OData Connections Consumer Overview
Use OData Consumer connections to read data from an OData Consumer service.
Create a connection and associate it with a Data Synchronization task, mapping, or Mapping Configuration task. Define the source properties to read data from an OData Consumer object. You cannot perform write target operations in a Data Synchronization task. You can also configure data filters based on your requirements.
You create an OData Consumer connection on the Connections page. Use the connection in the Mapping Designer when you create a mapping or in the Data Synchronization Task wizard when you create a task.
