Introduction to OData Consumer Connector

You can focus on business logic and build RESTful APIs with OData instead of defining request headers, response headers, status codes, HTTP methods, URL conventions, media types, payload formats, and query options. OData guides you to track changes and define functions, take actions for reusable procedures, and send asynchronous or batch requests. Use OData for extension and to fulfill any custom needs of your RESTful APIs. OData builds on core protocols, such as HTTP and commonly recognized methodologies like REST.

OData Consumer Connector integrates Data Integration with systems that are OData compliant. The connector uses the OData V4 protocol to communicate with these systems. Use the connector to connect to endpoints that support OData protocol version 4.

Use the OData Consumer Connector to connect to an OData Consumer service through restful API calls. Rest calls can be in ATOM/XML or JSON format. Choose the format that the OData Consumer service supports. Create an OData Consumer connection to specify objects that are exposed in an OData Consumer service that you want to include in a task.

Use OData Consumer Connector to securely read data from and write data to OData Consumer. You can use custom headers when you configure the write operation. You can use the OData Consumer connection in synchronization tasks, mappings, and mapping tasks.
