Introduction to SAP OData V4 Connector

You can use SAP OData V4 Connector to access SAP applications from Data Integration. Use the SAP OData V4 connection to securely read data from entities that are exposed and accessible through OData V4-compliant applications in SAP.

SAP OData V4 (Open Data Protocol Version 4) is a service that defines best practices to build and consume RESTful APIs. The SAP OData V4 service helps you to process SAP data in a standardized way in the data integration process. SAP OData V4 Connector communicates with the SAP OData APIs version 4 that are exposed through the SAP OData V4 service and accesses SAP applications.

When you use SAP OData V4 Connector, you can create an SAP OData V4 connection and use the connection as a source in a mapping and task. When you run the mapping or task, the agent reads from the OData V4-compliant application in SAP based on the workflow and SAP OData V4 connection configuration.

You can switch mappings to advanced mode to include transformations and functions that enable advanced functionality.
