SAP OData authentication

Prerequisites

To create a connection, you need the following credentials:

• Site URL - The URL of the SAP product you would want to connect with.
• Service - The SAP service you want to connect to, such as API_BUSINESS_PARTNER. For SAP C4C, keep the default value of NA.
• Username - Instance username.
• Password - Instance account password.

Note: If you're connecting to SAP S4 HANA, make sure the service you want to access is enabled. For activating and maintaining any service, refer to the Activate OData Services V2 documentation.

Retrieve the Site URL

If you're connecting to SAP S4 HANA

The SAP OData connector supports only SAP S4 HANA Cloud Private Edition. This means that the HTTPS API requests need both the host (a domain or IP address) and the port number (an identified process or service running on a host) to be publicly accessible.

To do this, you must expose your [Host]:[PORT] combination on a public network. You can achieve this using a tool such as ngrok, that creates secure tunnels from a public endpoint to the service running on your local machine.

Format example for the site URL using ngrok: https://<placeholder>.ngrok.app, where <placeholder> is a randomly generated string that identifies your ngrok session. This URL makes your locally running service (specified by the host and port) accessible over the internet.

If you're connecting to SAP C4C

To retrieve the site URL, navigate to your SAP Sales Cloud site URL. For example, https://my328080.crm.ondemand.com.
