The following table describes the OData connection properties that you must configure on the Connection Settings section:
Connection Property
Description
username
User name to connect to the OData service.
password
Password associated with the user name.
ServiceRootURi
Required. Root URI for the data source offered through the OData protocol.
The resource identified by the service root URI must be an AtomPub service document as specified in RFC 5023. The resource must follow the OData conventions for AtomPub service documents or an alternate representation of an AtomPub service document if a different format is requested.
You can view all the resource collections available for the data service based on the service document that is returned from the root of the ODate service.
Note: For information about the service root URI conventions, see http://www.odata.org/documentation/odata-version-2-0/uri-conventions

Note: Ensure that you use percent encoding to encode the key value pairs in the file.

  • - ATOM/XML
  • - JSON
