) compliance

This connection can be used on a FIPS-enabled cluster (FIPS tolerant); however, it is not FIPS-compliant.
